The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Yu Hanjiang quickly finished roasting the hare, and by the way, heated up the fish that was roasted last night on the charcoal fire.

Ye Qi was blind, so he could only chat with Professor Xiao by Xiao Lou's side.

Xiao Lou knew that Boss Shao was not good at the secret room of hearts, so he simply told Ye Qi in detail about the two murder cases that happened on the "Extreme Express Train" in the secret room of hearts 4, the ins and outs, and the suspect's testimony.

Ye Qi was dumbfounded when he heard that: "Those two men are too scumbags, aren't they? If you want me to say, they really deserve to die!"

Xiao Lou warned: "The names of the characters in the Heart Chamber will change, and it is very likely that there are several versions of the case, just like the A and B papers of the exam. After you go to the Heart 4 with Mr. Shao, remember to carefully analyze the suspects. Don’t be fooled by the testimonies of other people.”

Ye Qi nodded cautiously: "I understand. With these materials, the difficulty for us to solve the case will definitely be reduced a lot." He scratched the back of his head, and suddenly thought that the two sides should exchange information, and hurriedly said: "By the way, the level of plum blossom 4 is very difficult. It's simple and doesn't eliminate people, maybe the elimination rate of 4 of hearts and 4 of spades is too high, so the diamonds and clubs of the fourth level are all given away."

Xiao Lou asked curiously: "This time the club is still playing cards?"

Ye Qi said: "The 4 of clubs is called card flying chess. You can directly draw cards to jump the grid. There are some rewards and punishments. The rewards are usually gold coins, or you can directly upgrade the S card to full level. The punishment will randomly confiscate the cards in your card bag. A level of pure luck."

In this way, the second level is to test the psychological quality of clubs 2 to forcibly eliminate challengers; the third level is to increase the elimination rate of Spades 3 financial crisis; to the fourth level, hearts 4 and spades 4 are very difficult to eliminate. More than 80% of the challengers, the rest can enter the main city.

The difficulty is really getting higher and higher.

Xiao Lou thought for a while and said, "There are [Sun City] and [Moon City] in the main city, and the big king and the little king of the poker should be in charge respectively. After leaving the 4 of spades, we will separate again. After completing the fourth level, you and Mr. Shao will also choose Moon City, so that the four of us can meet again in Moon City."

Ye Qi was puzzled: "Why didn't you choose the City of the Sun? It sounds like the City of the Sun would be brighter?"

Xiao Lou smiled slightly: "Because Moon City has the largest and most professional casino, you understand Mr. Shao's ability to make money."

Ye Qi suddenly realized: "Oh, Mr. Shao can go to the casino in Moon City to make money! Then let's agree, let's choose Moon City together!"

At this moment, a deep voice interrupted them: "What are you talking about?"

Xiao Lou smelled the smell of barbecue, and said with a smile, "I'm talking about 4 hearts and 4 plums with Xiaoye, Team Yu, is your rabbit ready?"

Yu Hanjiang tore off a rabbit leg with the best quality meat and handed it to Xiao Lou, sat beside him and said, "Okay, let's eat."

Xiao Lou took it and took a bite. Yu Hanjiang's grilled meat was really fragrant and tender. Xiao Lou had never eaten wild game barbecue before, and today was a real treat. He ate it and praised: "It's delicious, this is Best BBQ I've ever had."

Seeing his satisfied expression, Yu Hanjiang smiled slightly, and took out the hot fish again.Worried that he would get his hands dirty, Yu Hanjiang found a bamboo leaf and put the fish on it, gently stuffed it into Xiao Lou's hand, and said in a low voice, "I'm sure you won't be full from eating rabbits alone, let's have another fish."

It was the first time for Xiao Lou to experience the treatment of "opening your mouth when you come to eat". He was taken care of by Yu Hanjiang so caringly, holding a rabbit leg in one hand and grilled fish wrapped in bamboo leaves in the other. Ye Qi, you can eat too."

Ye Qi waited for a long time, and found that Team Yu was taking care of Professor Xiao, and it was not his turn yet.He can't see, so he can only wait quietly for feeding.

Only then did Yu Hanjiang realize that he had neglected Xiao Ye, and hurriedly tore some rabbit meat and handed it to Ye Qi: "Eat it."

Ye Qi, who finally got the food, took it with both hands gratefully: "Thank you, Team Yu!"

At this time, Shao Qingge also brought back the water, and said in a low voice: "There are a lot of challengers near the spring, and they all came to fetch water during lunch time. We barbecued meat in the temple, which may have left a smell. Many people are going to Watch over here."

Yu Hanjiang said lightly: "There are four of us, and the other challengers are in teams of two or two, so they won't rush in to make trouble."

