Zhang Qingye rubbed his eyes, then rubbed his eyes again, and then looked calmly at the dejected person on the opposite side.

Let him think about it for another ten years, and he would never have expected to see Xu Xiangchen in the city of buried bones.

He took two steps forward. Although he didn't know the cause and effect, the state of the person in front of him had obviously entered the game. Xu Xiangchen had no residence in the city of buried bones, and was brought in by the wraith, so his body was also intact. Destination, unconscious in the business hall where the game was announced, leaning against the back of the chair, with his head drooping, his brows furrowed tightly.

Zhang Qingye helped the man up. If you look carefully, he is actually a little nervous. There is no control in the city of bones, and there will be many "corpse pickers" on the road. Young people who have lost the ability to move will cut off their kidneys to open a house. If they are older, they will be sold to the mountains.

After much deliberation, he still brought him home.Before leaving, Zhang Qingye found the name of Xu Xiangchen participating in the game on the bulletin board in the hall, and the bulletin board said "Wood and Stone Village".

Logically speaking, this is an advanced difficulty game world. It has been on the bulletin board for two weeks and no one has been selected. Zhang Qingye doesn’t know why Xu Xiangchen, a novice, would enter there. Zhang Ran is not here today, and he didn’t tell me before leaving. When will Zhang Qingye come back? He still has time at this time.

He didn't think much about the reason. Not long after returning home, Zhang Qingye checked the game of Mushi Village. There are still many places in the game that no one wants to enter. In a short period of time, Zhang Qingye also made it according to the difficulty of the game. A lot of preparations, he planned to go in and find someone, and just in case, he called Zhang Ran.

Following a few busy tones, the man on the other end of the phone looked happy and was having a pedicure.

Zhang Qingye: "..."

Wen Run trembled a little, and a voice came from the opposite side: "It's you, Qing Ye, what can I do with Dad?"

Xu Xiangchen was arranged to fall asleep in a place where he could not see the screen, and Zhang Qingye had a frank face: "I found a very interesting game, and I am going to watch it."

"You mean Mushi Village." Zhang Ran lay on the mat and squinted his eyes comfortably: "This round is quite difficult, but the rewards are not bad. I heard that there are rare and good things in the field. You can definitely get it, and it’s not bad for you to try it.”

Zhang Ran opened his eyes, the light gray pupils were like a shining stone: "It should also teach you a little truth."

Zhang Qingye nodded and didn't intend to say more. The next moment he wanted to hang up the phone, Zhang Ran was a little puzzled: "Huh? What's behind you?"

Zhang Qingye was taken aback by this question, subconsciously turned around to check, and saw a leg sticking out straight from the back of the chair, kicking and kicking like a duck paddling in water, looking like a mermaid from the screen, with the head covered Blanket up and down...

Xu Xiangchen actually sleepwalked!

After being dazed, Zhang Qingye choked the phone without saying a word, and walked around the room twice like a headless chicken. Although some people's subconscious mind will indeed be out of control after entering the game, but those who can sleepwalk, after so many years It was the first time Zhang Qingye saw him. In order not to make Zhang Ran suspicious, he must still call back. He didn't have time to think about it. This time Zhang Qingye threw Xu Xiangchen into the living room, covered his lap with a blanket, and connected the phone.

"Just dropped the line."

Zhang Ran looked at the blanket on his son's lap with a strange expression: "So you...were stretching just now?"

Zhang Qingye was upright, pulling his legs up from behind as if doing yoga: "Get ready for the game."

This was the first time Zhang Ran heard that Zhang Qingye was preparing for the game. Although he was a little suspicious, his son's behavior was not normal at ordinary times, so he let out a sigh of relief:

"So, then take your time..." Before I finished speaking, I heard a sudden roar from the living room—it was a roar, then it was definitely not sung. Added a bit of Chinese opera charm, and ended with a cracked dolphin sound:

"That is a magical road to heaven! Ah——"

Zhang Ran was almost stunned by the sudden roar.

"This..." Zhang Qingye frowned, and couldn't help sighing: "This is also me, the national K song I recorded."

Zhang Ran: "..."

The foot therapist spoke with a Henan accent: "Your son is versatile~"

Zhang Ran's face was dull, and he replied completely subconsciously: "It's too much."

Before hanging up the phone, Zhang Ran still had the expression of being refreshed, and gave Zhang Qingye a thumbs up: "It's amazing, I didn't expect your vocal range to be quite wide..."

Zhang Qingye: "..."

