Handing Women’s Clothes To the Escape Game BOSS

Chapter 45: Lonely Village by the River (11)

Jiang Xiuxiu fell asleep quickly, and in the dream, all kinds of bizarre pictures spread.

There were not so many villagers who could not see their faces before, there were no noisy noises, and there were no red scenes everywhere.

Like a normal person, she had many vague dreams.

Sometimes she dreamed of the scene where she was studying by herself in high school. At that time, she was a carefree student. She didn't have to worry about the future every day, and her happiness was very simple.

Sometimes, she dreamed that she had left the game, away from all the people she didn't want to see, looking at the countless 0 balances on her bank card, and waiting for milk tea leisurely in the dessert shop.

She forgot that she was in the game, and she also forgot all the deeds in reality.

Jiang Xiuxiu in the dream did not know that he was dreaming.

She just knew she was happy, carefree, and very comfortable.

But I don't know how long it took, when Jiang Xiuxiu was still immersed in the dream, those scenes scattered one by one.

In the end, I don't know what happened, those scenes of pus and pus were intertwined and intertwined, and finally turned into a scene from a long, long time ago——

That was when her college entrance examination was over and she was about to go to university.

At the time, she made an appointment with her best friend to meet at a dessert shop.

Because they were admitted to different universities, and the geographical location of the school was even more remote, they thought that they might not see each other for a lifetime in the future, so they planned to come out for the last time before going to the school to report.

In fact, Jiang Xiuxiu rarely recalled this matter.

The university classes were too busy, new friends and new troubles caught her off guard, and gradually, she seldom reminisced about the past.

But somehow, she was able to get to it tonight.

And the scene in the dream was unexpectedly clear.

"Time flies so fast... In the blink of an eye, we're going to be separated."

Under the warm and lovely light yellow light of the dessert shop, the girl with a ponytail and neat bangs was sitting opposite Jiang Xiuxiu and said softly to her.

In fact, Jiang Xiuxiu could barely remember the girl's face, but she could still remember the tone of the girl when she said this.

"Yeah," Jiang Xiuxiu's heart was slightly sour, and she also sighed with emotion, "I really, really miss you."

Even though she was still sleeping at this time, Jiang Xiuxiu could feel her helplessness and pain in the dream, as if she had returned to that point in time after many years.

But people always have to move forward, and no matter how reluctant they are, they must be separated.

They used to be so close that they always stick together after class, but now, even in a dream, she can't see each other's face clearly.

"Since you don't want to be separated, then stay with me, okay?"

However, when Jiang Xiuxiu was feeling uncomfortable, the friend on the opposite side suddenly said such a sentence.

stay with me, okay?

Wait, isn't that a bit wrong?

Jiang Xiuxiu was slightly taken aback when she heard this.

And the next second, she saw that the girl sitting in front of her had suddenly turned into a man!

Still a... quite handsome man.

With the appearance of this man, a white fog suddenly appeared in her dream.

Immediately afterwards, the dessert shop filled with warm orange-yellow light around her disappeared.

In front of her eyes, the dilapidated and desolate royal family that was exactly the same as reality appeared again.

Jiang Xiuxiu was stunned to find that he was standing outside the yard.

And standing opposite her was exactly Xu Bai.

The young man in the red delicate robe slightly tilted his head and smiled at Jiang Xiuxiu.

Against the background of the long black hair, his handsome face became paler and paler, with only a pair of black eyes, and a dark glow of strange excitement jumped.

"I found you." He said with a small smile.

--Got you.

The moment he heard this sentence, Jiang Xiuxiu suddenly woke up.

The moonlight outside poured into the room through the broken window, making her face pale.

She actually dreamed of Xu Bai... She dreamed of Xu Bai again.

What happened to him? Could it be that he knew that he was in the Wang family?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiuxiu's heart skipped a beat!

Without further ado, she got up immediately and glanced outside.

At this glance, Jiang Xiuxiu realized that there were already a bunch of people standing outside the Wang family!

They gathered outside Wang's house at some point, and countless people were still carrying outdated kerosene lamps.

She glanced quickly through the broken window, and could see countless bright orange dots and the indifferent faces of the villagers.

Oops, the villagers found her!

Seeing this, Jiang Xiuxiu turned around and fled to the back door of the yard without thinking about it.

But there were twenty or thirty people standing outside.

Jiang Xiuxiu wanted to escape, but all the doors that could go out were blocked by them.

