Monster Beauty's Unlimited Game
Chapter 37
Mountain Village Ghost Story 8
Villager's Secret
He went straight to the side of the living room, and kicked a chair to the square table in front of the living room. He had mastered the strength very well, and the chair was stopping by the wall without leaning to one side.
Zhou Yan realized in an instant that the arrangement of the living room did not conform to the proper rules. There should be two chairs next to the square table in the living room, which are for the hostess and hostess of this room.
He also immediately lifted the chair on the other side and put it in its proper place.
When the chair had just returned to its place, the light in the house dimmed, and the villager had already walked into the room. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he said, "What are you doing?"
No more time deductions!
There was a thin layer of sweat on Zhou Yan's back, and he said anxiously, "We are admiring this hanging painting."
Upon hearing this, the villagers immediately restored their original smiling faces and asked, "Really?"
"Yes, the painting is very good." Zhou Yan praised sincerely, "White mountains and black water, unrestrained and unrestrained, very beautiful."
The villagers listened to Zhou Yan's nonsense with a smile, and finally waved their hands with satisfaction, and said, "People in the city can talk. If you like, I will give this to you. Please sit down, two students."
Zhou Yan and Ji Fangwei rarely looked at each other, and they sat in the guest seats on both sides of the living room that belonged to outsiders.
Finally being able to sit down, Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief, there are still four or ten minutes left, as long as he slowly follows the rules, there should be no problem.
And for the time being, his teammates discovered the pattern immediately, so he shouldn't have to worry about it.
[Reminder: If the player didn't introduce himself when he sat down, if the owner didn't like it, 10 minutes will be deducted. 】
……
Zhou Yangang wanted to stand up and introduce himself, but then he thought about whether it would be "impolite" to stand up without the consent of the so-called master, and if he did this, he would lose all his time sooner or later!
But sitting on a chair and introducing himself seems even more rude, how should he choose?
"Brother, what's your surname?" Zhou Yan asked this question nervously. Knowing the master's name first seems to be the safest answer so far.
"My surname is Wen, Wen Fuli."
【Ding!Players Zhou Yan and Ji Fangwei obtained the Character Illustrated Book X1]
【Name: Wen Fuli】
[Identity: Villager of Huaishui Village]
[Introduction: A very hospitable villager, but he seems to have many secrets. 】
[Others: to be unlocked]
[Favourability: -20 (He doesn't like you, which is very dangerous)]
There was actually a good impression, Zhou Yan looked at the smiling Wen Fuli, they seemed to have chosen a tricky task object this time.
Wen Fuli sat in the host's seat, still smiling. He looked at the two teacups and sighed, "The outsider is a guest. It's because Mr. Wen didn't treat you well. Why didn't he serve you tea."
Zhou Yan looked at the copper pot that was emitting the sound of snoring water, and had a bad feeling.
Wen Fuli got up and picked up the kettle. Hot water poured out from the spout and fell into the teacup. Two cups of steaming hot tea were immediately completed.
His smiling face appeared a little ferocious in the mist, and he said in a gentle tone: "This painting is my sister's handiwork. Since you like it, then I will use the stream left on the Baishan Mountain to entertain you."
Drinking this will kill you!
But Wen Fuli didn't seem to be aware of the scalding temperature. He picked up a tea cup as white as jade, and looked around with his eyes bent, as if he was choosing which unlucky person.
Zhou Yan maintained a stiff smile, constantly thinking about how to deal with it.
Finally, he walked up to Ji Fangwei and said, "Come on, students, have some tea."
Bad luck fell on Ji Fangwei.
The hot air in the teacup rolled over his chiseled face, and even the eyelashes were stained with water.
Ji Fangwei took the teacup with both hands, with his usual expression, under Wen Fuli's expectant eyes, he drank the boiling water gracefully.
If a normal person drinks such boiling water, the mouth and esophagus will definitely be damaged.
When Ji Fangwei put down the steaming teacup, there was no change except that his lips became redder.
[Congratulations to players Ji Fangwei and Zhou Yan for gaining the favorability of the villager Wen Fuli +10, the current villager Wen Fuli's favorability is -10 (he doesn't hate you that much, it's still a bit dangerous)]
Next it was Zhou Yan's turn.
He couldn't help but squeezed the wooden handle under his hand, and watched Wen Fuli turn around to prepare another cup of hot tea.
The countdown of the system continues.
"Uh..." Whether to act impolitely or not is a difficult decision. The task has just begun, and there may be other situations in the house that need to deduct time.
And there is also the issue of favorability, every step of choice involves the development of three directions.
At this time, there was a sudden shrill cry from outside the door, which seemed to be the scream of a woman, mixed with pain and wailing, indicating that her master was suffering a terrible ordeal.
Zhou Yan was about to turn his head to look, when a voice came: "Don't turn your head."
It was Ji Fangwei who reminded him, he didn't turn his head, but looked at Wen Fuli coldly from the side.
Zhou Yan's neck was abruptly stopped by this sentence, which was stopped subconsciously. The cervical spine that was stopped in advance was still aching, but from the corner of his eyes, he still caught sight of a pair of white pointed shoes that appeared on the ground.
Zhou Yan's back gradually felt cold, he knew that the two paper figurine flower girls were close to his back, if Ji Fangwei hadn't reminded him, he would have met the eyes of those two paper figurines.
The howling of the female voice outside the door became more and more fierce, until it reached a peak, and then gradually disappeared.
Wen Fuli turned around and saw the situation outside the door, he shook his head and sighed, "Hey, another ignorant girl."
Who is it?
There was only one female voice, which meant that she was probably a little girl who performed the mission alone. What happened to her?
Wen Fuli didn't give Zhou Yan extra time to think. He picked up the boiling hot tea that he had just brewed, walked slowly to Zhou Yan, and said, "Student, I know you are the most polite person. Would you like this cup of tea?"
