After Chu Ling opened her eyes, she found that she had come to a wilderness ridge, and there was a stretch of rocky road at her feet. It was not accurate to say that it was a road, because it was paved with a pile of miscellaneous stones.

Because of the saying that there is no road in this world, the road becomes when there are many people walking.

Weeds were growing on both sides, Chu Ling tightened her backpack, and walked straight along the road, but was stopped by an aunt in a blue cotton coat at the intersection.

The auntie looked around at the young man in front of her, smiled and said, "Little baby, do you want to stay?"

Chu Ling: "No need, thank you, Auntie."

"We have a little girl, but she's pretty, do you want to come?"

Chu Ling: "... I don't want a little girl either."

He rubbed his forehead, raised his head and was about to leave when he was grabbed by the corner of his clothes again: "Don't rush, don't rush."

The aunt approached her side, looked left and right, and whispered: "If you like male dolls, we also have them in the house."

"...No, I don't even need this kind of thing. Auntie, you are mistaken. I don't live in a hotel, and I don't need any male or female dolls."

Chu Ling ran wildly and found herself in a commercial street, or a small market.

This should be a place at the fringe of urban and rural areas, and the stalls sell all kinds of things. Judging from the couplet on the stall directly opposite him, it is the Chinese New Year here.

Those people were hawking on their own, and no one noticed the arrival of this outsider, or maybe they noticed, but didn't care.

Most of what they sell are handmade gadgets, such as tiger-toed shoes, small sachets and small hats, which seem to be things for children.

"Baby, buy one?"

"Go back and bring it to the doll, it's so rare."

Looking at the tiger-headed hat handed over by the uncle, Chu Ling found that the tiger-headed hat was surprisingly cute, the workmanship was very delicate, and the fur on the hat was adorable.

"Then I want two, thank you, sir."

Chu Ling took the tiger head cap and put it in his backpack, looked around, it was really strange that he didn't see anyone who looked like a player, he asked without hope: "Master...have you heard of the New Year's Eve dinner? "

"New Year's Eve dinner? Is it Xiaolanhua's?" The uncle pointed to the carport in front, "Go ahead and have a look, there are often boys like you waiting there."

"Thank you uncle."

Chu Ling walked quickly in the direction the uncle pointed, and sure enough, she found a dilapidated carport behind the market, where seven or eight people had already gathered, including a child.

That's right, a little boy who looks to be fourteen or fifteen years old at most.

The crowd was also talking about the little boy: "Wow, where did this kid come from?"

"Whose child?"

"This kind of dungeon can have children? Should I say awesome or awesome?"

"Hey, I always feel that this kid looks familiar..."

The child was sitting on a somewhat dirty bench, with a pretty fair and handsome face, but looked a little gloomy. Chu Ling glanced at it, then quickly looked away, and continued to look for the person he was looking for in the crowd.

But after looking around, he couldn't find Lu Weixing. Could it be that he hasn't come yet?

Just as he was thinking, the child stepped forward and grabbed Chu Ling's sleeve, dragged him to the corner, wrinkled his face, and said with extreme reluctance: "I am Lu Weixing."

Chu Ling: "???"

The child's voice is crisp and raw, with a little immature voice, which sounds inexplicably magnetic.

Seeing Chu Ling's expression, Lu Weixing's white and tender face darkened a little, "I'm getting smaller, so I won't drag you down."

"No, it's not." Chu Ling squatted down and looked around, and found that the kid did look a bit like Lu Weixing between his eyebrows, especially when his face was cold now, it was exactly the same as the photo he saw that time.

"It's really the same, so cute." Chu Ling stretched out a hand to pinch the child's face, and said with a smile, "So your change has become smaller this time?"

Lu Weixing nodded with a dark face.

"Pfft...hahahahahahahaha!" Chu Ling laughed very unceremoniously.

Lu Weixing: "..."

It was rare to see Lu Weixing deflated, and Chu Ling was overjoyed.

At this moment, the dust was flying, and a dusty ox cart loaded with dry straw stopped in front of everyone.

"The last bus, the last bus to the village, if you want to get on it, hurry up."

The cart was pulled by a standard big yellow ox. The driver was wearing a large fur collared jacket with fur trim and a bamboo hat on his head, so his face could not be seen clearly.

Everyone looked at each other, this was supposed to be going to the New Year's Eve dinner, and got on the bullock cart one by one.With nine adults and one child, the ox cart was too crowded. Chu Ling couldn't do it, so she could only hug Lu Weixing and sit on his lap, and walked to the inside of the ox cart.

Although straw is paved, the mountain road is difficult to walk, especially the road gets worse as you go deeper into the village. In the end, you even drive on a lump of mud.

Accompanied by the special smell of cow dung on the car, after bumping for half an hour, everyone finally arrived at the destination, a dilapidated small village, and some raised small bumps could be vaguely seen in the fields on both sides of the village. What exactly is a soil bag.

