Xu Shuo held the little girl's hand and walked in the woods.
The little girl was held in one hand, and the other hand was playing with the passing leaves and trees in boredom. From time to time, she would quietly pick a wild fruit and stuff it into her mouth at lightning speed.
She seemed to be unable to taste the food, so she chewed it calmly and then looked at Xu Shuo's expression secretly.
After passing the orchard, the bushes and thorns in the dense forest began to increase, and the undeveloped back hill was overgrown with weeds. Xu Shuo picked up the little girl again.
"Uncle Dai, where are we going?" the little girl asked softly.
"Do you like this mountain?" Xu Shuo pinched her smooth and delicate face and asked without answering.
"I like it!" The little girl nodded seriously, with no other emotions in her eyes.
"Do you like this village?"
"like!"
"Do you like everyone in the village?"
"like!"
If you make her like it, she will like it.
Xu Shuo smiled and said no more. He carried the little girl to the familiar low hillside and pushed aside the bushes blocking the entrance of the cave.
Behind the cramped narrow passage is a small cave that is dark and smelly.
The little girl was put down by him and walked forward, but she was not afraid at all and ran in happily as if playing.
There were candles lit in the cave, and the old village chief was eating white flour cakes. Suddenly he saw a pretty little girl running in from outside, which made him stunned for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Shuo also walked in.
"Who is this little girl?" the old village chief asked doubtfully. After asking, he remembered something and became furious: "You traitor! Could it be that you don't even let such a small child go!"
The little girl was startled by his shout, and quickly turned back and ran behind Xu Shuo, cowardly grabbing his trouser legs to hide.
"Her name is Xiaoqing, don't scare her." Xu Shuo said, touching the little girl's head comfortingly.
Xu Shuo was not surprised that the old village chief didn't recognize the orphan living in the ancestral hall, because the time when the little girl actually appeared was only five months ago.
But in everyone's knowledge, this little girl has lived in the ancestral hall for several years. She is an orphan without a father and mother, and she relies on charity from the villagers.
The old village chief also left the village at that time. In this incident, he was the only outsider.
Xu Shuo stepped forward, untied the shackles on the old village chief's hands, and said, "The matter over there has been settled, you can go back to the village now."
After saying this, he looked at his player's manual with no expression on his face.
The old village chief was still a little confused at this time. He looked at the cute and cute little girl, then at his son who seemed to be a stranger in front of him, and finally at the shackles that represented his freedom.
The next moment, the old village chief picked up the warm kettle and threw it at Xu Shuo: "You traitor! Let me beat you to death!"
Bang!
The warm kettle hit his head and made a dull sound. Xu Shuo did not avoid it. He just looked into space and frowned slightly.
The little girl next to her was stunned when she saw this, and then angrily raised her fist and hit the old village chief, and shouted anxiously: "Bad guy! You bullied Uncle Dai!"
"No...I didn't..." Seeing that he didn't hide away, the old village chief was stunned, and then he became at a loss: "He obviously trapped me here, but in the end I bullied him, and besides, I am him
Lao Tzu, let me teach you a lesson..."
"Bad guy, bad guy!" The little girl waved her fist reluctantly, her round eyes glowing slightly red.
"You little kid doesn't understand..."
"Bad guy!"
"..."
Xu Shuo ignored the farce next to him and just stared at the progress bar that showed no progress at all, lost in thought.
Why is there still no change?
Reports to promote the village were sent out to reporters, the wall paintings were finished, the monster issue was almost solved, and the old village chief was released... Why is there no progress on this character card?
[Congratulations to the players for completing all the main missions. This theater will end in one minute. Please be prepared. 】
Suddenly, the system's voice sounded again, Xu Shuo's face darkened, and his eyes became sharper.
Did he think wrongly?
If we look back at the plot of the entire script, taking the disappearance of the old village chief at the beginning as an opportunity, female reporters, detectives, and painters were in place, and Old Man Huang died on the first night...
Wait, that’s not right!
In the last few dozen seconds, Xu Shuo's brain was running wildly, and he remembered a character who left the scene prematurely——
What is the mission of the trench coat detective?
He said that he came to the village to investigate after receiving a commission from the old village chief, so his mission must be related to the missing old village chief.
The old village chief cannot be an irrelevant character from the edge to the end!
Before this, before Xu Shuo got the character card, he had no idea that an old village chief was imprisoned in the back mountain.
If...he didn't get the memory of the character card, then the old village chief would starve to death in the next few days.
Xu Shuo suddenly realized!
It was already afternoon when he entered the game, and the food he had prepared for the old village chief had been eaten long ago. How could the acting village chief forget this? He didn't send the food the day before, and he didn't send it the next morning either.
To get food, this old man was hungry all day and all night!
He was clearly waiting for the old village chief to starve to death!
Xu Shuo could get the character's memory, but not the character's thoughts. After understanding the situation, he subconsciously sent food according to the character's previous behavior.
But the acting village chief wanted the old man to die so that he could take complete control of the village.
"Forget it, I won't argue with you, a little kid. I have to go back to the village right now. This traitor doesn't know what he has done to the village!"
After he finished thinking, the movement next to him gradually became clearer, and the noise of the two people reached his ears.
Xu Shuo instantly opened the player's manual and clicked on a card.
The next moment, his temperament changed in vain. After losing the roughness and naivety of a rural man, he was wearing a blood-stained white coat.
The tall young man slowly raised the corners of his lips, with a ferocious and twisted crazy smile on his face. The fruit knife he held in his hand flashed a cold light!
Bah——!
Before the old village chief could react, his eyes suddenly widened and he fell straight down.
At the same moment, the extremely angry little girl next to her opened her mouth wide, her fair skin turned dark blue, she had a ghostly face and fangs, her entire petite body also twisted and expanded, and she swallowed the old village chief who died instantly with her bloody mouth.
!
The monster chewed something in its mouth unhappily, and quickly looked to the side. Its scarlet eyes were full of anticipation, as if it wanted to ask for praise.
However, it suddenly froze and saw the young man in front of it gradually disintegrating into white dots and disappearing.
It rushed over quickly, but missed.
In the dark and rancid cave, only a green-faced and fanged monster was left, tilting its head blankly.
After a while, the little girl reappeared, standing alone in the cave, her cute and cute face full of innocence and doubt.
