Chapter 51 Young Master, I will hold you tightly!
Jian Yue looked at Wen Yu. He had been listening quietly at first, but when he heard Wen Yu's words, he suddenly raised his eyelids and looked over. His gaze startled Wen Yu, and she felt like she was being stared at by a cold and piercing beast, and she had been sentenced to death.
"Captain Wen, do you think that the reason you are not valued by Mr. Shen and everything goes wrong for you is because of me?" Jian Yue asked her.
Wen Yu stopped talking.
Yes, that's exactly what she thought.
Otherwise, why did she run into obstacles in this mission? !
Jian Yue sneered and said, "The reason for your failure is that you can't learn to respect others. You failed because no matter how well you hide it, you are still arrogant and rude in your bones. You failed to complete the heroine's story. It has nothing to do with gender or identity. It's just because you are high and mighty. An insincere heart will never be exchanged for a sincere heart."
His words came down like a heavy punch, almost shattering Wen Yu's calm exterior.
All along.
Wen Yu was used to deceiving people. She believed that her acting skills were invincible, especially since this was just a simple novice village. What was so difficult about a novice village? It was easy to deceive these newcomers, but she didn't expect that she would run into obstacles again and again.
Wen Yu forced a smile and said sarcastically, "Butler Wang, do you think there will be any sincerity in the dungeon? The NPCs are all ghosts who want to kill you. If they knew that you would leave sooner or later, do you think they would try every means to keep you? Even your teammates can abandon you at any time to save their lives. At that time, will you still think that sincerity is important?"
She felt that Jian Yue would be scared after hearing such words.
After all, he is a newcomer with little experience and doesn’t know how powerful he is.
But Jian Yue just looked at her calmly and said, "So?"
"If something turns out to be fake in the end, at least I once had the real thing." Jian Yue said, "And you, from beginning to end, never had it."
Wen Yu was a little defensive.
She didn't expect that Butler Wang was not only indifferent to everything, but was only interested in everything!
Jian Yue was too lazy to talk to her any more. He said, "Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you. When I was in the ancestral hall just now, I exchanged glasses for props in the mall. I can see that if the players around me use cards, there will be a display. Just now in the ancestral hall, when you were around, the props reacted."
After these words were spoken, Wen Yu's face turned pale.
She was a little incredulous and asked, "Why did you do this?"
Jian Yue said calmly: "The ancestral hall is dangerous, is there anything wrong with me exchanging some self-defense items?"
Wen Yu's heart was in turmoil.
Then I heard Jian Yue say, "Did you use the same method on Li Guang and Wang Kun? Because one of them has a sister and the other has a girlfriend, you took advantage of their psychological weaknesses and used cards to induce them to do wrong things. From beginning to end, it was their own decision, and their death would only be considered suicide. And you had already tampered with the bronze ware in advance, so you could transfer the curse to them, right?"
Wen Yu retorted: "You have no evidence."
"Really?" Jian Yue said, "Although your method is indeed very clever, you must remember that there is no impenetrable wall in this world. Murder..."
He didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.
The setting sun shone on the shoulders of the two people. The leaves around the ancestral hall swayed in the wind, rustling like some kind of whimpering sound, and a fishy smell seemed to be emanating from the soil.
Jian Yue said: "Sooner or later, someone will kill me."
Wen Yu felt an inexplicable chill.
Jian Yue walked past her and went out. After all, it was getting dark. He originally thought that he should go back early so as not to worry Shen Yushu. However, he didn't expect that he saw Shen Yushu's familiar figure on a small path not far away before he had walked far.
He stood there for who knows how long.
Jian Yue's heart suddenly skipped a beat. When did the young master come? Did he hear the conversation between him and Wen Yu?
Is this possible to hear?
Jian Yue's eyes fell on Shen Yushu from a distance. The man was standing under a tree, his shadow stretched very long. His cold profile was like a sharp blade, and the shadows of the trees in the forest seemed like a whirlpool, and he was in the middle of it.
