"I only have one question, why should a haunted house be cleared out for us foreign tourists to live in?"
Ning Qiushui stared at the woman on the bed, intently.
Mi Lan bit her lip and originally wanted to remain silent, but as soon as she saw the tablet in Ning Qiu's sailor, she couldn't stop trembling all over!
"That's not our intention... We don't want to be like this..."
Mi Lan's voice was filled with guilt and weakness.
"But the temple festival is coming soon...if we haven't prepared enough..."
As soon as she said this, she heard the middle-aged man in the room yell:
"Mi Lan!"
"Shut up, you don't want to live anymore!"
"Is this something that can be said?!"
The three of them were also startled by the middle-aged man's sudden roar!
They turned to look at the middle-aged man and found that his eyes were bloodshot and his mental state was somewhat abnormal.
"You can't say this... you can't say this kind of thing!"
"If the goddess finds out... we will be doomed!!"
When the goddess was mentioned, the middle-aged man seemed to have mentioned some kind of taboo. He was so frightened that his expression almost collapsed.
Mi Lan, who was about to tell Ning Qiushui and the others all this, seemed to be awakened by the middle-aged man's roar. She bit her lips tightly and stopped talking.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room had reached a stalemate again, Bai Xiaoxiao, who had been staying calmly beside Ning Qiushui, suddenly took out a sharp knife from his pocket!
This knife is also engraved with a person's name - Gardenia.
"I've killed enough people outside, so... the world after the Blood Gate usually doesn't like killing people."
Bai Xiaoxiao's voice suddenly became extremely cold, completely different from his usual lazy look!
The aura on her body became extremely terrifying, and a strong murderous aura filled the entire room. Even Ning Qiushui and Liu Chengfeng were frightened by her!
"If we don't find out the truth, we will die."
"Since we are all going to die anyway, why not kill a few more before we die... to serve as backup!"
She said, holding a knife and walking towards the middle-aged man step by step.
The latter casually picked up a wooden bench next to him and wanted to fight back, but he obviously underestimated Bai Xiaoxiao's skill.
He just ducked slightly, and the next moment, the sharp blade in Bai Xiaoxiao's hand had already pierced the middle-aged man's neck and subdued him to the ground!
The coldness of being close to death finally made the middle-aged man calm down.
He didn't dare to move.
Ning Qiushui and Liu Chengfeng on the side were also dumbfounded.
Damn it, is there such an operation?
Directly subdue the NPC in the blood gate through force?
"I have to tell you, this knife avoided your arteries, but if you dare to be bold, I just need to turn the blade of the knife slightly, and you will be dead!"
"Understand?"
At this moment, Bai Xiaoxiao's charming and cold temperament was completely revealed.
She was like a female fairy, riding directly on the middle-aged man. This should have been a very sexy scene, but the sharp and cold blade in her hand made it impossible for her to have any distracting thoughts!
Under the threat of death, the middle-aged man nodded slightly.
He didn't dare to move too much because the knife in Bai Xiaoxiao's hand was still stuck in his neck!
"Now, answer our previous question."
The middle-aged man closed his eyes in pain, hesitated for a while, and then said in a hoarse voice:
"I can tell you the truth you want to know, but you must not tell it to anyone else."
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled brightly, and her face, which was extremely cold a moment ago, suddenly became friendly again.
"Don't worry, we will never tell anyone else."
"But we know a lot of things. If I find out that you lied... you know the consequences."
After saying that, she withdrew the knife in her hand and wiped the blood off it very gracefully.
The wound on the middle-aged man's neck was not deep, and it obviously did not damage any important blood vessels. It only bled a little and stopped.
He let out a long breath. It was obvious that the middle-aged man already knew that if the three people in front of him didn't get the answers they wanted today, it would be difficult for him and his wife to survive.
"This matter is too long ago, and our understanding is not comprehensive. Let's make a long story short..."
"The village needs to hold a temple festival every year, and the sacrifices at the temple festival... are people!"
When they heard that the sacrifices at the festival were human beings, although the three of them were already prepared, they still couldn't help but shudder slightly.
"What do you want to sacrifice?"
The middle-aged man looked ugly.
"Sacrifice...some people who died a hundred years ago."
"Why sacrifice them?"
"I don't know about this... The goddess has always been in charge of all this. We... we are only responsible for providing sacrifices according to what she said, and we don't care about anything else..."
When Ning Qiushui heard this, he suddenly asked a very strange question:
"Why is the village so poor?"
When this issue was mentioned, the middle-aged man obviously fell into silence. After a long time, he said:
"Every year in the village, every household needs to sell a large amount of grain and meat, and use the money in exchange to build mountain temples and earth temples, so that we can have good weather in the coming year..."
Hearing this, Ning Qiushui suddenly laughed.
"The goddess is taking care of all this, right?"
The middle-aged man nodded.
"Yes, it is precisely because of the Goddess in Praying for Rain Village that everyone can live a stable life. We have no reason to refuse this kind of thing for the common benefit of everyone. Although we are poor, we are a little poorer, but at least... everyone can live in peace and stability. Stay alive."
Ning Qiushui thought for a moment and raised a finger:
"I want to ask you one last question, and then we'll leave."
middle-aged man:
"well."
Ning Qiushui said:
"How did Guangxiu's family die back then?"
As soon as he finished speaking, before the middle-aged man could speak, a strange, cold old woman's voice suddenly came from outside:
"A hundred years ago, when there was a famine in the village, the Guangxiu family not only hoarded a large amount of food secretly, but also killed the villagers who came to borrow food and even made them into food... This family usually rides on everyone's head It's okay to be a domineering person and use the name of Yanyu Temple to collect money and food. At this moment of life and death, he actually did such an outrageous thing, causing the people in the village to live in dire straits, and people were starving to death everywhere. Fortunately, my ancestor Ruan Kaihuang stepped forward and led the villagers into Guangxiu's home, thus ending his evil life!"
As soon as this voice came out, the bodies of the five people in the room tensed up instantly!
Especially the middle-aged man and Mi Lan on the bed were shaking violently, their faces were pale, and they had no trace of humanity...
pS: I will write four chapters today and save them in the evening. I should be able to write more chapters faster tomorrow.
