Chapter 74 You still need to buy your cousin's things on credit.
Although Sun Zhao is the main character, in the script he is just an ordinary junior college student.
Wusheng Village has many rules, and Yan Yu himself is even more sinister, not to mention the Cimu Hall, which exudes strangeness everywhere.
He also remembered something: before realizing that Yan Yu had appeared, Gu Jia preferred to hide behind the statue of the Compassionate Mother rather than face Yan Yu directly. Doesn't this mean that in this instance, Yan Yu is more dangerous than the Compassionate Mother?
Sun Yue was somewhat out of touch. She didn't have many scenes in the script, and like Gu Jia, she was just cannon fodder used to fill out the role.
Seeing how closely the group was discussing, she couldn't help but speak up.
"Isn't anyone curious about who Yan Yu's marriage partner is?"
“There are no women of marriageable age in the village at all,” she said slowly. “People from outside the village…it seems like they don’t like this place.”
When these people appeared outside the village, the people in the county showed extremely disgusted expressions when Wusheng Village was mentioned, saying that it was not a normal place.
Upon hearing that they were going on a hiking adventure, he showed pity and urged them to go back immediately.
Sun Yue and the others naturally wanted to go back, but the plot forced them to be the kind of reckless, suicidal fools who wouldn't listen to advice.
"Given the attitudes of outsiders... I doubt anyone outside would be willing to marry their daughter into this family," Sun Yue said.
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhao added, "That person shouldn't be allowed to leave Wusheng Village."
"He mentioned it several times while we were in the car, that he had never left the village."
“He has a special status in the village, and I don’t think he can leave here even after getting married.”
In this way, no one would send their daughters here to suffer, since most of the people in Wusheng Village have left, and there are almost no able-bodied young men left in the village.
"Speaking of which, since you joined the folk culture group, have you ever heard of any place called 'Baikan'?" Ruan Yun asked.
Sun Zhao shook his head. Although his script also attempted to explore the origins of this belief by starting with this title, he found nothing.
Along with the Goddess of Compassion, it seems to be just a unique belief culture of this isolated little village—or, to be precise, mostly made up by the movie.
“However, there are young people in the village,” Sun Yue said. “I found a Xiaoxiao Supermarket in the village.”
"The boss is at most in his early 30s."
Wusheng Village is not very large. When they were looking for clues this morning, they all went to see Xiaoxiao Supermarket.
Despite the shopkeeper's smiling gaze that seemed to say, "You really don't buy anything? How stingy!", I ended up buying some snacks.
“I asked the owner if there was any business here,” Ruan Yun said. “He said he could manage to get by.”
"I can't find a decent job outside, so I might as well go back to the village. Anyway, I can grow my own food and I don't need much else."
In the movie, they are a group of curious and fearless college students who come to join in the fun after seeing the news that the streamer quit the internet after exploring the Wusheng Village.
Naturally, they want to know everything and ask about everything.
And they gradually disappeared while inquiring and wandering around.
“In the main hall of the Compassionate Mother Hall, under the golden statue of the Compassionate Mother Goddess, there are quite a few wooden boxes,” Sun Zhao added a clue. “There are talismans pasted on them, as if they are trapping something.”
The Cimu Hall is not open to the public, and this is all the information Sun Zhao could see.
Seeing that everyone had finished their discussion, Sun Zhao stood up and said, "I'll leave first."
"I'll go look for Yan Xun in the neighborhood again."
……
Yan Yu walked with her parents through the old house.
The two were somewhat apprehensive, and he knew, of course, what they were afraid of.
Upon arriving at the door of Yan Xun's temporary residence, Yan Xun's father turned around and said, "Everything is here."
Yan Yu nodded, his previous polite demeanor vanished, and he simply pushed open the door to go inside—
“Baikan,” Yan Xun’s father finally spoke, “your wedding…”
"Of course it will be held as scheduled." Yan Yu smiled slightly. "You all came back to Wusheng Village just to attend my wedding."
"The temple fair will begin soon."
"Don't wander around at night either."
He seemed to be offering a kind reminder, or perhaps a warning... and then, under the watchful eyes of Yan's parents, he pushed open Yan Xun's door and went inside.
Yan Xun's room didn't have many things, but what Yan Yu found annoying was the bedding on the floor.
He walked over and kicked it aside before going through Yan Xun's luggage.
The contents were simple; besides the charger he mentioned, there was also a computer in the suitcase.
Yan Yu glanced at it a few times, then packed everything he thought Yan Xun might need into his backpack, and then took out some snacks from his suitcase and put them all in as well.
When he left Yan Xun's room, Yan Xun's parents were still there.
Finally, Yan Xun's mother spoke up, "...Is Yan Xun still alive?"
Yan Yu looked surprised, seemingly not understanding why they were asking that question.
“Of course he’s still alive,” he said to Yan Xun’s mother. “It’s just that it’s not safe here, so I’ve moved him to another place.”
"You don't need to worry."
He looked towards the courtyard as he spoke, “Those outsiders… cannot be trusted.”
"So you absolutely must not mention this to them."
"Just continue your search as usual these next few days."
The two men looked on with a mixture of disbelief and skepticism, but they nodded anyway and said they understood.
Only then did Yan Yu leave the Yan family home with his backpack.
At the entrance of the Yan family's old residence, he saw Gu Jia squatting at the door. Yan Yu acted as if he hadn't seen him and was about to pass by.
Gu Jia knew everything and naturally understood what Yan Yu was plotting.
He stood up, wanting to ask Yan Yu if he was really planning to kill Yan Xun, when he saw the "divine servant" from Wusheng Village suddenly turn his head.
"You rats, if you're going to sneak around and do something bad again..."
"I think everyone in the village would be happy to exterminate the rats."
"For outsiders to trespass into the Cimu Hall at night..." Yan Yu smiled slightly, "is a capital offense."
Gu Jia felt a lump in his throat, wanting to ask if there was any law in Wusheng Village, but then he remembered that Wusheng Village seemed to be full of lawless madmen.
For them, if any outsiders trespassed into the Cimu Hall, they would indeed be executed.
……
Yan Xun left his temporary residence and decided to go shopping at Xiaoxiao Supermarket.
When he arrived at Xiaoxiao Supermarket, the owner was still sitting behind the counter, studying lottery tickets with his head down.
Seeing Yan Xun approach, he simply looked up and asked, "Did you bring money this time?"
"Put it on Yan Yu's tab," Yan Xun said, then went to the supermarket to get some toiletries, snacks, and drinks.
The boss waved his hand, as if to indicate to Yan Xun that he had already memorized it.
Yan Xun took the items but didn't leave. Leaning against the counter, she asked the shop owner, "What's your name, sir? How should I address you?"
"Me?" The boss pointed to himself. "My name is not important."
"You can just call me boss."
He tossed the lottery ticket aside. "Speak, what do you want to ask?"
Yan Xun spoke up upon hearing this, "I heard from my cousin that the temple fair in Wusheng Village is very lively." He leaned half-on on the counter, looking at the shopkeeper, "But there aren't many people in Wusheng Village."
"How can we make it lively?"
The shopkeeper started chewing his toothpick again. "Never mind that, it'll be lively once the temple fair starts." As if remembering something, he said to Yan Xun, "I heard your parents are quite successful in their business?"
"Then why don't you have money and have to buy your cousin's things on credit?"
