1/2 Nightmare [Unlimited]

"what--"

The girl's scream pierced the silent night, Qi Lu suddenly sat up in shock, he quickly stood at the door, and looked out through the crack of the door.

The flames behind Zhang Xiaomei, like wriggling scarlet tentacles, gradually transformed into entities, like flowing blood, crawled into the room through the crack of the door, and then "brought out" Qiao Lu.

Qiao Lu was still crying at first, heart-piercingly, with her hands together, entangled by red tentacles, she pulled towards the door.

But the thickness of the door gap is only about one centimeter. Qiao Lu put her hands together, but she was squeezed bit by bit, so that she could pass through the thickness of the door gap.From hands to arms, to body, head, legs...

Qiao Lu was "squeezed" out, and the flesh and blood all over her body exploded.She was brought out alive through the crack of the door.

The wind and snow were mixed with the smell of blood, and the air was cold and smelled of rust. For the first time, Qi Lu witnessed with his own eyes how the ghosts in the dungeon "killed people" without the help of the system.

Qiao Lu's blood stained the pool of snow at the door red, against the red and white, she was lying on the ground like a burst meatloaf.

"Teng——" the tentacles turned into flames again, scorchingly burning, and this time the flames had fuel—Qiao Lu's entity.

076 didn't stop Qi Lu this time, he just waited for him to finish, he half-supported Qi Lu's stiff body, put him on the straw pile, and let him recover slowly.

……

……

The next day, the snow still didn't stop, but felt more intense.The traces at the door of Qiao Lu's room were all buried by thick snow, and it was impossible to see what happened here last night.

Zhang Kun and Li Yangfan also looked disgusted, their eyes were bruised from staying up all night, obviously, they also witnessed Qiao Lu's death last night.

Qi Lu had a hungry meal, and he didn't sleep much last night. His mental state was the worst. After everyone greeted each other in the morning, they didn't even stay by the stove. have eaten.

Zhang Xiaomei was chopping wood and lighting the fire in the kitchen.

076 suggested: "Shall we go outside and have a look?"

Qi Lu nodded first in agreement, what if the food at other restaurants is better?At least he doesn't have to go hungry.

Li Yangfan deeply remembered that it was "Xu Heng" who threw the snowball at him last night. Although it was very painful, it saved his life because of this.Now that "Xu Heng" opened his mouth to propose, he naturally immediately agreed to any suggestion of "Xu Heng".

"Okay, I'll go out with you!" Li Yangfan said hastily.

Zhang Kun is the only one in the team who doesn't look like a "college student", mainly because he looks a little mature.He was the first person woken up by 076 last night, and he didn't scream or get scared.Presumably his personality is also relatively mature.

Zhang Kun waved his hand: "The three of you go out together? I'll stay here and see if there are any other clues. Let's talk to each other when we come back at noon."

This is a relatively safe approach, and Zhang Kun offered this, and they would not refuse it.

Qi Lu nodded in response: "Then you pay attention to safety."

Zhang Kun made an "OK" gesture.

Qi Lu, 076 and Li Yangfan, the three of them left Zhang Yuanwai's home together.

I don't know if it was Qi Lu's illusion, but he always felt that the moment he left the door, the wind and snow seemed to have dropped a bit, at least there was no piercing chill from the wind.

The villages on the mountain exist in groups.Near Zhang Yuanwai's home, there are a few sparsely tiled houses.

It was breakfast time, and the aroma of rice wafted from every household.It smelled much better than the food at Zhang Yuanwai's house.

There is a house not far from Zhang Yuanwai’s house, with blue bricks and black tiles. It is considered a relatively “luxury” building nearby. An old lady came out. She saw the three of them, and she remembered the old accountant Wang in the village yesterday. Said, this is a new college student, come here to do some practice.

"Hey, you kids, haven't you eaten?" The old lady yelled at the three of them, full of anger, and they all looked back.

An old lady with gray hair, her clothes are clean and tidy, so she looks crisp and neat.His face was not very kind, but rather fierce.

However, people cannot judge by appearance.Especially since the three of them are relatively hungry now.

Li Yangfan went over immediately: "Grandma, are you there?!"

The moment Li Yangfan yelled, he slipped to the old lady's side first, with a smile on his face: "Grandma, his cooking is so terrible!"

The old lady obviously also intended to invite them to dinner. When she heard this, she didn't stop her, and immediately went down the steps: "Hmph, who in his family can cook... It's just a pity for you guys. How can you not eat, a young man with full blood? Come to my house?!"

Qi Lu thought about it a little bit, this old lady is not bad.

But then he thought of what 612 said, this is a world where "good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil". This old lady's family conditions are obviously better than other villagers in the surrounding area.

With the first impression of "this old lady should be kind", Qi Lu calmed down a lot, pulled 076 together, and followed Li Yangfan into the old lady's house.

The old lady chattered as she walked: "You are the group of college students that Lao Wang found? You are all very handsome!"

