Card Room - 88. 108.Chapter 108
【Chapter 108, Liuxi Village-14】
The old lady Qin and grandmother left the temple soon.
The two untied the rope tied to the dog and opened the fence surrounding the cock. A large group of chickens and dogs also followed them out of the ruined temple, surrounded by “cuckoo” and “barking” sounds, even more than the vegetable market. lively.
Those dogs would recognize their masters. After being let go, they all ran to find their masters, rubbing their heads against their masters’ thighs. The villagers in Liuxi Village excitedly touched their dogs’ heads, as if they had found a loved one who had been separated for many years. For them blind people, dogs are the best companions, not only can help them watch the house, but also accompany them to recognize the way and act as a “guide dog”.
While touching her pet dog, the young woman asked: “Aunt Qin, grandma, are you all right?”
People next to you also asked about the situation in the temple: “Did the outsiders embarrass you?” “What did they do with our dogs? Why did they keep all the dogs here?” “I thought they were going to put the roosters.” Kill the stew and slaughter the dogs and eat barbecue. Why are these dogs all right?”
Everyone obviously didn’t understand the challengers’ thinking, and subconsciously thought that they were stealing chickens and dogs for food.
Old Mrs. Qin said coldly: “They stole the roosters just to prevent us from hearing the roosters in the morning, and we couldn’t get up on time; they tied all the dogs on the west hill to prevent them from being discovered when they entered the village to steal things. What I really want is the gems in our village. Those stones are invaluable and can be sold for a lot of money!”
The grandmother agreed: “Yes, no one is here, they may have left with the gems.”
A young man suddenly said: “Worry! Our gems are hidden under the bed. I woke up this morning and didn’t check it. Could it be stolen?! Will there be anything wrong with my daughter-in-law?”
The grandmother turned her head and said, “Go and see, your daughter-in-law is about to give birth in a few days. Don’t move your fetus.”
The man immediately led the dog, looked out of the field and turned down the mountain.
The man’s name is Lin Er, who was the “second brother” who talked to Niuniu’s mother in the village on the first day of entering the village. His wife is the village chief’s cousin Liu Hui, who will give birth in a few days. These information villages The long has revealed it to Xiao Lou and them.
Liu Hui is the only one who is about to give birth in the village, so she can tell.
As Lin Er went down the mountain, the others followed Aunt Qin and the others slowly down the mountain.
A group of blind people led the dog, and a big rooster followed, the scene was extremely spectacular.
The challengers hiding on the roof of the ruined temple were finally relieved.
The young man lying next to Yu Hanjiang said, “Several guys, do you really have gems?”
Yu Hanjiang held a dark green opal tightly, opened his palm to give him a glance, and quickly retracted it.
The other party was relieved: “Then don’t worry about being robbed by you. Since everyone has it, why not talk about cooperation?”
Yu Hanjiang glanced across the four people and asked, “Do you know each other?”
The man nodded: “Well, we know each other in reality.”
Xiao Lou smiled and reminded: “Lie on the roof to chat. It’s not convenient. How about going down first?”
Everyone took a closer look-seven people were lying side by side, all in weird postures. When chatting, they had to turn their necks 90 degrees to look at each other, which was really uncomfortable. The man seemed to have a jumping card. Hearing this, he immediately took his companion and jumped directly off the roof. Liu Qiao flew down with the help of the tree. Yu Hanjiang grabbed the tree trunk with one hand, kicked his long leg, and landed on the ground.
Xiao Lou looked at the ground with a little embarrassment. He was pulled up from the tree by Team Yu just now. The roof is more than three meters high. If you jump directly down, you will definitely get your feet. While hesitating, I saw Yu Hanjiang raised his head and stretched out his hand towards Xiaolou: “You jump, I will follow you.”
Xiao Lou didn’t entangle anymore, and jumped straight down.
Yu Hanjiang stretched out his hands to catch him steadily. However, Xiao Lou’s jump caused his entire body to plunge directly into Team Yu’s arms due to gravity, and was wrapped in the familiar breath of the man. This made Xiao Lou’s heartbeat somehow stalled, and he quickly stepped back and stood firm. , Pretending to say easily: “Thank you.”
Yu Hanjiang gently nodded towards Xiao Lou before looking at the four strangers.
There are three men and one woman. Among them, the man who has spoken to Yu Hanjiang is about 25 years old and looks very good. Another middle-aged man in his 40s, his chin is full of scum. Obviously he hasn’t cleaned it for a long time. He hasn’t spoken, and he looks calmer. The combination of a man and a woman should be a couple or a partner, dressed young and fashionable.
The curly-haired woman smiled and said: “The four of us are actually from the same design company. An accident happened during a group outing during the Chinese New Year, and we happened to meet at 4 of Spades.”
