Chapter 4 Family Heirloom

"Look at me again, it will be dawn." Jiang Guilu pointed out the window, and said meaningfully, "Are you sure you want to stand here and waste time?"

"No." Gu Lou said, "I just suspect that the village head has been cuckolded. There are so few people in this village, it is easy to cause mental retardation."

The corner of Jiang Guilu's mouth twitched: "Is it fun to scold me through words?"

"I didn't say it was you either." The corner of Gu Lou's mouth curled up slightly, but he quickly put it down, and his expression returned to calm.He walked around the room, Jiang Guilu didn't pay attention to his movements, stretched his waist, and lay carelessly on the bed, with one hand behind his head, lazily leaning against the head of the bed and watching Gu Lou looking for things .

There are very few furnishings in the room, a desk, a chair, a bed, a wardrobe, and nothing else.There is a book on the desk, which seems to have been read many times, many question marks are marked with a pencil, and the edges and corners have been worn and blurred. Gu Lou flipped through it, and it was just an ordinary literacy book.

Books are very common, but appearing in a grown-up room is very strange.Who has a literacy book on their desk that only a three-year-old can use?

There is also a very short pencil tip on the desk. It seems that the markings on the literacy books are written with this pencil.Putting these two things together, Gu Lou inexplicably finds himself in a sad and inspirational story in a poor mountain village who cannot afford to go to school and can only read by himself at night by candlelight.

Other than that, the only thing of value is a drawer with a lock, and Gu Lou didn't find the key.

Gu Lou walked to the bedside and stared at Jiang Guilu.

Jiang Guilu yawned and blinked: "Really not going to sleep? Then I'm going to sleep, I'm so sleepy."

"A few questions." Gu Lou said, "Is this literacy book yours?"

"I don't have any younger siblings, so of course this book belongs to me." Jiang Guilu replied, "My father loves me so much, why would another child compete for the position of village chief?"

"Tell your story." Gu Lou said.

Jiang Guilu: "Give me something in exchange, and I'll tell you."

Gu Lou gave a soft 'oh' and said, "Then do you want me to beat you up?"

Jiang Guilu looked at him.

Gu Lou also looked at him quietly, waiting for his reaction.

"Is that so..." Jiang Guilu thought.

Gu Lou's heart slowly lifted.

"But you can't beat me." Jiang Guilu looked at him unceremoniously, "You look very weak."

Gu Lou: "..."

He was relieved, the person in front of him was Jiang Guilu, the person he grew up with.An npc would never be able to say such a beating.

Gu Lou entered this room for two purposes, the first was to confirm Jiang Guilu's identity, and the second was to search the room to see if he could find what he was looking for.

From the moment Jiang Guilu appeared, Gu Lou was always skeptical. It seemed impossible for the player to become an NPC, but if it happened, Gu Lou would not dare to draw conclusions easily.What if the system did this on purpose?Although he didn't know what the system was trying to do, all signs told Gu Lou that the system's prompt was true.

You can't go offline, you will die if you fail, it's all true.

Gu Lou took a deep breath, his thoughts became organized again, and he asked, "What can you say?"

He didn't ask Jiang Guilu directly, because from the moment the two met, Jiang Guilu had already recognized him, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't do anything to prove his identity, which was enough to prove that there was some kind of force restricting him. his behaviour.

"I can say whatever I can," Jiang Guilu said.

To some extent, he can break away from the character design of the "son of the village chief", but most of the time he must strictly abide by the character design.

Gu Lou understood his subtext.

He put down the notebook and asked again, "Where is the lock of the desk drawer?"

Jiang Guilu didn't go around in circles with him anymore, and said truthfully, "It's on me."

Gu Lou: "Lend it to me."

Jiang Guilu showed a troubled expression: "Well...I'm afraid it won't work, unless you find it yourself, I can't take it off."

Gu Lou frowned, he didn't move, neither did Jiang Guilu, the two were deadlocked in an awkward atmosphere.

"It's useless for you to look at me that way, and I'm also desperate." Jiang Guilu tried his best to express the attitude of 'I'm very sincere' with body language.

A few seconds later, Gu Lou compromised. He stretched out his hand and began to feel every pocket on Jiang Guilu's clothes.Jiang Guilu saw him cautiously stretching out two fingers, suddenly realized, and then became angry: "You think I'm dirty?"

"I think this village may not pay much attention to hygiene." Gu Lou euphemistically expressed his unfinished words.

"The village is just underdeveloped. Don't look down on people. I take a bath twice a day." Jiang Guilu said, "People who wash three times a day can be said to be perverted."

'Perverted' Gu Lou: "..."

They have been in a sarcastic dialogue mode since they were young. They have not seen each other for three years, but they can still resume this mode.

Gu Lou touched all the pockets on Jiang Guilu's body with no sadness or joy, but found nothing: "...you didn't lie to me?"

"I really don't know where the key is, unless you can remind me." Jiang Guilu said helplessly, "The clothes are tattered, and the key may have fallen somewhere."

Gu Lou was silent for a few seconds, wavering between finding and relying on Jiang Guilu, and finally he decided...

"You liked to study since you were a child, but the people in the village didn't like to read, and they didn't let you read. This book is a book that you asked the village chief for a long time. You cherish this book very much." Gu Lou analyzed. , "You read it every day, even though you can already recite it backwards, you still cherish it, because this is the only book - am I right?"

"Yes, not bad at all." Jiang Guilu sighed, "Why is your memory so good?" He unbuttoned two buttons and wore a key around his neck.Jiang Guilu took it off and handed it to Gu Lou, "You're welcome."

