A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Fang Shiqing felt that the zombies here were probably not simple, but he couldn't figure out how it was not simple.

Thinking that he might need more clues, he set off for the library the next morning after finishing his daily work.

On the one hand, he felt the need to inquire about some zombie-related information, and on the other hand... When encountering such a situation, he instinctively wanted to seek advice from a professional boss - without causing trouble to others. The premise.

Speaking of which, he hadn't been to town for several days.After counting the days, a week had passed, so he made a special trip by the lake and picked a bunch of wild vegetables along the way.

After being able to raise chickens and get a stable income, the money for picking wild vegetables becomes dispensable, but mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are, so we can't just let them go.

The atmosphere in Fengyue Town has not changed much, but perhaps because the weather is getting warmer, the atmosphere in the town has become more lively, and there are obviously more people walking in the square.

On the main road of the town, even motorcycles were rare, but today, several trucks drove past in succession.

Fang Shiqing was a little puzzled at first.And after he walked to the northeast for a while, he discovered the reason.

An old building not far from the mayor's house was surrounded by partitions, a construction attention sign was hung outside, and scaffolding was erected beside the building.Many workers were busy transporting construction materials, and the sound of construction was loud, as if they were preparing to rebuild the building.

Zeng Xin was standing near the mayor's house, talking to two npcs who looked like foremen.

After the npc left, he went up to say hello.

"Good morning," he looked at the scaffolding in the distance, "Is there a new building going to be built over there? Uh, is this town still engaged in real estate?"

"Yes, what did the mayor say... If you want to attract more residents, you must first have enough houses. I really don't understand what he thinks."

Although she complained quietly, Zeng Xin looked quite happy.

"This area used to be an unfinished building thrown here more than ten or twenty years ago. I don't know why he suddenly remembered it these days and planned to rebuild it. By the way, he also said that after the project is completed, it will be rebuilt. I'm giving out bonuses!"

It turned out that she was happy for this... In a sense, it felt like she was already enjoying her current job.

"The mayor, he is really enthusiastic about building the town."

Fang Shiqing couldn't help sighing.If he hadn't confirmed that the mayor was an NPC, he would have suspected that he was playing a simulation management game such as "Dream Town".

"Speaking of which, it seems like I haven't seen you in the town for several days," Zeng Xin suddenly remembered, "I came here so early today, did I ask the mayor for something?"

"Uh, actually, I want to go to the library to borrow books."

"Oh..." She actually looked a little envious, "Oh, I don't even dare to go to the library. I ran into Brother Xiao occasionally in the past two days, and I felt that he was very depressed, and I didn't dare to talk to him at all."

"Isn't it?" Fang Shiqing scratched his head, "I don't think you need to be afraid, even if the boss is in a bad mood, he's not the kind of person who would vent his anger."

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I don't think it's an atmosphere where I can talk to him... Well, you'll know it when you see him."

After the mayor came out, Zeng Xin would go door-to-door to inform about the Arbor Day.So the two just talked briefly, and then Fang Shiqing went to the library.

The library was already very close to the mayor's house, and it was only a few steps away.

Due to the proper greening around, the construction noise has also been reduced to a certain extent when it is transmitted here.However, the library itself is relatively old, and the sound insulation measures are not in place, and the position at the entrance is still somewhat noisy.

However, this place is not usually visited by people, and probably no townspeople will protest this point.

Xiao Fengdi seems to be absent, the librarian's seat is vacant, and the stamp for borrowing books is thrown directly on the table, tied with a thread to the corner of the table, and a note is placed beside it, simply writing the registration of borrowing books Process—clearly let borrowers help themselves.

Fang Shiqing walked around a section of the corridor, only to see that the door of the lounge was locked, and he didn't know if Xiao Fengdi was inside.

The door of the borrowing area is wide open as always, and people can come in and out at will.

He rummaged around in places related to farm management. He first found a few books on animal husbandry skills, and then tried his best to search for content related to "mysterious and supernatural" news, especially various legends about zombies.

However, he not only looked for bookshelves related to running a farm, but also looked at other locations, but let alone zombies, in the huge reading room, there was not even a book of myths and legends——

It's like deliberately avoiding all the content related to ghosts and ghosts and supernatural events.

Or is it just that I just happened to find the wrong place?Where else are these books stored?

At this time, Fang Shiqing naturally remembered Xiao Fengdi's library-related skills—that is, the active skill of keyword search.

This time, please do not ask the big brother to die.He bit the bullet and looked at the rest area again, only to find that the door was still locked; after listening carefully, it was quiet inside without any sound.

—Do you want to knock?But the doors of the library are generally not locked. Since the boss locked the door, does it mean that he doesn't want to be disturbed?

He suddenly found himself in trouble, hesitating in his heart whether he should visit again another day.

At this time, a fluffy and soft thing suddenly rubbed against the leg, and it made a meowing sound——

This touch is not unfamiliar.Fang Shiqing lowered his head: "Xiao Hua?"

Sure enough, it was Xiao Hua, the three-colored cat.

I haven't seen him for a few days, but it still recognizes him, and it's not unfamiliar at all.

Fang Shiqing bent down and scratched its chin, and the kitten purred comfortably.He picked up the cat and rubbed it for a while, feeling that it seemed to be a little fatter.

It seems that Xiao Fengdi didn't remember the grudge of being caught a few times before, at least he took good care of it - no, he didn't think that the boss would be obedient, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he still had it anyway. Kind of gratified.

"Little Hua," he whispered to the cat, "Tell me, is the boss in there?"

