Chapter 243: When a crosstalk actor talks nonsense
The disciple of the Xiao class must have given Qin Xiaoxian some clues, because when Qi Long told everyone the news, Gao Dongqiang followed and found Qin Xiaoxian running to the other end of the village with a shovel.
Everyone followed and found another piece of soft land. Qin Xiaoxian was digging for treasure in it.
"What did I tell you?" Shen Teng asked.
Qin Xiaoxian put on an innocent expression: "It's nothing, you guys go back!"
Okay, there must be something there, let’s keep digging!
This time the digging area was much smaller than before, about the size of the long jump pit commonly seen in the track and field stadium. Soon, Wang Jiaer dug out a box, and on the box was written the legendary treasure "Gem Rice Bowl"!
A group of people rushed to grab it. Wang Jiaer ran with the box in his arms. After running two steps, he stopped and said, "It's locked. It's useless for you to catch me. You have to think about how to unlock it!"
Qin Xiaoxian raised one hand: "I have a clue, do you want to cooperate? I will take you to find the person who told me about this place!"
Wang Jiaer nodded: "Okay!"
When Qin Xiaoxian walked over, he immediately accelerated and tried to snatch the box from Wang Jiaer's hand with lightning speed. However, Wang Jiaer did not believe Qin Xiaoxian, a guy addicted to betrayal, and held the box tightly. The two of them were in a stalemate.
The others were watching the show and slowly moved closer. At this time, the crosstalk artist with Qin Xiaohan's name tag came again.
Everyone rushed up to ask him about the password of the box.
"Hey, you're asking about this key, right? Well, this is a long story. It was not that long ago, but two days ago. But two days ago is also in the past compared to today. It can also be called the past. Or I can use a more modern way to tell it, which is long long ago."
People like Sha Yi, who have never heard this part of the crosstalk, are still listening to him talking nonsense carefully.
Qi Long, Gao Dongqiang and Guo Qilin have lost interest. This is typical nonsense literature in crosstalk. They talk in circles but don't get to the point. It is usually used in "Peeling the Jacket" when people make up stories before covering up a lie to give themselves time to think.
Shen Teng also noticed something was wrong and stopped him: "Wait, just say the key!"
"Oh, keys. Keys are usually used to open locks, but some keys don't have the function of opening locks. Which keys are they? It's about the past. In the past, locks were very beautiful, and the keys were exquisite just for show. Once you locked the lock, others would understand. Do you understand?"
By now everyone realized they had been tricked and started memorizing the lyrics everywhere.
Sha Yi: "If you don't know, just say you don't know. Why are you just leaving it here?"
"My goodness, I haven't heard a single useful piece of information after listening for so long!"
After talking nonsense for a long time, Xiaohan gave an answer, saying that the smartest person in Deyun Village is the village chief, and the village chief must know it!
Finally, a useful clue came. Everyone followed Xiaohan's instructions and came to the village chief's house. Hou Zhen was sitting in a wheelchair playing mobile games, and everyone was calling the village chief.
Hou Zhen raised his head, and more nonsense literature began.
"Stranger, you came here to look for gems, right? Let me tell you, rubies are red, and sapphires are blue."
Guo Qilin stepped forward and said, "Let's find the key, Village Chief! Do you know the key?"
"I know the key. It's used to open locks. Take a key and find a lock. If you try to insert it into the lock cylinder, and it doesn't fit, then it's not the right key!"
"How fresh!" Guo Qilin waved his hands.
Qin Xiaoxian and Wang Jiaer came over with the box in their arms: "The key is in this box."
Hou Zhen looked up and said, "Hey, this box looks like chocolate. You know chocolate, it melts in hot weather, but in winter it becomes crispy and makes a crunchy sound when you put it in your mouth."
"Let's go." Qi Long patted Dong Qiang. He felt there was no hope. What kind of NPCs were these people here to be? They seemed to be here to cause trouble. They had no information and were just talking nonsense to you.
Dongqiang also agreed that it would be more reliable to find clues himself in the village.
