The four of them entered the wooden house, and they didn't want to see a woman with disheveled hair and pale complexion, sitting silently behind the counter facing the door, staring at the door, if it wasn't for the hand Prying the fly swatter freely, it is easy to be regarded as a wax figure.
Because this person was not expected, the four men were more or less startled when they first met her.
Tang Zhi took a look around the room and said, "This is an inn."
In front, the counter is next to the wooden ladder, and the wooden ladder leads to the upper floor. There is a long corridor on the left hand side of the door, and there are rooms one by one on the side of the long corridor, and the structure is symmetrical on the right hand side.
A wooden board was nailed to the wall behind the counter, and three rows of brass keys were hung on it. Numbers were pasted on each bunch of keys, which should be the corresponding room number.
Inside the wooden house, whether it is the floor, the roof, the walls or the furniture, they are all made of rough logs, and the green air of sawdust is everywhere. There are antlers and animal skins on the walls, and the decoration is natural and simple. If it is not built in the desolate snow field On the outside, deserted, this inn can be called retro, and it still has a natural style that is rare in modern times.
The woman looked at them indifferently, without making a sound, she looked away uninterestedly, her eyes continued to be empty, she looked towards the door, and the rose-red fly swatter in her hand was shaking up and down.
Anyway, it's not an attitude to attract customers.
Gu Meng stepped forward and asked through the counter: "Miss Boss, can people live here at night?"
The woman only said: "How many people?"
Gu Meng looked at the other three men, and replied, "Four."
The woman has a rigid expression and does not turn her head. She only uses the fly swatter stick to look at the wooden board behind. It seems that there are eyes on the back, and she picks up a bunch of keys with precision. on the counter.
"The first room on the left." The woman added, lifeless, "Quadruple room."
Gu Meng picked up the key, it was covered with dirt from engine oil and looked dull.
Go back and ask for advice: "Living together?"
The men said they were okay.
Tang Zhi thought of a question and said, "Excuse me, do you provide three meals here?"
Woman: "If you need."
Tang Zhi looked at Bo Ye with a little confusion in his eyes.
If the inn serves three meals normally, the survival pressure of the players will be greatly reduced, and there will be no need to fight for supplies, which means that so far, their guesses about the attributes of this game are all wrong.
Bo Ye understood what he meant, squeezed his palm to show that he was not in a hurry, and then asked the woman, "What's your name?"
The woman looked at the green fir trees outside the door, covered with white snow, and said quietly: "People in this area call me Aunt Xue."
"People from this area?" Gu Meng was wiping the grease off the keys, when she heard this, she raised her head and asked, "Is there anyone else around here?"
Aunt Xue didn't speak any more, her eyes were lifeless, and she pried the fly swatter again and again.
"Find time to go to the mountain to have a look." Seeing that she didn't want to reveal more, Bo Ye didn't care much, and suggested, "Go back to the room first, and wait for the others."
The room is on the left side of the counter, very close to the door. Gu Meng opened the door with the key. After inserting the key into the lock, she turned it for a long time, but it didn't turn.
Bo Ye leaned against the wall, seeing him jamming in front of the door and rattling, unable to open the door for a long time, he lowered his head and rubbed between his brows: "Teacher Gu, can you do it?"
"This key is too blunt, don't blame me." Gu Meng muttered dissatisfiedly, turned her head to the counter not far away, and said, "Miss Boss, your lock is not good, it can't be twisted at all."
Aunt Xue gave him a sideways look, and finally she was willing to move her position. She got up from the round chair, walked around the counter, and walked slowly to the four of them.
Gu Meng made way sideways, and the woman took the key with one hand.
Gu Meng stood close, so he noticed her hand, and couldn't help shivering when he saw it.
The woman has a pair of extremely white hands, so white that blood vessels, veins, and skin lines can't be seen, only two white flesh are left, which have the shape of five fingers, as if they are really a pair of fake hands made of wax, revealing a cold and dark feeling. fear.
Gu Meng's expression became indescribable, and she began to doubt whether the NPC in front of her was a living person, so she hurriedly looked away and took a step back.
With a twist of Aunt Xue's hand, the door opened in response. Gu Meng did what was obviously very laborious, but she did it easily.
Afterwards, she pulled out the key and handed it back to Gu Meng.
Gu Meng took it carefully, trying not to have any physical contact with her, and reluctantly said: "Thank you... Thank you."
