Chapter 79
"Milk! I'm back, someone wants to live in our house!" Xu Lanfang shouted into the room as soon as he entered the door.
"Lan Lan, are you back? Why did you bring someone with you?"
An old voice came from the house. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and a trembling hand opened the window of the big house.
Soon, an old man stuck his head out of the window. Everyone was shocked when they saw it——
The old lady's face was full of wrinkles, which trembled as she spoke, like boiled chicken skin.
Her body was paunchy, but it looked like a pile of dead rotten flesh, growing in all directions on her body, which looked quite weird.
If the old lady's bloated figure can occasionally be seen in other old people who eat a lot and don't move often, then her eyes are something that ordinary old people cannot have anyway.
Her eyes were dark, but the edges of her pupils glowed a pale green under the sunlight. When she looks at you with these eyes, you feel like you are being stared at by a wolf.
The players were used to it and were not frightened by the old lady's strange appearance.
But the other two people, especially Bai Cui, were shocked.
Moreover, not only her, but also the audience in the live broadcast room were frightened.
[There is a ghost behind you: Oh my god, is this Xu Lanfang’s grandma? It looks so scary. I believe it even if you say it’s a ghost! 】
[Spring will never come: It’s amazing. The host hired an actor. If he did, I bet the 50-cent old lady is a ghost. 】
[Yi Yan: Well, how could there be such an ugly person? He looks a bit like an old beast. 】
[Lonely Rabbit: Please be kind to the above, everyone will grow old one day. If you scold the old lady like this, be careful that there will be ghosts looking for you tonight. 】
Glancing at the barrage, surprisingly, when she saw the audience panicking, Bai Cui suddenly stopped panicking.
Although she was startled by the old lady's eyes, she also knew that this was a scary-looking old man. As a host, she couldn't be rude to the old man.
When Bai Cui was thinking about how to talk to the old lady, Xu Lanfang said loudly: "Mistress, they came to the village to play. There is no hotel in our village, so they want to stay at our house!"
"How could you suddenly bring someone home without consulting me!" The old lady also yelled, seemingly reluctantly.
Seeing this, Xu Lanfang said again: "I took the money!"
Hearing this, the old lady suddenly fell silent. She closed the window, Xu Lanfang dragged the trolley into the house, and then ran to the big room where the old lady was sitting.
Through the wooden window, Bai Yan could hear a rustling sound of counting money coming from inside.
Soon, Xu Lanfang came out and said to everyone waiting in the yard: "Come in, my grandma agreed!"
The uprightness of this pair of grandparents left the anchors and players speechless for a while. The audience in the live broadcast room was also stunned.
However, no matter how speechless I am, I still have to enter the house.
Although Xu Lanfang's house is dilapidated, it is not without its benefits as there is a lot of land in the countryside. Her house is quite big, with several rooms equipped with a kang.
Leading everyone in, Xu Lanfang took them around, and then said: "I live in the middle room with my grandma. There are two rooms on the east side, one is big, and the six of you can live together. You give me more money, and the west side is smaller. That room is also given to you, you can live in one room for men and one room for women.”
After speaking to the players, Xu Lanfang said to the two anchors: "The small room on the east side is for you two. You and your partner live together."
After making arrangements for the two of them, Xu Lanfang went to pack up the bag of straw he had just brought back.
While she was busy, some viewers clamored to see the old lady, so Bai Cui walked to the big house.
Big house.
The old lady was sitting cross-legged on the kang, leaning against a pile of quilts and squinting her eyes, looking drowsy.
Bai Cui called out several times, but the old lady still closed her eyes and ignored her.
Thinking that Xu Lanfang and the old lady had been talking loudly just now, and the old lady might have bad ears, Bai Yan said loudly: "Hello, old man! We have something to ask you!"
This time, the old man heard her, and she opened her eyes slightly. Her cloudy old eyes with green light made people instinctively feel uncomfortable.
Seeing a room full of people and thinking that they had given money, the old man was not angry. He picked up a piece of tissue paper, coughed up phlegm and said, "I am old and I can't hear. Please speak louder. What do you want to ask?" ?”
"Grandma, we want to ask you, have your village been haunted by ghosts?" Bai Cui understood that the old man was a little deaf, so she said loudly: "I heard that many people have disappeared in this village. Is this true? "
"What? Missing? That kid is missing?" The old man was a little confused.
"I don't know either. I just heard outside that this village is haunted. Let's come and take a look!" Bai Cui said loudly: "Grandma, this is what a young man in your village said! He said he saw a ghost in the village. Many people were missing in the village, and he was very frightened, so he fled the village and ran away!”
After listening to Bai Cui's words, the old man finally understood this time.
She pulled another piece of tissue paper, took a sip, and said in a loud voice: "What a fool, isn't this a curse on us? It's all nonsense! How can our village be haunted? Cuijuan came to see me a few days ago. Laguali, no one is missing, the elderly and children are all here!”
