After sending Zhu Xiao away, I walked alone on the road and thought, evil sits on the throne? The ultimate boss of this game should be Chi You, so the evil of the initials tentatively represents Chi You, the throne, Emperor Xuanyuan is an ancient emperor, he is qualified to sit on the throne, so can the first sentence be understood as Chi You defeated, or replaced Emperor Xuanyuan? If that's the case, then the second sentence is easier to understand, everything needs to be broken, think about the previous change of dynasty, from the legal system to coins, it may need to be customized, so everything needs to be broken, but there is a legend that Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor inherited the position of the Jade Emperor later, and Chi You sat on the seat of the Jade Emperor? In this case, that's not a good thing, it's not just the things that were broken by the ancient emperors, it's probably the whole world, then the third sentence obviously refers to how to prevent such a thing from happening, unless the 366th day comes, a year should have 365 days, but there are exceptions, that is, a leap year every four years, when the leap year, there are 29 days in February, then there are 366 days in the whole year, what a coincidence, this year is just a leap year. It's just right, quite in line with Chinese tradition.

Leap years are divided into yin leap years and yang leap years, the so-called yang leap years, that is, the year can be divisible by four, such as 2012, but if the year is a multiple of 100, such as 1800, 1900, 2000, it must be divisible by 400 to be considered a yang leap year, and the yin leap year is unique to China, the yin leap year can be said to have no law to follow, about 2 to 4 years will have a yin leap year, if you must say that there is. Same as the Gregorian calendar. The Chinese lunar calendar is also twelve months. However, a lunar leap year is different, and a lunar leap year will have an entire lunar month, ranging from about 25 to 30 days. And this year is 2014, which is China's leap year, this year, not only 366 days, but even 367,368...... God, but the only doubt is. 366 days if calculated according to the intercalary year, it is about February of 20.15 years, and now it's only May, and there is a full eight or nine months apart, this game can't be played for so long, I don't want to waste most of the year in this game, after all, I only have five years. And Lin Xuejun will definitely not let me stay in this game for so long, unless, this game has the key to improving my strength.

Cranky thinking for a long time, before dark. I finally made it to the provincial capital, not so much the provincial capital. It is better to say that it is a slightly larger village, at this time, it is already dusk, most of the shops have already closed, only a few snack bars are still in front of the door, and the lights are still dim.

When I walked into a wonton shop, a relative who looked to be in his twenties came up to me and greeted me, "Would you like something to eat?" ”

Although the strength of the first order allows me to fight hunger, but after not eating for a day, my stomach still screamed uncontrollably, touched my belly, and I smiled: "Oh, bring me a bowl of wontons, and a few side dishes." ”

The young man smiled slightly, walked into the back hall, and soon brought out a bowl of steaming wontons, as well as three side dishes, a plate of peanuts, a plate of choking radish, and a plate of cold bracken, all of which were some appetizing dishes. After serving, the young man smiled at me: "You use it slowly." With that, he sat down at a table next to me and watched TV. I have to say that this village is backward, and the TV that young people watch is a seventeen or eighteen-inch black and white TV, and it can only vaguely receive a few CCTV channels.

While eating, I chatted with the young man for a long time: "This wonton is good, the boss is very skilled." ”

The young man moved his gaze from the TV to me, clapped his hands and smiled: "That's an ancestral craft, my great-great-grandfather used to cook for the emperor, and then the emperor was pushed down, and my great-great-grandfather ran here and opened this wonton shop, and later, the shop was passed on to my great-grandfather, and my great-grandfather passed it on to my grandfather, and my grandfather passed it on to my father, and my father passed it on to me, a centuries-old shop." ”

It seems that I really hold back a lot of words in my heart, and as soon as the conversation box is opened, the young people and I have chatted all over the world, from national events, to trivial things in the town, from foreign interesting stories, to Chinese anecdotes, and unconsciously, we talked until dark. The young man looked at the watch on his wrist and smiled apologetically at me, "It's eight o'clock in the evening, I'm sorry, I'm going to close." It's so speculative to talk to you, I don't want this meal money. ”

I looked out of the store, it was actually dark all around, touched my head, and I smiled bitterly: "Boss, didn't you say that this is a provincial city?" Why are the shops closed so early, and why are there not even a street lights, this provincial city is strange and looks lifeless. "In fact, from the moment I entered this town, I found that something was wrong, it was only dusk, it was time to eat, most of the shops were closed, and there were not many pedestrians on the road, only a few scattered, which made me start to wonder, the reason why I said so much to the boss was because I had a feeling, what secrets there were in this town, and it was related to my mission, at least until now, my sixth sense had never deceived me.

The boss looked outside, touched his head and said: "Guest, it's not that I don't say, it's just that there are some things, you still don't want to know, it's not early now, at the end of our street, there is a family inn, saying that it's not yet nine o'clock, you go to spend the night, otherwise, when nine o'clock arrives, it will be troublesome." ”

I smiled slightly, it was exactly the same as I guessed, after thinking about it, I pretended to be angry and said: "Boss, I think you are okay, treat you as a friend, I have talked with you for so long, I have said everything, you are good, there is something still hidden, forget it, count me away." With that, he walked straight out the door.

I'm betting, generally speaking, young people are strong-blooded, a friend is enough to make young people stick a knife in their ribs, if the owner of this shop is also a somewhat bloody person, he will definitely catch up.

