Chapter 133 The Infinite Player's Ghost Wife
The subtle sound of a peacock spreading its tail made Lin Zhi curl her lips inwardly, as if she saw an invisible tail swaying behind Xie Qing.
However, he did not make any emotional response. According to Xie Qing's personality of being able to stir up trouble even without any warning, he might continue to show off his skills to him.
The teammates in this game did not notice Xie Qing's little thoughts. It is naturally a good thing to have a core in the team who can point out the direction for everyone.
When Xie Qing went out in the morning, he had a clear idea of the general terrain of the village and divided it into three parts.
The part on the upper right near the ancestral hall is where the women live, so Liu Yue naturally took Tongtong to search it.
Lin Zhi chose the upper left side close to the sea, and Xie Qing naturally followed him. Zhang San and Zhang Yunzhao chose the remaining lower half close to the village entrance.
Although it was daytime, the surroundings still seemed quite quiet.
The anticipated ceremony just ended, but the atmosphere in the village was not much better.
Lin Zhi walked along the road, with Xie Qing walking beside him.
"Why don't you play with your coins?"
Lin Zhi looked at him walking forward in an orderly manner and asked, tilting her hair slightly.
In the past, even when Xie Qing was conducting a search, he would unconsciously play with coins with his fingers as a form of entertainment.
Apart from having seen it at the beginning, it seems that I have never seen him take it out since then.
Xie Qing took out his coin from his pocket, touched his thumb and index finger together, and flicked the coin into the air.
After reaching out to catch them, Xie Qing did not check the pattern on the coins, but put them back into his pocket.
"With you by my side, I no longer need it to provide me with answers, because every day since I met you is bound to be a lucky day."
Xie Qing put his hands in the pockets of his sweatshirt, lowered his head and looked at Lin Zhi with high spirits, his voice leisurely and cheerful.
His joy was infectious, like a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds.
The cool air you inhale into your heart and lungs turns into hot breath when you exhale.
Lin Zhi found it really magical. This kind of luminous unstable body had never appeared in his life.
He couldn't say that Xie Qing was acting, because Xie Qing's emotions were real, he didn't lie, and Xie Qing truly felt lucky every day after meeting him.
But this is by no means a passionate confession of deep love. The ambiguous deviation brought by the sweet words creates an illusion without making people think that this is to win favor.
Because these kinds of free and easy words are exactly what Xie Qing can easily express when he is not deeply in love.
Some people seem to be born with a sweetness of emotion. The words coming out of their mouths are particularly touching. But if they make a wrong move, they will become anxious and worried.
However, as the chess player, Lin Zhi certainly would not have his emotions manipulated easily, so he listened in a happy mood, smiling secretly but not showing it on his face, and focused his attention elsewhere.
"Does your coin have any special effects?"
"It should be, after all, it's so expensive."
Xie Qing said uncertainly that the points he had at the time were just enough to buy such a coin, and when he saw the price, he bought it without hesitation.
There must be a reason for this being so flashy.
If it doesn't make sense, then forget it. It's just for fun anyway, just throw the points into the water and hear the sound.
Moreover, it is portable and inconspicuous, making it perfect for killing time.
Xie Qing asked curiously, "This is something from a game, can't you tell, honey?"
Lin Zhi shook his head. He really didn't feel any special power from this coin.
Xie Qing: "Maybe it's just a simple coin, but when I think of this..."
Lin Zhi's hand was suddenly held by Xie Qing, and then something was stuffed into his hand.
He looked at the exquisitely wrapped candy in his palm, with confusion in his dark eyes.
"Perhaps to avoid the tragedy of robbery, the game stipulates that items purchased with points are only effective for the player himself, but you are very special. I don't know if it will work for you. You should try it now."
Xie Qing urged, thinking that it was a good thing that he didn't use up all the points from the previous game. If Lin Zhi could really be used, that would be great.
Lin Zhi tore open the wrapper and put the candy in his mouth.
The orange flavor spreads on the tip of the tongue, revealing sweetness.
"Can."
Lin Zhi nodded, but her voice was a little unclear because she was holding a candy in her mouth.
"Then if you don't have enough, ask me for more."
Xie Qing bought ten more candies in the mall without hesitation and stacked them in his palm. The candy wrappers reflected brilliant light in the sunlight.
Lin Zhi shook her head and said, "I can't eat that much."
"It's okay, you can take your time eating. You can tell me if there's anything else you want. After all, what's mine is yours."
Xie Qing put the candy into his pocket, held Lin Zhi's fingertips and shook it gently.
He suddenly felt regretful for his previous wasteful behavior. There seemed to be many useless things in the points mall that were sold at very high prices, which was very puzzling. For example, the miniskirt he had just glanced at actually cost 300 points.
He strongly condemned this weird price and hoped that the points mall would sell it for 30 yuan each tomorrow. Unfortunately, there was no Consumer Association in the world after death, otherwise he would definitely file a complaint.
Lin Zhi nodded politely to show that he understood.
Xie Qing was not surprised that he could use the points product, which meant that he might have done this before. Perhaps when he participated in the second game and could use the points, he had already conducted this experiment.
