Su Qingyu remained calm: "I broke up with him, and then I started dating a new boyfriend, the one next to me, his name is Wuxin."
Mrs. Zhang moved away from Wuxin and leaned towards Su Qingyu, muttering, "You got a new boyfriend so soon? What a shame, what a shame. I wanted to introduce our Erniu to you. He's so fair and tender. It's a waste of money."
Su Qingyu asked doubtfully, "Are people in this village not allowed to be single?"
Mrs. Zhang said mysteriously, "As the old saying goes, yin alone cannot grow, and yang alone cannot grow.
According to the custom in our village, women have a sacred mission and must have a partner to avoid disaster."
"But I saw a lot of single men and women in the village."
"They all lost their partners." Mrs. Zhang's voice became low and hoarse, like the sound of shoes breaking on dead leaves.
Halfway through the journey, it was already completely dark. Mrs. Zhang lit the lantern, and the faint light illuminated the mountain road ahead.
The cold is getting worse.
Mrs. Zhang seemed to be very afraid of Wuxin. After sending them to the village entrance, she left in a hurry.
After dawn tomorrow, they will need to go up the mountain by themselves.
Among the adobe houses at the entrance of the village, only a few had lights on.
In the house with the lights on, a big black dog was lying on the straw mat and sleeping at the door.
When approached, they prick up their ears and wag their tails.
When the black dog in Su Qingyu's arms saw his companion, the intensity of his body trembled much less.
"We need to find a house to stay for the night." The evening breeze was chilly, and the mountains were overwhelming, giving a very oppressive feeling.
Wu Xin raised his pale chin and looked up at the locust tree: "There is something on the tree."
After saying that, Wuxin nimbly stepped on the tree trunk, jumped onto the treetop, and took down a red envelope with the word "喜" written on it. Inside the red envelope was a piece of red paper and one hundred paper money for the dead.
At this moment, Su Qingyu deeply realized what it means that you get what you pay for.
Expensive means useful.
The new rules are written on the red paper.
[Gongyang Village]Rules (Part 1)
[8. Water is sacred and pure. If you choose to live at the entrance of the village, try to choose a house with a well.
Place water by the bed at night. If you feel water dripping on your face, don't panic. Leave the room.
[9. There is no signal on the mountain, but there is a signal at the entrance of the village. The signal can help you find what you need.
Be careful when using the camera function of your phone, as the lens can capture things that are invisible to the naked eye. Remember to mute the sound, as the small animals in the forest are very sensitive to sound.]..
[10. Dogs are man’s best friends. Villagers who keep dogs are not bad people. You can ask them for help. If you see villagers beating dogs, please expel them immediately.]
Rule ten, the last two words are scratched out.
Expel what
Evict the dogs? Evict the villagers? Or something else
Unintentional reminder: "The rules have been polluted."
Su Qingyu took out the flashlight obtained from the [Infinite Corridor] copy, turned on the light and shone it on the rules. The four words "Leave the room" in Rule 8 were black and red.
There's something wrong with these four words at first glance.
It says not to panic at the beginning, and then says to leave the room.
