Undead Chessboard

"The meal is at the village chief's house. The village chief will go back after the sacrifice. If you are hungry, you can eat first." Cai Lie was the first to go out and opened the door, and heard the first sentence of the village name outside. That's it.

"Ah, we got it." Cai Lie looked into the other party's eyes and nodded hurriedly, and finally watched the villagers walk away crookedly.

"My God, this person's eyes are like dead fish eyes." Cai Lie patted his chest, expressing that he was frightened by those eyes.

Xing Shengli just walked to the door and leaned on "walking very stiffly" and went straight out of the door, ready to ask the village chief's house.

The atmosphere outside is black and substantive, as if there is no color at all, like looking at an ink painting.Except for the limping villager in front of him, there was no one around.

But there is a sign on the street that seems to be dedicated to pointing the way for chess. It shows that the village chief's house is at the end on the right.

Around the house there are some black leaves on the windows and outside the door.The street lamp is also cracked with a big hole, like an unknown small village in an unknown hill.

"Tell me, will the village chief's house be poisoned if we go to eat, and send us as sacrifices to some mountain god?" Cai Lie expressed everyone's concerns.

"Be careful, haven't you noticed that all the dry food you brought is gone?" Yun Xiyan asked with a frown, he couldn't find any edible dry food in his backpack.

It's like deliberately making them unable to be late for food, and they have to get food in the chess game.

"Damn, it's really gone." Cai Lie touched his backpack, and there really wasn't one left.

"Let's go." Xing Shengli glanced at them. Now that they have reached this point, they must eat in order not to starve to death in this wilderness.That is, it is an inevitable condition.

The air in the mountains is extraordinarily fresh. There is no heavy traffic in the city, no carbon dioxide from the rear of the car, and no smoke from the factory. The sky is dark and cloudy with the natural wind speed.

"This place is very wrong, very unreal." Xing Shengli still walked side by side with Yan Yu, whispering, although the whispering was inexplicably serious.

Yan Yu thought for a while and replied: "Their eyes are strange, and their body coordination is also strange, as if they are not controlled by themselves."

"This way..." Xing Shengli suddenly had no idea to go on, if this place itself is not real.

"Let's go to the village chief to have a look first, and then draw conclusions." Yan Yu stroked Xing Shengli's soft hair, and Xing Shengli very naturally ignored the other party's salty hands this time.

"Um"

Xing Shengli and Xing Shengli were finally squeezed in the front, and the other chess players walked side by side at the back. There was not a single villager in the place they passed that looked like a famous ghost village.Under the feet, the walking path is formed by paving many small stones on it, and it is covered with a lot of soil, so that the cloth shoes of the villagers will not hurt their feet like that.

"The village chief's house is here. Should we open the door or not? If we don't open the door, we will starve to death or be killed by ghosts outside. If we enter the door, we will be poisoned or hacked to death." Anyway, he said it with a serious face.

"Go in," Yan Yu said.

Xing Shengli directly pushed them away, and there was no manners at all, "cluck" The door made a cluck sound when it was opened inside, and there was moss on the door, like plum blossoms, and it seemed that it had been a long time It doesn't look like people live, but isn't this a village?

There was no one inside, only a big table, counted, the number of chairs was exactly the number of their proficiency plus one.There are dishes that are sprayed first on the table.Just some simple home cooking.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised pork, and green vegetables are very homely dishes.But it silenced all the chess players.

It can be said that these home-cooked dishes are very difficult for them to see, and they don’t have time to make them when they are alive. They either have lunch boxes, or go out to eat, or buy an instant noodle by themselves, and boil water for five yuan to solve the meal. Sometimes You can add a day like ham sausage.

If there is such a dish, it is the time to go home. When you go home during the Chinese New Year, it is the warmest and the happiest day of the year.

This kind of emotion may not be strong when we are in school, but when we walk out of the campus and set foot on the train, the long journey has passed through spring and autumn.

Since then, there is no spring, summer and autumn in my hometown, but only one east.This is the time when you miss the taste of home the most.Nobody likes running around.

Even Xu Liangwei and the others from Yuzhou basically forgot their vigilance, and sat directly on the chairs, looking at the dishes in front of them, but none of them dared to move their chopsticks, because they were all high-level players with sense of proportion.

The original villager said that they can wait for the village chief to come and talk about it, as long as they don't starve to death for a while.In this way, there is a lot of protection.

The room was rather dark, except for an oil lamp on the round table that was flickering faintly, which slightly illuminated the dishes and the faces of the chess players.

