The eyebrowless man looked up carefully.
There was light in the gap at the basement entrance above the two of them, but something was wrong with that light.
What should have been a straight line of light turned out to be a blurry shadow.
It was so bright, it was like someone was standing on it.
In an instant, the eyebrowless man felt a chill rush into his heart.
There's someone outside!
Have you discovered them? Are there people outside waiting for them to go up?
But at this moment, the person above finally spoke.
"Li Da, look at this place. Did you not close it properly? The soil here is not covered at all. What if outsiders discover our basement? The secrets of our village cannot be known to them!"
It was an older male's voice, and it didn't sound like a village chief.
Then, it was Li Da's voice.
"No, I buried all the soil when I put the pork bones... Who, is this tampering?!"
After hearing their conversation, Huanxiao and the eyebrowless man quietly retreated in tacit agreement and climbed down again...
Fortunately, Huanxiao and the eyebrowless man turned off the flashlights of their mobile phones when they went up the stairs, otherwise, they might have been exposed by now.
The two of them evacuated downwards little by little and decided to hide deep in the basement for the time being.
The eyebrowless man has realized that the current situation is not good. If they are caught by someone outside in the basement, they will probably be killed by the villagers.
It’s no wonder that he thought so badly of the villagers, it was because the game was full of dangers. If he didn’t think badly of people, he would have been dead long ago.
Now, he can only pray that Li Da and the others will not come down, otherwise, he and Huan Xiao may disappear and die like the watch man before!
When Huan Xiao and the others went down the stairs silently, the sounds from above the basement still came through the gaps.
"Humph, you said the same thing last time. There were no outsiders at that time. Could it be that we old men framed you?"
"...Uncle Zhang, I really remember my burial!"
Li Da's voice was full of innocence.
There was silence outside for a moment, and then Uncle Zhang's voice appeared again, saying:
"Okay, then open it and see if there is anyone inside. If there is no one, I will complain to Lao Li."
"...There's no need to tell my grandpa about this. Why bother him with such a trivial matter?"
Along with Li Da's weak voice, there was the sound of someone stepping hard on the wooden board.
Uncle Zhang shouted sternly:
"Stop talking nonsense and open it for me!"
"Yes, please don't be angry...Besides, even if those outsiders find out, we can still control them..."
"Li Da! Do you mean to let us old people deal with those strong young people?...You pig brain! Alas..."
Uncle Zhang let out a long sigh, and then there was the sound of the basement planks being opened.
A bright light suddenly appeared in the dark basement, illuminating the entire basement.
Looking down, I saw that the basement passage was empty.
Li Da held the flashlight, his fat body shaking, tentatively stretched out his feet and stepped on the basement stairs.
Behind him was Uncle Zhang with a deep look in his eyes.
"Wait a minute"
Uncle Zhang sternly stopped him.
Hearing this, Li Da looked at Uncle Zhang suspiciously and didn't understand why he was asked to stop.
Seeing Li Damu's stunned look, Uncle Zhang put his forehead on his head and shook his head, reminding:
"You're going down like this? With your body, if there's someone down there, I'm afraid you'll have to go in directly."
"...and me?"
Li Da still didn't know why.
"Get a weapon, get a sharp knife"
Uncle Zhang lowered his voice and said in a voice that only two people could hear.
Hearing this, Li Da nodded hurriedly and ran to get the weapon.
At this time, in the basement.
Huanxiao and the eyebrowless man walked as quickly as possible to the place where the bones were stacked. After they stood still, they saw a beam of light shining down from above the basement.
Time was running out, so they did not use the flashlight function of their mobile phones. Instead, they used the dim light from their mobile phone screens to find hiding places underground.
Suddenly, the eyebrowless man exclaimed softly.
Huanxiao looked sideways and found that the eyebrowless man had his back to her.
She asked in a low voice:
"What's wrong?"
"...Sister Xiaohuan, I, I accidentally pulled off the talisman on the wall just now, and now I can't put it back on."
The eyebrowless man hurriedly put the talisman paper on the wall, but he couldn't stick it back.
He panicked and said:
"It's over, isn't this talisman used to seal evil spirits? Are we going to die?"
"There are hundreds of talisman papers here. It doesn't matter if one is missing, right? Who would care?"
Huan Xiao saw that there was no ghost energy on the talisman that had been removed.
Such talisman paper will not be able to play its original role even if it is put back on the wall.
But the eyebrowless man was very serious. He insisted on sticking the talisman paper back and said:
"I care! Maybe the villagers in Huai Village care too. This is the formation. No, I have to stick the talisman back to its original place, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
"Okay... If you can't do this, let me do it."
Huanxiao didn't want to waste time, so she reached out and asked the eyebrowless man to hand the talisman to her.
The eyebrowless man asked hesitantly:
"Sister, can you do it? This wall is very special. You can't stick it back with ordinary methods."
"Don't worry, I have a solution"
Huanxiao saw the light in the basement shaking, and knew that the people above were about to come down, so she took the talisman paper from the eyebrowless man's hand, and with a little effort, she glued the talisman paper to the wall.
However, this talisman paper is different from other talisman papers. In addition, Huanxiao is in a hurry and is not in the mood to imitate the ghostly aura on other talisman papers. This talisman paper affixed by her own hands is different from the others.
But the eyebrowless man couldn't see ghost energy, so he only felt it was magical and said in surprise:
"No, how did you stick it on? I just tried several times and couldn't stick it on. Why did you do it so easily?"
"...The intensity is wrong. Maybe you are too strong."
Huanxiao dealt with him seriously, then reminded the eyebrowless man, saying:
"Let's hide, they're coming down!"
"...Yes! Find a place to hide first."
The eyebrowless man no longer struggled with the issue of the talisman, but walked around the pile of bones.
When he returned to Huan Xiao again, his expression was livid and he said to Huan Xiao:
"Oops, there is no hiding place here, unless... we hide in the bone pile."
"..."
Hearing this, Huan Xiao looked at the smelly pile of bones in silence and frowned hard.
You want her to hide in a place like this? Absolutely impossible!
