Bai Lixin and Xia Chi stepped into the courtyard and could hear the fierce quarrel inside through the windows.

Bai Lixin signaled Xia Chi to throw the unconscious monster into the yard. The two of them went in one after another, and found that the atmosphere inside was even more tense than during the day.

Liang Xi, who was supposed to be taking care of the patient, also appeared here. Everyone's face was cold and their expressions were very solemn.

And among them, there is another person who shouldn't be here.

Grandma Sang.

Grandma Sang was tied up with hemp ropes and thrown to the ground. Her expression was dazed, her eyes were cloudy, and she kept mumbling: "I'm here to collect the body, I'm here to collect the body."

"After collecting so many corpses, why is there no treasure of mine?"

"Bao'er, where are you?"

The other players stared at Granny Sang warily, their faces unable to hide their anger.

"This npc is sneaky, there must be something wrong!"

"Fuck, I was almost scared to death by her just now,"

"This ghost keeps talking all day long and has a dead face. I think there must be something wrong with it!"

"Two female players died as soon as she came. Couldn't those two female players be killed by her?"

"It's very possible that she is the only female NPC in the village. Isn't this strange?"

"She must know something!"

“But I can’t ask anything except ‘Bao’er’!”

Bai Lixin glanced at Liang Xi, and then received a private message.

[Friend Liang Xi applied to establish a discussion group. Agree/reject]

Bai Lixin clicked [Agree], and a discussion group suddenly appeared in the chat window. There were four people in the discussion group including him.

Liang Xi, Bai Lixin, Zhou Guang and Xia Chi.

Liang Xi: [Let me explain the situation. You have also received the system prompt, right? Two more people died just now. They were the two female players with fever. Li Cancan was still breathing. 】

[The thin man went out to urinate just now. When he looked up, he saw Granny Sang standing in front of him, which shocked him. 】

[Perhaps everyone was driven crazy by this game, so he kidnapped Granny Sang in anger. I heard the sound and thought someone was injured, so I rushed over. Li Cancan was still being looked after by Zhou Guang.

Xia Chi said nothing, but his forbearing expression betrayed him.

When I left, I was still alive, but when I came back, two more people were dead.

If it could be faster, maybe...

Bai Lixin: [Did Granny Sang come here to collect the corpse?]

Liang Xi: [Yes, that charity shop was opened by her family, and she also fished out the corpses floating in the river before. 】

Xia Chi stuffed a cloth bag into Liang Xi's arms: [The herbs are here, go and save Sister Cancan.]

Liang Xi took the herb and took a look at it, and exclaimed in surprise, "That's right, this is it. I'll save people first!"

After that, he opened the door and left without looking back.

Xia Chi seemed to have remembered something and was about to remind Liang Xi. Unexpectedly, Liang Xi moved faster and had already opened the door and stepped out.

The next second, Liang Xi came back with a pale face.

He pointed to the yard with a look of horror on his face, his lips trembling up and down, and his voice trembling at the end: "Outside, there is a monster outside, yesterday's monster."

In an instant, all the curses disappeared.

The faces of the players who were angry just now were instantly replaced by fear, and they had no time to worry about Granny Sang. A few of them bravely walked to the door, peeked out through the crack of the door, and saw a monster crawling on the ground.

.

From them, they could only see the ups and downs of the monster's belly. The monster was lying on its back, exposing its white belly.

"Why, why is there a monster here?"

"Can't monsters go down the mountain?"

"Does this game allow people to live? I want to go back, please let me go!"

Xia Chi patted Liang Xi's shoulder reassuringly and said with a dry smile: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Brother Xin and I got this from the mountain. We have beaten him unconscious and tied him up. There is no danger."

Xia Chi licked his lips: "I've already gone there, I can't go in vain."

Everyone: "..."

Are these two people planning to let monsters come to eat at the buffet?

The culprit, Bai Lixin, quickly came to Granny Sang when others were not paying attention, and said something in Granny Sang's ear.

Grandma Sang, whose eyes were cloudy, raised her head in surprise: "Really?"

Bai Lixin nodded: "Yes."

