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

"This old village chief is really good at talking. It's obviously murder, but he turned it into manslaughter and suicide. You know, murder, manslaughter and suicide are completely different in nature." Zhang Yuan took over Lin Luo's words with a sneer on his face.

Wu Shan's face changed slightly, turned his head to look at the cave behind him, and looked at the torch in his hand: "So what should we do now?"

Lin Luo looked through the hole above his head and looked outside. He found that the dark clouds in the sky had dissipated, and it seemed that the rain had stopped. He lowered his head and glanced at his watch. It was already past five in the afternoon. His eyes suddenly became solemn.

"Let's go back to the village first." Lin Luo suggested in a voice.

The three of them returned along the way they came and soon came to the entrance of the cave.

They saw that Zhao Qian's body was still curled up there, but he had no breath and curled up miserably.

The three stood aside silently.

Finally, Zhang Yuan broke the silence: "Burn him..."

Lin Luo and Wu Shan looked at each other and nodded. They found some dry firewood, lit the fire, and put Zhao Qian's body on it.

As the flames slowly devoured, Zhao Qian's figure gradually disappeared in the flames.

The three of them watched this scene quietly, and an indescribable emotion surged in their hearts.

They didn't know whether they were right or wrong, nor did they know whether this decision was correct.

When the flames gradually grew bigger, the three of them turned around and went down the mountain quickly.

Because it had just rained, the mountain road seemed particularly slippery, and crystal water droplets hung on the leaves and weeds around, as if they were tears of nature.

The three of them trotted all the way and soon returned to the village.

At this time, the sky had begun to become drowsy, as if covered by a layer of light gray gauze.

Although it was only about five o'clock, the sunset in the distance had only half of its red head exposed on the horizon, which combined with the drowsy sky seemed a little weird.

The time when the night comes seems to be faster than before!

As soon as the three of them stepped into the yard, they found a figure standing quietly in the middle of the yard.

It was a young man with a fair face. He turned his head, smiled at the three of them, and said softly: "Dear guests, you are back. The village chief asked me to invite you to dinner."

After that, he also looked in the direction of the setting sun, with a trace of doubt and surprise on his face, muttering to himself: "Why is the sky dark so quickly today? Did I remember the time wrong..."

Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other, and a solemn look flashed in their eyes, but they all nodded in agreement.

After all, they haven't eaten since morning, and their stomachs have been growling with hunger.

The three followed the fair-skinned young man. After they looked at his back, Zhang Yuan lowered his voice and said, "Sure enough, we are missing one person, and they don't seem to think there is anything strange about it."

Wu Shan also lowered his voice and responded, "Is it intentional, or are they confused by the ghost?"

The two of them discussed cautiously in a low voice.

Just then, the fair-skinned young man suddenly stopped, turned his head and said, "Oh, by the way, three distinguished guests, your companion has arrived first."

"Companion!?"

Hearing this, the eyes of the three trembled slightly, and they couldn't help but look at each other. Lin Luo's eyes showed a trace of vigilance. He asked directly, "Good rain knows the season!"

"Walking will definitely wet your shoes!" Wu Shan and Zhang Yuan answered in unison.

After the secret code, the three people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Watching the strange conversation between the three people, the fair-skinned young man couldn't help but touch the back of his head, muttering to himself: City people really know how to have fun...

They followed the fair-skinned young man to the square.

At this time, the whole square seemed particularly lively, as if a grand gathering was being held.

Bright light bulbs were pulled up around the square, and these lights were dotted in the night sky like stars, illuminating the entire square as bright as day.

And the stage in front of the square had been transformed into a stage for singing operas at some point, decorated with exquisite curtains and props.

Several people with Peking Opera masks painted on their faces were discussing something with the people in the village. They pointed in the direction of the stage from time to time, as if discussing the details of the next performance.

At the same time, in front of the stage, there were many tables and chairs, which were neatly arranged, as if waiting for the audience to come and take their seats.

Under the leadership of the fair-skinned young man, Lin Luo and the other two came to a table,There was a person sitting on top who shocked them.

He looked very embarrassed, his clothes were dirty, his hair was greasy and stuck to his scalp, and his face was covered with dust and sweat, as if he had just escaped from the battlefield.

He was holding the bowl and stuffing rice into his mouth desperately, one mouthful after another, without any pause, as if he was a starving ghost reincarnated.

His slightly curly yellow hair was like a chicken coop on his head, messy and without any image.

Seeing Lin Luo and the other two coming, the yellow-haired man just glanced at them briefly, then lowered his head to continue eating, his mouth bulging, and he swallowed it hastily before chewing it a few times, as if he didn't care about his image at all.

"Dear guests, please sit down first and eat first. I have other things to do." Looking at the yellow-haired man wolfing down his food, the fair-skinned young man smiled helplessly.

"Okay."

After the fair-skinned young man left, Lin Luo and the other two looked at each other, then walked to the opposite side of Huang Mao tacitly and sat down, waiting quietly.

After a while, seeing that Huang Mao had almost finished eating, Zhang Yuan asked tentatively with a serious face: "Why are you here?"

Hearing this, Huang Mao frowned tightly, and his face, which was originally pale due to hunger, became even more gloomy and ugly, and his tone became more and more impolite: "It's none of your business. If I wasn't lucky, I would have starved to death!"

After saying that, his face was full of murderous aura, staring at Lin Luo and the other two fiercely, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes, and asked with gritted teeth: "By the way, where are the damn guide and driver?"

He looked like he was obviously going to settle accounts with the female guide and the driver.

After all, in Huang Mao's view, if the two of them hadn't left him in this place where no one was going to live, perhaps he wouldn't have become so miserable.

Now, they must pay the price for what they did!

"He dropped us off at the entrance of the village and left." Lin Luo said calmly.

Hearing this, Huang Mao couldn't help but look at Lin Luo, Zhang Yuan and Wu Shan. Then he looked around and asked curiously, "Where is this place?" After asking, he didn't forget to look behind Lin Luo and the other two and the surrounding environment. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he continued to ask, "Also, where did the other people go? Why didn't I see them?"

Wu Shan's lips moved slightly, but in the end he just glanced at Huang Mao and didn't make any sound.

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and replied, "This is Taoyuan Village. As for the others..." He paused for a moment, staring at Huang Mao with a serious look, and then slowly said after a long while, "They are all dead."

Hearing this, Huang Mao was stunned at first, and then he exclaimed loudly in disbelief: "What? Dead?!" Then, he stared at Lin Luo and the other three with suspicious eyes, questioning: "Are you kidding me?"

Fortunately, there were no other diners near the table where they were, otherwise Huang Mao's exclamation would definitely attract the attention of others.
