I practice Buddhism in an escape game

The elder brother mentioned by the child is named Zaida, and the place to live is really easy to find. Half of the peaches on the two peach trees in front of the door have been picked, and the rest are plump and round, exuding an attractive sweet fragrance.

Xiang Feifan and Sang Jingming put on their official robes again, and knocked on the door of everyone's house.

Seeing Xiang Feifan and Sang Jingming, Zai Da was stunned for a moment: "Are you two officials?"

"Exactly." Xiang Feifan nodded: "I want to know about some situations, please cooperate."

"This..." Zai Da's eyes wandered, as if he was a little bit resistant.

"Can I go in and talk?" Xiang Feifan rarely showed some strength.It can be seen that the other party is a very indecisive and not very assertive man. At this time, showing strength appropriately at this time is more conducive to making the other party obedient.

"Please, please." Sure enough, Zai Da gave up the position at the door and invited the two into the room.

Entering the room, Xiang Feifan took a look around. Zai Da's house is quite simple, and it can be seen that he is not rich.And because the hostess was negligent in cleaning, it looked a little messy.But there was a muddy vase on the window sill, with withered peach branches inserted in it, and a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on the corner of the stained bed sheet.There is also a small string of stone ornaments hanging on the head of the bed. It can be seen that a girl with a little romance lived here.

But the host kept these things, whether it was because he was careless and forgot to clean them up, or because he still missed his wife who turned into a monster.

"The peach tree at the door is growing very well, do you often take care of it?" Xiang Feifan started by picking a lighter topic.

"Hmm." Zai Da looked nervous, pinching his left thumb with his right hand and rubbing it vigorously.

"How long has the peach tree been planted?"

"One year." Zai Da asked: "Do you eat? I, wash two for you?"

Xiang Feifan laughed, he kept asking Taoshu not because he was greedy for other people's peaches, okay?

"No need." Xiang Feifan waved his hand with a smile: "I'm just a little curious, can a peach tree grow so well in a year?"

Zai Da suddenly trembled, and the skin on his left thumb was almost rubbed off.

Xiang Feifei made up his mind: "She planted it?"

Zai Da opened his mouth, then shook his head quickly: "I planted it myself."

"You placed that vase too? And the stone charms beside the bed, and the mandarin duck embroidery at the foot of the bed?" Xiang Feifan restrained his smile: "Zai Da, don't play dumb, I know that monster was your wife before. Keeping these things, don't you still think about her?"

"I didn't!" Zai Da jumped up: "She is an enemy in the village, she killed so many people, how could I, how could..."

"Don't get excited, even if you miss her, it's alright, a husband and wife will be together for a hundred days, and at that time, you didn't know she was a monster." Xiang Feifan comforted Zai Da and asked, "Does she have a name?"

"Silver Bamboo."

"It sounds good." Xiang Feifei praised.

Probably because he realized that the official in front of him really didn't intend to care about it, Zai Da's expression softened: "Silver is silver, bamboo is bamboo, she said it is a metaphor for rain falling, I am a rough person, and I don't know any metaphors. ( Note 1)"

"Can you tell me how you two met?" Xiang Feifan put on a posture of listening to a story.

"That was more than a year ago." Zai Da's eyes showed a bit of nostalgia: "Last spring, the field was very dry. It didn't rain for three consecutive months, and the nearby ponds were all dry. But I want to grow food. Well, I had no choice but to go to a river more than ten miles away to fetch water."

"On the way to carry water, I saw a girl in white clothes lying on the ground, as if fainted. I hurried over to help her." Zai laughed a little silly: "I have never seen such a beautiful girl, She looks like a fairy, her skin is white and glowing, and there is a faint fragrance on her body, like the smell of grass and trees."

"I carried her home and asked the priest to save her, but the priest told me that she was actually..." Zai Da suddenly stopped at this point.

Xiang Feifan followed his words and said, "She is actually a monster? So you and the priest knew she was a monster so early?"

