suddenly.
There was a commotion in the crowd, and an old man squeezed out of the crowd.
"Old Zheng!"
Everyone greeted each other.
Elder Zheng smiled and cupped his hands, then sighed: "There has been drought year after year, and there has been no harvest, and more and more people are fleeing."
"Hey...we can't even eat enough for ourselves, how can we manage these outsiders!"
"It's gone, let them perish on their own." The pedestrian shook his head and left the street with a sigh.
Only Mr. Zheng stayed behind, and cupped his hands towards the wild ghost hunters: "Everyone, my son is getting married today, if you don't mind, you can go to my house to help, and the meal is enough."
Frightened faces appeared on the faces of several ghost hunters, and they ran away rolling and crawling.
Elder Zheng didn't chase after him, but shook his head and sighed, and left the intersection.
Seeing this scene, Yu Wenxuan's eyes moved slightly.
"It's still the same day, but it's not the same day!"
"What do you mean?" Huang You looked at Yu Wenxuan suspiciously.
Yu Wenxuan stared at the disappearing back of the old man, and said slowly: "Without our intervention, these people would repeat the life of the previous day, but if we interact with the people here, then what they did would be the same as before. There will be a difference, except that on a new day they will forget us again."
"But here, two things haven't changed in any way: wedding receptions and funerals."
Hearing this, Huang You's eyes gradually lit up.
"That is to say, if we compare this place to a game, then everyone in Xishan Town is an NPC, but here is more real. What the residents of Xishan Town say are not scripts designed in advance, but will be based on Different people and things have different reactions?"
"Correct!"
Yu Wenxuan nodded: "So I think the key to leaving here is the wedding and the funeral!"
Hearing this, there was a glimmer of hope in everyone's eyes.
Not bad.
For five full days, after they discovered that the people here would not launch an attack, they also used various methods to try to get clues from these people to leave.
But those people just looked at them like they were crazy.
Even drove them away.
And these five days, they didn't find anything.
The wedding feast and the funeral have never changed.
"I squatted at the door of the wedding banquet for a long time before, but I didn't feel anything special."
Zhan Yu just finished speaking.
Kong Hai on the side also frowned and said: "I followed the funeral, but I saw that they buried the coffin in the suburbs and then came back. It seems that there is nothing special about it."
The scene fell into silence again.
suddenly.
"Have!"
Daoist Wuwei gazed into the distance with his tired eyes, and said slowly: "On the wedding night in the bridal chamber, when the gold list is inscribed, there will be rain after a long drought, and an old friend in a foreign land."
Huang You looked suspiciously: "Four joys in life?"
Daoist Wuwei nodded: "Zheng Lang was named on the gold list, and married Liu's wife, and Mr. Zheng is not from Xishan Town. Today's wedding banquet invited old friends from his hometown."
The long drought meets the rain, and Taoist Wuwei didn't explain it.
But after so many days of rain, how could everyone not think of it?
Yu Wenxuan pondered for a while, and said, "A young man loses his parents, a middle-aged man loses his spouse, an old man loses his only son, a few sons have no good teachers, the Song family corresponds to the four tragedies in life."
All four members of the family died.
But for the child, the loss of a parent is, for the child's father, the loss of a spouse.
For the elderly, it is the loss of their only son.
And from the conversations of pedestrians, it can also be heard.
The children had no good teachers to guide them.
This explanation seems far-fetched, but it echoes the Zheng family's Six Happiness.
It is very likely to be the key to breaking the game.
"On the same day, the two families were in completely opposite situations, but they gathered all four joys and four sorrows in life. There must be some intersection among them." Yu Wenxuan analyzed clearly.
"Huang You, come with me to the wedding banquet. Minister Zhan, the three of you are going to the funeral. Remember to listen carefully to everyone's conversations to see if there are any new clues."
"it is good!"
Chapter 158 In a disaster year, human life is the least valuable
Under Yu Wenxuan's arrangement, Huang You and Zhan Yu acted quickly.
Daoist Wuwei also led Qingtong and the others to follow.
not far away.
The two ghost hunters, one tall and one short, glanced at each other.
