infinite maze

Chapter 11 Borrowing Ashu

Under the leadership of the old man, everyone walked into this small village. The village looked very backward. I don't know if it was in contact with coal for a long time. The whole village looked a little gray, and it seemed that there was a layer of soil everywhere.

The old man is the head of this homesick village, and there are only about a dozen households in the village. After the sky darkened, the lights in the village were lit up, because there is no guest house in the village, and they will stay at the villagers' homes tonight. And they are scattered, after all, no family can accommodate ten people.

"The conditions in the village are limited. It is best for you to live alone as a family, so that you can be more comfortable from food to accommodation." The village chief suggested as he walked ahead with a flashlight.

"Should we listen?" The programmer walking behind carefully asked Fang Zhou beside him. Although Fang Zhou was only a sophomore, he behaved very calmly along the way, and he was considered to be of good quality among newcomers.

Regarding the suggestion of the village chief, not only the newcomers are not sure, but the rest of the people can't give a clear answer. This is the maze world, full of suspicion and experimentation.

While hesitating, everyone arrived at the first house, "This is Zhang Qiumin's house. Everyone usually calls him Zhang Laosan, because his right hand had an accident and only three fingers remained. After the mine disaster, only his mother and daughter-in-law remained at home." , oh, don’t think I’m nagging, I just want to nagging..."

Everyone wished the village head would say more, and they would not be disgusted. Although the population of the village is small, each household is separated by a certain distance. The people in the village seem to have known the news of their arrival for a long time, and they are not surprised by the strange faces. , and even readily accepted the request to stay overnight.

In the end, Bai Lulu chose to stay, because there were only two women in this family, and the others continued to follow the village chief, and everyone found a house to live with one after another. Some chose to live alone, and some chose to live with two people.The village chief did not express any objection to this. It seemed that it was really just a suggestion that it was best to borrow alone.

Along the way, the village chief seems to be playing the role of NPC conscientiously. Every time he passes by a house, he will talk about the information related to this family, such as the name, the population of the family, the appearance and personality, etc. However, almost every household in the village had people killed in the mining accident. The village chief kept talking about it, as if those who died were still alive and would come back tomorrow. It was inexplicably uncomfortable, strange and sad.

"Old man, is there anyone named A Shu in the village?" Only Mei Ziyi, Yuncishu, Liu Waiqing and Yin were left in the team, and Liu Waiqing asked for the hint given by the maze.

The village head paused, and it took two seconds before he spoke, "Yes, why, are you looking for him?"

"He's still alive?" Liu Waiqing asked in surprise, since he had received all kinds of information about the mine disaster since he entered the village, he thought that Ashu in the prompt was also one of the victims.

"What is this called? Of course he is alive, but he is also a poor man." The village chief sighed, "He broke his leg at a young age, and his wife ran away."

"Old man, can you tell me about Ashu in detail?" Yun Cishu asked, and then added, "My daughter-in-law also wants to run away, and Ashu and I are also in the same boat."

Yin chuckled next to him, "Maybe it was that Ashu who beat his wife, and she ran away. I can't blame others."

Liu Waiqing "..." silently slowed down, letting himself get out of the way between the two of them.

The village head glanced at Yun Cishu, and then said, "You look like a wife and you want to run away? What does your wife look like?"

Everyone was slightly surprised, do NPCs even complain?However, the village chief seemed to just say it casually, and then continued to talk about A Shu, "Actually, there is nothing to say. The two children have engaged in baby marriage since they were young, but A Shu was injured when he went to the mine two years ago. His leg was amputated, and later he was on crutches, so Axiu didn't want to live with him, and she hasn't seen anyone for half a month, so she must have run away secretly, well, that's Ashu's home."

Ah Shu's home is also a typical single-door courtyard in the village. When everyone arrived, Ah Shu was sitting in the courtyard having dinner, a light was on above the gate, and many bugs were flying around.

