A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Xiao Fengdi stood at the door, quietly looking at the empty yard, motionless for a long time, as if he had turned into a stone statue.

With his back facing this side, Fang Shiqing couldn't see his expression, but just looking at the other person's back, he felt a strong sense of loneliness for some reason——

Boss, does he... know anyone who lives there?

He thought of the bartender in Fengyue Bar again.After the player dies, it is possible that the data extracted by the game will become an NPC—is it possible that the person living there is an old acquaintance of the other party in reality?

Fang Shiqing walked out the door hesitantly, and walked towards the other party step by step.On the one hand, he felt that the other party might not want to be disturbed by him while doing private affairs, but on the other hand, he had an urge to go to the other party's side and talk to him, at least to break the lonely atmosphere.

When he was still more than ten meters away from the opponent, Xiao Fengdi suddenly moved and turned his head abruptly.

Fang Shiqing was caught off guard, and the two looked at each other all of a sudden.He panicked immediately, and didn't even know where to put his eyes for a while, so he finally opened his mouth and greeted stiffly: "Boss, what a coincidence, you're here too?"

Xiao Fengdi pursed his lips tightly, the expression on his face was definitely not happy.After a while, he said, "Why are you here?"

His attitude is very cold.Fang Shiqing was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you...Well, I was just passing by. I just came out of the community center opposite."

"Ah."

Xiao Fengdi just responded indifferently, then turned his head, "I'm leaving."

Fang Shiqing didn't know what to say, he couldn't stop people from asking what he was doing here.Watching the other party leave quickly again, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and couldn't help but secretly cursed himself for being insane: It's already like this, shouldn't he take the initiative to keep a distance from him?

He stood dejectedly for a while, then looked up again, only to find that Xiao Fengdi actually went back and forth, and came back to him again.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

The other party's face was still gloomy.He stared at Fang Shiqing for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Are you cold?"

"Now? It's okay now..." Fang Shiqing suddenly remembered, "Boss, thank you for your clothes. Without a coat, I would be too cold."

The other party looked at his face flushed by the north wind, raised his hand to untie his scarf, and wrapped it around his neck.Fang Shiqing was taken aback, and when he was about to refuse, he was unquestionably blocked: "Don't move."

He adjusted the scarf in twos and threes, and then his expression finally softened a little.

Half of Fang Shiqing's face was wrapped in the scarf, only a pair of eyes were exposed.Now the wind couldn't blow his face, but the uncomfortable energy in his heart surged exponentially.

Why did Xiao Fengdi have to treat him so well?Why?

"You, if you give this to me, you will be useless." He whispered, "It's better to return it to you..."

"You stay around, I'm not cold." Xiao Fengdi looked down at him, and said again, "I'm leaving first."

"……Um."

The other party really walked away this time.Fang Shiqing was in a daze for a long time. After a long time, he raised his hand to grab the scarf, and suddenly felt like crying.

After a while, Fang Shiqing planned to go back to the entrance of the flower and bird market.After walking a few steps, there was a sound from the house behind; the door opened and someone came out.

Fang Shiqing looked back.

The one who went out to the garden was a middle-aged man who seemed to be the owner of the house.He was tall, with a serious expression, and he was carrying a semi-finished stone statue about a foot high in his hand—it looked familiar, and it seemed to be the kind of statue sold in the shop to ward off evil spirits.

However, Fang Shiqing's attention was completely attracted the moment he saw the male protagonist's face, and he had no energy left to pay attention to anything else.

This male NPC, his appearance...is 20% similar to Xiao Fengdi!It is simply the imaginary model of Xiao Fengdi [-] years later.Even the aura that came out of a martial arts movie of the last century is exactly the same, and this one's aura is even more mellow.

If the two of them stood side by side, most people would think that they were related by blood, even father and son.

...or is this simply true?

Fang Shiqing's mind was in a mess.Speaking of which, he knew almost nothing about Xiao Fengdi's personal affairs, and even less about his family, he only knew that he was from a family of exorcists.So, is it possible... is it possible that his family also participated in this game and did not survive in the end?

Will there be such a coincidence?

The male host put the stone statue in the yard, then took out the carving knife, and started busy tinkling.

After a few minutes, the door opened again.A bright-looking young woman jumped down the steps with a thick leather coat in her arms, and ran over to put the clothes on the shoulders of the host; this was probably the hostess.

The couple stood together, talking intimately and in a low voice, which looked like a picture scroll from a distance.Fang Shiqing was in a trance unconsciously: they are simply the most loving couple in line with the world's imagination.

"Brother Fang? Brother Fang, what are you looking at?"

Zhang Yu didn't know when he got behind him, shouted several times, and then complained, "Why did you run out? Let me find it easier."

"Sorry, I have a little problem..."

Although he felt that it was impossible to obtain effective information, Fang Shiqing asked one more question, "Well, do you know this family?"

When asked, he didn't hold out much hope.Unexpectedly, upon hearing what he said, Zhang Yu's face immediately changed slightly.

"...You don't really know each other, do you?"

"..." Zhang Yu lowered his head with a conflicted expression.

At this time, if the question was about other matters, Fang Shiqing would probably stop talking on his own initiative.But at this time, he insisted on asking in a strange way: "Can you tell me?"

