Chapter 231 Old Lady
Chapter 231 Old Lady
Everyone has confirmed that there is something fishy about the old lady in this family.

Everything about her was puzzling.

The four people had clearly just arrived today and were strangers to her, but she welcomed them into her yard in a very familiar tone.

Although it was daytime, he wrapped himself tightly in a cloak, as if he didn't want to see the sun.

The strangest thing is undoubtedly the photo.

It was clearly her, even the wrinkles on her face were exactly the same, it couldn't be anyone else.

In other words, she is the ultimate unnatural.

The five men hung up the shroud again, entered the yard, and knocked on the door of another room.

"Squeak-"

The wooden door opened, revealing the old lady's wrinkled face.

She glanced at Bai Yanliang and his group, without any surprise on her face.

"come in."

Although she was very old, she did not seem to have any difficulty in moving. She quickly lay down on the recliner and glanced at Bai Yanliang and the others.

"I am a villager from Zhongyuan Village, my last name is Wu."

"Mrs. Wu," Bai Yanliang was the first to speak, "may I ask why you let us stay here?"

Old Lady Wu glanced at Bai Yanliang and said, "Why don't you know? I've already told you that I'll take you to see the village chief tomorrow. Don't be anxious or run around. I don't know what the village chief promised you. I'm only responsible for receiving you."

There is a misunderstanding here.

Old Mrs. Wu’s words immediately confirmed this to everyone.

Judging from her tone, the village chief seemed to have an appointment with another group of people, but for some reason, he could not meet them right away, so he asked Old Lady Wu to be responsible for the reception.

"But... we have encountered something strange. If you don't explain it clearly, it will be difficult for us to continue staying here." Bai Yanliang looked embarrassed.

After Bai Yanliang said the word "strange", Mrs. Wu's expression changed visibly. She asked in an almost anxious tone, "What strange thing? What did you encounter?"

Judging her emotions, Bai Yanliang said hesitantly, "It's not something strange that happened to us. We just found a photo in the room you arranged."

"Photos? What photos!"

Old Mrs. Wu's wrinkled face suddenly changed, and she sat up abruptly from the recliner, her movements as fast and agile as those of a young man.

Bai Yanliang's heart moved. He felt the rope on his left wrist move slightly. It was Xu Zhifei reminding him.

Bai Yanliang himself knew it clearly and couldn't say any more.

So, facing Mrs. Wu's questioning, Bai Yanliang scratched his head and said, "It's just an ordinary photo. It was clearly there when I entered the room, but it disappeared when I turned around."

Old Mrs. Wu cast a strange gaze on Bai Yanliang, as if she wanted to see clearly whether what he said was true or a lie.

But what she didn't know was that Bai Yanliang had been disguising his expressions most of the time over the past ten years. Although some people with keen senses would still notice something unusual, it was more than enough to fool ordinary people.

Bai Yanliang didn’t know whether Old Mrs. Wu was an ordinary person or not, but the final result was that Old Mrs. Wu’s complexion returned to normal.

She lay back on the recliner, without even looking at Bai Yanliang and the others, and said, "You are dazzled."

Bai Yanliang smiled and said, "I think so too. I must be dazzled."

Bai Yanliang stopped talking. At this time, Yu Wenxuan stood up and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Mrs. Wu, why do every household in the village have funeral clothes hanging? I was shocked when I first saw it."

As he spoke, Yu Wenxuan patted his chest, leaving Jiang Li and Lu Guo speechless.

Not only did you not get scared, you even jumped up and took off a shroud with your own hands...

Of course, the two of them did not say these words to each other's face, but only criticized them secretly.

Old Mrs. Wu glanced at Yu Wenxuan sideways and said nothing.

After a while, she looked past the crowd and towards the door.

"it's dark……"

it's dark?
Just as they were still thinking about what she was going to say, they saw that Old Lady Wu suddenly showed an impatient look. "Go back to your rooms. Don't go out at night."

This sentence immediately reminded Bai Yanliang, Yu Wenxuan, and Xu Zhifei of her first few instructions.

It seems that the nights in this village are really not peaceful.

"Well... sorry to bother you, Mrs. Wu."

The five people left quickly.

"Let's go." Bai Yanliang felt a strange atmosphere spreading.

This weirdness came not only from Old Lady Wu's room behind him, but also from the entire Zhongyuan Village...

"It gets dark so fast..."

Lu Guo muttered as he looked at the sky which had turned completely dark within ten minutes.

"You can feel it after you survive, Mr. Lu."

Yu Wenxuan glanced behind him and said with his eyes slightly narrowed.

The five people hurried back to the room. It was obvious that there was no electricity in this village, let alone electric lights.

So, Lu Guo lit the kerosene lamp in the house.

"Whoosh——" The moment the kerosene lamp lit up, Yu Wenxuan blew it out.

"Can't light the lamp?" Lu Guo asked in a low voice.

"All the windows are covered with black cloth, which not only prevents the light from outside from coming in, but also prevents the light from inside from going out. It's better to be cautious."

Yu Wenxuan's words immediately convinced Lu Guo. He nodded quickly and no longer mentioned the matter of the light.

The room soon became quiet, and the only sound in the darkness was everyone's breathing.

Xu Zhifei was very close to Bai Yanliang, and Bai Yanliang could clearly feel that her breathing became a little rapid and heavy.

And...the smell of the corpse became stronger.

"Are you OK."

Bai Yanliang's voice was very low, but he knew Xu Zhifei could hear it.

"My heart... is upset... I feel very uncomfortable..."

Xu Zhifei took three breaths just to say five words. It was obvious that she was not in a good state at the moment.

The curse deepened...

Bai Yanliang didn't say anything. He was trying hard to think of a countermeasure.

Judging from Xu Zhifei's current condition, she can't hold on for much longer.

Her body was decaying and her functions were declining rapidly.

Maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight, maybe in just a minute, she will die.

After all, Xu Zhifei's curse was that she saw a face like her own on the shroud, but... everyone has seen the shroud, so why did she see her own face?

This is where the problem lies.

In addition, Lu Guo also saw his own face. The difference was that the first time he saw a person, but he did not think that person was him. Then, the stranger's face appeared on Jiang Li's face, and he was scared.

Does this incident have anything to do with Xu Zhifei’s situation?
It’s still unknown at the moment, but... Bai Yanliang already has an idea.

"You'll be fine."

Bai Yanliang did not comfort her. He didn't know how to comfort others. He just said what was in his mind.

Xu Zhifei did not answer again, but the rope on Bai Yanliang's left wrist moved slightly.

At this time, Lu Guo held his breath, listened attentively for a while, and said in horror: "Listen, what is that sound?"
