Chapter 62: Getting Started

In fact, Tong Chen cares most about the reward of the task, the higher the evaluation of the task, the better the reward will naturally be.

Rewards: One ordinary plastic cup, one pair of ordinary cotton socks.

Plastic cups? It's not bad, I was talking before, but I didn't expect to be rewarded with a cup, but the plastic cup is easy to crush, so you have to be careful when you use it.

Socks are not bad, after all, the feet are still barefoot, there is a pair of socks to wear will be warmer, speaking of this, Tong Chen has a headache, he has not yet worn a complete set of clothes, there is still only one coat on the upper body, and there are no warm pants on the lower body, in order to keep warm, he had to put two pants on his body, this looks like winter is coming, there is no hat, and the clothes are so thin, this weather is really fatal in the wilderness.

"Trigger an optional quest: punish the culprit of bird mutilation" ("Opt out without any punishment and lose the chance to be rewarded").

There was such a task, Tong Chen never thought of it, it made him feel as if the system was as if a human was conscious, but he regarded it as a kind of advanced artificial intelligence.

The meaning is very easy to understand, the choice is in your own hands, there is a reward for completing the task, and there will be no unknown punishment if you don't complete it, but this suddenly made Tong Chen feel a little panicked, the system seems to play the role of a pit man at any time, but he suddenly became cheerful, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it for a while.

Tong Chen didn't think much about it, and soon chose to accept the task, first, this task is very much to his appetite, he also wants the poachers to be severely punished, and he will be punished for doing wrong, and he doesn't think this task is so arduous, just call the police, and hand it over to the police uncle, this is completely a "send the question";

However, Tong Chen still has an important matter on hand for him to complete.

Tong Chen and Xu Shaoqiang probably talked about their plans.

"Big brother, isn't this a bit bad?" , Xu Shaoqiang said with suspicion on his face.

Tong Chen said firmly: "This is all for you, you have to think about it, you don't want your parents to treat you like that all the time."

In the end, Xu Shaoqiang nodded and agreed.

--------------------------------------------------

There are seventy or eighty households in Liugong Village, who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and every household basically grows crops, and their basic income comes from here.

The village has been peaceful for a long time, but an unexpected event has broken the peace in the past few days.

"Have you heard? The son of the old Xu family was lost and didn't go home for two days."

"Isn't it, you see that the old Xu family has been so anxious that they have gone crazy in the past two days."

"I said that I didn't see his wife in mahjong for the past two days, and it turned out that my son was gone"

"In my opinion, you see that the wife of the old Xu family is either playing mahjong or poker all day long, and does not take care of her own son."

"I've heard from others that his family seems to have called the police"

"Do you still suspect that his son was abducted by human traffickers?"

"Probably not"

······

The villagers talked a lot, and Lao Xu's family became the focus of discussion.

In a red-brick house, a man and a woman are arguing fiercely with red ears and red ears.

"You play mahjong all day long regardless of the darkness and dawn, and now you are happy", Lao Xu continued: "I still dislike my son all day long and disturb you to play mahjong, and now no one is arguing with you."

The woman with wavy hair had a gloomy face: "You don't have to open your mouth and shut up and always accuse me, where have you been in the past two days? Why don't you keep looking at your son."

Old Xu Yu sighed for a long time and said: "Blame me too, I always feel that taking care of my son is your business, and I always push him to you, I take too little care of my son."

"Usually my son runs away and always comes back on time in the evening, but why did he suddenly disappear this time?", said the wavy-haired woman with a pull on her face.

"You beat your son at every turn, and he dares to come back, to be honest, it is entirely possible that your son was beaten away by you", what Lao Xu usually didn't dare to say, he also said it at this time.

"You blame me? Then why don't you care about your son all day long, my son is gone, but you keep complaining about me..." , Lao Xu's wife chattered endlessly.

"Lao Xu, Lao Xu, are you at home, there is news of your son", at this time, a man who ran into the yard shouted loudly.

Lao Xu was suddenly shocked, then breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly responded: "At home, I'll go out immediately."

Lao Xu's wife's tense face also relaxed a lot at the same time: "This stinky boy, see if I don't teach him a good lesson."

After Tong Chen released the news in the village, it didn't take long to see Lao Xu with a hurried expression, followed by a wavy woman with a panting and unhappy face.

Lao Xu looked Tong Chen up and down for a while, and then said, "Young man, you are not from our village, I have never seen you."

"Lao Xu, he is indeed not from our village, judging by his dress, he should have just come out of the mountain", a man watching next to him interjected.

"He's right, I came out of the mountains."

Before Tong Chen finished speaking, Lao Xu hurriedly asked, "You have news of my son, where did you see him?"

Lao Xu didn't see his son by this strange guy's side for the first time, and he suddenly felt a little bad in his heart.

The wavy-haired woman also sensed that something was wrong, things were not as she thought, and as soon as she came out, she would see a lively son, with his head bowed and waiting to be trained and scolded.

Tong Chen glanced at everyone, but did not respond immediately, and his emotions were slowly brewing in his heart.

Everyone saw that the young man in front of them was talking about the key place, why did he suddenly shut up and stop talking, and they immediately couldn't hold back, and the most anxious of them was undoubtedly Lao Xu and his wife.

"Dumb you, have you met my son?" said the wavy-haired woman a few steps forward.

"I'm sorry, something happened to your son, when I was about to leave the mountain this morning, I happened to come across a child's corpse in the grass, I didn't dare to stop, so I hurried to the village", Tong Chen said with a serious expression and a sad tone.

"What? What did you say? You said my son... , how is it possible, you must have seen it wrong, you must have seen it wrong", Lao Xu instantly seemed to have lost his soul, his face was full of disbelief.

Lao Xu's wife staggered and collapsed to the ground: "My son, how could he leave all of a sudden, absolutely not, no, you must have recognized the wrong person."

The atmosphere was much quieter.

The people next to him were also surprised, it was just a child, how could it be said that it was gone.

"Are you looking at the wrong person, maybe it's not the son of the old Xu family?"

"It's just that you haven't seen what his son looks like."

Tong Chen disrupted the discussion.

"I'll show you there, won't it be clear?"

Then everyone followed Tong Chen out of the village and walked for more than ten minutes, and came to a barren grass, where Lao Xu and his family were supported by the villagers.

On top of the grass lay a boy, his eyes closed and motionless, as if he had been dead for a long time.