Countless thoughts surged in his mind. Jian Yue walked in front of Shen Yushu and said hesitantly, "Master? Why are you here? When did you come? Why didn't you call me?"
Shen Yushu raised his eyes to look at him. Jian Yue felt nervous, and then he saw Shen Yushu snorted in a noble and cold manner, "Others have already left, but you are still dragging behind and refusing to leave. Aren't you just waiting for me to pick you up? When I asked you in the afternoon, you said you could. You said no with your mouth, but your body is very honest!"
Jian Yue: “…”
He is innocent!!
But does the young master's words mean that he did not hear the conversation between him and Wen Yu?
Jian Yue breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he really didn't want to involve Shen Yushu in this matter. After all, this was something that needed to be resolved between them as players, and Shen Yushu had already helped him a lot. There were some things that he had to handle on his own.
"Because I'm the village party secretary!" Jian Yue smiled and said, "The village party secretary has to stay to check the venue. You are here to pick me up, right? Now we can go back, Master."
Shen Yushu asked, "Did you watch their wedding?"
Jian Yue said: "I've finished watching it. I didn't expect Wanfu Village to have such a ceremonial feel."
Normal people would worship their parents and heaven and earth when they get married, but in Wanfu Village, people had to worship the mountain god and a bunch of dead people in the village when they got married, which surprised him a little.
Shen Yushu said: "You don't have to be too envious, you will have this kind of blessing in the future."
Jian Yue: "...Thank you, Master."
The two of them walked back while chatting. When they arrived at the house, they saw Tiantian and Li Meng standing in the corridor nearby. Jian Yue guessed that they had something to talk to him about.
Jian Yue said, "Master, it should be someone from the archaeological team who is looking for me. Brother Dao may be a little busy today, so I will handle it for him."
Shen Yushu nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Jian Yue walked over.
It was getting darker at night, and they arrived at the small study room for meetings. As soon as Tiantian entered, she said, "Housekeeper Wang, we went to the mountain this afternoon to have a look. We didn't find the mountain temple, but we did find some very old murals, all carved on stone. They were originally covered by vines, and it was Li Meng who discovered them with her carefulness."
Li Meng said: "It's not my credit. That place used to be a hillside. It rained heavily in the past two days, and the soil loosened and collapsed, exposing some huge rocks underneath."
Jian Yue said: "What mural is this? Let me see it."
Li Meng handed the pictures in the camera to Jian Yue.
Jian Yue took a look and found that it was indeed very similar to the murals in the altar, so he said, "Send these photos to me and I'll take a look later. You can look for the matter of the mountain temple, but be careful and don't go up the mountain if it rains."
Li Meng said: "It doesn't matter, as long as I can help. After all, if I can't find something to do, it will be more uncomfortable to be idle."
Jian Yue knew how she felt. She had lost her loved ones but was unable to do anything for them. The feeling of just sitting there and waiting to die was suffocating. That was why he assigned the task to the two of them.
Sometimes, people need a little spiritual sustenance.
No matter what, as long as you have something to do, you have a reason to live.
"Then you should pay more attention to yourselves. If there is anything, please discuss it with me as soon as possible." Jian Yue stood up and said, "I'm leaving first. You two can move in together to sleep at night so that you can take care of each other."
Tiantian said: "We know that we will move tonight. By the way, Butler Wang..."
Jian Yue looked back and asked, "What's the matter?"
"So... do you live with Mr. Shen?" Tiantian said weakly, "Because when we wanted to talk to you last night, we found that you were not in your room."
Jian Yue put his index finger on his lips and smiled silently at the two of them. He made a gesture to keep quiet before leaving.
Tiantian and Li Meng looked at each other.
Depend on! !
I ate a big melon!!!
Jian Yue did not go back to the study directly. He went back to his room first. The time of the bronze curse was about to expire. He wanted to verify something, so he sat back in the chair. He opened the panel and saw that it showed that he had 1 hour left to survive.
