Yu Hanjiang quickly roasted the hare, and at the same time, he also heated the fish cooked last night on the charcoal fire.
Ye Qi is blind and can only stay with Xiao Lou and chat with Professor Xiao.
Xiao Lou knew that Mr. Shao was not good at the Chamber of Hearts, so he simply told Ye Qi in detail about the two murders that occurred on the "Speed Train", the causes and consequences, and the suspects' testimonies.
Ye Qi was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Those two men are too scumbag, I tell you, they really deserve to die."
Xiao Lou warned, "The names of the characters in the Secret Chamber of Hearts will change. It is very likely that there will be several versions of the case, just like Paper A and Paper B during the exam. After you and Mr. Shao go to the Four of Hearts, remember to carefully analyze the suspects."
People’s testimonies, don’t be confused by them.”
Ye Qi nodded cautiously, "I understand. With this information, it will definitely be much easier for us to solve the case." He scratched the back of his head, suddenly thinking that the two parties should exchange information, and hurriedly said, "By the way, the level of Plum Blossom 4 is very simple.
No one is eliminated, maybe the elimination rate of 4 of hearts and 4 of spades is too high, so the diamonds and clubs in the fourth level are given away."
Xiao Lou asked curiously, "Will we still play cards at Plum Blossom Pass this time?"
Ye Qi said, "Plum Blossom 4 is called Card Flying Chess. You draw cards directly to jump grids. There are some rewards and penalties. The rewards are usually gold coins, or you can directly upgrade the S card to the full level. The punishment will randomly confiscate the cards in your card pack. Purely
A level that depends on luck.”
In this way, the second level is the 2 of clubs, which tests the player's psychological quality and forcibly eliminates the challenger; the third level is the 3 of spades, the financial crisis increases the elimination rate; and in the fourth level, both the 4 of hearts and the 4 of spades are very difficult to eliminate.
Only those with more than 80 challengers can enter the main city.
Xiao Lou thought for a while and said, "There are two main cities, the City of the Sun and the City of the Moon. The King of Poker and Xiao Wu should be in charge. After leaving the 4 of Spades, we have to separate again. After completing the fourth level,
You and Mr. Shao should also choose Moon City, so that the four of us can meet up in the main city again."
Ye Qi wondered, "Why not choose Sun City? It sounds like Sun City will be brighter."
Xiao Lou smiled slightly and said, "Because, Moon City has the largest and most professional casino, and you know Mr. Shao's money-making ability."
Ye Qi suddenly realized, "Oh, Mr. Shao can go to the casino in Moon City to make money. Then let's agree and choose Moon City together."
At this moment, a low voice interrupted them, "What are you talking about? Are you so excited?"
Xiao Lou smelled the aroma of barbecue and said with a smile, "I'm talking to Xiaoye about the 4 of hearts and 4 of clubs. Captain Yu, is your rabbit ready?"
Yu Hanjiang tore off a rabbit leg with the best meat, handed it to Xiao Lou, sat next to him and said, "Okay, eat it."
Xiao Lou took it and took a bite. The meat grilled by Yu Hanjiang was really fragrant and tender. Xiao Lou had never had game barbecue before, so today he was in for a treat. While eating, he praised, "It's so delicious. This is
The best barbecue I’ve ever had.”
Yu Hanjiang looked at his satisfied expression, smiled slightly, and took out the heated fish again. Worried that he would dirty his hands, Yu Hanjiang found another bamboo leaf and put the fish on it, then gently stuffed it into Xiao Lou's hand and whispered
He said, "You won't be full just by eating the rabbit. Let's have another fish."
It was the first time that Xiao Lou experienced the treatment of "opening one's mouth when rice comes". He was taken care of by Yu Hanjiang so considerately, holding rabbit legs in one hand and grilled fish wrapped in bamboo leaves in the other. He was a little embarrassed and hurriedly said, "Ahem,
Ye Qi, you can eat too."
Ye Qi waited for a long time and found that Captain Yu only cared about Professor Xiao and not him. He couldn't see, so he could only wait quietly for feeding.
Only then did Yu Hanjiang realize that he had ignored Xiao Ye, so he tore some rabbit meat and handed it to Ye Qi, "Eat it."
Ye Qi, who finally waited for the food, took it with both hands and said "Thank you Captain Yu" with tears of gratitude.
At this time, Shao Qingge also returned with the water. He whispered, "There are a lot of challengers near the spring. During lunch time, they all came to collect the water. The barbecue we had in the temple may have left a smell. Many people were going here."
