Liu Feizhou: "..."
The two people opposite them looked at each other with a mixture of shock and dismay: one looked like he'd swallowed a fly, and the other looked like he'd struck it rich.
Liu Feizhou, who had just mentioned the game, suddenly felt a chill run down his neck.
"Are you all alright?"
"I'm going to the restroom." Gu Xinglan was covered in cold sweat. The moment her right foot stepped into the darkness, she felt an intense sense of crisis, as if she would be dragged into an abyss at any moment.
A rule in horror movies: the lone survivor dies first.
"Weren't you going to the toilet?" Liu Feizhou asked, peeling a banana and eating it.
"No, my kidneys are strong, I can hold it in for a while longer."
As Gu Xinglan spoke, she looked around.
Except for the areas illuminated by the candle, everything else was pitch black, with only a slight reflection.
"Then hurry up and spin the bottle, it's your turn."
The glass bottle jingled as it was passed to Liu Feizhou.
Liu Feizhou stuffed half a banana into his mouth in one bite, making a serious face.
"Truth or Dare, do a split."
“…I abstain.”
The bottle was patted twice by Liu Feizhou, then turned back to look at Xinglan.
"Truth or Dare, do a split."
Gu Xinglan gave a forced smile, "Fine, I'll do it."
After saying that, he grabbed his trouser leg and did a split.
Her waist was slightly raised, and her waistline was gracefully defined, naturally flowing down from her chest to create a perfect curve.
Liu Feizhou fixed his gaze on someone and slowly stuck a sticky note on his face.
"Gu Xinglan, if you're short of money, you can come to my exhibition as a model. The salary is calculated by the hour, two thousand per hour."
Why is it so easy to make money these days?
When he was short of money before, he could hardly find even half a coin. Now that he's not short of money, he can get money from anywhere.
Gu Xinglan didn't respond, and instead spun the bottle.
With a few gurgling sounds, the bottle opening was pointed at Li Jianbai.
The air fell silent for a few seconds.
"Third Master?"
The man opposite him stared blankly, as if he had been bewitched.
Her eyes remained wide open, her lips were as red as blood, and even the whites of her eyes were bloodshot.
"Li Jianbai?"
"noob?"
The two men took turns calling out to Li Jianbai.
But Li Jianbai still looked dazed.
The game ended with Li Jianbai falling into a dazed state.
Now, Liu Feizhou has four sticky notes on his face, Gu Xinglan has five sticky notes, and Li Jianbai has six.
Li Jianbai lost.
But at this point, Li Jianbai couldn't even have a simple conversation, let alone make a wish.
Liu Feizhou remained silent for a while before finally speaking, "Shall we go back?"
There was no more thunder in my ears.
The rain outside gradually stopped.
There were no more watermarks on the window, so Gu Xinglan opened the window.
With the yard flooded, I'm afraid the Chinese medicinal herbs outside won't survive either.
"Mr. Gu..."
There was someone hiding under the windowsill, their face pale, their eyes pleading for help.
"The person Third Master asked me to find is dead."
The old man who guarded the sheepfold died, along with the little lamb.
No one knew that in such heavy rain, this man in his seventies was leading a sheep up the mountain when he died in a waterlogged puddle that was half a person's height.
The old man fell headfirst into the pit and drowned.
The sheep was tied to a tree and was struck by lightning.
As dawn broke, a servant of the Li family died.
The old man had no children or spouse. The Li family buried him in the cemetery according to the burial standards for members of the clan. After cremation and burial, he disappeared within a week.
Gu Xinglan was an outsider and was not allowed to enter the cemetery. He could only wear hemp clothes and squat on the stone steps outside the sheepfold, staring blankly at the water on the ground.
The muddy waters brought in the sky without reservation, but the sky reflected in the water was murky.
"Mr. Gu, do you want to go back to Wushui?"
He is the manager of the outer courtyard.
The steward, unfazed by the deaths, handed Gu Xinglan two bags of pears.
"Here you go, it's freshly picked from the tree."
"I don't plan to go back to Wushui. Also, am I supposed to guard this sheepfold?" Gu Xinglan asked.
"Someone will come to take your place, so you'll have to work somewhere else."
"What else is there to do?"
"That depends on Mr. Li Yuan's arrangements."
Gu Xinglan went for a stroll in the mountains in the evening.
He didn't dare go to the cemetery because he didn't know the way.
Following the sign, you can reach the place where the old man had the accident.
He took out incense and a few pears from the bag, and only after the incense had burned out did he take the pears downstairs.
On the seventh day after his death, we indirectly bid farewell to the old man.
The pears that had been offered as sacrifices were given to the sheep.
"Sheep big, sheep two, sheep three, sheep four... Goodbye." Gu Xinglan left after cleaning the pigsty and sheepfold.
His life after that was incredibly leisurely; he didn't have to go anywhere to work, he could just lie in bed and get moldy.
The phone screen keeps loading.
He had just seen financial news about Wushui on cable TV.
In the western part of Wushui, several scandals involving big bosses have been exposed, causing stock prices to plummet and several luxury residential areas to be sealed off.
In contrast, to the east, a commercial and technological park transformed from an urban village has attracted several large technology companies, and the commercial district has now developed, with several theme parks covering 1.16 square kilometers.
It can be said that fortunes change.
Lai Tae-ho even appeared on television.
No wonder Li Taihe kept yawning when we talked on the phone last time.
The man on the screen had faint dark circles under his eyes and his pupils were somewhat dull, but his expression was radiant as he delivered a speech at the Wushui Private Enterprise Conference.
The camera panned to the Li Group building, where Li Huiwen, wearing glasses, answered every question from the reporter without any faults.
Gu Xinglan originally just wanted to play the TV as a lullaby, but the more she listened, the more awake she became.
Why did he feel that Li Taihe and Li Huiwen's speeches sounded like they were making their final arrangements?
The door creaked open.
Liu Feizhou had just returned from class, his face still showing signs of exhaustion, and he wanted to talk to Gu Xinglan.
But the person on the sofa had all their attention on the television.
"Those kids really screwed me over." After saying that, Liu Feizhou collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted, his eyes rolling upwards.
Gu Xinglan came to her senses and climbed onto the sofa opposite her.
"What's wrong with you? You've been so tired lately."
Recently, whenever Liu Feizhou comes back, he just closes his eyes and falls asleep immediately.
Forget about playing games with him, he couldn't even chat with Liu Feizhou; Liu Feizhou was the one who initiated the conversation.
"Don't even mention it. Today, a few children were making a ruckus in my class, and they even attracted the housekeeper's attention."
Attracting him is one thing, but why should he also get whipped?
Isn't he just letting those kids who are stronger than him fight and make a ruckus?
Or was he still a child?
All we know are their names; everything else is unknown.
"And your precious little darling, who caused the most trouble, has already been punished by standing for two hours."
"Li Hetai?"
Gu Xinglan frowned.
"Tell me the whole story first."
Li Hetai was actually punished. He had heard the Li family servants praise the new young master of the Li family more than once.
I heard that Li Hetai has already started a company on the simulator. This simulator is extremely realistic, almost a one-to-one replica of reality, but it only has old-fashioned text and pictures.
The simulator was also installed on the TV, but he couldn't understand how to use it.