The cat meowed and struggled to reach the door with its claws.He was startled, and hurriedly pulled the cat's paw back: "No way, you can't understand what I'm talking about, can you?"

"Meow——" the kitten yelped again, opened its eyes in a daze, and stubbornly wanted to use its paws to pull the door open.

"..." It is really impossible for cats to understand human speech.

Fang Shiqing suddenly noticed something strange about its neck.Xiao Fengdi used a red string to tie a bell that would not ring to it before, but now, the red string around the cat's neck has actually become two.

He searched along the threads, and found that the bell was still attached to one of them, and what was tied to the other was a key.

Could it be... right?

He compared the styles of the lounge door lock and key, and it looked like a good match.But he can't try it directly with the key. It's too shameful to use other people's keys to open the door of other people's houses in other people's houses.

After thinking about it, he still rubbed Xiao Hua's head reluctantly, and put it down on the ground again: "I'm leaving today, and I'll come see you tomorrow."

He turned and walked out.Unexpectedly, within a few steps, there was the sound of a cat's claws scratching the door from behind, mixed with urgent meowing.

When Fang Shiqing turned his head, he happened to see that the door was opened.

Xiao Fengdi stood behind the door, with a stack of yellow paper rolled up in his hand, frowning slightly, as if a little surprised.

"—"

Sure enough, the air pressure is so low!

This is the real deal with low air pressure!

Forced by the opponent's aura, Fang Shiqing was stunned but could not speak immediately.

At this moment, he finally understood what Zeng Xin said earlier.

At this moment Xiao Fengdi didn't look very energetic, his eyes were dyed a light blue, as if he hadn't slept well.

Many people will appear more fierce than usual when they are sleep deprived, but this person is not more fierce than usual 01:30.Fang Shiqing felt that if this boss walked outside now, he would definitely scare the whole town out for half a block.

"Uh, boss... Good morning." He swallowed and said with difficulty.

Xiaohua didn't have any scruples, and sprinted into the room against the wall with a meow.

When Xiao Fengdi saw him, his expression seemed to soften a little.

"Oh, today I am, I want to borrow books..." He hurriedly explained.

"Why didn't you knock on the door and call me?" At the same time, the other party asked.

"……what?"

"Are you looking for me for something?" He turned sideways naturally, "If you're just borrowing books, you don't need to come to the lounge. Since you're here, you must come to see me."

——Although his face looked cold, his attitude... seemed quite gentle.

"Uh, oh." Fang Shiqing nodded blankly, "I saw that the door was locked, so I thought you, um, were busy. I don't feel too disturbed, so..."

"Just knock next time," he said, "or just use the key. I've got the spare room key around your cat's neck. Did you see that?"

"Hey? Isn't that good..."

"If it's you, it doesn't matter."

Seeing that he hadn't moved, Xiao Fengdi turned around and went back to the house, "The door is locked to prevent those irrelevant NPCs from breaking in, not to stop teammates."

Fang Shiqing finally let go of his heart.Sure enough, those fears before were superfluous; the boss is indeed worthy of being a boss, even in the low pressure, he is still easy to talk to as always.

He followed into the lounge, and saw Xiao Hua was in a corner of the room, eating cat food intently in front of a brand new cat food bowl——

It seemed that Xiao Fengdi had put the cat food in this room, but after he locked the door, Xiao Hua had nothing to eat, and was very hungry.

"Boss, you even bought a food bowl for Xiaohua!" Fang Shiqing sighed, "Thank you for taking care of it, I will remember this kindness!"

Xiao Fengdi moved the corner of his mouth slightly.Although the smile was very shallow, it finally diluted the hostility around him.

"That's for cat food."

He sat down at the end of the long table and threw the yellow paper on the table.

Fang Shiqing bewilderedly smelled the smell of alcohol in the air.There was an open bottle of white wine on the table, and a blended red paint beside it.

Probably guessing his doubts, Xiao Fengdi explained directly: "Wine is used to mix cinnabar."

"Boss, are you drawing a talisman?"

"Well," he replied, then paused and said, "...it didn't go well."

There are a lot of folded white papers piled up in front of him, all of which seem to be covered with crooked strokes, while the yellow paper in front of him is still blank.

"What's wrong?" Fang Shiqing suddenly became worried for him.

"It's okay, it's just that the current state is not suitable." He said lightly.

According to Xiao Fengdi's explanation, although those drawn by spirit exorcisers like him can no longer be called orthodox Taoist talisman seals, the basic principles are still the same.

Drawing talismans requires the use of energy, and when the energy is insufficient, not only will the body be consumed more seriously, but it is also difficult to succeed.

Hearing what he said, instead of relaxing, Fang Shiqing became even more worried.

"Have you been feeling unwell recently?"

Is he already unwell to the point where he doesn't even have the energy to draw a talisman?

"No, just a little insomnia."

Xiao Fengdi seemed unwilling to say more.He stood up and opened the wooden cabinet next to him, and took out two talisman seals, "This is the talisman for the town house that I drew two days ago, and it should have the same effect as the one I bought. You can give it to He Xiangwu."

"Hey, okay..." Fang Shiqing took it over, "But why should I give it to him?"

It is obviously a talisman seal made by a big boss, and it always feels like borrowing flowers to offer Buddha when he takes it in his hands.

"Of course it's because he didn't come to get it himself." Xiao Fengdi raised his head as a matter of course, "Do you want me to send it over?"

"..." It was too reasonable to be refuted.

Xiao Fengdi put away the yellow paper and cinnabar on the table, then conjured up a set of teacups out of nowhere, and poured a glass of water for himself and Fang Shiqing.

"You are looking for me today, what's the matter?"
