Sun Zhaoren opened his mouth to say something, but considering Huan Xiao's presence, he swallowed what he was about to say and said instead:
"Nai, please don't force others. Xiaohuan said before that she doesn't like eating meat. Why are you bothering?"
"Hey, Xiaohuan, this kid is talking nonsense out of conscience just to take care of you. Is there anyone in the world who doesn't like meat as much as you? Just the boy from the village chief's family, Li Da, ate a big bowl today."
Knocking the cane hard, Grandma Sun snorted coldly.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Huan Xiao looked at the re-closed bamboo box and realized that the so-called 'fragrant meat' was probably not just ordinary food.
Why does Sun Zhaoren avoid fragrant meat so much, but Grandma Sun loves to eat fragrant meat as if she is addicted?
Not only that, raising fragrant pigs and holding banquets are also popular in the village. This means that ghosts that come out at night are not taken seriously at all. In this village full of ghosts, are the villagers living too comfortably?
...It's like they are dismissive of the threat of ghosts.
"Nai, you can't do this anyway. Xiaohuan is leaving the village with me. If you really like her, then you'd better like someone else."
Sun Zhaoren refused to give in at all.
Seeing how stubborn she was, Grandma Sun smiled and said:
"Okay, if you don't want to eat, don't eat. Today's young people don't even want to enjoy happiness. Since Xiaohuan doesn't want to eat, grandma, I will keep it for myself."
After speaking, Grandma Sun took the bamboo box back.
Immediately, as if she thought of something, Grandma Sun turned her head and said to Huan Xiao:
"Xiaohuan, do you have a few companions in this village?"
"...Yes, we got separated last night. Did Grandma Sun see them?"
Last night, the five people were chased by the ghost in white, and they didn't know where they went.
Huan Xiao had no intention of looking for them, but if he knew their location, Huan Xiao would still go to gather them.
"Yes, I just met four strange young people at the village elder Li's house. They were eating meat happily. I didn't want to disturb them, so I didn't ask."
Grandma Sun's smile instantly turned into squinting eyes.
Listening to what she said, there are only four of the five remaining players? Did the other one not come out somewhere else or did he die?
Huan Xiao thought for a moment, and then said to Grandma Sun:
"They should be my friends, but I didn't expect them to be in the same place."
It can be seen that the ghost in white last night still has some talent for shepherding, and he did not chase the players away.
After Huan Xiao finished speaking, before Grandma Sun could continue speaking, Sun Zhaoren couldn't help but ask:
"Xiaohuan, are you going to find your companion?"
"Of course, now that I know where they are, I will naturally go find them," Huan Xiao replied with a nod.
Hearing this, Sun Zhaoren's face became strange. After thinking for a moment, she said:
"If you go to them and the village chief asks you to stay at his house, you...well, don't agree to him."
Sun Zhaoren seemed to have thought about his words for a long time before speaking out, but Grandma Sun was not happy about it.
She poked the floor with her crutch several times and lectured:
"Zhaoren, don't trick your Grandpa Li. They are safe there. Aren't your words misleading?"
"...Mom, that's not what I meant... Grandpa Li's house doesn't have that many rooms. Adding Xiaohuan to the house might make it too crowded. Why don't we let her continue to live with us? Don't cause trouble to Grandpa Li." "
As soon as these words came out, the seriousness on Grandma Sun's face disappeared, and the smile returned to her face again. Her face changed so quickly that it was amazing.
Grandma Sun said lovingly:
"Hey, the Zhaoren Association is considerate of the people in our village. You are right. There are already four over there. One more will be troublesome, so let's do it like this."
Seeing that they had already discussed it, Huan Xiao said to Sun Zhaoren:
"Sister Sun, I'm going to the village chief's house to find my friends now... It's noon, I shouldn't be picked up by a passing wild wolf, right?"
"It's just a few steps. Don't be afraid. Just keep walking along this road. When you reach the end, turn right and you'll be there."
After Sun Zhaoren finished speaking, he asked Huan Xiao to come back before dark to avoid encountering ghosts that appeared at night.
Huan Xiao agreed, said goodbye to them, and walked out of the yard.
At a glance, Sun Zhaoren had pulled out all the weeds in the yard. If Huan Xiao had seen this scene last night, he would not have doubted whether anyone lived in the house.
Walking on the cement road, I looked back and saw that the van parked before was no longer where it was. It must have been moved by the villagers who saw it.
The crops in Huai Village were growing very well, but Huan Xiao noticed that she didn't see a single villager along the way.
…Don’t people here like to go out?
The cool breeze blew through my hair along the way, and the huge sun was like a decoration without a trace of heat.
Soon, she walked to the place Sun Zhaoren said.
It was a large yard, much larger than Sun Zhaoren's house. Inside the yard was a house similar to a self-built house in a rural area.
The white tiles shine in the sunlight, and the all-white decoration makes people cry when they are stung by the light.
There were a few people chatting outside, and Huan Xiao saw three players, a girl with disheveled hair, a boy with no eyebrows, and a girl with blue hair.
"Hey! Here, here, where did you go last night? We were still thinking of looking for you later."
The blue-haired woman smiled enthusiastically and was the first to discover Huan Xiao.
"...You are still alive, you are so lucky."
The dish-haired girl also saw Huan Xiao.
The eyebrowless man next to her raised his hand and said:
"Come on, sister, it's great that you're okay."
Huan Xiao walked over and saw a hunched old man drinking tea at the table. He should be the head of Huai Village.
Li Da, whom she had met before, was not here. Huan Xiao found that Village Chief Li was looking at her, so she walked over and said hello.
Village Chief Li had the same kind smile on his face as Grandma Sun, and said:
"You are the person who lives in Sun's house, right? I heard from Li Da that Zhao Ren likes you very much. Sure enough, there is always something to talk about between young people. They have become so close after just one night."
"No, I would also like to thank Grandma Sun for taking me in. Everyone is a kind person."
Huan Xiao smiled and said polite words.
Unexpectedly, Village Chief Li said with a smile:
"What a lovely-looking baby. Do you want to stay here? I will send Li Da to notify the Sun family then, so you don't have to go to all the trouble of running back and forth."
