Chapter 48 - Lonely Village by the River (14)
“You… agree?”
Hearing Jiang Xiuxiu’s words, Ye Ming was slightly startled, showing a rare and somewhat surprised look.
Jiang Xiuxiu: “…Yeah, what’s wrong?”
She felt that she didn’t think about it for a long time, why did Ye Ming look like she was hard to chase?
In all fairness, Jiang Xiuxiu felt that she was not a very complicated girl.
She really likes money, but she is not very materialistic and does not need luxury cars and various luxuries, so she can be very happy eating hot pot.
As for falling in love or something, she is also relatively free and will not have all kinds of harsh requirements.
Just like now, she thinks that Ye Mingren looks good and has a good personality. The two of them know each other and have a common language. She also feels a little moved because of what happened just now, so why don’t you talk to him for a try? .
Although she certainly didn’t have a deep-rooted love for Ye Ming, and he had to, but the feelings were in many places and over time.
“nothing.”
Ye Ming blinked and suddenly smiled lightly: “I’m very happy.”
When he speaks, his voice is normal, clean, not deliberately lowered or softened, and even his smile is shallow.
But seeing him like this, and being told that again by him, Jiang Xiuxiu blushed a little, not knowing what to say.
To be honest, she is a novice when it comes to dating. Facing Ye Ming’s sudden change in identity, she doesn’t know what to do for a while.
“Then let’s go first?” Jiang Xiuxiu thought for a while and asked, “It’s getting late, so let’s have a rest in order to have the strength to work tomorrow.”
Ye Ming heard the words and nodded.
Without further delay, the two turned around and walked into the Wang’s house.
So much happened that night.
After Jiang Xiuxiu and Ye Ming were out of danger, their exhaustion gradually came up.
They found a secret place, got some straw, and lay down.
A night without dreams.
This sleep, Jiang Xiuxiu slept until noon the next day.
She only woke up in a daze when people were coming and going outside and they were about to make noise.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and when she opened her eyes, she felt that her eyelids were all orange-red.
She straightened up and found that Ye Ming had woken up at some point.
He sat quietly by the window, his dark eyes staring thoughtfully at the scene outside.
Maybe it was the light or the angle. When Jiang Xiuxiu looked at it dimly, he felt that Ye Ming’s eyes were very cold.
Not the kind of coldness with malice, but a kind of indifference, as if looking at a dead thing, with aloof indifference.
This kind of look, she feels that it should not appear on a person…
When Jiang Xiuxiu was stunned, Ye Ming felt something.
He tilted his head slightly and asked, “Are you awake?”
His expression returned to his previous appearance, looking gentle and polite.
The eyes she caught just now when she glanced at it seemed to be just that she accidentally looked at it when she was not fully awake.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiuxiu didn’t think about anything else.
She nodded and asked casually, “What happened outside?”
“The villagers found the player,” Ye Ming replied quickly, “they faced off over there.”
Sure enough, it broke out.
When Jiang Xiuxiu heard this, she was not surprised.
Yes, after all, the player burned the villagers’ houses last night, which is much more serious than looting food.
She got up slowly, and through the broken window, she saw a large group of people gathered outside Wang Xiaoyue’s grandfather’s house not far away.
They were arguing about something, and it was so noisy that the Wang family could hear it a little bit.
Maybe it’s because I don’t think anyone will die again and return to the Wang family, so no villagers come here to take a look.
Jiang Xiuxiu also stayed here safe and sound, quietly observing the situation.
She found that the villagers looked very excited.
There were a few villagers who seemed to be victims, and their anger was almost written on their faces. If someone hadn’t stopped them, they would almost have punched the player in the face.
The players, on the other hand, have a rather fearless attitude.
Jiang Xiuxiu listened carefully, and could hear what they said to the villagers.
“Then what’s the matter… You should also know that we have a way to deal with the river god…”
“As long as you dare to continue at night in the future… we will dare to continue to punish you…”
Jiang Xiuxiu: “…”
Emotionally, they knew about Wang Xiaoyue’s family from somewhere.
Since the Chinese textbook was still in his hands, Jiang Xiuxiu guessed that 80% of them didn’t know the real way to deal with the River God.
Saying this is also bluffing the villagers.
After three nights, the number of players dwindled.
At present, including her and Ye Ming, there are only eight players left, but Jiang Xiuxiu and Ye Ming have been hiding outside for a long time, and on the bright side, there are only six players left.
In this case, they must find a way to get rid of the passive and weak situation.
The act of burning down the house seems reckless and irritating, and it is easy to let oneself be targeted by the villagers, but it is indeed the only effective way at present.
