The ruined temple has not been cleaned for a long time. The corners of the room are covered with spider webs, the ground is full of dust, and broken pieces of mountain god statues are scattered everywhere. It is definitely impossible to sleep in such an environment.
Since he decided to use this dilapidated temple as a temporary base, he must clean up the garbage in the house. Yu Hanjiang looked around, turned to the back of the house, pulled out a bunch of long grass, and made two brooms.
The four of them quickly tidied up the house.
After cleaning the house, Xiao Lou found some hay and spread it on the ground to make a large simple bed. Everyone slept on the hay, which was better than having their backs in direct contact with the cold ground.
At this time, in the floating frame above the four people's heads, the time bar had changed to 3:00 am on the first day of Liuxi Village.
The surroundings were extremely quiet. The other challengers had already left the ruined temple. The four of them were sitting on the ground on the hay. Xiao Lou asked considerately, "Everyone probably hasn't eaten since entering Liuxi Village. Do we want some midnight snacks?"
It was dusk when they were thrown into the village. The villagers were walking around. Everyone hid and observed the situation in the village carefully, and they all forgot about eating.
At this time, when Xiao Lou mentioned it, everyone felt their stomachs growling with hunger.
Ye Qi touched his hungry belly and said, "We have nothing to eat, and this is a small isolated village. Even if Mr. Shao has one million in his card, he can't take it out and use it. Alas, there is
It’s a pity to have nowhere to spend the money.”
Xiao Lou looked at him with a smile, "After clearing the three secret rooms of Spades, didn't you get a supply package as a reward?"
Ye Qi thought of that card and immediately took out the card supply package.
When I opened it, it actually said "You can get mineral water x1, compressed biscuits x1, instant noodles x1", but there was also a line at the end of the card that restricted each secret room world to be used only once.
Ye Qi couldn't help complaining, "Ace of Spades is too stingy. They only give so little food, and each secret room can only be used once. If we use it today, we won't be able to use it again in the next six days."
Xiao Lou said, "This is an emergency supply pack. It is used for emergencies when there is no way to find food. For example, in the future, Ace of Spades may throw us into deserts, snowfields and other environments where it is difficult to find food. By then, this supply will
A bag can save a life.”
Ye Qi nodded, "That's right. It's not difficult to find food in this world. Compared with deserts, snowfields and the like are much better. At least, you don't have to worry about drinking water. There is a mountain spring next to us."
Yu Hanjiang said, "Keep the supply card for now. You can find a bamboo tube to collect spring water. As for food," he turned to look at the moonlight outside the window, stood up and said, "I'll find a way."
Xiao Lou followed him in confusion, "Does Team Yu want to go hunting in the mountains?"
Yu Hanjiang said, "Isn't there a pond in the north of the village? Let's go see if there are any fish. There may be fish in the creek." He paused and said, "The cards you drew can be used. I remember Ye Qi has one
Zhang Guitar can make you fall into drowsiness when you play it. It should also be effective for these animals."
Ye Qi's eyes lit up, "Well, it's a pity that my guitar is an A card, so it's not very powerful and can only sleep for three seconds."
Yu Hanjiang said, "Three seconds is enough."
Shao Qingge chuckled and touched his chin, "No wonder, the local residents always say that we outsiders can do magic, play the guitar, and make fish sleep. It sounds incredible, so I went to have a look."
The four of them went down the mountain together to the pond.
The pond is about one kilometer away from the village. At three o'clock in the morning, the villagers were all asleep. Ye Qi played the guitar gently without worrying about attracting the attention of the villagers. Xiao Lou prepared dozens of rings in advance and placed them
Chain them one by one to make a temporary fishing net.
Yu Hanjiang held a sharp branch in his hand and stared at the clear water.
Under the moonlight, there were indeed some fish swimming fast in the pond. When Yu Hanjiang saw it, he winked at Xiao Lou. Xiao Lou directly threw the ring into the pond, trapping a few fish. Ye Qi followed closely.
I took out my guitar and played it a few times.
After being trapped, the fish running around heard the music and fell asleep at the same time, sinking collectively.
Yu Hanjiang, with his sharp eyesight and quick hands, picked up a branch and thrust it into the pond, accurately inserting two fish.
Ye Qi gave a thumbs up, "This fish is really fat."
Yu Hanjiang said, "Continue."
The three of them cooperated tacitly and caught more than a dozen plump and fresh fish in the blink of an eye.