Aunt Xue glanced at him coolly, sneered softly, her voice was full of contempt: "You have the ability to snatch men, why don't you have the ability to open the door."
Gu Meng: "..."
One after another, the players on the snowy field walked towards the height together, and also found the three-storey wooden house hidden in the cedar forest.
Seeing that it was an inn, everyone began to allocate rooms, looking for teammates, and the place where they entered became lively.
Hearing that the inn still serves three meals as usual, most people were relieved, thinking that their previous worries were in vain.
Judging from the current situation, there is a place to live, three meals to eat, and the weather is also excellent. The game seems to be just sending them up the mountain for vacation, and the atmosphere is suddenly much more relaxed.
But a small number of people still maintained a high degree of vigilance, and noticed a slight sense of disobedience.
"Brother Ruan, what should we do with the food?"
Wang Xiaochi threw a large bag of food on his back to the ground, tapped his back, and asked Ruan Chushui.
Behind him, another boy put down his suitcase, which also contained some food.
At this time, it was already dusk, the golden sunset was slantingly reflected on the snow field, and the light coming in from the cedar forest was even less, so the inside of the wooden house looked extremely dark.
Ruan Chushui glanced at the ground with the light from the door, and thought about it: "Find a room first, and put it in the room."
"okay."
Ruan Chushui, whom Wang Xiaochi met in the first game, together with another girl named Luo Ting, after successfully clearing the level, they spent seven days together in the Wisdom House and entered this dungeon together, so the three of them are very familiar with each other.
Ruan Chushui is stable and has many ways. Wang Xiaochi has long recognized his ability, so he will obey him in everything. Seeing that he has the courage to take on the task of managing resources just now, he admires him even more, and feels a little proud.
Wang Xiaochi said: "Brother Ruan, let's choose the room upstairs."
Ruan Chushui nodded, thinking it was all right.
Without saying a word, Wang Xiaochi picked up the travel bag again and walked upstairs.
In front of the counter, a man looked up and shouted: "Madam proprietress, why don't you turn on the light, it's too dark in your room, you can hardly see where is where."
"There is no light." Aunt Xue pried the fly swatter and replied to him without any ups and downs.
The surroundings were quiet for a moment, and the people blocking the entrance looked around, but they didn't even see a single light.
"Then... are there any kerosene lamps?" Someone tentatively asked, "Or candles are also fine."
"No." Aunt Xue replied.
The crowd fell silent, gradually feeling an unspeakable strangeness.
One person did not give up, and continued: "Then what does this inn have?"
The woman didn't speak any more, and the fly swatter tapped lightly on the counter.
Everyone looked at each other, each took the key, and went back to the room silently.
At six o'clock in the evening, I couldn't see my fingers in the wooden house.
The corridor was too dark, Gu Meng stumbled when leaving the room, but fortunately Enjin picked him up in time to avoid falling out.
"It's so dark, it's hard to move around." Gu Meng grasped Enjin's coat cuffs, and groped along behind the man, "This wooden house doesn't seem to be powered on, I'll go to the kitchen later and see if I can find a place to boil water .”
Tang Zhi was thoughtful, and said to himself: "It's understandable that the electricity is not connected, but I always feel that something is missing."
While talking, a few people walked around the stairs to the dining room. There was a faint light inside. When they walked in, they found four flashlights on the table.
There is a long table in the dining room with exactly twenty seats, and twenty pairs of bowls and chopsticks are placed on the table.
After the four of Gu Meng arrived, they were all there.
"Where did you get the flashlight?" Bo Ye asked after sitting down.
"Brother Ruan took us to find them on the plane." Wang Xiaochi remembered the few men who left the group without authorization in the afternoon, feeling disgusted in his heart, and his tone was not very good, "If everyone ran away without a trace, we might not be able to find them. "
Bo Ye could hear the sarcasm in his words, but in his eyes, Wang Xiaochi was a straightforward kid, he didn't care too much, smiled lightly, and said perfunctorily: "You've worked hard, you've worked hard, if you have wine later, Here is a toast to you, after all labor is the most glorious."
Wang Xiaochi choked for a moment. He had never seen such a thick-skinned person, so he was not easy to deal with.
While speaking, the sound of footsteps stepping on the wooden board "creaking and creaking" came, heavy and slow.
Everyone turned their attention to the entrance of the restaurant.
