Chapter 86 Grandpa Lai De
Did you teach that annoying thing a lesson?
After a moment's thought, Jiang Liyue guessed that it must be related to the man she had kicked unconscious in the yard.
After all, the thing that made him so happy was most likely related to her.
Given Feng Xuan's possessiveness, the thing he dislikes is most likely the man she has just been in contact with.
However, Jiang Liyue didn't have any particular thoughts.
Could it be that she's going to develop a bad impression of her handsome but weird husband because of a greasy guy?
Are you crazy? Anyone would know how to choose.
Jiang Liyue didn't seem to care about Feng Xuan's intentions, letting him hum and rub his wrist repeatedly.
She strolled leisurely along the village road, casually popping a piece of candy she had received from Li Xueer into her mouth.
My mouth was immediately filled with a sweet taste.
The ancestral hall is located on the edge of the paper doll village, with no other buildings around it.
Only after walking a certain distance will you gradually see houses made of mud and bricks.
At this time of year, the paper doll village has already begun to bustle with activity.
Compared to yesterday, the villagers seemed exceptionally enthusiastic today.
As Jiang Liyue approached, she saw two female players being invited home by villagers for dinner.
"Guests who have come from afar are all guests, so of course we should treat them well. We have plenty of food at home."
The villager who was speaking had rosy cheeks, was simply dressed, and spoke with exceptional enthusiasm.
They were no different from the simple and hospitable villagers.
—If these villagers weren't paper figures.
The two female players looked a little hesitant and conflicted.
Jiang Liyue originally wanted to give a warning, but the two female players immediately showed a wary expression when they saw her.
As if worried that she might try to steal some important clue from them, they quickly followed the villagers into the courtyard.
In this situation, Jiang Liyue certainly couldn't chase after them and persuade them to come out.
The main theme is respecting the fate of others.
Just by turning her head, Jiang Liyue saw the neighbor of the villager from earlier staring regretfully in the direction the two female players had gone.
His eyes were filled with greed and resentment.
Upon discovering Jiang Liyue's presence, a smile returned to his face.
Just as he was about to approach and invite her, he seemed to sense a terrifying force and knelt down in front of Jiang Liyue.
It makes a thud sound.
Jiang Liyue: ? Why did I suddenly kneel down?
She had some doubts: could the story of tearing up the paper figure the night before last have spread throughout the whole village?
Hahahahaha
[Yueyue asks, am I really that scary?]
[She knelt down like that, so fresh and beautiful.]
Before Jiang Liyue could figure out what was happening, the villagers had already gotten up from the ground.
His face showed a flustered yet respectful expression, which looked worse than crying.
"Miss, would you like to come to my house for dinner?"
His expression suggested that he was reluctant for her to eat, but had no choice but to invite her.
Don't you dare come and eat here, Dad!
No, he's a living Yama.
Jiang Liyue's lips twitched: "No need."
Upon hearing this, the villager seemed to have been granted a pardon and turned to run into the house, afraid that Jiang Liyue would call him back if he was even a step too late.
"My wife is so smart," Feng Xuan's voice rang out. "Don't go to their house for dinner. The paper doll's invitation is nothing but trouble."
Jiang Liyue seemed to understand something: "Did you scare him just now?"
"I didn't do anything," Feng Xuan said innocently.
He didn't actually do anything; he just released a little bit of pressure, which was enough to terrify the paper figures.
Jiang Liyue didn't believe it.
However, he didn't expose him, but simply continued walking towards the end of the village.
As for what the two female players invited by the villagers would experience, that was no longer within her consideration.
Zhu Zhu and Xiao Lei are two inexperienced new players.
The two women knew each other in real life, and they were lucky enough to be assigned to the same instance.
The two were extremely excited and, after discussing it, decided not to trust any other players in the instance.
Yesterday's search for clues yielded no results, but today they finally met a villager who invited them to join them.
I was still hesitant, but when I saw other players appear, I was worried that someone else would find the clues first, so I immediately accepted the villager's invitation.
After being invited into the villager's house, Zhu Zhu and Xiao Lei began to feel a little scared.
The room was dark, with only a white lantern lit above the table in the middle.
Beneath the lantern, a pale-skinned old man sat at the dining table, his dark eyes staring at them.
The villagers who invited them in had particularly strange expressions under the lighting.
He was holding two bowls of white rice, each with an incense stick stuck in it.
Seeing them looking over, the villager smiled and said, "The food is here. Sit down and get ready to eat."
Zhu Zhu and Xiao Lei held hands and immediately tried to run, but their feet seemed to be frozen in place.
The villagers brought their food to the table and warmly invited, "Come and sit down!"
The two then walked stiffly to the dining table and sat down. In front of them was a bowl of white rice with a long incense stick stuck in it.
"Eat up, eat up."
The two exchanged a glance, their hearts pounding, but out of their cautious nature, they were forced to each eat a mouthful of white rice.
The villagers looked satisfied upon seeing this.
Jiang Liyue was unaware of what had happened at the villager's house, and she quickly arrived at the end of the village.
She wanted to go and find that blind old man again.
After confirming yesterday that everyone in the paper doll village was a paper doll, she remembered something.
Although this place is called Paper Doll Village, the village is full of paper dolls, and every household has paper lanterns and paper flowers at their door.
However, apart from the blind old man, Jiang Liyue did not find any other villagers making paper effigies.
There are also countless paper figures without eyes in the old man's house.
Jiang Liyue had watched many horror movies in her past life and had even acted in some herself. She knew a story about paper dolls.
Paper figures should not have eyes drawn on them, otherwise they are easily possessed by wandering ghosts.
Therefore, the paper figures in the blind old man's house did not have eyes drawn on them, but all the paper figures in the ancestral hall courtyard had pitch-black eyes.
This blind old man must have more clues.
Jiang Liyue made a bold guess in her heart.
As the only person in the Paper Doll Village who knows how to make paper dolls, he may also be the only living person in the Paper Doll Village!
If he were still alive, he would definitely know what happened to the Paper Doll Village that led to its current state.
Unfortunately, when Jiang Liyue arrived at the blind old man's house, she found that his door was still tightly closed.
A pile of materials for making paper figures was neatly stacked under the eaves.
There was also a perfectly intact paper figure. Jiang Liyue discovered that it was actually the half-finished product she had made yesterday, only the blind old man had completed the remaining steps.
An ominous premonition rose in her heart.
"Sister, what are you looking at?" came Xiao Le's voice from behind.
Xiao Yi was standing beside her, and the two of them looked up at her curiously.
Their homes were nearby, so it was normal for them to run into Jiang Liyue.
"Are you looking at Grandpa De's house? It seems he went out of the village last night." Xiao Yi obediently pointed out the village.
Jiang Liyue recalled the fog surrounding the paper doll village and made a guess.
"Xiao Yi, you call him Grandpa Lai De?"
If I remember correctly, there was no memorial tablet placed on the table in the ancestral hall yet, and the name was Liu Laide.
