Real Cthulhu Running Game

In island countries, parents will not only erect statues of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for their children who died in infancy or early death, but will also erect statues for their unborn children if they have miscarried. Therefore, groups of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas can be seen in many temples and shrines in island countries. The Bodhisattva statue is placed under the tree.

Of course, if the child died due to some accident, this kind of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue would be placed at the place of the incident as a commemoration. Therefore, Liu Xing felt that the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue in front of him should represent an unfortunate drowning child. child.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing looked at the fish pond again, and then realized that there was actually a fence around the fish pond, but the fence was surrounded by white wire, so Liu Xing couldn't tell it at a glance.

Just when Liu Xing was about to approach the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue, he saw a young couple walking over not far away holding flowers and a new scarf, and their expressions were a little sad.

It seems that this young couple must be the parents of the drowned child.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xing subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave, because the couple was obviously here to commemorate their children, so it was better for outsiders like himself to stay away, not to mention that at this time, he was also in trouble because of falling into the water. Looking embarrassed.

But just when Liu Xing was about to turn back, the couple had already noticed Liu Xing. After all, there was no trace of anyone else around.

"Friend, do you need help?"

The husband looked at Liu Xing and said seriously: "My home is not far from here. If you need to change clothes, you can go back with us after we put the flowers and scarves."

"Yes, because the weather has been so hot recently, the edges of the field ridges are easily crushed, and I fell into the paddy field at this time two days ago." The wife continued.

Liu Xing originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he chose to nod in agreement, because the couple seemed to be two NPCs with stories, so since he was here, he should see what they had in them. What kind of plot.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing smiled and said: "My name is Sawada Ryusei. I went to Sakai Shang Village over there for company business. As a result, I accidentally fell into the paddy field when I came back, so I hurt myself." So embarrassed..."

Before Liu Xing finished speaking, the husband said in surprise: "Sakai Merchant Village? How come I haven't heard of a village with this name nearby? Although I have been living and working in Nagoya in the past few years, every year Come back and meet my parents when you have time; by the way, my name is Taichi Hiramoto, and this is my wife Masami Hiramoto."

Liu Xing was stunned for a moment, then pointed in the direction of Sakai Shang Village and said: "Go straight down this road, isn't the first village you see Sakai Shang Village? I heard that the people in that village are all from the past of Sakai Port, that’s why they called themselves Sakai Merchant Village.”

Taichi Hiramoto was also stunned, then shook his head and said: "No, that village should be called Kujing Village, because the well dug when the village was built soon turned into bitter water. I guess it is because it is far from the sea. It was too close, so the geological changes caused by drilling the well caused seawater to mix into the groundwater, so the well water turned into bitter water. Over time, the name of the village became Kujing Village; as for the residents in this village, they came from other places, but They never mentioned that they were from Sakai Port."

"So your company was deceived?"

Looking at the concerned Masami Hiramoto, Liu Xing quickly made up a reason and said: "Yes, a man came to our company a few days ago and said that he was from Sakai Shang Village and hoped that our company could come We renovated houses for them. At that time, we thought it was a big deal, because he said that Sakai Shangcun was a village, and all the rich people lived there, so my boss treated him to a good meal. A meal.”

"Then it seems you have encountered a liar."

Taichi Hiramoto shook his head and said: "As far as I know, the people in Kujing Village are just a group of ordinary farmers. Because the land here is not very suitable for growing crops, their annual income is not too high; but I don't know Why, these people in Kujing Village like to guard their own one-third of an acre of land. Even the young people are focused on the fields. You must know that the young people in the neighboring villages have long gone to Nagoya or other big cities to find jobs. ”

Hearing Taichi Hiramoto's tone of voice was so firm, Liu Xing was confused for a moment. Could it be that Sakai Masachi's hometown was really not Sakai Shang Village, but an ordinary village?

So what happened to Sakai Masashie's group?

But having said that, Liu Xing suddenly remembered that the houses he saw in the "dead" mirror world were indeed some old and dilapidated, and they did not seem to match the "persona" of Sakai Shang Village.

"Okay, Mr. Sawada, I have to put flowers on my sister with my wife now, so if you can, please wait for us for a while, okay?" Taichi Hiramoto said seriously: "My sister was last year. I accidentally fell into the pond while playing with my friends. Because my parents have always been unwilling to accept this reality, my wife and I have come here to pay homage to my sister in the past few years."

"Excuse me."

Liu Xing nodded slightly, then stood aside.

Soon, Pingben and his wife finished their worship and took Liu Xing to their home. On the way, Liu Xing also learned more about Kujing Village.

Kujing Village was actually only officially established more than ten years ago. At that time, the villagers of Kujing Village settled here under the leadership of official personnel, which caused dissatisfaction from several surrounding villages, because in their view, the land in Kujing Village had already been However, the first batch of villagers in Kujing Village were basically young people in their twenties and thirties. Therefore, other villages did not dare to provoke Kujing Village at will.

However, when something happened to the well in Kujing Village, those villages did not lend a helping hand, but just watched the excitement, so Kujing Village had to use distilled water for a month. Of course, the liquid distilled from bitter water was still a bit unpleasant to drink.

Therefore, Kujing Village has established a relationship with the surrounding villages. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the villagers of Kujing Village will not have contact with people from the surrounding villages. Of course, the villagers of Kujing Village stay in their own homes most of the time. There will be no going out in the village.

