Absurd Deduction Game

After assigning the tasks, Yu Xing swept the room where he was at extremely fast speed.

As he expected, he found clues left by the "previous stayers" in some nooks and crannies.

For example, under the bed, he touched a piece of dusty paper with "Escape" written on it; another example was that under the wooden table in the house, he carved a sentence with a knife -

 Don't believe her.

Yu Xing’s search skills are maxed out, and it’s instinctive to find the easiest place to hide information at a glance.

 He ​​ran his fingers under the wooden table and touched the uneven marks, then squatted down and saw the writing.

"Don't believe her..." Yu Xing squatted half-crouched, his eyes falling on the knife marks left at an unknown time. Although the characters carved by the knife were messy, each stroke was very straight, which was enough to show the strength of the carver.

 Perhaps this was left in a state of extreme fear.

 In the entire deserted house, the only person who can be referred to as "she" is a young girl who has not been seen yet.

After confirming this, Yu Xing opened the cabinet again and found a package in the corner.

The package was tied with a piece of intact linen cloth, the kind that people carried on their shoulders in ancient times. It seemed that this was luggage that had been forgotten by someone and not taken away.

A light layer of dust had accumulated on the package. It had not been touched for an unknown period of time. Yu Xing opened it. Inside were several pieces of washed-out clothes, a money bag, and a book.

The money bag was heavy, but there wasn't much money in it. It was all copper coins, and it rattled when I shook it.

“…” Yu Xing silently put the money bag into his pocket.

 What if, what if it is useful.

He hid the copper coins from his predecessors and opened the book again.

Looking at this, Yu Xing couldn't help but become a little interested, leaning on the cabinet and turning the pages slowly.

 As expected, this is a "diary"—an ancient version.

  The handwriting written with the brush has long dried up, but the font is very delicate, which makes Yu Xing's mind appear in the image of a poor scholar.

 The interesting point is that this "diary" perfectly inherits the groove of a must-write diary in horror games. It uses the image of a war reporter in deep danger to record the three days and three nights the diary owner spent in a deserted house.

 The vertical records had no punctuation, so Yu Xing read them a little slowly.

To sum up, the scholar and a girl named Li in the town were in love, and the elders in the family were also familiar with each other, so they made an engagement early. The wedding was supposed to be held on a good and auspicious day, but Miss Li suddenly eloped with someone else, leaving the scholar behind. Confused on the spot.

 The scholar received the farewell letter left by the girl. Because the girl could not read, someone else wrote it for her.

 The scholar did not believe the farewell sentence in the letter, so he looked for someone everywhere, and finally heard that the girl had gone to the legendary deserted house...

 By chance and persistent pursuit, the scholar finally entered the deserted house. He did not intend to stay here forever, but just stayed there.

Here, he really saw the girl he liked, and he never saw the man who eloped with the girl.

The girl said that she was forced to leave by the scholar's parents because the scholar's father, who was an official, met a bigger official and wanted to get the scholar a daughter of the official family, but she did not dare to tell the scholar directly for fear that the scholar would be addicted to love and reject the future. .

The scholar begged the girl to go home with him, but the girl cried and said that she had already stayed in the deserted house and could not leave again. She only asked the scholar to stay with her for three days, which was considered a fate.

 So the scholar stayed for three days.

On the first day, he met the strong man who lived with the girl, a young man named Song and an unknown child. The young man was a doctor, but he was very ill. He and the girl were unfamiliar at first glance. The scholar believed it very much. girl.

That night, the scholar heard the faint chatter and laughter of women and men in the courtyard. He pushed the door open and went out, but saw nothing.

The next day, the scholar found that the medical book in the hands of the young man surnamed Song had been replaced by poetry. The two discussed it for a while. The scholar felt that he had met his confidant and his mood was a little weaker. However, his doubts were still there last night. He went to find the girl he loved and saw her. Embroidery in the room.

There are embroidered works everywhere in the room, all of which are exquisite and beautiful. If you sell them, they will definitely be liked by wealthy people. The only weird thing is that every embroidery is red.

