Chapter 19: Traditional Customs
Not long after Ren Dazhuang called, Su Lin saw a figure coming out of the shadows, causing Bai Bing to subconsciously take half a step closer to him.
When the man came close to the entrance of the cave, with the help of the faint light after sunset, Su Lincai roughly saw the outline of the other person. She was a young woman.
"Brother, who are these two?"
The woman's voice was soft and smooth, and seemed to have natural reverberation in the cave. It had a strange penetrating power, as if it could penetrate directly into people's souls.
While asking about the identities of Su Lin and Bai Bing, she fumbled and lit the candle. The dim light in the room ignited, and the last ray of light from the sun disappeared in the sky.
Su Lin and Bai Bing looked at each other without any trace, obviously with some doubts.
Because with the help of candlelight, they finally saw clearly this time the woman's appearance, which could be said to be incompatible with this isolated mountain village.
She was wearing a thin coarse cloth dress, which could not hide her good looks. She had a slim and plump figure, soft facial lines, and fair and smooth skin. She did not look like a woman doing farm work in a mountain village in the wind and sun.
She had a pair of pink and phoenix eyes, and she was looking at Su Lin. Their eyes met, and then they looked away in an instant.
"This is my sister, Ren Meier."
Ren Dazhuang introduced, and then introduced Su Lin and Bai Bing to his sister.
The "cave" where Ren Dazhuang and the others live is very spacious, with four separate rooms, one for him and one for Ren Mei'er.
One of the remaining two rooms is used as a storage room. Su Lin and Bai Bing don't know what is stored in it yet. The last room is their guest room. When they were dining, Ren Mei
I went to clean it up.
After eating, Su Lin and Ren Dazhuang briefly chatted for a while and learned about the customs and culture here. Because it was getting late and he was really tired, he was ready to go back to his room.
When Su Lin stood up, Ren Dazhuang said: "Brother Su, we really don't have much entertainment activities here at night, but the tradition of our Wuji Village is hospitality. Today's hasty reception was not good enough, but there are some traditional activities that I want to invite you to participate in. If
If you are interested, come out in the middle of the night and I will take you there. Oh, it can only be Brother Su who comes. It is not suitable for my younger siblings to participate."
"What traditional activity?"
Su Lin pretended to be curious about the baby, but actually he was extremely wary inside.
He already knew that there was something wrong with this village. He had just arrived for dinner and the other party invited him to participate in some activity. It was mysterious and mysterious, and there was something wrong no matter how you looked at it.
His main mission has been refreshed after arriving at Wuji Village, opening the final stage.
[Main mission. Final ring: Strange things in the mountain village]
Mission content: Investigate the truth behind the disappearance of the two travel company employees, as well as the secrets hidden by the Wuji villagers, and survive at least 72 hours in Wuji Village.
Mission Difficulty: Normal~Death
Mission reward: 3,000 Shanhai coins. After completing the mission, you will be eligible to return.
Failure penalty: none
[Tip (only in trial dungeon): Solve the hidden puzzles in the dungeon to unlock hidden tasks or obtain additional rewards.]
Just by looking at the difficulty of the task, he knew that there were definitely weird creatures within Wuji Village that could kill him head-on. The reason why the lower limit was normal was because Bai Bing was still there.
Su Lin, who was solving puzzles and investigating things, felt that it was not difficult for him, but surviving for 72 hours meant that the possibility of them encountering a battle would increase as time went by, and it would be difficult to avoid it.
Of course, if it works well, it may be possible to delay it for three days, and then he can just leave after the task is completed.
But Su Lin paid more attention to the prompts, which were the so-called hidden puzzles and hidden tasks in the dungeon. He liked them the most when playing games.
The investigation team of the Anti-Monster Division is searching for hidden ancient relics in various places, and now that Shanhai Game reminds me like this, it shows that this place is really extraordinary, and there must be something 'good' hidden there.
Interesting... Such exciting experience of collecting materials is something you can't usually find.
"We men like activities, I believe Brother Su will like them."
Ren Dazhuang made a "you know what" expression to Su Lin.
Su Lin's expression became a little weird, and he had also studied micro-expressions a little, not to mention Ren Dazhuang's wretched look was similar to when his college roommate asked him to 'study' with him.
But the unnatural expression on his face only lasted for a moment, and the next moment it turned into a knowing smile, "As the Romans do, I will take part in it."
After making an agreement with Ren Dazhuang, he returned to the room, closed the heavy wooden door, and saw Bai Bing standing in front of the bed covered with old bedding, frowning slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Su Lin lowered his voice, although he felt that if someone wanted to eavesdrop, the door would not be able to block it unless he got close to Bai Bing's ear.
"Someone was lying on this bed not long ago."
Bai Bing looked at the bedding on the bed with disgust. She had a slight mysophobia, and her sense of smell was still very sensitive.
"Is it them?"
Su Lin pursed his lips as he walked toward the door.
Bai Bing shook his head, "I smell a little bit of men's perfume."
"Don't worry, you are not those two people, it's me who should be worried."
Su Lin walked up to Bai Bing and spoke in a low tone.
His meaning was very clear. This bedding was where the missing person had been lying. After all, people in the village didn't use perfume. Although he didn't know why Bai Bing could accurately smell it as men's perfume, he also ruled out Ren Meier's perfume.
possibility.
According to Ren Dazhuang, Ren Meier went out to work in the past two years and also lived in big cities. She was considered to be a relatively educated person in their village, but it was difficult to live in big cities, so she finally came back.
This village is still basically isolated from the world. The roads have not been repaired and there is no water and electricity. It is like a small primitive society. How can people in this place use perfume?
The two missing travel company employees are both men. It's normal for a slut to wear a men's perfume, but better perfumes have a strong lingering scent and may not completely dissipate within a week.
"Why is he looking for you at night?"
Bai Bing searched for clues in the room, wanting to see if there were any remnants of the missing persons, and asked Su Lin. She was a supernatural being, so her hearing was naturally very good. Because she had to consider Su Lin's safety, she had been
Paying attention to the situation outside.
"If he wants to start, he shouldn't be so quick. I feel like he has ulterior motives. Anyway, we are here to investigate, so naturally we have to take a look."
Su Lin analyzed.
Bai Bing glanced at Su Lin, "Isn't it some obscene activity? And you said you men like it? So I was excluded?"
Su Lin shrugged, "Who knows."
