A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Fang Shiqing is an ordinary townsman in Fengyue Town. He moved into the Qingliang Farm left by his grandfather a few years ago. He is currently running the farm well, with a monthly profit of more than 20. He can be regarded as a young and promising farmer.

Today is also an ordinary day in his life.As soon as it was dawn, Fang Shiqing got up energetically and devoted himself to a new day of work and life.

After a simple but nutritious breakfast, the first thing in the morning is caring for the animals.Qingliang Farm raises [-] to [-] chickens and ducks, more than [-] sheep, and several litters of rabbits. These animals provide him with eggs or wool that can be exchanged for money from time to time.

Fang Shiqing's size and strength are not very good, and he can't control the relatively large cattle and horses, so the sheep that are not too large and have a docile personality are the most bred.

The sheep on the farm are very close to him, but if they are too close, it will be troublesome. Just feeding a feed, the clothes will be torn in a mess.

There is a dog named Xiao Hei on the farm. Its fur is smooth and smooth, and its whole body is pitch black without any stray hairs. It has a good image.Usually Xiao Hei sleeps in its own nest in front of the chicken coop, helping the owner to drive away the wild beasts that sneak up at night.

"Good morning, Xiao Hei." After feeding the other animals, Fang Shiqing filled its rice bowl with dog food, rubbed its belly with a smile, Xiao Hei came over affectionately, and surrounded him desperately wagging tail.

While he was busy brushing the wool of the sheep, Yu Fei who was working on the farm came.

Yu Fei is the son of an uncle firefighter in the town. He has been working here since he dropped out of school in a neighboring town. He is a very energetic young man.

"Good morning, Brother Fang!" Yu Fei greeted him energetically.

"Good morning, didn't you say you couldn't come yesterday?"

Yu Fei said yesterday that he wanted to go play with his father today, so he asked for a day off.

"Hey, it's not that the plan can't keep up with the rapid changes." Yu Fei smiled bitterly, lowered his head and picked up the hoe thrown at the door.

"Actually, my father is going to the train station today. There are a group of foreigners coming to our town. He is responsible for picking up the station. It was agreed that I would go with him, but my sister has been making troubles and wants to go out. There is no way... "

"That's it, what a pity." Fang Shiqing knew that to go to the train station, he would take the mayor's private car, and there might only be room for two people in the car, so Mr. Fireman could only take one child there.

"No way, I'm so old, I can't compete with my sister."

Yu Feiqiang cheered up and helped Fang Shiqing take care of the fields.

It's spring now, and the work in the field is very heavy: we have to get rid of the newly emerging weeds, develop the basically barren land after a winter, tidy up the paddy fields, sow the seeds and water them as soon as possible...Fang Shiqing alone can't handle it all Come on, so he has been giving Yu Fei a raise recently.

The two were busy all morning, and Fang Shiqing invited Yu Fei to dinner at noon.The staple food is the noodles he steamed in the morning, together with dried radishes and pickles pickled in winter, a dish of fried meat with wild vegetables, and a dish of steamed fish, all of which are full of flavor and nutrition.

"It's delicious, as expected of Brother Fang, cooking is better than my mother's!" Yu Fei blushed and said suddenly, "By the way, when are you going to find a partner? Someone with such good conditions as you, There must be many girls chasing after him!"

Fang Shiqing waved his hand and said nothing.

A boy of Yu Fei's age loves to tease about relationship issues. This is not the first time he has brought up similar matters. Today he is motivating him to be with the daughter of the ranch family in the south, and tomorrow he is to be with the mayor's secretary's sister... But he really didn't talk about it. A plan to fall in love.

He didn't know why. He was clearly at the marriageable age, and the conditions were indeed not bad. If he wanted to talk, he would definitely be able to talk.But when he thinks of falling in love, he always feels that something is wrong-it seems that he shouldn't do it.

"Guarding such a big farm, you can't do it alone," Yu Fei said again, "Get a wife early, so you can help you with the housework. You can also find a strong husband if you don't want to. I can help you work."

