A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

When Gu Jinhong saw him, he took the initiative to move to the other side of the bench.

Fang Shiqing sat down next to him, and the two were silent for a while.

The atmosphere was awkward. After the last dungeon, no one could chat casually anymore.

Fang Shiqing didn't dislike Gu Jinhong too much, but he always felt that it was difficult to speak in such an atmosphere.In fact, regarding the last dungeon, he still had some things he wanted to ask the other party for confirmation. He opened his mouth several times, but he still couldn't say it in the end.

Finally he had to turn his head and look to the other side.The queue in front of the rice roll stall was slowly advancing, and Xiao Fengdi was still in the second half of the queue.

Gu Jinhong was also looking at the line, the dolls were in the front, and they were almost there if they wanted to watch.

"Do you like rice rolls?" He asked after noticing Fang Shiqing's gaze.

"It's okay, I want to eat a little today."

After saying these two sentences, the two fell into silence again.

The dolls lined up in front of the booth, waiting for their own share to be handed over.Gu Jinhong kept looking over there, not knowing if there was no other place to look, or if he just wanted to look at her.

Fang Shiqing turned his head to look at the other side, and saw the bright numbers on the task bar above the bulletin board.

"The amount of tasks has reached 180 million, and it should be completely completed in a few days." Gu Jinhong said beside him.

"Well, I'll be able to go back then - after so much trouble, I can finally go back."

Speaking of this, Fang Shiqing somewhat relaxed.After all, the players got together for the common goal of "going home", and there will always be a common topic on this matter.

"Yes," Gu Jinhong said in a low voice, "I can go back in a few days."

Fang Shiqing felt something was wrong.When it came to going back, Gu Jinhong's tone was not excited, even a little cold.

Although this person has always been a person who is not very expressive, this emotion is not the result of deliberately covering up, but more like a natural expression of fatigue.

"Don't you want to go back?"

"How is that possible?" The other party immediately raised his eyes and replied, "My desire to return to reality is probably stronger than all of you."

"Really? But I think..."

Compared with him usually, Gu Jinhong's speech speed seems a bit too fast.

Fang Shiqing remembered that he had said in the dungeon before that he would do anything to get back alive.I didn't pay attention at the time, but now that I think about it, I always feel that there is something weird about that declaration—a subtle sense of inappropriateness.

"Of course," probably also aware of his haste, Gu Jinhong emphasized before being questioned, "In reality, I still have a lot of things that I haven't finished in time, I have unfulfilled dreams and unrevenge. You and I— —I mean, the previous you were completely two extremes. The previous you had no nostalgia for the real world, right?"

"Yes, but not now." Fang Shiqing admitted.Now all he wants is to go back early, meet Xiao Fengdi again, and live a good life together.

"I wanted to go back like crazy from the very beginning. No one wants to go back more than me." Gu Jinhong said, "But no matter how irritable I am, things can't be done overnight, so I have been controlling my emotions and trying to be as calm as possible. to face the game."

——Now he is actually a little out of control, Fang Shiqing realized.It is impossible for the usual Gu Jinhong to talk so much.

He felt that this was a very dangerous state.

"Don't be upset now, it's just the last bit before I can leave."

"……Yep."

Gu Jinhong finally calmed down.

Fang Shiqing turned his head and found that the puppet had already bought rice rolls and was bending over to thank the stall owner.

"But," watching her walking this way, Gu Jinhong finally let out a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Things have turned out to be different from what I thought. I am very..."

He was silent for a while, "Sorry, I shouldn't have complained to you."

Fang Shiqing felt more and more bad, he couldn't help but said: "Anyway, it's the last moment, you should be able to persevere, right?"

"Of course. . . . of course."

When the puppet walked to the bench, Gu Jinhong quickly adjusted his expression, completely hiding the previous daze and anxiety, took a piece of rice roll from her hand, and returned with a faint smile.

Because Fang Shiqing was sitting next to him, he didn't open it immediately.The puppet stood by and looked at him quietly, as if expecting him to give a little response after tasting it.

Until now, Fang Shiqing couldn't understand where the puppet's affection for Gu Jinhong came from, just like he couldn't understand why Zhang Yu liked Xiao Fengdi and why Zhang Yu liked him.In this world, the feelings of NPCs seem to be sudden and without reason. As long as the system stipulates this, they will fall into it at the first sight.

However, real human beings may not be like this.Fang Shiqing was a little distracted. Speaking of it, until now he still didn't know why Xiao Fengdi liked him in the first place. It couldn't be because he acted too stupid at the beginning.

Xiao Fengdi bought rice rolls and came over. When he saw Gu Jinhong, he frowned undisguisedly. He didn't even want to be polite, so he directly grabbed Fang Shiqing's wrist: "Let's go to the opposite side."

Fang Shiqing nodded. Anyway, everyone will not stay in this game for a long time, so there is no need to establish a good relationship.

The two went to the bench on the other side of the square and sat down together. Across the whole square, they could see the bulletin board from a distance.

Fang Shiqing opened the rice roll and tasted it, and immediately forgot everything: "It's delicious!"

The rice noodle rolls here are thin and elastic, and the fillings are full of sauce, which is very well done.He couldn't stop taking one bite at a time, it felt like his tongue was about to fall off.

Xiao Fengdi also opened his own and ate slowly.When both of them were almost finished eating, he asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

"Nothing special, just chatting," Fang Shiqing thought for a while and said, "But I think Gu Jinhong seems a little strange..."

