Real Cthulhu Running Game

  Chapter 2072 Villager

   "The situation is not bad. Although we also found some debris, the amount is not too much. It should have been cleaned up now."

Yu Lei brought a cup of hot tea to Liu Xing, and said with a smile: "This is a good tea brought by Miss Wan'er. I may not be able to drink such good tea in the palace, because this is the new dragon emperor's imperial concubine." Give tea."

  Liu Xing quickly took the teacup with both hands, and said with a smile: "So it's the tea leaves bestowed by His Majesty, so I have to taste them carefully, after all, I used to drink some broken tea leaves."

   After only taking a sip, Liu Xing felt that the tea was really good, because it could give him a very powerful buff—concentration.

   Simply put, this buff can increase Liu Xing's success rate by five percentage points no matter what he does today!

  There is something about this royal gift tea.

   It's a pity that this cup of tea can only be effective for one person, so Liu Xing wants to take it back and give Yin En and others a sip, so that everyone's work efficiency will be greatly improved today.

  Looking at Liu Xing with a happy face, Yu Lei raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that you like drinking tea, Apeng, so I'll help you get some tea and take it back to drink slowly."

   "Why is this so embarrassing?"

   Liu Xing began to be courteous, "This is His Majesty's royal bestowed tea, I am honored to drink such a cup, let alone bring some back."

   "Oh, forget it then."

Yu Lei looked at Liu Xing who was in a daze, and smiled even more happily, "Hahaha, A Peng, don't think too much, this imperial gift tea is not a rare thing, because your majesty doesn't like drinking tea very much, but every year They will send some famous teas, so His Majesty likes to give these teas to ministers and generals, so like Liang Waner’s father, Liang Hongwu, he can get dozens of catties of tea every year! After all, didn’t I say it before, Liang Hongwu will be there every now and then. Going to report to His Majesty, I can take some tea with me every time I leave, and Liang Hongwu, as a general, naturally prefers to drink rather than tea."

   "Well, it turns out that's the case. It seems that Miss Wan'er brought a lot of tea this time, right?" Liu Xing said with bright eyes.

   "That's right, Miss Wan'er brought more than a hundred catties of tea this time, and put it in a sandalwood box about the size of a rice jar."

After Yu Lei looked around, he said to Liu Xing in a low voice: "This box is now in a small warehouse next to the kitchen, and everyone can take it at any time, so I will pack a bottle for you later." Go back, but don't take these tea leaves out, because this is more or less against the rules."

   "No problem, I'm not the kind of person who likes to show off."

  Liu Xing thought for a while, and continued: "By the way, do you know the origin of this magical beast that can only discharge electricity? I think it is so powerful. If it has appeared before, it should have left a name?"

Hearing Liu Xing's question, Yu Lei's expression became serious, "Although we still don't know the name of this monster, Miss Wan'er has read a story in a novel, and the mysterious The power is very likely to be this monster! First of all, this novel was published ten years ago, and the content is about unsolved mysteries that happened in various places. One of the stories happened in a village near Liangcheng, but this story has been going on for hundreds of years It belongs to the kind of folklore that can no longer be verified as true or false."

"In short, the content of this story is that there was a wealthy businessman in Liangcheng back then. After making a fortune, he decided to do some good deeds to accumulate virtue and deeds. In the end, he took a fancy to a village at the foot of a mountain and planned to build a building for this village. Bridge, because the river near this village is relatively turbulent, so if you want to bring things into and out of the village, or if the elderly and children want to cross the river, it is very dangerous, so they can only walk a few miles, from a relatively stable water flow It will waste a lot of time and energy.”

"After the discussion, the rich businessman asked someone to send stone materials, and a stone bridge was quickly repaired. Both parties were very happy about this, so the rich businessman waved his hand and prepared to renovate the village. The house was pushed to be rebuilt, and the village was planning to build a ancestral hall for the rich businessman; so after more than half a year, the rich businessman took his family to the village, ready to accept the villagers' kindness, but the rich businessman's family did not Be home at the appointed time."

"After a long time like this, the housekeeper of the rich businessman was worried, so he took a group of people to the village to find out, and then found that the whole village was quiet. People, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. were all on the ground, and they were all dead. No breath; A Peng, you should also know that in almost every village there will be a fool who grew up eating a lot of food, which is what we commonly call the village guards. Although the village guards are usually crazy, but sometimes they are crazy. It can turn the tide and save the village from fire and water."

"For example, in the village where my family is located, there is a village guard named Ermao. I don't know who his parents are, because he was found at the entrance of our village one morning. Although he was five or six years old at the time, he Because of brain problems, he has no language organization ability at all, and you don’t know what he is talking about when he speaks; my village is relatively rich, so we adopted this Ermao to eat hundreds of meals. And one night a few years ago, because of the heavy rain, the people in the village went home early to rest."

"As a result, in the middle of the night, that ermao knocked on people's doors from door to door, and after waking them up, he said that Houshan was approaching us! This was the first time he made it clear, so everyone couldn't help but look at him. At the back of the mountain, it turned out that the trees on the back mountain were falling to the ground and rushing down the mountain! If Ermao hadn't reminded everyone to leave the village early, there might be several households buried in the soil in their sleep ! Anyway, after this incident, I have to call Brother Ermao when I go back to my hometown.”

"The same is true for the village in that story. Only one village guard survived to the end, because he hid under the bridge at the entrance of the village and trembled! Fortunately, although the village guard is not very smart, at least he can speak clearly. So he mentioned what happened yesterday that caused so many people to fall to the ground; it was because the village guard was not able to use his mind, so the village chief was afraid that he would say something wrong on such a good day, so he asked There is a reason for him to guard the entrance of the village to see if there are any other distinguished guests coming."