Shao Qingge couldn't help. He stood by and watched the show. He couldn't help but think that even if he was thrown into the wilderness in the future, he would probably not die of hunger. They used this method to catch fish, and they could catch the fish in the entire pond.
to extinction.
A total of sixteen were caught, but Yu Hanjiang accepted them as soon as he was ready and asked everyone to return to the ruined temple.
The four of them returned home with a full load.
After returning to the ruined temple, Ye Qi looked at the series of big fish lifted by Professor Xiao with a ring, scratched his head and said, "These fish are all raw, how can you eat them?"
Xiao Lou smiled slightly and summoned Bai Juyi.
The Charcoal Seller can generate a ball of charcoal fire anytime and anywhere in any world.
Ye Qi stared at the charcoal fire in front of him with wide eyes, "No wonder Captain Yu said he wanted to catch fish. This can directly roast game."
Xiao Lou smiled and said, "Xiaoye, if you follow us, you don't have to worry about starving. Tomorrow, Captain Yu and I will go to the mountains to catch some pheasants, hares and the like, and roast them for everyone."
Ye Qi ""
Are you here to break through the border, or are you here for a vacation in the mountains?
Following the master, you can actually eat barbecue anytime and anywhere. Ye Qi, who once relied on eating leaves to survive in the nightmare chamber, was so moved that his mouth almost watered down.
Although the charcoal fire generated by Bai Juyi only lasts for 30 minutes, there are many dry branches around. Pick them up and use them as firewood. Before the charcoal fire goes out, use the branches to start the fire, and the fire can keep burning.
Yu Hanjiang removed the internal organs of the fresh fish and washed them. He was obviously very proficient in wilderness survival skills. He found some bamboo tubes, stuffed the fish into them, and grilled them on the fire, so that the fish skin would not be burned.
After a while, the smell of grilled fish filled the air, mixed with the fragrance of bamboo leaves. Yu Hanjiang took the bamboo tube over, handed it to everyone and said, "It's done, eat it."
Ye Qi's eyes were bright as he ate the fresh grilled fish with satisfaction, and suddenly felt that the ruined temple had become extremely friendly.
After the four of them had eaten and drank enough, they grilled a few more fish for food storage, and then fell asleep around the charcoal fire.
The other challengers sleeping in the mountains were shivering due to the cold wind at night. The four of them were in the ruined temple, with soft hay spread under their bodies, a warm charcoal fire beside them, and a supper of fresh grilled fish in a bamboo tube.
, it was a very pleasant sleep.
At eight o'clock the next morning, four people woke up at the same time.
A reminder appeared in the floating box: "The first day in Liuxi Village, 8:00 in the morning, the remaining gems are 5."
This news made the four of them startled, and their sleepiness disappeared instantly.
Ye Qi couldn't believe it and said, "Two gems have been found. Did these people stay up all night last night?"
Xiao Lou frowned slightly, "There are only seven gems, and the number of challengers exceeds 20. In other words, without any accidents, this secret room can only allow 14 people to clear the level at most. There are too many monks and too little food, so naturally the sooner they can find it,
The more precious the gem, the more secure it is.”
Shao Qingge pinched his brows helplessly and said, "However, it would be too risky to go directly to the village to look for it last night, especially the Tibetan Mastiff owned by Mrs. Qin. Once it is disturbed, it is likely to wake up the entire village."
Xiao Lou thought for a while and said, "You don't have to go into the village to look for it. Maybe there are gems outside the village, such as this ruined temple."
Ye Qi was stunned, "But we carefully cleaned the ruined temple last night and searched every corner. There were no gems."
Yu Hanjiang said with certainty, "The gems in the ruined temple must have been taken away."
Ye Qi quickly realized, "What Captain Yu means is that the girl who knew Qinggong yesterday actually found a gem in the ruined temple, so when she saw us coming in, she left in a hurry, fearing that we would snatch her things."
Yu Hanjiang nodded, "It seems so."
Thinking back carefully, the girl was actually very smart. She used "human bones" to change the topic. Everyone's attention was attracted by the human bones in the backyard, but they ignored that since the ruined temple contained important clues, there was a high possibility that there would also be gems needed to clear the level.
.
In order to find gems, challengers will dig up the abnormal ground. When they find the gems, they also discover a large pit where the dead are buried.
