Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 770 Inter-era

   After finishing a day's work, Liu Xing immediately replied that he had dinner at home, and then came to the only square in Taoyuan Village.

  This square is located behind the small ancestral hall, about the size of a football field, and at this time in the middle of the small square, the bonfire is ready.

But looking at how tall the bonfire was, Liu Xing suddenly remembered a problem, that is, he didn't see many trees in Taoyuan Village, not even a small forest, and these trees looked like Less than ten years old.

  This is very strange, you must know that this was in the Jin Dynasty, because coal was not yet valued by people, so everyone basically used wood as fuel.

   But from what Liu Xing has seen and heard in the past two days, Taoyuan Village does not seem to lack the former wood, but these trees around Taoyuan Village are definitely not enough for the villagers of Taoyuan Village.

   Could it be that the woods are also beyond your sight?

   Liu Xing looked at everything around him and felt more and more that something was wrong.

   To put it simply, Liu Xing felt that the ecological system of Taoyuan Village was not enough to maintain the living needs of the villagers in Taoyuan Village.

  It should be known that the population of Taoyuan Village has reached nearly 1,000 people. The daily food and drinking expenses of so many people are not a small amount, and a lot of household waste is produced every day. . . So the question is, what kind of **** is the half a crucian carp that Liu Xing ate tonight?

Although many people in Taoyuan Village are raising livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep, the meat that the villagers eat the most is fish. After all, fish reproduce and develop very fast, so Liu Xing these two days It was found that many ponds are actually fish ponds.

  As the sky got darker and darker, the villagers of Taoyuan Village came to the square, and Liu Xing had been looking for Zhang Jingxu and others.

  When the bonfire was officially lit, Liu Xing finally saw Zhang Jingxu and others standing next to the five clan elders.

   And it seemed that Zhang Jingxu and the five clan elders had a good chat.

After a while, the old man of the royal family stood up and clapped his hands, and said, "Today is the 680th year since our ancestors came here to establish Taoyuan Village. It is a day worth celebrating. We bring good news that the world is at peace now, so everyone have a good drink tonight!"

   "Yeah!" The villagers of Taoyuan Village cheered happily.

have a drink?

   Liu Xing instantly became vigilant, because in the Cthulhu running group game, misfortune comes from the mouth is a classic law.

   And in the days when Liu Xing was in Taoyuan Village, he drank nothing but water, and Liu Xing did not find any drinks at home.

   At this time, several strong men carried over several wooden barrels, and when the lid of the wooden barrels was opened, Liu Xing smelled a familiar aroma of wine, and it seemed to be high-quality liquor.

Liu Xing couldn't help frowning, because Liu Xing knew that the alcohol content in ancient times was not high. After all, the brewing technology at that time was not enough to produce high-quality liquor, so the three bowls Wu Song drank before fighting the tiger were not good enough. Probably no more than ten degrees, not much different from today's beer.

   But judging from the current situation, Liu Xing suspects that the degree of liquor in the barrel is likely to exceed 60 degrees, which is a kind of black technology in the Jin Dynasty when this module took place.

   At this time, the villagers were already surrounded by the wooden barrels, and the strong men also began to distribute drinks.

   Liu Xing was able to notice that the villagers who drank the wine showed the expression of a long drought and rain. It seems that these wines are not drinkable in normal times.

   So do you want to go for a drink?

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Xing still leaned over to the wooden barrel, because Liu Xing was thinking very much now. Anyway, he was just an NPC in this mod, and he didn't need to be as careful as when he was a player. If there is really a problem with this liquor, you can also warn Zhang Jingxu.

   Of course, Liu Xing had to admit that this liquor had an inexplicable attraction to him. To be precise, "Liu Xing" subconsciously wanted to drink this liquor.

   Soon Liu Xing got a bowl of baijiu. From the outside, the baijiu was not unusual.

   Liu Xing took a deep breath and sighed directly.

Cool!

   Liu Xing only felt that after the liquor was in the mouth, it turned into a stream of heat and wandered around his limbs, giving himself a feeling of comfort throughout his body.

  Good wine.

   Liu Xing stared at the wooden barrel, unable to resist drinking the entire barrel of wine.

