The appearance of that person can indeed be described as "fragmented".

Large and large cracks spread from her body. The woman is like a fragile sculpture that has just been made. It is easily cracked when it is impacted. In those tiny gaps, a little light liquid overflows, with a little The scarlet color didn't look like normal blood, slowly swimming away from under his body and overflowing.

Zhao Yu froze on the spot like a log, at a loss what to do, he cast his eyes on the person who came along when he heard the movement.

"what!"

Mu Qiaoqiao, who had just opened the door and came in, was exhausted, his eyes suddenly fell on the strangely shaped corpse, and he let out a sharp and short scream.Zhao Yu's body was still a little white because he passed by the woman just now, like powder scraped off the wall, and the appearance of Liushenwuzhu obviously had the identity of the "perpetrator" written on his face.

"I did not do it on purpose!"

Zhao Yu also recognized that this person was obviously the woman who lived in the same room with him last night, but she was just deserted and unreasonable yesterday, but he didn't expect to become like this.And last night he saw this woman in a hallucination, so he was attracted to the bathroom and almost got killed. By the way, last night...

"Last night... Le! Yu! Shan!"

It was because he changed rooms with Le Yushan that the following series of things happened!Thinking back to Zhao Yu who was in shock all night, his eyes immediately turned red. The appearance of Le Yushan changing rooms with him without any care yesterday is clearly engraved in his memory. Kele Yushan is just a millet bug hugging Xia Qianlan's thigh. Where did it come from? Your courage and reliance?

The only possibility is that he was tricked by Le Yushan, that's why the kerosene lamp that saved his life was lost. Le Yushan must have known that woman was not a normal person long ago, and that's why she was so hypocritical and wanted to change places with him!Zhao Yu gritted his teeth, feeling an unknown fire in his heart, and couldn't bear it anymore, he rushed forward and grabbed Le Yushan's arm, where did such a woman with no strength to restrain her come from Strength to compete with him?Le Yushan staggered and was dragged a few steps, and stumbled to the edge of the wall.

"Give me back the kerosene lamp!"

The tall and tall young man had red eyes, but the moment he held Le Yushan's shoulder and screamed hoarsely, he felt a pain in his leg, and the force from behind almost made him fall to his knees.

Xia Qianlan stared at his face expressionlessly. Although she didn't say a word, Zhao Yu was defeated after a moment of stalemate. astringent meaning.

The corpse on the ground was soaked in sticky water stains. Looking closely, even the eyeballs were torn from a gap in the middle. The round balls were out of place, as if they were forcibly installed in the eye sockets.While Fat Brother was hesitant to speak, Xia Qianlang said "chopsticks", and Le Yushan, who was just in shock, immediately ran to the kitchen to help get them. The moment they handed them to Xia Qianlang's hands, their skin Inadvertently touching each other, Le Yushan's hand was a little cold, apparently just frightened.

Xia Qianlan was not interested in caring about her emotions. He poked lightly on the corpse's skin with his chopsticks, but only felt a strange stiffness.Generally, the skin of the deceased should still have some warmth and elasticity at this time, but this person's body is really as rigid as a sculpture, and even when she exerts a little more force, there is only a dull sound, and the movement of the hands The skin actually shattered as the crack expanded, revealing a hollow point of darkness.

Xia Qianlan's fingertips trembled, and the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground with a clang, while the people around had already fled in all directions and opened a safe distance when they saw the situation was not good.Mu Qiaoqiao hid half of her body behind Xie Siyu, pointing her slender fingers at the plaster-like corpse on the ground, her trembling voice contained great fear:

"This thing...was yesterday, died, or...?"

She wanted to say that one person died when Xia Qianlan and the two came back. Could it be a hidden rule in this villa to die one person every day, but the next moment, Xia Qianlang interrupted her guess without hesitation:

"It can't be an unspoken rule."

The boy in the beret who died yesterday was at least human when he died. Even if his death was tragic and abnormal, it can be clearly seen that it came from the hands of ghosts. Since this dungeon has formulated rules that do not allow the use of weapons, it must not There may be supernatural factors that are completely irresistible.

Xia Qianlan concentrated on her toes with a little strength, trying to kick the corpse on the ground away, but the corpse did not move at all.The unknown liquid on the ground had completely dried up when they didn't pay attention, sticking people in place like a strong solid glue, unable to move.Under her signal, Xie Siyu and the fat brother tried to carry the body out for burial like yesterday, but they were surprised to find that the strength of two grown men was unable to lift a petite woman. Up to a thousand catties, condensed into an unbreakable sticky force on the ground.

Not a player.

