Mrs. Qin and Granny Sun quickly left the ruined temple.
The two untied the ropes that tied the dogs and opened the fence that enclosed the roosters. A large group of chickens and dogs followed them and poured out of the ruined temple. The surrounding area was filled with "cooing" and "barking" sounds, which were louder than the wet market.
lively.
Those dogs will all recognize their owners. After being let go, they will all run to find their owners and rub their heads on their owners' thighs. The villagers in Liuxi Village excitedly touched their dogs' heads, as if they had found long-lost relatives.
For blind people, dogs are the best companions. They can not only help them look after their homes, but also accompany them to find the way and act as "guide dogs".
The young woman touched her pet dog and asked, "Aunt Qin, Grandma Sun, are you okay?"
People nearby also asked about the situation in the temple, "Didn't the outsiders make things difficult for you?" "Why did they take our dogs? Why do they keep all the dogs here?" "I thought they were going to kill the roosters to make soup.
, kill the dogs and eat barbecue, why are all these dogs okay?”
Everyone obviously did not understand the challengers' thinking, and subconsciously thought that the other party stole chickens and dogs for food.
Old Mrs. Qin said coldly, "They stole the rooster just so that we couldn't hear the rooster crow in the morning and couldn't get up on time; they tied all the dogs on the west mountain so that they wouldn't be discovered when they entered the village to steal things. They really
What I want are the gems from our village. Those stones are priceless and can be sold for a lot of money."
Granny Sun agreed, "Yes, no one is here. They may have left with the gems."
A young man suddenly said, "Too bad our gems are hidden under the bed. I didn't check them when I got up this morning. Could they have been stolen as well? Will my wife be okay?"
Grandma Sun turned around and said, "Go and have a look. Your wife is going to give birth in the next few days. Don't worry about the fetal force."
The man immediately took the dog and walked out of the field, turned around and went down the mountain.
The man's name is Lin Er, and he is the "second brother" who talked to Niu Niu's mother in the village on the first day he entered the village. His wife is the village chief's cousin Liu Hui, and she will give birth in a few days. This information about the village
The director has already revealed it to Xiao Lou and the others.
Liu Hui is the only one in the village who is about to give birth to a baby, so it's easy to tell.
As Lin Er went down the mountain, the others followed Aunt Qin and the others slowly down the mountain.
A group of blind men led dogs, accompanied by a big rooster. The scene was extremely spectacular.
The challengers hiding on the roof of the ruined temple finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The young man lying next to Yu Hanjiang said, "Guys, do you really have gems?"
Yu Hanjiang clenched a dark green cat's eye stone, opened his palm to look at him, and quickly took it back.
The other party was relieved and said, "Then don't worry about being robbed by you. Since everyone has it, let's talk about cooperation."
Yu Hanjiang glanced at the four people and asked, "Do you know each other?"
The man nodded, "Well, we know each other in real life."
Xiao Lou smiled and reminded, "It's not convenient to lie on the roof and chat. How about everyone go down first?"
Everyone took a closer look at the seven people lying side by side. Their postures were very weird. When chatting, they had to twist their necks 90 degrees to look at each other. It was really uncomfortable. The man seemed to have a jump card. When he heard this, he immediately jumped down with his companions.
After reaching the roof, Liu Qiao flew down with the help of trees. Yu Hanjiang grabbed the tree trunk with one hand, kicked lightly with his long legs, and fell to the ground.
Xiao Lou looked at the ground with some embarrassment. He had just been pulled up from the big tree by Team Yu. The roof was more than three meters high. If he jumped down directly, he would definitely injure his feet. Just as he was hesitating, he saw Yu Hanjiang raise his head and face Xiao Lou.
He stretched out his hand and said, "You jump, I will catch you."
Xiao Lou didn't hesitate anymore and jumped directly.
