Chapter 50: Bright as the Moon (12)
"We've been tired for a long time, so why don't you take a rest first, and you and I will go to explore this village later."
"Is that okay?" He said.
I said "um" and said okay, let's rest first.
It's complicated to say, I'm not a gamer.
I'm going to forget.
As long as I can get out of that raider, I'm going to keep my possessions and my negligible memories.
I have to say that after awakening, I really have enough contradictions, I hate me like this.
Too fragile, too pretentious.
Alas, awakening is a double-edged sword.
I drank the tea in my hand, and the faint aroma of tea filled my mouth and my mind.
Chen Chuan entered the house, and now I am the only one left. I didn't go back to the house, I should have slept here in the haze.
When I opened my eyes again, I was lying in the house, I got up and walked out, the three of them were ready to go, and Chen Chuan's stride seemed to call me.
"Awake?" He stopped walking over and said with a smile: "Pack up, let's go." ”
A faint smile appeared on his face, and I was stunned, and suddenly remembered that it was the same one afternoon, but someone else, yes, my unconscious housekeeper.
I didn't have an awakened consciousness, but I did something so clearly in my mind.
I said, "Okay, let's go, I've packed up." ”
There is a difference between day and night, and we rarely see the sunset.
We pretended to wander around the village, and found that, as the chief had said, there was not a single bell.
"It's not easy, we're going to find the Japanese girl, and there's a good chance we'll need this for the escape route, greedy incense maker." Luo Miao said, her brow furrowed tightly.
"The question is, although the girl entered here, where is the person?"
I don't know, but I do know that the drums are definitely not kind in the game.
Chen Chuan said: "Go to the water's edge and have a look, we have spare diving tools. ”
"The village chief didn't say that you can't go near the water's edge, but that it would affect the sanctity of the water, and I always felt that there was something else."
But we've turned the whole village around, and there's not a single lake, so I really suspect that the village chief, the NPC, is telling a lie.
"The village chief shouldn't talk nonsense, they should have a water source here, we just don't know. Depending on the background of the drum, it is likely to be a lake, and perhaps, there is a fish with a sharp nose. Chen Chuan took out an instrument and swept it on the ground.
This scene was so strange that the three of us were in a state of confusion, of course, Luo Miao and Liu Qingyan were surprised: "Why do you have so many props!" ”
Yes, he has too many props, unlike someone who has been through a few games.
He said calmly: "Experience points are exchanged." ”
Doesn't running out of XP drop levels? I don't quite understand, but I know, he doesn't want to say.
Luo Miao and the others didn't ask any more questions, we swept the surface all the way, and Chen Chuan kept looking for terrain that might produce water sources. It wasn't until we swept to a clearing at the back of the village that the apparatus rattled and seemed to be nearby.
There are no sprouting weeds in the clearing, and it doesn't look like a place with water at all, but being too clean is not normal in itself.
Therefore, Chen Chuan was still holding the instrument, sweeping in this open space, and when he touched the central area, the sound of the instrument was the loudest.
But no matter how long we go around, we just can't find the water source.
"Go back." Chen Chuan put away the instrument, "Let's go ask the village chief." ”
"Believe, he will not refuse something."
When we went back, it was already late, and in the dark night, I saw that the village chief, who was smiling like a chrysanthemum, was standing at our door and waiting for a long time.
"Dear guests, you must have visited the village, and you must have wondered why we didn't find a water source in our village."
He hunched over, rubbed his hands together, and looked at us expectantly.
Well, I'm starting to miss my boss again.
Chen Chuan probably exchanged some currency, he grabbed a handful and handed it to the village chief, who smiled and said, "Oh, my dear guests, the day after tomorrow and Sunday, we will hold a ceremony, I hope you can come and watch it, and we will distribute holy water." ”
"Welcome!"
[Congratulations to players for unlocking the side quest: Find the water source and solve the mystery.] Please be sure to participate in the ceremony in time and remember to be indispensable.
The main quest has been updated: Find the vanished ones still. ]
Chen Chuan sent the head of Chrysanthemum Village away, and we got together and ate some virtual things, and they were repeating things in reality, so as not to go back one day and not adapt to it.
"Then we'll wait until the day after tomorrow, and we can't be idle tomorrow, so let's go and see what the problem is."
"There are too many problems in this village, there is no water but you can cook, and if you look at the food, it is all fish, there must be lakes and rivers." Luo Miao said.
"I condensed thirty pills, now I will divide them among you, your pills have expired." Liu Qingyan said and distributed the green pill to us, Xu used the lily flower that restored her spiritual value, she looked very good, and she was no longer so pale.
I raised my eyes and looked at the blood bar box above my head, it was indeed bleeding, so I quickly took the next one before I could lie down with peace of mind.
Ah no, follow the deployment.
"When we went around the village, I found that every house here has a drum, which is a taiko drum." Chen Chuan's black and white eyes revealed a hint of worry, "Let's try not to conflict with them." ”
"yes, got it." The three of us nodded, and Luo Miao helped Liu Qingyan out of place.
"Brother Chen, then let's go and rest first."
Chen Chuan and I were in the same room and it was inexplicably embarrassing, so I also stood up and prepared to go back to my room.
"Mr. Lu, what's wrong with you?" Chen Chuan's eyes stared at me, his gaze was a little sharp, as if he wanted to ask me what the reason was, staring at my eyes.
I began to feel weak, although I didn't know what was in my heart: "I'm fine, Chen Chuan, why do you ask that?" ”
"As a friend and captain, you should always pay attention to the physical and mental health of your players." He smiled, and there was no smile in his eyes.
"I'm just homesick." I made a clumsy excuse.
"Really?" This time, he was a little genuinely comforted, "Don't be sad, we'll go out." ”
I didn't know what he meant, but I couldn't help but think about it, so much so that that night I had a long and terrible dream.
NPCs don't dream.
I suspect I'm in a fantasy.
But everything was very real, the disappointment and pain of the backstab, the unwillingness and anger, firmly imprinted on my heart, and finally returned to peace, covered with a layer of emptiness.
A covered, hypocritical skin.
I was stunned.
