"That sounds terrifying! If there really is a monster, I'd probably die before I even got a good look at its face!"
"It's already dark. If you're not afraid of encountering anything strange on the road, you can go back!"
Lanzhou University students, who were walking ahead, grew impatient and urged him on.
"There are three of us big men here. We're more than capable of protecting you girls. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Besides, those missing outsiders might just be rumors. You all know the saying 'three men can make a tiger,' and who actually saw any outsiders disappear?"
"Maybe... this is just a gimmick used by the Shizu village to attract tourists and try to develop the local economy. This place is poor and backward, and can't attract people with anything else, so they came up with this terrible idea—"
"They attract interested people by using these ghost stories!"
"Qi Feng, those two are scared, but you, a grown man, are scared too? Humph, I really look down on you!"
Lan Da scoffed coldly and walked away without looking back.
Qi Feng was indeed taken aback by him. She strode after him, saying as she walked, "Who's afraid? I'm not afraid at all. I just stopped to keep those girls company because they were scared."
"It's just a small village, what's there to be afraid of?"
...........
Hey hey hey, beautiful lady!
"Have mercy! Have mercy!"
"Oh my god—"
Qi Feng, with a bruised and swollen face like a pig's head after being beaten, was kicked out of the door.
He quickly explained to the people inside, "We really came here for tourism and wanted to stay in the village for the night. We meant no harm."
"Look at us, which one of us looks like a bad guy?"
He pointed behind him, as if trying to prove himself.
Apart from Lan Da, who was dressed simply, the rest of the group were all from wealthy or noble families, or at the very least, middle-class families.
They don't seem like people with malicious intent!
Kelan Cuicui wouldn't listen. She took the half-full basin of cold water and poured it over the chiffon cake.
His pants were soaked through and still dripping wet...
Qi Feng felt like he must have been stunned by the beating, and he actually felt okay. After all, this lady had just hit him, and now she was only being merciful by splashing water on him.
"The village chief's daughter is really something! No wonder she grew up in this village, the local customs are so tough, hahaha!"
Seeing that the brat had been thoroughly beaten up, Yan Zhao watched the spectacle with glee.
Let him cling to Miaomiao like a leech!
Hmph, now you're getting your comeuppance!
After entering the village, they finally managed to ask an old man, who, like the middle-aged woman, looked at them without saying a word.
But at least it was something they were good at, and it pointed them in the right direction.
So the group went to the village chief's house. Qi Feng, provoked by Lan Da, was afraid that his image in Yan Miao's eyes would be damaged, so he couldn't wait to show himself.
So he took the lead and went up to knock on the door first.
Unexpectedly, the village chief was not at home; only his short-tempered daughter, Lan Cuicui, who was quick to throw punches, was there!
Lan Cuicui's complexion looked much better than the villagers she had just met; she could be considered to have a rosy complexion.
Even so, the gray weather still gave off a heavy sense of paleness.
The entire village seemed lifeless and devoid of vitality.
Yan Miao stared at Lan Cuicui's face, seemingly lost in thought.
Logically speaking, in a village isolated from the world, where everyone is self-sufficient and not harmed by the technology and hard work in the city, shouldn't everyone be full of energy and have strong bodies?
Although Lan Cuicui was fierce, she had a delicate appearance, with a very small frame and little flesh on her body.
Her jet-black hair reached her waist, as if it had never been cut, or perhaps it had been cut but only casually trimmed with scissors, leaving the edges of her hair frizzy and unruly.
Yan Miao hid in the crowd, sizing up the unfamiliar girl, and felt that—
It's like she's deliberately trying to get rid of them!
When she first saw Chiffon, her jaw nearly dropped to the floor; her eyes held a complex mix of emotions: shock, panic, heartache, and fear...
In less than three seconds, his shocked gaze turned fierce again, and without saying a word, he started punching and kicking Qi Feng.
Since the other person was a girl, and Qi Feng couldn't fight back, she could only take the beating!
Now he's been drenched again, he's really suffering in silence.
What, you think you can lay a hand on a girl?
"Beautiful lady, I'm really not a bad person, I just need to stay the night..."
"If all else fails, could you point us to a place? We'll make do outside for the night. The weather looks really creepy."
"If you could take us in, that would be even better—"
"Get out! Can't you understand human language?!"
Lan Cuicui roared fiercely, as if she had seen her father's killer.
"That's enough, don't go too far!"
Lan Da suddenly stepped out from behind Yan Yanzhao, his eyes flashing with a terrifying cold light, and glared at Lan Cuicui with displeasure.
Upon seeing him, Lan Cuicui, who had been fierce and menacing, dropped the basin in her hand as if she had seen some jackal or tiger.
"Bang--"
He slammed the door shut!
Even through the door, you could hear her shouting from inside, "Get out! Get out of here right now! We don't welcome outsiders here. If you don't leave, I'll have my father arrest you all!"
"Young lady, it was quite abrupt of us to come to your house all of a sudden. We've scared you with our large group of people."
