Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 766

"You don't want to see it. You will regret it if you do." The worker added.

"Okay, I won't look, but you can tell me?" Shen Mengying continued to ask.

"I...actually haven't seen it before. When I ask others, they always tell me this." The worker hesitated for a few words before speaking again.

It looked like it was impossible to ask.

If you want to know the answer, you have to see it with your own eyes.

After a busy afternoon, Li Teng and Shen Mengying earned more than 50 points, which can be exchanged for a 20 kilogram bag of rice.

But both Li Teng and Shen Mengying were as dark as Africans.

After returning home, Zhang Mengdi boiled water for the two of them and prepared a change of clothes. The two of them washed it together for more than an hour before finishing it.

When I came out after washing, it was completely dark.

A kerosene lamp was lit on the dining table in the courtyard, and several lanterns hung next to it.

It was always overcast, there was no moon, and it would be pitch black unless a lamp was lit.

Li Teng's house is located at a relatively high level, and you can see the entire village below from the entrance of the courtyard.

Except for scattered lights, everything in the village was dark.

But the entrance to the village was very bright, and you could vaguely see Taoist priests and villagers gathering there.

"How long does it take to take a bath?" Zhang Mengdi asked Li Teng a little strangely.

"Well, my body is so dirty that it's hard to wash off. I also have to cut my fingernails and toenails, which are all filled with black coal." Li Teng explained.

"Indeed, you have worked too hard, let's have dinner." Zhang Mengdi went to the kitchen and put the hot meal on the table.

Li Teng was really hungry and ate several bowls of rice in one go.

"It's dark and dangerous, don't go out! If you don't listen to the advice, you will die!"

Some villagers patrolled the village road, beating gongs and shouting loudly.

"There are big secrets in this village after dark, secrets that you don't want people to know." Shen Mengying said and looked at Zhang Mengdi.

Zhang Mengdi is the plot NPC and is very familiar with the people in the village. It's impossible that he doesn't know anything, right?

"I don't know what the big secret is. Anyway, just don't go out after dark." Zhang Mengdi nodded quickly when he saw Shen Mengying looking at him.

"Is there anything scary outside the village?" Shen Mengying continued to ask Zhang Mengdi.

"I don't know. I heard it's very scary. I'll regret it after seeing it." Zhang Mengdi shook his head.

"Things you will regret after seeing them must be disgusting." Li Teng expressed his inference.

"Let's go take a look." Shen Mengying suggested to Li Teng.

"Don't! Didn't you listen to the shouting outside? It's dark and dangerous. Don't go out. If you don't listen to the advice, you will die!" Zhang Mengdi quickly dissuaded Shen Mengying.

"What do you mean?" Shen Mengying looked at Li Teng reluctantly.

Li Teng is the protagonist. Shen Mengying is not performing independently now, but is participating in the performance as a member of Li Teng's team. If she fails and her points are not enough, Li Teng's points will be deducted.

Her level is very low, she is just an ordinary extra, and she will only be deducted 10 points. Li Teng now has a four-digit point balance, so it doesn't really matter if she tries to die.

However, it would be different if Li Teng himself died. He was at the protagonist level. If he died, 640 points would be deducted.

Of course, his current points are enough for him to deduct points.

It's just that Li Teng has never failed before entering the world of scripts, and of course he doesn't want to ruin his undefeated golden body casually.

"In those horror movies, characters who don't listen to advice are quick to receive their lunch boxes." Li Teng thought for a while and answered Shen Mengying in a low voice.

"At worst, let me be cannon fodder! Help you explore the road and explore the plot?" Shen Mengying came up to Li Teng and whispered back.

Since Shen Mengying was willing to be cannon fodder, Li Teng had nothing to say and could only agree to her.

"Take me and Nana with you." When Zhang Mengdi heard that Li Teng was going out with Shen Mengying, he couldn't help but suggested it to him.

"It's dangerous outside. You and Nana should stay at home." Li Teng shook his head.

If he encounters any danger, he should have no problem rescuing Shen Mengying.

But with so many people, especially a child, it would be too much to balance.

"Then, don't go out for too long, Nana and I will be scared." Zhang Mengdi said to Li Teng in fear.

"Dad, I want to go out and play!" Nana ran over and hugged Li Teng's leg.

