The four of them walked to the entrance of the village, and an old woman sat on a bamboo stool in front of the house, holding the soles of her shoes, with a kind smile on her face.
He Yong stepped forward and smiled, "Grandma, do you know where Yu Erniang lives?"
The old woman continued her needlework as if she hadn't heard.
"Old woman." Still did not answer, He Yong suddenly lost his temper, "Why do you ignore people?"
He Yong was about to touch her, but Qin Tan grabbed her.
"What are you doing..."
"Don't touch it, something is wrong."
Lou Fan looked around, and suddenly found that they met so many people along the way and didn't see anyone talking. He didn't expect that they were talking at the time, but now that he thought about it, there were not even insects and birds singing here.
"There is no sound." Lou Fan said, "No one spoke, and there was no other sound."
Everyone seemed to have thought of this, the girl named Zhang Ting had a pale face, and said in a crying voice: "She, she... can't be a dead person?" The lump made her feel cold.
He Yong: "I'm not afraid of dead people, and I didn't attack you. What are you afraid of? Ask other people, there must be clues, there is no dead end, don't waste time."
His calm tone reassured Zhang Ting a lot. She looked at the other two and found that they didn't look scared. They were both very calm.
Zhang Ting: ...
What an amazing squad she's on.
Afterwards, the four of them began to ask everyone they saw, but they still found nothing until the evening. Fortunately, no one spoke to them. The food was edible, but they didn't dare to eat it indiscriminately. A few people dug sweet potatoes and potatoes from the ground, brought them back and baked them.
Other teams came back one after another, and everyone was downcast without any clues. This is not good news, the mission time limit seems to be catching up with them, making He Yong's expression somber.
"Continue to search tomorrow," He Yong gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone you meet will ask again, and no one will be missed."
When everyone was silent, one person said: "I suggest to divide into teams, the map of the whole village is available, and according to today's expanded area, a team is responsible for one area, and it is more efficient to ask back and forth in the area you are in charge of. , and there will be no omissions."
He Yong looked at Qin Tan, "It's not easy to distribute without a map."
Qin Tan took out a piece of notebook paper from his bag and handed it over, "I drew this."
On the paper is a simple map, although the lines are simple, but the content is clearly marked. The main landmarks in the village are all there, the big tree at the entrance of the East Village, the well at the entrance of the West Village, and a small square in the middle, and the positions of their footholds are marked with a red dot.
It looks professional.
He Yong took a deep look at Qin Tan and weighed it in his heart.
Qin Tan didn't dodge at all and let others look at him. It wasn't until He Yong began to allocate areas according to the map that Lou Fan approached him and gave him a thumbs up. Qin Tan smiled back.
At night, he was still on watch with Qin Tan, and Lou Fan woke up early. For dinner, he ate a roasted sweet potato, which was too late to digest. He picked a few potatoes and buried them in the fire, propped his chin and stared at the fire in a daze.
He still couldn't believe that he had arrived in a parallel world, but he was pulled in after just taking a nap. It's incredible how much power a leaflet can have. But when he looked at the sleeping people around him, he couldn't help but believe that it was true.
Before he went to the capital to participate in the competition, he had a fight with his mother because she found out that her son liked men. For a traditional mother, this was a bolt from the blue. She couldn't believe that her son would grow crooked . Fortunately, Lou Fan's father didn't know about this matter, and both mother and son tacitly kept it a secret. There happened to be a competition, and Lou's father attached great importance to this competition, and asked Lou Fan to participate on behalf of Jianshe. Lou Fan readily agreed, just in time to let his mother calm down.
Unexpectedly, something happened this time.
Lou Fan sighed softly and was patted on the shoulder. He turned his head and saw the energetic Qin Tan.
"Why are you moaning and sighing?" Qin Tan sat down beside him, and turned on the fire casually, "You miss home?"
"No." Lou Fan replied.
His parents were both workaholics since he was a child, his mother was in business, and his father devoted himself to archery. The two of them had little relationship when they got together, and Lou Fan was also sensible and precocious since he was six years old. I went to school by myself. It's a pity that even if he is so independent, he eats instant noodles or small restaurants outside most of the time. Boiling eggs can burn the pot, and fried eggs have never been burnt. He can grow up smoothly, thanks to the restaurants near his home.
From elementary school to high school graduation, there was no parent meeting where his parents were present. It was not until high school graduation that the teacher asked the parents to come, and his mother found out that her son was going to college.
"But I just feel that if I disappear suddenly, I feel a little sorry for my parents." At least there must be an explanation.