He didn't get stuck this time.
Jian Yue used the knife to cut his finger again until bright red blood dripped onto the mirror, but there was no movement on the mirror.
The system panel is not refreshed either.
This proves that the same bronze artifact can only trigger the curse once.
The audience in the live broadcast room panicked:
"What the hell?!"
"how so?"
"Then aren't you going to be in trouble, host?"
"How can you sit still for only an hour?"
Jian Yue said thoughtfully: "Is it really so?"
He was still so calm. The audience was even more anxious than he was. The number of people in the live broadcast room had begun to decline, but after discovering this, the number of people online continued to grow:
"A bronze item can only be triggered once."
"The one in the mountain temple has also been used."
"Scarface and his guys have run out of them too."
"No wonder those two wanted to kill people. Now they are completely doomed!"
Jian Yue sat in the room without any hurry. He glanced at the sky outside, waited for a while, then walked out of the door. Walking along the path forward, he reached the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Widow Li was packing up her last things and preparing to go back.
Jian Yue said, "Aunt Li, you're busy. Why didn't you go out to attend Brother Daniu's wedding today?"
Widow Li looked like she was in a bad mood, especially after hearing Jian Yue's voice, she glared at him and said, "Can't you see I'm busy? If you have nothing to do, get out of here!"
Jian Yue smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Aunt Li? I just came here to ask. After all, I only saw the village chief, his wife, and Wang Gua in front of the ancestral hall today..."
He hadn't said a word yet.
Aunt Li asked excitedly, "What? Who else do you think there is?"
Jian Yue said: "And those people from Li Goudan's family, I was a little surprised not to see you!"
"Okay, the village chief is such a bastard. I was wondering why he was avoiding me these past few days. Turns out he was hooking up with someone else!" Aunt Li cursed, "I'll skin him alive tomorrow!"
Jian Yue advised: "After all, the village chief is the head of the village, Aunt Li, you should take it easy."
Aunt Li said, "Bah, not a single man is good. When he liked me, he called me Little Sweetie, but now he calls me Madam Li!! I will never let him go! Not a single man is good!"
Jian Yue: “…”
Aunt Li looked at him, smiled awkwardly and said, "Butler Wang, I forgot that you are also a man. You can only find women in the future."
Jian Yue smiled and said, "No, actually I have a partner, and my partner is also a man."
Aunt Li looked as if she couldn't bear the thought of eating this melon. She was just heartbroken, but she didn't expect that Butler Wang was waiting for her here and was showing affection to her. This was something that only her uncle could tolerate, but her aunt couldn't!!!
So Aunt Li scolded angrily: "Butler Wang, you really can't tell the priorities when it comes to love. So what if you have a partner? You can only talk about it after you can leave the village alive!!"
After scolding.
Aunt Li was somewhat complacent, thinking to herself, now that she knew she didn't have many days left to live, Butler Wang must be in despair, right?
However, under her gaze, a smile slowly appeared on Jian Yue's face.
Just as Aunt Li finished speaking.
The system panel is refreshed: "
Trigger the limited-time mission [Aunt Li's Curse]
Curse details: The player will not survive the duration of the Mountain God Festival.
Mission countdown: three days. "
This curse was followed by the bronze curse which had a ten-minute countdown. Aunt Li’s curse extended Jian Yue’s life by three days in a row, until the Mountain God Festival!!!
I 3 Stream 3 Du 3 Jia 3
The audience in the live broadcast room were also stunned:
“Oh my god!”
"Hahahaha fuck is this even okay?"
"Using a ghost's curse to counter another ghost's curse?"
"Butler Wang: Oh, what's the matter?"
“I’m impressed by the anchor!”
"This is a complete guide to the Wanfu Village!"
"Mom doesn't have to worry about me not being able to go to Wanfu Village anymore!"
The popularity of the live broadcast room had dropped by a thousand people an hour ago, but it suddenly increased because of Jian Yue's operations.
