1TWITF[C Chapter 28

Chapter 28

Lu Yanli leaned against the wall, gasping for breath, and lowered his head, hiding the gloom between his brows.

He heard He Lou’s words and naturally understood that He Lou remembered.

Like Ding Conglu, he remembered twenty-four hours before the wedding.

Therefore, the dishes at the wedding banquet were not the key. These dishes probably had other uses, or they were simply disgusting them.

And now, He Lou wanted to drag him down too.

He Lou was still talking inside, convincing Shen Na and others, planning to go to the village chief to be a witness.

Being caught red-handed scheming behind someone’s back, especially someone as troublesome as Lu Yanli, He Lou could already imagine how the other party was plotting to kill him.

He admitted that deep down, he was particularly afraid of him.

Since he had discovered it, Lu Yanli had nothing to hide: “Yes, I heard it just now.” He turned his gaze to Shen Na and smiled. “Actually, there’s no need to choose me, is there? Shen Na.”

That lip reading made He Lou swallow back what he wanted to say—if Lu Yanli could think of a way, he wouldn’t really care about others.

“Yes, that’s right, Liu Xia just died, it should be him, right?”

Shen Na was still hesitating, but He Lou turned around and persuaded her. The two of them took turns, and Shen Na somewhat confusedly agreed.

Tomorrow is the ghost marriage, today is his death date. He Lou had no time to think too much, what methods did he still have to escape?

Even if Lu Yanli was terrible, if he didn’t plan to deal with him, but used this thought to help complete the task, it would still make people feel a lot more at ease.

Clearly everyone was threatened by death, if He Lou went to notify the village chief at this time, then Lu Yanli would not survive the next day, but the expression on the other party’s face was still so indifferent, as if he was saying what he had eaten for dinner today.

A burst of noisy clamor came from a distance, and it could be heard that the villagers were coming this way. Those villagers still had smiles on their faces, which in He Lou’s eyes, was no different from the smile of the Grim Reaper.

He was about to be executed! As soon as the villagers arrived, he would be executed!

Extend the wedding date? Would the village chief believe it? Wouldn’t that be a violation of the rules?

At this time, whether it was a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, he had to break through it. How could he care about whether it was true or false? Even if it was fake, he had to try it!

“Okay, since that’s the case, then I’ll tell you, just run away.” Lu Yanli said casually.

“Wh-what?” What kind of answer was that? He Lou was shocked.

“Where to run is your business, I only ask you, stay for a month…how long do you think you have lived here?” Lu Yanli didn’t care at all, he took out a thin notebook from his bag and handed it over.

How long have they lived? Haven’t they lived here for several years?

Wait! They clearly only lived…

He Lou was surprised to find that he couldn’t answer this question.

The memories in his mind were chaotic, he remembered living in this village with his partners for several years according to the rules; and another memory told him that when the “newcomers” kowtowed during the first wedding banquet, they lost their memories, and in their memories, time was directly dialed to three years later; and when they finished holding the second wedding for Chen Zhenghao and Ding Conglu, the world in his memory was dialed back several months!

He Lou hadn’t sorted out his thoughts yet, and subconsciously took the notebook from Lu Yanli: “What is this?”

As soon as he opened it, he stopped.

Whose diary is this?

He Lou realized that this notebook looked a little familiar. Since entering this world, An Xingyu would write something in the notebook when he had time, either to keep a diary or to do problems. When asked, he only said: “If I can go back safely, I still have to take the college entrance examination.”

As for not being able to go back…even his life was gone, what was there to talk about exams?

As for lying, as long as no one exposes it, he doesn’t admit it, he is safe.

An Xingyu took the diary, a little unhappy, but he didn’t say anything, took the diary in his hand, and nodded to He Lou. Zhao Chuan looked into the distance and smiled: “The village chief is coming, he must be here to see Lou off.”

Seeing that he didn’t pester him, He Lou felt a little relieved and thought about another thing in his mind: Why did Lu Yanli take An Xingyu’s diary? Did An Xingyu record something?

The villagers had already walked closer, and Shen Na and others happily greeted them, explaining the situation to the village chief who was walking in the front.

The village chief was unspeakably happy when he heard that they had all found a ghost marriage partner, and kept saying good things. The wrinkles on his wrinkled face were deeply raised. Everyone was very happy, cheering to welcome the happy event in the village.

But He Lou couldn’t laugh.

He had already seen a villager walking behind the village chief, holding a tray in his hand, with a dagger on the tray!

They were here to send him on his way!

So, the way out…what exactly was the way out?!

Was it really like what Lu Yanli said, just run away? If the time hadn’t come, he would definitely die if he ran out.

At the same time, Lu Yanli turned his head and gently reminded the other party: “The diary is not the point, the point is the time on the diary.”

Yes, time…the time in the entire Red River Village was chaotic.

All along, the entire village was known for observing the rules, no matter what they did, they had to abide by the rules and strictly follow the village rules.

But the entire village was the most chaotic existence!

In this chaotic village, was it really necessary to abide by the outside world’s time? According to the “rules” of the village, they had lived for several years. If it was necessary to follow the flow of time in the outside world, it meant that this village “did not abide by the rules”, and things that did not abide by the rules could not survive in the village.

Could it be that…this was the way out?

He Lou took out his mobile phone from his pocket and tried to see the time, but the mobile phone was broken at some point.

“Don’t look at me, my mobile phone can’t see the time either.” As soon as He Lou turned his head to ask, Lu Yanli replied directly.

Calm down, this was the only opportunity now.

Lu Yanli couldn’t possibly help him escape, he was very likely to take advantage of his running away and the villagers coming to chase him to escape as well.

But as of now, this was his only chance of survival.

