It’s over, I’m surrounded by weirdos and players

Chapter 131 It’s hard to distinguish between true and false (4214 words in total)

"Damn foreigners, I must report to the village chief and teach them a lesson!"

Uncle Qian came over angrily.

Lin Yi carefully probed: "Now that there is no yellow incense, is it true that no one can go in to burn incense anymore?"

Uncle Qian frowned and said, "Not really. People in the village use red incense, and yellow incense is for non-locals like you."

The other party's words confirmed Lin Yi's suspicion that there was indeed something wrong with Xiang.

He showed an expression of realization and asked pretending to be worried: "What if an outsider wants to come over?"

"The ancestral hall is such an important place that it shouldn't be open to outsiders." Uncle Qian snorted dissatisfiedly, "If the village chief hadn't insisted on holding some kind of cultural display, none of them would have thought of coming in."

After speaking, Uncle Qian glanced at Lin Yi, who was standing beside him, and added: "Of course I'm not talking about you. You are the eldest nephew and cannot be considered a complete outsider."

"I understand." Lin Yi smiled and continued to ask: "What is a cultural exhibition? Is there such an event in the village? I have never heard my aunt mention it?"

Uncle Qian got angry when he mentioned this, "I don't know who the evil person is who put the photos of our village on some broken network or something, and then every once in a while, foreigners come to visit."

Lin Yi stood at the door and said goodbye to Uncle Qian.

"Let me tell you, many people in the village have been dissatisfied for a long time. It's just because of the little money that they suppressed their anger."

Lin Yi knows this truth well.

You can hear dissatisfaction with foreigners from Uncle Qian's tone. I'm afraid it's not just because of the ancestral hall, there should be other problems inside.

Sure enough, Uncle Qian had a smile on his face after hearing this, and he felt quite beautiful in his heart.

Only slight footsteps could be heard moving.

"Maybe I can get some spiritual energy and help me learn a few more words."

"I heard that they are all from well-known universities, and they are all powerful cultural figures. If I didn't have to guard the ancestral hall, I would really like to see them."

"Said this can improve economic efficiency and bring some income to the village."

There was a hint of envy and yearning in Uncle Qian's tone.

Looking at Lin Yi's appearance, he was much more pleasing to the eye.

"It's admirable that you are so studious at your age."

Uncle Qian walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back, "I don't have Huang Xiang, and I am not a local villager. Entering the ancestral hall will make the ancestors unhappy, and it is easy to get bad luck and become unlucky."

But why do people in the village seem so repulsive to outsiders?

You must know that the reason why Yunlai Village has developed into what it is now is all thanks to a village chief a hundred years ago.

So what role does the inspection team play here?

Was it designed intentionally?

Lin Yi thought for a while and asked: "In addition to receiving foreign tourists, has the village received anyone else before?"

Lin Yi: "What would happen if three yellow incense didn't come in?"

Uncle Qian thought for a long time and replied: "Our place is very remote, where would anyone else come. Those tourists only came after seeing the photos."

The village chief read books outside, returned to the village with knowledge, and helped the village with construction and development.

Every once in a while, foreigners will come to travel, most likely those players.

According to Uncle Qian, only foreign tourists coming to Yunlai Village every once in a while are fixed.

"Apart from the village chief, there are only a few money-grubbing guys who are willing to get together and have a chat."

"But this time, in addition to the tour group, there is also a group of people from the inspection group."

Uncle Qian walked to the gate and waved his hand, "Then I don't know."

After saying that, the other party stared at the stone lion at the door intentionally or unintentionally, then took out the key and locked the door.

"Everyone else is doing more than doing less, and they don't have a good attitude towards outsiders."

Don't know who is hiding there.

Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.

Lin Yi followed behind and continued to ask: "What kind of bad luck?"

Lin Yi asked again: "Isn't it a good thing to increase income? It can make the living conditions of the people in the village better. Maybe the roads outside will be repaired and developed."

Until now, the ancestral hall holds a grand memorial ceremony every year to express gratitude to the village chief.

"Okay, I'm closing the door. Nine sticks of incense have already been lit in the ancestral hall today, no more can be added."

The people in the village were very grateful to the village chief, and they also had a different impression of the scholar.

"But our village only has such a small area, and there is nothing special about it. The village chief sent a message to treat the ancestral hall as a special attraction in the village and display it."

It took thirty years to help Yunlai Village break the poverty-stricken situation.

After Uncle Qian felt better, his tone of voice became much softer.