Luckily, the owner didn't let me down. Took a few steps. Then I heard his voice: "Alas, alas. Okay, okay, I'll tell you, but promise me that if someone asks, don't say I said it. "With that, pull me into the store.

I smiled, turned around and patted my boss on the shoulder and said, "Of course, we're not friends, aren't we?" My name is Luo Xi. What about you? ”

The boss sighed, and after pulling me into the store, he poked his head out and looked around, closed the door, motioned for me to sit down, and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I think I'm going to be killed by you, okay, my name is Xizhu, you can stay and sleep with me tonight, anyway, I'm alone." ”

After helping Hee-joo clean up the shop. He put together a few square wooden tables in the store, and it was a big bed. Then he picked up a quilt from the attic and touched his head and smiled: "I sleep like this, don't you mind?" ”

I shrugged my shoulders indifferently, took out a set of toiletries and smiled: "I have slept in the wilderness, you are much better, I am more concerned about whether you have water here." ”

Such a small joke eased the originally somewhat depressing atmosphere a little, and Xizhu smiled: "Aren't you talking nonsense, if there is no water, I will take some boiled wontons for you to eat, just in the kitchen, you can go by yourself." ”

When Xizhu finished washing, it was already more than 8:50 in the evening, Xizhu hurriedly touched his face, and quickly ran out and turned off the light.

"Hey, hey, I'm still brushing my teeth, why are you turning off the lights?" I walked out with a mouth full of foam, and said helplessly as I looked at the joy pillar in the dark.

Xizhu smiled bitterly, turned off the TV casually and said, "Hurry up, I'll talk to you later." ”

After brushing our teeth, Xizhu and I slept on the "table and bed", Xizhu pillowed his head, sighed slightly and said, "Luo Xi, do you really want to know about this town?" ”

I folded my clothes up as a pillow, turned off the light on the timer on my wrist, and nodded, "Hmm." ”

Xizhu turned his head to look at me, for a long time, before he smiled: "Okay, then I'll tell you, in fact, the strange things in this town, I also listened to my father, I haven't experienced it myself, when I was very young, my father closed on time at seven o'clock every night, whether there were guests or not, even if he didn't collect money, he had to drive the guests away, I was also very strange back then, I asked my father a few times, but he didn't tell me, my father is a very kind person, only beat me once, he kept telling me that I can't go out after eight o'clock at night, Once, because I was crazy with my friends, I made an appointment with my friends to catch frogs at night, and I climbed out at ten o'clock in the evening, and then my father found me, and after making sure that I was okay, he took me home and gave me a good beating, which broke my leg bones, and the next day, my mother died. Speaking of which, in the darkness, Heezhu's eyes were full of sadness.

I was about to say a few words of comfort, Hee-joo continued: "Later, my father died when I was 21 years old, cancer, before he died, he called me to the bedside, I learned all the things in the whole town, since 1945, we don't know what happened in the town, as long as it is nine o'clock in the evening, as long as there are living people still on the street, they will definitely die, and if there is any light on at nine o'clock in the evening, the family will definitely die in a few days, and later, as soon as this town reaches nine o'clock in the evening, it will become like a dead city." ”

I thought for a moment and said suspiciously: "No, if you say that you will definitely die, aren't you not dead?" And go to your father, aren't you two dead? ”

Xizhu smiled bitterly: "At that time, I also asked so, but my seriously ill father slapped me hard, it turned out that this curse of death is not unsolvable, that is, the voluntary death of one person can be exchanged for the lives of two people." ”

"Your mother?" Suddenly, I understood the reason for Heejoo's mother's death.

Xizhu sighed heavily: "Yes, when he found out that I was not necessarily, my father came out to look for me, and my mother chose to sacrifice herself at the first time." ”

I also sighed heavily, if there is anything in the world that is the greatest in the world, then I will definitely answer without hesitation that it is maternal love.

Seeing that Xizhu stopped talking, I couldn't help but wonder: "It stands to reason that there is nothing to hide about this, why don't you want to tell me?" And, if it's so terrifying, why don't you move out of this town? ”

Xizhu smiled bitterly: "It's not the mayor's decision, our town used to be a famous tourist resort, and the villagers made a fortune through tourism, if this matter is known to outsiders, even if our town is really finished, move, who doesn't want to move, there were many people who moved away before, but news came one after another, they all died, hey, stay at least as long as you abide by the rules and live, move out and definitely die, everyone will not move, but the young people in the village are suffering, it's okay to have a little money, like me, It's 26 this year, and I haven't even touched a woman's hand, let alone looking for a daughter-in-law, although the people in the town are secretive, but how can there be an impermeable wall, here are ten miles and eight townships, our town is a well-known ghost village, and no girl wants to marry over. ”

I nodded, thought for a while, and then said, "Xizhu, was this town occupied by the Japanese during the War of Resistance Against Japan?" ”

Xizhu was slightly stunned, and then said: "You know so, it's really like this, I remember that the headquarters was in the ancestral hall of our village at that time, and then the Japanese surrendered, so they blew up the good ancestral hall, hey, what a pity, where did I go to pick up stones to play with when I was a child, why do you ask this?" ”

I smiled and said, "In 1945, Japan surrendered, so I think the strange things in your village have nothing to do with the bombed ancestral hall." (To be continued......)
