A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Fang Shiqing pushed the trolley and started running again.The icy wind was blowing, and quickly wiped away the burnt embers.

After passing by the forester's hut next to the forest farm, he chose to go down to the foot of the mountain in the north to continue exploring, because he had walked this road more than once and was relatively impressed.

However, as he walked, he found that this map seemed different from the neighboring town in reality—no, it was very different.

He seemed to be on a path he had never seen before.

This seemed to be a remote side street, no matter which side it was, it was quiet and dark.The house looks old-fashioned, not like a residential area in a neighboring town, but more like an old house in Fengyue Town.

Things have come to this point, he can't retreat, so he has no choice but to bite the bullet and walk forward on the unfamiliar road.

There are still snowflakes in the sky.Before he knew it, Fang Shiqing's clothes were refreshed as before, and he realized that it was already one o'clock in the morning.

Just over an hour had passed since Xiao Fengdi fell into a coma, but he was living a dangerous life, which could be said to be like years.

Because of the unfamiliar environment, he had to slow down and walk cautiously along the street, and gradually realized something was wrong: the road seemed to be too long, just like a video clip that was constantly playing in loop.

He began to carefully observe the buildings on both sides, and soon determined that the surrounding houses were indeed just scrolling textures, but the lights from the windows of different houses seemed to be somewhat different.

He tried to get close to a window and stood on tiptoe to look in.

Inside is a small living room, which is very warmly furnished and looks like an ordinary family room. The bright yellow fluorescent lamps fill the whole room with a warm tone.

However, at the same time, there was a strange mist flowing in the room, causing the light to be slightly distorted occasionally.From the outside, it looks very unreal.

A tall, thin and beautiful woman was fiddling with the plates on the table.She didn't look well, as if she had just recovered from a long illness, her brows were tightly furrowed.

Her appearance was almost carved out of the same mold as Zhang Yu's brother and sister.Fang Shiqing had a feeling that she and the siblings must be related by blood.

The door of the living room opened, and store manager Zhang dragged a little boy into the hall.The boy looked only four or five years old, as delicate as a doll.When the woman saw him, she forced a smile, but the resentment on her face became deeper and deeper.

Fang Shiqing could only see the picture outside the window, but could not hear the sound, but he still had a vague idea in his heart:

This kid is Zhang Yu, right?

The light in the living room dimmed, like the curtain on a stage.This message ends here.

Now that Fang Shiqing, a proficient player, still doesn't understand, he immediately went to the next window and continued to look inside——

Many games will use this method like "memory fragments" to explain the background story.Memory killing is often triggered by finding specific props or reaching a specific scene, which is similar in nature to the diary that can be picked up everywhere in the previous dungeon.

According to previous experience, the memories here are probably related to the cracking method of the final copy, so Fang Shiqing put in 12 points of energy.

The scene in the second window is still the living room, but the picture has become more hazy, like looking at flowers through fog.

The beautiful woman was still sitting at the dining table, twiddling her fingers anxiously.After a while, another four or five-year-old child came in from outside with a sweet smile on his face.

This time the child is wearing a small skirt, and his temperament is very similar to Zhang Yu.

Seeing her, the woman's face became very strange, as if she was a little guilty and a little nervous.But Zhang Yu lay on her knee without noticing, as if he was acting like a baby to her.

Fang Shiqing noticed a detail: the little girl's feet were translucent, and she seemed to be bouncing while walking, but she was actually floating.

...she is not human.

She really wasn't human.Fang Shiqing took a deep breath. From this point of view, she should be a ghost, right?

That's all for this window.The scene in the next window finally changed, and moved to what looked like a children's bedroom, with many fairy tale books on the back shelf.

A little boy carved in jade—that is, Zhang Yu, was kneeling on the carpet, picking up toys scattered all over the floor.He looked a little older, about seven or eight years old.

At this time, a little girl in a white dress who looked exactly like him floated in from behind the wall, covering his eyes with her translucent hands.

The boy and the ghost girl laughed and huddled together, looking like normal twins.

Not long after, the woman—from now on, she should be Zhang Yu and Zhang Yu's mother—walked in from the outside.

Seeing two children, one person and one ghost, her expression suddenly became complicated.Fang Shiqing couldn't read her specific emotions, but at least he could see that she was quite dissatisfied with this harmonious status quo.

She still looked very weak, and she even reached out to cover her chest after seeing the picture in front of her, looking a little painful.

Going to the fourth window, the scene has changed again.

The whole space was extremely distorted, and Fang Shiqing finally figured out that this was another bedroom with a simple style.The light in the room was extraordinarily bright, as if it was daytime.

The woman was lying on the bed, her face was pale, and her anger was like gossamer. Manager Zhang sat on the bed and held her hand tightly.

There were a few men and women with their backs to this side in the room, who looked like doctors and nurses, shaking their heads one after another.

Fang Shiqing guessed that the woman must be suffering from some serious disease, which has reached the point where it cannot be cured.

