Chapter 311: The Native Ghost Arrives
Duan Jibo and Duan Qi observed for a while before returning to the house to continue their work.
In the yard, two farm tool ghosts were flying around on their own, removing weeds tirelessly.
Lin Chen looked around and came to the dry well.
As if sensing Lin Chen's breath, the shadow in the dry well quickly pressed its body against the wall, hiding itself more thoroughly and avoiding someone's sight.
Lin Chen slowly put his head above the well mouth and said to the inside of the well: "Are you hiding well?"
The well was still somewhat damp, not completely dry, but only a few small puddles remained.
The figure pressed against the wall showed horror on his face, and pressed his back against the wall even harder.
A smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.
I still can't feel the yin energy or ghost power.
But when Lin Chen put his head into the ancient well, he could feel the resentment of the ghost in the well.
This resentment was so deep that the figure of the ghost in the well appeared in Lin Chen's mind like a bright light in the dark night, with nowhere to hide.
And the most important thing is that Lin Chen has already seen one foot of the ghost in his sight!
The space at the bottom of the well was not very big. Although it covered most of the ghost's body, a slight flaw .
Lin Chen turned around, picked up a hard stone from the ground, and smashed it at the exposed foot.
There was a loud "bang!"
The ghost's foot was hit directly by the stone and retracted like lightning.
The face under the wet hair was twisted in pain, but he covered his mouth and dared not make any screams.
"You are quite patient." Seeing this, Lin Chen stepped one leg into the well and pretended to jump in.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, which attracted Lin Chen's attention.
Duan Jibo and Duan Qi in the room also heard the knock on the door and walked out again. They were all slightly stunned when they saw Lin Chen's posture at this time, but they soon turned their eyes to the direction of the door.
Through the gap in the broken wooden door, they saw that the people coming were not other players, but a few unfamiliar children.
The appearance of strange children in a place like this is undoubtedly a ghost!
The three of them looked at each other, and Lin Chen took his legs out of the dry well and jumped onto the ground.
And the being in the well finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Dangdangdang!”
The knock on the door came again, and the sound became louder. The wooden door seemed unable to bear it and was about to break.
The little devil outside seemed to be impatient because no one opened the door, and increased his strength.
One of the little ghosts even looked into the yard through the gap with greedy eyes.
Yes.
That look was extremely greedy, not like that of an innocent child at all.
However, Lin Chen had no idea what caused a child to look like that.
Lin Chen and the other two walked to the door.
No matter what, the ghost is knocking at the door, and in this copy, it might be worse for them to turn a blind eye.
A "creaking" sound was heard.
The wooden door was opened by Lin Chen.
I saw seven little kids of similar age standing at the door, staring at Lin Chen in unison.
Duan Jibo and Duan Qi had heavy faces, which did not look very good. Being visited by ghosts in this extremely dangerous and terrifying deserted village was probably not a good thing!
This scene was also seen by other players. In the two nearby courtyards, there were players standing on high places with their heads exposed. When they saw this, their faces changed slightly, but they did not say anything.
And five heads appeared in the front yard of Lin Chen's house.
They exuded a trace of yin energy and ghost power, and they were actually the Snake-patterned Ghost King and his gang who had entered the village earlier.
Among these five ghosts, except for the Serpentine Ghost King, there are three Ghost Kings at the peak level and one Ghost King at a high level among the other four ghosts.
It is considered the strongest force among ghost players.
Seeing Lin Chen being harassed by the little ghost knocking on the door, they all couldn't help but sneer.
They were afraid of Lin Chen, but the scene of Lin Chen being entangled by the little ghost at this moment was undoubtedly what they wanted to see most.
At this moment, the seven children suddenly spoke. They suddenly smiled and said to Lin Chen kindly:
"Uncle, we're here to see you!"
???
All the people and ghosts who saw this scene were dumbfounded.
Even Lin Chen was slightly startled, but he quickly reacted, smiled, and quickly said, "Isn't this my eldest nephew?"
The human-ghost player, who was originally extremely shocked, was confused again and stared at Lin Chen.
The smiles on the faces of the little ghosts became even wider, and they seemed to be enjoying it very much. The hammers and rakes in the yard continued to cut the grass automatically, but the little ghosts didn't care about this at all, as if it was the most ordinary thing in their eyes.
"Uncle, you actually still remember us." said one of the little kids.
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Of course. When you were little, I held you in my arms. By the way, what are your names?"
As he spoke, Lin Chen took out seven bags of spicy strips. This was a subconscious action on his part. When dealing with children, giving them something delicious is definitely a sure-fire way to deal with them.
But his words made Duan Jiebo and Duan Qi's faces turn pale, and they stared at Lin Chen with wide eyes.
It’s fine that you cheated the old lady, but are you trying to fool the little kid too?
The two were extremely helpless.
Lin Chen lied without thinking, and he was so careless. Wasn't he afraid of being discovered and getting into danger?
Looking at Lin Chen's smiling face, they actually had the illusion that Lin Chen had never considered this deserted village copy to be dangerous...
