Chapter 44 Village Chief, Are You Still So Strong and Healthy?

Jian Yue and Shen Yushu returned to the house.

On the way, he more or less thought about Wen Yu's words. Most importantly, Jian Yue looked at his system panel, which showed that he only had 27 hours left to survive after being cursed by Ji Feng.

In fact, he had no idea what would happen after the curse took effect.

However, he did not intend to give up just like that. After returning, Shen Yushu had to deal with the official business that had not been handled that day. Jian Yue sat not far from him. Shen Yushu gave him a laptop so that he could look up information more conveniently.

Ji Feng's curse is what he has to deal with right now.

Since it is a curse, there must be a way to lift the curse. Nothing can be unsolvable.

"Boom boom boom"

There's someone knocking on the door.

Jian Yue looked back and said, "Please come in."

It was Li Guang from the archaeological team. He stood at the door and said, "Boss Shen, I'm sorry to bother you, but we have something to discuss with Butler Wang. Can we talk to him for a while?"

Shen Yushu frowned and looked at Li Guang and asked, "Is there anything that can't be said here?"

Li Guang hesitated and replied, "It's something in the house..."

Jian Yue guessed that they wanted to talk about the dungeon, but it was inconvenient for Shen Yushu to hear them, so they could only come to him in this roundabout way. Although he didn't plan to cooperate with them, Jian Yue didn't want to make things too difficult for them, so he simply stood up and said, "Master, I'll go out for a while and come back after I'm done."

Although Shen Yushu was somewhat dissatisfied and didn't want to let him go, since Jian Yue had said so, he would be unkind if he disagreed. Besides, this was a free and democratic society, and he didn't want to restrict Butler Wang's personal freedom, so he nodded and said, "Well, go ahead."

Jian Yue stood up and left with Li Guang.

It was getting a little late at this moment, but the sun had not yet completely set, so it was still a relatively safe time.

Wen Yu and others were sitting in a small lounge.

As soon as Jian Yue came in, all the members of the archaeological team were there. Everyone gathered together and smelled a heavy smell of corpse oil lamps. He frowned, but still didn't show much. He just sat down and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Wen Yu used to be full of calculations towards Jian Yue, but now her attitude was much gentler. She said, "Butler Wang, I called you here to discuss the curse with you. I think you have seen that we don't have much time."

Jian Yue nodded and said, "Well, do you have any ideas?"

Wen Yu paused and said, "We have tried many ways to break the curse, and finally found that this curse seems to come from the power of the mountain god statue. To be precise, anyone who has seen the mountain god statue is actually cursed, and it just needs a medium to be triggered. For example, the three of us, as well as Li Guang, have all seen the mountain god statue, so when we saw the photo, the curse was triggered."

Jian Yue asked, "Is there no one else watching?"

"Yes." Wen Yu nodded and said, "We have experimented with this."

Jian Yue smiled and said, "So, the only ones cursed here are me, Brother Dao, you and Li Guang?"

Wen Yu nodded.

Jian Yue raised his eyebrows and glanced meaningfully at Tiantian and Li Meng behind him.

It must be said that these two girls were smart for once and did not tell anyone that he had taken them there. Wen Yu's logic was that anyone who had seen the mountain god would be cursed if they looked at the photo again, but this was obviously not the case. If this was the case, Tiantian and Li Meng should have been cursed as well. Since they were not, it meant that the condition for triggering the curse was not this at all.

Jian Yue asked: "Have you found a way to lift the curse?"

"We think the problem may be with the mountain god statue." Wen Yu tentatively said, "So we think that we may have been cursed because we entered the mountain god temple without being from the village. After careful research, we think we can try another method."

Jian Yue asked: "What method?"

He was really curious.

Wen Yu said quickly, "How about I marry you, Steward Wang? Then we will be considered half villagers, and maybe the mountain god will not punish us."

Jian Yue: “…”

For a moment he even wondered if he was too tired during the day and was hallucinating.

Jian Yue smiled and said, "I think, according to this logic, I might as well marry the village chief. That way I will be more of a villager."

Wen Yu's mouth twitched, and she asked, "Butler Wang, are you kidding?"

