Mountain Village Ghost Story 7

◇

Puffy

Zhou Yan looked at the people in the room vigilantly. There were nine people in total, and there was no one more or one less.

The girl with the younger sister's head pouted and looked at Huang Mao, and said coquettishly, "Baby, why did you form a team with that girl, why didn't you follow me!"

Huang Chunling who was pointed out was very upset, but she didn't dare to say anything. She didn't want to exchange books with her younger sister and put herself on the order.

Huang Mao rubbed her head and said: "You are clingy, you insist on being on my lap when you get in the car, it's not too heavy!"

The younger sister stomped her feet shyly, covered her face and said, "Baby! You are so annoying! But am I really heavy?"

"Of course not, you are as light as a feather!"

The two began to talk about love to each other as if no one else was there.

Zhang Wenwen coughed lightly and reminded: "This task has a time limit."

The younger sister stared at Huang Mao in embarrassment, and said: "I told you not to say this, but you have to say it!"

It turned out that the two made the same seat. Although the question was answered, the uneasy feeling in his heart still lingered.

His two real-life friends Huang Chunling teamed up with Huang Mao, while Yin Junjie teamed up with Wei Xing. At least their teammates are all experienced players. This made Zhou Yan feel at ease, and he wanted to spend more time with them. After a few instructions, I heard the system's prompt.

[Reminder: Students should be friendly and not too far away, 10 minutes of time will be deducted. 】

Ji Fangwei's long legs were just stepping over the threshold, and he also heard the system's prompt, and immediately stopped in place.

What was originally a 2-hour task countdown turned into 1 hour and 50 minutes in an instant.

Zhou Yan walked up to Ji Fangwei with a dark face, and said in a low voice, "No matter who you think I am, I'm not the one you want to kill anyway. It's better to complete the task well, or you might be the one who dies."

He also imitated Ji Fangwei's previous appearance and gave him a warning look.

Perhaps intimidated by his killing intent, Ji Fangwei silently moved a step to the left to make room for him.

Due to the distance restriction, the two walked out side by side. Zhou Yan was really not used to associating with such weird people.He has never been a talkative person, coupled with a teammate who is almost dumb, this journey is both silent and tormented.

At this time, the sun was setting and falling on the stone road, and a few well-fed ducklings wobbled past them.The smell of rice is wafting in the air. It is evening now, and many people have already started cooking dinner for the evening.

Most of the rural villages in this dungeon era use firewood for cooking, so every household has a chimney on the roof, which is emitting billowing mist.

Those villagers also wore very plain clothes, with simple jackets and trousers like ordinary people, but they were slightly outdated.They were no longer as close to the college students as they were before. Perhaps they followed the instructions of the village chief. The villagers just stood under the eaves and looked at Zhou Yan and Ji Fangwei with happy smiles on their faces.

Their eyes followed the two of them all the time, and Zhou Yan was almost frightened by them, as if he was an animal being watched in a zoo.

Too hard.

Zhou Yan slowly shifted his gaze back to Qi Sixian's mission to collect the feudal and superstitious customs of Huaishui Village.

If you ask those villagers rashly, will they answer?

It seems that it is very important to choose a villager to ask. You should choose a villager who can be seen to have some experience. At least you must know the situation of this village.

And the content of the question is also very critical. According to the previous information, it can be concluded that this place has a special ancestor worship, and the object of worship is King Nanyan. Maybe we can start from this aspect.

Zhou Yan poked Ji Fangwei with a pen, and said, "Ask someone casually first."

Ji Fangwei's muscles that were caught off guard visibly tensed up. After a moment of silence, he said cautiously, "Yes."

Zhou Yan saw that he looked like a gourd with its mouth sawn off, and a fire from nowhere burned his temper out, and his voice raised a lot: "Your enemy is not me, and I don't know you either." Hearing what he said, Ji Fangwei pursed his lips, noncommittal.This action made his fleshy cheeks slightly puff up, making him look a little childish, and a feeling that he had never felt before also appeared in his heart, as if someone had abandoned him a long time ago.

Zhou Yan shook his head helplessly, not intending to argue with him. Players in the infinite world come from various planes. Maybe the world Ji Fangwei lives in has an enemy who looks very similar to him, which is not certain.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhou Yan felt that his attitude just now seemed a little too much, so he asked forcefully, "What's your opinion?"

Ji Fangwei answered quickly: "No."

Zhou Yan turned his pen around, took a notebook and randomly found an aunt who was feeding chickens and ducks, and said, "Hello, auntie, I'm a student of the Northern University for Nationalities, and I'm here to investigate the customs, can I ask you some questions? "

The aunt's face was filled with a happy smile, but her eyes were cold. She just looked up at the two of them, then continued to sprinkle rice on the ground and said, "You are not welcome here."

[Reminder: Your question made the villagers feel uncomfortable, and 10 minutes of time will be deducted. 】

【time left】

【1:43:53】

【1:43:52】

Not surprisingly, Zhou Yan was shut down.

He tried to write down a sentence that Qi Sixian had said before on the clean and clean paper - "Don't talk about ghosts on the road".

