It's so obvious that it no longer requires explanation.

Smart people often know how to distinguish between pros and cons, and how can smart people not know what grouping means? There is no doubt that everyone here, whether they are veterans or newcomers, is not a fool. Let’s not talk about whether it is absolutely safe to stay at Will Farm, at least a little bit.

Anyone with any brains can easily see that the group that went out to the forest to execute Target 2 was bound to be in danger, because everyone had already observed the forest from a distance before entering the farm. It was a dark forest, and there was a lot of danger.

This is a strange forest that even the sun cannot illuminate. It is so gloomy and chilly. In addition, a faceless man has appeared in the forest in the video preview. All these scenes prove that the forest is by no means a good place. On the contrary, in

When I passed through the plain wheat fields and where I am currently on the farm, I never saw the shadow of the faceless man. Therefore, after comparing the two parties, the reality brought some psychological hints to some of the executors, that is...

…

The forest is extremely dangerous!

On the contrary, it is safer to stay on the plain farms outside the forest.

It is human nature to avoid danger, and it is not human nature to be greedy for life and afraid of death. Therefore, he raised his head and stared at the scene. After a cursory glance at the people in the living room, and after roughly witnessing the reactions of the crowd, He Fei already had an idea, and clicked

He nodded and was about to speak, but who would have thought that before he could open his mouth to say something, Chen Xiaoyao made a sudden move before the college student!

First, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised in a mean smile, and then without saying anything, he raised his hand and slapped Chen Shuihong on the shoulder with his right hand.

Snap.

"Okay! Well done, Brother Chen! You just kept winking at me, right? I saw it, and I understand what you meant. Don't you just want to accompany us to the forest? Oh, I said Brother Chen, you are so stupid

People are just too introverted. If you want to join the forest search team, just come forward. Why do you have to hint that I will express my position for you? Well, since you are so insistent, then..."

It was like a thunderbolt hitting his forehead, and a strong electric current sweeping through his whole body. At the same time, just as the young Taoist priest stated the 'truth' with a mean smile on his face, Chen Shuihong reacted instantly. In the flash of lightning, Chen Shuihong, who had just lowered his head and pretended to be mute, was killed on the spot.

Three souls were frightened and seven Buddhas ascended to heaven. They were threatened by Taoist Chen's words.

He was so scared! Sure enough, before the other party could finish what he said, the fat man suddenly raised his head and stared at Chen Xiaoyao. He first looked at Chen Xiaoyao with a shocked look of "You fucking cheated me", and then shook his head crazily in denial: "No!

No! I didn’t say I was going, and I never hinted at you with my eyes from the beginning to the end. You mustn’t lie!”

"Eh? I'm talking nonsense? But you clearly hinted at me with your eyes just now?"

Chen Shuihong became more and more frightened and worried that others would believe him, and when he saw that the other party would not let him go, he was about to cry without tears. The middle-aged fat man gradually turned from shouting to wailing: "No! Absolutely not. I kept my head down from beginning to end, I

He didn't even raise his head, and which one of your eyes saw me winking at you?"

At this moment, witnessing Chen Shuihong's fearful reaction and frequent denials in his words, for some reason, the seniors who understood that this was Chen Xiaoyao's deliberate attempt to tease the fat man did not laugh out loud as expected, but instead felt the urge to laugh.

The weird feeling of not being able to laugh again, casually

Taking a deep breath to change his thoughts, he ignored the teasing between Chen Xiaoyao and Chen Shuihong. The next moment, He Fei stood up from his seat, and then told everyone his personal decision in a calm tone: "Since group execution is inevitable, go

I’m included in the forest search group…”

"Wait a moment!"

There was no reason, no reason. Just when the college student was about to express his willingness to join the forest search team, before he could finish his words, his voice was interrupted again. This time, the person who interfered with He Fei's speech was no longer Chen Xiaoyao, but Zhao.

flat!

Everyone looked back and looked intently, and saw the man with glasses looking around the scene expressionlessly.

