Before Er Niang came here to visit the prison.
Master Zheng is like a hard-working little bee buzzing, going out and in quickly, and starts another game.
Compared with the previous phenomenon on the table, there was an extra green flame floating outside the outline of the map.
There were words vaguely emerging from the flames.
Mr. Zheng reached out to fish it out and sipped the lovely green flame into the palm of his hand.
I wonder when I will be able to play such a skill in reality?
Cool and handsome.
Master Zheng is in a good mood.
The incarnation [Zheng Shan] can only be equipped with five traits.
In the previous round, Mr. Zheng used his own efforts to carefully observe the footprints and understand the [Tracking], but Inda turned into a bottleneck and was left hanging here.
[Tracking (a little understanding of the basics)] At a specific time, by carefully observing, the clues left by the prey in the environment can be clearly seen in your eyes.
Obviously, [Tracking] is the same as [Reconnaissance] and [Medical Science], and it is a trait that needs to be determined by dice.
Check out the incarnation of [Zheng Shan].
Zheng Xiu seemed to have returned to the moment when he first created his incarnation.
He can adjust the acquired traits of his avatar at will.
After thinking for a moment, Zheng Xiu took off [Shock (a little understanding)] and replaced it with [Tracking (a little understanding)].
The probability of triggering shock is too low, so you can only find an opportunity to upgrade it to the level of entry or higher before equipping it.
So far, the five characteristics of [Zheng Shan] are:
[Investigation (minor attainments)], [Medicine (minor attainments)], [Intuition (intrusion)], [Provocation (intrusion)], [Tracking (a little understanding)].
"This is the joy of practicing trumpet!"
Although this trumpet may be more powerful than the big one.
[Zheng Shan] Open your eyes, your eyes are flowing, like a dragon walking like a tiger, stepping into the ghost world.
Act 2 begins.
Zheng Xiu still threw away the knife and rolled in the mud as a disguise.
Today, he is just an ordinary painter in distress.
Taking advantage of the time, Zheng Xiu stepped into Baili Village while brushing up his [Investigation] and [Medical Science] experience out of boredom.
This time, under the pressure of being "released from prison" in reality, Zheng Xiu made up his mind to bid farewell to the Treasure King and complete the speed pass of Baili Village.
A true speedrun.
Last time, the strange reactions of the village chief and villagers made Zheng Xiu think twice.
There must be something wrong with this village.
First, the surrounding bandits did not get involved here.
It barely makes sense to insist that Baili Village has no other property besides being rich in carp, and no real money or silver, so the bandits would look down upon it.
Then there was an abundance of carp, and there were endless descendants. It was reasonable for the villagers to be fat and fat.
But why does that sneaky child look like a starving ghost?
The last time Zheng Xiu saw the little girl for the first time, he just felt that it was inconsistent. Now after smoothing out the clues, he understood where the inconsistent feeling came from.
While the village chief was greeting Wang Cangyun and others, Zheng Xiu came to the place where he met the little girl last time.
There was no need to investigate, Zheng Xiu waited intently.
The moon was obscured by clouds, and in the dim light, a small, unkempt head with only its lips exposed peeked at the macho painter from behind the wall.
Zheng Xiu just wanted to raise his hand and throw [Provocation], but the opponent ran away quickly.
Ah this?
Did you predict my prediction?
"Quickly pass a tracking!"
Between Zheng Xiu's brows, the dice floated out with a faint light, spinning in the void.
In an instant, the score was settled.
【fourteen. 】
[Greater than fourteen, tracking successful. 】
Track small successes.
[The subtle clues are clearly discernible in your eyes. 】
There were deep and shallow marks on the muddy ground. Under the influence of [Tracking], the child's footprints seemed to have a faint layer of fluorescence and lit up.
Anyone who is not blind can see.
Zheng Xiu followed the "fluorescent footprints" in his field of vision and soon saw the child's back.
【provocative】!
middle!
This time the point swing went extremely smoothly, and I was instantly absorbed.
The child turned his head suddenly and stopped. But her reaction was not as Mr. Zheng expected, rushing up to bite and curse. Instead, she stood there blankly, motionless.
Master Zheng stepped forward and shortened the distance between the two.
"Sorry, I don't mean any harm..."
"You, you, don't come over here." The child raised his head, his disheveled hair revealing his left eye.
Zheng Xiu looked at her, and there was obvious indifference and calmness in the child's eyes, which made Zheng Xiu stunned for a moment.
That look suddenly brought back Zheng Xiu's long-lost memory. In his previous life, Zheng Xiu could only browse pictures on the Internet, and only those children in war-torn areas had such indifferent eyes.
"Go quickly."
The child lowered his head and whispered.
Children of this age cannot argue between male and female, but Zheng Xiu took a few glances and felt that it was more likely to be a girl. He was about to take a few steps closer to close the social distance. Unexpectedly, this approachable behavior made the child frightened and said: "Don't come close to me."
Zheng Xiu stopped and wondered secretly. The critical strike he unleashed must have been a mass kill involving men, women, children, and humans and beasts.
"Don't get me wrong, my name is Zheng...Zheng Shan. I'm passing through your place. I just want to stay for a night and seek peace. I don't mean any harm."
Zheng Xiu showed a harmless smile.
"Feng, Fengbei."
"Feng Feng Bei?"
"...Feng Bei."