Everyone left one after another. Qi Long sighed that the workload of the subtitle teachers in the post-production stage of this episode was really heavy.
"Of course not. Normally, one of you is annoying enough, but here come more than a dozen of you!"
"You're going too far. You've never failed to follow my lead!" "I only have a few lines to sing."
The two brothers were chatting when they noticed a box on top of an empty dog cage outside the house. They ran over and saw that it was also a locked brown box with the words "Gem Rice Bowl" written on it in white pen.
"Is this game about real and fake boxes?" Qi Long guessed.
If you see one box, everyone will scramble for it, but if you see two boxes, there is no need to do that. It is very likely that one box is real and the other is fake, so there is no need to hold them in your hands first.
"It's possible. You can hold it and find another one for me!" Dong Qiang waved his hand.
Qi Long picked up the box and shook it next to his ear. There was no sound of hard objects colliding, but instead there was the rustling sound of a buckwheat pillow, as if it was filled with fine particles.
If it is a real box, then this is a fake box.
Except for Qi Long and Dong Qiang, everyone else also started looking for the key to open the gem box in the village. However, apart from the box, no one found the key. For a while, the game came to a stalemate, and there was no director to give any hints. No one knew what they were busy with.
Some people tried to interact with the NPCs, but the people in Deyun Village either threw nonsense at you or talked nonsense to you.
Some people tried to enter the room marked with the R sign to look for something, but they found nothing. Several people were also driven out by extras played by disciples of Deyun Society.
Some people thought that Hou Zhen kept talking about chocolate, so they used the money they earned from digging gems to buy him chocolate. But Hou Zhen just ate the chocolate without providing any clues. He just sat there, and the chocolate was crunching.
"I've recorded so many variety shows, but I've never been so clueless as this one. I don't know what to do. I haven't found any clues, let alone the key. I just know that everyone in this village can tell crosstalk, and there are scarecrows everywhere in this village." Qi Long joked as he looked at the scarecrows that could be seen everywhere on the roadside.
"Qi Long, Qi Long, come here!" Dong Qiang shouted loudly to Qi Long who was sitting on the ground and complaining.
Qi Long stood up and trotted over. Seeing Gao Dongqiang holding a name tag, he immediately stepped back cautiously: "What are you doing? Are you an undercover agent?"
"No, I tore off Qin Xiaohan's name tag. His name tag was too weird. I thought there would be clues if I tore it off, and there really was one!" Dong Qiang showed it to Qi Long.
On the back of the name tag, there were written the firewood piles of several households in several lanes of a village.
The two ran over quickly based on the clues and found an old newspaper in a large bundle of firewood. The newspaper contained an introduction to Deyun Village.
The introduction says that Deyun Village is famous for making scarecrows. The villagers are all experts in making scarecrows. Scarecrows from nearby villages and even across provinces are all purchased from them.
Later, gems were discovered in the village, and the villagers changed from craftsmen to treasure hunters.
Someone circled this news with a red pen and drew three question marks.
Qi Long and Dong Qiang didn't know why the newspaper promoting the village was hidden in the firewood pile, but they paid attention to the other pages of the newspaper printed by the program team, which were all various news written casually.
Qi Long read it out: "Shocking, a fourteen-year-old girl was only ten years old four years ago!"
"What's so shocking about this?"
"Do you know? People who didn't take interest classes when they were young will have no interest in working when they grow up, so bring your children to sign up for our interest classes!"
Gao Dongqiang was shocked: "Is this the reason why you don't want to go to work?"
"Contact number, any number after 138!"
"Can you get through at any time?"
Qi Long continued, "The Bunny Children's Clothing Store is having a huge discount. The T-shirts originally priced at 299 are now 999 for three pieces. It's a shocking sale!"
“Isn’t this a price increase?”
The program crew took great pains to prepare props and print newspapers to come up with various headlines, but Qi Long and Dong Qiang did not waste any of their hard work and read them all out.
It's fun, but there's still no progress on the clues.
The only thing that is certain is that you can get clues by tearing off the NPC's name tag, so what are you waiting for? Start tearing it off!
