Chapter 292 292. Die well, die well!

"This is Aman, you will stay at her house tonight."

Jian Jia introduced.

This sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was relatively plain-looking. When she saw Qiao Mu and Qianyun, she felt a little timid and did not dare to look at them.

"Thank you, village chief."

Qiao Mu thanked the village chief and greeted Aman.

The girl's eyes were wandering and she didn't respond. She only took half a step back.

"Aman is more afraid of strangers. If you have anything to do, just tell her directly."

Jianjia said.

"oh!"

Qiao Mu nodded vigorously.

"This, this way."

Aman made a squirming sound like a mosquito, then took steps, timidly leading the two of them forward.

Qiao Mu casually counted and found that there were only forty or fifty houses in the village, and there were probably less than two hundred people in the village. For a village that existed 3,600 years ago, it was really shabby.

Some of the houses are obviously old, while others are brand new. It seems that the houses here have all been renovated. Otherwise, any house that has been left here for 3,600 years would have turned into a weathered cultural relic.

"Someone among you is dying, do you know who it is?"

Qiao Mu asked.

He had no intention of using the [Dating Handbook] to collect information for the time being. He mainly wanted to prevent this little girl from having any unwanted thoughts about him. It would not be appropriate if he climbed into Qiao Mu's bed in the middle of the night.

"Yes, it's Old Man Gao from the south of the village."

Aman replied in a dull voice.

She gave Qiao Mu the impression that she was the kind of child from a poor area on TV. Although she was full of curiosity about the outside world, she also had low self-esteem and autism and did not dare to reveal herself too much.

"So, Old Man Goriot is not dead yet?"

Qiao Mu recalled Jian Jia's words before, saying that someone was about to die, not that the person was already dead. Although he was a little curious about how people here knew that their life span was about to end, that was not the focus now.

"Well, he, he should die tonight."

Aman replied that although the conversation between the two people was a bit outrageous, considering that this was Penglai, it was not that outrageous.

"We want to say hello to Old Man Goriot. Do you think you can take us there?"

Qiao Mu said immediately.

Aman obviously didn't expect Qiao Mu to be so direct. She hesitated for a while before slowly nodding.

Along the road, they passed through two fields. Something seemed to be planted in the paddy field. When Qiao Mu saw it, the seedlings were trembling slightly in the wind, like waving hands.

The house in the south of the village had a courtyard, and Qiao Mu saw a stone lion placed at the door of the courtyard.

"Why is there a stone lion here?"

Qiao Mu asked immediately.

"Old man Gao Gao likes carving, he carved it."

Aman replied hesitantly.

"so smart."

Qiao Mu looked at the stone lion. Although it looked different from the one in his world, it was quite delicate and the carving skills were good.

This house is located in the shadow of the mountain and is slightly dim. Qiao Mu discovered that Old Man Gao did not live alone. There were two middle-aged people in his family who looked to be in their thirties or forties, one man and one woman, and another person in his sixties or seventies. The atmosphere in the room was very strange for the children, who were about 10 years old. Everyone was silent.

It seems that they should be Old Man Gao's son, daughter, and grandson.

Old Man Goriot sat on a chair with his eyes half closed.

Seeing Aman coming in with a stranger, everyone in the room except Old Man Gao looked wary and stared at Qiao Mu and Qianyun.

"Hello, I'm Qiao Mu. I heard that you were dying, so I came to visit."

After Aman revealed their identities, Qiao Mu got straight to the point.

The woman next to him smiled when he heard this.

"Yes, dad is finally going to die, and it's just a good time for you."

The man next to him also held his wife's hand.

"You stay here, there is a banquet tomorrow, let's celebrate."

It seemed that when their father's death was mentioned, the faces of these two people became rosy.

"Die well, die well!"

The child started shouting at this time.

If placed in Qiao Mu's world, such a naughty kid would have been beaten up by his family, but in Penglai, no one cared about what he said, so it was a good death to die like this.

"Lao Gao, we have met each other and can be considered friends. I want to ask, how did you know you were going to die?"

Qiao Mu asked again.

Anyway, Old Man Goriot would be dead tomorrow, so he used the [Dating Handbook] without hesitation.

"When the time comes, it's time to die."

Old Man Goriot's voice was low, as if there were countless bugs crawling in his throat.

"Does everyone else in the village know when they're going to die?"

Qiao Mu asked again.

"Everyone knows their fate."

Old Man Goriot answered again.

"Do you know Tai Sui?"

Upon hearing Qiao Mu's words, the temperature of the entire room suddenly seemed to drop to freezing point.

The couple looked at Qiao Mu with stiff expressions, and even the naughty child they were holding didn't make a sound.

Aman became frightened, put his hands on the hem of his clothes, and kept kneading.

Old Man Gao looked at Qiao Mu. His eyes were empty, like a mirror inside.

"not here."

he replied hoarsely.

"not here?"

Qianyun's nose twitched slightly, and she could smell that there was a very strong smell of Tai Sui here.

"not here."

Old Man Goriot repeated it again.

"All right."

Qiao Mu felt that there might be no clues, so he nodded.

Saying goodbye to the family, they followed Aman and left.

"You know Tai Sui."

Qiao Mu followed Aman and said.

"If you didn't know Tai Sui, you wouldn't have behaved like that just now."

That was a reaction that obviously knew the meaning of Tai Sui.

Qianyun looked at Qiao Mu, wondering what he was trying to do by saying this.

Because there must be secrets in this village, secrets related to Tai Sui, so asking Qiao Mu about these would be like alerting the enemy.

"I-I don't know what Tai Sui is."

Aman immediately denied it.

But judging from her performance, it was obvious that she knew something.

"oh!"

Qiao Mu didn't ask further questions.

The three returned to Aman's home.

"You're the only one in your house?"

This house is obviously more lifelike, and there are some small animals carved from wood on the windowsill, which shows the delicate heart of the owner.

But there was no one else, so Qiao Mu couldn't help but ask.

"Um."

Aman nodded and pointed to another room with a stone bed inside.

"I'll bring you straw to make your bed."

She said, taking a large bundle of straw from the yard and spreading it evenly on the bed, so that it could temporarily sleep.

There is only one bed.

Qiao Mu and Qianyun looked at each other.

"Let me tell you in advance that I will not give up my bed."

Qiao Mu said first.

"."

Qianyun didn't want to complain.

"Can we take a walk around the village?"

Qiao Mu asked Aman again.

"Sister Jianjia didn't say no."

Aman hesitated for a moment before answering.

"okay!"

Qiao Mu responded and looked at Qianyun.

"Let's go out for a walk first."

He was still waiting to hear the gossip from Qianyun.

Qian Yun looked at Qiao Mu walking out and sighed.

After walking out of Aman's house, Qianyun glanced at the terrain of the village and pointed to the terraces higher up.

"We'll talk as we walk."

"Great!"

Qiao Mu walked side by side on the high field ridge.

"Now can we talk about what happened in Suiming Village?"

Hearing this, Qianyun glanced at Qiao Mu and then spoke.

"According to the records in the documents, Suiming Village was not a naturally formed village, but was formed by people from the Changsheng Palace who turned into bandits."
