Chapter 220 Life is a Play (16)

Just now I thought someone would suddenly rush out when I was halfway through.

As a result, this embarrassing thing did not happen, and they didn’t even see a single person.

“Then shall we go back?” Zhong Lian asked.

“Not in a hurry.”

Wen Chan walked around in the cave again and again.

There was no place to hide.

Finally, let’s turn our attention to the furnace.

Zhong Lian, who had been in a bad mental state, seemed to see through what she was thinking and hugged her from behind.

“You can’t do that, Chanchan! Even if the fire isn’t burning down there, it’s still hot inside!”

Wen Chan calmed down, “You know a lot, right? Have you experienced it?”

Zhong Lian: “…I think, no?”

He doesn’t remember.

Ever since he became conscious, he has been traveling around the country to make a living.

Wen Chan jumped onto the tool bench and sat down, with her arms folded across her chest. “Then I won’t hide anymore. I’ll wait here.”

When Zhong Lian saw her sitting on it, she thought of the previous battle and blushed.

“Cicada, we…”

Wen Chan: “Shut up!”

Shameless bastard, he only feels energetic when he thinks about this kind of thing.

Zhong Lian hummed and jumped up, sitting next to Wen Chan.

He leaned his shoulder against her and kept pushing towards her, wanting to be closer to her, closer.

In the end, he simply hugged her waist and hung his entire upper body on Wen Chan.

Wen Chan hugged him without saying anything, and the two of them sat quietly.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but finally Lian fell asleep leaning against her.

When Wen Chan was drowsy, there was finally some movement outside the cave.

They both opened their eyes at the same time and looked towards the revolving wall.

The mayor’s nagging voice could be heard outside the wall. “Couples are good, couples are wonderful. When you come here, you have to have twins. This is the blessing of the God of Children. Hehehe, hahahahahaha… We haven’t had a newborn baby in many years. We’re going to have one soon, we’re going to have one soon…”

He pushed open the wall and walked through the door, and the sound stopped abruptly.

Wen Chan and Zhong Lian were sitting on the tool bench, waiting for him for a long time.

The mayor was still holding the little girl who had tried to escape. As expected, she had been knocked unconscious and thrown onto the mountain.

The so-called child god who picked up children turned out to be the mayor himself.

When the mayor saw Wen Chan and Zhong Lian, he was stunned for a moment, but soon came to his senses.
“You haven’t left yet?”

He swaggered in carrying the little girl, threw her aside, and went back to fiddling with the big melting pot in the middle.

“I even gave you some time to pack up and leave. I was just being too sentimental.”

I didn’t expect that after doing that, they wouldn’t leave. They are so shameless.

“So Mayor, you would rather use babies to make incense?”

Wen Chan finally understood why he thought that being a couple was a good idea.

I was repeating this sentence when I first knew that she and Zhonglian were a couple.

It turned out that it was for people to give him fresh raw materials.

“That’s right.” The mayor did not hide it.

They were already waiting for him in his lair, so there was no point in him pretending any longer.

“Newborn babies have never experienced the filth of the world, so the oil and ashes boiled from them are fragrant. Using them to make incense is the best way to nourish people.”

“Ugh……”

He sighed deeply and continued, “In recent years, those who can have children have all left, and the remaining few who are unwilling to give up their children no matter how much they are persuaded, are raising them in this godforsaken town.”

“They never understand that raising such a child will not lead to much in the future.”

“I can only settle for the next best thing, and hope that people will spread this legend of our town to attract more people who love money, so that I will have more raw materials for making incense.”

“Isn’t this waiting for you to come over? Unfortunately, it seems you can’t leave because you know my secret.”

He pulled out a few sandalwood logs from behind the furnace and prepared to continue making a fire.

“But don’t worry, I won’t let you die for now. I’ll let you give birth to the baby first.”

“Ah…if you’re willing to be my petri dish for raw materials, I might consider keeping you alive.”

At this point, he paused, and then said to himself: “One of you is not enough. The pair that just went back can also be caught back.”

That couple should be referring to Pang Li and Yang Qiao who have already returned.

“How can you be sure that I will get pregnant?” Wen Chan smiled.

The mayor looked back at her, and finally turned his gaze to Zhong Lian.

“Why? Can’t he?”

All the medicines he uses are strong for men. Generally speaking, if a man is strong enough, there will be no problem.

Zhong Lian is still the mainstay of the troupe, and he performs many difficult stunts.

He should be in pretty good physical condition.