Taoyuan Village is indeed isolated from the world as mentioned in the book, with few modern facilities, but it is not a complete ancient costume. Men and women are dressed like outsiders. If you have to say it, it is a bit like a backward village. In the setting, Xu Xiangchen is a single father. Apparently, the child in his family is also a player. He has not entered the game since he signed up. The characters in the game have never appeared. The system said that he is missing, so the kind neighbors feared that he would be lonely and sad, so they put him in the game. I brought my own child for him to take with me.

Xu Xiangchen looked at the little boy who kept pulling down his trouser legs under his feet, almost pulling his trousers down, and kept asking him to sing. Xu Xiangchen couldn't bear the desire to hit someone, so he yelled a song Qinghai-Tibet Plateau , After finishing the work, I still feel that my singing is really good, the treble is mellow and the bass is sexy, the cicadas on the tree stopped competing, and successfully screamed the annoying child, and even reconciled with Xu Xiangchen Voice.

The neighbor's woman couldn't help but suspect that Xu Xiangchen had lost his love because his son had lost his mind.

I don’t know if it’s because the game hasn’t started yet, but the two days I lived in Taoyuan were very comfortable, without any danger, and I got rid of the competition and pressure of modern society. In Mushi Village, there is no need for players to do extraneous things. There is a large vegetable garden in the backyard. This is really the largest vegetable garden he has ever seen. Radishes, potatoes, and Chinese cabbage can grow enough for him to eat for half a month without changing every day.

There will be a market every three days in Mushi Village. The single father played by Xu Xiangchen will get up early every day when the market comes, and push his ancestral small truck to the market to sell vegetables and exchange some meat. The occupations are very complete, such as carpenter, barber, butcher, or tailor who can make clothes and shoes. After a hundred years of development, the scale of the village is really not small. Although the crafts are not perfect, they are all passed down from generation to generation. Craftsmanship, Mushi Village provides people with a quiet shelter, so almost every household will ask their children to take responsibility for this big village and learn corresponding crafts to maintain the needs of the village.

Xu Xiangchen is an ordinary vegetable farmer here. He has a lot of tools, such as a small cart, a large vegetable basket, a sickle, a hoe, and a shovel, etc., which are all the tools a farmer needs.

What I have to say is the environment of Mushi Village. Although it is not as intoxicating as the beautiful scenery in Peach Blossom Spring, Mushi Village is also very clean and beautiful. The smoke from the kitchen and the stream flow together. Except for the breeding farm, the air in other places is very refreshing. Xu Xiangchen In the backyard of my house, after passing through the cornfield that is higher than people’s heads, there is a birch forest. There is a river in the forest, which is clear and bright from shallow to deep. I often see children going in to catch grass carp and crabs. In summer, they just sit by the water and chat. , It was also very comfortable to be steamed by the cool air, and some people even set up tables, chairs and benches in the water to eat and play cards, took off their shoes, and there were fish playing under their feet.

On this day, Xu Xiangchen sat by the river and ate freshly caught fish as usual. He was very adaptable, and within a few days, he and his neighbor aunt learned to make a pot of delicious fish hot pot with simple condiments. Served with home-made chili and seasonings, Xu Xiangchen even had the urge to bring his parents to live with him at the moment the fish was in his mouth.

The neighbor's aunt called Xu Xiangchen across the cornfield, and her voice went straight to the sky: "Xiangchen! Come home quickly, your son has been found!"

The bottom of the pot was bubbling, and a small piece of fresh fish was poked open, exuding a strong fragrance. Xu Xiangchen reluctantly put down his chopsticks, coming sooner or later, he had to rush for the meal!He got up and walked back. Before he left, he covered the pot. He hoped that he hadn’t boiled the fire when he came back. He walked to the door of his house impatiently. There was a circle of people, and among them was a short child, about seven or eight years old, who couldn't see his face clearly. Xu Xiangchen walked through the crowd and couldn't help being stunned.

The little boy surrounded in the middle looked very elegant, but his face was rigid like an adult's. After seeing Xu Xiangchen clearly, he was also stunned.

At the dinner table, Xu Xiangchen was picking fish bones for Zhang Qingye, who had become smaller by more than one size, and putting the fish meat into the bowl for him bit by bit: "Why did you come in too? You were also caught by the female ghost?"

Zhang Qingye nodded without hesitation. He didn't intend to tell Xu Xiangchen that his home was in the City of Bone, so he could only follow him and say: "Someone said they saw you sleeping in the hall, and I took your body home. The female ghost followed."

Xu Xiangchen was a little uncomfortable: "I'm really sorry, I have troubled you."

