Chapter 83 Lights-Out Factory
Chapter 83 Lights-Out Factory
The lights in Niu Dadan's house never went out.
Lin Fan, draped in a cloak of invisibility, stood blocking the entrance, completely blending into the darkness.
The fabric looks alright, especially at night when you can't tell the difference at all.
However, it's just a trick of refracting light, and it's easy to expose him when there's plenty of light, especially if Lin Fan moves around.
Lin Fan could clearly see the situation outside from inside.
Is this guy so bold that he doesn't sleep all night? Am I just going to spend the whole night guarding him for nothing?
Fortunately, Lin Fan's wait was not in vain. After what seemed like the middle of the night, Niu Dadan finally pushed open the door and came out.
He glanced around cautiously, then quietly walked in one direction.
Wow, what a strong sense of stealth! This time it was just a lucky break, but we hit the mark. This Niu Dadan really is suspicious.
Lin Fan's night vision was pretty good, allowing him to keep a certain distance and keep up, so his footsteps wouldn't arouse Niu Dadan's suspicion.
Niu Dadan headed down the mountain in one direction. He was very familiar with the mountain path, and after several twists and turns, Lin Fan had no idea where they were.
Niu Dadan had already descended the mountain and arrived at a gray wall. Instead of going through the door, he crawled into a dark hole.
Lin Fan didn't use the Soul-Suppressing Pearl; his heart was pounding with excitement. Even if he didn't find the entrance, he was about to witness Niu Dadan's big secret.
He immediately followed and crawled inside, the sound of weaving filling his ears. Huh? Someone's weaving so late?
Lin Fan cautiously looked around at the dilapidated courtyard and the barely passable houses. The biggest problem was that there wasn't a single ray of light except for the moonlight. Weaving without a lamp? How could they weave like that?
A sense of fear of the unknown darkness welled up in Lin Fan's heart. He decisively took out the Soul-Suppressing Pearl and swallowed it. There might be some danger next, so he should be prepared.
Niu Dadan went into a room, and Lin Fan immediately followed.
Blah blah blah, blah blah.
The dense sound of weaving echoed neatly in the large room. Lin Fan's heart tightened; sure enough, it was still pitch black around him, even darker than outside.
In the darkness, a figure sat in front of a loom, repeating the same actions: weaving, weaving, and more weaving.
Lin Fan was surprised by two things: first, how could cloth be woven in the dark; and second, that this world actually had a loom. Why then had his waterwheel been banned before?
The scene of people working tirelessly in the dark reminded Lin Fan of the lights-out factories in the real world, and the feeling was indeed quite eerie.
Because the environment was noisy, Lin Fan became even more cautious, wanting to see what Niu Dandan was up to at the textile factory.
Suddenly Niu Dadan stopped, and Lin Fan was startled and immediately stopped as well, almost bumping into his back. Lin Fan subconsciously grabbed onto something nearby to slow down.
Lin Fan felt a hard texture in his hand and looked down to see that he had grabbed a textile worker's leg.
He was startled. Could it be that he had alerted him?
Wait a minute, why does this leg feel like this?
Seeing that Niu Dadan had stopped and was busy with something, and that the textile worker was not responding, Lin Fan boldly began to examine the leg in his hand.
Beneath the loose pants was a thin leg, and it felt...square? Lin Fan lifted the other person's pant leg and saw that the leg was indeed a square piece of wood!
The textile worker seemed to need to mend the silk, so he stood up.
Lin Fan disregarded Niu Dadan and looked around in horror. Every exposed part of the textile worker's body was made of wood! Wood! Wood!
The lifelike face, upon closer inspection, is actually a wooden mask.
For some reason, Lin Fan suddenly felt angry. "You audacious bastard! You're a hunter on the surface, but what are you doing behind the scenes?"
Niu Dadan lit three incense sticks and placed them in front of a Buddha statue.
Lin Fan also went to see the Buddha statue. It was life-sized, but the outer layer was damaged, revealing the black, dried-out parts underneath. In particular, a large piece of the face was missing, revealing black, dry lips and yellowed teeth.
The overall impression is one of outward grandeur and solemnity, while the inner self resembles a black, dried-up corpse—a bizarre contrast. Moreover, it's broken and no one has repaired it.
After offering incense, Niu Dadan strode away, and Lin Fan quickly followed.
The environment gradually improved; the plants in the courtyard showed signs of being tended, and the houses were no longer so dilapidated. Sensing a hint of human presence, Lin Fan's tense nerves relaxed slightly. It felt like returning from a terrifying underworld to the real world.
Niu Dadan was startled when he saw the lights on in the courtyard. He stopped and squatted down in the corner. Lin Fan squatted down a short distance behind him.
Not long after, the gate to the courtyard was pushed open, and Dr. Lei came out.
Wait, didn't the doctor go to Lin the Rich Man's house? How come we've run into each other here?
Wait, could this be the home of the wealthy Lin?
Following behind Doctor Lei emerged a young woman and a maid. The woman was not tall, with a touch of vermilion on her forehead that accentuated her delicate features and exquisite eyes. She wore a magnificent long robe, with a thin belt around her waist that highlighted her slender figure.
Overall, she has a pretty face and a shapely figure.
Hmm, could this be the third concubine?
Dr. Lei chatted with the "Third Concubine" for a few more minutes at the door before taking his leave.
Lin Fan watched in bewilderment, and saw that the 'Third Concubine' had gone back to her room and soon turned off the lights.
After waiting a while, Niu Dadan finally made a move again, tiptoeing into the courtyard next to the 'Third Concubine'.
Lin Fan immediately followed, only to see someone already waiting in the courtyard. The 'Third Concubine' had changed out of her previous fine clothes and into a simple nightgown. The loose collar revealed a large expanse of snow-white skin, and her breasts, now unrestrained, were magnificent. A large area of her back was exposed, and her smooth skin was so delicate it seemed as if it could be broken with a touch.
She wore a pair of embroidered shoes, and her two delicate little feet paced anxiously back and forth in the muddy ground overgrown with weeds.
Niu Dadan called her softly, and she seemed to come back to her senses, her beautiful, watery eyes fixed on the honest-looking man in front of her.
Unfortunately, Lin Fan improved his eyesight rather than his hearing. When the two whispered to each other, he couldn't hear them clearly.
After the 'Third Concubine' spoke for a while, she started crying. Niu Dadan reached out and hugged her tightly.
Wow, you audacious bastard! Just how many things are you hiding behind my back?
I thought you were just brave, but I never imagined you were really daring, daring to eat anything!
The "Third Concubine" cried in Niu Dadan's arms, her sobs so delicate that any man would soften and feel sympathy upon hearing them. Niu Dadan gently patted her back and softly comforted her.
Lin Fan's legs were numb from squatting, and the two finally separated. Fortunately, they didn't take it any further, otherwise Lin Fan would have had to continue squatting for the length of a movie.
Dr. Lei was exhausted; he directed the search of the mountains during the day and went to the wealthy man's house at night. The problem was, this wasn't an ordinary illness; it was incurable, yet it was mentally and physically draining. Why did doctors have to endure all this?
Dr. Lei plopped down in his chair, having just brewed a pot of strong tea, when the scenery in front of him suddenly trembled. It was like the air distorted by the scorching summer sun.
But it's the middle of the night!
"Huh, am I just too tired and my eyes are blurry?" Dr. Lei subconsciously rubbed his eyes. When he opened them again, a person suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Dr. Lei was so startled that he almost fell off his chair.
