Chapter 117 Strange Rules

Feng Tianning looked at the two people on his left and right with some helplessness.

"If you encounter danger outside, remember to hide behind me."

At the same time, in Southwest Yunle Village.

It was late at night, and a man in his forties or fifties was stealthily approaching the village chief's house.

"Zhang Laosan? What are you doing here?"

When Zhang Laosan turned around, he saw Chen Si, who was from the same village as him, and hurriedly stepped forward to cover his mouth.

"Keep your voice down, you're going to die!"

Chen Si looked at him with a confused expression and said:

"Didn't the village chief tell us not to go out without permission because there are wild bears around these days?"

"What are you doing here so late at night?"

Zhang Laosan hesitated for a moment, then pulled him to the pigpen nearby and squatted down. He glanced around before speaking in a low voice:

"What wild bear? The village dug up a treasure, and the village chief's family wanted to keep it all for themselves. That's why they didn't let us go out these days. They were afraid that we would see it."

"What treasure?" Chen Si asked curiously.

"Three ancient corpses were dug up at the village's ancestral temple. It's said there were quite a few burial objects, but they were all taken away by the village chief."

Chen Si was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief:

"How could there be a body in the ancestral temple? That's where our ancestors in Yunle Village have buried their bodies for generations."

"Besides, the discovery of the body certainly can't be hidden from the higher-ups. Aren't the village chief and his men afraid that someone from above will discover their actions?"

Zhang Laosan looked at him with some disappointment.

"They were afraid of this, so they sealed off the village overnight and didn't let us go out. I happened to see the whole family gathered around the ancestral temple when I went up the mountain that day, each holding something furtively in their arms."

"We are from the same village, so we can't let them take advantage of us."

Zhang Laosan turned his gaze towards Chen Si and said seriously:

"Do you want to do it? We'll take out the burial objects from the cemetery tonight, and we'll split it 50-50."

"Anyway, the higher-ups don't know what's going on here. If we insist that this is the original appearance of the cemetery, they won't be able to do anything to us."

Chen Si took a look at the rags on his body, gritted his teeth and said "OK".

The two hit it off immediately, and immediately took a few shovels and spades, imitating the costumes of the tomb raiders on TV and went to the ancestral temple in the back mountain.

It was almost morning when Feng Tianning and the others got off the plane, and the sky was faintly lit.

"Wake up."

She woke up the two people who were sleeping soundly next to her.

"arrive?"

Feng Tianning nodded and got off the plane first, followed closely by Fu Ruxuan and Xuan Gouchen.

"Director Cai said that the purple zombies in this village aren't particularly serious, so we can't just go in and capture them in a big way, to avoid hurting ordinary people."

"Well, we can just pretend to be lost tourists."

Feng Tianning nodded and agreed to their plan.

The place where the plane landed was quite far from Yunle Village, so they traveled along the way and finally arrived at the village gate.

"Tianning, this is it. Go in and act more realistically later." Xuan Gou Chen whispered in her ear.

Feng Tianning nodded and gave her a reassuring look.

"Who are you?" A little girl of seven or eight years old ran up to them and looked at them curiously.

Xuan Gou Chen wiped the sweat from his face, half-knelt down and looked at the little girl, his face full of smiles, just like a big-tailed wolf.

"Little friend, we are lost. It took us a long time to get here. How can we contact the outside world?"

"We are tourists from Kyoto. We have been walking for several days and are tired and hungry."

Fu Ruxuan followed closely behind, looking at the little girl pitifully.

Feng Tianning looked at the two of them in amazement. Aren’t these two people really good at acting?

The little girl really believed what they said, and after hesitating for a moment, she said:

"Then I'll take you back to my house. My father is the village chief, and our house is very big."

They nodded hurriedly and pulled the little girl away, fearing that she would change her mind the next second.

"Yaya, come back..."

The village chief's words got stuck in his throat when he saw the three people following Yaya. He pulled Yaya behind him and looked at Feng Tianning and the other two warily.

"Dad! I brought back three beautiful sisters!"

Yaya didn't realize something was wrong, and she poked her head out from behind the village chief and spoke excitedly.

"Who are you?"

The village chief's eyes turned colder. He pulled Yaya back a few steps and touched the shovel in the corner.

Fu Ruxuan smiled and recounted the story of the three girls getting lost in the mountains.

"Village Chief, we'll just stay here for a few days. As soon as we can make contact with the outside world, we'll leave immediately."

"Yeah, it's not convenient for the three of us girls to be outside."

Fu Ruxuan and Xuan Gou Chen sang in unison, and soon the doubt on the village chief's face dissipated a little.

"Yes, village chief, we will pay."

Feng Tianning came up from behind and took out a stack of red Mao Zedong notes from somewhere and stuffed them into the village chief's hands.

The village chief immediately smiled happily, spat and started counting. He stopped after three minutes with a satisfied expression on his face.

"It's a bit dangerous for you three little girls to be in this deep forest. You should stay here today."

"Something happened in our village recently, so the signal has been temporarily blocked. I will take you to town tomorrow to contact your family."

Fu Ruxuan nodded hurriedly, then changed the subject and said:

"What happened? I don't see many people in the village. Shouldn't it be time to work now?"

The smile on the village chief's face faded a little.

"Little girl, don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about. I'll send you away tomorrow morning."

"Also, don't open the door if someone knocks at night."

"I don't have enough rooms at home. You three should stay separately tonight. I'll help you contact the villagers."

The three of them looked at each other, feeling somewhat reluctant.

"Village chief, we can just squeeze in and not bother other villagers."

"no."

The village chief's stern refusal made them somewhat confused. As if realizing that he had overreacted, he hastily added:

"We have a rule in our village that no more than three people can be in a household at night."

"Yaya's mom is going to town and won't be back tonight, so I have to have one more person staying at my house."

No more than three people? What kind of weird rule is this?

"This is all for your own good," the village chief said earnestly.

Feng Tianning hesitated for a moment, and when she saw the other two nodded at her, she said okay.

The village chief smiled with satisfaction and went out to find villagers who were willing to accept them.

"Tianning, do you feel something is wrong here?"

"Only three people can live in one family. Isn't this rule too weird?"

Feng Tianning also nodded, his eyes fixed on the sky outside which was already brightening:

"You and the others can go later. I'll stay here."
