Chapter 43 - Lonely Village by the River (9)
Seeing this, Jiang Xiuxiu narrowed his eyes.
What do these two want to do?
After thinking about it, she decided to stand still and stay in this room to see what the two of them would do next.
Fortunately, this house is not far from Wang’s house, Jiang Xiuxiu can still see clearly after hiding in the house.
She watched them **** all the way to Wang’s house, knocked out the player who found them, and slipped in quietly.
Then, they waved the hammers in their hands and smashed directly at the gate of the Wang family!
Because during the day, players mostly go out to search for information, and few players stay in Wang’s house.
therefore. The actions of the two villagers turned out to be unexpectedly smooth.
They broke the gate first, then went in and smashed all the windows and made a mess of the yard.
They used tools to disfigure what little crops and crops were left in the nearby fields.
Then, they entered the house, making the obvious sound of crock china breaking.
The quilts of the players were thrown out by them, and they were basically torn apart.
However, while doing these things, Jiang Xiuxiu also found that they seemed to have other purposes.
When making troubles in the kitchen or the yard, these villagers’ attitude is very perfunctory, just like completing the task, starting rough and ending hastily.
But after entering the room, Jiang Xiuxiu noticed that they spent far more time in Wang Xiaoyue’s room than other places.
When the two villagers were in the kitchen, they just smashed it, but when they got to Wang Xiaoyue’s room where there was almost nothing, they also made some subtle sounds of turning boxes and cabinets.
As if looking for something…
Jiang Xiuxiu wanted to know more clearly, but she was already a “fugitive”.
Now that she is alone, she is no match for two middle-aged men with weapons. After thinking about it, Jiang Xiuxiu chose to shrink back.
It didn’t take long for the Wang family to be ruined.
The two came in a hurry and left in a hurry, leaving only the player in a mess.
The aftermath is also obvious.
When the player came back, he was furious and wanted to go to the villagers to ask for an explanation.
However, the villagers denied this, and did not admit that they did it.
Not only did they not admit it, but they also pretended to be enthusiastic and offered to let the players live in their homes and bring them food.
The completely different attitudes of the villagers from before naturally made players feel vigilant.
However, there is a very subtle point here, that is, the Wang family. Strictly speaking, it is only the player’s borrowed land, not belonging to them.
Even if they insist on asking the villagers for an explanation, they have no position.
After all, although they are classmates of Wang Xiaoyue, they live in Wang’s house by force, so they don’t take care of it.
After this toss, the players are exhausted physically and mentally.
Jiang Xiuxiu didn’t even have to go to the crowd to guess what the villagers were thinking.
Relying on this rude but effective method, the player’s residence is directly broken, leaving them with nowhere to go, and can only be forced to accept things and become the sacrifice of the river god.
Shameless, but effective.
The places where the players used to live were absolutely safe, but now, they don’t even have a place to stay.
At noon, Ye Ming came over and looked for her again.
He briefly explained the situation of the players, which was not much different from what Jiang Xiuxiu expected.
After finding that there was no result from the questioning, the players all chose to leave the village and sleep in the open.
But for a group of players who can’t even cook and have been spoiled since childhood, this situation is quite embarrassing.
“They don’t know what to do,” Ye Ming suddenly asked, “Jiang Xiuxiu, if it were you, what would you think?”
If it was her?
Hearing this, Jiang Xiuxiu pondered for a while, and then replied, “Of course, they organized a group to steal the villagers’ meals.”
Although stealing is not very good, this is indeed Jiang Xiuxiu’s first reaction.
The food prepared by the villagers for the player is problematic, but the food prepared by the villagers for their own family members will definitely be safe.
She can even find a reason for the player’s behavior: Don’t the villagers want to give them food, so instead of bothering the villagers, it is better for them to take the initiative to “get” it.
The number of players is small, but the victory is young. Most of the villagers here are old, weak, sick and disabled. If the players unite, they may not be able to defeat the villagers, but resistance is no problem.
As for whether this habit will affect reality… So many people who fight and kill on the Internet and in holographic online games, in reality, not all of them are potential murderers, right?
This group of villagers is not necessarily a good thing in the setting. Anyway, if Jiang Xiuxiu wants to do it, he may feel guilty, but he will not be soft at all.
“That’s it,” Ye Ming showed a faint smile after hearing Jiang Xiuxiu’s reply, “Okay, I see.”
Jiang Xiuxiu listened to what he said and knew that he was going to tell those players about this method, so he nodded along the way.
“Remember to hold a group,” she reminded. “If you are scattered, you will be easily targeted by the villagers.”
After saying these words, both of them were a little hungry.
