The old woman came and went silently, and of course it was possible that they were too focused on the cat corpse and the dead baby, so they didn't notice anyone approaching for a while.
In short, the sudden appearance of the other party really startled the other two players.
The old woman was stooped, but she was not on crutches. Lu Qingjia noticed the footprints behind her, which were plain, strong, and clear.
So he smiled: "Grandma, what's going on?"
He pointed to the dead baby on the tree: "I've heard that cats are unlucky to die and can't be buried. Why is this baby hanging here?"
The old woman seemed to be very new to the three of them. When Lu Qingjia asked her, she looked at the three of them greedily, and finally her eyes fell on Lu Qingjia.
Hehe smiled: "After all, she is a girl. It is a virtue to be able to appease the mountain god."
He said to the three again: "But when you come back, you don't have to do this evil."
Lu Qingjia laughed, glanced at the baby tied to the dead cat, and said, "But if I were a mountain god, I wouldn't be happy with such a gift to me."
The old woman's face changed when she heard the words: "Shut up, sin and sin. Children are ignorant and offend the mountain god, don't blame them."
The other party rubbed his hands and bowed around, as if he was afraid of being implicated by Lu Qingjia's mad words just now.
Lu Qingjia was also a pervert. Not only did he not shut up, but he stepped on the tree and untied the ropes that hung the cat corpse and the dead baby.
"You, what are you doing?" The old woman hurriedly tried to stop her, but was stopped by extreme players and infinite players.
Lu Qingjia dug a hole in the ground and buried the cat and the dead baby hastily.
He said, "Grandma, listen to me, if feudal superstition is bad, let's not say it's scary or not. This breeds bacteria and sheds corpse poison. If anyone beats here with bare feet, their feet will rot."
Grandma is extremely anxious: "You little bastards, your father and grandfather are all beasts who are greedy for life and fear of death, and small is not a good thing."
"Hurry up and dig it out and hang it back, or no one can save you later, Mountain God—"
Lu Qingjia didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and said, "Mountain God?"
He said something and pointed in the direction of the village: "We came back because we have something to discuss with it."
"I wonder if grandma has time to lead the way?"
Speaking of this, the old woman's mood changed, as if the anxiety just now disappeared, and she began to look at Lu Qingjia and the others with those rare eyes like tribute.
"Come on, come on, come on." While leading the way, he hummed a tune that looked weird under the sunset.
From time to time, there is a phrase "when you come back, don't go", it's not like singing, but like words sung at a funeral.
This village is not small, at least from the perspective of Lu Qingjia, there are at least 200 households.
The houses of every household are relatively densely built, although according to Father Lu, the village has been completely isolated from the world in order to prevent the escape of young people like those of the past.
Only a few who have a firm belief in mountain gods will be allowed to go out to study and then return to the village to become teachers.
According to the players' imaginations, this place should be a poor and backward place that is still stuck in the last century.
But unexpectedly, the houses in the village are neat and solid, with uniform white walls and gray tiles, and cement roads lead to every household, which looks good.
At this time, the sun was about to set, and most of the people who went out to work were carrying agricultural tools back home.
This village obviously sacrifices its population every three years, but the villagers' faces show no signs of depression and decadence.
Most of the people who passed by looked calm and relaxed, but when they saw the three Lu Qingjia, who were obviously dressed out of place, their expressions changed, and they looked at them with eyes full of emotions.
This kind of look makes people uncomfortable, especially when there are so many people looking at them at the same time.
But fortunately, the three players are all battle-hardened, which is not a concern.
Lu Qingjia even smiled at a few young girls who had returned from the pig grass.
The men in the village faced the loess and turned their backs to the sky, all of them rough, black and yellow. Girls who were used to seeing these, suddenly saw a man like Lu Qingjia who didn't seem to be of the same species.
White and clean, decent and elegant, and even more dazzling than the stars in the books they occasionally glanced at.
Immediately blushed, he lowered his head and dared not look at him, his footsteps became hurried.
The old woman was very dissatisfied and snorted coldly, but said nothing.
But I don't know who quickly spread the news of their return. When the old woman led them to stop, a large number of villagers had gathered around the three.