Aunt Xue held a huge dinner plate in each hand, with a silver arc-shaped lid on the plate, and walked in lifelessly.
Someone couldn't wait to knock on the bowl: "Miss Boss, thank you, there are also food treats, I'm really embarrassed."
There was a silly and sweet girl named Fan Weiwei, who smiled innocently: "Wow, I'm really looking forward to it, the food here must be original food."
Aunt Xue put down a stainless steel dinner plate with the same diameter as the width of the table at one end of the long table, then shuffled to the other side and put down the dinner plate at the other end of the long table.
"This shop only has this, use it slowly."
He didn't look at the players at the table from the beginning to the end, and walked out lifelessly.
"Let's see, what kind of delicious food is served here." The flat-headed man called Lei Li, with an impatient personality, was the first to stand up, holding the silver plate cover in both hands, and wanted to open it, "Don't be all vegetables and wild fruits. , I don't eat those."
As soon as the lid was lifted, there were piles of hilly things on the plate. Because of the dim light, it could only be seen that it was black and soft, and some bright yellow spots could be vaguely seen among them.
"What is this?" Lei Li bent down and approached, "It's all bone..."
On the opposite side, one person An couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he grabbed a flashlight on one side and directly shone it: "Could it be mulberries?"
As soon as the light shone on the dinner plate, the pile of hill-like things became active, and things fell down the edge in a flurry.
The cover in Lei Li's hand fell to the ground, making an ear-piercing crash.
"Ah-"
Fan Weiwei screamed unbearably, and pushed the edge of the table to stay away, but the chair overturned and fell to the ground.
Everyone's faces changed suddenly, and the restaurant immediately became a mess, and the sound of chairs rubbing against the wooden floor rang out.
"Damn it! Black caterpillar with thorns, so disgusting!"
"I just said that there is no such good thing, it is really fraudulent."
"Fuck! I've suffered from trypophobia."
Those with strong psychological quality cursed and cursed, while those who were weak were scared to tears.
Gu Meng sat in the middle of the table, not too close, but when he saw hundreds of black caterpillars piled up on the dinner plate, his face turned pale instantly and his stomach felt nauseous.
He is naturally afraid of molluscs.
Those caterpillars were all black and shiny, with yellow stripes on their backs, and black thorns on the stripes. When illuminated by the light, their soft and fleshy bodies struggled to wriggle on the table, and some even jumped. Standing several inches high, some squirmed their thin legs and fled in all directions, at a speed comparable to that of cockroaches.
A few caterpillars were wriggling towards the middle of the table. Gu Meng was about to stand up, but when she lowered her head, she found some black caterpillars wriggling around her feet. She was so frightened that she quickly put away her long legs. The tall man of 1.8 meters moved swiftly. Squat down on the chair.
shivering.
Although Enjin is not afraid of these things, it doesn't mean she likes them. When she stands up, she wants to stay away from the dining table. From the corner of her eye, she sees that Gu Meng is motionless.
"What's wrong?"
he asks.
Gu Meng squatted sideways on the chair, hugged the back of the chair with both hands, her eyes were red and water-colored, her ruddy lips were biting, her jade-like gentle face looked pitiful.
Eun Jin stared at him, silent.
Some people usually don't look special, but when they are vulnerable, they are special... not abusive.
Still tempting.
Enjin's always clear eyes are now dark and bottomless, and his aura has also undergone subtle changes. If a shadow can reflect a person's soul, then in the shadow of him on the wall at this moment, a pair of demons The horns are slowly growing.
He took a small step forward, bent down, and hugged Gu Meng directly by the waist.
"I hug you, it's okay."
The voice was as soft as snow, almost whispering in Gu Meng's ear.
Gu Meng was not hypocritical, she hugged Enjin's neck tightly, turned her face, and looked back nervously. There were black spotted caterpillars crawling everywhere, so dense that it made the scalp tense.
"Quick, quick, go out first!"
He patted Enjin on the shoulder, his calf unconsciously swayed up and down, and urged.
At this moment, the restaurant was already full of noise, so when Bo Ye got up, he picked up the nearest flashlight and shined it on the bugs on the table.
The caterpillars exposed to the light reacted extremely violently, twisting their bodies into various strange postures, jumping desperately towards the periphery of the aperture.
At this time, Wang Xiaochi on the opposite side lifted the lid of another dinner plate. Before people could see clearly, the pile of hills inside collapsed, hundreds of colorful soft worms poured out, and the screams in the restaurant became louder.
