Chapter 282: Strange Village Survival Guide 17
"He fell to his death. What does it have to do with me?"
Mingnan turned around indifferently and said, "Maybe he has done too many bad things and this is his retribution?"
The rain showed no sign of abating. The jade Buddha on Grandpa Sun's neck fell to the ground, face up. The rain kept washing away the mud on it, revealing the compassionate face of the jade Buddha.
"Pap-ta-ta-ta-"
Mingnan walked back on the water when he heard a sad and mournful song coming from somewhere.
"There are mountains beyond mountains, there are heavens beyond heavens, and deep in the blue there are people."
"Brides, young girls, bridegrooms are everywhere in the village."
"The big river rolls, the small stream gurgles, but they can't flow out of this winding mountain road."
"Laughing today and crying tomorrow, when will we be reunited again?"
"..."
The singer started laughing as he sang.
Hearing this makes one feel an indescribable sadness in their hearts.
Mingnan stopped and wanted to look back, but an invisible wind pushed her forward.
As if to say: Don't look back.
Mingnan paused for a moment, then continued to move forward following the force.
A faint laugh came from the wind, and then silence returned.
She didn’t know if it was Mingnan’s illusion, but after returning to the main room, she felt that the rain had subsided.
But this is not the most important thing right now.
She returned to the room and found the man lying on the ground, unconscious, and tied up.
An Jiale stood aside with a complicated expression, and immediately moved towards her when he saw her.
Mingnan raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong with him?"
An Jiale whispered, "Just now, when he saw you go out, he struggled to run, and Lin Jing picked up the flashlight and hit him on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious. There is a big bump on the back of his head."
Lin Jing held a flashlight, standing awkwardly on the other side. He looked at Mingnan awkwardly and whispered, "I was afraid he would run away, so I was in a hurry..."
"It's okay, it's well done."
Mingnan gave her a thumbs up, lifted her long hair that was wet by the rain and put it behind her head.
She was soaked all over, and after standing there for a while, a puddle of water formed on the ground.
Lin Jing felt relieved and asked with concern: "What about Grandpa Sun? Wasn't he caught? He won't go to the villagers to complain, right?"
"What should we do? There are only a few of us, and they have an entire village!"
An Jiale scratched his hands nervously, "It's raining so hard, where can we run to?"
"Don't worry, he will never be able to sue."
Mingnan looked at her meaningfully.
An Jiale was shocked, "You...what do you mean?"
"Literally, he's dead."
"died?!"
An Jiale and Lin Jing shouted in unison.
Then Lin Jing's first reaction was to check if the person on the ground was awake. After confirming that he was not awake, he lowered his voice and asked, "What happened?"
"I don't know. When I found him, he was climbing a mountain. Halfway up, he saw something and rolled down the mountain. He hit his head on a rock and died."
Mingnan spread his hands, "The body is still in the back mountain."
An Jiale and Lin Jing were both silent.
This way of dying was something they had not expected, but it was also very reasonable.
It is reasonable and logical that an elderly man slipped and died while climbing a mountain in heavy rain, provided that the people who heard the news are reasonable.
Lin Jing said with mixed feelings: "Maybe this is retribution."
"It's not a matter of retribution now. People are dead. What should we do?"
An Jiale grabbed his hair in worry, "Why don't we go find the village chief and talk to him about it. He should be able to take care of it."
"Him?" Mingnan looked at her sympathetically, "Don't be naive. Have you forgotten who persuaded you to drink?"
An Jiale paused, raised his head blankly, and suddenly an inspiration came to him, and his whole face turned pale.
"You mean, he's in league with them?"
Lin Jing nodded, "It's obvious."
"Then doesn't that mean we have no way out?" An Jiale was a little desperate.
Mingnan said, "Don't worry about it for now. Just leave this person here and follow me."
"Where are we going?" An Jiale asked.
"Go find someone else."
……
Jiang Man slept on the outside, Gao Shuangbin slept in the middle, and Yan Zhen slept on the innermost.
The three of them lay side by side. Yan Zhen was sleeping the soundest, Gao Shuangbin was dazed, half asleep and half awake, and Jiang Man had no desire to sleep at all.
After learning from Mingnan about the ending of his previous life, he has been curious about what happened that night.
An inexplicable tension and excitement gripped his entire mind, so he couldn't sleep at all.
By midnight, it was raining heavily outside again, and the sound was quite hypnotic.
Jiang Man finally felt a little sleepy. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard someone talking outside.
The sound was a little far away and was mostly obscured by the sound of rain. He listened carefully for a while before realizing that it came from outside.
He quietly got up, and Gao Shuangbin asked dazedly: "You um——"
"Shh!"
Jiang Man half-knelt on the kang and covered his mouth.
Gao Shuangbin woke up instantly. He couldn't see Jiang Man's expression in the dark, he could only see a vague outline.
He nodded, indicating that he understood.
Jiang Man then let go of his hand.
The noise outside started again.
Gao Shuangbin also heard it and couldn't help but prick up his ears.
“…Did you go?”
Yan Zhen was soundly sleeping inside, snoring softly. With the noisy sound of rain, they could only barely hear the three words "Did he go?" and they were not quite sure.
Jiang Man jumped down lightly, turned around and whispered to Gao Shuangbin, "Don't move, stay here, and leave when you hear me shout. If I don't shout, don't move."
"Then you better be careful." Gao Shuangbin warned worriedly.
Jiang Man nodded, put on his shoes silently, walked quickly to the window, quietly opened the inner window a little, and the sounds outside suddenly became clear.
The person should be standing under the eaves, very close to the window.
"How's it going? Are you all asleep?"
"Don't worry, I'm asleep."
"That's good. I wonder how Old Sun and that kid Wu Qin are doing?"
"What else can we do? They've already started now, right? Damn, that guy got a good deal."
"Who made him so close to the village chief? Don't worry, it will be your turn sooner or later. Aren't there four girls this time? Except for the two named An and Ming who have been decided, the rest are free to play with."
"But those two are the best. It's a pity that we can only look at them. However, the one with the surname Lin is not bad either."
Jiang Man's face suddenly darkened, just as Mingnan had guessed.
This bunch of beasts are committing crimes in a gang and covering up for each other!
One of them was the owner of the house - Wang Laoer, and the other one's voice sounded a little unfamiliar, but he also sounded like a young man.
Suddenly, there was a splashing sound of water outside - someone else was coming!
Jiang Manxin was startled and he cautiously looked out along the wall.
The heavy rain washed the windows, like a water curtain cave, and only vague shadows could be seen.
When the man stood still under the eaves, Wang Laoer called out, "Village Chief, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you."
