Chapter 260 The Weird Man in the Village
Bai Xian said that he would stay to look after the house and let the young people go with him.
After hearing the specific location from Fan Yao, Shu Wanwan planned to open a spiritual door and go directly there.
However, it was impossible to open the spiritual gate directly into the village, so they had to open it in the nearby mountains.
After thinking about it, I still feel that it is not appropriate. Bai Xuan, Fan Yao and Dai Yan can still live in their grandmother's house.
Dai Yan is a mirror and Bai Xuan is a cat.
But I'm afraid there won't be enough room for the rest of the people.
"Don't worry, Wanwan, my grandma's house can accommodate me." Fan Yao said confidently, "Isn't the reason I make money so that grandma can live a good life?"
After hearing what Fan Yao said, Shu Wanwan didn't think much about it.
A spiritual door was opened and the message spread to the mountains outside the village.
Although it was daytime, it was freezing cold and not many people were climbing the mountain.
"Wow, this is the first time I've seen something so magical," Fan Yao excitedly touched the edge of the door, but the door swayed like a reflection in the water, "It's really amazing, Wanwan."
"You haven't seen it, right? Wanwan is so amazing!" Gu Yanchuan said to Fan Yao with pride, completely forgetting how excited he was when he first met her.
"Be careful when walking, the mountain road is difficult to walk on." Bai Xuan reminded Shu Wanwan slowly while lying in her arms.
"Bai Xuan, you really are that cat. I've always thought you looked like one!"
Fan Yao walked to Shu Wanwan and reached out to touch Bai Xuan, but then she remembered that Bai Xuan didn't want her to, so she withdrew her hand.
Although Shu Wanwan had saved Fan Yao from the nightmare before, Fan Yao did not expect that there were so many things he didn't know.
She immediately felt that moving in was a very correct choice.
With Shu Wanwan and Fan Yao leading the way, they quickly got down the mountain.
Although several people brought luggage, it was not much. Several boys only carried a backpack.
Fan Yao and Shu Wanwan just need to pack one each.
The weather is cold now, and I don’t change my thick clothes often. I won’t be outside for long, so it’s enough to just bring pajamas, underwear, and toiletries.
As for if it really gets wet or dirty, it is convenient to just buy a new one nearby.
Fan Yao led everyone into the village, which was different from the village where Fan Yao and Shu Wanwan had filmed the variety show before.
Every household in this village has built a three or four-story building, which looks like a villa area.
The decorations are all unique, but you can tell that money has been spent on them.
A few people can tell at a glance which house is Fan Yao's grandmother's.
No household in the village looked poor.
But the small building where Fan Yao’s grandmother lives looks very wealthy.
"Xiao Fan, your grandma's house is really big." Gu Yanchuan said to Fan Yao.
"Not bad, Director Gu." Fan Yao also gave Gu Yanchuan a look in reply.
Fan Yao quickly introduced everyone and grandma assigned rooms to everyone.
Grandma complained about Fan Yao while laughing from ear to ear.
"What's wrong with you, kid? How come you're here so soon? I haven't even bothered Aunt Zhang to buy groceries yet."
Aunt Zhang is actually a nanny hired by Fan Yao, and she does not usually live at Fan Yao's grandmother's house.
Everyone quickly put their things away and went to the yard together.
"Let's go buy some groceries, grandma." Gu Yanchuan said while holding the white cat and Fan Yao's grandmother.
"How can this be so embarrassing?" Grandma was about to refuse.
Fan Yao spoke up, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We're all friends."
Fan Yao waved to Gu Yanchuan, Jiang Jingchen, and Ye Linfeng and let them go.
The few of them exchanged glances with Shu Wanwan again and went to buy groceries.
Shu Wanwan was still very confident in them.
The Soul-Locking Mirror is on Ye Linfeng, and Dai Yan will protect them if anything happens.
With Bai Xuan following me, I won’t get lost and I won’t get lost.
Besides, the three of them have learned some skills now, and it would be a good opportunity to practice when they encounter some low-level monsters.
There were only three people left in the small building: grandma, Fan Yao, and Shu Wanwan.
Shu Wanwan said, "Grandma, I want to ask this."
Shu Wanwan took out the jade token from her hand and placed it in her palm.
When grandma saw the jade token, her expression remained unchanged, as if she knew that Shu Wanwan was here to ask about this matter.
"Are you here to ask Shu Bo?" Grandma said directly without any ambiguity.
When Shu Wanwan heard Shu Bo's name, her heart sank even more. That was right, that person should be the one she was looking for.
It was not the man in black robe, but Old Man Shu.
"Little girl, when I heard your name, I thought of the destined person that Shu Bo talked about." Grandma caressed Shu Wanwan's hand affectionately.
"Who is Shu Bo to you? Great-grandfather? Or..."
Since Fan Yao's grandmother was called Shu Bo, it was obvious that Old Man Shu was already very old when he met Fan Yao's grandmother.
It naturally replaced the older generation.
Shu Wanwan shook her head. She didn't say that Old Man Shu was her adoptive father, otherwise Fan Yao's grandmother would definitely have some thoughts.
Shu Wanwan said, "Looks like a relative of mine."
Then Shu Wanwan asked about Shu Bo's affairs.
In Fan Yao's grandmother's impression, Shu Bo was a blind old man with gray hair but long hair that stood up.
He wears linen clothes every day and likes to sit in a rocking chair under a tree to enjoy the cool air.
But no one ever saw him leave the house.
Everyone still found it strange that vegetables were planted in the yard in front of the house. Even if they didn't have to buy food and drink, they still had to buy oil and salt.
At the beginning, some kind-hearted people would occasionally leave some vegetables at his door.
But he never brought the vegetables into the house until they went bad.
So the villagers thought he was a weirdo and rarely interacted with him.
"Shu Jian's home is at the very back of the village, separated by a small river. Over time, no one has gone there anymore."
What Fan Yao's grandmother said was actually quite subtle. After everyone thought Shu Bo was a weirdo, not only did no one go there, but most of the time they walked around it.
"Grandma, can you take me to see it?" Shu Wanwan asked.
"The road to Suber's house is not easy to walk on. I am too old to go there."
"It's right at the innermost part of the village. Aunt Zhang knows where it is. Let her take you there later."
After hearing what her grandmother said, Shu Wanwan said goodbye to her and went to find Aunt Zhang with Fan Yao.
Aunt Zhang is the nanny hired by Fan Yao. Although she is called a nanny, she is actually a neighbor.
Before Fan Yao was born, Aunt Zhang was in elementary school. She went out to play and accidentally got lost. She was rescued by Fan Yao's grandfather.
The Zhang family was originally a neighbor of Fan Yao's grandmother's family, and later Aunt Zhang got married.
However, her husband's family died early, and her parents-in-law went to live with her sister-in-law. Her son was grown up and didn't need to worry too much, so he came back to take care of his parents.
Fan Yao's grandfather had passed away at that time, and Fan Yao's parents returned abroad after the funeral.
Fan Yao wanted her grandmother to move in with her, but the nature of Fan Yao's job required her to run around all day, which the old woman found boring, so she moved back home.
Fan Yao wanted to find someone in the village to take care of her grandmother.
