Chapter 389

In the past, the people in the team were polite to He Yuxin, partly because of her status as the bridesmaid, and partly because she could control the bride.

Now they were polite to her sincerely, and even bent their waists three inches more when talking to her.

It was almost noon when they found the next place to stay. The things they encountered on the road delayed them a little. When they saw the village, the people in the team felt like they had survived a disaster.

But now there was no one in charge of the team. The people in the team looked at each other for a while and finally asked He Yuxin what to do next.

He Yuxin would definitely not talk about this matter. She directly pointed at two people and asked them to talk.

Before asking them to talk, He Yuxin thought about it and stuffed a firework tube into each of them.

This thing is also a prop, a kind of signal flare. As long as the line on it is broken, the firework tube can shoot fireworks.

He Yuxin told them that if there was anything unusual, they should pull this, and she would save them when she saw it.

The two of them felt sympathetic when He Yuxin said that, and finally went in together.

Fortunately, the village didn't look like there was anything wrong. The two men went in worriedly and came out with smiles on their faces.

The two men told He Yuxin that there was no problem here. No one was doing funerals inside. The village chief told them that they could rest inside.

In this case, they entered the village.

But as soon as they entered the village, He Yuxin noticed something strange.

Are there too many women in this village?

It's not that He Yuxin discriminates, but in this backward feudal society, the number of men is higher than that of women.

It's not that there is anything wrong with the birth rate, but that some families will abandon their daughters or kill them in cruel ways after giving birth to daughters, and the living conditions of women are more harsh, with low survival rates and easy death, which leads to a small female population.

But this village, at a glance, is full of women.

And these women are not ugly.

He Yuxin walked and looked all the way, and looked back at the people in the convoy. Many men were distracted. He Yuxin raised her eyebrows and looked at those women who seemed to have no problems. There was a bit of intriguing taste in her eyes.

He Yuxin didn't immediately label this village as a place of evil. After settling down, she wanted to meet the village chief in person.

But as luck would have it, when she asked the women in the village where the village chief was, they all told her with some embarrassment that the village chief had left the village for something.

When she asked the village chief what was going on, they didn't tell her. They just smiled at He Yuxin and told her that it was a small matter.

After a few times, He Yuxin stopped looking for the village chief and turned to the elders of their village.

The elders are mostly some respected old people in the village. If the village chief retires early, he will also become an elder.

But unfortunately, He Yuxin didn't see the elders.

This time she used a lot of excuses. Anyway, she didn't find anyone she wanted to find.

He Yuxin didn't walk far away. Even if there were vines on her wrist, she avoided being too far away from Jin Xiaoshu.

A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. He Yuxin still cherishes her life.

Therefore, she did not verify what the women said, and gave up decisively after they clearly refused.

But the people in the team began to waver.

These wavering people were all men. Just in the time of eating and cooking, more than half of the men in the team ran away, and even three of the sedan bearers were missing.

You don’t need to ask where these people went. He Yuxin twitched her mouth, knowing that she had not considered it carefully.

There was such a mistake. First, it was daytime now, second, she didn’t expect these men to be so anxious, and third, they had stayed up all night and encountered so many thrilling things yesterday, and they actually had that kind of leisure!

She underestimated the bottom line of the men in the team.

At this time, He Yuxin still wanted to find those people back. This village was not normal. She didn’t want the men in the team to die in vain. At least the three sedan bearers had to be found back properly.

But when she said that she wanted the people in the team to go out and find the people, the men in the team all shook their heads, and the women looked even worse, and some even showed disgust.

He Yuxin didn't understand at first, and just thought that they were ashamed of the men's behavior.

It wasn't until an old woman's face turned black and embarrassed and she muttered a few words that He Yuxin understood what these women hated.

They didn't hate the missing men, but the women in this village.

He Yuxin frowned and spent a small piece of gold to learn about what they said about this village.

They had never been to this village, but they had heard of this kind of village.

It turned out that there were not a few villages like this one in the world with only women left. It was not because of man-made disasters such as war, but there was a kind of ghost in this world. They were evil ghosts transformed after the death of young girls. They specialized in eating men. Wherever there were young ghosts, all men would be eaten.

So there were quite a few places like this kind of village. Fortunately, after the young ghosts ate all the men in a place, they would disappear and would not wander to other places. It was still a relatively safe one among the powerful ghosts.

And if this kind of village with only women left wanted to continue to survive, it needed to find other men to reproduce.

In places like this, local officials tend to turn a blind eye and basically don't interfere. When traveling merchants and the like meet, both sides will have a tacit understanding.

The men stayed overnight in the village, and the next day they both walked across the bridge to return home. Even if they gave birth to a child, they would not go to the man.

This kind of thing sounds ridiculous, but it is already a kind of normal state in this world.

Therefore, this village is weird in He Yuxin's eyes, but it is normal in the eyes of others.

After hearing this, He Yuxin just thought for a moment and then asked someone to find them back.

Although the person who was ordered to go out to find someone said nothing on the surface, he must have felt that He Yuxin was looking for trouble.

After those people were found, they acted even more unhappy, as if someone had disturbed a good thing.

He Yuxin looked at it and was not used to their temper. She stood in front of the bride's door and knocked hard on the wooden door.

Just this sound scared everyone in the yard.

Because He Yuxin could control the bride, their spirits were somewhat relaxed, but this did not mean that they could still feel indifferent after He Yuxin did such a thing.

They stared at He Yuxin with big eyes and expressions of disbelief and fright, but He Yuxin said with a smile.

"We are a bride-grooming team, not a bride-to-be team. You'd better stop here, otherwise I don't mind letting the bride come out and talk to you."