Can I refuse?
Zhou Yan stared at the green leaves floating up and down in the teacup, the rising heat almost blinded his eyes.If you drink it down, you won't have to speak in your life.
He took a deep breath, slowly raised his hand, and when he was about to catch the hot teacup, he said a word——
"Mr. Wen, I feel that my classmate likes this cup of tea very much. Would you like to give it to him? As a classmate, you should be friendly and courteous."
Zhou Yan pointed to Ji Fangwei who was observing him.
His voice was clear and eager, and his black and white eyes were full of friendship. He seemed to be a good classmate who was courteous to others.
Wen Fuli smiled even more happily. He was very satisfied that someone appreciated his tea art. Holding the teacup in both hands, he swayed towards Ji Fangwei's direction, and said as he walked, "What a good classmate! You are really friendly!"
【Ding!Congratulations to players Ji Fangwei and Zhou Yan for gaining the favorability of the villager Wen Fuli +10, the current villager Wen Fuli's favorability is 0 (you are just strangers, that's all)]
Ji Fangwei glared at Zhou Yan, and his cheeks puffed up a little unconsciously.
Zhou Yan completely let go of the hand that pinched his joints and white hair. His previous actions showed that the rules of this mission are that players must abide by the principles that the villagers uphold.
Before I was slightly separated from Ji Fangwei, the system reminded me that the time would be deducted, so it shows that friendship is one of the principles that the villagers uphold.
So, for the reason of being courteous to his classmates, asking Ji Fangwei to drink tea for him is obviously within the range that Wen Fuli can accept.
As for Ji Fangwei's personal wishes, since he helped himself once, it shouldn't be a problem to help him again, right?
Ji Fangwei couldn't refuse the host's warm hospitality, and once again took the extremely hot teacup with both hands, Ruoyou glanced at Zhou Yan, as if accusing him of betraying himself, and then drank it in one gulp.
Such scalding boiling water didn't seem to have any effect on him, even the expression on his face didn't change.
It's just that his hanging palms were tightly clenched into fists.
Zhou Yan knew that he couldn't hit him, but he also moved back secretly.
【Ding!Congratulations to players Ji Fangwei and Zhou Yan for gaining the favorability of villager Wen Fuli +10, the current villager Wen Fuli's favorability is 10 (you will soon become his guests)]
Wen Fuli returned to the main seat with two empty teacups in his hands, and said, "Students, I'm going to clean up the tea sets. You can stroll around as you please."
He slowly picked up the wooden tray and walked into the dark inner hall.
【Ding!Players Zhou Yan and Ji Fangwei completed the temporary task of entering the villagers' homes and gained the trust of the villagers. 】
[Get the side mission - gain the trust of the villager Wen Fuli. 】
【Current progress: (0/3)】
[Mission objective: Please abide by the rules of the villager Wen Fuli. 】
[Reminder: Please don't offend the host's rules]
【Countdown】
【65: 32】
【65: 31】
In the originally dark inner hall, a dark red lantern was lit up, illuminating the inner corridor.
But Zhou Yan clearly saw clearly before that there was obviously no corridor in that place, and this dark corridor appeared out of thin air.
Zhou Yan stood up slowly, he could still see the pointy white shoes on the ground out of the corner of his eye.
Two dedicated paper figurines are monitoring their every move. If they can't turn back, they must go to that weird corridor.
Ji Fangwei and Zhou Yan looked at each other, seeing disgust in each other's eyes.
"This place is weird." Zhou Yan spoke first.
Ji Fangwei drank two cups of hot tea, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his face, he also looked at the drowsy corridor, and said, "Why did you choose this person?"
Zhou Yan smiled slightly and said, "Because he looks like Qi Sixian."
Ji Fangwei didn't expect Zhou Yan to think so, and recalled the looks of Wen Fuli and Qi Sixian a little bit, but unfortunately he didn't have the talent in this area, so he couldn't detect the similarities between the two.
Zhou Yan walked to the center of the living room and said: "The npcs named Qi Sixian and Hu Ling have an option to be unlocked. I feel that they should have some kind of connection with this village. When I was wandering on the street, I found Wen Fuli Very similar to him."
Ji Fangwei walked to the dark corridor and said, "But, he seems to be hiding something."
"and many more."
Zhou Yan was calling to stop Ji Fangwei who was about to act.
He went straight to the painting and said, "I want to see this painting again."
The picture is still the strange pair of white mountains and black water.
The artist of this painting is not highly skilled, perhaps it was created by Wen Fuli in his spare time.
Zhou Yan couldn't help but stepped forward to observe carefully. If it was drawn by Wen Fuli, then he probably depicted the landscape of Huaishui Village.
It is also a good choice to obtain first-hand information.
Wait, there's something wrong with this drawing.
He took another step forward, his eyelashes almost poked on the paper, his eyes scanned back and forth on the rushing black water, and the scenery in the painting was almost reflected in his glass-like pupils.
The drawing of the water flow is wrong.
The water flow in landscape paintings generally takes the arc as the flow direction of the water flow.Generally, water flows from east to west, but the water flow in this painting is completely opposite.
And these arcs representing the direction of water flow are completely hidden in the technique of splashing ink. What secret is hidden in this painting?
No.
Zhou Yan couldn't help taking a step back, his eyes extended from the hanging paintings to the entire Chinese-style living room, and he finally understood why he had noticed something strange since he entered Wen Fuli's home.
There is something wrong with this house, it's the complete opposite!
The boy and girl paper figurines he saw in the guest house were male on the left and female on the right.
And when he entered the house just now, the paper figurines in Wen Fuli's house were facing inwards and their backs facing outwards, so he didn't notice that the left and right positions of the paper figurines were swapped.
The reason why they didn't notice anything strange when they first stepped into this living room was because the decoration of this hall was completely symmetrical with the central axis as the main axis, which led to the fact that the two of them didn't discover the truth.
