Penitent hand, trembling slightly

Seven people stood waiting at the gate of the village. The girl named Wu Menghan always looked very scared, retreating back and forth behind the crowd.

Lou Jingmo sized her up and asked strangely, "What are you afraid of?"

Just one sentence made her tremble with fright.Wu Menghan looked at the big locust tree, and his fear climbed to the extreme: "This tree... so scary..."

Shen Maomao looked up at the branches of the locust tree that stretched out several meters, and didn't have any special feelings: "What's so scary?" She said that the locust tree Wuxin was a ghost, but in fact she still believed in science in her heart.

Shao Mei also said: "Wu Menghan, can you stop talking like this all day long?"

Wu Menghan was so frightened that she was about to cry: "I didn't... this tree is really evil..."

Shao Mei disdainfully said: "So what do you think is evil? Can it still eat you?"

"I..." Wu Menghan couldn't say 123, so he could only mutter, "I don't know...it gives me a bad feeling..."

"Don't do anything bad on weekdays, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night." Shao Mei squinted at her, "We are not afraid, you are so innocent, what are you afraid of?" Appease, but like ridicule.

Wu Menghan's expression changed again, and he was about to cry immediately.

The boy named Shan Xiao stood in front of her with a protective attitude, and said to Shao Mei: "Say a few words less."

Shao Mei snorted coldly.

Shan Xiao turned around to comfort Wu Menghan, persuading her not to scare herself, so to speak, finally calmed her fragile nerves.

Lou Jingmo whispered to Shen Maomao: "It's really interesting." Saying so, there was no funny expression on her face, as if she was stating some facts.

"Sister Lou, is there any problem with that tree?" Seeing what the girl said so seriously, Shen Maomao couldn't help feeling a little flustered.The laws of all things can be explained by science, but in the game world, the big brother of science doesn't seem to care much...

Lou Jingmo asked her, "Do I look like a game maker?"

Shen Maomao's eyes widened, as if to say, "What! So you are the culprit of everything!".

Lou Jingmo slapped her directly on the head: "I mean, how do I know what she's thinking!"

……

After a while, a few more people appeared at the end of the path one after another, walking towards them unhurriedly.

Shen Maomao counted, and there were six people who came later, and one of them was their old acquaintance - Yun Shengjin.

It's really a coincidence - although this kind of coincidence may not be a good thing.

She didn't see Yan Nan and Beidou beside Yun Shengjin, but instead saw two terrified new faces following him closely, a man and a woman, probably the newcomers he tricked over halfway.

Yun Shengjin also saw them, but didn't intend to come over to say hello.

After all six people reached the gate of the village to meet them, an old man with a cane suddenly came out from the house in the distance.

It seems that everyone is here.

Lou Jingmo turned his head and said to Shen Maomao: "This time there are a lot of newcomers."

Counting the small group of five at the entrance of the village and the two who followed Yun Shengjin, there are already seven newcomers.If there are no newcomers among the last two men and one woman, then there will be seven newcomers and six old players, with one more player in each area.

More newcomers mean that the dungeon is not difficult, and it also means that mistakes are more likely to occur, because most newcomers have a hobby of dying.

The old man looked about 80 to [-] years old, thin and haggard, walking from a distance without any haste.His face is covered with wrinkles and brown spots, his skin is loose, and even his neck has some deep wrinkles; he is wearing a long-sleeved mandarin jacket of one color; Luxury that doesn't match your face.

The newcomers looked puzzled, Yun Shengjin stood up again, and said, "My name is Yun Shengjin, and I have cleared many games. You can consider whether to form a team with me. I will try my best to protect those who team up with me." He, popularize the common sense of the game to him; I will also share clues with him who did not choose me, so you don’t need to worry, you can do whatever you want.”

Shen Maomao whispered to Xiaolou: "The lines are not changed." It is exactly the same as the last game.

Xiaolou said: "It can be changed, but it's not necessary." Because the new players who survived under Yun Shengjin's hands will hardly cooperate with him for the second time.

Yun Shengjin didn't hear the little Jiujiu of the two of them clearly, and maintained an image of a gentle leader in front of the newcomers: "The NPC has come, if you have any questions, you can come to me after you understand the plot."

While they were talking, the old man had already walked in front of them, standing still with both hands leaning on the crutches in front of him, waiting for them to come forward to talk.

Yun Shengjin took a step forward: "Hello."

"You are here to take pictures, right? Are you in charge?" The old man was a little embarrassed, "I didn't tell me there were so many people when I called before."

Yun Shengjin acted accordingly: "There are a few juniors here who want to follow. Our Lingyuan Village has beautiful mountains and rivers and outstanding people. I just want to show them the world."

