Chapter 10
Why is the plot progressing so slowly? Yitu couldn't help but frown.
You should know that the house number they leave from will only be refreshed when the card game plot reaches more than 80%.
Although as long as one player advances the plot, the plot advancement of other players will also increase, their combined plot advancement currently only adds up to 13%.
Compared with the last time, it only increased by 2%.
Without any information about the village festival, Yitu and his companions would certainly not leave easily.
Fu Xue was the first to step forward and asked softly:
"Uncle Liu, can you tell us how tomorrow's village festival will be held?"
"This is our first time here and we don't understand your customs. We're afraid of offending everyone."
Stonemason Liu glanced at her and said evasively, "Everyone in the village will go to the village festival tomorrow, and you should go too."
Fu Xue was a little disappointed when she heard his words. Liu the stonemason's answer was almost nonsense. They must go to the village sacrifice tomorrow.
Because the mandatory task of the card field is to make all players participate in the village festival.
Unable to get any useful information, Fu Xue didn't want to speak anymore. The NPC lines in the card room were fixed, so it was useless to ask.
She stopped talking, but Yitu continued to ask:
"Will you go to the village festival?"
When he asked this question, everyone else was stunned.
After a moment of silence, Liu the Stonemason seemed to be lost in some bad memories, his expression slightly painful.
"No, I'm not going."
Yitu seemed not to notice and asked again:
"Is your son going?"
Fu Xue looked at him in surprise. What on earth did this guy want to ask?
When mentioning Liu Shijiang's son, Liu Shijiang's expression became even more painful.
His hands began to hammer uncontrollably, and after thinking for a long time, he managed to squeeze out a few words from his throat:
"No, he's not going either."
But the questioning that made him collapse did not end there. Yitu asked again:
"Then why don't you go? Doesn't everyone in the village go to the village festival?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu the stonemason suddenly turned around and hit the wall with his head. There was a loud bang, and blood flowed down the white wall to the ground.
"Don't ask anymore," Huang Tianfang said, a little scared, and couldn't help asking, "Is he crazy?"
It was the first time she saw a player driving an NPC crazy, especially since Liu the Stonemason didn't look normal at all.
Yi Tu was also a little unsure, but decided to listen to Huang Tianfang's opinion.
So he took a big step back obediently to prevent Liu the Stonemason from really rushing up and attacking him.
Others: “…” They also stepped back a little.
Just as everyone was retreating to a safe distance, Liu the Stonemason suddenly turned around and shouted loudly with a distorted expression:
"Because he's dead! He died a long time ago!"
"I won't go to the village festival, I won't go to the village festival. I can't die yet. I want to stay and build a tombstone. I want to stay and build a tombstone..."
Yitu was frightened by him, and at this moment Liu the Stonemason was completely abnormal.
He was in a daze, repeating those words over and over again, his face full of fear of the village festival.
Stonemason Liu walked into the house on his own, picked up the hammer and hit the chisel again and again with stiff movements, as if the players did not exist at all.
"It turns out that Liu the stonemason's son is already dead." Yitu thought thoughtfully.
And his death was definitely not a natural death, otherwise Liu the stonemason would not be so excited and painful.
Zhang Queshan couldn't help but frown, "What does his death have to do with the village sacrifice?"
Zhao Haichuan shook his head. "We can't see it yet. Let's go back first. It's getting dark."
The answers to these mysteries will naturally be revealed on the day of the village festival.
He was worried that the injured Duan Zixi would get out of bed and walk around casually, and it was already dinner time, so it would be better for him to go back early.
Yitu glanced at Liu, the stonemason in the house who only knew how to carve the stone tablet. Before the stone tablet was completed, there would probably be no other clues, so it would be better to go back first.
On the way back, Lin Fei's body, which was placed next to the chicken coop, disappeared out of thin air.
I don’t know if he was dragged away by something or if the card room automatically cleared out the dead bodies.
In order to ensure that the game can proceed normally, many card rooms will automatically clean up the players' bodies, and this time should be no exception.
No one thought much about it, and the six of them returned to the village chief's house before dark. The village chief was already waiting for them in the living room, and the table was full of hot meals.
"You're back? Come and have dinner," the village chief said with a smile. "Have a good sleep after dinner so you'll have enough energy to participate in the village festival the next day."
"Village chief, what do we need to do for tomorrow's village festival?" Fu Xue took the opportunity to ask.
"You'll know when the time comes." The village chief smiled. "Don't worry, I'll give you the money. Don't worry."
He really thought that these players were fools who would risk their lives for money.
In fact, no one present took the 30,000 yuan seriously, and Fu Xue even curled her lips and sat down.
Yitu glanced at the table. Dinner was still a big meal of fish and meat, accompanied by a few stir-fried dishes, which was delicious and fragrant.
In front of him was a plate of spicy braised chicken, with the chicken head still inside.
Yitu hesitated for a moment as he held the chopsticks. There were no live poultry in the village, so where did the fish and meat come from?
He stared at the plate of chicken for a few seconds. The others soon noticed something, but remained calm on the surface.
