"Is it an NPC or a player who died?" Cang Ji sent Chun Sheng to find Ji Yu himself.
Ji Yu is an embalmer. He cannot put makeup on children, but adults can do it.
Aunt Shaozi deliberately introduced her daughter to Wenqiu. Although the two of them had no connection, it was decent to help with makeup.
The village chief took Ji Yu directly to the river and asked him to put makeup on Hong Xiu before the villagers put the body in a coffin and buried it.
Ji Yu glanced at the river ditch behind him and said softly, "The corpse belongs to the NPC, and the soul belongs to the player."
"The NPC has died a long time ago. If a player takes over his identity, it means he dies again." Cang Ji suddenly understood.
Ji Yu laughed and said, "The direction you guessed is right. There is not a single living person in the village."
Cang Xiu was stunned for a few seconds and then sneered, "Including me, right?"
Ji Yu didn't dare to answer the call. He was responsible for whatever happened to the system. It wasn't his fault and he didn't want to attract fire.
Cang Xi scolded the system to vent his anger, and then arranged, "We will continue digging graves tonight. I have a question I want to confirm."
"I'll take you back for dinner first." Ji Yu asked Cang Xi not to rush to work.
Today is only the second day. Even if the villagers have turned into ghosts, they will only hurt the players first and not touch the NPC players.
When the two of them went home, the players were all controlled in the courtyard, and there were NPCs guarding the door to prevent them from going out.
Cang Rao chatted with the guards for a while, tricked them into sending Chunyang, and even gave them a book.
Books are very expensive in this era, because it is easier to find a job if you have knowledge, and you can make more money if you have a good job. Everyone admires scholars.
Qi Zhaoyun was sent here but he didn't understand the situation yet. When he saw Cang Rei, he understood that it was this young man who arranged it again.
Qi Zhaoyun saw Ji Yu who was busy and said to Cang Xi, "You still have time to eat. We have to go to the vigil today."
Cang Ji hummed and said, "Who is going to be buried today?"
"That uncle who smokes." Qi Zhaoyun revealed the matter in a low voice.
The smoking uncle was stabbed to death by his own pipe, his throat was slashed, and his windpipe was torn out.
Chunyang happened to be the uncle's nephew, and he was one of the first people notified to go over to inspect the body.
Cang Xi asked the key point, "Did you listen to what the villagers said, or did you see it yourself?"
"Half listened and half watched." Qi Zhaoyun thought for a while and added, "Chunyang is uncle's nephew."
Cang Fu stared at Qi Zhaoyun and reminded him, "Be careful tonight."
Qi Zhaoyun couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but he wasn't stupid either. Hongxiu died because she was Aunt Shaozi's daughter.
Chunyang is the uncle's nephew. Since he has no children, the nephew can be regarded as the closest descendant.
"Brother Qiu Mu, is there any way to avoid death?" Qi Zhaoyun asked him for help with a shy face.
Cang Rao stared at him and said, "Unless you can destroy the copy."
"Xiu Zi, it's time to eat." Ji Yu called Cang Zi to eat.
Hearing someone calling for dinner, half of the players who were staying in the room came out. They wanted to try to see if they could get some food.
Ji Yu made mashed potatoes, a bowl of mushroom soup with minced meat, and a plate of winter melon with shredded sugar.
"Brother, have you prepared any other food?" Lian Chengxu asked.
"No." Ji Yu replied calmly.
Lian Chengxu was a little unhappy, "Isn't it too much to come to your village to teach and not even care about food?"
Cang Rao gave him a cold look and said, "There are raw materials in the fields. You can pick whatever you want."
Cang Ji refused to eat the food Ji Yu cooked for him. He would rather throw it away than give it to others.
"Ignore them and eat obediently." Ji Yu first gave Cang Xi a piece of winter melon.
With the sweetness, Cang Xi's appetite will be better. After he finishes eating, serve him a bowl of soup and scoop out all the minced meat.
Ji Yu pointed at the mashed potatoes and said, "There's no sugar in the potatoes. If you don't like them, I'll add sugar and fry them into pancakes at night."
