When I first opened my eyes, there was a faint fragrance of flowers and rice lingering on the tip of my nose.
Xu Shuo took a look at the environment he was in. It was an ordinary rural adobe house, and something was cooking on the stove in front of him. There was white smoke in the iron pot and the sound of water boiling.
But obviously the floral aroma does not come from this pot of porridge.
The fragrance of flowers seems to come in from the outside.
Xu Shuo turned around and saw an osmanthus tree waiting to be bloomed in the yard. It had several lush crowns and its branches and leaves had reached the kitchen window.
He looked away, picked up the spatula, and while stirring the boiling porridge in the pot, he opened the player's manual to check his character information.
Role: Wang Tiezhu.
Identity: Orion of Osmanthus Village.
Such a down-to-earth name made Xu Shuo pause, then he raised his hand and touched his cheek, feeling a rough texture.
Tie Zhu with such good looks is probably rare.
[Main mission: Cremate the bride’s body.]
Xu Shuo paused again when he saw this.
Translation: Murderer?
That's not right, it's just cremating a body, it doesn't mean killing someone.
But which bride is so miserable?
Xu Shuo continued to look at the character information while scooping out a bowl of hot mixed porridge from the pot.
This pot of porridge contains unknown meat, unknown wild vegetables, potatoes and various earthy ingredients. This is a pot of porridge cooked randomly.
As soon as he entered the role, Xu Shuo felt a sense of hunger.
Therefore, cooking porridge without any sense of beauty in his eyes seemed to smell different and delicious at the moment.
Then take a sip...
Pooh.
No salt was added.
Even if there is no salt, it still has a fishy smell of meat.
The rice in this pot of porridge was wasted, although it didn't look like there was much rice in it.
Xu Shuo had never eaten such unpalatable food before, no matter how difficult it was. He put the bowl aside and noticed that there was a plate of food piled up in a pyramid at the front of his inventory.
Generally speaking, the props placed at the front of the prop bar after entering the script are props prepared for the script.
Otherwise, the appearance of this plate of pastries would be too strange.
But what good is a plate of food?
Is it just a prop that looks like food but has special effects?
Xu Shuo took out the props.
The whole plate of pastries smelled of sweet osmanthus. There were fourteen pieces of pastries in three layers, with only one piece placed on the top layer, forming a pyramid shape.
Then, Xu Shuo noticed that the pastry placed on the top had a chip.
It seems like he bit it himself?
Is this really edible?
Xu Shuo took off the pastry and took another bite. Judging from the taste and texture, it was indeed edible food.
It just so happens that he is super hungry right now.
However, when Xu Shuo ate the third piece, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind——
Wait! The plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake he is eating seems to be a prop for the bride to increase her favorability!
Xu Shuo: "..."
Xu Shuo swallowed the pastries in his mouth and arranged the remaining pieces in different ways.
Originally there were nine pieces of pastry on the bottom floor in a square shape, but now he used five pieces of pastry to form a circle. The second layer still had four pieces, and the third layer was a single piece.
When the pyramid was finally rebuilt, there was an extra piece.
So of course that piece was also eaten.
Xu Shuo wiped his mouth and looked at the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake thoughtfully.
He actually remembered that the bride is the big boss of this script, and also remembered that the bride would randomly drop many props~
No wonder there are so many script guides in the forum. Sometimes after players’ inspiration is mobilized, there is a certain chance that they will recall relevant clues.
Xu Shuo took off the iron pot on the stove and put it aside, preparing to cook another pot of food.
Four pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake were not enough to relieve his hunger, and even eating something made him want to fill his stomach even more.
The kitchen was a bit messy, with some animal skins hanging on the wall, a basin of blood and half a rabbit next to it.
Xu Shuo took a new pot and found half a barrel of animal oil and half a block of salt from the corner.
No wonder the porridge is tasteless. You really need to use the salt sparingly.
But Xu Shuo doesn't need to save.
So he boldly used it!
But while he was busy working, a piercing scream suddenly came from the distance. The emotions of fear and despair spread in the air through the sound, which was very similar to those from the scene of the eucalyptus discovery.
Xu Shuo paused for a moment, then continued chopping vegetables.
At this time, the rumbling screams continued to sound in the distance.
Xu Shuo scooped out a bowl of rice and poured it into the pot.
At this time, another noisy sound sounded from the bottom of the mountain.
Xu Shuo also poured the vegetarian vegetables into the pot.
At this time, the shouting in the distance began to stop.
Xu Shuo added a few pieces of wood to the stove.
Let the war and chaos outside unfold.
He has to fill his stomach first!
Cooking porridge is undoubtedly the fastest. Perhaps this is why the character cooked a pot of chowder directly after returning from hunting, but the failure of that pot of chowder was the completely unprocessed rabbit meat.
I have no choice but to rely on my own efforts.
Xu Shuo stared straight at the bubbling water in the pot.
He waited patiently for the food to be cooked.
But at this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps not far away, and Xu Shuo suddenly turned his head to look.
Not long after, a figure appeared at the entrance of the courtyard, and the latter happened to see Xu Shuo squatting by the stove through the open kitchen door.
The two sides looked at each other for a while.
After the young man was stunned, he raised his hands in the shape of a trumpet and shouted down the mountain at the top of his lungs: "Tie Zhu is at home! He is cooking dinner!"
After shouting, the young man turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
His face was covered with sweat. While wiping the sweat, he asked: "Tie Zhu, when did you come back? What are you cooking?"
Xu Shuo: "I've been back for a long time, and I'm cooking porridge."
The young man had already walked into the kitchen. He looked at the rice porridge being cooked on the stove, and then looked at the pot of cooked stew on the floor.
"Didn't you already cook a pot?" he said, pointing to the hodgepodge on the ground.
"It tastes terrible." Xu Shuo's expression remained unchanged.
"It's up to you to pick...Hey, there's still meat in it, give me a bowl?" The young man couldn't help but licked his lips.
Xu Shuo pointed to the bowl with a missing mouth next to it: "Fill it yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man had already taken up the bowl, scooped up half the bowl from the pot with his hands and feet, and then took a big gulp.
After eating, the young man said, "Isn't this delicious? It also tastes like meat."
Xu Shuo: "..."
Xu Shuo suddenly thought that maybe he was eating so well now that his appetite had been spoiled.
After the young man finished another bowl, Xu Shuo asked, "What happened outside? I heard the noise over there while I was cooking."
The young man looked complicated: "Lao Li's wife and son just died."
The reason was not mentioned, and the complicated expression on the young man's face was not that he was surprised by this, but even felt that he was accustomed to it, but there was no lack of fear and confusion at all.
Xu Shuo then frowned and asked, "Then why did you come to find me? Do you suspect that I killed the person?"
The two sentences that the young man shouted in that direction just now revealed two pieces of information - his location and his actions.
Only when you are looking for the murderer, you will rush to confirm the time and place of the suspect, so as to judge whether he has enough opportunities to commit the crime.
Xu Shuo's birth point this time was not at the crime scene, and he didn't have any killing tools around him. There was no relevant information in his character profile, so he actually didn't know whether he was the murderer or not.
But no matter what, just remove the suspicion first.
