A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

The puppet was in a daze for a long time, during which Fang Shiqing waited quietly by the side.He is quite sure about the current situation, and he has a feeling of carrying the mystery that he got the ultimate clue when playing a puzzle game.

A deep confusion gradually appeared on her face: "But...it's weird, it's really weird. Isn't this an obvious thing, why I haven't figured it out for so many years, why do I behave like this once I figured it out Are you happy?"

She looked at the palm of her hand, "Is this emotion real? Why...if my heart can be changed so easily, all the time I've spent in the past...all that pain?"

——Of course it is because that is the key point for players to clear the dungeon.Everything is set by the game system: as a BOSS, she can only linger in the desperate situation of longing for love, until a certain player comes and tells her the "key information that can change her" in the setting.

But he couldn't tell the other party this kind of words.Not to mention whether she can understand, this kind of behavior is against the rules.

"There's no need to delve into this," Xiao Fengdi said unhurriedly, "Aren't you more relaxed and happy now than before? Since it's a change for the better, the reason doesn't matter at all, the only thing that matters is the matter." result."

The puppet girl seemed to be convinced, and finally nodded: "Okay.——At least, now I don't want to go to a stalemate with you any more. I have to think about it... find a quiet place and have a good time. ... think about it seriously."

She turned and slowly disappeared further into the room.

For a short time, neither Fang Shiqing nor Xiao Fengdi spoke.

After a while, Fang Shiqing whispered: "Why haven't we been sent out of the dungeon yet?"

According to previous experience, they should be ejected when the instance ends.Could it be that the way it ended this time was unorthodox, so they had to go out by themselves?

"I don't know, let's wait and see." Xiao Fengdi put the fire ax back in the inventory, and it seemed that he planned to take it out with him.

Fang Shiqing looked around, a little thankful, but also a little embarrassed.

If Xiao Fengdi hadn't stayed and waited for him for a while before, he must be alone here now - and it is not certain whether he is dead or alive.

Without Xiao Fengdi helping him buy time, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to tell the boss the key information.

"Are you not injured?" The other party looked at him and asked.

"No, I'm fine. Boss, thank you for saving me just now—"

"Stop thanking me again," he interrupted. "It's too extravagant. It's what I should do."

People can say such things, but Fang Shiqing can't take other people's kindness to him for granted.

"No, don't say that. You are sick and have no obligation to save me, but you have helped me so many times. I don't know how to repay you..."

"Then," Xiao Fengdi suddenly smiled slightly, "A promise with your body?"

"Yeah, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay back the whole life." Fang Shiqing was thinking about this question very seriously, "Boss, if I can get out alive, you can get as much money as you want , I can give you all."

"..."

Xiao Fengdi froze.Immediately, his complexion became extremely bad visibly to the naked eye.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm not saying that you can repay your kindness with money. I know it's impossible to repay your kindness with money," Fang Shiqing hurriedly remedied, "In short, if there is anything I can do for you in the future, just tell me All right, I'll do my best."

"...Did you do it on purpose?" The other party stared at him and asked.

"?" Fang Shiqing was puzzled.

Xiao Fengdi grabbed his shoulder a little irritably: "If you don't want to, you can just speak up, and you don't need to beat around the bush to avoid this matter."

"Which thing to avoid?" Fang Shiqing became more and more confused. Could it be that the boss had some subtext just now that he missed?

"It's me and your—"

"That..." A voice slanted in, "After all, this is still my territory. Can you pay attention to the impact? I'm going blind."

The puppet girl appeared again at some point, holding a file bag in her hand.

Her face looks normal, it seems that this is not her real body, but another substitute.

Xiao Fengdi let go of his hand and put it down silently.He seemed very annoyed, with a sullen face, completely ignoring the other party.

Fang Shiqing scratched his head and asked, "Well, what do you want?"

"Oh, here you are."

The puppet girl handed him the things in her hand, "These things have long been of no use to me, so give them to you."

Fang Shiqing took it over and opened it to see that there were several documents that looked very formal, including the contract for the transfer of land and factory ownership.

"This is?" He turned to the signature page, and found that one side had already been signed, and the other side was empty.

"It was something my father left here two days after my death," she said, tilting her head. "He was quite unlucky to say the least. After the investigation, they didn't even dare to let this matter spread to the town, so as not to cause panic. Later, he had to move away with his family, and left these things before leaving. God knows what kind of psychology. Probably hoping for a fate A man can inherit his factory."

If it were in reality, this kind of document that was half signed many years ago would have expired long ago, not to mention that there is no official seal on it.But this is a game, and all the procedures are simple; as long as the player writes his name in another signature position of the document, he can turn the factory and land into his own property.

Fang Shiqing thought for a while and asked, "The police at that time probably didn't find your body?"

"Well, I hid pieces of 'me'. Otherwise I'd be sent to the morgue, and I'd be terribly cold."

"So from your father's point of view, you are just missing. Maybe you are still alive," he nodded and said, "He probably thought that if you came back one day, he could leave this to you."

"……yes?"

The face of the puppet moved slightly, as if a little self-deprecating, "So, he still has some feelings for me, but I don't need it anymore."

She stretched her arms, deliberately showing an expression of indifference.

"Then goodbye, no... it should be a farewell. Although I don't want to wish you two gays at all, but anyway, let's do it."

"Huh?" Hearing that word from her mouth again, Fang Shiqing quickly wanted to explain, "We are not—"

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a familiar whirlwind, and the surrounding scenes were mixed together.

He is already familiar with this kind of experience, it is exactly the feeling when sending out a copy.

