Chapter 013: Act II
Dizi No. 1 Prison Camp.
When Zheng Xiu, who was in the first prison, opened his eyes, he subconsciously wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and his heart palpitated.
Not really.
Scared out of a myocardial infarction?
Zheng Xiu didn't know that Shi Wentong was in a state of great joy at that time, and he was frightened, and took a big supplement in advance.
When Shi Wentong kicked his legs and foamed at the mouth after screaming miserably, Zheng Xiu immediately drilled down and escaped into the ground, ending the [iQue] and returning to his consciousness.
The movement in the compartment is so big, no matter how stupid the driver is, he will immediately enter to check Shi Wentong's safety.
It won't scare him to death, will it?
Swenton only had a happy feast with himself during the day, and died in the carriage at night, if he really died, wouldn't he suspect himself?
Although he Zheng has a sufficient alibi, if someone really wants to talk about this, Zheng Xiu is also afraid of getting into a commotion.
"But ......"
After a little entanglement, Zheng Xiu shook his head with a smile: "I, Zheng, have been 'in trouble' so far, what can I do." ”
It's late at night now, and it's too conspicuous to temporarily let Erniang or his own people poke into the prison camp to make arrangements, and Zheng Xiu can only wait until tomorrow.
After a night of fugue, Zheng Xiu looked forward to the harvest after the "Doorway", and he didn't know what kind of extraordinary abilities he could cultivate if he continued to go deep into the Doorway.
After resting for a while, Zheng Xiu closed his eyes and entered the heart prison.
Sitting on the white bone chair, staring at the fog as deep as the sea outside the heart prison, thinking of Shi Wentong's tragic situation, although he did not feel guilty, but for this gray mist, Zheng Xiu felt a little more awe in his heart for no reason.
Anyway, let's hope they're okay.
Zheng Xiu sighed with emotion, he still has to be like Master Zheng, both moral and artistic, and has a clear conscience.
The map spreads out, and the little man waits quietly in the center.
Zheng Xiu looked at the location of Baili Village, and the color of the preserved egg was a little deeper.
If at the beginning, the round black tent looked like a preserved egg, then at this moment, it is like a broken old preserved egg.
Reaching out to probe, the words that appeared in front of Zheng Xiu's eyes also became-
【White Carp Village: Act 2】
The yellowed paper scroll rolled and came to Zheng Xiu.
Zheng Xiu took it and checked the current progress of himself and the incarnation.
[Host]: [Zheng Xiu]
[Doorway]: [Prisoner]
[Derivation]: [Prison Watching the Sky (First Peek at the Door)] [iQue (First Peek at the Door)]
[Talent]: [No business, no treachery (first glimpse of the door)]
[Experience]: [White Carp Initial Secret, Troubled Times (First Entry)]
Among them, [Watching the Sky in Prison] and [No Business and No Traitor] are still in the realm of "first glimpse of the door".
In terms of ability description, [iQue] is similar to [Prison Watching the Sky].
[Watching the Sky in Prison] can allow Zheng Xiu to enter the ghost in the heart prison.
[iQue] allows Zheng Xiu to travel in the world as a Piao.
Zheng Xiu felt that there was a contradiction hidden in it.
On the one hand, he wants to stay in the prison, but on the other hand, he tries to get him out of the cage.
The "first glimpse of the door" is just the beginning, if it continues to improve, Zheng Xiu guessed that the next [iQue] posture may be able to touch the east and west.
After a little conjecture, with longing, the night was long, Zheng Xiu planned to stay overnight, so Zheng Xiu didn't waste time, his mind was condensed, and the macho painter [Zheng Shan] on the table opened his eyes.

……
When re-entering [White Carp Village], after Zheng Xiu took out Li Da Hammer with a bold and sharp move, he inadvertently exuded a domineering aura that frightened Xiao Xiao, and incarnated into the trait [Shock].
[Deterrence (a little bit of skin)]: At a certain time, the invisible momentum you exude may scare the other party and make you win without a fight, but this rarely happens.
To put it simply, it is possible to scare the enemy with your face, but the probability is still to look at the face.
As the saying goes, more skills are not pressing, and talking is better than nothing. Watching the incarnation gradually grow, that kind of happy mood is like letting Xiao Zheng Xiu bathe in the sun and grow strongly.
It stands to reason that Zheng Xiu, who has become the richest man, has been able to face many things without being happy or angry, but the "ghost" party has made Master Zheng regain his original intention, as if he was as happy as a child.
Pain and joy.
A whirlwind of heaven and earth struck, and Zheng Xiu stepped into the ghost.
Just as he was about to spend a few minutes running over to brush Li Da Hammer and then enter Baili Village again, the fog lifted, and a tree-lined path that was neither wide nor narrow led to the depths, with water droplets hanging from the branches on both sides, and Zheng Xiu's clothes were wet everywhere.
