The door that was pushed open bounced back silently, breaking the silence of the moment.
Whether they were investigating in the Yizhuang, those waiting in the wing, or those who had just stepped into the gate of the Yizhuang, they all subconsciously looked for the old man mentioned in the mission.
"Boom, boom."
The slow tapping sound came from far to near.
Zhao Yijiu heard the direction of the sound and immediately looked at the locked door in the backyard.
The knocking sound was right behind the door. People in the front yard rushed over. Before they could "get to know" each other, they saw the locked door shake and someone opened the bolt from the inside.
The deep darkness of night flowed out from the crack in the door that opened wider and wider. A stooped old man wearing a cloth robe full of patches, supporting his body with a cane, stepped out step by step across the threshold.
When Zhao Yijiu wanted to take the opportunity to see what the backyard looked like, a gust of wind happened to blow by, blowing the door shut with lightning speed.
"There are so many helpers here..."
The old man's hoarse voice conveyed the decay of his old age. He raised his head with difficulty, his face had deep grooves and his eyes were cloudy.
Some people did not forget to play the character, thinking that if they did not ask a few questions in this situation, the character would be destroyed, but before they opened their mouths, they felt that their throats were sealed and their lips seemed to be glued together.
Can't make a sound.
As a result, no one interrupted the old man. Only the old man faced the dozen or so people who surrounded him, showing a stiff smile.
"They are all kind-hearted and good children..."
"Help me, so many people are waiting to be laid to rest..."
He walked forward on crutches, and the deducers automatically made way for him.
I saw the old man walking slowly through the wing, then to the front yard, and stopped in front of a row of corpses lying on the ground.
The old man's already hunched back bent even lower, his brows and eyes drooped, he let out a blood-curdling sigh, and murmured: "You are all suffering, you are suffering, you have to wash your clothes and put on food, and you have to go into the house with food.
Let’s be born into a good family in the next life.”
His tone was obviously sympathetic, but the deducers who followed him felt a chill all over their bodies, and they felt that the yin energy around them suddenly became stronger.
After a long while, the old man came to his senses from the corpse and turned to face them again.
"Do you understand what I said? You don't need to worry about the rest. Just the fourteen corpses lying here, they are left to you."
"There is a well outside the door, and everything you need can be found in the wing... When they are all laid to rest... the sun will shine."
Another sigh.
After the old man finished speaking, he returned the same way towards the backyard, as if he no longer cared about what they were going to do.
It wasn't until his figure was obscured by the backyard door and the sound of the wooden pegs jamming into the grooves that the deducers regained their authority to speak.
"...Everyone." Zhao Huaisheng looked at the group of people who were a little slower before entering the righteousness village. "Everyone has seen it. We were probably attracted by the strange moonlight and came to this strange place. Let's regard this as righteousness."
Zhuangba."
"Listen to what the old man said just now, we have to help these corpses to be buried before we can leave this village. I counted, there are fourteen corpses in total, which is equal to the number of us. How about each of us take charge of one corpse?"
Finally everyone gathered together, the live broadcast rooms were merged at this time, and the number of viewers reached an unprecedented peak.
Someone was dumbfounded and asked in confusion on the barrage:
[What about their mission? The old man didn’t explain it clearly. How do they determine what they need to do before leaving?]
[Old man: Do you understand what I said? Me: What did you say?]
[It is not difficult to understand. If you listen carefully, you will find that what the old man said is "wash the filth, put on clothes, and bring food into the house." It refers to the four steps of taking a bath, changing the shroud, putting something in the mouth, and putting it in the coffin.
.]
[Yes, you should be able to leave after completing the four steps. We all understand it. The people here are all big guys. I guess they don’t even have any doubts in their hearts, right?]
[One person corresponds to one corpse, it’s an old routine, but why are there only fourteen? Hey, there is only one person, where is Yu Xing, why isn’t he here?]
[You just discovered that Yu Xing has been in the dark for a long time in the live broadcast room, just after he triggered the group mission.]
[I’m afraid it’s because of the dungeon mechanism or high-ranking presence that the screen in his live broadcast room went black. It’s impossible for him to die.]
What was discussed in the barrage did not raise any doubts in Yizhuang.
Everyone present thought of the answer immediately, but the character still had to be played.
"No, who are you to just accept it like this? It's not your fault!" There are always people who draw the character of the grumpy old man. Cheng, a guest of the Luo family, dressed in a beggar's uniform and bravely said the opposite, "I
I don’t want to be such a good person. I don’t have enough to eat or wear or keep warm these days. How can I think about giving someone else’s death?”
