Chapter 164 What Ran Ran knows
As Wu Pannan spoke, her eyes were no longer aimless and unfocused, but gradually focused on a certain place.
Ran Ran followed her gaze and found that she was staring at a certain woman chanting around the fire.
The same skin is sagging and old, and the hair is streaked with silver threads.
Ran Ran's heart trembles, Wu Pannan's mother!
She was so focused on unraveling the weirdness of Good Village that she almost forgot about it.
Wu Pannan's eyes became redder and redder as she spoke, as if blood was about to drip out of her eyes, just when she finally couldn't help but move forward.
Ran Ran took out the sachet that had "soothed" Shen Dingchuan before from the small cloth bag she carried with her.
She placed it on Wu Pannan's neck, patted her shoulder gently, and let her take a gentle sniff when she turned around in surprise.
Wu Pannan fell down softly.
Fortunately, Shen Dinghai had quick eyes and quick hands to catch her, otherwise even if the ground was slightly soft mud, it would be quite painful to hit her like this.
I don't know if it was Shen Dinghai's illusion, but the moment he caught Wu Pannan, the chanting sound seemed to stop for a moment.
He was so scared that he held his breath and did not dare to make a sound.
It wasn't until the women in the village kept kowtowing on the dirt that Shen Dinghai relaxed his vigilance a little.
"Cousin, what are you doing?" he asked almost breathlessly.
Ran Ran followed his example and lowered her voice, "Sister Wu is too impulsive now. We cannot let her run out and take risks."
She gestured with her eyes to let Shen Dinghai look at the women in front of the shrine, "Although my original idea was to talk to them."
"But looking at how religious they are about this ceremony, it's unlikely that we can get anything out of them."
"Then what should we do now? Continue to stay here, or go back to Dongsheng's house?" Shen Dinghai pondered.
"The village elder probably doesn't know that cousin, you have a treasure that can disable his yellow talisman. We can go back and pretend. Anyway, we can come out when we think of it. It is also a kind of improvisation."
"At least there is a bed to lie down and rest at Dongsheng's house. There is nothing but mud and trees here. I feel sick even if I lean on it."
Ran Ran knew that the last sentence was the real reason in Shen Dinghai's heart.
She looked forward through the trees, and said cautiously: "My current plan is to take a look inside the shrine."
"Is there any mystery inside?" Shen Dinghai couldn't figure it out. "It's such a small building. You can see it at a glance. There isn't even a statue of a god inside. Why should you go inside to see it?"
"Did the second nephew forget the sound of the suona we heard on the way here?"
"The sound clearly came from here, but it is completely empty here. There is not even a whistle around anyone, not to mention the suona."
Shen Dinghai opened his eyes wide in horror, "Yes! How could I forget this!"
"Where did the band that played the suona go? It's impossible to disappear out of thin air..." Halfway through, Shen Dinghai connected Ran Ran's previous words.
"Cousin, you mean there might be a cave inside the temple?!"
"I wasn't sure, so I had to take a closer look to find out."
Shen Dinghai became distressed, "But with so many people around, how can we get a closer look? Wu Pannan is still fainting. There are many strange things in the village. We can't leave her here alone. It's impossible to do it in front of so many people." Move her in."
Ranran nodded, "So we can't go back to sleep yet, we have to wait."
"These people are not made of iron and can't stay here 24 hours a day. We have to wait for the time when the women and men in the village change shifts."
Shen Dinghai's eyebrows rose with joy, but then his eyebrows drooped again.
"But what if the place where these people change shifts is not in the village, but here? Then we have no chance at all!"
Ran Ran calmly stated his guess.
"I don't think it's possible."
"We have all experienced how difficult the road here is. If these people really set the handover location in the back mountain, it means that the village will be unguarded for a long time or two every day."
"If an intruder sneaks in at this time, it will be difficult for them to detect it. The risk factor is too high." "It is much more reasonable to set the handover point in the village."
"If outsiders who sneak in want to do something to the shrine, they must first pass through the village. This way they will not only have precautions, but also have better control."
"Last night, women were cooking at home and men were watching the fun on the street, which indirectly proves this point."
Ran Ran concluded, "The rotation happens in the village."
Shen Dinghai had a learned expression on his face.
Ran Ran continued: "Suppose it really doesn't go as well as we expected, and the worst happens, and they really choose to hand over in front of the shrine, and then they will think of another way."
After listening to Ran Ran's words, Shen Dinghai felt much calmer and began to run around quietly in the forest.
Ranran looked over with questioning eyes.
Shen Dinghai chuckled, "I understand. For the time being, all we have to do is wait! It's the same waiting, but I want to wait comfortably."
"I'm looking for a soft spot where you can lie down, cousin."
"Children must pay attention to sleep and nutrition, otherwise they will not grow taller."
"I have never seen someone as young as you, my cousin, worry about the lives of people and ghosts every day. If you don't take your own body seriously, I, as a nephew, can't do that."
After Shen Dinghai finished speaking, he plunged into the thicker place among the trees.
It was indeed as he said, nothing happened for the time being, so Ran Ran just let him go.
Even if he encounters any danger that he cannot solve by himself, Xiaoyu will still be there to protect him.
As soon as Shen Dinghai left, the surroundings became completely silent, and even the soft voices disappeared.
Ranran raised his eyes and looked at Dongsheng beside him, and said something coldly.
"When are you going to speak?"
Dongsheng's eyes suddenly opened wide, and the hand stroking the black cat lost its strength, causing the sleeping black cat to move its eyelids.
For a long time, Dongsheng couldn't recover from his surprise. He maintained that posture stiffly, staring at Ran Ran motionlessly.
Ran Ran could see cold sweat breaking out on his fair face, and couldn't help but tilt her head.
"Don't worry about me. I'm not from the village and can't affect you."
Perhaps his eyes were too sore after not moving for a long time, so Dongsheng blinked slowly.
He looked dumb, which made Ran Ran want to tease him.
"I'm shocked. I want to know when I found out?" It was obviously a question, but Ran Ran said it with an extremely sure tone.
Without him, Dongsheng's expression was too obvious.
"Don't you know your mouth will betray you?"
"Although the time we got together was short, you were hesitant to speak during many of our conversations."
"The specific manifestation is that after moving the lips, they tighten their lips again."
Ran Ran looked at him with clear eyes, "This is not an action that a mute would do."
"This is the action of a person who wants to speak but cannot."
Dong Sheng was surprised by Ran Ran's detailed and accurate observation!
This small child, who looked harmless, suddenly became terrifying in his eyes, making him breathless.
Dongsheng was silent, with cold sweat all over his body, but he heard slowly speaking again.
The delicate-looking girl in front of her sighed.
"I know this and scare you like this. If I know more, I won't scare you to tears~"
Dongsheng's face suddenly turned pale.