Many were still holding rice bowls and chopsticks, apparently coming out to watch the fun while they were having dinner.
He didn't shy away from his gaze, and even blatantly pointed at the three of Lu Qingjia.
The old woman knocked on the door, the solid wood door opened from the inside, and an old man with a pipe came out.
Without even needing the old woman's explanation, he said to the three of Lu Qingjia: "Come back? Come in first."
Lu Qingjia said: "You don't seem to be surprised that we will come."
The other party smiled: "What's so strange? You always have to come back."
After speaking, he even took a deep look at Lu Qingjia and said with a twisted smile, "There's nothing you can do if you don't come back."
These words aroused the vigilance of extreme players and infinite players. They glanced at Lu Qingjia, and had some guesses in their hearts about the fact that the old man only brought Lu Qingjia out.
This also explains why Lu Qingjia was the first to know the quest and difficulty style of the dungeon. It seems that the other party has already taken it one step ahead of them.
However, the two of them still don't know what Lu Qingjia has analyzed. This curse can be transferred, so for the time being, their sympathy for Lu Qingjia is greater than their suspicion.
The old man glanced at the black cat in Lu Qingjia's arms, spat unlucky, but moved away and let the three of them in.
This is the ancestral hall in the village.
But the old woman and other villagers did not follow.
The old man led them into the worship house and pointed to the three futons on the ground: "Kneel down."
The three ignored him, but instead began to look at the whole house.
In addition to the ancestral tablets displayed in order, the top one is a stone covered with a red cloth.
Lu Qingjia pointed at the stone and said, "Is this the mountain god?"
Seeing that the three of them were being rude, the old man didn't even get angry, he just said, "Yes and no."
He sighed and shook his head: "You guys who grew up outside, you just don't have the rules."
After speaking, he looked at Lu Qingjia carefully and asked, "How many do you have in your family?"
Knowing that he was asking about his own generation, Lu Qingjia replied, "Two, and a brother."
The old man smiled strangely: "I said that the baby looks familiar, so it was your brother who came at that time."
After speaking, he shook his head: "It's a pity, it's a pity."
Maybe it's because this world is where my uncle was buried, so Lu Qingjia's performance in this dungeon is very different from his usual style in many details.
The other two players didn't know each other at all, but Zhong Liyu had the best experience.
The most obvious is that he has become impatient with many things.
Hearing the old man's words, although he still had a smile on his face, Zhong Liyu could feel that Lu Qingjia was sharp and aggressive at the moment.
If it wasn't for his uncle, he would probably have taken out a cannon and smashed the ancestral hall to pieces.
At this time, he suppressed his emotions and asked, "Where is the place of sacrifice? Shouldn't it be here?"
"Haha, what's the hurry?" the old man said: "Just stay for a few more days, I will let you see."
Hearing that, Lu Qingjia was really not in a hurry. He walked through the ancestral hall and found that the gains were limited, so he followed the old man out.
At this time, the villagers hadn't dispersed, but there were more people watching the excitement, and the children also pointed at the three of them.
Lu Qingjia asked the old man, "Where shall we live next?"
As soon as these words came out, one person came out of the crowd, looking at the appearance of forty or fifty years old, but the actual age should be younger.
He was considered a burly man among men in this village. He gave Lu Qingjia a cold look and said, "Come with me."
Obviously, for those who came back from outside, there was a way to arrange it.
The man took the three to an empty house near the back mountain. There was obviously no trace of living here, but it was cleaned unexpectedly.
However, looking at the degree of damage to the walls and furniture, it should have been cleaned again in the past two days.
Apparently it was expected that someone would come to clean it up on purpose, rather than taking care of it for a long time.
There are several rooms in the house, and each room has a bed, enough for the three of them.
The man pointed to the kitchen again: "Rice, noodles, and rapeseed are all available. If you want to eat something, you can make it yourself. If you have something to do outside the door and call 'Lao Xi', I'll come."
Really communication basically depends on roar.
After the man left, Lu Qingjia took out his mobile phone, but as expected, there was no signal.
However, he and Infinite Players don't have to worry about this. Most of the Infinite City are cross-generational technology products.
