A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

"Holding hands" is a rather ambiguous gesture, even between same-sex couples.

Speaking of which, they have had a lot of physical contact voluntarily or passively, and even shared the same bed many times (although it is for safety reasons), but it seems that they have never held hands like this, palm to palm.

This action should have been the privilege of couples, not between them.

Fang Shiqing shuddered, and immediately broke away, feeling as if his palm had been burned.

Xiao Fengdi's hand stopped in mid-air for a moment, as if he didn't understand why he reacted so violently.Fang Shiqing was embarrassed for a while, and whispered: "I'm fine, let's go."

"Come here, let me hold you," Xiao Fengdi frowned and said, "It's safer this way."

——No need, this is a town, it is daytime, there is no danger.On the contrary, if you act close, being discovered by that person will further increase the danger.

Fang Shiqing wanted to answer like this, but he couldn't say a word when the words came to his mouth. Instead, he passed his hand involuntarily.

...This is the privilege of couples.So, now they might look like a couple.

They must have asked for this only for safety reasons.But when he accepted the help from the other party, his heart was full of inappropriate thoughts... He felt that he was extremely unwise, but at the moment when the other party held his hand hard, he still felt helpless. satisfied.

In fact, in Fengyue Town, regardless of gender, young people would not look strange holding hands. The concept of "sexual orientation" seems to be quite weak here.

Passing by a grocery store on the way, Fang Shiqing wanted to turn in to see if he could run into the siblings, and to make some clichés, but was stopped by Xiao Fengdi.

"It's not necessary," he said, "You don't need to get involved in this matter, just let me handle it."

He seemed to really think that this incident was entirely his own responsibility.Fang Shiqing felt very sorry, but he couldn't help much, so he had to thank him again.

When I returned to the library, I happened to run into Yu Fei who was finishing work and was about to leave.

Xiao Fengdi was also not polite to him, and directly asked him to report at Qingliang Farm tomorrow, but he was quite happy.

Fang Shiqing noticed a subtle change in Yu Fei's attitude, especially when facing him, it was like... how should I put it, like a little boy in the second stage of middle school who ran into a female teacher who went shopping with his date during the holidays, respected At the same time, with a special teasing attitude.He was overwhelmed by his own imagination, and immediately stopped there.

After sending Yu Fei away, there were only the two of them left in the familiar space.

Xiao Fengdi took out the "Instant Moment" again and opened it.There are many more labels on the originally incomprehensible map, including directions and scales, as well as detailed supplements for many locations.

Fang Shiqing took a look and couldn't help but said, "Boss, have you explored so many places in this period of time?"

"Well," Xiao Fengdi pointed out a few special points to him, "These locations are all special mineral deposits, and I can take you to collect them when I have time. There is also this road here, which seems to be impassable now , but I guess it should lead to that 'neighboring town'."

——In the past few days, he has already wandered through the huge underground labyrinth.

Fang Shiqing was surprised and admired, but at the same time a little disappointed.I remember that they had agreed a long time ago that he would help each other deal with various game-related issues, but in fact, even without him, the boss could still quickly adapt to the game world, but he couldn't do without the help of the other party.

It was getting dark gradually, and it was time to fall asleep as usual.

Fang Shiqing took out the pillow and put it on the table in the lounge.

When he came here, he had thought that in the past few days, he would have to fight for the chairs in the lounge and sleep here.Xiao Fengdi had already revealed his sexuality to him, and the two of them could not share the same bed, otherwise it would be embarrassing for everyone.

"Go to sleep in your room." Seeing this, Xiao Fengdi said.

Fang Shiqing's first reaction when he heard the words was that the other party planned to give him the bed and sleep outside, so he quickly refused, "No need to trouble you, I'll just sleep here—"

"No trouble, anyway, I have something to go out at night, the bed is empty," Xiao Fengdi said, "If you really don't want to use my bed, you can sleep outside."

"Are you going out?"

"Yes, I have something to do." He paused and said, "It's some private matters."

In this case, Fang Shiqing had no reason to refuse.

Xiao Fengdi watched him make the bed before leaving, and even closed the door for him when he went out.

Fang Shiqing was already very familiar with this narrow bedroom, after all, he had slept here for a long time.However, from time to time, he is far from being as calm as when he lived here before.

He can't imagine now how he managed to lie in the same bed with Xiao Fengdi a month ago.If it were him now, he would be so excited and ashamed that he couldn't sleep at all all night.

The things in the game are refreshed every two hours. Of course, it is impossible for Xiao Fengdi to have any breath left here, but he still can't calm down.

He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep for an hour or two, had to get up and pour himself some water.

At this time, with the help of the faint light of the bedside lamp, he saw a small humanoid doll on the bedside table——

It was a beautifully carved male puppet.Fang Shiqing found it very familiar, and then recalled that it was something made by Carpenter Wang.

