Chenjiaweizi, in the small courtyard at the head of the village.

Xiaohua huddled in the corner, looking at the small table.

The three figures sit together in perfect harmony.

The fox-eared girl chatted with the old lady and smiled from time to time.

Although the old lady was old, she was still sharp and sharp, and she had a great time chatting with Hu Xiaobei.

Su Xi repeated the chewing action with an expressionless face, swallowed the strange-tasting soup, and then secretly spit out the contents of her mouth.

She suddenly regretted coming here.

Not only had a finger cut off, but I also had to watch Hu Xiaobei talking and laughing with the old lady while eating this kind of food.

Quite frustrating.

Of course, the other two didn't think so.

"The little girl is so handsome, she looks like she comes from a big city."

The old lady grabbed Hu Xiaobei's hand and praised him cheerfully.

"No way, you really know how to joke."

The girl waved her hands and smiled like a flower.

"Is there anyone you like?"

The old lady seemed to have awakened some innate skill and continued to ask.

"cough…"

The girl's face turned red and she quickly changed her subject.

After a few casual conversations, Hu Xiaobei began to get down to business.

She pointed around and spoke again.

"Grandma, what is the fog here?"

"Mist? Let me think about it..."

The old lady began to think, her wrinkles shrinking into a ball.

Hu Xiaobei withdrew his palm without leaving a trace, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

She knew that that bowl of food must not be eaten.

Of course, it’s okay to feed it to others.

Hu Xiaobei doesn't have any perverted hobbies, she just needs Su Xi to buy time for herself.

It's not that I have to get any clues from the old lady.

Just asking for half a sentence is a good thing in this confused state.

"Mist, I remembered it."

The old lady nodded and then pointed at Su Xi.

"This little girl was brought by the expedition team."

"It seems to have been more than ten years ago...it started like this as soon as they left."

"I heard that some natural hot spring was dug out, and the hot and cold water turned into mist."

The old lady reached out and patted her knees, as if reminiscing about the past.

"Those people said that mist can strengthen the body and prolong life, but we didn't care."

"At first, village leader Lao Li didn't believe it."

"Later on, everyone's diseases gradually recovered, and so did my rheumatism."

"Even my voice is starting to sound better and better. This thing should also be good for my throat."

"Hey, it's really amazing."

The old lady gave a thumbs up.

“…”

Hu Xiaobei raised his eyebrows but did not speak immediately.

After a while, she spoke again and asked an irrelevant question.

"How old will you be this year?"

"Ah, let me think about it."

The old lady rolled her eyes and gently twirled her fingers.

"I was born in 1919, so I should be almost... ninety."

"You are really tough."

Hu Xiaobei opened his mouth to praise with a very cute smile.

At the same time, he reached out and touched the dagger.

If you were born in 1919, you should turn 100 this year.

Going back seventeen years, I was in my eighties.

The mist did not extend the old lady's life; the pain disappeared because she was dying.

Until now, I have died without knowing it.

"Hey, look at my brain."

The old lady patted her forehead, looked at Su Xi, and then turned to look at Hu Xiaobei.

"Wait, I'll give you a whole bowl."

Quite warm and hospitable.

Hu Xiaobei nodded in agreement, and when the other party stood up and walked into the house, he slowly stood up and showed his short knife.

"Hey...it's quite lively today."

Before Hu Xiaobei could take action, the old lady turned her head abruptly.

His gaze went directly through Hu Xiaobei and towards the door.

There was nothing there, but the old lady was still very enthusiastic.

"Wait, I'll fix it for you..."

Before the old lady finished speaking, half of her head rose into the air, her eyes still fixed on the door.

——

"Bah! You scared me."

Xi Chi shook the blood on the golden flag and spat in a low voice.

Lying in front of him was a mermaid.

They didn't lose their arms like those at the beginning, and the deformity wasn't that serious.

"It's a pity, maybe we can still communicate."

Wang Jin raised his eyebrows.

The tuner is not a detective.

Although he also has strong observation and reasoning abilities, the former is still labeled with the word "weird talk".

Sometimes it would be better to spend a whole day investigating on my own than to inquire about Mian Shan's strange stories.

"She was the one who jumped at me. It was self-defense."

Noticing Wang Jin's gaze, Xi Chi scratched his head guiltily.

"But when you mentioned communication...this mermaid does look like she has something to say."

"It's a pity indeed, my pot, please be careful next time."

Xi Chi sighed and honestly admitted his mistake.

"Carry it."

Wang Jin didn't say much, but threw He Song onto Xi Chi, turned around and walked into the house.

If you can't be a tuner, you can only try to be a detective.

Xiao Hei checked twice in advance, and safety was not a problem.

Squeak—bang!

Wang Jin pushed open the creaking door, causing the house to collapse in half.

The threshold and door frame were badly decayed and were reduced to crumbs by the mist.