Villagers will now throw them into the river, on the one hand because of their belief in the river god, and on the other hand, for hurting players, there is no punishment and no retribution for them.
Even on the other hand, there are benefits.
Are they really that religious? Not necessarily.
Wang Xiaoyue’s grandfather’s diary clearly wrote that the act of worshipping the river **** disappeared a long time ago, and it was inexplicably revived in recent years.
Will they do it, or because it’s profitable, it pays off.
Once their own interests are severely hit, they will definitely be shaken by it, and even the three people whose houses were burned down may be angry and regret it.
This is a good time for her to make a move!
When the villagers’ will was shaken, she hurriedly appeared, got rid of the black-robed old man, and by the way “refuted the rumor”, telling the villagers that there was no river god…
With such a set, most of the “believers” can get rid of the cult, isn’t it beautiful! ?
Can Xu Bai be killed back, just this time!
After Jiang Xiuxiu saw the situation clearly, the whole person became excited.
She knew that the opportunity could not be lost, and it would never come again.
She had to leave now. If it was just a few hours away, the furious villagers might decide to lock them up because they couldn’t bear it or were brainwashed by the old man in black robe.
The unequal number and physical relationship between villagers and players will always be a hidden danger.
Once the villagers tear their faces, the player will not have any chance of resistance at all.
“Ye Ming.”
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiuxiu made a decisive decision, quickly grabbed Ye Ming’s hand beside him, and looked at each other affectionately: “How is your physical condition now, how are you?”
“health condition?”
Hearing Jiang Xiuxiu’s question, Ye Ming was startled.
Immediately afterwards, he seemed to think of something, raised the corner of his mouth, and said softly, “Don’t worry, I’m completely better.”
“That’s good!”
Hearing this, Jiang Xiuxiu said excitedly, “I can’t get away by myself now, can you help burn two houses!”
She herself likes to break the game very much, and when she talks about this, she can’t stop: “I feel that now is a very good opportunity, once we seize it, we may be able to make a comeback! You still remember me sharing it on the APP before. Have you experienced those two games? It’s time for the players to attack. I know more, so I’m going to go back to the player group to confront the villagers. As for you, go help me burn a house as soon as possible… … Ye Ming, what’s wrong with you?”
Jiang Xiuxiu talked for a long time, only to realize that Ye Ming didn’t seem to speak much.
Seeing this, she couldn’t help but ask.
Could it be that she was so excited that she ignored him?
“I’m fine.”
Facing Jiang Xiuxiu’s question, Ye Ming had the same smile on his face as he always did: “Go ahead, I’m listening carefully.”
Jiang Xiuxiu: “…”
She looked at Ye Ming suspiciously several times, always feeling that he seemed a little unhappy.
But when she took a closer look, she felt that Ye Ming had already figured it out…
“Okay then,” Jiang Xiuxiu thought for a while, and stopped talking at length, “I’ll briefly explain the task.”
A few minutes have passed, and there is no further delay.
Next, she told Ye Ming part of her plan and taught him where to set fire.
Jiang Xiuxiu originally planned to choose a house far away from Wang’s house, but after thinking about it, he still felt that burning the house near the old man’s black robe would have a better effect.
There must be someone in the black-robed old man’s house to take care of him, and he may also have some means of protecting himself.
But the house around the black-robed old man is not necessarily so.
She didn’t believe it anymore. Seeing her house vanished, the neighbors would not complain silently about the black-robed old man while they hated them.
Jiang Xiuxiu is still relatively clear about some of the bad roots of people’s hearts.
“Remember, your personal safety is the most important thing when you take action,” Jiang Xiuxiu urged, “When you can’t use special skills, it’s best not to use them. If someone finds you, hurry up. Running, living is more important than anything else.”
Ye Ming listened to her words, and finally nodded obediently: “I understand.”
Jiang Xiuxiu was keenly aware that Ye Ming at this time seemed to be in a much better mood than before.
Man, what a strange creature.
After reminiscing for a while, Jiang Xiuxiu couldn’t help but sighed in his heart.
After that, they simply packed up and separated at the Wang family.
Ye Ming sneaked into the village by himself while most of the villagers were away, while Jiang Xiuxiu walked to the player’s side through another road.
At this point, the players and the villagers have reached a deadlock.
Jiang Xiuxiu was far apart, and he could hear a young villager yelling at the player: “…You are like this, you are hurting the world, and the river **** will definitely punish you!”
“—Then how are you sure that the ‘River God’ in your mouth is real?”
At this moment, Jiang Xiuxiu spoke unhurriedly.