Zheng Xiu looked at the current start blankly, he didn't care about the wet clothes on his body, he looked around, he didn't see the official road of the bandit who had walked hundreds of times.
"Saved, archived?"
Is this called Act II?
In the distance, the lights are lit up, and there seem to be people.
It should be the real white carp village.
Zheng Xiu remembered the last time before "going deep into the door", the prompt.
You realize that once you move forward, it will be very difficult for you to turn back. 】
Very...... Difficult?
How hard is it?
Zheng Xiu didn't believe in evil and turned around and returned.
The rain stopped and the wind stopped, and the birds and insects in the forest were inaudible, leaving only the "click" sound of Zheng Xiu walking on the muddy road, which was terrifyingly quiet.
After walking for a long time, the shadow of a village appeared again in front of me, and the lights were shining, just like not long ago.
"What the hell?"
Zheng Xiu was surprised at this time, and a drop of cold sweat fell on his forehead.
After pausing in place for a moment, Zheng Xiu took out the robbed bandit knife, carved a big fork on a conspicuous tree, and then returned.
Really.
When Zheng Xiu saw the fork carved on the tree by his own hands again, he understood the mystery here.
"A scout."
[You're opportunistic! 】
Oh yes! Out of the crit.
[xxxvi. 】
[The reconnaissance was a great success!] 】
Scouting is a good ability.
There is no need for target designation, even for air.
However, the only disadvantage is that at the same time and place, once the detection is successful, if the number of points is too low to detect more information, it will be determined again, even if the number of points is high, no new information will be detected.
Zheng Xiu has personally confirmed this in the process of quick brushing.
But it doesn't matter, you just need to be able to detect.
More and less are just relative, and it's better than knowing nothing.
You saw a village in the distance. 】
[This must be the White Carp Village. 】
[A comfortable and peaceful place hidden in troubled times. 】
You are alone, and although the rain has stopped, you are lost in the woods. 】
[Although I don't want to disturb the villagers, but helplessly, you are already hungry, if you don't spend the night in the village, alone in the forest at night, I'm afraid something will happen. 】
[You are vigilant, the bandits around you are in charge, and the world is hot and cold, why are there no bandits to plunder Baili Village? 】
So you made a decision. 】
After the investigation was successful, three options floated in front of Zheng Xiu.
[The lonely shadow of the village in front of you makes you feel uneasy, and you decide to sleep in the woods. 】
[You are hungry and decide to go to Baili Village and borrow a night. 】
[You want to leave this forest no matter what, even if you encounter a fierce beast in the mountains in the forest and fall into the belly of the beast, you will not complain or regret it, just take it as a good deed. 】
[Scouting] is really a good skill.
The success brought a lot of information.
The last sentence, in particular, makes sense.
In the end, Zheng Xiu learned from the pain and decided to go to Baili Village.
Entering the village, Zheng Xiu looked at the surrounding environment. The village is not large, with about 20 families in the distance. A white and chubby old man who claimed to be the village chief opened the door of his house. There was a fire in the house, and when Zheng Xiu was welcomed into the house, he found that there were several outsiders in the house who did not look like people from the village.
The village chief said that the group also came to take shelter from the rain and stay overnight.
The other party was dressed in a robe, with a saber in his hand, Zheng Xiu's eyes were hot, and he almost thought he was a thief.
Later, when I looked at the other party's expression, especially the old man at the head, even if it was raining, his hair and beard were neatly combed, and when Zheng Xiu stepped over the threshold, the other party looked at Zheng Xiu with vigilance in his eyes, and quickly looked away.
This time, Zheng Xiu didn't need to use the [Detection] ability, and through his own observation, he was also vaguely aware of the other party's identity.
Boss Zheng has dealt with this kind of person a lot of times.
If you are not rich, you are expensive.
Rich and noble families have an obvious characteristic: they are afraid of death, especially afraid of death.
Seeing that the old man carefully took out a silver needle from his bosom and probed it into the soup, confirming that it was non-toxic before letting others take it, Zheng Xiu nodded secretly, and affirmed this matter even more.
Zheng Xiu lowered his head and drank the broth, and the village chief said that it was the white carp that was abundant in the village, the meat was tender and smooth, and the fish soup boiled out was sweet and delicious. Even Boss Zheng, who has eaten a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, almost gnawed off his tongue when he drank this fish soup for the first time.
"Is this a fish?"
Zheng Xiu was suspicious at first, but the village chief smiled and fished out the boiled fish bones from the pot, and Zheng Xiu believed it.
Glancing at the soft fish skeletons, Zheng Xiu drank all the bowls, and when he was about to add a bowl, a strange thought flashed through his mind:
"Why are all those fish bones gone?"