System: "There are currently 15,843 people online in the live broadcast room, 9,870 people have voted for you, and the live broadcast room has received 7,098 points in rewards. The popularity value ranks 85th in the overall list. Please keep up the good work."
The overall ranking of the live broadcast room is already a ranking of all anchors in the entire nightmare system. If a newcomer can enter the overall ranking and keep moving forward, it is enough to attract the attention of major anchors and unions.
Jian Yue knew nothing about this.
He went back to Shen Yushu's study and asked, "Master, do you still have so much work to do today?"
Shen Yushu shook his head and said, "Today's official business has almost been handled during the day. I will accompany you to wash up and rest."
I didn't expect that the hardworking young master would also take the initiative to ask for a rest.
Am I too tired during this period?
Jian Yue came over and massaged his shoulders and said, "If you are too tired recently, you can take a proper rest. After all, nothing is more important than your health."
Shen Yushu said, "There are still many things in the company that cannot be done without people, but I have almost finished dealing with some urgent matters recently. I can accompany you to have a good walk around the village in a couple of days."
Jian Yue was somewhat happy: "Really?"
He was happy because the Mountain God Festival was coming soon, and he didn't have the confidence that he could make it. If, he meant if he couldn't, it would be good to spend two more days with Shen Yushu. He didn't have many relatives, and now he finally met one. Even if it was his last joy, it was precious.
Shen Yushu nodded and said, "Yes."
One of Jian Yue's hands hung on Shen Yushu's shoulder. He picked it up and stroked his fingertips. That was the wound Jian Yue had cut himself in the afternoon when he was testing the bronze ware. Because time was tight at that time, he simply stopped the bleeding and went out. Now the wound on the fingertips looked particularly clear on the white fingers and looked a little scary.
Jian Yue said: "Master, I scratched it accidentally..."
Shen Yushu snorted and said, "You know I'll be worried, but you still don't pay attention to yourself. How can you live without me by your side?"
Jian Yue choked for a moment, but when he lowered his head, he saw Shen Yushu looking at his scars with a slight frown, and his brows never relaxed. Although he said words of condemnation, the pain in his eyes was like overflowing water that would overflow in the next second.
Suddenly.
Jian Yue's heart softened, and he said, "Actually, I don't feel any pain at all."
"Are you a ghost? Don't you feel pain?" Shen Yushu glared at him.
Jian Yue laughed and said, "Master, don't you believe in science and be an atheist? If I become a ghost, I will definitely cling to you. Will you be scared then?"
Shen Yushu's momentum instantly became fierce again. He glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't I tell you not to mention this word?"
Jian Yue didn't expect that every time he mentioned this, Shen Yushu would react so strongly. He was originally half joking, but seeing how serious Shen Yushu was, he said honestly, "Okay, then I won't say it anymore in the future."
Originally, he just wanted to give Shen Yushu some psychological protection.
But now I think about it, forget it.
He couldn't bear to see Shen Yushu sad, not even for a moment.
…
Day 2
It was another rare sunny day. When Jian Yue opened his eyes, he found that Shen Yushu was not by his side. In the past, even if Shen Yushu got up early, he would stay in the bedroom, either processing official documents or reading a book, but today he was not there.
Is there something urgent you need to deal with?
Jian Yue sat up from the bed and subconsciously picked up the water on the table next to him. The water in this cup was always warm in the past, but today it tasted a little cool.
Shen Yushu was not here, and he felt uncomfortable.
Habit is a terrible thing. Before Shen Yushu was around, he could do anything on his own, but now he feels stunned by a glass of cold water.
It is indeed difficult to go from luxury to frugality!!
Jian Yue sighed, sat up, and went to wash up. When he left the room, he saw Shen Yushu walking in the corridor. Shen Yushu must have come back from outside, and his clothes were neatly dressed.
"Young Master?" Jian Yue asked.
Shen Yushu said: "Well, I have arranged everything in the house today. I will accompany you to walk around the village."