She should have found the gems first, and then the human bones. She put up the sky lantern to attract the challengers and used the human bones to divert everyone's attention. Next, she only needed to hide and not be caught by other challengers, and she could successfully pass the level.
She has a card that can fly with the help of trees, making it difficult for others to catch her. Moreover, it is not yet known what the effect of her disguise card is. Last night she was disguised as a little girl in red. If she can disguise herself as
Villager, then she can pass the level 100%.
Ye Qi regretted his mistake and said angrily, "We were all deceived by her. If we had known better, we shouldn't have let her go so easily last night."
Yu Hanjiang looked back at him, "You want to snatch her gem?"
Ye Qi immediately shook his head, "No, how can we, four grown men, bully a little girl and steal her things? I just want to see what the gems look like so that they can be easily found later."
Shao Qingge looked at Ye Qi with a half-smile, looking from head to toe, "Do the four grown men include you?"
Ye Qi was stunned, "Don't you include me?"
Shao Qingge smiled and said, "You are not a man, you can only be regarded as a little boy, from all aspects."
Ye Qi realized that he was laughing at himself for not being mature enough, so he decided to ignore Mr. Shao and turned to find Xiao Lou, "Professor Xiao, where do we go to find gems next, where do you think the gems are more likely to appear?"
Xiao Lou said, "Old Mrs. Qin's house should have one."
When playing stand-alone RPG games, the NPCs with higher difficulty levels will definitely have props in their homes. Mrs. Qin keeps a large and ferocious Tibetan Mastiff. There are either gems or important clues in her home.
Ye Qi said with a headache, "That Tibetan Mastiff has a very keen sense of smell. If we don't deal with it, we won't be able to go in and search it at all if it's around."
Yu Hanjiang walked to the window, glanced at the clear blue sky outside, and said, "Today is a sunny day. The villagers will definitely come out for activities. When Mrs. Qin goes out to walk the dog, we will lurk in. The invisibility cloak obtained by 3 Hearts
It can be used. Half an hour of stealth time is enough for us to search her house."
Ye Qi guessed, "She went out to walk her dog in the evening yesterday. Will she wait until the evening to walk her dog today?"
Shao Qingge suddenly interrupted, "Dog owners usually walk their dogs at a fixed time period, and the best time is after dinner."
Ye Qi looked back at him, "Mr. Shao, have you ever raised a dog?"
Shao Qingge said, "I once raised a Samoyed."
Ye Qi's eyes lit up, "It's that kind of beautiful dog that's all white and looks like it's always smiling."
Shao Qingge nodded, "Yes, you also know Samoyed"
Ye Qi said, "I like dogs very much. I even had a little Teddy before."
The two started chatting about dog breeds, ranging from Samoyeds to Huskies. Xiao Lou couldn't get a word in, so he turned around to find Captain Yu.
The villagers in Liuxi Village seemed to be used to carrying water at night, but the mountains were very quiet in the morning. Yu Hanjiang looked down the mountain and said, "During the day, the villagers are walking around and are easily discovered. We can only move in the evening."
Xiao Lou nodded in agreement, "After Mrs. Qin leads the Tibetan Mastiff out, we will put on the invisibility cloak and search her house."
Yu Hanjiang said, "By the way, let Ye Qi go to the village chief's house, Niuniu's house, and the doctor's mother-in-law's house to place bugs."
Xiao Lou looked back at him, "You mean, these families will have clues."
Yu Hanjiang said, "Do you still remember what happened when we entered the village yesterday? A woman mentioned in a conversation with a man that her daughter Niuniu caught a cold in the rain, and she was going to her mother-in-law to prescribe some medicine. Mrs. Qin discovered that a stranger
Finally, we asked a young man to inform the village chief. These people who mentioned their names and identities should be helpful to us in solving the mystery."
If it were a simple spade chamber, they would only need to avoid the villagers.
But since it is a secret room of hearts and spades, the names and identities of these people also need to be taken care of. Having experienced 3 and 4 of Hearts, Xiao Lou knows that the people whose names are specifically mentioned in the plot of the secret room will definitely not be without them.
effect.
The sick little girl Niuniu, as well as the village doctor and village chief, may be able to help them uncover the mystery of the village that was massacred thirty years ago.
Xiao Lou smiled and said, "Ye Qi's bug seems to be of great help this time."
Yu Hanjiang said, "There is nothing to do next, why don't we go to the mountains to find some game to help improve everyone's food."