Zhao Haichuan quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice, picked some vegetarian dishes, and stood up to deliver them to Duan Zixi upstairs.
Huang Tianfang was a little surprised: "You don't want to eat anymore?"
"I'm not very hungry. I'll give some to Zixi first. He must be hungry."
Zhao Haichuan hurried upstairs after he finished speaking. Huang Tianfang instantly envied him: "It's great to have a partner."
Hearing her words, Fu Xue suddenly sneered for no apparent reason, as if mocking her for having no self-awareness.
This made Huang Tianfang feel a little embarrassed. She wanted to turn around and leave, but that seemed too petty, so she forced herself to endure it.
Yitu and Zhang Queshan looked at each other silently, not daring to say anything. It was better not to get involved in the contest between women.
At this time, the player ranking was refreshed again, and his votes increased by five, but this was still too few, and his ranking did not change.
This was far from what he expected.
Yi Tu glanced at it calmly, put the cards away, and then looked towards the gate of the yard.
The village chief was sitting there holding a wooden stick, his eyes fixed on the players in the living room, as if preventing them from escaping.
Yitu put down his chopsticks, stood up and took two steps towards the door, but did not leave the hall.
"What are you doing?" Fu Xue frowned.
Yitu didn't respond to her. He asked the village chief in a calm tone:
"Village chief, do you know where Liu the stonemason's son is?"
When the village chief heard Yi Tu's words, his expression was slightly stunned and his face immediately darkened.
If there wasn't some distance between Yi Tu and the village chief, and if there weren't other people sitting in the living room, he always felt that the village chief would rush up and kill him.
"Village chief, where is Liu the stonemason's son?" Yi Tu asked again without changing his expression.
The village chief was silent for a moment, but still answered the question:
"That unfilial Liu Cheng left Mengjia Village at the age of eighteen to do business in a big city. I heard he opened a factory there and became a small boss. He's very rich."
"But people tend to forget their roots once they have money. He came back once thirteen years ago, gave some money and left, and he never came back again."
When Yitu heard this, his heart moved slightly.
Thirteen years ago again.
Thirteen years ago, the village chief's son was bitten by a mandrill. Coincidentally, Liu Cheng, the son of Liu the stonemason, returned to Mengjia Village that year, and the boat capsized incident also occurred in that year.
If we have to put these events in order, the truth will soon come to light.
"Liu the stonemason is also very angry. You'd better not mention Liu Cheng in front of him." The village chief reminded at the end.
Yitu nodded in understanding, sat back at the table, picked up his chopsticks and started eating slowly.
[Judith: The storyline has progressed 18% and the house number status has not been updated. Please keep up the good work!]
It seems that the personal information about Liu Shijiang's son is also part of the plot of the card field.
Yitu already had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't know whether they were accurate.
As soon as he looked up to pick up the food, he found Fu Xue opposite him staring at him.
Their eyes met, and the woman smiled slightly:
"Why don't you continue asking? We still don't know where the village chief's son has gone."
After answering the question, the village chief turned around and walked out of the yard gate. She didn't know what he was going to do at night, so she didn't have the chance to ask again.
Yitu told the truth: "I dare not ask. I am afraid that he will go crazy like Liu the stonemason. What if he hits me?"
"You'll take the beating for me?"
Fu Xue: “…”
She was so angry at this guy that she laughed. Just as she was about to say something else, Zhao Haichuan came down from the stairs.
He sensitively noticed that the atmosphere in the living room was not right and said with a smile:
"What are you discussing?"
Fu Xue shook her head and changed the subject without leaving a trace: "Nothing, I just think this plate of chicken looks a bit disgusting."
"Indeed." Zhao Haichuan pulled out a chair and sat down.
"I'm stuffed."
Fu Xue put down her chopsticks and was not in a hurry to leave. She wanted to wait for her partner Aniu to come together.
Ah Niu, who had been eating with his head down, looked a little strange.
Yitu was sitting diagonally opposite him. He glanced up while picking up some food and saw that Aniu's right hand, which was holding the chopsticks, was trembling slightly.
His face turned grayish green, as if something was pressing on him, making him unable to resist.
Yitu couldn't help but frown, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.
At first, this change was not obvious. Everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts and did not pay attention to what was happening on Aniu's side.
Until his whole body began to twitch violently in his seat, causing the entire table to shake.
Everyone's face changed, and Fu Xue hurriedly supported Aniu's shaking body.
"Aniu, what's wrong with you?"
What on earth had happened? Fu Xue was panic-stricken and at a loss. She had no time to think about what went wrong during the day, and then strange things happened.
Under everyone's gaze, the back of Aniu's head suddenly became dented.
It was as if someone was holding an invisible and intangible hammer and hitting Aniu on the head again and again.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Aniu's head was pressed on the wooden dining table, and an invisible hammer brutally smashed his head again and again.
Everyone was so shocked by the scene that they couldn't move. They could only watch as Aniu's head was smashed like a watermelon, with blood splattered everywhere and white brain matter flowing all over the table.
Ah Niu did not make any screams, and the only sound during the whole process was the strange and dull "bang bang" sound.
The living room was eerily quiet.
