out of order cruise ship

The sky is bright, the light of the morning sun shines on the earth, and the clear breeze passes by at dawn. Compared with the village at night, it is called heaven.

This time, Brother Chengfeng and Afeng are preparing breakfast. Of course, the main chef is Xiao Afeng, and Chengfeng is helping.

After the meal was ready, everyone sat on the seats, but compared to yesterday's relaxation, today is much deserted.

Yun Zhi sighed inwardly, quickly settled the breakfast and cleaned up the dishes, and took advantage of the present to review the clues that were not finished at noon yesterday.

He opened the backpack, picked up the book about the paper piercing man, and opened the book.

What puzzles Yun Zhi is that the content inside is more about the tradition and customs of the paper-making people, and it seems to have nothing to do with the ones with words on the side of the book cover, and there is no substantive progress. .

However, when she turned the pages, she found an interesting thing: Although the page number of one sheet echoed the previous page, the mosaic of related text was very strange, giving people a feeling that something was missing in the middle.

Yun Zhi squinted his eyes, rubbed his fingertips on that page, compared this page with the previous ones, and found that this page was a little thicker than the previous ones, more like two pages combined into one the sense of sight.

Yun Zhi scratched the edge of the page from top to bottom, secretly thinking about how to separate this page——two pages into one page, seamlessly.

The most difficult thing is not how to separate it, but how to achieve complete separation without harming the text inside.

Xiaoxiao came in when Yunzhi was having a headache. She saw her boss holding a book in his hand and staring at a page. Read more about the content of the text inside, but when I kept rubbing the edge of the page with my index finger, my head flashed. After thinking for a while, I said to my boss: "Boss, you want to... Pages separated?"

Yun Zhi raised his eyebrows, looked at Lu Xiaoxiao at the side, and asked, "Is there a way?"

Lu Xiaoxiao patted her own chest, showing a little smug look in her eyes, and said to herself, "Of course, who am I, it's a trivial matter! I can return you a whole book in minutes!"

Yun Zhi hooked his lips, smiled, and handed the book to her, but after thinking for a while, he suddenly found that the words on the side of the book and the small side could just form a word 'village', so He hurriedly asked her to look through her backpack, and sent the two pages of the book that were stuck together to be rescued.

Everyone basically ate about the same, seeing Lu Xiaoxiao's busy figure, some of them looked for Lu Xiaoxiao, some of them looked for Yunzhi, and asked what they were doing.

Yun Zhi and the others did not hide it - after all, this matter will not be hidden for long, each of the eight books has one, and there is nothing to hide.

As for Jiang Ya, of course there must be vigilance, but it should not be too deliberate, otherwise the next script will not be so easy to proceed - a player whose level is very likely to exceed E-level, the risk factor in this dungeon is absolutely Occupy a place.

It's just that she doesn't know why she did this?

Is it another task assigned to her by the game?
Or is there something wrong with her?
Or...she came here for this?

The last answer whizzed past Yun Zhi's mind, Yun Zhi clenched his fist secretly and then slowly released it not long after, so that no one could notice his strangeness.

...

Everyone sat around the table, and there was a big basin with clear water on the table. Lu Xiaoxiao glued the two pages together and soaked them quickly, then took them out after about 5 minutes, holding a A very thin piece of wood was gently cut along one corner of the paper. When the two pages were separated a little, hold the two pages at that corner with both hands, and separate them little by little.

This kind of process made the players watching on the scene hold their breath, almost motionless just to watch this miracle.

After about ten minutes, the two pages of Yunzhi's book were completely separated. After the result, Yunzhi put it in the courtyard, separating the two pages that were soaked, waiting for the paper to be dried Dry.

So Lu Xiaoxiao repeated this eight times, and the speed was slowly reduced from the first ten minutes to the current five or six minutes. This kind of efficiency can be said to be very fast.

While putting the eight books to dry in the yard, the little monk Afeng took advantage of this and almost made a sweet soup and passed it to Lu Xiaoxiao. She finally smiled at Afeng gratefully, thanked him but did not refuse.

After Afeng put the sweet water in her hand, he pursed his lips, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Yun Zhi rubbed his chin, looked at Lu Xiaoxiao and then at Afeng, his smile gradually deepened.

However, nothing happened to the other two parties, but anyone with a discerning eye can find that their relationship is much closer than yesterday.

After removing the basin on the table, everyone tacitly took out the contents of their respective backpacks. The candles and matches were in Chunjiao's backpack, and Chunjiao took out some and handed them to the boy.

As for the picture of the relevant paper-making tutorial, it came from Cheng Xiao. He spread it on the desktop. Each detailed practice, and among them are explained together with pictures and texts, which made everyone somewhat relieved.

Yun Zhi browsed through it briefly from top to bottom. Although the process is roughly the same as that of the old village chief, there are some differences in the handling of details, and the biggest difference is mainly in the process of applying paint to the paper stick figures. that aspect.

When the old village chief painted the five senses first, then the body, but in this tutorial picture, the body was painted first, and the five senses were painted last. When drawing the five senses, the eyes were left at the end, but in the last stroke, he used a A thin silver needle pierced two small openings to serve as eyes—but in the hands of the old village head, it was dyed with a very thin wooden branch with some black paint.

Thinking of this, Yun Zhi frowned deeply - why didn't she notice the weirdness in it at the time?
But... wooden branches?
It's the tree in the village chief's yard!
That cypress tree!

Thinking of this, Yun Zhi squinted his eyes, cypress trees are not a thing that can be planted in one's own yard at will!

In the past, or in the present days, cypress trees are generally planted beside the graves to enshrine thoughts and exorcise evil spirits.

hiss--

Few people may care about this kind of superstition in their place, but where is it here?Is it a copy of the game that reshape the world view—or a copy of the horror version, this cypress tree will give people a sense of foreboding if you look left and right?