“Chan Chan, is he mocking me?” Zhong Lian pointed at the mayor.

Wen Chan rested his hands on the workbench and crossed his legs. “Yes. How about it, do you want to beat him up?”

Zhong Lian nodded, “I want to.”

“Ha ha……”

The mayor couldn’t help laughing when he heard the conversation between the two.

“You’ve been here for almost a whole night. You’ve been smelling the incense for so long, and you still have the energy to brag? Don’t you feel dizzy?”

Wen Chan asked Zhong Lian again: “Are you dizzy?”

Zhong Lian said honestly: “No.”

He asked Wen Chan’s opinion before entering the cave and was already holding his breath.

He felt unwell after entering the cave. He already had a desire for cicadas, and as his desire grew, he knew that the fragrance in the cave was not right.

Then he quickly took a few more puffs and successfully got the cicada to help him.

Later, he listened to Wen Chan’s words and stopped breathing. He had just taken a nap and his mind was clear now.

Wen Chan jumped down from the tool table and walked towards the mayor. “Mayor, sometimes, if you stay in the same place for a long time and don’t go out to see the world, your knowledge will be very scarce. There is a saying called “sitting in a well and looking at the sky”, which suits you very well.”

“What do you mean?” The mayor threw the last piece of sandalwood into the fire, patted the ashes on his hands, and stood up.

Wen Chan stood in front of him and smiled at him, “Teacher Wen’s class is starting!”

“Different species generally cannot mate, and even if they mate successfully they cannot produce fertile offspring. This phenomenon is called reproductive isolation.”

“So your plan failed from the very beginning.”

Mayor: “?”

“Who are different species?” No, why is he a little confused?

Aren’t they human beings?

“Cicada said I’m not a human.”

I don’t know when Zhong Lian walked behind Wen Chan, hugged her from behind, and rested her chin on Wen Chan’s shoulder.

She opened her beautiful peach blossom eyes and stared at the mayor with simplicity and innocence.

Mayor: “???”

“Are you happy when I say you are not a human? Are you stupid?”

“Hehe, I’m not that anyway.” Zhong Lian grinned.

He had just confessed his true identity to Chan Chan not long ago. Chan Chan was not afraid of him at all, so he did not hide his identity at all.

The expression on the mayor’s face gradually subsided. Wen Chan gestured to Zhong Lian behind him, “Zhong Lian, go ahead! Bite him!”

“Yes!”

Zhong Lian responded subconsciously, let go of her and took a step forward.

The next second, he turned around uncertainly and asked, “Chan Chan, can I really bite him?”

“Yes! Get rid of this evil for the people!” Wen Chan clenched her fists and made an encouraging gesture towards him.

“Oh!”

Finally Lian got excited.

He shook his neck, suddenly opened his mouth, two fangs popped out, and his pupils turned red instantly.

It was like a vampire walking out of the darkness, already setting its sights on the mayor as its prey.

Looking at this situation, the mayor was indeed a little scared at first.

But when he saw Zhong Lian’s appearance, he suddenly laughed out loud.

“I thought it was some kind of monster, but it turned out to be a zombie.”

“Unfortunately, my ancestors just happened to learn a few tricks to deal with wandering zombies.”

The mayor pulled out a peach wood sword from somewhere and pointed it at Zhong Lian.

It seems that he is quite capable.

Zhong Lian tilted her head, seeming a little confused.

After staring at the mayor for a while, he turned around and complained to Wen Chan: “Chan Chan, is he sick? He fights with a sword made of wood.”

Wen Chan watched his mouth opening and closing, his two fangs rubbing against his lips, and she was afraid that he would bite her.

She reminded him, “Be careful with your teeth.”

“Oh…hiss! It hurts!”

As soon as Wen Chan finished speaking, Zhong Lian’s teeth scraped her lips, and blood oozed out instantly.

Wen Chan: “…” The thing I was most worried about happened.

In order to prevent Wen Chan from seeing her embarrassed appearance, Zhong Lian immediately covered her mouth and turned to glare at the mayor.

The mayor looked puzzled.

Why are you staring at him?
What does it have to do with him?

but……

“The corpse should stay in the ground. It’s wrong for you to come out and scare people.”

As he spoke, he raised his peach wood sword and slashed towards Zhong Lian.

Zhong Lian raised her hand and grabbed his peach wood sword, snatched it away, and broke it into two pieces.

“You look down on me a little too much!”

Mayor: “???”

what happened?

