Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 222 The Bride Dedicated to the Mountain God (12)

What Jiang Qiucheng didn't expect was that the "anchoring strategy" he accidentally saw would be so useful in dialogue games.

Its basic idea is to make it easier for the other party to accept a more reasonable but slightly higher request or point of view by putting forward an extreme, seemingly unreasonable or unacceptable request or point of view.

Although there is a possibility of being blamed by the high priest for not taking the Purifying Heart Clearing Dew on time, the probability is not 100%. However, if someone has an accident before the stipulated date, it will definitely make the high priest unhappy. It will cause a lot of trouble.

In the sharp contrast of the consequences of the two, it seems that not taking the Cleansing and Clearing Heart Dew is nothing, and it seems much more feasible and reasonable.

"Hey, thank you Su, I'm going to show you my skills now!"

Jiang Qiucheng climbed up in a hurry, patted the grass clippings on his body, and ran towards the creek near the soup pond. Ah Su was also curious, so he got up and followed.

Although she could pretend to take the Cleansing Heart Clearing Dew, and then secretly vomit it up behind Ah Su's back, it would be too troublesome to do this every day, not to mention that she had to escape from the other party's supervision and go out to find food by herself, which would be even more difficult. It is even more difficult.

It's better to agree in private first, so that you can save more trouble and make less calculations when taking action, not to mention that you can ask Ah Su for some help and bring some seasonings.

By the time Ah Su arrived, Jiang Qiucheng had already begun to lean over to catch shrimps. Otherwise, how could Lingshan be said to be a geomantic treasure? Even the fish and shrimps in an ordinary stream were so plump.

Now that he didn't have anything to remove the fishy smell, Jiang Qiucheng wanted to try fresh and sweet shrimps instead of greasy fish.

She gently put her hand into the water, and her fingers moved flexibly through the water. When the shrimp swam over, she pinched it hard, and a crystal clear shrimp was firmly caught in her fingertips. .

The shrimp struggled and tried to escape, but with the delicious food in its hands, there was no reason to let it escape. Jiang Qiucheng threw the shrimp into the clay pot and continued to catch shrimp, becoming more and more skilled in his movements.

Ah Su squatted beside him, watching everything curiously.

In the past, she followed the high priest every day and rarely had such leisure time to play. During these days, she followed Jiang Qiucheng. Although she was nominally a caretaker, she also enjoyed many happy times that she had never experienced before.

Because the conditions were so simple, Jiang Qiucheng removed the shrimp threads, then directly added water to the clay pot and lit a fire to heat it. The crystal clear shrimp meat soon became rosy and had an attractive luster.

There is no need to cook the shrimp for too long, as it will no longer be fresh and chewy when it is old. When the heat was almost done, Jiang Qiucheng poured out the soup, let the shrimp cool, blew on it, and peeled it.

Fresh river shrimps are full-bodied after being cooked, with a unique sweetness. The lack of extra seasonings can highlight the original flavor of the shrimps themselves.

After swallowing it in one gulp, Jiang Qiucheng showed a satisfied smile on his face.

During this period of time, she had been eating that damn Purifying Purifying Heart Dew every day, and now even a river shrimp without seasoning has become so delicious, which really makes people sigh with emotion.

Seeing Jiang Qiucheng's intoxicated appearance, Ah Su took a bite with some doubts and found that it was just the most ordinary shrimp and not that delicious. It seemed that he had been trapped for a long time.

Jiang Qiucheng ate vigorously, not noticing that Ah Su's gaze towards her became softer, and the tangled emotions flashed past, as if he was hesitating about something.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was the evening of May 15th, and tomorrow Jiang Qiucheng would dress up and get on the sedan chair heading to Xiaguang Cave.

As the most critical day was about to come, Jiang Qiucheng's nerves became much more tense, and tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. Some time ago, the high priest paid an impromptu visit to Jiang Qiucheng. He appeared suddenly without notice.

At that time, Jiang Qiucheng had just finished eating a roasted chicken that Ah Su had secretly brought, and was resting comfortably while rubbing his belly. He was quite frightened by her fight.

Fortunately, Jiang Qiucheng reacted quickly and immediately pretended to be weak. He lay down on the bed and said that he didn't know what was wrong with him recently and was very bored.

Ah Su also cooperated in time, saying that everything was as usual. The high priest originally just wanted to come and take a look, but when he saw that the person was staying peacefully, he didn't want to delve too much into it and left quickly.

After a period of getting along sincerely, the two had already become very close friends, and Ah Su gradually began to indulge him, doing a lot of conveniences to Jiang Qiucheng in private.

"A Cheng, are you really not going to rest?"

"Although tomorrow's ceremony will only start at dusk, it will take a lot of time to dress and freshen up. I'm afraid you will be very tired by then, so you'd better sleep for a while first."

Ah Su stood beside Jiang Qiucheng, looked at her in the mirror, and persuaded him with hesitation.

Jiang Qiucheng shook his head listlessly. The future was in a fog. How could she rest without any distractions now?

She turned around, hugged Ah Su's waist with a melancholy expression, buried her face in her belly, and said dullly.

"Asu, I can't bear to leave you. After tomorrow, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to meet each other."

Hearing this, Ah Su's movement of stroking the top of her hair slowed down, and he bent his fingers into a virtual squeeze.

Later, as if she had made up her mind, she knelt down and whispered into Jiang Qiucheng's ear.

"A Cheng, there is something I want to tell you. Although I can't remember it clearly, I think it might be able to help you."

When Jiang Qiucheng heard that he could help, he immediately became energetic, sat up straight, and asked seriously.

"What's the matter? Ah Su, do you know any relevant news or details?"

Ah Su nodded, stood up and closed the open window in the room, then returned to Jiang Qiucheng's side again, recalling and talking.

"When I first came to Shibi Village, I overheard a conversation between the high priest and the village chief, saying that the Xiaguang Cave was not sealed, but contained several passages."

"Most of them are dead ends, and only two are paths of survival. One passage goes up, leading to the top of Lingshan Mountain, and the other goes down, allowing you to go down the mountain."

"It's just that the craftsmen who made the passage died inside, and no specific drawings were left behind, so I'm not sure whether this is true or false."

"I originally wanted to tell you about this earlier, but because it was so long ago and uncertain, I was afraid to tell you. Instead, I misled you. It gave you hope of survival, but there was no way out. I'm afraid it would be worse. It’s a frustrating mentality.”

"But after spending the past few days with you, I know that you are a thoughtful and courageous person. Maybe you can really find that exit?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qiucheng's originally dead heart was filled with hope again. As long as there was a way to survive, she would have a chance to get out!
