Real Cthulhu Running Game

 Chapter 2193 Ferret and Deserted Village

"Time to eat."

Yang De picked up the hatchet and started to chop the bamboo tube, while Liu Xing started to change the dressing for himself. Because he was quite busy today, he never had time to change the dressing for his knee injury.

But to be honest, Liu Xing felt that the bruise medicine Yu Lei left for him was pretty good. At least he could feel that his injury was better. As long as he didn't get "unlucky" again, he should be able to recover faster, right?

Just when Liu Xing was thinking this, Shi Zixuan, who was going to help him get the rice, suddenly slipped and the bamboo rice in his hand took off!

Since then, Liu Xing saw the bamboo tube rice flying straight towards his injured knee!

You don’t play like this, do you? !

Liu Xing subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but the bamboo tube in mid-air suddenly turned sideways and was still heading towards his knees.

This one also comes with location tracking, right?

Just when Liu Xing was about to close his eyes and accept the reality, a dark figure jumped up from the side and directly grabbed the bamboo tube rice, but it was quickly burned by the still warm bamboo tube and let go.

 Mink?

 It’s still a ferret!

Liu Xing took a closer look and found that the one who helped him out was actually a white ferret. It seemed to be quite intelligent, because when it realized that it was being stared at by everyone around it, it turned over. Lying on the ground and starting to act cute.

 “Ferrets? Do we have ferrets here?”

Xu Bin frowned and said: "Logically speaking, we only have sables here, right? Because the color of sable's fur is considered a protective color here, but the white color of ferrets is too conspicuous here, and it can easily become prey for other people." The target of the hunter! Not to mention that this ferret is so cute, it looks like it should be a pet ferret, right?"

"Yes, except for the snowy environment, there are basically no white animals in other places, unless it has albinism, and it is difficult for an albino individual to survive in this environment, unless someone is willing to adopt these albinos. animal."

When Liu Xing said this, he thought of the imprisoned thin dog. Does it have the same owner as the ferret?

At this time, Xu Bin, who was wearing gloves, also stepped forward and tried to touch the ferret to determine whether it was a pet ferret.

As a result, the ferret accepted Xu Bin's touch very cooperatively and actively showed kindness to Xu Bin. It looked like a dog.

Yes, this ferret really looks like a dog, which makes Liu Xing feel a little strange, because Liu Xing was an intern in the hospital before joining the Cthulhu Run Team Game Hall. , I felt that living alone was a bit boring, so I thought about getting a pet to accompany me, but I also felt that cats and dogs were too ordinary, so I thought about getting an Angel. Mink or ferret?

As a result, Liu Xing went to do some research on pet ferrets, and then discovered that because ferrets have only begun to be kept as pets on a large scale in recent years, pet ferrets have a somewhat neurotic temperament compared to cats and dogs, and they tend to be aggressive towards their owners. The possibility of mouthing is very high, and even if the pet ferret is kept for a year or two, it may not be very friendly to the owner.

In short, Liu Xing was put off by the fact that this pet mink might not be well-kept, and it also had minor problems such as a strong smell.

Then, Liu Xing jumped into another big pit, which was to raise fish in a grass tank. . . I can't bear to look back.

"It seems that this is a pet ferret, because it does not seem to have albinism, and its fur looks quite smooth, and its nails have been specially trimmed, so it should be a pet ferret, and its owner Either it's nearby, or it just got lost in the past two days."

As Xu Bin spoke, he looked at Liu Xing. The meaning was self-evident.

Liu Xing nodded and knew that it was possible that the ferret and the thin dog had the same owner, but they were both living outside now, and there was no sign of their owner nearby. There were two possibilities.

 The first possibility is that one of the ferrets and the fine dogs got lost for some reason, and then the other little guy was released by their owner as a hunting dog to find his lost friend. . . As a result, both of them seemed to be lost, because their owners were not seen nearby. Moreover, these two little guys were found in the woods, and they both looked a little hungry.

Therefore, Liu Xing is more inclined to the second possibility, that is, something happened to the owner of these two little guys, and he or she deliberately let these two little guys go before the accident. After all, whether it is a thin dog or a Ferrets are quite valuable here, but the most valuable thing about this ferret is its fur.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing said to Dong Qing: "Dong Qing, go find Miao Fei and Wu Ji now and ask them if they recognize this ferret? A small animal like this from the snowy areas of the north, in There probably aren’t many people here who can afford one, so they may have heard about whose family has this ferret.”

Dong Qing quickly took two mouthfuls of rice, nodded and left.

As for the ferret, he showed off his cuteness to the players around him very skillfully, and at the same time, he also successfully ate rice from a bamboo tube.

 It’s quite cute.

 There is a story that Liu Xing was attracted to this ferret because it looked really cute and obedient.

After a while, Dong Qing came back, because the camp site of Miao Fei and others was outside the woods. There was a piece of dry land there. It seemed that there should be an abandoned village nearby, that is, because of the disappearance of Luwei Town. And it became one of the many villages and towns that became history together, and this seemingly unexpected bamboo forest was also planted because of that village. “This ferret does not belong to Wu Ji.”

Dong Qing sat down and said, "But he may know who the owner of this ferret is, because he once cooperated with a trading company when he was running the dock, and the second son of this trading company raised a ferret. Years ago, I took this ferret to the dock, firstly to discuss business, and secondly, to let his ferret eat fresh river fish.”

“Ah? Aren’t there fish everywhere in this river?” Liu Xing asked doubtfully.