Xiao Lou nodded and followed him.
Last night, most of the challengers were resting in the mountains. Along the way, the two of them saw some people sneaking around to collect water from the spring, some making slingshots to shoot birds on the trees, and some climbing trees to find bird eggs. Everyone relied on their abilities.
When looking for food, they have a tacit understanding not to interfere with each other.
The fish caught last night was enough for three days, but eating fish all the time would really make you tired. Since there was no way to enter the village during the day, Yu Hanjiang took Xiao Lou deep into the forest to hunt some pheasants and hares.
Although Yu Hanjiang had a gun, it was daytime, and if he used the gun rashly, he might lead the villagers to the mountains, so Yu Hanjiang decided to use a ring to hunt.
Xiao Lou handed the compass card to Team Yu to operate.
The two of them hid behind a tree and waited patiently.
A moment later, a gray hare came hopping on the grass to look for food. Yu Hanjiang stared at it closely. The moment it stopped, he suddenly controlled the ring and trapped it accurately.
The caught rabbit panicked and couldn't move. Yu Hanjiang walked over and grabbed the rabbit.
At this moment, Xiao Lou's eyes suddenly went dark.
The dizziness in his mind was like cerebral ischemia caused by suddenly standing up after squatting for a long time. Xiao Lou immediately reached out to support the tree next to him, but his eyes were filled with darkness, his right hand was empty, and he tripped on a stone under his feet.
About to fall.
The next moment, his body suddenly fell into someone's arms, and Yu Hanjiang's deep and steady voice sounded in his ears, "Are you okay?"
Xiao Lou smiled bitterly, "I may have been affected by the blindness buff and can't see anything."
A normal person would suddenly lose his sight, and his vision would become dark, and he would inevitably feel fear in his heart. Just now, Xiao Lou almost tripped, but fortunately Yu Hanjiang caught him with his sharp eyesight and quick hands.
Xiao Lou calmed down and found that he was completely in Yu Hanjiang's arms. He could clearly feel the strong muscles on Captain Yu's chest and the steady heartbeat.
He always liked men, but when Yu Hanjiang hugged him so gently, Xiao Lou's breathing suddenly stagnated, and he hurriedly stood up calmly, his heart pounding.
Yu Hanjiang didn't notice anything unusual about him. He stretched out his five fingers and waved them in front of his eyes. He found that Xiao Lou's clear eyes showed no reaction.
Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, "Did you suddenly go blind without any warning?"
Xiao Lou nodded, "Well, I felt dizzy for a while, and suddenly I couldn't see in front of my eyes."
Yu Hanjiang thoughtfully said, "It seems that the prompts when entering Liuxi Village at the beginning are correct. Each challenger will be blind for 3 hours at a random time every day. You will not be able to see anything for the next 3 hours. Let's go back first."
Xiao Lou nodded and asked, "Where was the rabbit just now?"
Yu Hanjiang said, "I caught it. I'll roast it for you when I go back."
After saying that, he stretched out his right arm and let Xiao Lou put his hand on his arm. His voice was low and gentle, "Don't worry, I'll take you away."
Suddenly blinded, the world in front of him was pitch black, and he was in the mountains. Xiao Lou was inevitably nervous and worried that he would fall and roll down.
But Yu Hanjiang was very considerate. He helped him walk slowly and reminded him, "Be careful where you step. This is a downhill slope and there is a step."
Xiao Lou said "Hmm" and tightened his fingers on Yu Hanjiang's right arm slightly.
Strong muscles could be felt on the man's arms. Originally, being blind was a very scary thing, but after holding on to Yu Hanjiang's strong arms and walking for a few steps, Xiao Lou's mood gradually calmed down.
Xiao Lou knew that even if he was blind, he wouldn't have to worry about anything if Yu Hanjiang was there.
Yu Hanjiang will take the initiative to help him move the branches in front of him to prevent him from being scratched by the branches; when crossing the steps, he will remind him in advance to be ready to move his legs; when encountering slippery ground, Yu Hanjiang will also gently hug him
on his shoulders, carry him along
Xiao Lou's eyes were filled with darkness and he could only hold Yu Captain's arm tightly.
When he grew up, ever since he discovered that he liked boys, he would deliberately keep a distance from people of the same sex. This was the first time that he had been so close to a man.
Xiao Lou found that he did not object to Captain Yu's approach at all, but rather liked Captain Yu's reassuring and calm aura.
