After chatting with Xizhu all night, unconsciously, the sky outside was already white, Xizhu yawned and smiled: "Luo Xi, it's really interesting to chat with you, I'm very sleepy, I didn't expect to chat with you so pleasantly, before I knew it, it was dawn." ”

I shrugged my shoulders, yawned, got up and smiled bitterly, "Me too, my sleepiness is very heavy." He patted his face, pretended to put his hand into his pocket, took out two beans from the storage space, ate one himself, handed one to Xizhu and said, "Do you want to eat some?" ”

Hee-joo looked at the beans that were only a little like peas, and said suspiciously, "What is it?" ”

I stretched, jumped off the table, my bones crackled and thought for a while, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing anyway, just eat it." "This bean is the fairy bean in the anime Dragon Ball, it takes three days to survive to exchange, and the effect is basically the same as the full recovery potion, which is to restore all physical strength, heal all injuries, and restore all mental power, the only difference is that the full recovery potion can be reborn with broken limbs, and the fairy bean can't. This is the reason why the price difference between the fairy bean and the full recovery potion is more than doubled.

Xizhu half-believed and followed my example, threw the fairy bean into his mouth and chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed: "It's not tasteful, it's not delicious, huh?" Xizhu suddenly got up from the bed, and the sleepy-eyed boss who was still worried: "How do I feel that I am full of energy, and I am not sleepy at all, what is this, give me some more." ”

I pursed my lips and smiled bitterly, "What do you think this is, peanuts?" I'm telling you. The price of my bean. That's enough to buy countless shops like yours. I want you to take me to see the ancestral hall today, or I wouldn't want to take it out. ”

Xizhu also got up from the bed, stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "Stingy ghost, okay, I won't open a store today, it's okay to accompany you to the ancestral hall to have a look." With that, he went up to the attic with the quilt. Actually, it's not that I'm stingy, if you replace the survival days of a fairy bean with the equivalent value of gold leaves. Not to mention Xizhu's shop, I'm afraid that even if you buy the entire street, it may not be impossible.

By the time the quilt had been put in place, we had washed up, and it was already bright outside, and occasionally there were the sounds of people's footsteps, greetings, and the cries of various livestock. Xizhu pushed open the door, and an old man was already standing at the door of the store, carrying a thermos bucket in his hand.

Looking at the old man, Xizhu smiled: "Zhang's mother." What about buying early? ”

The old man nodded, walked directly into the store and said, "Yes." Bring me seven taels of wontons, and ask for shrimp filling, pork filling, and beef filling, and put a few of each, hey, who is this? "Halfway through Mama's words, she suddenly discovered my existence, and swallowed back the next words stiffly, looking at Xizhu with a puzzled expression.

Xizhu touched his head and said, "Oh, this is my distant cousin, who came yesterday, by the way, Mother Zhang, today I am going to accompany my cousin to walk around the town, and I will not do business, you see." ”

Zhang's mother seemed to have seen a ghost, and quickly walked out of the store and said, "Oh, oh, oh, then you go, I won't bother you." After saying that, he turned his little feet and walked away.

I smiled wryly and touched my head: "Am I like a monster?" ”

Xizhu also looked puzzled, thinking and said: "No, although our town is not as good as before, there are still strangers who often come here to play, and Zhang's mother is a famous matchmaker in the town, she can speak well, and I don't know what happened today." ”

I thought about it, waved my hand and said, "By the way, Xizhu, how did you get your wontons?" Did Zhang's mother come to buy it so early? ”

Xizhu smiled: "Yes, I made it the first night and then sold it the next day, and I had already wrapped today's wontons before you came last night, what's wrong?" ”

I waved my hand, and also walked out of the store door and said with a smile: "It's a pity that it's not sold if it's done, otherwise, you will open normally this morning, and I will come to you in the afternoon, and I suddenly remembered that there is a very important thing to do." Anyway, regardless of Xizhu, he quickly left in the opposite direction to Zhang's mother.

Walking to a corner, I was sure that Xizhu did not follow me, and then went back from another road, since Xizhu said that Zhang's mother is a famous matchmaker in the village, it is not difficult to find, I randomly found someone to inquire, I asked the way to Zhang's mother's house.

Zhang's mother lives closer to the center of town. A three-story wooden house, although it is not a good house, but in this town, it is not bad.

I knocked on the door, the door was opened a crack, Zhang's mother carefully poked her head out, saw that it was me, her face changed, and hurriedly closed the door, I stopped them with a pestle and laughed: "Zhang's mother, I'm not a ghost, what are you so afraid of me for?" ”

At this time, Zhang's mother's face was pale, her whole body trembled like a sifting chaff, and beads of sweat continued to drip from her forehead. ”

I looked at Zhang's mother and sighed slightly, in fact, she is just an ordinary person, I did this a bit excessively, but from her words, I can hear that I look a lot like someone she knows, or...... Ghosts.

