Yue Jiuyue wanted to say that she only wanted Lin Chaobei to be more manly, and she absolutely did not mean to pressure him into marriage.
But she herself felt that what she said sounded like she was pressuring someone to get married, so she had no choice but to shut up.
One slip of the tongue is enough; she doesn't want to do it a second time, after all, she knows how annoying it is to pressure someone into marriage.
Lin Chaobei, on the other hand, who was being pressured to get married, didn't pay any attention to what Yue Jiuyue was saying. He just mumbled some "uh-huh" and "ah-ah" in agreement. When Yue Jiuyue stopped talking, he continued to chatter on and on about all the gossip he knew.
Yue Jiuyue: (￣ｏ￣)
Okay, she was just overthinking it.
By the time we reached Shanghe Village, the sun was almost directly overhead.
This was right at lunchtime; in the past, Yue Wu would have given him a severe scolding.
"Huh? Mother, why hasn't the wheat been harvested in this village yet? Look, those wheat plants still have ears of grain!"
Lin Chaobei suddenly pointed at the wheat in the fields belonging to Shanghe Village and shouted loudly.
Lin Chaonan quickened his pace, plucked a few stalks of dried wheat, rubbed them together as he walked back, and then said to Yue Jiuyue and Lin Chaobei:
"These wheat ears are all shriveled, full of empty grains."
Yue Jiuyue took it and rubbed it a couple of times, just like Lin Chaonan. The wheat inside the ears was dry and all shriveled, unlike the wheat that her family harvested, which, although not plump, was still oval-shaped.
"Has something happened in Shanghe Village?"
Lin Chaonan was extremely worried.
"Let's go, let's go check it out quickly, just in case something really happened. Here, everyone tie one on and cover your mouth and nose."
Yue Jiuyue pretended to take out three handkerchiefs from her sleeve pocket, one for each person.
"Mother, I'll take care of it for you!"
Lin Chaobei tied the belt for Yue Jiuyue, then tied it for himself, and followed behind Yue Jiuyue, walking quickly towards Shanghe Village.
Lin Chaonan: (??)
Is he really that insignificant?
Lin Chaonan sighed, and could only tuck the cloth bag under his arm, quickly tie the handkerchief, and then he hurried after him.
At this time of day, no one in the fields could understand, after all, it was midday in June, hot, and it was lunchtime.
But there was no one at the village entrance or in the alleys. There were no gossipy old women gathered in groups, no children running around, no smoke coming from the chimneys of any of the houses, and no sound of people talking coming from any of them...
This is very abnormal.
It's as if there isn't a single living person or thing in the entire village; it's a ghost village...
This idea immediately brought to mind movies about villages for Yue Jiuyue, who had watched countless horror films, such as "The Haunted Village," "The Corpse in S Village," "F Gate Village," and "No. 81, J City"...
Yue Jiuyue couldn't help but shudder, her heart pounding wildly. She felt terrified at the sight of everything, as if some ghost might suddenly appear out of nowhere.
You have to understand that she herself is an example of a paranormal event. It would be fine to make her maintain a materialistic mindset normally, but it's impossible now.
"Mother, this village seems rather strange."
Lin Chaobei felt that Shanghe Village was a bit strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong. He was so frustrated that he almost scratched the back of his head raw.
"Let's go, let's go to your grandma's house and see what's going on."
Yue Jiuyue gripped Lin Chaobei's sleeve tightly, her legs moving rapidly.
