Chapter 219: Hide and Seek

It's noon now, and the early spring sun shines softly on people's bodies. The elderly and children like to move a chair at this time and sit outside to bask in the sun.

However, the children and middle-aged women would rather sit in the room in a daze than go under the sun after eating.

It seems that the scorching spring day outside is not welcomed by them.

Yue Liuyin went to say hello to the middle-aged woman, saying that she and her lover wanted to go outside for a while, and then she and Xie Ze left the farmyard.

Walking in the warm sunshine, the reflected shadow follows closely.

"Ayin, that kid just now has no shadow." Xie Ze glanced at the shadows under their feet, then raised his head and said.

"He's not a ghost." The ghost has a ghostly aura on it, and the child is not much different from a living person except that there is no shadow on his body.

"Could it be other ghosts?" Even if this small mountain village like a peach blossom paradise is real, both of them know that everything in front of them is an illusion, a clearance game made by that unknown thing .

"It's possible that the aura on his body is deliberately covered up, and I can't judge what he is now." From the previous point of view, the child's behavior is full of weirdness, especially the middle-aged woman's behavior towards the child. That kind of fear, Yue Liuyin thought about it for a while, and said: "However, since this is a game, there must be rules of the game, and there are other people participating in the game."

Just as they were talking about other players participating in the game, the two of them heard a few voices.

It turned out that before they knew it, they had reached the entrance of the village again, and this was where they appeared when they came.

There is a peach blossom forest not far outside the village, and there are a few people in modern clothes standing there.

This small mountain village, which looks like a paradise of peach blossoms, is completely isolated from the outside world, and the people inside are still dressed in the same way as in ancient times.

But for Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze, two people who are obviously dressed in modern clothes, there is no curiosity or difference at all, and when they walked along the way, the villagers who saw them were also the same, except for their hospitality , there was no abnormal expression on his face.

The three people standing in the peach blossom forest quickly noticed Yueliuyin's side.

"Are you also a participant in this level?" A man in a suit and elite attire asked.

Yue Liuyin nodded: "I think you are too."

"We all just arrived in this small mountain village. I came here in the morning. I met a child at the entrance of the village and was taken to their home. The child and his parents seemed very hospitable. But I always feel a little strange." Said the gentle woman in a white dress.

"We are in the same situation." Yue Liuyin said again.

Hearing this, the last of the three, a man who looked like a bear, also said: "I came here around the same time as her, and the situation is roughly the same."

"Me too." The man in the suit also said.

"It seems that everyone's situation is similar, so do you know what the rules of the game are?" Yue Liuyin asked.

The three people on the opposite side shook their heads in unison, and the man in the suit said: "In the past, when we entered the next level, there would be a voice telling us the rules of the next level, but when we entered this place, there was no such voice. "

"Maybe I won't find out until the evening." The woman in the dress frowned and said, "The kid in the family I live in keeps saying that he wants to play games with me at night. My hairs are standing on end."

The expressions of the other two changed slightly, obviously they had experienced the same thing and thought of the same place.

"Since there are no rules, we might as well wait and see what happens." Yue Liuyin looked at the three of them, "It's daytime and the sun is here, and the people in the village don't seem to like staying under the sun very much, so we might as well take advantage of this For a while, it will be more convenient to go around the village and get familiar with the environment, whether you want to escape or do anything."

The other three nodded, and the bear-like man remained silent from beginning to end: "In that case, let's separate here and go around the village."

"Do you want to separate? What if something happens accidentally?" The girl in the dress was a little scared.

"Probably not, don't ghosts and ghosts like to haunt at night?" The man in the suit stood beside the girl in the dress, "If you are afraid, then we will go together."

The girl in the dress nodded quickly in agreement.

In this way, they were divided into three teams, the bear-like man walked alone, the suit man and the dress girl were in one team, and Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze were naturally in one team.

Roughly, I went around the village with only a few dozen families. Every family looked harmonious and happy, and they all responded with a very warm and hospitable attitude to foreigners who were dressed in modern clothes.

But the more this kind of enthusiasm, the more this kind of calm, the more weird it seems.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is all over the building, the sky gradually sinks, the sun sets, the last ray of afterglow disappears in the mountains, and the night comes.

Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze were at the end of the village at the moment, walking back to the children's house, but halfway, they stopped.

"I thought my sister and brother wouldn't come back." The child stood by the side of the road, half of his body was hidden in the shadows, and the other half of his body was obscured by the cold moonlight, which added a bit of gloom.

"The scenery in the village is so beautiful that it makes people linger, so we walked around a few more times." Yue Liuyin explained with a smile, as if he didn't see anything wrong with the children's faces.

The child curled his mouth, and a very happy smile appeared on his face: "Since brother and sister like our village, then don't leave."

"If we don't leave, where should we go? Both of us are foreigners, will the other villagers in the village accept us?" Yue Liuyin deliberately tried.

"Of course, the people in the village are very hospitable people. If my sister and brother stay, they will be our own people, and no one will object." The child said very firmly.

A hesitant look appeared on Yue Liuyin's face.

The child didn't urge her, and just looked at her quietly.

Until a dark cloud floated over in the sky, covering the cold and radiant moon.

The moon was covered by dark clouds, and this small mountain village lost the peace and tranquility that was like a peach blossom garden in the daytime, and it seemed more false and weird.

Seeing the last ray of light on the earth disappear, the child smiled even more happily: "Sister and brother, it's time for us to play games."

Now that the topic is coming, the expressions of Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze remained unchanged, but they became vigilant at the same time.

"What game?"

