Absurd deduction game

Yu Xing sat in the grass. He was originally squatting, but after a while he found that squatting was too tiring.

He was very patient and could see everything at the door of Lao Zhang's house through the leaves.

Lao Zhang went out to hunt, and Lao Zhang's wife also wanted to do farm work in a field not far away. After greeting Mai Mai and asking her to stay at home, the woman went out.

It was around twelve o'clock in the afternoon - time in this world flows at an odd speed, and Yu Xing could only judge the approximate time based on the position of the sun - Mai Mai walked out of the house, stuck his head out and looked outside.

Normally, her mother, who is out doing farm work, should have arrived home to make lunch for her, but for some reason today, her mother hasn't come back yet.

Mai Mai's mood was still affected by the argument in the morning. She pouted sadly and planned to go back to the house and continue waiting.

Suddenly, a similarly small figure ran up not far away. It was a fat man of twelve or thirteen years old. The fat man smiled and said hello to her: "Maimai!"

Mai Mai looked over strangely and recognized it. This was Li Bao, the son of Li Fugui's family.

Although there are only a few children in this village, she doesn't like to play with this person, so there is no interaction with him.

What did Li Bao ask her to do?

"What are you doing?" She looked at Li Bao running closer and closer, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Mai Mai stepped back and had already retreated behind the door of the house. As long as the door was closed, Li Bao would not be able to touch her.

Li Bao obviously knew that, so he slowed down and stammered: "Maimai, I'm here to apologize. My father came home and told what happened in the morning, and was scolded by my mother. My mother said, You have to be polite when taking other people's things, my dad has no conscience."

Mai Mai stepped back and looked at Li Bao again.

She still felt aggrieved when she thought about it. If Li Bao's mother had spoken for her, it would not be unforgivable. After all, the little girl was still naive: "Really?"

"Really! My mother also said that she was afraid that my father would scare you, so she asked me to apologize for my father. Regardless of whether you forgive my father or not, I will give this to you." Li Bao said, stretching out his hand Mai Mai's eyes couldn't help but glance at his hands, which held an origami butterfly.

small butterfly!

Mai Mai's eyes lit up, and he took a few steps out hesitantly: "I, I don't want to blame your dad, but your dad wants to apologize to my parents! ...When my parents come back!"

"Yeah, I'll tell my dad when I get back!" Li Bao saw that Mai Mai didn't seem to be angry anymore, and waved the paper butterfly towards Mai Mai, "This is for you."

Mai Mai hesitated again. Li Bao was two years older than her and taller. He was covered in flesh and looked a bit oppressive.

However, the other person is just a child and should not be a bad person.

"Okay." She pursed her lips and said reservedly, then walked towards Li Bao and took the small paper butterfly.

However, the next moment, Li Bao suddenly grabbed her wrist.

The paper butterfly fell to the ground and was stepped on by Li Bao who stepped forward.

Mai Mai panicked and shouted, "What are you doing!"

She sensed something was wrong and tried her best to break away, but Li Bao also used all his strength to hold her tightly, preventing her from leaving.

Li Bao turned around and shouted: "Dad! Mom! Got it!"

Several adults ran out from the surrounding hidden places. Li Fugui smiled ferociously and pulled Mai Mai from Li Bao's hand: "The little boy is quite vigilant. He finally got tricked. Are you afraid? Um?"

In addition to Li Fugui, several people who made trouble in the morning were there, as well as Li Fugui's wife, who stared at Mai Mai with good intentions.

Mai Mai had never seen such a battle before and was so frightened that she cried. She cried for her parents. During the struggle, she lowered her head and bit Li Fugui's hand hard, drawing blood.

"You little bastard!" Li Bao saw his father being bitten. Without saying anything, he slapped Mai Mai on the face like his scholar father was beating someone.

Li Fugui's wife looked at this scene and was not shocked by her son's actions. Instead, she touched Li Bao's head and said, "Good son, I know how to help your father."

In addition to Li Bao, everyone else was also scolding, and all kinds of words that should not be said to the little girl were one after another, which was unpleasant to listen to.

Mai Mai cried even harder. She really wanted her father to come back, and she really wanted Brother Yu to come back. These people never dared to bully her when Brother Yu was around.

Yu Xing picked up the blades of grass with one hand and watched the scene expressionlessly, his fingers subconsciously moving.

