"Brother Lou, what are we looking for?" Lin Manman followed behind Lou Fan. Lou Fan had long legs, taking two steps when Lin Manman took three steps. He walked so fast that Lin Manman had to trot for a while to keep up.
Lou Fan looked around and replied, "Pay attention to people who look like a mother and daughter."
Lin Manman nodded, "Okay, Brother Lou, walk slowly."
Lou Fan slowed down, the two were no longer where they were, and they couldn't catch up, so they had to look carefully. Lin Manman is very well-behaved, with long black hair tied into a neat ponytail for easy movement.
Looking at her, Lou Fan no longer panicked yesterday, and quickly adapted to this world. She couldn't help but sigh that the environment makes people grow, but it still varies from person to person.
"Are you afraid? Manman." Lou Fan asked.
Lin Manman, who was searching carefully, was silent for a while, and pursed her lips, "I was very scared yesterday and even this morning, but it's much better now. Brother Lou, can you tell me some experience?"
"Experience! Let me think about it." Lou Fan was also silent. He seemed to have no experience. After thinking for a long time, he said, "The first is to improve your own strength, which is the most important. Second, there are many missions in the world. Useful things, such as mission items or key items, you should pay attention to, if you can bring back some glass, they can allow you to exchange for a lot of good things."
Lou Fan and Qin Tan have already discussed that the items exchanged for Liuli are high-quality goods, such as a piece of compressed biscuit, in the normal world, it can last half a day, but Liuli can last a day, or even longer. In the same way, it can be seen that whether it is medicine or weapons, Liuli products are definitely high-quality products.
The two talked while walking, Lin Manman wrote down one by one, these will be the foundation of her survival in the future, she must write down.
There were very few villagers around, and most of them ran to the square, and they didn't see a few people after walking for a long time. The layout of the houses in the village was also very strange. Lou Fan and Lin Manman walked around, feeling similar, as if they were in a maze.
I don't know what's going on, probably because he has done enough mental construction, even though Lou Fan knows the weirdness here, he doesn't have the slightest feeling of fear.
"What's your spirit weapon?" Lou Fan asked Lin Manman with his head turned.
Lin Manman was taken aback, but didn't realize what the spiritual weapon was. Five seconds later, she took out a rope from her pocket and said with a wry smile, "It's a skipping rope."
jump rope? Another strange artifact.
"I don't even know how to use it." Lin Manman said: "I liked skipping rope when I was a child, and I won a prize. I didn't expect the weapon here to be a skipping rope. Brother Lou, your bow and arrow are more handsome."
Lin Manman felt helpless clutching the skipping rope, she shook the rope away with one hand, and took it back again. The movements are very skilled.
Lou Fan praised, "You are not jumping rope at all, it can be used as a whip."
Lin Manman grabbed the skipping rope, in disbelief, "Whip? Brother Lou, are you kidding me? This is more than a thousand miles away."
Lou Fan laughed, "Manman, you must know that the only function of a spiritual weapon for us is as a weapon. Whether it is attack or defense, so no matter what form it is, it will end in the same way in the end. You don't need to think about its name. What is it called, as long as it can be your help to keep you alive, that is the ultimate goal."
Lin Manman looked at the rope in his hand, his eyes slowly became firm, yes, as long as he can survive and return to his parents, no matter what he has, as long as he can use it as a weapon to protect himself, isn't that all right
Seeing Lin Manman who was laughing, Lou Fan couldn't help but pissed off, "But you have to improve your arm strength, does King Kong Barbie know? It's best to practice that."
Looking at Lin Manman's wrinkled face, Lou Fan laughed unkindly. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw two figures flashing past, Lou Fan immediately put away his smile, "There, follow quickly."
But when they turned the corner, the two disappeared again. Lou Fan turned around, but he didn't even see a shadow.
Lin Manman also looked around, turned around and said to Lou Fan, "Brother Lou, will we trigger the death condition? It may be a key NPC, or it may be the death condition."
Lou Fan intuitively felt that it was the key NPC. As for whether it was the main line or the branch line, it was hard to say, and he never thought about the death conditions.
"Chances are half and half. No one knows whether it is chance or death. We are unreasonable in this world. Every mission is desperate." Lou Fan said firmly: "I only know that once the key NPC , the equipment may come out, and key clues may be obtained.”
"Let's go, keep looking."
Lin Manman couldn't refute, she looked up at the side of the building. This man looks handsome and gentle, he is very stern in his actions, he is not procrastinating at all, he has nothing to do with his looks, that's what it means to be a man by his appearance.
The layout of the houses in the village is really strange, and there is no pattern at all. The two could only scurry around, and they didn't even meet any of the other two groups.
Small voices came to Lou Fan's ears, he searched for the sound and walked over, hearing the sound very close, he walked for almost ten minutes before finding it.