Granny Sang raised the corner of her mouth. Her face seemed to be separated from her flesh. The flesh was pulled up by her, and her face still hung on it, forming a strange smile: "Hee hee, okay, then it's settled.

"

She said and suddenly stood up from the ground.

When the other players heard the sound, they all turned around and watched with blank faces as Granny Sang twisted a few times in the rope in an extremely twisted posture and easily broke free of the rope.

The nimble little old lady walked to the window without restraint, opened the window and climbed over the window into the yard.

It may be due to the foot binding. Her feet are very small, but the rapid friction of her two feet on the ground actually made Xiao Suibu have the explosive effect of walking.

Grandma Sang rushed into a room at a very fast speed and came out again not long after.

After she came out, there were already two stiff figures on her shoulders, one on each shoulder.

Each of these two figures was taller than her, but she carried them as easily as two balls of cotton.

Before leaving, the little old lady didn't forget to kick the unconscious monster, and then she melted into the darkness and disappeared.

In the darkness, there was a faint sound of Granny Sang's hoarse laughter, "There is a three-year deadline to sacrifice the bride. Otherwise, the flood will occur. Please remember to prepare sacrifices."

In the room that opened, Zhou Guang had a dull face.

The bald man glared at Priscina: "What did you just say to her?!"

Bai Lixin ignored him and just strode to Liang Xi, grabbed Liang Xi's wrist and said, "Let's go and save Li Cancan."

Xia Chi quickly followed Bai Lixin: "Brother Xin, I'm going too!"

After the three people left one after another, everyone looked at each other in shock.

One of the players said cautiously: "Is the sacrifice that the old woman was talking about just now the female player? If the female player can survive..."

This player only said half of what he said, but other players already understood what he meant.

If the female player can survive, can she be sacrificed to the river god as a bride?

Maybe this is the real solution to this copy?

Otherwise, why did you make the female players sick at the beginning? And why did you tell them that there are antipyretic herbs in the cave?

Isn't such an obvious obstacle just to tell them that rescuing female players is equivalent to rescuing themselves?

This game is not unsolvable, and the rules are reminded of them from the beginning.

Sacrificing a pure girl can appease the anger of the river god, and the flood will not come!

Many people can't help but feel scared for a while.

They had to give up on these female players during the day, but luckily Bai Lixin and the others didn't give up.

If Bai Lixin also gives up and these female players die, then they are all finished!

There was a cold look in the blacksmith's eyes, "I'm just wondering why they care so much about the lives of these female players. I'm afraid they have thought of this a long time ago but didn't tell us."

Bald Head: "Isn't it possible? What's the point of them keeping the information private? If he told us the information, wouldn't it be safer if we go up the mountain together?"

Blacksmith: "Have you forgotten the rules of the game? Points are allocated according to performance ratings. They are the ones who go up the mountain to get medicine, and they are the ones who save people. They have done all the good things. In the end, their ratings will definitely be higher than ours. Even if they survive

, they eat meat and we drink soup.”

A player wearing glasses hesitated for a moment: "That pretty boy named Bai Lixin, don't you think it's evil? I stayed in the mountain for 20 hours, and all the monsters chasing us left. Shouldn't normal people do that?"

Are you going down the mountain right away? Why can he stay so long?"

"And look, the pretty boy secretly said something to Granny Sang just now, and Granny Sang, a necrophiliac, ran away with the body in her arms. Did this pretty boy find clues about Bao'er and trigger Granny Sang's plot line?"

The blacksmith gritted his teeth: "They never planned to take us to play from the beginning."

Huang Mao glanced at the blacksmith: "Boss, didn't you say before that there was a way? What way?"

The blacksmith took a deep breath: "I figured it out after seeing the time difference in the game after dark. The condition for passing the level is to sacrifice the female player. That's why I said that they must bring the medicine back alive in order to complete this plan. But

What I didn’t expect was that the other party had already thought of this.”

"Fuck, these gangsters have been playing tricks on me from the beginning."

Huang Mao's face changed: "Then what should we do next? Have we reached a dead end?"

The blacksmith's voice was deep: "It's just that the points gained are a little less. Since they have saved the female player, they will definitely sacrifice themselves in order to survive. Don't worry, we will be fine this way."

The thin man slapped his forehead: "Yes, yes, the boss is right."

