Chapter 205 The old man who should not return

After Xiao Muyu looked at the corpse, she gazed calmly around the crowd, not letting go of everyone's eyes, limb movements, even subtle facial muscle movements.

Shen Qingqiu had already realized the reason why Xiao Muyu came out in such a hurry. She not only wanted to see what happened last night, but also wanted to know how the people who saw this scene would behave.

Teammates of two players have come forward, but the family of the other deceased has not.

An elderly man was supported by a young man, and walked to the corpse with a solemn expression.

"The village chief is the youngest of Father Yao's family."

The village chief glanced at the two players first, and then at the villagers of the village who had died on the ground. He stared at the corpse for half a minute with a goatee, then raised his eyes and looked around the villagers. Don't look too far, you look at me and I look at you.

The village chief just looked at it, and quickly withdrew his eyes and said in a serious tone: "It's a blessing in misfortune, Ah Sheng, and his family members, why don't you come here quickly, there are still many things to deal with, and there is no time to delay."

Xiao Muyu looked up at the old man and the young man. The old man was the village chief, but he wasn't the one who came out last night.

Xiao Muyu couldn't help but think of the woman in the burqa, and Ah Sheng on the other side nodded and left after hearing what the village chief said.

Among the surrounding crowd, players and NPCs consciously divided into two groups. Xiao Muyu looked at the villagers, some with dull eyes, some with unconcealable fear, and some with joy.

But no matter what the expression was, Xiao Muyu felt that they were not surprised.

Soon the man named A Sheng brought back a young woman. The woman's eyes were red and swollen, and her energy was very listless. When she saw the man lying on the ground, she closed her eyes and bowed her head sobbing.

"Where's your in-laws? Why are you here?" The village chief frowned, obviously dissatisfied.

The woman choked with sobs and said with difficulty: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law couldn't bear it physically after being stimulated, so let me pass on a message. The village chief and the godmother-in-law are in charge of what to do. We all listen."

The village chief heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and his expression softened a little, "You can't come back from the dead, so go back and take care of your parents-in-law. I'll take care of it for your family here."

After hearing this, the woman bent down, "Thank you, the village chief, Xiao Muyu looked at the woman and the village chief, and listened to their conversation. At this moment, Su Jin came over in a low voice, and pulled Xiao Muyu's clothes, "Captain Xiao, you look there. "

Xiao Muyu calmly followed Su Jin's finger pointing towards it quietly, and there was a big jujube tree to the west behind the crowd, and something was exposed behind the jujube tree.

Xiao Muyu took a closer look and found that it was a black cloth shoe. The shoe didn't seem to fit very well. The position of the big toe was bulging to reveal the gray burr inside, which was very worn.

Shen Qingqiu also saw it, she stepped back, nodded to Chen Kaijie calmly, moved her lips a few times, Chen Kaijie understood, and quickly passed the things over.

Shen Qingqiu glanced at Xiao Muyu, and wrote a few words on her palm. Xiao Muyu nodded, then held Shen Qingqiu's writing finger, and gently pinched it.

Shen Qingqiu frowned, couldn't help pursing his lips into a smile, then moved back calmly, retreated to the back of the line, and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Not only Shen Qingqiu, but Xiao Muyu found that there were teams and there were fewer people. Although she couldn't remember what everyone looked like, she had already memorized the number of people in each team when choosing a room last night.

With so many teams participating in the game at the same time, it is impossible for them to be the only ones who encountered strange things last night.

Shen Qingqiu was wearing an invisibility cloak, which was Chen Kaijie's favorite card.

With the help of the invisibility cloak, Shen Qingqiu can see everyone's movements without any scruples.

But now her target is the person hiding behind the tree, but Shen Qingqiu found that it took her only 1 minute before the person hiding behind the tree was gone.

She didn't get too close, because the ground was still dry after the rain, and the soft soil over there would leave footprints.

And the person squatting here has already left two footprints.Looking at the shape and size, it doesn't look like a man's foot, and the size of the shoe is about the same as Su Jin's.

Shen Qingqiu carefully looked at the depth of the footprints again, the edge of the soil turned up, because he was squatting here, one footprint was very shallow and the other was deeper, he seemed to be in a half-squat position.

The player shouldn't be hiding here, so it is certain that it is an NPC. Shen Qingqiu was about to get closer to take a look, but suddenly his expression turned slightly chilly, and he quickly took a step back.

Then she felt that there was a very light wind blowing in the air, and someone passed by.

She wasn't surprised, because the players who have come this far are all capable, and it's not the first time she's seen the invisibility tool.

But after a while, Shen Qingqiu found that those two footprints had been erased little by little.

There was a sneer at the corner of her mouth, it seemed that before the rules were figured out, someone had made the rules in her heart.