There is a prop the size of a dust plug, which is a powerful signal receiver when plugged into a mobile phone.
Not to mention a village that is only tens of kilometers away from the outside world, even a signal that is thousands of miles away can be forcibly captured, and the ordinary physical barrier is not very useful. ,
Unless locked in a room made of a specific metal and thicker than one meter.
Lu Qingjia threw a receiver to the extreme player, and the two players looked at Lu Qingjia with strange eyes.
Kind of scary.
You must know that the items in other games are usually obtained by participating in the exchange student dungeon. Lu Qingjia can easily take it out now, which means that he has probably participated in the exchange student dungeon of the infinite game.
However, he appeared here again. It stands to reason that most players can only participate once, so the situation is a bit sour now.
However, compared to this possibility, the two are more willing to convince themselves of the fact that the other party knows the players who have participated in the infinite dungeon and gets the props from the other party.
But seeing him hand out the props without changing his face, this reason is untenable again.
When the two players were confused, Lu Qingjia took some food out of the space.
At this time, he was too lazy to cook, and he was hungry after a few hours of driving.
In order to cope with the lack of resources, with the amount of space Lu Qingjia has now, he was fully prepared, and the rations on his body were even enough for him to survive for a long time in places without food.
He took out a steaming lunch and ate it with the cat.
Seeing this, the two players also took out their food, but the food of the extreme players was interesting.
Lu Qingjia glanced at the strange dishes in the other party's lunch box, purple tomatoes, red blueberries, apples with blue flesh, and fish fillet sashimi that looked evil in color.
The extreme player noticed the eyes of the two and smiled: "People have mutated, how can plants and animals be spared?"
"But these things you can't eat are highly poisonous."
Lu Qingjia asked, "Are you a poison skin man?"
The other party nodded: "As soon as this copy came in, I became like this. I'm not used to it. Fortunately, I can change it back to the original state. Otherwise, I would be a little flustered without the poison to rely on."
Venomskins are dangerous existences in the three major games. They are covered with poison, and the breath they exhale is even poisonous. It is fine in a wide space. If you stay with Venomskins in a narrow and closed room, ordinary people will It won't take long for it to be poisoned to death.
Therefore, Extreme Space has developed a kind of equipment for Venomskins, which is as thin as a cicada's wings and can filter the toxicity emitted by their breath and sweat.
Of course, this equipment can also be removed in an instant. After all, the Venomskins have no advantage in the early stage, relying on this innate advantage.
During the meal, the three exchanged some information about their respective games, as well as their thoughts on this dungeon.
After a while, they went back to their rooms and planned to rest.
Lu Qingjia lay on the bed and stared at the mosquito net above his head in a daze. The black cat stepped on his chest and swept Lu Qingjia's neck with its tail.
He grabbed his tail and stroked his tail with one hand.
Lu Qingjia was unconscious, but this action made Zhong Liyu wonder.
I just hate myself for not being human now.
If Lu Qingjia knew what this guy was thinking, he would probably have just squeezed his cat's tail and threw him against the wall.
Thinking about things in his heart, Lu Qingjia fell asleep in a daze.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly opened his eyes and realized that something was wrong around him.
The black cat woke up a long time ago, but because of the agreement at the beginning, he didn't dare to remind him or help him, and just stood beside his pillow and looked at him anxiously.
When Lu Qingjia woke up, he was relieved.
Lu Qingjia realized something was wrong without even getting up.
The whole house is too cold.
The body feels dozens of degrees below zero. It is summer now, and Lu Qingjia only wears a thin pajamas when she sleeps. At this temperature, even the players are not enough.
But he soon found out why, because the white mosquito net around him had been covered with a thick layer of ice at some point.
And Lu Qingjia could feel that these ices were made with his ability, and he was still running at full power.
In other words, the coldness that can be achieved now is the limit of the frost ability that Lu Qingjia has mastered.
He hurriedly wanted to remove his ability, but found that there was no response.
With a "click", the ice cubes above shattered, and the thick ice cubes were about to fall.
Lu Qingjia rolled to the side. Unexpectedly, that was just a cover. Several ice picks rushed towards him from the other direction at a very fast speed.
