Game Boss She Comes From Interstellar
Chapter Five Secrets in the Village (5)
After the small episode passed, the young and strong villagers had almost decorated the scene, and the village chief also entered the scene one after another with other elderly people and children.
Seeing that everyone was already seated, the village chief raised his hand to signal An Ran and the others to sit next to him. Seeing that the villagers were almost there, he coughed twice and said, "Everyone, I don't have anything to say. I'm just here to let the ancestors bless the village."
The weather is good and everyone has good food and drink."
After speaking, he raised his glass and drank the wine in one gulp, pushing the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax.
After eating and drinking, some of the villagers sitting on the outside agreed to leave the table, while the villagers sitting on the side chatted calmly with the villagers at other tables.
"Look, they walked out." When the banquet started, Anran and the others noticed that the faces of the villagers who walked out together were painted with bright red and black paint, which looked like facial makeup but not quite like facial makeup.
Hua Yingman bumped An Ran with her elbow, who was concentrating on feeding Yuan Bai, and carefully reminded An Ran that it was time to look for clues.
"Don't worry, I'll be back later." He told the anxious Hua Yingman calmly, how could the villagers leave so easily even if the village chief didn't leave.
Sure enough, just as An Ran said, the villagers came back, dressed in thick costumes, and started performing in the open field.
The outstanding performance left everyone spellbound.
But An Ran felt very strange. It was not that he had never heard of opera and had a certain understanding of opera, but for a while he couldn't figure out which gang had passed down the tunes and lyrics sung by the villagers.
"My predecessors suffered hardships, so be careful and act with caution."
After singing this line, the actors were supposed to take a collective bow and exit, but the leading actor, surrounded by the villagers, cleared the way and went straight to the wine table next to the village chief.
Due to limited vision, An Ran and the others did not see the wine table when the banquet began.
Now it seemed that the people sitting at the wine table were out of tune with the happy villagers around them. They all had sad faces. Even the most lively child had tears in his eyes and ate a few mouthfuls of food without interest.
The leading actor immediately circled around the table, and the actors following him murmured something.
After the actor stopped, the village chief filled the wine glass and walked over, quietly saying a few words to the woman. The woman hurriedly drank the white wine and left with a table of people.
As for what was said, An Ran didn't hear clearly. But looking at the posture, it was very likely that it was related to the clues.
However, how to find clues? An Ran fell into deep thought.
The village chief will definitely not tell him, after all, his identity is here; if the village chief doesn't trust outsiders, how can he tell outsiders what he said.
but……
Looking at Yuan Bai happily chewing chicken legs next to him, An Ran squatted down and wiped the corners of Yuan Bai's greasy mouth with paper.
"Yuan Bai, my sister asked you, who are the people sitting at the table next to you? Why are you not happy if you have a good time?"
Embarrassedly putting down the chicken legs, Yuan Bai leaned into An Ran's ear and whispered softly, "I heard from Uncle Li that the people sitting next to him are family members who disappear every year."
Every year at the harvest feast, all the people sitting next to the village chief's uncle were sad villagers. I had asked the village chief's uncle before, but the village chief's uncle had always refused to tell me.
"But Uncle Li said someone was missing, but he clearly saw those people just a few days ago."
Even the children in the village have to hide it. This clue must be crucial, and we still have to find a way to trap it.
Looking up at the ancient temple, An Ran's eyes dimmed, wondering what was going on with Xiang Yu.
It was already early in the morning when they met again. Unlike An Ran and the others who were well fed and contented, Xiang Yu and the others looked a little embarrassed. Their heads were covered with spider webs, their trouser legs were stained with bits of mud, and their clothes were torn on the way back in a hurry.
A hole the size of an egg.
Fortunately, the game is relatively user-friendly. For the clothing loss caused in the copy, the system will update a set for free every day and place it on the bench next to the player's bed so that the player can have a good gaming experience.
Seeing Xiang Yu and the others' embarrassment, Natasha burst out laughing.
"You look like you were caught red-handed stealing other people's things."
Not to mention, Natasha's description was so apt. They had been gasping loudly since they met, especially Zhang Yurou. The white dress she specially put on was dyed dark, and she had a bag in her arms for fear of losing it.
Come down.
Originally, Natasha meant these words to make everyone relax, but instead of relaxing, the faces of Xiang Yu and others became more serious.
"Oh, I'm just kidding." The solemn atmosphere made Natasha breathless, and she muttered in a low voice, "It's just a joke, it's not serious."
An Ran shook her head helplessly. Natasha was really not suitable for this game. She could never understand the severity. If it weren't for the novice game protection mechanism, she would have died several times.
After spending so many days together, you still can't figure out Xiang Yu's temper. How could someone who can tolerate even Zhang Yurou's little actions have a gloomy and unhappy face because of such a trivial matter?
"How's it going? Did you find anything?" An Ran asked. What made their faces very ugly must be what they saw in the village chief's house.
Zhang Yurou took out the things hidden in his arms and threw them on the ground.
This mass of things is entangled with each other. If you look closely, it turns out to be a ball of rope.
