The two quickly followed Mrs. Xu to the breakfast table, where the eight surviving players were already waiting.

It seems that last night was another Christmas Eve, after all, Mrs. Xu had just welcomed Qin Mo back and drove away He Chengwei, the murderer, and she was in a good mood, and she did not deliberately use the rules to harvest the lives of guests in the middle of the night.

"I'll bring breakfast to you," Mrs. Xu rubbed her hand on her apron, and then lifted the lid of the pot, "Today I ate your uncle's favorite zongzi, they used to go to the south to sing opera, saying that they all eat salted meat and mung bean zongzi during the New Year, and the glutinous rice and salted egg yolk are dipped in chili dishes, which taste very good." ”

"If we eat the dumplings in the morning, maybe they'll go home in the evening......" Mrs. Xu muttered to herself as she untied the dumplings.

Qi Yan looked at the group photo of the six people above the TV cabinet again, and there were still two holes in the group photo to be filled.

That is the position that belongs to Xu Zhiwen and Xu Zhiwei.

Lin Peilan noticed Qi Yan's gaze, and didn't ask anything, only smiled and said, "It seems that we like the children to make new discoveries again." ”

Qi Yan also smiled: "After all, I am also looking forward to the reunion of my family." ”

"By the way, what is the content of the old yellow calendar in your room today? The taboo on our side is: seeking children, seeking medical treatment, and seeking wealth. "As Mrs. Xu's family, Qi Ji exchanged information with other players.

Qi Ji is also very curious about whether the content of the old yellow calendar in the guest room is consistent with the content of the old yellow calendar of the "family".

Lin Peilan shrugged: "It's the same, it seems that the content of the old yellow calendar will not change because of the player's identity." ”

While they were talking, Mrs. Xu, who was originally busy untying zongzi, was suddenly stunned, she looked straight in the direction of the aisle, and all the players also followed Mrs. Xu's line of sight-

"Niannian, you finally came over to have breakfast with us, come on, eat salted meat and mung bean dumplings today, your brothers' favorite taste in the past." Mrs. Xu hurriedly beckoned her daughter to sit down, and it seemed that the appearance of Niannian made her a little surprised and happy.

The paper figure sat down as she said, and she happened to be sitting next to Qi Yan.

She seemed to have forgotten her strange reaction to Qi Yan before, and returned to a unique indifferent appearance of a paper man.

Now Qi Yan is already the identity of many joys, that is, the niece of the paper man Niannian, who belongs to his "old man", if he is lucky, the paper man Niannian will open his mouth to talk to him.

"Auntie, Happy New Year." Qi Yan smiled on his face, and took the initiative to talk to the paper man sitting next to him.

No one can refuse such a polite and sweet-mouthed junior.

The paper man was stunned, and then took out two red envelopes stiffly, handed them to Qi Jiu and Qi Xiaonian respectively, and said in a mechanical tone: "How happy and happy, grow up quickly." ”

Players: "......" rarely has players with such thick skin, and even the New Year's red envelopes of paper people are not spared.

However, this paper man is quite active in paying money......

Qi Yan happily accepted the red envelope, said a few auspicious words sweetly, and then introduced the topic very naturally: "By the way, why didn't I see my aunt come over for dinner yesterday?" ”

The paper man thought: "I'm busy with my own things in the house, and if the time is not coincidental, I don't want to delay the family's meal." ”

Qi Yan quickly grasped the key point of the answer: "That's it, it's a pity, last night's dumplings were delicious... But my aunt has time to come over for dinner today, right? ”

The paper man nodded: "Well, there is no way to continue the matter at hand today, so I simply take advantage of the New Year to accompany everyone." ”

Qi Yan changed his words and said tentatively: "There is no way to continue, is it because of the taboo items on the old yellow calendar?" ”

Since the content of the family and the guest's taboos are the same, then Niannian mentioned just now that there is no way to continue the matter at hand, Qi Ji reasonably speculates that it is precisely because of the constraints of the taboo that she has no way to push the so-called private matter forward.

And today's taboo content has been written:

"Today's taboo: seeking children, seeking medical treatment, seeking wealth"

Qi Ji already has some guesses about what the paper man Nian Nian has done.

Chapter 220: Year (39)

According to the hints of the dream, the paper man Nian Nian was weak and crazy in the hospital bed to carry out the ritual of worshiping God, and the copper basin she used to burn paper money contained a pair of flesh and blood blurred organs.

Qi Ji doubted that Nian Nian was seeking a son through the ritual of worshiping God.

And in the dream of playing the song "Non-existent Friends" on the piano, the guy gave a hint in his ear: "Move next door to me".