While saying his lines, he moved closer to the gate of Yizhuang. Although he was mentally prepared that the gate would be sealed and unable to be opened, he still reached out and pushed it: "I want to get out of here!"
He exerted force, and the door of Yizhuang instantly bounced out, causing pain to people's eardrums.
...is it really open?
He was stunned and immediately looked outside.
Outside the house, there is a vast plain, and a well stands so abruptly right in front of the door. Looking further, it turns out to be a flat path with trees on both sides, but the height is about the same. Obviously, this is flat land, not a mountain.
The old man mentioned this well, and there was also a part in the mission where they had to bathe the corpse, which meant that they could step out of this door and go to the well. Cheng Yishu did not hesitate and immediately took a few steps outside to observe more carefully.
Read it again.
They're really not on the mountain anymore.
This deduction is really interesting. Can the map change at any time?
Behind Cheng Yiyi, other people came out one after another.
The changes in the environment seem to prove the existence of some evil things, and no one needs to question the old man's words.
Everyone was confused and panicked for a while, and then introduced their identities by saying, "We are all brothers in trouble, we have to work together to get out of here."
Cheng Yiju was really a beggar. He was driven out of town for stealing something from a wealthy family. He didn't want to be beaten to death, so he hid in the woods outside the town. As a result, he got lost and wandered up the mountain in confusion, wandering deeper and deeper.
.
When he was finding his way back to the town, he met Song Xue and Zhao Dongxue, two young ladies who had escaped from the gangster's den. Although the status of the three of them was extremely unequal, it was really dangerous for the two young ladies to be alone in the mountains. He promised that if the beggar would protect them all the way
, will give the beggar a hundred taels of silver after returning home.
So these three people traveled together.
Quinn and Luo Xianchang were part of the bandit den that kidnapped two daughters. However, before coming to Yizhuang, the two of them had not met Song Xue and others. Their identity mission was to go to Fengtou Town.
Rob a caravan that is passing by.
Of all the people, only Siren was still acting alone until tonight.
Her curly silver hair became long and straight in the background of the copy. She was wearing a weird red makeup. She was not dressed luxuriously, but her hair was carefully tied into a beautiful bun. Her makeup was weird, and her fair face was painted with makeup.
She is even whiter, and her lips are as red as a ghost.
With such a representative outfit, everyone knew her identity.
But she didn't say she was a "bride", but called herself a "palanquin girl".
According to her, she fell into a coma for some unknown reason, and when she woke up, she was in a red sedan chair. The bearers carried her forward in silence, without saying a word, day and night.
Every day, only at night, she would get some food handed over by the bearer. She was surrounded by mountains, forests and trees. She tried to escape, but no matter where she ran, the bearer would always appear behind her like a ghost.
He took her back to the sedan without saying a word.
She only knew that she was going to be sent to Yejiang, and she didn't know anything else.
Until tonight, when the moonlight was bright and she was sleeping, she suddenly felt the sedan shaking. When she opened the curtain, she saw that all the bearers were missing, and there was only one light path in front of her.
So she escaped along the light path, entered Yizhuang, and met people with different identities coming from all directions.
At this point, everyone's identity is clear.
An dog god, a saint, a doctor, three merchants, a beggar, a sedan girl, two daughters, two bandits, a master, and an Orion.
There is also a missing escort head.
The seemingly unrelated people gathered here because of the moonlight. They only revealed their identities and did not reveal their respective abilities.
Except for masters who sound like masters upon hearing it.
Among them, there is one exception——
Yu Xing, who started the collective mission, is not here. Where has he gone? He must be in the yizhuang, too. Will he stay in the backyard like the old man?
Everyone had some guesses of their own, but they did not state them in public, but discussed how to fulfill the old man's instructions.
Just as they were chattering and discussing how to get water from the well to bathe the corpses, Zhao Mou calmly came to Zhao Yijiu's side.
He took Zhao Yijiu's arm and looked quite interested: "Hey, who did it with such a severe whip injury? It's so cruel. Do you need me, a doctor, to bandage it for you? If you continue like this, your whole
Every piece of meat will be rotten."
Zhao Yijiu withdrew his arm.
"I have no money."
Zhao Mou was even more happy: "Nothing, how about you find a way to make money when you get to town to pay for the consultation fee, and only add 5 cents of profit?"
Zhao Ruru took a breath of cold air: "Fif points profit? What kind of black-hearted doctor are you? You are just taking advantage of the situation!"
