Tranquil mountain village 17
"I have a rough guess about the objects that make us hallucinate, and when we see something similar, we look away." Xu Yi said: "What caused the illusion should be a pure white thing. ”
Because when Xu Yi first entered the illusion, he saw a pure white object coming out of Tang Ning's mouth, and the second time he entered the illusion, it happened when he looked at Tang Ning's pure white mask, in this gray village, it should not be a coincidence that he saw such a bright and pure white color before entering the illusion twice.
Yug nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would definitely pay attention.
This village is not very big, and Xu Yi walked with Yuge for about half an hour to the end of the village after suffering a leg and foot injury. In the process, they also crossed a river, which was about three meters wide, and the water was very clear, but there was no bottom in sight, and the river must be very deep. There is a stone bridge on the river, most of the bridge is not under water, the deck is almost level with the water, and there is still some water in the depression on the deck.
It is speculated that Murakami's parasites exist in the water, so Xu Yi and Yuge were especially careful not to let the water touch their body parts when crossing the bridge.
The dividing line between the village and the outside world is very clear, there are no weeds or trees on the dirt floor of the village, and outside the village is an overgrown woods, which is the same when they enter the village from the west, it seems that it is a village surrounded by trees.
The last time they entered from due west, they had reached the easternmost sacred tree in the village, and the distance between the two ends was only about three thousand meters.
"This mountain village is obviously much smaller than the average village, and the population is not large." Xu Yi looked at the woods in front of him and said.
The closer you get to the edge of the village, the fewer people live there, and there are no more people in the vicinity.
Xu Yi and Yuge gained nothing in this operation.
They rushed back to the village chief's house before dark, and everyone else had already arrived, and Xu Yi and Yuge were the last to return.
When they arrived, He Zhengping was talking to everyone about his relationship with his daughters, with deep sadness in his eyes, while everyone else had expressions on their faces.
"I know it's not easy for you, and I know you miss your daughter very much, but you've already said it at noon. There's no need to keep talking. Dong Mu lifted his glasses and said with a little impatience.
He Zhengping didn't argue, but muttered: "I miss my daughters so much, I really miss them, I really want to see them again." ”
That look of lost soul made Dong Shu stop attacking him.
Xu Yi looked at He Zhengping with some doubts, did he mention his daughter so repeatedly yesterday? It's really not like his character at all.
A middle-aged and elderly man has a more self-righteous personality, even if he really thinks about his daughter, I am afraid he will not talk about it all the time.
Xu Yi's suspicion of He Zhengping has returned, but how to explain the mutual evidence between Pan Yangbing and He Zhengping? After all, there is a clear manifestation of Tangning's abnormal changes.
Among the taskers, only He Zhengping and Dong Shu ate for dinner.
Dong Shu didn't seem to care at all, and after eating, he took out a tissue and wiped his mouth elegantly.
She also decided that the real way to survive was to eat the food in the village instead of the food in her luggage, and loudly persuaded the young couple sitting next to her to eat some too.
Shu Qianlan and Yan Guan silently moved away from her.
When they returned to the room, Xu Yi whispered in Xi Yue's ear: "Be careful of Dong Shu tonight." ”
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." But Xi Yue looked more worried than Xu Yi: "You have to be more careful. ”
Xu Yi knew Xi Yue's worries, because Tang Ning was almost certainly not human, and they still had to spend a few nights with him.
However, according to the laws of this system, Xu Yi will definitely not let them fall into a situation of death, although there is a time bomb of Tang Ning, there will definitely be a way to spend the night safely.
Xu Yi and the trembling Yuge followed the smiling Tang Ning back to the Tang family.
They quickly returned to the room while Tang Ning was helping Tang's father and mother with things, and after confirming that the hair on the zipper of the luggage had not fallen out, and the position of the hair clip had not changed, they both devoured it.
They hadn't eaten all day and were finally feeling some strength back.
After replenishing enough carbohydrates, Xu Yi felt that his brain could finally spin normally, and he had been feeling a little groggy before, making it difficult for him to concentrate since the evening.
Now I find that the exchange of points for food or water in the original system is still very useful in this world.
"What are we going to do tonight?" Yug asked.
"Just like you did last night, go to sleep and don't open your eyes." Xu Yi thought about it for a while and came to his conclusion.
"And what if he attacks us while we're asleep?" Yug worried.
"I don't think so, if he could have attacked directly, he would have killed both of us last night. Don't go through any trouble dragging me into the illusion and killing me in such a troublesome way, but it doesn't work out.
And last night you fell asleep, and he didn't attack you. Xu Yi said.
Yug nodded, but said with a bitter face, "I definitely won't be able to sleep tonight." ”
"However, I think it must be too easy to just close my eyes and get through tonight." Xu Yi thought carefully.
"Will there be any other dangers?" Yug said with some desperation.
"I suspect Downing will do anything to keep our eyes open." Xu Yi said: "For example, he will say something confusing, or make some strange noises. ”
"Then I don't open my eyes no matter what I hear." Yug swears.
"If you heard me say to you, open your eyes, would you open them?" Xu Yi suddenly looked into Yuge's eyes and said solemnly.
"Huh? Why do you make me open my eyes? Doesn't it mean that it is dangerous to open your eyes? Yug looked puzzled.
"You have to remember! It doesn't matter what the voice is, whose voice it is, and you don't even listen to what it says! Xu Yi stared at Yuge's eyes tightly and explained.
Yug suddenly realized: "You mean, he may imitate other people's voices and mislead me?" ”
"Quite possibly, and maybe even affect your sense of touch, forcing you to open your eyes. But you have to remember, don't open your eyes no matter what! Xu Yi emphasized again and again.
"Got it." Yug nodded with an ugly face.
It didn't take long for Downing to enter the house.
"I'm tired of the day, get ready to sleep, and tomorrow I'll give you a day off and move freely in the village." While taking off his coat, he ignored Xu Yi and Yuge's vigilant eyes and lay down in the middle of the bed.
Looks like both of them will have to sleep next to him tonight.
Xu Yi and Yuge could only lie next to him one by one, after Xu Yi blew out the kerosene lamp, he quickly closed his eyes, he tried his best to make himself asleep, but found that the more anxious he fell asleep, the more awake he was, and he didn't know how Yuge was doing now.
"Xu Yi." A sticky female voice sounded in his ears, and Xu Yi even felt the hot breath in his ears.
Here we go! Xu Yi was a little nervous in his heart, he tried to divert his attention and began to recite various physical formulas in his heart.
"I see your fears." It was as if someone was talking in his ear.
Xu Yi closed his eyes tightly, and decided in his heart that he must find something tomorrow to plug his ears before going to bed.
"Don't you open your eyes and see?" The voice was bewitching.
At this level, he still wanted to trick himself into opening his eyes, Xu Yi felt in his heart that he really overestimated this ghost.
"If you don't open your eyes, I'll turn your fears into reality, hehehehehe." The voice chuckled eerily.
Then, from all directions of Xu Yi, there was a sound of rustling.