Yu Hanjiang stretched out his hands to catch him steadily. However, when Xiao Lou jumped, his whole body fell directly into Captain Yu's arms due to gravity, and was wrapped in the man's familiar aura. This made Xiao Lou's
His heartbeat was inexplicably slow. He quickly took a step back and stood still, pretending to be relaxed and said, "Thank you."
Yu Hanjiang nodded at Xiao Lou with gentle eyes, and then looked at the four strangers.
There were three men and one woman. Among them, the man who talked to Yu Hanjiang was about 25 years old and looked very decent. The other was a middle-aged man about 40 years old. His chin was covered with stubble, which he obviously hadn’t cleaned up for a long time. He kept silent and looked at it.
It looks more calm. The combination of a man and a woman should be a couple or partners, dressed young and fashionable.
The curly-haired woman smiled and said, "The four of us are actually from the same design company. An accident happened when we went on a group trip after the New Year. We happened to meet each other at the Four of Spades."
The young man introduced, "This is our design director Lao Qi. This Xiao Wu and Xiao Li are newlyweds. My surname is Zhou."
Xiao Lou also smiled and introduced, "This old Han, my name is Yunxiao, this guy named Qiao is a college student, and we have a teammate outside the village."
He once again used the pseudonym used in the 3 of Spades Chamber of Secrets, also to avoid causing trouble if his real name was known.
After introducing each other, Xiao Lou asked, "How many clues do you have so far?"
The curly-haired woman surnamed Li said, "We found the gems at Lin Er's house in the east end of the village. His wife was pregnant and about to give birth. While he was going for a walk with his wife, we searched his house and found some things on the bed.
A gem was found underneath.”
The young man said, "Our gem was found at Mrs. Qin's house, and we happened to bump into it at that time. You couldn't find it at Mrs. Qin's house. Where did this one come from?"
Xiao Lou said, "I found two in the farmland to the east, one dark green and one almost transparent white."
The woman explained, "This is cat's eye stone. We suspect it is a bracelet, and the color of each stone is different. We found blue and brown, you have dark green and transparent colors, and there should be red and gold."
, white did not appear.”
The golden one is in Liu Qiao's hands, but Xiao Lou has no intention of exposing the truth of Liu Qiao's solo actions.
As for the red one, it was the one found in the pond and snatched away by the masked man. The white one was probably taken out of the village by the chameleon man and the zombie jumping woman.
Mr. Zhou picked up a branch and squatted down to draw a picture on the ground. "The first one should be in the ruined temple. Three of them appeared in Mrs. Qin's house, the village chief's house, Lin's house who was about to have a baby, and two in the house outside the village."
When these six farmland are connected, don’t you think the shape is a bit strange? Where will the last one be?”
Xiao Lou picked up the branch and clicked at the intersection of the three lines, "In the pond. The seven gems are distributed in a herringbone shape."
This was what they had guessed a long time ago. The four of them were obviously still unclear. After seeing the figure, they suddenly realized that "the head is on the west mountain, the feet are on the farmland, and the herringbone is lying across the village."
Xiao Lou nodded, "Yes. What other clues did you find?"
The curly-haired woman said, "Lin Er's wife's name is Huihui. Her due date is three days later. She is in poor health and has been taking anti-fetal medicine. We checked the dregs of medicine she dumped in the yard. There are human bones and many unknowns in them.
Chinese herbal medicine, we speculate that this herbal medicine may cause fetal eye malformation."
Although the methods of these four people were different from Xiao Lou and others, they roughly guessed the problem of Grandma Sun and Old Mrs. Qin. Moreover, they stole all the roosters and dogs and tied them in the ruined temple to lure the villagers over. Old Mrs. Qin and
Grandma Sun's conversation in front of the human bone pit revealed a lot of key information. It can be said that the person who came up with the idea to steal the rooster was indispensable.
Xiao Lou rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "Judging from the conversation between Qin and Sun just now, Grandma Sun may have planned to massacre the village on the day of the Autumn Harvest Festival."
