Chapter 764

"She's just a plot NPC, don't mind."

Li Teng picked up Nana and whispered a few words to Shen Mengying.

"She is a plot NPC? Then... what happened to the daughter?" Shen Mengying asked again.

"It's not mine, I just entered the plot." Li Teng told the truth.

"I believe you are a ghost." Shen Mengying turned her head away.

Now that you have entered the plot world, of course you must find a way to find the main plot tasks and successfully complete the plot.

After eating, Li Teng and his family left the yard and went to the village outside to explore around.

It is noon now, but because the sky is cloudy and there is no sun, it still feels a bit cold.

According to previous experience, mountain villages are different from cities. If it is a ghost movie, the ghosts will generally be more powerful.

Because the yards of each household are relatively far apart, and there are no street lights in this remote mountain village, it feels particularly eerie at night.

If a ghost enters a house, even if it calls for help, other houses will not hear it.

Even if you hear it, you still have a certain amount of time to rush over.

Therefore, it is still important to be familiar with the structure of the village and get to know the villagers in the same village.

Li Teng's closest neighbor's courtyard gate is about seven to eighty meters away from Li Teng's courtyard gate.

Between the two families is a large vegetable field, where various vegetables are grown, and all kinds of vegetables grow fat and strong.

When Li Teng's family passed by the courtyard gate, a neighbor's family was sitting near the courtyard gate of their house, holding bowls, eating and chatting.

"Have you eaten?"

The family saw Li Teng and his family coming over and greeted Li Teng and his family.

"Yes, Aunt Liu, are you eating?" Zhang Mengdi also greeted them.

Probably because they are plot NPCs, Zhang Mengdi and these villagers obviously know each other.

"Sit down and let's chat together." The neighbor extended an invitation to Li Teng's family.

Zhang Mengdi looked at Li Teng, who nodded.

Just chat, let him take this opportunity to get familiar with the plot.

After chatting for a while, Li Teng didn't collect any useful information, but Shen Mengying felt much better.

Because...she discovered that the man in the neighbor's family had three wives.

It seems that polygamy is a bad habit that this small mountain village has not yet changed?

Since the whole village is like this, she feels a lot more balanced.

"Why don't they talk?" The neighbor asked Zhang Mengdi about Li Teng and Shen Mengying.

"My husband and the others have just come back from outside and don't know much about the situation in the village." Zhang Mengdi explained a few words.

"What's the situation in the village now?" Li Teng took the opportunity to ask a few questions.

"You just came back from outside? It's normal to not understand the situation in the village, but there are a few things you must pay attention to..." Aunt Liu, the neighbor, started talking.

Li Teng expressed that he was all ears.

"First, after dark, you must not leave your yard, let alone the village, otherwise you will see a very terrifying scene, which you definitely don't want to see. After you see it, you don't want to see it a second time.

"Second, if there are places in the village that are marked with red letters as restricted areas, you must not go there. Don't be curious. If you go in, you will either die or be injured.

"Third, we must respect the Taoist priests in the village. Without their protection, we would not be alive today.

"I can only think of this much for now. If I think of anything else, I will go find you and tell you." Aunt Liu stopped here.

Based on his previous experience in playing games, Li Teng knew that what this NPC said was almost some of the 'rules' in the plot, but it was hard to say. It might also be a trap and cover deliberately set by the director and screenwriter.

In the horror and suspense genre, the word suspense, to some unsophisticated directors and screenwriters, means making things mysterious.

Therefore, what the NPC says in this regard must be taken seriously, but it cannot be fully believed.

"What kind of scary things will you see outside the village after dark?" Shen Mengying asked Aunt Liu. It was very appetizing and scary. I definitely didn't want to see it, and I didn't want to see it a second time...

"It's better not to know." Aunt Liu shook her head cryptically.

"Do you know?" Shen Mengying asked Zhang Mengdi beside her.

"I don't know." Zhang Mengdi also shook his head.

