Chapter 206 (Catching Bugs)
In the evening, when the sunset glow that could not reach the horizon filled the sky with magnificent light, Yun Mian sat on the firewood pile outside the cowshed and listened to the system uncle explain the plot carefully again.
The focus is on the time mom has left.
"The plot says it will happen at this time tomorrow afternoon, but Mianmian, you have protected your mother very well these past few days, so she shouldn't starve to death this time." After the system said this, it flew over and touched the child's forehead as a comfort.
Yunmian nodded seriously after listening to this.
Even though Uncle System said this, she knew that she had to save her mother as quickly as possible.
Thinking of this, the child jumped down from the firewood pile in two or three steps and ran home.
He just happened to run into Xie Jinan who was about to go out.
Yun Mian originally wanted to go up and talk to Xie Jinan, but He Guizhi, who couldn't bear to see her free for a moment, started calling her to work again.
She could only watch the protagonist sister leave, her cheeks puffed with anger, and she walked back into the house.
So annoying!
"Yunmian, go get some water and clean the house." He Guizhi ordered casually.
Her hands were not idle either. She was cutting red paper with scissors, and I don't know what she was cutting out.
Yun Mian shifted his gaze away from her and looked at another "idler".
He Jiarong was sitting on a stool, eating snacks and watching cartoons. The TV was a few years old and only a limited number of programs could be searched. When the cartoons were playing, He Jiarong occupied the TV at home.
Less than three days after arriving at this place, Yun Mian no longer asked stupid questions like why He Jiarong didn't have to work.
She secretly glared at He Guizhi's back, then turned around to find something to wipe the table.
The system uncle said that we must not alert the enemy at the last moment and must not make this family unhappy. If he thought of his mother and found out that something was wrong with her, it would be bad.
So Yunmian puffed up her cheeks and chose to endure silently.
Once her mother is rescued, she will make sure to give these bad guys the most work in the world to do, so that they won’t be able to stop for even a second!
The system squatted on the windowsill nearby, watching the host wiping the table obediently. The more it looked, the more it felt that the child looked pitiful. It couldn't help but fly over and knocked He Guizhi's head twice in annoyance.
It's a ball, hitting He Guizhi on the head doesn't count as bullying the elderly!
He Guizhi only felt a headache, but she had been working hard for this family for many years, so it was normal for her to have more pains, so she took a break and sat on the stool next to her to rest without much energy.
Yun Mian saw all of System Uncle's actions. When she turned her back, she secretly smiled at System Uncle and was no longer so perfunctory in her work.
On the other side, Xie Jinan and He Jiapeng also reunited with the other three.
Xie Jinan still focused his attention on Wang Zhiyong. Su Xiaotong and Zhang Yu also seemed to have discovered something in the past two days, and both of them did not look very good.
Wang Zhiyong first asked them if they had any discoveries.
Su Xiaotong hesitated for a moment, tugged at the corner of Zhang Yu's clothes, and when their eyes met, she mouthed the words to ask whether he should say it out loud.
Zhang Yu glanced at the other three people, hesitated for a few seconds, and nodded to Su Xiaotong.
"Then let's talk about it first." Su Xiaotong said softly: "Zhang Yu and I have tried other methods these two days. We found several ways to get out, but we couldn't get out. However, we found that there were many... small graves on the mountain. I'm not sure if it is, but it looks like there is something buried inside. However, we didn't dare to dig it up."
She was a bit timid to begin with, and when she accidentally entered this mountain village, she acted even more cautiously, fearing that she might make a mistake and get into danger.
Zhang Yu nodded and agreed with Su Xiaotong, and said to the three people: "No one has offered sacrifices to those graves, but no incense sticks have been seen. There is also a group of graves on the other side, but there are stone tablets and sacrifices... We suspect that there may be something strange about those graves. We can go and take a look together tomorrow."
After they finished speaking, they looked at Wang Zhiyong.
Wang Zhiyong still looked a little unnatural. He deliberately changed the subject and asked Xie Jinan and He Jiapeng if they had found any useful clues.
"You should speak first." Xie Jinan declined, "You haven't given any useful clues in the past few times. We can't let you have sex for free after we finish speaking, right?"
There was a hint of bluntness in his words, and after he finished speaking, Wang Zhiyong's expression turned angry.
But four people were looking at him, so even if he wanted to do anything, it would be somewhat futile.
So after being depressed for a long time, he perfunctorily said: "I didn't find any useful information. You know I'm the only one at home, and there's no one to talk to. Where can I find clues?"
What I said...
Zhang Yu looked at him for a few times, frowned and said, "It shouldn't be like this. Your identity is better than ours. You are a villager, so it should be easier for you to act than for us, right? How could you not have any clues? We agreed to cooperate at the beginning. Now it's the second day. What are you still hiding?"
He Jiapeng also pushed his glasses: "I also got some information, but it has little to do with the truth we are looking for. I am just a student. They avoided me when talking to me, so I couldn't get a word in... Logically speaking, Brother Wang, you should be easier to get than me, right?"
