Real Cthulhu Running Game - Chapter 1972
As soon as Liu Xing’s words came out, Luo Tiedan was speechless, because at this time “Liu Peng”‘s pockmarked face really looked quite embarrassing, and the previous “Liu Peng” was also affected by it. Many people ridiculed, so Liu Xing’s words at this time are very convincing.
So after struggling for a while, Luo Tiedan went back to discuss with his new wife.
After a while, Luo Tiedan walked over with his new wife supported, and her face was still covered with a layer of black veil, covering most of her face.
However, Liu Xing could still see serious burn marks on her face, but only on the right half of her face.
I see.
In an instant, Liu Xing figured out why she was injured, why she became a widow, and finally had to marry Luo Tiedan, an old bachelor.
“Tang Yi.”
Luo Tiedan said: “Her name is Tang Yi. She was originally from Yuanxi City, but now she is my daughter-in-law Luo Tiedan. She couldn’t go to the land because of her previous injury, so you don’t have to give me so much land, Doctor Liu. It’s just Tianshui Township. If you want to raise silkworms, you can hand them over to my daughter-in-law, who was a well-known silkworm farmer in all towns and villages back then.”
Hearing what Luo Tiedan said, Liu Xing couldn’t help but glance at Tang Yi, because raising silkworms is very hard work, and you have to pick fresh mulberry leaves every day, and sometimes you have to visit every few hours to take care of the silkworms. One glance; moreover, silkworm rearing also has certain technical thresholds. If the technology is not up to standard, it is easy to cause the color of silk to be incorrect or the quality to be too poor.
The reason why Liu Xing knew this was because Liu Xing’s grandmother used to raise silkworms when she had nothing to do, but she gave up in the second year because raising silkworms was too tiring for the old man.
You must know that Liu Xing’s hometown is known as the “Mulberry Capital of China”. It has a history of silkworm raising and spinning more than a thousand years ago, and it was also an important raw material supply base for Shu embroidery at that time. When I was young, I often went to pick mulberries with my friends, and I could bring a bottle with me every time I went home.
So even without the biggest problem of picking mulberry leaves, Liu Xing’s grandmother was exhausted just taking care of those silkworms, which shows that raising silkworms is not an easy job.
And if Liu Xing remembers correctly, silk is easy to burn. At the same time, in order to ensure the quality of silk, the room where silkworms are raised must be kept as dry as possible.
So now Liu Xing can be sure that the fire that Tang Yi encountered back then was probably because the room where the silkworms were raised caught fire due to an accident, and she might have knocked over the silkworm cocoons in the process of fighting the fire or escaping from the fire, and the silkworm cocoons that were ignited as a result It was pasted on her face, so Tang Yi became what she is now.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing was a little worried that Tang Yi would be bitten by a snake once, and would be afraid of well ropes for ten years, which might cause problems for her to raise silkworms.
But having said that, Liu Xing and others also planned to let the NPCs raise silkworms at the beginning, because they had to find something to do, and the silk produced had many uses, so Liu Xing and others had not yet established an alliance. I went to buy a lot of silkworm eggs before, and I guess they should be delivered in the next two days.
Then the question is, should I believe this Tang Yi?
Liu Xing looked at Tang Yi with some confusion, because Heshan County is still a large market after all, so although the local area is very suitable for silkworm farming, there are not many people who have actually raised silkworms. After all, everyone is usually busy with business, so why not Are you free to collect mulberry leaves every day? Moreover, passing caravans will occasionally pass by with silk, so it is better to buy silk directly.
So if Tang Yi really has more than 70 points in sericulture skills, then she can indeed become the number one silkworm raiser in Tianshui Town.
“Doctor Liu, I can use everything I have to guarantee that my wife is definitely a qualified silkworm farmer! So I have already thought about it, that is, besides farming the one-acre three-point land, I will save money for myself. In addition to some rations, I will pick mulberry leaves for my daughter-in-law, making my family a professional sericulture household in Tianshui Town.” Luo Tiedan said seriously.
