"Okay." With a smile on their faces, the little guys responded to Lu Shuo's request.

As for the others, the sudden arrival of the old housekeeper and the little maid disrupted everyone's self-introduction stage, there are newcomers and old people in this pile, and the "props" brought by the newcomers are almost useless, and the old people are very wary of NPCs, and will not let them touch the things they brought, not to mention that everyone has not yet chosen which room to live in.

"We'll do it ourselves." Wei Dao waved his hand and refused the little guy's help.

His eyes darkened slightly when he heard the little guy call Lu Shuo "Mr. Lu", obviously these NPCs knew who their names were.

Then Wei Dao moved his gaze to the two young men in long coats in front of the main house, wanting to see what their attitude was towards the little guy - at first he thought that these two were guide NPCs, but the arrival of the old butler apparently broke his suspicions.

And the ferryman NPC will only be one person, so are these two also game participants?

As Wei Dao pondered, he saw the black-haired young man sitting in the carved armchair put down the porcelain cup in his hand, stretched his slender white neck and approached the little guy, leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear, because the young man's voice was too low for Wei Dao to hear what he said to the little guy clearly.

I can only see a faint and gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, and his lips open and close gently.

However, Wei Dao also noticed that his lips were unusually light, only a faint layer of flesh powder, and the snow-blue gown was also slightly empty on him, as if the young man was not in good health, and he had been sick for a long time, so he was so weak, and the embroidered pear blossom branch of the silver thread and gold stamens on his shoulder could almost overwhelm him.

Wei Dao took a few steps in the direction of the main house, and as he got closer, he heard the young man get up from the carved armchair and thank him warmly: "...... I'm tired of you. ”

- Tiredness.

Even the words of thanks are in a crepe.

Modern people generally only say "thank you" when they say thank you.

And after the young man got up, the little guy helped him move a set of sandalwood tables and chairs into the main house.

Seeing these scenes, Wei Dao felt more and more that this young man, even if he was not a ferryman NPC, must be an important NPC in this game, and might even be the boss of this time.

Perhaps sensing his gaze, the black-haired young man raised his eyes, his gaze fixed on his face, opposite the gaze of the guard.

Wei Dao's body was slightly tense, but the smile on the corner of the young man's lips was deeper and a little gentler, and he opened his lips and said, "Don't you want to introduce yourself?" ”

He stood on the steps in front of the main house, standing with his hands in his hands, his eyes slightly drooping, looking down at everyone, obviously he was in a lofty posture and appearance, but his voice was like a murmuring spring rain, clear and gentle, I don't know if he was born like this, or because of his illness he was unable to speak loudly.

The young man looked around at everyone, his expression was gentle, and he introduced himself with a smile on the corner of his lips: "Xie Yinxue is under it." ”

Chapter 2

Xie Yinxue was dying.

But as long as Xie Yinxue doesn't want to die, no one in this world can take his life.

After all, Xie Yinxue knows many ways to continue her life.

However, life and death are fateful, how can they be easily changed by manpower? Any kind of way to sustain life comes at a great cost.

Xie Yinxue's previous method of prolonging his life was to help people solve some supernatural events, and after the evil was successfully expelled, the employer would share his one-month life expectancy with Xie Yinxue as a reward.

Don't reduce the number of lifespans, just share ...... Share the life of the employer, and also share half of Xie Yinxue's illness.

Xie Yinxue thinks the deal is a good deal.

After all, the employer does not ask him to do business, because he is worried about his life, and he is happy to find him to continue his life, he can live, and the employer does not have to die, but he will be sick for a month.

But he has only received three transactions after opening for half a year.

First of all, Xie Yinxue was not a celestial master to exorcise evil spirits, and even the tricks of exorcism were temporarily learned by him, and he was not famous in the celestial master circle at all, so no one would ask Xie Yinxue to help exorcise evil spirits; Secondly, among the three businesses he finally received, one of them was blown - because the guest thought that Xie Yinxue was beautiful, gentle and considerate, and he didn't have the appearance of a master of the Exorcism Heavenly Master at all, but it looked like he was cheating money and making ducks.