The room of spades is randomly matched. There are very few groups like them who met at the 3 of spades, agreed to form a team in advance, and happened to be matched with the 4 of spades at the same time.Currently, the challengers for 4 of Spades, except for the four of them, are all in a team of two, and their fighting power is naturally inferior to them.

As Yu Hanjiang said, the four-person team is considered the strongest combination in this secret room, and ordinary challengers dare not go head-to-head.It was also because Xiao Lou happened to be blind on the mountain road just now that the couple wanted to take advantage of the danger.

Yu Hanjiang said: "Everyone, eat lunch in peace of mind. In the afternoon, when Professor Xiao and Ye Qi's eyes recover, we will go out again to find out the bottom line of other challengers."

Shao Qingge felt relieved, sat cross-legged on the dry grass, and shared the hare and grilled fish with everyone.

The sweet spring water, the fragrant barbecue, Ye Qi eats with gusto - it's different to go through the level with the boss.

The four of them were eating when suddenly two girls walked in cautiously and knocked on the door politely.

Yu Hanjiang frowned, and his sharp eyes swept towards the door: "What's the matter?"

These two were exactly the girl who accidentally alarmed the Tibetan Mastiff at Old Mrs. Qin's house last night.

The girl walking in front had neat short hair, and her voice was relatively calm: "I just saw that you have grilled fish. We picked a lot of wild fruits and mushrooms in the mountains. Can I exchange a fish with you?"

Yu Hanjiang leaned close to Xiao Lou's ear and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to eat wild fruit?"

Xiao Lou thought that eating meat for three meals a day would cause indigestion, and a diet with meat and vegetables is better, he smiled and nodded: "Change."

Since Xiao Lou wanted to eat, Yu Hanjiang didn't mind exchanging some fruits, so he brought two grilled fish from the side and handed them to him.The girl's eyes lit up, and she immediately handed over a basket of wild fruits and mushrooms to Yu Hanjiang: "Thank you!"

Yu Hanjiang asked suspiciously: "Where did you get this basket?"

The girl said, "We made it out of bamboo ourselves."

Yu Hanjiang found that the girls were quite ingenious, so he said: "Give us this basket. I have a way to catch fish. If you still want to eat fish, you can continue to ask us for it tomorrow."

The two girls didn't expect him to be so easy to talk, and they were stunned for a moment.But soon they came to their senses and said excitedly: "Great! We know that there is a place to pick wild fruits in the forest. In addition to green apples, there are also apricots and pears that are ripe this season. We will pick some more in the afternoon and give them to you." You! By the way, if you still want bamboo baskets, we can weave two more. There are a lot of bamboos in the mountains, so it’s not difficult to do this.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Thank you, then make up two more."

The girl happily left with the grilled fish.

After they left, Ye Qi couldn't help feeling: "Among the challengers, there are still more normal people. The exchange of materials and information, how good is everyone's mutual benefit? Some people insist on grabbing directly." Someone took advantage of Xiao Lou's blindness to snatch something.

Xiao Lou said helplessly: "There are all kinds of people, and we can't control what others think."

Yu Hanjiang washed the fruit with clean water, handed the largest apple to Xiao Lou, and said in a low voice, "Try it."

Xiao Lou took it and took a bite. The wild fruit was sour and sweet, and it was very crisp to the bite. The freshly picked fruit tasted very good. This kind of fruit must be very rich in vitamins.Xiao Lou couldn't help smiling and said: "It's delicious, everyone should eat more wild fruits, it's good for digestion."

Since he couldn't see, Xiao Lou gnawed the apple very slowly, and Yu Hanjiang couldn't help but think of the little animal that obediently lowered its head to eat the fruit.Looking back at Ye Qi, there are two extremes. Classmate Ye Qi can't see with his eyes, but eats his mouth voraciously, like a hungry and crazy mouse, he kills an apple in an instant, and reaches out to touch another one to continue gnawing.

Yu Hanjiang thought to himself, the way Xiao Lou eats is more pleasing to the eye.Ye Qi ate fish so much that his mouth was full of greasy food, unlike Professor Xiao, he was gentle, he could not see his eyes and did not dirty his mouth.

It was his hand. He was holding a rabbit leg to eat barbecue just now. His white and slender fingers looked dirty. After he finished eating, Yu Hanjiang took some water from a bamboo tube and asked, "Do you want to wash your hands? "

It would be uncomfortable to get greasy fingers on. Xiao Lou was worried about how to wash his hands, but he didn't expect Captain Yu to be so careful. Xiao Lou got up immediately and said, "I'll go wash it."