Li Yangfan proudly pointed at Qi Lu and 076: "Where is it? Grandma, you want to say that the two of them are good-looking, so you can take me by the way?"

Hearing this, the old lady hurriedly comforted him: "I am an old lady, and my eyes are not very good. You are all the same in my eyes. Don't guess!"

Li Yangfan is quite good at talking, and he has a sunny face, so he is very popular with the older generation.

The old lady immediately became close to Li Yangfan.

After a few words, they arrived at the old lady's house.As soon as they stepped into the door, they immediately felt the slightest warmth. There seemed to be a heater installed in the room, and it was not cold at all.

Li Yangfan praised: "Grandma, your house is so warm, did you install floor heating?"

"What's the floor heating? Isn't my house similar to the outside? At most, there are walls on all sides to block the wind." The old lady said truthfully.

Qi Lu and 076 were both taken aback.

They could clearly feel that the old lady's house was warmer than the outside, while Zhang Yuanwai's house was colder than the outside.

These are just because of the construction of the house, or does it imply some other meaning?

With this guess in mind, Qi Lu quietly compared Zhang Yuanwai with the old lady.

——This world view law is great and upright. It is definitely not accidental that an old lady from a neighbor’s family proposed to give them breakfast, and there should be other meanings.

The old lady led them into the kitchen and asked casually, "What do you want to eat? Stewed vegetables and flatbreads? There is nothing delicious in the village."

"Hey, thanks grandma! We don't pick."

The old lady was not polite to them, and ordered them to wash vegetables, carry water and do other chores.

"You guys all seem quite capable, don't you think? Why don't you think about going to Zhang Yuanwai's house to help?" The old lady suddenly brought up this topic when they met.

Qi Lu and 076 looked at each other, and then saw a message in each other's eyes——

The NPC is explaining the background.

Li Yangfan said "Huh?", a little confused.

Qi Lu answered immediately: "We were brought here by Uncle Wang."

After answering this sentence, Qi Lu immediately asked back: "Grandma, what's the matter? Zhang Yuan's house... What's the matter? Will it affect our vacation practice report?"

"I don't understand your report. Is that Uncle Wang you mentioned an accountant in our village?" the old lady asked again.

Qi Lu replied: "Yes."

"Then it won't affect you." The old lady didn't understand this, and she didn't take it to heart. She continued to gossip about Zhang Yuanwai's house: "You all stayed at Zhang Yuanwai's house last night, can you tell? His house Pretty poor."

Li Yangfan nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, I slept on the grass last night!"

"Hmph!" The old lady sneered, and continued, "Isn't his old Zhang's family what they deserve?!"

"Ah?!" Li Yangfan was surprised.

"Ah, this is all about the older generation, so it's okay for you to just listen to it as a story." The old lady looked around, and then began to tell.

"Probably decades ago? When I was young, Zhang Yuanwai's father was still alive, and the Zhang family wasn't so poor. At least it wasn't like what you said. The guest room was full of straw, and even a decent There are no beds."

"'Ah? Then what happened to his family? What happened to the family?" Li Yangfan asked.

The old lady stuck the pancakes to the edge of the iron pot, then covered the pot, and sat on the pony to heat the stew pot.

"Don't worry! I'll tell you slowly." The old lady threw a piece of wood into the stove, and continued: "You have all seen Mr. Zhang. He is ugly and not tall. There are no decent girls in the village who would like to marry him."

"Zhang Yuanwai's father, for the sake of the Zhang family's incense, he had to let Zhang Yuanwai's mother have another one." The old lady couldn't twitch her lips when she said this: "At that time, Zhang Yuanwai was almost 20 years old, and his mother couldn't bear it anymore." Forget it, the elderly mother just got pregnant again."

"In the end, I don't know if it's luck, or if the ancestors deserve it. This baby was conceived in October and is a girl."

"I heard from the midwife that she was a girl. Zhang Yuanwai's father was so angry that he ordered someone to quietly send this newborn girl away, to the city or the back mountain, to be handed over to human traffickers or to be fed to wolves... In short, don't This little girl."

Li Yangfan was disgusted for a moment: "This member's father is so vicious! That's his own daughter!"

"Isn't it?!" The old lady echoed, and continued: "The result is also God's eyes. After sending this little girl away, the Zhang family began to decline. There was no harvest from farming, and the leg was injured when hunting in the mountains. He spent all the savings in the family, and then passed away. In the end, only Zhang Yuanwai was left in the family."

"Zhang Yuanwai is ugly and his family is poor, so it is even harder to find a partner. He has been single for so many years. Until 18 years ago, he picked up a little girl at the door of his house. The little girl's swaddle and his sister Back then, the swaddling clothes on her body were exactly the same, they were all patterned with red plum blossoms."

"I don't know if Zhang Yuanwai thought of his sister. He immediately reported to the village and adopted this little girl as his daughter. At that time, this little girl will be able to support him until his death."

"These two days are not exactly right. Xiaomei is going to get married, so the village sent some of you college students to help."
