Wu Wen took the shadow figure and went to the family the husband mentioned.

After a short walk to the west, you can see a house with a light on, and a heavy stone mill at the door.

So he went over and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" The door opened with a "squeak", and a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks poked his head out. Seeing him standing outside, his face was not very happy, "Why do both of the people who came this time like to visit me?" This house runs."

Wu Wen didn't know what to say, so he held up the shadow figure that the old man gave him and showed him, "Well, the grandpa I met just now said that if you show this to you, you will have a place to sleep."

"Eh? All right, all right, come in." The man muttered a few words and let him in.

The man's house is not big, just a tile-roofed house with two rooms. He sleeps in one room, and the other room is a guest room.

"A man just came and lives in the next room, so you can sleep with him." The man held an oil lamp and said, "But remember to go to bed early, there are things for you to do when you get up tomorrow morning."

The homes of the residents in this village do not seem to have electricity, and the windows of the houses are not glass, but a layer of paper. Overall, the village should be very poor.

Wu Wen responded, put the shadow puppet in his hand on the wooden table in the main room, and walked to the next room.

At first he thought that the person in that room was Mr., but it turned out to be Aji, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, as if he had been waiting for him for a while, and a dim oil lamp was burning in the room.

"Hi." Aji greeted him.

"Long time no see." Wu Wen walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.

Although he and Aji haven't seen each other for a while, they had been facing each other day and night in the first dungeon, so they wouldn't feel awkward staying in the same room now.

"But why are you here? Sir, isn't he here?" Wu Wen asked a little strangely.

"Mr., he said he wanted to go to a place to see first, and let me be with you first. So I told him the location of my house." Aji stared at him, but smiled after a while, " But why did you live so miserably, you had such a big wound on your wrist in our world before, and seeing you now, there is such an obvious pinch mark on your neck."

"Well... I really can't tell for a while, but I still don't have enough strength." Wu Wen was a little embarrassed, and asked Aji's recent situation, "It's you, I heard that you got into trouble and lost it. The task points of a dungeon are only included in this dungeon to brush points, what is going on?"

Unexpectedly, Aji's expression became weird after hearing his words, "You don't know why I got into trouble?"

"Huh?" Second Monk Wu Wenzhang was puzzled.

"I saw you in the mall, you still wanted to save that man when I was dragged away!"

Wu Wen suddenly realized, "You are the one who killed people with a dagger in the shopping mall! No wonder I said your voice sounded so familiar!"

Aji was rendered speechless by Wu Wen's sluggishness, so he simply stood up and looked for another quilt in this small room, "Is it okay to sleep together tonight? I have to get up and work tomorrow, so I have to rest well." OK."

"Okay..." He also stood up and looked for the quilt...

But Wu Wen was really scratching his head. He wanted to ask Aji why he wanted to kill people, and where did he get the points so that he had just changed from an npc to a human, so he had the money to buy a dagger worth five hundred, but I was also afraid that these topics might be too private and might annoy him.

Aji had already found the quilt, and when he turned around, he saw the tangled look on Wu Wen's face.

"...Actually, if you have any questions, you can tell me directly. My husband told me all about it. He said that you are a trustworthy partner."

"Ah...really?" Wu Wen's eyes sparkled because of this sentence, and he felt a little happy, but he still didn't forget the serious question.

So he coughed a little shyly and asked, "Actually, I just want to ask you why you killed that person... After all, in my opinion, although you are young, Aji, you are not an emotional person. You won't kill him just because of personal grievances in the mission, you must kill him because of something serious that happened."

Aji looked at him silently for a while, but he didn't feel happy because of his praise. Instead, his expression became less and indifferent, as if recalling some extremely bad experience.But he said, "You are too good at guessing. I only want to take revenge because of that evil pen."

Wu Wen could sense that Aji's emotions had become very complicated at this moment, and he also knew that things were definitely not as simple as what Aji said was just an act of revenge, but he knew that Aji was unwilling to say more about this matter, so He also wisely stopped asking.After all... he was actually just worried about Aji, he could feel that Aji had changed.

Perhaps Ah Ji also sensed his concern, sighed leisurely, and said, "You are really a weirdo." Then he put the quilt on the bed for him, turned on the lamp, and the two of them rolled up the quilt like this They each fell asleep.

Both of them slept soundly this time, but they were woken up by a cock crowing the next day.

