Let Me Draw a Card In the Infinite World - Chapter 92
[Player Fu Xiangxiang, welcome to enter the SS-level mission [Shadow Play], and you can clear the level after three days in the mission. The person you are in the task is set as a “newspaper reporter”, please pay attention to keep the person setting. I wish you a happy task. 】
This time the mission notification is too different from the past. The previous mission requirements were to complete 90% of the progress of the plot to clear the level, but this time the requirement turned out to be “to spend three days”.
Fu Xiangxiang’s heart shuddered. Is it not easy to spend three days safely in an SS-level mission?
Thinking that Xiao Yang and Li Gui only used the word “abnormal” when they mentioned the SS-level mission, Fu Xiangxiang twitched his mouth. Okay, it’s quite abnormal, my teammates don’t deceive me!
Opening his eyes cautiously, Fu Xiangxiang found himself sitting in a dilapidated minibus.
The car was driving on a narrow mountain road, and there were no other vehicles and no pedestrians.
There were a total of ten people in the car, most of them dressed in plain and dusty clothes. Red and white woven bags were piled unorganized in the aisle. The air was filled with the smell of sweat, smoke and dust. It’s boring.
The minibus did not have air-conditioning. Fu Xiangxiang opened the window close to him, and the cool breeze with the slight dampness and the smell of trees blew in, which made people feel a little better.
The person sitting next to Fu Xiangxiang stretched, and said to her, “You also go to Lijiacun?”
Fu Xiangxiang turned his head. It was a young man in his early twenties. His clothes were quite different from the other passengers in the car. He was wearing a T-shirt and jeans with a backpack on his back. He looked gentle, like a college student from the city.
Fu Xiangxiang looked down at her dress, white shirt and black trousers, and a black briefcase on her hand. She remembered that she was a “newspaper reporter”. According to the practice of NPC not talking to players for no reason, she guessed that she was going. The place called “Lijiacun” interviewed.
Thinking of this, she smiled politely at the young man: “Yes.”
Speaking, she looked down and flipped through her briefcase, and found some information and interview outline in it.
After a quick glance at the interview outline, Fu Xiangxiang determined that the purpose of her trip was indeed Lijiacun, and she was going there to interview a craftsman named Li Yongnian.
After hearing her response, the young man smiled with joy: “Great! I’m going to Lijiacun too.”
Fu Xiangxiang responded casually: “What a coincidence, what are you doing in Lijiacun?”
Hope flashed in the young eyes: “I’m going to apprentice.”
“Apprentice?” Fu Xiangxiang came to be interested: “Which teacher?”
The young man explained: “Master Li Yongnian Li, he is the most powerful shadow puppet artist. I have been very interested in this since I was a child. I finally found out about the existence of such an expert, so I found him during the summer vacation. I want to learn from him.”
Fu Xiangxiang blinked: “What a coincidence, I also went to see Master Li.”
She glanced at her business card holder in the briefcase: “I am a reporter from Ningcheng Evening News, and I want to do an exclusive interview with Master Li.”
The young man opened his eyes in surprise: “It’s great, folk art needs more publicity!”
As Fu Xiangxiang said, he stretched out his right hand: “My name is Zhang Yifan, and I am a sophomore in Ningcheng Academy of Fine Arts.”
Fu Xiangxiang stretched out his hand and shook his hand: “Fu Xiangxiang.”
At this time, the passengers in the front seat turned their heads to look at them: “You both are going to look for Li Yongnian?”
He was a twenty-six or seven-year-old young man with dark skin and very tough facial features. When he looked at people, he had some scrutiny in his eyes.
Zhang Yifan responded enthusiastically: “Yes, yes, I went to worship Master Li as my teacher. This Miss Fu is an Evening News reporter, and she went to interview Master Li.”
“Yeah.” The young man nodded: “It’s such a coincidence, I also want to find him.”
“Oh?” Fu Xiangxiang looked at him: “What can you do to find Master Li?”
The young man smiled slightly at them: “I will go to apprentice too!”
Zhang Yifan was happier when he heard it, and instantly introduced the young man as a confidant, and dragged him to chat for a long time about his love for the traditional technique of making shadow puppets.
Fu Xiangxiang, who had listened all the way by the side, also found out that the young man was named Wang Peng. He also heard of Li Yongnian’s craftsmanship, and made a special trip from a neighboring province to apprentice.
The minibus swayed and drove for three or four hours before finally reaching the destination Lijiacun.
When Fu Xiangxiang got out of the car, he felt that his bones were about to be broken.
She glanced at her watch. It was 3:30 in the afternoon.
Fu Xiangxiang walked to the cab and asked the driver: “Master, are you going back to the county tonight?”
The driver was from Lijia Village, and he shook his head when he heard the words: “No. Our car runs the next day and will rest tomorrow. It will depart to the county at 7 am the day after tomorrow, and it will depart from the county to the village at 12 noon.”
“Good!” Fu Xiangxiang nodded. It seems that they are destined to be trapped here for two days. If there is any danger in this village, the day after tomorrow is a good time to leave.
In front of me is a small mountain village nestled in green hills and green waters, and there are only a few dozen households in total.
Since Fu Xiangxiang and the two newly met partners both went to see Master Li, they naturally went with them.
They asked the villagers who got off the bus together, and they knew that Li Yongnian did not live in the village, but lived in a hut on the hillside of the back mountain. They couldn’t help but feel a little curious.
Fu Xiangxiang smiled and asked, “Master Li is not too young, right? Why not live in the village with everyone? Isn’t it dangerous to live alone in the mountains?”