"Yes, but I agreed to keep her because the priest said that there is a way to turn her into a human being. I don't know what will become of that later." Zai Da scratched his hair in pain, as if because of something. Deeply guilty: "I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't want to hurt anyone, I just like her."

"Zai Da, I can see that you are very kind-hearted and don't want to harm anyone." Xiang Feifan put a hand on Zai Da's shoulder: "But just yesterday, the three of our companions who came with you did not know anything about it. I was captured by a monster. I don’t mean to blame you, but I hope you understand that we came to Ningling Village to save you. I don’t know why the villagers are very repulsive to us and try to hide the truth, but I hope You can help me, and you can help yourself."

"It's useless, there is no salvation here. She has set up an enchantment around Ningling Village, and she can only enter and exit. If you want to be saved, you can only wait until she has killed enough people and calmed down the resentment." Zai Da said in a low tone, It's like I've given up hope.

Ask Fei Fei again, Zai Da is unwilling to continue talking.Xiang Feifan had no choice but to leave: "Then I'll be leaving first. If you have any difficulties, or have anything to say, you can come to my place to find me."

Xiang Feifan and Sang Jingming left Zai Da's house. It was almost evening, but he didn't leave after that. Instead, after going around in a circle, he climbed over the wall and hid in a deserted thatched hut next to him.The location of this house is diagonally across from Master Zai, across a loess road, so you can monitor Master Zai's movements at any time.

"Stay here tonight?" Sang Jingming looked around and asked.

"Well, Brother Sang, who was wronged, stayed with me for the whole night." Xiang Feifan said, "I want to see if the priest will react when we find Zai Da."

"It won't be until now if we want to silence him?" Sang Jingming was puzzled.

"No, now is the best time for the priest to silence him. On the one hand, it can make the information we have found unconvincing, and on the other hand, we can blame Zaida's death on us."

At night, Sang Jingming let Xiang Feifan go to bed first, and stayed at the window by himself. Xiang Feifei knew about Sangge's physique, and it would not have any effect if he slept less for a few days or nights, and he was not polite. He spread his robe flat and curled up on the haystack Catch up on sleep.

It started to rain again at night, and there was a moist coolness in the air, Xiang Feiran shrank unconsciously, muttering unconsciously, as if he was a little chilly.

Sang Jingming took off his robe, which was wider than Xiang Feifan's, just enough to cover Xiang Feifan.The warm and familiar breath made Xiang Feifei feel at ease, and his breathing became slow and long.

Sang Jingming couldn't help stretching out his finger, and slid it slowly along Xiang Feifan's side cheek.

"Tangyuan, don't make trouble." Xiang Feifan stretched out his hand in his sleep, pinched Sang Jingming's fingertips, kissed them between his lips, and let go.

Sang Jingming's whole body froze. When he was making glutinous rice balls, he didn't feel anything at all when he had these intimate interactions with Xiang Feifan. Now... Sang Jingming withdrew his fingers, and he was still recalling the soft and warm touch just now in his mind.

The rain continued until midnight, and finally stopped at dawn.In summer, it dawns early, only around four o'clock, and the sky has changed from thick black to deep blue.At the same time, several black shadows ran towards the wall from a distance.

Sang Jingming woke up Xiang Feifan: "There are people here, four."

"Hmm." Xiang Feifan didn't expect that he was still sound asleep on the haystack, rubbed his eyes and put on the robe on his body, only to find that the size was wrong, and pulled the clothes with some doubts: "Huh?"

Sang Jingming is used to Xiang Feifan who is usually a ghost, and occasionally seeing his rice paste look a little cute, he couldn't help but reach out and rub Xiang Feifan's somewhat disheveled hair: "This one is mine."

"Oh." Only then did Xiang Feifei realize that his robe was used as a bed sheet, and returned Sang Jingming's robe to him with a little embarrassment: "Thank you, Brother Sang."

The two fastened their robes, and the black official robes turned into a good cover in the dim light.

Those four people really aimed at Zaida, they didn't knock on the door, but quietly pushed open the window, probably thinking that everyone in the village knew the truth, Zaida's window was not fastened, and it opened with a push.

