A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Fang Shiqing felt intense dizziness, and he didn't know if it was the negative effect of the dungeon transmission or a psychological effect.

He subconsciously leaned back, Xiao Fengdi hugged his waist, and stood firmly.After a few seconds, the surrounding scene returned to normal, the nauseating dizziness passed, and the players returned to the Fengyue Lake where they started.

For a moment no one spoke.Almost all the awake people looked at Gu Jinhong with complicated eyes, and the puppet guarding him sensed the hostility and showed extra restlessness.

"I'm sorry," Gu Jinhong stood up and said, "I'm sorry for causing danger to you. But I have nothing to regret, because all this is just following the trend. I will still choose this way again. Excuse me. What's the matter? If not, I'll go back first."

"You—" You Qingyu helped Zeng Xin who was still awake, and was shocked by him, "Don't you feel that you are too cold-blooded! What is the difference between this kind of behavior and intentional murder? Are you not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door at night? !"

"Maybe I'm afraid, but I have no other choice." Gu Jinhong glanced at her, "Of course, I don't want you to have an accident either. But if it's necessary, I won't hesitate."

He acted too calmly, causing others to be unable to say anything for a while.

"Because I really want to go back to the real world," he said softly, "I will do anything to get back alive."

"But, aren't you afraid that others will hate you?" Zhao Jun interjected, probably remembering what happened before, "There are only a few of us here, so aren't you afraid of being isolated and guarded by us as enemies?"

"No, because you can't hurt me. None of you are capable of harming others," Gu Jinhong smiled slightly, and said slowly, "And the game is about to end. It doesn't matter anymore."

He turned to leave, and the puppet froze for a while before hastily following.

It wasn't until he disappeared that others gradually came back to their senses.He Xiangwu felt annoyed when he found out, "How can he be so shameless?"

"God knows. Anyway, there really isn't much left in the game, so let's just leave him alone." You Qingyu realized that Zeng Xin seemed to be waking up, so he hurried to take care of her.

Zeng Xin looked weak when she woke up, she couldn't even stand up.She basically didn't remember what happened when she was possessed, she only had a vague impression that she almost became a murderer, and she wanted to hold Fang Shiqing and cry bitterly.

It was a bit difficult for You Qingyu to carry a person, but He Xiangwu volunteered to help, and the two of them also supported Zeng Xin and left, leaving only Zhao Jun standing beside him in embarrassment.

"Is there anything else you want?" Fang Shiqing felt a little strange.

"Ah, it's actually not a big deal..." Zhao Jun looked at the hands he and Xiao Fengdi held together, silently closed his eyes and said quickly, "I found this in the dungeon, I'll give it to you."

He brought out a large plastic basin filled with water, and inside it were several koi carps, large and small, which looked pretty good.

"...Why is there such a thing in the dungeon?"

"I don't know either," Zhao Jun said, "In short, I caught them by the lake. The lake in the dungeon is full of these things. If you catch them, you will be sure. I can't keep them, so I'll give them to you. I'll wait a few days for them to come back." Let's go to your place to pick and see if there is anything that can be sold, okay?"

"Oh fine."

Fang Shiqing took the basin and put it away, and then Zhao Jun immediately said goodbye and left without staying for a minute.

Only him and Xiao Fengdi were left by the lake.

It is not yet six o'clock in the morning, and the eastern sky has just turned white.Fang Shiqing shook his head to wake himself up, then turned around and said, "Boss, then I'll go back to the farm too...?"

Xiao Fengdi opened his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Boss? What's the matter?"

"It's nothing," the other party's breath pressed against his face, and said softly, "Let me hug you for a while."

"……Um."

In fact, both of them are still wet now, so hugging each other is not comfortable.But Fang Shiqing didn't want to refuse.

He could feel the heavy emotion conveyed from the other party.The other party may care more about his life and death than himself, and worry more than himself when something happens.

So he raised his hand and hugged him back.

"I'm fine," he whispered, "I've been saved by you."

"En." After a while, the other party responded softly.

"I am still alive and well, and we are still together well."

"--Um."

In any case, the dungeon passed smoothly this time, and they were one step closer to going home.

Fang Shiqing felt that there would probably not be another dungeon, but this kind of thing was uncertain. In order to speed up the process, he thought, he had to work harder and harder to make money quickly.

So after calming down, he still planned to go back to the farm as soon as possible.It was another day, and there was still a lot of work waiting for him.

But Xiao Fengdi also planned to go back with him, which surprised him very much.

"But, boss, aren't you going to work in the library today?"

"It's fine to ask for leave. Anyway, there is no money and no job for a day." Xiao Fengdi's attitude was very decisive. "Going to your place may help you earn a little more."

What he said was not unreasonable, Fang Shiqing had no reason to refuse.In this way, the two returned to Qingliang Farm together.

Fang Shiqing asked Xiao Fengdi to help irrigate the farmland, while he went to take care of the animals on the farm first.The weather was fine today. He opened the doors of the chicken coop and the livestock house, let the animals out, and was busy touching eggs, shearing sheep, putting the koi he brought back into the pond, and then feeding them.

