Feng Jiao's words made the atmosphere of the restaurant a bit weird.
Fatty Zhou was the first to react, "Why? I got up early this morning. When I got up, the doors in the yard were not opened, and all the houses were closed. If he went out, I should Just be able to find it.”
"But there is no one in Shuai Shuai's room. I, I already agreed to go out with him last night, so I wanted to call him over for dinner this morning, but it all came to nothing." Feng Jiao's expression was a little aggrieved, but Inadvertently indicated that she was not in Xu Shuai's room last night.
Mo Yang frowned, last night before he went to bed he saw Feng Jiao enter Xu Shuai's room, but Xu Shuai suddenly disappeared early this morning. If it was said that his disappearance had nothing to do with Fengjiao, Mo Yang would never believe it. But Feng Mengmeng was nodding her head beside her to prove that her second sister was resting in the house with her last night, which made it impossible for people to say anything that doubted Fengjiao.
At least not on the surface.
"...Let's eat first. After we're done, let's go to the next door and ask Zhang Xiaoyao and Murong Feng to see if there's anything going on with them?"
Mo Yang already had a bad premonition in his heart, but when they went to find Sun Buguai and Zhang Xiaoyao next door after dinner, they got a piece of news that made their faces even worse.
"Ah! Xu Shuai over there is missing? We didn't see Uncle Li when we had dinner this morning, and we thought he was out for a walk alone. What, what happened?" Sun Buguai and Liu Meiren both Some panicked, and the remaining Zhang Xiaoyao and Murong Feng also looked serious.
"Anyway, let's look in the village first. Maybe we can find something?" Chen Yuanyuan was silent all the way, then suddenly spoke at this moment, and finally emphasized: "We'd better act together, don't disperse."
Mo Yang glanced at the female player and nodded.
Then the remaining eight players searched for someone in Fenghuang Village together. The tour guide Zhu Zhu originally planned to take them to several famous scenic spots in Fenghuang Village to see and take pictures this morning, but when she heard that some tourists were missing, she followed them to find them. Feng Ming and Feng Hui also searched with them on behalf of the two villagers. After all, the person was lost in their home.
The total population of Fenghuang Village may only be two to three hundred people. From the east end of the village to the west door, it looks like a long and narrow crescent moon, built along the water. The east end of the village is the entrance of the village. Those two gorgeous phoenix trees are still swaying their branches gently in the breeze. When Mo Yang came under these two big trees the next day, he always felt that these two trees seemed to be bigger than yesterday. When I arrived in the afternoon, I looked more energetic.
Wan Mei walked around the roots of the two trees twice. Murong Feng and Zhang Xiaoyao seemed to think of something when they looked at his actions. They carefully looked around the roots of these two big trees with a little horror on their faces, and finally They breathed a sigh of relief when they didn't find any traces of soil being excavated under the two tree roots. I felt like I was thinking too much. Murder and burial should not happen in such a beautiful village, right
Then they searched west along the crescent-shaped river from the east entrance of the village. Along the way, they passed a beautiful huge waterwheel, saw stretches of flower fields, and the small nine-bend waterfall in the village. At the villager's house in the west, they didn't find any trace of Xu Shuai and Uncle Li.
"How is this possible? Did they leave the village? Otherwise, how could there be no trace left?" Zhang Xiaoyao frowned.
Zhu Zhu over there shook his head when he heard this: "They probably won't leave the village. There are no other villages or people in this mountain except Fenghuang Village. If they go out, where can they go? We all have to drive. It takes more than ten hours to get here, and it is impossible to get out of the mountains by yourself."
"That's weird! How could two living beings disappear for no reason? Could it be that they were going to play hide-and-seek with us?" Murong Feng questioned in a bad tone. He wanted to say something more, but Chen Yuanyuan's ears moved suddenly: "Stop talking! I seem to hear crying and beating and scolding!!"
After finishing speaking, Chen Yuanyuan took the lead and ran towards one direction, which was a family living a little far away from the west end of the village, next to the flower field. Seeing this, several other people followed without hesitation, but Feng Hui and Feng Ming, who had been following them, looked in that direction and frowned.
"Is Xiaoxiao still unwilling to give up? Just because of a man, does she want to be thrown into captivity?"
"Who made that man look good? But if she continues to make trouble like this, it will be over. Since you don't want to be separated from that man, let's go to the captivity together, and you can make some contributions to the people in the village, right?"
When Chen Yuanyuan and the others ran over, the quarrels and beatings in the house were still going on.
Chen Yuanyuan wanted to rush in to ask questions, but Liu Meiren and Sun Buguai held her back and covered her mouth.
"Don't get excited, let's listen to the movement first!"
Then, everyone heard angry curses from inside the house.
"Feng Xiaoxiao!! Do you really don't want your face and this life anymore?! We worked so hard to bring you up, not for you to stick around like this and lose money!! That's a Are you a man?! Looking at you now, it’s almost impossible to look directly at you. Do you still think about it?! Do you want to circle, "
The angry voice suddenly rose to the extreme as if she was about to blurt out something, but she stopped it abruptly, so that everyone who listened felt depressed for her.