In ancient Fangzheng residences, although the standard was symmetry, the corridor leading to the inner hall was generally set on the east side, while the inner hall corridor in this house was on the west side.
Ji Fangwei followed his gaze, and said slowly: "There is a problem with this house, it's completely the opposite."
Zhou Yan pushed back a few steps. On the left side of the living room, symmetrical to the dim corridor, he tentatively stretched out his hand to the empty door panel.
Fingertips touched the board.
【Ding!Congratulations to player Zhou Yan and player Ji Fangwei for triggering important side missions—please help solve the villagers’ troubles. 】
[Reminder: Please players make the right decision. 】
The moment the system task sounded in his mind, the wooden door that Zhou Yan touched rippled away like water ripples.
He quickly took a few steps back.
Like the corridor on the right, an identical dark corridor appeared on the originally wooden walls, and even the red lanterns swaying above were exactly the same.
Ji Fangwei also came to the corridor that just appeared, and said: "The previous mission has not been cancelled."
Zhou Yan was taken aback for a moment, which meant that the two tasks were superimposed, and there were three layers of tasks accumulated on them.
At the same time, the rules of the task were repeatedly suppressed on the two of them.
The first task was arranged by Qi Sixian to collect information on feudal superstitions in Huaishui Village; the second task was to gain the trust of the villager Wen Fuli; the third task was to solve the villagers' troubles.
It seems that the villager in the third mission is not Wen Fuli, who could it be?
"Explanation, this task is very critical."
Even though he said so, he was still a little afraid of the red lanterns swaying on the ceiling, and when he wanted to continue observing, he suddenly bumped into a cold and soft object behind him.
You don't need to turn your head to know that it is the pair of paper figurines, they are urging the player to go to the inner hall.
The feeling of being touched by them is very uncomfortable, as if that piece of flesh is frozen, and the numb itching gradually spreads to the whole body.
Zhou Yan moved slowly, trying not to let the paper figurine touch him, and said, "What's the situation in the room that just appeared?"
Ji Fangwei said: "When I came in just now, the boys and girls at the door were normal."
This shows that the furnishings in the house changed the moment they stepped into the room.
But Wen Fuli, the owner here, didn't seem to notice it. Did he deliberately pretend not to know, or did he really not notice?
A cold and icy soft ball was pressed against his back, Zhou Yan, urged by the paper figurine, said, "Go in first."
Zhou Yan and Ji Fang were the only ones who entered the newly appeared dim corridor and heard the system's prompt.
【Ding!Players Ji Fangwei and Zhou Yan explore the villager's room, and they are 1/3 away from solving the villagers' troubles. 】
There are two other maps that illustrate the scene at home.
This house looks like a farmhouse from the outside, but when you enter the inner hall, you feel that there is a strange cave and a deep space.
Seven or eight blood-red lanterns hung from the ceiling, quietly emitting dim light, like scarlet ghost eyes peeping in the dark.
On both sides of the corridor illuminated by the red candlelight, there are paper-pasted carved wooden windows. There should be four houses in detail, and faint shadows are reflected in the translucent beige window paper.
Zhou Yan only dared to take a look, and immediately walked forward without squinting.
At the end of the corridor is a mahogany frame with a simple bronze mirror and a copper washbasin underneath.
The bronze mirror was facing Zhou Yan and Ji Fangwei. The two entered the corridor unexpectedly, and saw two dull and distorted faces from the blurred mirror.
Facing the door with a mirror is a very unlucky decoration in Feng Shui.
This somewhat superstitious thought involuntarily popped up in Zhou Yan's mind.
And the two boys and girls were following Zhou Yan and Ji Fangwei step by step, their snow-white heads raised slightly, and their blank eye sockets were staring at the two outside guests.
The two accidentally saw the blank eye sockets of the paper figurine, but nothing unusual happened.
Zhou Yan pointed to the paper figurine and said, "Maybe through the refraction of the mirror, you can look directly into the paper figurine's eyes."
【60: 23】
【60: 22】
There is one hour left in the remaining time. If the owner does not take the mirror away, it will definitely be punished as impolite behavior and the time will be deducted.
Ji Fangwei also noticed the bronze mirror and said, "Take it."
Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows, this task is indeed very interesting, time will be deducted for behaviors that do not conform to Wen Fuli, and he has to discuss with his team members.
He took down the bronze mirror at the end of the corridor, but the system didn't give any prompt.
This rule should be a disrespectful behavior discovered by the master, so the time will be deducted and a favorable rule about the task will be obtained.
【Ding!Congratulations to player Zhou Yan for getting the common item—Bronze Mirror. 】
Zhou Yan checked the bronze mirror over and over. One side was carved with grape branch patterns, and the other side was a mirror covered with dust.
The entire mirror does not feel heavy, and it should be an item that ordinary women in ancient times used casually.
He wiped off the dust on it with his hands, and the mirror surface was much cleaner immediately, and it could already reflect people's shadows.
The bronze mirror has not been sharpened for a long time, and it vaguely reflects the appearance of a young man.
However, after a while, his eyes suddenly widened, as if he saw a very terrifying scene.
On the upper left side of the face, on the dim ceiling lay a woman in white, her smooth and cold black hair tightly pressed against his shoulders.
Zhou Yan felt that that piece of skin was going to rot from the cold.
Her entire body was stuck to the ceiling like a gecko, her head was bent backwards at an inhuman angle, and her cheeks were almost completely twisted. The face seemed to have been exploded in half from the center, leaving no facial features at all, leaving only the bloody The flesh petals, piled up on the face in circles, are still slightly opening and closing as if breathing.
……
Zhou Yan gasped, quickly covered the mirror, couldn't help taking a few steps back, and looked up at the ceiling.
And the woman also noticed Zhou Yan's movement, as if she was frightened, she climbed to the ceiling of the corridor on the right in an instant.
Right corridor!
