Chapter 331
Lin Qingyang!
Lin Qingyang glanced at the woman suspiciously. The woman seemed to feel a little embarrassed by his gaze. She tightened her collar and hid behind Cheng Hui.
Lin Qingyang: ...
His gaze gradually grew colder, and Cheng Hui felt a chill on his back. He quickly strode over to Lin Qingyang and forced a smile, "My name is Cheng Hui. I haven't asked for your advice yet..."
"Lin Qingyang."
When facing Cheng Hui, Lin Qingyang always has a good attitude and there is a hint of smile in his eyes.
Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang just stared at each other quietly, and the air around them suddenly became a little sticky.
Cheng Hui only felt that his breathing quickened a little, his heart was pounding, and looking at the beauty in front of him, he had the illusion of wanting to take a bite.
Cheng Hui: …???
No way! I want to kiss someone right after just meeting them. Am I really that impatient?
Lin Qingyang had no idea about Cheng Hui's little thoughts. He didn't mind continuing to stare at each other for such a long time, but he remembered that they all had no place to live yet, so they had to solve this problem first.
As for that woman...or man.
He glanced at the person coldly. After Cheng Hui dodged, the woman huddled beside the little Taoist boy and did not dare to approach Cheng Hui again.
Of course, it is also possible that he was frightened by Lin Qingyang. After all, Lin Qingyang is beautiful, but also scary when he is powerful.
The young Taoist boy looked at the three of them and felt that the atmosphere was very strange. However, he didn't dwell on it and said to Cheng Hui directly, "Uh... Brother Cheng, why don't you go to Aunt Zhang's house today?"
"Okay." Cheng Hui had been here once yesterday and had a rough understanding of the environment here. He glanced at Lin Qingyang and suggested, "Aunt Zhang's woodshed is quite large. Why don't you let Master Lin come with me?"
The little Taoist boy agreed without much thought: "Okay, then I'll let this..." He looked at the woman, and the woman said softly: "Little Taoist priest, you can just call me Ruyan."
"Well, Miss Ruyan, I'm afraid you'll have to stay at Aunt Six's house tonight."
"It's all up to the young Taoist priest to arrange it. It's good enough to have a place to stay." Ruyan smiled sweetly, revealing some extraordinary grace.
Lin Qingyang glanced at her casually. Ruyan? The name sounded familiar. Could it be that they had known each other before?
He looked at Ruyan again. She didn't seem to dare to look him in the eye, and didn't look like she knew him.
Lin Qingyang withdrew his gaze indifferently. It didn't matter whether he knew her or not. He didn't care that much.
Now, the only person he cares about is Cheng Hui.
"Ah Hui, if it's convenient, can you take me to Aunt Zhang's place? I'm a little tired."
"Ah? Okay, okay, I'll take you there right away. I was negligent. You must be very tired after walking all day."
Cheng Hui greeted the little Taoist boy, "Master Zhengxing, I'll take Master Lin first."
"Ah, okay, go ahead. I'll take care of Miss Ruyan." The little Taoist boy Zhengxing waved his hand, signaling them to go. Then, he led Ruyan towards the villagers gathered in the square.
On the way to Aunt Zhang's house, Lin Qingyang took the opportunity to chat with Cheng Hui.
But after trying again and again, I found out that Cheng Hui knew the same thing as him.
They both woke up by the campfire and lost their memories. The only thing that made Cheng Hui better than him was that he had been here once yesterday and was more familiar with the process.
"Did you encounter anything scary yesterday?" he asked.
Cheng Hui was stunned. He recalled for a moment and said uncertainly, "I think... not... Strange, why can't I remember it? It's impossible... That happened yesterday..."
Cheng Hui was a little frightened. This inexplicable loss of memory, which he was completely unaware of, made him very uneasy.
Lin Qingyang frowned. This small village was really weird. Everyone he met looked ordinary, but the things happening around him were so strange.
"So what happened last night?" he asked again.
"Not really. The village is very safe." Cheng Hui said casually.
"Why do you feel the village is safe?" Lin Qingyang asked.
Cheng Hui was speechless again.
Yes, I was very scared when I was at the village entrance, so why did I feel safe after entering the village?
When did he come up with the idea that 'the village is safe'?
Seeing that Cheng Hui was silent, Lin Qingyang also fell silent.
This village is full of strange things. If he doesn't figure it out, he won't be able to sleep well.
When they arrived at Aunt Zhang's house, Aunt Zhang saw that it was Cheng Hui and greeted him warmly. When she learned that he wanted to stay one more night, she agreed without saying a word.
She also asked her son to help them make the beds. If Cheng Hui had not firmly refused, she would even want to get some food for Cheng Hui and the others.
After finally persuading Aunt Zhang to leave, Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang cleaned up simply and lay down on the makeshift bed.
Lying on the hard bed board, Lin Qingyang felt uncomfortable no matter how he lay. He always felt that... the beds he had slept on before were a hundred times more comfortable than this broken wooden board.
"What's wrong? Can't you sleep well?" Cheng Hui couldn't help but ask with a smile when he saw Lin Qingyang tossing and turning restlessly.
As soon as he saw Lin Qingyang's delicate and tender appearance, he felt that he must be a spoiled young man.
Hey... think about his looks. If he had such a handsome brother, he would definitely spoil him to death.
It's a pity that the conditions here are so poor, there is really no other way, otherwise he would like to have the best things delivered to him.