Xu Shi never cared about other people's feelings or what others thought. Facing the curious gazes of He Fei and everyone present, the bespectacled man who was targeted by a lot of eyes still remained calm and composed, maintaining a gentle temperament. He did not speak immediately.

He did not react too much, but instead raised his hand to hold up his glasses under the gaze of everyone. After doing the movement and putting his arms back, the man slowly stood up and left the sofa, and finally said two words to everyone:

"Draw lots."

………

Lottery refers to the random selection method used when people face difficult choices. It usually refers to personnel selection. The answer is determined by wooden sticks or paper. This method is basically fair. People also often use lottery methods in daily life.

question.

Drawing lots is very simple, even if you use local materials, you only need a few slips of paper. Soon, under the anxious gazes of most of the executioners, Qian Xueling crumpled three slips of paper with the word "forest" on them into a ball.

, and then in front of everyone, he threw the three pieces of paper that represented bad luck in the eyes of ordinary people into the glass with the other six blank paper pieces below. After shaking the cup in his hand a few times, Qian Xueling

Put the water glass back on the coffee table.

After confirming that the process was correct and nodding, Zhao Ping calmly said: "I don't need to explain the rules anymore, right? Except for Brother Peng, Chen Xiaoyao and Li Tianheng, who have decided to join the forest group, they do not need to participate in the lottery.

Among the remaining 9 slips, 3 will have the word 'forest' written on them. If you draw a slip without a word, you will stay on the farm. As for the one with 'forest' written on it..."

The man with glasses did not continue speaking, but immediately scanned the people around him with a pair of cold eyes. Of course, even if the man with glasses deliberately hesitated to speak, everyone who participated in the draw knew what he was talking about. Let’s not talk about the current situation with Chen Shuihong and others.

The newcomers were so frightened that some of them even greeted the eighteenth generation of Zhao Ping's ancestors crazily in their hearts! The reason is simple.

What He Fei meant was that everyone made a voluntary choice, whether to go to the forest to find cards or stay on the farm to wait and see what happens. There was no forced element. These people were secretly happy about this. However, they were only happy for a moment, but they broke out halfway.

Cheng Yaojin, that glasses bastard named Zhao Ping just stopped the captain, and then changed the original voluntary decision to a fair draw!

Draw lots, draw lots! Fair enough, but this is also a screening method that completely tests luck. If you are lucky, you will get a blank sheet and stay on the farm, but if you are not lucky... it will really be the same as reaching a dead end.

, once you get the unlucky lot, you won’t even think about it.

Okay, the consequences of not going will be more serious, because these people who are unwilling to go to the forest still remember one thing clearly, that is, a few minutes ago, when they just decided to draw lots, the short-haired girl named Cheng Ying

The girl once gave a cold warning to everyone present:

"Anyone who draws the word 'forest' must go. If anyone dares not to go, I will kill him!"

So, under the despicable suggestion of the man in glasses and the death threat from the professional killer, except for the three active requesters such as Peng Hu, the rest of the people could only nod their heads no matter whether they were willing or not.

At this moment, looking at the 9 pieces of paper scrunched up in the water cup, the executors gathered around the coffee table had mixed emotions. But then again, although fear is the mainstream, there are still exceptions to reality. Some people

It’s natural to be afraid

People don't care, just like Kong Ling at this moment. Seeing that everyone was staring at the water glass for a long time without any movement, the girl smiled, blinked her big eyes, and then raised the corner of her mouth with a smile and said: "Huh? No one smokes first? In that case, then I

Just come first!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl who moved quickly reached into the cup and pinched out a paper ball directly from the cup. If there was one, there would be two. After Kong Ling pinched out the first paper ball, He Fei took out the paper ball.

Cheng Ying ranked third, followed by Qian Xueling,

Chen Shuihong, Peng Yuxiang, Chen Guangyu and Zhou Bingbing also took out paper balls respectively. When there was only the last paper ball left in the cup, Zhao Ping, who had been silent for a long time, reached out and took out the last paper ball under everyone's gaze.

Take it in your hand.

………

The sun is setting slightly in the west and the light is slightly attenuated.

