Chapter 743: Small Matters
After hearing Ye Lan's words, several people nodded, as if this was indeed the truth.
Asking someone who doesn't believe in something to do this kind of thing seems a bit unreasonable.
And... since there is no possibility of finding a way out, it doesn't matter whether you go or not.
Everyone fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
When the few of them fell into silence, Yan Fei took a step forward, a look of determination in her eyes, then she looked at the door in front of her and said, "I'll do it."
Yan Fei has always been brave and decisive. She is unwilling to give up the exploration just like that. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, she wants to give it a try.
Paimeng nodded after hearing Yan Fei's words, and then encouraged: "Come on, and be careful."
In this strange place, any accident could happen. Paimon was well aware of the danger, so he couldn't help but remind Yan Fei.
Moreover, if two monsters suddenly appeared in this ghost place, they would not be surprised at all.
After hearing what Paimeng said, Yan Fei nodded and said, "Well, don't worry. Although I don't know what will appear in there, I will definitely be careful. As for whether there will be a way out from this place, we will know after opening the door and taking a look."
As she spoke, Yan Fei slapped the door directly. The moment her palm touched the door, she could feel a slight electric current running through her body, but she gritted her teeth and did not retreat.
The next moment, there was a click and the door opened.
A stale and damp smell hit everyone's face, and everyone's attention was immediately attracted by the scene inside the door, which was a small house.
The hut was very simply furnished, with yellowed newspapers covering the walls and tattered tables and chairs as furniture.
There were two old men standing inside, looking simple and honest.
The old woman among them said, "You old man, out of the eight pounds of salt today, you gave away three pounds, sold two pounds, and traded the remaining three pounds for wine. How much did you make in total?"
The old woman's voice was filled with a hint of anger and helplessness. As she spoke, she poked the old man's chest with her finger, her eyes full of blame.
Hearing the old woman's words, the old man was also confused. He scratched his head, making his sparse hair disheveled. He said, "Ah? But you were the one who said that the things in the store can be sold casually. What's wrong with giving them away?"
The old man's eyes were full of innocence, he really didn't understand what he had done wrong.
When the old woman heard this, she suddenly felt a headache. She looked at the old man with a frustrated look on her face, put her hands on her hips, raised her voice and said, "You are so stupid! You asked the uncle next door to come to your house to get salt, but who knew that he broke his leg on the way! Didn't you hear his son ask for compensation? You old man, alas..." The old woman became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice was trembling.
The conversation between the two ended here. Yan Fei looked at this scene for a long time without saying a word, as if she was shocked by the scene before her.
This ordinary life scene, which couldn't be more ordinary, appears in this mysterious and strange space. It seems out of place, but it makes people inexplicably feel a real shock.
After being stunned for a while, Yan Fei slowly closed the door.
After closing the door, Yan Fei finally revealed a look of relief, muttering to herself, "I never thought...it would turn out to be a civil dispute."
It was obvious that what Yan Fei had just seen behind the door had really scared her.
After hearing Yan Fei's words, Paimeng was also very confused. The door had clearly been opened just now, but it closed quickly again. This was really strange.
Paimon's round eyes were full of confusion. She turned quickly in the air, causing a small airflow, and asked anxiously, "Who was that just now?" Her voice was crisp and loud, echoing in the slightly silent space.
After hearing Paimeng's words, Yan Fei calmed down for a while before slowly speaking, "It's not about anyone, it's just a microcosm of the many civil cases that have troubled me."
Yan Fei frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness on her face. Those tedious and complicated civil disputes often gave her a headache.
Every case was like a tangled mess that was difficult to sort out and consumed a lot of her energy.
The intricate relationships between the parties involved, all sorts of trivial demands and contradictions, were like an invisible net that trapped her tightly.
Ye Lan reacted after hearing what Yan Fei said. She raised her eyebrows and asked with interest, "Oh? So you're afraid of disputes over daily necessities?"
Ye Lan wondered in her heart why such a scene appeared behind the mysterious door, and why Villette appeared in the door. All of this seemed to be inextricably linked to Lin Feng.
She guessed that Lin Feng must be very afraid of something in his heart, but she didn't know why Villette appeared.
As for Yan Fei's fear of civil disputes, if this is true, then the function of this door may be to reveal people's deepest fears.
There was a sharp glint in her eyes as her mind sorted out various possibilities.
After hearing Ye Lan's words, Yan Fei shook her head, then patiently explained, "I should say that I'm a little afraid of those who get caught up in trivial matters. Especially those who just happened, who had good intentions but ended up causing chaos... Good intentions became the beginning of harm and accidents, alas. What a pity. I'm in this line of work because I want to help solve problems. The only thing I can't fully control is the complex human heart."
There was a hint of emotion in Yan Fei's tone. She wanted to use her knowledge and abilities to help others, but she was often troubled by the complexity of human nature.
Behind those seemingly simple disputes, there are often all kinds of unspeakable emotions and conflicts of interest, which make her feel powerless.
She thought of those people who argued fiercely over trivial matters. Their intentions were obviously good, but due to poor communication or misunderstandings, the conflicts eventually escalated, which made her feel helpless.
After listening to Yan Fei's words, Paimon also said something very profound, "I seem to understand Yan Fei's feelings, but this kind of thing is really sad sometimes. You are obviously doing good things, but in the end people blame you." Paimon remembered that he had a similar experience before. He was full of good intentions but was not understood and was even blamed. That feeling was really unpleasant.
After hearing what Paimeng said, Yan Fei also said, "... Let's not talk about this anymore. Does anyone else want to try this door?"
Yan Fei tried to change the subject. She really didn't want to continue dwelling on those annoying things.