Zhang Yu hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind.He said softly: "Okay, Brother Fang, I don't want to lie to you.... Can you promise not to tell this matter? At least don't let others know, I told you. "

"I promise, just tell me." Fang Shiqing's heart suddenly rose.

"Well. I do know them." Zhang Yu glanced at the house. At this time, the host was standing at the door and talking into the house, completely ignoring the two outsiders standing outside the courtyard.

"The reason why I know this place is because my father and I have visited this family before. Did you see that thing?"

He pointed to the half-finished statue placed there by the male owner, "Don't you think it is very similar to the statue of the town house we bought in the store?"

"You mean..."

"Hmm. Did I tell you before? Those talisman seals and other things are all custom-made from the neighboring town. ——In fact, they are custom-made from here; in the whole neighboring town, only this family can make those things."

"—"

Fang Shiqing was speechless for a moment.

Not everyone can make talisman seals. People who have this ability are mostly spirit removers.

He recalled many details at once. Xiao Fengdi once looked at the spells in the grocery store in a daze, and the spells he drew were exactly the same as those in the store; Xiao Fengdi always wanted to know the source of these spells. After stalking the store manager from time to time, he acted particularly distraught...

All of this points to the speculation that is as dramatic as a TV series.

Could this be true?

Xiao Fengdi... The boss's family members are also included in this game and turned into NPCs?

"Brother Fang? What's wrong with you?" Zhang Yu frowned slightly and looked at him, "What are you thinking? I only told you about our purchase channels because I trusted you. Don't turn around and steal my business."

"Yeah." Fang Shiqing replied absent-mindedly.

"Then, shall we go? Go to dinner?"

"Ah."

All his nerves were focused on this matter, and he had no energy left to think about anything else. Zhang Yu pulled him along the road, and he didn't even know where he was going.

If this is true...

He felt guilty for prying into other people's privacy, Xiao Fengdi never mentioned this matter, he definitely didn't want to be known.However, knowing this, he still inquired about it by insinuating, just because it was related to the other party, which made him feel self-loathing inevitably.

When standing outside that courtyard and looking in, what was Xiao Fengdi thinking in his heart?On the 1st of Qiuyue, there was a hug between them. At that time, the other party was almost desperate. Thinking about it now, he must have seen the people in the yard that day.At that time, what kind of mood did he have?

He can't imagine.Think about it for yourself, if you see your dead father appearing in front of you, he can move, laugh and talk, but you know that it is just a fake electronic product, you will be crazy.

Zhang Yu led Fang Shiqing back to the commercial street.

The two entered a busy restaurant and waited in line for about 10 to [-] minutes. During this period, Zhang Yu asked him a little anxiously if he would be impatient for waiting too long. Fang Shiqing just shook his head. At other times, the two were basically silent. .

After sitting down, Zhang Yu finally couldn't bear it any longer: "Brother Fang, what are you thinking? You have been distracted since just now. Did something happen while I was away?"

"Uh... sorry."

When I was with my friends, I was distracted all the time. This is too much to say, Fang Shiqing can only apologize.However, he really couldn't bring his thoughts back to the present; his mind was full of Xiao Fengdi's affairs, only Xiao Fengdi's affairs.

It was originally agreed that he would pay the bill, so he went out to buy a package of dim sum after ordering, as an apology.

Zhang Yu looked a little depressed, but didn't say much during the meal.

After the two finished their lunch in silence, Fang Shiqing said goodbye to him: "Then I'll go over there to do some shopping, be careful on the way."

"So fast?...It's still early, can't you stay with me for a while?"

"Sorry, I still have something to do." In addition to going to the black market, he also needs to be alone and sober.

Zhang Yu didn't answer immediately, but tilted his head, looking a little sad.

"Brother Fang, you... What happened to you? I feel that you have something on your mind, can you tell me, maybe I can help you. "

"Thank you, but I'm afraid not."

Fang Shiqing smiled wryly, how could he explain this to the NPC.

"Anyway, I'm going first...huh?"

When he turned to leave, Zhang Yu grabbed his arm abruptly.

"what happened?"

Zhang Yu tilted her head to look at him, and suddenly smiled softly: "How should I put it, it's a feeling... Xiaoyu used to think that my expectations for love were too illusory, and she always said that love is such a thing. , It can only be obtained by robbing. I used to think that what she said was wrong, but now I feel that there seems to be nothing wrong. Some things, if you don’t grab them hard, it is probably really impossible to get them. "

"--What do you mean?"

Fang Shiqing suddenly became vigilant.When it comes to "the person they like", isn't the brother and sister looking at Xiao Fengdi? Now that he said such words without thinking, is he implying something?Did he discover something?

"Nothing, really, just a feeling."

Zhang Yu squeezed his arm for the last time, then slowly let go, then took out two notes and waved them in front of him.

Fang Shiqing was stunned: Those turned out to be two movie tickets.

Does the neighboring town even have a movie theater? !

He seems to be talking to himself: "This is a love movie that suits my aesthetics, but I can't watch it now. Maybe that's okay, maybe..."

Fang Shiqing was still waiting to question, but Zhang Yu turned around like sleepwalking, and walked away in the blink of an eye.
