A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

"—Boss?"

This happened too suddenly.

Fang Shiqing was unprepared for this: even in his worst dreams, he never imagined such a scenario.Right in front of him, Xiao Fengdi fell silently and fell to the ground.

"—Brother Xiao?"

no answer.Xiao Fengdi's eyes were closed tightly, as if he had fallen into a coma.

Really, it was too sudden.The corridor was not wide, and Xiao Fengdi was almost right in front of him when he fell down, but he didn't even have time to help him, he just grabbed the hem of his clothes belatedly.

After being stunned for a second, an extremely sudden panic seized Fang Shiqing violently.

What the hell is going on, what happened to him?what happened?Could it be that he... no, he won't.Absolutely not.

His first reaction was to take out the recovery potion, but this time it didn't work.This is not an abnormal condition caused by trauma.

Or... is it too late?

He stretched out his trembling hand to touch the other person, turned Xiao Fengdi over, and groped for his wrist.

... His breathing and pulse are normal, his physique is excellent, his heartbeat is very steady, there is no sign of disorder, and his breathing is very gentle——

It was as if the whole person had just fallen asleep suddenly.

At least he was alive and well, not... the worst case.

Fang Shiqing slumped on the ground, heaved a sigh of relief, and the cold sweat finally rolled down.He was finally able to think a little calmly: The boss seems not to be in danger for the time being, but what's going on?

There was no problem with the other party's appearance, except for his breath and heartbeat, his body temperature did not change.Fang Shiqing tried to call his name, patted his shoulder and arm, but he still didn't respond.

It stands to reason that even a sleeping person would have a corresponding reflex when touched repeatedly, but he doesn't have it now.He seemed to have lost all consciousness.

——This is a game, and it is impossible for players to suddenly have any intractable diseases.Could Xiao Fengdi's current problem be caused by some monsters?

This was beyond Fang Shiqing's ability to solve it, and he was a little distracted for a while.If this was the real world, of course he would immediately call 120 for professionals to deal with, but here, in the game, in this neighboring town where there are only two players of them, who else can he ask for help, NPC?

Speaking of which...why didn't the NPC come over to see the situation?He just repeatedly called Xiao Fengdi's name for a long time, the voice was not low, enough to quarrel the people on the first floor.

He sensed something ominous.The entire homestay was silent, almost dead silent, as if no one else was there at all.

In a panic, he suddenly thought of one thing.

In the autumn, his "identification" skill was actually upgraded to another level, and it seemed that he had added the function of viewing other people's status bar - of course, with the other party's permission.

Because he had been alone on the farm at the time, he hadn't tried this new feature, but it might come in handy now.

Xiao Fengdi is still in a coma, and he doesn't know if it can be done in this situation.Fang Shiqing grabbed the opponent's hand like a dead horse, and almost at the first second of using the skill, Xiao Fengdi's status bar popped up in front of him.

On the panel, almost all the basic attributes are off the charts.His upper limit of health and stamina are several times higher than Fang Shiqing's. His health is full, and his stamina is more than half. The only thing worth noting is that next to the player's name, there is a strange purple-black icon floating.

Fang Shiqing concluded that it was a debuff sign.This thing is probably the culprit of this matter.

Could it be that some monster did something special to the boss?what to do?

In any case, you can't just leave the fainted person outside like this.He had no choice but to temporarily move the other party into the room, and then go out by himself to see if he could find NPCs for help.

Xiao Fengdi was very heavy and taller than him, so it was quite difficult to carry it. Fang Shiqing didn't want him to bump into it, so it took a lot of effort to drag him into his room and lay him flat on the bed.

During the period, the opponent remained motionless, like an inanimate object.This made him uneasy, so he just held the other person's wrist and felt the pulse all the time; only the basic signs of life could give him some peace of mind.

Xiao Fengdi lay there quietly.No matter who it was, they seemed so vulnerable and defenseless when they lost consciousness; Fang Shiqing was a little worried, but he couldn't move Xiao Fengdi out by himself, so he could only put him here temporarily.