Xiang Feifan was about to activate his skills and rush forward, but was stopped by Sang Jingming: "Your skills have a limit on the number of times, save it first."

Xiang Feifan nodded obediently, and then said to Sang Jingming: "You kick the door directly, make more noise, the neighbors are about to wake up at this point, just let them all come and see."

"Okay." Sang Jingming smiled, raised his knife and walked towards the door of Zai's family, while Xiang Feifan stood directly in the middle of the road and shouted at the throat: "Stop! Where did the little thief come from, how dare you stand in front of your official's eyes?" Stealing things from under the roof!"

The silence before dawn was torn apart by this earth-shattering throat.Then there was a loud crash, which was the result of Sang Jingming kicking the door open.

When Sang Jingming entered the room, those people were holding the rope as if they were about to strangle him to death, when they suddenly heard Xiang Feifan's voice and Sang Jingming's kick, they were all stunned.

Sang Jingming strode to the bed with long legs, grabbed the rope from the man in black's hand, tied the four of them into a string with his backhand, and slipped out.

Neighbors who heard the movement also went out, and saw Sang Jingming holding a knife in one hand and pulling four men in black with their faces in the other. They were shocked. Living in a closed and peaceful small village, many people saw it for the first time. living thief.The village suddenly became lively.

"Hehe, looking at the dress, if you hide your head and show your tail, you should be a thief."

"The servants are amazing. How did they know that there were thieves coming to this area. This is the first time I know there are thieves in the village in my life."

"Who is this wicked, Zai Da is so miserable, and stealing things from his house."

Zai Da woke up when several masked men came up with ropes. Although he didn't quite understand why these people wanted to kill him, he hurried forward to thank Sang Jingming: "Thank you, sir, for saving your life, but what are these people doing?" Where did it come from?"

"You'll know if you take a look." Xiang Feifan said as he tore off the cloth scarves from the faces of the four masked men. As expected, they were all guards in the sacrificial yard.

"What's going on here?" The crowd suddenly became chaotic, more surprised than when they knew that a thief had stolen something just now.

"It was Zai Da. It was Zai Da who asked us to come in the middle of the night. He must have colluded with these two officials to deliberately frame us and the priest. He has always held a grudge because of his wife becoming a monster!" Black Clothes The man suddenly bites back.

"Yes!" Another man in black also echoed: "I'm still surprised, yesterday he and our brothers had a new way to catch the banshee, let the brothers dress up a bit more concealed, and come to him with a rope. As a result, as soon as we entered the house with the rope, the official came, and he must have planned it with the official!"

"Ah, now that I think about it, these two officials stayed in the slaughter house for a long time yesterday." An old lady who lived nearby said, "Obviously the priest told us not to contact outsiders as much as possible, but he Put people in."

"You guys are talking nonsense. I didn't collude with officials. They obviously wanted to kill me. I slept soundly. The four of them held down my hands and feet and strangled me with a rope!" Zai Da became anxious.

"You strangled it yourself. As soon as we entered, you grabbed the rope and strangled it around your neck. We couldn't even pull it back. Then the man with the knife came in suddenly and tied the brothers without asking anything. .” said the third man in black.

"The excuses are well-founded. It seems that the priest has made two-handed preparations, and has already expected that we will come to save people." Sang Jingming looked coldly at the noisy man in black and the villagers.

"It's not the priest, but the four of them, Heqin and the others. They teamed up with the priest." Xiang Feifan said, "Seeing that we didn't go back, and combined with the information from the priest, we deduced that we would save people here, so we made up an excuse in advance. Waiting to bite us back, this should be the ploy of the calculating draw. Look, this is just the first step, they want to isolate us, not only between us and the residents, but also between us and other players .”

"Then you?" Sang Jingming was puzzled, since he could see through, why did he follow the other party's script.I want to redeem it.

"Follow the plan." Xiang Feifan said, "Don't forget, there is another person who was pushed out with us."

"Zai Da." Sang Jingming understood.

Xiang Feifan raised the corners of his lips: "Well, now, he can only rely on us."
