Chapter 45 The Fourth Male Lead

Having roughly grasped the story of the dungeon, Yun Jiao looked up and saw that the car was following an SUV. A little further ahead, he could vaguely see people walking on the road.

That person should be a villager from the fishing village, but I don’t know if he deliberately brought them into the village.

Smelling the fishy odor in the air, Yun Jiao thought it was too late to retreat now.

She shrank deeper into her loose clothes, and her face seemed to turn paler. Wang Manying thought that Yun Jiao felt cold, so she quickly raised the car window again.

"We'll be able to rest soon, just hold on."

Hearing Wang Manying's gentle and coaxing voice, the boy driving in front snorted coldly, as if saying that Yun Jiao was troublesome.

Yun Jiao looked at the boy in the driver's seat. From her angle, she could only see his well-groomed golden curly hair. She thought about it and realized that this man was one of the original owner's boyfriends.

However, the original owner also knew that she couldn't be too obvious about her beauty, so publicly, she only had one boyfriend, a boy from the sports department.

The boyfriend was forced by the original owner to travel here, and he had a lot of trouble along the way, which seriously delayed the trip.

A few hours ago, the original owner was in high spirits and asked her boyfriend to find spring water to catch rabbits. Her boyfriend finally couldn't bear it anymore and dragged her into this car.

Speaking of which, the original owner was attracted by her boyfriend's good figure at first, but later she disliked her boyfriend for being straight and turned to flirting with other boys. The curly-haired boy was one of them. The original owner wanted to be carried away while playing games, so she pestered him and didn't expect that the other party actually agreed to be her boyfriend.

After this cold snort, Wang Manying was embarrassed and stopped talking. Yun Jiao went to see the other two people in the car, who were sleeping. She took out her cell phone and saw that there was indeed no signal. They had tried before, but couldn't even call the police.

After a few minutes, some houses could be seen outside the car, and smoke was rising from the roofs. It was obvious that this was a village with people living in it.

Yun Jiao felt that Wang Manying was in a more relaxed mood. After their car followed the car in front and stopped, Wang Manying woke up her boyfriend and they got out of the car together.

Yun Jiao got off the bus holding the backpack in her arms. The weather seemed to have become colder. It was a scorching hot month, but the wind felt noticeably cool.

The original owner loved beauty and was wearing a knee-length skirt. Later, when it got cold, she put on a coat.

Now that he had gotten out of the car, his upper body was fine, but his legs were so cold that Yun Jiao shivered.

"So you still feel cold." A very irritating voice came.

It was the curly-haired boy who had just got off the car. He was born unruly and had a lip piercing on his lips. Looking at his appearance and face, it was none other than Jiang Xinglan.

Yun Jiao looked at the lip piercing on his lips and wanted to say something, but a tall boy with short hair, wearing a windbreaker, with wild eyes, honey-colored skin, and full of masculine energy, walked over.

[Ding! A key character in the plot appears: Chu Qing]

The system responded with a broadcast.

Yun Jiao calmed down. Chu Qing? The fourth male protagonist? He was also pulled into the dungeon.

Chu Qing had very long legs, and he stood in front of her in just a few steps. Seeing that Yun Jiao was still in a daze, with her snow-white chin half tucked into her collar, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and a look of confusion, Chu Qing frowned, stretched out his hand towards her, and uttered a word from his thin lips.

"Bag."

Chu Qing took the backpack and walked forward. Yun Jiao didn't want to stay here and continue to be blown by the cold wind, so she followed him.

Jiang Xinglan behind had no emotion on his face. He had a bag on one shoulder and a cigarette in his hand, but he didn't smoke. He walked over at a leisurely pace.

They parked their car in a more spacious area in the village. After everyone came over, they walked inside together to see if there was a place for them to rest.

Yun Jiao also discovered that Shen Jinyan was in the team. What’s more coincidental is that the three male protagonists happened to be the original owner’s boyfriends.

You have a really good eye and you find it so accurately.

"Why are there so many white lanterns hanging outside the houses in this village? It's so creepy." Wang Manying's boyfriend, who was wearing a floral shirt, said as he touched his arm with goose bumps. The further into the village you go, the more white lanterns there are. Almost every house has one hanging outside. The pale color, coupled with the oppressive night sky, plus the village is too quiet, with few people walking around, gives you a sense of weirdness.

"This is a fishing village. Maybe because of the recent high tide, they went fishing and something happened accidentally?" Another girl tried to explain, but her voice was still trembling, and it was obvious that she was scared.

Perhaps because of the strange atmosphere in the village, no one spoke. As it was getting dark, everyone looked around to see if there was a bigger house.

In a place like this, don't live separately unless it's absolutely necessary.

While they were looking for it, an old lady who was hanging a white lantern at the door of a two-story building in front of them suddenly turned around, stared at them with her cloudy eyes and asked.

"Who are you? What are you doing in our village?"

The old lady's face was covered with wrinkles. I don't know if it was because of the white lantern, but her face looked fierce, like some scenes from a horror movie.

When she suddenly saw her, Wang Manying was so scared that she tightly clasped hands with the girl next to her.

Shen Jinyan, dressed in noble attire, walked forward and glanced at the house behind her, which was the largest in the village. He hung the white lantern for the old lady and asked politely.

"We are here for tourism. Do you have any vacant rooms?"

When the old lady heard this, she looked at them and grinned. Her voice was a little hoarse, as if her throat had been rubbed by a steel wool. Hearing it made Wang Manying tremble again.

"Are you here for tourism? The scenery here is really beautiful, and you can even go to the sea to catch seafood."

"Come in, everyone. My family runs an inn, but no one has come here to play in the past few years, and the inn's sign has become damaged."

Several people looked in the direction the old lady pointed, and saw that there was indeed a sign in the middle of the eaves surrounded by white cloth. It must have been a long time, and the paint on it had fallen off a lot, but if you look carefully, you can make out the engraved words.

Knowing that this was indeed an inn, they thought the house must be big enough to accommodate the number of people they had, so they followed the old lady into the house. They saw that the lobby was very much like the design of an ancient inn, and they went to take a look at the rooms upstairs. After some discussion, they decided to stay here.

After Shen Jinyan asked about the accommodation fee, he paid the old lady in cash.

Perhaps she was happy about the money coming in, the lady's wrinkled face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"There's some food in the kitchen. Go get it if you want. Also, I'm an old man with a light sleep, so don't walk around at night. If you wake me up, get out."

After saying this, the old lady, perhaps because she trusted them too much or was too tired, went back to her room with a hunched back, leaving the group of people looking at each other in bewilderment.

"If this kind of service was offered in a tourist area, people would be criticized to death." The boy in the flowered shirt muttered in dissatisfaction.

Wang Manying pulled him and then said, "Shall we go to the kitchen to see if there is anything to eat?"

They came out to play, not to explore, so they didn't bring much food. Today they got lost, and they had already eaten most of the snacks they bought to pass the time.

"Go ahead." Shen Jinyan retracted his gaze and said.

There were few things in the kitchen, only a few steamed buns and some pickled vegetables, which made everyone look unhappy.

But there is no other way. Having something to eat is better than going hungry.

Finally, after checking that the steamed buns were fine, everyone was given a steamed bun.

Chu Qing handed another steamed bun to Yun Jiao. Yun Jiao didn’t like this dry and tasteless steamed bun and shook her head.

"I still have some instant noodles in my bag. I'll just eat that. You can have the steamed buns."

As if he understood his girlfriend's pampered nature, Chu Qing listened without moving his brows. He withdrew his hand without saying anything else. After boiling water on the stove which was not extinguished, he started to eat the steamed buns.
