Variety Film and Television Journey Home

"1, 3, 2, 1" Ling Jiushi took a stick and drew on the snow while saying: "Don't lean on the railing alone, don't hug a tree with three people, don't look into the well with two people, don't enter the temple alone... these are the taboos!"

Xiong Qi: "What's the use of knowing the taboos? I still can't get out!"

Xiao Ke: "We can lure the door god out and then take the key."

"Where do I get the courage to defeat the door gods?" Before, Niao Niao seldom explored the stories behind the door gods, but now it seems that only thorough purification can complete the mission.

Thinking of this, Niao Niao perked up: "We still need to investigate what exactly happened. Xiong Qi Xiao Ke, you go find the tribe leader, and we'll go visit the villagers."

Others had no objection to this. After investigation, they found that when the wolf disaster occurred, the clan leader's daughter went home to get something and missed the best time to hide in the well.

Between his tribesmen and his daughter, the tribe leader chose to save the lives of his tribesmen. His daughter was bitten to death by a wolf and turned into a monster that survived on human blood.

For this reason, the innkeeper's wife deliberately tempted the guest to violate the taboo conditions.

Ling Jiushi fell into reminiscence after listening to it. Ruan Lanzhu noticed his strangeness and asked with concern: "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." Ling Jiushi crossed his hands and lowered his head in thought: "It's hard to untie the knot in their hearts, so we still have to let them meet."

In the middle of the night, someone shouted "Wolf!" and everyone in the village panicked and hid in the well.

"Why are you here? What are you trying to do?" the innkeeper's wife asked angrily.

"The one we want to kill is that female monster! Xiong Qi Xiao Ke."

Ruan Lanzhu shouted towards the well mouth, and the manhole cover was suddenly opened. Xiong Qi Xiaoke glanced down the well and quickly jumped to the bottom.

The disheveled Xiaojiu chased after the two and crawled in front of everyone.

"Xiao Jiu is alive now, but she might as well be dead. Whether it's saving the whole clan and abandoning Xiao Jiu, or luring people to marry Xiao Jiu who has turned into a monster, you are making decisions for Xiao Jiu, but has anyone asked her what she thinks?"

Ling Jiushi's words made everyone feel ashamed. The rescued tribesmen were afraid of Xiaojiu, but they forgot that Xiaojiu wanted to become like this.

"I'm sorry." I don't know who started it, but everyone in the tribe knelt down and apologized to Xiaojiu.

The clan leader leaned on his crutches and cried, "Xiaojiu, it's Dad's fault for not protecting you."

Xiaojiu shed her monster appearance and turned into a little girl with two ponytails, looking pretty and cute.

"Dad, Mom, Xiaojiu misses you so much."

The scene of the three people hugging each other made people feel inexplicably distressed. Like Ling Jiushi, Xiao Jiu in the space also said with tears in her eyes: "Master Niaoniao, you should learn more from Ling Jiushi."

The NPCs at the bottom of the well disappeared as a ray of light, and the key fell on Xiaojiu.

Niao Niao walked forward, bent down, picked it up, and handed it to Ling Jiushi. She looked at Xiong Qi and Xiao Ke and said, "No objection?"

Xiong Qi and Xiao Ke looked at each other and nodded at Ling Jiushi.

After the door opened, a roll of paper fell. Ruan Lanzhu picked it up and put it in Ling Jiushi's arms, and said, "Keep the clues to the mountain gate."

"See you next time." Ruan Lanzhu said and stepped into the door that was glowing with white light.

After everyone had left, Niao Niao looked back at the charcoal drawing that had turned into a smiling face, and she began to understand why Xiao Jiu asked her to learn more from Ling Jiushi.

She has experienced many worlds. At the beginning, she couldn't bear too much emotion. As time went by, her heart became more and more indifferent...

"Let's meet at the One Hundred Demons Night Parade. I think they will remember me then." The lingering voice dissipated in the air, as if it had never appeared.

"Why is it taking so long this time?"

When Niao Niao came out after washing up, she saw Chen Fei sitting on the sofa with a book in his hand.

