Beitang Lie nodded.
“Can we enter the mountain?” Quan Jue suddenly asked.
This place was backed by Mount Wu. The scenery on Mount Wu should be very beautiful.
Ah Ping raised his eyes and looked at the young man sitting opposite him. A dark light flashed across his eyes. “There are many wild beasts in the mountain. We can’t go. If we encounter a bear, we’ll be dead.”
Quan Jue frowned slightly when he heard Ah Ping’s words. However, he didn’t say anything and just picked up a drumstick and placed it in front of Chi Jiao.
“By the way, everyone has to follow the same rules as last night. No matter what you hear, don’t go out.” Ah Ping told the few people again, “There’s going to be a funeral procession in our village tonight, it might cause some commotion. Don’t go out to take a look.”
“Who is it?” Beitang Lie asked curiously.
Ah Ping looked at him in exasperation before saying patiently, “He’s an elder in our village. He has lived for 90 years and had a nice, long life.”
Beitang Lie nodded, but he muttered in his heart.
There were so many strange customs in this village. Holding a funeral procession at night?
After eating their fill, Ah Ping arranged for Little Xiu to help Chi Jiao and the others prepare hot water, while he went out.
Not long after Chi Jiao and Pei Yao returned to their room, Little Xiu brought hot water over.
“Miss Pei, Miss Chi, if there’s not enough hot water, there’s more in the kitchen. You can call me anytime. I’ll help you get more,” Little Xiu said with a smile.
“We will get it ourselves if we need more. Go and rest,” Pei Yao replied in a mild tone.
Little Xiu sensed that Pei Yao’s attitude was a little cold and nodded with an embarrassed expression. She turned around and walked out of the house.
She stopped in her tracks when she reached the door.
“Ah Ping told you not to go out tonight no matter what you hear. You must listen to his advice!” Little Xiu blurted out before hastily opening the door and walking out.
Pei Yao walked to the door and locked it.
She then walked over to Chi Jiao and sat down beside her.
“Jiaojiao, it’s so strange. Why do they keep insisting that we aren’t allowed to go out tonight? They weren’t that nervous last night.” Pei Yao rubbed her chin with one hand, her big eyes filled with confusion.
“We will know when we go out later, right?” Chi Jiao said.
Pei Yao nodded. “Alright, let’s go out and take a look then.”
After washing their feet, Chi Jiao said, “I’m going to look for Brother Quan. I’ll be back later.”
With that, she walked away in her slippers.
Meanwhile, Quan Jue had just washed his feet and face and was sitting on the brick bed.
There was a small table in front of him, on which were all sorts of practice questions.
Knock Knock.
There was a steady knock on the door.
Quan Jue’s lips curled up slightly. He knew without asking that it was Chi Jiao.
He immediately got off the bed and went to open the door.
Chi Jiao didn’t expect him to open the door without even asking who it was. After entering, she said very seriously, “Brother Quan, you opened the door without even asking who it was. Aren’t you afraid that it might be a bad person?”
This was a very bad habit!
Before opening the door, one must always ask who it was.
Especially in this unfamiliar place.
“I knew it was you, so I didn’t bother asking,” Quan Jue said.
Chi Jiao sat on the brick bed and tilted her head to look at him. “Do you have x-ray vision?”