A villager shook his head when he heard the words: “Who knows, old man Li, he is also very strange. His son made a lot of money in the city, and he wanted to take him to the city to enjoy the blessings. He just refused, and had to run alone. I went to live in the mountain, saying that the mountain was quiet and it was convenient for him to make shadow puppets.”
Another villager seemed to be a little disdainful: “The craftsmen are expensive and they are not happy to live with our bunch of mud legs.”
Fu Xiangxiang was a little curious: “When did Master Li move to the mountains?”
The villager thought for a while: “There is one for three to five years… After his son got rich, he moved out of the village.”
Fu Xiangxiang asked again: “What does his son do?”
Villager: “Then we don’t know, we just know that it’s a big business. There is a big house in the city, and the car I drove is magnificent!”
Fu Xiangxiang blinked and nodded thoughtfully.
An aunt next to him heard that Fu Xiangxiang was a reporter from the newspaper in the city, and enthusiastically greeted: “You, a little girl, is going up the mountain now, and it might not be convenient to live with Old Man Li. Or else come to my house to stay overnight. , Go to interview Old Man Li tomorrow?”
Fu Xiangxiang’s eyes lit up, and he was very grateful for it. He felt that living in this aunt’s house was definitely safer than living on the mountain. Just when he wanted to say yes, he realized that the word “good” that had already reached his lips couldn’t be said at all.
Fu Xiangxiang was very helpless, and frantically complained from the bottom of his heart: I just went to the villagers’ house for one night, and didn’t stop interviewing. Why doesn’t it meet the reporter’s personal setting?
Does he have to get out of the car and go straight to the interviewer to be a good journalist who loves his job and works?
Fu Xiangxiang had to force a smiling face and declined the aunt’s proposal.
After asking the way to Houshan, Fu Xiangxiang looked at Zhang Yifan and Wang Peng who were following him: “Go?”
The two sincerely apprentice partners naturally responded: “Go!”
The three of them walked up the winding mountain road together, and when they came halfway up the mountain, the sky was already dark.
A used small courtyard appeared in front of you, and you could vaguely see the two-story small building inside the courtyard outside the door.
Fu Xiangxiang remembered the dilapidated little bungalows of the villagers in the mountains that he had seen before, and felt that the courtyard in front of him was nothing like them.
The villagers’ house is a survey report on the status quo of poor rural areas, and Master Li’s house is a small vacation home for literati living in the mountains.
Fu Xiangxiang pulled the corners of his lips. He could build such a small yard on the mountainside. It seems that Master Li’s son is really rich.
Raising his hand and knocking on the door, an old voice rang in the door: “Who?”
With a squeak, the door opened, and an old man in his sixties appeared in front of them.
The old man was thin, with a clear face and a slightly rickety back. Only a pair of eyes looked very energetic, and he looked at them with piercing eyes.
Seeing three young people at the door, the old man said coldly, “You are?”
Fu Xiangxiang took out a business card and handed it over: “Hello, Master Li, I’m Fu Xiangxiang from the Ningcheng Evening News. I want to give you an exclusive interview.”
After hearing this, Master Li frowned insignificantly: “I’m just an ordinary old man, what can I interview? This reporter, please go back.”
What kind of reporter is a reporter who cannot interview the person involved? People can’t collapse.
Fu Xiangxiang hurriedly complimented: “Master Li, your craftsmanship in making shadow puppets is notoriously good. That is our old tradition. How can there be no interview value?”
Master Li was silent for a moment, and then he said bluntly: “Now that young people don’t even watch the shadow puppet show, this shadow puppet is about to be eliminated.”
Fu Xiangxiang looked at him eagerly: “Then I have to visit you well, and also to publicize our shadow puppets, so that more people can understand it, so as not to let it be eliminated, right?”
Master Li seemed to be touched. He raised his eyes and looked at Fu Xiangxiang for a long time, then let her come in sideways: “Then visit if you want.”
After seeing the two young people behind Fu Xiangxiang, Master Li asked, “These two are your assistants?”
Fu Xiangxiang laughed: “I’m just a little reporter, where can I have two assistants?”
Zhang Yifan hurriedly reported to his family, stating that he had come to see Master Li.
Master Li raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, his expression looked a little cold: “I don’t accept disciples.”
Zhang Yifan was taken aback for a moment: “Why? Master Li, your craft is so good, wouldn’t it be a pity not to accept disciples?”
Master Li just remained silent. Zhang Yifan was anxious, and said around Master Li. He gave a detailed introduction of his own mental journey, and said that he must respect and respect Master, follow Master and learn carefully, and never fall into the master’s door. Fame or something.
Master Li was so eloquent by him that he finally eased his attitude: “If this is the case, then you can follow me for a while. However, if you can’t be regarded as my official apprentice, just barely become an apprentice.”
Zhang Yifan didn’t care about these names, he was very happy to learn something, and nodded after hearing the words: “Okay, thank you Master!”
Master Li lowered his face to correct him: “Don’t call me Master!”
Zhang Yifan replied: “Yes, Master Li.”
Master Li nodded reservedly and looked at Wang Peng again.
Wang Peng pointed to Zhang Yifan: “I am like him, so you should accept me by the way!”
Master Li waved his hand impatiently: “Trouble!”
But he didn’t say anything to refuse, and just walked towards the courtyard.
Fu Xiangxiang rolled his eyes: This is, acquiescence?
Zhang Yifan looked at Wang Peng with a little dissatisfaction: “Dare to love me and say a big deal in front of me. You came up and picked up a ready-made one.”
Wang Peng smiled at him: “They are all brothers from the same family, don’t be so dismissive!”
Zhang Yifan reluctantly eased his expression: “Okay…”
At this time, Master Li’s slightly dissatisfied voice came from the room: “Why are you still stuck there? Come in.”
