Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Village
Leaving the station of Begonia, because there is no clear goal at the moment, several of us decided to return to the main city to rest and recuperate before making plans.
It is worth mentioning that on the way back to the city, we picked up the long-missing Shatma Chan Fox, this child has disappeared since he saved the life of the bull until now, thanks to my heart, I thought she was killed by thieves and never bothered us again, but it turned out to be so unpleasant.
Probably because she is also a woman, Violet is still more concerned about Shatma Chanhu, and asked her about her situation quite carefully, but Shatma Chanhu just giggled and didn't say much.
When we returned to the main city, we all repaired our equipment and sorted out our belongings, brought all the supplies for us, and gathered again at the city gate.
On a whim just now, Violet decided to go around other main cities without authorization, and at this moment she came to ask for everyone's opinions.
"Don't be restrained, everyone express their opinions, and if you have any good ideas, you can say it!" Violet smiled and said, "After all, we are a team, and everyone has a say in the decision of something."
"I'll go with Sister Lan!" As expected, the first response of Shatma Chanhu jumped directly to Violet and hugged her arm, expressing her strong approval.
"That...... I also agree with Sister Lan's idea. "Xiao Zhengtai expected the second defection.
"Uh......" I looked at Violet, who was manicing with a twilight dagger, and swallowed to nip the objections in the bud. I don't have an opinion either. ”
After I finished speaking, everyone looked at the bull together, for a person who has just been hit by a broken love, it is necessary to take care of his emotions.
"Let's go!" The bull was unexpectedly extremely excited, shouting: "I want to embark on a new journey to find the love that truly belongs to me!"
……
In this way, the five of us wandered in the uninhabited wilderness, and the nearly three-hour journey made me doubt Violet's intelligence once again.
"I said, Sister Lan, your route information can't be wrong, right?" I twisted my waist and took advantage of the short break to ask, "Anyway, where did you get the news, you rushed so roughly, if something goes wrong, we will die of exhaustion in the wilderness."
Violet raised her eyebrows: "What, suspicious of my aunt's connections?"
"Where can it, haha, hahaha......" I hurriedly said that there was no hostility, "It's just that you see it's not early, if we can't get off the main city before dark, I'm afraid we'll have to stay up all night in the wilderness." It's okay, I'm afraid of suffering your naturally beautiful delicate skin. ”
"Cut." Violet and Shatma Chan Fox expressed their contempt at the same time.
"Don't worry." Violet stood up and stretched, yawning and said, "My friend has more accurate information than anyone else, get ready to go!"
"Oooh?" I heard something different, and hurriedly asked, "Does that mean the big brother is from the game company?"
Manniu and Xiao Zhengtai couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard me ask.
"Heaven must not be divulged." Violet turned her head and gave me a charming smile, winked at me and said, "Come with me!"
I swallowed, and the only suspicion I had vanished.
……
After more than an hour of walking, a small mountain village appeared in front of us.
The low houses, the curling smoke, the farmer ploughing, the running children - tsk, there must be some shady task here!
"There's a village where this bird doesn't, and you have to see it!" Violet was also interested, "Maybe there is some hidden mission in there." ”
"Heroes see the same thing!" I chimed in: "But it's not early today, let's see if there is an offline area inside, let's search here tomorrow!"
Violet nodded, and the others had no opinion, and the five of us stepped into this small village that exuded an aura of mystery.
Luckily, as soon as I entered the village, I got a system prompt, showing that it is safe to go offline within the village entrance, and this is a neutral part and will not be affected by the faction.
"Roar! Good luck! I beckoned to the Violet people, "Let's be here today, we'll see you tomorrow morning!" ”
Violet waved her hand, and several people said goodbye to each other and went offline in turn.
Time passed quickly, and it was a bright morning in the blink of an eye, I opened my eyes to look at the time, put on my underwear, washed my face and re-entered the game.
It's 5 a.m., and none of them have arrived. As the saying goes, the early worm gets the bird to eat, and I think so.
I took the opportunity to wander around the village to see if there was anything interesting.
As soon as I walked into the village, I happened to meet a farmer who was about to go out with a hoe on his back, and I walked two steps forward to greet him: "Hello, my uncle! I'm a passing warrior, has there been anything going on here recently that you need my help with? ”
The uncle was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "What did you say?"
Don't understand? Am I talking too fast?
I breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "Uncle, I'm a passing player, do you need my help?" Or has anything unusual happened in our village recently? For example, when you wake up, there are 180 dead bodies hanging in the tree in your backyard. ”
"Oh my God!" The uncle's face was full of black lines: "Do you really want this hellish picture to appear in our calm and peaceful little village?"
"Haha!" I didn't expect this NPC to be able to deal with my nonsense, smart enough. "Just kidding, kidding!"
Seeing the appearance of the uncle holding the hoe with a black face, I hurriedly put on a harmless appearance to change the topic: "Uncle, do you need any help?"
Hearing me say this, Uncle NPC's face instantly changed back to normal, and he replied a little dullly: "Oh, strange friend, a tragic incident happened to the Wang Po's house in the village recently. A few days ago, a family of three was bitten to death by wild beasts and eaten except for their granddaughter, who went to the mountains to collect medicine in the morning. Speaking of this, the uncle said with pity: "It's pitiful to leave such a seven or eight-year-old girl, alas!"
Tsk, it's really miserable.
But fortunately, this is a game, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to watch this screen without mosaic.
I asked for the address of Wang Po's house from my uncle, and I walked over slowly.
In the same style of low house, I reached out and knocked on the dilapidated wooden door.
Knock knock.
The door opened, and a childish little face caught my eye.
"Who are you looking for?" The little girl in a red coat asked a little puzzled.
"Hello little girl!" Thinking of the tragedy that had just happened in her family, I tried to keep it gentle so as not to provoke her: "I heard that your family has been attacked by wild beasts, and I am here to help you."
Hearing me say this, the little girl immediately became sad, and said with a sob: "Yes, I went out to the mountains in the morning to collect medicine, and when I came home, I found my grandmother and my father and mother lying in a pool of blood, and a lot of flesh had been gnawed off their bodies, and the house was full of paw prints with blood...... Whining...... I miss them so much......"
It's miserable.
After coaxing the little girl to stop crying, I began to inquire from her if there were any places around that frequented wild beasts.
"There is a dark cave on the mountain where I collected my medicine," the little girl recalled, "I happened to pass by once that day, and I saw many skeletons of small animals at the entrance of the cave, and many paw prints. But I was scared, so I left without looking closely. ”
"That's right......" I pondered, according to the situation described by the little girl, it should be a wolf or something that ran down and killed people, and it should not be a big problem.
"Poor boy......" I tried to touch the little girl's head, but she dodged away, though only for a moment, but I am sure I saw a flash of resistance and disgust on her face.
It seems that this little girl also has a bit of a story in her.
"How about I can help your family get revenge?" I whispered softly to the little girl to see if I could get the task.
"Really?!" The little girl looked very excited, "Then please, big brother!" ”
With a bang, the system prompts me if I accept the task: Wolves.
After choosing OK and accepting the task, I said goodbye to the little girl.
Now I've decided that I'm going to have to work on this task.
Why? Because after I chose to accept it, the task was marked with a completion level: Wolf Plague (0% progress at present)
Tsk, I've never been in a situation like this before, and I haven't heard Violet talk about it, so maybe it's a big job, and maybe I'll end up with something unexpected.
However, there are benefits and risks, and there must be something disgusting worthy of it after the rich returns, and I myself must not be able to play around.
Therefore, the next specific actions will have to wait for Violet to be decided after they go online.
It was half past six in the morning, and before I knew it, an hour and a half had passed, and I guessed that they were coming soon.
I can't wait dryly, and I have to use the little time I have left to go around the village and ask around for more information that will help me with the mission.
However, after asking some villagers, the information was very limited, and they only said that they asked the villagers for help after the tragedy at the little girl's house and went to see the scene.
"It's miserable, you know." Villager A said.
At half past seven in the morning, Violet was the first to appear.
"Big watermelon so early today?" The violet man arrived before he could speak: "Is it the insomnia caused by years of virgin life and the increasingly irrepressible *?"
"Eldest sister, reserved! It's better to be reserved! I couldn't cry or laugh, "You said you look like a goddess, why don't you pay attention to your image at all?" ”
"Cut!" Violet gave me a middle finger, "Say, what good task has you received, do you want to swallow it alone?" ”
"How do you know?!" I was stunned.
"Okay, you! I just fried you casually, I didn't expect it to be true! ”
“……”
"Tell me honestly! You unprofitable guy who can't afford to be early! ”
"Come on, this is an early bird...... You put the knife down first, I said it's not okay for me. ”