The curly-haired woman's eyes widened and she "slaughtered the village"
Yu Hanjiang understood what Xiao Lou meant and said, "Just now, Granny Sun said that she was tired after so many years, and she would give everyone a break on the anniversary of her daughter's death. Don't you still understand what she meant by break up?"
The curly-haired woman was stunned for a moment. Lao Qi, who had never spoken a word, suddenly said, "Grandma Sun's hatred for this village has not subsided. She still misses her daughter. She will definitely massacre the village again and let the whole village be buried with her daughter."
"
The faces of the three people changed, and the curly-haired woman couldn't believe it, "Old Qi, are you serious? There are hundreds of households in this village, with a population of nearly three hundred. Even if these people can't see, Granny Sun, an old lady, wants to kill them all."
It must be very difficult for the villagers too.”
Lao Qi said, "Don't forget her identity. She is the village doctor. She brews the medicine that all the villagers drink. She can kill all the villagers by poisoning."
When the woman wanted to understand this, her face became even more ugly.
Xiao Wu asked, "If the whole village died together, would Granny Sun poison the spring water?"
Xiao Lou shook his head, "Poisoning the spring water does not guarantee that all the villagers will be poisoned to death at the same time on the death anniversary. Many people will pick up two buckets of water in advance and store it. Two buckets of water can last for a long time. I think it is more likely.
It was she and Mrs. Qin who teamed up to poison the rice wine they were going to drink on the Autumn Harvest Festival."
Yu Hanjiang agreed, "On the day of the Autumn Harvest Festival, everyone drinks wine to worship their ancestors. This is the tradition of Liuxi Village. As long as everyone drinks poisonous wine, everyone will be poisoned to death immediately and buried with her daughter."
Everyone fell silent at the same time.
In fact, everyone can understand Grandma Sun's mentality. If it were anyone else's daughter who died tragically, they would want to chop their enemies into pieces. If her daughter was really killed by people from this village, as a mother, she would be devastated.
My beloved daughter, it is reasonable for her to massacre the village in revenge in anger.
But hatred gradually distorted her psychology. Not only did she massacre the village, she also wanted to take revenge on the descendants of the villagers.
The descendants did not participate in what happened thirty-five years ago, like Lin Er, Liu Hui, etc. These babies born later knew nothing at all. They were poisoned and blinded by Grandma Sun from the time they were born. How innocent they are.
, why do you have to endure more than thirty years of revenge? Not only have you lived in darkness since childhood, but you also have to drink soup made from the bones of your parents and grandparents every day.
In ancient times, if someone made a mistake, he would be "implicated in the nine tribes". In modern times, this cruel system has long been abolished. If a few people make a mistake, more than a hundred families in the village will be buried with them, and even future generations will be retaliated. This is a bit excessive.
.
If Granny Sun really wants to massacre the village, then the challenger will face two choices.
The first option is to sit back and do nothing. The clearance requirement of Spades 4 does not include "rescuing the villagers", but to find the gems and survive in this world for seven days. As long as Liuxi Village is destroyed by the group again, challengers can
The challenger who can stay in the village for seven days and stay in the villagers' homes to avoid being exposed to wind and rain is equivalent to winning directly by finding the gem.
The second option is for the challenger who knows the truth to intervene with Granny Sun and Mrs. Qin to prevent the village massacre from happening again. More than 300 innocent villagers will be rescued, and their descendants will no longer suffer the consequences of blindness.
Influence.
But this choice will be very difficult. First of all, the villagers will not trust these "outsiders", and they will trust Old Mrs. Qin and Granny Sun. Once the villagers drink poisonous wine on the Autumn Harvest Festival, they will be destroyed.
Xiao Lou looked at the four people and said, "I personally think that if we want to pass the level perfectly, we have to save the villagers."
The four people looked at each other and agreed with this statement.
