Chapter 42 - Desolate Mountain Ghost Village
The few of us adults looked at each other, and in the end, I asked: "Little Tiger, can you tell us about the Ghost Village?"
Who would have thought that the brat in front of them would start to negotiate like a small ghost. "Then are you going to bring me or not? If you don't, then forget about it. Besides me, I don't think anyone will tell you."
After saying this, the kid raised his chin with a look of "you can't do anything against me".
To be honest, if this was my family's naughty child, I would definitely slap him twice on the butt right now.
How old are you, and you already started negotiating conditions. If this kind of person were to grow up, how terrible would that be?
Looking at the smiling Chen Ye beside me, I suddenly felt that when this guy grows up, he will definitely be the same as Chen Ye.
I looked around at the village we had left behind, then at the little guy in front of me. In the end, I said, "Why don't you tell me first, then we'll take you there. How about it?"
He had thought that this would be a form of protection, but who knew that …
"Milord already said that a lot of people are bad people. What they say doesn't count, and the oath they make doesn't count either. So, you must write it down for me, or else I won't bring you along."
How rare!
Even Chu Yu, who never changed his expression, seemed to have taken a bite. I suddenly had a strange feeling of balance, amongst the few of us, I am the one who was specifically bullied, my fighting strength is not higher than mine and I don't know as much as him-
In short, the kind that was inferior to no other.
Although I've always been like this since I was young, and I've long been used to being bullied, but the key point is that I didn't know many people in the past. Other than my parents, I was also my master, and those are all my elders, so bullying me isn't a big deal.
I came here with the intention to adventure.
His ambitions hadn't even started and he'd already been targeted by an old ghost. What kind of f * cking luck was this? He simply went out without looking at the calendar.
Forget it, these people could not even compare to the old ghosts from so many years ago, but why was this Chen Ye in front of them? We are of similar ages and statuses, but why am I always teased by him?
So now it's rare to see the two of them being bullied together with me. How could my heart feel good? I thought, look, look, after bullying many people, there will always be people who will take their revenge.
Even though I didn't personally report it, I was a bit regretful.
"Something happened in front. A ghost suddenly went crazy, we are here to catch the ghost. If you don't tell us, the ghost will start causing trouble everywhere."
The village in front of your village is very close. What if she accidentally came to your village to kill someone? Aren't you afraid that he will eat your eyes and your nose? " This was what Chu Yu had said.
That's right, it was the extremely cold and aloof Chu Yu who would normally not say a word.
These words that sounded like they were trying to scare a child caused Chen Ye and I to be dumbstruck. The two of us looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
It never occurred to me that the normally serious, even old-fashioned man could frighten a child, and with that tone of his, almost like memorizing a lesson, one would want to laugh out loud.
However, the matter was once again out of everyone's expectations. The proud and arrogant little boy from before was now trembling in fear. From his expression, we could tell that he seemed to have thought of something bad.
Seeing this scene, the hearts of the three of us simultaneously sunk. Even Chu Yu's expression became a lot more solemn. It could be seen that this Ghost Village was truly extraordinary.
At this moment, the big sister, I, who knew what was going on, possessed the boy again. She put on a sweet smile and patted the boy's head, "Don't be afraid. We came here just to solve this problem. Do you see these two uncles?
They are very powerful. As long as you tell us, nothing will happen to your village. Also, we won't bring you along because it's too dangerous for us to protect you.
But this elder sister can promise you, as long as we settle that Ghost Village thing, there won't be any more ghosts left there. In the future, you can go there and play as well, so you don't have to be afraid at all. "
After the little boy heard what I said, he looked deeply into my eyes. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he said to me, "Big sister, you didn't come with me right? This matter will take a whole night to explain." After saying that, the little boy led the way.
After I stood up, I noticed that the expressions of the two men behind me were extremely wonderful. I puzzledly asked, "What's wrong?"
Without waiting for their reply, he continued, "Don't worry, there will be a road ahead of us. If we go straight to the end of the bridge, it will be useless for us to think about it, maybe we will be scaring ourselves. Besides, if we can't handle it, we can just go back home and get more helpers."
I thought they were worried about that village. After all, this matter involved the Jade Soul Fragment, and one of them wanted to recover their memories and raise their strength.
The other wanted to repay the debt of gratitude.
Also, don't think that I didn't see it. Even though Chen Ye kept saying that he wanted to repay the favor, in reality, he didn't really like Chu Yu.
I don't know if it was just my imagination, but I could tell something was wrong between them?
"Shut up--"
"Shut up--"
The two of them had a tacit understanding and spoke at the same time.
Ah?
I was stunned by their curses. Did I say something wrong? Wasn't it just a word of advice and consolation? Was that wrong?
Especially since when did they become so well-coordinated?
Could it be that all that feeling was just an illusion? Actually, the two of them had a relationship with their benefactors and the descendants of their benefactors, there was no such thing as gunpowder?
But apparently, the two of them had no intention of explaining it to me.
In the end, I had to bite the bullet and follow them. I didn't know what I had done wrong, and I didn't know how to apologize.
I couldn't figure it out, so I might as well not think about it. On the way, I thought back to that Desolate Mountain Ghost Village.
To be honest, I'm really curious about this kind of village. Coming out to gain experience, I have to encounter a lot of things, and I'll have to rely on myself to deal with them along the way.