At this moment, the eyes of the seven little ghosts lit up, as if the reason they came was because of what Lin Chen had in his hand. They actually snatched the spicy strips from Lin Chen's hand and started to gobble them up.
The one who looked the oldest answered, "My name is Tiezhu, and they are Erlangzi, Wang Xiao, Li Bao, Gousheng, Goudan, and Cuihua."
Among them, Wang Xiao and Cuihua are little girls with two braids, and the others are boys.
"Yes, I remember now. Two of you have the same name as these cousins." Lin Chen said with a smile.
After the seven little devils finished eating, greed in their eyes became even stronger and they stretched out their hands again.
Lin Chen didn't seem to care at all and took out seven more bags of spicy strips and handed them to them.
"Why do you want to come and see me?" Lin Chen said casually.
Wang Xiao, the youngest-looking girl, grumbled as she ate: "Tiezhu's grandmother said you guys came back from the city with a big business and brought a lot of delicious food."
Tie Zhu said, "Nonsense, we are just here to see our uncle, what does this have to do with food?"
Wang Xiaodao: "But this thing is really delicious, and you brought us here."
Tiezhu got angry and said, "If you say that again, I'll beat you up, believe it or not?"
Lin Chen quickly stopped them and said, "Don't fight. If you fight, you're not a good kid."
There was nothing unusual on Lin Chen's face, but while others hadn't noticed, he had already discovered something unusual.
These kids are wrong!
Judging from the way they eat, both the older boy and the supposedly delicate girl look like starving ghosts.
Lin Chen even saw that two of the children swallowed the packaging bags of spicy strips.
At the same time, Lin Chen discovered that the holy fire that could absorb the power of greed hidden in the black-clothed group's holy relic on his body was actually burning fiercely.
In just a short moment, a force of greed had already condensed.
The greed in these little devils' hearts is simply scary!
"Uncle!"
Tiezhu suddenly spoke, interrupting Lin Chen's thoughts. He stretched out his dirty little hands and smiled.
His smile was very ordinary, but when you think about the fact that they were in a deserted village, coupled with the chili oil on his mouth from eating spicy strips, it still gave everyone an extremely creepy feeling.
Lin Chen remained expressionless. While observing the changes in the Holy Fire, he took out some spicy noodles from his pocket and said, "Are you the only kids in the village?"
"No, it's just that we have a good relationship. We will definitely not tell anyone else about this delicious food." Tiezhu took the spicy strips and said while eating.
It seems that as long as he has food, he will be very obedient.
Seeing this, Duan Jibo and Duan Qi nodded secretly.
Duan Qi smiled brightly. She was a stunning beauty with delicate features, and her smile made children feel friendly.
She took out a small gift box from her pocket and was about to hand it to the seven little ghosts, but was stopped by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Lin Chen, who stuffed the gift box directly back into Duan Qi's sleeve.
Duan Qi was stunned, and at the same time, he felt a little weird and dissatisfied at being touched by a strange man.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Lin Chen turned around and glared at her fiercely.
Duan Jibo seemed to realize that something was wrong. He patted her cuffs gently and shook his head.
Seeing this, Duan Qi suppressed his dissatisfaction and stopped.
Lin Chen turned around and saw the seven little ghosts still eating spicy noodles. He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again, saying, "You are very smart. I will give you my cousin's spicy noodles."
"Thank you, uncle."
The seven little ghosts all looked delighted and reached out their hands again.
After serving seven bags of spicy noodles, Lin Chen continued to ask questions: "We haven't been back for a long time. Has anything big happened in the village recently?"
"Yes, five years ago, there was an insect plague in the village. There was a famine and there was no food at all. It lasted for a year and many people starved to death."
"We were still young at the time and didn't know the details. I just remember that I was very hungry."
"I know, I know. An uncle named Ma in this yard committed suicide by jumping into a well because he was too hungry."
"I heard that he ate his own family. How scary..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Duan Jibo and Duan Qi's faces suddenly changed, and they quickly turned around to look at the dry well.
At the same time, I thought of the big black pot.
But Lin Chen's expression did not change at all.
He had already seen what was in the well, so it was not surprising.
At this moment, a child suddenly thought of something and said, "If this is Uncle Ma's home, why does my cousin live here?"
After hearing these words, the other six children were stunned and looked at Lin Chen in surprise.
Duan Jibo and Duan Qi came to their senses and were suddenly shocked.
This is not an abandoned house, but one with an owner, although that owner is dead during the time of the copy.
But this is in great conflict with what they claim to be “people returning to the village”.
It's a huge loophole.
Thinking of this, the two of them were so nervous that they were afraid that the seven native ghosts would discover something unusual and explode in ferocity.
They can deal with these seven ghosts, but if all the native ghosts in the village rush over, it will be a major disaster.
The Serpentine Ghost King who was watching from the opposite side had a teasing look in his eyes, and looked like he was enjoying the show.
At this critical moment, Lin Chen took out seven bags of spicy noodles from his pocket again and said, "We remembered it wrongly, but since Brother Ma is dead, we will stay here. You won't mind, right?"
The seven little ghosts quickly grabbed the spicy strips, their doubts disappeared, their faces full of satisfaction, and they said in unison: "No problem."