If 079's so-called next door is 501 with mirrors hanging all over it, then the location of 079's character is room 502, which is the room where the paper man Niannian lives.

It seems that the paper figure Nian Nian has a deep relationship with the role played by 079, and Qi Yan even suspects that 079 plays the vigorous and beating "meat block" in the copper basin.

Previously, Qi Zhen thought about whether 079 would be one of the two brothers Xu Zhiwen and Xu Zhiwei, but since that guy naughtily called him "male sister" in his dream, it means that the other party's role is the same generation as many Xi, which can rule out the possibility that 079 is the twin son of the Xu family.

The paper man Xu Minxin also reminded very seriously - "There is no little boy in our building, do you remember?" ”

At that time, Xu Minxin's tone seemed to be afraid of something, and then avoided the fear itself through clumsy denial.

If you don't want to face your fear, you deny it, which is the instinctive human reaction to protect yourself.

Perhaps the existence of 079 is an unspeakable existence for the Xu family, so they extremely deny it and avoid it completely.

This is also the sentence in the lyrics of "Non-existent Friends": "Because it is a non-existent friend, Mom and Dad don't want to admit it, it is a friend who is not allowed to exist, it is an extra 'person' in the room......"

It turns out that it is not allowed to exist......

Qi Yan became more and more interested in the exploration of 079's characters.

"Auntie, I picked this up, I don't know if it's your thing?" Qi Yan handed the prop "non-existent handkerchief" to the paper figure Niannian and asked tentatively.

This handkerchief is a prop that he won for answering correctly in the quiz of the party, and it is also the "game object" that the guy in his dream secretly stuffed into his pocket.

The moment Nian Nian saw the handkerchief, her originally light and fluttering body suddenly began to tremble, and then she let out a sharp giggle, Nian Nian carefully took the handkerchief from Qi Yan's hand: "Thank you, thank you for helping me get it back, I know he must exist, I know ......"

"If you don't eat zongzi again, it's going to be cold." Mrs. Xu impatiently tapped the edge of the porcelain bowl with her chopsticks, and reminded with a gloomy face.

Obviously, Mrs. Xu didn't want to see Nian Nian like this.

This also confirms Qi Yan's previous guess from the side that the role played by 079 is a little boy who is not allowed to exist.

【Serious warning! Your current actions may trigger an abandoned storyline, and the hidden characters in the abandoned side story have a danger factor of A+++++......]

"Am I right to be judged to be the highest level of danger? System teacher. Qi Yan smiled and helped the system finish the second half of the sentence.

【…… Right]

Qi Yan smiled: "Thank you for giving me the clues, I think I know what to do." ”

The system only provided early warning for Qi Ji according to its own duties, but its real reaction confirmed Qi Ji's guess very well, and it came in a very timely manner.

Because of Mrs. Xu's action of knocking on the bowl just now, the breakfast table fell silent.

Compared with yesterday's somewhat sweet rice cakes, Qi Yan seemed to prefer today's salted pork egg yolk mung bean zongzi, he quickly finished eating the zongzi with spicy sauce in his bowl, and asked Mrs. Xu: "Grandma, can I eat half another zongzi?" ”

The original suffocating atmosphere was broken in an instant, and Mrs. Xu showed a loving smile again: "Of course, children need to eat more in order to grow up quickly." ”

Qi Yan knows how to please the elders, and almost all old aunts want their grandchildren to have a good appetite, and they want the children to like the meals they prepare.

While re-untying the zongzi for Qi Jiu, Mrs. Xu began to babble again: "Your cousin came home last night, and I think you and Duole have also met." ”

"Well, my cousin and aunt came over on purpose to give me and Duole the red envelope." Qi Zhen replied.

Mrs. Xu smiled: "In the past, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, girls who married out were not allowed to go back to their parents' homes, but now we don't pay attention to these, at least in our family, we don't pay attention to this broken rule, why can't girls come back?" 'The water spilled by the married daughter' is a bastard, who is a reliable parent who doesn't want to see their daughter? It doesn't matter if he's on the first and second days of the new year..."

"How good it is for my daughter to go back to her parents' house on the first day of the new year, so that she can rest at home for a night, and she can play mahjong with her mother's family on the second day of junior high school."

Mrs. Xu sat back at the dinner table with the zongzi, and rolled her eyes to look at everyone: "Anyway, I have nothing to do today, and after breakfast, you will play mahjong with me, I haven't played it for a long time, I miss it." ”

As soon as Mrs. Xu said this, almost all the players stopped their movements, and everyone immediately became vigilant, holding chopsticks, you look at me, I look at you, obviously, Mrs. Xu is starting to release today's task.

The atmosphere at the dinner table instantly became tense, and the players began to speculate about the risks and crises that the mahjong task might face.

