Use your skills to become a god in the infinite game

Chapter 48 Qingshi Town (4)

"I have already told Butler Yu about this. He is also an old man in the town and knows all the rules."

"We understand." The young man in a gray short shirt sitting next to the short-haired man responded.

"Why do we have to use peach wood nails in this town?" the short-haired man asked again.

Xie Jinshou waved his hand and said in a serious tone, "This is how the rules are passed down. You juniors don't have so many reasons. Just follow them."

Peach wood nails can ward off evil, Jiang Qi thought thoughtfully. Under normal circumstances, who would use this thing to ward off their relatives?
"Daughter, the last time I saw you was five years ago." The aunt at the same table looked at Jiang Qi and said familiarly, "You were still young at that time, and you have become even more beautiful after not seeing anyone for several years."

Jiang Qibing nodded.

"Is this your friend from the provincial capital? I heard he works in a newspaper?" The aunt turned to Fang Yuan again and praised him without hesitation, "You are young and promising. You can tell he is a well-educated person at first glance."

Fang Yuan didn't know what the other party meant yet, so he wanted to find out if his sister Qi was married, but it was difficult to say directly in this situation.

"No, no, I'm not qualified yet. Jiang Qi's position in the newspaper office is one level higher than mine, and the boss plans to send her to study abroad."

The implication is, don't worry about those men in the family who practice feudal ethics. It's better to take a rest and eat seriously.

Who wants Sister Qi to abide by those rules? She can set fire to it and burn the house and people to ashes with a smile.

At the end of dinner, there was a sudden sound of breaking porcelain at another table, followed by everyone's exclamations.

Jiang Qi saw a man falling to the ground, with bowls and wine glasses smashed into several pieces. The man next to him was squatting and calling urgently. He was motionless with his mouth open, and the expression on his face was very frightened.

"Second uncle, second uncle! What's wrong with you? Come to the doctor quickly! Hurry!"

The town's medical center was not far away. The boy at home quickly led people through the door, passed the crowd of onlookers and came to the second uncle of the Xie family.

The doctor first felt for his pulse, then opened his eyelids to take a look. Then he stood up, sighed and shook his head, "It's already gone."

"How could he be dead?" The people at the same table looked flustered and in disbelief.

"What happened?" Xie Jinshou stood up and asked the people at the table seriously.

His calm voice stopped the surrounding conversations. The two white lanterns at the entrance of the mourning hall were tilted by the cold wind. The boy closest to Second Uncle Xie was frightened, "No, I don't know, Second Uncle, he suddenly fell down. "

"I had a good meal, so I said I would like to toast my second uncle."

Another man hesitated and said, "I don't know what happened, but the second uncle suddenly looked over there and didn't speak, and then..."

The direction he pointed was in the middle of the mourning hall, under the half-burned candle on the left.

There were only straws for those who came to worship, flickering candles on the meals and porcelain bowls provided for the deceased, and a shadow reflected in the white cloth covering Mr. Xie's body.

No one knows why the second uncle of the Xie family looked there and died with horror on his face.

Or it should be said that no one knows what he saw at the last moment of his life.

When this happened, the guests present felt a little uncomfortable, and no one had the intention to sit down and continue eating.

Several young people carried the body of my second uncle back together, and the remaining people also said goodbye and left.Soon, another family in Qingshi Town hung up a white lantern, and plaintive cries could be heard intermittently throughout the night, but if you listened carefully, it seemed to be accompanied by childish and sharp laughter.

The lively Xie Mansion suddenly became deserted, and the draft in the hall made people feel chilly.

Except for a few main tables, the uneaten dishes on the remaining tables were basically packed away, and the servants and hired help cleared the tables together.

Half an hour later, everyone who was supposed to leave the mansion and go home left. Butler Yu, who had been busy all day, also went back to his room to rest. The mansion became completely silent, like a huge tomb.

Jiang Qi took advantage of the time to go back to the room to tidy up, and exchanged information with Fang Yuan.

She was not an immediate relative, and in such a town that valued incense, important matters were not her turn. During the day, when she was not folding and burning paper money in the mourning hall, she just recognized various NPC relatives here.

Fang Yuan drew tea on his fingers and drew the main streets of Qingshi Town on the table.

"Here are shops and roadside stalls, and further south is the ancestral hall. It is only open for ancestor worship and important events in the town. This town is indeed wealthy, with teahouses and shops."

"There is a river to the east. An old NPC said not to go there at night. When I asked why, he only said that people had drowned in the river, and the water ghosts would catch them alternately."

Fang Yuan recalled, "By the way, I also saw two stone chastity archways on the road. The carvings were very fine. The one more recently was erected more than 100 years ago."

Hearing this, Jiang Qi leaned back and said, "The archway you saw is related to several well-known families in Qingshi Town?"

Fang Yuan was not surprised at all when Jiang Qineng guessed, "In those days, wealthy families used this as a comparison. Having a well-bred woman in the family was an honor, and there were preferential tax treatment, and it was also regarded as the merit of local officials."

Jiang Qi: "I will go to the mourning hall tonight. You stay in the room and see if there is anything abnormal."

"Okay." Fang Yuan took a deep breath and mentally built himself up.

There is nothing to be afraid of, there are no physical things, just monsters that can attack mentally!
When Jiang Qi went out, Fang Yuan stopped her again, "Sister Qi, that person died of eating on the mat for no apparent reason. It's still a crowded time, so be careful."

Jiang Qi nodded, "I am measured."

-

Guest room in the outer courtyard of the mansion.

Guo Yuda, who had short hair, tore off the white cloth from his body and threw it on the table. "This copy is a bit interesting."

"Those people probably came here for the first pass." Mo Shouliang, who was wearing a short shirt, put his right foot on his left leg, with a determined look on his face, "I saw Wang Yue during the day, and he was alone. "

"We are stuck in entering the dungeon instantly, and the teams that are demolished can only blame their bad luck." Cao Lang sighed insincerely,

"I have heard some news that whoever is close to the dead person is the most dangerous. More than one person will die tonight. Let the man named Xie An carry the mourning hall for two days. We will get the clues and then deal with them."

Mo Shouliang smiled, "Wang Yue has no one to cooperate with him. His combat power has to be cut off. He can only be beaten by us. As for the remaining two, I don't know where they came from. Not higher than us.”

"One thing I find a little strange, Shou Liang, didn't you just say that whoever is a filial son has the highest combat power? We have never heard of Xie An's name. Shouldn't this persona belong to Wang Yue?" Cao Cao Long said.

"The corpse in the mourning hall has this surname. Whoever claims the status of a dutiful son will be named by this name. Didn't Yuda and I change our surnames in the game because of our status as relatives?"