"Fuck!" Bo Ye frowned, shone the beam of light on Wang Xiaochi, and cursed, "Is there something wrong with your brain?"
"I thought..." Wang Xiaochi raised his head stupidly, a little innocently, "I thought that if the other plate was a trap, then this plate is for food."
Bo Ye nodded, probably feeling that the child was hopeless, and said, "High protein, pure natural, you can do whatever you want."
Then he dragged Tang Zhi away, took advantage of the chaos and took a flashlight.
After dinner was not finished, everyone found Ruan Chushui, and put all the simple meals on the plane in his room.
Everyone gathers in the lobby on the second floor.
It was already seven o'clock at this time, and there was a sudden wind and rain outside, and the weather changed very suddenly.
The rain hit the roof of the wooden house, making a unique sound, which continued continuously. The players were hungry, and the temperature dropped suddenly due to the rain at night. When they were cold and hungry, listening to the sound of rain outside the house made them feel inexplicably irritable. .
Ruan Chushui compared a piece of paper, stood in the center, and reported one by one: "We are now 20 players. A total of 30 light meals, 40 packs of 26g nuts, and 10 boxes of cream cakes were found on the plane. If consumed according to normal conditions, These are only two days' worth, but we will last seven days on these foods, so each meal must be strictly controlled."
While he was talking, Wang Xiaochi and Luo Ting handed out small bags of nuts.
A man shook the small bag of packaging, incredulous: "Is there just such a small bag of nuts for one person tonight?"
"No." Ruan Chushui shook his head and said, "One bag for two."
Sure enough, after Luo Ting and Wang Xiaochi finished distributing ten packages, they stopped distributing them.
There was immediate commotion among the crowd.
"So harsh? Is it necessary?"
"Otherwise, you divide up all the food and distribute it to everyone in advance, so you don't have to bother later."
"Although it is in the wilderness, there is no other food if there is no limit. I don't think it is necessary to save so much."
"You won't eat alone at night, will you?"
The last sentence was a sharp question. As soon as the voice fell, the crowd fell silent. Although most people didn't say anything, their eyes showed suspicion. In an environment where the competition for survival is fierce, it's hard not to be vigilant to others.
"How do you talk!"
Wang Xiaochi was the first to stand up to complain, but was stopped by Ruan Chushui.
Ruan Chushui looked at Lei Li, kept his friendly face, and only uttered two words: "No."
"People are selected by you, and you are suspicious when you are selected, why is it so difficult to serve?" Bo Ye sat lazily on the wooden bench, gave the nuts to Tang Zhi, put down his crossed long legs, stood up, "Centralized management is the best way. At least it is fair. Everyone gets the same amount in the end. There will be no situation of plundering each other's supplies. Don't think too much. Give some basic respect and trust, and go back to sleep early. , save your energy."
After speaking, he took out the flashlight and turned it on, took a look around, and said, "Who lives on the first floor? I can take it down together."
A glass skylight was opened on the roof of the inn, and some gloomy moonlight leaked in, but the place without windows was pitch black.
There are four flashlights in the team, and every five people share one. The four of Bo Ye and the others live in one room, and he holds them. Naturally, no one has any objections.
Although most people are dissatisfied with only eating a few nuts a night, they know that this is not Ruan Chushui's intention to embarrass everyone. From a long-term perspective, such a diet is necessary, so they grumbled a few words, and some people followed Bo Ye. went downstairs.
"Hey, I didn't expect that person to be disobedient, but he is a sensible person." After everyone left, Wang Xiaochi said happily to Ruan Chushui.
It refers to Bo Ye.
Ruan Chushui frowned slightly, and reprimanded slightly: "Don't keep talking about me, no one can control anyone here."
Wang Xiaochi knew that he said the wrong thing, but he was not fooled by him, so he smiled: "Brother Ruan, I let you take care of me."
After finishing speaking, he went back to his room in the dark and left the flashlight to Ruan Chushui.
The moonlight shines through the skylight on the top, reflecting a hazy moonlight on the stairs. Ruan Chushui stands in the light and shadow and meditates.
"Sensible..." He repeated lazily, "Don't obey."
After returning to the room, Gu Meng and En Jin shared the small bag of nuts.
There are four single beds in the room, and Gu Meng sleeps on the innermost bed, which is near the window.