"There's no need to worry about him," Xiao Fengdi was still unwilling to mention this person, "Anyway, there will be no intersection in the future."

This is the reason, but Fang Shiqing felt uneasy for some reason.If everyone can go back smoothly, then it will be fine, but will this lead to new accidents?

He looked across from afar.Gu Jinhong was talking to the puppet, and the expressions on both sides could not be seen clearly from too far away, but the atmosphere seemed very soft.

It was suddenly dark before his eyes, Xiao Fengdi raised his hand to cover his eyes, then half-forced his face to his side: "Don't look at him, you can look at me if you want to."

"..." Can this be the same? !Fang Shiqing took off the opponent's hand, a little speechless, "Boss, don't you think they are a little strange?"

The puppet sat down next to Gu Jinhong, and they were very close.Xiao Fengdi and Gu Jinhong were not familiar with each other, probably didn't feel it, but Fang Shiqing obviously felt that the atmosphere over there was very special.

The way Gu Jinhong gets along with the puppet has changed.

Hearing what he said, Xiao Fengdi finally raised his head to look at the opposite side, and frowned after a while.

"Anyway, you don't need to worry about him," he said after a while. "That's his own business. It's all up to him to deal with it. It has nothing to do with us."

Although this is said coldly, it is the truth.Gu Jinhong has always acted as a sufficiently indifferent and rational adult, even if it is just out of courtesy, it is difficult for others to point fingers at his private affairs.

Fang Shiqing sighed.

At around seven o'clock, other players came one after another, and everyone met in front of the bulletin board as usual.

Although most people ignore Gu Jinhong, but fortunately he has never had a sense of presence, even if he completely ignores it, it will not affect other people's communication.

"It's just over a hundred thousand!" You Qingyu blushed with joy, "That's just one or two more orders, and I'll definitely be able to go back this month, no, I think it might be enough in these two days, so work hard It’s been a long time, and I’m finally about to see the results!”

It's normal for her to feel excited. Speaking of which, apart from Fang Shiqing and Xiao Fengdi who entered the dungeon one more time, the most unlucky thing is that the first dungeon was almost lost. Killed her.

Zhao Jun was also very excited: "Do we need to prepare a sense of ritual when we officially clear the customs? For example, deliberately control the income, and when we get the last sum of money, everyone will gather together to see the completion of the task together—"

"That's okay, it's hard to control." Whether it's an order delivered by a factory or a task purchased and handed over, the other party has to confirm receipt of the goods to get the money, but the confirmation time of the other party can't be manipulated at all.

"Forget it, let's do everything as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

"Hey, I don't think I want to read magical girl manga anymore when I go back this trip." He Xiangwu complained softly, but his face was relaxed, and he leaned over to ask Fang Shiqing, "Brother Fang, do you remember my mobile phone number?" No? I’ll add you on WeChat when I get back, is your WeChat ID a mobile phone number?”

"Okay." Fang Shiqing smiled. He felt that the players may not be able to become good friends after returning to reality. After all, a group of people are far away from each other, but the contact methods have been changed. If they can contact again In fact, it can be regarded as a proof of this strange experience.

There is nothing to talk about today. After a brief exchange, everyone's money-making plans will be separated.

Before leaving, Fang Shiqing hesitated for a moment.The others basically left, and he turned around to find that Gu Jinhong was still sitting on the bench, quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

On the farm, the fastest-growing crops, such as radishes and leeks, have already harvested the second wave, and the net profit is tens of thousands.

In the past few days, the pots of orchids that Fang Shiqing has been taking care of have almost bloomed, and he spent more time in the greenhouse.Such a particularly expensive flower can command a very high price when it is brought to the store after it blooms.

Because this kind of flower was too delicate, he didn't even dare to ask Xiao Fengdi to help him - after all, he didn't have the relevant skills, and this place was still a game after all, and people without skills might damage the plants.

Seeing that the latest pot was ready to bloom, Fang Shiqing's mood became very good.The plants themselves are so beautiful that it is a pleasure just to look at them, even without regard to their value.

"Boss, let's grow flowers on the balcony when we get back," he squatted on the ground fiddling with flower pots while talking to Xiao Fengdi who was not far away, "The place where I live now doesn't have a balcony, but when I was young, my Yes, at that time my mother loved to grow flowers."

"Yes. Let's find a place to live with a balcony." Xiao Fengdi responded.

Putting down the flower pot in his hand, Fang Shiqing looked to the side, and found that the wild flowers he had planted not long ago had also grown and bloomed.

The wildflower seeds were left over from last year. At that time, he just casually put them in the house. This spring, he just buried them in the soil casually. Unexpectedly, they can really grow out, and they are also very beautiful.

Unlike the expensive domestic varieties, wild plants have a special beauty of vitality, but of course, are far less valuable than cultivated varieties.

Fang Shiqing folded a few flowers from the middle, and while standing up, tied them into a small bouquet three or two times, and when he turned his head, he handed it to Xiao Fengdi: "Boss, you can take this back to the library and put it in the library. In the vase—what's the matter with you?"

Xiao Fengdi suddenly turned his head away, covertly covered the lower half of his face, and coughed twice.

"Nothing," he said, "do you remember? Last year you also..."

"...?" Fang Shiqing looked at him questioningly, "Last year? What happened?"

"Forget it if you don't remember." He took the bouquet, took Fang Shiqing's hand and walked outside, "Let's go back."