"You were the one who joked first." Jian Yue said lightly.

Wen Yu finally realized that Jian Yue was probably playing a trick on her.

The audience in the live broadcast room were both angry and amused:

"That's what these freaks want to do!"

"Isn't she the heroine?"

“This plot is going to go to the sky!!”

"Oh my god, the heroine is going to marry Butler Wang!"

You have to know that Wanfu Village was just a novice dungeon before. Even if the player's individual performance was outstanding, it would only be popular for a short time. But now it's incredible. The heroine of this dungeon of Wanfu Village wants to go to the mountain temple to marry the housekeeper. The housekeeper not only refuses, but also says that he would rather marry the village chief! !

This matter is explosive from every perspective.

Thousands of live broadcast rooms flash across the screen in the live broadcast hall every day, and most of them will not be noticed. Only some popular and strong anchors will have traffic. The large-screen live broadcast rooms in the square are only a miniature of 200 live broadcast rooms. Only the most popular live broadcast rooms in this time period can be shown. The live broadcast rooms that can appear in the square must be of very high quality.

And today.

A new live broadcast room broke into it.

The number of people online even exceeded 10,000. A curious player came over and found that the copy in this live broadcast room was actually a novice copy! !

Someone curiously asked: "What's so good about this novice copy?"

The player standing in the live broadcast room and watching answered, "I don't know. I just came out of the dungeon. My friend called me here. He said that the shows being shown in this novice live broadcast room include reforming a scary ghost village, players running for village cadres, an 80-year-old woman who is the right age to break through, oh, and a domineering president and a pretty housekeeper, the heroine and the hero are about to pull their hair, and a family-killing monster is devoted to Brother Daniel!"

Passerby player: “…let me go.”

"Why, you want to leave?"

"No, I mean, move over for me, I want to watch it too."

In Wanfu Village.

The players' meeting continues.

Jian Yue stood up and said, "I don't think the idea of ​​marriage is feasible. If this method works, then all players can just marry each other. It's impossible for a copy to set up such a simple method to break the curse. Captain Wen, you should think about it again. I'm leaving now."

When he finished speaking, everyone had different expressions.

Wen Yu had never expected that, although she was not as pretty as a flower, she still had some charm! !

It’s fine that Brother Dao doesn’t like her. After all, after what happened to Brother Da Niu, she knew that Brother Dao was probably not straight. But...what about Butler Wang? She heard from Tiantian that it was Butler Wang who was pursuing Brother Da Niu at the beginning, but didn’t Butler Wang reject him because he said he was a straight man?

If she can't take down a Dao brother, she can't take down a straight man, Wang Guanjia? !

This is really outrageous!!

Li Guang behind Wen Yu was even more excited than she was. Li Guang said, "Butler Wang, what's your attitude? It's not like our Sister Yu is begging you to cooperate! What do you mean by being so aloof?"

Jian Yue ignored him. What a joke! Instead of wasting time talking, he might as well go back and hug his boss to sleep.

Wen Yu chased after him and said, "Butler Wang!"

Jian Yue sighed helplessly, turned around and looked at her and said, "Captain Wen, do you have anything else to do?"

"I..." Wen Yu could only resort to ruthless tactics. She said, "Butler Wang, to be honest, we have obtained useful intelligence. The Mountain God Festival will be held in a few days. The people in this village actually want to sacrifice us to the Mountain God. After the sacrificial ceremony, they will use our lives to exchange for theirs. In fact, our names are engraved on the back of the nameplate of the ancestral hall, and they will be replaced on the day of the Mountain God Festival."

Jian Yue asked: "How did you know?"

Wen Yu could only tell the truth: "We are old players. We got the guide before playing this dungeon. I swear on my cards that what I said is true!"

In the nightmare copy, swearing on a card is the most cruel, because the card will record these words, and if violated, the consequences will be very serious.

Jian Yue seemed to be thinking about something.

If it was about exchanging lives, why would Shen Yushu's name be on the back of the nameplate? Would Shen Yushu also die on the day of the mountain god sacrifice? No, he would never allow such a thing to happen.