After the person left, Lin Yi moved his ears slightly and glanced behind him. He was blocked by the tall stone lion and could not see clearly the person hiding behind.

After Lin Yi heard this, he had a bigger doubt in his heart.

For educated people who can read, both he and other people in the village instinctively have a sense of awe.

"If you have anything else to ask, please ask quickly. I'll be closed later."

"Development? I think it's just a fool's errand." Uncle Qian shook his head helplessly, "Since these outsiders came to the village, things have popped up one after another, making the village a mess every time. The dog jumped.”

He withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward.

This trip to the ancestral hall still yielded a lot.

Ke Shaoyun and Bian Yi were not as innocent and harmless as they seemed, and they concealed and obscured a lot of information from him.

If Lin Yi hadn't decided to visit the ancestral hall on his own, he didn't know how long he would have been deceived.

I thought they were easy-to-control people, but it turned out that each of them had his or her own version of Xiao Jiujiu.

interesting.

Lin Yi raised his lips and smiled. He wanted to see what Ke Shaoyun and Bian Yi would do after the news about opening the ancestral hall in advance to worship their ancestors came out.

Will you cancel your plans for tonight?

If it were not cancelled, without Huang Xiang, they would probably be in a lot more danger.

Halfway through the road, Lin Yi saw Ke Shaoyun talking to two strange players under a big tree not far away, but Bian Yi was not nearby.

Did the two of them act separately?

At the same time, Ke Shaoyun also saw Lin Yi, and their eyes collided in the air.

"Hi, what a coincidence, we meet again." Ke Shaoyun changed his past style and became very warm and friendly.

He waved to Lin Yi and trotted over, "Lin, how are you doing there today? Is everything going well?"

Lin Yi didn't understand what the other party's sudden operation meant and said nothing.

The two players behind him came closer. One of them was tall and thin, wearing a black camouflage uniform and a cold face.

His whole body exuded an aura that kept strangers away from him, and he looked very uncomfortable to talk to.

The other one has a relatively stronger figure. His brown leather jacket is open to reveal his chest, which is wrapped in a white T-shirt. It is broad and powerful.

Lin Yi guessed that the other party was quite good at fitness and had strong muscles.

"Ke Shaoyu, why are you still so naive? You will suffer a loss if you believe in others too easily." The camouflage player's awkward statement, which seemed indifferent but actually contained a hint of concern, made Lin Yi slightly change his mind.

He thought that the relationship between the other party and Ke Shaoyun was not good, but he didn't expect that it didn't sound that bad.

But what's going on with Ke Shaoyun's state?

"Oh, you are just worrying too much. Is Lin on good terms with me?" Ke Shaoyun continued to fire enthusiastic bombs at Lin Yi, "right, Lin?" He winked secretly at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi didn't know why and simply replied: "Yeah."

He didn't know what kind of medicine Ke Shaoyun was selling in his gourd, but considering that the other party could still use it, there was no harm in cooperating first.

"Look, I told you that Lin is different, not that kind of person."

Ke Shaoyun smiled and turned to look at the cold-faced camouflage player, then turned his head and introduced Lin Yi: "The thinner one is Ah Qi, and the one next to him is Ah Jiu."

"Hello." Lin Yi greeted politely.

Ah Jiu smiled and replied "Hello".

As for Ah Qi, she ignored Lin Yi's words and turned her head to the side, seemingly full of hostility towards Lin Yi.

Ke Shaoyun quickly jumped out to smooth things over, "Ah Qi is like this, he doesn't like to talk."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Qi snorted in a disgraceful way, turned around and left.

When Ah Jiu saw this, he didn't want to stay much longer. He smiled apologetically at Ke Shaoyun and Lin Yi, and followed them.

"What's going on?" Lin Yi asked.

Ke Shaoyun briefly explained a few words.

The two people just now were the helpers he asked to help them search for clues.

As the saying goes, one more person means more effort, and more people have greater power.

Lin Yi listened to Ke Shaoyun's talk. If he hadn't known the true identities of these people, he might have believed them.

These days, scheming is everywhere, it’s terrible.

"In short, this is the situation now." Ke Shaoyun concluded, then looked to Lin Yi to ask if there was any new news.

Lin Yi was silent for a moment and finally decided to open an ancestral hall to worship his ancestors.

"So what you're saying is that if we want to go to the ancestral hall to investigate the truth and examine the body, we have to do it tonight?" Ke Shaoyun frowned slightly and doubted what Lin Yi said.

