Chapter 58, Bowing
Gu Jia looked at Yan Xun, then at Yan Yu, and finally said in a low voice, "I'll wait for you outside."
Then, without waiting for Yan Xun's consent or disagreement, he left Cimu Hall directly.
Once only the two of them were left in the room, Yan Yu glanced at the furnishings and said apologetically, "There aren't any extra chairs here." He then pulled Yan Xun to sit on the edge of the bed, saying, "You can sit here."
Yan Xun watched as he poured himself a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.
“I don’t drink hot tea,” Yan Xun said.
He always felt that Yan Yu was not a living person, so of course he dared not eat the things he was given.
Yan Yu was not angry when he heard this. He simply placed the teacup on the dresser next to him and sat down next to Yan Xun. He seemed very interested in Yan Xun's life outside and asked many questions.
This includes, but is not limited to, internet cafes, fast food restaurants, amusement parks, and the places where Yan Xun goes to school.
The first three questions were of course no challenge for Yan Xun; he simply made up some details about the school part.
As he spoke, Yan Yu listened intently, as if trying to grasp the essence of the big city he had never been to through Yan Xun's description. Even after Yan Xun stopped talking until his throat was dry, Yan Yu still felt that there was more to say.
He lowered his eyes and touched the beaded bracelet on his wrist. "It sounds nice."
"I have never been to such a far place before."
If Yan Xun were a considerate person, he would definitely have said a lot of comforting words by now. But Yan Xun is a "brat" who jumps around in the movie - the kind of teenage character most commonly seen in horror movies. So when faced with his distant cousin's low spirits, he just nodded and said, "He's actually doing quite well."
"It's a pity you didn't have the chance to go."
Yan Yu looked up at him.
Yan Xun blinked. "Cousin, why don't you take advantage of your honeymoon and go for a stroll outside the village?" He took the opportunity to probe another topic.
"I?"
Yan Yu touched the beaded bracelet on her wrist again, "It's inconvenient for me to go out."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xun looked at Yan Yu's legs and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with your legs."
Seemingly finding Yan Xun's answer adorably silly, Yan Yu smiled slightly, "It has nothing to do with legs and feet."
He turned to look behind him, through the wall, at the spot where the statue of the Compassionate Mother was located. "I'm here, it's not convenient for me to leave."
Yan Xun thought to himself, "Isn't it obvious that there's something wrong with Cimu Hall?"
He wanted to ask about the golden statue of the Compassionate Mother and the wooden box next to it, but he was worried that asking in the Compassionate Mother's Hall would trigger a death flag. So he thought for a moment and said, "Cousin, can you show me around the village?"
He wanted to lure Yan Yu out first.
Yan Yu hesitated for only a moment before agreeing to Yan Xun's invitation.
He asked Yan Xun to wait in his room for a while, and then returned to the place where the statue of the Compassionate Mother was located... Yan Xun stood by the threshold of the side room and could only see Yan Yu walk into the depths of that room. After a while, he left the hall.
Seeing Yan Xun standing at the door, he was somewhat surprised, "So rushed?"
He seemed to think that Yan Xun was eager for him to show him around Wusheng Village.
Yan Xun mumbled a few words; he couldn't very well say, "I'm watching to see what you're up to!"
As soon as the two left the Cimu Hall, Yan Xun saw Gu Jia standing at the entrance, pretending to be a mushroom, with her head down and not saying a word.
Hearing footsteps, Gu Jia turned around and saw that it was Yan Xun walking over. When he saw Yan Yu standing next to him, he stopped slightly and said, "You're here too."
Although his tone was monotone, anyone present could tell that he disliked Yan Yu.
“Xiao Yan asked me to show him around the village,” Yan Yu said. He glanced at Gu Jia and then looked away, as if even looking at her would bring bad luck. When he looked at Yan Xun, his expression softened. “Where would you like to go?”
Occasionally, villagers would pass by, and whoever they were would greet Yan Yu when they saw him.
Yan Yu responded to each of them.
They looked at Yan Xun and Gu Jia with puzzled expressions, muttered something to themselves, and then asked, "Bai Kan, who are these two?"
Yan Yu introduced Yan Xun to the villagers, saying that he was his distant cousin... The villagers obviously remembered Yan Xun's mother. After hearing his mother's name, they nodded and looked at Yan Xun without any wariness.
As for Gu Jia, Yan Yu's introduction was very simple: he said she was a college student who had gotten lost before.
The villager who was speaking glanced at Gu Jia a few more times, then nodded to Yan Yu before leaving.
After the villagers left, Yan Xun repeated the word "Baikan" that the villagers had just used, asking, "What does that mean?"
“It was my elder brother’s idea,” Yan Yu said.
"...?" If he wasn't mistaken, the villager who had just spoken seemed to be 60 years old?
Seeing the confusion on Yan Xun's face, Yan Yu whispered, "Because I am my mother's eldest son."
“I am the elder brother of everyone.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Jia beside him, but perhaps out of concern for the presence of outsiders, he did not continue.
Yan Xun turned around and looked at the golden-roofed building behind him. Could it be that everyone in Wusheng Village believed in the "compassionate mother"? Otherwise, why would they call Yan Yu their elder brother?
As for the "eldest son of a loving mother" mentioned by the other party, Yan Xun felt that this identity should be equivalent to a divine servant.
Gu Jia seemed oblivious to Yan Yu's dislike of him, remaining standing still.
In the end, it was the three players who had been wandering around the village earlier who spotted Gu Jia. Sun Yue looked puzzled, as if she didn't understand why Gu Jia, who ignored everyone, was following behind Yan Xun.
Ruan Yun and Meng Zhi exchanged a glance.
They were all players who had bought the basic scenario and knew that Wusheng Village was not so simple. They had tested Gu Jia a few times before to see if he was a player or an NPC, but they didn't expect him to be so taciturn. He didn't react at all when they mentioned keywords like "system" or "dungeon". So they thought he was most likely an NPC.
Unlike Sun Yue, who was fighting alone, Ruan Yun and Meng Zhi were teammates in the same guild. After entering the dungeon, they knew that there were other players besides them.
They had already made prior contact when Sun Zhao went to get breakfast.
The moment they saw Sun Zhao's appearance, they both knew they had it in the bag!
The opponent is a famous player on the leaderboard. With Sun Zhao leading the way, this movie instance will definitely be no problem.
Seeing that Sun Zhao didn't react at all, Sun Yue and the other two became even more certain that she was a novice player. As for Gu Jia, he was in the room at the time and didn't come out, so he didn't even run into Sun Zhao.
Meng Zhi looked at Yan Yu standing behind Yan Xun. The script he bought told him that this person should be the big boss of Wusheng Village, and the Cimu Hall behind him was even more extraordinary.
So he tried to ingratiate himself, "Brother Yan Yu, may I go and see the Cimu Hall?"
He made a gesture of putting his hands together, saying, "I also want to go in and pray."