I threw a gold bar in front of her and said, "Mother Zhang, I'm not a judge, I'm a human being, a living person, my name is Luo Xi, if you can answer my question, this gold bar is yours." ”

In the game space, the lightest gold bar is also 5 kilograms, that is, 10 catties, 10,000 grams, such a wealth suddenly fell from the sky, and ordinary people are unable to resist.

Sure enough, Zhang's mother's eyes changed from initial fear to doubt, she picked up the gold bar, put it in her mouth and bit it hard, her eyes turned greedy again, she hurriedly got up from the ground and said, "Okay, Mr. Luo Xi, right?" Please sit in the room, and I will tell you all about what you want to know. ”

Walking into Zhang's mother's house, it is a living room, in the living room, a family photo is hung, in addition to Zhang's mother, there is a slightly chubby middle-aged man and three children, this must be Zhang's mother's husband and children. But what shocked me the most was that above the family portrait, there was also a shrine with a statue that looked exactly like me. I pointed to the statue with a stunned look and asked, "Mom Zhang, what is this?" ”

Mother Zhang saw the shrine along my hand, her originally greedy eyes turned back to fear, she quickly pressed my hand down, and then took out three sticks of incense from under the coffee table and lit it, and kept kowtowing to the statue and said: "Lord Judge, it's strange, Mr. Luo Xi didn't mean to contradict you, please forgive me." After that, he inserted the incense on the incense burner in front of the shrine, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Luo Xi, you and I should go to the third floor." ”

I nodded, and followed Mama Zhang to the third floor, in fact, I can feel that the thing I want to ask is related to this judge, if it is in the living room, in front of the shrine, I am afraid that even if Mama Zhang knows, she may not be able to say it.

The third floor was a smaller reception room than the first floor, and I casually sat down on an old-fashioned mahogany sofa and asked directly, "Mom Zhang, can you tell me what the judge is?" ”

Zhang's mother didn't speak, but walked to the table, lifted the kettle and wanted to help me pour water, but several times unsuccessful, anyway, it was sprinkled all over the table, the old-fashioned teapot lid and the body of the kettle were constantly beating, making a "clang" sound, I think now Zhang's mother's hand must be shaking badly, for a long time, she finally helped me pour a glass of water, trembling slightly and handed it to me before saying: "You are Xizhu's cousin, and it seems that you are still very rich, I advise you, a young and promising young man like you, it is better not to meddle in things, One more day is a day. ”

I took a sip of the cup and said, "I'm sorry Mom, I'm good at everything, but I have a bad problem, no matter what strange things happen, I want to find out, you better tell me." ”

Zhang's mother thought for a long time, sighed and said, "Okay, I'm afraid you won't leave today if you don't find the answer, I'll tell you, the strange things in our village." "Zhang's mother's description is basically exactly the same as Xizhu's, but in order not to reveal what Xizhu told me, I still listened patiently to it again.

After Zhang Ma finished saying what Xizhu said to me, she didn't stop, but continued: "Actually, there is no such thing as changing lives in our town, whoever should die, whoever dies, until more than thirty years ago, the judge came to our town, he said that he can change his life, as long as one person sacrifices himself, then he can exchange two lives at most, so the people in our town are both respectful and afraid of the judge, and the judge will come once every five years, at that time, the town will sacrifice five people to the most sacrificed, Otherwise, the judge will start killing, no matter where you are, whether it is good or bad, keep killing, until five people voluntarily sacrifice themselves, the judge will not stop, now calculated, the five-year period seems to be coming soon, Xizhu, as the younger generation in the town, does not know these things, every time the judge comes, it is the old man of our village to deal with. ”

I nodded, drank the last sip of water in the cup, and said goodbye to Zhang's mother.

Walking on the way back to the Xizhu store,I began to sort out my thoughts,A person who looks exactly the same as me,The first thing I thought of,There is no doubt that it is Luo Chen,I and Luo Chen are basically made by the same method,Or "gene"Made,Since childhood,People around us say that the two of us are printed in a mold,And just Luo Chen also disappeared in this game,Given that the guide can adjust the time in the game,So I and Luo Chen have two game gaps of more than 30 years,It also makes perfect sense, But what the hell is Luo Chen going to do? If he was able to change his life, then it proved that he had at least seen the secrets of this town, and if he was looking for souls, then why collect willing souls? Is there any difference between a voluntary soul and a passive soul? I really don't know much about the soul, and it would be nice if Zhu Long's living dictionary was here.

Looking at the rising sun overhead, I narrowed my eyes slightly: "Luo Chen, what are you doing?" Is Zhu Xiao's hint related to you? (To be continued......)
