I am invincible after I can read the file

Ji Bo prefers high-chassis off-road vehicles, and they also drove such vehicles when shooting videos. On the one hand, they are cool, and on the other hand, they are indeed suitable for various terrains.

But he was too lazy to drive, and Jianghuai couldn't drive either. The two of them were now sitting in the back seat of a simple country bus.

As the New Year approached, there were actually quite a few people. Soon after the two of them got on the bus, it was full.

——It is said that only this car will pass through Xibian Village, which is the hometown of Jianghuai's stepmother Mu Ning.

The main purpose of Jiang Huai's return was to sweep the tomb, which made Ji Bai feel a little nervous.

The air inside the car was filthy, and it was colder outside, so no one would open the windows disrespectfully. However, Ji Bai had been living the life of a young master all along, and he was dizzy and unable to adapt.

He turned his head and wanted to say something to Jiang Huai, but found that the boy tilted his head, leaning against the window with his arms folded, as if he had fallen asleep.

The tall dead trees beside the road cast needle-like shadows, and the shadows kissed the boy's cheeks from time to time, but were left behind by the moving cars again and again.

The sound in the car is not loud but very noisy, some people play video on their mobile phones, some people are talking loudly on the phone, and chickens are clucking - why can chickens get on the bus?Ji Bo yawned big, pulled up their bags, and felt a little drowsy.

He glanced again, and his cousin seemed to be in a light sleep, so his movements were not staggering, his hair was slightly fluffed up because of his posture, his eyelashes were drooping like crow feathers, and the scarf covered the lower half of his face, looking warm and cozy, Looking at it this way, this face does not have the usual neat posture, but rather obedient.

Ji Bo didn't dare to sleep, so he forced himself to put on his earphones, intense music blasted in his ears, the game was temporarily stopped, what if they accidentally immersed themselves in it and their luggage was stolen?He began to observe the people around him a little bored.

——In the whole car, the most conspicuous ones are him and Jiang Huai, the others are nothing special.

The two sat in the last row, and Ji Bai could only see the backs of other people's heads.

The caller was a Mediterranean uncle, probably because of the cold, he was holding a fleece cap, but when the car got hot, he took off the cap.

Ji Bai curled his lips when he heard words such as fund stocks.

The guy watching the video outside put his feet up, lying on his back, sitting on the seat like a puddle of mud, so he couldn't even see his head, but Ji Bai could tell that his shoes were gray-red imitations of big brands.

Other than that, they are all country people with no special features. The old lady carrying vegetables and fish talks to the old sister in a meek tone, using the local dialect, which Ji Bai can't understand at all. The chicken at the old sister's feet is always Call twice, while other people play with their mobile phones to catch up on sleep.After stopping for a few stops, even the old lady got out of the car, leaving only the Mediterranean Sea and the red shoes, but after getting on and off, the air was much fresher, which made Ji Bai heave a sigh of relief.

He pestered Jianghuai, not necessarily because he wanted to join the Youchi faction, anyone could have a dream.

But he did understand the moment Jiang Huai shot an arrow——

The world has changed.

The news of ghosts can be suppressed, but ghosts exist objectively. If you close your eyes and listen to them, will they not attack humans?He looked at Jianghuai at that time, because of the inseparable kinship between them, he could have a little more presence in front of Jianghuai, but that's all.

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to repair the relationship with his cousin with all his heart.

Then he found that it was a bit difficult to handle—Jianghuai didn’t lack anything, and Ji Bai didn’t think he could persuade his family members. When he was in his twenties, he finally realized that he was a useless piece of wood. Being a good-for-nothing can lead a good life, but not now.

It's okay to be more familiar. Ji Bo doesn't think he can change from a salted fish to a genius in three to five days. It's a waste of time to touch unfamiliar fields rashly. Goofing around with my cousin—

I just hope that my cousin can give him a hand when he encounters danger someday.

There is also a little bit of caution that Si Jibo himself didn't realize.

Mu Qiang mentality.

The car stopped for another stop, and Ji Bo confirmed that this was not their destination, and there was still half an hour left... However, he turned his head and noticed an off-road vehicle catching up behind him.

The off-road vehicle drove quite smoothly, and didn't try to overtake at this time, just staying behind the bus obediently.

The license plates and models are quite popular, but they are rare in rural areas. Ji Bai took a second look and put the car behind him.

He didn't notice that when the bus continued to drive, a black figure rolled down from the top of the bus and hid in the shadow of the off-road vehicle for a moment.

That is--

"JAC"

In addition to its own attributes and equipment, Jianghuai also has several special props for self-strengthening.

