Penitent hand, trembling slightly

Zhang Jianshe's house is also a two-story building, the first floor and the second floor are not connected internally, and the second floor can only be accessed from the outside.

He directly took the four players upstairs, and allocated three rooms to them: "I have three rooms left in my house, and you have two women who have to live together."

Shen Maomao couldn't ask for it.She immediately grabbed Lou Jingmo's arm, leaned close to her and made an intimate gesture: "We are good girlfriends, let's sleep together!"

The other two didn't know each other, they didn't trust each other, and they were happy to live in a room alone.

Zhang Jianshe took the four of them to their rooms, told them not to be polite, and then went downstairs.

Shen Maomao lived in the room on the left side of the stairs, next door was a woman, and opposite the woman was a man.

She closed the wooden door of the room, turned her back to the door and looked at Lou Jingmo: "Sister Lou, this door can't be locked!"

Not being able to lock is too exciting.

Lou Jingmo was observing the layout of the house, and upon hearing what she said, he immediately walked over to study the wooden door.

The door opens inward without a lock, and the door frames on both sides protrude outward, and there are two hook-like things in the middle.

"It can be locked." Lou Jingmo said, "When you come back at night, find a wooden stick to hold it against. If someone comes in, you can at least hear it."

Shen Maomao nodded and asked her, "Shall we go out and meet Yun Shengjin later?"

Lou Jingmo: "Go, see what he wants to do."

……

The sun was slanting to the west, and the burning clouds dyed half of the sky red, like some kind of ominous omen.

The other two left first. Shen Maomao and Lou Jingmo put down their SLR and backpacks, and walked along the village path to Liu Zhuangshi's house.It was evening, and there were not a few children bouncing and playing on the road.Seeing strangers, they curiously followed behind the two of them, and did not come up to talk.

At first, Shen Maomao didn't take it seriously, but after walking for a while, she couldn't help but look back, and found that the children were still following them, standing in two rows on the left and right.The moment she turned her head, the row on the left also turned their heads in unison.

"Crap." Shen Maomao cursed in a low voice, then quickly turned back, "Sister Lou, are they imitating our actions?"

Lou Jingmo said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about it."

So Shen Maomao didn't look back, and walked forward without squinting.

When they got to the door of Liu Zhuangshi's house, the children dispersed with strange smiles. The two pushed the door open and saw a group of people sitting in the yard.

Everyone was there except the two of them, and everyone sat on the bench, consciously sitting in two rows, six in front and six in back, and the two seats behind were vacant.

Yun Shengjin, who was sitting in front of the crowd, greeted Lou Jingmo pretendingly: "You guys are here too. I thought you and your teammates didn't need me to explain the rules of the game, so I started the lecture in advance."

Shen Maomao suddenly realized: Now that she is his face, Yun Shengjin doesn't know her anymore.

"I don't need it." Lou Jingmo smiled, and led her to sit behind her.

Next to them was Shao Mei with a reluctant expression. Seeing them, she snorted coldly and turned her head to refuse to communicate with them.

Shen Maomao taunted her: "Didn't you say you shouldn't be licking a dog? Why are you here?"

Shao Mei glared at her bitterly, then turned her back, complaining in her heart to Ye Tingnan who forced her to follow her.

Liu Zhuangshi's wife is the only one at home.Knowing that they were going to talk, Mrs. Liu went upstairs to rest very consciously, the door was closed tightly, and she didn't eavesdrop.

Shen Maomao guessed: This should be the talking time for the players in the game.When the players got together in the last world, the foreman also left voluntarily.

Yun Shengjin didn't hesitate at all in the face of so many eyes, like a leader holding a meeting for employees, and continued to talk about the previous topic: "I think everyone has seen it. Every household in the village seems to have this statue."

As he said, he pointed to the red cloth in Liu Zhuangshi's courtyard: "I asked the npc of this house, and she said that this is the monkey god in the village, who will bless believers with wealth and safety. The village chief also said that the sacrifice must It's started, it should be referring to the sacrifice of the monkey god. I think our main task is related to this sacrifice. This time the game players have relatively free time, and it happens that everyone is here. I will arrange the next task assignment. If you have any objections You can leave now."

The two old players who lived with Shen Maomao and the others stood up without giving him face, and left directly.

And the one who lived with Yun Shengjin didn't move for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lou Jingmo also stood up: "Let's go, this trip is for nothing."

She thought Yun Shengjin could improve, but when she came to see him, he was still the same.

Shen Maomao followed her thigh tightly, and the two walked out of Liu Zhuangshi's house.

The cool wind in the mountains brushed their faces, and the crickets in the grass beside the road were chirping loudly, making people upset and lost their thoughts.It was getting dark very quickly in spring, and two red lanterns were lit up in front of Liu's house, reflecting their blood all over.

Just like every household enshrines the "Monkey God", there are also two red lanterns hanging at the door of every household here.Not far in front of them were two old players who had taken a step ahead of them. The two walked together, their bodies and feet were red, as if they were walking in a sea of ​​blood.

There is a sea of ​​blood ahead, and the shore of the sea of ​​bitterness is not necessarily behind.

Yun Shengjin was uneasy and kind, and used the newcomers as a shield, using them to test the rules of the game, and then find a chance to remind the newcomers...

