Chapter 2 The village chief is in the largest house in the village
The setting sun between the two mountains casts a golden light on the mountain village.
Yu Xing's painter character also seems to be a fashionista, with a shaggy white dress, a large round neckline, sleeves that almost cover his fingers, tight jeans and white sneakers, and an easel and other tools behind his back.
Although it is not very serious, it is the kind that some little girls like the most, at this time the sun hits her body, Yu Xing only feels warm, as if she is a ball of cotton sheep.
It's so warm~
Naturally, the movement of him and the girl attracted the attention of the remaining three, who cast their eyes over, and several eyes collided in mid-air, reading the same message to each other - taking the opportunity to exchange information and let the characters know each other.
The girl trotted over.
Yu Xing followed and walked over, he could see that the curly-haired woman and a middle-aged man in his thirties were all the way, and the girl could also see it, so the girl asked curiously: "What happened to those two people just now, why don't you let you in?" β
"Hmph, maybe there is something wrong with the brain, I don't say that I am a feng shui master, there is a problem with feng shui here. They didn't go in on their own. The curly-haired woman sneered, but after expressing her dissatisfaction with the two of them, she still nodded politely to the girl and Yu Xing, "Hello, let me introduce, I'm Xiao Xuechen, I'm here for a tourist, and this is my colleague." β
The man in his thirties smiled: "My name is Wei Fan, I am an engineer, you can call me Wei Gong." β
It's really a team, which means that this is not the first time these two people have played this kind of game. The two men who went in first looked similar, most likely brothers, and they were also in a team...... Yu Xing muttered to himself.
The girl's round face showed a faint melancholy, she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and her acting skills were quite natural: "My name is Ju Lan, I am here to find someone, two days ago my boyfriend and his classmates said that they would come to Guanjia Village to play, and later, then they lost contact." I didn't dare to tell his parents, after all, we were in early love...... Oh yes, I met this handsome guy on the road, no, not together......"
Hearing this, Xiao Xuechen, Wei Fan and the gray-blue-haired young man all looked at Yu Xing, the young man was playing with a palm-sized paper doll in his hand that he didn't know where it came from, his eyes didn't know if he was wearing contact lenses or he was born like this, it was actually a beautiful and clear blue color, and the corners of his lips curled: "Hello, may I ask who you are?" β
"My name is San, I'm a painter, and I'm invited by fans to come and collect style." Yu Xing replied with a slightly cramped smile, and the character said that he was "indifferent", but he didn't like it, indifference would hinder his play, and he just wanted to pick out someone else in the indifference.
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man said with interest, "Oh? "Yes.
"I was also invited by a fan, what a coincidence." The young man is single, and the bells and whistles jacket and ripped pants do not conflict with the temperament, but match them well, giving people a sense of visual jump.
His tone was also lazy and lazy, and when others were arguing just now, he was watching the excitement with his pocket next to him.
And now, he stretched out his voice, his eyes turned around, and he seemed to be in a good mood: "Guess what I do?" β
"How can you guess that?" Xiao Xuechen stroked her hair, she was actually very young, in her early twenties, but she was dressed maturely, and her voice was also very royal, with her own momentum, "Is it a star?" β
"Fei Ye~" The young man stretched out his index finger and shook it, looking at Yu Xing expectantly.
"The fingers are slender and white, but there are obvious calluses on the sides of the fingers and knuckles, and the rhythm of your speech is maintained in a rhythm that attracts people's attention without being offensive, indicating that you have more control over the conversation." Yu Xing replied to the young man very cooperatively, and took half a step back, as if he was not very confident, "Your work has something to do with this, combined with your expression control, I guess, I guess you are a magician." β
"Awesome!" The young man's eyes widened unexpectedly, "He is worthy of being a painter, and his observation of people is terrifying......
After almost blushing at his compliment, the young man said to the others, "Carlos, magician. β
"Fortunately." Xiao Xuechen and Wei Fan bowed politely to him, and at the same time glanced at Yu Xing, who showed a small reasoning ability.
It seems like a person who doesn't get along well with people.,A little shy.,But the reasoning ability is pretty good......
Yu Xing was well aware of their scrutiny, and on the surface he remained silent, secretly thinking in his heart: magicians, painters, engineers, women with uncertain careers, students, and two guys who call themselves feng shui masters...... This group of people has a lot of professions, won't he be the only one who is a newcomer?
Thinking of this, he didn't forget the task, and said loudly: "That, since we all know each other, let's go into the village, right?" β
It was getting late, and all he had to do now was to find Zhou Yongsheng who invited him to come, and find a villager to stay at a villager's house for one night under the arrangement of the other party.
As for the others, although they are deducers and half of their companions, they do not necessarily have to act together until they confirm their true intentions.
Several people walked towards the village, and when they got closer, they could see a wooden sign erected at the entrance of the village.
The wooden plaque has deteriorated, and the font on it is blurred, and two words are vaguely recognizable: coffin village.
"Coffin Village? Isn't it Guanjia Village? Ju Lan's voice sounded in confusion in the silence, and before the others could speak, they heard a cough from the village.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
A big locust tree was planted at the entrance of the village, and a rickety figure came out of the shadow of the locust tree.
The old man was poorly dressed, hunched over, and his sparse white hair and wrinkled face showed that he was old.
"Ahem, young man...... What are you doing in our village? The hoarse voice was full of grain, the twilight was dull, and there was more air out than air in, and Yu Xing felt that he was going to go to the west in the next second.
Ju Lan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, I'm here to find someone!" β
"Looking for someone?" Hearing this, the old man walked over step by step on crutches, trembling, and leaned in front of Ju Lan to look at her, but his eyes did not seem to be normal, but seemed to be looking at something else......
Anyway, it made Ju Lan's goosebumps rise in an instant.