She didn't stop her, but just looked at the jujube tree. In fact, there were two jujube trees here, one on the left and one on the right, facing the leftmost room in the first row, which was next door to them.

The jujube tree that this person was hiding in was obviously much thicker, and the leaves were more luxuriant. On the trunk of the jujube tree, Shen Qingqiu saw a black mark, the front end was oval and then elongated and faded, it looked like the color of charcoal .Shen Qingqiu stretched out his hand to gesture, and then left.

The invisibility cloak can only last for 10 minutes, and the time is not up now, so she can stroll around the village to see if there is any other information.

Except for the house that no one chose last night, the houses in the village are basically open, except for one house, which is the residence of the weird woman who came out last night.

Because now it's dawn, Shen Qingqiu can see more clearly, she noticed that other people's houses are hung with gossip mirrors, but this weird woman's house is clean, it's the same as the empty house that the player chose last night. .

Because the door was closed, it was difficult for Shen Qingqiu to break in, so he listened at the window, but there was no other movement.

The invisibility time was limited, Shen Qingqiu only stayed for a moment before leaving.The deceased Yao Yuan's family was the rightmost family of the four families on the right side of the fourth row, Shen Qingqiu heard crying at the door as he passed by.

Someone died in the village, and the death was so bizarre, it stands to reason that the villagers should be talking about it, but Shen Qingqiu turned around all the way, basically every household was busy with their own affairs, no one discussed this matter.

The only thing I heard was two women who whispered the same words as the village chief when they were fetching water from the well, "It's a blessing in misfortune."

So Shen Qingqiu decided to take a good look at Yao Yuan's house, she walked in lightly, the structure of the house in front of her was almost the same as theirs, there was a teapot and five cups on the table.

The reason why Shen Qingqiu paid attention to the number of teacups was because of the two rooms they saw yesterday, one was theirs, and the other was the team that opened the door first, the number of teacups and the number of people actually matched.

But along the way, the number of cups I saw was 7 more, and only [-] were less. Obviously there is a problem.

The deceased Yao Yuan's family had five cups, but there were already five people in the house, namely Yao Yuan's wife, parents and two daughters.Shen Qingqiu didn't know if there was any special meaning, but he kept it in mind.

The sobbing of the old woman and the sighing of the old man came from the room. It was Yao Yuan's parents, and Yao Yuan's wife stood there with her head bowed like a dead body.

The two little girls shrank from the atmosphere in the room and stood behind the woman without saying a word.

"What kind of crime is this? Why is my son the only one who suffers? Why?"

The old woman cried with snot and tears, "This is the only one left in our family, why are there so many people not others."

She cried, and the old man was lying on the bed panting, "This is fate, it is a debt."

"If there is really a bad debt, let me, an old woman like me, pay it off. Why do you want to harm the youngest? My three sons are gone. Our family is gone.

Don't want me to be such a bad old woman, why don't you take away your broom star and these two useless dead girls.As long as you fight hard and give birth to a boy, it won't make my old couple hopeless. "

The more she thought about it, the more painful she was, clapping her hands and crying while cursing, her voice was not loud, she was suppressing it deliberately, the woman and child next to her didn't show any expression when they heard it, they just silently watched their feet weeping.

Shen Qingqiu's expression darkened immediately, her brows were tightly frowned, her contempt and disgust were not concealed in those light gray eyes, and they were a stinking copy of feudal dross, which made people very uncomfortable.

"Stop shouting, have you forgotten what the godly mother-in-law said?" The old man coughed a few times and scolded with his eyes wide open.

"So what if I remember, the youngest still didn't keep it, so what am I afraid of? Then... you, tell me, how did the youngest die?" The old woman thought of something and asked the woman hurriedly.

The woman raised her head now, thinking of that scene, her red and swollen eyes widened slightly, and the fear and panic in her pupils could not be concealed, "The ones who were beaten to death, Yao Yuan and the other man were beaten to death, their bones were broken Here, another woman, fell to her death and broke the back of her head."

After hearing this, the old woman trembled violently, "It's... It's revenge again, but we didn't kill those two children, what did we do, there is a wronged person and a debtor, why don't we go find..."

"Shut up!" Old man Yao suddenly threw out the cup with tea and water in his hand, this furious action finally made the old lady swallow what she wanted to say.

She also looked a little frightened, she murmured and stopped talking, just weeping in a low voice.

Shen Qingqiu couldn't help but frowned, clenched his fists tightly, but couldn't say the crucial information.

But it should be set in the system, if it is so simple to say, this matter is too simple.

Seeing that the time was approaching, Shen Qingqiu could only choose to leave first.Just when she turned around and was about to leave, out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of the two little girls behind the woman. The two little girls were grinning, not crying, but clearly smiling.

