Ma Yidan and Qiu Tong walked forward.

Without other players, the two were more relaxed.

Ma Yidan: "I still think we should get closer to the villagers. The more things are forbidden to do, the more important clues there must be."

"Besides, what Miao Guiyan said may not be true. What if she is just afraid that we will discover the secret?"

Qiu Tong also thought so: "How about we just find an NPC to ask later?"

The two of them happened to pass by a house, and the person inside was the Aunt Ye they met yesterday.

When Aunt Ye saw them, she smiled so hard that she could hardly stop.

"Come in and sit down! I'll pour you a glass of water!"

Ma Yidan remembered that Aunt Ye called them players as dowry yesterday.

This Aunt Ye should know a lot of things.

Ma Yidan pretended to ask casually: "Aunt Ye, are you alone in your family?"

Aunt Ye nodded and said, "Yes, I'm alone. Come in and chat with me."

"I know what you want to ask about Xiaomiao's family. I know and I can tell you everything!"

Ma Yidan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

It seems that my idea was correct! These villager NPCs are indeed the key to the clues.

Besides, Aunt Ye is alone, and the two of them can easily resist any danger.

The two followed Aunt Ye into the house. Aunt Ye's house was not as big as Miao Guiyan's.

The chickens in the yard were walking around clucking and there were only two or three houses in sight.

After entering the hall, Aunt Ye first poured a glass of water for both of them.

Ma Yidan felt a little embarrassed.

After walking for such a long time under the scorching sun, both of them felt a little thirsty, so they picked up the water and drank it in small sips.

Ma Yidan spoke tentatively first: "Aunt Ye, yesterday you said we were dowry items, what did you mean?"

Aunt Ye paused for two seconds, then laughed again.

"Oops! I said the wrong thing! Auntie, I'm not well educated, please don't mind!"

Ma Yidan was stunned. Is this really the case?

But Luo Xiulian didn't call the players her dowry?

Qiu Tong thought about it and prepared to ask indirectly.

"Aunt Ye, do you know Miao Guiyan's brother? Did something happen to him? We haven't seen him since we entered the village."

Aunt Ye clapped her hands: "You are talking about Miao Jianguo? What could happen? He is a good boy! And the wife he married is also virtuous."

Both of them frowned after hearing this.

They didn't come in to hear this nonsense.

Ma Yidan was a little anxious: "Aunt Ye, do you know if there are any special things in the village? For example, at night?"

Aunt Ye’s smile froze.

He just maintained this weird expression, without moving at all.

Qiu Tong pulled Ma Yidan's hand and felt something was wrong.

The next second, Aunt Ye burst into laughter.

The corners of his mouth were raised high, his face full of unstoppable excitement.

"Thirty seconds left!"

Ma Yidan and Qiu Tong: ???

What thirty seconds?

Before they could react, they felt dizzy.

The scenes before my eyes began to blur and distort.

Ma Yidan stumbled and pulled Qiu Tong to his feet, wanting to run out.

Before they could take two steps, they fell to the ground.

Before closing his eyes, Ma Yidan looked at the teacup on the coffee table.

Aunt Ye...did she drug them?

------

On the other side, Wang Zhongwang and Bian Feifei walked a long way and found that the mountain was surrounded by steep cliffs on all sides.

There was absolutely no other way for them to get down the mountain.

After Yi Nanzhi and his three friends, along with Jin Shi, toured the entire village, they all felt something was wrong.

So enthusiastic.

The villagers in the whole village were so welcoming and everyone opened their doors to welcome them in.

And there was another problem. Along the way, there were very few young men in the village.

Jin Shi's face looked increasingly listless in the sun.

He said dejectedly: "What do you think of these villagers?"

Shen Yu looked at the village in front of him and thought for a while.

"Miao Guiyan told us not to get close to the villagers. I don't think she was trying to scare us."

Yi Nanzhi nodded.

"These villagers seem to strongly hope that we can go to their homes. Do you remember the village rule that Miao Guiyan mentioned yesterday?"

If anything ends up in someone else's home by accident, then it belongs to that family.

Yi Nanzhi: "I think that as dowries, are we players also included in these things?"

"As long as we take the initiative to enter the homes of these villagers, our dowries will belong to them."

After hearing this, looking at these villagers, it felt even weirder.

Lin Xingyu was a little curious: "But what use are we to the villagers?"

Yi Nanzhi said slowly: "Maybe it's to feed the zombies."

"I guess Miao Guiyan's childhood sweetheart fiancé is also a zombie, and the dowry is for him to eat."

Lin Xingyu: “…How scary!”

So far, everyone thinks this idea is correct.

Jin Shi: "Look at the bright side, at least we are precious and sought-after in their eyes."

"Oh no, probably food."

Everyone: "..."

The sky has become much darker and the sun has moved to the west.

After discussing it, we decided to go back first.

I met Wang Zhongwang and Bian Feifei on the way.

When we heard that there was no other way down the mountain, everyone's faces started to look bad.

The thought of having to walk that horrible suspension bridge back home...

All players collapsed!

When I arrived at Miao Guiyan's house, I didn't see Ma Yidan and Qiu Tong.

Miao Guiyan was waiting in the yard. When she saw everyone coming back, she immediately smiled.

Then he looked around carefully again and saw that two people were missing, and his expression immediately became nervous.

"There are two more people?! Aren't they with you?"

Miao Guiyan is referring to Ma Yidan and Qiu Tong.

The players present didn't know where they went.

Miao Guiyan went out with a serious face and came back soon.

Ignoring this group of players, I went straight into the lobby to talk to Aunt Mei.

Soon, suppressed curses were heard from inside the room.

The player tiptoed closer and lay down against the wall to eavesdrop.

Aunt Mei's tone sounded very angry, as if she was about to lose control.

"It's been two years! I told you long ago to give two to your brother! But you refused! Now you've given them to others for nothing!"

Miao Guiyan's tone became even more aggrieved.

"But! This is the dowry I prepared! And I reminded you several times, who would have thought it would be like this!"

Aunt Mei: "Shut up! They are still outside, stop talking nonsense!"

The player quickly moves away from the house and pretends to be outside looking at the scenery.

Aunt Mei came out quickly, with no abnormality on her face.

"Hey, I have prepared the food, come in and eat."

Everyone walked into the hall in silence, not having time to digest what they had just overheard.

It seems that Ma Yidan and Qiu Tong may not come back.

The round table was filled with sumptuous dishes again.

Today everyone was attentive and followed Miao Guiyan's family in picking up food.

Never touch the dishes that have problems.

However, this also aroused the vigilance of Miao Guiyan and others.

Aunt Mei looked anxious and kept picking up problematic dishes for everyone.

"Eat quickly! Eat more!"

Everyone: "..."

Who dares to eat it? After eating, I sleep like a pig.

Facing the gazes of Miao Guiyan's family, Yi Nanzhi took action.

She picked up a pair of clean chopsticks, quickly picked up a few problematic dishes, and placed them in the bowls of Miao Guiyan's family.

Then, with an innocent look on his face, he said, "Aunt Mei, you all can eat together! You're welcome!"

"It's so embarrassing that you only serve us some food. You guys should eat more too."

As he said this, he stared at them with expectant eyes.

Miao Guiyan's family: "......"
