The Days I Clear Escape Games Pretending to be an NPC

After burning the paper and bowing according to the rules, Ren Yifei withdrew from the mourning hall.From the beginning to the end, Changsun and others didn't pay any attention to this 'npc'.

A very ordinary dead junior, with a sense of simplicity unique to people of this era, just like other night watchmen, nothing special.

The initial exploration of the mourning hall has been completed, and these 'outsiders' have been inspected nearby, and the task has been overfulfilled.

The game on the poker table had already changed, Ah Liang was sitting on a long bench eating melon seeds, when he saw Ren Yifei coming out, he called him: "This is Ah Fei."

Ren Yifei already knew that Ah Liang and some older people were very friendly to him.In many games, when the npc has a high favorability, it will generate clues.I don't know if it's the same here.

He walked over and sat down on the other side of the bench.

"Did you burn paper for mother-in-law?" A Liang handed him the melon seed plate.

Ren Yifei took a handful of pumpkin seeds, put them in his hand and gnawed slowly: "It's burning, why don't you go?"

"Forget it, I'm a left-handed person, and I'll be angry with my mother-in-law when I turn around."

Ren Yifei peeled off the melon seeds and sighed inadvertently, "Why so suddenly?"

Ah Liang paused, hesitated to speak, and finally just shook his head: "You must be getting old."

The two chatted one after another at the card table, and the summer night wind blew slowly, blowing away the dizzying smell of oil and wax from the mourning hall.

If this is not the mourning hall, this is a good place to enjoy the shade. The moon in the sky is big and bright, and the courtyard is brightly illuminated.

They heard the hooting of an owl, A Liang spat out the melon seed shell, looked around and couldn't find any obvious trace of the owl: "The old owl hooted again."

During this period, the poker table changed again. Ah Liang took a closer look and said strangely, "Why didn't you see Ah Song go off the court today? Isn't this kid usually clinging to the poker table?"

Ren Yifei's heart skipped a beat: "A Song? Where is it?"

"Didn't you see? Next to Ajie."

There are two people next to Ajie, but Ren Yifei can still tell which one is 'A Song' at a glance.

Everyone else was watching the cards, and they were more focused than the players. Only a short young man stared at the mourning hall with a complicated expression.

Ren Yifei followed A Liang's words to test: "Did he not bring any money today?"

"He used to live without money."

A Liang's words were somewhat contemptuous, and he also taught Ren Yifei: "You can't learn from him. After taking a gamble, you even lost your previous job, and you have to be chased around all day long. Auntie is your only son."

"Oh, listen to you, Ah Liang, Brother Liang, I definitely won't learn from him."

Hearing these words, Ah Liang felt relieved, and he grabbed another handful of melon seeds and gave them to Ren Yifei: "Eat melon seeds."

This Ren Yifei is like a fish in water, playing the away game like a home game, and the few players over there live like years.

The npcs are very unfriendly to the players who play the game. Ignoring and ignoring them is already a good treatment. It is scary to change their faces from time to time.

The girl with thick braids, 'Xiaomei', was frightened and cried twice, and the 'second grandson' had already shrunk into a corner, and her mental state was worrying.

The "eldest grandson's daughter-in-law" was stared at by middle-aged women, and even the calm eldest grandson was reprimanded once.

But none of them rebelled against npc, nor did the old players.

Ren Yifei, who was watching others cross the river by mistake, knew that provoking NPCs was definitely wrong.The consequences are unclear, but there must be a price to be paid.

He doesn't provoke, and he doesn't stand out. He waits first and finds out the bottom line.

As time passed, the elderly people in the mourning hall began to leave, and slowly, only the young night watchmen, the family members of the deceased, monks, and a few helpers remained.

Ren Yifei patted his belly after finishing the bean cake: "Still hungry."

NPC Ajie gave him a white look: "Why didn't you faint from hunger?"

"There will be food in a while, I see smoke coming from the kitchen." The older night watchman smiled and played a card.

After a while, there was something to eat.

Because staying up late hurts the body and is easy to be hungry, the host made porridge with whole grains.The aunt who was in charge of the kitchen came over with a large porcelain basin: "You all eat something, it won't work if you don't have any energy later."