That smile was not what a child should have, it was devoid of innocence and cuteness, on the contrary, it revealed the insidiousness of the world.

But when Shen Qingqiu looked at it again, it was normal again.

Her heart sank slightly, and due to time constraints, she quickly exited the room.

Stepping on the last second when the invisibility cloak failed, Shen Qingqiu returned to Xiao Muyu's side.

The scene was a little chaotic. The two captains whose teammates had an accident were looking at the village chief with low faces at the moment, and the two groups of team members behind them were also a little bit tense.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qingqiu asked.

Seeing Shen Qingqiu's return, Xiao Muyu breathed a sigh of relief, first looked at her calmly, made sure that she was all right, and then said: "The village chief asked to dispose of the bodies of two people, he said this is Wuhui Village's rules. The bodies of these three people need to be handled by the godly mother-in-law in the village before they can be sent to a specific place for burial. The two of them are negotiating with the village chief."

"He is our team member. As the team leader, I have to be responsible for them. Even if the person is gone, we should take the ashes back. We don't understand your request, village chief. Why do you need to deal with it?" The woman's team leader spoke. , he frowned, looking sad and puzzled.

"He's really a good captain." Shen Qingqiu said in a low voice, but there was a hint of sneer in his eyes. In fact, they had already predicted the death of this teammate last night.

At this point, everyone has already expected life and death. Once a teammate dies, it is doomed to leave no dignity, and the corpse is meaningless.

What's more, everyone understands that there is a great risk in violating the NPC in the dungeon.

He did this only to strive for the greatest benefit of the living, which is understandable.

The village chief glanced at the group of them, his face was a little gloomy, "If you don't want you people to die worse, you'd better agree. You saw the group of living corpses outside. If you don't deal with it, it will be the worst thing you've seen. Peaceful day."

"That's all the old man said, but in order to be responsible to the people in the village, if you don't agree, please take your friends and leave."

Of course the two would not leave, they looked at each other and gave in.

"Take the corpse to the ancestral hall, and please ask the mother-in-law later." The village chief looked at Xiao Muyu and the others after speaking, "I already know your situation, you can stay, but please remember not to try to leave the village , Stay in the house honestly after dark, or you will be at your own risk.

In addition, our village is not big enough to support so many people. If you want to eat, you have to work. The wall in the village is no longer safe. I will give you a day to tear down the courtyard wall and rebuild it. "

After the village chief finished speaking, he pointed at Asheng, "You tell them about your requirements, and remind them to do well, otherwise no food will be the most fortunate ending."

Ah Sheng nodded, "Come with me."

Xiao Muyu and Shen Qingqiu looked at each other and followed them. There were seven teams. Some people should have been lost when they came out of the living corpse forest. Two more died last night. Currently, one team has 36 people in total, and the extra team has six people. There are only four people left.

By the time the walk was over, there was already some commotion among the crowd. The village was not big, but the length of the wall was beyond expectation.

And Xiao Muyu and the others also understood why the fence was built. They didn't pay attention to the archway, but when they walked to the back, Xiao Muyu realized that the person-high fence had only reached her collarbone.The bricks on it were forcibly chipped... No, someone scratched off a layer.

The walls are all made of yellow mud bricks, and the length is about 500 meters. If it is demolished first and then rebuilt, the workload of the day will be huge.

The faces of a group of people began to change, "Does this mean that we are going to be coolies?"

Ah Sheng pretended not to hear, and pointed to the wall in front of him, his face was no longer respectful and humble as he was when he was facing the village head, and his whole body was filled with a strong gloomy air.

"All these mud bricks with scratches have to be replaced. We will provide new bricks and replace them, but pay attention, the removed rotor must be as good as possible. If there is too much damage, you cannot afford the consequences. It has to be built before dark, remember, it has to be built."

"Then what will happen if it doesn't work well?" A short man asked coldly with A Sheng's tone obviously a little displeased.

Ah Sheng looked at him, and after a long time showed his teeth, narrowed his eyes, raised the tails of his eyes, and said with a low smile, "Don't worry, it won't fail, as long as there are enough materials, it can always be built."

But these words were not comforting to Xiao Muyu at all. What does it mean that the materials are enough?

Threatening them to build it before dark, why do you say it is impossible to build it?Is it enough to trust them?

"Oh, by the way, we will calculate the amount of work according to the amount of bricks we removed and put in, and we will give you work points. The maximum number of work points for men is eight a day, and six work points for women. Work points can be exchanged for food."

Xiao Muyu, Shen Qingqiu: ...

"Eight work points for men, six work points for women? Are you sure?" Shen Qingqiu stared at A Sheng, his eyes darkened.

The author has something to say: Xiao Shen: May I give you another chance to reorganize the language?

A Sheng: Eight work points for men, six work points for women, and ten work points for you...you.
