Strange talk live room

"It took you a whole day to come to me, what's the use?"

"The people in the village were looking for Xiuhong and Dongqing like crazy. Unfortunately, they followed Jiang Yongyan and seemed to disappear from this world, never to come back."

Mu Bai sighed sadly.

"Disappeared? Has no one gone to the mountains to look for it? Even if there is danger, the body can still be found." I wondered.

"I searched in the mountains, but no one was alive, and no corpses were found dead." Mu Bai shook his head, and suddenly looked up out of the window again, with awe in his eyes.

I frowned slightly: "Are there large beasts in the mountains?"

"Maybe." Mu Bai hesitated, swallowed his words after hesitating, and changed his words: "Since then, there have been no newborn children in our village, let alone girls."

"Those of the younger generation like me who can go out have gone out, leaving these old people in the village, and their lives are getting worse every year."

"Because of this, the village is very disgusted and hateful to people from outside, especially men."

Mu Bai smiled at me.

"So, Boss Li, can you understand their mood now?"

"I understand, I understand. It would be the same if it were me." I nodded, but there were still many questions in my heart.

I have a certain understanding of the reasons for xenophobia in this village, but it seems that there is more to it than that, but he didn't say it out loud.

Jiang Yongyan is simply a mysterious man. What method did he use to get the two girls to enter the mountains with him, and what was he looking for in the mountains?

Also, why was his grandmother the only one in the village who distrusted Jiang Yongyan?

All of the above seem to have nothing to do with this live broadcast at present.

I was very curious about what Mu Bai was about to say, but he obviously didn't want to say it, and I couldn't ask more questions.

"Boss Li, I'm going out to fetch some water." After saying a lot in one breath, Mu Bai picked up the water ladle but found that there was no water in the water tank, so he picked up a pair of old buckets from the side.

"I'm going to help you." There will be a live broadcast tonight. My ability to stay here depends entirely on Mu Bai. Of course I have to do something.

Of course, I also want to go out and walk around more, maybe I can discover something.

Mu Bai said hello to his grandmother and took me out.

The sun was blazing.

The village was quiet, everyone seemed to be taking a nap, and no one would go out to work at this time.

The well is at the east end of the village, and Mu Bai's house is at the west end of the village. Carrying water has to go through the entire village.

Mu Bai and I were the only two people on the small road in the village.

The old-fashioned hand-operated well was filled with a faint cool air. Standing on the edge of the well and looking down, it was bottomless, and our blurred reflections were reflected in the dark water.

The wooden bucket dropped the water with a crash, and the handle made a creaking sound. Mu Bai moved skillfully and quickly fetched a bucket of water.

I helped him pour well water into his own bucket.

The clear well water is crystal clear under the sun, as if there is no trace of impurities.

Suddenly, a black thread flashed in the water.

what?

I put the bucket down and took a closer look.

On the sparkling water, a long, black hair swayed gently with the waves.

"Maybe someone accidentally fell in when fetching water." Mu Bai was stunned for a moment, took his long hair out of the bucket and threw it aside.

I didn't say anything, I was muttering in my heart.

This hair is black in color and should belong to a young girl, but aren't there only old people left in the village?

I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel like this hair is alive.

I looked back again, and my heart skipped a beat. There was only a trace of water on the ground, and the long black hair disappeared.

what happened?

I was stunned.

"Boss Li, the water is ready. It's too hot outside. Let's go back quickly." Mu Bai waved his hand to me and used the pole to pass through the bucket rope.

"I'll carry it with you."

He didn't seem to notice the change in his hair. I suppressed the doubts in my heart and walked back with him, carrying two buckets of water.

Looking back, the water stains on the ground were also dried up.

A hair doesn't mean much, but I'm glad I didn't drink the water from the cup.

Mu Bai returned home, boiled a pot of water, made two more cups of tea, and sat with me in the main room chatting.

He was very interested in the live broadcast and asked a lot of related questions, and I answered all the questions I could.

Throughout the afternoon, his grandmother did not come out of the bedroom. The room was gloomy and cool, and I always felt that the old woman had been looking at me with unkind eyes.

What did she mean by her previous warning to me? I have no grievances with Mu Bai, so how could I try to take advantage of him, unless he was related to this live broadcast mission.

Who is the cursed person?

So far, I haven't heard anything related to a curse.

Mu Bai didn't reveal anything related to the village to me anymore. I made some insinuations, but he only said that as long as he was here, even if I was doing a live broadcast in the village, no villagers would come out to interfere with me.

I don't know where his confidence comes from, but this is always good for me.

Time passed by, and the noisy cicadas gradually disappeared. As the sun set, I decided to seize the time and go to the village for a walk.

"Boss Li, why don't I go out with you after dinner, so that they don't trouble you again." Mu Bai was preparing to cook.

"It's okay. I can just go around by myself. I don't need to bother you with anything. Didn't you tell me that you brought me into the village? They won't say anything."

I smiled at him and walked out without waiting for him to say anything.

"Then remember to come back before dark!" Mu Bai said to my back.

"knew."

After leaving Mu Bai's house, I walked slowly in the village against the setting sun.

From the moment I entered Yueyuan Village, it has been extremely quiet. Except for the chirping of cicadas and the chirping of birds, I couldn't hear any sounds of poultry.

Maybe the people in this village don’t have the habit of raising poultry?

I always feel weird, but I can't put my finger on what's wrong.

At this time, the villagers all came back from the fields with their farm tools. I met several of them on the road, but they all hurriedly avoided me as if they were avoiding the god of plague.

I tried to find someone to ask a few questions, but I couldn't find anyone.

Passing by the door of a farmhouse, I saw the old farmer who had driven me away at noon. He was standing at the door of his low courtyard with a hoe, looking at me with a sullen face.

Maybe it was because of the dark sky, but his expression was particularly gloomy, and he looked particularly scary.

He was the only person in the village who didn't hide when he saw me.

"Hello, uncle, it was just a misunderstanding at noon today." I walked over, took out a cigarette and handed it to the old farmer, showing a kind smile, hoping to get something out of his mouth.

"I don't take things from dead people." The old farmer said with a dark face and closed the courtyard door with a bang.