"Old man, we all have our own affairs, we want to enter the village, you seeβcan you tell us where the village chief is?" Xiao Xuechen stepped forward and dragged Ju Lan back, widening the distance between him and the old man, showing caution in his politeness.
"Looking forβlooking for the village chief?" The old man's unique voice was like scraping glass, and it was uncomfortable to listen to the thief, as if he wanted to squeeze the qi out of his throat, "The village chief...... The village chief ......"
He "villaged" for a long time, and when a few people thought he couldn't remember, he said quietly: "The village chief is in the largest house in the village......
With the old man's words, a gust of wind blew for no reason, and Yu Xing's neckline opened wide, and he shivered coldly.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, the sun completely fell into the mountain at this moment, and the warm sunset disappeared, leaving only the dark sky, and the atmosphere was depressed in vain.
"Okay, thank you, let's find it ourselves." Sensing that something was wrong with this old man, Wei Fan stood up and glanced at Xiao Xuechen, Xiao Xuechen understood, as if he was very familiar with them, and said: "Let's go to the village to find the village chief first, and let the village chief arrange a place for us to live." β
"Okay~ We're all tired." Carlos skillfully accosted and put one hand on Yu Xing's shoulder, "Let's go, let's go in!" β
Yu Xing nodded obediently, and entered the village with the others.
At present, it seems that Xiao Xuechen will protect Ju Lan, who is also a girl, and Wei Fan and Carlos will also take care of others, which is still good.
It's the first time he's done an investigator analogy game, and he doesn't know what kind of interests the players have in this kind of deduction, so just go with the flow for the time being.
The scenery in the village is a bit desolate, the houses are old-fashioned bungalows, tiled roofs, white walls have long been black and moldy after being exposed to wind and rain, and the fallen wall ash has accumulated on the ground, and even large wall shells have fallen.
The ground was potholed and overgrown with weeds, and it seemed that no one was cleaning it.
Walking along the path into the village, I didn't see a single villager along the way.
It's so quiet.
Yu Xing seemed to feel something, and glanced back from a distance, only to see that by the locust tree at the entrance of the village, the figure of the old man had disappeared, and he didn't know where he went.
"Why is there no one here?" Ju Lan muttered to herself, looking a little uneasy.
"I don't know, let's find the village chief first." Wei Fan appeased Ju Lan, and then remembered something, "Eh, Carlos, San, do you know any villagers?" Didn't you say that the fans invited you to come, so let's get in touch with the fans? β
"Oh, do you think I don't want to Wei Gong." Carlos scratched his gray-blue hair, "No signal, I haven't seen this fan either, and it seems that he doesn't like me much, so he won't come to greet him." β
Yu Xing's heart moved, and he asked as if unintentionally: "Your fan, is it called Zhou Yongsheng?" β
"Yo! No way? Are we the same fan? Carlos's reaction had confirmed Yu Xing's suspicion, and they looked at each other, but Ju Lan exclaimed:
"Zhou Yongsheng!?"
"What's wrong?" Realizing that the first key point was coming, Yu Xing looked at her.
"Zhou Yongsheng is my boyfriend's classmate, the last time they came to Guanjia Village to play, it was that classmate who proposed it, I ......" Ju Lan's face turned pale, "He shouldn't be a liar!" β
The five men stopped in the middle of the road and looked at each other, Carlos narrowed his eyes and repeated with interest: "...... Swindler? β
"Looks like you have some issues to deal with." Xiao Xuechen paid attention to them, she guessed that the first task of the seven deducers should be divided into three batches, she and Wei Fan came to find the village chief, these three people were looking for a villager named Zhou Yongsheng, and there were two men, it was estimated that they had other ideas.
She pointed to a slightly atmospheric house in the dilapidation and asked Wei Fan: "Wei Gong, is the village chief's house that?" β
"Probably, let's knock on the door." Wei Fan nodded, and as he walked towards the room, he found that everyone else had followed.
"You guys?" Xiao Xuechen said curiously.
"Anyway, Zhou Yongsheng didn't show up, I want to ask the village chief where he lives by the way." Yu Xing's face did not change, and Ju Lan and Carlos also meant the same.
Nonsense, if there is a village chief, they don't have to find targets one by one, how convenient it is to ask directly!
Soon, Wei Fan knocked on the house.
The door opened, and a middle-aged man with a square face came out of it, and when the middle-aged man saw them, he was stunned at first, and then showed a warm smile: "How many are from the city?" β
"Yes, are you the village chief of Guanjia Village?" Xiao Xuechen showed a decent and friendly smile, and the sense of distance on her body was diluted a lot at once.
"Yes, yes, a few of you, like the two just now, are they all here for tourism?" The middle-aged village chief was much more cheerful than expected, and he hurriedly turned sideways and said, "Come, come in and come in, the two of you were also in there just now, hahaha, it's been a long time since there were so many guests, just have dinner at my house." β
"yes, I'm sorry I didn't say hello in advance, then I'll trouble the village chief." Xiao Xuechen had no choice but to thank the village chief on behalf of all the staff, and the five of them entered the village chief's house together.
The village chief's house is not small, as soon as he enters the door, there is a small courtyard, the aroma of food comes out of the kitchen on the left, Yu Xing saw two men at the entrance of the village are sitting at the big table in the courtyard waiting to eat, and when they see a group of people coming in, the two nodded at them.
Disputes are done by the system, and they don't want to really break away from the group!
"Come on, come, sit, just put the things on your back next to you, I'll say hello to my mother-in-law and ask her to cook more, hahahaha...... It's been a long time since the house has been so lively! The chief beckoned them to sit down, and then turned into the kitchen.
There were obviously seven people sitting in the courtyard, but there was always an eerie atmosphere.
