A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Walking southwest from the central square, the houses on both sides are getting older and lower, and the roads are getting narrower and narrower.

It’s still light in the afternoon, which is considered working time, but there are many middle-aged uncles and aunts sitting on the bumpy brick roadside to enjoy the shade, or chatting in small groups, or putting tables outside to play chess and cards.

You Qingyu skillfully passed through the clothes racks sticking out of the window, the dry shelves occupying the road and other sundries, bypassed the depression on the road, and walked deeper into the alley.

She's pretty much out of the frightened state.Although the whole person was still tense, he was able to move normally.

The others followed her, and the corners of their clothes would accidentally hang on the debris piled up on the roadside from time to time, and they had to be careful to avoid the sewage spilled by others when they opened the door.

Turning a corner in the alley, there is a rather dilapidated courtyard wall ahead.

This set of courtyards is more spacious than the previous ones, but it looks extraordinarily messy and dilapidated.The door of the dirty courtyard is half open, and you can see the piles of sundries inside; there is a folding table at the door, and several women in their 50s and [-]s are sitting around the table, playing mahjong enthusiastically.

"Four." With her back against the courtyard wall, an aunt with a round face played a card.

"It's all the same, you're stupid! Give me money, give me money."

The woman opposite her immediately pushed the cards away and rubbed her fingers at the other three with a smile on her face.

"Why did you win again! Could it be that my seat is not well feng shui today?" The round-faced aunt threw out a wad of banknotes unwillingly, "Oh, I'm willing to admit defeat. Let's call it a day and stop playing. "

"Don't play now? Then you will lose all your money." Someone laughed.

"Don't play anymore, don't play anymore, I have no money—huh?"

When she saw You Qingyu, her eyes lit up immediately, and she waved her hand and said loudly: "Girl, where did you go this morning? Quick, come here and get me some money, Aunt needs it urgently."

You Qingyu pretended not to hear, and directly walked around her to the door.

"Hey, your ears are not good, girl? Auntie called you, didn't you hear?"

The woman pushed the table angrily, stood up and wanted to grab someone, "Hurry up, here's the money, I'm in a hurry to start the next round."

You Qingyu went into the yard on his own, and slammed the door with his backhand, almost knocking the woman's nose.She froze for a moment, then stomped her feet in anger, and opened her throat to howl: "What a heartless bastard! Wings are hard, isn't it, this attitude towards elders—"

The courtyard door suddenly opened again.The woman was taken aback, but You Qingyu treated her as if she was a transparent person, and looked directly across the path beyond her.

"How long are you going to stand there, are you still coming?"

Several other players stood on the other side rather awkwardly.

"Uh...this..."

"You," You Qingyu's "aunt"—that is, Aunt You, yelled in surprise when she saw this, "You bring someone back... Bah," suddenly realizing how ugly her words were, she quickly swallowed them back , inevitably a little guilty, "Are you bringing your friends back to play?"

You Qingyu hummed expressionlessly.

He Xiangwu and Zhao Jun standing in front were so embarrassed that they froze for a moment.Fang Shiqing pushed from behind, and whispered: "Let's go, anyway, these are all NPCs, and they are all virtual characters in the game. Just treat them as dummies."

A group of people rushed into the courtyard gate as if they were running away, facing the curious gazes of the aunts nearby.

When Zeng Xin passed by, she smiled at Aunt You embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to bother you."

"It's okay, it's okay... Oh, you kid, why didn't you tell me in advance when you want to entertain guests!"

Aunt You rolled her eyes, took the opportunity to grab You Qingyu, and said relentlessly, "Quick, give me some tickets, it doesn't need much, just fifty. I'll change the seat facing auspiciously later, It will be turned over soon, hurry up!"

She seemed to think that her "niece" would not want to lose face in front of her peers, so she took the opportunity to make a request.

The players had already entered the courtyard, You Qingyu finally rolled his eyes and glanced at her, showing a trace of disgust.

"I don't have any money," she pulled her arm out of the opponent's hand, "I want to earn money by myself."

After she finished speaking, she turned around abruptly, slammed the courtyard door again, and locked the lock with her backhand.

After a while, there were loud shouts and curses from outside, as well as chaotic voices of comfort.