"Okay, let's go out together. But if there is any danger, you two will have to rely on yourselves. I can only protect Nana." Li Teng hesitated for a moment, then reached out and hugged Nana.

When you go out to commit suicide, your family must be in good order.

"Okay." Zhang Mengdi nodded.

Shen Mengying glanced at Li Teng and wanted to say something but couldn't.

…

The family went out.

Shen Mengying and Zhang Mengdi walked in front each carrying a lantern.

Li Teng followed behind with Nana in his arms.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

When passing the neighbor's courtyard door, Aunt Liu suddenly opened the door and yelled at Li Teng's family.

"Go out for a walk." Zhang Mengdi answered Aunt Liu.

"Didn't you hear the patrol call? It's dark and dangerous, don't go out! If you don't listen, you will die! Go home quickly!" Aunt Liu warned everyone.

"What is the danger? Do you know? If you don't know, are you sure there is danger? Didn't someone deliberately lie to you?" Shen Mengying asked Aunt Liu.

"Why do you have to risk your life? Forget it, it's up to you! As long as we don't get hurt!" Aunt Liu closed the courtyard door angrily.

"Really! Everyone only speaks half of what they say! Will you die if you tell me?" Shen Mengying seemed very angry.

"She means well." Zhang Mengdi muttered softly.

Shen Mengying said no more, and everyone continued walking towards the entrance of the village.

"Dad! There are so many people in front! It's so lively!" Nana suddenly said excitedly to Li Teng, and then struggled to get off the ground and walk on her own.

Li Teng didn't let her get off the ground.

The three adults looked forward together, and their scalps couldn't help but feel numb...

In front of the village is the ancestral hall. It is dark inside and there is an open space outside the ancestral hall with no one there.

"Did you see many people? Why can't we see them?" Shen Mengying asked Nana.

"They... just... entered the door together." Nana thought for a while and answered Shen Mengying.

"Children, don't develop the habit of lying!" Shen Mengying looked at the direction of the ancestral hall again.

"Nana has no habit of lying!" Zhang Mengdi was a little unhappy after hearing Shen Mengying's words.

"Let's go around here." Li Teng quickly changed the subject of the two women's conversation and changed the route instead of going through the ancestral hall.

"The house is so bright! There are so many beautiful lanterns! There is also an uncle hanging on the tree, are you playing a game? It's so fun!" Nana was still looking in the direction of the ancestral hall, with a little excitement on her face.

Chapter 767

"Hurry up!" Li Teng quickly urged the two girls, holding Nana in his arms and speeding up the pace.

Shen Mengying and Zhang Mengdi became a little panicked when they heard what Nana said, and quickly took a detour with lanterns.

Just when they reached the intersection, a black shadow suddenly jumped out, scaring Shen Mengying and Zhang Mengdi into screaming together.

"Woof! Woof woof!"

It was a big, muscular black dog, grinning and growling at everyone.

Li Teng quickly put Nana on the ground, then roared and kicked the big black dog.

The big black dog took a few steps back and continued barking at Li Teng.

Zhang Mengdi threw the lantern on the ground and protected Nana.

"Wangcai! Come back!" The door of a courtyard not far away opened, and a man shouted at the big black dog.

"Woof! Woof!" The big black dog yelled at Li Teng and others a few more times unwillingly, and then returned to the man. He was pulled back to the yard and closed the door.

"Walking around outside in the middle of the night, are you sick?"

"You want to die!"

"Indeed, I am getting tired of living!"

There was a conversation between a man and a woman in the man's yard.

"Are you okay?" Li Teng turned around and picked up Nana from Zhang Mengdi.

"Don't take the lantern! That belongs to my mother!" Nana struggled and shouted at the lantern on the ground.

It seemed that a gust of wind blew by, and the lantern Zhang Mengdi placed on the ground rolled towards the roadside.

Zhang Mengdi quickly walked over and picked up the lantern.

"Did you see anything again?" Shen Mengying asked Nana.

"There is a child who wants to take his mother's lantern." Nana answered Shen Mengying. The children she refers to are children who are about the same age as her.

"Did you see any children? Where has that child gone now?" Shen Mengying asked Nana again.

"He went there, he...he went inside." Nana pointed at the yard of the black dog man's house.

Shen Mengying and Li Teng looked at each other.