According to the timeline, the Autumn Harvest Festival and Lin Er's wife's due date were both on the fifth day after they entered Liuxi Village, which was three days later.
The challengers must have found all the gems on the fifth day. Some who did not find it and wanted to grab it were eliminated after fierce internal fighting and were killed or injured. The remaining challengers kept the gems and just sat back and watched.
, they can clear the level directly after the villagers group is destroyed.
This is the simplest way to clear the level. It is basically the same as what was described when entering 4 of Spades: hide from villagers, find gems, and then hide from other challengers. Try to protect your gems from being robbed.
If you want to pass the level perfectly, you must save the villagers, and the difficulty will skyrocket.
However, thinking of the innocent children, Xiao Lou couldn't just sit back and watch. He looked at Yu Hanjiang and said, "We have to find a way to stop Granny Sun's actions."
Lao Qi touched the beard on his chin and said, "The Autumn Harvest Festival is on the fifth day, right? Let's try going directly to the village on the night of the fourth day and steal all the medicine from Grandma Sun."
Xiao Lou ""
These four people were simply a "stealing gang" who stole roosters and dogs last night, and then stole medicine.
Xiao Lou did not object to this approach. He smiled and said, "You can give it a try. After all card skills are refreshed at 24:00 in the morning on the fifth day, everyone will act together. You go to Grandma Sun's house to steal all her medicine. We will go to Qin
The old lady wants to replace her rice wine."
The curly-haired woman was a little worried and said, "It would be great if it really goes so smoothly."
Her crow-like mouth suddenly made Xiao Lou's heart skip a beat. He was not sure whether it would go so smoothly.
The seven people separated in the ruined temple, and Lao Qi reminded him, "There are still challengers in the village who haven't gotten the gems. They will definitely rob you. You should try to be careful."
Xiao Lou nodded, "You guys too."
The four of them went up the mountain, and Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang and Liu Qiao returned to the farmland east of the village.
Two girls were chatting with Ye Qi under the tree. A soft voice came to Xiao Lou's ears, "We found a gem. Have you found it? Do you want to work together and try to pass the level perfectly?"
These two people were the girls who were robbed after catching a wooden box by the pond. They were obviously lying.
Ye Qi was about to speak, but Shao Qingge suddenly stopped him behind him, narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile, "We didn't find the gem, and we were worried about what to do. I didn't expect you two to come to our door and keep the gem obediently."
Bar."
He winked at Ye Qi. Ye Qi understood and immediately used the teleport card to come behind the girls. The scales trapped them, and then he took out his guitar and started playing. The two girls suddenly felt sleepy.
sleepy.
The two were shocked and said, "Don't do anything if we don't have any gems."
Ye Qi put away the guitar, and Shao Qingge smiled and said, "I know you are trying to see if we have any props in our hands, and then trying to steal them from us, right? It's a pity that we don't have any either. You two should go find them elsewhere as soon as possible."
"
The two girls ran away in despair.
After they left, the three of Xiao Lou came to the tree.
Ye Qi said excitedly, "Professor Xiao, what have you discovered?"
Xiao Lou briefly recounted the conversation he heard in the ruined temple and told Ye Qi his next plan.
Ye Qi said, "We must save. The condition for perfect clearance should be to save the villagers. This is just like the Liuxi Village dungeon in the stand-alone game. After the player enters the village, the first task is to avoid the villagers and look for gems. Looking for gems."
In the process, players discover the secrets of the village, and then trigger hidden tasks to save the villagers."
Liu Qiao looked at him and said, "You often play stand-alone games."
Ye Qi chuckled and said, "Yeah, but I'm playing a Xianxia RPG. According to the game's routine, if you collect seven gems, you can open the trap in the village and summon the dragon."
Although there is no "summoning dragon" setting in this secret room, Ye Qi's understanding is similar. It is indeed like a plot village in the game. Players come to the village, discover the secrets, and save the villagers before they can clear the level.