The two of them are people who are used to getting up early, and there is nothing wrong with it. They got up quickly to wash up, and saved each other's mobile phone numbers.

Speaking of saving mobile phone numbers, he thought of Aji, who played cards out of common sense last night. Because of his unconventional behavior, the players left without exchanging contact information.

When the host entered the room, he saw the two of them sitting by the bed in full dress, and nodded with satisfaction.

It was less than six o'clock in the morning, and it was dark outside, with only a slight firelight for illumination.

Perhaps it was because the two of them got up early, and the man treated them decently, saying that in order to reward them, he would make some porridge for them to fill their stomachs and let them go to work.

While waiting for the host to make breakfast, he and Aji sat beside the only wooden table in the house, and Aji's eyes were naturally attracted by the shadow puppet that Wu Wen put on the table yesterday.

"What is this? I didn't see it when I came in yesterday." Aji asked.

"I brought this here yesterday..." Wu Wen felt strange, "But...you didn't receive this shadow man yesterday?"

"Why did you ask so?"

"Yesterday, when I came back with other players, an old man gave it to us, saying that I could have a place to stay with this."

"Is that what he told you?"

"What do you mean?" Wu Wen thought about Aji's words and was a little confused: "What did he say and what you said were different?"

"He only told me to find a house with a light to go in, and didn't give me your thing." Aji said, and picked up the shadow puppet on the table to look at, "But what's the matter with this shadow puppet? The wedges are already painted by painting?"

Wu Wen also frowned and shook his head, expressing that he didn't know what was going on, "It was like this when I got it yesterday, and I also thought it was weird."

Aji and Wu Wen studied the shadow man for a while, but couldn't see anything after all, so they put it back on the table.

The male host also came at this time, bringing two bowls of rice soup-like porridge for them to drink and go to work.

"There's only so much to eat!" Aji was not very happy, and complained.

The man heard it, and said mockingly, "Where do you think this is? This place is so poor that the grass on the mountain behind has been pulled out, and we can't afford to eat, but we can still give a few mouthfuls of food to others with good intentions." You should be grateful if you fill your bellies and work, and it’s too unreasonable to leave it here and babble!"

Aji twitched the corners of his mouth, and when the man said that, he didn't say a word. He finished the rice soup in one gulp, and watched Wu Wen drink the soup with the man while groping his unsatisfied belly.

Wu Wen felt that he was under a lot of pressure, so he asked them what they should do today.

"It's very simple. People like you from outside always have to work hard to stay here. Here, there are three forms of work. The first is to go to the village to dig roads, and the second is to dig roads. The first is to stay at home and help me grind the mill, and the third is to go to the east entrance of the village to find old man Wang to make a shadow puppet." The man stood there and glanced at them strangely, "I know you people from outside always I'm so confused and don't know what to do, and I have to worry about more than half of the simple job, anyway, I'm not short of time, you can make a decision before the sun rises. As for going to the entrance of the village and staying at home, It’s up to you to decide whether to go to the east entrance of the village.”

"Wait, I want to ask, once this job is selected, is it fixed? Is there a chance to change it in the future?" After Wu Wen asked, seeing the man's bewildered face, he explained again, "I mean Say, for example, I chose to grind the mill on the first day, can I choose another one on the second day?"

"It's up to you, you can change it any way you want, as long as you do your work, you don't have to worry about sleeping on the street." After answering his question, the man asked again: "Any questions?"

Wu Wen glanced at Aji and shook his head.

The man yawned, as if he hadn't woken up, "That's fine. It's too early, I have to catch up on sleep, if you don't stay home, just go by yourself, don't disturb my sleep .” After he finished speaking, he went into the back room.

Wu Wen watched the man's figure disappear slowly, and then asked Aji, "How is it? Do you have any plans to do something?"

"Hmm..." Aji thought for a while and said, "I'll help make shadow puppets."

"It's good to be a shadow puppet..." Although Wu Wen still remembers the weird shadow puppet show last night, after all, this task has something to do with the shadow puppet, so although Aji's choice seems quite risky, it is still And it is really necessary.

"What about you? What are you going to do?" Aji asked.

"For me...I want to build roads today, and make shadow puppets tomorrow." He thought for a while and made a decision.

When he came in from the entrance of the village last night, he felt a little strange why the dirt road in the village was so potholed. He finally got the answer today. It turned out that the villagers here dug it like that on purpose.

But why did they dig a good road like this?Wouldn't this cause great difficulty for people's travel?
