Chapter 36 The strange bird in the flood

Returning to the small earthen house where they stayed temporarily, Song Xue and Nie Lang hadn't left yet. Besides them, there was also a foreign man with blond hair and amber eyes... and Ren Yi.

When the foreign man saw him, he smiled like a sunny boy, as if he was not the one who took the incense burner in advance.

Yu Xing paused and looked again. The siren had gone somewhere. Zhao Mou and Ren Yi sat very close to each other and took out tablets to write and draw on them.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, several people raised their eyes to cast a glance. Ren Yi stretched out his hand and waved: "Long time no see, Yu Xing."

Then he saw Zhao Yijiu following Yu Xing: "There is also cold wine."

Zhao Yijiu nodded slightly.

"Long time no see." Yu Xing came in, a little surprised, "You came alone?"

"It happened suddenly, and I didn't have time to make more arrangements, so I had to come alone." Ren Yi was very good at talking, and his emotional stability was definitely ranked first among the deducers Yu Xing had seen.

He further explained: "I followed the planes of the Luo family and the Zhao family. I just told Zhao Mou about the candidates sent by these two families."

"Oh, we met someone from the Zhao family on the way back." Yu Xing sat down on a chair. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Mou suddenly raised his head and scanned the two people who had returned from the trip with inquiring eyes.

Finally, he lowered his head and said calmly: "As long as you don't suffer any loss."

Fortunately, Yu was funny. He knew Zhao Mou. The calmer the little fox became, the more it proved that he already had a plan in mind to deal with several members of the Zhao family.

Zhao Mou put down his tablet and said to Yu Xing and Zhao Yijiu: "The Luo family is led by Luo Yan. Also coming are his junior sister Luo Xianfeng and his junior brother Cheng Yiju with a different surname."

Zhao Mou took out all the corresponding information and showed it to the Pojing members.

On the surface, these three people have no record of cheating their teammates. They are pretty good in an environment where most gamers leave bad marks. As for their true colors in private, they can only be judged by getting along with them in person.

Of the three Zhao family members, Zhao Zhan is the leader of the younger generation of the main family. Zhao Huaisheng and Zhao Zhan are close friends. They have played together since childhood, but their talents are not as strong as Zhao Zhan, so they took a step back and concentrated on supporting Zhao Zhan.

Zhao Dongxue was originally the daughter of another branch family. Because that branch family was completely wiped out in the dungeon, she was adopted by her elders when she was still young. Since then, she has become a member of the family. She knew her situation and soon

Working hard to climb up, ambitious but limited by his own abilities. This time, he is considered a subordinate driven by Zhao Zhan.

Yu Xing listened to Ren Yi add a few words and determined the number of deducers for this copy.

Three people from the Luo family, four people from the Zhao family, three people from the investigation team, three people from Po Jing, plus Siren and Ren Yi, a total of fifteen people.

At best, they are all considered elites; at worst, if there is no cannon fodder, someone is bound to create it.

After a while, the siren came back. She went to the home of the village head of Suyu County to get some information. Now all the people who were interested in cooperating were present. There were more lively sounds outside the earthen house, and the villagers greeted each other.

Off to the theater.

Someone knocked on the door to remind them that the shadow puppet show was about to start. When they didn't follow immediately, they didn't say anything, and happily closed the door for them again.

People were sitting and standing in the room, and no one was planning to move.

"It seems that everyone has their own concerns." After a while, Song Xue spoke first.

She showed a polite smile: "Everyone also knows that deduction games with tickets are difficult and the number of people is limited. So find out how to open the dungeon and everyone can achieve the goal."

"Miss Song, are you planning to be honest and exchange clues?" Yu Xing crossed his arms across his chest and sat down. For some reason, Nie Lang would be overly vigilant and anxious when he opened his mouth. However, he ignored Nie Lang at the moment and joked,

"But who can be sure that triggered dungeons will not affect everyone's initial settings for the game based on their trigger contribution?"

Song Xue looked at him and smiled quietly: "When you say that, you seem to be getting an advantage and acting like a good boy."

"Oh?" Yu Xing raised his eyebrows, "When the investigation team left with important items, Brother Jiu and I didn't even catch up."

Quinn curled his lips when he heard this and muttered: "What's wrong with first come, first served?"

"It took us a whole day to confirm the existence of this object and accurately locate it." Song Xue tucked the scattered hair behind her ears and tilted her head, "And you only need to act based on Quinn's behavior.