Despite this, He Lou still tentatively asked: “Village chief, I want to hold the wedding with my friends, do you think it can be…postponed for a few days?”

“Postponed for a few days?”

All the villagers looked over in unison, their mouths opening and closing.

Lu Yanli observed carefully.

The villagers’ appearances were all very ordinary, just like ordinary people, nothing special, but, once someone violated the rules, their faces would collectively be distorted, becoming flat and pale.

Just like…paper figures.

The village chief said: “You set the wedding date, but you want to go back on your word?”

As soon as He Lou saw the change, he immediately changed his words: “No, I just want to be with my friends, we came to Red River Village together…”

“I won’t change the wedding date!” Seeing that mouth was about to swallow him in, and he could only freeze in place unable to move, He Lou immediately changed his words.

Everything happened quickly, the village chief’s wide-open mouth froze in place because of this sentence, and the other villagers also stopped. The entire scene was as if the video had pressed the pause button, no one moved.

Even Lu Yanli followed suit and didn’t move.

One second.

Two seconds.

……

“I won’t change the wedding date, I’ll get married on the original date?”

Facing the village chief, He Lou only felt endless Yin and cold and terror. His intuition told him that if he didn’t change his words again, he might be swallowed into this terrifying mouth in the next second, and there would be no chance of escape.

After an unknown amount of time, the village chief finally moved, his face returned to normal, and he couldn’t see at all that he had just been able to swallow a whole person directly.

“Is that so? You’ve all found a partner?” The village chief, who had turned into a normal person, was very surprised, with a concerned expression.

“Yes! We’ve found them.” He Lou pretended to be calm, his back was already wet, and the coolness of the wind made him even more awake.

“Shen Na and Liu Xia, Zhao Chuan and Wang Jing, An Xingyu and…” He Lou was stuck.

Shen Na, Ding Conglu, Lü Xiuxiu, Wang Jing, there were only these four female members in their team!

What about An Xingyu?

An Xingyu also turned his head to look at him suspiciously, with a hint of innocence on his face. At this moment, he really looked like an ordinary high school student, not the calm teenager who was almost a robot when they first met.

Sweat oozed from He Lou’s forehead: “Yes, I’ve found one, you and…you and…” His gaze involuntarily glanced around, trying to find a suitable partner.

“Who am I with?” An Xingyu pressed.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a murderous look suddenly projected from the latter’s eyes.

Lu Yanli said behind him: “He Lou, in Red River Village, men and men cannot get married, that’s not in accordance with the rules.”

Rules, it’s the rules again!

So, not having a ghost marriage partner was the key to survival?

Lu Yanli glanced at He Lou and retracted his gaze, not paying much attention to the other party’s nonsense in desperation. He was still thinking about the scene just now.

After the village chief opened his mouth, it was full of bloody red liquid. These things could be said to be blood, or they could be said to be other things, for example, the Red River in the village.

He also thought of the red mushroom he ate, and after biting it, it would splash out the same bloody, foul-smelling, blood-filled liquid.

Did these things have anything in common?

He Lou’s influence in the crowd was still there, Shen Na, Zhao Chuan all nodded, and several people who had not found a suitable partner were not discouraged, and congratulated them without any grudges.

He Lou’s whole body tensed up.

Twenty-four hours before the wedding date, the memories would be restored, was it really true?

Now, the most important thing was to get them away.

“Village chief, look…”

Shen Na: “I have no objections.”

Zhao Chuan and Wang Jing also nodded.

He Lou pointed to the wedding clothes held by a villager: “Village chief, since there are more people getting married, aren’t these wedding clothes not enough? Are there any others?”

The village chief suddenly remembered, nodded, and told the other villagers to go get them quickly.

More than half of the seven or eight villagers following behind were gone.

He Lou understood, the opportunity had come.

The village chief walked in the front, pacing into the courtyard, he walked and asked: “I haven’t asked you yet, what kind of death do you like? He Lou, do you think using a knife is okay? That knife is very sharp, it can cut the throat in one go.”

“Shen Na, what about you?”

Shen Na frowned: “I want to change one, why don’t someone strangle me to death with their own hands, I like the feeling of the palm slowly pinching my neck and then suffocating.”

Zhao Chuan then said: “I don’t want a knife either, just use boiling water, pour it from head to toe, and it will be cooked immediately.”

Once they talked about this topic, everyone became interested and discussed their favorite way to die.

You guys, remember!

Quick!

He Lou realized that his psychological quality was even stronger, and he was able to listen to these things without changing his face. He was desperately shouting in his heart. Finally, perhaps his prayers worked, and he caught a glimpse of Shen Na’s face suddenly changing.

This, this is…

Shen Na’s face suddenly turned incomparably pale, she recalled everything.

She, what was she doing?

Tomorrow was her death date? And she just said her own way of death?

The strong psychological quality trained by long-term missions allowed her to endure it and not show any abnormality. And He Lou had quickly walked to her side, held her hand tightly, looked straight at her, and slowly and heavily shook his head, mouthing silently: “I have a way.”

Zhao Chuan and Wang Jing were not so lucky.

In a few minutes, Zhao Chuan’s face also began to turn pale, and strange and familiar memories flooded into his brain.

He, their mission…

He actually set up a ghost marriage for himself? And it was tomorrow?!

He also knew to close his mouth and not shout, but with his expression, the village chief could already understand.

“Someone is not abiding by the rules, and wants to elope…” The village chief said Silent.

The faces of the other villagers turned pale and flat in an instant.

“You don’t abide by the rules…”

Their figures became light and Piaopiao, and they flew towards Zhao Chuan at a rapid speed, determined to catch this person who did not abide by the rules and punish him properly!

Shen Na followed closely, like an arrow leaving the string, escaping to the edge of the village.

Must……must escape!
