Chapter 290: Strange Village Survival Guide 25

An Jiale pinched his brows in confusion, "What did you ask? I can't remember."

It was Lin Jing who reacted first. He murmured in astonishment, "Sister Nan asked why there were not many women in our village. How could these men reproduce for so many generations when they could not find wives?"

Mingnan nodded.

Gao Shuangbin's pupils trembled violently. He looked at them and then at Zhang Yan. A thread flashed through his mind, connecting all the previous clues together.

He clapped his hands suddenly and shouted, "I know!"

All of a sudden everyone looked at him.

Gao Shuangbin said seriously: "This Zhou Youhe pretends to be a driver who picks up girls here all year round, but he is actually the village's external contact person. He waits near the scenic spots, selects suitable girls, and then brings them to Luoyang Village."

"Then they used some means to possess them and locked them up. The girls were cut off from the outside world, but they couldn't escape. Finally..."

No one knows what will happen in the end, but it is likely to be a disaster.

Yan Zhen frowned and shook his head after hearing this. "That doesn't make sense."

Jiang Man nodded thoughtfully, "Indeed."

Gao Shuangbin was puzzled: "Why doesn't it make sense? I think it's quite reasonable."

"First of all, if Lao Zhou is responsible for finding suitable girls, why does he need to involve a few grown men like us?"

Jiang Man pointed at himself and Yan Zhen, but Li Yiming was ignored by him.

Gao Shuangbin was stunned and scratched his head, "It seems so."

Mingnan narrowed his eyes, thinking, "So it is very likely that he really didn't intend to harm anyone at first, and the car accident was an accident, but we had nowhere to go after the accident, so he simply brought the people back, and then he had evil intentions himself, so he attacked Zhang Yan?"

"What about Aunt Liu?"

Li Yiming frowned, "Isn't Aunt Liu his wife? He cheated on her right in front of her?"

This is also the point that Mingnan didn’t understand.

She was silent again, and couldn't help biting her thumb, thinking about the previous clues.

"In fact, we can't prove that Aunt Liu is Lao Zhou's wife. We just assumed it." Jiang Man suddenly said, "The household registration book doesn't mention their relationship. Either they didn't register in time, or they haven't even gotten married yet."

He reminded Mingnan, who suddenly raised his head and said, "Yes, I just looked around and didn't see the marriage certificate. People of this age usually like to put their documents together, so the household registration book and marriage certificate should be kept together."

"But I didn't find any, which means they are not married."

"And Lao Zhou's previous wife's surname was Xu, and they had a daughter named Zhou Xueqian, but they are both dead."

Mingnan's mind became clearer and clearer. She raised her index finger and looked at Jiang Man and Lin Jing, "Do you remember what the person in Zhang Yan's body said to us when we came in?"

Jiang Man responded immediately, "She said her father likes stewed meat the most."

"Dad?!" An Jiale finally got through. She took a deep breath and covered her mouth. "This dad, could it be Lao Zhou?"

"Very likely."

Mingnan said: "Her date of birth is recorded in the household registration book. If Zhou Xueqian is still alive today, she should be 23 years old. Aunt Liu probably started living with Mr. Zhou after his wife and daughter died. Therefore, there is no marriage certificate and no household registration."

Li Yiming sat paralyzed on the kang and asked in confusion, "So she possessed Zhang Yan and killed her own father? Is she crazy?"

"Why don't you say that it was Lao Zhou who did something wrong to his daughter that made her hate him so much."

Mingnan glanced at him.

"This... no matter what the reason is, you can't kill your own father, right?" Li Yiming said lacking confidence.

"What if her father wanted to kill her first? Why wouldn't she be allowed to fight back and take revenge? Why?"

Lin Jing was very dissatisfied with him and his words became more and more impolite.

It's disgusting that a cowardly, irresponsible, brainless, selfish and self-interested man wants to preach.

Li Yiming wanted to retort, but Gao Shuangbin glared at him and said, "Alright, no matter what the reason is, it has nothing to do with you, just shut up."

Mingnan ignored their argument, turned around and looked around, saw a kettle on the table, opened it and tried it, the water inside was who knows how long ago, there was no heat at all.

She picked it up and shook it, which was half full. She smiled with satisfaction, then poured it towards the village chief's face.

He was soaked through with water.

"puff--"

The village chief suddenly spat out a mouthful of water, opened his eyes with difficulty, and cursed angrily: "Fuck him, who messed with me?"

Jiang Man heard this and said coldly: "If you don't want the tongue anymore, then keep scolding me."

Hearing his voice, the village chief shuddered and suddenly came to his senses.

Several people gathered around him and stared at him.

The village chief swallowed and shrank back in fear. "What else do you want to do?"

He shouted fiercely: "I'm telling you, this is in Luoyang Village. If you dare to attack me, the villagers will not let you go!"

Mingnan sneered and put the kettle back on the table. Just as he was about to speak, the lights in the room suddenly flashed twice.

"ah--"

An Jiale immediately stepped back and stuck close to the wall.

Zhang Yan hugged Lin Jing tightly, "She's here, right? Is she?!"

“Hehe——”

A clear and cute laugh echoed out of nowhere, and everyone in the room fell silent in an instant.

The village chief's eyes suddenly widened, "No - Impossible!"

"Another guest has arrived. That's great. Let's stay and eat meat together."

The girl's voice is ethereal and clear, and actually quite nice to hear.

If the lights hadn't gone out as she finished.

The house suddenly fell into darkness, and screams rang out one after another.

Mingnan quickly reached for the switch and pressed it several times but there was no response. He let out a long breath.

It looks like this night will not end peacefully.

"Everyone, don't panic. Come over here."

Yan Zhen conducted with courage.

Lin Jing carried Zhang Yan down from the ground and quickly ran to their side.

Gao Shuangbin and Jiang Man protected them in the middle, one on each side.

An Jiale and Yan Zhen stood together.

Li Yiming screamed, "Where are you? Why can't I see you?"

"Are you looking for me?"

The girl's voice rang out again, but this time it was above Li Yiming's head.

Li Yiming raised his head stiffly, "Pah--"

Something cold fell in front of his eyes. He blinked, and when he opened his eyes again, he was caught off guard by a miserably pale face.

He opened his mouth wide, but no sound came out.

When a person is extremely frightened, he cannot even scream, and his whole body feels as if he is frozen.

The pretty girl suddenly burst into tears and grinned at him, "Why aren't you smiling? Aren't you happy?"

Li Yiming: “…”

I was so happy that I almost peed my pants.

Seeing that face getting closer, Li Yiming's eyes went dark and he felt like he was about to faint. At the critical moment, a hand reached out from nowhere, grabbed the back of his collar and dragged him off the kang.