Yu Hanjiang said: "Come here."

He brought Xiao Lou to the door, asked Xiao Lou to squat down, tilted the bamboo tube at 45 degrees, and lightly watered Xiao Lou's hands beside him.

Xiao Lou noticed that the cool water was pouring on his fingertips, so he rubbed his fingers consciously, and washed his hands with clean water.The oil on his hands was completely washed away, and his whole body was really comfortable. Xiao Lou looked back at Yu Hanjiang and me, and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Facing his smile, Yu Hanjiang couldn't help saying in a low voice: "Why are you being polite. You are blind, and I should take care of you."

Ye Qi also ran out to wash his hands.

In order to show that he was simply taking care of his blind teammate, Yu Hanjiang asked, "Can you help me?"

Ye Qi smiled and said, "No, I'll wash it myself."

Xiaoye stayed outside to wash her hands, and Yu Hanjiang helped Xiao Lou turn around and enter the house.

Standing behind him, Shao Qingge saw this scene with a meaningful smile on his lips.

***

After lunch, Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge quickly cleaned the house, and left unfinished food in the temple for dinner at night.Xiao Lou and Ye Qi's eyesight hadn't recovered yet, Yu Hanjiang suggested: "You guys just take a nap and wake up."

The two couldn't see anyway, so they slept in the temple.

Yu Hanjiang walked outside the door, intending to check the movements of the other challengers, but he thought that Xiao Lou and Ye Qi were both blind, and if someone came to find fault, Shao Qingge might not be able to deal with it alone, so he stayed.

Shao Qingge stretched his waist and said, "I also want to lose my sight as soon as possible. After three hours pass, I can feel at ease. Otherwise, I will be worried at any time."

Yu Hanjiang speculated: "Random blindness seems to be according to the team? I am on the same team as Professor Xiao. I am normal when he is blind, and you are normal when Ye Qi is blind. The secret room should not make two people blind at the same time, so easy Get wiped out."

Shao Qingge thought for a while, then nodded in agreement: "It makes sense. It seems that it will be our turn after their blindness ends."

Xiao Lou and Ye Qi took a nap.

When he woke up, his eyes were hazy, Xiao Lou rubbed his eyes vigorously, and his vision finally recovered.

There was only darkness left in his field of vision before, but now he can see this colorful world again, Xiao Lou was in a complicated mood, stood up and walked to the door, saying, "I can see now."

Yu Hanjiangli walked up to him, and asked with concern: "Is there any sequelae left by the eyes?"

Xiao Lou shook his head: "It's very clear, it's the same as before."

Ye Qi also regained his vision after waking up. He was so excited that he almost ran around the ruined temple: "It feels so good to be able to see! I've been blind for three hours, and I'm dying of anxiety! I can't find anything. I am afraid of falling while walking... Sigh, I suddenly feel a little sympathetic to these villagers in Liuxi Village, who couldn’t see them since they were young, isn’t this too miserable?”

Xiao Lou said suddenly: "I thought about it carefully just now. When entering the secret room, there should be a message that misleads us."

Ye Qi was stunned, and said, "Did Professor Xiao find something wrong?"

Xiao Lou said seriously: "If blindness is really caused by genetic inheritance, as far as I know, the most easily inherited disease is called 'retinitis pigmentosa', but this kind of disease is not blindness at birth, but night blindness at the beginning. I can't see at night, and as I get older, my field of vision gradually shrinks, which eventually leads to blindness."

Hearing what Xiao Lou said, Yu Hanjiang quickly grasped the key point: "You mean, the blindness in the whole village is not due to genetic inheritance? The 'due to genetic inheritance' when entering the secret room is actually misleading?"

Xiao Lou nodded: "Yes. From the perspective of medical genetics, there are dominant inheritance, with a probability of 50%; recessive inheritance, with a probability of 25%; XY sex chromosome linkage inheritance, and the prevalence rate of men and women will be significantly different. .There is no such genetic disease that is 100% inherited by men and women and congenitally blind. The sentence when entering the secret room must be misleading information."

Ye Qi was dumbfounded when he heard that, Shao Qingge rubbed his temples with a headache to express that he didn't understand.Only Yu Hanjiang quickly understood Xiao Lou's meaning, and said, "The blindness of the villagers is caused by people after the day after tomorrow. It is more likely that they have used some kind of medicine?"

Ye Qi scratched his head in confusion: "But, if the blindness is acquired, wouldn't it be strange for these people to suddenly lose their sight? Has no one investigated the cause?"

Xiao Lou looked back at him and said, "What if it's a pregnant woman or a baby?"

The three of them were startled suddenly.