Shouldn’t these ghost things be very afraid of the peach wood sword?
Zhong Lian threw the broken peach wood sword at the mayor’s feet, pretending to be fierce, and pounced on him with bared fangs and claws.

The two men started fighting with bare hands.

Wen Chan thought she would see some exciting battle scenes, but now what is going on with this fight between elementary school students?

You punch me and I punch you, one presses the other to the ground, then the other presses the other to the ground.

She hadn’t seen such a simple way of fighting for a long time.

What are you doing!
She walked over, picked up the little girl that the mayor had left aside, and gently put her in the cave outside the wall, letting her take shelter outside for the time being.

Go back and close the revolving wall.

It looked like Zhonglian and the mayor had already started pulling each other’s hair.

Zhong Lian had a relatively long braid, and he could grab it accurately. He imitated the mayor and grabbed the mayor’s hair.

As a result, the mayor had short hair and couldn’t be pulled up no matter how hard he tried.

“Chan Chan! What if I can’t fight!”

Zhong Lian was dragged so hard that she cried out.

Wen Chan shouted: “Bite him!”

Zhong Lian: “…I can’t eat it. It smells stinky.”

His teeth have been retracted.

Wen Chan: “…”

“You, a corpse, have the nerve to complain about other people’s stink? You die!” The mayor angrily took out a piece of talisman from his body and stuck it on Zhong Lian’s forehead.

Finally, Lian stopped.

He seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.

The mayor slid out from under him, panting, “I still have the copper coin sword. I don’t believe you won’t die today!”

He seemed to have a treasure bag on his body, and inexplicably took out a copper coin sword and slashed at Zhong Lian who was still in the same posture as before.

At this moment, Zhong Lian suddenly raised her hand, grabbed his sword again, and took it from him.

After getting the copper coin sword, he quickly got up from the ground and ran towards Wen Chan happily, “Chan Chan, we are rich!”

Wen Chan, who was about to take action, said: “…”

The mayor who lost another treasure: “…”

Zhong Lian handed the copper coin sword to Wen Chan like she was presenting a treasure. Wen Chan reached out to take it and tossed it in her hand.

Quite substantial.

She calmly said to Zhong Lian, “If you don’t know how to fight, step aside.”

Zhong Lian stepped back obediently, and did not forget to cheer her up, “Come on, Chan Chan, beat him to death!”

Wen Chan looked up at the mayor, who had no weapon in his hands and was so embarrassed that he didn’t know where to put his hands. He chuckled, “Mayor, you are right about one thing. The body should stay in the ground. What about people like you who make psychedelic incense and make the dead restless?”

“There is one more thing I want to clarify. He is not a corpse, so these things of yours…”

Wen Chan casually made a sword flower.

“It’s no use to him.”

“But…hitting someone should hurt.”

She gripped her sword tightly and rushed towards the mayor.

The sword in his hand was about to hit the mayor’s head.

The mayor suddenly fell to his knees, clasped his hands together, and began to cry loudly, “Please, spare me, for I have done so much for this town…”

Wen Chan: “…”

“What have you done?” Hasn’t this town developed at all over the years?
The mayor lay on the ground, crying, “Aren’t I asking you to help promote Cangyang Town? Once Cangyang Town becomes famous, there will be more and more travelers like you, which will improve the economic level of Cangyang Town, and everyone will be rich!”

“Chanchan, he lied to you!”

Zhong Lian shouted from behind: “He just wants you to make a name for yourself and let more people know the legend of Wawa Mountain in Cangyang Town. Then more greedy outsiders will come and throw their children away.”

Wen Chan looked back at him. Zhong Lian had sat back on the tool table without her knowing. She rested her hands on the edge of the table, swung her legs leisurely, and looked back at her with a smile.

Wen Chan retracted her gaze and said to the mayor: “Did you hear that? Anyone with a discerning eye knows your intentions. Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at for saying such things?”

The mayor had stopped crying. He sat on the ground, no longer afraid that Wen Chan would chop him with a sword.

This kind of sword will hurt when it hits someone, but no blood will be drawn.

“Young man, I have a question.”

Now he began to speak in the tone of an elder again.

Wen Chan didn’t know how to evaluate this person for a moment. How could he change so much in just a few minutes?

He didn’t care whether Wen Chan answered or not, and said to himself: “I can see that you two have a very good relationship. If he leaves you one day, what will you do?”

Wen Chan raised her hand and pinched her brows, and said helplessly: “Has it started?”

The villain died because he talked too much.

So familiar, so familiar!
