Su Qingyu needs the village chief to let them stay overnight, but the place of accommodation cannot be the village chief's home.
She lowered her long eyelashes, spoke carefully, and said in a gentle tone: "Village chief, I am a forest ranger working here. You told me so many things about the village, but I don't understand them very well.
It's getting late now, and I can't finish the work you assigned to me today, but please rest assured that I will continue to count these tickets tomorrow.
As for tonight... Village Chief, where do you think it would be appropriate for us to stay overnight?"
The village chief thought for a moment and said, “You can come to my house. I live in the village committee every night. When I don’t go home, my bedroom is empty.
The old lady you just saw lives in my house. Besides her, there is also an old grandfather. They call themselves my parents and only come out to take care of me during the day.
It just so happens that the bed in my bedroom is empty, you can move an extra bed in and live there."
Su Qingyu politely declined: "It's not appropriate for us to live in your house when you're not here."
"Then..." The village chief hesitated for a moment, "Yes, the two people living in my house cook in the kitchen every night and like to knock on other people's doors, which is very noisy. You need to work during the day and cannot not get a good rest at night.
How about this, if you don’t think it’s too shabby, you can also live in the village committee.
The village committee has a utility room, which is usually used as a lunch break room. There is no one there at night, so you can clean it up a bit and then you can stay overnight."
Su Qingyu readily agreed.
Accepting the invitation of the village chief and living in the village committee is a safer choice.
After a while, the old lady got rid of Bai Huo, took out her crutches, and hurried to find the village chief: "Son, are you done talking? It's time to change the dressing. Let me take you back to change the bandages on your body."
The old lady looked at Su Qingyu nervously.
The village chief winked at Su Qingyu, indicating that she should keep it a secret and not reveal the old lady's identity. Su Qingyu understood what he meant.
After the old lady pushed the village chief away, Bai Huo entered the village committee.
"Miss Su, I've discovered many strange things in this village." Bai Huo said solemnly, "When I was reading the old lady's palm just now, I found that her lifeline was intermittent, with many horizontal lines on it, as if she had been forcibly extended her life many times.
After discovering this strange thing, I wandered around other parts of the village and talked to the local elderly people. I found that their palms were very similar. "
Su Qingyu told Bai Huo truthfully what the village chief had told him.
Bai Huo pondered in silence.
Su Qingyu said: "The people in this village actively believe in the new Monkey God. The fact that they can destroy the Monkey God Temple shows that the danger level is higher than the previous two villages. M..
The rules require us to keep watch over each other at night, and that must be because something might happen at night.
All we can do is follow the rules and leave the village as soon as possible after exploring it."
Bai Huo nodded: "Miss Su is absolutely right."
After the two people sorted out some of the tickets, the staff here told them that several elderly people who had not paid their tickets had died.