He heard Maimai's cry for help and felt Maimai's blind trust in him.

But he chose to stay where he was and told himself:

This is just a reappearance of the past... Even if he saves people now, it will not change what has happened. What he needs more now is to follow these villagers to see the truth of what happened.

It was reasonable, but Yu Xing's palms had been dug into the flesh by his own nails, leaving drops of fresh blood.

Li Fugui and his group made quite a noise in front of Lao Zhang's house, and every household in the small village could hear it.

They went out one by one, pointing and commenting on Mai Mai's rising and dying hopes.

"Li Fugui is going to send her to the next village now?"

"Old Zhang knows that he still doesn't want to fight Li Fugui."

"Lao Zhang? He's already late when he comes back. Besides, so many people kidnapped Mai Mai. He, Lao Zhang, wants to go all out. How can he still settle accounts one by one?"

"Why didn't Lao Zhang's wife come back?"

"My mother-in-law is responsible for holding Lao Zhang's wife in the fields. She will definitely not come back."

"I heard that the village next door has the habit of cannibalism."

"But the material conditions are good. Li Fugui has gone to the next village to negotiate many times. I heard that as long as the goddess is satisfied with the person who sent it, she will give our village meat every month."

"Actually, Lao Zhang has given my family a lot of meat. I can't bear to see Maimy's kid like this..."

"Don't look at it if you can't help but give it to your family? Huh, he didn't give it to my family! Our whole village can eat meat. Isn't it better than his old Zhang family who is the only one in the family? Everyone wants to see how good his face is?"

This is really heartbreaking.

Lao Zhang is a simple and kind-hearted person. He will only look down upon others when they are making trouble for no reason. Whether this kind of character is good or not, it is too easy to be bullied, and everything he pays becomes taken for granted.

Yu Xing heard roughly that every one of these villagers knew about what happened today, and many of them were even directly involved!

Therefore, the kindest and most capable Lao Zhang family, after showing kindness, was robbed of their children by everyone in the village without telling them.

Mai Mai's voice became hoarse from crying, and he was forced to go outside the village by Li Fugui and his party.

Almost only a minute or two later, Lao Zhang's wife hurriedly ran back. When she saw the open door and the villagers who had not had time to return to the house, she was stunned for a moment, and then a touch of fear came to her mind.

She rushed into the house and looked for it, but there was nothing there. She walked around the village for a while, shouting hysterically at others: "Where's my daughter!"

No one answered her, and everyone's evasive attitude made Lao Zhang's wife realize something. She left a series of broken wails and rushed into the woods leading to the village of the goddess.

Yu Xing's eyes gradually grew colder.

Betrayal and greed, he already knew what was going on.

Obviously, even if Li Fugui sent wheat and wheat, the goddess did not mean to "divide the meat" to them. Instead, she talked with Yu Xing about this small village with ridicule, as if she was telling a joke.

He stood up slowly, adjusted to the anemic dizziness that he had never experienced in his memory, ignored the pain in his palms, and began to chase Li Fugui and the others.

He was not afraid of losing him, because the ragtag crowd was definitely not as fast as him.

"Human nature, how ugly can it be?" When Yu Xing left, only a cold mockery and a few drops of uncoagulated red blood were left behind.

What happened after that was not as expected by Yu Xing. He caught up with Li Fugui and the others in the forest, even a little faster than Lao Zhang's wife, and continued to sneak in and follow them in the forest.

Therefore, he also watched the tragedy that happened when Lao Zhang's wife found them in anger.

When Mai Mai saw her mother, she frantically asked for help. Lao Zhang's wife was also crazy. She had probably never been as angry as she was today because a fellow villager who had lived together for so many years actually wanted to send her child to die.

Naturally, she lost her mind and just wanted to get her child back, so she started fighting with these people.

She is just a woman. Although she usually has more strength to do farm work, she is still a woman.

As for Li Fugui and the others, if something has been done, it must be successful, otherwise, when Lao Zhang comes back from hunting, coupled with the outsider who has always had a bad temper, it might really kill them.

They felt that they had no way out, so a few men... beat Lao Zhang's wife to death.

Mai Mai's cry changed from "Mom, save me" to "Mom, run," but it was too late.

