Cannon Fodder Battle Chapter 1256: Descendants of the Corpseman (8)
Although I came to Chai Xinlan's house as a guest, Chai Xinlan doesn't seem to have the right to make decisions. People from the two clubs make decisions, especially because everyone is very relieved of Ye Wei, who feels that she is more fair and just, and can handle both. There are conflicts between the clubs, so most of the things are arranged by her.
Ye Wei's reasons were also convincing, so everyone followed Ye Wei's plan one by one.
When Li Huan's servants went to make portable cakes for Chai Xinlan, Tong Xinlan brought Bian Xiaojun and the others into the village.
Because the villagers were not very hospitable, Chai Xinlan only went with the presidents and vice presidents of the two clubs in the previous life. The other students stayed in the house to read books and draw pictures as a vacation.
If you are a modern person, you will definitely be very interested in such an antique village.
But in this day and age, even the big cities are full of ancient buildings, so the city people don't have much interest in country houses.
Although the village is not big, there are eight rice paddies.
The layout of the entire village is a circular network, which is good for defense. Of course, Chai Xinlan's family destroyed this structure, just like the head of a tortoise sticking out.
Because everyone didn't bother the people in the village last night, so when the people in the village saw the lights in Chai's house, they just thought that Chai Xinlan's grandfather had come home.
So, when Chai Xinlan appeared in front of the villagers with a stranger, everyone's expressions were not very good.
A child saw Chai Xinlan and happily recruited her. He was about to call her, but his mother covered her mouth and carried her into the house.
"Didn't I tell you not to talk to the Chai family? Why are you disobedient? Do you want to be taken away by ghosts?"
Tong Xinlan's hearing is relatively good, and she heard the people in the room say so.
Ye Wei and the others should not be able to hear the words in the room, but they can also see that Chai Xinlan is not very popular in the village, so they looked at Tong Xinlan with some doubts, "They seem to be afraid of you?"
Tong Xinlan said a little sadly, "The people in the village are more superstitious than the people in the city. No matter how our family chases away the dead, dealing with the dead is really bad for them."
"I heard from my grandfather that it is very difficult for a corpse hunter to marry a wife. No one wants to marry their daughter to a corpse hunter, and no one wants to be the relative of a corpse hunter. Family and friends have lost contact."
"Have you ever heard of it? The corpse hunter accepts apprentices, and those apprentices must meet three requirements. One is courage, the other is strength, and the third is that they must be ugly, because they are ugly and poor. People, there will be no girls who like them, so they can be at ease as corpse hunters."
"So, many corpse hunters out there will lose their households because they deal too much with unclean things. However, many corpse hunters simply can't marry a wife, so it's no wonder they keep closing their households." It's not forced , Desperately poor, who would go to worship the dead man as a teacher?
Whether in ancient times or modern times, being poor and ugly has no future.
"Then why did your grandfather marry a daughter-in-law?" Li Huan just finished asking, and then remembered seeing Chai Xinlan's father, "By the way, your father is very good-looking, and your grandfather must be good-looking too, so he must not worry about marrying her." Daughter-in-law."
Bian Xiaojun said disapprovingly, "Their family is different. The Chai family has been exorcising corpses for several generations."
"That's right, every generation of corpse hunters in the Chai family can marry a daughter-in-law. Is it really because they are good-looking that girls don't choose?" Deng Zecheng touched his face a little unconfidently, Afraid of being rejected by Li Huan.
"By the way, Chai Xinlan, you seem to seldom mention your mother?" Ye Wei suddenly asked a question, but the fact that everyone is getting married and having children is not unexpected.
Chai Xinlan doesn't have many memories of her mother. Tong Xinlan organized her words and said, "Not every man in the Chai family can marry a wife. So, in my grandfather's generation, only my grandfather married a wife." My wife gave birth to my father, and none of my grandfather's other brothers had a daughter-in-law."
"It is not easy for my father to marry my mother. My mother is weak and sick. To marry a wife in the countryside is to marry an extra labor force, so no one else asked her to marry her. When my grandfather came to propose marriage for my father, my grandpa and grandma Naturally agreed."
"After my mother gave birth to me, my health became worse. Later, when I came to the city, although I saw a western doctor, it was too late. I left within two years."
At this point, Tong Xinlan suddenly remembered a fragment in Chai Xinlan's memory.
After Chai Xinlan's mother died, the body was naturally buried in her hometown.
However, Chai Xinlan, who was supposed to be guarding her mother's body, couldn't remember how her mother returned to the countryside.
Maybe it was because her mother's death hit her so hard that she forgot that memory, right?
Anyway, Tong Xinlan only saw the picture of Chai Xinlan's mother dying of illness in the hospital in the city, and then she was buried in this hometown.
Tong Xinlan wanted to take a closer look at her memories, but for the first time felt a pain like a pinprick in her brain.
This is a situation that I have not encountered when doing tasks before.
"Yeah." Tong Xinlan pressed her temples, trying to relieve the pain, but found that there was nothing to do to make up for it, and the pain became worse.
Chai Xinlan doesn't have a headache, what's going on now?
Rather than a headache, it would be more accurate to say a mental attack.
Tong Xinlan's face was pale, and in an instant, sweat soaked her back.
"Chai Xinlan, what's wrong with you?" Ye Wei has been paying attention to Chai Xinlan, and immediately noticed her abnormality.
Tong Xinlan didn't want the sudden incident to ruin her plan, so she squeezed her palms fiercely, forced an awkward smile ~IndoMTL.com~ and said in a voice, "I, my stomach hurts."
"Does it matter?"
"It's nothing, a week or so before my period comes, I will occasionally have such a throbbing pain."
Ye Wei showed an expression of understanding and deep regret, and stopped asking.
Tong Xinlan felt that this was not a physical problem, she must have touched memories that she shouldn't have touched.
She tried to relax her mind as much as possible, and stopped thinking about things related to the Chai family and expelling corpses. After a while, the tingling pain in her head really eased a lot.
Although people in the village don't welcome outsiders and don't like Chai Xinlan, Chai Xinlan is a villager after all. She takes a stranger around the village and let the villagers know that they are not stealing. .
It didn't take half an hour to walk the whole village.
Although no one in the village spoke to Chai Xinlan, because of Tong Xinlan's good hearing, she heard many comments about her that Chai Xinlan had never heard before.
