The ghost knocked on the door, luckily I was able to read the save file!

"What!?" Zhang Yuan was shocked, his heart seemed to be hit hard by a heavy hammer, and his face was full of disbelief.

His heartbeat seemed to stop at this moment, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he took a step back involuntarily.

He stared at Wu Shan with wide eyes, his eyes full of doubt and fear, as if he wanted to find the answer from his face.

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Zhang Yuan asked again, as if he didn't hear it clearly, and seemed to be reluctant to admit it.

Wu Shan's face was as pale as paper, bloodless, his lips trembled slightly, and he seemed to have no strength to speak.

He nodded with difficulty, and his eyes revealed an unconcealable fear.

He recalled the scene he had just seen, and couldn't help shuddering again, saying painfully: "He...his eyes really turned, and he looked at me..."

"I...I definitely didn't see it wrong!" Looking at Zhang Yuan with an ugly face, Wu Shan's voice was crying, as if he wanted to prove that what he said was true.

Zhang Yuan took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down, but the waves in his heart were difficult to calm down.

After a while, he finally adjusted his mentality and began to think.

If the other party could really see, then he should have discovered Wu Shan long ago. But why did the other party pretend not to see it?

This question was like a huge mystery, lingering in his mind, making him confused.

"Since he saw you, why did he pretend not to see it?" Zhang Yuan couldn't help asking Wu Shan.

Wu Shan was stunned, with a puzzled look on his face.

Yes, since the old man had already discovered him, why did he pretend not to see it?

Zhang Yuan's question made Wu Shan fall into deep thought, and he began to think about the reason.

Is it because the old man is afraid that if they find him, it will cause a conflict, or even be killed? If so, pretending not to see it may be a strategy to avoid angering them.

Wu Shan told Zhang Yuan about this idea, and Zhang Yuan nodded, indicating that this possibility exists.

However, Zhang Yuan's expression did not relax because of this, but frowned.

He then said doubtfully: "But, if I am not mistaken, what he is holding in his hand should be a guide stick used by the blind, right?"

This sentence made Wu Shan's face turn pale instantly, and he realized that this detail seemed to contradict the previous speculation.

If the other party is a real blind person, then the movement of his eyeballs just now seems very abnormal, and it is completely unlike the performance of a blind person.

But if he is pretending to be blind, how to explain the blind stick in his hand? This made Wu Shan fall into deep thought.

Suddenly, Wu Shan seemed to think of something, but shook his head uncertainly.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any ideas?"

Wu Shan hesitated for a few seconds, then looked at Zhang Yuan and said slowly, "I think... could it be that the old man has been pretending to be blind?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan's eyes changed, and he asked in a deep voice, "You mean, he was pretending before?"

"Hmm?"

"Then why did he pretend to be blind?"

While the two were thinking, a figure slowly walked over from the corner.

"What clues have you found?" Lin Luo, who had just come out of Li Bing's house, asked curiously at Wu Shan and Zhang Yuan, who looked a little ugly.

Seeing Lin Luo coming, Wu Shan and Zhang Yuan looked at each other, and Wu Shan briefly told Lin Luo about the situation just now.

And they also told Lin Luo about their guesses just now.

Hearing this, Lin Luo's eyes were in deep thought. He thought for a moment, and then he said softly; "There are only two situations for pretending to be blind. The first is that the eyes were blind before, and then they got better, but he continued to pretend to be blind." His tone was full of thought.

After speaking, he paused, looked at the two people with frowns, and continued; "The second is to avoid something, or to survive, so he had to pretend to be blind."

Finally, Lin Luo added in a serious tone; "But no matter what the situation is, there must be a reason."

"To survive?" Thinking of the second situation Lin Luo just mentioned, Zhang Yuan's eyes flickered constantly.

Wu Shan also kept muttering; "To survive? To survive?"

"Did he discover something? So he pretended to be blind?"

"It's possible."

"Where is that old man?"

Lin Luo asked about the old man's location.

"Go back?" Zhang Yuan immediately understood what Lin Luo meant, and he saidThe air was a little heavy, and a trace of fear flashed across his face.

Although he knew that the old man was pretending to be blind, he was still inevitably frightened just now.

Especially Wu Shan, the person involved, his face was a little pale.

"We must go back. The old man may know the secret of the village."

Lin Luo's tone was full of seriousness.

"Then go back."

Looking at Lin Luo's serious look, Zhang Yuan naturally knew the current situation. He gritted his teeth and nodded.

And Wu Shan also gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

The three of them walked quickly towards the village chief's house. Along the way, Wu Shan carefully told Lin Luo about the situation just now.

This time, the three of them found the pomelo tree with ease. Seeing that there was no one around, the three of them quickly climbed over the wall and entered the yard.

"Second floor."

Coming to the stairs, Zhang Yuan glanced at Lin Luo and pointed to the direction of the second floor.

"Yeah." Nodding slightly, Lin Luo took the lead and walked upstairs carefully.

Arriving on the second floor, Lin Luo had already learned from Wu Shan the room where the old man was, and he hurried directly to the last room.

The room was still half-closed, and it seemed that the previous tense atmosphere still remained.

Lin Luo gently pushed the door open, and the door hinge made a slight friction sound. He walked into the room carefully.

The light in the room was still dim, as if it was shrouded by a thick layer of haze.

Lin Luo looked around vigilantly, paying attention to every corner.

Behind him, Wu Shan and Zhang Yuan followed closely, and their faces were full of tension and fear.

Lin Luo slowly walked towards the inner door, and when his hand was about to touch the door handle, a cough suddenly came from the room. Then, a hoarse old man's voice sounded: "Ahem, cough, are you the distinguished guests of the village?"

Lin Luo's face instantly became serious, and Wu Shan and Zhang Yuan involuntarily took a few steps back. Their eyes were full of vigilance and uneasiness.

Lin Luo took a deep breath and stabilized his emotions. He looked at the watch in his hand, confirmed the time, and then pushed the door open without hesitation.

As the door opened, a stale smell came to his face.

The light inside the room was even dimmer than outside, and it was almost pitch dark.

Lin Luo squinted his eyes, trying to adapt to the darkness. His heartbeat gradually accelerated, and various possible scenarios kept emerging in his mind.