"The official ghost hunter seems to have found out."
"Come and have a look."
"it is good."
The originally noisy street corner became quiet again because a group of people left, but no one noticed that Qin Feng kept staring at the end of the long street.
He finally remembered what he had overlooked.
Official!
Not only Qin Feng, everyone ignored it.
Because of what happened before, everyone subconsciously didn't want to conflict with the government officials, and even didn't want to see the officials from the government government again.
But Qin Feng's situation is different.
He didn't have that kind of subconscious behavior.
He felt that there should be some rules here.
Or something is affecting him, making him unconsciously ignore the most important existence in Xishan Town: the government!
The government can be said to be the protector of a place, or it can be said to be the ruler of a place.
This also means.
The government can not only make rules, but also change the rules here.
As the saying goes:
The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it is better for the county magistrate to take care of it now.
That's it.
Although Qin Feng is not yet sure whether it is the Zheng and Song families or the government that unlocked this place.
But he still decided to go to the government to take a look.
……
Zheng family.
"Woo woo woo..." Accompanied by the beating of gongs and drums, the sound of suona was played happily.
Many people surrounded the gate of the Zheng family.
Even passers-by stopped to congratulate Mr. Zheng.
"congratulations!"
"Brother Li, thank you so much for coming all the way here. Hurry up and sit down." Elder Zheng stood at the door of Zheng's house with a red face, greeting the guests with a smile.
Yu Wenxuan and Huang You looked at each other.
Walking quickly to the gate of Zheng's house, Huang You smiled and bowed to Mr. Zheng: "Mr. Zheng, we are from other places, so I wonder if we can ask for a meal?"
"Outsider?"
Mr. Zheng looked the two of them up and down, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the back kitchen is short of people, Zheng Liu, you take them to the back kitchen."
"Yes."
A middle-aged man who looked ferocious came over and waved at the two of them: "Follow me."
Huang You and Yu Wenxuan quickly followed behind the middle-aged man.
As soon as you enter the back kitchen, you will be greeted by the aroma of vegetables.
As soon as the two looked up, they saw a lot of people crowded in the yard, and there were many middle-aged women in coarse linen clothes, carrying trays with dishes.
"Hurry up, the wedding is about to begin, and these dishes must be delivered to the front hall as soon as possible."
A woman in her 30s was speaking loudly, for fear of delaying her business.
The others didn't speak, and walked past Huang You and Yu Wenxuan with their plates expressionless.
The two shrugged their noses and swallowed unconsciously.
How can dry food have these aromas?
"Don't look, you two, hurry up and chop the firewood over there. When the wedding banquet is over, the master will reward you with a bite of food."
Zheng Liu glanced at the two with some disgust, then turned and left.
Huang You and Yu Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Although the dishes look extremely tempting, who would dare to eat the food here?
Unless you are really not afraid of death.
"boom!"
Huang You chopped the firewood in half with an axe, then looked up at the direction of the front hall: "Are we just spending time here? We can't get any information here."
Hearing this, Yu Wenxuan also frowned.
Originally, they wanted to sneak in and listen to what the guests had to say, but they were sent directly to the back kitchen.
The people in the back kitchen are busy and non-stop, and no one pays attention to them at all.
Even if they stay here for a day, they probably won't gain anything.
"Go to the front hall to have a look." Yu Wenxuan took a careful look at the busy crowd, pretending to be nonchalantly chopping firewood, and when he saw the crowd went to the front hall with their plates.
He quickly winked at Huang You.
The two walked cautiously towards the front hall one by one, but halfway there they found that they were lost.
The Zheng family is a high-rise compound, and the back kitchen is far away from the front hall.
The long corridors spread all over the compound, which looked the same inside and out, without much difference.
Without Zheng Liu leading the way, they didn't even know where they were going.
"What should we do now?" Huang You stared nervously at the surroundings. If someone found them running around, they might be caught as thieves.
Once the government is alarmed, it will be troublesome.
Yu Wenxuan also frowned: "Go ahead, if it's really impossible, let's climb over the wall and get out."
"it is good."
The two continued to walk forward cautiously.
suddenly.
The two pupils shrank.
