Chapter 43 Chapter 43 My heart skipped a beat

When Lin Yan and Rong Xu returned to the village, it was already completely dark. There were more zombies outside, and their movements were more flexible than during the day.

Most of the houses in the village had closed their doors. They passed by a woman who had been asking for water during the day. The woman had a layer of cloth wrapped around her head. When she saw them, she whispered, "Where have you been? Come in."

"It's dangerous outside."

Lin Yan had forgotten about this. At that time, in order to get information, he was afraid that they would have nowhere to go at night, so he suddenly suggested that they rest here for a night.

He wanted to refuse, but Rong Xu had already walked over.

Lin Yan didn't say anything, and followed him obediently.

"The room has been cleaned up, that one."

"Thank you." Lin Yan smiled and thanked. The woman shook her head: "Go to bed early. No matter what you hear, don't go out at night."

The simple room was cleaned very cleanly. Lin Yan thanked her again. The woman said that she had prepared food for them and limped to get it.

After the woman left, Rong Xu lowered his voice: "Do you think she is too enthusiastic?"

Lin Yan nodded: "Indeed."

Logically speaking, it is so dangerous outside. Even if he gave silver, it is not worth it for the woman to risk her life to wait for them to come back, clean the room, and prepare meals.

"In her consciousness, you drank that bowl of water before." Rong Xu said.

Although it is not much, it must have an effect on ordinary people.

"So, I will slowly turn into a zombie?" Lin Yan thought.

"You don't have to turn into a zombie if you drink less."

"And there's food." Lin Yan stared at the door: "According to the thinking of ordinary people, it's so dangerous outside. Even if there's weirdness everywhere in here, the food is blue. If you're extremely hungry, you'll eat a little."

Then he completely turned into a zombie.

The woman put the food on the table, and Lin Yan and Rong Xu looked at each other.

"Our water is blue, and the things we make are also blue. Don't mind, they're all home-cooked dishes."

After Lin Yan thanked her, he sent the woman out: "It's so late, you should go back and rest, we will take care of ourselves and will never cause you any trouble."

The woman was reluctant, as if she was unwilling not to see them eat the food.

After closing the door, Lin Yan looked at the things on the table and felt like vomiting.

"What should we do?"

Rong Xu waved his hand to extinguish the oil lamp: "Sleep."

"Ah?" Lin Yan was stunned for a moment. The master never slept. There was only one bed in the room. How could two people sleep?

Although... uh... they had slept together, it was for the purpose of double cultivation. Isn't it too ambiguous to lie on the same bed?

"You go inside." Rong Xu said.

[Really sleeping on the same bed! ]

Lin Yan blinked nervously in the dark, and his breathing became rapid.

Just as he was about to speak, Rong Xu sent a voice to his ears again: "There are people outside."

Lin Yan nodded, indicating that he understood, and climbed onto the bed in the dark. The room was not very dark, and he could see a little clearly. He lay on the hardwood bed, missing the soft bed in the cave.

There were five or six layers of soft quilts!

There was nothing on the wooden bed except a layer of dry straw and sheets, not even a pillow.

Lying flat on the bed, Lin Yan felt a bit like a fish on a sticky board.

Then it got dark beside him, and Rong Xu lay down beside him.

Lin Yan felt uncomfortable thinking about Rong Xu, who was usually so clean and spotless, lying on this broken and small bed with him.

He could do whatever he wanted, but his paper man must not be wronged!

Rong Xu's legs were half bent. This bed was indeed a bit small for two people, and not long enough, so his legs could not be straightened.

The room gradually became quiet, and the disordered breathing of each other could be heard. Rong Xu suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Yan's hand accurately.

Lin Yan exclaimed in a low voice: "Master, what are you doing?"

"You're not calling me brother anymore?" Rong Xu half turned his head.

The deliberately low voice was full of magnetism, and Lin Yan's ears blushed: "No one can hear it here."

"I can." Rong Xu said.

The two were too close, and his breath hit Lin Yan's face. There was nowhere to hide, and he remembered Rong Xu's words to remind him before.

Lin Yan calmed down his breath: "Master once said that disciples of the Hehuan Sect should not fall in love easily."

"Master... If you don't mean that, don't tease me all the time. I don't have that much resistance."

Rong Xu silently let go of his hand. Lin Yan put his hand on his abdomen, feeling empty in his heart.

The emptiness lasted only for a moment, and he quickly adjusted his mood. There was a faint sound from outside, and a small hole was poked in the window paper.

Lin Yan was just curious about what the people outside were going to do, Rong Xu suddenly rushed over and covered his mouth and nose.

The moment the two looked at each other, he heard Rong Xu's voice transmission: "It's a drug."

His heart skipped a beat.

Lin Yan wanted to say that he could do it, but in this situation, he couldn't say a word.

After the incense entered the room, the people outside waited for a long time, and a man's voice came: "Is this okay? You are too stupid. Why don't you watch them eat the food before coming out?"

The woman said: "These two people are different from the previous ones. They are smart and they still want to get words from me. The younger one drank two sips of water, and the older one didn't drink a single sip."

"The lights were off when I came out. I guess they didn't eat."

"It's okay. Wait until they fall asleep and then pour the water down. I'm not afraid they won't drink it." The man said.

As soon as the two finished speaking, the door of the room opened and their bodies were sucked in uncontrollably.

They wanted to shout, but no sound came out.

The only thing that could move was their heads.