Just wait and see.”
Yu Hanjiang said calmly, "There are four of us. The other challengers are in teams of two and two. We don't dare to come in rashly and cause trouble."
Random matching in the Spades Chamber. Like them, they met in the 3 of Spades, discussed in advance to form a team, and happened to be matched with the 4 of Spades at the same time. This kind of group is rare. Currently, apart from the four of them, the challengers of the 4 of Spades are
Others are in teams of two, and people are not united.
As Yu Hanjiang said, the team of four is the strongest team in this secret room, and ordinary challengers would not dare to go head-to-head. On the mountain road just now, it was because Xiao Lou happened to be blind, so the couple wanted to take advantage of others.
Yu Hanjiang said, "Everyone can have lunch in peace first. In the afternoon, when Professor Xiao and Ye Qi's eyes are healed, we will go out again to get a feel for the other challengers."
Shao Qingge felt relieved, sat down cross-legged on the hay, and shared the hare and grilled fish with everyone.
Sweet spring water, fragrant barbecue, Ye Qi eats it with gusto, it's different from following the boss through the level.
The four of them were eating when suddenly two girls walked in cautiously and knocked politely on the door.
Yu Hanjiang frowned and glanced at the door with sharp eyes, "What's going on?"
These two people were the girls who accidentally disturbed the Tibetan Mastiff at Mrs. Qin’s house last night. The girl walking in front had neat short hair and a calmer voice. “I just saw that you had grilled fish. We picked it in the mountains.”
There are a lot of wild fruits and mushrooms, can I trade them with you for a fish?”
Yu Hanjiang leaned into Xiao Lou's ear and whispered, "Do you want to eat wild fruits?"
Xiao Lou thought to himself that eating all meat three times a day would cause indigestion, so it would be better to eat a combination of meat and vegetables. He smiled and nodded, "Let's change it."
Since Xiao Lou wanted to eat, Yu Hanjiang didn't mind exchanging some fruits. He brought two grilled fish from the side and handed them to him. The girl's eyes lit up and she immediately handed a basket of wild fruits and mushrooms to Yu Hanjiang, "Thank you."
Yu Hanjiang asked, "Where did you get this basket?"
The girl said, "We made it ourselves from bamboo."
Yu Hanjiang found that the girls were quite ingenious, so he said, "Give us this basket. I have a way to catch fish. If you still want to eat fish, you can continue to ask us for it tomorrow."
The two girls didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to, and were stunned for a moment.
Soon, they reacted and said excitedly, "That's great. We know there is a place for picking wild fruits in the mountains and forests. In addition to green apples, there are also apricots and pears that are ripe this season. We will pick some more for you in the afternoon."
"Okay, if you still want bamboo baskets, we can make two more. There are a lot of bamboos in the mountains, so it's not difficult to make this."
Yu Hanjiang nodded, "Thank you, then I'll make up two more."
The girl happily left with the grilled fish.
After they left, Ye Qi couldn't help but sigh, "Among the challengers, there are still more normal people. The exchange of materials and information is so mutually beneficial for everyone. Some people insist on grabbing it directly." Obviously, he was worried about someone taking advantage of it.
The incident of Xiao Lou losing his sight and robbing things still bothers him.
Xiao Lou said helplessly, "There are all kinds of people, and we can't control what others think."
Yu Hanjiang washed the fruit with water next to him, handed the largest apple to Xiao Lou, and said softly, "Try it."
Xiao Lou took it over and took a bite. The wild fruit was sour and sweet, and was very crisp to bite. The freshly picked fruit tasted great. This kind of fruit should be very rich in vitamins. Xiao Lou couldn't help but smile and said, "It's quite delicious."
, everyone should eat more wild fruits to help digestion."
Due to his blindness, Xiao Lou gnawed the apple very slowly, which reminded Yu Hanjiang of a small animal obediently lowering its head to eat fruit. Looking back at Ye Qi, he saw that they were two extremes. Ye Qi could not see his eyes.
But his mouth was devouring it like a hungry rat. He clicked an apple in an instant, reached out his hand to touch another, and continued to nibble.
Yu Hanjiang thought to himself that the way Xiao Lou ate was more pleasing to the eye. Ye Qi ate fish and his mouth was full of oil, unlike Professor Xiao, who was polite, could not see his eyes, and did not dirty his mouth.
His hand was holding a rabbit leg just now to eat meat, and his long white fingers were stained with some grease. After Yu Hanjiang waited for him to finish eating, he used a bamboo tube to get some water and asked, "Do you want to wash your hands?"