The young man introduced: “This is our design director Lao Qi. This Xiao Wu and Xiao Li are newly married couples. My last name is Zhou.”
Xiao Lou also smiled and introduced: “This old Han, my name is Yunxiao, this surnamed Joe is a college student, and we have a teammate outside the village.”
He used the pseudonym used in the 3 of Spades Secret Chamber again, so as not to cause trouble if his real name is known.
After introducing each other, Xiao Lou asked: “How many clues do you have so far?”
The curly-haired woman surnamed Li said: “Our gems were found at Lin Er’s house in the east of the village. His wife has a big belly and is about to give birth. We searched his house while he was walking with his wife. A gem was found under the bed.”
The young man said: “Our gem was found by Mrs. Qin’s house, and happened to ran into you at that time. You couldn’t find Mrs. Qin’s house. Where did this one come from?”
Xiao Loudao: “On the farmland to the east, two were found, one dark green and one almost transparent white.”
The woman explained: “This is an opal. We suspect that it is a string of bracelets, and the color of each gem is different. What we found is blue and brown. You have dark green and transparent colors. There should be red, The gold and white did not appear.”
The golden one is in Liu Qiao’s hands, but Xiao Lou does not intend to expose the truth of Liu Qiao’s solo action.
As for the red one, the one found in the pond was snatched by the masked man. The white one should have been taken out of the village by the chameleon man and the zombie jumping woman.
Mr. Zhou picked up a branch, squatted down and drew a picture on the ground: “The first one should be in the ruined temple. Three of them appeared at the old lady Qin’s house, the village head’s house, and Lin Er’s house who was about to give birth, and two appeared outside the village. Farmland… don’t you think the shape is a bit strange when these six are connected? Where will the last one be?”
Xiao Lou picked up the branch and clicked at the intersection of the three lines: “In the pond. The distribution of seven gems is a herringbone.”
This is what they have long speculated. The four of them are obviously still not clear. They suddenly realized after seeing the graphics: “The head is on the west hill, the feet are on the farmland, and the herringbone lying in the village?”
Xiao Lou nodded: “Yes. What clues did you find?”
The curly-haired woman said, “Lin Er’s wife is Huihui. She is in poor health and has been taking anti-fetal medicine after three days of due date. Knowing Chinese herbal medicine, we speculate that this herbal medicine should cause fetal binocular deformities.”
Although the methods of these four people are different from those of Xiao Lou and the others, they probably also speculated about the problems of grandma grandma and old lady Qin. Moreover, they stole all the roosters and dogs, and tied them in the ruined temple to attract the villagers. The conversation between the old lady Qin and the grandmother in front of the human bone pit revealed a lot of key information. Indispensable.
Xiao Lou felt his chin thoughtfully: “From the conversation between Qin and Sun just now, grandmother grandmother may have planned to slaughter the village on the day of the Autumn Harvest Festival.”
The curly-haired woman widened her eyes: “Tu Village?”
Yu Hanjiang understood what Xiao Lou meant, and said: “Just now, grandma said that she was tired for so many years, and she would give everyone a sentence on the day of her daughter’s death. Don’t you still wonder what her so-called’discontinuation’ is? mean?”
The curly-haired woman was stunned for a while. Lao Qi, who hadn’t spoken from the beginning to the end, suddenly said: “Grandma’s hatred for this village has not diminished, and she will never forget her daughter. She will definitely slaughter the village again and let the whole village be buried with her daughter.”
The trio’s complexion changed, and the curly-haired woman couldn’t believe it, “Old Qi, you’re serious? There are hundreds of families in this village with a population of nearly 300. Even if these people can’t see them, grandma and an old lady want to kill them all. All the villagers are also very difficult, right?”
Old Qi said: “Don’t forget her identity. She is a village doctor, and all the villagers drink medicines that she cooks. She can completely kill all the villagers by’poisoning’.”
Women want to understand this, and their face is even more ugly.
Xiao Wu asked: “Let the whole village die together, will Grandma’s grandmother poison in the spring water?”
Xiao Lou shook his head: “Poisoning under the spring water does not guarantee that all villagers will be poisoned at the same time on the anniversary of death. Many people will pick up two buckets of water in advance and store them. Two buckets of water can be drunk for a long time. I think it is more likely. It was she who joined hands with the old lady Qin and poisoned the rice wine to be drunk on the day of the Autumn Harvest Festival.”
Yu Hanjiang agreed: “On the day of the Autumn Harvest Festival, everyone drinks to worship their ancestors. This is the tradition of Liuxi Village. As long as they drink poisoned alcohol, everyone will be immediately poisoned to death and be buried with her daughter.”
Everyone fell silent at the same time.
In fact, grandma’s mentality can be understood by everyone. If it is replaced by anyone, if her daughter dies tragically, she will want to chop her enemies into meat sauce. If her daughter was really killed by the people in this village, and as a mother, she lost her beloved daughter, it would be reasonable for her to slaughter the village for revenge under her anger.
But hatred gradually distorted her psychology. She not only slaughtered the village, but also took revenge on the offspring of the villagers.
Descendants did not participate in things 35 years ago, like Lin Er, Liu Hui, etc. These babies who were born later didn’t know anything at all. They were blinded by their grandmothers from the time they were born. How innocent they are , Why have to endure more than thirty years of retaliation? Not only has he been in darkness since he was a child, but he has to drink soup made from the bones of his parents and grandparents every day?
In ancient times, someone who made a mistake would be “linked to the nine clans”. Modern times have long abolished this cruel system. A few people made mistakes, more than a hundred families in the village were buried with them, and even their descendants were retaliated against… This is a bit too far.
If the grandmother really wants to slaughter the village, then the challenger will face two choices.
The first option is to sit idly by. The clearance requirement for 4 of Spades does not have to “rescue the villagers”, but to find gems and survive in this world for seven days. As long as Liuxi Village is destroyed by the group again, the challengers can stay in the village for seven days, and they can also live in the villagers’ homes to avoid being exposed to wind and rain. The challenger who finds gems is equivalent to lying down and winning.
The second option is for the challenger who knows the truth to intervene with Grandma and Qin to prevent the recurrence of the slaughter case. More than 300 innocent villagers will be rescued and their offspring will not be blinded again. Influence.
But this choice will be very difficult. First of all, the villagers will not believe in these “outsiders”, and even more believe in the old lady Qin and grandmother. Once the villagers drank poisonous wine on the day of the Autumn Harvest Festival, they would die.
Xiao Lou looked at these four people and said, “I personally think that we have to save the villagers if we want to pass the customs perfectly.”
The four of them looked at each other and all agreed with this statement.
According to the timeline, the autumn harvest festival and Lin Er’s wife’s expected delivery date were both on the fifth day after they entered Liuxi Village, that is, three days later.
The challengers must have found all the gems on the fifth day. Some of the gems that were not found and wanted to be grabbed were eliminated after fierce internal fighting, either dead or injured. The remaining challengers took good care of the gems and just ignored them. , After the villager group is destroyed, they can directly pass the customs.
This is the easiest way to clear the game. It is basically the same as described when entering the 4 of Spades-hide from villagers, find gems, and then hide from other challengers, try to protect your gems from being robbed.
If you want to pass the customs perfectly, the villagers will be saved, and the difficulty has risen sharply.
However, thinking of the innocent children, Xiao Lou couldn’t just sit idly by. He looked at Yu Hanjiang and said, “We have to find a way to stop Grandma’s actions.”
The old Qi touched the beard on his chin and said, “Autumn Harvest Festival is the fifth day, right? Let’s try to go straight into the village on the night of the fourth day and steal all the medicine from Grandma.”
Xiao Lou: “…”
These four people are simply “theft gangs”-they went to steal the rooster and the dog last night, and then they went to steal the medicine.
Xiao Lou did not oppose this approach, and smiled and said, “You can try it. After all card skills are refreshed at 24:00 on the fifth day, everyone will act together. You go to grandma’s house and steal all her medicine. Let’s go. Old lady Qin changed her rice wine at home.”
The curly-haired woman was a little worried and said, “I wish it all went so smoothly.”
Her crow’s mouth caused Xiao Lou’s heart to jump suddenly, can it really go so smoothly? He had no bottom in his heart.
The seven people separated at the ruined temple, and the old Qi reminded: “There are still challengers in the village who have not got the gems. They will definitely grab you. You should be careful as much as possible.”
Xiao Lou nodded: “So do you.”
The four went up the mountain, and Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang and Liu Qiao returned to the farmland east of the village.
The two girls were chatting with Ye Qi under the tree, and their soft voices reached Xiao Lou’s ears: “We found a gem, have you found it? Do you want to work together to try to pass the level perfectly?”
These two are the girls who were robbed after catching the wooden box by the pond just now, and they are obviously lying.
Ye Qi was about to speak, but Shao Qingge suddenly stopped him behind him. He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: “We didn’t find the gems, and we were worried about what to do. I didn’t expect you two to come here? Obediently bring the gems. Stay.”
He winked at Ye Qi, and Ye Qi understood, and immediately came to the girls’ back with a teleport card. The balance trapped them, and immediately took out the guitar and started playing. The two girls suddenly felt sleepy. sleepy.
The two were shocked and hurriedly said: “We don’t have gems! Don’t do it!”
Ye Qi put the guitar away, and Shao Qingge smiled and said, “I know, you are testing whether we have props in our hands, and then try to grab us, right? Unfortunately, we don’t have any. Both of you should look elsewhere as soon as possible. Bar.”