Seeing that the front, back, left, and right exits were blocked, Jiang Xiuxiu's eyes flashed slightly, and he returned to the room.

If she runs away now, it's very likely that she won't be able to escape... She might as well make preparations for being caught,

She hurried to the kitchen, found a knife hidden in her cuff, and clenched her fist to cover it.

After doing this, she shrunk back into the corner of the kitchen cabinet.

It is impossible to fight, and we can only look forward to it, they can't find themselves.

At this time, because no one had squatted out, many villagers had already entered the house and started searching.

Jiang Xiuxiu closed her eyes tightly, listening to the footsteps outside the cabinet, she hardly dared to breathe.

It wasn't until the footsteps outside gradually faded away that Jiang Xiuxiu dared to move twice.

She opened her eyes, secretly pushed open a gap, and glanced outside.

...The next second, she and a villager looked at each other.

The villagers held a lamp and looked at her blankly.

Jiang Xiuxiu: "..."

Jiang Xiuxiu: "...Hi?"

And then... no more.

Without struggling too fast, she was caught again by the villagers.

This time, the villagers tied ropes to her feet and wrists to prevent her from escaping.

Jiang Xiuxiu was carried into the sedan chair in desperation, and with her were two female players.

After that, the sedan chair shook slightly and was lifted up.

In the sedan chair, Jiang Xiuxiu looked around and closed his eyes.

She took a deep breath and pressed down her uneasy heart.

No, she can't give up completely.

As long as she thinks about it seriously, she can always find a way to break the situation, especially since she also got the important information left by Wang Xiaoyue just now.

Thinking of this, she seized the time, and while using the knife to cut the ropes on her hands and feet, she carefully recalled the plot in "Ximen Leopard Governs Ye".

According to the content of the text, Ximen Bao's way of dealing with the river **** is also very simple, that is, before the bride is about to be thrown into the water, he declares that the girls who are chosen as the wife of the river **** are not beautiful enough, and asks to choose a new bride.

Then, with the excuse of "please tell the river **** for me", he asked his subordinates to throw the witch and the town officials into the water.

When Jiang Xiuxiu first saw this story, she was actually a little puzzled.

Because according to the background of the story in the Chinese textbook, the river **** does not exist.

After Ximen Bao drowned the witches and village officials who came to harm people in the name of the river god, the people saw through the deception and knew that the river **** did not exist, so naturally they would no longer believe in the river god.

But in this game, the river god, that is, Xu Bai, is real.

In this case, can the same method still work?

Jiang Xiuxiu had some doubts about this.

However, since Wang Xiaoyue insists that this story can restrain the river god, then there must be her reason for this.

Jiang Xiuxiu thought, aside from other matters, the meaning of this story to convey to the players is already very obvious.

It wants players to imitate Ximen Leopard and throw "Witches" and "Country Officials" into the water to kill them.

In this dungeon, the person who can have the identities of "witch" and "township official" is obviously the village head, and it is the black-robed old man who prayed to Xu Bai!

Why did Wang Xiaoyue kill him?

It may be because he is the leader of this group of villagers, but it is more likely that he is the only existence in this group of people who can communicate with Xu Bai.

Jiang Xiuxiu pondered that Wang Xiaoyue wanted the players to get rid of the old man in black robe, probably for this reason.

After getting rid of the leader of this superstitious gang, the rest of the villagers and the rest of the villagers should be able to solve the situation gradually.

But the question is... She is bound now, how can she throw the black-robed old man into the water?

It was her who was going to be thrown!

While Jiang Xiuxiu was still thinking, the sedan chair had already been carried to the bank of the river.

The cold and damp wind poured in through the curtain, causing the players inside to shiver uncontrollably.

The time has come.

Through the gap in the curtain, Jiang Xiuxiu could see that the villagers outside stood solemnly in a row, waiting for the old man in black robe to perform the ceremony.

No, she can't sit still!

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiuxiu quickly called out loudly: "Wait a minute, I have something to say!"

After hearing her voice, the villagers forgot to come.

The black-robed old man also stopped his movements and looked gloomily at Jiang Xiuxiu.

Jiang Xiuxiu raised his head and looked at the old man in black robe.

And the next second, she heard the merciless order of the black-robed old man: "Go, and gag her mouth too."

Jiang Xiuxiu: "..."

Jiang Xiuxiu: Hello! ?