Game live broadcast room.

[Oh my god, this is the first time I’ve seen someone talk about “picking up leaks” in such a high-sounding way.]

【This is also the first time I have seen such a shameless person.】

[If Baili Xin hadn’t attracted all the red spiders last night, would they still be alive to go down the mountain? It’s funny. They also questioned why Baili Xin didn’t go down the mountain. Nonsense, because your father Baili is causing hatred for you.

Throw coins.]

[No matter what you do, you are the first to be the laggard! They are the ones who refused to go up the mountain, and now they are the ones who are criticizing others. 】

[Speaking of which, on the mountain just now, why were those monsters afraid of Bai Lixin? 】

[I don’t know, maybe I’m afraid of those herbs? We also picked herbs at that time, but we did it during the day and didn’t encounter any monsters.]

[Old player, what’s in that cave? 】

[There is a round hole, some herbs grow in the hole, some crystal stones on the wall, but nothing else.]

[Have you solved the additional questions? 】

[Our group is quite united. We divided the work and worked together to find all the clues we should look for. We also talked to all the NPCs. But we only solved 70%, and the remaining 30% cannot be solved no matter what.

[Why am I more nervous watching the live broadcast than when I go through the level in person? 】

[Me too, it’s so exciting. Yesterday was the first time I saw someone being so cool while being chased by so many red spiders.]

At the other end of the room, Liang Xi quickly mashed the herbs into a puree. He wrapped the puree in gauze and squeezed the juice into a small bowl.

After a while, the small bowl was filled with half a bowl of dark green juice.

Because Li Cancan had fainted from the fever and could not drink any water, Liang Xi could only pry open her mouth with his hands and use chopsticks to carefully put the herbs into her throat bit by bit.

There wasn't much concoction, and Liang Xi was afraid of wasting it, so he ordered the medicine slowly and slowly.

It took Liang Xi half an hour to finish feeding half a small bowl of herbs.

Priscilla watched carefully from the side.

Not long after taking the concoction, the blush on Li Cancan's face began to fade at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Liang Xi quickly touched her forehead, and after making sure the fever was gone, he breathed a long sigh of relief and slumped on the ground, "Great, we caught up and finally saved her."

Zhou Guang said to Liang Xi: "You should sleep for a while. You have been taking care of them since last night without rest. You will be forced to work tomorrow morning. You can't stand it."

Liang Xi's eyelids were already fighting. He rolled around on the floor and dozed off without taking off his clothes.

Seeing this, Zhou Guang sat cross-legged on the floor, "Bai Lixin, what did you just say to that Granny Sang?"

He had woken up from the shock to the little old lady just now. He was taking care of Li Cancan when Granny Sang suddenly rushed in like lightning, picked up the two corpses and ran away without saying a word.

Although others were not in that room, they generally knew what happened through the group chat.

Liang Xi tried his best to open his eyes, but he had no strength at all. He could only lie down and weakly speak: "I want to know too."

Bai Lixin: "Actually, it's nothing. I told her that I found Bao'er's whereabouts and asked her to come to us tomorrow afternoon."

"Let's exchange information. There are two ways to solve this task. The first is to complete the sacrifice to the River God, and the second is to lift the curse of the River God."

His voice no longer had the usual laziness, but instead had a bit of coldness: "Obviously, sacrificing the bride is the easiest way. But you should also know what it means. I'll leave it here first.

I will choose the second one, to lift the curse of the river god. There is no special reason, I just don’t like this game and don’t want to be led by it.”

"If any of you want to take the shortcut of sacrifice and choose to sacrifice one person to save others, you can leave this room now."

The deep black eyes swept through everyone one by one, and everyone looked stern. Even Liang Xi, who had been invaded by sleep just now, became more awake.

Liang Xi: "I choose the second option. We finally rescued Li Cancan, how could we let her be sacrificed? I can't even bear to kill Fluffy, okay?"

Zhou Guang: "Me too. I am a lawyer. In my opinion, human life is not only important, but also equally important. One life and countless lives are equivalent at both ends of the scale."

Xia Chi: "I don't have to ask, of course I choose to follow you. If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would have survived here. And I am so smart, I will definitely be able to break the curse of the river god."

