Lin Leyou packed all his things into bags and handed them to him, saying, "Thank you for your patronage. Welcome to come again next time."
Xue Rui also came over at this time. He bought less than Wu Yin, but it was all practical food that could fill his stomach, as well as water, and of course a knife, and... a hat?
Lin Leyou did the math, “Three hundred and sixty.”
Although there were fewer items, they were all quite expensive. It's clear that this person has lived a life of luxury since childhood; they always buy the best things.
On the first day alone, the income was nearly 700, which seems pretty good, at least there are players spending money.
Just as Wu Ying was about to say something, he noticed a lot of cigarettes and alcohol on the cabinet behind Lin Leyou. "Hey, boss, give me a bottle of alcohol and some cigarettes."
Lin Leyou nodded and collected several hundred more.
Xue Rui had already put on a hat, so now all you could see was his mouth and chin.
Wu Yin smiled and casually asked, holding a bottle of cigarettes and alcohol, "Hey boss, is it forbidden to go out at night in this village?"
Lin Leyou nodded casually, "Yes, don't go out after 10 p.m., and you shouldn't go out until at least 6 a.m. the next day."
Wu Yin, "Why?"
Lin Leyou sat down in the chair. "Why are you asking this?"
Wu Yin blinked and said with a grin, "We're here for sightseeing. We're staying at the farmhouse in front of here. That's what the villagers told us, but they won't tell us why."
"Two of my comrades died last night, and we don't even know how they died."
Lin Leyou remained calm upon hearing that someone had died, continuing with his own business as if death were nothing unusual.
"Um... I don't really know either."
Wu Yin, "Hmm?"
Lin Leyou said with a smile, "When I came to this village, I was told that I couldn't go out at that time of night, otherwise something bad would happen, so I never went out."
"Nothing strange happened before you arrived, and no one died. Did your companions break the rules?"
Wu Yin, "Follow the rules?"
Lin Leyou said matter-of-factly, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since the village has rules against doing certain things, then just don't do them. Why ask so many questions?"
After saying that, Lin Leyou casually waved his hand.
Wu Yin knew that the shop owner was unwilling to say anything more, so she reluctantly left the shop with Xue Rui.
Wu Yin: "Hey, Xiao Zheng, what do you think of this boss?"
Perhaps wearing the hat made him feel safer, he said, “The boss said that no one had died before and nothing unusual had happened, but when he learned that two people had died, his expression was normal, and he did not show any strange or frightened expression about the deaths.”
Wu Yin stroked his chin. "Yes, that's very suspicious. He must know something, or rather, the villagers in this village all know something, but they just won't say it... The people here are definitely not as simple as they seem now. Let's go back. It's better not to wander around the village."
Xue Rui had the same idea, "Okay."
When the two returned to the farmhouse, they discovered that something had happened there again.
One of the guest rooms actually collapsed!
Upon closer inspection, Wu Yin exclaimed, "What happened? Why did the house collapse?"
Everyone was gathered around the collapsed house, talking quietly, no one knew what they were discussing.
Wang Wen casually remarked, "We only heard a loud noise, and when everyone turned around, the house had already collapsed. These were all wooden houses, and the wood was somewhat rotten."
Wu Yin leaned closer to take a look, and it was indeed the case. "Then... how do the people living in this house sleep at night?"
It was only then that everyone realized what had happened.
At this moment, Zhou Xuan and Liu Lili, the two girls who had stayed in this room last night, looked even more anxious. This was their room.
"What...what should we do? What are we going to do tonight?"
"I don't want to sleep outside, I'll die, I'll die!"
They looked terrified.
Wu Yin glanced at it and casually said, "Should we ask that old man from before?"
Wang Wen: "Anyway, it's almost noon, he'll be here to deliver the food soon, right? Let's ask him then, hey, where did you get those things?"
He saw what Wu Yin and Xue Rui were holding and felt a little envious.
Wu Yin: "Didn't that old man say there was a small shop at the entrance of the village? We went to check it out."
Wang Wen's gaze swept over the shopping bags in their hands. "How's it at the convenience store?"
Wu Yin noticed his gaze, but didn't care. "He seemed perfectly normal. I asked the boss some questions, but he didn't say anything."
Although they said some things, it was as if they said nothing at all; they just told us to follow the rules.
Wang Wen stroked his chin. "Follow the rules? The rule that you can't go out at night?"
Wu Yin didn't care. "Probably. There's nothing else for now."
Wang Wen wanted to say something more, but unexpectedly the middle-aged man came over. He had come to deliver food. They were all quite hungry, but the food was really not very appetizing.
White rice and bok choy, that's all, not a single speck of meat, and... nobody knows if it's even edible. Breakfast is served, and some people eat it, but others don't.
Not to mention that two people died last night, and everyone was terrified. However, no one said anything openly, fearing that they would be the next to be killed.
Seeing that he was about to leave after delivering the food, Zhou Xuan and Liu Lili quickly went over to him, "Uncle!"
The middle-aged man stopped and turned to look at them. "What's wrong?"
They instinctively took a step back. It was one thing for them to be timid, but the middle-aged man's expressionless face was also quite frightening.
Zhou Xuan whispered, "Our house collapsed. What are we going to do if we have nowhere to rest tonight?"
The middle-aged man pointed impatiently in a direction, "Isn't there an empty one over there?"
Everyone instinctively looked in that direction, only to find the house where two people had died the night before. Zhou Xuan and Liu Lili were startled and wanted to say something, but when they turned around, they found that the middle-aged man was gone.
"He's gone!" Zhou Xuan screamed.
"Holy crap, walking that fast?"
Everyone huddled together in fear, after all, that middle-aged man was really too suspicious, and they were afraid that he would appear behind them at any moment.
After waiting a while, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the middle-aged man appear in front of the house. Then, a few people who were really hungry turned their attention to the food that had just been delivered.
Want some?
If we eat it, what if there's something wrong with the food?
If we don't eat, we'll definitely starve to death, since we have to stay here for seven days!
At this moment, everyone thought of what Wu Yin and Xue Rui had in their hands. There was nothing they could do but go to the convenience store to check.
