But this cry is really sharp to the extreme, the sound is close to transposition when it is high, and the volume that erupts makes people feel more like it is struggling or screaming.

Needless to say, almost all players wake up at that moment and fall into some sort of alert state.

Those bodies that were covered by thin quilts were slightly tense, like beasts ready to hunt, ready to jump out and hold their prey at any time.

In the middle of the night, Ah Dao also slept with his own knife.

After that cry erupted, his movements did not change very sharply, except that his fingers were slightly upward, against the position of the scabbard, and as long as he used a slight force, he could immediately unsheath the knife.

The window connecting to the outside world is still calm, and there are no terrible grimaces. But the cry grew louder and louder, and there were many more cries of different timbres, which penetrated through the window without hesitation.

Probably only Yuan Yuxue stood up from the side of the bed silently.

He was still a long way from the window, but his eyes blinked slightly, and he scanned in the direction where the wailing was coming from.

It is not a cry for help after an attack on humanity.

Yuan Yuxue saw a black coffin made of paulownia wood, and in front of the coffin, there were several people who were crying and half-kneeling.

They opened their mouths and howled, and let out such a terrible cry that seemed to be more heartbroken than anyone else, as if they were going to faint in the next moment. Their voices were wide open, and they could even see a little bit of bright red tonsils, but their expressions were abnormal...... Indifferent.

Or rather, expressionless.

His face was dry, and there was not a tear.

Somehow, as if they were conscious, they turned slightly to look this way.

It was as if they were separated by countless spaces, and Yuan Yuxue, who was watching them, looked at each other slightly.

There is also a strange indifference under the eyes.

Yuan Yuxue didn't have any emotions to be afraid.

He just observed, then withdrew his gaze very calmly, and lay down on the fluffy mattress again.

The crying continued for most of the night.

When I woke up the next day, the players were not in a very good state of mind, and they looked slightly tired.

The fat man got up very early - he seems to be quite a self-disciplined person.

He introduced his background yesterday, his parents died early, he inherited the inheritance and went out early, saved some money, returned to the village to engage in breeding, and now belongs to the big family in the village. A few years ago, I married a wife, but my wife died of illness and never remarried, and she had no children.

Instead, he hired a village aunt to come from time to time to clean up and cook for him.

These days, the player's diet is almost also wrapped by the aunt. The fat man said with a grin that he had increased his aunt's salary for the past few days, and if the players wanted to eat anything, they could still order food for their aunt...... But it's just some daily side dishes, if you want to eat any delicacies from the mountains and seas, you don't have to think about it, they don't even have a small restaurant in the village, at most there is a wine shop selling home-brewed wine, and the food level is not high.

For example, today's breakfast is a whole pot of white porridge boiled densely, plus some pickles, sugar peanuts, cucumbers and other dishes.

Auntie had already eaten it before, but the fat man ate it with the players, and the hula and hula of a bowl of white porridge were loud.

Except for him, the players were a little absent-minded, thinking about last night's events. The fat man ate half full first, breathed a sigh of relief as if he was very satisfied, and began to chatter, "I was noisy last night, and most of the people who slept soundly like me didn't close their eyes for most of the night." ”

Ah Chuang somehow raised his eyes slightly, as if he was a little surprised, and asked, "You heard it too?" ”

The fat man had an inexplicable expression on his face, "Yes, it's strange that you can't hear it when you howl so loudly, right?" ”

Players have the bottom of their hearts, since the fat man also heard it, it means that they are not aliens who heard those crying voices, there is no need to hide it, this matter can be investigated openly - this is mostly a clue linked to the degree of exploration.

In fact, there is no need for players to investigate. The fat man just went around the door and came back, so he sighed to them, "It turned out to be an incident with the old Li family next door, and his daughter died at a young age, but it's a pity." ”

Chapter 230: Gold and Silver Village 9

The players paused slightly.

Xiao Qi asked him in a calm voice, "What is the reason?" Was it an accident, or was it sick? ”

"I'm sick." The fat man also knew this, "It seems that he has a strange disease, and he has been lying at home for a long time - mainly because of the conditions in our village, as you have seen, there is no special equipment, and the only doctor in the village is a barefoot doctor who lives at the end of the village, and he usually treats these minor illnesses and pains, fever and colds." ”

The fat man said with a sigh, "His family is poor, and he can't afford to go out to see a doctor, so he can only lie at home and be next to each other." Feed some brown sugar water every day, boil an egg to replenish your body, and know that you don't live long. I heard that the coffin was made with borrowed money. It's just that people left too hurriedly yesterday, but they died in half the night, and the family was sad. ”

The players nodded silently.

They didn't want to be too cold-blooded, but at this time, the first thing that came to their mind was the description of them in the mission brief - "enthusiasts with an unusually keen passion for niche funeral culture".

I'm afraid that the progress of their investigation is also related to this sudden funeral.

Of course, they wanted to go to see the old Li family who was doing the funeral.

"When we're done with breakfast, you can take us to have a look." The suit opened his mouth and said bluntly, but his face put away the smile that seemed a little prodigal, but his tone was still a little lazy, "I heard them cry yesterday and it was pitiful, after all, it was the white-haired man who sent the black-haired man, and we will also go to comfort the old man."

It was only from yesterday's brief contact that they could also find that this village is not very welcoming to outsiders. If you have to take a look at something like this, it's best to have someone from your village as a guide.

And the fat man who seems to be very enthusiastic about them, and can even be said to be a guide NPC, through him, of course, is the best choice.

The expression on the fat man's face was slightly hesitant.

"I don't mind, it's just the bosses, after all, it's also a white thing, dead people, don't you taboo this?"