Hearing that the village was praised, the old man's expression softened significantly.He glanced at the group of people behind Yun Shengjin, and said: "Thirteen people can live in a crowded place. But recently, the village is holding a sacrifice, and outsiders are not allowed to participate in the sacrifice, so you just don't want to join in the fun."

It is impossible not to join in the fun.The game world will not arrange useless plots, this sacrifice may be the key to pass the level.

Yun Shengjin agreed very happily: "No problem."

The old man nodded in satisfaction and led them into the village.

The paths in the village are also paved with stone slabs, and there are many children running around on the roads.Seeing so many foreigners at first glance, the children followed them collectively, asking the old man in one go: "Grandpa, the village chief, who are they?"

It turned out that the old man was the head of the village.

The village head kindly touched the head of one of the little girls with shofar braids, and replied as he walked: "These brothers and sisters are here to take pictures of the scenery in the village, you little rascals, don't make trouble."

The children replied crisply: "We won't make trouble!"

"Okay, okay, let's go and play." The village smiled and drove the children away.

Shen Maomao kept observing the surrounding environment.

This village is deep in the mountains, and the transportation is inconvenient. It is reasonable to say that the villagers should live in poverty and poverty... But along the way, she found that every household in the village is a two-story building with a garden and a courtyard, which is very grand.Moreover, the clothes worn by the village chief and the children in the village look better than those worn by the players. What means should there be to get rich in this Lingyuan Village?

The village head led them across small buildings, and finally stopped in front of a door, and shouted at the open black door: "Liu Zhuangshi?!"

"Hey! Here we come!" A man responded quickly and walked out of the room.He wiped his wet hands on the apron, and said to the village chief, "Hi village chief, are these the guests?"

The village head nodded slightly, then turned to talk to Yun Shengjin: "This is Liu Zhuangshi, his family can accommodate four people, you should divide them up, Zhuangshi's daughter-in-law is pregnant with a child, people who live here don't make too much noise. "

The Liu family is located in the middle of the village, so the location is neither good nor bad.

It is not good because if the whole village undergoes a change, it will be very troublesome to run out; it is not bad because if the change starts from the outermost, those who live in the middle can still survive to the end.

Lou Jingmo didn't move, and Shen Maomao followed. She looked at the courtyard curiously, and saw something covered by a red cloth, which seemed to be some kind of statue.

Yun Shengjin was a little embarrassed, and said, "It's the same wherever you live, so how about it, I live here, and anyone who wants to live with me will stand with me."

The two newcomers who were limped by him walked over immediately.One of the three veteran players later chose to stay.

Yun Shengjin said: "After allocating the dormitory, please come to the entrance of the village to gather. We need to discuss the task."

No one else raised objections.

Seeing that he had finished making arrangements, the village head said: "Then Zhuang, you should entertain the guests first."

The man responded and led the four of them into the yard.

There were nine people left, and the village head continued to move forward.

Shao Mei talked to the village head with a smile: "Grandpa, the village head, the five of us have a good time, can we live together?"

Wu Menghan said nervously: "We are all here for the first time, so we should..."

Shao Mei said: "There is nothing to be courteous about, rape or robbery, I don't trust experienced people like them, if you want to believe you, go find them and be a licking dog yourself!"

Wu Menghan's face was a bit ugly, she opened her mouth, clenched her fists, but finally said nothing.

The village chief didn't seem to have heard the small quarrel between them, and he responded to every request: "Okay, then I will take the five of you to Lao Zhao's house first, and his house is big."

In this way, Lou Jingmo and Shen Maomao were left to the end, and were forced to live in the same house with the remaining two old players, a man and a woman.

After the village head allocated the rooms, he waved goodbye to them and staggered away.

They followed in the footsteps of the owner of the house and stepped into the vermilion gate.

The owner of the house is surnamed Zhang and introduced himself as Zhang Jianshe. He looks over 60 years old and is very talkative. He has been talking endlessly since he took over.

Except for Shen Maomao, the four of them are experienced veteran players, so they naturally understand that now is a good time to talk to npc.

The only man among the four asked, "Uncle Zhang, what's under the red cloth in your yard?"

Along the way, every household in the village seemed to have placed something covered in red cloth in the yard, which was very eye-catching.

That thing seemed to be placed on a square table, the height of the table was about one person's height, and it was impossible to see what was underneath through the red cloth.

Hearing his question, Zhang Jianshe didn't feel offended, but explained with a smile: "This is the monkey god in our village. I'm afraid that if you don't understand the rules and bump into the statue, I will cover it with a red cloth first." As he spoke, he walked to the red cloth and bowed devoutly.

It turned out to be a statue.

Shen Maomao and Lou Jingmo looked at each other, and saw the same thoughts as themselves in each other's eyes.

The sacrifice mentioned by the village head should be related to this "monkey god".