The only business that was negotiated was done with the guarantee of an acquaintance, and because Xie Yinxue solved it effortlessly, the guest still felt that he had been cheated.

The conscience of heaven and earth, that matter is solved by someone else, and it is absolutely necessary to remove the layer of blood, before the twentieth birthday passes, Xie Yinxue rarely feels that it is a kind of trouble to have great ability.

So Xie Yinxue, who learned a lesson, decided to face the "guests" after stepping into the game, and to put on a little mystery in order to ensure that the business went smoothly later—after all, there are lessons to be learned from the past.

Now looking down at the people in front of him who were stunned by the posture of himself and Liu Buhua, Xie Yinxue was very satisfied, he felt that he should have mastered the mysterious temperament of a master in the world this time.

Although Xie Yinxue has always felt that he is a master of the world, he is not arrogant and cold, but amiable, but if he is too approachable, he will not be able to make everyone believe in his ability.

Xie Yinxue eased her eyebrows, the curvature of the corners of her lips did not change, but her smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and she introduced herself softly: "Xie Yinxue is under it." ”

The crowd looked at him silently.

After the scene was dominated by silence for a moment, Wei Dao said cautiously: "My name is Wei Dao." ”

Wei Dao's opening was like a signal, and the others followed Wei Dao's words and introduced themselves one after another, and Liu Buhua, who was standing next to Xie Yinxue, was the last to speak.

Xie Yinxue wrote down the names and appearances of everyone present after listening to it, he looked around at everyone, lowered his eyelashes and took a sip of tea.

Wei Dao couldn't guess Xie Yinxue's identity, he saw that Xie Yinxue was silent, and he didn't seem to have the intention of being the leader, so he stood up and took the initiative: "Time is pressing, since everyone knows each other a little, then let's assign the room next, and after everyone puts their things away, let's hurry up and set off to find ingredients." ”

There are a total of six rooms in this three-hall courtyard, and it is said that it is an allocated room, but in fact, they are all old people who are familiar with each other. For example, Wei Dao and his teammates Ji Tao and Qiu Yuxing will definitely not be separated, they live in the East Wing; The woman in red named Xia Duoyi also teamed up with another silent man, Dai Yue, and lived in the left wing; None of them were the first to participate in the game.

The ignorant newcomers squeezed each other with a few pleasing partners, Lu Shuo, who came with a toilet, and Xiao Siyu, who drove a luxury car, lived in the east ear room together, and the middle-aged woman called Gao Qiao squeezed together with the four girls who seemed to be in the same dormitory and lived in the back cover room.

As for Xie Yinxue's living in the main house, everyone knew about it from the time he saw the little maid help him move the tables, chairs and teapots into the main house, and no one objected. What surprised everyone was that Liu Buhua, who was standing behind Xie Yinxue and wearing a dark blue coat, did not live in the same room with him - Liu Buhua lived alone in the West Ear Room.

If the arrangement of the room was unexpected, then Xie Yinxue and everyone began to look for ingredients in the courtyard together, which surprised everyone.

Because this means that Xie Yinxue, like them, is a participant in the game.

Lu Shuo may be a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, or he may have thought of the smile when Xie Yinxue looked at him, he mustered up the courage to come to Xie Yinxue's side, and asked him with a stammer: "...... Mr. Xie, are you also a participant in the game? ”

Xie Yinxue replied to him softly, "Yes." ”

Lu Shuo had already guessed this answer, and even if Xie Yinxue was not a participant in the game, he might not say it so directly, Lu Shuo was curious: "Then why can you live in the main house?" ”

The smile on the corner of the young man's lips deepened when he heard this, the willow eyes were slightly bent, and the light in his eyes was slightly rippling, making people more and more unable to see the look under his eyes, but he was really good-looking, the more the young man smiled, the more embarrassed Lu Shuo became to look directly into his eyes, and lowered his head a little crampedly, his eyes fell on the pear blossom embroidery on Xie Yinxue's shoulder.