It stands to reason that with the strength of Lu Qingjia's body, as well as the fighting ability blessed by the blood of the gods, and the ability to recover from abnormality, there are only a few ice picks in such a short distance that there is not enough acceleration force, so there is no need to hide.
But Lu Qingjia couldn't resist.
So a big hole appeared under him, any door opened, and he and the cat leaked out of the bed and appeared at the bottom of the bed.
At the same time, the Holy Light ability was activated on the body. Although no one was in front of him at the moment to make this ability useful, it was suitable to be used as a light bulb.
Then Lu Qingjia saw a strangely shaped talisman under the bed. ,
He tore the thing off and got out under the bed.
At this time, the ground was also quickly covered with frost, and a large beach of silt immediately appeared under Lu Qingjia to prevent himself from being frozen and sticking to the ground.
However, the domineering frost quickly made the mud stiff and inflexible.
It's more powerful than when he's manipulating his own abilities, and it lacks a little dexterity, but it's undoubtedly tricky.
Lu Qingjia had to open any door again. This time someone appeared in the yard and left the room, but Frost didn't chase him out.
When the other two players heard the movement, they quickly came out of the room and asked Lu Qingjia, "What's wrong?"
Lu Qingjia raised his chin towards the other side of the room, and when they looked over, they could feel a huge chill through the door.
"Isn't this a curse?"
Lu Qingjia said: "Of course, it is very difficult to kill a player by just relying on chain accidents.
But it is impossible to ignore the loss and disregard the lives of NPCs. In addition to a copy of the game, this is a living world. This is only an intermediate field, and it is a world with sound order, peace and stability, and world consciousness will not allow certain rules. disturb the order.
The player's abilities are all kinds of strange, and if nothing else, Lu Qingjia's defensive bubble alone, if it's just the kind of routine that death has come, relying on physical attacks brought about by accidents in reality, to be honest, can't hurt Lu Qingjia at all.
It's a big deal that he wears defensive bubbles on his body anytime and anywhere throughout the dungeon, so that the game is not as tricky as he thinks.
The same is true for other players, no matter what, there will always be a way to protect themselves.
But as strong as the old uncle, he even has the ability to control the time of items, which is not enough for him to save his life.
Of course, the main reason was mistrusting others, but obviously, since this game could allow a cheater who was still an exchange student at the time to seek shelter, knowing that he could become an exchange student already showed that he was very powerful.
In this way, it is obvious that in addition to the accidental accident, there is also a greater murderous intention.
It's just that Lu Qingjia never thought that it would be a rebellion against his own abilities.
When the two players learned that the ability to riot belonged to Lu Qingjia, their scalps went numb with shock.
If that's the case, this copy is really scary.
It’s almost impossible to prevent. Imagine that when an accident comes, you subconsciously use your ability to resist, and at this time your ability fails and even attacks you in turn. If there is no more effective emergency plan and strong enough response ability, then rollover is almost inevitable. thing.
Besides, no one can say for sure, the rebellion of ability is only for one ability.
After a long time, the traces of frost subsided, Lu Qingjia raised his hand and waved to the ground, and a piece of frost appeared.
He said, "I'm back."
This discovery didn't make them much happy, after all, it meant that other abilities might defect at any time without warning.
Lu Qingjia continued to go back to the room to sleep, glanced at the spell ripped from the bottom of the bed, and put it away when she couldn't figure it out.
The next morning, I was woken up by roosters crowing everywhere in the village.
After getting up and eating a simple breakfast, Lu Qingjia discussed the assignment with the two players and went out alone.
When he came to the river, several young girls were doing laundry together.
Seeing Lu Qingjia coming, he shyly looked at him secretly, and from time to time they would gather together to mumble a few words, and let out a burst of sweet laughter.
Someone bolder asked Lu Qingjia directly, "Are you selected this year?"
Lu Qingjia did not expect that in this village, the caliber of young people is different from that of the elderly.
But it's not surprising. Seeing the villagers who watched the lively before, adults over a certain age kept it a secret, but teenagers and children didn't have any ill will towards them outsiders.
On the contrary, it is more curious and fresh.
So listening to the other party's question, Lu Qingjia nodded.
