25 Mountain Village Wedding Banquet (1)
Of course, Yan Yueming will not change his mind, once he recognizes something and makes a decision, he will not be easily shaken.
For the next three days, he underwent physical training, running, doing exercises, and boxing under the guidance of Li Heping. Li Heping created his own boxing method, and it is said that one punch is a "little third son", and he doesn't know how long it will take to practice.
Anyway, after practicing for three days, Yan Yueming felt that she was like, maybe, probably, a little stronger, right? At least if he fights with a dog, he won't turn around and run.
On the third day, at six o'clock in the morning, Yan Yueming was woken up from bed by Li Zheng, saying that the entrance to the gap had appeared.
Yan Yueming saw that there was still dew on his hair, and judged that he had just come back from outside, so she hurriedly got up and prepared. He has a backpack that he has brought from his home to Garden Road and from Garden Road to here, with emergency supplies he has prepared, as well as a change of underwear to change in, and so on.
After breakfast, a little after half past six, the trio of master and apprentice set off.
Walking along the stream next to the campsite up the mountain, hiking for about half an hour, around the mountain spring, Yan Yueming saw a wooden plank that looked like it was about to collapse...... Latrine?
"Is this it?" He couldn't help but wonder.
In the past few days, Li Zheng has gone up the mountain alone to investigate, so it is the first time for Yan Yueming to come here. He looked left and right, and found that there was a word carved on the wooden wall on the back of the latrine: XXX came here to visit.
Facing the doubts of the little apprentice, Li Heping said calmly: "Teacher, I am very concerned about public health, I urinate and I am not casual. ”
In short, he really just wanted to go to the toilet that day, and who knew that when he opened a toilet, he fell into the gap. Of course, in his experience, when he saw the latrine, he noticed that there was something abnormal in the latrine, and as an outstanding retired employee of the Gas Phase Bureau, for the sake of the safety of the public, he naturally wanted to risk his life and investigate.
Li Zheng: "You're not afraid that it will collapse?" ”
Li Heping: "How can a husband look forward and backward when doing things? ”
Without further ado, Li Heping pushed open the precarious door of the latrine and walked in first. Yan Yueming followed, and Li Zheng walked in the rear.
The latrine has been abandoned for many years, so it doesn't stink. When Yan Yueming entered, Li Heping was already no longer in it, and as soon as he stepped in, he found that he was like a movie transition, and he came to another one in an instant-thatched toilet.
A foul smell hits your face.
Yan Yueming hurriedly pushed the door out, and saw Li Heping waiting outside, as well as the picturesque quaint mountain village he had only seen in film and television dramas.
The warm sunlight came from afar, like broken gold sprinkled on the roof, the black tiles were layered, and the eaves were warped, revealing the mottled carvings below, which had a unique ancient charm.
The breeze blows, the air outside is fresh and natural, and you can faintly hear the crisp birdsong coming from nowhere.
"This village is surrounded by mountains, and where we are now, probably in the heart of the village." Li Heping's voice sounded at the right time, "Low-level gaps, only character design, no plot, low risk; The danger level of this village is probably medium, and when the medium starts, there will be a plot. ”
Yan Yueming immediately reacted, it was the knowledge class that started again.
"How many levels are there in the division of the gap?" Yan Yueming actively asked.
"Four. Low, medium, high, deep, the hooligans you saw before came from the depths, and that was the most dangerous. Li Heping said.
Hooligans?
Yan Yueming couldn't remember what it was for a while, so she frowned and thought about it. At this time, Li Zheng also came in, Yan Yueming looked at him, and suddenly thought that he was there last time, and his memory gradually began to loosen, and some impressive things appeared in turn. For example, the Hobo mark, such as the hooligan.
"That's what you remember?" Yan Yueming blinked, feeling a little magical.
"Your memory is already higher than normal." Li Zheng said, slowly walking to the front, "Last time, you were able to memorize all the Hobo marks in the mirror in a short period of time, this is a talent." Of course, the fact that you can remember so quickly also has something to do with the fact that it took you to come out of the last gap. ”
I see.
He praised me.
Yan Yueming was quite happy, thinking that the teacher was next to her, she quickly restrained her expression.
Li Heping's words are very understandable, the last time I was in the quiet neighborhood, what was shown in the houses was the character design. No. 9 is a lonely old lady who loves to knit, and No. 12 is a gentleman who loves cleanliness, but they are not related to each other and will not be connected into a plot.
And now......
Yan Yueming's thinking couldn't help but start diverging, "Then what is the plot in this small mountain village?" ”
"That's complicated." Li Heping was also carrying a bag, looking like an ordinary fat old man, but in that blessed belly, it was actually filled with decades of rich experience, no matter what came to his mouth, it showed ease.
He told Yan Yueming as if he was telling a story: "There are a total of 50 families here, and there are no modern products in the village, they are wearing ancient costumes, and they still use traditional characters." The rich family surnamed Wang in the east of the village is marrying his only son, and he is making a big show for this. The exit of this gap and the message I found are all in the royal mansion, so the plot of the wedding banquet must be the top priority. In addition, in the north of the village, the incense burner of a farmer's house fell down, and the house caught fire and burned half; There seems to be someone on the south side of the village who is preparing to flee, packing up and piling up the hall, and you look at the front of this-"
The two walked forward while talking, and Li Zheng followed slowly and did not interject, as if he was playing in the mountains and rivers. br />
In front of it is a small courtyard with a single family, but the yard is very small, and the courtyard gate is very old and slightly shabby. There are two copies of the "Entry and Exit Instructions" posted on the old courtyard door, one belonging to the house and the other is the general rules of the village. I think it was the handwriting of teacher Li Heping.