After getting everyone's answers, Bailixin continued: "If you want to lift the curse of the River God, you must first know the truth about the curse of the River God. The additional tasks are the most important. How many of your additional tasks have you completed?

"

Zhou Guang looked around: "Let me say it first, I completed 10%. I got it through chatting with the NPC who supervised our work during the day. Although it is forced work, forced work will provide us with information."

"We learned from their messages that Bao'er was attracted by the River God thirty years ago, so she was sacrificed to the River God as a bride. She was the first River God bride. Later, it was said that the River God was dissatisfied with this bride.

If you are satisfied, there will be a curse from the river god, which requires a pure bride to be sacrificed every three years."

Xia Chi nodded: "Yes, I was working in the fields at the time and got the same information as you."

Liang Xi: "I have also completed 10%. My mandatory task is to see a doctor. During the day today, several villagers NPC came to see a doctor. One of them seemed to be Granny Sang's former neighbor. I heard from him that Bao'er came from Shiliba Village.

She is a famous beauty, but her behavior is not very discreet. She seems to have a sweetheart, but it is not clear who the sweetheart is."

Bai Lixin looked at Liang Xi: "Wait a minute, do you have a pen and paper? I'll take notes."

Liang Xi's eyelids were a little heavy, but he still tried his best to point to a box, "Yes, there are writing brushes and rice paper for prescribing medicine."

Bai Lixin quickly took out the pen and paper from where Liang Xi was pointing, flattened the paper, held the brush in his right hand and began to record.

Several people looked over curiously. Baili Xin Yubai's slender fingers held the hair of the wolf and wrote a line of words with a wandering pen.

The writing style is elegant, and the handwriting is like a dragon playing with a phoenix, vigorous and free.

Xia Chi once studied calligraphy. When he saw it, he couldn't help but admire, "Brother, your calligraphy is excellent, master level... no, more master than the master. You can't be like this without decades of practice. Brother, you are better than me."

How old are you? What other surprises do you have?!"

Bai Lixin laughed and said, "I'm older than you."

I'm so big, you can't imagine it, Zaizai.

In order to facilitate statistics, he did not write vertically according to the custom of calligraphy, but chose to write horizontally.

1. Grandma Sang is Baoer’s grandmother.

2. Baoer died 30 years ago, and his tombstone is on the mountain.

3. Bao'er was the first bride of the River God. She was sacrificed to the River God 30 years ago, but she aroused the River God's anger.

4. Baoer has an unknown lover.

Prissy paused.

Wrote 5 again.

5. Baoer looks very beautiful.

Everyone: "..."

If you really don’t know what to write, you can leave it blank first.

Zhou Guang pointed to the second item, "Did you just see this on the mountain?"

Xia Chi seemed to remember something, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and opened the photos taken in the evening.

"Fortunately, I brought my mobile phone," Xia Chi quickly tapped the touch screen twice and opened the photo album, "This is what I took at that time."

Liang Xi woke up completely. He and Zhou Guang came over to take a look and saw a small earth bag and a tombstone.

Xia Chi's cell phone only had 1 bar of battery left, and it was flashing a red light to indicate that it should be charged quickly.

But this remote village doesn’t even have a universal charger, not to mention supporting data cables and chargers. The only communication device is the landline at the head of the village, which has been shut down due to long-term arrears.

"My mobile phone is about to run out of battery. Which of you two still has battery? Take a photo and save it. If you see Granny Sang, it can be used as evidence, lest she think we are lying to her."

Liang Xi and Zhou Guang took out their mobile phones from their arms.

Liang Xi looked at Xia Chi apologetically: "Sorry, I got excited when I was going down the mountain and jumped into the water to swim over. My phone was soaked in water."

Zhou Guang unlocked the phone: "I still have 50% battery, and I can still use it."

The two people's mobile phone signals still showed "x", but now they no longer had the naive idea of ​​finding a signal to call the police.

Simply put, a smartphone has full functions. Although it loses the function of making calls, other functions are sufficient.

Because there was no signal, Zhou Guang gave up Bluetooth and directly chose the simplest and crudest method.

Take photos from a distance.