——【A chance to strengthen equipment】

He originally wanted to use this on [Golden Sparrow Ling], but the system prompts that [Golden Sparrow Ling] will have stronger requirements for strength after strengthening. It is recommended to wait until his strength attribute reaches 20 before considering it. Now Jianghuai's strength is 17, so he put it on hold for now. to the side.

——[Puppet handyman]

There are more than 5 puppet handymen in total. Talking can really drive them to perform puppet shows, but their function is [handyman]. The attributes of ordinary level are the same as that of normal people. They can be asked to do daily cleaning, but he does not lack Sweeping robot, so I disassembled a few for research, and put the rest away; the high level is about lv[-], which can perform basic guarding work, and the movements and body structure are more refined. After Jianghuai uses "Sky Round Place", Indeed, it can drive a real puppet, and even pretend to speak and act like a living person. He hasn't figured out how to use it for the time being.

——【A mobile phone capable of receiving sect missions】

It's not the ghost mobile phone that has been handed in, but Jianghuai bound the task rewards to his mobile phone, and the mobile phone has been transformed into this.

Basically, it can replace all the actions that must be completed in the sect, such as [use gold coins to extract furniture] [check the sect events that are refreshed every day]. The specific embodiment is that a pixel game that looks like a [Yuchipai app] appeared on Jianghuai’s mobile phone.

——【Phantom Body (Top Doll)】

This prop can completely reproduce Jianghuai's level ability, except for the equipment. At first glance, the reproduced "doll" is just a group of upright figures, similar to the black oil man in the copy of the corridor, and has the ability to be immune to splitting damage ability, but strong light and fire will do real damage to it.Theoretically, Jiang Huai could control himself to fight with this replica doll at the same time, but one day he had a whim:

"What will happen if you switch to Yuya's panel to use the puppet, and then switch back to your own panel?"

The shadow figure in You Ye's appearance was copied, but when Jiang Huai switched back to his own panel... the doll has a humanoid entity.

"The reason why the puppet shows that black oil state is because the clone and the main body cannot exist at the same time? But I switch back to my panel, and it can become Yuya..."

But Jianghuai didn't want "You Ye" to be around him in the eyes of the public all the time: it's okay for senior brother to protect his junior brother, it's okay for senior senior brother to disappear, but it would be a bit abnormal to secretly follow his junior brother even back to his hometown...

So Jianghuai replaced the shadow body with [Yingying (Suit)].

——He has a "sex-switched" version of the controllable puppet.

Anyway, it was You Ye who changed sex, so what does it have to do with Jiang Huai?

He didn't relax completely on his trip home. He had been practicing how to control the doll and adapt to the new suit on the way. He closed his eyes on the surface, but in fact, the female doll was sitting in the same car as Ji Bo. It's just that the appearance of the suit can be changed by itself. He changed into a rather simple coat to hide his presence.

Later, Jiang Huai got into the car with the flow of people, and tried how to jump in the shadows——

So they don't know that there is actually a person hidden in the shadow of the bus and the shadow of the luggage on top.

Then JAC noticed the off-road vehicle behind.

There was nothing strange about the off-road vehicle itself, but the driver's eyes were a little dull, but there was no sinister spirit.

Jianghuai investigated the details more, but found something new——

There are at least five people's personal items in the car, including luggage, but in fact there is only the driver.

There was no blood or anyone's hair left in the car. Jiang Huai didn't try to rummage through the luggage. The noise was too loud and he couldn't understand it. He wrote down the license plate number and the driver's face, and released the doll.

The bus stops.

Ji Bai repeatedly confirmed the current location, and immediately pulled Jiang Huai. When he turned his head, he found that Jiang Huai's eyes were clear, and he seemed to have woken up a long time ago.

"I feel like my legs are numb. By the way, where do we live?"

It is 10:30 in the morning, Jiang Huai said: "It should be my grandma's house, but grandma is not here, and there is no one at home. We have to clean the house early."

Besides the two of them, Haidi and Hongxie also got out of the car. Hongxie didn't pay attention while holding the phone. Haidi put on his hat and looked at the two of them specially, as if he didn't understand where this strange face came from.

It is said that the bus stops, but in fact there is no platform, only a stop sign.

After walking more than 200 meters on the cement road, Ji Bai saw the swirling village below.

——It was surrounded by frozen streams, and they stood by the bridge, looked down, and saw houses connected to houses, crowded together, row upon row, and surrounded the red-roofed building in the middle in a clustered shape.The fiery red glazed tiles are shining, as if a winding stream extends from this building as the center, and other buildings surround the river, inexplicably turning into a whirlpool of weird buildings.

