Villager of Destiny

Chapter 8
The old smoker is very familiar with everything in Niang'er Village today, and led me to find Liu Ming very quickly.

What upset me was that when I saw Liu Ming, I still didn't see Zhuang Yue, but Liu Ming's performance always showed me that Zhuang Yue was by his side.

But I didn't show it, I just stood next to the old smoker and giggled.

Because of this, I just feel inexplicably at ease.

This peace of mind is also brought to me by the old smoker.

Liu Ming looked very surprised when he saw the old smoker, as if he didn't expect that there would be other men besides us in Niang'er Village, but he obviously didn't care about the old smoker, although he was stunned when he saw the old smoker After a while, but still jokingly said, "Old man, your body is not very good, is it?"

"Don't be overwhelmed by then."

The old smoker didn't care about Liu Ming's teasing, he just laughed and said: "You young people can do it, but I, an old man, can't do it?"

"But old man, I am indeed not as capable as you."

"Before I came here, I heard that there are girls in this village who have taken a fancy to you."

Speaking of this, the old smoker's face became a little more envious, just like the real thing.

I watched from the side, and couldn't help laughing.

It's just that I was a fool in Liu Ming's eyes, my smile didn't attract his attention, even when he saw me staring at him, he still looked at the old smoker with some guilt and didn't look at me.

Then he sighed seriously: "We still have to see if there is any fate."

"Zhuang Yue, do you think so?"

Liu Ming glanced to the side.

The old smoker narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw his performance, but soon returned to normal, just continued to smile and said: "Fate is a simple thing."

"If you like, old man, I can set up a line for you."

"Really?" Liu Ming's eyes lit up.

The old smoker said indifferently: "That's not true."

"Old man, although I am not from this Niang'er Village, I can still speak well. Back then, a foreigner came here, and finally married that girl with my help."

When Liu Ming heard this, he immediately became excited, slapped his thigh and said, "That might be my uncle."

"We came here this time under the introduction of my uncle."

"But..." Liu Ming scratched his head in embarrassment, "But the main purpose of our visit is to make some films."

"The second thing is to find... to find your own fate."

I couldn't help but roll my eyes when I heard Liu Ming say that, that's not what he and Zhuang Yue said before.

But I didn't break them down.

After all, I still have to play dumb.

On the contrary, the old smoker waved his hands cooperatively and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what you are here for. When the fate comes, it will come naturally."

Then the old smoker pulled me again and said, "I have something to do with this kid, so I won't bother you."

After speaking, the old smoker dragged me towards the entrance of the village.

I didn't refuse, but after smiling at Liu Ming, I let the old smoker pull me, and soon the two of us arrived at the entrance of the village, and the old smoker sat directly where I usually do.

Before I could speak, the old smoker took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Do you have a lot of questions you want to ask?"

Without hesitation, I nodded.

"Sit down."

"It's almost time for you to know."

The old smoker took another drag on his cigarette.

After seeing me sitting down, he glanced at the direction of the village and said, "You are right, the other one is indeed dead."

I froze for a moment subconsciously.

The old smoker continued: "But his death is limited to Niang'er Village."

"Unless the one who is alive is also dead, they will die in the true sense. Otherwise, when they leave Niang'er Village safely, they will still be safe and sound."

I'm a little confused.

"Is it possible that a person can be resurrected after death?"

The old smoker laughed and said, "There's nothing so mysterious."

"What does that mean?" I asked incomprehensibly.

The old smoker looked at me and said, "What kind of place do you think Niang'er Village is?"

Without thinking too much, I replied directly: "Kuru Village."

"Desolate, lifeless."

The old smoker nodded, then asked again.

"Then do you know what kind of place Niang'er Village is in our eyes?"

My heart skipped a beat, and then I said with some uncertainty: "They said that Niang'er Village is one of the few walking married people left. There are girls everywhere here, and I am the only man, but I live here. Ten years……"

"What they said is not wrong." The old smoker interrupted me, "Niang'er Village can indeed be said to be one of the only remaining walking marriages. The reason why Niang'er Village is called Niang'er Village is because there are only woman."

"Then why do I..."

"Can't see anything?"

When I said this, my voice trembled a little.

The old smoker didn't answer me, but asked me again, "Do you know what a village guard is?"

I thought about it and shook my head.

It was not the first time I heard the word "Village Guard" at that time. When Liu Mingzhuang and the others came, they had already mentioned that I was a village guard, but when I heard them say it, I only thought that they said I was a village guard. People, it's just because I guard this village, that's all.

But the old smoker asked, which means it may not be that simple.

The old smoker was not surprised to see me shaking his head, but continued: "The village guards, also known as town spirit people, have five disadvantages and three deficiencies when they are born, one of the three souls is gone, and two of the seven souls are gone."

"So every villager is born with defects that are different from ordinary people. Most of them are stupid and crazy."

"But there are exceptions..."

"The old madman is an exception."

When talking about the old lunatic, the old smoker's eyes showed a little nostalgia.

"This brother of mine was not stupid or crazy when he was born. He was blinded by nature. Not only did he not have five disadvantages and three defects, but he even kept his three souls and seven spirits intact."

"But because of this, he was not seen since he was born."

"Why?" I couldn't help asking.

"Because the City God ordered Mao, he is the person whom the City God called for." The old smoker sighed, "So even if he has deceived the secret, if the City God wakes up and finds out in the future, his luck will become the misfortune of the whole village."

"City God order?" I frowned slightly.

The old smoker explained: "The so-called City God Dianmao can also be regarded as the City God choosing his own agent to guard a village for himself. The village guards are the agents selected by the City God, so they can also be called Zhenling. people."

"He deceived the secret, which naturally means that he deceived the City God."

"But hasn't the old lunatic lived well for decades?" I was a little puzzled.

According to what the old smoker said, unless the old lunatic has monstrous abilities, he will be unlucky sooner or later.

"So, he is sorry for the whole Niang'er Village!"