Suddenly there was another clucking sound from the outside door, and at a glance, he saw a bearded eyebrow covering most of his facial features, hunched over, and holding a crutch in his hand.Walked forward slowly.

"Everyone needs to eat at my place next. Every twelve o'clock in the afternoon and six o'clock in the evening, there will be dishes on the table. Please feel free, everyone. After eating, follow me to see the most famous sacrificial mountain in our village. Temple." The village chief said slowly and left, and the door of the village chief's house seemed to have a board drilled out of the soil.The line of defense pointed to is the mountain temple.

It's like the people here don't like to stay with the chess players for an extra second.After the important information is finished, it will disappear at any time like a gust of wind.

"Damn it, these people have a hot wheel growing on their feet or something, I'm a ghost... Bah, am I going to kill them or something? They can walk faster than I can see hell." Cai Lie is the most The one who escaped immediately complained.

"These meals are edible, hahaha, I haven't eaten these for a long time, but I miss them a bit." Yun Xiyan picked up her chopsticks first, and put a piece of green vegetable into her mouth.

Even the NPCs have indicated that the food inside is edible, so it is edible. If it is poisonous, these villagers must not look like this

"What is the sacrifice of the mountain god? Do you know that I have heard about the God of Wealth?" Xu Liangwei asked, scratching his head.

Yan Yu knew about it, so she spoke out. "The mountain god is similar to the profession of a guardian god, and is responsible for protecting the water, soil and life of this side."

"What does it mean that the mountain god was destroyed by faith? Born in faith probably means that the villagers believe in it. It has always been like this. In this case, the mountain god appeared because of faith, but it was destroyed by faith... This doesn't make sense. It probably means that the mountain god is because of the villagers. I no longer believed in it and disappeared, but it’s different here, what is the meaning of this old age? Now I probably want to figure out these issues.” After Yuzhou finished speaking, he chose to eat quietly.

The autistic boy's dye center didn't make any sound from the beginning to the end, just doing his own thing in silence - in a daze.

The above home-cooked dishes disappeared little by little, and the chess players ate them with their own nostalgia. Even if the dishes were poisonous, it seemed worth spending a purification talisman for this meal.

This is a meal that I miss in terms of its style, appearance, and taste.

The autistic boy finally spoke: "My hometown is a place where mountain gods are worshiped"

"What??? Your family worships the mountain god?" Cai Lie was shocked. This person did not speak from the beginning, and his sense of existence was based on the fact that everyone knew his existence.

"Yes, mountain god, in order to bless you will appear in this year as you wish, when I was a child, my family was very feudal and wanted to send myself as a sacrifice, because I was a man who looked like a man and a woman at that time." Autism is just less willing to talk than Xing Shengli. "Since the young people there came out to work and earn money, there are fewer and fewer people inside. I don't know if the custom of this mountain god will disappear."

Disappeared... Xing Shengli said the word silently in his heart, "Disappeared, what will happen to the mountain god?"

Ran Zhongshu raised his head and glanced at Xing Shengli, his long bangs covered Ran Zhongshu's forehead, "It should not exist anymore, isn't this corresponding to the one destroyed by faith?"

"Let's go and have a look at the sacrificial place, maybe you will know something, just follow the plot for now, this chess game is relatively big." Yan Yu said with a smile

"Well, indeed, but just because I didn't say anything doesn't mean you should leave before I finish eating." He smiled happily and looked at the other people who had put down their chopsticks so quickly.I was still burying my head in eating rice.

"Are you eating so slowly?" Cai Lie just realized that there was another person eating.

"Is my sense of existence so low?" Xing Gao said with an unhappy face.

Xing Shengli and the two walked out the door, the air outside was still so fresh, the air that was breathed into the nose seemed to have a little smell of grass after sliding into the nasal cavity.

"These villagers are fake," Xing Sheng said straight away from the station, looking at the cracked light bulb in the distance.There is a feeling of being an outsider.

"It's fake, but we still need to confirm whether these villagers are real or fake, or half-truths and half-fakes." Yan Yu also followed Xing Shengli's topic. "Everyone is outside, so..."

Yan Yu touched the other's face, while he lowered his head and kissed the other's glistening lips.This kiss is like a quick and short kiss, but the love to be conveyed is still very strong.

Xing Shengli looked at the other party and it was obvious that his head was a little dazed, but he still reacted quickly.Seeing that the other party tapped his toes and kissed the other party's face directly, he said: You are playing a hooligan, why don't you allow me to be a hooligan?
