Chapter 11 I climbed over the wall and the window in the village

The three of them simply buried the body and returned from the mountain, and it was only in the morning, and there was still a long time before the funeral of Zhou Yongsheng that was discussed in the village.

In fact, the game has been carried out so far, the small group between the deducers has been obvious, except for the missing Carlos and the dead Ju Lan, the two brothers of the Xu family basically have zero communication with Yu Xing, and I don't know if they have found any clues.

Entered the village at dusk last night, and then separated after dinner, and never integrated information until now, which is a bit stupid in Yu Xing's opinion, this group of people is too rigid, only with familiar and trusted people to carry out activities, completely did not take advantage of the number of people, like a plate of scattered sand.

Carlos has a sense of information, but he doesn't know where to hide or mess with something.

He thinks ...... Carlos definitely didn't have an accident, the blue-haired magician looked at something.

In short, having said all this, it is still the inexperience of the deducers in this game, otherwise, even people who have contradictions with each other will evaluate the proportions to exchange information, because deducing the truth and living is an unshakable common goal.

At that moment, under the gaze of some villagers who began to become strange, Yu Xing made a suggestion to Xiao Xuechen and Wei Fan-

It's still early, I'm afraid the key point of the game is tonight, they should use this blank time to find out more information about Guanjia Village.

Separate exploration, and then assemble, the information clues are integrated and analyzed.

Xiao Xuechen and Wei Fan have no objections, it's nothing to act separately, they are not in a horror movie, unlike the tragic protagonist of a horror movie, they have a certain ability to confront ghosts, and in broad daylight, the type of accident is limited, so it is not so difficult to deal with.

Although the houses in this small village are dilapidated, the overall layout is quite square, and Yu Xing, after acting alone, quietly climbed over the wall into the courtyards of several houses, and he found that almost every house had one or two empty rooms, and he did not know what it was used for in the first place.

In addition, he also paid special attention to whether there were coffins in the homes of these villagers, after all, if there was only one coffin in the ancestral hall in the coffin village, it would be too disrespectful.

He is an eye-catching outsider, and it still takes him a lot of effort to find out all kinds of things without being noticed.

didn't have lunch at noon, what happened last night, Xiao Xuechen and the Xu family brothers all said that they had no appetite and didn't go to the village chief's house to eat, and even Yu Xing, a person who seemed to have a thief appetite from beginning to end, directly said that he didn't want to eat.

In the afternoon, he leaned against a wall and gasped for breath, his snow-white shirt was dirty in action, and there was ash left by the wall on his palms.

It's basically done...... There was something really wrong with him and it broadened his speculation.

For example, these villagers don't visit each other at all, and if they want to chat together, they will go to the open space outside the house, as if each room has strict rules, and the number of people cannot be large, and the rules of the evening are bound to them, the deducers, he vaguely feels that this is a very important clue.

For another example, the rickety old man they met when they first entered the village, Yu Xing observed almost every house and never saw it again.

The old man seemed to have appeared out of thin air and disappeared out of thin air.

And the most unscientific point - there is no farmland in this village, and no one holds the position of buying from the village, and the villagers eat three meals a day, where do the meat and vegetables come from?

And...... Without a cemetery, where are all the people who have died in the village for so many years buried?

The time I made an appointment with Xiao Xuechen and Wei Fan was four o'clock, and just after three o'clock, Yu Xing ran to Ju Lan's room.

He stepped in through the window and calmly surveyed the room.

In the corner of the room was Ju Lan's backpack, and two wooden beds were placed side by side in the aisle, one of which had obvious signs of sleeping, and the other bed was ......

The quilt was lifted, and in the middle of the bed there was a small paper figure.

Yu Xing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, this was obviously deliberately placed here by Carlos, this magician seems to have a small paper figure in his hand all the time, which is very interesting.

He walked over, and from the traces of the scene, he could deduce that after Ju Lan woke up at night, got out of his bed, realized that his companion was missing, lifted Carlos's quilt and found the paper man, and then walked all the way to the door.

She must have been persuaded by something to open the door...... Then, things went in the worst direction.