Just now there was no hallway at all!
But the moment the woman disappeared, a dark corridor suddenly appeared on the right.
"Chase!"
Ji Fangwei issued instructions concisely, and the figure flashed and disappeared.
Zhou Yan looked at the weird red lanterns above his head, felt the cold air coming from behind him again, and finally gritted his teeth and followed.
The two followed the trail of the woman in white to the right corridor of the house, with only a broken lantern above their heads.
At the end of the corridor, the woman in white was curled up in the corner, with her head bowed deeply, her pale and thin hands covering her head tightly, trembling all over, her long black hair was tangled around her thin clothes.
【Ding!Congratulations to players Zhou Yan and Ji Fangwei for solving the villagers' troubles and completing the progress (2/3)]
[Congratulations to player Ji Fangwei and player Zhou Yan for obtaining the illustrated book of characters. 】
【name:? ? 】
【identity:? ? 】
[Introduction:? ? 】
[Others: to be unlocked]
The dark lantern above the head moved without wind, gradually emitting a flickering red light, which made the bloody face even more terrifying.
"Who is she from Wen Fuli?" Zhou Yan paused, not daring to go forward.
Ji Fangwei: "The paper man behind him didn't follow."
Hearing this, Zhou Yan used a mirror to look back, and the two paper figurines did not follow. He had a bad feeling and said, "Could it be that he tipped off Wen Fuli..."
Ji Fangwei: "It should be."
Just as Zhou Yan was about to say something, Ji Fangwei made a silent gesture, took out a piece of soft black cloth from somewhere, and covered the two of them.
This piece of cloth is soft and delicate to the touch, and when it is attached to Zhou Yan's body, it automatically adheres to his skin, and the seemingly opaque cloth can clearly see the outside scene.
Ji Fangwei signaled Zhou Yan not to act rashly with his eyes.
This is very similar to the legendary invisibility cloak.
Then, the two heard footsteps.
Wen Fuli came from another place in a hurry, his expression was no longer as gentle as before, but cold as ice, looking around with vigilant eyes.
The two little paper figurines followed behind him faithfully, Zhou Yan was startled, and immediately turned around, but bumped into something hard on his forehead.
Looking up, I saw Ji Fangwei covering his nose, his eyes were full of displeasure.
Zhou Yan shrugged, indicating that he should have done it on purpose.
The two turned around at the same time, Zhou Yan took out the bronze mirror and looked back, Ji Fangwei couldn't help but leaned over to observe.
Wen Fuli walked up to the woman in white and asked in a low voice, "Why are you out again!"
The woman in white locked herself in the corner of the wall even more fearfully, her slender hands waved again and again, her facial features were all destroyed, and she was unable to speak any words.
Wen Fuli knew that he couldn't get an answer to his inquiry, so he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the woman's hair, lifting her up.
Zhou Yan found that her ears had also been cut off, leaving only two dark piercings.
In the next scene, Zhou Yan couldn't help but tense all the muscles in his body.
Wen Fuli raised his fist and slammed it hard at the bloody cheek, but said slowly, "Did anyone see you?"
The woman in white shrank back in pain, her whole thin body bent into a ball, like a pale frozen rotten shrimp.
Zhou Yan couldn't help but wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Ji Fangwei, who motioned Zhou Yan to continue looking down.
Wen Fuli hit her face dozens of times, smiled again, grabbed her hair, and smashed her whole head against the wall with such force that even the lights above her head began to vibrate.
Under such inhumane beatings, the woman in white was still shaking her limbs indiscriminately.
Zhou Yan frowned. If ordinary people were beaten like this, they would faint or struggle weakly.
Immediately, he found that Wen Fuli's hands were not stained with any blood, and there was no blood splashed on the wall.
Zhou Yan held his breath, he vaguely had a guess.
This woman, maybe not human?
What is their relationship?
Wen Fuli seemed a little tired, panting, he loosened the woman's hair in white, and said, "You still want to escape? Where are you going? You can only stay here obediently."
He turned around slowly, and said to the two paper figurines, "Have you seen those two students? I'm afraid they are also looking for someone."
Boys and girls shook their heads slowly at the same time.
It turned out that they were not going to report their whereabouts to Wen Fuli, but to report the whereabouts of this paper girl.
Wen Fuli stroked his long beard and muttered to himself: "Hey, it's really not easy."
After that, his eyes were all bright, he grabbed the woman in white by the hair, dragged her to a room, opened the door, and threw her in without mercy.
Then he inserted the door lock firmly, and he was quite helplessly relieved. After shaking his head, he staggered towards the kitchen with his hands behind his back.
Zhou Yan was pulled by Ji Fangwei, and he motioned to check the room where the woman was.
When the two of them wore the invisibility cloak and walked towards the house lightly, Zhou Yandi glanced at the paper man behind Wen Fuli from the corner of his eye and seemed to "look" at him.
Zhou Yan paused, and the paper man turned his head, leaving only a black head for him.
It seems that these paper figurines are not serving their masters wholeheartedly, perhaps Wen Fuli is not their master.
The lock is made of brass, where is the key?
Just as Zhou Yan was thinking about how to get the key, he saw Ji Fangwei stretching out his slender fingers. With just a pinch with his index finger and thumb, the entire copper lock was twisted into two pieces. With a slight click sound, the lock was completely destroyed. up.
Zhou Yan suddenly wanted to apologize for his reckless behavior just now. This person must have added all his points to strength.
【Ding!The player Zhou Yan secretly took the bronze mirror from the villager's house. This is an act of theft, and the time will be deducted for 20 minutes. 】
[Congratulations to players Ji Fangwei and Zhou Yan for getting the favorability of the villager Wen Fuli -30, the current villager Wen Fuli's favorability is -20 (he doesn't like you very much, run away!)]
【35: 45】
【35: 44】
Oops!
I didn't expect that the time of deduction would be related to the severity of the behavior.
