Chapter 274: Strange Village Survival Guide 9

Lao Zhou was originally immersed in his own world, but suddenly he heard someone's voice and shuddered with fright. The cigarette that had already burned to the bottom burned his fingers. He hissed in pain, stood up quickly, threw away the cigarette butt, and stepped on it to crush it hard.

He rubbed his hands, turned around and looked at Mingnan and Jiang Man with a little embarrassment, "I feel like smoking, come and have a cigarette, why are you back? It's been less than an hour, right?"

Mingnan sighed, "Don't mention it. There is a river over there. We walked a long way along the river and searched for a long time but there was no signal. We were afraid of encountering danger if we walked any further, so we turned back."

"You're right to come back. This place is so remote. If something happens to you, we won't know about it. That would be troublesome."

Old Zhou pointed to the big rock under the tree and said, "Sit down."

Mingnan and Jiang Man didn't mind and sat down next to each other. Jiang Man asked casually, "How was your conversation with the villagers?"

Mingnan kept his eyes on Lao Zhou, observing his reaction.

Hearing Jiang Man's words, Lao Zhou subconsciously rubbed the seams of his pants and took out the cigarette box to smoke, but hesitated for a moment, pushed the cigarette box back, and played with the lighter instead, "They said that it rains non-stop here in July and August. I'm afraid it will rain heavily tonight and tomorrow, and if it rains heavily, the cars outside won't be able to get in."

He sighed and said in a complicated and incomprehensible tone: "I'm afraid we won't be able to leave for a while."

"It's really unfortunate. If I had known, I wouldn't have come here for tourism."

Mingnan picked up a willow leaf and twirled it around between his fingertips.

Old Zhou sneered, "Humans, there's no such thing as knowing in advance, it's all fate, fate."

Mingnan also laughed, "Yes, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven. We have no control over them at all."

Old Zhou paused and turned around.

Mingnan turned his head away first, pointed to the east and asked, "Hey? What's going on over there? Why are they hanging red cloth?"

Jiang Man also noticed it, "It should be that family has some happy event."

"Oh, that family." Lao Zhou said, "I just asked, and they said that the baby of that family is one month old, and they want to hold a banquet."

"That's really a happy event!" Mingnan was delighted on the surface, but in his heart he said to Jiang Man, "The village chief will invite us to have a drink later, and we'll have to find a way to refuse them when they try to persuade us to drink."

[In the last life, we were both drunk and fell asleep unconscious at night, and the next day you were soaking in the well. ]

Mingnan paused as he spoke, his expression changing uncontrollably.

Jiang Man noticed it and gently pressed his knee against her leg, looking at her inquiringly.

Lao Zhou muttered to himself, "I wonder if they will invite us..."

Mingnan lowered his head, [After we woke up in our previous life, Lin Jing and Zhang Yan said they had erotic dreams at night.]

Jiang Man was startled for a moment. After he reacted, his breathing became heavy and his hands slowly clenched. His joints and veins bulged, looking a little scary.

"You all are back. Did you find the signal?"

Yan Zhen and An Jiale came over from another direction and waved to them.

Mingnan calmed down the moment he looked up and patted Jiang Man's shoulder gently, "You must stay awake at night and don't go out casually. I'll find a chance to talk to Zhang Yan later."

Jiang Man nodded almost imperceptibly.

"No, what about you?"

Mingnan shouted to An Jiale.

An Jiale shook his head and said frustratedly: "No, there is not even a single signal."

"We don't have any either. What a lousy place this is."

Li Yiming interrupted impatiently.

Mingnan turned around, and he and Zhang Yan came back hand in hand. Zhang Yan's lips were still a little swollen, and she avoided looking at people.

It looks like they had a good exchange of feelings.

Mingnan was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so he didn't look at her any further and asked, "Where are Gao Shuangbin and Lin Jing? Why haven't they come back yet?"

Jiang Man looked at his watch and said, "It's almost one hour and twenty minutes."

"Is there any danger? Why don't we go look for him?" An Jiale suggested.

Yan Zhen asked: "Which road did they take just now?"

“Ahhhhh—”

The girl's sharp scream drowned out Yan Zhen's voice, and everyone's expression changed.

Jiang Man stood up and ran: "It's Lin Jing's voice!"

"Go and have a look!"

Mingnan followed closely behind.

Many people followed.

Li Yiming took a step back, hesitated for a moment, turned around and found that Lao Zhou had not moved, and asked in confusion: "Why don't you leave?"

Lao Zhou came back to his senses, "Ah, here I come."

A group of people ran in the direction of the sound, shouting as they ran: "Lin Jing——"

"Xiao Jing, where are you?"

"Gao Shuangbin!"

After a few minutes, Gao Shuangbin poked his head out from an intersection and waved vigorously, "Here!"

Everyone ran towards him immediately.

Jiang Man arrived first and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Lin Jing?"

Gao Shuangbin pointed toward the path.

When everyone looked up, they saw Lin Jing standing against the wall in a daze, as if he had been frightened and had not yet come to his senses.

Mingnan immediately stepped forward and called softly, "Don't be afraid, Lin Jing, we are here."

Lin Jing shuddered, turned his head sharply, met Mingnan's gaze, and murmured, "Mingnan?"

Mingnan nodded, "It's me."

Lin Jing hugged her and choked up, "I was scared to death."

"What's wrong?"

An Jiale ran over and found another person lying inside. He was shocked and exclaimed, "Ah!"

"Who is he?"

Gao Shuangbin shook his wrist and said in disgust, "He's a fool."

"Ah?" Li Yiming squeezed over and stretched his neck to look, "Could it be the idiot that Wu Fa and his wife were talking about?"

Zhang Yan held his arm and huddled back in fear, "Then why is he here? Is he...dead?"

Yan Zhen and Jiang Man approached. Jiang Man squatted down and sniffed the idiot's breath, and then he said, "He's still alive."

The fool had the same dark circles under his eyes as Li Yiming, and frowned seriously, "What's wrong with him?"

Everyone looked at Lin Jing, but Lin Jing just hugged Mingnan and cried, with no intention of speaking.

Gao Shuangbin said: "We just came back from here, and Lin Jing and I were talking, when suddenly someone jumped out from the ground next to us and hugged Lin Jing."

He gestured as he spoke, his face red with anger, "How could I just watch? I grabbed his collar and pried his hands apart, trying to get him to let go, but that idiot was quite strong, and after I finally pulled him apart, he dragged me down and knocked my hand on a rock, it hurt like hell."

Mingnan looked carefully and found that the back of his hand to his wrist was indeed red. No wonder he kept shaking his hands.

"And then you knocked him out?" Jiang Man asked.

Gao Shuangbin paused, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Ah, that idiot seemed to be insensitive to the pain, he got up and tried to hug Lin Jing again, but she punched him in the eye, and he took two steps back and fell on his butt, hitting his head on the tree trunk and fainted."

Everyone: “…”

Mingnan looked down at Lin Jing, touched her head and said, "Well done."

Lin Jing was stunned and gradually stopped crying.