He faced the window and took a rough look at the moonlight outside. There were five cashew nuts, two walnuts, two macadamia nuts, and an unknown nut in the packaging bag. It's annoying.
"Be patient, it's only seven days." He opened the bag, poured a little more than half of it into Enjin's palm, and comforted him, "I'll cook something delicious for you after I go out, such as jasper shrimp, squirrel mandarin fish, sweet and sour short ribs , Beef Tenderloin with Spicy Pepper…”
Just as Gu Meng was about to talk, Tang Zhi couldn't bear it at first, and his clear voice contained accusations: "Mr. Gu, please stop talking. It's too much to report the name of the dish at this time!"
Gu Meng stuck out her tongue and silenced her voice cooperatively.
Enjin saw that he had rolled up the packaging bag again, stuffed it into his jacket pocket, and asked, "Aren't you going to eat it?"
Gu Meng propped her hands back on the bed, and said indifferently: "I saw so many caterpillars in one night, and I still feel sick and can't eat them."
Enjin glanced at the nuts in her hand, without even thinking about it, she twisted one and stuffed it into Gu Meng's mouth.
Gu Meng was caught off guard, with a cashew nut in her mouth, she looked at Enjin slightly in astonishment.
The man ate one by himself as if nothing had happened, and gave him the next one.
Knowing that she was seen through, she was a little embarrassed, her face was hot, but she didn't refuse Enjin's feeding.
After crushing the nuts, the mellow aroma of the fruit wood overflowed her lips and teeth. Gu Meng looked at Ye Yu outside the window, chewed carefully, and slowly realized. too bad.
Because there was no light in the room, we couldn't do other things at night, so we went to bed early.
Bo Ye slept on the bed near the door, waited for about a quarter of an hour, guessing that the other two had fallen asleep, then turned over and faced Tang Zhi's direction, and softly called: "Candi."
Tang Zhi was very well-behaved when he slept alone, face up, with his hands folded on his chest, through the moonlight leaking in from the window, he could clearly see the shadow of his side face, with delicate lines, like a boy drawn in a cartoon.
Bo Ye called again: "Candi?"
Tang Zhi wanted to pretend to be asleep, but seeing him persevering, he turned his face to look at him helplessly: "Why?"
"Is it cold?" Bo Ye asked, plotting something wrong.
Tang Zhi knew his tricks well, and replied, "It's not cold."
Bo Ye got up, climbed onto the bed, and said as if he didn't hear, "What a coincidence, I'm cold too."
Tang Zhi pursed his lips, and symbolically pushed the man under his quilt twice. Afraid of waking Enjin and Gu Meng on his right, he lowered his voice, "Bo Ye, get down! This is a single bed."
"It doesn't matter." Bo Ye relaxed his strength, pulled him into his arms, and laughed in a deep voice, "I can sleep on you, or you can ride me to sleep, it doesn't take up any space at all."
Tang Zhi was held in the arms of the man, but he couldn't resist his rascal, so he raised his head and bit his Adam's apple in disbelief: "You can't be more honest!"
Bo Ye suppressed his smile, lowered his eyelids slightly to look at him, his eyes were shining brightly in the dark night, and said, "Who is being dishonest now? Hmm?"
Tang Zhi blushed, seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be going to sleep.
"Candi." Bo Ye blew into his ear, his deliberately low voice was soft and flirtatious, "The junior high school physics teacher said that friction generates heat, do you want to try it?"
Tang Zhi burrowed into his arms, pretending not to hear.
Under the quilt, Bo Ye held his slender and tender hands and reached down, coquettishly said: "Candi Gege, I'm cold now, please help me warm up."
Candi opened her eyes, her eyes glistened with water, biting the collar of her jacket, she was so ashamed that she was about to cry, and her milky voice was suppressed: "Bo Ye, where's your face?"
"No more."
Bo Ye cut it cleanly, raised the quilt, moved forward, and adjusted the position.
The two lay in the quilt and kissed again and again, and their condition gradually improved.
Suddenly, a soft voice came from the next bed: "Don't drive."
"!!!"
"!!!"
Bo Ye and Tang Zhi froze, and opened their eyes at the same time.
On the bed next door, the wooden bed board made vicissitudes of life, Enjin slowly turned her back to the couple, and sighed quietly: "I can't keep up with my nutrition recently, don't drive."
Tang Zhi: "..."
"..."
Bo Ye took a deep breath, and silently zipped up his pants.