Zhou Yan and Ji Fangwei heard heavy footsteps not far away, and Wen Fuli's gloomy voice came from the end of the deep corridor: "I found you!"
The author says:
I'm so excited, thank you for your support, my head is buzzing;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Villager's Secret
He went straight to the side of the living room, and kicked a chair to the square table in front of the living room. He had mastered the strength very well, and the chair was stopping by the wall without leaning to one side.
Zhou Yan realized in an instant that the arrangement of the living room did not conform to the proper rules. There should be two chairs next to the square table in the living room, which are for the hostess and hostess of this room.
He also immediately lifted the chair on the other side and put it in its proper place.
When the chair had just returned to its place, the light in the house dimmed, and the villager had already walked into the room. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he said, "What are you doing?"
No more time deductions!
There was a thin layer of sweat on Zhou Yan's back, and he said anxiously, "We are admiring this hanging painting."
Upon hearing this, the villagers immediately restored their original smiling faces and asked, "Really?"
"Yes, the painting is very good." Zhou Yan praised sincerely, "White mountains and black water, unrestrained and unrestrained, very beautiful."
The villagers listened to Zhou Yan's nonsense with a smile, and finally waved their hands with satisfaction, and said, "People in the city can talk. If you like, I will give this to you. Please sit down, two students."
Zhou Yan and Ji Fangwei rarely looked at each other, and they sat in the guest seats on both sides of the living room that belonged to outsiders.
Finally being able to sit down, Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief, there are still four or ten minutes left, as long as he slowly follows the rules, there should be no problem.
And for the time being, his teammates discovered the pattern immediately, so he shouldn't have to worry about it.

Zhou Yangang wanted to stand up and introduce himself, but then he thought about whether it would be "impolite" to stand up without the consent of the so-called master, and if he did this, he would lose all his time sooner or later!
But sitting on a chair and introducing himself seems even more rude, how should he choose?
"Brother, what's your surname?" Zhou Yan asked this question nervously. Knowing the master's name first seems to be the safest answer so far.
"My surname is Wen, Wen Fuli."

[Favourability: -20 (He doesn't like you, which is very dangerous)]
There was actually a good impression, Zhou Yan looked at the smiling Wen Fuli, they seemed to have chosen a tricky task object this time.
Wen Fuli sat in the host's seat, still smiling. He looked at the two teacups and sighed, "The outsider is a guest. It's because Mr. Wen didn't treat you well. Why didn't he serve you tea."
Zhou Yan looked at the copper pot that was emitting the sound of snoring water, and had a bad feeling.
Wen Fuli got up and picked up the kettle. Hot water poured out from the spout and fell into the teacup. Two cups of steaming hot tea were immediately completed.
His smiling face appeared a little ferocious in the mist, and he said in a gentle tone: "This painting is my sister's handiwork. Since you like it, then I will use the stream left on the Baishan Mountain to entertain you."
Drinking this will kill you!
But Wen Fuli didn't seem to be aware of the scalding temperature. He picked up a tea cup as white as jade, and looked around with his eyes bent, as if he was choosing which unlucky person.
Zhou Yan maintained a stiff smile, constantly thinking about how to deal with it.
Finally, he walked up to Ji Fangwei and said, "Come on, students, have some tea."
Bad luck fell on Ji Fangwei.
The hot air in the teacup rolled over his chiseled face, and even the eyelashes were stained with water.
Ji Fangwei took the teacup with both hands, with his usual expression, under Wen Fuli's expectant eyes, he drank the boiling water gracefully.
If a normal person drinks such boiling water, the mouth and esophagus will definitely be damaged.
When Ji Fangwei put down the steaming teacup, there was no change except that his lips became redder.
[Congratulations to players Ji Fangwei and Zhou Yan for gaining the favorability of the villager Wen Fuli +10, the current villager Wen Fuli's favorability is -10 (he doesn't hate you that much, it's still a bit dangerous)]
Next it was Zhou Yan's turn.
He couldn't help but squeezed the wooden handle under his hand, and watched Wen Fuli turn around to prepare another cup of hot tea.
The countdown of the system continues.
"Uh..." Whether to act impolitely or not is a difficult decision. The task has just begun, and there may be other situations in the house that need to deduct time.
And there is also the issue of favorability, every step of choice involves the development of three directions.
At this time, there was a sudden shrill cry from outside the door, which seemed to be the scream of a woman, mixed with pain and wailing, indicating that her master was suffering a terrible ordeal.
Zhou Yan was about to turn his head to look, when a voice came: "Don't turn your head."
It was Ji Fangwei who reminded him, he didn't turn his head, but looked at Wen Fuli coldly from the side.
Zhou Yan's neck was abruptly stopped by this sentence, which was stopped subconsciously. The cervical spine that was stopped in advance was still aching, but from the corner of his eyes, he still caught sight of a pair of white pointed shoes that appeared on the ground.
Zhou Yan's back gradually felt cold, he knew that the two paper figurine flower girls were close to his back, if Ji Fangwei hadn't reminded him, he would have met the eyes of those two paper figurines.
The howling of the female voice outside the door became more and more fierce, until it reached a peak, and then gradually disappeared.
Wen Fuli turned around and saw the situation outside the door, he shook his head and sighed, "Hey, another ignorant girl."
Who is it?
There was only one female voice, which meant that she was probably a little girl who performed the mission alone. What happened to her?
Wen Fuli didn't give Zhou Yan extra time to think. He picked up the boiling hot tea that he had just brewed, walked slowly to Zhou Yan, and said, "Student, I know you are the most polite person. Would you like this cup of tea?"
Can I refuse?
Zhou Yan stared at the green leaves floating up and down in the teacup, the rising heat almost blinded his eyes.If you drink it down, you won't have to speak in your life.
