Survival game: My plug-ins can be superimposed

Zhou Dafu subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when he met Zhao Xun's eyes, he suddenly felt that his shoulder wound hurt even more.

He chose to tell the truth: "That...that is a rule passed down from our ancestors in our village. There is a water tank at the door and it is filled with water every day. If the tank is smashed, there will be disaster."

"What trouble?" Zhao Xun asked.

"This...I don't know about this," Zhou Dafu quickly looked at his father for help, "I only know that the rules are like this, and no one has ever dared to violate it."

For the safety of his son, Grandpa Zhou immediately spoke: "These rules are handed down from our ancestors. No one has ever violated them. We really don't know what the consequences of violating them will be!"

Zhao Xun looked directly into Grandpa Zhou's eyes and activated hypnosis: "Really?"

After Grandpa Zhou was stunned for a brief second, he changed his words: "No, this is a habit that was only developed more than 20 years ago. It is not a rule handed down from our ancestors."

The expressions of Zhou Dafu and Zhou Dagui changed simultaneously.

They looked at Grandpa Zhou Zhou. Although they didn't speak, their eyes conveyed one meaning - why did Dad tell the truth?

Although they were confused, they did not dare to stop him, for fear that one of their actions would make Zhao Xun unhappy and they would be stabbed again.

After all, Zhao Xun really took action.

Zhao Xun was not angry because of the three people's previous concealment. He then asked: "What happened more than 20 years ago that made you develop such a habit?"

Grandpa Zhou seemed to be caught in some kind of memory. He was silent for several seconds before slowly speaking: "One day more than twenty years ago, the young women in the village suddenly fled en masse."

After hearing this, Zhou Dafu and Zhou Dagui looked unhappy.

They are all in their thirties now. Twenty years ago, they were already about ten years old, so they naturally have an impression of what happened at that time.

When I heard Grandpa Zhou mention that incident, I couldn't help but recall the disaster at that time.

Even if they have grown up, even if more than twenty years have passed, when they look back, they can still feel the fear at that time.

At this moment, they were all silent.

Grandpa Zhou continued: "Before they escaped, they set a fire and wanted to burn everyone in the village. There was a wedding in the village that day, and many people gathered in a house to drink. They were too drunk to react, and most of them were burned. died."

He sighed deeply: "After that, every household developed the habit of preparing a full tank of water at the door of their house every day, just in case a similar disaster happens again."

"All those young women ran away?" Zhao Xun asked.

"Of course not." Grandpa Zhou sneered, with a hint of hatred in his tone, "In a small mountain village like ours, there are no acquaintances to lead the way. Only if they can run out will there be ghosts!"

"Were all captured?" Zhao Xun asked again.

"Yes, everyone who is still alive has been captured!" Grandpa Zhou said in a tone of voice that was full of anger. "These stinky women thought they could run out, but when they ran to the mountains, at least half of them were killed by wild beasts. have eaten."

Zhou Dafu and Zhou Dagui both glanced at Zhao Xun's expression subconsciously.

Although in their minds, Zhao Xun should be from the same village as them, and they should share the same hatred and hatred with them on this matter, but after what they had just experienced, they were always worried that Grandpa Zhou's words would arouse Zhao Xun's disgust and anger. .

Zhao Xun did not have any emotional fluctuations, but continued to ask: "Are these young women bought from your village?"

"Yes." Grandpa Zhou nodded.

"How many women were captured? Are there any alive?" Zhao Xun asked again.

"They are all dead." Grandpa Zhou sneered, "Only four were captured. Everyone in the village hated them, and they were all tortured to death. The longest one only lived ten years."

As if he still felt angry after thinking about it, he cursed several times: "We spent money to buy them, but they were restless and dared to run away! They even set fire to the village! Of course they won't get anything good to eat!"

Zhao Xun automatically ignored Grandpa Zhou's complaints and fell into deep thought.

Judging from this story, the main function of the water tank is to extinguish the fire in case of fire.

He has [water power], so he doesn't have a water tank at the door and doesn't have to worry about fire.

In this whole story, the only supernatural events that can be related to are the villagers who were burned to death and the four women who were captured and tortured to death.

But no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with him smashing the water tank.

unless……

"Did my house suffer any damage during the fire?" Zhao Xun asked Grandpa Zhou, "Did someone die in this house?"

"No." Grandpa Zhou shook his head, "The houses that were burned were all abandoned ones deep in the village."

"Then those four women you captured died in my house?" Zhao Xun asked again.

Grandpa Zhou tried his best to recall: "There seems to be one."

At the end, he explained: "This house was abandoned a long time ago, and no one lived in it before I came here. It is also close to other occupied houses, making it easy to come and go, so when we are alone, we often choose this kind of house." room."

Zhao Xun nodded clearly.

He basically knew what the consequences of triggering the second rule would be.

So he pointed at Zhou Dafu and Zhou Dagui and changed the subject: "Did they also buy their wives?"

"Dafu's wife was bought, and Dagui's wife was exchanged from the next village." Grandpa Zhou explained.

"Change?" Zhao Xun raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The village next door is also very poor." Grandpa Zhou paused before continuing, "Our custom here is that when two families happen to have daughters from outside, they can exchange them with each other if they cannot afford a daughter-in-law from outside."

"So, you originally had a daughter in your family, but in order to help Zhou Dagui get a wife, you exchanged daughters with a family in the next village who also had a daughter?" Zhao Xun concluded.

"Yes, that's it." Grandpa Zhou nodded repeatedly.

Zhou Dagui looked a little embarrassed: "Dad, why do you keep saying everything to others?"

It was something they were accustomed to, but for some reason, they always felt a little awkward when facing Zhao Xun.

He subconsciously felt that he shouldn't say it.

Zhao Xun had seen similar tangled expressions on Zhou Dagui's face several times, and he could probably guess what Zhou Dagui was struggling with.

After thinking for a while, he asked: "In your impression, am I from the same village?"

When Zhou Dagui and Zhou Dafu were still hesitating about how to answer, Grandpa Zhou, who was still in a hypnotic state, had already spoken: "You moved here half a year ago. Although you are a foreigner with a different surname, you have lived here for such a long time, and the people in the village don't reject you very much. is you."

Zhao Xun nodded.

No wonder that when that little brat came to trouble him before, he said something like that. It sounded like he had lived here for a long time, and the other party knew very well that he was poor and lonely.

But looking at the attitude of these villagers towards him, there is obvious xenophobic behavior.

He asked about the village. Although the three people answered, they seemed to think that there were some things he should have known.
