Chapter 230 Comparison
Bai Yanliang and Yu Wenxuan both planned to look for clues now, and Xu Zhifei had a completely laissez-faire attitude, so even though Lu Guo was very reluctant, he still followed them out.

It is evening now, the sky is very gloomy, and it is about to rain.

Normally, rain would hinder operations, but for this mission, it was actually a good thing.

Because if it rains, there will be no moon.

When Lu Guo followed, he found Bai Yanliang and Yu Wenxuan were both standing at the door, looking up at the red shroud hanging there.

"Listen to me. I know you are planning to look for the old lady in this house, but I want to tell you that you can't trust everything she says. We don't even know if she is a human or a ghost. So it's best to act together and don't get separated."

When Lu Guo said this, Bai Yanliang was just reaching out his hand to touch the blood-red shroud hanging under the eaves at the door.

"Bai Yanliang, don't touch it!" Lu Guo hurried over to stop Bai Yanliang.

"It's a bit high..." Bai Yanliang murmured. Because his hand was grabbed, he turned to look at Lu Guo, "What's wrong?"

"You don't want to take off this shroud, do you?"

"Ah."

Bai Yanliang nodded.

"Don't move! You've been through so many missions, and this kind of thing is obviously weird. What's more, with Xu Zhifei's example, if you touch it rashly, you will easily end up like her and get cursed by some unknown curse."

Lu Guo grabbed Bai Yanliang's wrist and persuaded him sincerely.

"No." Bai Yanliang shook his head. "I just saw an old man coming out of the house next door. He took down the shroud at the door and washed it by the river. This seems to be a very common thing in this village. I shouldn't be cursed if I just touch it."

Lu Guo opened his mouth and said, "Do you really have to take it down to look at it? Can't you just observe it like this?"

"I just wanted to see the size of this dress."

Bai Yanliang looked up at the red shroud and said, "If I have the chance, I want to take a look at every household."

Jiang Li and Lu Guo breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Bai Yanliang finally calm down. However, they were worried again by Bai Yanliang's next words.

"Don't touch it. Even if the ghost doesn't touch you, everyone in this village will beat you."

Bai Yanliang smiled and said, "They are all old men. They can't beat me."

Lu Guo looked at him speechlessly. So, have you really thought about fighting with a group of elderly people?

"Let's not talk about this. Why are you looking at the size of clothes?" Lu Guo chose to skip the topic.

"Of course, we're looking for clues." Bai Yanliang looked at him strangely, not understanding why Lu Guo would ask such a meaningless question.

Lu Guo paused, totally failing to understand what Bai Yanliang meant.

At this time, it was Yu Wenxuan who spoke up to explain.

"If the sizes of the shrouds at the doorsteps of every household are the same, it means that the shrouds are prepared for one person. If the sizes are different, it means that they are either prepared for a deceased relative, or that the person is just seeking peace of mind and has to hang a shroud for some reason."

Listening to Yu Wenxuan's explanation, Jiang Li and Lu Guo looked at the blood-red shroud above their heads and couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Whether it is the first or the second case, it is enough to illustrate the weirdness of this village.

After all, the fact that every household has a red funeral shroud hanging on their door is bizarre enough.

Just when Lu Guo and Jiang Li were a little confused, they saw Bai Yanliang suddenly stretch out his arms, as if he was holding something.

Then I saw the blood-red shroud flying down from the air.

"This!" The sudden change startled Lu Guo and Jiang Li at first, and then they realized that Bai Yanliang should have lifted Xu Zhifei up and asked her to get the shroud.

Because Bai Yanliang moved too quickly, Lu Guo was unable to stop him this time.

The blood-red shroud floated strangely in the air, showing itself to Bai Yanliang.

Although they knew that this was because Xu Zhifei was holding it, the scene was still quite strange.

Bai Yanliang frowned slightly, looking at the style of the shroud. No matter how he looked at it, a blood-red shroud made people feel uneasy. It was too red, so red that it looked like blood was flowing on the surface of the clothes.

At this time, Yu Wenxuan also came over with a shroud. He had just run to the opposite room, jumped up and took off the shroud.

Lu Guo widened his eyes and looked at the two lunatics.

"Same size, same style, for women."

Yu Wenxuan held up the shroud he was holding and compared it with the one Xu Zhifei was holding, and said.

Jiang Li always felt that the air around her was a little stagnant. She whispered, "Maybe this is just the custom here? Every family in the village has to prepare a shroud or something for the deceased..."

"probably."

Bai Yanliang obviously didn't agree, he was just thinking about something else.

"If these shrouds are prepared for the same deceased person, then who this deceased person is is very important. Maybe she is the one who wants us dead this time."

Bai Yanliang was just saying it casually, but it made Jiang Li and Lu Guo feel a chill in their hearts.

"Let's go and ask the old man who warmly entertained us about the situation of this village."

Bai Yanliang said.

"What if...she is a ghost?" Lu Guo prepared for the worst. "Or what if she doesn't want to tell us?"

"It's very simple. If you are a ghost, run away. If you can't run away, you will die. If she just doesn't want to tell us, it will be even simpler. We can tie her up and restrict her movements. She is wrapped in a cloak and looks afraid of the light. We can threaten her, strip her clothes and throw her out in the sun." Yu Wenxuan smiled, "In short, there are many ways."

Listening to Yu Wenxuan's plan, Lu Guo and Jiang Li beside him looked more and more strange.

This person... is truly a pervert.

He seems to have no concept of gender, age or seniority in his mind. As long as it is beneficial to him, he can do it without any psychological pressure.

"This... this is not good, right? I think that old lady is quite kind..."

Jiang Li still has a bottom line. Yu Wenxuan's words made her feel uncomfortable. She looked at Bai Yanliang and Lu Guo, trying to get support from them.

"Haha..." Yu Wenxuan couldn't stop laughing, "Well, you are right, she is very kind, and you are also kind. This is a very precious quality. I hope you don't lose it..."

His voice became softer and softer until Jiang Li could no longer hear it.

Bai Yanliang did not express his opinion. In fact, he didn't care much about the conversation between the two people just now.

Because he found something a little strange.

Soon, Lu Guo also noticed that Bai Yanliang's eyes had not moved for a long time and he was still staring at the shroud.

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Guo was worried that Bai Yanliang was also trapped in the curse, so he immediately patted his shoulder.

Bai Yanliang shook his head, looked at the circular longevity pattern on the shroud, and said, "It's okay."