Ji Bai's eyes widened in surprise, but he found that another group of people, an old man and a young man, wandered through the building complex, seeming to be very familiar with each other, and quickly found their home.

Jiang Huai patted him on the shoulder: "The two people just now... one should be the second son of my seventh uncle, and the other is the grandson of my mother-in-law's younger brother."

Ji Bai calculated.

"So one is your uncle, and the other is your uncle?"

"Well," Jiang Huai led the way, and said casually, "But I rarely come back, they didn't recognize it, and it took me a long time to recognize it."

——Still relying on eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, but there is no need to say that.

Ji Bai can only say that Grandma Jianghuai's house is one-third of the distance from the center building in the whole village. It's not like they didn't meet people along the way, but these people's attitudes were surprisingly indifferent, and they just looked at them from a distance. Did not say hello.

Although he has never been in the countryside, Dai Jibo also knows that the normal attitude among villagers in the village is not like this.

Jianghuai gave him the answer.

Living in the middle of the big house is Jianghuai's grandma, the grandmother's mother, and Jianghuai's grandma is the youngest daughter of the grandmother. In addition to the youngest daughter, she also raised four sons and two daughters, and brought her seven grandchildren and five grandchildren. Grandchildren, four granddaughters and two granddaughters, followed by great-grandchildren whose number is more than ten, this is a big family.

The surname of most people in Xibian Village is Mu, and Jianghuai's stepmother, Mu Ning, is also named Mu——

It's not because her parents have the same surname, but decades ago, her mother made a bold decision to recruit a son-in-law.

Regarding the act of recruiting a son-in-law, grandma's brothers and sisters were quite critical, but the grandma supported her, and then Mu Ning was born.

After Mu Ning grew up, she supported the divorce of her parents whose marriage was not in good condition, which completely annoyed her grandmother's other siblings.

"So after my grandma got divorced, she didn't have much contact with her family. If my mother didn't earn money to build roads for the village, this house might not be able to keep it." Jiang Huai pushed open the door, and the peach tree in the small courtyard was lying on the wall , There are rotten peaches in the soil of the flower bed, "But grandma and mother don't care about a house, but uncle and the others still want to show their faces, so I'm embarrassed to ask for it."

Ji Bai thought about it a little, and realized that the purpose of Jiang Huai's return was to visit the grave of "Auntie", that is, Auntie Mu Ning's sister?But why do you still live here? Can't you go to grandma to celebrate the New Year after the tomb sweeping?

Jiang Huai glanced at the guy who justly called grandma, and said, "Because I still have to visit grandma."

Ji Bai thought they were going to finish cleaning the house, but Jiang Huai put down his things and took him to the big red-tiled house in the middle.

When they entered the door, Hai Hai happened to come out of the house and stared at the two strangers suspiciously, while Jiang Huai turned his head and smiled at him: "Hello, Fifth Uncle."

"Ah...ah? Ah! Good! You are good too!" Mediterranean Sea was puzzled, but Jiang Huai had already brought Ji Bai into the house, and he could only talk to himself, "Whose family is this..."

It wasn't until Ji Bai entered the door that he became nervous, and whispered to Jiang Huai: "Your family members must be too many——I will never remember!"

Jiang Huai said: "Don't worry..."

"I can't remember either."

The red-tiled house was bustling with activity, as soon as you walk in, you will see the heated pavement, then you will see the courtyard, and then the hall. When the two of them entered, Jiang Huai quickly called all the relatives who remembered their faces, sorry for Uncle Tong, The aunt dealt with it, first calling the person dumbfounded, and finally saying her own name.

Ji Bai clearly saw that after he said his name was "Jiang Huai", the expressions of the others were a few degrees awkward, and then he heard Jiang Huai ask, "I'm here to see my grandma."

Ji Bai thought that he would follow Jiang Huai and see a sick and thin old lady with silver hair and no energy——

As a result, they followed Jianghuai's uncle, and they saw the grandma who was watering the flowers on the third floor.

The old lady is hale and hearty, her face is flushed, and her movements are very neat!

She was wearing a green Tang suit, which was very eye-catching. She took out her small reading glasses and stared at Jiang Huai, and said with a smile: "Huaihuai, show grandma, you are much taller than last time... By the way, Dacheng," She greeted her eldest grandson, "Where is the milk that Ningning bought for me last time? Where is the sugar you prepared?"

Jiang Huai refused again and again, and finally when they went out, they even stuffed a handful of fruit-flavored jelly candies in Ji Bai's pocket. Before leaving, they heard that Jiang Huai might stay for two or three days.