He took a deep breath, slowly raised his hand, and when he was about to catch the hot teacup, he said a word——
"Mr. Wen, I feel that my classmate likes this cup of tea very much. Would you like to give it to him? As a classmate, you should be friendly and courteous."
Zhou Yan pointed to Ji Fangwei who was observing him.
His voice was clear and eager, and his black and white eyes were full of friendship. He seemed to be a good classmate who was courteous to others.
Wen Fuli smiled even more happily. He was very satisfied that someone appreciated his tea art. Holding the teacup in both hands, he swayed towards Ji Fangwei's direction, and said as he walked, "What a good classmate! You are really friendly!"
【Ding!Congratulations to players Ji Fangwei and Zhou Yan for gaining the favorability of the villager Wen Fuli +10, the current villager Wen Fuli's favorability is 0 (you are just strangers, that's all)]
Ji Fangwei glared at Zhou Yan, and his cheeks puffed up a little unconsciously.
Zhou Yan completely let go of the hand that pinched his joints and white hair. His previous actions showed that the rules of this mission are that players must abide by the principles that the villagers uphold.
Before I was slightly separated from Ji Fangwei, the system reminded me that the time would be deducted, so it shows that friendship is one of the principles that the villagers uphold.
So, for the reason of being courteous to his classmates, asking Ji Fangwei to drink tea for him is obviously within the range that Wen Fuli can accept.
As for Ji Fangwei's personal wishes, since he helped himself once, it shouldn't be a problem to help him again, right?
Ji Fangwei couldn't refuse the host's warm hospitality, and once again took the extremely hot teacup with both hands, Ruoyou glanced at Zhou Yan, as if accusing him of betraying himself, and then drank it in one gulp.
Such scalding boiling water didn't seem to have any effect on him, even the expression on his face didn't change.
It's just that his hanging palms were tightly clenched into fists.
Zhou Yan knew that he couldn't hit him, but he also moved back secretly.
【Ding!Congratulations to players Ji Fangwei and Zhou Yan for gaining the favorability of villager Wen Fuli +10, the current villager Wen Fuli's favorability is 10 (you will soon become his guests)]
Wen Fuli returned to the main seat with two empty teacups in his hands, and said, "Students, I'm going to clean up the tea sets. You can stroll around as you please."
He slowly picked up the wooden tray and walked into the dark inner hall.
【Ding!Players Zhou Yan and Ji Fangwei completed the temporary task of entering the villagers' homes and gained the trust of the villagers. 】
[Get the side mission - gain the trust of the villager Wen Fuli. 】
【Current progress: (0/3)】
[Mission objective: Please abide by the rules of the villager Wen Fuli. 】
[Reminder: Please don't offend the host's rules]
【Countdown】
【65: 32】
【65: 31】
In the originally dark inner hall, a dark red lantern was lit up, illuminating the inner corridor.
But Zhou Yan clearly saw clearly before that there was obviously no corridor in that place, and this dark corridor appeared out of thin air.
Zhou Yan stood up slowly, he could still see the pointy white shoes on the ground out of the corner of his eye.
Two dedicated paper figurines are monitoring their every move. If they can't turn back, they must go to that weird corridor.
Ji Fangwei and Zhou Yan looked at each other, seeing disgust in each other's eyes.
"This place is weird." Zhou Yan spoke first.
Ji Fangwei drank two cups of hot tea, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his face, he also looked at the drowsy corridor, and said, "Why did you choose this person?"
Zhou Yan smiled slightly and said, "Because he looks like Qi Sixian."
Ji Fangwei didn't expect Zhou Yan to think so, and recalled the looks of Wen Fuli and Qi Sixian a little bit, but unfortunately he didn't have the talent in this area, so he couldn't detect the similarities between the two.
Zhou Yan walked to the center of the living room and said: "The npcs named Qi Sixian and Hu Ling have an option to be unlocked. I feel that they should have some kind of connection with this village. When I was wandering on the street, I found Wen Fuli Very similar to him."
Ji Fangwei walked to the dark corridor and said, "But, he seems to be hiding something."
"and many more."
Zhou Yan was calling to stop Ji Fangwei who was about to act.
He went straight to the painting and said, "I want to see this painting again."
The picture is still the strange pair of white mountains and black water.
The artist of this painting is not highly skilled, perhaps it was created by Wen Fuli in his spare time.
Zhou Yan couldn't help but stepped forward to observe carefully. If it was drawn by Wen Fuli, then he probably depicted the landscape of Huaishui Village.
It is also a good choice to obtain first-hand information.
Wait, there's something wrong with this drawing.
He took another step forward, his eyelashes almost poked on the paper, his eyes scanned back and forth on the rushing black water, and the scenery in the painting was almost reflected in his glass-like pupils.
The drawing of the water flow is wrong.
The water flow in landscape paintings generally takes the arc as the flow direction of the water flow.Generally, water flows from east to west, but the water flow in this painting is completely opposite.
And these arcs representing the direction of water flow are completely hidden in the technique of splashing ink. What secret is hidden in this painting?
No.
Zhou Yan couldn't help taking a step back, his eyes extended from the hanging paintings to the entire Chinese-style living room, and he finally understood why he had noticed something strange since he entered Wen Fuli's home.
There is something wrong with this house, it's the complete opposite!
The boy and girl paper figurines he saw in the guest house were male on the left and female on the right.
And when he entered the house just now, the paper figurines in Wen Fuli's house were facing inwards and their backs facing outwards, so he didn't notice that the left and right positions of the paper figurines were swapped.
The reason why they didn't notice anything strange when they first stepped into this living room was because the decoration of this hall was completely symmetrical with the central axis as the main axis, which led to the fact that the two of them didn't discover the truth.
In ancient Fangzheng residences, although the standard was symmetry, the corridor leading to the inner hall was generally set on the east side, while the inner hall corridor in this house was on the west side.
Ji Fangwei followed his gaze, and said slowly: "There is a problem with this house, it's completely the opposite."
