Chapter 273: Strange Village Survival Guide 8

Ten minutes later, Mingnan accepted the reality.

There is no point in not accepting it, after all, it has already happened.

Optimistically speaking, Jiang Man is the only one who can hear it in this world.

205 asked cautiously: [Host, are you okay? ]

Mingnan smiled and said, "Get lost."

205: [Okay.]

Jiang Man had been looking at Ming Nan. Seeing her walking towards him, he thought that she probably didn't mind the mind reading, so he took the initiative to walk over to her and asked, "Can we talk now?"

Mingnan nodded, stood by the river, looked at the turbulent water and said, "I was just joking before. I won't really kill you, but you must keep it a secret. You must not let anyone else know about this."

Jiang Man nodded, "I'm not interested in spreading other people's secrets everywhere. Besides, no one would believe me if I told them, right? After all, I can only read your mind."

Mingnan was startled, turned to look at him, and couldn't help but sneered, "That's right."

"In comparison, I am more curious—" Jiang Man lowered his eyes.

Mingnan asked: "What?"

"Do you really have a red mole?"

Mingnan paused for a moment, then stretched out his right hand with his palm facing up, revealing his middle finger, which indeed had a small red mole on it.

Jiang Man stretched out his hand, and their fingertips touched each other, which looked like a mirror image at first glance.

The two moles are exactly the same in terms of position, size and color.

If it weren't for the mind-reading cheat, Jiang Man might have thought this was just an interesting coincidence, but now he felt that this might be some kind of mysterious connection that tied him and her together, so he could only hear her thoughts.

Mingnan looked at his drooping thick eyelashes and hooked his middle finger, "Seeing is believing. Do you believe it now?"

Jiang Man slowly withdrew his hand and responded softly.

“So, let’s be honest.”

He raised his eyes and looked directly at Mingnan.

Mingnan turned his head and looked back at the river. "Of course you can, but the secret cannot be revealed. I can only tell you a small part."

"I'm not reincarnated. If I have to say, even if I've traveled through time, I only know the plot that's relevant to me. I don't know anything else. I don't know how I died in my previous life or who killed me. So I have to find out the truth and keep living."

Jiang Man was puzzled, "You don't know?"

Mingnan spread his hands, "That person attacked from behind. I didn't see his face, but judging from his strength, he should be a man."

"Then the ending of my previous life was——"

"Dead. We found your body in the well one morning." Mingnan said bluntly, "In the end, only An Jiale and Yan Zhen were alive. But I don't know whether they escaped or not, because I was dead at that time."

Jiang Man fell silent after hearing this.

Mingnan sensed that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, and patted his shoulder with a smile, "It's okay, I will protect you in this life and will definitely not let you die."

Jiang Man looked at her slender arms and said nothing.

"Do you think everything we encountered was caused by humans or ghosts?"

"Maybe it's both." Mingnan looked into the distance, thoughtfully, "From what happened last night, it's not unreasonable to explain it as man-made, but there are still many doubts."

"Among the nine of us, is there any problem?"

Mingnan turned around suddenly and smiled, "You are quite sensitive."

Jiang Man raised his eyebrows slightly, "I thought you were complimenting me."

"Be more confident, handsome guy. I am indeed complimenting you. From the memories of my past life, Li Yiming is hot-tempered and easily angered. She bullies the weak and fears the strong. She and Zhang Yan are willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. Zhang Yan is a little smart, but not much; while Lin Jing is more introverted and taciturn. She is just a timid girl, but she is not a bad person."

Mingnan counted on his fingers one by one and said, "Gao Shuangbin is a simple-minded, sunny and cheerful boy. As for you, I didn't have much contact with you in my previous life and didn't know you very well, so I know very little about your story."

"Finally, there are An Jiale and Yan Zhen, the male and female protagonists. There's not much to say about them. They are kind but lack brains. Yan Zhen has a little bit of brains, but not much."

Jiang Man's eyes fixed, and she evaluated everyone, except for one person.

"Do you suspect Zhou Youhe?"

Zhou Youhe is Lao Zhou.

Mingnan snapped his fingers and gave him an admiring look, "Yes, he disappeared early in my previous life, and I never heard from him again until I died."

Jiang Man fell into deep thought.

From this perspective, Zhou Youhe is indeed highly suspicious.

They were all tourists who were unable to get on the bus due to heavy rain, and then Zhou Youhe showed up.

Zhou Youhe said that he had been driving here for many years, was very familiar with the surroundings, and had a local accent, so they got in his car.

Then they got into a car accident and had nowhere to go. They had to find a place to stay, and he suggested Luoyang Village.

Finally he disappeared and his whereabouts were unknown.

But is it possible that he is not dead at all, but just changed his identity and hid himself?

"Of course, I am just suspicious. Without other evidence, it is difficult to draw a conclusion now."

Mingnan shook his arms. "But don't trust anyone else except me, because they may not be the same anymore."

Jiang Man was still thinking about Luoyang Village. Hearing Mingnan's words, he couldn't help laughing, "So confident?"

"Of course, I'm the chosen one who holds the script and the system." Mingnan clenched his fist and raised it in front of him.

That proud and arrogant look was so vivid and lively that Jiang Man seemed to be bewitched and felt a sense of familiarity again. Along with it came an inexplicable joy that drove him to hold her hand.

When their skin touched, Mingnan's pupils trembled slightly and he looked at him in surprise.

[Is the progress so fast? ]

Jiang Man suddenly came back to his senses and realized what he had done. His blood rushed to his head and his face slowly turned red.

He pretended to be calm and let go of Mingnan's hand, then gently touched her fist with his, "Don't think I'm too weak, I'm actually quite good at fighting. If you need to take action, you can call me along. I can't say I can help you, but I won't hold you back."

【Oh no, I forgot he could hear it. 】

Mingnan looked at Jiang Man's flushed face and suddenly felt that this ability seemed quite...good.

At least they can communicate silently and flirt a little.

Jiang Man's face turned even redder.

He took his hand back and coughed softly, "Let's see if there is any signal first."

"Don't look at it, it won't happen."

Although Mingnan said this, he still took out his cell phone and checked. As expected, there was no signal.

The same goes for Jiang Man's phone.

"Then let's go back to the village and familiarize ourselves with the route. It might be useful when we escape in the future."

"Okay, let's go."

The two walked back, one in front and one behind.

Less than an hour had passed, and they thought there was no one under the big willow tree, but as soon as they approached, they saw Lao Zhou sitting there smoking.

Old Zhou faced them sideways, puffed hard on the cigarette holder, then slowly exhaled a large puff of smoke, his brows were heavy and irritable, and he looked like he had a lot on his mind.

Mingnan and Jiang Man looked at each other, and they exchanged a knowing look.

Jiang Man asked nonchalantly, "Old Zhou, why did you come back so soon?"