After belatedly thinking of this, the faces of all the people in the room turned pale for an instant, and the one who was most frightened was Le Yushan, who lived with her for one night.If it weren't for today's accident, she actually planned to go to watch the night with this person today. At least there are other people in the villa who can support each other. If I spend a night alone with this thing in a desolate and lonely cemetery...

Le Yushan shuddered, and grabbed Xia Qianlan's arm with red eyes, unwilling to let go easily no matter what.At the same time, a more difficult guess was raised by another tall male rookie who has not spoken much. After the death of the beret and the person pretending to be a player, he is already the only rookie left in the instance. :

"Then if this person is not a player, according to the number of people reported by the system before, shouldn't we still have one person?" Thinking of getting along with a non-human being for so long, the male newcomer's face is also very ugly, "That person won't Are you dead? What about the number of night vigils?"

Being replaced by something like this, everyone guessed that the player who hadn't appeared so far was probably in danger.In this way, the number of people left is an even number. Except for the two groups that have already kept vigil, there are still Le Yushan, two male newcomers, and Fat Brother who did not keep vigil. After five nights of guarding, after everyone has finished guarding, who will come after?

No one could answer his question, and the tall male rookie seemed a little annoyed, but there was really nothing he could do.

"Forget it, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and the dungeon will not give a dead end." Seeing the gloomy and oppressive atmosphere, Mu Qiaoqiao walked over the corpse cautiously, and cheered up to encourage everyone, "Let's go first today." Let’s find out the clues, it’s easier if there are two groups, I won’t eat breakfast, just take a steamed bun to eat on the way, if you want to eat, hurry up.”

Xie Siyu glanced at the dark eyes of the corpse and shook his head: "I don't need it either."

Of course, Xia Qianlan and Zhao Yu didn't intend to spend time here, after all, a living corpse could not be moved away in the room, and no matter how good the mental quality was, it was impossible to sit beside it and eat safely.Before Xia Qianlan opened the door and was about to go out, her wrist was suddenly pulled from behind. She quickly turned her head and met Le Yushan's shy smile.

"Sister Xiao Lan." Her voice is sweet and sweet. If in real life, this kind of natural coquettish taste must be particularly pleasant, but it is especially weird in the dangerous dungeon. "The food here is too unpalatable. Well, when you go out today, you can bring me some special products, can you?"

Mu Qiaoqiao was fiddling with shoelaces, but she looked up at Le Yushan in surprise, as if she couldn't believe that there were people doing this in the dungeon.She glanced at Xia Qianlang again, thinking that this woman who has always been straightforward and calm would at least reprimand her mercilessly, but what she didn't expect was that Xia Qianlang's expression changed only for a moment, and after a while, it turned into a face. He showed some helpless look on his face.

The corner of Xia Qianlan's lips curled up, revealing her first smile since entering the dungeon:

"If Shanshan wants it, of course it's fine."

If you ignore the flash of warning in your eyes, it is indeed a bit like the helplessness of being gentle and doting on your coquettish girlfriend.Under the stupefied eyes of the people nearby, Xia Qianlan suddenly stepped forward and pinched her phalanx, and the delicate and warm touch of the woman's skin swept across her fingertips:

"Then you stay here well."

Seeing that Le Yushan was covering up her apparent panic, she forced a smile.

**

If it wasn't for Le Yushan who suddenly came to look for her yesterday, Xia Qianlan would have almost forgotten the trivial detail of playing the "suiter".

When the other party came over, the dungeon reminded her that if her character design collapsed too much, there would be many restrictions, so she had to allow Le Yushan's many offenses.It's just that other people don't seem to have the task of maintaining her personality, especially Mu Qiaoqiao and Zhao Yu, who looked at her with curiosity. Zhao Yu, who knew the situation, even wondered if she and Le Yushan were What happened last night, otherwise how could it have changed overnight from the rejection we just met to what we are now.

Xia Qianlan couldn't explain clearly, and didn't bother to mention the human design to them.This is generally one of the restrictions for high-level players in the dungeon. Xia Qianlan only added trouble to himself if he said it. Fortunately, everyone's attention is not here now.

Mu Qiaoqiao said that last night they heard a vague calling, and the name seemed to be "Tianxiang".The voice over there was just a few words, but the gradually increasing volume made people tremble with fear. Last night, the cemetery was very windy, and Xie Siyu's oil lamp was blown out once. Later, the two of them took turns to block it with their bodies.

"Tianxiang" sounds like a girl's name.

With yesterday's groping, the four of them went to the village together faster today.Today is Monday, and Xia Qianlan saw many children carrying schoolbags gathered at the entrance of the village, playing cricket fight before class time.The cricket in the hand of one of the children with the red schoolbag was particularly fierce, and the other one was bitten back steadily, but when the next one came on the field, it did not move, circled around the smaller cricket and flew away. Landing on its back, the two became entangled.

