According to Shakusai, "Hidden Friend" is more like a fairy tale. It does not choose the target randomly, but requires someone to choose him.
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be difficult for players of this dungeon to pass the level?" Xu Huo said.
Chicai is also worried, "The real hidden friends are local elderly people, and I don't know if the players who play them will have the same abilities. However, I prefer that the requirement for the dungeon is that the player directly kills the selected target. As for
A friend who was taken away by a friend who was hiding, in such a big forest, who knows where the body is."
"Where are the people?"
While Chicai looked into the distance and spoke, Xu Huo came to the woods a thousand meters away. The players had not searched this area yet, or they might have been there, but they just didn't find the people hiding in the underground tree holes.
.
Opening a covered cave next to a thick tree root protruding from the ground, Xu Huo bent down and took out the little girl whose eyes were closed but breathing evenly.
"Wake up." He patted the girl's cheek.
The child fell into a deep sleep and was woken up several times. She was a little weak from being hungry for a long time and asked, "Uncle, why are you here?"
Xu Huo brought her food and water and asked her to eat something first.
Hungry and the food she had never eaten made the child have a big appetite. She chewed hard and swallowed the food hard. After she was over the initial hunger, she slowed down. Her mouth was full and she said: "If I ask for help,
I wish my sister could eat such delicious food..."
Before she finished speaking, her tears fell.
"Did you run out on your own, or did Sister Toto call you again?" When Xu Huo carried her out, two candies fell next to them, which the painting girl had given her before.
"Sister Toto called me." The little girl was very sad. "I also saw Sister Toto, but she walked too fast and I couldn't keep up. I couldn't give her the candy."
"Then why did you sleep in the tree hole?" Xu Huo returned the candy to her, "Was it cold last night?"
The little girl shook her head, "It's very warm in the tree hole."
After a pause, she turned to look at Xu Huo, "Uncle, is the weirdo in the forest Sister Toto?"
Xu Huo looked at her and his tone became gentler, "Why do you think so?"
"I know that Sister Toto is dead." The little girl said, "Sister Toto's parents and grandma all lied to me, but I know that I heard their whispers. When Sister Toto gave birth,
The brother who married her fell and died in the forest. She was very sad and died together with her child."
"The adults say there are deceitful weirdos in the forest and won't let us leave home. How could Sister Toto lie to me? She must be missing me."
"Sister Toto told me a story before. She said that when a person dies, he does not really die. He just goes back to the forest and never comes out. In the past, there were adults in the village who went to the forest and never came back. They must have lived very far away.
They were far away, so they came out to take a look quietly because they missed us."
She asked Xu Huo, "Uncle, does Sister Totu want me to go with her?"
Xu Huo did not answer her question, but touched her head, "How old was Sister Totuo when she left?"
The little girl looked at her fingers and said, "Twenty."
"How old were the others in your village when they left?"
The little girl was not very good at arithmetic and couldn't count on her fingers, so she had to answer, "They are older than Sister Toto, much older."
"That's right," Xu Huo said, "Maybe Sister Toto misses you very much, but the people in your village all went into the forest when they were old and never came back. You are still very young and cannot leave your family, so
Sister Toto can’t take you away.”
The little girl said with some frustration: "I seemed to hear my brother's cry when I was chasing Sister Toto. I gave the candy to Sister Toto and told her that I was not going, but Sister Toto disappeared and I couldn't find her home.
The only way to go is through tree holes."
"Let's do this." Xu Huo said: "Sister Totuo may live very far away, and she is different from you. It is inconvenient for her to come to you to play. You entrust these two candies to me. If I
If you bump into her on the way out, I’ll give it to her for you. If you don’t bump into her, I’ll give the candy to the family she married into, okay?”
"I am an adult and will not get lost."
This seemed to be a good idea, and the little girl happily agreed, but soon became afraid again, "My brother helped me lie to grandma and the others. He will definitely get beaten. Will I get beaten when I go back?"
"Not necessarily," Xu Huo pulled her up and patted the grass blades off her back, "Have you ever been beaten before? Does it hurt?"
"Mom's spanking didn't hurt, but grandma's spanking hurt a lot." The little girl took his hand and followed him.
"Then I'll give you a small cushion and you can stuff it quietly into your clothes so no one knows." Xu Huo suggested.
"Grandma is the smartest person, no one can lie to her." The little girl felt that this method was unreliable, "She would pull out the pad and hit it again."
"Well...then you have to endure it for now. I'll give you a bag of candy secretly. You think you'll have something delicious to eat after the beating, so it shouldn't hurt so much."
"Really? It's great to be an adult. You can bring a lot of delicious food!"
"Yeah, you can wait until you grow up, but the prerequisite for growing up is that you can't run around in the future. If you get lost and your family can't find you, what will you do?"
"I can eat things in the forest. I can find mushrooms and wild vegetables at dawn."
"How many mushrooms and wild vegetables do you know?"
"A lot...not much. Some mushrooms and wild vegetables cannot be eaten. If you eat too much, you will die. But after you die, you must move in with Sister Toto and the others. That way you won't be able to see your parents, grandma and brother.
, I don’t want this.”
"Sister Toto lives with her children and husband, and you should live with your family too."
"Then will Sister Toto's child grow up?"
"Maybe, maybe a dwarf."
"What is a dwarf?"
"It's the person who never grows up."
"Wow, always a kid!"
…
According to the location map given by the villagers, Xu Huo took the girl back to Shangmu Village. Grandma Yi was waiting at home with her grandson, while her son and daughter-in-law went out to look for someone. When she saw her granddaughter suddenly appearing in front of the door, she opened the door and rushed out.
He held down the child and slapped her twice. After the spanking, he hugged her tightly with red eyes, "You damn woman, I told you not to run around, don't run around!"
The little girl cried after being beaten. She also hugged Granny Yi and said, "Grandma, I don't dare to do it anymore!"
The little boy stood at the door, looked at the two of them, and opened his mouth to cry.
