Su Qingyu needed the village chief to let them stay overnight, but the place where they stayed could not be the village chief's home.
She lowered her long eyelashes, spoke carefully, and said in a gentle tone: "Village Chief, I am a ranger working here. You told me so many things in the village, but I can't understand it.
It's getting late now, and I won't be able to finish the work you asked me to do today, but please don't worry, I will continue to count these tickets tomorrow.
As for tonight... Village chief, where do you think it would be more appropriate for us to stay overnight? "
The village chief was talking enthusiastically at first, but when he saw that Su Qingyu was talking less and less as he got further back, he stopped talking about things in the village.
"You can come to my house. I stay in the village committee every night. If I don't go home, the bedroom will be empty.
The old lady you just saw lives in my house. In addition to her, there is also an old grandfather. They call themselves my parents and will only come out to take care of me during the day.
It just so happens that the bed in my bedroom is empty. You can move an extra bed in and live there. "
Su Qingyu declined politely: "It's not appropriate for us to live in your home without you."
"Then..." The village chief hesitated, "That's right. The two people living in my house cook in the kitchen every night and like to knock on other people's doors. It's very noisy. You have to work during the day and don't rest at night. Good or bad.
Well, if you don't think it's shabby, you can live in the village committee.
There is a utility room in the village committee, which is usually a lunch room. If there is no one at night, you can clean it a little. You can stay overnight. "
Su Qingyu happily agreed.
Accepting the village chief's invitation and living in the village committee is a safer choice.
After a while, the old lady got rid of the white fire, took out her crutches, and walked hurriedly to find the village chief: "Son, have you finished talking? It's time to change the dressing. Let me take you back to change the bandage on your body first. Bar."
The old lady looked at Su Qingyu nervously.
"That's it, I'll go back with you to change the dressing now."
The village chief winked at Su Qingyu, instructing her to keep it secret and not to expose the old lady's identity. Su Qingyu understood.
After the old lady pushed the village chief to leave, Bai Huo entered the village committee.
"Miss Su, I discovered that there are many strange things in this village." Bai Huo looked serious, "When I helped the old lady read her palm just now, I found that her lifeline was intermittent, with many horizontal lines on it, like I experienced many forced life extensions in the process.
After discovering this strange thing, I walked around other parts of the village and talked to local elderly people. I found that their palms were all very similar. "
Su Qingyu truthfully told Bai Huo what the village chief told him.
Bai Huo was silent.
Su Qingyu said: "The people in this village actively believe in the new monkey god. The fact that they can destroy the monkey temple shows that the level of danger is higher than the previous two villages.
The rules ask us to keep vigil with each other at night, it must be because of what will happen at night.
Soldiers will block us, water will block us, and water will block us. All we can do is abide by the rules and leave as soon as possible after exploring the village. "
Bai Huo nodded: "What Miss Su said is absolutely true."
After the two people sorted out the fines, the staff here told them that several elderly people who had not paid the fines had died.
Utility room space is small.
There was only a tarpaulin and an iron frame bed inside. She took out some thick quilts from the tribute card, some were spread on the iron frame bed, and some were spread on the tarp.
Bai Huo used a broom to sweep away the dust in the corners.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through.
The wind came inexplicably and closed the door of the utility room.
"No!" Bai Huo went to open the door and found that the door could not be opened. "It seems that the door can only be opened from the outside."
"Ah?" Su Qingyu put down the quilt in her hand. She walked over and turned the door handle, and found that the door was indeed closed tightly. "The wind is coming in weirdly. I'm afraid it's trying to trick us."
Sure enough, the next second, someone knocked on the door.
"Regular disinfection. Is there anyone inside?" A hoarse voice came from outside the door.
Su Qingyu was lying on the ground and looking out from the crack of the door, she could see several feet covered with white shoe covers.
[Monkey God Mountain] Ranger Rules (2) Article 3.
[In order to prevent infectious diseases, the village will carry out regular sterilization work every day. Disinfection staff wearing white overalls will knock on the door of the room where you live with a watering can in hand.
Remember to open the door for staff.
If you do not carry out disinfection for three consecutive days, you will be infected with serious infectious diseases. 】
Bai Huo took a small claw hammer from the utility room, weighed it and said, "It's a disinfectant. How about we break the door lock?"
Su Qingyu frowned slightly and said, "No, the rules say you remember to open the door for the staff, which means the door should be closed under normal conditions.
If we destroy the door, we may face greater danger at night. "
"Is there anyone inside? If there is no one, we will leave." The disinfectant outside the door urged.
Su Qingyu couldn't see the clothes those people were wearing, and didn't know whether those people were real or fake.
Just looking at their shoes, they do look like disinfectants.
"Someone is there!" Su Qingyu responded from inside, "Can you open the door for us from the outside?"
As Su Qingyu finished speaking, the doorknob turned again.
Someone opened the door again from outside.
The people outside tried it and shouted inside: "We can't open it from the outside. Oops, we still have many places that need to be disinfected. We can't waste time here. If you can't open the door, we'll leave first." .
We will come again at the same time tomorrow. It doesn’t matter if we miss one day of disinfection. Just wait for tomorrow. "
After saying that, those people outside left regardless of Su Qingyu's efforts to stay.
"This is the first time." Bai Huo's cold eyes fell on the closed door, "There are only three chances."
Su Qingyu took out the wire from his black backpack.
"I can pry the door open, it just takes half an hour."
"The girl is really versatile."
Su Qingyu said with a smile: "This is called having too many skills and not being overwhelmed."
She used the wire to explore the keyhole, and Bai Huo continued to clean the room.
Half an hour later, Su Qingyu opened the door.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and saw many muddy footprints at the door of the room.
Bai Huo walked over. He saw the messy footprints at the door and asked, "How is it? Are they disinfectants?"
Su Qingyu analyzed: "The footprints are muddy, and they most likely came from the mountains."
Bai Huo pointed to the ground and nodded: "The footprints are the size of a normal human being. There are no traces of crutches. They should be young people."
At this time tomorrow, they must open the door.
Su Qingyu asked the staff for the key to the utility room. The staff originally claimed that the key was lost. It was not until Su Qingyu gave him one hundred coins that the staff gave her a large number of keys and asked her to try them one by one. .
Fortunately, before nightfall, she got the correct key.
