Gu Mingtai nodded honestly, and seeing her face darken, he immediately explained, "Don't be angry, I'll explain to you. The reason I said that just now was actually because I wanted to feel the feeling of being loved. From childhood to adulthood, although Master loves me very much, there are so many brothers and sisters in the temple, and Master's love has been shared among so many people, leaving very little for me. Just now, when I heard you say you would teach someone a lesson for me, I was really happy. It turns out that being loved by others feels so good. Xiao Meng, thank you, but from now on, it's my turn to love you. I won't let anyone bully you."
Zhang Meng, who was originally a little angry, immediately had red eyes. She pushed him and complained with a choked voice, "Really? Why did you say such sentimental words when you were fine? It made me want to cry."
Next, the two bought some other things and were about to go home. However, just after they walked out of the department store door, they ran into He Liu walking hurriedly through the door with someone.
"Brother He." Zhang Meng greeted He Liu who had just passed by.
He Men, who had already walked some distance, heard the familiar voice and immediately turned around. Seeing Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai, he immediately turned back.
"Boss, Comrade Zhang, what a coincidence, I actually ran into you here."
"Gu Mingtai and I came here to buy some things." Zhang Meng explained with a smile.
"Comrade Zhang, hello, do you still recognize me?" At this time, the man following He Liu finally walked here and waved at Zhang Meng with a listless smile on his face.
"I remember you. You are the master who was at my grandma's house last time." Zhang Meng smiled and waved to him.
Wu Runfa laughed bitterly and said self-deprecatingly, "What master? Bullshit master, don't even mention it. It's so embarrassing."
Zhang Meng smiled. After all, she was not familiar with the other person, so it was not appropriate to ask too much. She could only look up and continue talking to He Men, "Brother He, you seemed to be in such a hurry just now. Where were you going?"
He Liu looked at his good friend Wu Runfa and pointed at him immediately, "Ask him, it's all his fault."
Wu Runfa blushed, smiled sheepishly, and then began to explain, "I took a job a few days ago, thinking it was a good money-making business, but I didn't expect that something bad would happen after just one day of my being there. You know my abilities, I'm fine with deceiving people to protect myself, but I'm not really capable of actually exorcising ghosts or something like that. I had no choice but to ask my good friend to help me."
Zhang Meng immediately became interested. Ever since she learned to catch ghosts, she'd been very curious about ghosts and spirits. "Is it difficult? Can I come with you to take a look?"
When Wu Runfa heard this, he immediately smiled happily until his eyes narrowed into slits, "Of course, with you, Comrade Zhang, coming along, I have a better chance of saving my life."
He Liu frowned slightly and looked at Wu Runfa beside him unhappily, "What do you mean? Do you despise my ability? If you do, I won't go with you."
He Liu showed a flattering smile and pulled He Liu who was about to leave, "Don't go, I don't despise you, of course I believe in your ability, I'm just talking, just talking." He Liu snorted lightly, but did not leave.
Naturally, Gu Mingtai ended up going along as well, riding the bicycle he had just bought, carrying Zhang Meng and following Wu Runfa and He Liu who were half running and half walking.
Led by Wu Runfa, the four entered a village that was difficult to find on the map.
"Brother Wu, who told you about this village? Your village is really secluded."
After getting off the bicycle, Zhang Meng stood at the entrance of the village, staring at the entire village with half-closed eyes for a long time.
Wu Runfa said honestly, "A middle-aged man suddenly came to me and asked me to come here to check the feng shui of their village. I have nothing to do recently, so I took this job."
Zhang Meng turned around and looked at him, laughing, "Brother Wu, you're so lucky to have found such an interesting village right away."
Wu Runfa was so frightened by her laughter that his legs trembled. "Comrade Zhang, what do you mean by that? Please don't scare me. I'm timid and can't stand being scared."
He Liu spoke up at this time, "This village is a bit strange, a bit like a ghost village."
All of a sudden, Wu Runfa hugged He Liu's arm and trembled even more violently. "What kind of village is this? Don't talk nonsense. There are still people in this village. They even invited me to dinner yesterday."
Zhang Meng glanced at him, smiled coldly, and immediately looked at Gu Mingtai, who had not said a word the whole time. "Gu Mingtai, have you figured out anything?"
Gu Mingtai leaned close to her ear and whispered, "It's the same as what you saw."
Zhang Meng smiled and immediately said, "Let's go in."
As soon as they entered the village, they found that there was no one in the whole village and it was quiet everywhere. What was even more terrifying was that when the four of them, strangers, entered the village, there was not even the sound of a dog barking.
"It's strange. Where are the villagers? Where did they go?" Wu Runfa opened the door of the villager's house, only to find that there was no one inside.
Zhang Meng smiled calmly, "No need to look for it, let's wait here first. When it gets dark, we'll know everything."
Zhang Meng immediately looked at Gu Mingtai, who was holding the bicycle, and said coquettishly, "Gu Mingtai, I'm a little hungry. Is there anything to eat?"
Gu Mingtai, who looked like a slave to his wife, took down the cake tied to the front of the bicycle without saying a word and said, "Here is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake we bought when we first entered the county town. Do you want some?"
Zhang Meng glanced at the bagged sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Although she didn't really want to eat it, she nodded reluctantly when she thought about the tough battle she would have to fight after dark. "Then eat it. Give them a piece too."
He Liu and Wu Runfa, who were sitting on the side, didn't expect that the other party would divide them up, and they were a little embarrassed to refuse.
At this time, Zhang Meng had already started eating. When she heard their refusal, she rolled her eyes and said, "I advise you two to eat a little. Don't let yourself get hungry and not be able to handle all that food. It would be bad if you become a burden."
A look of embarrassment flashed across Wu Runfa and He Liu's faces. They looked at each other and obediently took the cake.
The four of them sat together and finished their pastries, which was considered to have filled their stomachs. The sun set in the west and the sky began to darken slowly.
Suddenly, the village, previously devoid of a single soul, was filled with human voices, and lights emanated from the quiet houses. It was as if this village had always been inhabited.
Wu Runfa was so frightened by what was happening in front of him that he couldn't speak. He could only stare at Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai with wide eyes.
"Let's go in." Zhang Meng didn't explain to him the strangeness of all this, but went into the villager's house closest to them first.