He was wearing simple home clothes, his legs crossed, his arms resting on the sofa, his head supported by his hands.

The eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses are dark and deep, and the whole person looks noble and elegant.

Niao Niao poured a glass of water, sat next to him, and laughed and complained: "Why are you posing? There's no one else here."

"Brother Ruan said that there are new people coming." Chen Fei ignored Niao Niao's teasing. Although he was talking, his eyes never left the book in his hand.

"Yes." Niao Niao, wearing loose cartoon pajamas, said lazily: "Did Manman's marriage go smoothly this time?"

"Not bad." Yi Manman looked up and answered while holding the plate of cut fruits.

When they heard the door open, everyone stood up. Behind Ruan Lanzhu, followed Ling Jiushi, who looked a little embarrassed.

"Niao Niao, I have a door to go through. Please take good care of Ling Jiushi." Ruan Lanzhu raised his wrist, looked at the time, and left in a hurry.

"Do you know each other?" Cheng Qianli asked, then patted his head and said to himself, "I forgot. You just met in Snow Village. Ling Jiushi, come and sit down."

After introducing everyone one by one, Niao Niao hugged her pillow and tried to resist sleepiness and said, "Where is the clue to the upper door?"

"At this."

Seeing the words on the paper, everyone's face changed. Ling Jiushi asked in confusion: "Is there any problem?"

"Don't they say newcomers have good luck? Why is this your second door? This door is so weird. So far, except for Niao Niao, no one has been able to come out safely from it." Cheng Qianli frowned, full of worry.

"Qianli, don't scare him." Niao Niao stood up and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, I'm here."

"Did I hear correctly? Niao Niao actually took the initiative to help someone get married?" Cheng Qianli looked at Niao Niao's back as she walked up the stairs, and cried out in despair: "Is this still the Niao Niao I know, who only does things based on her mood and for money?"

"What is your relationship?" Chen Fei was also a little surprised. At that time, he spent a lot of his own money before Niao Niao agreed to marry him.

The expressions of everyone in the room were that they wanted to tear Ling Jiushi to pieces. Ling Jiushi stepped back awkwardly and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've met Xuecun."

"I do not believe!"

"Okay, it's getting late. Go and have a rest first. We can talk about other things after Brother Ruan comes back. You can stay in the first room on the right first." Chen Fei separated the aggressive Cheng Qianli and nodded to signal Ling Jiushi to leave.

At the end of the stairs, Ling Jiushi held the key and said in disbelief: "Cheng Qianli? Aren't you downstairs? So soon..."

"That's my brother. My name is Cheng Yixie."

"What a name. You two are on a roll."

Ling Jiushi thought he was very humorous, but the man opposite him didn't think so. He turned around and left in silence.

"They are twins. What Cheng Yixie hates most is hearing the word 'running down a river'."

"Are you injured?" Ling Jiushi hurriedly stepped forward to support Ruan Lanzhu. After treating the wound, he also thoughtfully prepared a midnight snack for her.

The two sat in the living room, eating and chatting, the atmosphere was very harmonious. At the stairs, Niao Niao took the fruit plate cut by Yi Manman and teamed up with Chen Fei to eavesdrop.

"You can reject me, but you can't reject the door."

"Chen Fei, take it." Seeing Ling Jiushi was about to leave, Niao Niao stuffed the fruit plate into his arms and walked over with a smile.

"Jiushi, you rejected him, but you can't reject me." Niao Niao smiled and pulled Ling Jiushi, leading him to the stairs.

"I don't want to get married." Ling Jiushi wanted to break free, but found that he couldn't, so he had to speak.

Niao Niao advised earnestly: "After a long time, those who die inside the door will also die outside the door. Have you experienced death? They are not one person, but a family. Only by completely purifying this game can no one die."

Ling Jiushi was somewhat moved, but still politely refused: "I am not a savior, I don't have that much power, you have found the wrong person."

"Ruan Lanzhu is right. You can reject us, but you can't reject the door. Let's meet at the next door." Niao Niao let go of Ling Jiushi's arm and watched him leave.
