Chapter 60: Stop Spirit (2)
Squeak...
The door that was pushed open bounced back silently, breaking the silence of this moment.
Whether they were exploring the charity house, waiting in the wing room, or those who had just stepped into the gate of the charity house, they all subconsciously searched for the old man mentioned in the task.
"Dong, dun."
The slow knock sounds from far to near.
Zhao Yijiu heard the direction of the sound and immediately looked at the locked door in the backyard.
The knock was right behind the door, and people from the front yard rushed over. Before they could "get to know each other" they saw the locked door shaking, and someone opened the door bolt from inside.
The dark night flowed out from the gap between the wider door. An old man with a hunchbacked body was wearing a patched cloth robe, supported his body with a crutch, and stepped across the threshold and moved out step by step.
When Zhao Yijiu wanted to take the opportunity to see what the back dean looked like, a gust of wind happened to blow over and blew the door together with lightning speed.
"So many helpers have come..."
The old man's hoarse voice exuded a sense of dying years. He looked up with difficulty, his face was deep and his eyes were turbid.
Some people have not forgotten to play the role of the character, and think that in this case, they will definitely break the character without asking a few questions. However, before they opened their mouths, they felt their throats were blocked and their lips seemed to be glued, and they could not make any sound.
So, no one interrupted the old man, only the old man faced the dozen people surrounding him, holding his skin and showing a stiff smile.
"All of them are kind and good kids..."
"Help, so many people are waiting to be buried..."
He walked forward with a cane, and the deducers automatically gave him a way out.
The old man walked slowly through the wing room, walked to the front yard, and stopped in front of the bodies lying on the ground.
The old man's already arched back bent lower, his eyebrows and eyes drooped, sighing a creepy breath, muttering: "Everyone suffers, suffers, wash away dirty clothes, wear food, and go to the house for the next life."
It was obviously a compassionate tone, but the deducers who followed him felt a chill all over their bodies, and they felt that the yin energy around them became rich in an instant.
After a while, the old man came to his senses from the body and turned to face them again.
"You all understand what I said, right? Don't worry about the others. Just leave the fourteen corpses lying here, and they will be handed over to you."
"There is a well outside the door. You can find everything you need in the wing room... and when they are buried in peace... it will be dawn."
Another sigh.
After the old man finished speaking, he returned to the same direction in the backyard, as if he no longer cared about what they were going to do.
It was not until his figure was blocked by the backyard gate that the sound of the wooden bolts stuck into the groove allowed the deducers to regain their qualifications to speak.
"...Everyone." Zhao Huaisheng looked at the part of the people who had just stepped a little slower to enter the charity village. "Everyone has seen it. We should have been attracted by the strange moonlight and arrived at this strange place. Let's regard this place as a charity village."
"I heard what the old man said just now. We have to help these corpses be buried in peace before we can leave this charity village. I counted them. There were fourteen corpses in total, which were the same as ours. We were responsible for one. How about it?"
After finally everyone gathered, the live broadcast room was merged at this time, and the number of viewers reached an unprecedented peak.
Someone was stunned and asked in confusion on the barrage:
[Where is their mission? The old man didn't say it clearly. How did they determine what they had to do to leave?]
[Old man: You all understand what I said, right? I: What did you say?]
[It is not difficult to understand. After listening carefully, I found out that the old man said "washing dirty clothes, putting food in the house", which refers to the four steps of taking a bath, changing a shroud, putting things in the mouth, and entering the coffin.]
[Yes, we should be able to leave after completing four steps. We all understand. Everyone in this is the boss. I guess they don’t even have any doubts in their hearts, right?]
[One person corresponds to one corpse, which is an old routine, but why are there only fourteen? Alas, a little guy, Yu Xing, why isn't he here?]
[You just realized that Yu Xing had been in the live broadcast room for a long time, just after he triggered the collective mission.]
[I'm afraid it's because of the copy mechanism or the high-level existence that caused his live broadcast room to be blacked out. It's impossible that he died.]
The things discussed in the barrage did not raise any questions in the charity village.
Everyone present thought of the answer at the first time, but the character that should be played still needs to be played.
"No, who are you? You just accept it like this? Don't be the one you are doing it!" Someone always draws the character of a irritable brother. Cheng, a guest of the Luo family, wore a beggar's uniform and sang the opposite. "I'm not a good person. I can't eat enough or wear warmth these days, and I still have the intention to send someone to the end?"