Cang Feng dug out a spoonful and ate it. It tasted a bit glutinous, so he poured a spoonful of soup into the winter melon plate.
Ji Yu doesn't care how he eats, as long as Cang Xi is willing to eat, and eats with him without forgetting to pick up some vegetables for him.
Lian Chengxu was completely ignored and laughed at by other players. He was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to flip the table.
Duanmu Jinghe kindly reminded him, "If I were you, I wouldn't provoke them."
The scene last night is still vivid in my mind. Those two people were clearly tigers in human skin, extremely ferocious.
"Coward, get away if you're afraid of death." Lian Chengxu pushed Duanmu Jinghe away angrily.
Qi Zhaoyun opened his mouth but still didn't say anything to remind him that some people want to die, and if they have ideas, they will always do so.
Cang Ji didn't care about what was going on next to him. He continued to eat his food. Ji Yu had already stood up.
Lian Chengxu relied on his muscles and thought that it would be easy to deal with the two NPCs.
Ji Yu took the initiative to walk towards him. Before Lian Chengxu realized what happened, his head and neck moved.
Ji Yu can leave it alone if he says a few words that it's not painful. Anyone who wants to bully him must be prepared to die.
Ji Yu suddenly killed someone, and the girl was so frightened that she screamed and returned to the house. This was much scarier than seeing the coffin.
Cang Fu was a little unhappy when he smelled the blood, "I won't eat it."
Ji Yu froze, not daring to offend his little ancestor, so he could only take out his anger on the corpse and kick his head into the bamboo forest.
"Qiu Mu, I'm here to help. Get ready." Chun Sheng stood at the door and shouted before leaving.
"Okay, don't be angry, go to the dead person's house first." Ji Yu promised to make cakes for Cang Xi tomorrow.
Many people in the village raise chickens. If you find some flour and sugar, you can still make sponge cakes.
Cang Li agreed and asked the player to go over first. He wanted to change clothes, but ended up choosing a bright red gown.
"Xiuzei, isn't it appropriate to wear something like this?" Ji Yu felt that playing like this would definitely arouse hatred.
"Wear red to celebrate." Cang Xiang didn't intend to change it back.
Ji Yu's mouth twitched a few times, "What are you celebrating for? Congratulations on someone dying early?"
Cang Ji murmured softly, "He is already in his forties or fifties, so he is not young anymore."
Ji Yu couldn't control Cang Rao and let him incite the hatred of the NPC. Anyway, with him around, the villagers couldn't bully anyone.
As Ji Yu expected, as soon as Cang Fu arrived at the deceased's house, he was dressed in red and attracted everyone's attention.
The NPCs turned their heads and looked over one by one, wondering if the child was stimulated.
"Qiu Mu, do you have no clothes at home?" the village chief asked suggestively.
Cang Fu waved his hand, "I chose the clothes specially. At this age, uncle is already in mourning."
"I'm wearing red, and I want to congratulate my uncle on his move. Isn't it red when building houses in the village?"
The young man explained his behavior plausibly. He really meant congratulations and did not mean to be disrespectful to the deceased.
The village chief reluctantly accepted Cang Xi's words and did not force him to go home and change clothes. He came anyway.
The village chief explained that the villagers accepted it well. Qiu Mu is a member of the village anyway, so what bad intentions could he have?
However, the player was confused by Cang Xi's behavior. The NPC took the initiative to wear red. What did he want to remind?
Gu Jinong was still trapped in a pile of straw, and the players were led by Nian Yu, the highest level player.
Nian Yu took advantage of the busy NPCs and came over to inquire, "Brother Qiu Mu, do you know where Teacher Gu is?"
Cang Xi hinted, "You guys eat first, and I'll take you to play during the vigil."
Duanmu Jinghe mentioned that the NPC took him to dig a grave in the middle of the night. Nian Yu thought that something important would happen that night, so she stopped talking.
She mentioned something to the players, asking them to eat less because they had something to do in the evening, but she didn't make it clear.