Zhou Yan pushed back a few steps. On the left side of the living room, symmetrical to the dim corridor, he tentatively stretched out his hand to the empty door panel.
Fingertips touched the board.
【Ding!Congratulations to player Zhou Yan and player Ji Fangwei for triggering important side missions—please help solve the villagers’ troubles. 】
[Reminder: Please players make the right decision. 】
The moment the system task sounded in his mind, the wooden door that Zhou Yan touched rippled away like water ripples.
He quickly took a few steps back.
Like the corridor on the right, an identical dark corridor appeared on the originally wooden walls, and even the red lanterns swaying above were exactly the same.
Ji Fangwei also came to the corridor that just appeared, and said: "The previous mission has not been cancelled."
Zhou Yan was taken aback for a moment, which meant that the two tasks were superimposed, and there were three layers of tasks accumulated on them.
At the same time, the rules of the task were repeatedly suppressed on the two of them.
The first task was arranged by Qi Sixian to collect information on feudal superstitions in Huaishui Village; the second task was to gain the trust of the villager Wen Fuli; the third task was to solve the villagers' troubles.
It seems that the villager in the third mission is not Wen Fuli, who could it be?
"Explanation, this task is very critical."
Even though he said so, he was still a little afraid of the red lanterns swaying on the ceiling, and when he wanted to continue observing, he suddenly bumped into a cold and soft object behind him.
You don't need to turn your head to know that it is the pair of paper figurines, they are urging the player to go to the inner hall.
The feeling of being touched by them is very uncomfortable, as if that piece of flesh is frozen, and the numb itching gradually spreads to the whole body.
Zhou Yan moved slowly, trying not to let the paper figurine touch him, and said, "What's the situation in the room that just appeared?"
Ji Fangwei said: "When I came in just now, the boys and girls at the door were normal."
This shows that the furnishings in the house changed the moment they stepped into the room.
But Wen Fuli, the owner here, didn't seem to notice it. Did he deliberately pretend not to know, or did he really not notice?
A cold and icy soft ball was pressed against his back, Zhou Yan, urged by the paper figurine, said, "Go in first."
Zhou Yan and Ji Fang were the only ones who entered the newly appeared dim corridor and heard the system's prompt.
【Ding!Players Ji Fangwei and Zhou Yan explore the villager's room, and they are 1/3 away from solving the villagers' troubles. 】
There are two other maps that illustrate the scene at home.
This house looks like a farmhouse from the outside, but when you enter the inner hall, you feel that there is a strange cave and a deep space.
Seven or eight blood-red lanterns hung from the ceiling, quietly emitting dim light, like scarlet ghost eyes peeping in the dark.
On both sides of the corridor illuminated by the red candlelight, there are paper-pasted carved wooden windows. There should be four houses in detail, and faint shadows are reflected in the translucent beige window paper.
Zhou Yan only dared to take a look, and immediately walked forward without squinting.
At the end of the corridor is a mahogany frame with a simple bronze mirror and a copper washbasin underneath.
The bronze mirror was facing Zhou Yan and Ji Fangwei. The two entered the corridor unexpectedly, and saw two dull and distorted faces from the blurred mirror.
Facing the door with a mirror is a very unlucky decoration in Feng Shui.
This somewhat superstitious thought involuntarily popped up in Zhou Yan's mind.
And the two boys and girls were following Zhou Yan and Ji Fangwei step by step, their snow-white heads raised slightly, and their blank eye sockets were staring at the two outside guests.
The two accidentally saw the blank eye sockets of the paper figurine, but nothing unusual happened.
Zhou Yan pointed to the paper figurine and said, "Maybe through the refraction of the mirror, you can look directly into the paper figurine's eyes."
【60: 23】
【60: 22】
There is one hour left in the remaining time. If the owner does not take the mirror away, it will definitely be punished as impolite behavior and the time will be deducted.
Ji Fangwei also noticed the bronze mirror and said, "Take it."
Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows, this task is indeed very interesting, time will be deducted for behaviors that do not conform to Wen Fuli, and he has to discuss with his team members.
He took down the bronze mirror at the end of the corridor, but the system didn't give any prompt.
This rule should be a disrespectful behavior discovered by the master, so the time will be deducted and a favorable rule about the task will be obtained.
【Ding!Congratulations to player Zhou Yan for getting the common item—Bronze Mirror. 】
Zhou Yan checked the bronze mirror over and over. One side was carved with grape branch patterns, and the other side was a mirror covered with dust.
The entire mirror does not feel heavy, and it should be an item that ordinary women in ancient times used casually.
He wiped off the dust on it with his hands, and the mirror surface was much cleaner immediately, and it could already reflect people's shadows.
The bronze mirror has not been sharpened for a long time, and it vaguely reflects the appearance of a young man.
However, after a while, his eyes suddenly widened, as if he saw a very terrifying scene.
On the upper left side of the face, on the dim ceiling lay a woman in white, her smooth and cold black hair tightly pressed against his shoulders.
Zhou Yan felt that that piece of skin was going to rot from the cold.
Her entire body was stuck to the ceiling like a gecko, her head was bent backwards at an inhuman angle, and her cheeks were almost completely twisted. The face seemed to have been exploded in half from the center, leaving no facial features at all, leaving only the bloody The flesh petals, piled up on the face in circles, are still slightly opening and closing as if breathing.
……
Zhou Yan gasped, quickly covered the mirror, couldn't help taking a few steps back, and looked up at the ceiling.
And the woman also noticed Zhou Yan's movement, as if she was frightened, she climbed to the ceiling of the corridor on the right in an instant.
Right corridor!
Just now there was no hallway at all!
But the moment the woman disappeared, a dark corridor suddenly appeared on the right.
"Chase!"
Ji Fangwei issued instructions concisely, and the figure flashed and disappeared.
