It was already broad daylight when they returned to the city.
Xue Meng got out of the car first, and Jiang Lan asked Zhang Tianxing to take them directly to Ying Qiao’s community.
Before getting off the car, Zhang Tianxing suddenly said: “I really didn’t find anything unusual on the first day. The villagers behaved normally, and those evil spirits never appeared.”
This was to explain to Jiang Lan, it was not that he ignored or deliberately failed to warn them.
Jiang Lan nodded understandingly: “I understand.”
It was normal for Zhang Tianxing and the others to see nothing unusual when they went there on the first day, because the appearance of the ghost miasma was probably related to the dead people in the village. On the afternoon of the first day, an old man died in the village. The village held a funeral and then sent the body to the cemetery for burial.
But the cemetery in the north of the village was full of living graves, and they saw with their own eyes that the new grave contained the gnawed bones of an old man. The old man they called “dead” was probably just over sixty years old and was sent to a living grave by the villagers to be fed to the Gu Diaos.
Jiang Lan guessed that this was not the first time they had done this.
Maybe a long time ago, there were no monsters like Gu Diaos and Dilong in the cemetery. The villagers just followed the village tradition and put the babies who could not survive into the baby tower, and the old people over sixty were buried in the living graves. As a result, due to a strange combination of circumstances, the corpses of the old people and the abandoned babies attracted monsters. The poisonous Gu Diaos and Dilongs lingered in the cemetery and grew stronger day by day.
Their appetites were also getting bigger and bigger. By the time the villagers discovered the man-eating monsters in the cemetery, it might have been too late.
Jiang Lan didn’t know when the villagers discovered the monsters, and when they started feeding living people to the monsters, but one thing was certain, the village must have reached some agreement with the Gu Diaos. For example, they would provide food to the Gu Diaos and the Gu Diaos would not harm them. The feather in Secretary Huang’s hand may be the token of their transaction.
It was just that the Gu Diao were cunning and couldn’t keep their promise. Perhaps in the eyes of the Gu Diao, the entire Sanshui Village was their reserve granary.
Of course, these were still Jiang Lan’s speculations for the time being. If you want to know the whole truth, you probably would have to wait for the police to find out the whole story.
Seeing that he really didn’t care, Zhang Tianxing nodded towards him and said, “Then I’ll go back first and you say hello to Ni Ni for me.”
Jiang Lan said goodbye to him before going upstairs with Ying Qiao.
This was the first time he came to Ying Qiao’s house, and he was inevitably full of curiosity.
When Ying Qiao opened the door, Jiang Lan was still changing his shoes when he heard a loud “crushing death” coming from the room.
Jiang Lan:……
He changed into his slippers and walked in quickly. He saw Jiao Tu sitting cross-legged in the second bedroom holding a tablet. Suan Ni hung entirely on his shoulder. He raised a small paw angrily: “Blow him up!”
Jiao Tu’s tone was still slow and hesitant: “If the explosion kills us, we won’t have any big names.”
Suan Ni swung his tail up and down and kept slapping Jiao Tu with his paws: “Blow him first!”
Jiang Lan glanced around and saw that there were cut fruit plates and snacks on the bedside table, with a wide variety of everything. The trash can beside the bed was already filled with fruit peel packaging bags.
He didn’t know how long they had been playing.
“…” He stood at the door and knocked hard on the door.
“I’m not going to have lunch, just buy two more bottles of Coke.” Suan Ni said without looking back.
Jiang Lan: ???
He turned to look at Ying Qiao and asked silently: How can you spoil a child like this?
Ying Qiao:……
He just called a little monster to take care of the two cubs before going out, and he had asked him to try his best to meet their small requests that were not excessive.
Knocking on the door was useless. So, Jiang Lan simply walked in, bent down and asked, “How long have you been playing?”
“Not much-“
Halfway through Suan Ni’s words, he suddenly came to his senses and was so frightened that he fell upside down on the bed: “Fifth brother?”
Jiao Tu hurriedly tried to hide the tablet, but there was no place to hide it. His eyes were weak and he looked left and right. Then he called “Fifth Brother”.
Jiang Lan frowned: “What did I say before going out? Did you even go to bed at night?”
Suan Ni quickly said: “We went to sleep!”
Jiang Lan narrowed his eyes: “What time did you get up?”
Jiao Tu was honest and lowered his head in shame: “Five o’clock.”
Seeing this, Suan Ni grabbed Jiang Lan’s hand in a flattering manner: “It’s none of Little Ninth’s business. I wanted him to play with me.”
Jiang Lan pushed him back to the bed with a finger: “The tablet is confiscated. You should think about it carefully.”
Suan Ni wilted, and his ears drooped listlessly.
Jiao Tu admitted his mistake obediently: “We know we were wrong.”
Jiang Lan snorted before finally letting his brothers go.
Ying Qiao looked at the dejected little ones sympathetically, and then looked at the little monster with Brother Yan written all over his face. The more he looked at it, the cuter he felt, and his heart suddenly turned away: “I’ll look at them for you. You go and wash up first. Get clean and get some rest.”
Jiang Lan glanced at him distrustfully, but seeing how dirty he was, he went to wash up first.
But he was worried and even brought the tablet into the bathroom.
It was not necessary to be addicted to games.
He had heard from his fourth brother before that the cub of so-and-so was addicted to games and engaged in online dating behind his parents’ back. As a result, his cultivation was too poor and his shape was unstable. During the date, his true form was revealed and he was sent to the police by his unsuspecting online dating partner who sent him to zoo because he turned out to be a first-level protected animal, the parents later went to great lengths to fish the cub out of the zoo.
He had to keep an eye on his younger brothers and not let them accidentally enter the zoo.
The author has something to say:
Serious Lanlan: Children should not be too spoiled.
Longlong: The angry little monster is so cute.