But there was no trace of ink left on the white paper. It seems that the things recorded on the paper must have been obtained from the mouths of the villagers.

However, how did Qi Sixian know about this custom?Someone must have told him.

Zhou Yan seemed to have grasped a clue. He was about to grab a villager to ask him, but he stopped. The time deduction for this task was related to another person, so he had to discuss it with his teammates anyway.

Besides, although Ji Fangwei has some misunderstandings about himself, he should not be a person who is holding back.

"Wait, this task requires cooperation, so next, I hope that all actions need to be informed to the other party." Zhou Yan's voice was a little dull.

Ji Fangwei said, "What did you think of?"

Zhou Yan said: "I'm going to ask about Qi Sixian next time. If you think it's inappropriate, we need to discuss it again."

Ji Fangwei nodded and said, "If not, I will stop you."

Finally got rid of the erratic teammates, Zhou Yan finally felt relieved, his eyes flicked across the faces of the villagers who kept smiling in unison, and suddenly found an unusual person.

The villager was neatly dressed and looked elegant, even his skin was more delicate than other villagers.

In general, it just looks like I have read a lot of books.

The eyes of the two met. He seemed to like the college student who came to investigate, and he didn't flinch when he looked at Zhou Yan. His eyes kept looking at him, and even the upward arc of his mouth did not change.

This villager seemed a little unusual, and Zhou Yan could see a sense of familiarity from his face, a bit like a person.

"Well, that..." Zhou Yan said with deliberation, "Shall we ask him?"

Ji Fangwei also followed his gaze and said, "Yes."

The two came to the villagers under the eaves together. Zhou Yan thought about Qi Sixian's previous remarks and said, "Hello, we are students of the Northern University for Nationalities. We are here to investigate. Can I ask you something?"

When the villagers heard that he was a college student, the smile on his face became more sincere. His eyes lit up with appreciation, and he said, "College student, it's rare. In our poor mountain village, it's rare to have a college student. Please come in."

He stepped aside to open the door, revealing a dimly lit room.

Zhou Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he noticed something strange, as if those villagers were blocking the door just now, blocking the situation inside the house.

What's in this room?

【Ding!Players Zhou Yan and Ji Fangwei got a temporary task - to enter the villagers' homes as guests. 】

The mission of the two to collect data is still going on, and the two missions seem to complement each other.

Ji Fangwei didn't seem to notice the strangeness of these houses, and went straight to the villagers' homes.

"Wait," Zhou Yan stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and said, "There are weird things here, be careful."

Ji Fangwei gave him a slightly surprised look, but stopped obediently on the spot.

[Reminder: Don't make the villagers wait too long, it's impolite, and 10 minutes will be deducted. 】

……

Both of them heard the system's prompt that the countdown will be deducted at the same time, so Zhou Yan let go.

But this also shows that the direction of the investigation is correct. If you ask for information, you should enter the villagers' homes.

After deducting 20 minutes in a row, plus 5 minutes from the guest house to the villager's home, now only 1 hour and 35 minutes are left.

Now that he found the clue, Zhou Yan no longer hesitated, and stepped into the villager's house first.

After the darkness passed, Zhou Yan saw clearly the furnishings in the house.

This is a rather ancient living room. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that such a retro decoration style could be seen in a remote place.

Four Chinese-style wooden chairs are placed on both sides of the living room, and in front of it is a hanging painting depicting a landscape.

This painting gave Zhou Yan a subtle feeling. Its content is related to reality, but the artist's technique is very strange.

Because the water in this painting is made by splashing ink or dots or brushes, it flows continuously and is majestic; The auspicious clouds are attached to the top of the peak.

In other words, mountains are white and water is black.

In the waves of the black water, there was also a small boat floating and reverberating like a blade, blocked by a few suspended dead trees, and was struggling to swim downstream.

Below the hanging picture is a square table with two porcelain cups and a small stove. A copper kettle is placed above the flickering charcoal fire. Hot steam is bubbling from the spout, and the sound of boiling water can be heard from inside. It seems that the owner here expected that someone would come here as a guest.

The only unusual thing is that standing at the door are two boys and girls made of paper figurines.

They stood on both sides of the door, one on the left and one on the right, wearing blue and green costumes, with flowers on their heads, bowing to the guests who came in.

Zhou Yan's eyes were involuntarily attracted by them. At this moment, the head of the paper figurine was slightly lifted up, revealing the bangs cut from black paper, and the crooked eyebrows could be vaguely seen.

"Don't look directly into the paper figurine's eyes!"

Thinking of Qi Sixian's instructions, Zhou Yan immediately looked up at the interior of the room, and before he could see the decoration clearly, he heard the system prompt.

[Reminder: The paper figurine of the host's house salutes you, but you don't return the salute, 10 minutes will be deducted. 】

……

The mechanism of this task is to follow the so-called etiquette, no matter whether the etiquette is reasonable or not.

It was unwise to deduct points for staying at the door before, but ignoring the salute of the paper figurine inside the house is a more cost-effective choice.

This requires their trade-offs and judgment.

At this time, Zhou Yan saw Ji Fangwei make an astonishing move.

I can only write about the interaction between elementary school students, kneeling down.
