It is impossible for Jian Yao to choose the second option. Regardless of whether she wants to learn ruthless swordsmanship or not, she cannot do it just by asking her to ignore everything in front of her as a normal thing.
Jian Yao silently recited "Purify", white light emerged from her body, and the plants wherever she went returned to their former vitality. The female ghost beside the wall also seemed to have regained her consciousness, but her body was still mutilated during her lifetime.
As a result, Jian Yao's purification skills cannot restore her to her normal appearance.
After the female ghost regained consciousness, she no longer roared at the player, but made an anxious "Ahhh" sound, as if she wanted to convey something to the player.
Seeing the female ghost mouthing "Run away, go home", Jian Yao suddenly remembered the four-character marks she found in the room before.
"Have you ever left four words in a room before? It was 'Run away, go home'."
The female ghost nodded, suddenly becoming excited, her mouth movements became faster and faster, and her eyes looking at Jian Yao became urgent.
Jian Yao struggled to read the female ghost's mouth shape and read the information. Fortunately, she was forced by Shan Nanxing to learn how to read lips, otherwise it would be difficult for her to understand the female ghost's mouth shape today.
"You have been favored by the Wu family to become the Wu family's daughter-in-law, so leave here quickly? Is that what you mean?"
Jian Yao frowned and read what the ghost wanted to say. She guessed that the daughter-in-law that Grandma Wu liked would live in the room closest to her child.
[Trigger side mission!]
[Side mission: Liberate Manghong Village and bring the innocent survivors home]
[This task is not a mandatory task, players can choose whether to complete the side task]
Jian Yao and Wu Jiu both received side tasks at the same time, but they did not choose to complete the side tasks now. Instead, they asked the female ghost if she knew where the other girls were being held.
The female ghost shook her head, her eyes were confused. She had been locked in the room. After being locked here, she never saw anyone else again. Jian Yao and Wu Jiu were the only people she had seen in many years.
Two strangers.
Could it be that apart from the villagers' homes, weren't they originally imprisoned in Wu's house? Then where else could they be imprisoned?
The scenery of the backyard can be seen at a glance. There is really no place to hide people here. What's more, the female ghost has been in the backyard for so many years and has never seen a girl being brought into the backyard. So this should not be
A place to hide people.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of the door lock shaking. It was someone outside trying to open the door lock and walked into the backyard.
Regardless of whether it was other players or Granny Wu outside, Jian Yao and the others did not dare to bet. They took one last look at the female ghost and received a "go quickly" look, and quickly climbed over the wall and walked away.
"It seems that the backyard is indeed not a place to confine people."
Jian Yao frowned. Could it be in Grandma Wu's room or her grandson's room?
But Jian Yao quickly eliminated the second conjecture, because Grandma Wu would not lock a girl his grandson didn't like in his room, so the possibility of Grandma Wu's room was very high.
But she has never seen Grandma Wu's room. Every time she appears and disappears, making her location unclear, which makes Jian Yao wonder. Does Grandma Wu really have her own room in the Wu family?
Or, does she really need a place to rest?
Jian Yao and Wu Jiu walked into the village and unknowingly came to the courtyard wall of a villager's house.
A woman's scream suddenly came from the yard, and the sound was full of pain and despair.
"You bitch, what's your name? If you attract someone, I'll pull out your tongue!"
As a rough male voice fell, Jian Yao heard the sound of the whip hitting the flesh. From this sound, she could tell how hard the man was hitting. She didn't know if the man's words just now shocked the person being beaten.
A few women's groans could be heard.
"Hey, Zhuzi, don't be so aggressive lately. If the girls living in the Wu family hear it, they might run away overnight."
The man named Zhuzhu did not stop his movements and laughed: "Impossible, it's useless even if those cute young ladies know about it. As long as Lord Mountain God is here, they will never leave here."
"More than ten years ago, a woman came with some kind of camera and wanted to film it and take it out. We immediately smashed it."
"Don't worry, how can these weak-looking girls defeat so many of us?"
Jian Yao stood under the wall, listening to the dirty words coming from inside, she couldn't help clenching her fists, her face was not angry but smiling, but there was no trace of smile in her eyes.
They are obviously living humans, but they are more vicious than some monsters.
In order not to let the villagers inside notice them, the two quietly returned to Wu's house.
At this time, the chains and locks in the backyard fell to the ground, but the door to the backyard was still closed. Grandma Wu didn't know where she had gone, and the entire Wu family was quiet.
Taking advantage of this time, Jian Yao began to check the Wu family's room.
The structure of Wu's house is very clear, with only the living room, dining room, guest room, the room where the grandson lives, and the backyard they just saw.
In addition, Jian Yao did not find any extra rooms here, so where did Grandma Wu stay every night?
The originally gloomy sky gradually darkened, and the Wu family also lit candles and oil lamps. The warm light illuminated the restaurant, and Grandma Wu suddenly appeared in front of the dining table, which was also filled with various dishes.
It all seemed to happen at that moment, and nothing could be seen with the naked eye.
The smile on Grandma Wu's face was much lighter than before.
She just glanced at the players lightly, and even her favorite Jian Yao didn't look at them more now.
"Who of you entered the backyard today?" Grandma Wu's voice was low and cold, and her eyes were fixed on the player.
From the player's perspective, you can see that the skin on Granny Wu's body is peeling off, and the exposed flesh is filled with clusters of maggot eggs, not to mention that there are many white maggots wriggling in the middle of these eggs.
, seems to love his children very much.
Just one look at it is enough to make someone suffer from trypophobia.
Jian Yao suppressed the nausea in her throat and refused to spit it out.
It would be much easier to accept the things in front of you as if they were ordinary dead objects.
"Did you go into the backyard today?"
As Grandma Wu opened her mouth, the eggs and maggots on her face fell on the table and on her body.
It seems that Granny Wu is very angry because someone has been to the backyard, and she doesn't even pretend to be a living person anymore.
Jian Yao knew that it was she and Wu Jiu who entered the backyard today, but she could not be exposed, otherwise death would be waiting for them.
"No, we are all walking around the village today. Grandma, isn't the backyard locked? We can't get in either," Jian Yao explained.
Jian Yao couldn't see any guilt on her face, but she was a little uneasy in her heart. She was worried whether the mountain god had told Grandma Wu who the person who entered the backyard was.
But if Grandma Wu doesn't know who is entering the backyard, it proves that the mountain god is not as omniscient and omnipotent as she said, and she cannot communicate with the mountain god at any time.
