Chapter 211
The next morning, Yitu knocked on Zhuoqi's door.
The person who opened the door for him was a middle-aged woman with a slightly haggard face, an oval face, almond eyes and a cherry mouth. She was indeed pretty.
Seeing her nephew coming, Fang Min was in no mood to talk. She frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I came to see my second uncle."
After saying that, Yi Tu walked around Fang Min and went inside on his own.
Fang Min was stunned for a moment, and followed subconsciously. However, she was stopped by Zhuo Yong just as she arrived at Zhuo Qi's door.
"Aunt, I need to talk to my second uncle alone. You just wait outside."
Yitu was polite on the surface, but in fact he had already closed the door when he said this.
Ignoring Fang Min's dissatisfied shouts outside the door: "Is there anything I can't listen to? You are becoming more and more unruly!"
Yitu pulled a chair over and sat at the head of Zhuoqi's bed. Looking at the sickly, emaciated man lying on the bed, he cleared his throat and said,
"What's going on? Tell me."
The man raised his eyelids, but he couldn't even turn his head.
Zhuo Qi, the Hua Umbrella who had taken over the identity, spoke:
"I have no idea."
"After finishing the multiple-choice questions, I just lay here, unable to move."
Hearing this, Yitu couldn't help but frown. Before he could say anything, he heard Huasan's voice say in a heavy voice:
"Yitu, our current physical condition is most likely related to the game."
Before entering the mermaid's dream, Huashan's body had been severely injured, so after entering the dream, he could not walk like a normal person.
"However, if we die in any dimension, it will most likely result in the failure of the game."
Huasan's eyelids drooped again, and he looked very tired:
"Do you understand me?"
"I understand." Yitu responded.
"Ye Zhiwen, who was replaced by Xu Heng, is the protagonist of this story. I am useless now and can't help much."
Huasan said this to this extent, how could Yitu not understand what he meant.
"Well, I'm here, don't worry."
After leaving Zhuo Qi's house, Yi Tu wanted to contact Xu Heng as soon as possible, but met Han Yun on the way.
The man wanted to take Yi Tu to his home for dinner. Unable to refuse the kind invitation, Yi Tu had no choice but to follow Han Yun.
When he arrived at Han Yun's house, Yitu met Han Yun's two daughters.
The eldest daughter, Han Xiao, was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket and looked very cute. When she saw Yi Tu, she smiled sweetly and called him "Brother Dayong".
Yitu nodded subconsciously, but felt an indescribable sense of confusion in his heart.
When he thought about how these few people who were standing in front of him would soon turn into monsters that were neither human nor ghost, his complicated emotions surged even more violently.
Han Yun's youngest daughter is only seven years old. She is so tiny and is at the age where she is curious about everything.
She liked Yitu very much and chattered non-stop like a little bird.
Yi Tu responded casually with a few words, thinking about how to get more information from Han Yun.
Who knew that Han Yun invited him to dinner at home not to continue talking about the topic from last night.
Instead, he called Han Xiao to the table. She sat on Yi Tu's right and suddenly changed the topic to the two of them.
A trace of surprise flashed across Yi Tu's eyes, and then he realized that Han Yun had taken a fancy to him and was looking for a son-in-law.
Han Xiao is just seventeen years old this year, the age when she is as innocent as a flower and is just beginning to fall in love.
In the village, pretty girls of this age have already had people come to propose marriage to them.
Han Xiao is one of those girls with outstanding appearance, but Han Yun has high standards. He is reluctant to marry her if she is from another village, and he doesn't think highly of girls from his own village.
There is only this kid Zhuo Yong, who is tall and big and comes from a well-off family.
Even if the fishing village declined, it had basically no impact on Zhuo Yong's family.
Because Zhuo Yong's parents were doing business outside, they didn't care about the money they earned from selling fish in the fishing village at all.
So this is why, even though everyone in the village was barely able to make ends meet, Han Yun still kindly invited him to dinner and treated him to delicious food and wine.
In fact, at the beginning, the person Han Yun liked was not Zhuo Yong, but Ye Zhiwen, whom Han Xiao also liked.
Unlike Zhuo Yong who is carefree, Ye Zhiwen has a mother, Fang Qin, who is competitive in everything, so he has been a good student since childhood.
Not only that, this kid is also the first top student to come out of the village.
Zhuo Yong was born not fond of studying and stopped studying after high school.
