Chapter 721 White Rice

"I already said I would give you money, what else do you want?"

Seeing that Lao Sun was already crying, Achen walked to me in two or two steps.

"Canglang!"

He pulled back with one hand, and a katana appeared in his hand.

"As long as I'm here, I promise to bring you back safely."

Ah Chen thrust his samurai sword forward and placed it across Lao Sun's neck: "If you have an affair, I will definitely choose a good-looking urn for you."

Ah Chen looked at the cliff behind him: "Mopanling is a place where accidents often happen. Is it reasonable for you to die here?"

Following Ah Chen's words, Lao Sun didn't dare to speak anymore.

After a long while, he bit his lip and opened the car door with one hand: "Let's go!"

It was thrilling enough just now, but now such a commotion has caused this temporarily formed team to fall apart.

Ah Chen returned to the co-pilot expressionlessly, holding the katana sheathed in his arms.

The car finally got back on track, and I sat in the back and patted Ah Chen.

"Brother, we are all thieves in the same boat. Tell me what is going on?"

Ah Chen hugged the knife in his arms tighter and whispered: "There is no benefit in knowing too much."

"Liang Hai did ask you to be the leader, but you are just a sideshow. Knowing your position clearly will allow you to live longer."

Taozi suddenly laughed: "It's so windy outside, I'm really not afraid of flashing my tongue."

I quickly grabbed Taozi's hand and shook my head to tell her to stop talking.

Nowadays, people's hearts are already divided. If something happens again later, it will be bad if someone stabs you in the back.

Besides, Ah Chen is indeed quite capable, so there is no need for such a stalemate.

The car became more and more stable, and Lao Sun was not as nervous as before.

The sparse villages gradually appeared in our sight, and Lao Sun gradually slowed down.

I looked at the map and whispered, "Stop the car and enter the village."

Lao Sun didn't say much and drove the car towards the village.

I didn't ask Lao Sun to stop the car until we reached the village entrance.

Ah Chen looked at me suspiciously: "Aren't you going in?"

"yes."

"Then where shall we live?"

I looked at the dotted lights and said softly: "We are originally from outside the village. So many people entering the village at the same time are too eye-catching."

After a brief silence, Ah Chen laughed a few times: "Okay, you are the one chosen by Liang Hai, and I won't be stubborn with you."

"Whoever proposes it is responsible."

Ah Chen divided the responsibilities very neatly, so I didn't say anything and got out of the car first: "Tao Zi, follow me."

I looked down at my phone. The signal wasn't too bad: "You guys wait for me where you are."

Taozi put on flat shoes and followed me quickly.

I whispered softly: "Let's go explore, it's best to find someone to stay with."

At this time, the sun has not yet set. It is supposed to be the time to walk back from the fields, but there is no one in the village.

Taozi put her hands on her hips, looked around, and muttered: "Isn't this village uninhabited?"

I sniffed hard and said, "If it smells like food, there must be someone there."

I looked around and pointed my hand eastward: "Go and have a look."

The door of this house is obviously much cleaner, and there are pickles hanging on the ground. There is no way there is anyone there.

After the two of us knocked for a long time, there were finally footsteps inside.

I lay on the door panel and listened carefully. The footsteps were indeed moving towards the door.

"Squeak."

The door was opened a small gap, and a bowl of white rice was brought out.

The next second, the door was slammed shut again, and there was even the sound of being locked inside.

Taozi and I looked at each other, one more confused than the other.

I squatted down and touched the rice, which was still steaming.

Are you treating me as a beggar?

Taozi wanted to knock on the door, but I stopped him: "Something's not right, try another place."

The second house, the third house...

This is the case for every household. We knocked on five doors and got five bowls of white rice, but we didn't even hear a word.

Tao Zi rubbed her chin: "This seems like some kind of ritual."
