Liu Xing was about to say something, but he saw Alice appearing in his field of vision, but there was another maid beside her, so Liu Xing and Yin En both stopped talking and began to pay attention to their
dynamic.
As a result, Alice and the two found the chef in the cafeteria and took away many sets of dishes and chopsticks, apparently planning to start a small stove in the orchard.
Because there were NPCs present, Alice did not stay to talk to Liu Xing and others, but went back directly.
"We have to find a way to talk to that maid."
Yin En said seriously: "If nothing else happens, she should join our alliance. Then we can use her to understand Liang Wan'er's various situations, but I am very worried about one problem now, and that is this player
She may be a special player like Liu Qindong, and her own mission is to unconditionally assist Liang Waner and ensure that Liang Waner can survive until the end of the module."
"It is indeed possible, because apart from this player, there seems to be no other players among Liang Waner's maids, so she may indeed be a special player, but as long as she joins the alliance, it will be fine, not to mention
We won't do anything bad to Liang Wan'er, the most we can do is bring her and Young Master Ying together."
As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, he suddenly felt like the world was spinning, everything in front of him instantly became blurry, and the sounds in his ears disappeared.
What's happening here?
Before Liu Xing had time to react, a sea suddenly appeared in front of him.
ah?
Did you teleport?
In the next second, Liu Xing saw a canoe appearing in the distance, with two people on it having a heated conversation. However, because the distance was still relatively far, Liu Xing could not hear what they were saying, but he could
From the body movements of the two people, it can be seen that they are a little excited, and there is a box behind one of them, which should contain something.
Seeing this situation, Liu Xing finally reacted and realized that the box should contain a statue of a clone of Nyarlathotep, and the man in front of the box was the owner of the statue, but he should now
It's already cold.
As expected, the conflict between the two people quickly evolved from words to physical actions, but the man in front of the box took out his weapon in advance, which was the wooden oar on the canoe, hoping to knock the man in front of him into the water.
However, the person in front of him was unambiguous and threw something casually, causing the person to fall backwards and finally fell into the water with the box.
After falling into the water, the box suddenly opened for some unknown reason, and the contents inside fell out.
As expected by Liu Xing, the box contained exactly a statue, but because it was a bit far away, Liu Xing could only confirm that the statue was in human form.
So is this the statue of Ao Guanhai?
Before Liu Xing could think about it, the statue melted directly into the water and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Then, Liu Xing closed and opened his eyes again, and Yin En and Liu Qindong appeared in front of him with anxious expressions.
Looking at Liu Xing who opened his eyes, Liu Qindong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Liu Xing, what's wrong with you? Just now, you suddenly closed your eyes, and then fell to the ground in a daze. I thought you had this character card."
It's epilepsy."
Liu Xing shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's okay, I just encountered some minor problems. When you were in my house just now, you should have seen a statue of Yehou."
"Of course I saw it, but I also know about the Night Howl statue. After all, which player in the alliance doesn't know that the leader has such a statue? So although I didn't go to the teahouse at the time, I learned about it later.
What happened in the teahouse?"
Liu Qindong nodded and asked curiously: "So Liu Xing, what's your situation now? Why did you suddenly faint? Is it a side effect of the Yehou statue?"
"Almost, this is already the second time."
Liu Xing frowned and said: "So far, I haven't figured out what this Yehou statue is used for, because apart from the settings you know, this Yehou statue has no other explicit content.
So I knew that I had to make sure that the Yehou statue was not too far away from me. I didn’t know anything else. I could only wait for it to enter the second stage on its own, if there was one. As for why I had a sudden convulsion just now, it was because of other reasons.
The player with the same statue ripped the card, so I went straight to the replay screen."
"So that's it. I've also heard that in addition to this statue, there are eight statues with the same appearance as Nyarlathotep's avatar, so will this be a knockout? When the number of players holding statues comes to
When there are six or five people, the second stage will be started and the corresponding tasks will be triggered?" Liu Qindong continued to ask.
Liu Xing shrugged, took a sip of water and said: "That's not clear. In short, I can only take a step at a time, because my understanding of it is really limited."
At this time, a group of people led several cattle and sheep to the entrance of the canteen.
"What's happening here?"
Liu Xing looked at the leader and asked: "Brother Bai, what are you doing? There seems to be no shortage of meat in our canteen?"
The Brother Bai mentioned by Liu Xing is Baihe City's cousin in this martial arts module - Bai Xu. He is also a steward of the Bai family ranch and is mainly responsible for selling the livestock in the ranch, so Liu Xing thinks that Bai Xu is here.
Selling things.
It is worth mentioning that Bai Xu's father suddenly disappeared many years ago. It is said that he went to other places to do business with a caravan, but there was no news after that.
"It's like this. Didn't the third prince's fiancée come to our Tianshui Town? So my uncle asked me to send some cattle and sheep to express his feelings and make tonight's bonfire party more lively." Bai Xu said with a smile.
In this case, Liu Xing naturally nodded and accepted, "Okay, I will accept these cattle and sheep on behalf of Young Master Ying first. I will definitely give you a nice word for the Bai family later. Then Lao Bai will have them."
There’s another chance to level up.”
At this time, Baihe City can also be regarded as Gongzi Ying's client, so going to Far West City can be regarded as obeying Gongzi Ying's order and helping Gongzi Ying manage a business. This can also be regarded as a layer of insurance for Baihe City and other players, and they can be used when necessary.
Ask the prefect or Wu Tai for help.
However, in the eyes of the NPCs of the Bai family, their eldest young master has been favored by Young Master Ying, and he is the disciple of the third prince, so this can be regarded as a step to the sky. After all, although the Bai family has a rich family fortune, there is a saying
It is said that "the wealth of a family is huge, and the fur is not counted." Therefore, a family like the Bai family that only runs ranches may fall into ruin at any time and lose everything.
