"I have already told Steward Yu about this, he is also an old man in the town, and he understands the rules."

"We get it." The young man in the gray shirt sitting next to the inch-headed man answered.

"Why do we have to use mahogany nails?" The inch-headed man asked again.

Xie Jinshou waved his hand, and his tone was slightly dark, "That's how the rules have been handed down, how can you juniors have so many whys, just do it." ”

Peach wood nails, evil spirits, Jiang Qi thoughtfully, under normal circumstances, who would use this thing to control their relatives?

"Girl, the last time I saw you, it seems like five years ago." The aunt at the same table looked at Jiang Qi, "At that time, you were still young, and you have become more and more beautiful after a few years." ”

Jiang Qi nodded in response.

"This is your friend in the provincial capital? Heard of working at a newspaper? The aunt turned to Fang Yuan again, and praised without hesitation, "Young and promising, at first glance, he is a literate person." ”

Fang Yuan didn't know what the other party meant, so he wanted to ask him if Sister Qi was married, but it was not good to say it directly on this occasion.

"No, no, I can't call it yet, Jiang Qi's position in the newspaper is one level higher than mine, and he plans to send her to study abroad."

The implication is that don't plan for those men in the family who engage in feudal etiquette, it's better to rest and eat seriously.

The man who fights Sister Qi's idea is not afraid of being killed.

At the end of the dinner, the sound of porcelain breaking suddenly sounded at the other table, followed by the exclamations of the crowd.

Jiang Qi saw a person fall to the ground, the bowl and wine glass broke into several pieces, and the person next to him squatted and called eagerly,

"Second uncle, second uncle! What happened to you? Go to the doctor! Fast! ”

The medical hall in the town was not far away, and the little maid at home quickly hurried into the door with people, and crossed the crowd of onlookers to the second uncle of the Xie family.

The doctor checked his pulse first, then opened his eyelids and looked at it, then got up and sighed and shook his head, "It's gone." ”

"How could it be...... How could this be......" The people at the table looked flustered and incredulous.

"What just happened?" Xie Jinshou stood up and asked the people at the table solemnly.

His calm voice stopped the surrounding discussions, the two white lanterns at the door of the mourning hall were tilted by the wind, and the boy closest to Second Uncle Xie was already scared silly, "No, I don't know, Second Uncle, he suddenly fell." ”

"I had a good meal, I said I would like to have a cup ......of respect for the second uncle," the other man said hesitantly, "I don't know why, the second uncle suddenly looked, looked over there, didn't speak, and then ......."

He was pointing in the middle of the hall, under the half-burned candle on the left.

There was only straw for the worshippers, and in the middle of the front were the meals for the deceased, the flickering candles on the porcelain bowls, and the shadow of the white cloth covering the body of Master Xie.

No one knew why the second uncle of the Xie family looked there and suddenly died of horror on his face.

Or rather, no one knows what he saw at the end of his life.

When this happens, the guests present will feel a little nervous, and no one has the heart to sit down and continue eating.

Several young people carried back the body of the second uncle of the family together, and the rest of the people also said goodbye and left.

Soon, another family in Qingshi Town hung up a white lantern, and the mournful cry came out intermittently on this night, but when you listen carefully, it seems to be sandwiched with a childish and sharp laughter.

The lively Xie Mansion suddenly became deserted, and the wind blowing through the hall made people's hearts cold.

Except for a few main tables, the unfinished dishes on the rest of the tables were basically packed and taken away, and the house's maid and hired helpers cleaned up the table together.

Half an hour later, everyone who should leave the house and go home left, and Steward Yu, who had been busy all day, also went back to the room to rest, and the mansion was completely silent, like a huge tomb.

Jiang Qi took advantage of the time to go back to the room early to clean up, and exchanged information with Fang Yuan by the way.

She is not an immediate family member, and in such a town that values incense, it is not her turn to do important things, and she doesn't fold paper money and burn paper money in the mourning hall during the day, so she follows and recognizes various NPC relatives here.

Fang Yuan's fingers were dipped in tea, and he drew the main street of Qingshi Town on the table.

"Here are shops and roadside stalls, and further south is the ancestral hall, which is only open for ancestor worship and important things in the town. The town is indeed wealthy, with teahouses and shops. ”

"There is a river to the east, and there is an NPC old man who said, don't go there at night, I asked why, he only said that people have drowned in the river, and water ghosts will catch alternately."

Fang Yuan recalled, "By the way, on the way, I also saw two stone chastity archways, the carving is very fine, and the one that is close to the time was erected more than a hundred years ago. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Qi leaned back, "The archway you saw is related to a few families with heads and faces in Qingshi Town?" ”

Fang Yuan was not surprised that Jiang Qi could guess, "In that era, large families took this as a comparison, it was an honor to have a thrifty woman in the family, and there were preferential taxes, which was also counted as the merit of local officials. ”

Jiang Qi: "I'll go to the mourning hall tonight, and you stay in the room to see if there is anything abnormal." ”

"Okay." Fang Yuan took a deep breath and did psychological construction for himself.

There's nothing to be afraid of, there's nothing corporeal about, it's just a monster that will attack mentally!

When Jiang Qi went out, Fang Yuan stopped her again, "Sister Qi, that person died inexplicably after eating the banquet, and when there are still the most people, you should be careful." ”

Jiang Qi bowed, "I have measure." ”

The biggest difference between the identity played by this dungeon player is the intimacy with the deceased.

——

Rooms in the outer courtyard of the mansion.

Guo Yuda, who had an inch of hair, tore off the white cloth on his body and threw it on the table: "This copy is a bit interesting." ”

"Those people are probably also coming for the first pass." Mo Shouliang, who was wearing a short shirt, put his right foot on his left leg, and his face showed a ruthlessness that he was determined to win, "I saw Wang Yue during the day, and he was only one person." ”

"Let's enter the dungeon in seconds, and the team that is dismantled can only blame them for their bad luck." Cao Lang sighed fakely,

"I've heard some news about this, who is closest to the dead man and who is the most dangerous, more than one person will die tonight, the mourning hall will let the person named Xie An carry it for two days, let's get the clues, and then clean them up."

Mo Shouliang smiled, "Wang Yue has no one to cooperate, his combat power has to be cut off, and he can only be pressed and beaten by us, as for the remaining two, I don't know where they came out, and the combat power will not be higher than ours." ”

"There is one thing, I think it's a little strange, Shou Liang, didn't you say just now, whoever is a filial son has the highest combat power, we haven't heard the name Xie An, shouldn't this person be Wang Yue's?" Cao Lang said.

"The corpse in the mourning hall is this surname, whoever takes the identity of a filial son is called this name, didn't Mida and I change our surnames in the game because of the identity of our relatives."