  Unfortunately, when Liu Xing got a bowl of baijiu, he was crowded out by other villagers around, so Liu Xing looked at the crowd and decided to join Zhang Jingxu and others first.

   At this time, Zhang Jingxu was still chatting with the five clan elders. Zhang Wenbing and Ding Kun stood behind Zhang Jingxu as bodyguards, while Yin En was studying the red apple in his hand.

Apple?

   Liu Xing frowned, thinking straight in his heart that Taoyuan Village was in a dreamland in all likelihood, because this apple was only introduced to China in the 19th century, so there should be no apples in Taoyuan Village at this time.

   Of course, some people think that the "柰" mentioned in the ancient text is an apple, but even if it is an apple, it is not the same variety as the red apple in Yin En's hands.

   So the red apple in Yoon Eun's hand obviously shouldn't be here.

   But having said that, if Taoyuan Village is really located in the Dreamland, then the appearance of red apples is also easy to explain. After all, it is not impossible for the door to appear in the Dreamland near the place where the red apples are produced.

   At this time, Yin En also noticed Liu Xing, so he stepped forward and said, "This little brother, I have something I want to ask you."

   Liu Xing knew that Yin En was trying to pass a message to himself.

   Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "If you have any questions, just ask, I will definitely know everything and say everything."

Yin En also smiled and asked, "What I want to ask is if anyone in your Taoyuan Village knows magic. I made a lot of marks when I left Taoyuan Village, but I still couldn't find the way several times, and When I left Taoyuan Village again, I didn't find the mark I made before."

   "Well, I really don't know about this issue, but I have lived in Taoyuan Village for so many years, and I have never heard of anyone who knows magic in Taoyuan Village." Liu Xing replied seriously.

  Yin En nodded, and said disappointedly, "That's it, thank you for your advice, little brother."

   Yoon Eun left after saying that.

   Liu Xing looked at Yin En's back and began to think about the meaning of this message that Yin En sent to himself.

Obviously, this piece of information from Yin En is also from the original text of "Peach Blossom Spring". In short, the fisherman who left Taoyuan Village has marked them along the way, but when the fisherman wants to find Taoyuan Village through these markings again. when it failed.

   This sentence looks normal in the original text, but if this sentence is put into the Cthulhu run game, it will inevitably make players think too much.

   So why is the fisherman's mark wrong?

For those modules about "Peach Blossom Spring" that Liu Xing has seen, there are generally two explanations for this - the first explanation is that after the fisherman left Taoyuan Village, Taoyuan Village arranged for people to move those markers. Hands and feet; the second explanation is that Taoyuan Village has been in a state of movement.

In this regard, Liu Xing is more inclined to the latter, because it is quite easy to get hungry if you want to find a motionless Taoyuan Village, as long as you send enough people to do it, and in the Cthulhu running group game, want to let Taoyuan It is not impossible for the location of the village to change constantly, and from the current situation, it is only necessary to move the gate of the dreamland.

etc.

   Liu Xing suddenly realized a problem at this time, that is, Zhang Jingxu and others have left Taoyuan Village a few days ago, and the main task of this mod does not require Zhang Jingxu to leave Taoyuan Village alive?

   Could it be that Zhang Jingxu has not left Taoyuan Village these days? !

   Liu Xing couldn't help but look at Zhang Jingxu, and found that Zhang Jingxu was also looking at him at this time.

  As an old teammate who has completed many modules together, Zhang Jingxu immediately saw the doubts in Liu Xing's eyes, so Zhang Jingxu nodded vaguely.

   What's going on here?

   Liu Xing recalled carefully, at that time, Zhang Jingxu and others did look like they were going to leave Taoyuan Village at the farewell of the old royal family, and when Zhang Jingxu and the others came back during the day, it didn't look like they came back because they got lost.

   So Zhang Jingxu and the others have fallen into illusion? !

  Liu Xing only thought of such a possibility - Zhang Jingxu and others were unknowingly in the illusion, so they thought they had left Taoyuan Village and returned home.

   If it is illusion, then this matter can be a little troublesome, because the roles played by Liu Xing and others are ordinary people, and it is not easy for ordinary people to crack illusion.

   At this time, Zhang Jingxu finally finished chatting with the five clan elders, and the several clan elders dispersed.