It may be because it has been used for too long, and the end of the rope is uneven and has several forks.
"Rope?" Hua Yingman, who had been silent all this time, approached the rope. Unlike Xiang Yu and the others who were startled, Hua Yingman pulled up one end of the rope and straightened it up. She didn't know what they were afraid of.
"Yes, a rope." Xiang Yu took Hua Yingman's right hand, took the rope, and put it under the light bulb, "Look, what is this?"
Under the illumination of the light bulb, everyone saw that the rope was covered with irregular black spots.
This is blood!!
Tell An Ran directly that the black spots on the rope are definitely not other stains, but small black spots caused by human blood accidentally rubbing on it and no one cleaning it up in time.
"I guess it's human blood."
After listening to what An Ran said, Xiang Yu nodded. Next to him, Li Cu, who was pale, stumbled and said, "The rope was taken from the village chief's house. There are many such ropes there."
Unlike An Ran and the others, Xiang Yu and the others had obviously much more difficulty in moving.
What no one expected was that not all villagers attended the event. When Xiang Yu and his party arrived at the village chief's yard, they unexpectedly found someone guarding the village chief's door.
If Zhang Yurou hadn't come up with the bad idea of climbing into a dog hole, their plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly this time.
The dog hole led directly to the backyard of the village chief's house. There was an inconspicuous secret door in the backyard. When they opened the door, they saw a dusty room with similar ropes hanging around it.
Originally, they planned to search the darkroom to see if there were any clues, but the village chief came home early, catching them off guard. In a panic, Zhang Yurou pulled off the rope hanging on the beam and carried them back.
"So, that means the village chief is hiding a shocking secret?"
"Yes, there is a dark room in the village chief's house." Xiang Yu added, "There are all these ropes in it."
Natasha suddenly thought of something and said uncertainly, "Isn't it kidnapping?"
I have seen a few news stories of abduction and trafficking in the real world before, although they are very few, but based on what Xiang Yu and the others have told me, this possibility cannot be ruled out.
"Impossible." He denied to the rest of his subconscious mind.
Judging from the reactions and attitudes of the villagers when they first arrived in the village, they would not tolerate foreigners coming here, let alone kidnap foreigners.
The clues were interrupted again, and for a while, the situation reached a deadlock.
"Perhaps, we have to go to the village chief's house and have a look." The sad look of the woman at the next table suddenly flashed through my mind, and I vaguely felt that the two things must be related to each other and cannot be separated.
After hearing what An Ran said, Natasha was the first to back down. Judging from Xiang Yu's description, it must not be a good place. If her guess was correct, she would be in trouble if she was discovered, and she would probably be arrested.
Kill and silence.
Then he hesitated and said, "I think it's better to inquire elsewhere. It's too dangerous to go there again."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Yurou frowned in displeasure. The new game was originally open to newcomers. The higher the newcomer's score, the richer the rewards they could get. Now that the newcomers are unwilling to cooperate together to complete the game, Zhang, who was originally angry,
Yurou was in an even worse mood.
"What? Just stay here and wait for clues to come to your door?" Hua Yingman said sarcastically to Natasha before Zhang Yurou could speak.
At the beginning of the game, she didn't like Natasha very much. Although she hid behind other players in fear every time, her selfish nature was clearly reflected in her.
She pretends to be soft from the beginning, and lets others get on when danger arises, while she takes a ride on her own. This kind of person is the most despised by Hua Yingman, so she ruthlessly demolishes her.
"What, I'm just making a suggestion." Natasha defended in a low voice, as if she had been greatly wronged, "I'm not forcing everyone not to go."
"Similarly, the troops are divided into two groups." I don't want to go just as you wish.
But Natasha was indeed right. The first time they went there, they were unprepared. If the village chief noticed something unusual, he would definitely increase his vigilance. There would be so many people there that he would be easily exposed;
Seeing that no one had any objections, An Ran continued, "This time, I'll go with Xiang Yu and Li Cu, and you guys will be responsible for covering up."
In order not to make the village chief suspicious, An Ran specially arranged for them to go to the mountains to collect wind and disturb the village chief's sight.
"Okay," Xiang Yu nodded. He very much agreed with An Ran's suggestion. In fact, he also wanted to go to the darkroom again, but due to what Natasha said before, he didn't dare to risk everyone's life on such a big deal.
Risk, even for a novice game.
Although the arrangements were well made, An Ran always felt that she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it.
At this time, someone pulled his clothes. He looked down and saw Yuan Bai curling his lips in frustration, "Sister, what about me?"
By the way, I almost forgot about Yuan Bai.
An Ran suddenly felt a headache. She was worried about taking Yuan Bai on the adventure. After all, Yuan Bai was still a child and couldn't stand the trouble. But she asked them to take care of An Ran, but she was afraid that they would not be able to take care of her and lose Yuan Bai.
Hua Yingman noticed An Ran's confusion and nodded to her;
After thinking for a while, An Ran knelt down and pinched his little face, "You stay with the other sisters and wait for me to come back."
