Chapter 343 [(*^▽^*)]
After saying this, Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief. He almost let something slip, but thankfully, he managed to cover it up in the end.
Sichuan peppercorns: "Oh dear, I didn't mean to say that, it's just that it looks so much like her. I thought of her the moment I saw her, there's nothing I can do about it."
Lin Leyou said, "You can't go around talking about it, lest you get yourself into trouble. After all, Luo Qingzhou isn't someone to be trifled with in the village."
Having obtained no useful information, Huajiao and the others also left, leaving only the three of them at the intersection. Zhao Changzhou smiled and took his leave without saying much.
Only Xue Rui remained to continue walking with Lin Leyou. They had just reached the road in front of Lin Leyou's house when they saw the village chief walking towards them.
The thought that the village chief was Qin Fengmian made him want to laugh, but fortunately, he had good self-control and didn't show it on his face.
The village chief greeted Lin Leyou with a smile, then looked at Xue Rui and said, "The police from the police station just told me that your parents have calmed down, realized their mistakes, and are willing to accept ideological education. If there are no accidents, they will be back in a couple of days."
Xue Rui nodded, "I understand."
The village chief continued, "Also, your parents sent a message to you through the police. They told you that while they're away for the next few days, you must go home to rest at night and not stay outside."
Xue Rui was taken aback for a moment, "What if I want to stay somewhere else?"
The village chief frowned slightly. "I don't know what happened, but the police said your parents spoke very seriously, saying they care about you a lot and that they would be very worried if you stayed at someone else's house."
Xue Rui thought about it carefully, then nodded, "I understand."
After delivering the message, the village chief left. He didn't care whether Xue Rui would actually go home or not; he was only concerned with conveying the message.
Lin Leyou waited until he was far away before saying, "It seems the village chief knows his identity has been exposed."
Xue Rui: "Well... Zhao Changzhou probably told him."
Lin Leyou said, "This acting is amazing; we should all learn from it."
Xue Rui said, "I don't want to become an old man. Even though I'm the village chief, my body won't be strong enough to escape quickly when danger comes."
Lin Leyou said, "He has Zhao Changzhou."
Xue Rui, “…”
Yes, Zhao Changzhou also helped them when they were in danger.
Lin Leyou: "So, where are you staying for the next couple of days?"
Xue Rui looked at him without saying a word.
Lin Leyou turned and walked home. "If you don't mind, come over."
Xue Rui smiled and quickly walked to his side, "I knew Brother Lin wouldn't let me go back to live here."
Lin Leyou said, "Who knows if continuing to live here will really lead to my death? It's better to be on the safe side. Let alone that room, I shouldn't live in that house either."
Xue Rui, "But they'll be back in a couple of days, and then I'll..."
They are his parents, and he is their son. With this relationship in place, Xue Rui cannot truly break ties with them.
Especially after the blue bricks, bones, and coffins were all cleared away.
Lin Leyou said, "What's the big deal? Just say you think the room is unlucky and you plan to air it out before moving back in."
Xue Rui said, "That's fine, but... we can't let them know I'm staying at your house, otherwise they'll definitely come and cause trouble for you."
Lin Leyou, "...Then where do you live?"
Xue Rui pointed to the mountain closest to the village, "There is a fairly clean little wooden house halfway up this mountain. I said I would go there to stay for two months, and then go back home after the bad luck in the room has dissipated."
Lin Leyou, "Come find me secretly at night when no one's around?"
Xue Rui, "Brother Lin, what do you think?"
Lin Leyou said, "I have no objection, but I'm afraid they won't let you stay outside so easily. They'll try to persuade you to go home all night."
Xue Rui said, "It's okay, I won't listen. The more anxious and impatient they are, the more it shows there's a problem, and it also proves that our decision is correct."
Lin Leyou nodded, "That's true. It seems your family situation isn't going to be easy to get through. Remember to be careful, and if there are any problems, feel free to contact me."
Xue Rui obediently agreed, "Okay."
After making the decision, Xue Rui will continue to stay with Lin Leyou until they return. He might be seen by others, but now that all the participants in the instance have been identified, there's nothing to hide.
In the afternoon, they didn't go anywhere else. They stayed at home and observed Luo Qingzhou and Niu Xiaohua through the mechanical spider, finding that the two were still the same as always.
Luo Qingzhou patiently taught Niu Xiaohua the steps for the wedding ceremony at dusk, even though Niu Xiaohua couldn't understand no matter how he taught her.
Xue Rui said, "His body is too stiff, and he will give himself away as soon as he opens his mouth."
Niu Xiaohua's speech is still not very fluent. She has to break up sentences with more than five words, let alone perform the wedding ceremony. She probably only went out once at noon and that was her limit.
Lin Leyou said, "There are still several hours until dusk, maybe it will work."
Xue Rui, "Who's going to shout 'bowing to heaven and earth' or something like that later?"
