As the two spoke, they looked incredulously at the talismans in their hands again. When they saw how some were charred while others had even turned to powder, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan not only broke out in a cold sweat, they felt an inexplicable bone-piercing chill in their hearts. All their words got stuck in their throats and they couldn’t utter a word out of fear. They could only look at Master Chi in panic.

Wu Haoming was the first to react. He gritted his teeth and said to Master Chi in panic, “Sister-in-law… Old Xiao and I really didn’t go anywhere. We just went to Da Qing’s house to drink!”

Could it be that they had run into evil in Da Qing’s house?

Or, did they run into evil on the way back from Da Qing’s place?

Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming racked their brains but couldn’t think of anything. Instead, the more they thought about it, the more panicked and doubtful they became. At the same time, the two of them made up their minds that in the future, no matter who treated them in the evening, they wouldn’t go anywhere. This village was too evil. If it wasn’t for these talismans from Master Chi, they would have died many times over tonight.

!!

Thinking this, their hearts turned even colder, and they shook like they were in the middle of winter. Their hearts pounded with fear, and they felt a boundless chill and dread.

Ruan Shenglin, who was originally looking listless on the side, also saw this scene. He wasn’t a fool to begin with. His eyes were fixed on the black talismans in Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming’s hands and his expression flickered as he had a rough guess as to what the two of them had encountered.

His face flickered through a variety of expressions like a chameleon. Occasionally, he would look dumbstruck, but most of the time, he was shocked and terrified.

If Ruan Shenglin had still been a little calm before, now that he had guessed that Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming might have encountered something, he lost all his composure and panicked.

His face was very unsightly at that moment, and his eyes overflowed with monstrous fear and regret. He didn’t even dare dwell too much on it.

He still had some hope that things weren’t as bad as he thought. He probed, “Master… Master Chi, what… what’s wrong with them?”

Chi Shuyan had been staring at Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming. Hearing Ruan Shenglin’s words, she didn’t think much of it and said indifferently, “They ran into evil!” She changed the subject and said, “Fortunately, their luck is good! Otherwise, they would have died a few times over tonight.”

As Chi Shuyan spoke, she picked up the charred and powdered talismans which they were holding. The door wasn’t closed, and a gust of wind blew in from outside, blowing away the black powder.

Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming’s hearts ached terribly when they saw the precious talismans turn to scrap just like that. Their hearts trembled violently when they heard Master Chi’s words.

Ruan Shenglin was so shocked by Master Chi’s words that his vision turned black. The world spun and he almost fell to the floor. It was Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming who quickly supported him. Xiao Shan didn’t understand and hurriedly asked, “Brother Ruan, what’s wrong? Are you okay?”

Wu Haoming also forgot his fear and worries.

Chi Shuyan really didn’t expect Film Emperor Ruan Shenglin to lose his guts and almost faint from her words just now, and she reflected on herself. After thinking for a moment, she stopped talking. She planned to let Ruan Shenglin go back first. She had said everything that needed to be said. Film Emperor Ruan was a smart person and should know what to do.

As for Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming, she still had official business to discuss with them, so she had Wu Haoming see Ruan Shenglin off first.

After listening to Master Chi’s polite farewell, Ruan Shenglin subconsciously walked to the door in a daze. However, when he reached the door, he suddenly thought of something and stopped.

Chi Shuyan thought that Film Emperor Ruan Shenglin still had something else on his mind, so she asked in confusion, “Is there anything else?”

Holding the door open, Ruan Shenglin turned around. He didn’t say a word, but his legs couldn’t help but tremble. His feet were as soft as dough, and he couldn’t stand steadily. His originally calm, charming, and rational face revealed a pitiful look, as if he was about to cry. Chi Shuyan’s expression grew more and more puzzled. She didn’t understand at all what this Film Emperor Ruan Shenglin wanted from her.

His voice trembled as he finally said, “Master… Master Chi, can you send me back?”

Chi Shuyan: …

Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming: …

After saying that, Ruan Shenglin finally relaxed. He actually felt a little ashamed. He wasn’t usually a coward, but now, he was really afraid…

At the same time, he understood that this village was really… too dangerous!

Ruan Shenglin was filled with regret. If it wasn’t for Master Chi’s words just now, he wouldn’t be able to stay in the village for a second longer. He wished he could immediately take his wife and Brother Kun away that night.

After Ruan Shenglin said that, no one laughed at him, including Chi Shuyan. She felt that it was best to be more vigilant in this village.

Many times, human lives were lost when a person was negligent, so she immediately agreed. “Okay!”

As for Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming, they had even less reason to laugh at Film Emperor Ruan. In fact, the two of them were also a little traumatized after going out so late, and were clutching their talismans tightly.

Chi Shuyan immediately decided to let the two of them stay back while she sent Film Emperor Ruan Shenglin off. He was also staying very close by.

In the living room next door, Manager Yang Kun was still feeling a little apprehensive. After Shenglin’s wife went to her room to rest, he couldn’t help but ponder things

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Yang Kun subconsciously thought that Shenglin was back, and immediately went to open the door. When the door opened, however, there was a strange man standing at the door. Yang Kun was a bit puzzled.

Looking at the other party’s attire, however, Yang Kun guessed that the person in front of him was a villager. The other party invited him to his house for a drink.

Yang Kun didn’t think much of it. He just felt that the villager was quite enthusiastic even though they didn’t see much of each other during the day. If it wasn’t for the fact that he still had to wait for Shenglin, he really would have gone over for a drink. It was still quite early at almost seven in the evening.

Thinking of Shenglin, Yang Kun smiled and refused. “Thank you so much, no need. I still have something on, so I won’t trouble you tonight. I’ll definitely go next time!”

Although Yang Kun felt that the village was quite scary, most of the people here were really good. Occasionally, he would run into a few people during the day, and they would take the initiative to greet him.

So, Yang Kun had a good impression of most of the villagers in the village. He thought about it. It was rare to be invited over for dinner, and it wasn’t nice that he didn’t go.

In terms of the ways of the world, Yang Kun was a shrewd person. He immediately had the villager wait while he went back to the living room to get some specialties for him.

“Brother, wait for me for a while. I’ll be right there!” Yang Kun hurriedly went to the table in the living room. On it were boxes which contained things like white wine, roast duck and so on.

He was prepared to give the villager a few more bags.

Yang Kun was worried that the villager would feel embarrassed when he saw Yang Kun’s movements, and would leave immediately. So, Yang Kun looked back at the door from time to time as he opened the boxes.

Who knew if it was because of what happened during the day, but when he looked at the villager at the door, Yang Kun felt that something was off.

He had always found the lights in the living room too dim; now, under the dim yellow light, he felt that the face of the villager standing at the door was too white. It looked deathly pale, like that of a dead person. Also, there was something very wrong with that pair of dull eyes when they looked at him, like those of numb zombies in horror movies.

Yang Kun trembled in fright at his own guess and slapped his forehead fiercely. What the hell was he thinking? How could a perfectly fine person be dead?

Although he didn’t know the villager standing at the door, they had run into each other in the middle of the day before, and the man had even taken the initiative to greet him. How could he be dead?

The more Yang Kun thought about it, the more he felt that he was thinking too much. He immediately turned his head and continued to open boxes and dig out things. However, he didn’t notice that the villager, who had been standing motionless at the door, suddenly got a sinister and greedy look in his eyes. He suddenly stepped into the house and walked in stiffly, step by step. As the man got closer, Yang Kun could clearly hear that something wasn’t right, and his body jerked.

He heard an impatient and very rough and unpleasant voice behind him. “Are… you done?”