"What? No one is missing, no one?" Bai Cui asked in disbelief: "Grandma, are you sure there is no one? Even the lost children count!"
"There are no flower photographers in our village. Children follow the adults so they don't get lost. We watch when strangers come, so there's no way they could get lost!"
After asking the old woman a few more questions, Bai Cui was "deeply shocked" to know that no one in the village was missing and there were no signs of ghosts.
Of course, although the old woman was very disrespectful, she still had to do the live broadcast.
After leaving the big house, Bai Cui walked outside and pointed at the village and said with confidence: "There must be something wrong with things that happen unexpectedly. There must be some supernatural legends in an ancient village like this, but the old lady said with certainty that there is none. There must be something strange.
Based on this anchor's rich experience in ghost hunting, she is definitely hiding something. In contrast, there must be a ghost in this village!
Friends, everyone knows that most supernatural events cannot be seen during the day. Everyone, please be patient. Tonight, let me, Bai Mei, find out whether the stories in the forum are true or false!"
Bai Cui was forcibly trying to save face and using all kinds of witty tricks to retain the audience.
In the east room, the players gathered together and lowered their voices to discuss.
Unlike Bai Cui, they really thought the old man's answer was weird.
"That post should be true. If no one died, the App wouldn't send us here." Bai Yan said, "What do you think?"
"I think so too." Xiao Ze Bo said.
"Not necessarily." Ye Shangyu said, "Although the post is mentioned in the 'background import', it is also possible that the horror did not happen."
"Wait a minute."
Ye Shangyu took out her notebook and started typing. While she was busy, the others continued to brainstorm.
"The post may not be false. It may also be that she has lost her memory!" Gina scratched her brown braids and pondered: "In previous games, NPCs always lost their memory. Ghosts changed their memories and made them forget about the dead. Maybe the old lady forgot too."
"Well, that's true." Next to the little loli, the black man Kunta said, "Gina and I often encounter this situation."
Gina and Kunta actually know each other? One of them is black and strong, and the other is white and short. Bai Yan glanced at the two and felt that this combination was very mismatched. He didn't know how they got together.
Everyone expressed their opinions. Another oriental player, Lu Ruichao, remained silent and didn't seem to like talking.
He didn't speak, and everyone ignored him.
After discussing for a while, Ye Shangyu suddenly looked up and said, "No, we can't find it out!"
"My notebook automatically restarted when I checked it. It seems that the App doesn't want us to find out the poster in this way."
"Interesting." Bai Yan's eyes lit up: "It seems that the identity of the poster is very important."
"Could it be someone in the village?" Gina paused and said, "Maybe they posted it online to remind themselves before they lost their memory."
"It is also possible that someone in the village is a ghost." Bai Yan said, "If we can find out who posted it, we can find out who is pretending to be a ghost. Of course, this is just my personal guess."
Everyone talked about it and proposed several situations that often appear in the game.
In the end, everyone agreed that any situation could happen, so they decided to take multiple approaches to verify which situation is correct from all aspects.
"Quinta and I will ask other villagers to see if they have lost their memory." Gina said sweetly.
"You and Kunta? Your skin color is different from the people here, they might be scared." Xiao Zebo also pointed at Lv Ruichao who didn't say a word: "Why don't I go with you, and Kunta go with him."
"No, I still want to go with Kunta." Gina looked easy to talk to, but she refused ruthlessly: "I am used to exploring with familiar teammates."
Gina and Kunta are a fixed team, and they don't trust Xiao Zebo either.
That's right, with Gina's small body, if something happens, Xiao Zebo can easily push her to the ghost and use her as a scapegoat.
Bai Yan had this thought, glanced at Ye Shangyu, discussed with her, and said: "We think Xu Lanfang and the old lady are very suspicious, and there are two anchors. These two outsiders are also worthy of attention. Ye Shangyu and I will be responsible for keeping an eye on them."
"Okay." The black man nodded: "Xiao Ze, you and Lu Ruichao are together, two people in a group, safe."
After deciding the group, Xiao Zebo also looked at Gina with regret, and this attitude made Gina frowned and very unhappy.
This Xiao Ze has a sneaky look, she would not agree to go with him. Gina snorted, raised her chin, and took the black man's big hand with her white and tender little hand and left.
After Gina left, Lu Ruichao went out without saying a word, and Xiao Ze followed him with some disgust.
Soon, Bai Yan and Ye Shangyu were the only ones left in the east room.
Ye Shangyu put on his notebook and went out of the east room with Bai Yan. In the kitchen, Xu Lanfang was chatting with the female anchor.
Seeing the two people coming over, Bai Cui greeted them warmly: "Little sister is going to go outside to get firewood. Xiao Hei and I are going to help. Do you want to come with us?"