He placed the camera on Xia Chi's phone and took two or three pictures. Because the picture on Xia Chi's phone was a bit dark, Zhou Guang's phone automatically turned on the flash function.

There were three sounds of "click", "click" and "click", and the flash light came on three times.

After taking the photo, Zhou Guang took the photo and looked at it.

In Baili Xin's mind, a system prompt suddenly sounded.

[Ding! Congratulations to the players, the information exchange has been completed. The truth about the curse of the river god has been completed: 30%/100%.]

He glanced at the other people and found that their expressions paused for a second. It seemed that they had all received system prompts.

Xia Chi: "I'm 30%."

Liang Xi: "Me too."

Zhou Guang casually answered while looking at the photos on his mobile phone: "It seems that everyone is the same. The NPCs should provide clues when they are forced to work during the day tomorrow. Everyone should listen carefully. Bailixin, your profession is a saint.

It's different from ours. According to the current view, the clues provided by different professions should be different. You should pay more attention tomorrow."

Bai Lixin nodded: "Okay."

Liang Xi stood up and took a look at Li Cancan's condition, "Li Cancan's face was sweating a lot."

Bai Lixin looked sideways and saw Liang Xi picking up a towel and wiping the sweat off Li Cancan's face.

After he finished doing this, he put his hands back on the floor and said hesitantly, "If different professions receive different clues, then do we have to provide clues to the players next door? I remember there is a blacksmith next door."

Xia Chi looked at Bai Lixin with a confused expression: "Brother, what do you think?"

Zhou Guang said first: "Let's forget it. It would be nice if these people didn't hold us back. Do you still want to get useful information from them?"

"I agree with Zhou Guang's view."

Baili Xin went over to take a look at Li Cancan's situation. Her breathing had calmed down and her expression was very peaceful. "I don't trust those people. I can lead them through the customs, but I refuse to let them become comrades. I will not treat them as comrades."

Give your back to those who don’t trust you.”

"I'm going to get some food for Li Cancan. She should be leaving soon." Zhou Guang stood up and walked to the door. "There are many ways to get information. If you know who the NPC is supervising him, you should be able to get it through talking. Otherwise

If the blacksmith died on the mountain at that time, wouldn't that mean that the entire clue was lost? This is unreasonable."

Liang Xi suddenly realized: "That's right."

Bai Lixin watched Zhou Guang open the door and walk out, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He turned to Liang Xi and asked, "Doctor Liang, I remember you are a veterinarian."

Liang Xi didn't know why, but still nodded, "Yes."

Priscilla: "Then you must like furries very much."

Liang Xi's eyes gradually became gentle: "Of course, my favorite thing is that rua is furry."

Bai Lixin patted Xia Chi on the shoulder.

Xia Chi turned his head in confusion: "???"

Priscilla pointed to the yard: "Bring that furry little guy in."

Xia Chi: "?!"

Liang Xi was stunned for three seconds, then suddenly stood up from the ground.

Baili Xin smiled at Liang Xi: "It's furry, it's okay~"

Liang Xi: “?!!!”

Damn it, I don’t like this furry stuff!

And are you devils?! Can such a terrifying thing be caught just by catching it?!

Bai Lixin: "I also caught one yesterday. I originally wanted to let it go and see where their nest is, but I didn't expect that it turned into blood as soon as the sun was exposed. Today, this one needs to be protected and cannot be let out again.

broken."

Liang Xi swallowed.

I also caught one? Turned into water? Protected? Broken?

Listen, what kind of dangerous statement is this?!

Is this what people say?!

Just when Liang Xi was almost stunned, Zhou Guang ran back in panic not long after he walked out.

As soon as he came back, he closed the door hard and pointed his cell phone directly in front of the three of them, "Look, there is a figure here!"

Zhou Guang used flash and took the photo through an LCD screen. The photo he took not only reflects light but also contains many red and green pixel strips.

Once the flash and pixel strips are turned on, the otherwise generally black picture has a different kind of clarity.

Zhou Guang had enlarged the photo, and the three of them looked over and saw a blurry human face sneaking behind a tree.

Liang Xi stared at the face carefully for a while, "I have seen him before, he is the village chief of this Heshen Village!"