Since Luo Tiedan said so, Liu Xing naturally could only nod in agreement, so Luo Tiedan happily took his wife to wander around Tianshui Town, because he wanted to make sure that there were enough mulberry trees there.
And Liu Xing went back to find Ding Kun, and reported that he was safe, and told what he saw and heard in Heshan County.
“I just said why a troupe suddenly came to Tianshui Town. It turned out that you called Liu Xing.”
Ding Kun said with a smile: “However, this troupe seems to be quite professional. It didn’t take much effort to set up the stage. This afternoon, I took the time to perform a few shows, even if it’s a layman like me who doesn’t know anything. Everyone thinks it’s pretty good, and those NPCs even took the time to watch the excitement, so Liu Xing, your move is good; of course, the more important thing is that this troupe is not the one we watched in Boyang City before. huh? So I went out of my way to ask about the aftermath of that scene, and guess what?”
“No more?” Liu Xing replied subconsciously.
“That’s right, the follow-up to that scene is indeed gone, because the screenwriter who wrote this play has already run away with a bucket.”
Ding Kun shook his head and said: “Didn’t the old city lord of Boyang City die suddenly at that time, so the troupe could only choose to leave, and the screenwriter suddenly disappeared, but someone saw him as if he had gone into the city. I haven’t seen him since that day.”
Liu Xing nodded, and couldn’t think of why the screenwriter left the troupe for a while, because drama screenwriting is not a reliable job these days, so unless you have prepared well in advance, you may not be able to do it after leaving the job. Be out of work for months, or even years.
So this screenwriter has a problem?
“By the way, another strange thing was dug out in the forest, but it wasn’t dug out from that hole, but the logging team found that the root of a tree was empty when cutting down the tree, so It was very easy to uproot the tree, only to find what appeared to be a long-abandoned rat hole underneath, and then to find a stone that was obviously artificially polished.”
Ding Kun continued: “It is said to be a stone, but I can’t be sure what kind of stone it is, because it is different from the stones we often see in the real world, and this time the martial arts module itself has some special features. Stone; and this polished stone is a bit like a dart with four corners in shape, but its thickness is about the same as our palm, so the four corners seem to have no lethality.”
“Uh, who made it when they had nothing to do? Then they threw it as a dart, only to be picked up by a mouse?”
Liu Xing said indifferently: “There used to be several construction sites near my house, and if my family and I wanted to take a walk after dinner, we would often pass a construction site on a hillside, where there would be a lot of rubble. If I had nothing to do, I would pick up a piece and play with it; wasn’t various martial arts dramas very popular at that time? So I started to use those broken stones as hidden weapons, and I also tried to polish a few pieces, and the result was really good. It has been successful several times, but this kind of crushed stone is relatively brittle, so it can only be thinned and cannot be changed into a shape.”
“That’s right, although the stone looks a bit strange, there is nothing special about it, and it is not displayed as a prop, so it may be a gadget that someone has nothing to do, of course, it may also be a A hidden weapon, after all, this stone seems to do more damage than the stone picked up by the side of the road.” Ding Kun nodded and said.
Then, the two of Liu Xing changed the topic to Iron Spear Taoist Priest.
“You and Yin En’s thinking should be correct. The Taoist priest with the iron gun may have come for the beast under the tower, but I remember that this tower was built after the Taoist temple was abandoned, so the Taoist priest with the iron gun If the master is really the original owner of the Taoist temple, how did he know that there is a monster hidden under the tower? Could it be that he sealed it? But the problem comes again, the Taoist temple only appeared after Heshan County became large Yes, so that monster was hidden in Heshan County a long time ago?” Ding Kun asked suspiciously.