It's like early summer.At that time, Carpenter Wang seemed to have given Xiao Fengdi a pair of male and female dolls, but he didn't expect him to keep them well.

Could it be that the boss actually likes this kind of little decoration?Fang Shiqing stared at it for a while, and felt more and more that this doll looked like himself.

He felt a little happy when he thought that there was a little thing that looked like himself watching Xiao Fengdi fall asleep and wake up every day.

After reacting, he immediately gave himself two slaps again to wake himself up, but now he basically realized that he might not be saved.

He didn't sleep well that night, having nightmares almost all the time.Sometimes I dreamed that I was pushed and thrown into the water, sometimes I dreamed that I was falling in the dark deep sea, and sometimes I dreamed of the enlarged face of the pale water ghost...

He woke up with a start and found that he was covered in cold sweat and his whole body was damp.

It seems that the experience of almost drowning caused a greater psychological shadow than imagined.

He glanced at the time and found that it was time to refresh on the hour, so he temporarily got up and went out, planning to go back to sleep after the refresh.

The library was quiet late at night, Xiao Fengdi turned off all the lights in the corridor before leaving, leaving only one near the workbench.Fang Shiqing was stunned for a while, and suddenly heard a strange sound.

The voice sounded like a woman crying, whimpering, intermittent.It was very subtle at first, and gradually the sound became louder, as if the sound source was getting closer.

Is there any female ghost passing by outside?Fang Shiqing originally thought that if it was a passing ghost, it would stop after a while.As a result, after more than ten minutes, the crying outside not only did not go away, but became clearer, and there were distinguishable sentences mixed with the crying.

"Brother Shiqing,...are you in there? Come out and see me, okay? I have something to tell you..."

After understanding what she was saying, Fang Shiqing finally realized that it was Zhang Yu's voice.

Why does she cry outside most of the night!He couldn't help shaking.

The NPCs in Fengyue Town would not take the initiative to go out at night, and the streets were full of demons dancing wildly, but she was able to appear outside in disregard of the rules. Doesn't this mean that she...is not human at all?

The crying stopped, and her voice came faintly: "If you don't come out again, I will kill him."

--he?who? !

Fang Shiqing felt uneasy.It definitely wasn't Xiao Fengdi, but who else would it be?It can't be her brother, can she be so mad? !

After thinking about it, he finally opened the door a little and looked out.

A white shadow stood far away under the steps, and it really was Zhang Yu.Seen from this position, the corners of her clothes and the tips of her hair are almost transparent, and her skin is terribly white, like a ghost.

In her hands was a limp man with a face exactly like hers, who appeared to be unconscious.

...It really is her brother.Fang Shiqing felt horrified, what was this girl like, could she even kill her own brother in order to chase after a man? !

"Brother Shiqing," Zhang Yu looked up at him with a strange smile.There were still tears on her face, which made her smile look very sad, "Come here, can you get closer to me? I have to have a serious and good talk with you."

"...Forget it, I'm not stupid." Fang Shiqing replied cautiously.There are barriers set up by Xiao Fengdi around the entire library, even if he goes down the steps Zhang Yu can't touch him, but he still doesn't want to die, "Just say what you have to say, I can hear you. "

"--OK then."

Zhang Yu threw the human body in his hand on the ground, wiped away his tears and said, "Tell me, what are you?"

"Ah?" Fang Shiqing was stunned for a moment, "What?"

"Aren't you human?" she asked, "I have already discovered that you outsiders are actually completely different creatures from us, right? He can't understand a lot of our common sense, and your behavior and thinking methods are also different from human beings." no the same.

"I don't understand why everyone can't perceive your problems, but I know that you are definitely not human...Brother Shiqing, can you tell me what 'what' are you? Are you the aliens mentioned in the book? "

As she spoke, she shed tears again.

"Just tell me, I won't tell others, I just want to know...Brother Shiqing, I really like him very much, but he looks at me like we look at other animals. He It's completely different when facing you, because you are the same kind right? What are you?"

"..."

Fang Shiqing figured out what she meant, but became increasingly speechless.

She...why can she recognize the difference between players and NPCs?This is not an ability that NPCs should have. NPCs should just follow the established procedures, shouldn't they be able to distinguish these?Unless she mutated, or... her current reaction was programmed long ago.

From the perspective of native NPCs, NPCs like herself are "human beings", and players from the outside world are abnormal creatures, which is not difficult to understand.The question is, how does he explain the truth of the matter?Do you want to tell her directly, "You are just a virtual program, we are the real human beings"?

"Speak up!" Zhang Yu screamed, "Just tell me, at least let me know, otherwise I can't give up no matter what, I really like him very much!"

"..." Fang Shiqing finally could only say, "You'd better not ask, there are some things, it's better not to know."

He silently closed the door of the library. Zhang Yu's heart-piercing cries came from outside the door, and he could only pretend that he didn't hear it.