In a house that looked crumbling, a woman kept moving her hands while talking in a low voice. Sitting next to her was a young girl in bloom, with a pretty face, but her face was full of sadness, her brows were tightly wrinkled, and her face was pale.
That's it.
Lin Manman quietly looked at Lou Fan, who gave her a reassuring look. Lin Manman took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
It's okay, Brother Lou is here!
The room was dark, and the appearance of Lou Fan blocked more than half of the light from the door, making the room even darker. The two inside looked up and were stunned when they saw the strange man appearing at the door. Immediately, without saying a word, or even asking aloud, he lowered his head again and went about his own business. Their expressions can be called numb and depressed, even if the light is blocked, it does not affect the speed of their hands at all, and Lou Fan even feels that they can still move their fingers like flying even in the dark.
They are weaving a fishing net.
"Do you have any difficulties?" Lou Fan asked tentatively.
The two of them didn't even lift their eyes and ignored him at all.
Lou Fan added: "I heard that there are sacrificial activities in the village. We came from outside. I don't know what is the sacrificial activity?"
As soon as he spoke, the mother and daughter paused, and their faces turned as white as paper. The girl's lips trembled, and she curled up into a ball. The woman yelled and pushed the two of them away, "You are all bad people, get out of here! Get out!"
Lou Fan was kicked out in a disheveled manner, the bamboo door was closed with a bang, and even shook twice, as if it was about to fall apart in the next moment. Lou Fan rubbed his nose and felt that this NPC was a little different from the old man in Luoyang Ancient Village, not the same.
"Let's go back to the square first." Lou Fan said helplessly.
Lin Manman lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking. After walking for a while, she said, "Brother Lou, I don't think we should ask directly. We should use a roundabout way. Next time it's me, I'll go get close."
Lou Fan nodded, he is indeed not very good at dealing with little girls, the juniors in the archery gym used to surround him, and they could keep talking without him taking the initiative to provoke the topic, but now it is a bit embarrassing for him to get close .
***
Wen Lang and Zhang Xue chose the other side, just like Lou Fan, there was no one there, they had no goal, so they walked quickly.
"Let's go shopping first." Wen Lang said to Zhang Xue.
Zhang Xue pursed her lower lip and suggested, "Let's go to the lake first."
Wen Lang shrugged and agreed. The two walked quickly to the lake. It is still a winding terrain. Unlike any other villages, there will be a large gap between the houses, but here they are close together without even a gap.
Don't you feel suffocated living in this way
After walking for a while, the two found that many houses were open, some of which were neatly arranged, and some were completely empty and uninhabited. So why are there so many houses
Soon the three of them arrived at the lake. There are also many people by the lake. They gather around a boat and decorate the boat. The boat was also very festively decorated. On a hill not far away, there is a building with smoky smoke, which looks like a temple.
Wen Lang: "That should be Laoye Temple."
Zhang Xue looked at the newly decorated boat indifferently, and said, "They want to use the boat to sacrifice?"
Almost immediately, what the sacrificial process was like emerged in the minds of the two of them. There are many such stories in reality. But what is the content of the sacrifice
A short and thin boy passed by them and was grabbed by Wen Lang. He smiled and took out a handful of colorful candies from his trouser pocket and handed them over, "Hello, we are here for tourism, I didn't expect to catch up with some of your activities, can you tell me?"
The young man looked at the candy in his hand hesitantly, and turned it around his face a few times. After hesitating for a long time, after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he grabbed the candy in Wen Lang's hand and held it in his hand.
"The sacrificial activities in our village every year are very grand. It is to sacrifice to the undead under the sea. I hope they will not harass us. There is also the giant turtle in the old man's temple, so that it can protect the safety of our boats." The boy stared at his hands. The candy in it seems to be thinking about who to give it to.
"Do you know Shenzhou?" Wen Lang asked again: "Then how do you sacrifice?"
"What is Shenzhou?" The young man looked at him with wide eyes, his eyes full of doubts, and replied, "Just drive the boat to the middle of the lake after dark, and wait until the fog clears at midnight."
Zhang Xue stared at him indifferently and asked, "What is on the boat? What is used for sacrifice?"
The boy took it for granted: "People, livestock, and all kinds of things made by the villagers themselves."
Wen Lang wanted to continue asking, the young man was a little impatient, and pointed over there, "Why do you have so many questions, don't you know when you come to our sacrifice? I'm leaving, to help decorate the boat, otherwise General Juyuan will be angry if he doesn’t like it.”
Sacrifice, people and livestock, in the middle of the lake, heavy fog... the combination of these words is not a good thing, but it is a pity that the whereabouts of Shenzhou were not asked.
Zhang Xue glanced at the Laoye Temple in the distance, turned around and walked back first, Wen Lang also glanced at the crowd around the boat, and followed back. Xiao Yu remained silent and followed the two of them closely.
