Qiao Xi frowned slightly and visited several more houses, but got the same result.
That's strange.
Aren’t these people priestesses?
Judging from their identity information, they are also from this village. Why do they react so strongly to the three words "Xu Jiajia"?
Qiao Xi visited for the entire afternoon but could hardly find out anything.
Not far away, the old lady who had made paper lanterns was walking home with a pile of paper in her arms, cursing.
The villagers nearby looked at her, spitted at her in an unlucky way, and kept their distance from her.
Josh frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and decided to go forward and ask.
"Grandma, do you know Xu Jiajia?" She stopped the person.
The old lady was holding a pile of paper rolls in her arms. Judging from the material, they should be used to make human-shaped lanterns. She was not sure whether those haunted lanterns had anything to do with her.
The old lady looked at her strangely, and her ferocious cat eyes rolled around as if looking for a direction. Her two eyeballs moved separately like two conscious insects. It took a long time for them to find the direction and all their eyes fell on Qiao Xi.
Josh: “…”
The old lady let out a strange gurgling laugh from her throat: "Looking for Xu Jiajia?"
Josh's eyes lit up: "Yes! Grandma, do you know her? Where are her family?"
The old lady laughed strangely, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes: "You asked others, did anyone tell you?"
Josh shook his head: "No."
The old lady laughed even louder: "Idiot! Come with me."
Josh didn't mind being scolded: "Okay."
She followed the old lady home and offered her hand to help carry things.
The old lady didn't stop her and simply threw all the things to her to carry.
After entering the house, the first thing the old lady did was to close the door. She turned her head and looked at Qiao Xi in the house, with a ferocious smile in her eyes: "Little girl, you are quite courageous. You really dare to come back with me."
In the room, all the various human-shaped lanterns placed around gathered in Josh's direction, with red lights flashing in their eyes.
The old lady smiled grimly, showing her sharp teeth, like the teeth of some animal.
Her smile became more and more hideous, and her face was pulled into strange angles because of her exaggerated and distorted expression.
Josh only took a slight step back, and the old lady rushed forward with all the lanterns.
"Don't even think about running away this time!"

Yu Ze took Zhang Qingqing's name to ask the people who worked with him in the ancestral hall, and those people looked at him with strange eyes.
He couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly: "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
Yuntian looked at him worriedly: "Are you confused because of the fever? Okay, stop asking, and get to work. I'll take you somewhere after you're done."
Yuze raised his eyebrows slightly: "Where are you going?"
Yuntian couldn't help but chuckle: "Come to my house for dinner, Xia Xia and I are going to get married."
They were caught having an affair by Yuexi that night, but in the end Yuexi did not punish them. She just removed Xia Xia's name and let her go home.
Originally, Xia Xia went to choose the saint just out of spite.
This actually fulfilled their wish.
Yu Ze thought about it and nodded: "Okay."
But what he didn't expect was that what was waiting for him was a Hongmen Banquet.
Not only Xia Xia and Yun Tian were eating at the table, but also Yun Tian’s sister, Yun Bing.
He looks quite old.
Yuntian enthusiastically pushed Yunbing and Yuze to sit together, and he almost had "I want to bring you together" carved on his face.
The corners of Yu Ze's mouth twitched slightly, but he endured it.
Yun Bing is probably in his early 30s, with a stocky build. He looks like someone who works regularly, and he also has decent facial features.
Yuntian smiled and said, "You two look like a couple sitting together. I might have thought you were a couple."
Yun Bing laughed heartily: "What are you talking about, brother? The little boy should be shy now."
Yu Ze smiled slightly and lowered his head to eat.
The group ate and drank a little, then quickly got down to business.
Xia Xia winked at the two of them and smiled at Yu Ze: "You are so handsome, you are the most handsome in our village, why didn't I notice it before!"
Yuze smiled and said, "It just grew up. Sorry."
Xia Xia choked for a moment, but still smiled and brushed it off, saying, "It just so happens that you haven't married yet, and my sister hasn't married yet either. Isn't it a coincidence that you're seeing this?"
Yuntian disliked her for being too straightforward, and secretly glared at her, then smiled and said, "Xiao Ze, you don't know, with my sister's conditions, it's actually very easy for her to find a partner, but because she has been busy with her career over the years, she has been delayed until now."
Xia Xia also nodded quickly: "You don't know, our Bingbing owns a shop, a field, and a homestay in the tourist area in front!"
Yun Bing smiled and waved her hands: "No, no, it's just a small business, making a few million every year."
"Oh my!" Xia Xia shook her head in amazement. "That's amazing! In our village, making millions a year is no joke!"
Yun Bing glanced at Yu Ze, her eyes full of envy for his appearance, and said with a smile: "As for me, I have indeed reached the age to get married. But I am getting older, and after getting married, I will have to have children right away."
She looked at Yu Ze jokingly and said, "It would be great if you marry me, but you may not be able to continue working in the ancestral hall. I will give you 1,000 yuan pocket money every month. When I have a baby, you will stay at home to take care of it for me. We will try to have two children in three years."
"I give you so much pocket money every month, so you must be filial to my parents. You have to do the laundry, cook and serve them every day, and clean the house every day. You know, my status is very prestigious in the village, so I have to keep my house clean and bright to have face."
"Also, my parents' taste for food is different from mine, so it would be best if you could make two servings, one for my taste and one for my parents' taste."
"They are old and their ideas are different from ours. I definitely can't let them take care of the children, so I think you should take care of all the children. You can work in the ancestral hall, so you must have some education, right? At least junior high school education or above, so that you can teach the children to read. If not, then you should learn these things as soon as possible."
"Also, I'm a bit picky because I'm still unmarried at this late age. You must know that, so you'd better go to the county town every month to buy some clothes, work out, and take care of yourself. Only when you dress up well will I have face."
"1,000 yuan a month is definitely enough for you, right? Although the starting salary for college students outside is 3,000 to 4,000 yuan, I will provide you with food and accommodation, so you won't spend that much money."
"After deducting the household expenses and your own upkeep, clothing, and childcare expenses from the 1,000 yuan, you can save whatever is left. You don't have to pay it back to me. Just consider it your own private money!"