The fence gates in the village were not pushed, but lifted. Lifting the wooden door and moving it away, everyone entered the small courtyard. Unexpectedly, the courtyard was well-maintained. There were flowers and plants in the courtyard, and there was even a A fish tank made of cement, with water lilies planted in it, and small fish swimming in it.

Ah Shu had already stood up on crutches. This was a tough-looking man with his right leg amputated at the base of his leg, and his trousers were empty.

The village chief explained the purpose of coming, but Ah Shu refused everyone's request to stay overnight, "I can take care of anyone with my appearance, and Axiu is not here, you should go to another house."

The four of them were not in a difficult situation, they chatted for a while, and after gaining nothing, they followed the village chief and left Ashu's house.After that, the four of them chose to live in a house closer to Ah Shu's house. Mei Ziyi thought that Yun Cishu would choose to live with her, but Yun Cishu also left after confirming that Yin would not follow her.

The family name Mei Ziyi borrowed was Ji. Both sons in the family died in the mine accident. The blow from the white-haired man to the black-haired man made the old couple look older. They looked like they were 50 or 80 years old in their [-]s.

The dinner was on the table, much better than what I saw at A Shu's house before. White rice, four stir-fried vegetables, both meat and vegetables.Two pairs of empty bowls and chopsticks were placed on the dinner table, as if the two sons did not leave.

"Young man eats vegetables. Both the eldest and the second child of our family are stronger than you. Look at how thin you are. How can you grow up if you don't eat meat. Our second child likes my stewed braised pork the most. The eldest loves fish... "

The old man at the dinner table basically didn't speak, only the old lady kept talking about her two sons, even more detailed than what the village head had said before. The two sons are twins, and they are 23 this year.From her favorite looks to her daily habits, she even talked about anecdotes from her childhood, until her husband helped her back to sleep in the house, the old lady left chattering.

When the old lady entered the house, the old man took two puffs of cigarette, "Young man, go to bed too, the two rooms have been cleaned all the time, you can choose one to live in, the two children will definitely not mind."

The old man was talking about the room of his two sons. Outsiders don't come here very often in the village, and most of them don't have spare rooms.

Mei Ziyi chose one of the rooms, the room was clean and tidy, even the quilt was newly dried, and there were two photo frames hanging on the wall, one was a group photo of the twins, and the other was a family portrait.

I checked the bedroom silently, but found nothing special. This is just an ordinary bedroom, with the sound of insects pouring in from the open window. If you look out through the window, you can see it when you look up. In the vast galaxy, everything is comfortable and safe.

Mei Ziyi lay on the window for a while, and then went back to bed to sleep. According to the experience in the basic maze, it is very important to preserve physical strength.

Other passers, especially newcomers, rarely had such mental strength as Mei Ziyi.After all, they lived in the room of the deceased, and the relatives of the deceased acted as if they were not dead and they would come back tomorrow.In addition, the theme of the maze this time is a mine, and until now, they have not gone to the mine, no matter how you look at it, this borrowing is not normal.

In the middle of the night, Mei Ziyi was startled awake by a burst of crying from far and near. After waking up, she found that the sound came from the courtyard.Mei Ziyi was about to lean over to have a look, but was suddenly grabbed by a hand behind her.

When did someone enter the house!When Mei Ziyi's scalp was numb, the person behind him leaned close to his ear and said softly, "It's me."

Yuncishu behind him loosened his restraint, and Mei Ziyi was able to get away, glanced at Yuncishu, and then looked out of the window.Yun Cishu pointed to the door, and walked out first. The houses in the village opened the front and back doors for convenience, and Yun Cishu took Mei Ziyi to go out through the back door.

After climbing over the wooden fence and circling around, Mei Ziyi finally saw the situation in the courtyard clearly. In the evening, the old lady was burning incense, her hunched body was pinned to the ground, and the direction of her kneeling was the bedroom she had chosen. At this time, there are three incense sticks inserted under the window, which are slowly burning.