The scholar vaguely felt that something was wrong. He was lying in bed the next night and suddenly remembered that Miss Li was not a nvhong at all. Because Miss Li had been annoyed by nvhong since she was a child and preferred music, her father asked her to learn the piano. Shocked and dripping with cold sweat, the scholar got up, lit a lamp, and decided to write down the causes, consequences, and doubts of his trip, and this is how he came up with this book.

On the third day, the scholar was tired and got up very late, almost missing lunch in the courtyard. The strong man scolded him angrily and urged him to eat quickly. After eating, the scholar saw the young man named Song reading again.

The scholar felt something in his heart for some reason. He took the opportunity to enter the room of the young man surnamed Song, and found that there was no medical book in the room. The bookshelves were all filled with examination books that the scholar had read. It seemed that the young man surnamed Song was not interested in Being a doctor is like becoming a scholar.

 Before dark, Miss Li gave the scholar a piece of embroidery, and shyly suggested that this would be the last time she would get along with the scholar in her life, and she wanted to stay in the scholar's room.

If it had been before, the scholar would have been moved and agreed to go to Wushan Yunyu with Miss Li, but when he thought of the white embroidery that Miss Li gave him, he suddenly became frightened.

 He refused and continued writing his "diary" at night.

 As a result, there was a knock on the door.

The scholar's diary ended when he wrote, "Someone knocked on the door outside the house and I wanted to see it."

The ending was a bit abrupt, and Yu Xing couldn't help but think of the scratches under the table nearby.

The diary contains a lot of information. According to the diary, the young man living in the deserted house was a doctor, but the child who brought them in said that "Brother Song" was a scholar.

In addition, Miss Li is good at doing embroidery, but the child calls the girl "Sister Yun", and her surname is Yun, not Li.

Yu Xing chuckled. The story behind this might be very interesting.

He opened the door and entered the yard. He saw that the child had come out of the actor's room and was playing origami in the yard.

There was a basket for picking flowers next to the child, with various small wild flowers in it. Yu Xing walked over and sat next to the child, curiously asking: "What are you folding?"

 “It’s a little rabbit!” The child was cheerful, giggling, and showed a lifelike paper rabbit in his hand to Yu Xing, “Does it look good?”

 “Very cute.” Yu Xing held up his chin and showed an friendly smile.

 “Give it to you!” The child suddenly put the paper rabbit into Yu Xing’s hand.

"Give it to me?" Yu Xing paused. He was a little suspicious that collecting the child's origami would trigger some kind of death trap - although at present, it seems that the room he chose probably corresponds to "Miss Yun".

"My brother who was singing just now told me that the New Year has just passed in the world outside, and it is the Year of the Rabbit!" The child said, "I haven't eaten sugar paintings for a long time. My father and mother used to take me to the market every New Year, but... It was lively...but I couldn’t see it after I came in.”

The child started folding paper again and muttered: "I am the best at folding paper. The opera singer said that you also liked the excitement and hoped that I would fold one and give it to you to prevent you from being sad."

　　 Yu Xing: “…”

 He looked down at the paper rabbit in his hand, his eyes dimmed.

Seeing that the child was concentrating on folding paper, Yu Xing quietly got up and walked to the door of the actor's room. The actor just opened the door. He didn't know how much he heard, with a smile on his face.

Yu Xing threw the paper rabbit into the actor's arms, half-smiling but not smiling: "Dear teacher, I give this to you with my blessing."

The actor caught it innocently: "Don't you like it?"

Yu Xing raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes were playful and defensive, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "In case you want to harm me."

Even if there is nothing wrong with the rabbit, he will not accept it.

 Just after throwing the rabbit to the actor, Yu Xing felt a glare.

 He ​​turned around and saw that the child who had been concentrating on origami just now had stopped and stared at him with **** and white eyes, which seemed to be full of malice.

 “Why did big brother throw away the rabbit I gave you?”

“Big brother doesn’t like my origami, or does he not like me?”

Happy New Year