"Fuck!" The kid is only about ten years old, but he swears swear words unambiguously, "How do you use female crickets to cheat?"

The person scolded by him was a thin little girl wearing a straw hat with a wide brim covering almost half of her face.The girl explained in a soft voice: "An old woman caught me a female cricket, and no one said that female crickets were bad at first..."

The boy with the red schoolbag sneered: "I think you are just playing tricks. If this female cricket hadn't seduced my cricket, it would have won! If you are so smart, you will be a piece of shit like Lou Tianxiang in the future—"

The boy seemed to think of something suddenly when he said this, his voice stopped abruptly, and there was some embarrassment and a flash of nervousness on his face.Seeing that the male cricket was still flirting with the female cricket, the boy simply stomped on it, and the two crickets caught off guard were all crushed into a meat paste.

"The grasshopper in estrus deserves to die." Finally, the boy smiled and leaned into the girl's ear and said something, but his voice was not low enough that everyone around could hear it, so a burst of laughter broke out among the children.

"Alright, alright, it's time for school!" The boy patted the dust off his buttocks, and walked away with a group of children laughing.The girl who stayed where she was was glanced at the muddy puddle on the ground, but remained silent.

"Damn? Crazy!" Mu Qiaoqiao, who witnessed the whole process, couldn't help cursing, "What kind of quality are the children in this village?" She stepped forward and patted the little girl's shoulder lightly, saying a few words of comfort Afterwards, he did not forget the important point he heard just now, "Little sister, the Lou Tianxiang he mentioned just now..."

The little girl supported the brim of her hat, looked up at her, and then suddenly turned her head to look at Xia Qianlan and Le Yushan.That fair and delicate face made Xia Qianlan feel a little familiar, but before she could see clearly, the little girl had already run away.

Mu Qiaoqiao paused in embarrassment.

"Let's go and have a look."

Xia Qianlan vaguely felt that the little girl looked familiar, but naturally it was impossible to find someone to match her number in the vast sea of ​​memory, and it was more likely to be an illusion from the dungeon.Such a big thing happened yesterday, and I didn't see any adults at the entrance of the village today. I guess I was busy and needed to look around.

The two groups naturally split into two groups. After Zhao Yu was rescued after yesterday's quarrel, even if he had any opinions on Xia Qianlang, he didn't dare to show it clearly, and followed her obediently.

Monday was a cloudy day, with heavy dark clouds suggesting a not-so-small storm ahead.After the first class, there was a 10-minute long break. Because the strong wind broke the flagpole on the playground, the teachers were rushing to repair it. There was no time to organize the students to do exercises. In the noisy voice, a girl Bored and yawning on the table, he was woken up by knocking on the table.

The person who called her was the boy carrying the red schoolbag before. His name was Sun Jiang. He was tall and tall at a young age, almost approaching the height of the female teacher. He was an out-and-out little bully, so It made the female teacher a little jealous.

"Nanye." He called out the girl's name and looked down at that face, "The head teacher asked me to call you."

"Huh?" The girl named Nanye is pretty and cute, but perhaps because of malnutrition, her figure is a bit too thin. The wrists under the empty sleeves are slender and white, not at all like the delicate ones raised in the mountain village.

Sun Jiang heard from the adults that some funeral directors who deal with An Ning's funeral came over, and they probably brought Nanye. She came and said that she would study with everyone for a few days. The teacher didn't care if there was more or less. up.This provided a convenient opportunity for certain things, General Sun thought while staring at her pretty little face.

Nan Ye couldn't figure out the way, and Sun Jiang led her all the way, but the little girl was really foolish as she walked more and more remote with him.

The golden-red straw could not be seen clearly in the dark sky, and the stubble that had not been trimmed neatly was still a bit harsh to the hand. General Sun touched it casually, blood oozed from his fingertips, and he gently licked it off .The boy who was walking in front stopped suddenly, and Nan Ye, who was following behind, had no time to stop and bumped into his straight back.

"Why don't you go?"

Nanye's voice was soft and soft, like the melodious cry of a lark.But such frailty did not arouse Sun Jiang's feelings of pity and pity. He picked up a gray and black tile on the ground, and approached the girl step by step under Nanye's puzzled gaze.The wind before the rain was about to blow up General Sun's clothes. From Nan Ye's perspective, he could only raise his head to look up at him. Gradually, the girl was forced to lean on the thorny straw, Completely cornered.