Hearing this, Liu Xing began to feel a little confused. Could it be that Sakai Masachi had deceived him? Or maybe Sakai Masachi's grandfather and father also lied to him?

It seems that the situation in Sakai Shang Village is a bit complicated.

Then, Taichi Hiramoto talked about his own affairs, "Mr. Sawada, I heard that the construction industry is quite profitable recently, so does your company lack accountants? The company I work for now has poor economic performance because the boss always He likes to misappropriate funds from his books to buy things for his wife, which makes it difficult for me as an accountant to carry out normal work, and Yami is pregnant again this month, so I have to earn more money to support them."

In the island country, lover means lover.

"Well, I can help you ask my boss about this, but I can't guarantee you anything now, because I personally feel that our company still has no shortage of accountants. At least I have never had any problems with my salary; but I I heard that our company is preparing to expand recently, so we might find a few more accountants to take charge of financial issues."

Liu Xing pretended to think for a moment and then said: "Well, about Sakai Merchant... No, it should be about Kujing Village. After I report it to the boss, I will do it again in all likelihood. I will tell the result then. your."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Sawada."

Taichi Hiramoto sighed, looked at the rice around him and said: "If possible, I would also like to live this kind of pastoral life, because although it is a bit hard every day, I don't have to face all kinds of messy trivial matters, especially I don’t have to meet those inexplicable people... But the only person who makes me not regret leaving the village is Yami."

Seeing the Hiramoto couple throwing tantrums whenever they disagreed, Liu Xing didn't know what to say for a moment.

But having said that, Liu Xing suddenly missed Tian Qing. After all, he hadn't seen her for a long time.

"Here we are."

Liu Xing looked at the village in front of him, which looked more modern than Kujing Village, and said curiously: "Mr. Pingben, what is the name of your village?"

"Goldfish Village, because there used to be many fishermen in our village, so someone once caught a golden sea fish while fishing, so the name of the village became Goldfish Village. But strangely enough, Linhai in my impression None of the fish are golden, after all, gold is not suitable as a protective color."

At this point, Taichi Hiramoto's expression became sad again, "The fish pond we saw just now belongs to my second uncle's family, and the ancestor of my second uncle's family was the one who caught the golden sea fish, so I Second uncle, no, it should be that my second uncle’s father started raising fish in that fish pond.”

"Are you raising arowana?"

Liu Xing asked curiously: "I heard that some people have now cultivated golden ornamental fish, but this has taken a lot of time and energy from the breeder. After all, if you want to continuously purify the color of the fish, you need to be good at it." It takes dozens, or even hundreds of generations of fish reproduction to complete.”

"Absolutely, but my second uncle and his father are both quick-tempered people, so every time they come back from fishing, they put all the people into the fish pond. After raising them for a few days, they will start to They sell fish, leaving only those fish that look a little golden on the surface; but these fish are all sea fish, and we are far away from the sea, so my second uncle wanted to bring sea water, but he couldn't There is no way to do it, so every ten days and a half there will be no fish in this fish pond.”

Taichi Hiramoto sighed and continued: "Although this fish pond has never given my second uncle anything in return, it has become the favorite place for children from nearby villages to play, because my second uncle is I don’t care about their fishing, so a few days before each new fish is replaced, the fish pond is the busiest, and my sister was pulled into the water by a big fish while fishing..."

"I am sorry for your loss..."

Liu Xing also sighed, "Everything in the world is unpredictable. I once had a classmate who accidentally drowned while swimming in the river during summer vacation."

"Yeah, who would think that a little girl over one meter tall could drown in a pond less than half a meter deep?" Taichi Hiramoto shook his head and said, "Okay, let's not talk about these things, Ze Mr. Tian, ​​please wait here for a moment while I go and tell my parents about you first, because my parents don’t like to come into contact with strangers since my sister passed away.”

"no problem."

After Liu Xing watched Piramoto and his wife enter the courtyard of a two-story building, he began to observe the surrounding situation.

As Taichi Hiramoto said just now, because young people in this village choose to go out, there are not many people walking around in the village, but Liu Xing can still hear sounds coming from nearby houses, In addition, there was smoke rising from these houses, and Liu Xing knew that it should be noon.

"Okay Mr. Sawada, you can come in now."

Taichi Hiramoto came out and said: "I think we have similar figures, so for now you will have to wear my old clothes. As for these dirty clothes, let Masami wash them for you. Judging from the bright sun today, yours The clothes should be drying quickly.”

Liu Xing wanted to politely refuse the offer of washing clothes, but when he thought that the world might be reset at any time, he chose to agree because it would be better to advance a long-term plot like this at this time.

Although the world has only been reset once, and all players have a very limited understanding of this world, Liu Xing can be sure that Yin En and others are carefully advancing their respective plots at this time to ensure that the world will not It was reset so quickly. . . Of course, Liu Xing can be sure that before dark today, the second world reset will definitely come as scheduled, because with this type of module, there will definitely be some problems after dark.

Of course, the most important reason is that players can't find a safe place to spend the night, so accidents are easy to happen at night.

While thinking about it, Liu Xing followed Taichi Hiramoto to his room, changed his clothes, and hid pistols and other things that might cause problems in a hidden corner of the room, so as not to disturb the couple later. An accident happened while chatting.

While changing clothes, Liu Xing heard the footsteps of two people upstairs. It seemed that they were Taichi Hiramoto's parents, but what made Liu Xing feel a little strange was that they didn't say a word upstairs. explain.

PS: Happy New Year.