He walked to the door.When he opened the half-open door, he was shocked on the spot:

Standing outside the door was an acquaintance—a girl in white.The other party turned his back to the dim skylight and looked at him with a smile on his face. Because of the lack of light, his expression looked very strange.

It turned out to be Zhang Yu.

——Didn't she never come to the neighboring town at all, why is she here?

"Brother Shiqing..." The corner of her mouth curled into a mischievous smile, "It's been a while... huh??"

Fang Shiqing slammed the door shut, quickly locked it, and turned around to block it with his back.

There was knocking and vibration on the door behind him, accompanied by Zhang Yu's exasperated shout: "What are you doing! Why did you see me...Brother Shiqing, open the door, why are you doing this to me? !"

Because I'm not that stupid, Fang Shi said with a clear heart.

This time Zhang Yu didn't come to the neighboring town at all, why did he appear suddenly?Now that she is tossing so much, why is there still no NPC to come out to take a look?Combined with the current situation of the boss, Zhang Yu's specious words before... It would be strange if this matter had nothing to do with her.

Xiao Fengdi once said that Zhang Yu is not a human being, but a special kind of monster.

The door was smashed loudly, Fang Shiqing was worried, but there was nothing in the room that could plug the door.Fortunately, this is a game, and the "door" represents the switching of scenes, so it is not so easy to break open.

"Let me in, brother Shiqing, let me in!" Zhang Yu's voice became more and more sharp, it could be called a sonic attack, "Is he inside right? He's passed out now, and the situation is very bad, yes Right?! I want to see him, you let me see him, now only I can help him. If you don’t let me see him, you will definitely regret it!”

——She means, can she wake up the boss?Fang Shiqing's heart skipped a beat, and he looked up at Xiao Fengdi who was lying on the bed.

Of course, what Zhang Yu said cannot be believed directly, but it is related to Xiao Fengdi, so he must ask clearly.

"Do you know what happened to him?"

As soon as he spoke, the noise outside the door stopped abruptly.Two or three seconds later, Zhang Yu said, "Let me in first, and then I'll talk to you."

"You explain clearly before I consider whether to let you in," Fang Shiqing said, "Sorry, you have a criminal record."

There was a moment of silence outside the door: "I can't explain to you. Don't delay any longer. I like him so much that I won't hurt him. Are you trying to kill him like this?"

Fang Shiqing didn't think that Zhang Yu would murder Xiao Fengdi, but... how should I put it, the current state of Xiao Fengdi is completely at the mercy of others.What if she's trying to... be obsessed with sex, or something like that?He now feels that Zhang Yu is capable of anything.

So far, this game has no pornographic content, but there is no guarantee that something will appear, after all, this thing has not passed the review of the Cultural Affairs Bureau.

"You should at least tell me who is doing him a disservice. If it wasn't your fault, who made him look like this?"

Zhang Yu was quiet for a while, and said hesitantly, "Yes... yes, it's my brother."

"—Zhang Yu?"

"Well, it's him." Zhang Yu seemed to have made up his mind and spoke smoothly, "You know my brother has always been hostile to him, so..."

"Hostile?" Zhang Yu is very hostile to the boss?Hate out of love? ...but that's beside the point.

"Then, what did Zhang Yu do to him?"

Zhang Yu is different from Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu seems to be just an ordinary human being.How did he make Xiao Fengdi unconscious?

"Well... my brother, he must have prepared a special medicine, which is colorless and tasteless. After taking it, people will lose consciousness first, then the body will collapse, and finally..."

Fang Shiqing was terrified when he heard that, if love gave birth to hatred, how much hatred would it be.

"My brother, he mixed the medicine directly into the dinner. Not only him, but almost everyone living here took it. Now everyone is in danger." Hearing that he has been silent, Zhang Yu quickly said, " Brother Shi Qing, I have the antidote here, let me in quickly, or it will be too late!"

What she said could indeed explain why the other NPCs didn't respond.But Fang Shiqing was even more suspicious: "Why do you know this? Why is there an antidote? After all, why are you here?"

