[Remarks: The combat power system in this world is unexpectedly solid]
Su Bai was lost in thought, he was used to the gossip during missions, but this system is indeed inhumane, the frequency of missions is not high, and the trigger conditions are completely random, but the difficulty is the only one that refuses to be lowered.
You can get a glimpse of it from the task rewards, the rewards are so solid, and the time is as long as three months...
Su Bai glanced at Cen Ying, this girl is unlucky.
"What's the matter, look at me like this." Cen Ying touched her cheek: "Is there something strange about me?"
"Rest early, and find someone in the nearby villages and towns tomorrow." Su Bai said flatly: "It's not convenient to go out alone, let's get together, I can help you find someone and take you back, how about it?"
"Really?" Cen Ying's big eyes lit up, and she shook Su Bai's hand, "Thank you, you are really a good person."
"I was forced to be a good person." Su Bai said, "You have really strong hands."
"I eat a lot on weekdays." Cen Ying blushed and let go of her hand: "I can also learn martial arts."
"It's a good thing that little girl can eat." Su Bai lay down on the rock, "Eat a lot and grow fast."
"Why do you speak so old-fashioned? Just like the teacher, you don't look too big." Cen Ying asked strangely.
"...I can't remember how old I am." Su Bai turned around: "Kids, go to bed early."
"Oh." Cen Ying nodded obediently, her big eyes stared at Su Bai's back curiously, and she fell asleep after a long while of tiredness.
……
Two days later, Su Bai and Cen Ying finally walked out of the forest and arrived at a village.
Originally, Su Bai thought that he would find the exit soon, relying on his rich experience in survival in the wild, but he could easily catch it, but he repeatedly misjudged the azimuth position, and even the position of the sun would reverse rapidly and repeatedly.
This made Su Bai very puzzled, and then Cen Ying said that there is a formation in this forest, which will trap people here and make them unable to get out.
After thinking for a while, Su Bai was about to set fire to the mountain, but was stopped by Cen Ying.
After tossing for more than a day, I finally found the exit and came to a village along the official road.
This village is not small in terms of scale, with black tiles and white walls, and criss-crossed paths. When entering the town, the road surface is extremely smooth, paved with thick bluestone, and there is an old stone standing on the side of the road, engraved with the three characters of "vigorous"—— ——Yujia Town.
"Yujia Town, I've seen it on the map." Cen Ying said, "This is the largest town nearby. It's not too far from the archaeological site of the Natural History Society, but it's still a bit far away. The formation is here... so strange."
Su Bai paid attention to other points. He used to be not a person who likes to use his brain, but a pure reckless man, but after a long time, he was tricked ten times and eight times, but his memory did not grow. Take precautions, so he often pays attention to some details.
"It is surrounded by mountains on all sides... Is there any unique specialty?" Su Bai asked, "For example, the hot spring in Jieyun Village..."
"I've never heard of it." Cen Ying shook her head.
"Then can there be money to pave roads here?" In ancient times, bluestone was used to pave roads. Stones collected from mountains are a time-consuming, laborious and expensive project. Leaving aside large cities, roads are rarely paved in mountain villages and towns unless they are rich enough .
"This should be donated by a rich merchant family in the township, or by a government minister after returning home." Cen Ying thought for a while and said, "The history of Yujia Township is at least several hundred years old, and there may have been some famous Officials... If it is a teacher and brother, I will definitely know, I am not very interested in this aspect, so I am sorry, next time I will make up for this knowledge."
She sticks out her little tongue and folds her hands together cutely.
Su Bai nodded and said nothing.
Although I was lost in the mountains for two days and was physically and mentally exhausted, my unexpected mood was not bad. Compared with the Beastmen and Flügel in the world of the game Life, staying with Cen Ying, who is also a human, has no psychological pressure. You don't have to be cautious when you say a word, you can let yourself go.
This little girl is very talkative and very sensible. The 13-year-old Bowen can memorize as much as a [-]-year-old adult. When communicating with Su Bai, he will occasionally write down his surprising words, and occasionally refute but never Stubbornness is fundamentally different from being a bully, so that Su Bai's spirit is very relaxed, and it gives him a sense of comfort that he met an obedient and sensible granddaughter when he was in retirement age.
The two walked into Yujia Town.
During the day, the whole town is also filled with a faint air-conditioning, which is very strange.
There was a heavy dead air in the town, and occasionally seeing two people seemed listless.
This world is not safe, and there are also gods, ghosts and ghosts, so in this kind of mountain village, the most common thing is to be haunted.
Cen Ying tried to ask passers-by to find out if there was any news about people from the Natural History Society, but was stopped by Su Bai. He watched countless people, and the few people who passed by just now were indifferent to the two foreign children, let alone cared. For others, it is almost useless to ask.
"Hush..." Su Bai put one hand on Cen Ying's head, and raised a finger: "Don't worry, as long as you're alive, you can see it. This town is a bit weird, don't mess around."
Under the blessing of Shengshi Meiyan, casual movements are extremely destructive.
The little girl blushed unknowingly, and temporarily forgot about natural history and so on.
The two walked around the town for a few times, and found that almost half of the shops were closed. In the shops that opened occasionally, the waiters were listless, and only one or two butchers were still active. His face is full of energy, this murderous uncle looks scary, but after some conversation, Su Bai also asked a lot of things, and was given two pieces of fresh pork liver for free, he is really good looking and can be given for free.
According to the information obtained from the inquiry, just the night before yesterday, a student from the Natural History Society did come to Yujia Town, and went to the yamen in a panic, trying to get the government to help find someone, but the small local government didn't care. In fact, it is a big family in Yujia Town who is actually influential, and this Yujia Town was established because the Yu family lived here.
The Yu family's background is not small, with a history of hundreds of years. From the prime minister to the minister, they used to have great influence in the court. Later, the family retired to the family town and did a lot of good deeds, building public welfare facilities, The evaluation was quite good, so the student from the Natural History Society probably went to Yu's house to ask for help.
The Yu family's mansion is on the hill outside the town, and Cen Ying desperately wanted to know who the senior brother and sister were. Group, pointing at something.
"It's too miserable, this is too miserable, a guest died in a foreign country..."
"This is the third time this month! No one cares!"
"This is the work of a monster, it's useless for you to call the police!"
"Who is looking for the Great Immortal, this monster will eat up the whole town if it continues like this!"
Just listening to these conversations, Cen Ying had a bad feeling. She ran over in three steps and two steps. In the middle of the crowd, a white cloth covered the corpse, leaving only a pair of feet , blood oozes from the white cloth, judging from the outline, half of the body is gone.
Cen Ying knelt down on the ground, staring at the pair of embroidered shoes, there were traces of mending on them, these were senior sister's shoes, only senior sister Li's craftsmanship could mend the broken shoes like new ones... the girl's fingers Trembling unconsciously, she tried her best to raise her hand to lift the white cloth to confirm, but the fear and strong uneasiness in her heart made this thirteen-year-old girl at a loss as to what to do.
She didn't know what was under the white cloth... What would she do if it was really a senior sister?
The other onlookers whispered, only one old man couldn't bear to stop her.