After a while, the paramedics left.Zhang Yu came in from the outside, looking very depressed; at this time he was about twelve or thirteen years old, and his beautiful appearance had not yet grown.

Manager Zhang patted the woman on the hospital bed, got up and dragged Zhang Yu to the corner.What he said to Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu was taken aback, and quickly waved his hand to refuse, but the store manager refused to give up, pulled him and said a lot, and finally almost begged.

Even though the picture is very blurry, Fang Shiqing can still see Zhang Yu's embarrassment.However, he finally nodded.

At the fifth window, Fang Shiqing was startled as soon as he probed, and quickly looked away——

This seems to be Zhang Yu's bedroom. At this time, he is changing clothes with his back to the window.

He took off his normal clothes, and took out a brand new...long skirt from the depths of the cabinet.

Fang Shiqing looked away, and when he looked back again, the other party had already changed his disguise. At first glance, he thought it was Zhang Yu who was standing there.

Zhang Yu was originally delicate, but now that he is young, his sexuality is not obvious, and he is almost like a girl when he dresses up.He stood in front of the mirror and looked at it for a while, sighed faintly, and started to walk outside the room.

In the sixth window, the scene returns to the master bedroom where the woman is lying, and this time the picture becomes clearer.

Store Manager Zhang was still holding his wife's hand, talking to her non-stop, and his eyes were blushing uncontrollably.And the woman on the bed seemed to have fallen into a semi-consciousness, her eyes had already started to cloud.

The door slowly opened, and a beautiful girl in a long skirt walked in from the outside.

——It’s Zhang Yu.And her shadow is cast on the ground, which means that she is no longer a ghost, but has a body, a "human"...or some other special creature.

Fang Shiqing was very puzzled.

This is definitely not Zhang Yu's women's clothing, he can be sure.Twelve or thirteen-year-old boys are still thin and small, but girls have already started to smoke. At this time, Zhang Yu is obviously plump and taller than her brother.

She walked lightly to the bed, bent down and touched her mother.The woman opened her eyes slightly, and when she saw her, a light of incomparable joy suddenly bloomed on her face... I don't know what I saw on her.

The screen stopped abruptly.

These are the only windows with information, and everything else is pitch black.

The amount of information revealed by these windows is considerable.Fang Shiqing even observed and supplemented his brain, and felt that the whole story was roughly like this:

Zhang Yu and Zhang Yu are twin brothers and sisters, but the younger sister Zhang Yu died early and became a ghost, who can only come back at night to meet her mother and brother.Later, her mother was sick and was about to die, and her only wish was to see her daughter, but it was daytime, so Zhang Yu had no choice but to put on women's clothes and pretend to be her younger sister...

There are actually some unexplainable logical problems in this guess.For example, if Zhang Yu died when she was very young, then her age should have been frozen at the moment of death, and she would always maintain the appearance of a child. Why did she always look the same age as Zhang Yu?

Also, the logic between those last two windows is confusing.Zhang Yu in women's clothing went out, why did Zhang Yu enter later?Could it be that the killing of memories in these windows is from the perspective of the mother?

Most importantly, how did Zhang Yu change from a ghost to a living person?

After thinking about it, he still felt that he must have made a mistake.

He didn't dare to stay on this road for too long, so after watching every short video clearly, he pushed the car again and walked forward.

When he continued to move forward, he habitually touched Xiao Fengdi again, and opened the other party's status bar to take a look.

Xiao Fengdi's stamina has long since returned to full, and all the values ​​have returned to the peak state, but the small icon behind the name does not show any signs of disappearing.

When will he wake up?

Fang Shiqing refused to think about the possibility that "he might never wake up again".First, no lethal drugs were sold in the black market, and second, he didn't believe that the other party would die here because of such a small problem.

Compared with the bosses of the previous dungeons, Zhang Yu's situation of using the water ghost's water to kill him, and buying medicine first before using the knife to kill him is simply weak. It's capsized here.

The snow seems to be getting smaller.The sky cleared up slightly, and the moon also showed a corner from behind the clouds.

This is not a good thing for them. After the snow stops, the footprints and ruts will leave obvious traces. If the boss finds out, it will be over.

Fang Shiqing thought worriedly.

As he was walking, he suddenly stepped on the ground in a flicker, and he tripped and fell on the trolley, almost overturning the trolley.

This really frightened him a lot: After entering the game, his balance ability has been greatly enhanced due to the occupation of a farmer. It has been a long time since such a thing like tripping happened.

What was under your feet just now?He jumped up and looked around, and suddenly realized that at that moment, the surrounding scene had quietly changed——

The surrounding houses are no longer monotonously arranged, but have become bare two rows of street trees.At the end of the road directly ahead stands a statue, and behind it is a tall teaching building——

Fang Shiqing had seen this road before from afar.

This is the vestibule of the school in the neighboring town, and the location where they are at this time is exactly the Maple Leaf Road that Xiao Fengdi once said to come and see.
