Chapter Ninety-Two: Boiled Frogs in Warm Water
The five of them immediately got up, climbed over the fence of the village to the east, and marched quickly. He hadn't gone far when he looked at the sun and said in surprise, "How long has it been since it came out?" Is the sun starting to go west? ”
Mo Zhiyu glanced back at him and said, "I forgot to mention that time flies very quickly here, and the day is over in the blink of an eye, and the days are especially short, so we have to hurry." ”
"And how many days have you been here?" Hu Hansan suddenly asked curiously.
Luo Bingqian replied: "Counting today, it should be three days." ”
Hu Hansan suddenly stopped, everyone looked at him curiously, and he looked at Mo Zhiyu: "Three days, even if this time flies quickly, it should be a meal, right?" Surely you haven't eaten anything from the village, have you eaten anything else? ”
Hearing Hu Hansan's words, Mo Zhi was stunned. Luo Bingqian, who was beside him, said, "If you don't feel hungry, you won't eat." ”
Azule asked very sincerely: "Senior Brother Hu, are you hungry?" We didn't bring anything vulgar with us when we went out this time, we could only take strong pills, do you have that? There is no ...... without me," he said, pulling out a small porcelain vase.
"Oops, big man, that's not what I mean!" Hu Hansan was speechless and pressed Azule's hand back.
"Wait." Mo Zhiyu raised his hand to signal everyone not to speak, and began to analyze himself, "Although as Yuanli cultivators, we can be more hungry than ordinary people, but we still have hunger. We haven't eaten for so long, and we're not hungry...... I suddenly had a bad guess. ”
Luo Bingqian hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Have you ever heard of boiled frogs in warm water?" Mo Zhiyu asked everyone, and they shook their heads, so he continued, "If you put a frog in hot water, it will jump out immediately, right?" ”
Everyone nodded, and then Mo Zhiyu said: "But put the frog in cold water, and then heat the water slowly, the frog will not feel hot, but will adapt to the temperature of the water until it ......."
"Until it's cooked!" Hu Hansan said in one mouth, and Mo Zhiyu nodded.
"I see, we're frogs." Luo Bingqian clapped her hands excitedly, "We are being assimilated by this illusion, we will not feel hunger and thirst, and then we will be slowly starved and thirsty to death, and we will not notice it, just like those people, thinking that we are still alive." Luo Bingqian suddenly realized, "No wonder those people decided that we couldn't leave, and said that we would become a family with them!" ”
For a while, everyone was silent, and their hearts were shocked.
"Don't panic just yet." Mo Zhiyu spoke first to comfort everyone, "Now that we have discovered this problem, we can deal with it." From now on, we will take one pill every three days, so that we can ensure that our body has a basic energy supplement. The operation was well prepared, and there was at least one bottle per person, and there should be twenty in one bottle, enough for us to stay here for a long time. ”
The other four nodded in approval, so the five of them immediately took out the Great Returning Pill and took it separately. Mo Zhiyu also released a meow ball and fed it one, and Hu Hansan next to him was naturally taken aback. After this incident was over, of course, Mo Zhiyu still put away the meow ball, and the five of them continued on the road and walked north. ”
I walked all the way into the night, and finally came to the clearing.
"Huh? This is back. Hu Hansan and the other three were surprised. Mo Zhiyu and Luo Bingqian had already experienced this yesterday, so they were very calm, and Mo Zhiyu said: "It was the same yesterday, which means that we still haven't found an exit." ”
"Then we'll go west tomorrow?" Hu Hansan asked suspiciously?
"Nope." "This is the southwest of the village, so I must have walked here." Explain that orientation is not the right way to solve the puzzle. We're going to have to go back to the village and find out the information. ”
The expressions of the other four were also very helpless, and in the end, they all changed into Mai, wore masks, and returned to the village.
Of course, the eldest brother guarding the entrance of the village was very enthusiastic, and walked inside with the five of them, saying, "You have come back just in time, we have already made three beds." Li Laosi is taking his brothers to help you dig the cellar, and in less than five days, you will be able to have your own house. ”
This made the hearts of the five people tighten, and Mo Zhiyu replied with a reluctant smile: "Thank you." ”
The eldest brother said happily: "Thank you, it's all a family!" This made the five people's hearts tense again.
The five of them followed the eldest brother all the way forward, and then they went to the place where the coffin was made, and saw that the fourth coffin was about to be ready.
The village chief came over happily and said, "How is it, are you still satisfied?" ”
Hu Hansan hurriedly said: "Satisfied, of course satisfied!" Mo Zhiyu despised him in his heart, and this businessman deserved to be a businessman.
Then Hu Hansan asked again: "Village chief, who beat the drum at the head of the village last night?" Is he so accurate that he doesn't miscalculate the time of dawn every time? When Mo Zhiyu heard this, he admired the fat man in his heart, the intelligence merchant deserves to be an intelligence merchant, and he is very sensitive to information.
"Drums? What drums? The village chief looked at Hu Hansan, and his tone was full of doubts.
They can't hear the drums? Hu Hansan immediately glanced at each other with Mo Zhiyu. Then Hu Hansan smiled and said, "Oh, that must have been my mistake." Hey, how do you know when it's dawn? ”
"When it's dawn, you'll know." The village chief said sincerely.
"Oh yes!" Hu Hansan followed the village chief's words, stepped back, and twisted a pair of fat hands together. Mo Zhiyu knew that Hu Hansan must have been thinking about it, and he suddenly thought of a question, so he walked over and asked, "Village Chief, have you ever heard of 'Nine Springs Room' or 'Long Night Terrace'?" ”
The village chief shook his head: "What kind of place is that, I haven't heard of it." ”
Mo Zhiyu squinted slightly, and said in his heart that this NPC is too powerful, he doesn't know anything, and he will definitely kill him again tomorrow morning! Then he asked, "What's on that hill to the southwest?" Has anyone ever been there? ”
"Mountain?!" When the village chief heard this, he immediately became very excited, and shook his hands desperately, "No, you can't go up!" It is the place where the kings make peace, a sacred place, and it cannot be desecrated! ”
Hearing this, Mo Zhiyu's brows finally stretched, the so-called forbidden land is not a forbidden place, his face behind the mask couldn't help but smile, of course, he couldn't speak too obviously, so he just responded: "Of course, that's where peace was born." ”
Suddenly, there was a scream at the entrance of the village, and someone shouted: "Dead man! Then the rumbling drum sounded again, and this time, instead of leaving, nor flocking to the entrance of the village in excitement, they stood there dumbfounded, hanging their heads, and muttering, "Dead...... Dead man......"