Lin Leyou was taken aback. "Could it be the head chef?"
Xue Rui: "The head chef? I think it might be Brother Lin."
Lin Leyou, "Do you think Luo Qingzhou will choose me?"
Xue Rui: "Yes, because Brother Lin was the only one who gave a gift."
Lin Leyou: "Could this be related to this?"
Xue Rui, "Maybe there's a connection?"
In any case, nothing unexpected happened on Luo Qingzhou's side that afternoon, and they didn't actually wait until dusk to go; they arrived an hour early.
Once we arrive, we'll need to work with the chefs to set up the wedding ceremony venue later.
Luo Qingzhou came out when everything was almost done. She was very happy to see the decorations outside. "It's almost done. We can have the wedding ceremony soon. Then I can be with Xiaohua for the rest of my life."
Looking at Luo Qingzhou's seemingly deranged expression, Lin Leyou suddenly had a thought: Could it be...?
Xue Rui noticed Lin Leyou's expression immediately and stood quietly beside him. "Brother Lin?"
Lin Leyou winked at him, then looked at Luo Qingzhou. At this moment, Luo Qingzhou greeted everyone and returned to the back, telling them to eat, drink, and have fun in the side hall outside while they waited.
The chef and his assistant were still busy in the kitchen, preparing for dinner. The aroma was so enticing that it made their mouths water.
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui went outside together, each taking some snacks. Zhao Changzhou wanted to follow, but then thought that they were going to have something to say to each other, so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to go with them.
He stayed indoors and chatted with the two women to see if he could get any useful information out of them. If not, so be it; if he did, he wouldn't lose anything.
Lin Leyou looked around, and although he didn't see anyone, he cautiously took out his phone and sent a message to Xue Rui, "Do you have any ideas?"
Xue Rui looked at his phone, puzzled. "What are you thinking?"
Lin Leyou: "Luo Qingzhou seemed a bit off just now."
Xue Rui said, "He's always been acting strangely."
After sending that message, Xue Rui was stunned for a moment. Yes, Luo Qingzhou had always been strange, or rather, strange from the very beginning.
But it's strange that they never suspected Luo Qingzhou.
Xue Rui, "Brother Lin, you don't mean..."
Lin Leyou glanced at him, her fingers still typing as she continued sending messages, "You realized it too?"
I hadn't thought about it that way before, so I didn't think it was wrong, but once I had the idea, it was really hard to stop. "Brother Lin, then you tell me..."
Lin Leyou, "Is it because you think women are more eerie, able to come back to life, that you think she's an evil spirit?"
Xue Rui: "Yes, because there were more suspicious people around, we overlooked Luo Qingzhou, but now that we think about it carefully, it seems that Luo Qingzhou has always been the more suspicious one."
Lin Leyou said, "He killed Niu Xiaohua, and then Niu Xiaohua came back to life. Could it be that Niu Xiaohua was not a demon who came back to life, but rather that Luo Qingzhou was a demon who turned Niu Xiaohua into a living dead so that she could continue to move?"
Xue Rui said, "From the time Niu Xiaohua was resurrected until now, Luo Qingzhou has been patiently teaching her what to do."
Lin Leyou: "Why didn't I think of something so obvious before?"
Xue Rui: "Brother Lin, want to give it a try?"
The two stopped typing, looked into each other's eyes, and both saw agreement.
They submitted the mission together, and Luo Qingzhou was one of the evil spirits hiding in Jingu Village.
The result was... mission accomplished!
Lin Leyou received his fifth task: "System prompt: Please stop Luo Qingzhou and Niu Xiaohua from getting married."
After learning about the updated mission details, he looked at Xue Rui, who then sent him a message.
Lin Leyou said, "Me too."
Xue Rui let out a long sigh of relief. "It was so fast-paced. If we hadn't figured out his identity, in another hour... no, in another forty minutes, they would have successfully completed their wedding ceremony, and then..."
Lin Leyou: "Then we don't know what will happen, but there will definitely be bad consequences, so what do we do now to stop them?"
Xue Rui sent a message, "Hide Niu Xiaohua?"
Lin Leyou said, "This is not advisable. Luo Qingzhou turned Niu Xiaohua into a living dead, so he will most likely have some thoughts about her position. Moreover, Niu Xiaohua is currently exhibiting some reflexive reactions, all of which are related to Luo Qingzhou. Hiding her will expose her soon."
Xue Rui: "Then let's just destroy this place."
Lin Leyou: "Place? You mean this house?"
Xue Rui, "What do you think?"
Lin Leyou said, "That's fine, but to be on the safe side, let's destroy the bride as well. Otherwise, even if the house is gone, as long as the person is still alive, the wedding ceremony can still continue."
Xue Rui: "That's quite possible."
Time passed second by second, and they all looked at the setting sun on the horizon. The sky had been dyed blood red by the sunset, which looked quite ominous.