Now the size of the sheep flock is very impressive, and each shearing has to be busy for a while.

Among all the sheep, the one who likes to bite the hem of his clothes the most is undoubtedly the original shaking sheep.Probably because there are too many of its kind now, it has diverted a lot of its own attention, and now it deliberately gnaws on his clothes almost every day, which brings a lot of trouble to work.

He ran around the huts, almost always being caught sight of as he moved.He looked back at Xiao Fengdi from time to time, and every time he could meet the other person's eyes, it was obvious that the other party had been paying attention to him.

Xiao Hei ran out of its den, whining and whining, went to rub Fang Shiqing first, and after Fang Shiqing filled him up with dog food, he ran to find Xiao Fengdi to have fun, Fang Shiqing laughed for a while.

Xiao Fengdi is very familiar with agricultural water pumps, and his work efficiency is much higher than his.By the time he cleaned all the sheared wool, the large farmland had basically been watered.

In the game, there is no work such as weeding and fertilizing, just watering.

The sun had just risen in the sky, and it was not yet nine o'clock.

It's just in time to go back to work in the library.Fang Shiqing simply packed up his things and went back with Xiao Fengdi; if possible, at this time, he did not want to be separated from him at all.

After all, he has just experienced a life-and-death crisis. At this time, everyone wants to spend as long as possible with the person they like.

Fang Shiqing moved a chair and sat next to Xiao Fengdi's station, just like in winter, very close to each other.

Ever since they were bumped into the scene by two girls early in the winter, they had paid special attention to their behavior in the library, which was a public place after all.So now they just hid their hands under the table and held each other tightly.

It's as quiet here as ever.Xiao Fengdi didn't even read the book today, but just kept looking at him with very focused eyes.

Even though they had been talking for a long time, Fang Shiqing felt a little embarrassed by being stared at.Just now on the farm, the field was relatively open, and the line of sight was not so obvious, but now it is so close and the environment is quiet, you can't ignore it even if you want to ignore it.

"You, why keep looking at me..."

"It's nothing, I just want to see you more. Can't you?" When speaking, Xiao Fengdi still looked at him.

"No, it's not impossible."

Fang Shiqing felt hot on his face.He tried to find a more serious topic, so he brought up his previous experience in the dungeon.

"Speaking of which, after we separated, what happened to you?"

"Actually, there is nothing to say," Xiao Fengdi replied after a while. "At that time, you were dragged away by the kid. I jumped into the water, but I didn't find you. When I came up again, no one else was there. As I continued to explore the maze, I got new clues."

The so-called new clues were the play that Fang Shiqing had also seen, the play performed by the little ghosts.

There was no one on his side to interfere, and the little ghosts successfully played to the end. In the end, the water ghost dragged the ordinary people he held hostage to the lake to drown, and then got a new life for himself.

From this play, he guessed that the water ghost would eventually go to Fengyue Lake, so he found his way out of the ground and went to the lake.

As for the other players, including You Qingyu, they met on the way out.You Qingyu should have been sent to them by a little ghost called by Gu Jinhong. After waking You Qingyu up and asking them about their experiences, the truth will become clear.

Mentioning Gu Jinhong, Fang Shiqing's mood became a little complicated again.

"If you put it this way, I don't think Gu Jinhong may have intended to harm anyone," he thought for a while and said, "Although he said it very heartlessly, he still saved Qingyu, and he was the one who saved me and Zeng Xin in the end. the puppet—the puppet only listens to him.”

After all, the puppet is just an NPC, and its thinking is not very bright.If Gu Jinhong, the master, hadn't instructed her, would she really have taken the initiative to save lives?

"En." Xiao Fengdi responded.

"But why did he say that," Fang Shiqing continued to ponder, "Aside from making others hate him, those words seem to be useless—"

"The matter is over, so don't think about it so much." Xiao Fengdi interrupted.

Fang Shiqing scratched his head and found that the other party was a little unhappy.It's right to think about it, the two of them are alone after finally getting through the difficulties, why does he insist on mentioning others.

"Anyway, you saved my life again." He moved his position and got closer to the other party, "...I thought I was going to die. Boss, it's lucky that you are here."

He hugged Xiao Fengdi's arm, but felt that the other person's mood dropped suddenly.

After a while, the other party said silently, "Don't you blame me?"

"……what?"

"Before entering the dungeon, I clearly promised that you could rely on me." Xiao Fengdi looked at him, "But you were dragged into the water by the monster right in front of me. —— right in front of me."

"Uh."

Only then did Fang Shiqing understand.Before entering the dungeon, he once expressed his fear of water to the other party. The so-called "promise" was the words the other party comforted him at that time.

"No, it's just an accident, you don't have to..." Don't blame yourself.Besides, actually taking care of him was not the other party's responsibility, even he didn't really hope that the boss would stay by his side forever.

"It was an accident, but it was also my failure." Xiao Fengdi held his hand tighter, and said in a low voice, "If I had held you back then, nothing would have happened to you. ——Next time, If there is a next time, I will never let this happen again."
