Chapter 277 Weird Village Survival Guide 12

Lao Zhou took the initiative to sit at the table next to him, saying that he wanted to leave the space for the young people.

So there were only eight of them left at the table.

The moment Mingnan sat down, his heart sank slightly.

According to the subsequent plot development, Lao Zhou really disappeared alone.

And his choice at this moment seemed like a hint from fate.

Sitting on her left and right were Lin Jing and An Jiale, on An Jiale's other side was Yan Zhen, next to Lin Jing were Gao Shuangbin and Jiang Man, and next to Yan Zhen were Li Yiming and Zhang Yan.

The order of death also corresponds exactly to the left and the right.

From Jiang Manqi——Zhang Yan——Li Yiming——Gao Shuangbin——Lin Jing——her.

Finally, only An Jiale and Yan Zhen were left sitting together.

Realizing this, Mingnan completely lost his appetite.

It is not scary to predict the future. What is scary is knowing what will happen in the future but being unable to change it.

Even she wasn't completely sure.

205: [Host, Jiang Man is watching you. ]

Mingnan was stunned, and instantly pulled himself out of his chaotic thoughts and looked across.

Jiang Man was indeed looking at her.

Seeing that she didn't seem to dodge, he just smiled at her gently, with a hint of encouragement.

Mingnan realized later that Jiang Man had the ability to read minds in a targeted manner, and he must have heard what she had just thought.

Thinking of this, she felt inexplicably relieved.

Having someone to share secrets with her feels... not bad.

It was not yet time for the meal and there was no dish on the table, so they could only sit and wait.

Fortunately, the village chief arrived soon, bringing with him a dark and strong man in his thirties.

"Come, let me introduce you to everyone. This is Liu Zhuang, the owner of this house."

Everyone immediately greeted each other with a smile.

When Liu Zhuang smiled, his two fangs were exposed. Looking silly, he brought two fruit plates and put them down, one plate filled with melon seeds and the other with candies.

"Thank you all for coming to my son's full-month celebration. I'm very happy today. Don't be shy and enjoy your meal."

"Thank you. I wish your son good health and a bright future."

An Jiale cupped his hands.

Liu Zhuang's brows immediately lit up, "Thank you, thank you, you city people really know how to talk."

Others also sent their blessings, and Liu Zhuang kept a smile on his face the whole time, showing that he was truly happy.

Mingnan pretended to be curious and asked, "I wonder if we can see the child? If he looks like Brother Liu, he must be very cute, right?"

Liu Zhuang paused, his expression becoming unnatural for a moment.

"Ah, the mother is holding the child. I'll take him out and show him to everyone later."

"That's too much trouble. Let's go inside and check."

The village chief frowned and said, "No, no, she is in confinement after childbirth. Don't rush over to her."

Liu Zhuang agreed, "Yes, my wife doesn't like to meet outsiders. Sorry, someone is looking for me over there. I'll go over first and we'll talk later."

Having said this, he left in a hurry.

Ming Nan asked hesitantly, "Ah, did I say something wrong?"

"It's okay. You don't have any bad intentions. It's just that Liu's daughter-in-law is a bit of a loner. She doesn't like to interact with people, especially strangers. If you go in like this, it will cause trouble. It will be a shame on such a happy day."

The village chief spoke with the tone of an experienced person. Mingnan felt more and more "guilty" after hearing this. She lowered her eyes and said, "Is that so? Forget it then."

"Eat some melon seeds first to sharpen your teeth. The banquet will be served soon. I'll go and help with the preparations." The village chief grabbed a handful of melon seeds and ate them as he walked.

As soon as the person left, Li Yiming immediately grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave some to Zhang Yan, and the two of them started to crunch them.

Seeing how enthusiastically they were eating, An Jiale also grabbed a handful and asked Mingnan and Lin Jing if they wanted some.

Mingnan shook his head and Lin Jing also refused.