"Okay, I'll go and see it myself tonight." Shen Mengying couldn't ask, so she had no choice but to give up.

After leaving Aunt Liu's house, Li Teng and his family continued to wander around the village.

There is an ancestral hall in the center of the village. It has an ancient style and covers a large area. It looks very ancient.

However, the word "restricted area" is written in red letters on the door of the ancestral hall, and there are many yellow talisman papers posted on the surrounding walls. According to Aunt Liu, this kind of place is not allowed to enter.

There is a mountain behind the village. The mountain is steep and there is only one way up.

But the way up is also blocked, with the word "restricted area" written in red, so obviously you can't go up.

A Taoist temple was built at the foot of the mountain, and some Taoist priests were walking around the temple.

According to Aunt Liu, these Taoist priests protect the villagers, and the villagers should show respect to them.

Li Teng didn't know whether these Taoist priests were charlatans. When he passed by these Taoist priests, they all seemed polite and not arrogant, which gave Li Teng a good impression.

On the other side of the foot of the mountain is a coal mine. Both sides of the entrance to the mine are piled with excavated coal. Some workers, whose bodies and faces are as black as Africans, are processing the coal into briquettes.

On the left side of the village is an artificially built weir pond, and on the right side is a deep valley.

It is equivalent to a mountain village with mountains on one side, water on one side, and deep valleys on the other, with only the village entrance leading outside.

There is a long road outside, leading to the end of the field of view.

A deep ditch was also dug at the entrance of the village, connecting the weir and pond on the left side of the village. There is a stone bridge leading to the outside world.

It gives the impression that this mountain village seems to be deliberately guarding against something outside.

"Excuse me, is there anything scary that appears outside the village at night?" Shen Mengying saw a man who looked like a village cadre busy doing something at the entrance of the village, so she asked him.

"Yes." The man nodded.

"What is it?" Shen Mengying continued to ask.

"The less you know, the longer you live." The village cadre said this and walked away.

"What on earth is it? It's so mysterious." Shen Mengying's curiosity was completely aroused.

"They say it's better not to know, so we'd better not ask." Zhang Mengdi persuaded Shen Mengying.

"Of course this kind of thing needs to be clarified." Shen Mengying looked at Li Teng unconvinced, as if she wanted Li Teng to comment.

"Curiosity killed the cat. The less you know, the better." Li Teng agreed with Zhang Mengdi's statement.

Chapter 765

"I know you shouldn't be so curious in a movie like this, but when we do plot tasks, we have to understand the plot clearly, right?" Shen Mengying whispered a few words into Li Teng's ear.

"Let's come over here tonight and take a look ourselves." Li Teng thought for a while and answered Shen Mengying.

"Okay." Shen Mengying said nothing more.

There is also a village committee and other institutions in the village.

It's a big yard.

It is also a warehouse, where rice, noodles, and various daily necessities and utensils are piled.

These things are purchased by the village from outside.

Villagers cannot buy with money, but with work points.

Work points need to be earned by working hard in the village.

For example, helping Taoist priests clean Taoist temples, dig in coal mines, build roads in villages, plant trees, etc.

…

After walking around a lot, Li Teng almost figured out the structure of the mountain village.

In addition, I almost know that there are about 20 households, more than 100 people, and a dozen Taoist priests in the mountain village. Among these Taoist priests, only one Taoist priest is a foreigner, and the other Taoist priests are from that Taoist priest.

Recruited from the village.

It is said that they can exorcise ghosts and even fight ghosts.

Of course, Li Teng also asked Shen Mengying to ask other villagers about the haunting in the village, and the villagers' answers were similar to Aunt Liu's.

That is to tell them that they can move freely in the village at dawn, but after dark, if they do not hear the call of the Taoist priests outside, they must not leave their yard, let alone run out of the village.

There is no electricity or mobile phone signal in the village, and naturally there is no mobile phone or Internet.

There is no TV or anything, it is a very primitive mountain village.

At night, kerosene lamps are needed for lighting.