"I have something to say, I dreamed about the river **** yesterday! I... uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

The old man in black robe was obviously trying to gain wisdom, and without giving Jiang Xiuxiu much time to refute, he blocked her mouth with a cloth.

After doing all this, the black-robed old man returned to the shore and continued his ritual.

When they came in, because it was too dark and Jiang Xiuxiu pretended to be tied up, the old man in black robe didn't notice that the ropes had all been cut by Jiang Xiuxiu.

After the old man in the black robe left, she angrily took the cloth out of her mouth, realizing that this time, she probably couldn't use her mouth to escape.

If that's the case, then she might just run again.

No matter what, she has to survive.

After surviving, she has a chance to make a comeback and kill the old man in black robe.

Thinking of this, she secretly stood up when no one else was paying attention.

She walked out gently along the back curtain, then stuck her head slightly to see what the villagers were doing.

At this time, the black-robed old man was still standing facing the river, muttering some dialects that she could not understand.

The other villagers stood in the back orderly, bowed their heads reverently, and did not glance at the sedan chair.

They probably thought that no matter how powerful Jiang Xiuxiu was, with his hands and feet bound, he would not escape again.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiuxiu took a few steps back, turned and was about to escape.

This time, she still followed the previous routine and secretly threw a small stone towards the area behind the villagers to attract their attention.

When the villagers were startled by the sound of the stones falling and glanced back, she took advantage of their negligence and threw away their cumbersome coats, ready to try to rush up the mountain.

"Wait a minute, there's someone there!"

At this moment, a villager suddenly screamed out.

His hand pointed to the reef behind the river bank, and there, a figure was standing.

Hearing what he said, other people's eyes suddenly shifted.

Even Jiang Xiuxiu, who seized the opportunity to escape, glanced curiously in that direction.

This glance made Jiang Xiuxiu stunned.

She knew this person.

It's Ye Ming!

Jiang Xiuxiu looked along the source of the sound, and saw Ye Ming standing on the reef, looking at the villagers below from a distance.

He seems to have just arrived here, and is in a curious wait-and-see state.

He held a flashlight in his hand, and the bright light was so obvious in the dark night that everyone's attention was involuntarily shifted.

There was no one behind him, but he stood on it naturally.

It was as if... he was just taking a walk along the way.

What is he doing here?

Jiang Xiuxiu was slightly startled, and then realized that he might have come to save himself.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiuxiu suddenly burst into joy!

At this time, the behavior of the people around stopped, and Ye Ming's eyes were attracted.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she stopped hiding, raised her skirt and ran to the side.

"what you up to?"

On the other side, after recognizing Ye Ming, the black-robed old man asked slowly.

He seemed to have sensed something from Ye Ming's fearless attitude, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were pressing the other side tightly.

Others were also infected by him, all of them looked serious, and looked at Ye Ming in disbelief.

"I just want to tell you that instead of wasting time here, you might as well go back to the village and take a look at your home."

In front of so many people, Ye Ming chuckled and replied.

Villager's home?

Could it be that other players have done something?

After hearing Ye Ming's words, Jiang Xiuxiu's footsteps slowed down slightly, subconsciously speculating.

She's been out of the team for so long, she doesn't know what the rest of the players think or what they'll do.

If they would gather together and try to resist the villagers, it seems to make sense.

After Ye Ming's voice fell, the villagers realized that something was wrong.

They also heard the subtext in Ye Ming's words, and many people's expressions changed.

"Throw the bride into the river first, and take a look at it when we return to the village." After a while, the old man in black robe made his final decision, "The River God is very tolerant and won't mind that our ceremony is too rushed."

Among the villagers, the words of the black-robed old man were almost equal to the imperial edict.

After listening to this sentence, the others nodded, and their eyes returned to the sedan chair.

...At this time, many villagers found that not far from the sedan chair, there was a woman in a white single shirt who was running.

"She ran away again!" someone exclaimed, "Go and catch her!"

Jiang Xiuxiu: "..."

No, this delay is too short! ?

Jiang Xiuxiu was a little broken, but she didn't have time to complain.

This is her only chance to escape, she can't let it go!

Fortunately, she has been fleeing for a while, not far from the reef.

She moved towards Ye Ming's location and rushed over quickly.

"Stretch out." On the way to run, she heard Ye Ming say this.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiuxiu quickly stretched out his arms.

Pulled by Ye Ming, she stood on the reef not long after.
