Shen Dongqing put the notebook on his lap, used the ice cream card, and dropped a raspberry-flavored ice cream. He licked it and looked down at the thick notebook.
[Mom is crazy, my mother said my sister is looking for my mother]
[But my father said I don't have a sister]
[…]
[Boom—Mom is gone]
The person who wrote this notebook is very young, and the diary is a little confusing.
Shen Dongqing stared at the line of words for a while, and suddenly felt a sinking around him, and a refreshing water vapor rushed to his face.
Zhou Wenyan stroked his wet forehead hair and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Shen Dongqing handed over the notebook.
Zhou Wenyan sat beside him with his legs bent, swept the contents recorded in the notebook hastily, and turned to the first page.
A name is written on the back of the cover of the notebook.
Shen Dongqing leaned over and said, "I wrote it?"
Zhou Wenyan groped for the crooked three words "Shen Dongqing" and said, "This is the role-playing mode."
In this mode, the player's identity is brought into it and becomes part of the dungeon.
That's why tablets and notebooks engraved with "Shen Dongqing" appeared. In his capacity, he should have been in the same camp as the NPC.
Zhou Wenyan shook his notebook, and a photo fell from it.
The photo is black and white, with yellowed edges, and a family of four can be seen standing on it.
The woman's face is blurred, holding a big boy in one hand and a little boy in the other, and standing next to a serious man.
The back of the photo reads "Dad, Mom, Brother and Me" in the same children's font.
Shen Dongqing pointed at the big boy and said, "This is you?"
Zhou Wenyan said "uh": "Yes."
It seems that this stupid game has been done in great detail, and even the appearance of a child has been simulated.
Shen Dongqing looked at it for a while and said, "It doesn't look like it."
Zhou Wenyan asked casually, "Did you see me when I was young?"
Shen Dongqing stopped talking.
He had indeed seen it, but when he had a yin kiss in a dream, if he talked about it, he would definitely not be able to hide the matter of the yin kiss. He couldn't lie, and his cheeks flushed slightly.
Under the candlelight, Zhou Wenyan felt that the cheek was very attractive, like a sweet and juicy peach, making people want to taste it.
He thought so and did so, leaned forward and took a light bite.
Shen Dongqing: "Oh!"
Zhou Wenyan let go and said with a smile, "It's so sweet."
Sweeter than ice cream and candy combined.
Shen Dongqing touched the shallow tooth marks on his cheeks, turned his eyes, and jumped directly: "I want to bite you too."
The two rolled together at once.
Zhou Wenyan held down Shen Dongqing's hand and said dumbly, "Baby, don't move."
Shen Dongqing stopped and sat on Zhou Wenyan's waist, looking down at him blankly.
Zhou Wenyan took a deep breath, and then smiled bitterly, "Don't think of me too much as a gentleman."
Shen Dongqing followed his gaze and looked down, and saw some reactions that were inappropriate for children. He quickly rolled from the top to the corner as if he had been scalded.
He hugged the quilt, the white jade-like earlobes rose with redness, and a layer of water light appeared in his black and white eyes, and he secretly glanced at Zhou Wenyan.
Zhou Wenyan is not a gentleman, but he is not a beast dominated by his lower body. It is impossible under such circumstances...
He took a light breath, sat up, coughed twice and said, "Go to sleep first."
There is something wrong with this sentence.
Shen Dongqing blinked: "Huh?"
Zhou Wenyan raised his hand: "Pure sleep, don't dare to do anything else."
Shen Dongqing then slowly moved over, stretched out his hand and gave him half of the quilt.
The two were lying on the small wooden bed, close to each other, Zhou Wenyan hesitated for a moment, but still hugged the person in his arms, and after a while, there was a gentle breathing sound.
While half asleep, Shen Dongqing heard a child's cry, soft and weak, like a cat.
In the cry, accompanied by the shrill cry of the child: "Brother."
"Brother, come here."
"My mother and I are waiting for you."
Shen Dongqing turned over, patted the side, and muttered, "It's so noisy..."
If the noise makes him sleep again, he will eat these little devils directly.
The figure hiding in the dark sensed the danger and flinched, not daring to disturb his sleep any longer, and silently retreated to find the next target.
This sleep lasted until the afternoon.
Shen Dongqing hadn't woken up yet when he heard a knock at the door.
He opened his eyes impatiently and saw a man in a suit breaking through the door.
The man in the suit saw the scene on the bed and said subconsciously, "I'm sorry I went through the wrong door."
Shen Dongqing looked down, Zhou Wenyan was sleeping beside him, his shirt was unbuttoned, revealing a large chest.
It seems a little misleading.
Zhou Wenyan said hoarsely, "What's the matter?"
The man in the suit did not dare to turn around, so he turned his back to them and said, "There are two people who are crazy, they must go out..."
Zhou Wenyan rolled over from the bed, buttoning as he walked: "Go and have a look."
Other players live next door.
Probably because of fear, the beautiful JK girl also slept in the same room regardless of the difference between men and women.