This pot of multigrain porridge is different from that of later generations. There is a layer of water on the top, and there are some bean-like things underneath, which is very thin.

"You have the money to hire a monk, but you give us this kind of porridge? No wonder Grandma Chunzhi wants to..." A night watchman couldn't hold his breath and complained.

A Liang knocked on the table: "Stop talking when eating porridge, for fear of choking."

Huh?It was only when Ren Yifei realized something was wrong, he turned his head to take a closer look.

It's not just paying a lot of money to hire monks, there are also things wrong with coffins.

Farmers in this era seem to be in average condition, buying more thin-skinned coffins, and they don't know how to paint.But the coffin in front of him was covered in black paint all over, and the coffin was also thick, at least it was the ration of their family for one or two months.

Looking at the ever-burning lamps on all four sides, it is already a luxury to light up the ever-burning lamps, but they are all made of high-quality sesame oil.The golden yellow and transparent vegetable oil exudes a luxurious light, which should not appear in this kind of family light.

Such a funeral is beautiful, but it hurts the family. Even if it is to honor the elderly, this is too much...

Ah Liang on the other end was still educating that reckless young man: All who came here were for love, and they didn't want to be porridge for others.

Only then did this come back, he held the bowl and walked away with some embarrassment.

Others also had subtle expressions and avoided the topic, as if implying that there was a story behind this wake-up drama.

"Ah Liang, give me a spoon." Ren Yifei watched the excitement in the crowd with his hands in his hands, and his arm was bumped.

The person who bumped into him stood with his support on the table: "Xiao Fei, go and bring Shitou and Xiao Wan over. They have also been hungry for a whole day. The child is still young and cannot bear this crime."

"Ah?" Ren Yifei was stunned for a moment, unable to remember who this person was.

Ah Liang was spooning the porridge, and put down the spoon when he saw this: "Ah Song, why don't you call Ah Fei?"

Ren Yifei was so moved by this child-protecting look, he immediately slipped over and stood behind Ah Liang, watching the porridge distribution scene with round eyes.

Ajie, who had harassed him before, also said: "A Fei has been hungry for a long time."

A few young people in the crowd saw it, and they were stunned: Are these people blind?Apart from being good-looking and sweet-mouthed, what else is good about this kid?Lazy and greedy.

"A Song's foot is injured, it's inconvenient for him."

"Yes, one high and one low."

A few night watchmen who had played well with Ah Song in the past rescued Ah Song.

Ah Liang looked down, it seemed that this was the case, he stopped there, awkwardly thinking about how to end it.

Seeing this, Ren Yifei scratched his chin and put down the bowl: "That's it, Ah Liang, help me spoon more, I'll call Shitou and Xiaowan."

As he spoke, he squeezed sideways out of the group of night watchmen.

Ah Liang didn't stop him, watched him go into the mourning hall, shook his head and said: "Don't bully Ah Fei all the time, he is just spoiled by his aunt, he has no heart."

Bully?

The night watchmen have lost their temper, okay, it hurts to be a brother, it's incomparable.

Only Ah Song subconsciously nodded, agreeing with these words.

"Xiao Fei?"

Ren Yifei was thinking about this strange name while walking into the mourning hall.Everyone calls 'A Fei', why does this person call him 'Xiao Fei'?

According to Ah Liang, he didn't know Ah Song that well, so why did he call him that?Such familiarity and intimacy are like friends.

Ren Yifei has many questions:

If Asong is the player, why does he know the names of the two children are 'Stone' and 'Xiaowan'?

If A Song is not a player, then why does he show completely different characteristics?Not even a gambler.

This person is even more special than the previous eldest grandson, and more worthy of attention.

A lot of people had left, and the mourning hall was brighter. The family of the deceased was still kneeling in front of the coffin: the son and daughter-in-law of the deceased in sackcloth and mourning; the eldest grandson who kept silent; great grandson.

These two children were both young, and after kneeling for a whole day, they were all in a daze.

The eldest grandson burned the paper with no expression on his face, and his hands were smelled of jute paper. Suddenly, he saw a young NPC walking slowly, walking all the way to the coffin, and said to his cheap parents: "Uncle, uncle!" Mom, can you two go get something to drink?"