Wen Yu hurriedly said, "Butler Wang, I really didn't lie to you. The previous players only gave two ways to break the mountain god's curse. The first is that we need to get the four magic weapons hidden by the villagers to suppress the beast. With the magic weapons, our curse can be alleviated. The second way is..."

She hesitated.

Jian Yue asked: "What is the second one?"

"The second way is..." Wen Yu hesitated, "Like those villagers, using other people's lives to exchange for your own life."

Jian Yue had a feeling that it was just as expected. The world of dungeons was always cruel. After giving people hope, it would definitely give people despair.

Wen Yu said, "But we will never do such a cruel thing as exchanging life for life. Butler Wang, Brother Dao and I have found a way to get the bronze magic weapon from the archives. As long as you can find a way to get the one under the tree at the village chief's house, we will have two magic weapons and a way to ease the curse!"

The audience in the live broadcast room was stunned by her shamelessness:

"There's not much left of that curse in the Archives."

"Leave the one at the village chief's house to someone else."

"You are invincible!"

"If the anchor believes it tomorrow and takes the bronze utensil, he will be dead!"

Jian Yue didn't plan to agree immediately. He needed to think carefully about this matter which sounded like a trap.

The system panel is refreshed:

Trigger limited-time mission: [Bronze artifacts in the village chief's house]

Mission details: The unearthed bronze artifacts in the village chief's home are very fragrant. To protect the cultural relics, please handle them properly.

Task validity: 24 hours

Mission Reward: Unknown

This was not the first time that Jian Yue accepted a mission with an unknown reward, but the rewards for each mission were pretty good. Thinking of this, his expression towards Wen Yu improved a little. He coughed lightly and said, "Although I think it is too dangerous to rashly look for these magic weapons, but then again, success is often accompanied by danger. Captain Wen, what you said makes sense. I'll give it a try."

Butler Wang agreed! !

Wen Yu was overjoyed. She said, if Dao Ge couldn't take him down, it would be easy to take down Butler Wang. Now that she had made a slight move, he was already working for her. She had already thought about it. Tomorrow, she would bring the magic weapon from the archives to Butler Wang to show him her sincerity. Then she would use the card skills to confuse him. By then, let alone the magic weapon, everything would be hers! !

Return from the meeting room.

Jian Yue returned to Shen Yushu's study.

Shen Yushu glanced at Jian Yue and said, "What did you talk about? Why did you talk for so long?"

Jian Yue said: "We didn't talk about anything, just some house matters."

Shen Yushu snorted and said, "If there is anything, I can't talk to you during the day. I must talk to you at night!"

The question is, how come he didn't know before that Butler Wang had such a good relationship with the people in the archaeological team? When they met this afternoon, they were even able to chat familiarly. In the evening, the people in the archaeological team even specifically called Butler Wang over to talk!

He knew the strength of Butler Wang best. Apart from talking nonsense, he had no other abilities. Why did those people from the archaeological team call Butler Wang? Could it be that they were attracted to him? Damn it! This damn man was restless!

Shen Yushu was thinking about this and said to Jian Yue, "You should have less contact with them if you have nothing to do."

Jian Yue smiled and said, "This old servant is doing this for the old lady's sake. I'm afraid that something might go wrong and upset the young master."

Shen Yushu was stunned.

Jian Yue walked up to him. The light in the room felt warm when it fell on him. He leaned over to look at him and chuckled, "If the young master is unhappy, just have less contact with him in the future."

It turns out Butler Wang did all this for him!

It turns out that the person Butler Wang loves more is himself!

Shen Yushu's expression softened a lot. He put down the pen in his hand. Jian Yue just bent down and hugged him. In the quiet room, the two of them hugged each other quietly for a while. They didn't even need to do anything. Just hugging each other and smelling the familiar scent of each other made them feel at ease enough.

a long time.

Shen Yushu lowered his head, half covering his stern face, and whispered, "Do you think I have a bad temper?"

Jian Yue blinked and said, "No."

