A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

The next day the rain stopped.

Carpenter Wang came early in the morning according to the appointment, and it took less than an hour to easily repair the big hole.

After using the carpenter's skills to repair, the wall looks very smooth, and there is no trace of breakage at all-this is obviously only something that can be done in "games".

Although the world feels very real to people, it can always be distinguished from reality in this subtle place.

Fang Shiqing has been thinking about "games and reality" for the past two days. Seeing this, he inevitably thought, if these NPCs had the ability to think, wouldn't they feel something was wrong in the face of such a strange phenomenon?

But think about it the other way around, they were born in the game world from the very beginning, and they followed the rules in the game.Perhaps for them, "carpenters can use skills to restore damaged planks" is common sense that does not need to be questioned, just like "people can be full by eating" in the real world.

Carpenter Wang was very happy, saying that he was honored to be able to repair his master's original work, and he insisted on leaving some gifts for Fang Shiqing before leaving.

The gift is a wooden doll carved by himself.

This doll is not too finely carved, but it is very lifelike. The joints of the hands and feet are spherical, which is a bit like the pose villains commonly used by comic writers.

It is wearing a cute little skirt, with black hair hanging over its shoulders, tilting its head and looking at the opposite side, with a smile on its face, looking innocent and innocent.

It was very beautiful, but after yesterday's experience, Fang Shiqing felt that he might have suffered from puppet phobia, and felt terrified when facing such a small doll.It was hard for him to refuse someone's kindness, so he could only accept it first, and put it in the deepest part of the cabinet after sending the carpenter away.

Today's weather has been sunny.Early in the morning, there were still large and small puddles on the ground, which gradually refreshed and disappeared after a short while, making Xiao Hei, who was keen on rolling in puddles, very disappointed for a while.

Fang Shiqing began to make preparations before departure.I picked some wooden sticks from the collected wood and split them, soaked the oil I bought before on the rags torn from the curtains—anyway, the curtains will be refreshed at a certain point, stuffed them into the cracks, and made simple torches one by one. Then receive it in the tool bar.

This is the method of making props that I saw in the craft skill book I borrowed earlier. With the help of professional skills, it is not difficult to make.

The "craft" skill of the "farmer" profession can actually produce very few real crafts, and more of them are messy and practical props.

After packing up his things, Fang Shiqing left for the library to ask the boss to look for the legendary cinnabar mine with him.

The location that Zhang Yu told him was not too close to the town, and it would take a lot of time just to go back and forth. Considering the worst possibility, they even need to spend the night outside. Naturally, the more things are prepared, the more complete they will be. the better.

When he arrived at the library, Xiao Fengdi didn't wait outside, but stayed in the lounge.

He was wearing the same glasses as yesterday, and was flipping through yesterday's book. He also brought in the lamp from the table outside, and took photos of the pages of the book from time to time, looking very carefully.

Because he seemed very attentive, Fang Shiqing didn't dare to breathe after entering the door, but silently picked up a chair and sat down.

Without raising his head, Xiao Fengdi knocked on the seat next to him: "Sit over here."

"Oh well."

So Fang Shiqing got up and changed his seat, but he still sat in a well-behaved manner.

"..." Xiao Fengdi said, "Move a little further here, can't you see nothing at such a distance?"

"what?"

Fang Shiqing was stunned for a moment before realizing, "Boss, you asked me to sit here because you want me...to read this book with you?"

"Otherwise?—what do you think I want to do?"

The other party glanced at him with a special expression.

Fang Shiqing didn't think much about it at all, just pretending to be a boss and despising his IQ.

He dragged the chair to Xiao Fengdi's side, stretched his neck to look at the book, and found that it seemed to be a...

romance novel.

"At the moment when the breeze blows in this summer afternoon, Ouyang Xueni fell into the giant net called love. The so-called love is just a momentary thing. At the moment when the sun shines on that person's forehead, she knows I heard the sound of my heartbeat." On the opened page, it was written.

……Uh.

The boss was in no hurry to go out to pick cinnabar, and even asked him to sit here just to... read this kind of love novel with him?

Probably aware of his entanglement, Xiao Fengdi turned the book over, and saw a line of beautiful artistic words written on the cover - "I fell in love with you only for a moment".

Wait, that name looks familiar.

Isn't this the book that Zhang Yu borrowed yesterday? !

Fang Shiqing stared at Xiao Fengdi dumbfounded, and thought to himself, do bosses also like plain, sweet love stories?This is really not to be judged by appearances. I didn't expect you to be so consistent inside. Could it be that the NPC is actually a soul mate specially made for you, boss? !

Xiao Fengdi behaved very flatly.He opened the book again, reached out and picked up one of the pages: "Look."

"Hey……?"

The piece of paper he twisted up by himself turned out to be completely transparent, with a special luster under the light, looking like a glass handicraft.

Just now Fang Shiqing didn't notice at all that there was such a completely transparent layer covering the pages of the book.

He flipped through a few more sheets of paper, and saw that on each page of this book, there was actually a transparent page of the same size attached. At first glance, it looked a bit like a copybook, but the material was completely different from the paper.These transparent pages are very thin, so the thickness of the whole book does not increase much. If you don't deliberately twist each page, you can't find it at all.

"This—this, what is it?"

