A Guest In A Ghost House - Chapter 234 The strange things in fishing village

Just simply prepared, we set off. Our destination was a coastal city, Linhai. According to Huang Bin, the Nanyang warlock and He Xiaoru stayed together in a small fishing village near the sea. At first, they were meant to smuggle from there. However, government was punishing smuggle severely at the moment, so they had to stay in a small fishing village.

This made me congratulate on Xiaoru’s luck. After all, once they returned to Nanyang, we would not be as convenient as it now.

Because of the long distance, we took the plane, and soon we arrived Linhai. Led by an acquaintance of Huang Bin, we came to a county town, Jin Yang which the fishing village was belonged to.

This time, not many of us came here, just Huang Xiaolong and his father, the couples of Wu Jian and me. As for the reason of Ni Min’s coming, it was very simple. After discussing with Wu Jian, I thought it would be much safer to come here with Li Guihua.

When staying in a room of hotel, Huang Bin introduced us about the situation.

“It is closed fishing season right now, so there are few people in the small fishing village. If all of us go into the village, it is easy to draw attention of Nanyang Warlocks. Therefore I’d better get into in batches, but we have to notice that the situation in the fishing village is very strange now. I had been there. It seems that there are something else besides the Nanyang Warlock, so you must be careful and never try to be brave, if there is a problem, contact me at once.”

I looked at Huang Bin astonishingly. Did he mean that he was not going to enter the village with us? After all, I met him for a short time and he was Huang Xiaolong’s father. It was better not to say too much.

Huang Xiaolong said directly without scruple, “Oh, you don’t go with us.”

Huang Bin smoked then said: “Now is the time to test you.You’re better not to lose my face.”

“Oh,” Huang Xiaolong looked helpless.

After listening to Huang Bin’s arrangement, Wu Jian split us into teams immediately. Actually, it was an easy job. He and his wife were a group, and the other group was Huang Xiaolong and me. In this way, while ensuring the combat power, it wouldn’t draw too much attention. Just their departure time would be a day later than ours.

The next morning, Huang Xiaolong and me set off. We dressed as backpackers to go to the small fishing village.

The cities along the coast, especially those depended on fishing, always had a indelible fishy smell. It was no need to use any navigate APP, because this smell would lead us to the small fishing village smoothly.

We ignored them. I took the camera. Huang Xiaolong kept changing the place to take photos, just when he had taken seven or eight shoots. There came out a black, muscular man who was about 50 -year- old.

“What are you doing?”

I put down the camera which I was about to take photograph. I was politely handed over a cigarette: “Hello, uncle. We’re from Si Shui city. We find the scenery here is so good that we want to take some pictures. I also plan to eat some seafood which is difficult. I’ve heard people in the city saying that seafood in this village is both the freshest and cheapest”

I tried my best to make friend with the old man, the old man caught my cigarette , lit it and started to smoke: “You should have come a month earlier, you see, now there is no fishing. Nothing good to eat. ”

“I would definitely come early if I knew there was such a beautiful place.”

The old man grinned: ” Beautiful？It is quite normal as well as other village.”

“Uncle, you are really modest.” I saw Huang Xiaolong was coming over and then I said: “Uncle, can you sell some seafood to us. Let us try something fresh.”

Uncle looked at us: ” Are you worked for the Bureau of Fisheries?”

“How is it possible, uncle, we are just two man who like delicious food.”

The old man was soon persuaded by us, of course, the main reason was that Huang Xiaolong took out a bunch of money to him. The old man brought us to the shore, then skillfully racked the pot. He took out the seafood and cooked it with water. There were a lot of seafood that I didn’t know about its name, but it tasted good.

Huang Xiaolong even bought a bit of old man’s wine which had been stored for a long time. Then he and the old man started to drink and chat. Soon, the relationship between us and the old man took a few steps further and we knew the name of the old man was Jiang Ada.

Huang Xiaolong’s drinking ability was inborn. They’ve drunk for the whole night, but he didn’t get drunk. I pretended to be drunk, and Jiang Ada was also drunk as well as me. Finally, he promised to let us live in his home at night. Of course, we had to pay for it.

I went back to the room with Huang Xiaolong. Jiang Ada repeated many times to remind us not to go out at night. Then he went back his room. Soon, I heard a loud snore.

I quickly got up and watched Huang Xiaolong. I whispered: “Are you okay？”

Huang Xiaolong’s face was flushed, but his eyes were clear. He waved at me and said, “I’m fine. But it is estimated that the village is not going to be peaceful this night. The old man has said more than 10 times that we should stay at room at night. As long as it’s not as terrible as your hometown, I won’t be afraid of it. Ha ha.”

I looked at Huang Xiaolong a bit angry, “What shall we do next?”

Huang Xiaolong said: “Firstly we sleep for a while, then we take action later, investigate the village. I found that there are all wooden houses which with some gaps. Maybe we can see beautiful girls through them.”

I looked at Huang Xiaolong sneeringly, then I made a phone call to Wu Jian. After I told the news to him in brief, I opened QQ. But there was no information from He Xiaoru on QQ.

Although I pretended to be drunk, I still drank a lot. I took a nap in bed with Huang Xiaolong, listening to the sea breeze, pretending we had fallen asleep. I didn’t know how long the time passed by, I suddenly heard a sound of door opening. I was surprised and hurried to get up.

Huang Xiaolong was also alerted and almost got up at the same time. After taking a glance at me, he went to the window to check it out.

I also walked there. The windows of the small fishing village were not made of glass, but bamboo. Even if they were not opened, we could still see outside through the tiny cracks of bamboo. This also made me and Huang Xiaolong less risky of being discovered.

The view outside was very strange at that time. Because of transportation and fishing, roads and docks of the fishing village had lights and they were still very bright. Just under the lights, I could see that the door of all families was opened. Then all the villagers were slowly walking out of their house, even children were no exception.

There weren’t any conversations as if they were sleepwalking. What made me sick was that a toddler was slowly climbing out of the room. He broke his head on the ground. But the adults around him seemed didn’t realized it. The baby didn’t cry and continued to crawl. Leaving a small stain of blood on the ground.

“What is going on?” I whispered to Huang Xiaolong. But Huang Xiaolong made a silent gesture to me and continued to watch outside.

The villagers continued gathering at the pier. It seemed that everyone had their own position. When they reached their position, they stood upright just like sculptures. All the villagers stood still, but nothing happened.
