Very good, three generations of the Li family are all together.
The mother and son on the bed seemed to be in a coma, and their sleeping posture was very stiff, reminiscent of the corpses. Looking at the deathly look on their faces, no one would doubt that they were corpses.
Several people were looking at the two people on the bed when suddenly the old lady opened her eyes abruptly.
The eyes were cloudy, with more white than black, and the pupils were only one-third of a normal person's. The old face had an ominous look of death.
She slowly turned her head, staring at the person beside the bed, and a hoarse sound came from her throat, like the growl of an animal.
The oil lamp on the table suddenly flickered, and the dim, swaying light flickered on the old lady's face, adding to the eerie and spooky atmosphere.
This is scary at first glance.
The fat man was so scared that he grabbed his brother's hand tightly at the first moment, and the thin man felt that his thin arm was almost broken by him.
Wu Yang had been to many gaming worlds and seen many ghosts, but he was not scared. Instead, he had a vigilant look on his face, fearing that the old lady would suddenly attack him.
Gu Jiu stared at the old lady and suddenly said, "Old lady, we are your tenants and have paid the rent."
Old lady: “…”
Even the fat man and the others felt speechless and choked.
The hoarse sound in the old lady's throat paused, and then became more rapid. She stiffly stretched out a skinny hand towards them. The nails on that hand were black, like the claws of some animal, which looked abnormal at first glance.
The person in front of the bed was startled and stepped back quickly.
Fortunately, the old lady's movements were stiff and slow, like a dying person, and she did not seem to have much killing power.
The fat man was just breathing a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Jiu taking the rolling pin from his hand. She used the rolling pin to roughly push the old lady who had gotten up back to bed, and said softly, "Old lady, we just came to see you out of courtesy. You don't have to be too enthusiastic, and you don't have to get up specially to entertain us. You can continue to lie down. You're really welcome."
The old lady who just got up: “…” Who the hell is being polite to you
Wuyang and others: "..."
The old lady made an ambiguous sound and looked at Gu Jiu with resentment through her cloudy eyes.
Wu Yang and the fat man did not ignore the old lady's eyes. They were startled and became more defensive.
Gu Jiu used a rolling pin to suppress the old lady's struggle and looked at Old Li in the bed. Old Li had been sleeping and did not open his eyes because of the noise.
The fat man mustered up the courage to look over and thought that it was normal for Old Li to be as quiet as a dead person. The old lady was clearly pretending to be dead.
After looking around, Gu Jiu finally took back the rolling pin, threw it to the fat man, and left the bedside.
The child who led them in stood not far from the bed, watching them quietly, and did not react when he saw them were about to leave.
Gu Jiu waved at him and said, "Little friend, we are leaving now. I hope we can continue to live in peace when we meet next time."
Everyone: “…” This statement has too much connotation.
The child did not move, but watched them silently, with no intention of stopping them. The oil lamp in the room was flickering, and shadows were looming. The small room looked like a haunted house, eerie and scary.
Wu Yang and the others followed Gu Jiu cautiously and walked towards the door.
The door was clearly right in front of them, but after walking for a while they found they couldn't get out.
With the light of the oil lamp, they could see that the layouts of the rooms upstairs and downstairs in Old Li's house were similar. After living here for a few days, they knew the size of the rooms, so it didn't make sense that they couldn't get out for so long.
Where the light of the oil lamp in front could not reach, there was endless darkness, and it was this darkness that prevented them from getting out.
Wu Yang, the fat man and the thin man knew that this was a kind of ghost wall, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
They turned their heads and could still see the bunk bed behind them and the child standing beside it, so close that it showed that they had been standing still.
Gu Jiu stopped and walked slowly back to the bed.
The old lady on the bed made a hoarse sound, and her resentful eyes were full of gloating.
Seeing the old lady's behavior, the fat man immediately understood that it was the old lady's doing.
Gu Jiu looked at her for a while, and suddenly said, "Fatty brother, rolling pin."
The fat man handed her the rolling pin without saying a word and looked at her expectantly, completely forgetting that she was just a newcomer who had no props.
The next moment, the rolling pin went straight towards the old lady who had gotten up. Then Gu Jiu said in a very gentle voice, "Old lady, we came to see you out of kindness. How can you treat guests like this? We have paid the rent and don't owe you anything. If you do this again, I will have to break your arms and legs and make you lie in bed forever."
As she spoke, she really started to hit him, and her brutal behavior was totally inconsistent with her gentle voice.
I didn't know where the rolling pin hit the old lady, but a sharp scream rang out.
The old lady lay back on the bed and looked at her in shock and fear.
The fat man and the others were stunned.
What did she do to scare the old lady like this
Gu Jiu smiled at the old lady, and under the old lady's resentful and fearful gaze, he threw the rolling pin back to the fat man and turned and left.
This time, they finally walked out of the room smoothly.
Seeing the bright sunshine outside, the fat brothers and Wu Yang both felt a sense of unreality.
Just now they entered a ghost's den, and the ghosts deliberately forced them to stay. Then after Gu Jiu threatened them with a rolling pin, they were allowed to leave smoothly.
Is a rolling pin really that useful
The fat man stared at the rolling pin in his hand with a puzzled look. He turned it over and over, but couldn't see anything special about it. It was definitely not a prop.