The group of children playing on the street went back to their respective homes, which made Shen Maomao feel much more at ease.

She kicked a stone under her feet, and followed the rolling path of the stone like a child.Lou Jingmo in the back broke off a small branch from the bush, and when he looked up, he saw her happy back, and suddenly felt that he was looking at a living sand sculpture.

With the last kick, the small stone flew into the bushes in a parabola, and a black shadow half a person's height flashed past, and the leaves rustled as it passed.

"Fuck!" Shen Maomao took two steps back, almost stepping on Lou Jingmo's foot, "What!"

The black shadow quickly shuttled through the bushes, ran towards the uninhabited field, and quickly merged into the night and disappeared.

Lou Jingmo supported her, squinted his eyes and looked at the direction where the shadow was going away, hesitantly said: "It seems to be a child."

Shen Maomao thought of the children who followed them and learned their movements again, and couldn't help feeling a little creepy, and his voice was a little trembling: "Who... whose child doesn't come back after dark, cats in the grass..."

Lou Jingmo: "Bear boy."

Shen Maomao: "..." It makes sense.

The two people who were walking in front turned their heads and ran towards them quickly. After the four of them joined, the woman asked heavily, "Are you all right?"

It seems that they heard the commotion behind them and chose to come back to save people.

Shen Maomao was also willing to share information with such a person, so he said, "It's okay, something suddenly jumped out of the grass, it looked like a child, and it didn't attack us."

"It's fine." The woman nodded, and the four walked back together.

On the way, the woman introduced herself and said, "My name is Wei Yu, and his name is Wang Xiaoming. We are both old players, we don't know each other, and we formed a temporary team."

What the hell, Wang Xiaoming, it's a lie at first glance.

Wei Yu looks more than 30 years old, with a serious face and basically no expression when he speaks; Wang Xiaoming is relatively younger, and should be about the same age as Lou Jingmo. Eyes, it seems that this is a master with very rich mental activities.

People have already thrown bricks, and Shen Maomao consciously began to introduce himself.

She had already told Shao Mei and the others that her name was "Rabbit", and it didn't matter if Yun Shengjin could recognize her, so she continued to use "Rabbit" as her screen name, and introduced the aloof Lou Jingmo by the way.

The woman said: "It's not safe for you two little girls to act alone, do you want to form a team with us?"

If it wasn't for Shen Maomao's decision, she blinked at Lou Jingmo and asked her opinion.

Lou Jingmo said: "I don't have the habit of cooperating with others."

Shen Maomao felt something was wrong.

"Wait a minute?" She yelled to stop, pointing at herself, "Am I not human???"

Lou Jingmo glanced at her lightly: "Aren't you a rabbit?"

Shen Maomao: "??"

The corner of Wei Yu's mouth raised a slight arc, and then recovered quickly, but Wang Xiaoming couldn't help laughing out loud.

The two were not dissatisfied with Lou Jingmo's refusal to join, and Wei Yu also said: "If you need help, you can come to me."

It is rare to meet such a player in the game, and Shen Maomao didn't want to guess others maliciously, so he responded with a smile: "Okay, you can come to me if you have any difficulties, but this is my second game. Still a rookie."

The two agreed separately and did not involve their teammates.

Lou Jingmo is very satisfied with Shen Maomao's understanding, after all, she is very tired with a dragging person, if this dragging bottle is going to hang a few more dragging bottles on her body, then she may have to consider throwing the bottle.

……

Zhang Jianshe's house was brightly lit, and his family of eight sat in the yard to eat.

They learned from him in the morning that he has a father, four sons, and a daughter.The daughter married far away from the village, and the four sons also started their own families. The eldest family of five lived with him.

Seeing the four players came back, he stopped his chopsticks, stood up and greeted them for dinner, and said to his family: "These four are the guests who came to the village to take pictures. I told you before."

The adults greeted them, and the elders, one man, two women and three children, looked at them curiously.

Shen Maomao looks like a bear to everyone, so try to avoid staring at them.

There are plates of home-cooked dishes on the table, and there are still a lot left. It seems that Zhang's family should have just started eating.

The identities set in the game must have been given money, and the four players were not polite, they sat down to eat, and answered some innocuous questions raised by the Zhang family from time to time.

After drinking and eating, Shen Maomao habitually went to pick up bowls, but was stopped by Zhang Jianshe's wife.

"Why do the guests wash the dishes!" Aunt Zhang said loudly, and took the bowl back from Shen Maomao's hand with a smile, "You go upstairs! I'll boil a pot of hot water and bring it up later, so that you can soak your feet to relieve fatigue."

"Then trouble you, auntie."

The four went upstairs and went back to their rooms separately.

Not long after, Mrs. Zhang brought some hot water up, and they drank the water, brushed their teeth and washed their faces in the bucket upstairs, and washed their feet in the basin one by one.

It will be nearly seven or eight o'clock when it is packed.People in the countryside went to bed early, and the lights in the whole village were turned off. Looking out of the window, one could only see endless darkness surrounding everyone.

The author has something to say: lest you confuse people's names: Shao Mei - the eldest lady; Ye Tingnan - the captain; Wu Menghan - a particularly sensitive girl; Shan Shanxiao - a timid boy, Wang Sheng - The last one left.