After a brief speculation, Yu Xing ruled out that Carlos had a different mission from them and deliberately killed people.

Carlos is a human and not a ghost, he is sure of this, so if Carlos wants to kill Ju Lan, there is no need to bother so much.

He shifted his gaze to the paper figure again, and picked it up and looked at it.

Carlos's paper figures are all three-dimensional, belonging to the paper figures, not the paper figures.

The paper figure is only the size of a palm, and the strange thing is that the originally pure white paper figure is still bloodstained at the moment, with more than half of his head missing, and several cracks on his body.

"This scar...... Same as Ju Lan. Could it be the paper man's stand-in who bears the curse of the rules of the night for Carlos? Yu Xing narrowed his eyes, and at this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in his head.

[Traces of sacrifices have been found to remain, and they are being determined]

[Your level is lower than that of the other party, and the information acquisition failed]

"Ah, this is a sacrifice?" Although he had already guessed, he was still interested when he heard the confirmation from the system.

Whether it was Zhao Yijiu's knife before or Carlos's paper figure now, they all had some attraction to Yu Xing.

Because...... He also had an unseen and untouchable sacrifice on his body, and he vaguely knew what it was, so he needed to touch the sacrifice more and study what he couldn't touch before.

Yu Xing pinched the little paper figure that looked dead, and muttered to himself in a low voice: "Hmm...... No, this should not be a sacrifice, just a form of manifestation of the ability of the sacrifice, and it is still a residue. ”

When Carlos came to exchange information last night, in order to "perform magic", a paper man's head was cut open on the spot, so Carlos has more than one paper figure on him.

The actual sacrifice was probably carried by Carlos, and the bed was just one of the ways to use it.

Seeing that there was not even Carlos's backpack in the house, he must have taken the bag with him when he left.

Yu Xing: "Could it be that Carlos left Guanjia Village and went to the town on the other side of the mountain?" ”

This is a new way of thinking, and the task only requires them to attend the funeral, and it does not say whether they can leave before the funeral.

In fact, no one has a rule that they have to stay in Guanjia Village until the funeral begins, so they can leave at any time, as long as they come back before the funeral begins.

Yu Xing played this deduction game for the first time, and he didn't think about it for a while, and his eyes lit up now.

Having learned, he opened new doors!

Deduction games in the future...... His thinking will definitely be more divergent!

Hopefully the ghost is okay.

These are the things that were found in Ju Lan's room, and after coming out, Yu Xing turned a corner and came to the house where the Xu family brothers were, the family's yard was a little smaller than the village chief's house, but there was only one old lady living in it, so there were two empty rooms left, one was given to Xu Yuan Xu Hong, and one was given to Wei Fan.

According to Wei Fan, these two brothers are simply the ultimate otaku, and they stay in the room all the time and don't go out.

Sitting back and waiting for death can only be done by stupid people, and it is obviously not in line with the deduction players who have to use their brains in every deduction game, otherwise, these people would not have survived at all.

Therefore, the Xu brothers must have a way to obtain information.

This time, he did not climb over the wall and cross the window, but tidied up his clothes and knocked on the door of the old lady's house.

More than twenty seconds later.

"Squeak-"

The door was clearly not too old, and there was a screeching sound, and a short old lady was leaning on the door with one hand and a cane in the other, and there was no emotion on her wrinkled face.

She asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?" ”

This old lady has inconvenient legs and feet, Yu Xing has never seen her outside, and the other villagers will not come in, that is to say, this old lady is in the stage of news blockage, except for the village chief knocked on the door last night and sent in three outsiders, she should not know anything.

"Hello mother-in-law, I'm here to play with the people living in your house." Yu Xing blinked obediently and did not say his name.

"Guests from abroad...... Come on in. The old lady staggered out of the way, and Yu Xing walked in easily.

The yard was really broken, and some of the weeds were growing very tall, but the old lady was unable to clean up and clean up.

Yu Xing thanked the old lady and walked to the Xu brothers' room.

The door of the room was tightly closed, and the conversation could be faintly heard from the room where the soundproofing was about none, but unfortunately, the two men were probably experienced, and could only hear the voice, and the conversation was completely inaudible.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door twice.