After that, Jiang Xiuxiu asked Ye Ming to go out to the villagers’ fields to get some food and come back.
She tossed the food in Wang Xiaoyue’s grandfather’s kitchen and made do with Ye Ming.
After eating, the two said a few more words, and Ye Ming left immediately.
The remaining players, in all likelihood, will be watched secretly by the villagers.
If he stayed here for a long time, it would be easy to expose Jiang Xiuxiu.
After Ye Ming left, Jiang Xiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of Ye Ming’s sudden confession in the morning, she is still a little nervous and embarrassed when she sees Ye Ming.
But Ye Ming behaved quite naturally, no different from before.
This made her feel a little helpless.
But I have to say that Ye Ming’s attitude of not deliberately being ambiguous with her made Jiang Xiuxiu feel more comfortable.
In addition to these, if we look at the business, in fact, the suggestion Jiang Xiuxiu just put forward, although it is her true thoughts, it still carries a part of her selfishness.
That is, she kind of wants to intensify the conflict between players and villagers again.
After discovering that the two villagers deliberately destroyed the Wang family to make the player homeless and were forced to accept the betrothal gift, Jiang Xiuxiu was always confused.
The players who are still alive now, plus her, are only ten people in total.
Although they are young and energetic, women make up the majority.
These villagers dare to kill people, why are they so soft when they treat their group of players?
Jiang Xiuxiu had thought before that if she was a villager, she would try to trick the players into the house and arrest them from the very beginning.
Then, she would tie everyone up, force them to eat, and at night, throw them into the river one by one without giving them a chance to resist.
If the villagers are really determined to clean up the player, it is almost impossible for the player to escape the clutches.
But the villagers were not like that.
Only when dealing with players who clearly can be thrown into the river, their attitude will be terrifyingly tough, and usually, they at most use some means to deal with players, and they don’t even dare to face them.
Jiang Xiuxiu didn’t think that this would be Xu Bai’s order. Having known Xu Bai for so long, he didn’t look like someone who would respect players so much.
So, what are they afraid of?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiuxiu couldn’t help but think of how the two villagers were writhing in Wang Xiaoyue’s room looking for things when they went to destroy Wang’s house.
Their players actually have a layer of identity – they are all classmates who have a good relationship with Wang Xiaoyue.
In order to find out about Wang Xiaoyue’s situation, they were even willing to come over to find out.
This level of identity usually has no sense of existence, and is almost on the verge of being forgotten by most players.
But that doesn’t mean it’s useless.
Jiang Xiuxiu’s intuition told her that the villagers’ fearfulness might be related to the twin sisters of the Wang family.
From her grandfather’s diary, she knew that Wang Xiaoyue and Wang Xiaoyun had a very close relationship, so she no longer linked Wang Xiaoyue’s disappearance to her sisters’ grievances.
Wang Xiaoyue and Wang Xiaoyun, one’s body was hidden in the straw stack, the other was thrown into the icy river.
Their deaths were a tragedy and should be the result of their joint resistance.
Under such circumstances, if they evolve into ghosts, they are still the kind of ghosts that are malicious to villagers and friendly to players, which is a matter of course.
It’s just that Wang Xiaoyue and possibly Wang Xiaoyun, after her soul appeared once in the player’s dream, never appeared again.
Jiang Xiuxiu wanted to know the situation and confirm her guess, but she was unable to start.
While Jiang Xiuxiu was curious, she also wanted to know how far the villagers’ bottom line was towards the player.
Grabbing food is the easiest way to try.
…
Ye Ming has always been quick in his work. It didn’t take long for Jiang Xiuxiu to pass through the window and see the village in the distance. There was a scene of players huddled together.
Later, when it was dinner time, she successfully got new food from Ye Ming and saw him safe and sound.
“We did as you said,” Ye Ming said. “When the nearby villagers were unprepared, we robbed a family’s kitchen together and took their food away.”
“Is something wrong?” Jiang Xiuxiu asked what she wanted to know most.
“No,” Ye Ming replied, “We escaped quickly, and the villagers dared not speak out.”
dare not speak…
The ability of the Wang sisters seemed to be higher than she thought.
“Have you found a place to rest?” Jiang Xiuxiu thought for a while and continued to ask.
Ye Ming shook his head.
“Bring them here to rest,” Jiang Xiuxiu pondered for a moment, then said decisively, “Tonight, I will go out alone to find a place to rest.”
She thought that she must meet Wang Xiaoyue or Wang Xiaoyun once.
If they don’t come to her, then she will take the initiative to find her – for example, to return to the shabby royal family where there is no one.