Lin Dandan and Wang Peiping, who were guarding outside the door, finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them come out safely.
"Brother Wu, are you all right?" Lin Dandan said hurriedly, "After you went in just now, we couldn't sense your presence very quickly, as if we were isolated by something."
Wu Yang thought to himself, isn't it because the space was isolated by ghosts
This is a special ability that many ghosts possess, called the absolute territory of ghosts, also commonly known as the ghost wall. In the absolute territory of ghosts, it is difficult to escape without some special means.
Wu Yang said: "We are fine, but the three grandparents and grandchildren of the old Li family are probably no longer human."
Wang Peiyang said in shock: "So we live in a house with ghosts every day?" He was almost scared crazy. He was most afraid of ghosts, and there happened to be a lot of ghosts in the game world.
Lin Dandan was better, but her heart was also beating fast due to the fright.
She swallowed and asked, "Will they attack us?"
Wu Yang shook his head, not sure. After all, the rules of the game arranged for them to live in Lao Li's house. Lao Li's house should be an important place. He just didn't know what the relationship was between Lao Li's house and the curse in the village.
Wu Yang couldn't figure it out for the moment and couldn't help but look at Gu Jiu.
He found that although Gu Jiu was a newcomer, some of the things she did were always unusual, and she was not afraid of ghosts. This alone was something that many newcomers could not compare to.
Just as I looked over, I saw Gu Jiu taking out the rag doll from his pocket.
At this time, the doll's expression changed from smiling to an unhappy bitter face.
"This is..." Wu Yang asked doubtfully, always wondering what the meaning was when the doll changed its face.
Gu Jiu said: "When I entered the room just now, I took a special look at the doll's expression and found that it looked unhappy."
Everyone looked at her in confusion, not understanding what she meant.
Gu Jiu stuffed the doll back into his pocket and smiled at them tenderly, making the fat man shiver.
That's how she smiled just now, and then she pushed the old lady back onto the bed and threatened her violently. This young lady only looks delicate and gentle, but actually she has a bad temper.
"If I'm not mistaken, the change in the doll's expression is some kind of hint, either related to ghosts or curses. Further verification is needed."
Wu Yang thought for a moment and asked, "Where else do you think needs to be verified?"
"The ancestral hall."
There was a moment of silence.
The ancestral hall was the only place in the village that they were forbidden to enter. The gate of the ancestral hall was closed and guarded by villagers, so they had no way to get in. Unless they sneaked in at night, but at night, due to the words of the village chief, they did not dare to take the risk.
So until now, they have not entered the ancestral hall to check.
Wu Yang quickly made up his mind, "I'll go see if I can avoid the villagers and sneak into the ancestral hall."
If you want to pass the level, you have to go through any dangerous place. After experiencing four games, Wu Yang understands how dangerous the game world is better than anyone else present. Sometimes, you even have to take great risks in order to get the information to pass the level. Many players died in such risks.
But it is unavoidable.
Wu Yang looked at the others, "Who of you will go with me?"
Lin Dandan and Wang Peiping immediately shrank their necks. They didn't have the courage or the ability to break into the ancestral hall.
"I'll go with you." The thin man stepped forward.
Gu Jiu and the others were a little surprised to see the thin man who took the initiative to stand up. The thin man had a low presence. He always acted with the fat man. He was not as lively and cheerful as the fat man. In addition, his stick-like figure made it difficult to see his figure when he stood behind the fat man, making it easy for people to ignore his existence.
To their surprise, Gu Jiu also said, "Brother Wu, I'll go too."
Lin Dandan and Wang Peiping looked at her with straightforward expressions. What was she going to do? To hinder the team
However, Wu Yang and the others who had seen her actions just now were not surprised. Today, Gu Jiu gave them many surprises. The fact that she took the initiative to enter the room where the three members of the old Li family lived made them realize that this newcomer was not only capable of action and courage, but also seemed to be smart. This kind of person was the easiest to pass.
Wu Yang did not refuse and agreed to let her join.
Seeing that she was about to join, Fatty and Lu Ji decided to go over and take a look. Lin Dandan and Wang Peiping looked at each other and followed with puzzled looks.
It’s just that Gu Jiu was injured last night and walked slowly, so everyone had to keep up with her pace.
Lin Dandan couldn't help rolling her eyes.
This is too delicate.
On the way, the fat man said with envy: "Girl, you were so brave just now, you were not afraid at all." Not only was she not afraid, but she also made the ghosts and monsters afraid of her, which completely destroyed their impression of a newcomer.
If the game system information hadn't confirmed that she was a newcomer, they would have suspected that she was an advanced player who disguised herself as a newbie and sneaked in.
Gu Jiu adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "Actually, I am also quite scared, so when facing ghosts, I choose to close my eyes. If I don't look, I won't be afraid."
Fatty: “…”
"Why did you close your eyes?" the fat man asked curiously.
"Just close them like that? Can't you even close your eyes?" Gu Jiu closed her eyes towards him specifically, then opened them again after a few seconds.
The fat man was choked again, thinking she was teasing him
Even Skinny and Wu Yang couldn't help laughing.
