Chapter 700: There Are Clear Injustices in the River (13)
Cang Fu pulled the man down the mountain. The river god was not restricted by the rules and could leave the scope of the ancestral hall.
Cang Fei held the man's hand. He held the candle and was still trying to light the way for the little cutie. If he was nervous, he might fall.
Cang Fei hummed a tune in a good mood, walked along the river bank with the man, and then watched the bones come ashore.
Bones are free in the water, but move slowly when they reach the shore. Follow the marks to find them in the player's yard.
It's a pity that they couldn't enter the yard today because there were many thorn bushes growing outside the fence and the bones were stuck.
"It turns out that we can really stop it." Cang Fu laughed softly.
"Did you do it?" The man looked at the bones being stuck with interest.
Cang Fei looked at the man sideways, "What, do you want to avenge your companions?"
The man shook his head and chuckled, "As long as you are happy."
Cang Rao specially asked Jing Yuxing to use props to induce birth. The thorn bushes surrounded the courtyard, and the bones couldn't fly and couldn't get in.
"Jing Yuxing, bring people out to watch the fun." Cang Xiu called into the room.
"Brother Zang, are you okay?" Jing Yuxing ran out and asked.
Fan Qi followed up and asked, "Brother Zang, do you want me to jump out and help you?"
The players all ran out and saw the bones struggling among the thorn bushes. They couldn't help laughing, and the horror game turned into a funny game.
"I didn't fight with Baigu." Cang Xi said, "I'll go to the village first and come back in the morning."
"Nothing will happen tonight. You go to bed first. I will take you to play in Boda tomorrow."
"Can you do it alone?" Jing Yuxing asked a little worried.
"No need to help." Cang Xiu refused their kindness and pulled the man away.
They went to the village. Cang Fu might not be able to enter alone, but with the river god taking him, he could go wherever he wanted.
The village is a bit dilapidated. From the outside, it looks like it has been abandoned and uninhabited for hundreds of years. The smell of rot is assailed.
"Is there really anyone living in this village?" Cang Fu was very doubtful.
He has seen disaster areas in the interstellar world. Although life is hard, there are still traces of the warmth of human life.
This village is so dilapidated that even ghosts don’t want to visit it. I’m afraid the villagers have moved away long ago, right?
The current NPCs include the uncle and the mother-in-law. At first, Cang Xi was restricted by the rules when he was still a villager.
After visiting the lair of the River God, he wanted to come over and have a look at the village. He thought Jing Yuxing would be useful, but in the end his trip was in vain.
During the day, players are restricted by the rules, the local spirits cannot show up, and the uncle refuses to lead the way, so Cang Xi cannot come to the village.
I thought I could get some useful clues, but it turned out that he was too naive, and the B-level dungeon system was really stingy.
"Maybe I want you to come over during the day," the man reminded.
The village is divided into day and night. The day is for humans and the night is for ghosts.
Why do ghosts and monsters only attack the courtyard where people live? It's because the situation in the village has become like this.
"Do you remember?" Cang Rao asked the man sideways.
The man shook his head, stared at Cang Xi and said, "I thought it would be like this, so I said it."
Cang Ji snorted, took the man's hand and said, "We can't see the village, so go to the river to see it."
Cang Fu's hearing is very strong. If there are people living in the village, even if no one talks, the sound of his heartbeat cannot be hidden from him.
No sound was heard, not even the chirping of insects. This kind of village might not even be considered a ghost village.
There is no need to search. It is better to go to the bottom of the river and look at the bones. Maybe you can find someone who can communicate with them.
Cang Fu and the man were waiting by the river. When they saw Bai Gu coming back, they secretly hid aside and watched.
The bones that stepped into the water returned to flesh and blood one by one. When they entered the water, there was another scene of death.
The floating corpses were extremely swollen, they died in the same way, and they all had no faces.
I heard that water ghosts have no way to reincarnate. These brides all drowned in the same way. Could it be that one of them is harming the other?
If the bride's death had nothing to do with the river god, could it be that the villagers had some shameful dirty deeds?
The more Cang Fu thought about it, the more he wanted to go into the village to look for clues, but the rules restricted him. Even if he couldn't bear it, he could only wait.
"Are you unhappy?" The man reached out and touched Cang Xi's eyebrows.
"Don't talk to me now." Cang Xiu didn't want to joke at the moment.
The task information arranged by the garbage system is incomplete, it is not interesting to play, and the clues are too scattered.
The man realized that Cang Xiu was really in a bad mood. He raised his hand and waved gently towards the river.
A picture appeared in front of Cang Xi. It was a long time ago, and the scenery in the village was still normal.
The picture is shown in the form of a story. It hasn't rained in this village for half a year, and the villagers began to dig ditches to find water sources.
Later, someone heard the news that if you wanted to make a sacrifice, you could pray for rain, so the villagers buried a fool alive.
The fool was an orphan in the village. He could not find a wife when he was almost thirty, and he would not have any relatives to feel sorry for him when he died.
After burying the fool alive at the bottom of the river, it rained as expected.
The villagers were happy at first, but they began to worry when they found out that it was raining non-stop.
The villagers began to move to the top of the mountain, but unfortunately it still rained. Some people suggested paying homage to the river god and giving him a bride.
The villagers went to tie up a lonely girl in a distant place. Later, when the rain reached the mountainside, they could not get out and began to sacrifice the girls in the village.
The strange thing is that the rain stopped. The villagers thought that the water would recede, but it turned out that the water level would never disappear.
Every other year, the villagers must sacrifice a bride to the river god, otherwise it will rain continuously every time.
People who pray for rain kill people, and people who pray for rain to stop still kill people. This village is simply bringing its own consequences.
After reading this story, Cang Ji felt that the villagers were trapped in a cocoon and did not deserve any sympathy.
"Xianpi, don't be unhappy, this is a plot requirement." Ji Yu rubbed Cangpi's hair.
Cang Fei's eyes lit up, "Have you recovered your memory?"
Ji Yu said helplessly, "I used the supervisor's authority."
"The River God has no memory for the time being. There is still one night left. If you are so smart, you will definitely be able to think of a solution."
Seeing Cang Fei's angry look, Ji Yu didn't want him to be angry, so the sealed memory was automatically unlocked.
"Why are you so close?" Cang Xiu pushed Ji Yu away.
Ji Yu came closer again and said, "As I said, I can kiss you after my memory is restored."
"Aren't you the River God?" Cang Li didn't like close contact with outsiders.
"My real body is me, and I'm just a river god on the surface." Ji Yu said close to him, "My husband's situation is the same as the one I recruited."
The player's body is a mask cast by the system. Others see it differently, but in fact the player is still the same person.
The B-level dungeon system does not have the ability to change souls and bodies, and it requires a lot of points, which it is reluctant to part with.
Hearing Ji Yu say that it was his true body, Cang Ji didn't respond any longer. When he came over to kiss him, he even took the initiative to put his arms around his neck.
Ji Yu's kiss was gentle and delicate, with a little bit of a lost and found mentality, and Cang Xi couldn't refuse him.
The couple went to the river bank to kiss, forgetting that there were a bunch of dead brides beside them. It was too much to torture the dog.
Cang Ji didn't bother to care about the fake brides, so he jumped up and hung on Ji Yu, asking him to take him back to sleep.
Ji Yu was still a little charming at first, but when she heard Cang Fei's breathing, she realized that the sleep he was talking about was just sleep.
"You little heartless one." Ji Yu gently slapped Cang Fei's butt.
Afraid of waking people up, he deliberately walked very slowly when going up the mountain, so slowly that the people in his arms didn't notice he was moving.