After all, the biggest problem in the breeding industry is that the ability to resist risks is too weak. As long as one livestock gets sick, the entire ranch may collapse.
Therefore, the Bai family has very high expectations for Baihe City. At the same time, they want to curry favor with Young Master Ying, but they do not dare to meet Young Master Ying casually. After all, the gap between the two is really big, so the Bai family
He can only show his favor to Young Master Ying through Liu Xing.
Of course, Liu Xing was also happy.
Hearing what Liu Xing said, Bai Xu smiled even more happily, and then ordered people to tie the cattle and sheep at the door of the canteen, and called the chef in the canteen to come out and cook the cattle.
After busying themselves for a while, Bai Xucai wiped his sweat and sat down in front of Liu Xing, and drank tea politely.
Yes, Bai Xu and "Liu Peng" have a pretty good relationship. Because Bai Xu had a high fever when he was a child, his physical condition was a bit weak, so he often came to Liu Nan to prescribe some tonics; therefore, if Bai Xu couldn't come in person
, or if something happens and you leave early, "Liu Peng" will send the tonic over, so after this back and forth, "Liu Peng" and Bai Xu became friends.
Ever since, Bai Xu would sometimes bring some ingredients to "Liu Peng", and the two of them would stew them in a medicinal-smelling casserole in the backyard of the hospital.
"Apeng, is there any news about my cousin in Far West City? I heard that many people in Far West City have chosen to leave. After all, Far West City is notoriously easy to attack and difficult to defend." Bai Xu was a little worried.
said.
Liu Xing smiled and poured a cup of tea for Bai Xu himself, "Don't worry, Lao Bai is not only the retainer of Young Master Ying, but also the son-in-law of the gate captain of Far West City, so if something happens, Lao Bai will definitely
Come back safely, after all, there are several cities ahead."
"Well, I hope so."
Bai Xu looked around, and then looked at the only stranger present - Liu Qindong.
Seeing this situation, Liu Xing knew that Bai Xu wanted to say something to him, but he didn't know whether Liu Qindong in front of him was reliable.
"Brother Xu, just say it straight. This is a good brother of mine and he won't talk nonsense." Liu Xing said with a smile.
Hearing what Liu Xing said, Bai Xu nodded and said: "Here's the thing, hasn't there been any news from my father for many years? As a result, a flying pigeon letter was delivered to Heshan County two days ago. The person who called the letter called himself
It's my father."
"Oh? That's a good thing, so what did your father say in the letter?" Liu Xing asked curiously.
Bai Xu took out a letter from his arms with some embarrassment, shook his head and said: "Apeng, you don't know, I can only write a few words, so I can't understand the content of this letter.
And you also know that when my father disappeared, he also took away a lot of money in the accounting room, so I didn't dare to tell my uncle about it."
Liu Xing nodded, then took the letter and read it.
"The tone of this letter is indeed written according to the tone of your father, Brother Xu, and the content is quite simple. There has been no contact for so many years, but your father still misses you very much, and then there is nothing more."
After Liu Xing put down the letter, he said with some confusion: "Fei Ge's letter has a big limit on the number of words, so the content of such a letter will not be too much, so many people will try their best to state the key points in the letter.
But the content of this letter can only be described as ordinary... So logically speaking, if your father, Brother Xu, just wanted to exchange a few words, he should have sent an ordinary letter instead of this
A letter sent by a flying pigeon."
"Yes, flying pigeon letters are suitable for conveying some important or urgent information, but such an ordinary letter home is a bit fussy." Yin En agreed.
Bai Xu nodded and said with a puzzled look on his face: "So that's it. I thought my father wanted to come back, or that he wanted me to see him, so when I received this Fei Ge Biography
I hesitated for a while after writing the letter, not knowing what to do... But then again, I remember that flying pigeons to pass letters can determine the location of the sender? So A Peng, can you tell? "
Liu Xing glanced at the mark on the letter, nodded and said: "If nothing else, this letter comes from Ax City, because the ax mark in Ax City is very special, everyone can recognize it at a glance, but this
Ax City is quite far away from us, and there isn’t much business there, right?”
The Ax City in Liu Xing's mouth sounds like a city specializing in making and selling axes, but in fact the Ax City was named because there is a lake connected to a river nearby, which looks like an axe. As for
In other aspects, it stands out and is unremarkable.
"Axe City? I remember that my father had a friend who lived there. However, my father's relationship with his friend was quite normal. It seems that he wouldn't go to him specifically to seek refuge."
Bai Xu frowned and said: "So if this letter is really written by my father, then why didn't he come back directly? Ax City is indeed a bit far away from us, but the cost of sending this flying pigeon letter is enough for him
Came back by carriage."
"Uh, brother Xu, didn't you say that your father left without saying goodbye and took some money from the accounting room, so it's normal for him not to come back now, right?" Liu Xing asked curiously.
Bai Xu shook his head and said seriously: "My father did something wrong, but the money he took away was not much. It was basically the same as the remuneration and dividends he deserved every year! Because we are a family,
So the accounts are settled at the end of the year. If you need money, you can get it from the accountant. Therefore, when my father disappeared, although my uncle and others knew that he took some money and left, they also felt that my father might
I used the money to do business, so I didn’t pay much attention to it at the beginning.”
"So my uncle has said many times that if my father wants to come back, he will never say anything, because it is not a big deal, not to mention that I have not been affected for so many years; and he
My health has not been very good recently, so I wanted to see my father, his biological brother again, after all, blood is thicker than water!"