"Who?"

"I'm San."

It was Xu Hong, who was dressed in black, who opened the door, and he glanced behind Yu Xing with a vigilant gaze, and then asked, "It turned out to be you, is there something wrong?" ”

"Before, you said that this village is evil, but now I believe it." At first, there was a logical connection of characters, and Yu Xing spread his hands innocently, "I saw something very terrible last night, Ju Lan also died today, I think about it, you two feng shui masters must know what's going on, right?" Hey......"

"I'm just a painter with no skills, so I want to come and talk to you, I wonder if you two can save me?"

Xu Hong was still hesitating, but Xu Yuan in the room had already understood what he meant, and raised his voice: "Brother, let him in." ”

"Come in." When Xu Hong heard this, he made an invitation.

Yu Xing smiled gratefully and stepped into the dimly lit room.

Once inside, he took a quick look inside the room without moving. At this time, the sun was shining, but the Xu brothers covered the window with a gorgeous cloth, making it difficult for light to penetrate.

Xu Yuan was sitting cross-legged on a hardwood bed, with a piece of parchment in front of him, and a bunch of strange and scattered small objects next to him, his eyes turned as Yu Xing walked, and then said: "We did calculate some things about Guanjia Village, but it's useless for you people to know about it, it's better to leave quickly." ”

The logic of this character is not bad...... Yu Xing glanced at the contents of the parchment, which appeared to be a hand-drawn map, surrounded by mountains and densely gridded in the middle.

Strangely, when he approached the parchment, the coldness returned, but it was fainter than the candlestick in the village chief's house, and it did not affect him significantly.

Yu Xing suppressed the discomfort, took a look at it more, and then smiled shyly: "I was not sensible before, and I promised the village chief to stay and attend the funeral, if I want to leave halfway, the ghost knows what will happen, two big brothers, I know that you are experts in feng shui, and some secrets cannot be humane to outsiders, but ...... Lives are at stake, and I have some additional information that I might be able to exchange with you. ”

That's what I'm waiting for.

Xu Yuan glanced at his brother, and then nodded: "Since that's the case, it's okay." ”

……

Half an hour later, Yu Xing left the Xu brothers' room.

He saw the old lady sitting in the courtyard, looking lonely, thought about it, and walked over with a smile.

The old lady tapped the cane in her hand one after the other, and looked up at the sky above the courtyard, stunned.

"Old lady, are you alone?" Yu Xing sat directly across from the old lady, and chatted regardless of whether the old lady agreed or not, "What are you looking at?" ”

"I'm watching...... The outside world. The old lady did not bow her head, but still looked at it.

A sly look flashed in Yu Xing's eyes, and he said tentatively: "If you want to go out for a walk, I can help you." ”

"No, not outside, but ...... The outside world. The old lady showed a sad look, in fact, she was the only old man Yu Xing had seen in this village, except for the old man at the entrance of the village.

"What is the outside world? You mean...... Outside the mountains? ”

"yes...... When I was younger, I also went out. The nostalgia in the old lady's eyes became stronger and stronger, perhaps because no one had spoken to her for too long, and her chatterbox was opened by Yu Xing without much effort.

"People in our village used to work hard outside, some went to school, and some worked." The old lady spoke clearly, and it was not difficult to recognize her speech.

"But, eventually, we'll all be pulled back and then stay in the village forever......"

Yu Xing listened, and sneered in his heart: Heh, is it the same as Zhou Yongsheng?

I went to school well, and when I came back, I was strangled to death.

He wanted to ask the old lady why she came back, but the old lady didn't seem to know much about the question, and she didn't say anything after a long time.

So Yu Xing changed the question again: "Mother-in-law, do you know an old man in the village?" I met him at the entrance of the village when my friend and I came, and he was also standing on crutches and looked very old. ”

"Old man?" The old lady was puzzled for a moment, "I should be the last old man in this village." Oh, did you see that by the locust tree? ”

Yu Xing nodded: "That's right." ”

He ...... He was the previous village chief, and after Zhou Facai returned from the town, he buried him under the locust tree. He...... It's long gone! ”
