Chapter 157 Yellow charms plastered all over the house
The village chief was relieved, but in the end he did not let Ran Ran and the others live in his house, but arranged for another house.
The area is not large, but at least it is clean and tidy, many times better than Wu Mingde's home.
The number of empty rooms is barely enough, so three people can sleep in two rooms.
There is only one blind woman in this family. Her face is old, but her voice is gentle and gentle, giving people a sense of mismatch.
Ranran entered the yard and saw that this old woman was the only one at home, and she already felt something was wrong.
What caught her attention was a very familiar tree in the yard.
Ranran recalled for a moment and confirmed that it was the same species as the dead tree at the end of the village. It was just that the tree in the yard was not as big as the one at the end of the village, but its outstretched branches occupied almost half of the yard.
The village chief waved his hand and asked Ran Ran to take the others to see the room first, while he and the old woman communicated outside the door.
Shen Dinghai looked at it and muttered, "He even whispered something! Aren't they just afraid that we would hear him from such a distance!"
Ran Ran also took a look, and she could hear what they were saying with her magic, but given the uncertainty of the situation, Ran Ran didn't dare to use it rashly.
She was afraid that fluctuations in spiritual power would alert others.
People in the village obviously knew about the existence of magicians.
Whether they got to know the magician through something or whether there was a magician in the village itself, Ran Ran had no way of knowing.
This forced her to be on guard.
You must know that the richest man in W City like Er Nephew did not know anything related to metaphysics before, but such a remote and barren small village knows...
As the second nephew said, this village only has ghosts if there are no ghosts.
"It would be good to stay. As for what they are talking about, we will find out sooner or later."
Shen Dinghai looked at Ran Ran with a peaceful expression, and his mind, which was originally a mess, became much calmer.
"I don't understand why I want to stay. It's obvious that something is wrong with the behavior of these people in the village."
"We should run as far as we can."
Ran Ran raised her eyes and looked at Shen Dinghai, "Our purpose of coming here has not been completed, how can we leave so easily."
"The cause of the thick fog is not clear yet. It is very easy to go out now, but how to come back after leaving and how to fulfill Sister Wu's wish in the future, shouldn't these be considered?"
Shen Dinghai straightened up, "My cousin is right, I just..."
"I'm just a little scared. The disgusting looks in those men's eyes make me want to vomit. I'm afraid I can't protect you."
Ran Ran lowered her eyes and said, "It's not yet time to use force. Everything in this world cannot be solved through brute force. We must learn to follow the trend."
Shen Dinghai hesitated, "Cousin, were you just following the trend when you acted?"
Seeing Ran Ran nodding, Shen Dinghai frowned, "This is really not something that ordinary people can do. Saying disgusting things against yourself...it's very difficult!"
Ran Ran covered her face helplessly, "I won't bother you with this job anymore. From now on, you only need to follow Sister Wu and me at all times to deter men who want to get close."
When talking about this, Shen Dinghai looked aggrieved, "But there are so many of them, I can't deter them."
Ran Ran reassured: "It's okay, they won't be like this again in the future."
Seeing Shen Dinghai's confused look, Ran Ran patiently explained, "The village chief's promise to let us stay is equivalent to giving a promise to the men in the village."
"Sister Wu and I will be their reward for being obedient."
"It's normal for people to be agitated about things they can't get, but for things they know will be theirs, they often have endless patience."
"From the perspective of the men in the village, we are already their meal. Naturally, they will not be as excited as today and gather around us."
After listening to Ran Ran's explanation, Shen Dinghai felt even more disgusted.
"A person who only sees that kind of thing in his heart is not worthy of being called a human being at all."
"They seem to be completely divorced from the concept of civilization." Ran Ran fell into thinking, "Not necessarily. They should have formed their own [unique] inheritance and culture."
"If it was really primitive enough..." Ran Ran's eyes looked through the window sill and focused on the village chief at the door, "The head of the village now would not be such an old man."
Shen Dinghai said thoughtfully, "Yes, there is no power worship in this village. Except for the matter of women, the people in the village obey the village chief."
Ranran had a flash of inspiration, "Second nephew, you are right!"
Shen Dinghai scratched his head, "Huh? What's right?"
"This is a critical point."
"The men who respect the village chief will rebel against the village chief for the sake of women, which shows that women are the key to everything."
Shen Dinghai was confused when he heard this, "Women are the key, but there are not many women in the village."
Ran Ran thoughtfully said, "Yes, we have to find women, the more the better."
Shen Dinghai's mind became more and more confused as he listened, "Where can I find it?"
Ran Ran raised his head and looked at Shen Dinghai steadily, "There's no need to sleep tonight, we have to [get to work]"
"If women are going to work, we have to go too."
"The specific things still have to wait until I figure out a few doubtful points before I can explain it."
Shen Dinghai wanted to ask more questions, but the village chief outside the door had ended his conversation with the old woman, and the two old men walked in slowly.
The village chief looked at Ran Ran and Shen Dinghai critically.
"Since you ask for a place to stay and have a good rest, then have a good rest and don't think about what you have."
"If I find out that you want to cause trouble..." the village chief sneered, "I won't let you go."
After he finished speaking, he actually took out a stack of talisman paper from his pocket, with blood-like symbols drawn on the yellow paper.
Ran Ran's eyes confirmed that the connection between this village and the magician should be far closer than she imagined.
The village chief wetted the talisman with his saliva and posted it randomly on the window sill at the door. He seemed to be very confident in the power of the talisman.
As he posted it, he said slowly: "Don't think about running around. If you post the yellow talisman given by the Heavenly Master, you can only enter but not leave the house."
"If you are restless and step out of this room... there will be consequences at your own risk!"
Shen Dinghai came close to Ran Ran at some point and complained in a low voice: "Isn't it just my son getting married! Treating the whole world as an imaginary enemy!"
"Cousin, do you know what kind of talisman he put on? Is it powerful?"
"It's forbidden." Ran Ran stared at the corner of the yellow talisman exposed on the village chief's pocket, "It's true as he said, once we step out of the room, we will be harmed by the power of the talisman, and..."
"He will also be the first to notice our movements."
Shen Dinghai opened his mouth wide, "He arranged a lethal surveillance?"
Ran Ran couldn't help but curl her lips, "He also left a talisman in his pocket, which is a sensing talisman that can sense the status of the yellow talisman placed in the room."
Shen Dinghai nodded, "I understand, it's a combination of talismans with different functions. He's quite awesome."
The village chief quickly affixed the stack of talismans in his hand until only the last one was left. After leaving a gap and getting out, he faced Ran Ran and affixed the last one with sadness.
Block that gap as well.
The whole house finally became a perfect cage.
Shen Dinghai looked at the yellow talismans all over the walls and doors, and couldn't help but sigh, "How powerful we are in his eyes. He wants to use so many talismans against us?"
Ranran shook her head, "He did this not because we are so powerful, but because he attaches great importance to his son's marriage."
"In his opinion, this should be a wedding with no room for error."