Moreover, Xiao Lou remembered the village chief's words, "As long as you are willing to help me, you can take away all the jade resources in the village."
Maybe, those jade resources are the reward for completing the level perfectly.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lou said, "Since everyone agrees, let's plan the next action." He looked at Yu Hanjiang and said, "Captain Yu, you are more professional in this regard, what do you think we should do?"
Yu Hanjiang said, "Currently, four people in Xishan are holding a group with two gems; five of us are holding a group with three gems; a couple escaped from the village with gems; the last gem was snatched away by a masked person.
People are very powerful and can retrieve objects from a distance. Those who have already obtained the gems are not easy to mess with. Other challengers who have not obtained the gems will definitely find a way to grab them, and they will probably form a team."
Although Xiao Lou couldn't bear it, he had no choice. The Spades Secret Room was destined to eliminate people. Those who couldn't get it could only blame themselves for being too slow. Those who were robbed could only mean that they were too weak.
Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes and said, "The two girls just wanted to trick us. After the secret room is refreshed at 24:00 tonight, the system will remind everyone that there are 0 gems left in Liuxi Village."
Ye Qi said nervously, "In this way, those who didn't get it will probably form a team to grab things tomorrow. We have to guard against being robbed of gems first. After all, we have three of them."
Yu Hanjiang took a deep breath and said, "I don't want to have a head-on conflict with other challengers. If they are cornered and kill everyone, we have no choice but to kill everyone, so"
Xiao Lou understood what he meant, "Let's just leave the village."
Yu Hanjiang nodded, "Although it is dangerous outside the village, it is not a dead end. With five of us and a large number of cards, we can deal with a group of unintelligent beasts. I believe it will be easier than dealing with other challengers."
Everyone looked at each other and agreed with Captain Yu's opinion.
Xiao Lou smiled and said, "Then we will leave the village and stay for two days, and then come back when the Autumn Harvest Festival is about to start on the fifth day. Liuxi Village will definitely be very chaotic these two days. We'd better not go into this muddy water and go out to avoid it."
The five people were about to turn around and leave.
The ignored village chief didn't quite understand what everyone was talking about about games, dungeons, and saving the villagers, but when he heard that everyone was about to leave the village, he immediately interrupted everyone in fear and said in a trembling voice, "There are many wild beasts outside the village, you, you guys."
I don’t want to live anymore”
Xiao Lou turned back to look at him with gentle eyes, "Compared to wild beasts, human hearts are more terrifying."
Ye Qi smiled and said, "Village chief, do you want to follow us?"
The village chief had a complicated look on his face. He shook his head subconsciously, but remembering that he had been expelled from the village, he finally nodded bravely.
A group of six people walked away side by side.
On the west mountain, Lao Qi, who was holding a telescope, suddenly said, "They left the village."
Xiao Wu next to him couldn't help but said, "If we stay in the village, we will be targeted by the challengers who have not obtained the gems. In fact, it is not safe. What if there is a challenger who breaks the pot and drags us into the water?"
Lao Qi nodded solemnly, "Why don't we go out for two days?"
The four of them looked at each other and quickly went down the mountain.
A masked man suddenly came out from behind a tree.
He turned a red gem in his hand and followed it quietly.
24:00 in the morning.
A prompt popped up in everyone's floating box at the same time.
Liuxi Village, third day, 24:00.
The number of gems remaining in the village is 0.
The number of remaining challengers in the village is 8.
When Xiao Lou saw this prompt, he couldn't help but sigh, "There were still 18 challengers this morning, and now there are only 8 left. It seems that Lao Qi and the others have also left the village. The remaining 8 people in the village will kill each other, but in fact
All the precious stones have been taken out of the village."
The howling of wild wolves kept ringing in my ears, and the sound of rustling snakes crawling on the ground could be heard.
The wilderness is very dangerous, but if you go into the wild with gems at this time, your survival rate will be higher.
