Chapter 124: Mouyu Village - Aqiang
Lu Li thought for a moment and said, "No, these eyes didn't exist when I searched before. Although it was just a low-level trick, I was able to detect it. It may have appeared suddenly. Your conversation with Wang Laosan must have touched on something they don't want you to know."

Lan Tong was relieved now. She was not being monitored all the time. Otherwise, she would have felt uncomfortable all over.

Wang Laosan screamed in fear, pulled up the quilt to wrap himself completely, and his body shook like a sieve.

"Enough! Enough! I can't say it! I can't say it even if you force me to death!"

Guangzong and Yaozu were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, as if they were frightened silly.

Lan Tong had no choice but to settle for the next best thing: "If I can't tell you, then let's not talk about this. You can always answer my third question, what's in the mountain?"

Wang Laosan lowered his voice and said tremblingly: "The mountain... In the mountain, apart from some wild animals, there is only the cemetery of our village... The custom of our village is to bury the dead in the mountain..."

Lan Tong said: "Since you can't answer the second question, then I will ask another one. Is it safe here at night?"

Wang Laosan was curled up in a ball on the bed, shivering, and it sounded like he was about to cry.

"I can't say... I really can't say it. Big sister, please let me go. It's not easy for me to take care of two children by myself. I just want to find a wife and a mother for my son. Please don't ask anymore. I promise that I will never have any thoughts about you in the future. I beg you..."

Speaking of this, Lan Tong suddenly realized that there was something strange.

"Where's their mother?"

Wang Laosan didn't say anything and it seemed that he couldn't answer.

He was shaking so violently that his elbows kept hitting the wall, making a dull "dong dong dong" sound.

Seeing that Wang Laosan was completely useless, Lan Tong was too lazy to stay any longer and turned around and left with Ji Yu.

When she reached the yard, she looked at the wall again, and the eye in the cracks of the bricks had disappeared.

It took the two of them less than an hour from determining the task to completing it.

……

The village chief's house.

As soon as he entered the door, Lu Li in the space immediately became alert.

"Be careful, the pollution in the house is very serious. Don't stay in there for more than ten minutes, otherwise you will lose your mental strength."

"Ah."

The village chief's house is almost a completely retro building, with traces of wear and tear everywhere, as if it had been built in ancient times and has been lived in until now. It is a pure wooden structure house, and there is a smell of rotten wood as soon as you enter the house.

The items in the house were quite modern. The village chief was sitting on the kang, wearing glasses and watching TV with a cup of hot tea in his hand.

A Qiang was sitting nearby, fiddling with some documents in his hand. When they found out that Lan Tong and Ji Yu were here to hand in an order, they were both a little surprised.

The village chief said with a smile: "The task was completed so quickly. Young people are really energetic and have the energy to do anything."

A Qiang took a look at the list and accepted it. It seemed that there was no problem with Wang Laosan's seal.

"The mission is completed quickly and there is more time to rest. If you have nothing to do, you can walk around the village. The air here is good and the scenery on the mountain is nice. Just be careful not to go too deep. There are wolves in the mountains. If you are bitten by a wolf, we will not be responsible."

Lan Tong said: "Thank you, but I am most afraid of wolves, so I definitely don't dare to go up the mountain. I'd better walk around the village. Maybe I can help other groups with their tasks."

Aqiang smiled for the first time. He was a typical masculine man with wheat-colored skin and strong muscles. He looked a little silly when he smiled, but he didn't look that fierce.

"You are a pretty girl with a kind heart, not bad."

Ji Yu: “…” Don’t want to talk.

Lan Tong smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. You are handsome too."

There was an inexplicable sweetness in her cold voice when she pretended to be obedient. A Qiang, a cold-faced man, couldn't help but feel his ears turn red when he was praised by Lan Tong.

"No, no... You are too polite..."

"Don't be modest. You looked so handsome when you served me food."

On the surface, Lan Tong was exchanging all kinds of courtesies with A Qiang, but in fact, she was just taking this opportunity to stay in the house for a while so that Lu Li could specifically detect the source of the pollution. Listening to Lan Tong's hypocritical words, Lu Li couldn't help but stretch out his voice and imitate Lan Tong's words in a sarcastic tone.

"You are also very handsome - when you served me food - very handsome -"

"Shut up."

Lu Li felt a little more comfortable after hearing Lan Tong's response in a straight and cold voice without any ups and downs.

"Lantong, you are so hypocritical."

"This is not the first time you've said this. Hurry up and get tested. I can't pretend anymore."

A Qiang has even started to inquire about her relationship with Ji Yu.

"Are you and him... a couple?"

"No." Lan Tong said, "He owes me money, and now he is my servant to pay off the debt."

Ji Yu had a cold expression on his face and his eyes were calm, as if he was dead.

A Qiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said with a smile: "It seems that your family is quite well off. The conditions here are not good, and you probably can't adapt. If you find any place uncomfortable, remember to tell me."

"Thank you." Lan Tong responded with a hypocritical smile.

Hearing Lu Li finally say "OK" in her mind, she immediately said: "It's getting late. I won't disturb you and the village chief. See you at dinner."

A Qiang was stunned for a moment, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes, he nodded with a red face, and stuttered a little when he spoke.

"Okay... okay... I'll see you at dinner..."

Even after Lan Tong and Ji Yu walked out of the door, A Qiang was still staring at the door, as if he had been possessed.

The village chief looked at the TV, chuckled and asked, "What? Are you attracted to that girl?"

Aqiang came back to his senses and nodded embarrassedly.

"Don't you always dislike these people?"

A Qiang said: "She...she is different from others."

People who came here to travel before always looked half dead, spoke in a timid manner, and would be scared to death at the slightest noise. Let alone doing good deeds to help others, it was good enough if they didn’t hurt anyone.

This was the first time he had seen someone like Lan Tong who was quick at completing tasks, good-looking, and especially kind.

The village chief said nonchalantly, "If you like her, just take her. Old Chen's wife is sick, so there is only Zhang's wife left. There are so many boys in the village, how can we divide up one girl? I think that girl is very pretty, and I guess the baby she will give birth to will be pretty too."

Ah Qiang thought of Lan Tong's delicate and beautiful face, like a porcelain doll, her snow-white skin and her amber eyes. He couldn't help but let his eyes darken. He lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I... I don't want to share her with others."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The village chief seemed to have heard some extremely funny joke and laughed wildly. He patted Aqiang on the shoulder and laughed.

"Ah Qiang, you are still too young. It is not reasonable for a woman to serve only one man. Look at the wives of every family in the village."

A Qiang remained silent.

The village chief said: "You only think she's rare now. After a few years, when she's not so pretty anymore, she won't be rare anymore. Women get old when they have children.

"Look at Zhang's wife. Wasn't she pretty when she first came? How about now? She has just given birth to three boys and her face is full of wrinkles. Her figure has become like a sow, and she stays in the cellar every day, which is dirty and smelly. When this girl becomes like Zhang's wife, you will no longer care about her."

Aqiang looked out the window, and the scene he had seen in the cellar flashed through his mind.

The dark, dirty and smelly cellar was where women were tied with heavy iron chains, kneeling on the ground like dogs. Their bodies were full of fat, they looked crazy and covered in wounds, yet they were forced to serve all kinds of men in the village every day.

Thinking about Lan Tong becoming like that, A Qiang suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