He spends the points earned at the risk of his life like this for fun, is keen on challenging the rules, and steals things from NPCs. He is really Xie Qing.
Lin Zhi rolled the candy ball with the tip of her tongue and squinted her eyes happily.
After arriving at the designated area, Lin Zhi discovered that the doors of all houses where people were present were open.
There was a man working with a fishing net in the yard. Xie Qing knocked on the door and said hello to him, but he seemed not to hear him and did not look up.
Lin Zhi and Xie Qing walked closer and could only hear him mumbling "so many fish".
Xie Qing deliberately tugged at the fishing net in his hand, but he didn't react.
Apparently unable to communicate, Lin Zhi and Xie Qing walked forward.
There were several houses with their doors closed, and one of them was particularly special.
The fishy sea breeze blew through the village. In front of us was a dilapidated brick house, standing alone and closed, as if it had been abandoned.
The ground was covered with blue-black corrosion marks, and there were dark bloodstains on the wooden door.
It was just short of writing "Something's happening here" on the door. Lin Zhi pushed the door open and walked inside.
There were drying poles scattered all over the yard, and dead fish entangled in fishing nets, emitting a foul smell.
The pickled fish were scattered on the ground, trampled into mud, with black and red blood mixed in between the blue and black marks.
Lin Zhi walked into the main room. Judging from the bloodstains, it looked like someone had fled from the bed in panic and was crawling on the ground.
The people in the side room heard the noise and knocked over tables and chairs and knocked over things in the courtyard as they ran away.
At the same time, Liu Yue was chatting with the aunts in the village using the same conversation pattern as yesterday.
The women had already finished praying in the ancestral hall. Liu Yue saw an aunt mumbling while washing clothes and immediately went to help.
"I don't know if my man can take good care of the baby or change its diaper."
The aunt sighed while washing clothes, and Liu Yue echoed her.
After opening the conversation, Liu Yue began to inquire about Queen Hai.
"Aunt, do you know who Queen Hai's first wife was?"
"That's all old news. I wasn't born at that time, so I don't know. You can ask Sister Liu. The priests have books, so it must have been recorded. The first wife must be Hai Niangniang's first wife. The priests call them Hai Ji."
Liu Yue responded and left, unable to help but feeling a little disappointed.
This was not the first woman she had asked. Because what she was asking about was related to the past, which Xiaoxia did not know, she specifically chose older people to ask, but she did not get a definite answer, so they all told her to ask the priestess Sister Liu.
Liu Yue had already tried to talk to him, but he was rejected coldly before he could say a word.
Liu Yue was searching for the next target to question when he suddenly discovered that Tongtong was missing.
She was startled and went to look for him immediately. Although they were all players of a survival game, Tongtong was so young and the traditional respect for the elderly and love for the young, which was ingrained in the nation, was hard for her to ignore.
She looked around for a long time before she found Tongtong who came out from the corner of the firewood pile and grabbed the child's hand.
There was some anger in her voice: "Tongtong, where have you been? It's such a dangerous place, don't run around, okay?"
"I was talking to the old lady, but she's tired now, so I came out."
Tongtong pointed at the door, and with her guidance Liu Yue discovered that there was an entrance there.
It was a low shed built behind the house, blocked by other buildings and completely out of the light.
There were piles of wet firewood and straw at the door, and tattered fishing nets placed randomly. The dark black colors made it easy to forget that there was a door there.
How could an old lady live in a place like this? Liu Yue's radar sounded, she must be an important plot NPC.
"Tongtong, how old is that old lady? What did you talk to her about?"
"I was just about to tell my sister. I asked grandma the question that Brother Xie Qing asked, who was Queen Hai's first wife? Grandma told me it was Chen A-Lian."
Liu Yue couldn't help but ask: "Who is Chen A Lian?"
Tongtong shook his head: "I don't know, the old lady didn't say anything and hummed a song."
Tongtong imitated the tune a little unsmoothly. Liu Yue couldn't understand anything and felt a little anxious.
She couldn't help but knock on the door of the woodshed, but there was no response.
Liu Yue wanted to push the door open, but found that dark blue mucus was constantly oozing out from under the door.
Liu Yue's scalp suddenly went numb. Without caring about anything else, he picked up Tongtong, used his speed talent, and rushed out with a shadowless step.
Inside the brick house, Xie Qing and Lin Zhi searched separately.
“There is a tablet for worship here.”
Xie Qing's voice came from the innermost part, and Lin Zhi walked over immediately.
It was a small room separated from the east house, with an incense burner on the table.
There was a black and white family portrait hanging on the wall. A couple was standing together, the daughter was held by her father, and a boy about three years old was held in his mother's arms.
There are two photos of the deceased couple under the family photo. Their faces have become old.
Loving father Dong Haifeng, loving mother Chen Xiangping.
There is no doubt that the owner of the house who enshrines the tablet is the boy being held in the photo. Lin Zhi's eyes fell on the girl who was led by the man. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a ponytail, and was smiling very happily.
There was also a tablet placed upside down on the table with no portrait on it.
Lin Zhi reached out to lift it up and saw the words on it.
——Sister Ai Chen A Lian
