Chapter 136 Don’t Go Out at Night

The old village chief took it without refusing and put the money into his pocket, as if he didn't care about the money at all.

On the contrary, Xu Moyan, who gave the money, felt quite embarrassed.

They had consumed so much energy at noon that they ate up all the food in the village chief's house. Now they were only given 500 yuan, and they felt like they owed someone something.

Lin Xiyue's eyes flashed. Just as she guessed, the village chief really didn't care about the amount of money.

When they arrived at the backyard, the old village chief arranged three rooms for them.

Lin Xiyue, a girl, stayed in a room alone, Lin Zhenxing and Brother Lin stayed in a room, and Xu Moyan and the driver stayed in a room.

Lin Xiyue chose the room in the middle so that she could find out immediately if anything happened in the two adjacent rooms.

There was no discussion about the room selection; everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding and reserved the middle room for her.

Lin Zhenxing and the others thought that if anything happened to Xiaomei, they would be able to discover it immediately. However, Xu Moyan felt that he would only feel safe when Master Lin was by his side.

After all, this backyard room also feels weird.

The threshold was very high, and Xu Moyan almost fell down when he entered.

The design of the room was even stranger. There was a very small window that didn't let any light in. It was pitch black once you entered, and you couldn't see the road unless you turned on the light.

As soon as the village chief left, Xu Moyan couldn't help but complain, "This house is so strangely built. The windows are small, but the door sill is so high in such a dark place. Are they afraid that someone might die if they fall?"

As Xu Moyan spoke, he touched the threshold and said, "There are actually patterns carved on it. It's quite delicate. Is it some kind of antique?"

Brother Lin also came forward and squatted beside him. "I heard that in the past, every household in the village had a threshold. It seems that there were more ghosts and monsters in the mountains at that time. In order to prevent these things, the villagers would raise the threshold of their homes. The higher the threshold, the more evil the thing to be prevented is."

"Could it be that those ghosts didn't even bother to lift their feet and were trapped by a threshold?" Xu Moyan found this statement a little funny.

"I think they built these thresholds because this place is at the bottom of a hill and when it rains a lot, water will easily accumulate and flow back into the house, so they built such high thresholds."

After Xu Moyan finished speaking, he stood up and brushed the dust off his hands. At this time, the driver who came with him had already cleaned his room.

"Don't talk nonsense. This threshold is used to save your life." A familiar female voice sounded. As soon as Xu Moyan saw the person coming, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

"Second sister!" he shouted and ran towards the girl.

A Duo immediately made a blocking gesture and looked at him defensively.

"Don't come over here! I'm not your second sister. My name is A Duo."

Seeing her defensive look, Xu Moyan finally stopped.

"What are you talking about, sister? Don't you remember me?"

Seeing that the handsome guy in front of her, who was over 1.80 meters tall, seemed to not understand what she was saying, A Duo felt a little headache.

He has a pretty face, but a dull brain.

"I'll say it again, I'm not your sister, I'm Aduo, the village chief's daughter."

She repeated it again patiently.

"You are my second sister. You have a red mole behind your left ear. It was there when you were born. How could I have mistaken you?"

Upon hearing this, A Duo subconsciously touched her left ear and really felt a bulge.

There was some confusion on her face for a moment, but she soon seemed to regain her composure.

"I said I wasn't."

If she was really her sister, why didn't she have any impression of her at all?

It's just a coincidence.

Seeing that the handsome young man opposite her didn't listen to anything he said, she turned her gaze to other people.

"This threshold is not for waterproofing, but for saving lives. Don't go out after dark. If someone knocks on the door at night, don't answer them. If the threshold is accidentally damaged, you must repair it before dark."

The girl named Aduo turned around and left after saying this.

Everyone was confused by her words, and their eyes all turned to Lin Xiyue.

Along the way, Lin Xiyue didn't say much, and didn't even give them any unnecessary instructions.

But her presence is like a reassurance to the team.

"Let's clean up the room first and look at other things in the evening."

After Lin Xiyue finished speaking, she walked into her room first.

The furnishings in the room were very simple. In the corner of the wall was a simple wooden bed with two old quilts on it. Next to the bed was a small table and opposite it was a wooden cabinet.

There was not even a stool in the whole room.

Lin Xiyue wiped the bed casually, spread the quilt on it, and put her bag on the bed.

Just as she had done all this, someone knocked on the door. She opened it and saw everyone standing at her door.

Lin Xiyue took a quick look before entering the room and found that the layouts of the rooms were similar.

There were no chairs in the room, so everyone had to stand, which looked a bit strange.

Xu Moyan spoke first, "Master Lin, what should we do now? The village chief said they have all left, but it is clear that my second sister was left here, and she doesn't even recognize me."

Although Xu Qianqian's dress had changed a lot from her previous fashionable lady, Lin Xiyue could still recognize her; it was indeed her.

"She looks like she has lost her memory." Lin Xiyue also frowned slightly. This village looks very peaceful, but since entering the village, her perception seems to be blocked by something.

The third eye, which had never awakened, did not react at all at this time.

It seemed as if something was suppressing her spiritual power, making her like an ordinary person.

She took out some talismans and gave two to each person.

"These are two offensive talismans. If you encounter something wrong, just throw them out. They can help you resolve the crisis."

When several people heard her say this, they immediately put away the talisman paper.

"So what should we do now?" Xu Moyan asked anxiously.

"wait."

After she said this, she looked at everyone again, still feeling a little worried.

After all, even she couldn't predict what would happen next.

Although her spiritual power is now suppressed and she can hardly use it, she still has ways to protect herself.

But others.

"You two should just stay together tonight. Don't stay separately. Just stay in one room."

Hearing Lin Xiyue say this, Lin Zhenxing immediately jumped out with a snakeskin bag in his hand, "Xixi, I'm with you!"

Last time at the Xu family’s house, when the situation was so bizarre and dangerous, he had always stood behind his daughter, and it was the same this time.

Lin Xiyue shook her head and said, "The situation is unclear now. The best way is for me to act alone. You just need to protect yourselves."

After hearing Lin Xiyue's words, the driver and Xu Moyan quickly moved the bed from one room to another room.

After a few people packed up, the village chief came to call them to have dinner.
