Chapter 49 A handsome face
Chapter 49 A handsome face
The captain's eyes widened in surprise and his mouth opened wide.
Oh my goodness!
This girl Lin looks so fragile, how come she is so strong?
He had never seen anything so magical!
"Captain, I have been very strong since I was a child, and I also know some martial arts skills. You don't have to worry about my safety at all."
Lin Xiaodou gently put the stone table back in place and continued:
"I don't live here for free. I can pay some rent every month, so the brigade can also have an income."
When the captain heard this, his eyes lit up instantly.
Their Heishi Village is the poorest village in the commune.
Except for the end of the year when we transported grain to the commune, we didn't get a penny at other times.
Now someone has taken the initiative to increase the team's income, and he is quite willing to agree.
"All the wooden houses in the village are occupied, but there is a vacant two-story wooden house near the back mountain."
The captain pondered for a moment and continued:
“That was where the landlords of the village used to live, but after they were overthrown, all the family members died.
The villagers thought the place was unlucky and that it had been occupied by a landlord, so they were unwilling to move there, and it remained vacant. "
Lin Xiaodou: "Is it far from our village?"
The captain: "It's not too far, about 3 kilometers, less than 30 minutes."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaodou was a little moved: "Then I'll live there."
Far away from the village, she was free and at ease, not afraid of being discovered.
"But you can. There is a problem here that I need to tell you about."
The captain hesitated for two seconds, then whispered:
"I'm telling you this because you're one of our own, so don't tell anyone else.
I heard that place is haunted..."
The children in the village usually go to the back mountain in groups to collect firewood and pick wild vegetables.
The wooden house is right next to the back mountain and can be seen at a glance.
Although the adults in the village think that place is unlucky, the children don't think so.
The village is full of poor farmers, and most of their wooden houses are dilapidated.
Although the two-story wooden house had been empty for several years, its quality was very good and it looked much better than the houses in the village.
Sometimes when the children in the village were tired from work, they would play together in the wooden house.
There was nothing wrong before, but recently there were strange noises coming from there.
Sometimes it sounds like a baby crying, and sometimes it sounds like an old man sighing.
Some brave kids ran in to find out what was going on.
But before he took two steps, a dark shadow flashed over his head, accompanied by a roar.
The child was so frightened that he fell down and crawled out.
The naughty kid cried so loudly that the earth was shaken, and ran home with half of his butt exposed.
The whole village knew about this incident.
Everyone was speculating that the landlord's family must have died so tragically that their ghosts were reluctant to leave and so they came out to scare people.
When the team leader heard this, he severely criticized the villagers.
Feudal superstition is unacceptable and will be severely cracked down upon by the higher authorities!
If this gets to the ears of the commune leaders, their village will no longer be eligible for the outstanding selection.
But the people in the village are in a panic and can't do their work well, which is not a good thing.
So the team leader took a few men from the village and went to the wooden house some time ago.
But less than half an hour after they entered, a group of people ran out with terrified faces.
"That place is really weird, it's dark inside and I can't see anything, and there are strange noises floating around in my ears.
A villager in our village had scratches on his arm for no apparent reason.
There was another person standing there, and the beam above his head suddenly fell down.
If he hadn't dodged quickly, his head would have almost exploded!"
At this point, the captain sighed and continued:
"Later, everyone observed and found that as long as they didn't go into the wooden house, they would be fine.
So from then on, no one dared to approach the wooden house."
I also told the villagers not to spread rumors about ghosts, and just pretend that they don’t exist.”
After the captain said this, he observed Lin Xiaodou's expression again.
Just now when he heard Lin Zhiqing say that he would pay rent to the brigade, he was indeed very excited.
But then I thought about it and felt that it was not a good idea.
After all, this girl looks like a fairy. Even if she has the ability to protect herself, she will still be in danger.
So he deliberately told her about the wooden house in the back hill to scare her.
This is indeed true, and I also want her to know that living alone is really unsafe.
The captain originally thought that Lin Xiaodou would give up when faced with difficulties.
But unexpectedly, she still insisted:
"Captain, let me live in this house. I want to live there!"
Haunted?
She died once, so why would someone who was reborn and traveled through time be afraid of this?
Lin Xiaodou doesn't believe that there are ghosts in this world.
Even if they exist, ghosts are no scarier than humans.
Whether it's true or not.
The rumor could keep people away from her house.
It’s nice to have some quiet time!
The captain was totally confused about Lin Xiaodou's train of thought.
After her repeated insistence, he finally gave in.
He asked her to spend the night in the educated youth compound and would take her to the wooden house tomorrow.
He also reminded me: "You can live here for a few days to get a feel for it. The team will not charge you rent for the time being. If you regret it, you can tell me at any time."
Lin Xiaodou: "Thank you, I know."
This captain is a cold-faced but warm-hearted person, and he's a really nice guy.
Lin Xiaodou took out a bag of cakes from her army green shoulder bag:
"This is the egg cake I brought from home. I'm giving it to you and your aunt. I hope you don't mind."
"You can't do that. It's such a precious thing. You should keep it for yourself and enjoy it slowly!"
The captain waved his hands repeatedly, and Lin Xiaodou placed the egg cake directly on the stone table:
"I still have some. If you don't want to eat it, just throw it away!"
After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.
"This girl... is really kind-hearted..."
The captain picked up the bag of egg cakes and looked touched.
He thought to himself that he should take better care of Lin Zhiqing in the future.

at the same time.
In the back mountain, in a two-story wooden house.
A small figure jumped a few times from the ceiling of the house.
Then he jumped to the ground and ran into a room.
He knocked expertly on a brick in the corner of the room.
“Boom!”
A revolving door suddenly appeared on the wall.
The little figure ran in and closed the door behind him.
The little guy skipped down the dirt steps.
Just got to the cellar.
A voice that sounded like Mu Chunfeng and helpless sounded.
"Little rascal, did you sneak out to play again?"
A tall and slender figure slowly walked over.
Under the illumination of several luminous pearls in the cellar.
Revealing a handsome face...