He staggered a little, and the distorted scene returned to normal the next moment, and he found that he was already standing in the yard of the toy factory.

Looking around, besides Xiao Fengdi, other players around him also passed out.He immediately counted the number of people and heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was missing.

Finally passed another dungeon smoothly... and this time not only did not reduce the number of staff, but also had a strange harvest.

"Are you all right?" Zeng Xin ran over immediately, looking like she was about to cry, "What happened just now? Why was the entrance door suddenly closed?"

"Ah, we're alright, it was the BOSS just now and she suddenly—"

Just as Fang Shiqing wanted to explain, from the corner of his eye he suddenly saw Xiao Fengdi turning his head and walking out without saying a word.

He didn't know why he suddenly panicked, "Sorry, anyway, we're leaving first, and you guys should go back and rest early."

After speaking, he hurriedly chased after Xiao Fengdi, and walked out of the factory gate.

Zeng Xin stood there and looked at them, at first he was a little puzzled, but after he realized it, he was a little embarrassed.

You Qingyu was at the other end of the yard, calling two male teammates to help Zhao Jun up.Probably because Zhao Jun hadn't eaten for several days, although Zhao Jun woke up when he fell out of the dungeon, he seemed very weak.

The puppet who had been following Gu Jinhong strode forward and lifted Zhao Jun up with one hand, startling everyone around him.Seeing this, Gu Jinhong simply said: "Then let us send him back."

"...Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Fang Shiqing followed Xiao Fengdi closely, and the two walked north through the path by the lake.During this period, he kept secretly observing the other party, only to feel that his face was still gloomy, as if someone owed him [-] million.

——This time, maybe I really said something wrong.Otherwise, it would be impossible for the boss to ignore him for so long. There has never been a similar situation before.

"That, boss..." He said carefully.

"Is there anything? I'll talk about it later," Xiao Fengdi cut off coldly, without any intention of slowing down. "I'm going back to sleep."

Fang Shiqing suddenly remembered that the other party hadn't had a good rest for a long time before entering the dungeon.After finally being able to sleep for a while, he was dug up from the bed by him before departure, and then it was a whole busy night...

With a strong apology in his heart, he stopped and said in a low voice: "Then, then you... have a good rest."

The other party ignored him or looked at him, but just walked forward quickly.

Fang Shiqing stood at the intersection, silently watched him disappear on the other side, and then turned and walked west.

He went back to his farm.Now it’s not like before, even if he just worked all night in the dungeon, he can’t fall asleep immediately; there are still a lot of work waiting for him to deal with on the farm, feeding chickens and sheep, tending crops, and repairing fences, all of which are still up to him Come on.

It takes a long time to do these things alone, and there is no need for harvesting and new planting today, otherwise it will be even more busy.

He felt that he was a bit out of shape today: he was always in a daze when he was busy, and then became depressed for no reason.

When he was combing Shivering's fur, he was absent-minded for a moment, and he caught the same place and combed it repeatedly for a long time, almost balding its skin, and finally realized it by avoiding it tremblingly.

Looking at the brush in his hand, Fang Shiqing was silent for a while, and finally sighed——

Perhaps the boss had always been too kind to him, and he felt very uncomfortable when he thought of the cold face of the other party.Obviously, there is no reason for people to be nice to him all the time, but alas.

Tomorrow... it's better to go to the door early to apologize.

So the next morning he went to the library.

He was already very nervous on the way, and when he entered the door and saw Xiao Fengdi sitting in the manager's seat, his nervousness reached its peak.

Xiao Fengdi seemed to have returned to normal. When he saw him, he didn't show any special expression. He just put down the book in his hand and took off his glasses: "You're here."

"Boss, that, I... yesterday, I'm sorry."

Fang Shiqing only felt that his tongue was getting knotted.He didn't want to stumble and speak, but that nervousness undoubtedly affected his language system.

"Yesterday? Oh, I was a little tired yesterday, so don't take it to heart." Xiao Fengdi pushed the chair and stood up, walked towards him as usual, and stopped one meter away, "You came to check the information today What? You can tell me what you want to find, and I will help you find it."

He was still kind, and Fang Shiqing was slightly relieved.

"No, I'm not here to check anything, I just want to find you."

"Well," Xiao Fengdi was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "In the future, if you have nothing to do, you should not come here. Of course, you can come anytime if you have something to do."

"……Hey?"

Fang Shiqing was stunned.

Don't come, does it mean that the other party doesn't want to see him again?That is, he is hated?

"No, don't think too much," Xiao Fengdi said looking at his face, "I just think that under the current circumstances, it is necessary to temporarily avoid suspicion. You must not have forgotten, the last thing that puppet said yesterday Those words."

The other party's demeanor and tone were very peaceful, and it seemed that they were discussing business matters.

Fang Shiqing couldn't react, his mind was full of "you should not come", and he couldn't think carefully.

"The last... what was it?"

"It's about the orientation," Xiao Fengdi said. "You don't want to be suspected of your sexual orientation, so avoid suspicion for now, okay?"

——Ah, so it is this one.

Fang Shiqing was really shocked when he was called gay by the boss for the first time, but after he went back yesterday, he forgot about it.Speaking of it, for him, being said a few words by an NPC without pain is far less of a blow than the big boss ignoring him.

In other words, boss, he doesn't want to be misled?Fang Shiqing regained consciousness a little, and immediately assured him: "Okay, don't worry, boss, I will explain it to other players, and I will definitely not make them treat you as a gay."

"It's okay, I was."

"--what?"

"I mean, I was. Homo, gay, whatever you want to call it."

Xiao Fengdi said slowly, "That's why we need to avoid suspicion."