The coachman said in a hoarse voice: "Go to the village, the sixth family will be there."

After speaking, he waved the bullwhip and disappeared into the shadows.

There is a stone monument at the head of the village. Someone stepped forward to push the weeds in front of the monument, revealing the body of the monument. You can vaguely read the three characters of "Shiliu Village" written on it.

"This...go?"

"Otherwise you stay here?"

"Forget it, let's go in."

A group of people entered the village in a mighty manner. It was evening now, and it had just turned dark. Most of the houses were closed, and only the sixth small courtyard was still lit with weak lights.

The wooden door of the small courtyard was not closed, it was just concealed, as if waiting for their arrival, everyone pushed open the door and filed in.

This is a very dilapidated small yard. It looks dilapidated from the outside, and even more dilapidated from the inside. The walls are covered with creepers and wet moss. The dustpan outside has dried some dried shiitake mushrooms, but they are already moldy.

"It's weird here..."

"The theme this time is New Year's Eve dinner, can this kind of family also have New Year's Eve dinner?"

The two people in front were discussing, when the door of the hut in the middle was pushed open, a faint light appeared, it was a woman holding an oil lamp.

"You are finally here." The woman's voice has a weird accent. She is wearing a striped down jacket with a ecru yellow base, with two patches on the cuffs, her hair is tied together, a piece of cloth is covering her head, and her face is a bit pointy. The eyes are neither big nor small, but the distance between them is a bit wide.

"The cubs are thinking about you, but it's over."

"What, what cub?"

As soon as the words fell, I saw seven or eight little radish heads pouring out of the room behind the woman, wearing blue-gray jackets of exactly the same color. Degree.

What's happening here?

"My name is Lanhua, and these are my children." The woman touched a carrot head beside her, "Thank you for coming to our New Year's Eve dinner. The children haven't seen outsiders for a long time, so you can play with them these days." .”

"Although the yard is a bit old, but fortunately there are many rooms, you can live in whatever you want. It's getting late today, all distinguished guests should rest earlier."

At some point, a little carrot head slipped out from behind Lanhua, grabbed the leg of a girl in the team, and said pitifully, "Sister, I like you, can I play with you tomorrow?"

The girl was so frightened that she subconsciously wanted to hide behind her teammates, but the experience of coming in these few times told her that the more trouble the more the consequences would be more disastrous. She bit her lip and whispered: "I, we will talk about it tomorrow."

Lan Hua said lightly: "Little brother, come back quickly, this is only the first day, don't scare the guests."

It was obviously a very flat tone, but the carrot head called the younger brother seemed to have paused for something terrible, and immediately shrank back.

"Excuse me, I'll take the kids back to bed first."

The little carrot heads surrounded the orchids and left, and some children looked away at them reluctantly.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, so this time they were really asked to take care of the children?

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to the only person in the team who brought their children to participate.

Lu Weixing looked over with a cold look, and those eyes suddenly scattered.

"In such a dilapidated courtyard, the rooms are probably about the same, so don't think about choosing, just live in whatever you want."

"I think everyone knows how difficult the A9 dungeon is. Since we are so lucky to be able to participate in this dungeon together, the most important thing is to work hard to find clues to pass the level." The speaker was a middle-aged man named Yang Ziguo, and Chu Ling felt inexplicably from him. To a long-lost atmosphere of leadership.

The ten people were just divided into five groups, and most of the selected rooms were next to each other, only a couple chose a little farther away, not next to everyone, at the corner of the yard.

Yang Ziguo chose the middle position of the team, while Chu Ling and Lu Weixing chose the room slightly behind.

It seems to be really backward here, the room is only illuminated by a small oil lamp, Lu Weixing checked it specially, this time it is just an ordinary oil lamp, not some strange human oil lamp.

There is no fragrance, only the smell of low-quality kerosene smoke, which is a bit choking.

With the help of the light, it turned out that not only the outside of the house, but also a lot of mildew spots had grown on the walls inside the house. Chu Ling touched the quilt, and it was damp as expected.

"It's so backward here, not only the house is moldy, but even the furniture is moldy."

"There's another mushroom here." Lu Weixing was short now, so he could only point to the colorful mushrooms on the wall, beckoning him to take a look.

Chu Ling looked up, and there was indeed a very bright blue mushroom obliquely growing out of the gap in the wall.

"In fact, there are more than houses and furniture here. I also smelled a musty smell from the group of children just now."

Chu Ling frowned and said, "I just saw that one of the children seemed to have freckles on his face. This family is a bit weird..."

"Eh? What are you doing?"

As soon as Chu Ling turned her head, she saw Lu Weixing squatting in the corner, lying on the ground sideways, pulling something.

"There's a brazier here, I'll toast the quilt for you, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to sleep due to the humidity."

Lu Weixing pulled out a small brazier from the corner.

Chu Ling's eyes lit up, and the two of them pulled the brazier to the middle of the room together and began to roast the quilt.