   On the square at this time, the villagers of Taoyuan Village sang and danced around the bonfire, and it was obvious that everyone was very happy.

   Zhang Jingxu and others seemed to be infected by the people around them, and also participated with a smile. . . Of course, Zhang Jingxu stuffed a small note when passing by Liu Xing.

   Because the clothes Liu Xing is wearing now have no pockets, Liu Xing can only hold the small note tightly.

After the bonfire party lasted for more than two hours, it ended because the bonfire was extinguished. At this bonfire party, Liu Xing still did not talk to Zhang Jingxu, and Zhang Jingxu and others went again after the bonfire party ended. The royal family rests.

   After returning home, Liu Xing had been dozing in the room. After the surroundings were completely quiet, Liu Xing took the small note and walked out of the door, and then checked the contents of the small note under the moonlight.

   From this small note, Liu Xing finally knew what Zhang Jingxu and others had done in the past few days.

First of all, Zhang Jingxu's identity in this module is one of the best celebrities in Wuling City, so after the fisherman "Yin En" brought the news of Taoyuan Village back to Wuling City, "Zhang Jingxu" began to prepare for Taoyuan Village. As a result, "Yin En" took the subordinates of the prefect of Wuling and did not find Taoyuan Village for the first time, so "Yin En" became synonymous with a liar in Wuling City, and the prefect of Wuling gave up the idea of ​​​​going to Taoyuan Village again.

   However, "Zhang Jingxu" did not give up, so "Zhang Jingxu" paid to hire "Yin En", and this time "Yin En" brought the three of "Zhang Jingxu" to Taoyuan Village.

And when entering the module, Zhang Jingxu and others were actually in a cave, and as Liu Xing guessed, Zhang Jingxu and others stopped when they saw a light, wanting to see the situation inside clearly before Moving forward, Zhang Jingxu and the others couldn't see what was behind the light all the time, so they had to dare to walk in, and after a brief loss of vision, Taoyuan Village appeared in front of Zhang Jingxu and others.

   At this time, Zhang Jingxu suspected that Taoyuan Village was located in a dreamland.

  After being invited by the old man of the royal family, Zhang Jingxu and others came to the old man of the royal family as guests, and the old man of the royal family was a relatively large wooden courtyard, and Zhang Jingxu and others lived in the west wing.

In the past few days, Zhang Jingxu has repeatedly proposed to go out for a walk, but every time he was rejected by the royal family for various reasons, and the other four family elders often came over to chat with Zhang Jingxu, but they were chatting. During the process, Zhang Jingxu discovered that these five clan elders had very broad knowledge and did not look like an old man living in a village isolated from the world for hundreds of years.

   Of course, what surprised Zhang Jingxu the most was that there were many things in the old royal family's home that shouldn't exist here, such as a set of purple clay teapots, blue and white porcelain pillows and some cotton products.

You must know that cotton was an ornamental plant a long time ago, and it was not taken seriously in the early days of its introduction into China. Therefore, the earliest cotton textile products recorded in China were in the Southern Song Dynasty, and in the early Yuan Dynasty, cotton and silk, silk And so on together to add to the tax list.

After seeing these cross-era items, Zhang Jingxu was more certain that Taoyuan Village was located in the Dreamland, and Taoyuan Village was a vassal village of a certain mythical creature, so Zhang Jingxu began to walk around the old royal family's home, trying to find a relationship with the mythical creature. Biological clues, but Zhang Jingxu found nothing.

   So, Zhang Jingxu tried to say goodbye to the old man of the royal family, but he didn't expect that the old man of the royal family really let Zhang Jingxu and others leave Taoyuan Village, so Zhang Jingxu immediately took Ding Kun and others out of Taoyuan Village.

  Although he returned to the cave again, Zhang Jingxu did not receive the news from kp Aier that he passed the mod, so Zhang Jingxu could be sure that he was still within the range of Taoyuan Village.

However, since he had "left" Taoyuan Village, Zhang Jingxu couldn't immediately turn around and "return" to Taoyuan Village, so Zhang Jingxu took Zhang Wenbing and others back to Wuling City, and after a few days of rest in Wuling City, he returned to Wuling City. Find the opportunity to return to Taoyuan Village.
