"She's a customer. Boss, how can you do business like this?"
"You didn't buy it with sincerity. Why should I sell it to you?"
Wang Nan did not buy it with sincerity, but her face darkened when the boss pointed it out. After a while, she recovered and said, "Boss, you have good eyes."
The boss did not care about Wang Nan's praise at all. Instead, he looked down at Jiujiu and said kindly, "Young lady, it's getting late. You should go back and rest. It's not safe here at night."
When he said the last sentence, the boss's face darkened. It was obvious that he had thought of something bad.
Jiujiu, who had been idling on the side, suddenly heard the boss's kind suggestion. After a moment of surprise, she smiled sweetly at the boss and said, "Thank you, boss. We'll go back now."
When he heard Jiujiu's affirmative answer, the boss's ugly expression instantly eased. He looked at Jiujiu with even gentler eyes.
Wang Nan tightened her grip on the joss sticks and joss paper money. She looked at Jiujiu with even more caution.
If there was only one person who treated Jiujiu well, she could still call it a coincidence. However, from the beginning until now, it seemed that everyone's attitude towards Jiujiu was exceptionally good. She had done so many missions, and every time, those NPCs were all very vigilant and wanted to draw a clear line between them.
It was the first time that an NPC had shown kindness to a quest taker. It was very strange.
However, since the NPC said that it was not safe here at night, it meant that it was indeed not safe here at night.
Wang Nan did not continue to ask about the joss sticks and joss paper money. She brought Jiujiu and Tang Song back to the inn.
When the three of them arrived at the inn, the sky outside was as dark as ink, as if someone had pressed the fast forward button.
The old lady had already prepared dinner for the three of them.
Dinner was extraordinarily bland, with all kinds of vegetables and egg soup. Zhao Xian's face instantly scrunched up, as he would not be happy without meat.
However, although Zhao Xian was unhappy, he did not dare to challenge the old lady. He could only sullenly finish the dinner on the table.
After the meal, everyone returned to their rooms to sleep.
What surprised Jiujiu the most was that when she and Wang Nan returned to the house, the old bed had been replaced by a new one. There was a delicate red rose on both beds.
Since it was a new bed, Jiujiu didn't continue to squeeze with Wang Nan.
After washing up and lying on the bed, Jiujiu closed her eyes and fell asleep.
It was a good night's sleep.
The next morning, the two of them went downstairs.
All eight of them were still there.
However, Zhao Xian's expression turned even uglier.
Yesterday, his face was just a little pale, but today, it was a little green. Through his dark skin, one could see the two huge dark circles under his eyes.
Compared to Zhao Xian's ugly expression, Chen Xiaoyao was like a rose that had been watered, growing even more delicate and beautiful.
Before, she was already so beautiful that people couldn't help but look at her. Now, she was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
Zhao Xian and Chen Xiaoyao's changes formed a sharp contrast, making people uncontrollably fearful.
Although everyone loved beauty, if this beautiful rose became a man-eating flower, no one would dare to have any ideas about her.
After the meal, Chen Xiaoyao and Zhao Xian left again.
Jiujiu, Wang Nan, and Tang Song went to the incense paper money shop together. They wanted to follow the villagers who had bought incense paper money to see what they were doing with it.
Soon, a villager bought incense and paper money and headed north.
Wang Nan and the other two hurriedly followed.
The villager walked all the way north for more than two hours before arriving at a temple.
The temple was different from the solemnity of ordinary temples. The whole temple gave people a particularly eerie and terrifying feeling. Even though they were more than a hundred meters away, they could still feel the gloomy and cold aura emanating from the temple.
There was something wrong with this temple.
The three of them looked at each other and carefully followed, ready to see what the villager was doing.
They saw the villager stop when he was a hundred meters away from the temple. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. Then, he walked ten steps and kowtowed three times. Just like that, he walked ten steps and kowtowed three times until he reached the entrance of the temple.
When he reached the entrance of the temple, the villager stopped again. This time, he kowtowed ten times.
After he finished kowtowing, the originally tightly shut temple door slowly opened with a creak, revealing the full interior of the temple.
Inside the temple, there was a statue of a virgin boy and a virgin girl. Right above the statue, there were three large words: River Deity Temple.
Even though Jiujiu knew that the villagers were going to sacrifice ten virgin boys and girls to the River Deity, who would have thought that the River Deity's appearance was actually that of a virgin boy and a virgin girl?
This appearance was a sharp contrast to Jiujiu's impression of a benevolent old man with a long beard.
The villager stepped into the River Deity Temple.
The moment the villager walked in, Jiujiu seemed to see the corners of the virgin boy and girl statue's mouth curl up.
The moment the villager walked into the River Deity Temple, the opened door closed again with a bang. The villager just now was like a rabbit sent to the mouth of a tiger, instantly drowned in darkness.
The moment the door closed, Jiujiu seemed to see the eyes of the virgin boy and girl statue shake.
Because the door was closed, they couldn't see what was going on inside. They could only stand outside and continue to wait.
Soon, there were more villagers coming to kowtow.
One by one, the villagers walked into the River Deity Temple.
However, until Jiujiu and the others left, none of the villagers came out.
Seeing that it was getting late, if they didn't go back now, they wouldn't be able to go back. Jiujiu and the others could only return to the inn with regret.
After returning to the inn, the old woman still prepared dinner for them. Just like yesterday, it was a vegetarian feast.
After everyone finished eating, they went back.
Jiujiu and Wang Nan returned to the house. Then, Jiujiu saw that all the beds that had been turned into new beds last night were all old beds.
On the bedside table of one of the beds, there were two vases with hand bones.
Jiujiu and Wang Nan's expressions changed.
Especially Wang Nan, her expression was simply too ugly.
According to the situation on the first night, the old beds were for the skeletons to sleep on. In other words, the two of them couldn't sleep on the bed tonight.
If that was the case, it would be fine. They could sleep on the floor. However, the problem was that there were three vases in this house, which meant that there were three skeletons.
If two skeletons slept on the bed, then the remaining skeleton would be in danger. No matter if they chose to sleep on the bed or something else.
This wasn't a multiple-choice question at all. It was a question of death.
Because no matter what they chose, there was only one result waiting for them.
That was to be killed by the skeletons.
Clearly, she had already faced life and death in the previous games, but facing life and death again, Wang Nan was a little panicked. She even regretted playing this game again.