"It's like this. This business is in the mountain delicacies business, and it has also cleared several mountains to raise pheasants, so the second young master is responsible for this chicken farm, and by the way, he buys various delicacies from all over the country. So his ferrets don’t get any fresh river fish on weekdays.”

Dong Qing continued: "However, Wu Ji was not sure whether the owner of this ferret was the second young master, because he was also very interested in that ferret at the time, so he also wanted to buy such a ferret as a pawn. As a pet, he heard that the ferret was very expensive, and it would take a year and a half to get the results. After all, it was not easy to catch such a ferret, and he had to wait until the Snow Mountain Chamber of Commerce came to do business. However, in the memory of the second young master, he ordered the ferret with several friends, so Wu Ji thought that the ferret should be raised by the second young master’s friend. After all, the second young master always lived there. This mountain is still hundreds of kilometers away from us."

"But, when Wu Ji heard that we found this ferret that looked like it was lost, he thought of another person - Luo Shi, and this Luo Shi was also the second young master who was chatting with him As mentioned at the time, in short, Luo Shi was a typical playboy, so he secretly sold a shop in his family in order to raise ferrets; but the most important thing is that he may have been kicked out of the house. Because the situation of the Luo family is a bit special, Luo Shi and his brothers and sisters of the same generation have the same father and mother, so after his parents passed away, he was considered an outsider in the Luo family. "

"Of course, if Luo Shi is more honest, the Luo family still doesn't mind supporting such a prodigal son. Anyway, he won't spend much under normal circumstances. Moreover, the Luo family's business is booming at this time, with more than 20 shops in the Profit status; in the end, Luo Shi still couldn't find a sense of proportion. Not only did he spend money lavishly, but he also made some bad friends to cause trouble for the Luo family, and even secretly sold his goods. In short, he just stepped on all kinds of scandals, so Luo Shi The family members who couldn't bear it were kicked out of the house directly. This didn't even count as a family separation, but I should have received a sum of money."

"So if Luo Shi is kicked out of his home, he will be homeless. After all, Luo Shi's mother's identity is quite special. Her natal family may be somewhere thousands of miles away, so wherever Luo Shi appears now, he will be homeless. It's possible; of course, it's also possible that other people who bought ferrets may have encountered some danger nearby, so they let the ferret go... So Miao Fei has a guess, that is, here There may be a new copycat nearby, and then this copycat becomes a business.”

Um?

Liu Xing frowned and realized that this newly established cottage might have been temporarily created by the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall to target him. After all, his **** mission was not over yet.

"Well, do you think there is a possibility that this new village may use an abandoned village as its base? For example, there is such a village near our bamboo forest that has been abandoned for many years. "

As soon as Shi Zixuan said this, all the players present stopped thinking about eating, because everyone knew that the best time to launch a sneak attack was either when the enemy was sleeping or eating. After all, people are at their best at these two times. Relaxed and unguarded.

 “Miao Fei has already set off.”

Dong Qing said quickly: "Miao Fei thought so too, because he had studied the cottages he would encounter along the way before setting off, and then he was sure that there should be no cottages on this stretch of road, unless a cottage was there. It’s open for business at this time! There are no high mountains and dense forests nearby, so if this village wants to make a name for itself as soon as possible, the best choice is to use those abandoned villages as its base, because the architectural style of this area is based on stone houses. host."

The stone house Dong Qing mentioned does not refer to the kind of house made of piled stones, but the kind of house with stone slabs as walls and wood as beams.

This is still kind to Liu Xing, because the house in his hometown is like this, so Liu Xing also thought about a question when he was a child, that is, if he removes a stone slab, will the house fall apart directly? , after all, these slates look quite thin, and may not be as thick as the functional phones of the year.

 So even if no one maintains such a house for many years, it can still have a large frame that remains standing. It only needs to replace the beams and roofs to continue living in it.

Of course, if it is summer, the roof does not need to be used and can be regarded as a starry sky roof.

“Everyone, hurry up and eat, we may have to enter the battle round later!”

Liu Xing said seriously: "But you don't need to worry too much, we still have an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, and with the two masters Miao Fei and Wu Ji sitting in charge, ordinary copycats will definitely not be able to defeat us! What's more, These temporarily gathered bandits are usually a mob, we only need to win the first round of battle to break their will, so don’t think too much.”

Dong Qing on the side also added at this time: "Actually, our team's strength may be stronger than everyone thinks, because in addition to Miao Fei and Wu Ji on the table, Qing Sheng can barely be regarded as a team leader. A third-rate master, but he has basically zero actual combat experience and has never taken a special exam; the same is true for some villagers in Wangjia Village. They have the strength of a third-rate master, but they have never had a chance to verify it. ! So Miao Fei found several people to compete with each other in the past two days to confirm their strength, and then found that a few of them would have the strength of second-rate masters if they completed the formation!"

"ah?"

Liu Xing exclaimed like everyone else, because no one thought that Wangjiacun had such strength. After all, Wangjiacun had been working behind closed doors for so many years, and the training was mainly focused on battlefield fighting, and he had no actual combat experience. , so individual strength may not be enough.

Since this result has been verified by Miao Fei, Liu Xing can only accept this gift with a smile.

“So the overall strength of our team may be stronger than some sects. The only weakness is that there are a lot of losers, such as us players.”

Dong Qing shrugged and said with a smile: "The character cards of us players are all life occupations, so our combat effectiveness is similar to that of ordinary people, but we may be more afraid of death than these NPCs, because we all want to fight in this martial arts Survive in the module longer so you can get more rewards.”

"So we have to be more utilitarian. If there is a chance to play a team battle today or later, then we players can just stand in the second row and support ourselves." Liu Xing said with a smile.