"Hide and seek, do sisters and brothers like to play hide and seek?" The child smiled brightly.

"But if we play hide-and-seek, just the three of us, will the number be too small?" Yue Liuyin pointed out.

The child immediately understood: "It turns out that my sister likes to be more lively, so my sister and brother come with me, and there are many people. They are very happy to play with my sister and brother."

The child walked ahead and led the way, taking small steps, the speed seemed to be very slow, but disappeared at the end of the village in a blink of an eye.

Xie Ze held Yue Liuyin's hand, and the two followed quickly.

The further you go, the darker the front looks. There is no light in the village, and the moon in the night sky is also covered by dark clouds.

If someone with night blindness comes, I'm afraid they won't even be able to see where the road is.

I don't know how long it took to walk, but there was the sound of laughing and laughing children playing in front of me.

Walking forward for another 50 meters, a large flat land appeared in front of me. It seemed that all the people in the village had come, old and young, and it seemed very lively.

But even with so many people, there is still no light here.

Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze have excellent visual ability, and they are as good as day in the dark.

It is also because of this that they can easily see the stunned faces of those adults, each of them is like a marionette, covered with a layer of human skin, with straw inside.

Compared with the dullness of the adults, these children are much more lively. They are all playing games, various small games, and everyone has a cheerful smile on their faces.

The child also quickly mixed into the group of children, and not long after, he ran over with the two children.

"Sister, they are willing to play hide-and-seek with us." The child raised his head innocently.

Before Yue Liuyin could answer, a voice came over.

It was the three men and women I met during the day, and it was the woman in the dress who spoke: "You are also here, I have something to tell you, it is very important."

The woman's face was pale, and there was still a little fear in her eyes, and she didn't know what she had discovered.

"Brother and sister, let's play hide-and-seek together." With a smile on his face, the child turned to the three men and women who ran over.

"No, we still have something to do with them..." The woman in the dress wanted to refuse, but she didn't finish her sentence.

The kid who was still smiling and jovial at first, his expression darkened, his little face was as gloomy as the night: "Is sister going to reject us?"

Behind the child, the two children who were about the same size as him had the same look on their faces, as if carved out of the same mold.

This group of kids who were only around their waists gave off a more terrifying feeling than the ghost with a big knife in the previous level.

The woman in the dress was frightened and stopped talking. After a while, she answered with a trembling voice: "No, I have no intention of refusing."

"My sister is so nice, then come and play hide-and-seek with us."

The woman in the dress, the man in the suit and the bear-like man who came over did not dare to nod in refusal.

And what the woman in the dress wanted to tell Yueliu Yin Xie Ze before, she couldn't say it anymore.

Three children and five adults formed a group, wanting to play a game of hide and seek.

"Brother and sister go hide, the three of us are ghosts, we will count to 99, and then we will look for you." The child's smile became more and more strange, "If we find you, we will eat you!"

The last sentence was like a joke, but it was creepy to their ears.

"Okay, okay." The faces of the three men in suits were pale.

"The game of hide-and-seek begins now." The child seemed unable to see the strange expressions on the faces of these adults, turned his back obediently, and started counting with his eyes covered: "One, two, three..."

The three children performed exactly the same movements, and they would stop for one second when they counted a number. When they counted together to 99, they still had more than a minute.

During this more than a minute, they had to find a hiding place to ensure that they would not be found out by these three children, because the consequences of being caught were not something they could bear.

At this time, no one dared to delay, and the woman in the dress also forgot that she still wanted to tell Yue Liuyin what they had said, so she turned around and ran away quickly like an athlete.

Compared to the panic of those people, Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze's casual steps in the courtyard were out of place.

The bear-like man running at the back looked at them: "Aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid of what?" Yue Liuyin asked with a smile.

"caught."

"Then he was eaten." Yue Liuyin answered his words.

"Those kids are not human. If you underestimate them, you two won't end well." The last sentence of the bear-like man seemed to be a warning, but also an advice.

In the end, the bear-like man didn't say a word, and ran away quickly.

He didn't look back, so he didn't notice that the figures of Yue Liuyin and Xie Ze disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In fact, the two of them did not leave too far away, but put invisibility charms on their bodies, wanting to see what the three children really wanted to do.

When 99 came down, the three children put down their hands at the same time, opened their eyes, and turned around. Their movements were exactly the same, like triplets with a tacit understanding, but their appearances were all different.

The three children did not speak to each other, but disappeared in three directions in a very tacit understanding, and these three directions were the directions in which the three men in suits left.

The child walking in the middle of the road is the child who lives in the house of Yueliu Yinxie. His steps are unhurried, but his speed is extremely fast.

A pair of eyes seemed to be able to automatically recognize other people, and it took only 2 minutes to find the man in the suit who was hiding very carefully.

"Brother, I found you." The child smiled.

The man in the suit's feet went limp, and he slumped on the ground. He didn't understand why he was already hidden under the water, and why he was found out so quickly.

At this time, the man in the suit no longer had the elite appearance he had before, and begged the child for mercy, "Please, don't eat me, I can do anything for you, as long as you spare my life."

The child tilted his head, resting his chin, and thought about it very cutely: "But we have clearly agreed that if we find you, we can eat you."

"My lord, spare my life. As long as my lord is willing to spare my life, I am willing to help my lord find other people." The man in the suit had a look of awe on his face.

At this moment, in order to survive, there is nothing that cannot be betrayed. As the saying goes, the husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when the disaster is imminent, but he and the others are all strangers who met halfway, so there is no relationship , not to mention any betrayal.