He heard the young man's voice like a spring rain, and said to him gently: "There is no one to live in the main house, so why can't I live in it?" ”

"But shouldn't the main house be the owner's residence?" Lu Shuo raised his eyes, glanced at Xie Yinxue, and quickly said the question in his heart.

Xie Yinxue laughed lightly again, opened her lips and said, "The housekeeper just said, this is the Qinfu Annex, and the Annexation refers to the side courtyard other than the main house, not the main house." So even if that old man Qin comes back, he won't live here, it's all for us guests. ”

The main house, on the other hand, is reserved for the most distinguished guests.

Xie Yinxue felt that among the people present, no one was more noble than him, was there anything wrong with him living in a main house? I don't know if the location of this courtyard is remote, if the location is too remote in the entire Qin Mansion, it will be an insult to him Xie Yinxue.

Lu Shuo didn't know what Xie Yinxue's true inner thoughts were when he chose to live in the main house, he only felt that the young man was extremely patient, and he was so gentle when he explained to him how he had speculated that the main house was habitable.

However, Lu Shuo is not a fool, although he is participating in the game for the first time, it seems to be a big grin, but in fact, he is more careful than many newcomers, he can sense that Xie Yinxue's gentle attitude is a little cold.

It's like a tuft of snow that looks flawless and clean, but it actually freezes people's teeth - don't get too close.

In particular, Xie Yinxue did not act like a newcomer who participated in the game for the first time, nor did he look like an old man who had already passed the game a few times, so Lu Shuo clicked to the end, did not bother Xie Yinxue again, and turned his head to find Xiao Siyu, who had just become a partner with him.

Seeing that their conversation was over, Liu Buhua, who was a few steps behind Xie Yinxue, hurriedly followed, and called him after approaching Xie Yinxue: "Godfather." ”

Xie Yinxue withdrew her gaze staring at Lu Shuo's back, and her gaze seemed to inadvertently glance at Wei Dao and his party, who had been eavesdropping on them for a long time, and said to Liu Buhua in a slow voice: "Lu Shuo, this kid is quite smart, maybe he can clear this game without relying on me." ”

"Then isn't your business ......" Liu Buhua was a little anxious for Xie Yinxue, you must know that if Xie Yinxue has no one to share his life, it will be difficult for him to live for a few days.

"What's the hurry? It's just one, and there are so many of them. Xie Yinxue was very indifferent, "Besides, didn't you also listen to Wei Dao?" As long as I clear this game, I can live an extra month no matter how bad it is, so for now, let's take a look at the 'ingredients' that the housekeeper said, and where to find them." ”

The person who is in a hurry is really not Xie Yinxue.

The guard knife is in a hurry.

They actually heard the conversations between Xie Yinxue and Lu Shuo just now, but what Liu Buhua and Xie Yinxue said, they couldn't hear a word clearly, and this was not the most anxious - they couldn't find any ingredients in the inner courtyard at all, and the so-called chef was nowhere to be found, the latter was okay to say, they might appear at the unitary time, but the former was what scared everyone.

Because in the rules of the game told by the housekeeper, one of them is: [All guests must hand over the ingredients to the chef before the daily unitary hour]

There was a time omission next to the fish tank in the inner courtyard, and everyone was sent here just after noon, that is, twelve o'clock at noon, and they missed lunch directly. The time of the unitary is between 5 and 7 o'clock in the evening, which is the time of dinner every day, so it can be speculated that perhaps at this time of the day, when the little servants come to deliver the food, the chef who has disappeared will also come and take away the ingredients they find.

"There's no ingredients here." Gao Qiao, a middle-aged woman, looked at the inner courtyard and the small courtyard on the other side of the back room, and everyone also turned over their houses, but they didn't find common ingredients that could be eaten.

