Yu Xing's figure disappeared outside the temporary camp.
Zhao Yijiu and Zhao Ruru discovered it quickly and followed decisively, almost melting into the darkness with their front and rear legs.
When they were tracking Yu Xing along the footprints with torches, other deductions scattered throughout the mountain flashed before their eyes, and a system prompt appeared late.
[Side task prompt: The player "Unknown" triggered the collective plot, do you want to participate? 】
It’s a sentence without beginning or end, and it doesn’t mention the rewards for participating or the consequences of refusing.
Everyone, including a few people who had already confirmed that they were safe and about to fall asleep, suddenly became clear-headed and chose to participate without hesitation.
[Side mission (limited time): Go to Yeshui Yizhuang before dawn. 】
The moonlight is bright.
Zhao Mou was resting in the wing of the dilapidated temple, adjusting his clothes and squinting at the window.
He was currently resting in a very remote temple in the mountains. This temple enshrined a female statue. Unfortunately, the statue had been damaged by wind and frost, and no information could be discerned.
The temple itself also seems to have been abandoned for many years, with cobwebs and dust scattered in every corner, the walls peeling off, and the window paper damaged. It seems that no one has been there for a long time.
Although it was uncertain whether there would be any danger in such a small temple, Luo Yan next door was a young master, and he also brought a troublesome boy with a broken leg. Naturally, he could not sleep in the wild. After several measurements and inspections, they moved in.
.
The temple is small, but it can barely fit into three rooms.
No matter how disobedient the boy was, he would not blatantly want to sleep in the same room with his master, so the three of them shared a room.
Zhao Mou was about to fall asleep when a task suddenly popped up. The person who triggered the task was Yu Xing.
He had to get up again.
The moonlight outside the window passed through the damaged window paper and fell on the floor of the room. Countless suspended fine dust particles could be seen in the beam.
The moonlight was different from normal. Its brightness was actually comparable to that of lights with lower wattage, and it revealed a sense of absurdity in the dark night.
He pushed the door open with a little curiosity, wanting to see what was going on. However, when the door opened, the sight in front of him stunned him for a moment.
Without him, it would be too dreamy.
The bright white jade moon hung quietly in the sky, and the light it shed seemed to have consciousness and converged in front of his door. Starting from his porch and ending at the front hall of the temple at the end of his sight, a luminous road was actually paved.
.
A road paved entirely by moonlight.
The door of the next room was also pushed open, and a sober-looking Luo Yan came out alertly. The two looked at each other, and Zhao Mou spoke first: "I have never seen such a strange sight. Do you want to go for a walk together?"
Luo Yan naturally agreed.
They were still thinking about it. The side mission only gave them one goal, but it didn't tell them at all where the Ye Shui Yi Village was and how they were going to find the place before dawn.
Now it seems that the moon is leading the way.
Just as they were about to walk out of the temple along the light path, shouting came from the third room.
"Master! Master!"
The boy hadn't slept yet, probably because he was in pain from the wound and couldn't sleep.
The door opened with a bang, and the boy hurriedly grabbed the door frame, carefully raising one leg so as not to touch the ground: "Where are you going?"
Luo Yan's expression turned dark for a moment.
During the day, the young boy with limited mobility brought them more troubles. However, his patience was almost over. No matter how soft-hearted the young master was, he would not be able to indulge a servant on his head without any bottom line.
Be a master and a blessing.
He deliberately suffered some injuries due to the young man's involvement, so as to accumulate "causes" for his final attack, so that when he breaks the basic setting of the character and obtains the "result" of throwing the young man away, he can naturally avoid punishment.
No matter what the reason for the performance condition in this copy exists, its new cause and effect will not be restricted by the original conditions.
For example, now, Luo Yan looked at the young man unhappily, but still replied in a good-tempered manner: "The doctor asked me to take a walk, what do you want?"
Because each of them only knew part of their character information, and their character names were not mentioned in the information, no one dared to easily confuse the characters with their own names, so they never called anyone else by their names from beginning to end, and all called them "Master"
"Doctor" is a general term suitable for this.
"Take a walk? It's so late, sir, it's better not to go out and run around..." The young man looked at Luo Yan in embarrassment, "Don't you want to go to bed early?"
Zhao Mou is now traveling with Luo Yan, forming an alliance to some extent. The two have already reached cooperation with their eyes. Zhao Mou knows that Luo Yan has his own way to get rid of this guy, but he doesn't mind helping to speed up the process.
.
So he frowned.
"Hey, let me tell you, your master asked you what's the matter, why didn't you answer, but instead asked the master in a long-winded way? You have such a big family, but the servants don't understand the rules like this?"
The boy choked for a moment and made no sound.
After getting along with him for the past two days, he had a certain fear of the smiling tiger doctor, and he did not dare to confront the doctor directly like yesterday.
Zhao Mou patted Luo Yan's shoulder mockingly again: "You are really an idiot. The servants just think you are easy to bully, so they dare to be like you."
"If it were the wealthy families I have interacted with before, how could the servants dare to talk like this? Why would they care where the master goes for a walk? I would have slapped him away."
Luo Yan looked ashamed and angry.
"I'm not a idiot, I... you're right, I'm too weak."
He faced the boy and scolded him unaccustomedly: "Is it beyond your control what happens between me and the doctor?"
The boy shrank his head, but he was not willing to accept it: "Walking in the forest at night is dangerous after all, otherwise, young master, please take me with you..."
Luo Yan seemed to be short of breath, and his chest heaved violently twice, like a young man who had been completely humiliated by a servant in front of his new doctor friend.
His face was a little worried: "I told you, the doctor invites me to take a walk, will you go? Are you worthy? Or am I not speaking human language and you don't understand?"
"What a misfortune our family has, young master. When you go back this time, let your father sell this young man. It's so unruly. I'm afraid you no longer know who is the master and who is the servant." Zhao Mou sighed at the side.
"You even want to get involved in private matters such as a walk and a chat between the master and his friends. Do you think that you and the master have the same status? My legs are still broken, so there are so many thoughts on my mind."
When the boy heard this, he immediately stopped all his thoughts and didn't even dare to say "come back early".
After all, the "doctor" did hit on some things. For example, the butler did not regard himself as a servant, but as an elder to control the young master. Now that the butler is gone, he thinks he has replaced the butler, and he usually has some control over this and that.
.
It's okay if this matter doesn't get picked up by anyone, but once someone calls him out, it's his fault.
If the young master really talks to the master after he returns home, nothing will happen to the housekeeper, but an ordinary boy like him will probably be severely punished, and may even be sold to someone else.
.
The door is closed.
Seeing that he finally no longer had to argue with the boy, Luo Yan breathed out a sincere sigh.
Both of them noticed that the boy did not show any surprise because of the abnormality in the moonlight after he went out, indicating that this abnormality could only be seen by the deducers, and it was probably related to the side mission they had just accepted.
This further shows that it is best for them to complete the task by themselves. If NPCs are brought along, there may be some trouble.
Zhao Mou took the opportunity to insult the boy a few more times, and walked out of the temple with Luo Yan. He saw the moonlight extending crookedly into the jungle. Because of the light, the moonlight path was still clear to a very far away place.
At a glance, it looks like a Milky Way spreading out from beneath your feet.
"It's really strange." Zhao Mou's eyes flashed, "Tell me, where does this road lead?"
On the surface, they don't know that the end is Ye Shui Yizhuang, so they have to pretend to be more or less.
"I don't know. But we have seen a lot of weird things recently. If we don't investigate such obvious weirdness, what if we just sit there and wait for death?" Luo Yan was quite nervous and walked towards the end of the moonlight first.