He and others walked around the village and heard nothing about ancestor worship at the ancestral hall.

"I just thought that after worshiping the ancestors, the corpse would not be left in the ancestral hall." Lin Yi did not miss the flash of suspicion in Ke Shaoyun's eyes, and continued to analyze according to the information he got: "Besides, the corpse will be there after tonight No one can say whether it will be another one."

Ke Shaoyun also understands the principle of late change.

I still didn't fully believe Lin Yi's words. In the end, he just said vaguely, "I'll take a look and make preparations."

"Okay, after all, you are the one taking the risk. Let me know when the time is determined." Lin Yi didn't say anything more. Anyway, he could think of other ways, but it was just a little more troublesome.

After the conversation ended, Ke Shaoyun walked in the direction where the two players left.

Lin Yi glanced at the other party's back lightly, shook his head and turned to leave.

The weather became gloomy again.

Although it was not yet six o'clock in the evening, the sky was already dyed with a faint layer of gray.

The cold wind blew by, bringing with it bursts of biting chill, which made Lin Yi shiver.

He felt the chill seep into his bones bit by bit through his clothes.

The villagers hurried home in twos and threes, and the path suddenly became deserted.

As soon as Lin was walking on the street, he noticed that the red lanterns hanging outside the houses were gradually lighting up. He hurriedly and slowly finally returned to the door of Director Li's house before it got completely dark.

The big red lantern hanging at the door exuded bursts of warmth, dispelling some of the chill in his body.

After stepping through the door, the temperature continued to rise, and soon my whole body felt warm.

He looked down at his phone and saw that the time stayed at six o'clock.

Chill, red lantern, temperature, six o'clock.

Lin Yi continued to walk forward thoughtfully, secretly wondering if six o'clock was also a safe time.

If you don't find a place to stay with a red lantern after six o'clock in the evening, something will happen.

"Xiao Lin, are you back?"

Director Li was about to go out to find someone when he saw Lin Yizheng walking in. He quickly went up to him and shouted, "Come on, come on, it's time to eat."

The other party pushed Lin Yi down on the dining table, poured a glass of shaobai liquor and handed it to Lin Yi, "Drink quickly to warm yourself up."

"No, I'm not very cold." Lin Yi declined with a smile.

"Okay, if you feel cold, just take a few sips by yourself." Director Li didn't force it and finished the glass of wine by himself.

After taking their seats, Lin Yi discovered that he and Director Li were the only ones eating.

"Why don't we wait for them to come back and eat together?"

"They are sleeping outside today and will not come back for dinner. Your sister-in-law is still helping at Laojiu's house, and the two dolls went to play at a friend's house."

Director Li held up his chin, looked out the window, and said quietly: "We are the only ones left, relying on each other."

"Brother, eat the food, eat the food, don't let it get cold." Lin Yigan laughed. He didn't expect that Director Li looked very stable and had so many inner dramas.

Director Li sighed and moved his chopsticks.

After dinner, a villager carrying a red lantern knocked on the door of Director Li's house.

Lin Yi vaguely heard a few words, which seemed to be explaining the matter of worshiping ancestors in the ancestral hall.

After a while, Director Li came over and explained: "Xiao Lin, I have something to do and I have to go out temporarily. You should stay at home alone and don't go out."

As he said this, the other person walked into the kitchen and didn't know what he was doing.

Two minutes later, the man walked out of the kitchen, carrying a bright red lantern, and left the house with the villagers.

Bring an umbrella during the day and a lantern at night.

Lin Yi looked at the disappearing figures of the two people. After confirming that they would not come back, he turned and entered the kitchen.

The kitchen is clean and tidy, and every item is placed in order.

The tabletop is also spotless, and both the chopping board and the kitchen knife have been cleaned.

Lin Yi's eyes scanned the surroundings, searching every place carefully without missing a corner.

Finally the target item was found in the top cabinet.

Several folded red lanterns.

He carefully took down a big red lantern and unfolded it.

The red lantern is made of red paper, which is the same material as the paper-cuts seen during the day.

There is no pattern decoration on it, it seems to be an ordinary lantern.

Lin Yi looked around carefully for several times, but didn't find anything special.

"Is it the same kind of lantern?" He stood in the yard uncertainly holding a big red lantern, and took out the lighter he found in the kitchen to try it out.

There was a click, and a bright light came out of the lighter.

Strange things happened.

No matter how Lin Yi lit it, the wick in the red lantern could never be lit.