Ye Zhiwen has a clean appearance, just like his mediocre father. Every time he sees Han Xiao, he can recite a few lines of poetry with a smile.
Han Xiao's face often turned red because of her teasing, and the little girl gradually began to have inappropriate thoughts.
If nothing had happened in the fishing village, Han Yun would have planned to propose marriage according to his daughter's wishes.
But unfortunately, this strange thing happened. Once Zhuo Qi was paralyzed, Fang Min became a puppet without a backbone, and their business collapsed and went bankrupt.
The Ye family, who relied on their brother-in-law's family for their livelihood, was suffering terribly.
Ye Zhiwen's mother Fang Qin went to her sister Fang Min's house several times. She didn't talk about anything else, but just wanted Fang Min to beg her brother.
That is Zhuo Yong’s father, Zhuo Gang.
Zhuo Gang is a serious businessman. Although he also takes care of his younger brother Zhuo Qi, Zhuo Qi is now completely paralyzed and all major hospitals are unable to treat him, so he no longer worries about him.
He just left some money, gave Zhuo Yong a few words of advice, and went back to work.
Now Fang Min is unable to take care of herself, so how can she care about her sister's family who are like a burden to her?
Even if Ye Zhiwen was a well-educated and top student, he would not be able to turn the situation around without a penny.
So, Han Yun gave up the idea of marrying his daughter to Ye Zhiwen and letting him suffer, and instead fell in love with Zhuo Yong.
Yi Tu didn't know what Zhuo Yong was thinking. He only knew that Han Xiao didn't seem to be as resistant as he imagined.
Although the little girl showed a hint of unnaturalness and embarrassment on her face under Yi Tu's direct gaze.
But when faced with her father Han Yun's matchmaking, she remained silent throughout, neither opposing nor agreeing.
But in Yitu's eyes, in a sense, her attitude is actually a kind of acquiescence.
Faced with Han Yun's repeated attempts to match them up, Yi Tu hadn't even thought of what to say when a familiar multiple-choice panel popped up in front of him.
Your neighbor Han Yun wants to introduce you to a matchmaker for his eldest daughter, Han Xiao. Feeling quite moved, you decide:
A. I also have feelings for Han Xiao and decided to tell her the truth, but I still need to ask my parents for their consent before getting engaged.
B. He also has feelings for Han Xiao, but considering that she is the girl his cousin Ye Zhiwen likes, he cannot steal her away, so he decides to be honest and reject her.
[Friendly reminder: This is a non-dangerous plot-based multiple-choice question. The player's choice will affect the direction of part of the plot and may even lead to the death of all players. Please choose carefully!]
After reading the picture in the title, I frowned subconsciously.
Even without the game prompts, he knew clearly that although the choice of this question seemed to be related to Zhuo Yong, in fact, the only one who was really implicated was the protagonist Ye Zhiwen.
Zhuo Yong was just an outsider from beginning to end, and Han Xiao who appeared here was also a supporting role in the plot.
However, with these two options, it is difficult for players to infer what will happen next.
Especially from the essence of the facts, the final outcome of everyone in this village is death, including Zhuo Yong and Han Xiao.
The problem at this moment is that the three of them have inexplicably replaced their identities, but they cannot die in the past like the people in the past.
The time given for the multiple-choice questions was not much, and two minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Yitu didn't know what really happened in history, so he could only guess as best he could.
In the end, he chose option B.
Although option A is more in line with Zhuo Yong's style, especially with Han Xiao's consent, Zhuo Yong's parents will most likely not object.
Since my son has not achieved academic success, it would be better for him to get married and have children as soon as possible so that he can focus on his family and career.
In this way, the marriage is a done deal.
Yi Tu doesn’t know what Ye Zhiwen will do after being affected, but the direction of the plot is obvious.
Yitu told Han Yun his thoughts and said that he did not want to be a bad person.
Although he also liked Han Xiao, he knew that Xiao Xiao and her cousin Ye Zhiwen were in love with each other, so he couldn't agree to this marriage, and he really couldn't agree to it.
After hearing these words, Han Yun was stunned on the spot, and Han Xiao was even more embarrassed and annoyed. She couldn't sit still at all and ran out with a red face.
Seeing this, Han Yun didn't know what to say, but just forced himself to explain that there was nothing between Xiao Xiao and Zhiwen.
Yitu refused to listen and was too lazy to waste more time with him, so he waved his hand and walked away.