Fang Shiqing couldn't laugh or cry: "Then if I hire someone to help, it's over? Normal people fall in love and get married not to work for multiple people in the family."

Yu Fei chuckled.

After another half afternoon of hard work, the fields were almost done. Fang Shiqing gave Yu Fei a portion of sauerkraut pickled in winter and asked him to take it home to eat.

After that, he packed a few jars of pickles and sauerkraut, and went around the houses of a few families with better relationships in the town.The ranch house, the carpenter's house, and the shop manager Zhang's house in the grocery store...

"Thank you, Brother Shiqing!" The shopkeeper was the daughter of the grocery store. The girl was very beautiful, and her voice was crunchy and sweet. "Would you like to take a look at the new products in the store?"

"No need, are you looking at the store today too?" Store manager Zhang has a pair of twins, and they usually take turns looking at the store.

"Well, my brother went to the train station with Dad and just came back."

Did they pick up the new outsiders too?

"By the way, Brother Shiqing, have you seen those newcomers?" The girl chirped and gossiped with him, "They arrived after noon, and I sneaked out to take a look on their way to the town government. , those people are indeed from the city, they look different from the people on our side."

"Will you..." Fang Shiqing was a little embarrassed. He also only moved here a few years ago.

"Maybe it's just that the people who came this time are all good-looking?" The girl held her chin, as if recalling, "That particularly tall girl seems to be the niece of Aunt You who occasionally came to work here, and there is another A very cute boy, he seems to be a student, it is said that he is the long-lost grandson of the carpenter... But!"

She slapped the counter suddenly, Fang Shiqing was startled.

"But the most handsome one is the little brother who is said to be the new librarian!"

"Librarian?" Fang Shiqing became a little interested. The town library hadn't been maintained for a long time, and it was very difficult for him to search for reference materials there.

"Yes, but I think he is more suitable to debut as a star. He really looks too much in line with my aesthetics! But it's fine now," the girl murmured, "Brother Shiqing, I've already fallen in love with him ! I've decided to chase him!"

Fang Shiqing shook his head helplessly.

After leaving the grocery store, the sun was about to set.He had to go back to the farm before dark and lock the doors and windows; this was the rule of Fengyue Town, and he must not appear outside the house after dark.

He didn't know why there was such a rule, and he never thought of exploring the reason.After all, rules are rules.

However, there is still time.

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Shiqing turned to the library in the northeast.He recently wanted to dig a pond to raise koi, so he needed to look up related books, but he couldn't find it before.Now that there is an administrator, can I find it?

The library is located in the northeast of the town. At first glance, it looks like a gloomy and quaint building.The door here was never locked, so Fang Shiqing pushed the door open and walked in. Since it was almost evening, the room without the lights turned on looked very dark.

He walked forward in the dark, trying to find the light switch.

Suddenly there was a loud noise nearby.He turned his head, only to be startled: a tall, dark figure poked across the corridor, looking like something out of the ordinary.

"?!"

Fang Shiqing was so frightened that he turned on the light all at once.

Under the light, the shadow does not disappear, but reveals the whole picture.

It was a tall young man.

Seeing that the other party was wearing a library uniform, Fang Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, I'm sorry... Are you a new librarian? I'm here to borrow books."

The other party didn't speak, just stood there stiffly and motionless, staring at him.

This man's appearance is indeed very good, the facial features are tough and deep, and the facial lines are clean and beautiful.

He was tall, but he didn't look healthy: his eyes were slightly black, and his exposed wrist and collarbone were very prominent.Fang Shiqing felt that this person might have been very healthy once, but now he looked as if his body gradually collapsed after falling ill.

"That... Excuse me, did you hear that?"

The other party's gaze made him hairy all over. He tried to call out again, but he still didn't get a response.

The other party just looked at him and kept looking at him.He feels very uncomfortable.