Fang Shiqing had never seen such a wonderful book.He thought of the book with the same name that Zhang Yu borrowed yesterday. Does that book look like this?Or……

"This is where the real value of this book lies," said Xiao Fengdi. "The packaging of a romance novel is just an appearance, and what is recorded on the transparent page is the useful content."

Fang Shiqing stared at the transparent page in his hand: "But there are no words on it?"

Xiao Fengdi took off the glasses he was wearing, put them directly on his face, moved the pages of the book, and let the light shine in from the other side.

"Look again."

Looking through this pair of glasses, on the originally empty transparent page, there are rows of neat handwritten words, accompanied by fine hand-drawn drawings, which are clearly marked in colored handwriting.

--This is……

Fang Shiqing concentrated on reading those words, the more he read, the more amazed he became.

This seems to be a record of adventures written by someone.In the beginning, the author briefly explained the situation, saying that he and his companions found an ancient underground labyrinth in a remote mountain, and they were very interested, so they started to explore, but later found that its area was far beyond imagination, and had to Turn short-term exploratory behaviors into long-term ones.

The following is the description of the adventure process.The content is very brief but often accurate, how far we have traveled today, what monsters we encountered, what we found, and so on.

Xiao Fengdi directly turned the book to the last few pages, where the text was changed to another handwriting.

"Just half a month ago, the surrounding land was occupied by the army led by the nearby lord. We are very contradictory. We don't want to hand over the wealth and secrets of the underground labyrinth to the dictatorial lord, but according to the law, this place has been It's his, and we are committing a crime by mining and collecting on his land without a license.

"Finally, we decided to seal the entrance of the maze and hand over this record to the villagers in the village to keep it for someone who is destined to find it after a few years. We have almost finished the map of the maze, and I will draw it later , I hope it can be helpful to you, future readers, I wish you good luck and prosperity."

Behind it is a complex map with densely packed lines of various colors, which turned out to be a very detailed map.

Seeing now, Fang Shiqing almost understood.This record comes from an adventure team who did not know how many years ago. The background of the era at that time was probably similar to that of medieval Western fantasy games.The team members discovered an underground labyrinth that contained wealth. However, the detection of the labyrinth was illegal at the time, so they had to stop this behavior and pass down the records in this way.

——How should I put it, this story with a western fantasy background is really incompatible with Fengyue Town...

Everything here in Fengyue Town is full of local flavors, although it is a bit anachronistic at times, but there is hardly any European style-under this premise, this record seems to be subtly inconsistent.

It looked like a setting picked from somewhere else, Fang Shiqing thought secretly, could this be an easter egg randomly inserted in a Western fantasy game?

"Don't you think the term 'huge underground labyrinth' is very special?" Xiao Fengdi looked at him.

Fang Shiqing nodded: "I understand, sir, are you referring to the maze I found in my farm before?"

Seeing this phrase, his first reaction was also the special burrow he found on his farm before.

However, "There is no evidence to prove the relationship between the two..."

He leaned over and looked at the map more carefully, trying to find familiar terrain from it, but the pattern was so complicated that he couldn't see any clues for a while.

Xiao Fengdi took a magnifying glass from nowhere and handed it to him, then further pointed to a corner of the map: "Look here."

Fang Shiqing took it over and found several little red dots on it.

"--What's the meaning?"

He wanted to find the labels on the map, but found that the scale was not even marked on the map.

Xiao Fengdi turned to the previous page and showed him.The content of that page basically said that the adventure team found a way to the surface in a corner of the maze. After going up, they found that this place turned out to be a red mineral owned by the lord. They were so scared that they quickly hid underground. Seal this exit.

"—Wait, don't you mean..."

The word "mineral" made him think of a possibility.This seems a bit far-fetched, but, "Don't you mean that the cinnabar mine mentioned by Zhang Yu yesterday is the red dots on the map?!"

The red dot happened to be in the northwest corner of the map, and the cinnabar that Zhang Yu mentioned yesterday was also in this direction!

"I do guess so, of course, there is no evidence now," Xiao Fengdi said, closing the book, "That's why we need to explore further. By the way, that NPC told you the location of cinnabar yesterday, right?" , shall we go there now?"

"No, wait, just wait a moment."

Fang Shiqing just felt that he couldn't understand the follow-up that seemed to be out of control.

He took a deep breath and planned to stroke it all over again:

"Boss, that, let's start from the beginning. Where did you get this book? What about glasses?"

"This book is said to be a relic of the former librarian, and it has been kept in the lounge." Xiao Fengdi answered his question patiently, "The mayor of the town just took this pair of glasses suddenly the day before yesterday. It was for me, it was said to be a gift left by the predecessor to the successor, he forgot to give it to me before. There was also a letter along with the glasses."

He took out the letter, and there were only two simple sentences written on it.

"This is just a pair of ordinary polarizers worth [-] yuan, but it can help you discover the real wealth of Fengyue Town in an instant."

"How did you associate this kind of thing with that kind of book?!" Fang Shiqing was so shocked that his glasses almost fell off.

"Don't you know it just by looking at it?"

Xiao Fengdi frowned, showed the cover of the book again, and clicked on the title.

I fell in love with you just for a moment.

It's just...for a moment...for a moment.

For a moment...of...

Fine.

Fang Shiqing patted the boss on the shoulder, thinking it was a pity that he didn't play decryption games, this magical association ability is simply extraordinary.

"Then, if you put it this way—"

Just yesterday, Zhang Yu borrowed a book with the same name. Is this just a coincidence?