Walking in, the beautiful girl JK and the non-mainstream stared straight, looking like they were fascinated. They wanted to go out. Fortunately, the man in leather was flexible and tied the two together with a quilt.
The man in the leather jacket said, "I woke up and saw that something was wrong with the two of them."
The non-mainstream and JK beautiful girl murmured: "I want to go out, go out..."
The man in the suit said, "Where are you going?"
Zhou Wenyan said, "It's a pond."
The man in leather pondered for a moment: "This little girl didn't even go into the water, we are all right here, why are they the only ones?"
The man in the suit said hesitantly, "Could it be because they are all girls?"
Zhou Wenyan: "Female?" He looked at the non-mainstream.
The man in the suit was stunned: "I accidentally touched it when I stopped someone just now. It's not mainstream and it's a woman."
Buried in the pond are the bones of women.
The bewildered players are all women.
Zhou Wenyan turned around: "Let's go to the ancestral hall."
Zhou Wenyan took Shen Dongqing, who was still a little confused, to the ancestral hall again.
The two walked over the wall with ease, the door lock of the ancestral hall was pried open, and the two doors swayed as the wind blew.
The ancestral hall during the day is a little less gloomy than last night.
Shen Dongqing pushed open the door and walked in.
Because the non-mainstream kept shouting that they saw the tablet, their attention also fell on the tablet, and now they come again and find something else.
The ground of the ancestral hall is paved with bluestone slabs, and brown lumps can be seen condensed in the gaps by candlelight.
Zhou Wenyan walked past the candlesticks on both sides, heading towards the deeper darkness.
Shen Dongqing glanced from side to side and followed him. On the way, his shoulder accidentally bumped into something next to him. The candlestick fell like a domino, and immediately scattered, leaving a spot on the bluestone slab. The dark red candle oil ignited clusters of flames.
In order not to burn down the ancestral hall, Shen Dongqing hurriedly picked up the futon placed on the ground and pressed it, putting out the flames.
There were too many candlesticks falling to the ground, clinking, and it took a while to stop.
Seeing that the fire would not start again, Shen Dongqing stood up and threw the futon back.
This throw, found something wrong.
The sound is not right.
It seems that the bottom is hollow.
Shen Dongqing stepped over and stepped on it: "The bottom is empty."
Zhou Wenyan heard the words, bent down and groped carefully, found a groove, and with a little force, lifted the bluestone slab above, revealing a deep passage below.
It seems that it has not been opened for a long time, and an unpleasant smell wafts out of it.
After the smell dissipated a little and the fresh air entered, the two walked down with the remaining candlesticks.
The steps went all the way down, and it didn't take long to get there.
Below is a cellar, the area is not large.
Shen Dongqing held the candlestick, looked at it with a faint light, and found thick chains nailed to the wall.
Zhou Wenyan lit the oil lamp inside, and the cellar suddenly lit up.
Shen Dongqing leaned over and saw blood on the iron chain, and some clothes scattered on the ground, both new and old, and they should all be women's.
"What is this for?" Shen Dongqing was puzzled, "Is it a place for lynching?"
Zhou Wenyan rummaged around in the cellar and found a piece of white paper stuffed inside the wall, with lines of small characters written with charcoal pen on it.
[They tricked me into coming here, they are all demons!]
[I've been trapped here for three months, if you see this note, I hope you can go to my family to rescue me, my address is...]
[I was... There were many people... I gave birth to a daughter, she was cute, it wasn't her fault]
[For the sake of my children, I should also live]
[He took the child away]
…
[I gave birth to another son, I don't even know who it is, they finally let me out, but what about my daughter?]
[My daughter is looking for me... I am going to find my daughter...]
Zhou Wenyan put away the note: "Go up."
Shen Dongqing asked, "What did you find?"
Zhou Wenyan: "Some bad things."
This cellar was used to keep the women who were abducted.
Lock them up and force them to have offspring.
Zhou Wenyan walked up the steps: "I think we should go back and consult Uncle He again."
Uncle He was too old to be frightened, and said shiveringly, "I already said that I don't know. The worship of ghost brides has always been handed down. I don't know anything except this."
Zhou Wenyan pulled over two chairs, and the two sat down in a row. His legs were crossed together: "Don't be so nervous, we just want to talk about everyday things."
He Bo looked at them suspiciously.
After all, judging from the performance of these two people, they don't seem to be people who can talk about everyday life.
Zhou Wenyan smiled kindly: "Of course, if you don't know, I'll give you to the ghost bride."
The wrinkles on Uncle He's face were so frightened that he trembled three times: "You ask, you ask."
Zhou Wenyan said, "How did I come to Sishui Town?"
In this dungeon, players are role-playing, and the game will dutifully fabricate a complete identity for the character, including details of where they came from, how many people in the family, and so on.
Uncle He seemed to be recalling, and his voice became a little erratic: "At that time, we didn't know she was pregnant, and we bought her and brought her back, and gave birth to you six months later, you are not from our town. "
So Zhou Wenyan was able to leave Sishui Town.