Is there anyone in the world with a better temper than Shen Yushu? He doesn't deduct his attendance bonus even if he's late or leaves early, and he's tolerated even when he's cheating. If all the bosses in the world are like this, there won't be any turnover rate in this world!

"Really?" Shen Yushu hugged him. In the quiet night, Jian Yue could not see his half-hidden face and the expression in his eyes. He said, "I'm always afraid that you will change your mind."

Jian Yue was stunned. Why would the young master think like this? For a penniless man like him to meet someone like the boss, in the eyes of others, it was like a toad trying to eat swan meat. Well, in his own eyes, it was the same.

Wait, here’s the question!

How could the young master make him sound like a hot commodity? How could anyone like him?

Well...it seems like there is indeed a big guy like him.

Jian Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Master, you are so outstanding. Shouldn't I be the one who should worry about this kind of problem? It is my great honor to be by your side. How could you change your mind?"

Shen Yushu said: "Really?"

Jian Yue nodded and said, "Really."

Shen Yushu sneered, and his eyes regained their cool and domineering look. He glanced at Jian Yue and said, "You'd better remember what you said, man. I gave you a chance!"

Jian Yue: “…”

No, sir, are you sure you gave it to me?

Wasn't that a question just now?!

never mind.

Jian Yue thought that there were not many people who were so blind as the young master to fall in love with him. He had never been in love before and thought that there would never be anyone he wanted to be with in his life. Unexpectedly, he would be with a man whom he had known for less than a month, and he had adapted to the man very well. So well that he felt that this was the man and he didn't want to change him.

So Jian Yue smiled and said, "Okay, young master, I will definitely cherish this opportunity!"

Shen Yushu glanced at him and said, "Really?"

Jian Yue nodded, thinking that the young master understood his loyalty and wanted to express some sincere feelings.

But I don't want to.

Shen Yushu's kiss blocked his mouth. The moment his breath was taken away, he heard Shen Yushu's deep and powerful voice in his ear: "Then prove it to me with your actions."

"Um... Master, this is a study room, it's not a good idea..."

"You don't want to?" Shen Yushu's hand supported his head, and his rough fingertips stroked his neck. The man's voice became low again, and he sneered: "I knew that what you just said was a lie. You want to change..."

Jian Yue hurriedly said: "Yes, I am willing, I am especially willing!"

Shen Yushu had an expression that said, "I knew you were saying one thing and thinking another." His coat was casually thrown onto a chair not far away, and the clothes of both of them were scattered on the ground.

It was a quiet night, but the temperature in the study was getting higher and higher.

Just when Jian Yue felt that he was about to suffocate again, he felt Shen Yushu's breath falling on his ear. It was hot and warm. He couldn't see his expression, but he could feel the strong pressure from him and heard his words falling into his ear: "Butler Wang, remember, you will never escape from my palm in this life."

…

Day 2

When Jian Yue woke up from bed, he found that it was already noon.

He sat up suddenly.

Depend on!

Beauty can mislead people!!

My waist is a little sore. Never mind. I'll just take some medicine later and save my points.

Jian Yue comforted himself in his heart. When he opened the panel, he found that the survival time had turned into a countdown of 18 hours and six minutes! No, I can't sleep anymore. If I sleep any more, I will really die.

He got up, put on his clothes, and ate the breakfast that Shen Yushu had left for him on the table.

Jian Yue walked outside and met Aunt Zhang and said, "Aunt Zhang, tell the young master not to leave any food for me at noon. I'll be back in the afternoon. If he asks, just say that there's something going on at the village committee!"

Aunt Zhang: “…”

I slept until noon and now I am feeling more active.

Jian Yue went to the village committee first, hoping to find the village chief to inquire about the bronze ware in his family. Unexpectedly, the village chief was not there. Speaking of which, the village chief had been elusive in the past two days, so it was not easy to find him!

Forget it, let’s go to the village chief’s house first.

Jian Yue walked towards the village chief's house. To be honest, he already had an idea of ​​where the Shen family's bronze magic weapon was. Although he couldn't be sure about the magic weapon in the ancestral hall, he had a rough guess. If he could find the one in the village chief's house, he would have three magic weapons in his hands. Whether these things were useful or not was another matter, but he absolutely could not let Wen Yu and the others get them all.

