Players Please Get In the Car

Xu Huo turned around to see the elder brother of the girl with big braids. He was holding an ax in his hand, and his eyes swept over the stone sculpture at his feet, "Xiaoyun said you want to buy sculptures, come with me."

Xu Huo didn't refuse either, and followed him out of the woods.

The two brothers and sisters lived near the station, and they had to cross the street to get out from the woods. Just like when they came yesterday, many households were either open-minded or hiding in the dark to observe outsiders.

There are also some players living in the homestay outside, even if they wear the same clothes, they can be distinguished from the lifeless local residents at a glance.

When passing by a family's house, there was a sound of crying and begging for mercy. An old man was kicked into the yard, and a tall man could be seen vaguely holding a little girl on the table through the half-closed door.

The surrounding residents closed their doors one after another. Xu Huo noticed that Xiaoyun's brother was holding the ax tightly. He stepped into the yard and let "Swift" out.

The swallow-like black blade swirled and shot into the house, and the continuous attack forced the player out. The player retreated to the yard, saw Xu Huo and sneered, kicked his feet and shot towards him, and at the same time, a hand appeared The machete swept across his throat!

Xu Huo stood still, stopped people with "same-sex repulsion", and held up "danger makes people blind". When the player who was pushed three meters away looked up, he inevitably saw his own eyes in the small mirror , and then the eyes lost their luster.

Just when Xu Huo was about to finish him off, a sticky rubber prop like a child's toy flew from outside the courtyard, wrapped him up and pulled him out!

Xu Huo turned around, and saw another player who had never seen him supporting his blind companion and said, "You can't gain the upper hand in two-on-one."

Xu Huo's energy was not very good, so he didn't intend to entangle with them for the time being, so he said: "It's really shameful to bully the old and weak, women and children, and I won't break up with you, just go by yourself, or I will call the police."

There are no state agencies such as administrative offices and police stations in this county, and this is in the dungeon. Players prefer to use force to solve problems, and they would never think of calling the police. So when Xu Huo said this, the opposite party The two players looked incredible.

"What are you doing!" Yi Pei came from not far away, and quickly walked to Xu Huo's side to stand in line.

The two players left angrily, Xu Huo turned back to help the old man lying on the ground, the other party stared at him and shrank his hand, and he reluctantly got up and thanked him dryly.

Yi Pei comforted the little girl inside before coming out, and said helplessly, "Some people are really beasts."

Regardless of whether in the game or outside the game, the weak are vulnerable to bullying, regardless of gender, but women are weaker in physical fitness, which happens to be the target of those bullies.

"Only with this little ability," Xu Huo said, "They don't have the guts to let them attack the strong."

Xiaoyun's elder brother next to him showed disgust, and said in a blunt tone: "Do you still want to buy something? If not, I'll leave."

Of course Xu Huo wanted to buy it, and after giving the old man several hundred bills, he and Yi Pei went to Xiaoyun's house.

Xiaoyun was cooking lunch, and when he saw them, he warmly greeted them and invited them to eat fresh wild fruits.

Xiaoyun's elder brother returned to the house and brought out a basket of wooden carvings and threw them on the ground, "You pick them yourself."

After speaking, he sat in the yard and continued to carve the unfinished woodcarving with a carving knife.

The wood carvings in the basket are very delicate, unlike the wood carvings seen in other people's homes, brother Xiaoyun's wood carving eyes are very realistic.

This is not a technical difference, but that except for Brother Xiaoyun, everyone else has chosen to blur the eyes of the woodcarving.

People in the county are very taboo about "eyes".

"Can I use the bathroom?" Xu Huo asked Xiaoyun.

Xiaoyun pointed out the location for him.

He stepped into the bathroom, a simple squatting toilet, a small sink with towels hanging beside it, and a wooden shelf nailed above the sink for toiletries.

After standing in the bathroom for a while, Xu Huo washed his hands and went out.

Yi Pei has already picked out the woodcarving he wants to buy, and indicates to him to buy it and leave.

Xu Huo saw that there was a wooden portable makeup mirror inside, and opened the opening to the outside. He reached in and touched it with his finger before flipping it open, "This one is well made, and it happens that I have children at home...why isn't there a mirror inside?"

"My brother only does carpentry." Xiaoyun brought them water, "and now many girls think that the cosmetic mirrors made of wood are not foreign, and no one buys them. If you want, I can give you some."

"I'm going to stay here for a few more days, how about this, I'll order a batch of wooden mirrors, can you help me install the mirrors?" Xu Huo said.

Xiaoyun looked at him in embarrassment, "We won't be able to get so many mirrors in a while, and we don't plan to go out recently."

Xu Huo put down the wooden mirror frame with a smile, "Then I will order less, and I will install the mirror myself, but the price must be given a discount."

Xiaoyun happily agreed, and went to take out all the stocks. Xu Huo also picked out some other gadgets. Before leaving, he asked Xiaoyun which one would go out to buy things.

"Others are going to buy some daily necessities. If you really want it, you can ask the hotel's big brother. He sometimes runs errands for the guests."

Xu Huo thanked them and left. After walking a long way, he still saw Xiaoyun standing at the door and waving at them.

"Why do you keep asking about the mirror?" Yi Pei lowered his voice and said, "You go to the bathroom because you want to see if there is a mirror in his house."

"The few houses I visited today didn't have mirrors. Don't you think this is a strange phenomenon?" Xu Huo asked back.

Yi Pei touched the voice recorder in his pocket, "But the hotel has a mirror."

"This dungeon is called the common eye, at least it has something to do with the eyes. The handicrafts sold in the county are very good in workmanship, but they don't work hard on the eyes. Every household doesn't use mirrors. There is a car passing by here every day. I want to buy some mirrors. It’s not difficult, and there’s no need to push back and forth.”

"Judging from these small things, the residents in the county may be avoiding 'eyes'."

"Avoid eyes?" Yi Pei frowned, "But they don't seem to avoid other people's gaze. If they are so taboo that they don't even want to use a mirror, they certainly won't be willing to look directly into other people's eyes. This is a bit contradictory."

Xu Huo glanced at her, "This is just a small detail, maybe it has something to do with local customs. What do you gain?"

"There is nothing special to pay attention to. The only weird thing is that these people don't seem to know much about the local religion. There are no festivals, and the house does not seem to worship gods. They are obviously wary of outsiders, but they really want guests to live there."

The two had a brief exchange and then returned to the hotel. After Tian Kunwen and the three returned, they gathered in Fu Danhong's room to exchange information.

"They made offerings to the gods." Tian Kunwen said, "In the bedroom."
