Housewife
Back on the street, all the injuries suffered by the players disappeared, but although the physical injuries were healed, the scars on the heart remained.
Li Shaodong had experienced this before. He saw that Xu Wei and the others were still inexperienced in this area, so he consoled them: "Don't think too much. Go back and have a good sleep, and you'll be fine. Eat more delicious food."
I have to go to the next copy.
Xu Wei said “hmm”.
Several people added the bracelet as friends and were all very tired. Zhang Yuan and the other person took Qi Xiaopei back to their residence first.
Xu Wei wanted to go to the city hall to check on his family's situation.
"Long time no see," Qiu came up to greet her when he saw her, and took out the settlement instrument skillfully, "One cent."
Xu Wei’s bracelet beeped.
There is still 317 points left on the bracelet.
I had 168 points left after buying the house, and I used 52 points on the gym and various expenses, so the balance before entering the dungeon was 116 points.
This time, the system was very generous in the settlement because she passed the level higher than the previous one, and gave her a full 202 points, which also included rewards for killing ghosts such as Du Xingye.
In order to compensate her, the player level was even raised to C, and the [Singer Companion] skill was also upgraded by two levels, now at level 4, unlocking the volume function and original singing mode.
From now on, she will be able to adjust the volume manually without even having to sing.
But Xu Wei didn't care much about these rewards, and was even a little bored.
"Your relative is in the dungeon now. The last time she came back from the dungeon, you happened to be in the dungeon." Qiu Nian said, looking at the information screen in front of him.
"Yeah." Xu Wei nodded, turned and left.
When she got home, she closed the door and took a deep sleep, and didn't get out of bed until dark.
Lu Fanye was placing chopsticks at the dining table when she saw Xu Wei open the door and motion for her to wash up and eat.
Xu Wei tidied himself up casually and sat down slowly at the dining table.
Stir-fried pork with peppers, stir-fried lettuce, steamed eggs and a bowl of mung bean porridge.
It’s a very homely dish, much more exquisite than the big pot dishes in the standard lunch boxes delivered by the system, and it makes one’s mouth water just by looking at it.
Xu Wei put his hands on the table and sat down.
"You eat first and have some porridge. The soup is not ready yet." Lu Fanye was wearing a T-shirt with long pants and a pink apron. His outfit was quite incongruous, but his handsome features, broad shoulders and narrow waist made this outfit look different.
A handsome, good-family man.
Xu Wei was thinking.
Her expression remained unchanged as she picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it into her mouth.
"Your craftsmanship is really good."
After Lu Fanye finished working in the kitchen, he put on thick heat-insulating gloves and brought out a bowl of soup: "You said the broth was full of fat."
So he cooked some vegetable and lean meat soup.
"It smells so good." Xu Wei closed his eyes and took a sniff.
Lu Fanye also sat down and picked up his chopsticks to eat.
Xu Wei ate his meal with great pleasure, taking a bite of rice and a bite of vegetables.
"Thank you." She was genuinely grateful.
"What's the big deal? We've already gone through two books together." He didn't care.
"No, thank you for comforting me." Xu Wei raised his head and looked at him seriously.
After coming out of the copy, she was in a very depressed mood. Lu Fanye saw it and tried to persuade her, but he seemed to have no experience and his words were clumsy, and he fell silent afterwards.
Xu Wei doesn't know how to cook. Before, the two of them ate meals that were delivered on time. Lu Fanye had never cooked before, but they didn't expect that he would actually cook a table full of delicious meals today.
Anyone would be happy to wake up hungry and find that they can eat the home-cooked meals they have not eaten for a long time.
It's not necessary. They are just partners in the dungeon. There's no need to care about her feelings.
"It's good that you know." Lu Fanye glanced at her.
After dinner, the two sat on the sofa and watched TV.
Xu Wei flipped through the Star Channel that she was tired of watching, looking for past consultations.
Lu Fanye watched her type the word "touch" into the search box.
A lot of mixed information came out, and she clicked on them one by one.
"Hermaphrodite... no wonder..." Xu Wei read the words on the screen.
No wonder he didn't care about wearing women's clothes, and no wonder he squeezed her hand when they first met.
The Touchstones have no concept of gender.
"They have a well-developed sense of smell and can smell special information, so they often work in rescue search sites."
Xu Wei didn't feel that there was any smell of Yang Qilu on her body. She seemed to have never come into contact with other Touch aliens. Moreover, Lu Fanye had also come into contact with those she had come into contact with, so why did he mention her?
Lu Fanye obviously thought of this as well: "You must have something that I don't have."
Xu Wei was stunned.
The only thing she had that Lu Fanye didn't have was a marker.
Is this the same kind of information?
The mission that comes with the marker pen means saving one's own kind?
She uses this pen to mark creatures that do not belong to the copy world. What will happen when she leaves the copy?
Is it destruction or salvation?
Yang Qilu's presence made Xu Wei inclined to the latter.
This made her even more confused.
In his words to the Little Light Group, he also urged the Earth players to clear the Judgment Game, and called the players the hope of victory, as if they had a common enemy in front of them.