Cheng Hui suddenly thought that if Aunt Zhang asked them to work tomorrow, he would do all of Lin Qingyang's work at once. After all, he was strong, so it wouldn't matter if he did more.
Lin Qingyang is so fair and tender. What if her hands are rubbed while working? He can't help but feel distressed.
Cheng Hui: ...
Damn it!
What the hell am I thinking! We just met? I...
Cheng Hui held his head and doubted his life, always feeling that he seemed to have become very abnormal.
Lin Qingyang was about to talk to Cheng Hui, but he saw the other party suddenly holding his head with a look of deep shock, which made him stunned.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked.
"It's okay..." Cheng Hui replied quickly.
How could he say that his imagination had irritated him? Of course not!
Lin Qingyang didn't understand, but he quickly skipped this awkward topic and turned to discuss matters about the village with Cheng Hui.
This small village doesn't look very big, with only seventeen or eighteen households. Assuming there are seven people in each family, there are more than a hundred people in the entire village.
From the firewood room Aunt Zhang had tidied up for them, it was clear that the village wasn't very wealthy, but it wasn't so poor that they couldn't afford to eat. The only person who could be considered wealthy was probably the village chief.
When passing by the square before, Lin Qingyang noticed the only large blue brick and tile house near the square. The high courtyard wall blocked everyone's view outside, which was very eye-catching.
As the two were talking, Lin Qingyang felt the familiar feeling of being spied on again.
He put a finger in front of his mouth and jumped up to the window.
In order to allow for ventilation, the windows of the woodshed were large and the wooden window frames were very heavy. Lin Qingyang suddenly opened the window and looked out. He saw a human head floating in the air in the darkness, staring at him.
Lin Qingyang:!!!
Cheng Hui:!!!
"Fuck! What the hell!"
Cheng Hui, who was a step slow, happened to see the hanging head and was immediately frightened. After a closer look, he found that the head was not really hanging in the air, but had a long neck behind it, extending along the wall like a snake.
"hiss--"
The head seemed to be frightened and suddenly shrank back, closing the window with a snap.
Lin Qingyang and Cheng Hui looked at each other. If they were not mistaken, the head just now was actually Aunt Zhang.
"It's Aunt Zhang!" Cheng Hui exclaimed.
"She was eavesdropping!" Lin Qingyang asserted.
"How could it be..." Cheng Hui really couldn't accept it. How could Aunt Zhang, who was so enthusiastic, be... a monster?
"Let's go and take a look first." Lin Qingyang felt that no matter what happened, it must be related to Aunt Zhang.
Just as they were about to leave, they heard a light in the next room turn on, and Aunt Zhang's familiar loud voice rang out: "What's the matter? What happened? Xiao Cheng, is there a mouse?"
Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang were stunned. Cheng Hui looked a little confused. What did Aunt Zhang mean by this?
Lin Qingyang narrowed his eyes slightly. Was he trying to pretend that nothing had happened?
He opened the door and walked to Aunt Zhang's door, saying in a deep voice: "Aunt Zhang, we think we saw a snake crawling into your room just now. Please get up and take a look. Otherwise, open the door and we will help you look for it..."
"Snake?" Aunt Zhang was startled. "How could there be a snake!" She woke up her husband and they hurriedly opened the door.
The youngest son who lived in the east wing also woke up, ran out with a hoe, and asked nervously: "Where is the snake? Where is it?"
Lin Qingyang observed Aunt Zhang calmly. Her expression did not seem fake, and she did not have the guilty feeling she had when she looked at Lin Qingyang before.
He slowly withdrew his gaze. Unless Aunt Zhang's acting skills were so superb that she could even deceive him, she probably didn't know about the previous changes.
So...what on earth was going on with the human-headed snake just now?
With this suspicion, Lin Qingyang pretended to help find the snake, but actually searched the room thoroughly.
Unfortunately, they didn't get anything. The human-headed snake should have been hiding in this room, but Lin Qingyang and Cheng Hui almost turned the room upside down and found nothing.
"Sorry, maybe I saw it wrong. I'm really sorry for disturbing you two." Lin Qingyang had the ashamed expression of a young man who had done something wrong.
Although Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang's sleep was disturbed, they couldn't say anything more because they could see how ashamed Lin Qingyang was. Uncle Zhang smiled and tried to smooth things over for them: "Forget it, forget it. You have good intentions. If a snake really gets into it, you will have saved us, the old couple."
Aunt Zhang agreed. If a poisonous snake really entered the house, the two old people would have nowhere to escape and might even die in the snake's mouth.
"Okay, since there is no snake, let's go to sleep. We have to work tomorrow!" Aunt Zhang's youngest son yawned and looked sleepy.
"Okay, we will work hard tomorrow and make up for today's mistakes." Lin Qingyang said with a smile.
The matter was settled, and everyone went back to their rooms to catch up on some sleep. Aunt Zhang's youngest son, Zhang Hai, fell asleep the fastest, and soon woke up with a snoring sound.
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang chatted about the family's land and gossiped about the village chief's unfaithful daughter-in-law before falling into a deep sleep.
After everyone fell asleep, Lin Qingyang and Cheng Hui looked at each other and got up from the bed at the same time.
"Let's go to the village entrance?" Cheng Hui asked.
"Walk!"
The two men quickly opened the window and jumped out, climbed over the courtyard wall, and ran towards the village entrance.