Then the door of the house was suddenly opened, and a handsome middle-aged man came out with a dangerous expression: "What's the matter with you? Why are you standing in front of our house?"
Murong Feng immediately showed a smiling face, "Uncle, don't be angry, we are tourists here. But because we found two companions missing this morning, we couldn't help but look for them in the village. I found you here Yes, we seem to have heard crying, is there nothing wrong at home?"
After the middle-aged man heard that they were tourists, his somewhat sinister eyes skipped over Murong Feng's face, paused when he saw Wan Mei, and finally fixed on Mo Yang's face. Then, his expression visibly changed from indifference to enthusiasm.
"It's okay, it's just that the mother-in-law and the girl quarreled. The little girl in my family didn't live up to it. She had a big sore on her face. My mother-in-law wanted her to treat her, but she refused. Why don't you just talk and talk about it?" Is it on fire? Since you are guests, do you want to come to my house and have a sit? Although the little girl has a bad face now, she has a good cooking skill, and the food she cooks is extremely delicious!"
When the man said this, he looked at Mo Yang, as if he really wanted Mo Yang to come into their house. But Mo Yang felt that his smile was full of some indescribable awkwardness. At this time, the cursing in the room had stopped, and a head suddenly appeared by the window, Mo Yang was shocked when he saw her.
"Uh, although I really want to try the little girl's handicrafts, but now we are looking for companions, it is not suitable to visit your house. Well, but we are not very familiar with this place, we can let the little girl take us again Do you want to take a walk around the village?"
Hearing what Mo Yang said, the man was a little disappointed at first, and then nodded happily: "It's a small blessing to be able to act with the guests, of course I can. Ah, but the face of the little girl is not very good-looking now..."
"It's okay, everyone is sick. How beautiful can it be at that time?"
Mo Yang smiled, and the man took one look at him and retorted directly and firmly: "Well, guest, you must look good even if you are sick."
Mo Yang took a breath.
Zhang Xiaoyao, Murong Feng and the others couldn't help taking a step back. Why does this sound so basic? !
Fortunately, this little girl came out of the house very quickly. The moment she showed up, the players who were used to seeing the handsome men and women in Fenghuang Village couldn't help but gasped again—from the left side of the girl's intact face Judging from it, she should be a beautiful girl who is as delicate and beautiful as Feng Mengmeng. But now there is a palm-sized, sore-like thing on the right side of her face, which directly turns her beauty into an ugly one.
And this young girl obviously felt that she was ugly like this, she quickly glanced at Mo Yang, a look of amazement flashed in her eyes, but in the next second she showed a bit of pity. This look made Mo Yang feel very uncomfortable, but she had already put on a veil that could cover her face.
"...Where do the guests want to go?" Feng Xiaoxiao's voice was a little hoarse.
Zhang Xiaoyao wanted to talk, but suddenly he turned to Feng Hui and Feng Ming behind him and said, "Well, thank you for accompanying us on this journey. Let Xiao Xiao accompany us next. You should have your own affairs to attend to." Do? Zhu Zhu is also, anyway, Fenghuang Village is not big, if we want to take a photo tour, we can walk around by ourselves, you go and rest first. We will find it ourselves before giving up."
Feng Ming and Feng Hui looked at each other, and nodded in agreement without any hesitation. At this time, they didn't have the enthusiasm they had when they greeted them before, and their expressions were very cold throughout the whole process. And Zhu Zhu was not nervous about losing her tourists as a tour guide, she just smiled and said: "Ah, that's fine. I'm tired too. But if you find Xu Shuai and Mr. Li, you must let me know Ah! How can I say that I am also your tour guide!"
Then Zhu Zhu also left.
After the other irrelevant people had left, Zhang Xiaoyao looked at Feng Xiaoxiao, "Little girl, our companion is missing and needs your help, can you help us?"
Feng Xiaoxiao didn't answer right away, she just led the crowd to the flower field slowly, and when she got to the middle of the flower field, she whispered: "I... know another place. But that is the place in our village. Forbidden land, usually no one is allowed to pass by."
Zhang Xiaoyao's eyes lit up immediately: "It's okay! As long as you tell us the location, we'll just take a sneak peek and never do anything else. You,"
"I am willing to take you there tonight, but you have to help me bring a person out from there. I, I can't take him out by myself. Is that okay?" Feng Xiaoxiao added nervously: "If If you don't help me, I, I won't take you there. At that time, you won't be able to get out of that place by yourself."
Everyone looked at each other, obviously understanding that this should mean that the plot was developing. That mysterious place should allow them to discover something. Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, this Feng Xiaoxiao is very likely to be the betrayer of Fenghuang Village. That is the first puzzle-solving condition for customs clearance.
"Little girl, don't worry, we will definitely help you. But, can you tell us the story of Fenghuang Village? Why is your village called Fenghuang Village? It's not a name that ordinary people dare to call." Zhou Ah Asking news on the skin.