Zhang Qingye shook his head, only reached out to take the chopsticks, and stopped Xu Xiangchen's hand that was still feeding him: "I will do it myself." The little man had to stand on the ground to get the pot: "Tonight we will officially enter the game, Do you have any preparations, have you picked up props and other things these days?"

Xu Xiangchen touched his nose a little embarrassedly: "Does the money count? I have sold a lot of vegetables these days."

"Others... I'm afraid there is nothing else except this fish in the pot."

It can't be blamed that Xu Xiangchen doesn't want to make progress. It's his first time participating in the game, and he encountered advanced difficulty for the first time. Although the system has given a super long explanation, due to lack of practical experience, he still can't grasp and understand many plots. Understand, in the game alone, even if the skill cards and props are placed in front of him, he may not be able to notice, let alone actively discover the props.

Zhang Qingye can understand his feelings when he participated in the game for the first time, so he won't say any more. From the day the sun goes down completely, both of them will enter their respective roles. Xu Xiangchen's father's role in the game determines his physical condition. There will be too many changes, but Zhang Qingye is only a teenager in the game. Compared with ordinary teenagers, he is a little shorter. He looks only seven or eight years old. Not only can he not protect Xu Xiangchen, I'm afraid I don't even have the ability to protect myself.

Although the past few days were safe and sound, once the game world was opened, there would be changes at night. Although he didn't know whether Xu Xiangchen's idyllic cottage was safe or not, Zhang Qingye felt that it was best to hide in the house on the first night of entering the game. It's safer here, there are always countermeasures, and one night is one night.

The two quickly cleaned up the pots and bowls. The setting sun slanted through the birch forest and shone on the water. Starting from the east, the darkness gradually eroded this comfortable and beautiful Taoyuan Village. Disappeared, the lights of every house have been turned on one by one.

From the upstream of the current, a flat shadow looms, floating on the water surface, light and cheerful like a flat boat. As the current rises and falls, a slightly higher stone in the water will make it pause slightly.

It looked like a sheep whose body had been symmetrically sliced ​​open. The body was split in half from the front. The empty chest and abdomen were tightly attached to the water surface. It had been soaked in the water and swelled and rotted. There were countless dead insects and rot under the white meat. The fish, the faceless corpse, looks like a bat with its wings open, and also like a boat, free and brisk.

It wasn't until the stone table in front of Xu Xiangchen's house that it was blocked by a stone. Under the impact of the water, it swayed and swayed, and the face with blurred facial features hit the stone again and again. It squirmed for a while, and then its whole body shook in the water, and it was hit ashore bit by bit. It was as flat as a tablecloth, and it moved forward relying on the squirm of its body. will not be found.

When Xu Xiangchen took out the key and opened the door, Ruoyuewu smelled a bit of a bad smell.

"What does it smell like? Something is broken at home?"

Bringing Zhang Qingye into the room, the smell was much lighter after opening the door. After hanging up the coats of both of them, Xu Xiangchen took out a pair of adult slippers from the shoe cabinet, and then looked at Zhang Qingye. The slippers are probably a bit inconvenient. The family raised children. Xu Xiangchen squatted on the ground and searched for a long time, and found a pair of little yellow chicken sandals from the bottom of the cabinet.

There was a huge little yellow chicken on the top of the slipper, and there was a horn on the sole, which would make a chirping sound when stepped on. Zhang Qingye had a strange expression on his face. He quickly stuffed the slipper back and took out a pair of adult slippers to put on. If you don't know how to wear it, let alone you are still an adult in your body.

Xu Xiangchen couldn't help but want to laugh behind him: "Then why do you reject it? Didn't you wear it all the time when you were young, it's cute."

Zhang Qingye did not speak, and quickly observed the surroundings. The family's house is not big, and the father and son live in it, but it is still a bit empty. The furniture and facilities are very retro. Including the large living room, there are five rooms in total, two for people, and one for stacking. Miscellaneous, there is also a kitchen, there is no bathroom in the room, Xu Xiangchen has been here for a few days, and he was directed by his neighbors to go to the toilet behind the red wall in the backyard, and there is no such thing as a sofa and TV at home, two simple small windows , Half of it is covered with plastic sheeting, and even the ground is still yellow earth.

Xu Xiangchen lived here alone for two days, and he was already very familiar with all parts. He didn't feel Zhang Qingye's nervousness at all, and he skillfully cleaned up the pots and bowls. There was a well in the yard, and he took Zhang Qingye to wash his face and feet. , he took out the washbasin towel from the bedroom, and as soon as he walked to the door, he saw a serious Zhang Qingye standing at the door waiting for him. It was completely dark at this time, and there was only one generator in the whole village. Few people use electricity at home. Amidst the flickering candlelight, Xu Xiangchen suspected that he was wrong.

