That night, Xu Fan slept very restlessly..

He woke up nearly ten times throughout the night.

It could be said that…the old village chief's words made him realize that ghosts existed in this village. Therefore, he did not dare to relax his vigilance in the face of a strange existence with ghosts, even if he was really sleepy..

of course.

Besides that... there's another factor that's important to his insomnia..

And that's why, while he was sleeping, he dreamed several times that his wife was coming out of the fog of blood with that giant sickle to chop him down..

then.

Xu Fan looked at Xiao Qiu Hui beside him..

He was wondering if he was under too much psychological pressure, so he had this dream..

After 9:00 in the morning.

Xu Fan slowly woke up..

He opened his eyes and found that Qiu Hui had disappeared beside him. However, she had left a small red flower cut from paper on the bed. It seemed to be for him. Xu Fan looked at it..

He smiled, took the red flower, and walked out of the bedroom..

When he walked out of the bedroom, Qiu Hui, who was playing in the room, saw Xu Fan directly. Then, she ran over happily and threw herself into his arms." Dad, you're awake..

"Well, I'm not sure..

"Everyone laughs..

He reached out and rubbed Qiu Hui's head..

At that time, he didn't notice that the curse mark on his body was turning bright red!.

She looked like she had just finished drying her clothes. She was still holding a wooden basin in her hand. She walked in and looked at Xu Fan in front of her. She smiled and said,"Are you awake? The porridge is in the pot. I'll go and heat it up for you.".

Xu Fan originally wanted to refuse and go directly to the old village chief, but Yao Xiaoling had already put down the basin and went directly to Xu Fan to serve porridge. Xu Fan looked at it and stopped talking..

Xu Fan stood.

He started looking around..

He noticed that there was a group photo pasted on the wall. There were a bunch of people in the photo. They were standing under the village sign of Happiness Village and smiling happily..

Among them... including their family.

" So..."" Is this a group photo of the villagers of Happiness Village?" Xu Fan looked at it and his mind moved..

He immediately wanted to find Zhao Qingnian in this photo. After all, he still didn't know what the old village chief looked like..

Xu Fan turned to Yao Xiaoling..

He shook his head secretly. He understood that he definitely could not ask Yao Xiaoling who Zhao Qingnian was in the photo, because if he did, he would definitely expose himself..

Who else should I ask? -I wonder..

He turned and looked at Little Qiu Hui..

The next moment, he revealed his uncle's smile: "Xiao Hui's father and you play a game, okay?".

"Yes, sir..

"Little Qiu Hui laughed happily..

Xu Fan smiled and picked her up. Then he pointed at the photo and said,"The rules of the game are very simple, that is, whoever Dad points to, you say who he is.".

Little Qiu Hui still smiled happily: "Good boy.".

"Everyone laughs..

He started playing games with Qiu Hui.

Perhaps it was because he had his wife's curse on him that his luck value was very low. Therefore, after Xu Fan pointed at three people, he pointed at Zhao Qingnian. Little Qiu Hui called out "Uncle Qingnian.".

Xu Fan watched..

He smiled again: OK..

However, Xu Fan didn't stop immediately. Instead, he continued to play with Qiu Hui for a while..

During that process…Yao Xiaoling even looked up at them..

She smiled as she watched them having fun..

... follow-up.

Xu Fan and Xiao Qiu Hui played the game well.

He's going over for porridge..

However, it was also at this moment that he suddenly noticed through the door that the sky outside was pitch-black. It was as black as night. However, it was past nine in the morning. How could the sky be pitch-black?.

Just now, his attention was focused on the photo and he didn't notice anything strange outside..

" Did I see the wrong time?" Xu Fan frowned..

He immediately opened the system panel to check.

On the panel…clearly displayed: [World Time of Consciousness: 9:20 PM].

At the same time, there is also a note below that the time flow of consciousness is different from that of the quasi-world..

Xu Fan didn't care about the rest. He only stared at the time of the consciousness world displayed on the system panel. It clearly showed that it was 9:20..

So, this time is not wrong..

But why is the sky so dark after 9 o'clock? Xu Fan felt something was wrong..

He immediately went to the door to check.

In the end, he realized that the entire house was pitch black. The houses in the village were all shrouded in darkness, like a creepy haunted house..

Besides…the moon in the sky had already turned black…It was like a ghost floating around the dark clouds, looking very eerie..

Xu Fan watched..

Xu Fan subconsciously thought of these two words..

It was also at this moment…footsteps suddenly came from behind him..

Yao Xiaoling carried a basin of clothes and pants and walked directly to Xu Fan's side." Don't stand there. I've already heated the porridge. It's on the table. Hurry up and eat it.".

After saying that, Yao Xiaoling went straight into the yard and began to dry clothes like nothing happened..

One thing…another…Xu Fan watched..

He was slightly emotional. She couldn't see the darkness in the sky."Do you still want to dry your clothes in this kind of sky?".

"It seems to be a quiet test..

Isn't the weather good? The sun is so bright, it should dry in a few hours..

Yao Xiaoling dried her clothes and said with a smile without looking back..