The two girls ran away dingy.
After they left, the three Xiaolou came under the tree.
Ye Qi said excitedly, “Professor Xiao, what have you found?”
Xiao Lou simply repeated the conversation he heard in the ruined temple, and told Ye Qi his next plan.
Ye Qi said: “You must save! The criterion for perfect clearance should be to save the villagers. This is the same as the Liuxi Village dungeon in the stand-alone game. After the player enters the village, the first task is to avoid the villagers and find gems. In the process of finding gems, the player discovers the secrets of the village, and then triggers a hidden mission to save the villagers.”
Liu Qiao glanced at him: “Do you often play stand-alone games?”
Ye Qi laughed and said, “Well, but I am playing a fairy-like RPG game. According to the game’s routine, I gather seven gems to open the village organs and summon the dragon.”
Although there is no setting for “summoning dragons” in this secret room, Ye Qi’s understanding is similar. This is indeed like a plot village in the game. Players come to the village, discover the secrets, and save the villagers before they can pass the level.
Moreover, Xiao Lou remembered the words of the village chief: “As long as you are willing to help me, you can take away all the jade resources in the village.”
Maybe, those jade resources are rewards for perfect clearance?
Thinking of this, Xiao Lou said: “Since everyone agrees, we will plan the next action.” He looked at Yu Hanjiang and said, “Team Yu, you are more professional in this respect, what do you think should be done?”
Yu Hanjiang said: “At present, four people on Xishan are holding a group of two gems; five of us are holding a group of three gems; a couple escaped from the village with the gems; the last gem was snatched by the masked person. That person is very strong and can take things from the air. Those who have already got the gems are not easy to provoke. Other challengers who have not got the gems will definitely find a way to grab them, and they are likely to team up.”
Although Xiao Lou couldn’t bear it, he couldn’t help it. The Chamber of Spades was destined to eliminate people. I can only blame myself for being too slow if I can’t get it. Being robbed can only show that the strength is too weak.
Shao Qingge squinted his eyes and said: “The two girls just wanted to talk from us. After the secret room is refreshed at 24:00 tonight, the system will remind everyone that there are 0 remaining gems in Liuxi Village.”
Ye Qi said nervously: “In this way, those who didn’t get it will probably team up to grab something tomorrow! We have to guard against being robbed of gems, after all we have three!”
Yu Hanjiang took a deep breath and said, “I don’t want to confront other challengers head-on. If they are forced to kill everyone, we have no choice but to kill, so…”
Xiao Lou understood what he meant: “Should we go out of the village?”
Yu Hanjiang nodded: “Although it is dangerous outside the village, it is not a dead end. We have five people and a large number of cards. Dealing with a group of beasts without IQ is easier than dealing with other challengers.”
Everyone looked at each other and agreed with Team Yu’s opinion.
Xiao Lou smiled and said: “Then leave the village for two days, and come back when the fifth day of the Autumn Harvest Festival is about to start. Liuxi Village will definitely be very messy these two days, let’s not wade in this muddy water and go out to avoid it. ”
The five were about to turn around and leave.
The neglected village chief didn’t understand what everyone was saying about the game, the copy, and the rescue of the villagers, but when he heard that everyone was going to leave the village, he immediately interrupted everyone with fear and trembled: “There are many beasts outside the village, you, You don’t want to live anymore!”
Xiao Lou looked back at him with a gentle look: “The human heart is more terrifying than wild beasts.”
Ye Qi smiled and said, “The village chief, do you want to follow us?”
The village chief had a complicated expression. He shook his head subconsciously, but remembering that he had been expelled from the village, he finally nodded bitterly.
A group of six people walked away side by side.
On Xishan, Lao Qi, holding a telescope, suddenly said, “Are they out of the village?”
Xiao Wu next to him couldn’t help saying: “Stay in the village will be targeted by challengers who have not got the gems. In fact, it is not safe. What if a challenger breaks the jar and wants to drag us into the water?”
Old Qi nodded solemnly: “Or we should go out for two days.”
The four of them looked at each other and quickly descended.
A masked man suddenly emerged from behind the tree.
With a red gem in his hand, he followed quietly.
24:00 in the morning.
A prompt popped up in everyone’s floating box at the same time——
Liuxi Village, the third day, 24:00.
The number of remaining gems in the village: 0.
The number of remaining challengers in the village: 8 people.
Xiao Lou could not help but sighed when he saw this prompt: “There were still 18 challengers this morning, and now there are only 8. In fact… the gems have all been taken out of the village.”
The howling of wild wolves kept ringing in my ears, and the sound of rustling snakes crawling on the ground.
It’s dangerous in the wild, but when you take the gems to the wild, the survival rate is higher.