"This... I, I just have a hunch that my brother is going to make a serious mistake, that's all! I always trust my intuition, so I came here, and it turned out that it was really... "

She sniffed and cried a little, "I got the antidote from my brother, Brother Shiqing, only this time, you must trust me! Otherwise...it will be too late!"

No, just the fact that she suddenly appeared in a neighboring town was already suspicious enough to explode.And as he was talking, Fang Shiqing suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered another incident that happened in the afternoon.

"Then, where did the medicine he used come from? Poison and medicine should not be available to normal people." He deliberately softened his tone a little, showing a skeptical attitude.

"Brother Shiqing, you don't know that you can buy everything here in the neighboring town," Zhang Yu said eagerly, "If you can't buy it on the street, go to the store, and if you can't buy it in the store, go to the black market. There is everything in the black market." My brother might have bought it on the black market."

"—oh, the black market."

Fang Shiqing said, "Speaking of which, I seemed to see you in the black market this afternoon."

"..."

Inside and outside the door, the two fell into absolute silence for a moment.

Zhang Yu didn't make a sound for a long time, so Fang Shiqing continued: "I saw you, you are in the inner area of ​​the black market, right? In fact, it wasn't your brother who went there to buy medicines, but you. You used to be in the neighborhood I went to school here in the town, so I probably know the black market very well."

There was a slight rustling sound outside the door, as if the other party was rubbing the ground uneasily: "No, no, I didn't..."

"However, it was your brother who cooked the food today, not you, so he was the one who put the medicine in the food. This is something you guys worked together, right?"

Fang Shiqing basically figured it out.That afternoon, he once saw a familiar figure passing by in the alleys of the black market, and that was Zhang Yu; at that time, he thought that Zhang Yu could not appear in the neighboring town and denied his idea, but now it seems that he The first reaction was correct.

Today, Zhang Yu once expressed the idea that "maybe Xiaoyu is right...", the two of them may indeed cooperate.

Although I don't understand what they are planning, and I don't know why Zhang Yu can come to the neighboring town, in short, the events should be close to each other.

"...that is to say," Zhang Yu finally spoke, his voice was very soft, "you won't let me in no matter what, right?"

"Yes," Fang Shiqing breathed out, "I don't know what your purpose is, but I know that the sale of anything that can hurt people's lives is prohibited in the inner part of the black market."

In the afternoon, he saw the regulations of the black market, which stated that the sale of poisons, medicines, and lethal weapons in the inner area was prohibited-probably to prevent players from making war fortunes, or NPCs buying them to harm others.

If the medicine Zhang Yu used was really bought from the inner area, it would be sleeping pills or hallucinogenic drugs at most, and it is impossible to have a lethal dose.That being the case, of course it was impossible for him to let Zhang Yu in, lest she pose a further threat to the two people in the room.

"……alright, I got it."

After finishing speaking, the sound of footsteps gradually going away came from outside the door.

Fang Shiqing couldn't believe it for a moment, she just left?He didn't dare to open the door to check, so he listened for a while, and there was indeed no sound outside.

According to her, Zhang Yu added some kind of drug to the dinner that would make people lose consciousness temporarily.Most of the NPCs, including Store Manager Zhang and Uncle Zhang, had eaten dinner and should have passed out by now. He might not be able to find anyone to help him in the B&B.

Unless he went outside... But, in that case, Xiao Fengdi would have to stay here by himself.The door can only be locked from the inside, and cannot be locked from the outside. What if Zhang Yu goes back after he leaves?

He couldn't make up his mind again, so he had no choice but to go back to Xiao Fengdi and check his status bar again.The opponent's state is very stable, the health value has not changed at all, but the endurance value has recovered a little.

The snow outside seems to be a lot smaller, and the light is getting better.At this time, a faint shadow was projected on him——

Fang Shiqing raised his head and looked out of the window, and immediately screamed in fright, and staggered:

A figure hangs outside the window.

Zhang Yu grinned at him, swung his arm vigorously, and smashed the window glass with a snap of his elbow.

"I'm coming in, Brother Shiqing." It said with a smile.
