It's the sound of a rooster crowing.
You know, roosters usually only crow in the morning, and it's almost afternoon now.
We remembered what the landlady had said: we could only go out when the rooster crowed.
"Brother Chen, should we leave?" Lao Dao asked for my opinion.
I don't know who to listen to, or maybe I should just ignore everyone.
"Brother Chen, I still think Hua Hua is more normal. This proprietress is too scary!"
After some deliberation, Lao Dao decided to choose Hua Hua.
"I think Hua Hua is nice; at least from her appearance, she doesn't seem like a bad person!"
Old Dao continued.
I told him not to judge a book by its cover, that there was something strange about this place, and that they might not be any good people.
There was a knock on the door. Judging from the force of the knock, it should be a young girl. Needless to say, the only one in this guesthouse who could match that is Hua Hua.
I went up to open the door, and sure enough, it was Huahua.
Hua Hua was babbling and indicating that it was very dangerous there, and that we should follow her.
Only in this way can we leave.
Old Dao was clearly captivated by Hua Hua; in the eyes of many men, good looks are everything.
Hua Hua is very beautiful, even more so than those popular young actresses.
The tattered, coarse cloth clothes he wore made him seem even more approachable.
"Little sister, I believe you, take me with you!"
Old Dao has lost his judgment; he now completely trusts the seemingly harmless Hua Hua in front of him.
That's true; people are naturally less wary of such vulnerable girls.
Especially since the girl had scars on her body, it was easy for people to mistake her for someone who had been persecuted.
But I've been staring at her wound ever since Huahua came in.
These wounds are all fresh, with no trace of old injuries.
"Hua Hua, how long have you been here?"
We pulled Hua Hua into the room and started questioning her.
Hua Hua used sign language to indicate that she was adopted four or five years ago.
However, the landlady often abused her, and the landlady was not quite the same as she appeared on the surface.
Hua Hua told us that if we didn't leave quickly, we would end up like the other guests.
Old Dao became more and more frightened as he listened, and grabbed my arm: "Brother Chen, let's hurry up and leave before the boss lady comes back."
I hesitated a little, because I was afraid that if I missed this opportunity, I would never be able to find Haopo Village again.
Liu Sandao also said that if you want to find Haopo Village, you can't do it during the day; you have to set off at night.
What the proprietress said perfectly matched what Liu Sandao said.
Seeing that I hadn't made up my mind yet, Hua Hua became very anxious.
The sign language gestures were just like the hand seals in Naruto.
This means that she also knows how to get to Haopo Village.
"You knew about this too?"
I'm smitten.
Hua Hua nodded vigorously.
Do you know Xu Feng?
I continued to question her, my gaze fixed intently on Hua Hua's eyes. I could tell if she was lying, even if it was just a little bit.
Hua Hua continued to nod.
"Okay, for that reason alone, I'll do as you say!"
I made up my mind, took the Thunder Strike Sword, and prepared to leave this place with Hua Hua.
The journey was smooth, and instead of leaving from the front, we went around to the backyard.
I asked Hua Hua why we had to walk this way, and Hua Hua gestured in sign language that the entire courtyard was under a spell, and only by doing this could we leave.
If you don't go through the backyard and go straight through the front door, you'll never get out of here in your entire life.
"What kind of monster is the landlady? Is she not human?"
Old Dao asked, wanting to know if the proprietress was a snake spirit.
Hua Hua shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either, and then gestured to tell us that the landlady was acting strangely.
As we followed Hua Hua past the previous room, Lao Dao asked her if we should rescue the people inside.
Hua Hua took out her key from her pocket and unlocked the door.
Unfortunately, there was nothing in the room.
Hua Hua gestured and made sounds to tell us that there were only the two of us guests at the moment.
The remaining guests all turned into chickens.
"Chicken? Ugh!" Old Dao almost vomited after hearing that.
Although he suspected there was something wrong with the braised rooster in the clay pot today, he still tasted a little of it.
I never imagined this wasn't chicken, it was human flesh!
"Brother Chen, what if we turn into chickens and get eaten? Brother Chen, you have to think of something!" Old Knife panicked.
I didn't interrupt, but calmly considered the situation at hand.
Hua Hua also told us that their boss had never raised chickens; it's just that after guests came, those guests would mysteriously disappear.
After that, there were many more chickens in the yard.
This story sent chills down our spines.
Hua Hua led us to a cellar in the backyard, opened the lid, and inside was a passageway.
At that moment, the rooster crowed again.
"Alright, guests, we don't have much time left. Go down into this cellar and keep walking straight ahead until you reach the end. Someone will be there to meet you!"
After the rooster crowed, Hua Hua actually started talking.
"You can talk?" I became even more wary; things were getting increasingly bizarre.
"Well, because of the formation here, I won't be able to speak for quite a long time. You guys should hurry up and follow the tunnel; it should only take about half an hour to get out!"
Hua Hua gave a simple explanation, and judging from her expression, it didn't seem like she was lying.
"Hua Hua, aren't you coming with us?" Old Dao seemed reluctant to part with Hua Hua and wanted to take her with him.
