The sky was frozen, the mountains were cold and the water was cold.

Scattered snowflakes fell on the old lady's shoulders, making her look lonely and miserable.

Her face was pale and gray,

Wrinkles crawling out from all directions were like folded bean skins, covering her entire face.

She moved tremblingly, as if she was dying, and every step she took was extremely slow.

After the two sides passed by, Qin Nuo looked at her for a few seconds.

The old lady seemed to have an eye disease and could not see the road clearly. She limped and looked like she would fall at any time.

Her dry lips opened and closed, making meaningless syllables, and it was completely unclear what she was saying.

The bamboo basket held by her elbow was covered with a piece of blue cloth,

and there was green underneath, and a few leaves and tender buds stretched out from the gaps.

"What's wrong?" Brother Arrow looked back at the old lady's back, "In the past, rural elderly people liked to go out to pick wild vegetables, so there's no need to care."

"Really?" Qin Nuo asked in a rhetorical tone, "I waited outside the village for half a night last night, but I didn't see this old lady."

"Maybe when we went to the villagers' homes, they happened to go out?"

"Brother Arrow, you are really smart, worthy of being a level 12 high player, your brain is good." Qin Nuo praised casually, and then changed the subject:

"But I am a warm-hearted and kind person. I feel uncomfortable if I don't do good things for a day.

Especially when I see lonely elderly people in need, my passive skill will be automatically triggered, and I can't help but go forward to help."

You are talking nonsense, bragging is the passive skill.

Brother Arrow squinted his eyes, not wanting to expose Qin Nuo's bragging in person.

The three teammates only heard the latter's hearty laughter,

then turned around and caught up, very enthusiastically helped the old lady up and asked about her well-being.

"Is he always like this?" Xinghua Weiyu asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, it's about the same. Sometimes it's quite normal, and sometimes it's inexplicable." Hanlin Zimo pondered for a few seconds and gave a pertinent answer.

After the two figures disappeared from sight,

about five or six minutes passed before Qin Nuo reappeared with a smile.

"I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

He came up and threw out a multiple-choice question without saying a word.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering if they could get information by helping an old lady?

"It's bitter first and sweet later." Sad Arrow thought about it and prepared for two bad news.

Qin Nuo smiled, crossed his arms and said, "I will stay in Lijia Village for about 12 hours now. You have to rush to Liushu Village first, which means we have to act separately for the time being."

"Why?" Hanlin Zimo asked in confusion.

"I just triggered a side quest, which may be helpful for the next main quest."

Qin Nuo did not explain the details of the quest, but just told the importance, hoping to convince his teammates.

The other three looked at each other and hesitated for a few seconds. Hanlin Zimo broke the silence: "Brother Qin, you are still sensible in doing things. I believe you."

As he said, he took out a three-inch black square object from the backpack column: "Take this, and contact me in time if there is any situation."

"What is this?" Qin Nuo reached out to take it, and the item description immediately appeared in front of him.

"A small gadget tried by the scientific research department of the 704th Bureau, which can transmit important information in the script world."

Hanlin Zimo patiently explained: "The effect is not good, and it will automatically break after three uses. It can be regarded as an experimental product."

"Oh, then why do you want to make it into a pager? It feels so low." Qin Nuo played with it and savored it.

"It's just an experiment. As long as it works, who cares about the appearance." Brother Jian said,

"Besides, props that have passed the system certification cannot be implanted with personal information collection and positioning devices, so Brother Qin, you can use it with confidence."

Does that mean that all props that have not passed the system certification have been implanted with information collection and positioning systems?

Qin Nuo smiled meaningfully and put the pager into the backpack.

In fact, now that there is a world in the painting,

he is no longer worried that the 704th Bureau will track his real world location through the positioning system.

Even the friend system can be blocked in it, not to mention the technical means of official institutions?

As long as you goOnce you get into the world in the painting, there are many ways to get out.

Xinghua Weiyu was hesitant to speak, curious about the content of the side quest Qin Nuo received.

But considering that it might be obtained by some means and involves personal privacy,

asking rashly would probably cause disgust or even hostility from teammates.

She smacked her lips and finally held back her words.

"My vehicle is fast, and it won't take me more than a few minutes to get to Liushu Village after finishing my business." Qin Nuo waved his hand and said goodbye to the three teammates.

When the three figures gradually walked away and finally disappeared,

he turned and rushed into the woods next to him, patiently waiting for the night to come.

[Task type: Side quest]

[Task name: Marry the dead]

[Task reward: 1 random item, 600 experience points, 400 game coins]

[Failure penalty: None]

[Task prompt: First update]

[Accept: Yes/No]

At night, Qin Nuo hid near the village,

Re-examining the side quest triggered when he helped the old lady during the day.

Marrying the dead means marrying a dead person, which is commonly known as a ghost marriage or a ghost marriage.

As the name suggests, it is a marriage that crosses the worlds of humans and ghosts, and it was once widely used in Asia.

In terms of continuing the incense, if both men and women die or one of them dies after the engagement, the parents must insist on consummating the marriage.

From the perspective of Feng Shui, the ancients believed that if there was a solitary grave in the family cemetery,

the blessings of the descendants would be greatly reduced, so the graves should be paired in form.

Therefore, ghost marriages can be roughly divided into two forms: "dead person x dead person" and "dead person x living person". This practice originated in the Shang Dynasty and has continued for thousands of years without ever really being cut off. Even in today's information explosion era, it is still common. There is no other reason, it is driven by profit. Ghost matchmakers, corpse stealers, corpse suppliers, fortune tellers, behind the word "ghost marriage" is a long black industry chain. The profit is very considerable, and some people even kill people for profit. The betrothal gift for a high-quality female corpse can be as high as 100,000 to hundreds of thousands, and even "dry goods" can be more than five figures.
