Quick Travel: Please hold on to the villain Black Moonlight script

"No...Did he tell you no?"

These words seemed to be a confirmation to Zhao Xuan, but also as if he was lost in his own memories. In short, it was obvious that something was wrong with his expression.

The old woman's tone changed slightly, as if she was impatient, or as if some danger was approaching and she was anxious.

Yu Zhengqiu turned his head to look at Zhao Xuan, and Zhao Xuan happened to look over at him. The two looked into each other's eyes, emotions silently surging in their eyes.

"Hmm." Zhao Xuan lowered his voice slightly, "Mother-in-law, do you know something? Can you tell us?"

Once these words were spoken, it was equivalent to completely lifting the veil covering his intentions. There was no longer any cover. Even the dumbest person could guess his intentions.

Upon hearing this, the old woman's eyes changed slightly, and she immediately looked Zhao Xuan up and down with scrutiny. Her sharp eyes seemed to immediately see through the intentions of Zhao Xuan and Yu Zhengqiu coming to find her?

"What do you want to know?" She looked back and forth between the two of them with eyes as sharp as knives.

Zhao Xuan could see the increasingly obvious wariness in the old woman's eyes, but he was not anxious because of her vigilance. He just smiled lightly and explained slowly.

"...Mother-in-law, you know more about the things in the village than we do. We have no ill intentions, we just don't want to die in obscurity like those colleagues."

Yu Zhengqiu silently glanced at Zhao Xuan who was explaining patiently, without denying what he said.

What Zhao Xuan said was not wrong, he just chose to avoid the main point.

"Why did you come here for no reason?" She looked impatient. If it were someone else, they would probably misunderstand her impatience and turn away.

"Of all the places in the world, I chose this place..."

The old woman turned around and was still muttering to herself. Her words suddenly stopped, making people feel a chill for no reason, as if a gust of eerie wind blew silently.

"We came here to shoot some material for a short video, but we didn't expect to encounter such a strange thing." Zhao Xuan said it quite tactfully and generally.

The old woman doesn’t know what short videos are. People in the village rarely use mobile phones, especially in today’s high-tech era.

No one in the village has ever used a 5G mobile phone that can make calls, video chat, watch TV, and keep up to date with world affairs at home.

Instead, it was a PHS cell phone from a long time ago, which Zhao Xuan had seen on the village chief and Mu Jiawei last night.

The conservative ones seem to be stuck in the past. Due to the barrier of the mountains, they seem to be blocked from making progress and accepting the information of the new era and new technology.

She didn't respond, but just continued walking into the house silently. Zhao Xuan and Yu Zhengqiu couldn't go in without the invitation and consent of the host.

The two of them stood at the gate and silently looked at the house inside the gate.

There was no light in the room, but there was a window. However, the window was very tall and small, almost close to the beam, and it was square. There were patterns on the small window, and the dark-colored patterns successfully blocked a lot of light.

There was a light bulb installed in the house, but it was not turned on. The ground was still the old-fashioned dirt that had not been trimmed. It was bumpy and it was a bit uneven to walk on.

It was already inconvenient for the old woman to walk, and the bumpy ground made her walk even more unevenly, as if she was about to fall at any time.

From Zhao Xuan's perspective, this room looks like a dark cave, both in terms of light and visual sense. Once you enter, you will be swallowed up mercilessly and there is no way out.

"Take these things back and stick them on the door of your room. Also, there will be a sacrificial ceremony in the village in three days. No matter who invites you to watch the fun, don't go."

The old woman took out a dozen or twenty cut peach wood branches from the utility room and handed them to Zhao Xuan, explaining in a strange and cold tone.

After he finished speaking, he paused, looked back and forth at Zhao Xuan for a moment, and then continued, "If there are girls among you who come this time, tell them not to be alone, and don't be curious about anything in this village."

Zhao Xuan's eyes flickered slightly. The old woman seemed not to have revealed anything, but in fact she had indirectly reminded them of some key points and inside stories.

Before he could say thank you, the old woman gave Yu Zhengqiu four cucumbers she had picked earlier and drove him away expressionlessly.

"You guys go back, I'm tired and need to rest. I don't have time to greet you."

Yu Zhengqiu's sensitivity was not inferior to Zhao Xuan's. He could naturally hear the subtle softness beneath the old man's seemingly harsh and cold attitude.

It seemed that every word she said was a ruthless expulsion, but in fact every word was secretly reminding them of the insecurity and danger of the village, and telling them the taboos in the village.

"Okay, thank you mother-in-law, we'll make a note of it." Zhao Xuan quickly pressed the back of Yu Zhengqiu's hand, as if he was worried that he would ask the reason and deliberately stopped him from asking.

Yu Zhengqiu was not used to other people's kindness and physical contact. When Zhao Xuan's slightly warm fingertips touched the back of his hand, he subconsciously shrank back and looked up at Zhao Xuan with vigilant eyes.

Zhao Xuan sensed Yu Zhengqiu's coldness and defensiveness, but he kept a smile on his face, as if he had never felt it. He chuckled and said, "Let's go. Let's go back first and don't disturb Grandma's rest."

Yu Zhengqiu understood what Zhao Xuan meant, and even though he was not used to it, he did not lose his temper in front of the old woman. Instead, he followed Zhao Xuan's words and said goodbye to the old woman...

The old woman had a cold look on her face, and seemed to have no intention of seeing them off. It was not until Zhao Xuan and Yu Zhengqiu had been gone for a while that she slowly dragged her lame leg to the gate.

Holding onto the door frame, I watched them leave side by side, my thoughts gradually becoming blurred and hazy, as if I was being pulled into some distant past...

She looked dazed, her dry and withered hands tightly grasping the door panel, without saying a word, two lines of tears silently slid down her face.

On the way back to the village chief's house, Zhao Xuan took off his thin white coat and wrapped the peach wood branches with it.

Yu Zhengqiu watched Zhao Xuan's series of actions but did not ask him the reason.

You can tell without asking that this village is so weird, and they are walking into a tiger's den by living in the village chief's house. The village chief's family clearly knows something, but they are unwilling to reveal a single thing.

A peach wood branch was placed at the door to protect their lives, but they were not told a word of this, which means...the village chief's family cannot be trusted!

No wonder Zhao Xuan would act like this.

"Peach wood branches can ward off evil spirits. My mother-in-law kept saying she didn't know, but she gave us a bunch of these..." After Zhao Xuan wrapped the branches, he curved the corners of his lips slightly and said meaningfully.

"Haven't you already known about the weirdness of this village?" Yu Zhengqiu lowered his head, looked at the cucumber in his hand, and answered casually as if he didn't care.

"I know it, I know it." Zhao Xuan paused, staring at Yu Zhengqiu sideways, "Did you pay attention to what mother-in-law said?"