An Jiale was a little disappointed, "You guys don't like to eat it?"

Yan Zhen said, "Help me get some, thank you."

"good."

An Jiale immediately grabbed a handful and put it in his palm.

Mingnan held his chin with one hand and said in a bored tone, "It's not that I don't like to eat, it's just that I get thirsty if I eat too much."

"Just drink water if you're thirsty." Gao Shuangbin was puzzled.

"The problem is there's no water." Jiang Man glanced at him.

"If there's no water, isn't there still wine?"

Mingnan said, "Alcohol is bad for your health. What if you get drunk and pass out? I suggest that everyone should not drink. In a place like this, it is better to stay sober."

What she said was meaningful, but only Jiang Man understood it, while everyone else was confused.

Gao Shuangbin wanted to say something but stopped himself when he felt someone bumped into his leg. He turned around and saw Jiang Man giving him a warning look.

Gao Shuangbin seemed to be thinking about something.

Li Yiming waved his hands nonchalantly, "You guys are just too cautious. You drank too much and went home to sleep. What can happen?"

An Jiale also said: "Lock the door early tonight, it will be fine."

Mingnan looked at her like a fool and shut up.

It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words.

After waiting for about half an hour, the meal finally started. Men and women in aprons walked between the tables serving the dishes.

Jiang Man sat closer to the outside, so he was responsible for serving the dishes.

Braised pork, steamed fish, chicken stewed with mushrooms, celery vermicelli...

There are meat and vegetables, cold and hot flavors, which is really good.

As soon as the last dish was served, the village chief shouted, "Wait—"

Everyone looked up, and the village chief smiled as he opened the bottle and said, "This is our own brew, very nutritious. Come on, everyone have a bowl, I guarantee you'll all agree after you drink it."

As soon as the lid was opened, a strong aroma of white wine wafted out.

Li Yiming's eyes lit up. "I can tell it's good wine just by smelling it. Give me a bowl."

“Give it to me.”

The village chief poured him a bowl.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan asked for half a bowl as well, but the village chief's hands shook and he filled her bowl.

"It's okay to drink too much, just take care of each other."

"I don't want to drink. I can't drink." Lin Jing waved his hands.

The village chief took an empty bowl and handed it to her, "This is good wine. Drinking it won't hurt you. If you don't believe me, try it."

Lin Jing wanted to refuse, but Mingnan held her hand and gave her a look.

Seeing this, Lin Jing swallowed his words back.

Liu Zhuang came over with a wine bowl and wanted to toast them. It was really difficult to refuse this time, so the rest of them could only let the village chief fill their glasses.

Finally, the village chief held up the bottle and said, "It is destined that we will meet after traveling a thousand miles. Come, let's go!"

Everyone stood up immediately and bumped into them.

When Liu Zhuang and the village chief were drinking, Mingnan made a fake move and then coughed twice, "This wine is really spicy."

Lin Jing also took a sip. It looked like he was drinking it, but in fact he was just tasting it.

After the village chief and Liu Zhuang finished drinking, they saw their faces blushing and couldn't help laughing.

"You guys can't drink much."

Mingnan covered his lips with one hand and continued to cough. He put his other hand on the bowl and shook his head, saying, "No, this alcohol is really strong. I feel a little dizzy."

"Oh, you just drank too fast, just drink slowly."

The village chief watched with a smile.

Li Yiming drank happily, raised his thumb and said: "This is what wine is, very tasty!"

"Hahahaha, you still have good taste!" Liu Zhuang smiled and bumped fists with him, then urged him to drink again. Only then did he leave with the village chief feeling satisfied.

As soon as they left, Mingnan pretended to take a sip of wine, then swayed a little, and her hand "accidentally" touched Lin Jing's wine bowl. Her hand loosened, and her own bowl fell as well. The two bowls fell on the damp ground without making any sound, but the wine spilled all over the floor.

Lin Jing was at a loss, "Sister Nan?"