"In the end, the village guard thought about it for himself, and felt that it was not polite to wait at the entrance of the village. After all, he also heard that other people would go out of the city to welcome distinguished guests, and the distinguished guests had to go outside the city. Shiliting to welcome you! So he ran a long way outside the village, and after he was tired, he found a random stone and sat down; as a result, he also heard a thunderbolt from the blue sky, so he looked over and found that there was a dark cloud in the sky. Move in the direction of the village! The village guard felt that the thunderbolt from the blue sky was a bit unlucky, so he hurried back to the village and told the incident loudly in the shrine."

"If it was a normal person, I don't think everyone would say anything at that time, but this sentence came from a village guard, and it was said at a very festive time in a yelling way. , the village head and other villagers would feel that they couldn't hold back their faces, so the village guard was kicked out without any surprise, and he could only go to hide under the bridge, because the newly repaired stone bridge was under his control. It seems to be the safest place... As you can imagine, the bolt from the blue really came to the village."

"Then, the village guard hiding under the bridge heard a lot of voices in the village, as if someone ran out to see the dark cloud, and after a few minutes, all the voices in the village stopped! This also frightened the villagers, so they hid under the bridge and did not dare to come out; but in this story, many people who knew about it believed that the thunderbolt from the blue sky was just a cover, and the villagers and the wealthy businessman's family all He was murdered by someone! Or this mysterious person came for the wealthy businessman's family."

"This rich businessman was quite rich back then, and his business is still developing for the better, so it is reasonable for someone to want to take advantage of him to go to a remote village, and the person who finally inherits the property of this rich businessman, It is the younger brother that the rich businessman usually looks down on the most, so he was not brought along to celebrate the completion of the ancestral temple this time, and this younger brother also mentioned that he thought the rich businessman was wasting money by doing these good deeds when he was gathering with his friends. Many people regarded him as the culprit."

   Having said so much, Yu Lei's throat was a little dry, and Liu Xing handed the teacup to Yu Lei with a wink.

Because they are all brothers, Yu Lei did not dislike Liu Xing for drinking this cup of tea, and continued after taking a sip: "Because no one else saw or heard of the sunny day except the villager." Thunderbolt, so no one would think that it was the thunderbolt from the blue sky that brought everyone in the village down, so we were discussing other possibilities; but we have seen it with our own eyes now, so we can be sure that this bird Warcraft appeared nearly a hundred years ago, and this may overturn many of our previous conclusions, because the first sighting report of Warcraft today, I remember it was fifty years ago, right?"

"Fifty years ago, when the Zhuzi Academy began to expel some people? Anyway, in my memory, most people think that Warcraft is the monster created by the expelled Zhuzi Baijia, but looking at it now It may not be the case in the future, perhaps these monsters have already appeared, but people did not realize their existence."

Liu Xing thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Take this thunderbolt as an example, it should be floating in mid-air all year round, and if you get close to it, it is easy to get tricked, so no one has seen it before. To be able to tell its existence is to leave some plausible folklore at most! But one thing to say, if we see this monster for the first time, it is really difficult to prevent its ability, after all, these debris It's really too small, so it's hard to notice its existence if you don't take it seriously, and it's even more impossible to think that such a small debris can make people unable to breathe."

   "Yeah, so we still have to be careful about all the unknown objects around us, as well as those things that look very abnormal..."

  When Yu Lei wanted to say something more, he seemed to realize something, so he froze in place, and Liu Xing suddenly thought of something when he saw him like this!

   That is, if the thunderbolt from the blue sky has been going straight, then he is likely to come from the direction of Heshan County!

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing and Yu Lei exchanged glances, and the two quickly reached a consensus.

   "Brother Yu, I have to go to Heshan County now, so if you are free, can you go with me?"

As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Yu Lei nodded and said: "Then you wait for me at the door for a while, and I will bring two horses over here, and we will go to Heshan County right now! Although there are not many people living there now , but if something really happens, I suspect that other princes may take the opportunity to make things difficult for the third prince, after all, this is not a good thing!"

Liu Xing nodded approvingly, because he also knew that the ancients were still very fond of some so-called "omens", so if something really happened, then the other princes would probably be surprised when they knew about it. Taking advantage of the topic, accusing the third prince of his lack of virtue for causing such a bizarre thing to happen, so they can launch a crusade against the third prince in an open and honest manner!

   You must know that no matter ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, the initiator of the war will come up with a suitable name for himself to prove that he is a dignified teacher, and it is reasonable and just to crusade against the enemy, so that he can get the support of most people! So even if a bottle of washing powder is regarded as a huge threat, such an outrageous operation must be done.

  Of course, this is the same as the treacherous minister Qin Hui back then, he would rather charge Yue Fei with "unnecessary" charges than dare to do anything to Yue Fei for no reason.

You must know that Qin Hui is not some idiot. He must know that the crime of "unnecessary" will make him infamous for thousands of years, but he also knows that if he doesn't even write a reason, his reputation will not only be infamous for thousands of years, but also have to be added. various articles.

Therefore, the reason why the princes have not formally raised their troops at this time is that apart from preparing supplies such as food and grass and gathering soldiers and horses from all over the country for some simple training arrangements, there is also a very important reason that they have not found a suitable reason to attack other princes. Do it! It's impossible to just fight in front of the new Dragon Emperor under the banner of King Qin, right?

  If someone else directly lets you go to Qin Wang, the situation will be a bit embarrassing.
