Chapter 17 Cards
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself sitting cross-legged on the floor of an agricultural assembly hall, holding a playing card in his hand, and in front of him sat three villagers dressed rather modestly.
At the same time, information about the mission also flowed through my mind.
According to the system, the scripted mission will put the player into an independent time and space, and the player needs to play a certain role and complete the task issued by the system.
In the process, players can wear equipment, use items, and unleash supernatural powers, and most of the bizarre behaviors will not cause "confusion" among the natives, although going too far can still cause trouble.
In this mission, Li Ang plays a young villager named Feng Tiezhu, a young villager from Yinshan Village.
Located deep in the mountains, Yinshan Village is remote, poor, backward, isolated, and ignorant, which has always been the label of this small mountain village.
With the rapid development of the outside world and the rapid development of science and technology, the closed Yinshan Village still maintained the silence of the ancient well without waves, until the road leading to the outside of the mountain was paved, and the information torrent of the flowery world outside finally broke through the obstacles and brought a trace of vitality to the Yinshan Village.
However, in the memories of some middle-aged and elderly villagers, the fear of famine and hunger is still vivid and palpable.
At the end of the briefing, Leon unhurriedly surveyed the rural hall in front of him.
The interior of the building is quite large, with a triangular roof made of logs, two stories high, and the floor is paved with potholes of concrete tiles.
Combined with the cracked grey walls and the handmade wooden chairs stacked on both sides of the General Assembly Hall, spray-painted and mottled and falling,
It can be inferred that this hall is at least forty or fifty years old.
During the period of the Rural People's Commune, this assembly hall was used as an occasion for the meeting of the production brigade and the commune construction.
And when the rural communes no longer adapted to the times, the utilization rate of the Great Hall also plummeted, and now it is either used to hold elections for the village party secretary, or to sing for the opera troupe, or.... It's like now, used to stop the mortuary ....
On the innermost side of the Great Hall, on the left side is written Worship for Learning, on the right side is Pragmatic and Trustworthy, and in the center is a one-man high platform on which a black and gray wooden coffin is placed.
It was night, and the doors of the Great Hall were open, and you could see the stars in the night sky.
The cool night breeze blew from outside the gate, stirring up the incandescent lamp that hung from the dome of the General Assembly Hall, and the light and shadow swirled, illuminating the gray coffin on the platform.
The four villagers, including Leon, sat in a cross shape on the floor near the entrance of the Great Hall, with a few old newspapers under their buttocks, and a pile of playing cards on the newspapers in the center of the four.
"Two 10s"
"Two J's"
"Two Ks"
The game was played in a dreary atmosphere, and the four played cards not for fun, but to survive the difficult night accompanied by the lonely coffin.
Feng Tiejia, a villager sitting directly opposite Li Ang, said casually: "Feng Tiegen, that bastard, the old lady is lying here, let us keep vigil, but I took my daughter-in-law to the county seat." ”
Feng Tieyi, who was sitting in front of Li Ang's left, said: "Don't say that, didn't he also go to the county seat to get the "Resident Death and Funeral Certificate". ”
"He's a fart!" Villager Feng Tiejia sneered: "His wife was killed by himself, and he still has a face?" ”
Villager Feng Tieyi and villager Feng Tieyi's faces changed, and he stiffly glanced at the coffin in the depths of the Great Hall, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense! ”
"What nonsense? Am I wrong? Feng Tiejia said indifferently: "When he was a child, his mother could be said to have brought him up with a handful of and urine, and he was not hungry when the whole village was about to gnaw on the bark." ”
"In the end, he was good, since he married that daughter-in-law, the small bungalow in the family has been built, but he refuses to pay for his mother's treatment."
"Isn't it cancer? If you can't cure it, you can't cure it, and it's okay to take it home to take care of it, but Feng Tiegen and his daughter-in-law are troublesome to take care of the seriously ill old lady and lock her in the backyard cowshed! The cowshed was also locked! ”
"How can the human heart be poisoned by this? His wife was trapped in the cowshed and no one cared for her, she didn't eat or drink, how did she die in the end? Starve to death! ”
When she was dragged out of the cowshed, she still had a large ball of cotton and a bag of instant noodle seasoning in her mouth that she couldn't digest! She was toothless, hungry and wanted to eat the spice packet, but she couldn't even tear the plastic bag outside! ”
Speaking of this, Feng Tiejia trembled with anger, and Feng Tieyi and Feng Tiejia also lowered their faces and remained silent.
Feng Tiegen's behavior will certainly be nailed to the pillar of shame and forever criticized by the villagers of Yinshan Village, but for scum, face has always been dispensable.
Li Ang, who had his back to the direction of the coffin, thought thoughtfully, according to the mission description, the zombie to be eliminated was probably the old lady who was starved to death by her own son in the coffin.
However, the quest also states that it is the "zombies" that need to be destroyed, not the "dead corpses", which means that you must wait until the corpses are resurrected to meet the conditions of the quest - if you do it too early, it may trigger the corpse fraud or other bad consequences early.
In the eyes of the three villagers, Li Ang, who plays the role of an ordinary villager, wears simple clothes, but in fact he is fully armed and can carry out individual combat at any time.
Fang Cai's argument made the already depressed Great Hall even more silent, and the four people who were appointed by the village to come to the vigil played round after round of cards.
Suddenly, an indiscriminate "click" sound sounded in the Great Hall, blending with the sound of the night breeze blowing the leaves outside the building.
Feng Tiejia, who was sitting opposite Li Ang, was holding two pokers and was about to play, but his face changed suddenly, the poker held in mid-air trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of panic.
In his sight, the lid of the coffin on the inside of the Great Hall was slowly opening, and a thin arm covered with long pale hair slowly stretched out from under the wooden plank and pinched the coffin lid.
The coffin board made of wood is quite heavy, but in the white-haired arms, it looks as light as a feather.
The white-haired arm slowly stiffened but smoothly and lightly, placing the coffin lid on the ground beside him, and the whole process did not make a single sound, and the silence was terrifying.
The cold current instantly flowed through Feng Tiejia's back, and he made an indistinct sound of "ho-ho-ho" from his throat, looking ahead, his eyes about to split.
The body of the old lady, which had long been blackened, slowly stood up in the coffin like broken chopsticks.
Her body was covered with a finger's length of white hair, her shriveled and hollow eyes, and she stared blankly at the four people playing cards in front of her.
Feng Tiejia threw down the poker in a panic as if he had been electrocuted, and said, "I.... I'm going to go to the toilet outside, are you coming? ”
"What are you doing outside, it's cold, find a bucket to solve it." Feng Tie said puzzled. The four of them sat down in a cross shape, and from his position, the changes in the corpse could not be seen.
"I'm afraid of the dark! Come with me! Feng Tiejia roared in a low voice.
Feng Tieshan pursed his lips, "Don't go, you have to go yourself." ”
Feng Tiejia gritted his teeth, turned around and ran out of the Great Hall, running towards the flickering lights in the village.