Then he smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't come back since I was born. This time I knew I was going to come, and I've always been a little nervous. I'm afraid the folks won't like me."
The daring girl opened her head, and the others were not shy.
He came over and smiled and said, "Where is it, you look so handsome, I like it."
He asked him again: "Do you still keep a black cat? The adults said that a black cat is unlucky. Whoever keeps it will not die well. Did you choose it because of its implication?"
Lu Qingjia didn't answer the question, but took out a box like a trick.
He smiled at a few girls and said, "My mother asked me to bring something back, so it's not rude, so I prepared something for you."
Open the box, there are some popular jewelry on the market, hairpin bracelets, small combs, earrings and the like.
It wasn't that Lu Qingjia brought it with him before he left yesterday, it was bought by him when he went back to the city through any door just now.
Although the mountain village is not poor, it is closed and conservative. Even if you occasionally go out to the town to go to the market, where can you see such exquisitely crafted and uniquely glittering objects in ordinary remote towns
The girl loves to be pretty, and she can't look away when she sees these little gifts.
A girl whispered: "The village is not allowed to take foreign things."
Lu Qingjia smiled and gestured with a hairpin on her head: "You have long and beautiful hair, this suits you very well."
He added: "It's just some gadgets. If it's inconvenient to wear it for a while, it's not in vain to keep it for a look."
The daring girl gritted her teeth and took out a small comb from the box: "I, I want this."
Started, and others followed suit.
With short hands, and Lu Qingjia's good looks and sweet mouth, how can a few girls who have never even been out of the village stand up
Lu Qingjia said casually, and the chatter of what should be said or not should be said as gossip.
Zhong Liyu was in Lu Qingjia's arms and felt very dissatisfied.
This is when he is still there. If he is not there, how can Lu Qingjia coax women.
So the black cat in his arms was about to make trouble, but while chatting with a few girls, Lu Qingjia stroked the black cat's belly with one hand.
He slowly touched it in a rather provocative way, which was completely different from the usual cat licking.
Zhong Liyu's entire cat's body froze, feeling that hand rummaging through his cat's fur.
Then I found a small bump, circled it with my index finger, and even pushed it with my thumb.
Although Zhong Liyu is a cat now, his body sensation is no different from that of a human being.
Although the physiological structure of a cat is different from that of humans, there are many things that should be sensitive and stimulated. After all, he is only deformed now, not all species have changed.
I have been vegetarian for several years, how can I stand this kind of teasing.
Zhong Liyu's whole cat was hardened, and then he was paralyzed in Lu Qingjia's arms. As he ascended to the sky, he began to wonder how he was going to eat meat when he went out.
He shouldn't be unfamiliar with his skills for so long, right
No, Jiajia is so skilled, and his experience is also engraved in his body memory.
Lu Qingjia glanced at the cat that wished to grow on his hand, and there was a little more smile in his eyes.
It's really cute that this hand can control it.
Sexual harassment of cats does not hinder Lu Qingjia's clichés, but unfortunately, the girls don't know much about it, and they are processed.
But from the side, Lu Qingjia also extracted a lot of what he wanted to know.
But the words of one of the girls made Lu Qingjia's face change suddenly.
The other party asked, "Are you going to worship in front of the mountain god to get married this time?"
"Huh? What does this mean?" At this time, Lu Qingjia looked quite calm, not realizing the problem.
The girl said, "My father heard from the grandfather last night that you are Brother Ji's younger brother. Don't you know?"
"Brother Ji came back then and got married."
The smile on Lu Qingjia's face disappeared for some time, and he asked, "Why? Did you come back from outside to find someone from the village to marry?"
The girl shook her head: "No, it's the one brought back by Brother Ji himself. It's a man, eh? But what's his name? Why can't I remember it?"
Another girl said, "Brother Ji was scolded a lot at that time, but he still worshipped people."
A smile appeared on Lu Qingjia's face again, and the girls didn't notice, but Zhong Liyu didn't dare to waver at this moment, and was stabbed by Lu Qingjia's murderous intent to shrink his neck.
Lu Qingjia murmured in a low voice, "So they're all married? Of course, they can't let people be separated from each other for too long."