Qin Tan thinks this guy is quite interesting. He looks handsome and handsome, and has a good personality. He is like the kind of gentle boy that teachers and girls like in school, but he is also very calm. He has no extra words, but he is surprisingly capable. Spot key places right away.
"What's mushy?" Qin Tan shrugged his nose.
Lou Fan groaned, "My potatoes." The potatoes buried under the fire were charred and inedible.
Lou Fan cursed secretly, rubbed his stomach and shrunk, he, the king of the dark culinary world, might starve to death here, this way of death would make people laugh to death.
Qin Tan looked at the scorched potatoes and chuckled lightly. It is also a special ability to make potatoes like this.
"What are you laughing at!" Lou Fan suddenly became angry, cooking was his death spot.
Qin Tan: "I didn't laugh, you heard it wrong. Are you hungry? I'll bake it for you, potatoes or sweet potatoes?"
"Potato."
Lou Fan watched him bury the potatoes under the fire, the operation process was the same, but he wanted to see the difference in the final result. He stood up and patted his pants, walked outside with his bow on his back and checked around.
Everything works fine, nothing suspicious.
"Where is Erniang Yu?" Lou Fan murmured against the door frame.
Qin Tan dropped the wooden stick in his hand and walked to him, the moon in the night sky was round and bright. "Have you ever played the game? We didn't find Yu Erniang because we didn't find the trigger point. If we don't get clues, we can't find anyone. There is no difference between this place and the game. The only thing is that if you die, you are really gone."
"I can't see that you still know how to play games. By the way, what did you do before?" Lou Fan is not a person who likes to inquire, but the person in front of him gives him a good feeling. He is handsome and calm, and he looks very dependable. Spectrum, since it is necessary to form a team to complete the task and survive, the importance of teammates is self-evident.
How could it be possible that Qin Tan didn't know what he was thinking, and his calculation was also like this. "Retired soldiers, start a small business by yourself."
veterans. Lou Fan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't think about the answer, but he frowned with satisfaction, "I'm an amateur archer, and I run the archery with my father."
Qin Tan: "Let's go back to Liuli and form a team."
Lou Fan: "It's a deal."
Qin Tan laughed, turned back to the fire and took out the potatoes below, the slightly cool air was instantly filled with the smell of food. Lou Fan stared at the moon steadily.
"Come and eat potatoes." Qin Tan called someone over.
Lou Fan picked up the potato and peeled it and bit it down. The soft and waxy feeling of the potato filled his mouth. He took two bites hard and said it was delicious.
Suddenly, he stopped, got up and ran to the door to look at the moon again.
"Qin Tan." He shouted, pointing at the moon in midair, "That moon is fake."
It was as round and big as yesterday, and the strangest thing was that it was already early morning, but the moon was still hanging in the sky.
Qin Tan only glanced at it, then immediately turned around and called He Yong to get up, He Yong looked worried at the moon in the sky. He thought it was a simple task, but after a day, he still hadn't touched the door, which was enough to make him urgent, and now there is still a whole moon. He originally thought that this mission might be lucky and he would not meet any ghosts, who knows what should come or will come.
He gritted his teeth, walked back and forth twice, and finally waved his hand, "I see, let me know what you find. Tomorrow morning, follow the plan, take one step at a time, and if you don't find the key trigger point, this mission is impossible." Do."
After all, he was an old man who had gone through five missions, and both of them chose to listen to him. No matter how experienced Qin Tan is in combat, he is useless now. After all, he is also a newcomer, so he won't be of much use in this strange world.
Thinking that the two were a little nervous, He Yong comforted: "Don't worry, it won't be too difficult, there are quite a lot of newcomers this time." I don't know whether he is comforting them or comforting himself.
In order to save time, early in the morning, each group of team members went to the area they were responsible for according to the plan. The four people in Loufan asked all the people in the area they were in charge of, even the one-year-old child playing in the mud on the ground, but unfortunately there was nothing.
The village seemed to be performing a pantomime, dead silent.
Fortunately, at four o'clock in the afternoon, a signal flare suddenly rose in the sky, and the bright color dispelled the gloom between everyone's brows. Everyone quickly gathered in that direction.
When He Yong arrived, he immediately made way in the middle, and the person who found the clue stepped forward with a happy expression on his face.
"Brother Yong, this old man answered me."
He Yong was overjoyed, and immediately stepped forward, in front of him was a very ordinary-looking old man, lean and capable, who was drying his things.
"Master, do you know where Erniang Yu is?" He Yong asked.
"Let me think about it." The old man made a thoughtful look, and then looked at the sky, "It's getting dark, ouch, my radish flowers are still in the field, what should I do?"
