Chapter 35: Misty Rain in Jiangnan (VI)
"...Abei, it's time to wake up, or your mother will scold you again!"
A clear boy's voice rang in my ears.
Feng Zhibei sat up suddenly. The person who was speaking in front of him seemed startled by him and took half a step back.
"...Abei! I called you so many times just now. Your mother is so busy, how can you be lazy here! Go, go, help her with the work!"
A young man in gray cloth pushed him, trying to make him stand up.
Feng Zhibei still had a splitting headache and didn't have the energy to deal with the NPC in front of him.
He stood up following the other person's movements, and looked around while enduring the severe pain.
This should be the second floor of a small building. Only part of the treetops can be seen outside the window, with a few black birds standing on them.
Feng Zhibei originally thought they were magpies, but after calming down for a while and looking carefully, he found that they were actually a few crows.
Their red eyes were fixed on the room, and they tilted their heads silently.
"Your mother is downstairs making medicine. We'll have to invite the empress the day after tomorrow. You need to be ready!"
Seeing that he didn't respond, the boy pouted and said, "Forget it! You are always like this. I will go find my sister!"
After saying that, he ran downstairs on his own.
After a sound of footsteps, there was a commotion downstairs, with laughter mixed with the sound of tinkling and clanging.
Feng Zhibei stood there and rubbed his temples, and after a few seconds he regained some energy.
He clicked on the copy information to check his current identity and plot.
After looking at it for a long time, he squeezed out a puzzled "Hmm?"
Synopsis: You are an ordinary child. As your hometown's spiritual festival approaches, you and your mother are actively preparing for it. However, your mother seems a little strange...
Game mission: Discover the truth behind the invitation to the gods activity]
"A normal kid...?"
After Feng Zhibei finished reading this sentence, he realized that his voice was no longer the hoarse voice of an adult, but a slightly childish voice. Even his vision had changed a lot.
He walked to the window and gestured. He was now about ten centimeters shorter than when he was an adult, probably around 1.55 to 1.6 meters tall.
Feng Zhibei was shocked. This was probably his height when he was less than ten years old.
Although he was malnourished as a child, he grew surprisingly fast. Compared with other children, he was tall and thin, and his slender figure was very conspicuous.
The sequelae were also obvious. After entering puberty, his height hardly grew by one centimeter.
Feng Zhibei's head started to ache again. He rubbed his head and wanted to take some painkillers from his backpack, but then he remembered what Yan Chuxue had told them.
"If it's not an emergency, try not to use drugs from the mall, as the side effects are quite severe."
As for what the side effects are...
He lowered his head to look at his spirit value. It had remained at 44 since he logged out of the last copy. Occasionally, it would drop to 42 when he woke up in the morning, but it would quickly recover.
And now his spirit value has dropped to 39.
Suddenly, an exceptionally strong crow flew in from outside the window and rushed straight into the house.
Feng Zhibei's train of thought was interrupted by it, and he quickly dodged, watching the crow circle around the house in a strange flying posture, and finally landed carefully.
It tiptoed towards Feng Zhibei, with a hint of confusion in its red eyes.
Feng Zhibei: "...Why does this bird look like it just learned how to fly?"
It was rare to encounter an animal in a dungeon that had no malicious intent at all. He found it amusing and walked over to poke the crow.
Unexpectedly, the crow took a step back, fell to the ground, and tilted its head.
Feng Zhibei: "..."
He chuckled softly a few times, "Little thing, what's going on?"
After saying that, he shook his head again, "Why am I playing with crows... Let's go down and take a look first."
Feng Zhibei turned around and went downstairs, but he didn't notice that the crow on the floor staggered a few times, tilted its head and stared at him until his figure completely disappeared.
The people in the live broadcast room were already laughing like crazy.
[Oh my god! Guess who that crow is?]
[? Isn't that a random little animal from the dungeon? ?]
No, this is the richest man!!! I just watched from his perspective for a while and I almost died of laughter, trying to control my unfamiliar body.jpg
[But I have to say that from the perspective of animals, this cub really looks like a giant angel, with a stunning beauty.]
What is this? Little angel! Hug one! What is this? Little angel! Hug one!
Feng Zhibei was completely unaware of this.
He carefully went down the stairs and stuck his head out.
"Abei, what are you doing? Just now, Atong said you wouldn't come over even though you were upstairs..."
Downstairs, a tall woman was fiddling with something in the middle of the room with her back to him. Without even turning her head, she continued, "Abei, help me get some sweet fruit. The Queen is waiting for it."
...Empress?
Feng Zhibei responded first and looked around.
The surrounding furnishings are basically the same as all the ancient Jiangnan houses, and you can see that they are quite old, with many cracks on the wooden furniture.
In a corner not far away, there was a mahogany table with a few fruits on it, which looked a little shriveled.
He walked to the table and glanced at the woman out of the corner of his eye.
The woman seemed to feel his gaze and turned to smile at him, "What's wrong? Did you get confused during sleep and don't recognize your mother?"
