Chapter 132 Chapter 132 Taolin Village
The already dark and narrow room suddenly looked even more cramped and crowded with three young and strong boys squeezing into it.
He Junxia symbolically dusted off his body.
Ning Siyuan hesitated and said, "Do we really want that? I feel like something bad will happen, and who knows what the material is."
Song Chengli also turned to look at He Junxia, hoping to get an accurate answer.
He is now the backbone of the two.
But to be honest, He Junxia didn't have any better solutions.
He is just an ordinary person, and his only advantage is that he knows a lot of basic logic of supernatural events from the posts published by high-level taskers.
What I said to the village chief's granddaughter on the mountain just now was just a guess, to gamble on a possibility.
As the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door.
While the literal meaning of this statement may not be entirely correct, it does have some truth to it. Generally speaking, there are a few possible reasons why ghosts are jealous of the living and are causing trouble.
First: Revenge
Including but not limited to killing someone and paying with one's life, saying something that makes ghosts unhappy, etc.
Second: Reincarnation
Third: Encountering an unreasonable murderous evil spirit.
The villagers of Taolin Village, or the mastermind behind this incident, clearly didn't fall into the first or third categories. After all, if they wanted revenge or just to prank someone, they could just scare them and kill them, not go to all that trouble and create all these illusions.
He Junxia even suspected that this Taolin Village was just an illusion created by the messenger behind the scenes.
This place is not too deep in the mountains or forests. If Taolin Village existed in reality, these illusions would not be so fake.
——The child’s hairstyle is similar to the pigtails of the Qing Dynasty. Although the adult’s hairstyle is not a pigtail, it is very similar to that of senior Liu Gaoge.
Moreover, they address public officials such as police officers as "officials". Even in the early days of the founding of China, the people did not often use this title.
From this, we can infer that if these villagers were ghosts in disguise, then they died at least during the Republic of China period.
The ghosts from before the Republic of China, their envy of the police for serving the people, and Senior Liu's "safe" return to school all made He Junxia guess that their purpose was related to the second one.
That's why he said those words to test Xiaotao, and some of Xiaotao's reactions also confirmed his guess to a certain extent.
Next, it depends on how the villagers react.
He Juanxia smiled and said, "If the food on the table is good, I'll try it. You two picky people should just recite the core values."
It wasn't that He Junxia was being naive, using the body of a wisher to sacrifice himself for others. As an official tasker of the Space-Time Administration, his soul strength had been greatly enhanced, and with the system's protection, ordinary ghosts really couldn't forcibly occupy his body.
Judging from the villagers' eagerness to feed them but not catching them to force-feed them, it is not difficult to see that they must be subject to some kind of restrictions, and naturally they are not that powerful.
A senior tasker of the disaster team once said that the ghost king-level evil spirits he encountered could even directly wipe out people's consciousness and forcibly occupy the bodies of living people without being detected as ghosts.
He Junxia reminded them again: "Courage is very important. If you lose your courage, you're finished. When you're scared, just think about the plane we saw this morning. It was so beautiful."
When talking about the outrageous "plane" they saw on the mountain, Ning Siyuan and Song Chengli's tense emotions eased a lot.
These things don't seem very smart, huh?
"Brother Jizhou, Brother Siyuan, Brother Chengli, are you all okay?"
The girl's crisp voice rang out outside the house, and He Junxia hurriedly replied, "It will be there soon, it will be there soon, please wait a moment."
He turned around and whispered to the two of them, "Have you remembered everything?"
Ning Siyuan and Song Chengli each silently recited the 24-character core values in their minds and nodded.
They will definitely not forget something that can save their lives at a critical moment.
After the two nodded, He Junxia reached out and opened the wooden door. Looking at the beautiful girl behind the door, he seemed to subconsciously straighten his clothes and temples.
He asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Sister Xiaotao, is this rude?" In fact, there was no difference from before the tidying.
The girl shook her head shyly: "All three brothers are polite."
He Junxia asked her mysteriously again: "What did your grandfather and others say? Can we build an inn in the village?"
The girl took several steps back in shock at his sudden action.
She shook her head repeatedly: "I don't know, it depends on what grandpa and other uncles think."
If there is no direct rejection, then there is room for discussion and it is not the worst case scenario.
He Junxia felt relieved and put his hands together pleadingly, "Sister Xiaotao, please help us speak well of us later. If it works, I promise to introduce you to a few more wealthy brothers and sisters to come here to play."
The girl looked away without answering.
He Junxia and the other two followed her to the dining area. The wooden table was filled with sumptuous dishes, including chicken, duck, and fish.
The old village chief, Grandpa Zhang, a kind fat uncle and a thin man at the main table warmly invited them to sit down.
He Junxia's expression tightened, and she looked at Ning Siyuan and Song Chengli with some concern, and immediately warned them, "I know you two have good intentions, but we are guests here now, so please be more cautious."
Song Chengli understood the elegant meaning by listening to the strings.
He looked at the pile of delicious meat dishes on the table, and a hot topic from a few years ago suddenly popped up in his mind.
He complained: "The chicks, ducks and fish are so cute, why do you eat them?"
He Junxia immediately slapped Song Chengli on the head.
He roared, "We're guests at someone else's house, and you're so mad! You won't eat chicken, duck, fish, or any meat at all. No wonder the doctor said you wouldn't live past 25."
Song Chengli was a little confused after being slapped, but after He Junxia finished scolding him, he reacted and immediately retorted: "They feel pain too, how pitiful! My parents told me since I was a child that I can't eat meat, it will damage my blessings."
"Anyway, I swore before the Buddha that I will never eat meat in my life!"
Song Chengli spoke in a powerful and resolute voice.
He Junxia slapped him again: "Just listen to what your parents say, they have agreed to sell you to that old man with a perverted fetish."
"I don't think you can even survive 23, let alone 25. Get out of here and stand still. If you don't want to eat, then starve. Don't eat even if you starve to death."
Without waiting for the villagers to persuade him, Song Chengli covered his mouth angrily and stood outside the yard with his back to them.
He Junxia looked at Ning Siyuan again and said in a bad tone: "What about you? You are the same as him. It's your old obsession with cleanliness that's come back. Didn't you eat deliciously yesterday?"
Ning Siyuan's muddled brain, which was trying hard to find an excuse, immediately found the right path after being reminded.
He imitated a mysophobia freak he had seen before, his eyes seemingly subtle but actually revealing obvious disdain. He curled his lips and said, "Brother Zhou, yesterday was an exception."
"I haven't showered all day. I feel so uncomfortable. How can I have the mood to eat? And...it's unsanitary. I haven't had it checked by the officials."
He Junxia raised her foot and shoved it forward: "You're still talking about hygiene at this time? What the hell are you talking about hygiene? Do you think you have to take a bath once a day, and each time you have to bathe for three hours?"
Ning Siyuan fell to the ground, staring at He Junxia with red eyes, and a light bulb suddenly flashed in his head: "You kicked me, you actually kicked me, if I didn't like you, would I come to this shabby place with you?"
"When you came here you said you loved me and wouldn't let me marry that shit-eating guy, and now you're kicking me for these junky things."
"Just wait, I'll marry him when I get back. If you want to eat shit, then eat shit. I'll make you regret it for the rest of your life."
