Chapter 6 After Dark
Chapter 6 After Dark
"What's the name of your village?"
"Which mountain do those bandits live on? Which direction does that old man live in?"
Zhang Hao felt that this old man and this group of bandits might be related to the strange situation in this village.
So he asked Lichun.
"Our village is called Tubo Village."
"I can't remember the old man's name, but he lived about thirty miles north of the village."
"But we don't dare to leave the village during the day, so we are not sure."
"As for those bandits, we don't know which hill they are from."
Lichun's answer didn't contain much useful information.
Zhang Hao could be sure that the old man was almost a hundred years old.
"The old man disappeared once, and the village happened to be conscripted during that time."
"After there were no men in the village, bandits often came to rob, and many women in the village were abducted by bandits."
Zhang Hao kept thinking in his mind.
"After that, the old man came back and set the rules, and the bandits no longer dared to break into the village and rob people."
For some reason, Zhang Hao always had a feeling that the old man was the driving force behind all this.
From the information I got from Lichun, all this was too much of a coincidence.
As soon as the old man disappeared, the village was conscripted.
If we talk about it from a supernatural perspective, does this mean that there is something wrong with the old man himself?
Or perhaps, judging from the behavior of the ghost handlers in the Republic of China, is he dismembering his own spirit?
The men in the village represent the evil spirits that have been dismembered.
The arrival of bandits and the looting of women in the village, Zhang Hao was able to come up with two interpretations.
First, the bandits represent the old man’s spiritual imbalance, and they are destroying the village, which is the balance of the old man’s spiritual balance.
Secondly, the bandits represent the dismembered parts of the spirit.
The supernatural forces represented by these bandits robbed the women in the village, but in fact they were trying to steal their supernatural powers.
Just like a puzzle that has been dismembered, you will want to grab more pieces.
Afterwards, the old man set new rules and the bandits acted according to them.
Does this mean that the old man has regained his balance?
However, it is meaningless to just speculate. Everything will have to wait until we meet those so-called bandits at night.
Because I didn't need to eat, after I found out the news.
After saying something to Lichun, Zhang Hao took his bride into the room to rest.
"We've just settled down, and it's already starting?"
Lichun looked at the closed door, full of resentment.
A man and a woman entered the room. Without even looking, she could guess what this couple was going to do.
Unfortunately, everything in the room was different from what Lichun expected.
After bringing the bride into the room, the bride sat down beside the bed, while Zhang Hao took a stool and went to the window to look outside.
Time passed slowly.
The sky outside had always been dark, but as night fell, it became eerily darker.
"Coming?"
Zhang Hao looked outside. As night fell, he vaguely saw figures appearing in the distance.
Judging from their body shapes, they are probably not women, but men.
"Bang bang bang!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Young man, open the door. It's getting dark. I'll bring you an oil lamp."
Zhang Hao heard the sound outside the door, thought for a moment, and then opened the door.
He was not too worried because the Corpse Bride was also in the room. If there was any danger, the Corpse Bride would be able to handle it.
The door opened, and the person standing outside was not Lichun, but the young widow, Lian'er, who was there during the day.
"How did you come?"
Zhang Hao was a little surprised. Judging from what Lichun and Lian'er said during the day, they shouldn't have a good relationship. "Hehe, isn't it getting dark?"
"That Lichun guy didn't even bother to prepare oil lamps for you."
A bright smile appeared on Lian'er's pretty face.
"That's why I brought you the oil lamp."
"By the way, my sister cooked some double skin milk, would you like to try it?"
As she spoke, Lian'er raised her soft chest and looked at Zhang Hao with a seductive look on her face.
It is said that nothing tastes better than dumplings, but widows are just as delicious as dumplings.
Lian'er just didn't believe that Zhang Hao had no feelings for her, a twenty-four or twenty-five year old widow.
Sure enough, after Zhang Hao took the oil lamp and put it away, he reached out and grabbed Lian'er's back and arms, as if he wanted to hug her.
Seeing this scene, Lian'er's face showed joy.
However, the next scene disappointed Lian'er.
After Zhang Hao's hand touched her back, he grabbed her arm with his other hand, forced her to turn around, and then pushed her out of the room.
"boom!"
The sound of the door closing was heard. Lian'er heard it and walked downstairs in a depressed mood.
"Haha, what's wrong? Did you fail again, little slut?"
Lichun looked at Lian'er coming down from upstairs with interest.
"If you want a man so badly, you might as well not go back to your room at midnight."
"When the time comes, let the bandits take you away. You can have as many men as you want, right?"
Lichun said jokingly.
Upon hearing this, Lian'er frowned, a thoughtful look on her face.
"No, you're not really tempted, are you?"
Seeing Lian'er's expression, Lichun's face froze.
"You have to think carefully. There are so many bandits. You can't handle it alone."
Hearing this, Lian'er's frown relaxed and she seemed to have reacted.
She looked at the beauty of her chest, then turned her head away proudly.
"Hehehe, I am not the kind of woman who is so hungry that she won't choose what she eats."
"In that case, stay here with your sister to rest today. It's late at night and it's not safe to go out."
Lichun was relieved to hear that Lian'er was not abducted by the bandits.
"Forget it, it's better to go back to your own home."
Lian'er hesitated for a moment, but she had never lived in someone else's house before, so she refused.
Without waiting for Lichun to say anything, Lian'er opened the door and walked towards her home.
Seeing this, Lichun shook her head and said nothing more.
Although it was dark, based on past experience, the bandits should not be able to enter the village so quickly.
It's still safe here for now.
However, after leaving Lichun's house, Lian'er did not rush back to her room to rest after returning home.
She lit a lamp at the door, then moved a stool and sat on the second floor, looking towards the door.
She planned to see what these bandits looked like tonight.
Time continues to pass.
Soon, footsteps were heard in the village.
Dull footsteps sounded in the village, and figures moved around in every corner of the village.
Zhang Hao stood by the window, looking at the figure below, thinking constantly in his heart.
These bandits seemed to come every night, but they would not break into houses.
Doesn’t it look weird when you look at it this way?
There is obviously no benefit, but I still come here every night to waste time.