“……?!”
When he saw her face clearly, Feng Zhibei's breathing stopped.
The woman had long black hair, picturesque eyebrows, a pair of slender eyes and curved eyebrows that were very harmonious, and her red lips were slightly parted, making her look particularly charming.
This is a very beautiful face, perfectly matching everyone's impression of ancient Jiangnan beauties, but the point is...
Feng Zhibei's whole body was tense, his hands were clenched into fists, and he was on guard from head to toe.
——She looks exactly like the woman who appeared at the end of the previous copy, even her expression is exactly the same.
Seeing that he was silent, the woman showed a vivid expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "You, you have been stupid since you were a child..."
After she finished speaking, she waved to Feng Zhibei and said, “Go out and play, inviting the queen is what adults should do.”
No, that's not right.
Feng Zhibei was clearly aware that his current state was not right, but he was completely trapped in this emotion.
When he saw her, he couldn't help but recall the feeling of his body rotting and melting bit by bit in the Happy University copy.
The pain of body parts rapidly necrotizing and falling off, and the despair of being unable to escape no matter what.
He opened his mouth involuntarily, breathing rapidly, his eyes unfocused.
"...Abei, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, the woman withdrew her smile and stared at him with a pair of dark eyes. "The day after tomorrow is a big wedding day. How can you do this..."
In an instant, a cold and damp feeling enveloped my body.
Feng Zhibei shuddered, his pupils focused for a moment, then quickly dispersed.
If he had consciously glanced at the attribute panel at this time, he would have discovered that his mental value was fluctuating violently, and the value was constantly changing, as if it was broken and he couldn't see the specific number clearly.
The woman walked over step by step, and the soles of her shoes made a tapping sound as they touched the ground, which was particularly abrupt in this environment.
"My child, why can't you be more obedient..."
She stroked Feng Zhibei's hair with a loving expression, "Three years ago, I picked you up from the river and brought you home. Do you know how hard it was for me? Why can't you tame me..."
Feng Zhibei was held stiffly in her arms, his head being stroked, giving him goosebumps all over his body, and his whole body was screaming danger.
His current state is like his soul is sealed in his body. He can feel the danger coming and wants to escape.
But I can't do it.
His eyelids trembled violently, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes.
Move a little faster...ah...
At this moment, the sound of feathers flapping rang in my ears, followed by the crisp sound of porcelain breaking.
In the chaos, the woman let go of Feng Zhibei, turned around and picked up a branch, frowned, and kept muttering.
"These crows! They come in and steal food again. How annoying..."
The branches cut through the air with a popping sound, and with the caws of a few crows, something else was broken.
The woman didn't care about Feng Zhibei, and chased the crow back and forth, cursing.
"Well!"
Suddenly, Feng Zhibei was hit hard on the back of his head by something.
He shook his body and unexpectedly found that he could move.
After the cold and damp feeling faded away, he realized that he was sweating coldly.
"Ouch! You hit my son!"
The woman screamed and waved a branch to drive the crows away.
Only then did Feng Zhibei realize that it was the crow that hit him with its body.
He looked at the woman with her hands on her hips, still feeling frightened, and ran out quickly while she was unaware.
It was not until he went out and ran several dozen meters that he felt reborn.
The sun was a bit dazzling that day, so Feng Zhibei found a spot under the shade of a tree and thought about the information he had obtained while recovering his health.
First, this woman...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder again.
There's definitely something wrong with this woman. The game's story guide clearly states that she's a bit strange as a "mother," but the game's mission is to uncover the truth behind the spirit-inviting activities.
So there must be some connection between the two, and the role played by women in this matter is crucial.
so……
Feng Zhibei took a deep breath to calm his inner fear.
He didn't know what would have happened if the crow hadn't intervened this time.
You must be prepared before your next meeting with a woman.
Feng Zhibei rubbed his hot cheeks with his cold hands, not knowing that at this moment, a crow was standing on the tree above his head, staring at him quietly.
From Yan Chuxue's perspective, although young Feng Zhibei was tall and thin compared to other children of the same age, the baby fat on his face made him look particularly tender and cute.
His smooth black hair draped over his chest made his face look even fairer. His beautifully shaped ears were pink in color, and he didn't look like a child from an ordinary family in ancient times at all.
No matter how you look at it, he looks like a descendant of a noble family who has been stranded abroad.
Yan Chuxue jumped down and stood on a branch below to observe Feng Zhibei.
Feng Zhibei was thinking about his next course of action when he saw something falling in front of him, tickling his nose and causing him to sneeze.
He pinched it accurately with his hand and found it was a strand of fluff.
"Where did this come from... Is there a bird's nest in the tree?"
Feng Zhibei rubbed his red nose and raised his head.
Yan Chuxue immediately jumped onto another distant branch, feeling a little uncomfortable.
This was my first time making a bird, and I didn’t know birds shed so much feathers.
The author has something to say:
Thank you everyone (bow)