Gu Lou moved quickly. He opened the drawer and found a notebook, but the handwriting on it didn't look like Jiang Guilu's handwriting.

——Thanks to Mr. Zhuge for borrowing the arrow from Caochuan, let us have it. It is very useful and has helped us a lot.

——they have been used for too long, and the effect is not as obvious as before.

——They turned out to be fine!We didn't expect that to hurt them that much, but they dared to steal our...

The handwriting after this sentence was blurred, and it was impossible to make out what was written.

——Be sure to get it back!

——I must find it... what?

Gu Lou closed the notebook.

This is the "family heirloom" that Gu Lou heard from villager B.

Now that he has found what he wanted, the clues are very fragmentary, Gu Lou vaguely grasped something, but he is not sure, there is no definite evidence for everything, and he needs to continue searching.

But now it is very clear that the "they" mentioned above refer to the scarecrow who stole something important to the villagers, but too long time has passed, and the villagers only know that they are looking for something, but they don't know that What the hell is something.

The road to get specific information from the villagers has become a dead end.

Now that he knew that Jiang Guilu was not an NPC, Gu Lou was a little relieved.What Jiang Guilu said about "making the floor" was just to scare the ignorant Liu Cheng, and the other quilt was of course spread on the bed.Gu Lou and Jiang Guilu each occupied a corner, and neither of them spoke.

When Gu Lou was about to fall asleep, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Guilu's eyes closed from the corner of his eye, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

He gradually fell asleep.

The night passed very short, it seemed that it was already dawn when he fell asleep, but he didn't feel tired at all.

In the morning, everyone's breakfast was porridge and side dishes. No matter how much the village chief loved his son, he couldn't let him eat chicken three times a day. Jiang Guilu and the village chief lost their temper and went into the house to calm down.

Liu Cheng stared at this scene dumbfounded, and the village chief smiled and said, "I'm so old, but I'm still so childish, forgive me."

Gu Lou nodded: "I understand."

Liu Cheng couldn't understand it. He looked at the village chief and then at Gu Lou, as if he had misunderstood it.

Under the kind gaze of the village chief, the two players ate quietly, and then ended the breakfast.

"Kevin, how did you get along with Jiang...the village chief's son last night?" Just after leaving the room, Liu Cheng couldn't wait to ask Gu Lou, wanting to get some clues.

Gu Lou asked him to call himself Kevin, stop calling him Mr., and do as the Romans do, Liu Cheng readily agreed.On the whole, Liu Cheng is still a good teammate when his head is not convulsing.

"Last night, I wanted to occupy Jiang Guilu's bed, but I didn't beat him, so he drove him to sleep on the ground." Gu Lou spread his hands, "He is very hostile to me, and I am not allowed to look around casually. Didn't get any information."

The bed was so small that Gu Lou could only sleep on his arm. When he woke up in the morning, there was a red mark on his arm, which could be used as evidence of a fight.

"Oh, it seems that you are really not good at manual labor." Liu Cheng nodded, "It's okay, I can fight well, I will protect you, and you can solve the puzzle."

Liu Cheng recalled that Jiang Guilu's attitude towards Gu Lou was indeed very cold at the beginning, and he hadn't spoken a few words to him in total. It seemed that he really didn't like Gu Lou.

Gu Lou smiled: "Thank you."

Liu Cheng turned his head, with unconcealable joy on his face, Gu Lou didn't see his expression, and could feel that he suddenly relaxed.

so happy?

Gu Lou didn't know why his teammates expressed joy at the fact that he got nothing.

Perhaps Liu Cheng felt that he was useless, and it was normal for his teammates to be on the same level as him.

Up to now, the panic and tension that Liu Cheng heard from the system prompt at the beginning has completely disappeared. He chatted with this villager and that villager, busy like a flower that keeps spinning, It's not like the submissive little follower who followed Gu Lou yesterday.

Gu Lou didn't care what Liu Cheng was doing, he found a villager and asked him for information.

"Why do sparrows only come at night?" Villager A looked at the fair-faced young man with a handsome face in confusion, obviously not in the same world as them, but Villager A didn't ask him about the outside world, he only focused on himself He said, "It happens every year, and I don't know why, maybe this is the law."

Gu Lou nodded: "Do sparrows only come when the wheat harvest is abundant?"

"That's right, these sparrows are very smart. They come as soon as they mature, and they eat up all our food. We don't have enough to eat in the morning, so we can barely survive." This topic aroused the anger of villager A. , "It really wants to kill us!"

"I will help you, and you can rest assured this winter." Gu Lou said.

"Last question," Gu Lou asked, "Have you seen a scarecrow in the past few years?"

The villagers' answer made Gu Lou's heart sink.

"Yes." Villager A said reasonably, "The scarecrow will come on the second day of the harvest to chase those outsiders."

outsider?Gu Lou said, "Is he the same person as me?"

"That's right, I don't know how they found our village. They all said they could help us drive away the sparrows, but no one succeeded." Villager A said.

Gu Lou realized that the NPC consciousness in this game could last forever, and his tone was a little hasty: "Where did they all go in the end?"

"Or he died." Villager A said, "Or he disappeared suddenly without saying hello to us. It's really annoying."

The author has something to say:

Jiang Guilu: Do you touch it?

Gu Lou: Hit you.

Jiang Guilu: You can't beat me again~

Gu Lou took out his card and sneered: beg for mercy!

Jiang Guilu: ...Oops, I was careless!