"Of course, we are all young people, and we are all in full swing." The suit jokingly said, "But we are also foreigners, and some local rules may not be understood—if there are any private taboos, I would like you to mention a few more words." ”

"Just go and condole, how can there be any taboos and rules." The fat man smiled and didn't pick up.

Yuan Yuxue silently drank the last bit of dense white porridge in the bowl.

The others had almost finished breakfast, and they all got up one after another, preparing to follow the fat man to visit the Lao Li family next door.

When Ah Dao stood up, he easily lifted the knife that was in his hand. Suddenly, he was stunned.

But it only stopped for a moment, and then continued to follow out as if nothing happened.

Yuan Yuxue's gaze fell on him slightly.

Or rather, in Ah Dao's face.

But since Ah Dao didn't say anything, Yuan Yuxue only lowered her eyes slightly, followed the crowd silently, and came to the door of Lao Li's house not far away.

The cement house was open at the door, and the red couplets were torn off by someone, and the technique was rough, mottled and left some red paper.

There were a lot of people coming and going, and some people stood at the door to communicate.

It is said that Lao Li's family is thin, so there are not many relatives, and most of the people who come to visit are neighbors or friends who come to help, helping to manage the preparations for the funeral, and also making personal contacts.

After death, the past disappears, but the living cannot stop. Just doing these funerals is extremely tiring.

Suddenly there were such fresh faces, and the villagers who were standing outside and didn't go in all looked at them a little strangely, and looked at Yuan Yuxue and their group quite defensively.

Probably because of the large number of villagers gathered together, different from the successive explorations on the first day, this kind of examination is also very straightforward and unabashed, and the detailed exploration gaze makes people feel quite uneasy, as if there are many insects and ants climbing on their bodies, and they unconsciously want to move.

Since it was the fat man who brought them over, he also stepped forward quite sensibly, and first spoke to the players, "Bosses, I'll go and say hello to Lao Li and them, you wait for me for a while." ”

He couldn't just walk in with a few strangers, it would be too reckless.

The players nodded as well.

It wasn't until the fat man walked away, and the other villagers were still some distance away from them, that Ah Dao suddenly spoke in a low voice, and said in a low voice, "There is something wrong with my left eye." ”

This sentence came suddenly, the players were slightly stunned, and everyone's eyes turned and fell on Ah Dao's face-

Yuan Yuxue was also looking at him.

The broken hair in front of Ah Dao's eyes just covered his eyes, so he looked at the reactions of the others, reached out and slightly flicked the hair on the left, revealing half of a very handsome but gloomy face, as well as those dark eyes.

It's actually just a very subtle change.

Those black eyes were slightly pale at this moment, and their pupils were cloudy, as if they were covered with a layer of mist.

Although there are no similarities, players inevitably think of the fat man's left eye.

This is the second player to have a problem.

Xiao Qi, who was closest to him, was slightly stunned for a moment and asked him, "How serious is it?" Is it completely invisible? ”

"It can be sensitized." Ah Dao said briefly, "There is a problem with vision, and the vision is very blurry, so I basically can't use it." ”

Although it is only one eye, the degree of hindrance to daily actions is much more serious than Yuan Yuxue's aphasia.

The players pursed their lips slightly, which was kind of comforting, "If you have trouble, you can tell me." ”

Dao nodded nonchalantly, as if he was just sharing a copy of the information, and put his hair back down.

It's just that what happened to Ah Dao also verifies the worst direction that players think.

Assimilated the flaws of the player, which is gradually happening.

According to the law of time, it may be one a day.

As for the location of the defect, it is not the same, one is speech impairment, and the other is visual impairment.

The players selected are also different - it's hard to find any patterns in them, or there are no patterns in the first place.

Early in the morning, the players' mood was a little heavier, and at this time, the fat man also came out of the house and beckoned to them.

The players entered the house in a good way.

There are a lot of people in the house, and the area of the main house is not large. It was crowded and full, and it was no wonder that most people were willing to go out the door.

The people of Lao Li's family are easy to identify—there are only three people left, Lao Li, his wife, and their son.

At this time, the three people were wrapped with white cloths on their heads, and a white flower tied with paper was hung on their chests, their faces were very sad, and they couldn't even stand up crying.

When the players came in, everyone else in the main house looked over, but the three members of Lao Li's family, perhaps because they were too sad, didn't even look at this group of outsiders.

Only Lao Li glanced at them slightly, revealing a little redness in his eyes, so he quickly turned around again and gently patted his sad wife's back, perhaps saying something comforting.

Just this glance is enough for Yuan Yuxue to see Lao Li's face clearly.

Yuan Yuxue stood there very quietly.

The man's face was exactly the same as the one he had scanned last night.

It's just that at this time, they are no longer expressionless, numb, and indifferent to the extreme, but a sad look, and even the tears rolling in their eyes have not dried up.

Yuan Yuxue quietly looked at the three people wearing white cloths, her eyes dark.

When the suit stepped forward, he caught a glimpse of Lao Li's outstretched fingers, and the index and middle fingers were slightly yellowed, and he could see that he was a smoker. So he took a cigarette from the cigarette case in the pocket of his suit jacket and handed it over, and the look on his face seemed quite sincere for a while.

"Condolences and change." He said.

Although I can't see the brand, but I can also see from the craftsmanship of the cigarette that the cigarette is the best cigarette, Lao Li was quite flattered to look at the suit, just refused twice, the suit just easily sent it forward, and the cigarette somehow caught Lao Li's fingertips.

"You're welcome." The suit said, "I also touched the scene, thinking of my parents, who were not very sensible when they were young, but behind them were the sons who wanted to raise them and did not wait for them." Don't be too sad, you two old people, I think your daughter can see you in the spirit of heaven......"
