The opening mechanism of this character card is really weird.
More importantly, he triggered the character card that Hongrao thought was as rare as the resurrection card.
Xu Shuo had already endured the memory of the character cards in the second-level script. At this time, he had endured the memory of the first-level script. Basically, he was in a trance for a while, and then he came to his senses.
Suddenly, his expression became very strange.
After opening the character card mission, you can obtain all the characters' memories, which is equivalent to getting half of the script.
Then Xu Shuo discovered that he might still be... unable to escape the identity of the murderer this time.
Although he didn't commit murder or arson, he did almost everything else.
Fortunately, his mentality has calmed down now. As long as the script does not collapse, it will be fine. This time Hongrao chose the cover script for him, so it cannot collapse under any circumstances!
Xu Shuo's eyes were fierce for a moment, but when the little girl came closer, he quickly put his expression away.
"Uncle Dai, what are you looking at?" The little girl poked her head out curiously.
"It's nothing." Xu Shuo touched the top of her head and said with a smile: "You can go take a nap now. My uncle will pick you up at my house for dinner in the evening."
In my memory, the little girl has been to everyone's house and basically grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. It won't cause anything wrong if he takes her back.
The little girl was actually not sleepy, but when she heard what he said, she nodded obediently.
…
After Xu Shuo left the ancestral hall, he went directly back to his home.
Because he had already eaten before arriving and was not hungry, he did not cook at noon. However, what farmers are good at is stocking up on food. Xu Shuo dug out a bag of white flour cakes from the cabinet.
He packed the food in his suitcase and filled a large pot of water with a warm water bottle, bringing enough food for several days.
Then, he remembered that there was a box of chess in the drawer, so he also put it in the bag.
In the afternoon, not many people walked around the village, they were all busy in the fields.
The village chief hired others to help with the work on the property, so Xu Shuo didn't need to worry about it. After he prepared his things, he didn't even need to go out the front door and walked directly from the backyard to the mountains.
There is a bamboo forest on this mountain, which also belongs to the village chief's home. Further back, different fruit trees are planted in the divided mountain area.
Continue walking deeper and you will gradually reach undeveloped areas.
Xu Shuo held a randomly picked up stick and tapped the grass with a calm expression. He passed by a path full of thorns and branches, carefully slid down a short slope full of gravel and soil, and stood at the bottom of the slope.
.
There are dense bushes ahead, but after pushing aside the camouflaging plants outside, you can see a cave.
The dark, dry cave passage was very narrow at first, and after the cat walked a certain distance, it opened up. It was so dark inside that even the light at the entrance of the cave was only a small dot.
"Who is coming?" Suddenly, a weak voice sounded from the dark and silent cave.
"Me." Xu Shuo said.
After he responded, the voice stopped speaking.
Xu Shuo's vision was not blocked in the darkness. He walked directly to the wall and lit a candle with a match. The small cave suddenly became brighter.
He lit two candles to illuminate the entire small cave.
In the corner of the cave with rugged ground, an old man wearing gray cloth sat on the ground. His face was haggard, his expression was in a trance, and he looked very depressed.
After all, I haven't eaten for a day and I am still an old man.
There were a lot of debris piled up in the cave, and there was a faint smell of metabolism. It was very nauseating to be stuffed in this unventilated place.
There are raised stones in the uneven cave, and a chain is tied to the old man's right foot and the stone, binding him here.
This is the missing old village chief.
After Xu Shuo finished lighting the candles, he walked over and placed his luggage next to the old man, opened the bag and took out water and food.
Seeing him approaching, the old man's cloudy eyes condensed, anger and disappointment appeared on his face, he was shaking with anger, and he opened his mouth to curse: "You--"
"Eat first, then scold after eating." Xu Shuo picked up the white flour cake and stuffed it into his open mouth.
The old man subconsciously took a bite of the pancake. The food he brought last time had been eaten yesterday, but the acting village chief hadn't sent any food yet. He had indeed been hungry all day.
No matter how angry and resentful you are, you can't let your body collapse.
So, while the old man was eating and cursing, Xu Shuo got up and dragged the toilet out of the cave, walked far away and dumped it in the bushes.
After returning, he diligently tidied up the messy cave.
However, due to the lack of ventilation, the vague smell could not be eliminated, which made Xu Shuo dare not even yawn, and he felt a little nauseous even when he took a breath.
The old man didn't have so many scruples. Maybe he was very hungry and he could eat even if the air was smelly.
After all, he has been living this kind of life for several months, and he will get used to it no matter how unacceptable it is.
Xu Shuo looked at him quietly, and still had the leisure to hand the old man some water when he was choked. After he had almost eaten, he said, "It's probably a few more days."
"Huh?" The old man didn't respond for a moment.
"Those things will be over in the next few days, and I will let you out then." Xu Shuo continued.
Hearing this, the old man's mind wandered for a while before he came to his senses and asked hurriedly: "What do you want to do? I tell you, you must not mess around. This entire village is the foundation of our ancestors.
, you do these things, you are not afraid of poking your spine!"
After speaking, the old man cursed angrily again.
Xu Shuo calmly listened to his scolding, and when the old man took a breath, he said again: "So I won't come here again in the past few days until the matter is over. The food is enough for you to cope with it for a week. Besides, if you are bored,
, just play chess by yourself."
While talking, Xu Shuo took out the box of chess.
Seeing how kind-hearted he is, even though he is not his biological father, he has specially prepared entertainment activities in order to fulfill his role of filial piety.
The old man was so angry that he overturned the chess piece!
"The traitor!"
He was shaking with anger again, and his haggard face was extremely angry: "You have to do these messy things, right? You have to let the outside world see our jokes, right? Can't you just keep your feet on the ground and walk well!"
"You misunderstood." Xu Shuo picked up the chess and said, "I am planning to solve the 'Green Faced Tusk' issue these days, but there are too many people watching outside, so I have to solve it secretly, so you can't go back now
.”
If the old village chief appears, the old man's character will definitely explode. Then his identity will be exposed, and his ability to do things will be restricted.
Now he not only needs to complete the main mission and get the character card, he also has to fill up the card slot of [Acting Village Chief].
Therefore, since the old village chief has lived here for a few months, it would not be a bad idea to continue living here for a few more days.