Feng Xiaoxiao had a proud smile on her face when she mentioned this. "Of course, this name cannot be called by ordinary people. The reason why our village is called Fenghuang Village is because there is a Phoenix in our village."
"Out of Phoenix?"
"Well, our village was a well-known beauty village thousands of years ago. Both boys and girls born in the village are fairer and more beautiful than those in other neighboring villages. Later, a general passed by here and saw us. There is a beauty in the village. It is said that when the beauty was born, the birds in the forest were flying around her house. The general and the beauty fell in love with each other at first sight, and they got married under the blessing of the villagers. The general I took the beauty and her sister and left together."
"Later, the general was invincible and he became the emperor. The beauty in our village became the queen. The two phoenix trees they planted at the entrance of the village before they left are the symbols of their beautiful and faithful love. The general said that as long as his love with the beauty remains unchanged, the two phoenix trees will never wither. That's why the phoenix tree at the entrance of our village has been lush and green for thousands of years, and the flowers never fade. Since then, our The name of the village was changed to Fenghuang Village. One is for the Phoenix Dance for Nine Heavens, and the other is for the friendship."
Sun Buguai dragged his chin with a sweet smile on his face: "Wow, so this is the reason why the phoenix flower has been undefeated for thousands of years? It's so romantic! I really want to find someone to plant two trees with me Tree! Even if we die in the end, our love will still be envied by future generations."
Feng Xiaoxiao also seemed to have thought of something sweet, her almond eyes curled up: "Well, in fact, as long as you kiss each other under the witness of the phoenix tree at the entrance of the village, or take an oath to protect you, you can get the blessing of those two phoenix trees... In the end, no matter what This kind of love can achieve good results."
Wan Mei put his hands in the pockets of his coat. After reading this story, he turned his head to look at the phoenix tree with gorgeous flowers at the entrance of the village without any fluctuations in his heart, and suddenly asked without thinking: "These two phoenix trees Has it really never withered?"
Feng Xiaoxiao frowned, even though Wan Mei had a face that astonished her, she would not be sympathetic to it. "Of course. The phoenix tree has never withered! Don't say and ask other people about this, or everyone will beat you up when they hear it!"
Wan Mo nodded perfunctorily, and Mo Yang glanced at him, thinking that this person must have discovered something.
"Okay, I've been out for long enough, I can't delay any longer. I'm going home first, and we'll gather in this flower field at midnight tonight. If you want to find a companion, you must Come on, after all, I have stayed in that place for a long time, even if I can come out again, I will not live long."
Feng Xiaoxiao quickly turned around and left after saying this.
Afterwards, Sun Buguai said, "Just now, did Feng Xiaoxiao tell us the reason why the Phoenix Flower has been undefeated for thousands of years? This should be the answer to the third puzzle, right?" Smile: "In this case, this puzzle game doesn't seem too difficult. As long as we can find the key characters, we can get at least two answers, right? Thanks to you, Yuanyuan!"
Chen Yuanyuan smiled embarrassedly when she heard the praise: "It's nothing, I'm just born with better ears. But... is it really that simple? Feng Xiaoxiao took the villagers behind her back to take us to the forbidden area, she should be a traitor Right? Then the phoenix flower does not fall because of the love of the general and the beauty, and we have found the answers to the two puzzles so easily?"
Murong Feng exclaimed: "This is not easy. If there is no Yuanyuan and you hear Feng Xiaoxiao's voice, we won't come here. If we don't have our handsome black dog who looks so good-looking, that middle-aged uncle will not come here." Feng Xiaoxiao will not be allowed to come out for reception, and if Xiaoyao does not let other relevant people leave, Feng Xiaoxiao will not say that there is still a forbidden area. In the end, Zhou Api asked the right question, and we knew that Feng Xiaoxiao The reason why Hua is undefeated. Although the reason is a bit vulgar, it makes sense."
"You see, the process for us to get the answer seems simple, but in fact it is indispensable."
Everyone seemed to be persuaded by Murong Feng, and most of the concerns they had been worrying since morning were relieved. Although this is a bit unkind, but after they have already found out the answers to two puzzles, their worst rating is B grade. For the rest, as long as you ensure yourself to live safely until the end of the game, you will be fine. This Phoenix Village is so small, the game can be over in at most five days.
Even if the trip to the forbidden area tonight may be dangerous, but if it doesn't work, you can still escape on your own protection. So I have to thank the two missing people.
"Okay, everyone go back to rest now! Let's gather in the flower field tonight. After we find the murderer, we can spend the rest of the time playing and dating." Zhang Xiaoyao said so, and everyone smiled. left.
In the end, only Wan Mei, Mo Yang and Zhou Api were left in the flower field.
Mo Yang glanced at Zhou Api, then turned to ask Wan: "What happened to those two phoenix trees?"
Wan did not cast a glance at him, and said calmly: "It's nothing. That is, based on its current growth state and structure, I preliminarily conclude that they have completely withered at least once. And the current state may not be considered complete." live."
Mo Yang narrowed his eyes suddenly. Zhou Api suddenly felt his scalp go numb.
