Chapter 919 Oasis (41)

There is something wrong with the Moon-Watching Banquet.

But they have no other clues at the moment, and tonight is the last night... so they must attend.

Yu Congling: "Brother, what if you don't attend?"

"Not attending..." The corners of the brother's lips hooked strangely, and his voice became sharp after each word: "Not attending the banquet after being invited by the host family is disrespectful!"

The last two words were dragged out by the brother.

Disrespectful...

What will happen if you are disrespectful?

This word is not good, especially when combined with the fact that this group of NPCs believe in the "Tree God", the word disrespect is even more creepy.

Yin Su, who was standing behind the crowd, raised his hand: "Brother, do you want to bring a gift?"

When the brother saw Yin Su, his cheeks twitched slightly, and he looked like he didn't want to see her.

He seemed to have done some psychological preparation, and said after a moment: "No need."

"That's so bad." Yin Su was embarrassed, "How can you not give gifts when you have a banquet? I prepared a big gift for them."

The senior brother scolded her with a sullen face: "Don't make trouble!!"

"Hey, I'm talking about etiquette, how can it be considered as making trouble?" Yin Su frowned unhappily: "Senior brother, it's okay if you don't know etiquette, but why are you stopping me?"

The senior brother was too lazy to get entangled with Yin Su, and his dark eyes without a trace of light were filled with a trace of expectation and gloating, "If you want to give it, give it, but if you make the host unhappy, don't blame me for not reminding you."

The senior brother turned around after speaking, without giving Yin Su a chance to speak: "You follow me."

Everyone looked at each other and decided to follow and see.

The senior brother led them to the city gate and finally stopped in front of the first table on the long table.

The city lord was not there, and the NPC Heiya who had been very familiar in the past few days greeted them.

Hei Ya hurriedly arranged seats for them. When someone asked why they were arranged at this table, he explained attentively:

"The city lord has told us that it is our honor to have all the distinguished guests come from afar to attend the Moon Viewing Banquet, so you should sit at the first table."

Hei Ya respectfully invited: "Everyone, please take a seat."

The senior brother sat down directly, and Yin Su sat second, next to the senior brother.

The senior brother glared at her, but Yin Su smiled harmlessly, and the senior brother couldn't do anything about her, so he turned his head and talked to Hei Ya.

Others sat down one after another.

When Lu Zhen came, he saw Yin Su sticking to the senior brother like a dog skin plaster, his face turned black, and he walked over directly, saying very impolitely: "Make way."

Yin Su: "Why?"

Lu Zhen snorted: "No reason, go sit over there."

"I like the senior brother." Yin Su refused, "I want to sit with the senior brother... Senior Brother Lu, you don't like the senior brother too, and you want to compete with me for the senior brother, right?"

Senior Brother: "???"

Lu Zhen: "???"

The two NPCs showed the same disgusted expression.

Lu Zhen looked at her with eyes that looked at a dead person, and cursed her unceremoniously: "Idiot."

Then he walked to the empty seat opposite and sat down.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and people on both sides put up braziers, and the fire gradually illuminated the banquet tonight.

There were more and more NPCs, some sat down to chat, and some ran back and forth to arrange the banquet.

This lively scene was no different from the common hundred-family banquet in ordinary villages.

But the city lord was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing that the banquet was about to begin, Hei Ya, who was standing next to them in the name of taking care of them but actually monitoring them, showed a little anxiety, pacing back and forth, looking left and right.

The other NPCs could not see the city lord, and the chat gradually turned into where the city lord was.

"Where did the city lord go?"

"I don't know. After he told us to prepare for the Moon Viewing Feast in the afternoon, we haven't seen the city lord since then..."

"We thought the city lord went to prepare... and we didn't go to look for him. Who knew that the Moon Viewing Feast was about to start, and the city lord was still missing."

"Did you send someone to look for him?"

"Yes, we did. We only left the underground palace... but the city lord shouldn't go there at this time."

Yin Su didn't get a response when chatting with his senior brother, so he stopped making trouble and sat there quietly, propping up his chin to watch the full moon gradually appearing in the sky.

It seemed that tonight was really a Moon Viewing Feast.

There was a splash of sand and wind, blowing in from outside the high wall, carrying a hazy sob.

As the moon climbed up the sky, more and more food was on the long table. Although there was no big fish or meat, it was also very rich.

The aroma of the food spread, and some players began to swallow their saliva.

It smelled so good...

But these aromas reminded everyone of yesterday morning's breakfast. Thinking of those things, they had to calm down quickly and not let themselves be confused by the aroma.

Qiangwei couldn't help swallowing her saliva, staring at the food on the table with shining eyes.

Wu Bujing's palm fell on Qiangwei's shoulder, and Qiangwei shuddered, and the eager eyes gradually faded.

...

...

The food was almost served, but the city lord still didn't show up.

"Haven't you found the city lord yet?"

"Why did the city lord disappear?"

"It's almost time. How can the Moon-Watching Feast start without the city lord?"

Although the city lord was not there, the NPCs did not panic. Soon a new person in charge was introduced. First, he welcomed the distinguished guests who came from afar, and then began to summarize the gains of the year, thank the tree god for his gifts, etc.

All useless nonsense.

Fortunately, the NPCs were not like some leaders who said a few words. After focusing on thanking the tree god for his gifts, they went straight to the point and announced the official start of the Moon-Watching Feast.

The NPCs cheered, and the clinking of bowls and chopsticks on the long table was heard.

Compared with the NPCs who were feasting, the group of people at the first table seemed too quiet.

How dare the players touch these things...

Hei Ya came over and added water to the cups in front of them... or was it wine?

At this moment, the NPC who spoke earlier came over with a cup: "Dear guests, I'm so sorry for the poor hospitality. Please don't be disgusted. Let me toast you first."

The NPC looked at them with a smile, waiting for them to raise their glasses.

Almost at the same time, the NPCs who were feasting on the long table stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look at them.

Deathly silence.

The NPCs sitting on both sides of the long table, which had no end in sight, looked sideways in the same posture. In the dim light, it was strange and eerie.

"Hoo~"

The sound of the wind blew through the plants on both sides of the road, and everyone felt a chill that went straight into their hearts, freezing their limbs a little numb.

They had to drink this glass of wine even if they didn't want to.

The senior brother didn't notice anything unusual, picked up the glass beside him and stood up, "Uncle Liang, you're too polite, we should toast you first."

The senior brother glanced at the people who were still sitting, and said with such an ignorant expression: "What's wrong with you, why don't you stand up quickly."

Yu Congling glanced at Yin Su.

The latter put down his hand that was supporting his chin, picked up the wine glass on the table and stood up.