He couldn't help taking a step back, this action finally woke him up.

"you--

"How are you doing now?"

The man's voice was dry and light.When he spoke, his lips could barely be seen moving, and he couldn't hear clearly when he wasn't paying attention.

This question was so strange that Fang Shiqing was surprised: "Did you know me before?"

"..."

After a long silence, the man said, "I'm sorry, you...don't know me. I used to have a friend who was very similar to you. I mistook the person."

——He seems to be in great pain, Fang Shiqing thought.

Maybe he and that friend have been separated for a long time and have not been able to see each other, and the other party has seen the shadow of another person in him.

Whether it's being stared at by strangers, or being treated as someone else you've never met, it's offensive.But looking at the other person's eyes, Fang Shiqing was really hard to get angry.

Suddenly, he walked over to the other party, stretched out his hand, and tried to pat his arm to comfort him: "Well, you will definitely have a chance to meet that friend again in the future."

Unexpectedly, at the moment when his fingers touched the opponent's body, the opponent reacted greatly and retreated abruptly, and immediately covered the place touched by him with his hand, as if he had been burned.

"..."

No matter how good-tempered Fang Shiqing was, he would inevitably feel a little unhappy.He pursed his lips and said, "Excuse me, then I'll go first."

He turned and walked out, completely forgetting about borrowing books.

Just as he was about to pass through the corridor, there was another loud noise and hurried footsteps from behind.

The next moment, the other party grabbed his hand and dragged him back.Before Fang Shiqing could react, he had already fallen into the man's arms and was hugged tightly.

He wanted to struggle in horror, but suddenly froze again.

A scalding liquid fell into his neck drop by drop.

This man, is he... crying?

"Sorry," the other party murmured, like a drowning man grasping at a life-saving straw, clung to him, "Sorry,... sorry."

He repeatedly said the same words, as if he was facing Fang Shiqing in front of him, or someone in the void.

Fang Shiqing was shocked for a moment.He had never encountered such a weird thing, and the emotion contained in the other party's behavior was so heavy and terrible that he was at a loss.

After waking up from the initial shock, he finally thought: Could it be that this person's "friend" is no longer alive?

For the residents of this world, "death" is a matter with a very small probability, so small that it is almost negligible, so he didn't think about it in that direction before.

So that's the case, so the other party may have lost that friend forever, no wonder he is so uncomfortable.

Fang Shiqing felt a little sympathetic, so he stopped struggling and just let him hold her.Forget it, it's only for a while anyway, and there's nothing to lose, he thought.

However, he was a little curious.This person doesn't seem to be a particularly emotional type, but he feels so sorry for his friend. Could it be that "friend" is actually his lover?

If so, this is really a poor man.I hope he can recuperate in this quiet place in Fengyue Town, find a new lover, and live a happy life.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Regarding this episode, it is actually the embodiment of a nightmare that Fang Shiqing once had (see Chapter 227). It can also be used as an if line. The end of death.

The premise of this article is that Fang died in the game at the last moment. After Xiao left for a while, he chose to participate in a new game again, in order to come back to meet Fang (who has become an NPC and no longer remembers him).

Afterwards, he may choose to die here and become an NPC, or he may continue to help a new batch of players pass the level, and then re-enter with the next batch of players, and see an NPC who still doesn't remember him... and so on.

but!One point that needs to be explained is that there is no parallel world setting in this story, that is to say, they passed the level with good luck, got a he, and did not enter the be.This nightmare is just a nightmare, not reality.

——Because it was too horrific, the protagonist woke up in fright after dreaming (.)

In the end, please rest assured that this is the only side story with a knife...!

For the other chapters, except for the one about Brother Xiao’s family background that I mentioned earlier, the real-life part has been adjusted from two to four or five—specifically four or five, depending on how long I write (

Thanks again for your support!It is precisely because of everyone's reading and comments that I can persist in this long story of more than 90 words until the end.

...But next time I will definitely not write such a long qaq