"Qin Shusheng's House Entry and Exit Instructions"
One: Don't make loud noises.
2. If a man enters, do not close the door.
"Instructions for Entering and Exiting Small Mountain Villages"
One: Don't drink alcohol.
Two: You must hold an umbrella when it rains, and if the rain is red, ignore it and don't be surprised.
Three: All houses must be knocked on the door when entering and exiting.
Four: Don't stand under a tree with a lantern lit.
Five: Don't pick up anything that falls on the ground.
Six: Don't go out at night.
Seven: But it is safe to sit down and eat, and clean dishes and chopsticks represent empty seats. In case of danger, you can take refuge, but remember not to sit in the wrong place, otherwise you will bear the consequences.
Eight: Time flows at twice the speed here, six hours for day and night. Please pay attention to the time.
Li Heping: "The last time I came alone, the rules I summed up were limited, and I couldn't explore the entire village, so even if there are entry and exit instructions, you still need to be cautious, understand?" ”
Yan Yueming wrote it down carefully, "Understood." ”
"There is a scholar living here, surnamed Qin, and there is a widowed mother in the family." Li Heping said, knocking on the door twice skillfully, and then pushed open the half-hidden door and entered.
This Qin scholar's house has a total of three rooms, plus a small courtyard. A vegetable field was reclaimed in the small courtyard, and next to the vegetable field was a chicken pen, but there were no chickens in the chicken pen.
"On a happy day, some strange things happened in the village, such as the mysterious death of chickens and ducks." As he spoke, Li Heping walked towards the water tank. I saw a few dead chickens floating on the water, crowded next to each other, and the water was so dark and heavy that I couldn't distinguish the original color, let alone see if there was blood in it.
But what surprised Yan Yueming the most was that there were really animals here, and he vaguely heard birdsong just now.
In the Silent Neighborhood, not to mention the birds, even the wind is almost stationary.
He immediately expressed this doubt, and Li Heping said: "Medium gaps, in addition to plots, there are occasional animals and insects. In the high-level or deep crevices, you can even see 'people'. ”
Yan Yueming was slightly stunned, "People? NPC? ”
Li Heping smiled, "You can say the same." At that time, you will have to carefully distinguish whether you are seeing a wanderer from the real world like you, or an NPC created by the world consciousness. ”
After finishing speaking, Li Heping looked at the dead chicken again and said: "The chickens will not jump into the water tank to seek death, they will be one after another, and they will not be idle and panic." ”
On a day of great joy, a plague of blood and light.
Yan Yueming's mind suddenly flashed these eight big words, and at this time, Li Zheng, who had been quiet and a beautiful man, suddenly spoke, "How did this chicken die?" ”
Li Heping casually picked up a wooden stick from the side and forked a chicken up, "I fished it out last time and saw it, there is no wound on the body, let alone signs of poisoning, there is no smell of blood in the tank, it is like - drowned." ”
Drown? But the people in the village raise chickens, either to eat or to sell, who would drown a few chickens on a whim? Yan Yueming thought of the unpredictability of the Gap World, and couldn't help but whisper, "Will there be ghosts here?" ”
Li Zheng hooked the corners of his mouth, "If there is a ghost, I won't kill you first." ”
Yan Yueming was puzzled, "Why?" ”
I look like I'd better kill!
Li Heping replied: "Because your seniors are the best-looking, don't all ghosts like good-looking." ”
Yan Yueming suddenly realized, Li Zheng saw his expression, he couldn't hold back, reached out and carried his backpack strap, and pulled the person away from Li Heping with a cold face, "Don't listen to his nonsense." ”
What can Yan Yueming do?
The gods fought, and Xiao Ming suffered. He had to honestly follow Li Zheng and go into the house with him to investigate. It is said that poor scholars, poor scholars, this Qin scholar's family is indeed poor, and the tables and chairs at home are missing a leg, and they have no money to repair them.
"Wang Fuhu married his only son and held a big wedding banquet, so on a day like today, is the whole village going to eat and drink?" Yan Yueming said.
Li Heping smiled and narrowed his eyes and shook his head, "I can't be sure if he went to the wedding banquet, but he definitely went out, leaving his widowed mother at home alone." The first time I came here, I had just discovered the rule of knocking on the door, and out of caution, I closed the door as soon as I came in, and when I got into the room, I was almost strangled by the rope hanging from the beam above the house. ”
Yan Yueming was slightly stunned, "Why...... Is it because of widows? ”
Li Heping: "There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and the door is open just so that no one will gossip." But when a foreign man comes in and closes the door, and the lonely man and widow are in the same room, the crisis of 'hanging' will be triggered. If her son was there, probably not. ”
Hearing this, Yan Yueming couldn't help but look up, and her right hand subconsciously covered her neck. The beams of the house were empty at the moment, and there was no sign of a trap.
But this rule is so strange and unpredictable that it can be seen by the naked eye?
Amitabha.
Good, good, good.
