C47 (1/2)

Five o'clock.

It was also the time for me to plan on leaving. Before leaving, I checked to see if everything was in order. After making sure that everything was accurate, I prepared to leave.

”Don't be in such a hurry to leave. You should be able to use this bracelet at a critical moment.”

Just as I was about to leave, the Grand Matriarch suddenly called me over. She took off the jade bracelet she was carrying and handed it over to me.

It could be seen that this jade bracelet was not very valuable. At the very least, it was not a high quality water seed. However, when the seemingly unremarkable jade bracelet appeared in his hand, it seemed to contain a slight trace of spiritual energy.

I took the bracelet and directly put it on my wrist, not bothering to be polite with the grandma.

Since the Grand Matriarch had said that she could save my life in times of danger, it was enough to see the importance of this bracelet.

Although this bracelet looked a little out of place after I put it on, it was still a treasure after all. Moreover, it wasn't my own item, so I didn't dare to be careless. I still felt that wearing it on my wrist was the safest.

”Alright, since we're already prepared, let's go! ”Come back early after you're done!”

Seeing that it was getting late, I didn't want to delay any longer. I replied to the matriarch and left the room.

After leaving the house, I walked over to a few grandpas playing chess by the side of the road.

From the looks of it, these people must have been living here for a long time. They should have some understanding about that tragic night in the rain.

”Hello grandfathers, can I ask you something?”

After I walked up to them, I greeted them before speaking.

”Haha, what do young people want to know!?” Should I ask for directions? ”You can be considered to be asking the right person if you're asking for directions. We are born and raised here, and there really isn't any place in Jiangxia Town that we don't know of.”

”Right, there really is nothing that we don't know here.”

These seniors were all very passionate. The moment I finished speaking, they surrounded me. Before I could say what I wanted to ask about, they introduced themselves.

”Great sir, I'm not here to ask for directions. I'm here to inquire about something else.”

I hastily interrupted these seniors. They were all too enthusiastic. If this goes on, I'm afraid they will have to recount the entire history of Jiangxia Town to me.

Normally, I would love to hear the old man talk. After all, when people get old, there are less and less people who can talk with them.

But not today. I still have something to do and can't delay it.

If you miss this point, no one can guarantee that you will attract any monsters.

Although there was still some time until midnight, I still had to prepare some candles and things, so time was a bit tight.

”Oh!” It's not about asking for directions, young man.

When the old man heard that he wasn't here to ask for directions, he didn't tell me about the situation in Jiangxia Town and instead asked me this question.

”Oh!” I just want to ask you, where did the tragedy that happened on a rainy night happen a few years ago happen? ”

I made my intentions clear, and stopped beating around the bush with these old people.