The only two men left in the team objected to Wang Zhiyong's words. Wang Zhiyong managed to remain calm and said in a deep voice: "...I'll try again next time."
Xie Jinan saw through his thoughts at a glance and said lightly: "Then let me share the clues I found first."
"But before we share clues, could you please take out your ID cards and verify each other? I guess there might be more than one camp in this game."
After saying that, as Wang Zhiyong's face changed drastically, she took out her ID card and showed it to several people.
Su Xiaotong and Zhang Yu didn't expect there would be such a big trap. After looking at each other, they took out their ID cards. The information on the ID cards of the three people was no different from the beginning.
The only two people left were Wang Zhiyong and He Jiapeng, and they never took out their ID cards.
"...What do you mean?" Under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, he subconsciously raised his hand to cover his pocket and said in a deep voice: "You also said that you were guessing, how can I know whether what you said is true or false? Besides, aren't players just one camp?"
It was a very pale question. He never expected Xie Jinan to bring up this matter so bluntly and even verify the ID card on the spot.
He also knew that his questioning was very suspicious, so he turned his gaze to He Jiapeng, the only one of the five who did not take out his ID card, and winked at him, but he stepped back step by step.
He Jiapeng nodded to him, and then said, "Everyone calm down first..."
As he spoke, he approached Wang Zhiyong unnoticed. When Wang Zhiyong was not on guard against his "companion", he reached out and subdued him. Xie Jinan also immediately rushed over and covered Wang Zhiyong's mouth.
She and He Jiapeng held down the struggling Wang Zhiyong and shouted to the other two who were stunned by the incident, "Don't just stand there, come and help!"
Zhang Yu was stronger than her, and after he subdued Wang Zhiyong for her, Xie Jinan took out an ID card from the pocket that Wang Zhiyong had just covered with his hand.
The three letters "npc" were clearly written on it.
Xie Jinan turned the card over to show the others, then half-knelt in front of Wang Zhiyong, met his unwilling and resentful gaze, chuckled and said, "Choosing a camp is such an important matter, how could you make a decision behind our backs? We should have discussed it together, otherwise it would have led to this situation. We are deeply saddened to lose a powerful partner."
She deliberately chose a remote valley to gather, where there was no one around, so even if she couldn't subdue Wang Zhiyong in the first place, she would have more room for maneuver.
She stood up and said to the other two who were still a little confused, "We have asked the game system before about the camp selection. Once you choose a camp and win, you will get a new player gift pack. This is also a hidden gameplay of this novice level. However, only a few lucky ones can choose their own camp."
As she spoke, she took out the identity card from He Jiapeng's pocket and showed it to the two of them: "He has already chosen the player camp, so we need to eliminate the hostile players from the other camp. In order for us to unite and cooperate, we have to take action against him."
Su Xiaotong and Zhang Yu spent a few seconds digesting this information, which they had never seen before. After a while, they said to Xie Jinan, "What should he do?"
Su Xiaotong pointed at Wang Zhiyong who was subdued on the ground.
"Knock him out first."
As soon as Xie Jinan finished speaking, He Jiapeng took action without hesitation.
However, maybe because they had never had such contact before, he had to hit the person on the back of the neck several times before he knocked him out. It was not as handsome and neat as he had imagined.
Facing the gazes of several people, He Jiapeng coughed dryly to try to hide his embarrassment: "What should we do next? If he wakes up, he will probably inform the people in the village. How about finding a place to hide him?"
"I don't know if he will die when the game ends." Su Xiaotong thought a little more.
As the person who planned all this, Xie Jinan stared at the man on the ground for a moment and suggested, "Hide him in his own home, cover his mouth, tie his hands and feet, and stuff him into the water tank behind his home. We can deal with him after we pass the customs."
After determining the whereabouts of the only player from the opposing camp, Xie Jinan looked at the others, and then he and Zhang Yu shared the real clues they had discovered in the past two days.
The other two were shocked and confused by the whole process. They couldn't understand why the progress of the game was so different when they were both players and playing the same game.
Others have already started to save NPCs, but they are still in the dark...
"If we want to save people, we can go secretly at night." Su Xiaotong came back to his senses and actively participated in the game progress: "But are you sure you can get the truth after rescuing that NPC?"
"It's roughly confirmed. Now the important thing is what to do with that iron chain." He Jiapeng couldn't help but worry when he thought of the long iron chain.
Zhang Yu thought about it and suggested: "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, if it is nailed to the beam, we can definitely find a way to climb up to the roof and find a way to get it down. We don't have to untie the one on the wrist. Let's solve the source first, and then we can slowly find a way to fix the one on the wrist."
"But I think the most difficult thing now is what you mentioned before. How are we going to leave here under the siege of the whole village after rescuing the people?" He frowned and said in a deep voice: "It's still calm now, but those who have played the game know some crisis trigger mechanisms. If we have to face the siege after rescuing people, to be honest... the success rate is very low, unless we find a way to subdue everyone in the village like this."
He pointed at Wang Zhiyong who was unconscious at his feet.
Su Xiaotong: Is this the gap between me and the big boss?
Xie Jinan: No, this is the difference between open-book exams and closed-book exams.