At the same time, just as a group of executors gathered in the living room to participate in the lottery, there was another farm about a mile away from Will's farm.

Will completed the task, trotting all the way without stopping, and finally arrived at his only neighbor's farm before James drove away. The result was predictable. After learning that the expert team that Will had been waiting for had arrived early,

James was really happy for Will, and by the way, he asked for Will's food. Before leaving, he repeatedly promised that he would buy enough food for him as requested, ensuring that there would be only a little more than enough, but...

To Will's surprise, James was no longer the only one going to the town to deliver goods this time, but Tom also accompanied him.

Will likes Tom, a smart boy, very much. Not to mention that the boy is the first friend he has made since moving to Dalusan. The boy's unique painting talent alone is enough to impress him. In fact, Will

In addition to asking the neighbor for some ingredients, the other purpose is to meet Tom and inform him about the arrival of the experts. This is said to be true, but it is also true. When I heard that a group of scientific researchers came to Will's house, I

environmental restrictions

As a result, the blond boy who found it difficult to contact outsiders really became energetic! However, after thinking about begging his father for five whole days before finally getting a chance to go to the town, and struggling for a long time, the boy finally reluctantly refused, and he couldn't have his cake and eat it too.

In desperation, he first decided to accompany the fat father to the town. It was true, but the child was a child after all. Before leaving, he still did not forget to turn around and tell Will, reminding him that he must keep the expert and make sure the expert waits.

He comes back.

As he watched the tractor go further and further away, Will was amused. The experts didn't come here specifically to see you. Why do you, a little brat, give orders to the experts? Of course, even if your request is excessive, this seemingly excessive request

It was really satisfying. After all, before coming here, the team leader surnamed He had stated that the expert team would stay on the farm for a while and there would be no problem staying for more than a week. It was a coincidence that Tom's wish was fulfilled.

Back to the topic, as the father and son drove away, and saw that he was the only one left in the farm compound, Will subconsciously turned around and left with the intention of going home. Unfortunately, he still underestimated the enthusiasm of his neighbors. Yes, just as he was about to leave, Will

At that time, Mrs. James, who had just returned from herding sheep, happened to be driving her sheep back to the farm. As a result, Will could not leave for the time being...

"Huh? Will is here. Come and sit in the house. There is a cream cake that has been cooked in advance!"

Similar to James himself, his hard-working wife is also a good person. Under the erosion of time, although the woman has reached middle age and is no longer young, her ability to be hospitable is not inferior to that of her husband. Sure enough, seeing her only neighbor coming again, the woman directly

Will pushed into the living room, riding a horse while driving the sheep into the sheepfold with the help of the sheepdog.

At this moment, staring at the busy woman outside the door, and looking at the snow-white and sweet cake on the table, Wilton felt speechless. As described before, the purpose of his coming here this time was just to ask James to bring some ingredients.

Let's go, after all, there are still guests at home, but now Tom's mother forcibly invites him into the house to eat cake, while he is busy outside the door.

Just ignore it and just leave?

You can't do this. First of all, you must understand that treating Americans to dinner is a rigid social interaction and has great significance. If you don't eat or refuse, it means you don't give the other person face. What's more, the James family happens to be Will's only neighbor in the local area. As the only neighbor

, Unless he is an idiot, no one wants to have unhappiness between neighbors. Because of this, in the end, Will chose to compromise and planned to eat all the cake in front of him before leaving. It was just a piece of cake, and not much time was wasted.

However...

Just as he turned around and tried to find the dining knife and fork, he saw a painting taped to the wall of the living room.

A pencil sketch that is too ordinary to be considered ordinary. The content of the drawing is just a farm tractor that is slightly scrawled due to lack of skill. There is no doubt that this drawing is 100% made by Tom, and the tractor is also most likely.

The car that his father often drove. However, when he saw the pictures on the wall, for some reason, a certain thought that had been hidden in his heart suddenly resurfaced.

(Is the painting still there? If it is still there, where is the painting now?)

As thoughts suddenly emerged in his mind, Will gave up on destroying the cake, and instead glanced at the door next door, raised his feet and pushed the door open.
To be continued...