Xu Fan's expression became serious..

Because the other party said, Sun!.

But... it's night..

"So…""Yao Xiaoling is lying?""Or does she really not see that the sky is black?" Xu Fan looked up at the sky..

He felt like everything was starting to get weird..

In the courtyard…Yao Xiaoling was still basking in the sun..

During that process, she even urged Xu Fan to eat porridge quickly. Don't stand here..

Xu Fan stood.

But he couldn't listen..

Xu Fan realized that Yao Xiaoling's clothes were dripping blood instead of water..

Therefore, there is something wrong with this village. The villagers in this village are also wrong..

Xu Fan watching.

He decided to find the old village chief immediately! Xu Fan prepared to go out.

However, before he left, he planned to drink the porridge to avoid arousing suspicion. At the same time, he wanted to replenish his strength. After all, he was really hungry now..

However…when he walked to the dining table, he could not drink anymore! He saw that what was placed in front of him was not a simple bowl of porridge, but a bowl full of raw rice. On the full bowl of raw rice, there was even a word written in blood: porridge! Xu Fan looked at it.

He gasped inwardly..

This village is really abnormal..

"So…""Everything that happened last night was just an illusion?"…Outside the house..

Yao Xiaoling came in after drying her clothes..

Her hands were stained with blood, but she looked at Xu Fan as if she didn't notice it." What's wrong? Why don't you drink porridge? Is it cold? If it's cold, I'll heat it up for you again.".

"In front of me, this wife still seems so simple and kind, but Xu Fan at this time does not feel the slightest bit of so-called warmth. He even feels a little scared in his heart.".

Such a strange environment and such a gentle wife were the ultimate contrast!.

He wondered if the wife in front of him really couldn't see all this, or was she pretending?.

Xu Fan couldn't see through it for a long time.

Xu Fan took a deep breath. He temporarily did not think about this, but looked calmly at his wife and said,"I don't want to eat. I have something to do. I will go out first.".

Then he went outside..

During that process…Xu Fan's peripheral vision was always staring at Yao Xiaoling..

He was worried that Yao Xiaoling would suddenly rise up and attack him, so he stared at Yao Xiaoling from the corner of his eyes. He was even prepared to take out the cursed knife from his inventory at any time..

fortunately.

Until he walked out the door…Yao Xiaoling didn't do anything strange to him. She didn't attack him..

... the gate..

Xu Fan walked to the center of the courtyard.

He heaved a sigh of relief. He was really nervous just now..

He was worried that Yao Xiaoling would suddenly change and kill him. Fortunately, Yao Xiaoling did not do that in the end. He walked out alive..

"Dad.

Suddenly, there was a cry from Little Qiu Hui behind him..

Xu Fan turned around and saw Little Qiu Hui standing on the cement threshold at the door. He smiled at him and said," When you come back, can you bring me a few small stones?".

"Little Qiu Hui smiled..

[Prompt: ][Mission triggered: Bring a stone by the river to my daughter.].

Mission Content: Please go to the river and carefully select a few beautiful stones to bring back to your daughter.

Mission Reward: Daughter's Love, Daughter's Blessing, and a red string bracelet woven from daughter's hair.

Xu Fan watched.

He took a deep breath inside..

Then, he looked at Little Qiu Hui standing on the threshold, and a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Okay, Dad will bring you.

"Little Qiu Hui stood still..

Her eyes immediately turned into crescents." Thank you, Dad!"[Prompt: ][Player has attracted Qiu Hui's favorable impression in the special world. Friendship +10. Current Friendship 75.

Hint: Player has attracted Yao Xiaoling's favorable impression in the special world. Friendship +15. Current Friendship 45.

] Lines of information pop up.

Xu Fan's gaze stopped at the last line. His eyes trembled. Yao Xiaoling's friendliness increased by 15 to 45? That means Yao Xiaoling's friendliness was only 30? Xu Fan's heart skipped a beat..

So, this looks gentle and virtuous, loves his wife very much, actually hates himself very much? Xu Fan stood.

He was suddenly glad that he didn't sleep in Yao Xiaoling's room last night. Otherwise, he might have died on that bed today..

He felt a chill behind him.

He finally understood why Yao Xiaoling satisfied herself in her room last night because she and her husband were not on good terms..

at least.

Her heart is! Xu Fan thought.

He felt that he really needed to finish his mission and leave this place quickly..

The next moment, Xu Fan quickly walked forward and left this house..

... in the house..

Little Qiu Hui is already standing on the threshold.

Yao Xiaoling watched as she slowly stood behind Qiu Hui. Little Qiu Hui noticed that she raised her head and looked at Yao Xiaoling with a smile." Mom, Dad promised to bring me stones…".

Yao Xiaoling's face showed a gentle smile: "Yes.".

"The laughter is even happier..

Yao Xiaoling stood there. She looked up at Xu Fan." Although you're not my real husband, you're indeed better than him to Xiao Hui!" At that moment…Yao Xiaoling stood there..

She slowly put down the hand behind her back, which was holding a kitchen knife stained with blood!