It would be uncomfortable if your fingers were greasy. I didn't expect Captain Yu to be so attentive. Xiao Lou immediately stood up and said, "Wash it."
Yu Hanjiang said, "Come here."
He took Xiao Lou to the door, asked Xiao Lou to squat down, tilted the bamboo tube at 45 degrees, and gently watered Xiao Lou's hands beside him.
Xiao Lou noticed that the cool water was pouring on his fingertips, so he consciously rubbed his fingers and washed his hands with clean water. The oil on his hands was washed away, and he felt really comfortable all over. Xiao Lou turned back to look at Yu Hanjiang and me, and said with a smile
"Thanks."
Facing his smile, Yu Hanjiang couldn't help but say softly, "You're welcome. You're blind, so I should take care of you."
Ye Qi also ran out to wash his hands. Yu Hanjiang put the bamboo tube into his hand and said, "Wash it yourself."
Shao Qingge stood behind and watched this scene, with a meaningful smile on his face.
After lunch, Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge quickly cleaned up the scene and left the uneaten food in the temple to eat in the evening. Xiao Lou and Ye Qi's eyes still hadn't recovered. Yu Hanjiang suggested, "You guys should just take a nap."
Just wake up and you’ll be fine.”
The two of them couldn't see each other anyway, so they slept in the temple.
Yu Hanjiang walked outside the door, intending to check on the other challengers, but he thought that Xiao Lou and Ye Qi were both blind. If someone came to look for trouble, Shao Qingge might not be able to handle it alone, so he stayed.
Shao Qingge stretched his waist and said, "I also want to lose my sight as soon as possible. After three hours, I will feel at ease. Otherwise, I will have to be worried at all times."
Yu Hanjiang speculated, "The random blindness seems to be based on the team. Professor Xiao and I were in the same team. When he was blind, I was normal, and when Ye Qi was blind, you were also normal. The secret room should not allow two people to be blind at the same time, as that would easily be
The group is destroyed."
Shao Qingge thought for a while and nodded in agreement, "It makes sense. It seems that it will be our turn after their blindness ends."
Xiao Lou and Ye Qi took a nap.
When he woke up, his vision was hazy. Xiao Lou rubbed his eyes vigorously, and his vision finally recovered slowly.
There was only darkness in his field of vision before, but now he could see this colorful world. Xiao Lou felt complicated. He stood up and walked to the door and said, "I can see it now."
Yu Hanjiang stood up immediately and asked with concern, "Are there any sequelae to the eyes?"
Xiao Lou shook his head, "I can see it very clearly, just like before."
After Ye Qi woke up, he also regained his vision. He was so excited that he almost ran around the ruined temple. "It feels so good to be able to see. For three hours, I became blind. I was so anxious that I couldn't find anything when I walked."
I'm afraid of falling. I suddenly feel sympathy for these villagers in Liuxi Village. They haven't been able to see them since they were young. This is too tragic."
Xiao Lou suddenly said, "I thought about it carefully just now. When entering the secret room, there should be a message to mislead us."
Ye Qi was stunned and said, "Did Professor Xiao find something wrong?"
Xiao Lou said seriously, "If it is really blindness caused by genetic inheritance, as far as I know, the most easily inherited disease is called retinitis pigmentosa, but this disease is not blind since birth, but night blindness at the beginning, and you cannot see at night.
As we age, our field of vision gradually shrinks, eventually leading to blindness."
Hearing what Xiao Lou said, Yu Hanjiang quickly grasped the key: "You mean, the fact that the whole village is blind is not because of genetic inheritance, which is what happened when entering the secret room. Because genetic inheritance is actually misleading."
Xiao Lou nodded, "Yes. From the perspective of medical genetics, there are dominant inheritance, with a probability of 50%; recessive inheritance, with a probability of 25%;
The genetic disease that is inherited by 100 men and women and is congenitally blind does not exist. The words when entering the secret room were misleading information."
Ye Qi was confused when he heard this, and Shao Qingge rubbed his temples with a headache. Only Yu Hanjiang quickly understood what Xiao Lou meant and said, "The blindness of the villagers is caused by man-made drugs. It is more likely that they used some kind of medicine."
Ye Qi scratched his head in confusion, "But if the blindness is acquired, wouldn't it be strange if these people could see but suddenly lost sight? Isn't it strange that no one is investigating the cause?"
Xiao Lou looked back at him and said, "What if he attacks pregnant women or babies?"
The three people were suddenly startled.