It's okay not to be reminded, but once reminded, the eldest grandson player couldn't help touching his stomach: he was also hungry.

"It's Ah Fei." The middle-aged woman recognized the appearance of this NPC, then lowered her head again, "We are not hungry."

"Auntie, if you are exhausted because of this, she won't feel at ease when she wants to come to mother-in-law." The young npc named A Fei cared.

"Cough." The eldest grandson coughed and looked up at him: Come, look at me, I'm hungry.

When the deceased was mentioned, the middle-aged man froze for a few seconds.The muscles on the face of the middle-aged woman trembled, forming a frightened expression.

She turned to cover her face and emphasized again: "We are not hungry."

"Do you want to eat some stones? You should have no strength when you turn around." The young npc whispered again, looking at the two children, showing a little unbearable, "They are still young."

The old woman thought for a while, she felt sorry for the child, she nodded: "Come back after eating."

"Gulu." The eldest grandson's stomach made a sound, he looked up at the young npc, hesitant to say: why didn't this npc call him?As long as he shouted, wouldn't he be able to agree?

Even the daughter-in-law of the eldest grandson who was sitting on the side rubbing her stomach also looked at him: the bean porridge is not good, and if you call me, I will reluctantly drink it.

However, this npc has no eyesight, and their winking eyes are almost thrown to the blind.He didn't ask anything, and left with the two children.

So these big living people, are they invisible or what?

Is the treatment of players too low?

As soon as the people left, the middle-aged woman lost her good face immediately, and showed a sarcastic face to the remaining people: "Continue to kneel and make your grandma happy."

Hungry players:  …

Ren Yifei took the two children out of the mourning hall.

A bowl has been set on the table, and porridge has been poured into the bowl.

Just as Ren Yifei led the two children to sit down, three bowls of porridge were pushed over. There was not much soup in it, and the beans were spiky.He looked up, it was Asong.

Ah Song smiled at Ren Yifei, and asked the two children to eat porridge.

Ren Yifei looked at other people's bowls, they were full of water, crystal clear.The night watchman returned a resentful look: Don't look, it's all in your bowl.

"Cough." He rubbed his nose, sat down cheekily and began to eat.

The multi-grain porridge without any seasoning tasted really mediocre, Ren Yifei drank it slowly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the middle-aged woman hurrying over there, letting the two children pass by.

She looked a little flustered, and looked towards the mourning hall frequently, urging the two children: "Burn some money for grandma, grandma likes you the most."

Ren Yifei poked the beans: I've only eaten a few bites, are you in a hurry?

Asong, who was beside him, waited for the two children to leave, and poured their porridge together to eat naturally.

Ren Yifei put down his chopsticks, as if something was about to come to his mind.

"A Fei, do you want to eat? If you don't, I'll help you eat the rest."

Ajie, who had already finished his portion, patted him on the shoulder.

With this shot, Ren Yifei's previous weird thoughts were shot away to nowhere. "Good idea." He picked up the bowl and drank the rest.

With something in their stomachs, the young guys have the spirit to play cards again.There are few times throughout the year when they can play cards above board.

Except for the coffin next to it, the wake was not as scary as imagined.

Probably because the one who died was an elder, and he was a very kind elder in the past, and he remembered his gentle and loving appearance in life, so he was not afraid.

What lies in the coffin is just the useless body left behind.What's so scary about the body?What's more, there are so many people at the scene.

The sound of playing cards continued until the night fell, Ren Yifei stood up and said that he was going to the latrine.

The players who were playing cards didn't turn their heads: "Go, go, don't fall into the pit."

"Fuck you, I can't fall in anyone who falls into the pit."

In rural houses in this era, the huts are all in the backyard, so he went to the backyard.

Sure enough, the hut was in the backyard, opposite to the firewood room. As soon as he entered the backyard, he could smell the hut.

The yard is not small, with banana trees and pomegranates planted in the corner, a pig and a few chickens, and a deserted dry well, just like the backyard of an ordinary farmhouse.

He got into the hut, but didn't go to the toilet.

Ren Yifei rubbed his face with both hands, as if peeling off a piece of human skin, his face no longer had the detachment and innocence of 'A Fei', he was a calm and calm man.

It's not Ah Fei, he's Ren Yifei.