On the way back, Liu Xing also thought about this matter, so he directly answered: “Is there such a possibility that this monster may have a certain connection with the real world! Do you still remember that we were in the I met two people near Heshan County in the real world, and they told us why the original Heshan County was abandoned, and also told us about several strange things they encountered when they were young, including the abnormal movement of snakes and rats , so we got an explanation in the previous Heshan County module, so will there be other explanations in this martial arts module? After all, some NPCs in the Heshan County module did not appear here In the next martial arts module.”
“Do you mean that the monster hidden under the tower might be a snake or a mouse?” Ding Kun said with a frown.
“It should be a mouse, because Guo Shanfeng is still living well, so there cannot be two tigers on one mountain, and there should not be two big snakes with good strength in this area; so if this is really a mouse, then it is the same as Guo Shanfeng. Shanfeng may have a hostile relationship, just like the previous Heshan county module! And we now know that the ability of this monster is to lower the temperature and create ice and snow, so if nothing else, it can restrain the mountain wind After all, snakes are cold-blooded animals, so when the temperature is too low, they will continue to lose their vitality. In the end, they can only choose to hibernate honestly, otherwise they may die due to hypothermia. In spring, there will indeed be many hibernating animals that will never wake up again.”
Liu Xing continued to analyze: “So according to the current rhythm, when the monster under the tower fully wakes up, it should be able to create a small-scale storm, that is, it can cover the mountain where the mountain wind is located. , so we can take advantage of this to eliminate Guoshanfeng; but Guoshanfeng can’t just sit still, so when it senses something is wrong, it should choose to get up and look for the enemy that caused the blizzard, so it has a chance to kill the blizzard The monster was swallowed in one gulp, and this is the best time for us to reap the benefits.”
“Liu Xing, what you said is very reasonable, but if this is the case, then Taoist priests with iron guns will most likely also want to reap the benefits of the fisherman! Because monsters are full of treasures, for example, their meat is not only delicious , and can also improve the internal strength of the eater, and some can even improve the strength, agility or eyesight of the eater. At the same time, the fur of these monsters can be used to make armor, and the bones can be used to forge weapons. If it is a large monster It can even be used as the pillars of a building, or the keel of a ship.”
Ding Kun continued: “However, among the materials that monsters can provide, the most valuable one should be the inner alchemy, because only a few monsters can provide inner alchemy, such as the fire tiger is one of them, after all, the flames on it It didn’t come out of nowhere, they were all energy obtained from the inner alchemy; and the empty fire crow and Guoshanfeng seemed to have inner alchemy, but in fact they should not have it, because the air compression cannon of the empty fire crow is It is formed by breathing air and then compressing the air, and the poisonous mist on Guoshanfeng’s body is also formed by eating poisonous plants for many years, so it is not considered a serious magic attack.”
“But the Warcraft under the tower is different. Judging from the current situation, it can really lower the temperature through the air, so it should have an ice-type inner alchemy, and the quality is not low, so this If an inner alchemy is sold on the market, there will definitely be many sects willing to pay a high price, and of course it can also be used to recruit some masters to work for them; after all, the inner alchemy can not only help you practice, but also directly when necessary. Take it to improve your internal strength, even in the process of fighting, you can use your own internal strength to activate the inner alchemy, so that your attacks will be attached with attribute damage. In general, the inner alchemy has many uses and the effect is very good, so it has been valuable all these years. city.”
After listening to Ding Kun’s words, Liu Xing nodded and said: “It seems that Taoist Iron Spear is here for this inner alchemy, and his trump card may be a rooster. Of course, this rooster should also be a monster. Maybe it was used to deal with Guoshanfeng, because I have heard many stories about roosters catching snakes before, and the final winners are basically roosters; although Guoshanfeng is relatively big, the problem lies in Guoshanfeng The wind may be in a semi-hibernating state due to the freezing weather, so at this time, the passing mountain wind will not only lose the poisonous fog protection, but also be able to exert 30% of its strength.”
“And the weapons used by Taoist Iron Spear can also target Guo Shanfeng. As long as he can get close, Guo Shanfeng who is in poor condition can only be used as mermaid.”