Attacking pregnant women, causing the child to be blind at birth, sounds like congenital inheritance, but it is actually a malformation caused by drugs; attacking babies, even if the baby can see things at first, is made blind by drugs, what about children under three years old?
They don’t understand, and they don’t remember that they could see in the beginning. If they become blind when they grow up, they will naturally not investigate and investigate.
Yu Hanjiang's face instantly became terrifyingly gloomy, "It's so cruel to attack pregnant women and babies."
Ye Qi's face turned slightly pale, "Well, it seems that this murderer has been lurking in the village for a long time, so that all the people in the village, generation after generation, are affected by the drug and become blind."
Shao Qingge asked curiously, "Is there such a medicine that can cause blindness in babies?"
Xiao Lou nodded, "A lot. As long as drugs affect the optic nerve, retina, or act on the cornea to cause corneal opacity, long-term use can cause blindness in both eyes."
The four of them fell silent at the same time.
As the girl said last night, in the 4 of Spades secret room, if you want to simply clear the level, you only need to avoid the villagers and find a gem; but if you want to completely clear the level, you must uncover the secret of the villagers' blindness.
Yu Hanjiang glanced at the sky and whispered, "In the evening, the four of us acted together. Professor Xiao and I went to Mrs. Qin's house to investigate. Ye Qi and Mr. Shao took the teleportation cards and tried to find a way to get to the three important people I marked.
A bug is placed in the house. Professor Xiao has opened a peach blossom garden in advance. If any of us are in danger, we will immediately forcibly transmit it."
Ye Qi was worried and said, "If we can act separately, how will we communicate with each other?"
Xiao Lou took out Qin Guan's card, "It allows Qin Guan to establish a telepathic channel and keep in touch at any time."
Ye Qi's eyes widened and he said, "Anything is fine."
Xiao Lou smiled helplessly, "I don't know how lucky I am, I always draw character cards. The skill description is very strange, but it is actually very useful. Qin Guan's telepathy can also establish connections across secret rooms."
The four of them discussed the countermeasures and then went outside to check out the situation.
The challengers did not dare to enter the village during the day. Most of them hid in the mountains looking for food and did not interfere with each other. After all, it was only the first day, so there was no need to be too aggressive. As for the two gems, except for the ones in the temple, they should be destroyed by the ones from last night.
In addition to the girl taking it, no one knows exactly who has it or where it was found.
In the afternoon, Shao Qingge also obtained the blindness buff, and the four of them returned to the ruined temple.
It was dusk when Shao Qingge regained his vision.
Among the four, only Yu Hanjiang was not affected by the blindness. Yu Hanjiang was worried about an accident when he was acting, so he told Xiao Lou, "Once I lose my sight in the middle of the journey, you can directly send me back to the Peach Blossom Spring to avoid any accident that will harm you."
Xiao Lou nodded seriously, "Don't worry, we won't be discovered if we go in wearing the invisibility cloak."
At dusk, people in the village began to get busy. Many men carried burdens to the mountain to collect water. Carrying water in the evening seemed to be the habit of the villagers. The challengers were worried that they would be discovered, so they all climbed to the top of the mountain. Yu Hanjiang and the four others also arrived early
Dissipate the smell of grilled fish in the temple and close the door of the ruined temple tightly.
18:30 in the evening.
Ye Qi and Shao Qingge, who were conducting reconnaissance around the village with the teleportation card, sent a message to Xiao Lou through the telepathic channel, "Mrs. Qin went out with her dog."
Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang, who simply nodded "action."
The two of them put on their invisibility cloaks at the same time, quickly went down the mountain, and quietly entered Mrs. Qin's house.
At this moment, they noticed a strange air current surging next to them. Yu Hanjiang lowered his voice alertly, "Who?"
A young man's cold voice came to his ears, "We also have invisibility cloaks. Whether we can find the gems depends on our own abilities, but we must make an appointment in advance not to do anything here. You should know the consequences of alerting the villagers."
It seems like this is a smart challenger.
Once the villagers are alerted, the result is likely to be that the challengers in the village will be wiped out collectively.
Yu Hanjiang nodded, "Okay, let's find things according to our abilities and don't make too much noise."
The other party said, "You too."
The four of them all wore invisibility cloaks and could only see each other as a ball of air. But Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang had been walking side by side. Even if they couldn't see each other, they could still feel the familiar aura around them.
Just as Xiao Lou was about to take action, he heard Yu Hanjiang suddenly whisper in his ear, "Go to the kitchen, something's not right over there."