"It turns out to be Xiao Fengbei! What a nice name!"
Zheng Xiu thought of the "Feng's Butcher Shop", which seemed to be her home.
"If you don't want to die, just leave."
The child named Feng Bei stretched out his hands to smooth down his disheveled hair and cover his eyes.
"Walk."
Xiao Fengbei was about to leave, but at this time Zheng Xiu was not willing to let go of this obvious clue. For fear of Xiao Fengbei misunderstanding, Zheng Xiu stayed close or far away, deliberately pretending to be ignorant of the dangers of Baili Village. , waffling: "There are bandits running rampant outside, it's dark and windy this month, you'll die if you go out."
Xiao Fengbei shook her head. Soon, she seemed to notice something and lowered her head again.
Zheng Xiu suddenly felt horrified, his [intuition] was triggered, and when he looked back, he saw that the closed village houses had once again opened their cracks, and pairs of hungry eyes were staring at Zheng Xiu.
At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and behind the village chief were several villagers who were also fat and white, holding torches to look for him.
The villagers pointed in the direction of Zheng Xiu from a distance.
The village chief was still followed by Wang Cangyun. When Wang Cangyun and the village chief were drinking fish soup, they heard that an outsider had entered the village.
In fact, Zheng Xiu also knew that Wang Cangyun was not very ruthless and could kill someone.
There was no way to hide. There were many people hiding in the village house. They were all staring at this place. Zheng Xiu could only meet them.
He thought about his lines in advance. This time, Zheng Xiu didn't [provoke] or talk nonsense. He just said that he was attacked by bandits outside. Fortunately, he practiced martial arts on weekdays and escaped. He hid in the jungle and escaped after being chased. , accidentally entered Baili Village.
really.
Wang Cangyun, who was following the village chief, just frowned slightly and quickly relaxed. With his status, he would not kill anyone on sight.
Otherwise, this village would have been slaughtered long ago.
Wang Cangyun carefully looked at Zheng Xiu, and saw that although Zheng Xiu was tall and had an extraordinary temperament, he was not wearing any sharp weapons, and his figure did not look like a sneaky assassin. He only had one thing in mind, leading the fair-skinned boy and his subordinates. , I chose an open wasteland near the entrance of the village and planned to sleep outdoors.
Watching the Treasure King walk away, Zheng Xiu was a little reluctant to leave, so he closed his eyes.
There was a big problem with the identity of Wang Cangyun and the young man, but Zheng Xiu didn't know enough about this world, so it was hard for Zheng Xiu to judge for a while.
It was still hard for him to imagine that this was Daqian.
If it were a local world view, could the child being protected by the imperial commander be an illegitimate son of the emperor?
With speculation, Zheng Xiu, under the arrangement of the village chief, asked the villagers to vacate an empty house and sleep in it.
The bedding in the house exudes a musty smell. Mr. Zheng has not suffered for a long time and is not used to it, so he plans to lay the floor.
After entering the house, Zheng Xiu went through an [Investigation] as usual, and there was nothing unusual.
However, the points were not high. To be on the safe side, Mr. Zheng glanced at the investigation results and checked again himself.
The furniture in the house is old, firewood is piled against the wall, and some farm tools are rusty and can no longer be used.
The paper on the window was newly pasted and intact.
As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't be able to give birth to tiger cubs. Zheng Xiu decided to see where the next death crisis would come from after leaving Commander Wang before making a decision.
He took the opportunity to step in and noticed something strange.
It stands to reason that due to the geographical location of Baili Village, where bandits are rampant and official roads are difficult to access, the villagers should be self-sufficient, so they should grow some crops.
But where Mr. Zheng passed by, although it was dark and couldn't see clearly, the vast stretches of wasteland were empty and had obviously been abandoned for a long time.
This shows that the villagers of Baili Village do not rely on crops to satisfy their hunger.
Thinking of that pot of delicious fish soup, Zheng Xiu secretly thought, could it really be possible to feed the whole village by fishing?
At present, except for Commander Wang, Zheng Xiu has not noticed any other crises in the seemingly peaceful Baili Village.
The village chief and the villagers, all of them with delicate skin and tender flesh, Zheng Xiu could beat ten of them with just force, not to mention Commander Wang.
Thinking of the warning from the child Feng Bei, Zheng Xiu always felt a little uneasy.
Bandits are in power, Baili Village, Carp Meat, Feng's Butcher Shop, Fengbei, and Baipang villagers.
If Zheng Xiu hadn't witnessed the village chief fish out the fish bones from the pot, he would have doubted whether the village was eating white meat.
White meat is another name for human flesh.
I heard that in the era of war and chaos, there were illegal shops on the roadside that specialized in killing and selling the victims to make a living.
When Zheng Xiu was young, Zheng Erniang told him this story vividly as a bedside story. She thought it would scare Zheng Xiu, but unexpectedly Zheng Xiu slept more soundly that night.
But this was more than twenty years ago, before he was born, in troubled times.
At this time.
"Ah sneeze!"
Zheng Xiu noticed something strange in the real prison, and thought that there was no way to stop him here. He couldn't find a place to die for a while, so he simply hung up.
Opening his eyes, Zheng Xiu saw Er Niang standing outside the prison, holding a multi-layer gold-inlaid food box in her left hand, and tightening the collar of her cotton-padded jacket with her right hand.