Are players and interstellar civilizations on the same front?
However, interstellar civilization created the Judgment Game, where the game system controlled the dungeon, and the dungeon was a place where players could kill...
This is so contradictory.
Just like the system that issued the marker pen task did not allow Xu Wei to go back and reveal the existence of the task to the main system.
Very divided.
It's as if there are two different forces pulling at each other in the game, just waiting for one to gain the upper hand so as to completely end the other.
Which side do the players belong to? Or are they just tools of a third party?
"Have you thought about it?" Lu Fanye asked her.
Xu Wei withdrew his gaze and exclaimed, "Ah."
"Do you have a goal?" he continued to ask.
"Are you the worm in my stomach?" Xu Wei asked in surprise, "Why do you always act like you know everything? Are you some dungeon boss who has transformed into a human?"
Lu Fanye: "..."
"Stop reading those endless novels stored on your tablet, especially those about romance."
"Let's watch some plot flow."
Xu Wei: I don’t want to listen.
Lu Fanye took the remote control from her, exited the channel, and started flipping through the history of the Earth.
"Read this more, maybe you'll be able to guess it when you hear the hint at the beginning of a dungeon next time."
Xu Wei looked at it for a while and sighed silently.
Lu Fanye turned his head and looked at her questioningly.
Why are you in a bad mood again?
Xu Wei continued to sigh: "I... regret it."
I regretted wanting Man Yue to kill Du Xingye, otherwise the level of the copy would not have increased suddenly, and Taoist Jiang would not have died.
They are just ghosts, why should we sympathize with them?
"Why do you want to help her?"
Xu Wei: "I just, when I think about what happened to her, I..."
She turned to look at Lu Fanye and asked seriously: "Do you know when she was... raped by Du Xingye?"
Lu Fanye: "When?"
"On the night we came to the dungeon," Xu Wei lowered his eyelashes and looked down, "At first, I didn't intend to help her when I didn't understand it."
"That night, we drank with Du Xingye. You should remember that we drank a lot. I helped you back to the west wing. It was that night that Du Xingye got drunk."
"He was going to go to the Fourteenth Lady first, but then he suddenly returned—he was drunk, so he went to look for Man Yue."
"So when the Second Madam went crazy, Du Xingye arrived quickly in his military uniform because he had just returned from the full moon celebration."
Even his clothes were disheveled, which might be caused by the Second Lady scratching him in a nightmare, or it might be a sign of Man Yue's resistance.
That night, when everyone was sleeping peacefully, an innocent woman who was as gentle as water and was waiting for her husband to come home encountered a brutal beastly act.
She had nowhere to appeal because that was her husband's brother, the head of the Du family and the ruler of Xidi. Neither she nor her husband could resist him.
She did not choose to die. Having received a modern education, she understood that these humiliations were the evil deeds of the perpetrators and had nothing to do with the victims. She should not humiliate herself so easily.
But her child is gone.
She had a long-awaited child whom she had never met, and she never even knew the child existed. And at this heartbreaking moment, her beloved husband was not by her side.
She even guessed why he was not around.
Even if it was just a vague guess, she couldn't bear it at all.
Mother's love is heartbreaking, and love is like an endless abyss.
Despair overwhelmed her and dragged her into the bottom of the well.
So in the second half of the night, the second wife would see evil spirits in her nightmares and die of miscarriage. Nongqin and Liuxu witnessed everything.
"You know what? When she was holding Du Qiong and talking, I thought of how she didn't die immediately after jumping into the well, but lay there for a long time with her limbs broken, her face pressed to the bottom of the well, unable to see even the moonlight..." Xu Wei covered his face and spoke in a dull tone, "I felt compassion at that time. I hope that the ending of this story is a successful revenge, rather than us helping the evil to stifle resistance."
"But I didn't expect that she didn't dare to kill Du Xingye. No, I should have thought of it earlier. In the next few days, Du Xingye went to find her, and she didn't dare to resist... She was always afraid of him."
Just as all women fear, how can the shackles that have been hanging over their heads for a long time be solved by relying on the power of ghosts and gods?
"So I'm sorry to Taoist Jiang. It was me who harmed him, whether it was making the decision to help Man Yue or him putting on that pajamas for me..."
Xu Wei's eyes turned red and his hands clenched unconsciously.
She regrets it very much.
Even though she had gone through two copies and killed many ghosts and monsters, she was ultimately an ordinary person, even an ordinary person with a little kindness. She had never killed anyone and had never thought of killing anyone.
But what she did today killed a soldier who regarded her as a friend and hope.
He came to a strange planet alone, and struggled to survive in this treacherous and bizarre world. He had no relatives and was surrounded by ghosts. He didn't even dare to ask others for his food, but he never forgot his mission.
He said, "I will go home tomorrow too," and he hopes that players will take him with them when they complete the game.
For eighteen years, he must have missed his hometown so much.
Lu Fanye sighed, took out a piece of paper and handed it to her: "You are not suitable for role-playing copies."
Xu Wei took the tissue and looked up at him blankly.