Zhou Yan looked at the weird red lanterns above his head, felt the cold air coming from behind him again, and finally gritted his teeth and followed.
The two followed the trail of the woman in white to the right corridor of the house, with only a broken lantern above their heads.
At the end of the corridor, the woman in white was curled up in the corner, with her head bowed deeply, her pale and thin hands covering her head tightly, trembling all over, her long black hair was tangled around her thin clothes.
【Ding!Congratulations to players Zhou Yan and Ji Fangwei for solving the villagers' troubles and completing the progress (2/3)]
[Congratulations to player Ji Fangwei and player Zhou Yan for obtaining the illustrated book of characters. 】
【name:? ? 】
【identity:? ? 】
[Introduction:? ? 】
[Others: to be unlocked]
The dark lantern above the head moved without wind, gradually emitting a flickering red light, which made the bloody face even more terrifying.
"Who is she from Wen Fuli?" Zhou Yan paused, not daring to go forward.
Ji Fangwei: "The paper man behind him didn't follow."
Hearing this, Zhou Yan used a mirror to look back, and the two paper figurines did not follow. He had a bad feeling and said, "Could it be that he tipped off Wen Fuli..."
Ji Fangwei: "It should be."
Just as Zhou Yan was about to say something, Ji Fangwei made a silent gesture, took out a piece of soft black cloth from somewhere, and covered the two of them.
This piece of cloth is soft and delicate to the touch, and when it is attached to Zhou Yan's body, it automatically adheres to his skin, and the seemingly opaque cloth can clearly see the outside scene.
Ji Fangwei signaled Zhou Yan not to act rashly with his eyes.
This is very similar to the legendary invisibility cloak.
Then, the two heard footsteps.
Wen Fuli came from another place in a hurry, his expression was no longer as gentle as before, but cold as ice, looking around with vigilant eyes.
The two little paper figurines followed behind him faithfully, Zhou Yan was startled, and immediately turned around, but bumped into something hard on his forehead.
Looking up, I saw Ji Fangwei covering his nose, his eyes were full of displeasure.
Zhou Yan shrugged, indicating that he should have done it on purpose.
The two turned around at the same time, Zhou Yan took out the bronze mirror and looked back, Ji Fangwei couldn't help but leaned over to observe.
Wen Fuli walked up to the woman in white and asked in a low voice, "Why are you out again!"
The woman in white locked herself in the corner of the wall even more fearfully, her slender hands waved again and again, her facial features were all destroyed, and she was unable to speak any words.
Wen Fuli knew that he couldn't get an answer to his inquiry, so he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the woman's hair, lifting her up.
Zhou Yan found that her ears had also been cut off, leaving only two dark piercings.
In the next scene, Zhou Yan couldn't help but tense all the muscles in his body.
Wen Fuli raised his fist and slammed it hard at the bloody cheek, but said slowly, "Did anyone see you?"
The woman in white shrank back in pain, her whole thin body bent into a ball, like a pale frozen rotten shrimp.
Zhou Yan couldn't help but wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Ji Fangwei, who motioned Zhou Yan to continue looking down.
Wen Fuli hit her face dozens of times, smiled again, grabbed her hair, and smashed her whole head against the wall with such force that even the lights above her head began to vibrate.
Under such inhumane beatings, the woman in white was still shaking her limbs indiscriminately.
Zhou Yan frowned. If ordinary people were beaten like this, they would faint or struggle weakly.
Immediately, he found that Wen Fuli's hands were not stained with any blood, and there was no blood splashed on the wall.
Zhou Yan held his breath, he vaguely had a guess.
This woman, maybe not human?
What is their relationship?
Wen Fuli seemed a little tired, panting, he loosened the woman's hair in white, and said, "You still want to escape? Where are you going? You can only stay here obediently."
He turned around slowly, and said to the two paper figurines, "Have you seen those two students? I'm afraid they are also looking for someone."
Boys and girls shook their heads slowly at the same time.
It turned out that they were not going to report their whereabouts to Wen Fuli, but to report the whereabouts of this paper girl.
Wen Fuli stroked his long beard and muttered to himself: "Hey, it's really not easy."
After that, his eyes were all bright, he grabbed the woman in white by the hair, dragged her to a room, opened the door, and threw her in without mercy.
Then he inserted the door lock firmly, and he was quite helplessly relieved. After shaking his head, he staggered towards the kitchen with his hands behind his back.
Zhou Yan was pulled by Ji Fangwei, and he motioned to check the room where the woman was.
When the two of them wore the invisibility cloak and walked towards the house lightly, Zhou Yandi glanced at the paper man behind Wen Fuli from the corner of his eye and seemed to "look" at him.
Zhou Yan paused, and the paper man turned his head, leaving only a black head for him.
It seems that these paper figurines are not serving their masters wholeheartedly, perhaps Wen Fuli is not their master.
The lock is made of brass, where is the key?
Just as Zhou Yan was thinking about how to get the key, he saw Ji Fangwei stretching out his slender fingers. With just a pinch with his index finger and thumb, the entire copper lock was twisted into two pieces. With a slight click sound, the lock was completely destroyed. up.
Zhou Yan suddenly wanted to apologize for his reckless behavior just now. This person must have added all his points to strength.
【Ding!The player Zhou Yan secretly took the bronze mirror from the villager's house. This is an act of theft, and the time will be deducted for 20 minutes. 】
[Congratulations to players Ji Fangwei and Zhou Yan for getting the favorability of the villager Wen Fuli -30, the current villager Wen Fuli's favorability is -20 (he doesn't like you very much, run away!)]
【35: 45】
【35: 44】
Oops!
I didn't expect that the time of deduction would be related to the severity of the behavior.
Zhou Yan and Ji Fangwei heard heavy footsteps not far away, and Wen Fuli's gloomy voice came from the end of the deep corridor: "I found you!"
The author says:
I'm so excited, thank you for your support, my head is buzzing;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