The pair of big slippers that should have been worn by Zhang Qingye had been thrown far away at this time, one was thrown under the stool, the other was thrown into the big fish basin, the little boy squirmed, as if trying to block it. The big yellow chicken on his feet, but when he moved, the soles of the slippers made a creaking sound.

Xu Xiangchen: "..."

Zhang Qingye may have been completely brought into the game, he is now twelve or thirteen years old, this was only discovered by Xu Xiangchen when he asked him to wash his face.

After receiving the water, Zhang Qingye stepped on the rhubarb under his feet and walked over slowly after Xu Xiangchen put the water basin on the ground. He stopped by the water, looked at each other with Xu Xiangchen, and said something Also refused to move one step further.

He didn't make a sound, and neither did Xu Xiangchen.

It took a long time for Xu Xiangchen to realize that this person might have been dumbed down by the game.

He pulled Zhang Qingye's hand, and the latter began to retract, frowning and pulled again, and then pulled. Zhang Qingye took two steps ahead and stopped by the water. Xu Xiangchen took advantage of the situation and asked him to sit gently. on their own legs.

"Are you afraid of water?"

If he didn't make a sound, he must be afraid of water.

Xu Xiangchen had no choice but to wet the towel and wipe his too thin body, face, arms and feet bit by bit. After wiping, he rinsed it in water and wrung it dry, and rinsed it patiently again. Children like it, but it is the first time to raise a child by himself like today, not to mention that the person who takes care of him is Zhang Qingye, whom he has a crush on. This feeling is really amazing, as if he is really his own son. I can't wait to spend all my heart to take care of him and love him.

"Why is a little boy afraid of water? Have you never touched a fish in the water when you were a child? Have you ever been to the seaside?"

Every time he raised his hand, the small body in front of him raised his arm to cover his face in fear, and his whole body collapsed. Xu Xiangchen couldn't figure out why, he just thought it was because he was timid when he was young, but now In the game, he was considered Zhang Qingye's parent, and it was quite rare for a child to be scared even by his parents.

It can be seen that this family loves their children very much. Mushi Village is so backward, and the cloth slippers with patterns are extremely fresh, but the child’s bedroom is still full of childishness. The bed sheets are all little yellow chickens. full of heart.

In such a place, there are basically no activities at night. Xu Xiangchen comforted the child and went back to the room to sleep. These days, he also tried to start doing farm work during the day, and his whole body was sore. Basically, he could sleep from dark to dark every day. until dawn.

In the middle of sleeping, Xu Xiangchen was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door. He rubbed his eyes and asked in a daze, "Who is it?" Zhang Qingye and Zhang Qingye quickly got out of bed, opened the door and called out: "Zhang Qingye?"

The door was opened from the inside, but there was no one outside, only a puddle of water on the ground.

Xu Xiangchen was puzzled, walked through the living room in the dark and took a look at Zhang Qingye's room. There was an inexplicable stench in the room, but the boy slept well on the bed. Although Xu Xiangchen couldn't believe it, he lifted the quilt and checked again. After making sure that Zhang Qingye didn't shit on the bed, he went back to sleep in peace.

Not long after sleeping, there was another knock on the door.

Even though he was inexperienced, Xu Xiangchen noticed something was wrong. Zhang Qingye had reminded him that tonight was unusual. This time, he did not open the door directly, but carefully picked up the sickle hanging by the bed. Scaring the children, he quietly hid the things behind him and opened the door...

"what happened?"

This time when he opened the door, there was Zhang Qingye at the door, holding a pillow that was about the same size as himself in his hand.Xu Xiangchen breathed a sigh of relief.

"You dare not sleep by yourself?"

Zhang Qingye nodded hesitantly, stepped on the right foot with his left foot, and squeaked, Xu Xiangchen looked at him like this, and his whole heart seemed to be pinched:

"Then call Dad and listen."

Zhang Qingye pursed his lips and remained silent, his indifferent face seemed to have a look that he was familiar with when he grew up.

"Don't cry? Don't tell yourself to sleep." Xu Xiangchen pretended to close the door. He moved very slowly, and half of his eyes kept looking at the boy who was full of hesitation at the door. Before the door was closed, the extremely thin voice came out.

"dad……"

For the first time in the soft and waxy child's voice, Xu Xiangchen felt that he might suffocate himself from laughing.