"Then you clean the stove in your house, remember to light incense, pay homage to the Vulcan, and let the Vulcan bless you."

"Why don't you stay with me? It's not that there is no room," the old lady said repeatedly, "You still have friends with you, so it's inconvenient to clean over there."

Jiang Huai declined with a smile.

Before they left the big house, it was snowing.

Ji Bai raised his hand in surprise to catch the snowflakes, almost as soon as they touched his fingers, the snowflakes melted. He looked at the surrounding low mountains, and the sky and the earth were covered with mist.

"But the old lady is quite novel. I saw a lot of green furniture in her room... Does she like green?"

It's just that red and green are a bit...well, it's hard to say.

Jiang Huai raised his face, and the snowflakes were pouring out. From his angle, it seemed that all of them were about to fall into his pupils: "Well, I remember my grandma has always liked green."

Ji Bo: "By the way, what is Vulcan?"

"Stove God or Nuo God, I don't know the specifics," Jiang Huai replied casually, "Generally, there is a statue of a god on the stove, and every household in the countryside has it. If you don't respect the Vulcan, you will set down a big fire—that is, for cooking. If you don’t pay attention to the time, Huo Xiaozi’s house will catch fire.”

Ji Bo nodded: "Then I'll go to worship. I wasn't superstitious before, but now I've decided to believe a little bit. Maybe there really is a God?"

Jiang Huai was speechless, shook his head and ignored him.

Ji Bai was startled when he entered the door, because the whole room was clean, the dust was swept away, the bedding was washed and dried outside, and the quick-frozen wontons they brought were even boiled in the pot, and then he saw the familiar... I.

One puppet is cleaning the toilet, another puppet is lighting a fire in the kitchen, and Jianghuai's suitcase is empty.

He turned his head stiffly to look at his cousin, Jiang Huai raised his index finger to his lips: "Shhh—"

"They'll climb back into the trunk by themselves when they're done."

After finishing speaking, he ignored his cheap cousin, found incense from the utility room, and went to the kitchen to burn a stick of incense.

"...It seems to be Nuo God."

Ji Bo who didn't know when touched it: "Is it because of the red face, eh, is it a mask?"

The small wooden statue beside the stove has four hands and a black and red face. Upon closer inspection, one finds that it is actually a mask. The image of a god is rarely scary. Ji Bai closed his eyes, clasped his hands together and bowed. Visibly devout.

After serving the hot dumplings in the warm room, he looked at the puppet cleaning the TV, relaxed his expression early, and said to Jiang Huai: "It's fine to be a snail girl, a house elf, or a sweeping robot... ...I feel like I have absolutely nothing to fear!"

He never mentioned that he had given names to Jiang Huai's puppets... At that time, they couldn't move at that time!

——Is this the realistic version of the uncanny valley effect?Scared. Scared.

In the evening, the snow fell more and more.

Although the room was very warm, Ji Bai looked at the window a few times and couldn't help feeling worried——

With such heavy snow, it will probably be very inconvenient for them to visit the grave tomorrow.

You can't bring the snail dolls to help clean up, right?I hope the people here have better psychological endurance...or poor eyesight.

Ji Bai rubbed his eyes, took off his contact lenses, and noticed that Jiang Huai next door had been looking at his mobile phone. He could vaguely see the outline of a human figure, and then the figure moved and looked out the window.

"What's wrong?" Ji Bai asked.

Jiang Huai didn't answer him, but he didn't raise his eyebrows.

He has been practicing the shadow puppet, but the shadow puppet can't be too far away from him, the ability to control it will be weakened with the distance, and it can only move within a few hundred meters, so he lost that car long ago .

Later, in Xibian Village, he let the puppet hide in the shadow of the surrounding buildings, so that no one could see it. It was late at night, and this was almost an invincible venue for the shadow puppet, and then it found it again. special car marks.

Such car marks, pressed on a thin layer of snow, left too obvious marks.

In the countryside, off-road vehicles are indeed rare, so he manipulated the puppet to find the target location along the tracks of the vehicles.

— the home of his Mediterranean uncle.

If it's just that, it's fine, the shadow doll has similar abilities to him, so it's easy to hear the conversation in the room.

Uncle Mediterranean and aunt are busy cleaning out the room for the "guests", but this time let alone the guests, there is not even a driver in the car.

Where is the driver in the car?

Who is the "guest" who only exists in the mouth of the uncle?

Jiang Huai exhaled lightly, and the shadow shuttled through his uncle's house, but no outsiders noticed it.

However, both uncle and aunt seem to really think that someone is here.

"Moreover, there is no Yin Qi."