They raised their heads, and there was no one in the room who had fainted as they imagined. Instead, a young man in purple was standing by the bed, and a man in white was sitting on the bed, with an indifferent and noble look, as if he was not in a thatched house, but a magnificent palace.

The two were so scared that their faces turned pale.

Lin Yan handed them two bottles of medicine: "Drink it."

"It's not poisonous, it's just to make you tell the truth."

The two hesitated for a moment, and wanted to smash the medicine in a frenzy, but they were controlled again. Not only did they fail to force others to drink water, but they were forced to drink medicine.

Truth serum has side effects. After drinking it, you will fall into a coma, and wake up with diarrhea and vomiting for a while. Lin Yan did not sympathize with them. These two people are habitual offenders at first glance, and they must have harmed many people in the past.

After drinking the medicine, the two people's expressions were stiff and they no longer resisted.

Rong Xu asked, "What do you do after turning people into zombies?"

"We send them to the ancestral temple."

"What happens next?"

"In the ancestral temple, we pray for the gods to look after them."

Rong Xu asked a few more questions, causing them to faint completely. Lin Yan frowned, "They do such unscrupulous things, and yet they still pray for the gods to look after them. Are the gods mentally ill? They must be crazy to look after them."

"Be careful with your words." Rong Xu glanced at him.

Lin Yan covered his mouth and nodded.

"Master, what should we do next?"

Rong Xu said, "Go to the ancestral hall."

"Do you know how to disguise yourself?"

Lin Yan shook her head, "I only know how to put on makeup."

"I'll teach you when we get back." Rong Xu said, and he changed himself into the man's appearance and changed Lin Yan into the woman's appearance, from head to toe, even the hair is exactly the same.

[This is much more convenient than my previous cosplay! ]

[Cao Cao Gai Fan]

If he learns the art of disguise, if he can go back one day, wouldn't he become a cosplay saint?

Rong Xu was thoughtful, what is Cao Cao Gai? Is

it the name of a dish? Is he hungry again after eating just now?

Lin Yan pretended to be the woman and limped out. Rong Xu, who was following behind him, also began to limp. Lin Yan couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Then he immediately covered his mouth: "I didn't mean it."

The Master's expression was so funny.

Although he looked unfamiliar, Lin Yan could imagine Rong Xu limping in his mind, pitiful and funny.

He knew that the Master was training him, training his thinking and ability to adapt to the environment, otherwise there would be no need to do this, and he would just kill him directly.

"I'm sorry, I'm wrong."

Lin Yan adhered to the truth that Rong Xu would not be angry as long as he apologized quickly, and every time he made a mistake, he slid to his knees at lightning speed.

The two walked outside. In addition to them, there were also scattered people walking on the street, heading towards the ancestral hall. They all had more or less problems with their legs and feet. It might be that they ate too much blue food and their lower limbs were stiff.

Lin Yan and Rong Xu were not noticeable in the crowd. Someone asked about what happened during the day and whether they had solved the problem with the two guys.

Lin Yan spoke, and his voice became like that of the woman: "I lit the incense and fell asleep."

"Did you give them water?" the man asked.

Lin Yan said: "Yes."

"Then you have to be careful. You have to lock the door. Don't let them run around. It will be difficult to catch them." The man said again.

Lin Yan nodded: "It's locked. Don't worry."

It turned out that the whole village was a group.

The two walked slower and slower. Lin Yan asked in a low voice: "Why did my accent change?"

He couldn't tell the stress of the dialect, but there was no difference in what he said just now.

Rong Xu said: "Talk less, listen more, and watch more."

"Got it." Lin Yan shrank back silently.

The ancestral hall is located in the center of the village. It is solemn and awe-inspiring. It looks particularly eerie in the dark night. There are black and yellow prayer flags hanging outside. It is unclear whether they are to drive away evil spirits or to attract them.

Lin Yan was a little scared. The wind was very cold. It was scarier than the escape room he had played in before.

He unconsciously grabbed Rong Xu's arm. To outsiders, the couple's behavior was normal.

They followed the crowd into the ancestral hall. It was already full of people, men, women, young and old. The youngest was a three-year-old child. He didn't cry or make a fuss. He stared blankly at the rows of tablets in the ancestral hall. He didn't have the liveliness and agility of other children.

Everyone's eyes became dull. Standing in the front was the clan leader. He lit three incense sticks and put them into the incense burner in a daze. Everyone knelt on the ground with him, chanting something that Lin Yan couldn't understand.

He pretended to chant along. After about half an incense stick, the clan leader stood up with everyone.

"Today, the immortal has given us a few more spirits. As usual, half of them will be offered to the immortal, and the rest will be shared by everyone."

The villagers cheered, but there was no joy in their voices. It became more and more strange. Just

when Lin Yan was curious about what a "spirit" was, a few strong men in the village tied up three or four people and walked to the front.

They looked more like zombies than people. They were obviously not fully infected yet, and there was fear in their eyes. They were the Yang family members that Lin Yan and Rong Xu met during the day.

"How were they caught?"

With their cultivation, they couldn't even resist ordinary humans?

Lin Yan was thinking, when one of the strong men took out an axe from the side of the ancestral hall and handed it to the patriarch respectfully.

The patriarch recited a few words piously, and then swung the axe. The sharp blade slashed across the man, spurting a lot of blood, staining the clothes of the patriarch and the people around him red.

The man was actually cut in half alive!