She watched with her own eyes as her mother, who usually doted on her, was beaten to the ground by a group of people, and then she looked at her with her eyes open for one minute... two minutes... forever.

Yu Xing blinked, feeling the violence in his heart surge wildly, and his chest felt very uncomfortable. It was a feeling of sourness and anger.

"I must have never let these bastards survive before."

Mai Mai's desperate expression appeared in his mind over and over again, and his memory barrier became loose again.

…

Old Zhang's face flashed before his eyes. In this new memory, he seemed to be running towards Old Zhang's house from a distance, and he had just arrived nearby. I saw Lao Zhang with a ferocious look on his face, holding up an ax and slashing at Li Fugui, but another man hit him with a stick from behind.

Lao Zhang fell down with his eyes open, and sticks came from all directions. Many men in the village hit him hard with expressions of fear and pleasure. Soon, he could not get up again.

In Yu Xing's memory, he stopped and stood there, wondering what he was thinking. He seemed to be digesting the fact that Lao Zhang, who had taken him in for half a year, died like this.

A few seconds later——

Blood rain fell from the sky.

The viscous liquid, with its fishy sweetness, poured into the soil and dyed the small village red.

Everyone who was immersed in the joy of success turned into panic at that moment and looked to the sky. After a while, they looked at Yu Xing who was walking forward step by step.

He stepped forward and picked up Lao Zhang's usual axe, and cut the men holding the sticks in half.

Blackness filled the sky from his body, and the cold breath of death filled the air with the power of devouring everything. Yu Xing dragged his body in his prime and shuttled through every room, making these people suffer at the moment before death. He was tortured in fear and died on the edge of an axe.

In less than thirty seconds, this small village turned into a small hell on earth. At that time, Yu Xing looked at this scene and slowly showed a sick smile.

It's just right, isn't it? These people only deserve to howl in hell.

…

Yu Xing fell into a trance, and it took him a long time to get out of his memory.

He shook his head, trying to get rid of the negative emotions filling his chest.

"In the past, I didn't realize that Mai Mai and Lao Zhang's wife were killed when I was hunting, and I failed to save Lao Zhang who was outnumbered at the end of the hunt... Even if I let the whole village be buried with them, what's the use, what a waste. "After scolding himself, he raised his eyes.

"Um?"

The scenery in front of him was different from before. There was no body of Lao Zhang's wife on the ground, and there were no footprints of others walking by. Instead, it was a scenery that Yu Xing was very familiar with, the scenery of the mountains and forests between the village where the goddess lived and the lake.

During the time he was in a trance, his position actually changed quietly.

"Wait a minute, did I jump to the timeline again?" Before, he would jump after a nap, but now, he just stood there in a daze for a while.

Is it because he remembered part of the incident, so he continued to jump without going through it again... Yu Xing thought this, and looked down at himself.

The bandages on his body had completely disappeared at some point, and the skin under his clothes was as smooth as ever, as if the horrific injury had never existed.

"I'm back, Shi Wei, don't wait!" the goddess's voice sounded from behind him. Yu Xing looked back and saw that the goddess, who had changed into another dress, was walking towards him holding a bowl.

In fact, Yu Xing has already figured out how these timelines appear.

The timelines of the two villages, the small village where the old Zhang family is located, are messed up, and they are completely based on the history that happened. Even if he makes different choices, nothing will be changed next time he goes to another timeline. .

For example, in reality, he did not lose his memory after escaping from the experimental base. In the fiction, he did not tell Lao Zhang’s family his name because of his amnesia. However, after jumping to a different time in the small village, Lao Zhang’s family still knew his real name. , this should be what he personally told Lao Zhang’s family in reality.

As for the big village where the goddess is located, the timeline is forward, and all the plots have changed due to the choices he makes now.

In reality, Yu Xing had always lived in a small village. When he found out that Lao Zhang was dead, he massacred the village and then went to the big village to find Mai Mai.

But now, he entered the big village without knowing anything, and was persuaded by the goddess to stay. Every time change is based on the latter.

For example, the goddess holding the bowl right now.

"Shi Wei, you promised me, drink this bowl of blood, become a disciple of the priest, and be with me forever." She put the bowl into Yu Xing's hand, and Yu Xing looked at it, only to see a whole opaque bowl of thick blood, and the reflection of his obviously unhappy face in the blood.