Among all the people present, the person who is most familiar with cooking should be Gao Qiao, because she was still holding a spatula when she first entered the game, and even she couldn't find the ingredients available, let alone anyone else.

"You can eat four-leaf clover, right?" Chen Yun opened her mouth to ask everyone, she was the eldest of the four female students in the whole dormitory, and at this moment she was squatting on the edge of the flower bed, picking up the four-leaf clover next to the flower and said, "I ate it when I was a child, this grass tastes a little sour, and some people in the countryside eat it cold." ”

Her words seemed to give Xiao Siyu inspiration, and he pointed to the pansy in the flower bed and said: "Then this flower should be okay, I used to eat Western food in the hotel, and the fat foie gras that the chef brought me was decorated with pansy for dishes." ”

After listening to Xiao Siyu's words, Lu Shuo looked at the quaint Chinese buildings around him, and couldn't help but say, "But will anyone here cook Western food for you?" ”

Xiao Siyu: "......"

Western food, like the toilet, looks out of place in this three-entry courtyard.

Ji Tao added: "And you also said that pansies are dish decorations, and four-leaf clovers can barely be eaten cold, which is considered an ingredient, but can your dish decoration be counted as an ingredient?" ”

"Theoretically, as long as the ingredients used in the process of making food are ingredients." Qiu Yu said, "In other words, everything that can be eaten in the mouth is enough, as long as this flower can be eaten, then it will work." ”

While they were discussing, Chen Yun had already picked a lot of four-leaf clovers and carefully put them in his pocket.

There were a lot of pansies in that pot, and a small number of four-leaf clovers as "weeds", which raised other questions – such as is it okay to have such a small amount of ingredients? Chen Yun found a four-leaf clover as an ingredient, can the ingredients found by others be duplicated with her?

As for Xiao Siyu, he hesitated again and again but didn't pick the flowers, he thought that there was still plenty of time now, if he couldn't find anything else when it was close to the unitary, then it would not be too late to come and pick the flowers again.

What's more, he's more careful.,Usually he's seen a lot of survival games.,In case he picks flowers and touches a taboo in the game and dies.,It's really unreasonable.。

The task of finding ingredients has thus reached an impasse.

Everyone stood in the middle of the inner courtyard for a moment, when a gentle voice broke the silence: "We haven't looked at the front yard yet, the kitchen is over there, you can go to the kitchen to have a look." ”

When everyone looked for prestige, they saw a young man in a snow-green coat standing at the door of the hanging flowers, his eyes skimming over the verandah and patrolling the people, because they were far away, and everyone could not see his face hidden in the shadow of the eaves of the porch.

It wasn't until he took a step forward, bathing his thin body in the dim light of the sky, that everyone could see his delicate but too pale face.

The young man coughed lightly twice at everyone's gaze, frowned slightly, but quickly stretched out, looked at everyone and smiled: "Maybe there is a vegetable garden next to the kitchen." ”

The author has something to say:

Xie Lao: I got it.

Chapter 3

Indeed, no one on the front yard has seen it yet.

But after listening to Xie Yinxue's words, everyone stopped in place, and they didn't mean to leave to go to the front yard to have a look.

There is no other reason, mainly Xie Yinxue's bloodless lips and pale cheeks are sickly and weak, very much like the kind of beauties and ghosts in ghost movies beckoning to you, trying to drag people into the abyss of death.

Chu Li, one of the girls in the four-person dormitory, spoke cautiously: "But just now the housekeeper told us that if there is a big matter, we will go to the inverted room in the front yard to find him." ”

Xie Yinxue spoke softly, and asked her rhetorically: "Isn't it a big deal if you can't find the ingredients?" ”

In this kind of survival game, the NPC has made the rules clear, but anyone with a normal brain will not want to challenge what the result of not following the rules will be, so since the housekeeper said that he would hand over the ingredients at the unitary time, then everyone must prepare the ingredients before the unitary time.