"Woof! Woof!" At this moment, the black dog in the yard of the black dog man's house suddenly started barking again, and the sound seemed to be a little frightened.

"Nana, if you see anyone else around, just tell daddy." Li Teng picked up Nana.

"Okay." Nana nodded happily.

The family continued to walk forward. Shen Mengying and Zhang Mengdi were obviously a little scared and deliberately moved closer to Li Teng. There were no street lights on the village road, and every household only lit kerosene lamps at home, which could illuminate a limited area.

The dim light of the lanterns in the hands of the two women could only illuminate the road a few meters ahead, and it was pitch black a little further away.

The village feels very eerie at night.

If it weren't for curiosity, Shen Mengying would have wanted to back out.

"Dad! There's someone in front!" Nana suddenly shouted.

There was indeed someone in front, and Li Teng and the other two saw it.

It was two men walking towards them.

They seemed to be two village cadres.

"What are you doing? Why are you running around at night? Don't you know the danger?"

Two village officials came over and questioned the family.

"What danger is there at night? Why don't you tell me? If you don't tell me, how do we know there is danger?" Shen Mengying retorted to the two of them.

She was planning to be cannon fodder for Li Teng anyway, so she simply pointed out everything.

"I don't let you come out at night. It's for your own good. Go home quickly!" The village cadre was obviously not prepared to explain anything.

"Are you doing something shameful at night? Are you afraid that we will see you?" Shen Mengying continued to commit suicide.

With Li Teng as her backer, she wasn't afraid of being beaten if she said the wrong thing... Who could beat Li Teng?

"Are you... coming back from outside? Don't you know the situation in the village?" The village cadre did not look angry after hearing Shen Mengying's words.

"Yes, tell us clearly if there is anything going on in the village or any danger at night! Maybe we can help." Shen Mengying also softened her tone.

"It was the Taoist priest who prevented the villagers from coming out at night. The Taoist priest said that there would be some unclean things wandering around the village at night, and it would be very troublesome if they got involved. The Taoist priest protects the safety of the village, and we don't listen to the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest will be unhappy, but we'd better not make the Taoist priest unhappy." The village cadre explained a few words to Shen Mengying.

"Then why are you two hanging around outside?" Shen Mengying questioned.

"We have the amulet given by the Taoist Priest." The man opened his coat and showed it to Shen Mengying. Sure enough, there was a yellow talisman on his inner clothes.

"It takes mana to make amulets for Taoist priests. We can't make amulets for everyone. It's safe for us to come out at night. You'd better not run around. It would be bad if you get something dirty." The man also added a few words.

"Is there anything strange happening in the ancestral hall? Is there a man hanging from a tree?" Shen Mengying remembered what Nana said just now, so she tentatively mentioned it to the two village cadres.

"No, did you see anything?" The village cadre was a little confused.

"No." Li Teng quickly stopped the topic. He didn't want these people to know that Nana could see things that normal people couldn't.

"Go home quickly! Before you get dirty," the village cadre continued to persuade everyone.

"We are going to the entrance of the village to see if there is anything scary outside the village. Will you regret it after seeing it?" Shen Mengying continued to test.

"Oh, those things... you don't want to see them. You will definitely regret it if you see them. Listen to my advice and go home quickly!" The village cadre waved his hand.

"Is it disgusting? We must go to the village entrance to see it with our own eyes." Shen Mengying insisted.

"You must seek death, and we can't stop you. But when you arrive at the entrance of the village, don't contradict the Taoist priest, and don't violate their rules. If you anger the Taoist priest, it will not be good for our entire village." Two people. The village cadres were a little unhappy, but they did not forcefully stop everyone.

"Thanks for the reminder, we know how to do it." Shen Mengying glanced at Li Teng.

Li Teng nodded, and the family walked around the two of them and continued walking towards the entrance of the village.

"Dad, what did those three people do just now?" Nana asked Li Teng after walking for a while.

"Three people... Nana, are you seeing three people?" Li Teng glanced at Nana in his arms.

"Yes, the aunt standing behind them seems to be injured, with a lot of blood on her face." Nana answered Li Teng.

"Nana, did you see anyone following us?" Shen Mengying looked forward and back, feeling a little panicked.

"Yes!" Nana looked below herself.