"This..." Zhao Jun bit the bullet and asked, "Is it not very good?"

"Leave her alone," You Qingyu folded his arms and walked in with a cold face, "Let's get down to business first."

"But, that is your 'aunt' after all, if..."

Hearing this, You Qingyu turned around and sneered, "I don't have such a top-notch aunt, she's just a lazy NPC, and has nothing to do with my money. Every day I know how to drink, play mahjong, ask for money, and I never work— —I've never had such a shameless idler in my family."

Realizing that she was angry, Zhao Jun immediately swallowed the rest of the words.

"No, I mean, would it be a problem to just lock her out?"

According to traditional concepts, the other party is more or less an "elder"; the younger generation should not treat the elders in this way anyway.But no matter how you say it, that Aunt You is just an npc. Taking a step back, this is also You Qingyu's own business, and no one else has anything to say.

"It's okay. When she gets tired from playing, she will find a spare key to enter the door by herself."

The players follow her, across the yard, towards the old house.

The yard is full of rubbish. At first glance, it even looks a bit like a waste collection station.Not far from the left hand side, there is a low wall built with red bricks, half of which has collapsed. On the right side of the wall, there are some abandoned furniture, dressing tables, wooden boxes and odds and ends, which seem to have been sorted out slightly. Pure rubbish.

"Sorry, it's too messy outside," You Qingyu took the key to open the door and said without looking back, "I haven't had time to clean it up yet."

It seems that if she hadn't been cleaning up, the surroundings would have been even more messy.

Fang Shiqing walked at the back, and when he was about to follow in, he saw a white shadow passing by the courtyard wall from the corner of his eye, and when he turned his head to look, he was stunned.

The little animal that was nimbly turning over the wall had a bell hanging around its neck... Isn't it the three-flowered cat named Xiaohua!

When he was in a daze, the sanhua cat had already slipped over unconsciously, rubbing around his legs, meowing.He subconsciously bent down to pick up the cat, and then he didn't know what to do.

"Why don't you come in?" As the owner, You Qingyu pushed open the door to call for someone, and was startled when he saw this, "Where did the cat come from, a wild cat?"

"No, it's not..."

Fang Shiqing wanted to cry but had no tears.Even if the door of the library is unlocked, it's fine if the cat can slip out, so why did it find it all the way here?is it a dog !ah? ?

There is no time to send it back now, and Xiaohua is not willing to enter the inventory, so Fang Shiqing has no choice but to hold it all the time and bring it in.Although the animals in the game are also automatically cleaned by the system, there is no need to deal with excrement or anything, and it will not cause too much trouble to people, he still feels very embarrassed.

This house is not too big, it is divided into upper and lower floors, and it also has an attic.The first floor is the living room, toilet and kitchen, and the second floor is two bedrooms.

The living room is spacious, but the electrical appliances and furniture are in the style of the last century; cigarette boxes and beer bottles are littered on the sofa and coffee table, and the room smells of smoke that has been tainted for years.

In the whole room, the most conspicuous thing is undoubtedly the large mirror that hangs directly opposite and occupies almost the entire wall.

Many people like to install this kind of large mirror in the hall, which can make the living room look spacious in terms of visual effect.The mirror was obviously very old, with many indelible stains on it, and it looked dirty.

Everyone else walked along the aisle to the place where the incident happened last night, only Xiao Fengdi stood in the hall, looking at the mirror for a long time.

Fang Shiqing walked over to take a look, and saw that his own appearance and the cat in his hand were well reflected on the flat mirror, but he didn't find anything unusual.

"Boss, what's the problem?"

"It's a big problem. You shouldn't hang a mirror in this position, it's easy to attract murder...wait a minute," Xiao Fengdi saw the cat in the mirror, and his face darkened suddenly, "Why is it here? You brought it?"

"No... Did you come here by yourself? Isn't the library door unlocked?"

Xiao Fengdi clicked his tongue with displeasure on his face: "If I knew it earlier, I would have bought a cage and locked it up. Don't take it with you. This is a female cat with a very negative vibe. If you bring it around, you might attract cats." to something bad."