Zhou Wenyan asked, "How much did it cost to buy it back?"
Uncle He blurted out: "Four thousand, but it's a big price. Ordinary women only need two thousand."
After finishing speaking, He Bocai reacted and said embarrassingly: "It's all like this, we used to be like this here, no one wants to marry, they can only rely on buying a daughter-in-law. It's not easy to buy a daughter-in-law, and the poor in the family can't buy it, like I haven't been a bachelor all my life, I treat the second young master as my own child."
He Bo looked at Shen Dongqing.
Shen Dongqing looked away in disgust.
Zhou Wenyan: "Why are all the girls here dying?"
Uncle He rubbed his hands: "Girls, who doesn't like boys? Back then, I was poor and couldn't afford to raise so many children, so I had to raise boys, or else the incense would end."
"You're right?" He Bo Nian muttered, "Who doesn't like boys? I like it too, the incense can't be broken."
Shen Dongqing rolled his eyes: "It's not the same when I die."
How could he be more feudal than this thousand-year-old ghost
Uncle He seemed fascinated, stared at Shen Dongqing, and said, "Second Young Master, you are the only incense in our Shen family, you can't die. The tablet can no longer cover the ghost's eyes, so he has to give it to you. Take your life, otherwise... the woman in the pond will come up for her life... "
Shen Dongqing took out the tablet that was tucked in his arms: "This turns out to be fake?"
There seems to be a saying that if someone's time of death is approaching, they can go to a fake funeral or set up a burial mound to fool the eyes of the emissary, so that the emissary mistakenly thinks the person is dead and steals a life under the king of hell.
And here is a tablet, so that the ghosts think this person is already a ghost.
Therefore, in the absence of a tablet, Shen Dongqing could not leave the Shen family compound, otherwise it would lead to the end of the group.
Seeing this tablet, Uncle He's expression became even more frantic: "Yes, don't let them know, otherwise the only bloodline of the Shen family will be broken..."
Shen Dongqing: "Why?"
Zhou Wenyan guessed: "Maybe it has something to do with the girls who died."
He Bo murmured, "Because you changed their lives!"
Sishui Town is located in a remote location with inconvenient transportation, and it has never developed. In addition, patriarchal women are preferred, and no girls have survived. Gradually, there are only bachelors in the village.
They despise baby girls, but they want women to carry on their lineage.
Then there is only one way, to go out and buy women.
Some families have worked hard to save two or three thousand dollars, all of which are used to buy a daughter-in-law, buy a daughter-in-law, and keep it in the cellar for a period of time, and when she becomes pregnant, she will be obedient. The lazy man who has no money, saves a few hundred, and can rent a daughter-in-law from people in the same village to pass on the family.
How can a daughter-in-law bought with money be considered a human
Therefore, there are no women's tablets in the ancestral hall.
No one knows whose daughter-in-law and whose mother these women are.
I just don't know why, those daughters-in-law who bought it only know how to give birth to lose money. One family gave birth to four daughters in a row, but they didn't have a single incense stick. Only the men of the Shen family fell to the ground, and they were very jealous.
People from the town came to ask if there was a secret recipe.
The Shen family didn't hide their secrets, and said with a smile, "Exchange the boy's life with the girl's life."
Someone said, "What if those female dolls are going to sue the King of Hell?"
The Shen family said: "As long as they stop their mouths and cover their eyes, they can't speak or see."
Others thought he was right and went back to try.
Sure enough, there were more and more boys in the town, and the silt in the pond was getting thicker and thicker.
The aborigines in those towns were afraid, because buried in the pond was their dead sister.
More because they changed their lives.
A life for a life.
One life to die, one life to live.
People in this town shouldn't exist at all.
Shen Dongqing still didn't understand: "What happened to the ghost bride?"
"It's not a yin kinship." Zhou Wenyan said, "their lives have been changed, and they have to get that life back before they can be reincarnated."
This isn't genital kinship at all.
At the beginning, the aborigines in Sishui Town had no choice but to sacrifice their own people in order to survive.
But when outsiders came, the aboriginal people covered the eyes of the ghosts with paper and enshrined the outsiders in the form of yin kinship, so that they could not guess the behind-the-scenes stories.
Shen Dongqing: "How do you know it's not a yin kiss?"
Zhou Wenyan said lightly, "Because I married."
This is not the case with the process of yin-kissing.
Having a yin-kin doesn't kill anyone at all.
Specter is the most possessive, they won't hurt their lovers, but they will protect them like treasures.
Shen Dongqing said subconsciously, "You already know?!"
Do you know that you have committed bigamy
No, no, is this actually cheating
Shen Dongqing applied the knowledge he had learned to this situation, and he thought a little confusedly: Am I really a junior
Zhou Wenyan squeezed his palm and held back his smile: "We'll talk about it when we go out."
Shen Dongqing was pulled out of the Shen family compound, and finally came to a conclusion: "You are a scumbag!"
Zhou Wenyan:
