Strangely, after he got close to the parchment, the cold feeling appeared again, but it was weaker than the candlestick in the village chief's house, and it did not have any obvious impact on him.

Yu Xing suppressed his discomfort, took another look, and then smiled shyly: "Before, I was ignorant and agreed to the village chief to stay for the funeral. If I want to leave midway, who knows what will happen. Two eldest brothers, I know Feng Shui.

On the one hand, you are experts, and there are some secrets that cannot be disclosed to outsiders, but... human lives are at stake, and I also have some additional information that I may be able to exchange with you."

This is what I've been waiting for.

Xu Yuan glanced at his brother and then nodded: "In that case, that's fine."

…

Half an hour later, Yu Xing left the Xu brothers' room.

He saw the old lady sitting in the courtyard, looking lonely, thought about it, and walked over with a smile.

The old lady was tapping the cane in her hand, looking up at the sky above the yard, lost in thought.

"Old lady, are you alone?" Yu Xing sat directly opposite the old lady and started chatting regardless of whether the old lady agreed or not, "What are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at...the outside world." The old lady didn't lower her head, but she was still fascinated.

A cunning look flashed across Yu Xing's eyes, and he tentatively said, "If you want to go for a walk, I can help you."

"No, not outside, but...the outside world." The old lady showed a sad look. In fact, she was the only old man Yu Xing saw in this village except the old man at the entrance of the village.

"What is the outside world? You mean... outside the mountains?"

"Yes... I also went out when I was young." The nostalgia in the old lady's eyes became more and more intense. Perhaps it was because no one had talked to her for too long. It didn't take much effort for Yu Xing to open up her chat box.

"People in our village have all worked hard outside, some going to school and some working." The old lady spoke clearly and it was not difficult to distinguish her words.

"But, in the end, we will all be pulled back, and then, we will stay in the village forever..."

Yu Xing listened and sneered inwardly: Ha, are you just like Zhou Yongsheng?

He went to school well, but when he came back, he was strangled to death.

He wanted to ask the old lady why she kept coming back, but the old lady didn't seem to have a clear understanding of the problem, and she didn't say anything after going around for a long time.

So Yu Xing changed the question: "Mother-in-law, do you know an old man in the village? I saw him at the entrance of the village when my friend and I came here. He was also standing on crutches. He looked very old."

"Old man?" The old lady was confused for a moment, "I should be the last old man in this village. Oh, did you see him by the locust tree?"

Yu Xing nodded: "That's right."