While he was speaking the lines, he moved closer to the gate of Yizhuang. Although he was mentally prepared to be blocked and unable to open, he still reached out to push: "I want to leave here!"
He exerted force and the door of Yizhuang popped out instantly, making people's eardrums hurt.
...It's really open?
He was stunned and looked out immediately.
Outside the house, a well stood suddenly in front of the door. Looking further away, it turned out to be a flat path, with trees on both sides, but the height was similar. Obviously, it was flat land, not on the mountain.
The old man mentioned this well, and there was also a part of the task to bathe the body, which showed that they could step out of this door and go to the edge of the well. Cheng Yiju did not hesitate and immediately took a few steps out and observed it more carefully.
They are really not on the mountain anymore.
This deduction is really interesting. Can the map change at any time?
Behind Cheng Yiju, others came out one after another.
The changes in the environment seem to prove the existence of some evil things, and no one needs to question the old man's words.
Everyone was so worried that they were so angry that they were so surprised that they took advantage of the reason that "we are all brothers and brothers, we have to work together to leave here." They introduced their identities.
Cheng Yiju was indeed a beggar. He was driven out of two miles because he stole the wealthy family's things from the town. He didn't want to be beaten to death, so he hid in the forest outside the town. He got lost and went up the mountain in a daze, wandering deeper and deeper.
When he was on the way back to the town, he met Song Xue and Zhao Dongxue, two daughters who escaped from the gangster's nest. Although the three of them had extremely unequal identities, it was really dangerous for the two daughters to be alone in the mountains. He promised that if the beggars protect them all the way, they would give the beggar a hundred taels of silver after returning home.
So these three people walked together.
Quinn and Luo met one of the bandit dens that captured two daughters. However, before coming to the charity village, they had not met Song Xue and others. Their identity was to go to Fengtou Town to rob a caravan that was about to pass by.
Among all, only the Siren was still acting alone until tonight.
Her silver curly hair turned black and straight in the background of the copy, and she was dressed in a strange red makeup. She was not dressed up in a luxurious style, but her hair was carefully wrapped into a beautiful bun. Her makeup was strange, her already fair face was whiter and her lips were as bright as a ghost.
With such a representative outfit, everyone has a clear idea of her identity.
But she did not say that she was the "bride", but called herself the "seat girl".
According to her, she was unconscious for some reason and woke up and stayed in a red sedan chair. The sedan chairmen always kept silent and carried her forward day and night.
Every day, only at night did she get some food handed over by the sedan chairman, surrounded by mountains and trees, and she tried to escape, but no matter where she ran, the sedan chairman would always appear behind her like a ghost, and took her back to the sedan chair without saying a word.
She only knew that she was going to be sent to Yejiang, and she didn't know anything else.
Until tonight, the moonlight was bright and she was sleeping. Suddenly she felt the sedan chair shaking. When she opened the curtain, she saw that the sedan chair owners were all missing, and there was only one light path in front of her.
So she fled along the road of Guanglu, entered the charity village, and met these people with different identities from all directions.
At this point, everyone's identities have been clear.
The god of the zodiac, the saint, the doctor, three merchants, beggar, the sedan chair girl, two daughters, two bandits, masters, and hunters.
There is also a missing dart head.
The crowd, who seemed to have little to do with each other, only talked about their identities and did not expose their respective abilities because the moonlight gathered here.
Except for masters who are very masters when they hear them.
Among them, there is one exception—
Yu Xing, who started the collective mission, was not here. Where did he go? I guess he should be in the charity village, would he stay in the backyard like the old man?
Everyone had some speculations in their hearts, but they did not make it clear in public, but discussed how to fulfill the old man's instructions.
Just as they were chattering about digging the well water to bathe the corpses first, Zhao Mou came to Zhao Yijiu calmly.
He pulled Zhao Yijiu's arm and looked quite interested: "Oh, who whipped such a heavy whip? It's so cruel. Do you need me, the doctor, to bandage you? If this continues, your whole piece of meat will rot."
Zhao Yijiu pulled his arm back.
"I have no money."
Zhao Mou was even happier: "It's okay, when you arrive in the town, you will find a way to make money and pay the medical expenses, and only add five points to the profit. How about it?"
