The Host in Quick Transmigration Always Wants to Break Her Character

Chapter 111 The Educated Youth Tricked into Going to the Countryside (5)

"Alright, that's about enough for the story," the village chief said to the group, seeing the girls' frightened expressions.

In Xia Lin's previous life, Xia Lin was already terrified after hearing the story. The thought of having to move in made her even more afraid, so she asked Liu Jia if she could stay with her at the village chief's house.

After receiving a response, she immediately stated that she wanted to stay at the village chief's house, and the other two girls also said they wouldn't stay there.

However, Lin Jingyi did not want to squeeze in with the three of them. He still needed to cultivate, and living together would mean no private space and would be troublesome for cultivation.

So this time, Lin Jingyi didn't say he wanted to stay at the village chief's house. No one else spoke up either.

After all, if you're afraid, it means you're superstitious, and that's something the state opposes.

Nobody wanted to be the first to speak.

"I haven't finished speaking yet, Xiaoqing, don't interrupt."

Seeing the village chief come out to speak, Uncle Zhao felt that his story couldn't stop and he had to continue telling it; he felt uncomfortable if he didn't.

So he spoke to the village chief in a rather fierce tone.

Seeing that his elders were a bit angry, the village chief didn't say much. He awkwardly touched his nose and stepped back.

"Later, villagers often heard joyful laughter coming from inside when they passed by there in the evening or morning."

"Later, some people made bets and dared to go in. They were fine if they went in during the day, but if they went in at night, they either went crazy or got sick, and some even died."

"After that, no one dared to go in anymore, except at noon. I, your old man, advise you not to stay there."

Finally, Uncle Zhao spoke earnestly to the group of educated youth.

Although Master Zhao's actions fall under the category of spreading feudal superstition, since no one reported him, it didn't matter.

One of the male educated youths was about as brave as the girls, with a hint of fear in his eyes, but the other five male educated youths saw disbelief in his eyes.

How can a new generation of intellectuals believe in feudal superstition?

“Third Master Zhao, this is feudal superstition. There are no ghosts in the world,” one of the educated youths said to Third Master Zhao.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhao simply shook his head, put his straw hat back on his head, picked up his hoe, and went to work in the fields.

The educated youth and the others, having received no response, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Yes, just like some comrades said, this is feudal superstition, it can't be believed, it's all fake."

The village chief remained unmoved by the sight, but smiled and responded to the group.

Once the story was over, everyone seemed to realize that they hadn't done their work yet, and they all picked up their farm tools and rushed to their own fields.

Afterwards, the village chief led everyone to the front of that house.

The road to that house was quite wide and flat, but it was covered with green moss on the sides, and a path had been made by people walking through it.

The house is a courtyard house with a second floor.

The door is made of wood and has begun to turn black and grow moss.

Pushing open the door, you see that the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and there is a large altar in the center of the courtyard with several incense sticks stuck in it. In front of it are some things that can be vaguely seen to be food.

"That was something the villagers would occasionally go to worship out of guilt."

Seeing everyone staring at the altar in the center of the courtyard, the village chief offered an explanation.

"Village chief, this house doesn't look that old." Lin Jingyi glanced at the corridor and saw only a few leaves; the rest of the house looked quite clean.

“Every year, a representative from one of the villagers who had wronged their family helps them clean their house,” the village chief replied.