Ten minutes later, he stood at the door of Ye Zhiwen's house.
The yard in front of them looked more lively than what they had seen at first, and there were a few withered roses planted in the corner of the east wall.
Due to the owner's annoyance and neglect, it has wilted and is about to die.
Without money, the family could barely make ends meet. Fang Qin was in no mood to take care of the flowers and plants, and Ye Zhiwen would not pay attention to these details.
Fang Qin's husband died of illness three years ago, and only mother and son lived in the huge yard.
When Yi Tu arrived, Ye Zhiwen happened to be at home, and standing in front of him was Fang Qin, who was short but very imposing.
Fang Qin was talking to Ye Zhiwen, the former's voice became louder and louder, while the latter seemed a little absent-minded.
Yi Tu felt that he had come at the wrong time, because Fang Qin's scolding was so loud that he could hear it even at the door, and he couldn't take another step forward.
"You're either staying at home all day or running to Han Yun's house. I haven't seen any results from running until now!"
"How many times have I told you to come visit your aunt when you have time? I don't ask you to do anything for me, but at least you can make a good impression on your aunt."
"Even though their business has fallen behind, as long as someone is willing to take it over, it can be revived at any time, right? You are so good!"
"After graduating from a prestigious university, I've accomplished nothing, yet I've completely mastered the arrogance of top students!"
Fang Qin felt more and more uncomfortable as she spoke. She sighed, "Son, I'm old, and your father has been gone for three years. When will you let me rest in peace..."
"You know the situation in the village. I'm afraid there's some dirty tricks taking over. Every family is having a hard time. If you could go to town with your aunt to make money, Mom would be relieved."
Fang Qin advised with a sincere heart, "Don't be fooled by Han Xiao's cute appearance. To be honest... there's no way she'll marry you!"
This sentence seemed to have touched Ye Zhiwen's sore spot, and the tall and thin man finally responded:
"Impossible. Xiao Xiao is also interested in me. It's only a matter of time before we become friends."
Fang Qin couldn't help but sneer when she heard this.
"Innocent!"
"I don't understand Han Xiao's personality, but don't I understand who her father is?!"
Fang Qin poked Ye Zhiwen's chest fiercely with her finger and shouted in a tone of disapproval:
"Wake up! Who would want to marry the daughter they raised with great difficulty to a poor boy who has nothing?!"
"Your uncle Han told me the day before yesterday that he wanted to marry his eldest daughter to Zhuo Yong. You...you! Sigh!"
Looking at Ye Zhiwen's incredulous and stiff expression, Fang Qin couldn't continue speaking and turned to go into the house.
After listening to Yi Tu in the corner for a long time, he stomped his feet and walked in.
Ye Zhiwen, who replaced Xu Heng, heard the noise and looked over.
"Did you hear that?"
Yitu nodded, "More or less."
Xu Heng sighed, "Tell me... why is the plot of this game getting more and more confusing as it goes on?"
Compared to the direct and crude first password point, the second password point lays out too many unnecessary plots.
So up to now in the game, they still have no clue, let alone where the death code hidden in it is.
"Don't worry, the turning point will come soon." Yi Tu said lightly.
Xu Heng nodded, feeling an invisible pressure.
"You are the only two protagonists in this story, so any choice you make is important."
Yitu said, "Huashan and I can't help much this time. Ah Heng, I'm counting on you."
Xu Heng gave a bitter smile, feeling uncertain:
"I'll try my best."
Seeing this, Yitu patted his shoulder and said seriously:
"I trust you as I trust myself."
Xu Heng was stunned and asked subconsciously:
"Am I worth it?"
Yitu looked into his eyes and spoke clearly:
"Of course it's worth it."
Xu Heng's heart suddenly warmed up, and his nose felt a little sore.
It is such an honor to have someone willing to rely on me when I am unable to make a firm choice for myself.
Just when Xu Heng didn't know what to say, he heard Yi Tu sigh.
"To be honest, I miss Hanyu."
"We all have to go back safely, someone is waiting for us."
Xu Heng was stunned for a moment, and Ou Cheng's face flashed through his mind uncontrollably. He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
But no one was waiting for me.
This sudden, suppressed emotion only lasted for three or four seconds before being quickly replaced by something deeper.
Who said no one was waiting for him? Ou Cheng was clearly there, waiting anxiously alongside the Night King who had killed him.
