Chapter 175 His goal is to prolong the life of Changsheng Village?
The footsteps stopped right next to the bed, but Lin Feng waited for several seconds without finding out what Liu Laosan was up to.
She felt suspicious and squinted slightly to observe him. Suddenly, her eyes met those of Liu Laosan, who was looking down at her.
? !
In that instant, Lin Feng's heart leaped into her throat.
The pounding of her heart resounded in her ears, completely eroding her remaining sleepiness.
What is Liu Laosan doing all of a sudden?
Fortunately, Liu Laosan couldn't see her clearly.
Because earthworms don't have eyes, Liu Laosan, who was being eroded, also had very poor vision. He could only look at Lin Feng, who seemed to be asleep, and slowly a smile appeared on his face.
"Be good..."
Liu Laosan spoke in a low voice. He reached out and touched Lin Feng's face. His rough, sticky palm slid inch by inch across Lin Feng's cheek, almost making Lin Feng's breathing become disordered.
"As long as you behave and listen, nothing will happen..."
What do you mean?
Lin Feng tried her best to remain still, and listened to Liu Laosan's words with some doubt.
What does it mean to be good?
Liu Laosan suddenly bent down and pulled at Lin Feng's hand, startling Lin Feng.
As Liu Laosan carried Lin Feng on his back and walked towards the door, Lin Feng's rapid breathing gradually calmed down.
Where to go?
Are you going to the ancestral hall?
Lin Feng, who was lying quietly behind Liu Laosan, was in a state of turmoil. She squinted and looked around. She thought that Liu Laosan would take her to the newly built ancestral hall on the mountain, but she did not expect that Liu Laosan would turn around and walk into the courtyard behind the house.
Lin Feng was slightly taken aback, somewhat confused about what Liu Laosan was doing.
Just as she was lost in thought, Liu Laosan had already found a place. He first put Lin Feng aside, then bent down and began to sweep the ground in front of him.
The ground was soft and wet from being soaked in mud and water. Liu Laosan casually reached out and swept the mud and water aside, soon revealing an iron pull ring.
With a rustling sound, it was pulled open.
Lin Feng squinted and saw Liu Laosan pull open the entire entrance to a cellar, and then peek inside several times.
After confirming that the interior was still intact, Liu Laosan nodded in satisfaction and then pulled Lin Feng aside.
"Be good, and you won't have to be their 'stand-in'."
Liu Laosan smiled and opened his eyes wide. For a moment, his cloudy eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets, like a gradually decaying corpse.
When Liu Laosan tried to shove her into the cellar, Lin Feng finally realized what was happening.
Liu Laosan's purpose was completely different from that of the other elderly people.
If the other elderly people were trying to escape Changsheng Village... then Liu Laosan, as the village chief of Changsheng Village... had no intention of leaving Changsheng Village at all!
In a flash, Lin Feng realized Liu Laosan's identity and personality in the illusion.
Yes!
To become the village chief, Liu Laosan went so far as to trick his own sister into marrying him and force his son and daughter into marriage... Doesn't this prove that Liu Laosan is extremely selfish?!
So what will he do to ensure the continuation of Changsheng Village and to ensure his position as village chief continues?
Lin Feng was unaware of Gong Nian's situation.
She only vaguely sensed another possibility that she had been chosen when Liu Laosan pushed her into the cellar.
Liu Laosan doesn't need a "stand-in" to represent him in Changsheng Village, so it's quite obvious what someone as extremely selfish and even power-hungry as him (who is now a twisted monster) wants.
Liu Laosan hopes that Changsheng Village can continue to exist for a long, very long time.
And the possibility of the Longevity Village continuing indefinitely...

Yu Shijiu was awakened by a gust of cold wind and sneezed unconsciously.
Yang Wan, who was carrying him, paused. She turned her head to look at Yu Shijiu, who was resting on her shoulder and touching his nose. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the other person's eyes were not open at all.
It’s good that you didn’t wake up.
If he wakes up, things could get really troublesome.
Yang Wan could choose to forget what she had done, but... given Yu Shijiu's terrifying capacity for acceptance and action... Yang Wan was still somewhat aware of her own limitations.
Once she was sure Yu Shijiu was still asleep, Yang Wan quickened her pace.
He must be taken to the ancestral hall before he is fully conscious.
The hope of soon gaining freedom made Yang Wan walk faster and faster, and for a moment she even stirred up the wind.
Yu Shijiu, who was being carried on her back: "..."
Hmm, it's a bit cold.
Yu Shijiu blinked slowly, and the misty rain dripped down his eyelashes, sticking to his cheeks with a cool sensation.
He looked down at the hazy woods and bushes shrouded in rain and mist, and soon noticed the wriggling mud tracks behind him and Yang Wan.
It appears to be a swarm of earthworms wriggling and following beneath the mud.
Yu Shijiu thought of the earthworm with Yang Wan's face in the yard and slowly yawned.
It's them...that's certainly possible—
Through teary eyes, Yu Shijiu suddenly saw a figure standing next to a big tree not far away, half-hidden by the rain and mist.
The figure appeared hunched and stout, but when Yu Shijiu looked closely, he realized that it wasn't the figure that was stout, but rather the backpack the figure was carrying that made him appear stout.
And this figure was Uncle Gong.
Yu Shijiu looked at Uncle Gong by the big tree and raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Uncle Gong is still here... Does that mean that Uncle Gong's daughter, Gong Nian, is also in this area?
Realizing that the giant earthworm was likely hovering nearby, Yu Shijiu's heart, which had been calmed by the cold, began to beat with excitement again.
Uncle Gong, standing by the big tree, seemed oblivious to him. He stared with his cloudy, empty eyes at Yu Shijiu, who was waving slightly at him from a distance.
Uncle Gong leaned against a big tree, his whole body soaked by the rain, a cold aura enveloping him, even his breath was tinged with cold air.
He looked at Yu Shijiu and felt that the other's face was somewhat familiar.
Who is it? Who is it? Why does it look so familiar?
"Meow?"
The sudden meowing of a cat behind him made Uncle Gong instinctively look down.
The large orange cat, with its slick, shiny head and head raised as it looked up at him, meowed again and approached him with a mixture of suspicion and wariness.
Why are you meowing here?
Is not It Cold?
The orange cat's eerie green pupils momentarily stunned Uncle Gong. He stared blankly at the large orange cat approaching him and uttered a questioning sound.
"You—uh!"
With quick eyes and hands, Fatty swiftly grabbed the purplish-red earthworm that had burrowed halfway into the back of Uncle Gong's head and threw it on the ground.
As Uncle Gong cried out in pain, Fatty coldly stomped on the earthworm on the ground, crushing it into a pulp.