Fang Shiqing smiled wryly: "I don't want to take it with me..." But Xiao Hua insisted on sticking to it, and he couldn't drive it away, and he had nothing to do.You can't be rough on the kitten, right?

Several other players have rushed into the toilet, crowding the small toilet to the brim.

The mirror that frightened You Qingyu last night was the one embedded in the mirror box directly in front of the sink.Like the rest of the furniture, the mirror looked very old, and the edges were even a little yellowed.

One by one, everyone came to the front, looked at the mirror again and again, knocked and tapped, opened the mirror box to check, and found nothing unusual.There is neither a sudden door nor a flashing teleportation point. Everyone is standing in place, and there is no sign of entering the instance.

The players paused for a discussion, and they all felt that the "person" in the mirror last night might be the key, and maybe even she was the instance boss.When she appears, the copy will probably be opened.

But no one knew the conditions for her appearance; He Xiangwu even squeezed some lady's facial cleanser on the side, but the mirror just reflected his embarrassment as it was.

After tossing for more than half an hour, everyone was a little impatient.

"How do you open the entrance to this dungeon?" He Xiangwu washed the cleanser off his face again, "Is the person in the mirror only interested in You Qingyu, come over and wash your face?"

"...What if she really crawled out and strangled me to death?" You Qingyu turned pale and touched her neck.

"There are so many people watching here, how could you be strangled to death?"

"I, I think," Zeng Xin said, her voice was soft and thin, and she had to raise her voice to be noticed by others, "Is it because it is broad daylight? The announcement also said that there will be no ghosts during the day." ..."

"..."

Hearing "evening", the players fell silent in unison.Among them, the faces of those who have seen ghosts are particularly ugly.

"Then try again at night," Xiao Fengdi, who was finally leaning against the door, said decisively, "There is no other way."

A few people had no choice but to sit down temporarily in the living room, quietly waiting for the dark.

When the sun was setting, there was a noise outside, and Aunt You walked in with a low-quality cigarette in her mouth.

"Yo," she was taken aback after entering the door, "are you still here?"

"They will spend the night here tonight." You Qingyu stood up and said without doubt.

"Ah? You, why didn't you tell me before..."

"Does it have something to do with you?" She waved her hand impatiently, "I am the head of this house. I can invite whoever I like over here."

Aunt You's face turned purple all of a sudden.She opened her mouth as if she wanted to curse, but looked at the row of strange men behind her, but she didn't dare to attack. She held back for a long time, finally picked up the cigarette case on the coffee table, snorted and went upstairs.

Watching Aunt You's back disappear on the stairs, Zeng Xin hesitated and asked in a low voice: "This, Qingyu, no, isn't it very good? After that, you will still live with her..."

"Leave her alone," You Qingyu waved her hands impatiently, "I hate her—not motivated, hardworking, or hardworking, she is simply a parasite of the family and society. Even if this kind of person is not an NPC, but my own aunt, I don't want to deal with it either."

Xiao Fengdi had been studying the large mirror, but until night fell, he didn't seem to see why.

The players waited a little longer, until it was completely dark, before squeezing into the toilet again.You Qingyu turned on the small light on the washstand, and under the dim light, the narrow bathroom seemed a little eerie for no reason.

Dimly aware of the strange atmosphere, the few people who dared to try boldly in the afternoon were all dumbfounded.Zhao Jun stopped at the door, Gu Jinhong paused, went in and took a look in the mirror, but he didn't dare to look at himself in the mirror; He Xiangwu looked in the mirror, took the lady's facial cleanser in his hand, After hesitating for a long time, he didn't dare to squeeze out.

"Here," he said with a shudder, "how does it feel... so strange. I now believe that there is a ghost here."

You Qingyu leaned against the wall opposite the aisle, daring not to say anything: "No, I, as expected, forget it, I don't want to do it again..."

"But you have to try." Xiao Fengdi walked in generously and looked in the mirror. Seeing that nothing happened, he took the facial cleanser from He Xiangwu. "Is it useful to escape? We can't escape from this game." You will have to face it sooner or later. If you don’t dare, let someone else do it first.”

"Uh……"

Fang Shiqing looked around and found that everyone had indescribable expressions on their faces, so he had to raise his hand and said, "Let me try."