Pregnant women are attacked, and the child is born blind. It sounds like a congenital inheritance, but it is actually a deformity caused by drugs.

If you do something to a baby, even if the baby can see things at the beginning, they will be blinded by drugs. Children under the age of three don't understand anything, and they don't remember that they were able to see at the beginning. When they grow up and become blind, they will naturally not Will investigate...

Yu Hanjiang's face was terribly gloomy: "It's too cruel to lay hands on pregnant women and babies!"

Ye Qi said with a trembling voice: "This, this murderer, seems to have been lurking in the village for a long time, so that the people in the village, generation after generation, are all blinded by the drug?"

Shao Qingge asked curiously: "Is there such a medicine that can cause blindness in both eyes of a baby?"

Xiao Lou nodded: "A lot. As long as it affects the optic nerve, retina, or acts on the cornea to cause corneal opacity, it can cause blindness in both eyes if taken for a long time."

The four fell silent at the same time.

As the girl said last night, if you want to clear the 4 of Spades room simply, you just need to avoid the villagers and find a gem; but if you want to pass the level perfectly, you must solve the mystery of the blindness of the villagers.

Yu Hanjiang glanced at the sky, and said in a low voice: "In the evening, the four of us will act together. Professor Xiao and I will go to Mrs. Qin's house to investigate. Put bugs in the character's house. Professor Xiao has opened the Peach Blossom Spring in advance, and if anyone of us is in danger, we will forcefully teleport it immediately."

Ye Qi worried: "If we split up, how will we communicate?"

Xiao Lou took out Qin Guan's card: "It allows Qin Guan to establish a 'heart-to-heart' channel and keep in touch at any time."

Ye Qi showed a strange expression: "Qin Guan? If the two feelings last for a long time, how can they be in the day and night?"

Xiao Lou smiled helplessly: "I don't know what's wrong with my luck. I always draw such weird character cards. Ignoring the skill description, these cards are quite easy to use. Qin Guan's heart can be established across secret rooms. connect."

The four of them discussed the countermeasures and went outside to find out.

The challengers dare not enter the village during the day, and most of them hide in the mountains to find food without interfering with each other.After all, this is only the first day, and they don't know the details of each other, so there's no need to be too aggressive and fight directly.As for the two gems, apart from the one in the temple that should have been taken away by the girl last night, no one knows exactly who owns the other one and where it was found.

In the afternoon, Shao Qingge obtained the blindness buff, and Mr. Shao calmly returned to the ruined temple to lie down and sleep.

When Shao Qingge regained his vision, it happened to be dusk.

Among the four, only Yu Hanjiang was not affected by the blindness. Yu Hanjiang was worried that he would have an accident during his actions, so he told Xiao Lou: "Once I lose my sight halfway, you can directly send me back to Taohuayuan, so as not to cause accidents and hurt you instead."

Xiao Lou nodded seriously: "Don't worry, we won't be found wearing the invisibility cloak. I left the location of Taohuayuan in the ruined temple. If there is any accident, I will send it directly."

***

At dusk, people in the village began to get busy.Many men came to the mountain to fetch water with their burdens. Carrying water in the evening seems to be the habit of the villagers. The challengers worried that they would be discovered, so they all climbed to the top of the mountain. The four of Yu Hanjiang also cleared away the smell of grilled fish in the temple in advance. , Close the door of the ruined temple tightly.

18:30 in the evening.

Ye Qi and Shao Qingge, who were in charge of scouting around the village with a teleportation card, sent a message to Xiao Lou through the teleportation channel: "The old lady Qin has gone out with her dog."

Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang, who nodded simply: "Action."

The two put on the invisibility cloak at the same time, quickly descended the mountain, and sneaked into Mrs. Qin's house without a sound.

At this moment, they noticed a strange air current surging beside them, and Yu Hanjiang lowered his voice vigilantly: "Who?"

A young man's cold voice came from next to his ear: "We also have invisibility cloaks. Whether we can find the gem or not is up to everyone's ability, but make an appointment in advance, don't do anything here, you should know the consequences of alarming the villagers."

It seems that this is a smart challenger.

Once the villagers are alarmed, the result is likely to be that the challengers in the village are collectively wiped out.

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Okay, each finds something according to his ability, don't make too much noise."

The other party said: "You too."

All four of them were wearing invisibility cloaks, and they could only see a cloud of air from each other.But Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang have been walking side by side, even if they can't see where each other is, they can still feel the familiar atmosphere by their side.

Just as Xiao Lou was about to act, he heard Yu Hanjiang suddenly whispering in his ear: "Go to the kitchen, something is wrong over there."