If you work backwards, you can easily get the same information, isn't it that you have made a profit?"

What she said is absolutely correct.

If Quinn hadn't taken away the incense burner, Yu Xing wouldn't have directly determined the answer because there was ashes in the box but there was no incense burner, unless the incense burner itself had a weird smell.

Judging from Song Xue's statement that "it took a whole day to locate it", the existence of the incense burner should not be blessed by a strange aura, and we don't know what her positioning method is.

Song Xue seemed helpless: "Because the three of us are not good at finding things, so after you came, we found you to cooperate as soon as possible, so that after entering the dungeon, we would not waste so much time looking for things.

.”

"I heard that you focused all your attention on finding the objects. Even if you got the objects, you didn't figure out how to use them." Zhao Mou hit the nail on the head, "Maybe you originally wanted to try it yourself first, so that you can open it directly.

As for the dungeon, our cooperation will start from the beginning of the deduction."

"But you failed to do it, so you decided to take the things out, exchange information with us, and share the profits equally."

Somewhat sharply exposing Song Xue's plan, Zhao Mou's tone suddenly softened, his fox ears stood up again, and he said softly: "Of course... no problem."

Song Xue had expected it, and was not surprised by his style of hitting him with a stick and then giving him a sweet date.

Ren Yi brought nothing but people, silently lowered his sense of existence, and determined to be a happy prostitute.

Now that the two sides had agreed, Quinn shook out the hidden incense burner from his fingers.

Apparently, he has a special storage space that makes it impossible to find anything that is not a sacrifice.

In the blink of an eye, an ordinary rusty incense burner fell into Quinn's hand. The foreign guy glanced around and finally returned it to Yu Xing: "I tried it. Lighting incense can't trigger the copy, but I'm pretty sure about the point.

It's on the incense burner, do you know what to do?"

"If you're not lighting incense, you're naturally making offerings." Yu Xing narrowed his eyes and didn't answer directly. Instead, he threw the words to the siren, "You went to the village chief and found out something?"

The Siren thought for a while: "The information I found has nothing to do with the incense burner. It is mainly about a myth about Acid and County."

Legend has it that a long time ago, this place was not called Suanyu County, but just one of the many tribes living in the mountains.

One year, Yejiang became angry and flooded, drowning many people.

The tribe was forced to move to higher mountains, but the flood continued to rise, destroying their food. At the critical moment of survival, a strange bird flew from the sky.

The strange bird had four wings, but its body was twisted and slender like a snake. The snake had three legs. It circled above the tribe, and everyone saw its six eyes arranged on its head.

Before I had time to be frightened, it disappeared without a trace.

"That bird is Suyu? It saved this tribe?" Zhao Mou raised his eyebrows.

Suyu is a strange bird in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Everyone present must have this knowledge, and they must have done analysis before coming here.

But in the records, Suan Yu is not auspicious, let alone a kind-hearted bird that saves people. Wherever it goes, terrible things will happen.

"No, it didn't save anyone." The siren denied it, "On the contrary, something happened to the tribe that night."

The flood brought hunger, cold, and even plague, making it difficult for the tribesmen to sleep. But that night, everyone heard strange bird calls. The sound was like a cry, calling everyone's name.

Everyone who heard his name walked out as if they were possessed. These people left the cave in the mountain where they stayed and went out to check. Once they left, they never returned. More and more people disappeared, leaving the priest of the tribe alone.

The reason why the priest did not go out was not because he could resist the temptation of the sound, but because his leg was broken while avoiding the flood. When the bird chirping disappeared the next day, the frightened priest climbed out of the cave and saw

Bodies all over the ground.

All the clan members are dead.

After the sun came up, the dead tribesmen stood up one by one, returned to the cave with blue faces, and continued to live as if nothing had happened, as if they did not know that they were dead.

The priest almost thought it was a dream, but the tribe no longer needed to eat and drink, and they were no longer afraid of the cold. With this, the tribe survived until the flood ended and re-established their homeland.

The clan leader changed the name of the tribe to Suyou, saying it was an auspicious bird. Only the only living priest knew the truth. He watched the corpses rotting day by day, but they could still reproduce and give birth to normal children. The children also gradually

He grew up, replaced the corpses that were too rotten to move anymore, and became the new blood of the tribe.

The priest was in panic all day long, recorded the incident, and then died of old age in fear.

As time passed, the first batch of corpses had long since rotted in the mud, and generations of healthy children continued to pass them on, evolving into today's Suyu County. ()