"Butler Wang!" someone called him from behind.

Jian Yue turned around and said unexpectedly: "Tiantian?"

"Captain Wen said that you were going to the village chief's house to get the magic weapon today!" Tiantian and Wang Kun ran over and said, "She asked us to help you. She said that she would not trust anyone else with this task. Only the two of us can help you. This means she is making great use of us!"

It's surveillance.

But Wen Yu would definitely not say that to the two newcomers. These two silly kids were sold and are still counting money for others!

Jian Yue was too lazy to expose her. He also had something to ask, so he asked, "Did you go to the village chief's house with Captain Wen yesterday? How was the process of digging for bronze artifacts?"

Wang Kun replied, “We wasted several cards’ skills when we were looking for the location, and we finally found it with great difficulty. But after we dug for a while, the village chief and his men came back and stopped us from digging, saying that this was the treasure of Wanfu Village and could not be touched.”

Tiantian also nodded and said, "Yes, the village chief is very scary, and we dare not disobey him, so we can only come back."

Jian Yue frowned. It seemed that it would not be easy for him to get this bronze artifact.

As everyone was talking, they happened to walk under the tree. From a distance, they could see the pit dug under the tree. Looking down, they could faintly see the outlines of some bronze artifacts. It seemed that the digging was indeed stopped halfway yesterday.

Tiantian whispered, "Butler Wang, the village chief doesn't seem to be here. Should we dig while he's away?"

Wang Kun also nodded and said, "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, as Brother Dao said! We are now in a horror instance, and in a few days those people will ask us to be scapegoats. For safety, we just took a magic weapon, it won't be a problem!"

Jian Yue glanced at the bronze artifact and said, "The village chief saw you digging yesterday. If you dig while he's away, he'll find you sooner or later, and then you'll be considered stealing. According to Mr. Shen's personality, if he knew someone from the archaeological team stole the villagers' property, he would directly send you two to the police station. Then you two won't have to participate in the mountain god sacrifice, and you'll be safe."

Tiantian/Wang Kun: “…”

I don't know why, but I feel like this is something that Mr. Shen can do.

Wang Kun hesitated and asked, "What should we do then?"

Jian Yue said directly: "Dig."

Tiantian asked in confusion: "What are you digging for?"

Jian Yue said: "Dig it out first."

Wang Kun immediately went to find a shovel. Before he had dug a few times, he heard an angry voice not far away: "What are you doing?"

The village chief ran over panting from not far away, and his eyes darkened when he saw Jian Yue. Why is this annoying guy here again? Every time he comes, something bad happens. This time, he will definitely not indulge Butler Wang again!

"Secretary Wang!" The village chief seemed to have finally found something to hold against him. "What are you doing? Are you leading people to destroy the treasure of our Wanfu Village? Is this what you, as a secretary, should do?"

Tiantian and Wang Kun felt their hearts tighten and they were trembling with guilt.

Jian Yue said calmly, "Village Chief, you really misunderstood me. It is precisely because I know this is the treasure of the village that I think it should be dug out and well protected. After all, isn't it time for a flood to come? It's too unsafe to leave it here."

The village chief snorted coldly, "Nonsense! Do you think I will believe you? The river has burst its banks and the village is in trouble. I work hard every day to help the villagers, but you waste your time here instead of doing anything for them! You're thinking about the treasure of the village! Are you worthy of being a village party secretary? If I were you, how could I continue to do this!"

Seeing that the village chief had already determined the crime, he seemed to refuse to communicate.

A golden card in front of Jian Yue was triggered and took effect. It flew through the air and a line of words appeared:

【Eight Triggers】:

[Gossip: The latest gossip, the village chief cured some symptoms by looking at his phone these past two days, and tried to abandon Widow Li and get together with Widow Wang from the west of the village. He just went to the west of the village to give Widow Wang flowers! ! ]

[Skill cooldown time 12 hours]

Jian Yue: “…”

Depend on!

He glanced at the person not far away. Isn’t it... Village chief, you are still so strong and healthy at your age?