Jian Yue didn't expect that Mr. Shen was really a man of action. He really did what he said!
It just so happened that he had recently wanted to find some information about the former mountain god, so Jian Yue smiled and said, "Okay."
When he approached Shen Yushu, he froze for a moment. Shen Yushu saw him staring at her in a daze, so he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jian Yue hesitated, but still quickly shook his head and said, "Nothing."
It was just because at a certain moment, he smelled a smell on Shen Yushu's body. It was not the unpleasant smell of corpse oil lamps, but the smell of ancestral halls and bronze ware. It was a decayed, old smell with a sense of age, but the smell was almost fleeting. It dissipated in just a moment after he caught it. When he looked again, everything was back to normal.
What's going on?
Is it his illusion?
Jian Yue walked beside Shen Yushu, but his heart gradually became heavy. He thought of the nameplate with Shen Yushu's name engraved on it in the mountain temple. He had never found a good way to deal with it because he always had a fluke in his heart, thinking that Shen Yushu was the male protagonist, even ghosts were afraid of him, and this world should not really let the male protagonist get into trouble.
Jian Yue would not easily believe what Wen Yu and the others said. After all, the intentions of those two people were unclear, and he would fall into the trap if he believed them rashly.
But now...
Jian Yue suddenly felt a little uncertain. What if that nameplate was really useful? What if Shen Yushu really got into trouble? What should he do then?
Countless thoughts ran through my mind.
suddenly--
Jian Yue heard Shen Yushu say, "We're here."
Just as he was daydreaming all the way, he unknowingly followed Shen Yushu to a path behind the village. The path was winding and twisted, and some of the stone slabs could not even be seen clearly. At the end of the path was a somewhat deserted and dilapidated temple!
When was this temple built?
How come he never noticed this before!?
Shen Yushu said, "This is another mountain temple. My mother said she had heard of this temple when she was young. It is said that there once lived here a mountain god, a very powerful mountain god. If lovers come here together, they can take a stone from the entrance of the mountain temple. This stone can bless them to have a love that is stronger than gold for all eternity."
Jian Yue complained: "Is this true, Master? If it's so effective, then I think those people in the village..."
The village chief, his wife, and the carpenters are all heavyweights!
But he didn't dare say that.
Shen Yushu said: "This mountain temple is very dilapidated. I heard that no one has been here for hundreds of years."
Jian Yue asked: "Why is this?"
"How would I know that?" Shen Yushu said, "Maybe the people in this village are all ambitious and want to pursue their careers, so they don't have any emotions in their hearts."
Jian Yue: “…”
You have no idea how much they play!
Complaining in my heart.
But it didn't stop Jian Yue from following Shen Yushu and kneeling in front of the dilapidated temple. He asked, "Is this a wish that will come true?"
Shen Yushu said: "I am bringing you here for a tour. You believe in such gods and ghosts. If you have any wishes, you might as well tell me directly. It will come true faster than asking God to fulfill them!"
Jian Yue said with emotion: "Master, you are a firm materialist. I want to learn from you."
Shen Yushu snorted and said, "Of course, but since we are here, it won't hurt to pay a little respect. I think these stones look pretty good and they are not clean. Which one do you want to choose?"
Jian Yue: "... this one, this one is smaller, it should be easier to hold."
Shen Yushu picked the one next to him and put it on. Then he heard Jian Yue muttering softly, "This stone can't really be divine. If I wear it, will all ghosts and monsters be unable to get close to me?"
Then how can he cling to Shen Yushu in the future? !
As soon as the words fell.
Shen Yushu's movements froze slightly. He looked at Jian Yue with a deep gaze, then suddenly threw the stone to the side and said, "But even if we take a step back, I have received a higher education. This kind of superstition is not credible. Who knows if the stone on the roadside is clean? Throw it away!"
Jian Yue: “…”
If it wasn't Master, then who was it that just praised it for being clean and beautiful! ?
