Chapter 1655: Weird old man

This family is left in the entire village. The courtyard wall has collapsed. Some vegetation has been built around the collapsed courtyard wall to make a simple fence courtyard. This kind of courtyard can only block some small beasts. , Let alone people.
A few people walked to the gate of the courtyard. The gate was closed. Through the fenced courtyard, the dilapidated room could be seen vaguely, revealing a faint light, which felt like the oldest kind of kerosene lamp.
It is impossible to power on this kind of place.
Standing at the gate of the yard, several people looked at each other, and finally Zhong Jinliang cleared his throat and shouted into the yard: "Is anyone?"
Hearing the voice, the voice shouted, everyone waited for a long time without any response.
Afterwards, Zhong Jinliang yelled twice, but no one responded.
Since there are lights in the room, there must be someone.
Why did no one respond, did they dare not respond, or did the people in the room have poor ears and could not hear the movement?
Zhao Yangui glanced at Ge Yu, and went straight to push the door of the room open. Everyone stepped on their feet and didn't enter through the front door. They turned over the low fenced courtyard and walked slowly towards the door of the house.
When he reached the door of the house, Zhong Jinliang still stretched out his hand, knocked on the door twice, and asked politely: "Hello, is there anyone in the house?"
After repeating this question three times, no one in the room responded. Zhong Jinliang waved his hand and pushed the door open.
As soon as the door was pushed open, there was a horrified cry from the room, and the scared people stepped back involuntarily, almost touching the magical artifact.
Zhong Jinliang looked towards the source of the sound, but saw that in the corner of the wall, there was an old man in a very shabby dress with a turban on his head, looking at them with horror.
With the faint and dim light in the room, Zhong Jinliang looked at the old lady and was taken aback by her appearance.
One eye of the old lady was pale and pale, and the other eye looked like a normal person, a bit oozing.
After a short silence, Zhong Jinliang immediately said: "Old man, don't be afraid, we are a passing tour, and there is nowhere to go when it gets dark. I want to rest here with you."
The old man shrank in the corner without saying a word. At this moment, from behind a cabinet beside the old man, an old man suddenly appeared with a chopper in his hand. He stepped out from the side and asked in horror. Said: "Who are you...what are you doing here?"
"Don't be afraid of the elderly. We are here for a trip. When we saw a village here, we came to rest. After searching the whole village, we found that you live here." Zhong Jinliang said politely again.
Hearing Zhong Jinliang’s explanation, the old man still did not relax his vigilance. Holding the chopper in his hand, he said nervously,
Go, hurry up. We never leave anyone in our village overnight. Don’t blame me for not reminding you. While the sky is still dark, you guys go quickly."
Hearing this, several people felt that there was a problem here, and they couldn't help being very curious, so they couldn't leave.
Hei Xiaolu immediately smiled, took two steps forward, and said with a smile: "Old man, don't be afraid, we are not bad guys. The sky is so dark. In the wild mountains and wild beasts, we dare not dare. Go out, today, we have to stay here for one night. Don't worry, we will not stay in vain, we will pay."
With that said, Hei Xiaose took out several hundred yuan bills from her body and handed them to the old man.
The old man didn't even look at it, and said coldly, "Do you think there is a place to spend money in our village?"
Hei Xiaose was taken aback for a moment, and she thought, too, this place is in the barren mountains and ridges, and the nearest populated places have to walk one day and one night, and there is really no place to spend money.
But Hei Xiaose didn't give up, turned her head to look at Zhong Jinliang, and motioned for him to take out something from the folding fan.
Zhong Jinliang turned around, writhing in the folding fan for a moment, took out a few bags of cooked food, and some bags of salt.
The old man glanced at the things in Hei Xiaose's hand, his eyes lit up, put down the hatchet in his hand, and took the things in Hei Xiaose's hand.
Hei Xiaose winked at the crowd behind him, and everyone found a place to sit down.
The old man was not very polite. He took the bags of cooked food and immediately opened the package and gave the old lady a little food. The two of them ate directly. It felt like they had not eaten for a few days. same.
The atmosphere eased a lot. After the two old men had almost eaten, Hei Xiaose cautiously asked, "Old man, are you the only old couple in this village?"
The old man ate some food, got oily hands, and casually wiped on his body, nodded, and said, "Yes, the people in the village moved out one after another ten years ago. The family with the mouth, just our old couple, no children, don’t know where to move, just live here, originally there were a few old guys like us, recently, Lu One after another, they all died. People are getting old and useless. No one knows when they will lose their breath. Early this morning, we also buried one. When our old couple died, the village would be completely empty. Up."
"How did people die? Why did so many people die these days?" Hei Xiaose felt a little strange, and couldn't help asking.
"This..." The old man just wanted to say something, the old lady next to him glared at him with one eye, and the old man swallowed back to her mouth.
"A few young people, it’s so late. The outside of this village is indeed not peaceful, this barren hills and old forests, wild beasts, wild boars and leopards, there are a lot of them here, you just make do with it, there are two next door. The room, but the bed is not enough, you can squeeze it, and when it dawns tomorrow, you can leave as soon as possible." The one-eyed old lady said in a cold voice.
"The two elderly people don't worry. We will definitely leave tomorrow morning. Thank you for your hospitality." Hei Xiaose said politely again.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the place where you live..." The old lady got up, worried about her feet, and led them out of the house.
At this time, everyone discovered that the old lady had her feet bound. Her feet were authentic three-inch golden lotus, and her walking was very unstable.
Several people looked at each other and felt that the village and the two old people were strange everywhere, and they didn't say much at the moment. They followed the old man out of the house and went straight to a room next to him.
The door of the house was unlocked. As soon as the old man pushed open the door, a stale smell rushed towards him...
