Chapter 168: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes 2
“Are there many tourists in the village?”
In such a remote area, it takes two or three hours to take a bus, and an hour's drive from the nearest town, there are actually tourists.
"Not many, occasionally there are three or four. But this time there are quite a lot, about ten."
"The travel is pretty good." Bai Xi praised.
Daga was also very happy to hear the praise. Bai Xi also got some news from him.
A few years ago, a college student appeared in the village. After graduation, he made money outside. If he wanted to repay his hometown, he would come back to help the village develop tourism.
These tourists in the village all came here by looking at the advertisements online.
The small bungalow where the tourists and Bai Xi and the others lived was also the one who paid for the college student. I heard that it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's selfless!"
After seeing off Daga, Bai Xi sighed and turned around and opened the suitcase to see what was inside, but in addition to daily washing clothes, there was also a stack of cash.
Bai Xi counted five thousand dollars.
There are two people in the bungalow in the village, He Ting and the black girl in the same room, and four other boys in two rooms, leaving Professor Lin and Bai Xi.
However, Professor Lin and Bai Xi are of different genders, and the professor has special treatment, so Bai Xi also ended up in a single room.
Another room not far apart.
A young man looked outside carefully at the door, then closed the door, got together with another person in the room, muttering in a low voice.
"Do you think this Bai Xi is the one Bai Xi on the potential list?"
"Unsure. If it's really that Bai Xi, you have to be careful. They are more than 3,000, so we didn't even make it to the ability list."
"This five-wheel game of Killing God has advanced to the middle-level player, and I don't know how many people I killed."
"No. I have to change the location. She and us are separated by three or four rooms, which are too close."
Then, the two of them quietly carried their suitcases and found the village chief, and spent a few hundred yuan to change a room.
It was past two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
There was a knock on the door outside, and Bai Xi stood up and opened the door. He was a young man from the village.
"Miss Bai, the Ping An Banquet will start on time at three o'clock."
"So early?" Bai Xi was a little surprised.
Daga told her before that there is a banquet in the village that welcomes them and tourists in the afternoon, but isn’t this usually evening?
Light a bonfire, dance, sing, etc., show the local characteristics and customs, and it's all done.
"Our village always holds banquets during the day and never goes out at night." The young man replied.
"Why?" Bai Xi asked.
The young man shook his head, "I don't know either, this is a custom in our village."
"Okay, thank you. I will arrive on time, I'm in trouble."
Bai Xi is very friendly. The total number of people in this kind of task is not large. Information can only be obtained from the villagers, so we have to make good relationships.
Don't go out at night, this is the closest message to this point, and special reminder.
After the young man left, he put his suitcase and money into the space, and Bai Xi also went out.
The key to this round of game is at night. Whether it is a monster or a human-made danger cannot be determined. It is better to collect supplies first!
After coming out of the house, Bai Xi stopped and stopped, looking around, as if she was visiting the village. In fact, her goal was very clear, which was the convenience store in the village.
Originally, there was no convenience store in the village, but in order to facilitate tourists, the village held a meeting to discuss and raised funds to open one.
The convenience store is not large in scale, with only some common drinks, bread, melon seeds, and daily necessities.
From afar, Bai Xi found that there was a person standing at the convenience store, which was He Ting.
"He Ting, are you buying things too?" She stepped forward and said hello familiarly.
"Well. Professor Lin took three or four classmates to find rare plants nearby.
When I come back tonight, I probably have to work overtime to record information. I will buy some things first, otherwise I will be hungry." He Ting looked at Bai Xi and explained.
"That's it, then I'll buy some."
Bai Xi took the opportunity to buy a lot of them, including bread, mineral water, and instant noodles.
"It's time to stock up on something. Tomorrow is the Ghost Festival in our village and you can't go out."
Seeing that the two bought a lot, the convenience store owner smiled and said a few more words.
"What the hell day?"
Bai Xi's heart skipped a beat. There will be no ghosts in this round of game, right?
People in the village don’t go out at night, and the game reminds you to close your eyes when it’s dark. Now the convenience store owner directly mentioned the Ghost Festival.
There are also mirrors hanging on the door.
No, she encountered such a copy so soon?
"Boss, talk quickly, talk quickly."
He Ting urged, looking interested.
"Ghost Festival is a custom in our village. It is said that on this day, the dead will come back to visit their families or find their enemies to take revenge.
On this day of the year, we stay in the house and don’t go out regardless of night or day, until the sun rises the next day.”
Speaking of Ghost Festival, the boss looked much more solemn and very awe-inspiring.
"It feels a bit dangerous."
He Ting patted her chest in fear.
"Boss, do you need to prepare for the Ghost Festival?" Bai Xi asked. There is definitely something wrong with this Ghost Festival.
"You don't need to prepare anything specifically, just stay in the house."
The boss thought for a while and said, "I think it's best to hang a mirror on the door, otherwise the dirty things will enter the house."
"Boss, come on a mirror."
Bai Xi decisively bought two mirrors. Regardless of whether there are any ghosts in this round of game, I will prepare it first and follow the customs.
He Ting also bought three or four, and she said she would hang the doors and windows in mirrors.
After successfully selling a batch of mirrors, the boss was so happy.
Carrying two big bags of things, Bai Xi returned to his house and put them into space. The time was almost three o'clock.
She was about to go to the banquet venue.
The venue is on the other end of the village, and it takes about ten minutes to walk over.
Walking on the bluestone path, there are simple farmhouses on both sides, which gently blow on your cheeks with a faint fragrance, giving people a unique feeling.
Several children were running freely on the road, and the parents walked out, pretending to be angry, and they were not allowed to be naughty when they stopped drinking.
The only thing that is not beautiful is that many places in the village are being repaired, with strange patterns painted on the base of the wall and the newly built parts, which look a bit cunning.
The villagers are very friendly. When they meet tourists, most of them will smile and nod, and some will take the initiative to say hello.
When Bai Xi came to the venue, the venue had been laid out.
The entire venue is distributed in a circular shape, with a large circular platform in the middle, and everyone sits around the circular platform.
Under the guidance of the villagers, Bai Xi found the location of these tourists.
Before everyone arrived, Bai Xi chose a location where he could see it and was more likely to chat with the villagers.
As soon as I sat down, a villager brought a glass of the village's special drink - Zilang wine.
"It smells so good!"
Bai Xi picked up the cup and placed it under his nose and smelled it. There was a faint fragrance, which was somewhat similar to the breeze I smelled when I came.
Chapter completed!