The more times like this, the more envious they are of Qi Ji and Qi Xiaonian, who have already obtained their family identity cards, after all, family means that they will be protected.

Mrs. Xu looked at everyone's different looks in her eyes and smiled: "What? Aren't you happy? The rules of our family here, you must play mahjong for the New Year, and this year can be smooth and smooth, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing. ”

"My mahjong has been ashes for a long time, it's a pity, the family used to get together, and the happiest thing for the New Year is to get food, watch the party, play mahjong, what a good day." Mrs. Xu said with emotion.

"As a guest, of course we are happy to accompany you to play mahjong," Lin Peilan continued, "However, the mahjong games are different in different places, and we are not familiar with your mahjong, so we may have to bother to explain the rules." ”

Lin Peilan knew that the task could not be avoided, and as a player, he could only accept it and find a way to crack it, so he took the initiative to ask the rules and strive for a little more time to think, which was also more beneficial to the player.

Mrs. Xu nodded: "Naturally, I will explain the rules of mahjong to you." ”

"First, the mahjong table can not be 'missing corners', each table of mahjong must have the participation of the main family and guests, we can't hang the guests to ignore it, right? Guests play mahjong with us, which is our hospitality. ”

"Second, the rules of the mahjong table here are that underage children and paper people can't go on the mahjong table, this is a matter of principle, and it must not be broken, if there are naughty children on the table, it is the responsibility of adults."

When Mrs. Xu announced the second rule, Qi Yan and Qi Xiaonian glanced at each other, and Lin Peilan also looked at the two of them.

In other words, as Mrs. Xu's granddaughter, Duoxi and Duole are still children and are not allowed to play mahjong at the table.

"Third, the mahjong time is four hours, and it can't end early."

"Fourth, the players at the table, once they lose all their chips, they must either change or make up their chips, otherwise they will ......" Speaking of this, Mrs. Xu suddenly smiled secretly.

"I think of these four rules for the time being, if there is anything to pay attention to in the future, I will inform you in time, I hope you have a good time, there is nothing more suitable than mahjong to pass the time during the New Year reunion," Mrs. Xu put down her dishes and chopsticks and got up from the table, "Guests, please wait a moment, I will go and turn the mahjong out." ”

As soon as Mrs. Xu left, everyone began to talk about it with trepidation.

"Should we win or lose at the mahjong table later? Mrs. Xu didn't say anything in the rules just now, so can we do it as needed... Something like that...? ”

"Our rule there is that when playing mahjong during the New Year, juniors can't win against elders, otherwise it's unlucky, and I don't know if this rule applies here."

"Don't talk about your rules there, even if you only look at the taboo content on the old yellow calendar, we can't win today."

"Yes, it is clearly written on the old yellow calendar, don't you ask for money today, won't you violate the taboo if you win money?"

"But Mrs. Xu said that if you lose all your weights, you will either change people or make up chips, I don't know if there are any pits in this rule, and whether people who lose all their chips will face any unknown punishment."

"In my opinion, it's a big question who wants to serve at the table......"

Qi Ji and Qi Xiaonian, who were forbidden to sit by the rules, did not participate in the discussion among the players, Qi Ji was thoughtful for a while, and then obediently put away the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

Just when everyone was discussing, Mrs. Xu came over with a mahjong table, and when Qi Ji saw this, she immediately stepped forward to help.

"Grandma, the old yellow calendar said that it is not advisable to seek wealth today, what if you win mahjong later? Wouldn't it be taboo? Qi Yan asked tentatively, it had been confirmed before, and the main family was also bound by the rules.

Instead of speculating on assumptions, ask NPCs what they would do in the same situation.

Mrs. Xu smiled and patted Qi Yan's shoulder kindly: "Silly boy, I can scatter the money I won, for example, giving the money from playing mahjong to a few of you children to give red envelopes and buy candy to eat, it is equivalent to offsetting the taboo, and scattering is scattered, how can it be considered to seek wealth?" ”

Qi Zhen suddenly realized that he really didn't know these rules because he had never touched mahjong, but fortunately, Mrs. Xu had a good enough impression of him and was very patient.

Qi Yan asked again: "What will happen if someone at the table loses all the chips and does not change people to the table and does not make up the chips?" ”

Mrs. Xu's chaotic eyes rolled mechanically: "Who knows? But the table must not lack corners, and mahjong will definitely go on and will not stop. ”

Qi Jiu's expression paused slightly, he pondered the sentence "The table must not lack corners, mahjong will definitely continue", is it understandable that there will be any "people" who will come to fill the vacancy?

A dangerous and interesting plan is already in the works......

Room 405.