Like a rabbit driven into a desperate situation, the hunter is ready to go, thinking about how to enjoy this delicacy after easily capturing it.Sun Jiang's eyes perfectly interpreted greed, and he slowly moved closer to the weak and helpless girl. After noticing Nan Ye's trembling, some kind of malicious emotion fermented to the extreme, and whispered one word at a time in her ear:

"Do you want to know what happened the day Mrs. Lou came to teach us for the first time?—you will soon find out."

The strong arm confined her within a small area, but at the moment when that dirty hand was about to touch the girl's chest, Sun Jiang suddenly discovered that her "trembling" was actually a smile.

Before the torrential rain was about to sweep across, a flash of lightning illuminated the entire small mountain village as bright as day.In the flash of bright colors, General Sun finally saw Nan Ye's beautiful little face raised up clearly.She has a pair of clear and bright eyes, and she smiles like a bright crescent moon in the night sky, and the dimples on her fair cheeks seem to be filled with honey.The glass glaze-like pale pink lips opened and closed, and Nan Ye's voice was still as soft and sweet as before:

"Want to know what it's like to have two little cockroaches crushed to death?—you'll soon find out."

**

It was pouring rain in the mountains, and the two of them had no umbrellas, so they had to temporarily take refuge in a widow's house.The torrential rain did not wash away the thick mountain fog, on the contrary, it made the fog more grainy, and large areas of gray halo scattered outside, blurring the vision.

The enthusiastic widow became more active after knowing that the two were funeral directors who came to work. Recently, the village has sometimes been unstable. Her family is one of the main victims. The yard is full of chickens and dogs, and several people who can only lay eggs died inexplicably. The old hen is also a stable source of livelihood for the widow.Therefore, when everyone else made excuses, the widow was the only one who received them, and even warmly made green tea.

"Tianxiang?" When the widow heard the name, a look of sadness flashed across her eyes, and she said clearly, "You said Mrs. Lou, Mrs. Lou died of illness a few months ago, she used to be a teacher who came to the mountains to teach, By the way, I got married here, but my husband was not in good health, so he followed her not long after she left."

"An Ning... An Ning doesn't know Teacher Lou. An Ning is four years younger than Teacher Lou and married. She is not at the age of school. How could she know Teacher Lou? But it's not necessarily true. I don't know them too well. , I usually take care of the children at home, so how can I find the time to visit relatives and friends?"

The widow has clean eyebrows and looks like she is only in her early 30s. There is a child in the family who is only three years old. When they are talking, they are arranged to sleep in another room.The roughness of farm work has eroded those bony smooth, slender hands, and left some marks on her face. It is not difficult to see that she should have been a beauty in her prime a few years ago.While speaking, the widow just lowered her head, her slender and thick eyelashes flickering in the mist of the fragrance of tea.

If you ignore the slight trembling, based on her simple words, it seems that she is really not familiar with them.

Xia Qianlan didn't respond immediately, but tapped lightly on the edge of the half-worn tea bowl that had been wiped clean.People in the mountains are not that particular. Generally speaking, they don't know how to drink tea. This tea bowl seems to have been taken out after being put away for a long time. When it was just brought to Xia Qianlan, it was still stained with water droplets. It looked like it had just been cleaned. Pass.

When the widow was helping to pour the tea, she took the initiative to take off the lid of the cup and held it in her hand. At this time, she passed the lid under her nose inadvertently, and a very faint smell of incense stimulated her already sensitive sense of smell.But the widow didn't notice Xia Qianlan's little action. After a moment's pause, she remembered something, so she continued to tell them:

"However, An Ning's husband, Sun Bin, really loves her. The villa you live in now is the wedding room he built for An Ning. The big tile-roofed villa, the village chief's family can't bear such a dowry. When An Ning is over, Afterwards, he will marry An Ning again... Hey, this is really the first time I have seen such an infatuated species, it's kind of creepy."

Xia Qianlan took a sip of the green tea. Although the aroma wasn't too strong, the tea maker's technique was quite good, fully bringing out the freshness of the mountain tea leaves.She seemed to be listening, but also seemed to be a little distracted. After sipping half a cup of green tea, she smiled and looked at Zhao Yu who didn't know why:

"Try it, the tea tastes pretty good."

"I heard that some people in the mountains don't use wine when offering sacrifices, so they use fresh big-leaf tea grown in the back mountains before the Qingming Festival. Only fresh tea can calm the yin energy." Xia Qianlan said unhurriedly Wiping the edge of the tea bowl with the cup lid, amidst the crisp sound of porcelain colliding, she raised her eyes slightly, and she really saw the woman on the opposite side change her expression slightly.

"I also heard that some green tea can be used to calm grievances after being exposed to the sun, but since Mr. Sun has thought of a way to appease her, I think it should be unnecessary."

Green tea suppresses yin qi, this is something I made up, an overhead world~
