S-level high-risk personality, you call this a pitiful thing?

Chapter 128: Mouyu Village - Branch
The deep mountains, the woman who never appeared from beginning to end, the crazy woman, the broken legs and... The reason why Wang Laosan wanted to keep Lan Tong was to find a mother for Guangzong and Yaozu.

Lan Tong said: "Let's go to the village first to confirm the speculation that there is no woman."

"Ah."

……

On the way back, both of them were very silent.

Lan Tong was extremely angry about the trafficking of women. She went back now just to verify one thing, that is, whether there were any women in the village, mainly whether there were any young girls.

This is very important. If there are no girls but only boys, then she can almost conclude that all girls will be killed at birth and only boys will be allowed to grow up.

The two men walked around the village for a long time, but they could not get any information from the older villagers. They all gave the same answer. When they mentioned the women in their families, they either said they were sick and could not be seen by people, or they said they were out and not at home. In any case, they could not see any women in any family.

Finally, Lan Tong had no choice but to conjure up two candies and learned the truth from a child at the corner.

There were indeed no girls in the village, but there were two women.

One is at Chen Shuanzi's house, and the other is at Zhang Dasha's house.

The child also kindly told them the locations of the two homes.

Ji Yu was not good at talking to children, so it was Lan Tong who lied to them.

They learned from the child that Chen Shuanzi's daughter-in-law was ill recently, because the child's father no longer went to the Chen family, but only to the Zhang family, and would complain and curse every time he came back.

He said that Zhang's wife was dirty, smelly, and had an unpleasant voice. Zhang Dasha never gave his wife a bath for fear that she would run away once the chains were untied. If Chen's wife hadn't been sick, he would not have gone to Zhang's house.

They also said that Zhang Dasha was too greedy. He said that if he gave half a catty of rice wine, he could jump the queue, but in the end he raised the price and insisted on paying a catty to get to the front of the line.

He also said that if he had not beaten his wife to death, he would not have to work in the fields now. With a woman at home, he could sit at home like Zhang Dasha every day and eat the delicious food brought to him by others.

After talking a lot, he finally complained that the person the village chief had found this time was not good. There were only twenty women among fifty people, which was not enough to go around. He said that he must grab one and take it back to his home this time.

After hearing this, Ji Yu and Lan Tong both looked like they were ready to fight.

After the child finished speaking, he finished eating the candy and stared at Lan Tong for a long time.

It's not that there is no candy in the village store. Ji Yu has been there before and knows that the candy sold in the store is completely different from the one given by Lan Tong. No wonder this kid can tell him everything he knows, purely because of his superior taste.

"Sister, can you give me another one?" said the child.

Lan Tong silently hid the anger in her eyes that made her want to punch the kid in the head, and smiled as gently as possible, saying, "That's fine, I have a lot of candies here, but they're not for free."

The child pouted: "Then why did you give me candy so late? I told you everything I know."

Lan Tong took out a candy and handed it to him, "Promise me that you will never tell anyone else the questions I ask you, and I'll give you this candy."

The child agreed without thinking, and happily took the candy and put it into his mouth.

"My candy is magical. If you promise me but fail to do it, it will explode in your stomach."

The child laughed and said, "You are lying. Only firecrackers can explode."

Lan Tong did not refute, but smiled and moved his fingers, tapping a stone beside him. With a "bang", the stone was blown to pieces.

The child was stunned and so frightened that he dared not make a sound.

Lan Tong continued: "Obedient children will be fine, but disobedient children will explode."

The child begged quickly: "I'm obedient, I'm the most obedient, sister, please don't let me explode..."

"As long as you behave yourself, nothing will happen."

Lan Tong said: "If you can tell me what your father said at home every day, I promise to give you ten candies a day, what do you think?"

The child seemed to have a psychological trauma from sugar and was afraid to speak.

"If you don't listen to me, I'll make you explode right now." Lan Tong showed a cunning smile: "Eat candy every day, or explode right now, it's your choice."

The child looked at Lan Tong aggrievedly, but finally succumbed to the threat of the explosion and chose to be Lan Tong's messenger.

"Then it's settled. If anyone knows about this, don't blame me for making your dad explode with you. You and your dad are father and son. If you've eaten candy, it means your dad has eaten it too. If you explode, he will explode too."

Lan Tong gave the child another candy and let him go. A slap in the face and a date as a reward, a candy would not consume much mental energy.

The two were just about to return to their residence when the voice of the system rang in their ears at the same time.

[Discover the "Mouyu Village" side quest - Ghost in the Deep Mountains]

[Branch content: Investigate the truth about the "woman" in the village and submit the evidence to the junior person in charge of the Weird Public Trial Department]

[Branch rewards: personal national points*50, random item*1]

[Tips for first-time participants in a linkage dungeon: The Chosen Ones can decide whether to accept the side quests in the advanced linkage dungeon. The side quests will affect the final evaluation score, but will not affect the development of the main quests.]

[Joint team reminder: If one of the Chosen Ones who participate in the dungeon accepts the side quest, it will be counted as accepted by all team members. If one refuses, all team members will refuse. After refusing, the side quest will not appear again.]

Ji Yu found that Lan Tong was standing still like him, and asked in a low voice: "Did you hear the system notification?"

"I'm not deaf yet."

"Do you accept?"

Lan Tong did not answer in a hurry, but asked Lu Li first.

"Who is the junior director of the Weird Public Trial Department?"

Lu Li naturally heard the system prompt just now, "You can think of it as a programmer fixing a bug. This prompt obviously means there is a problem with the plot of the dungeon, usually between NPCs.

“This copy may be about a judgment between the villagers and the locked-up women. Although they are also considered weird, it does not mean that there are no problems with their plot. They are also considered weird. Why can these villagers continue to bully those women as if they were alive?
“The Public Trial Office is a kind of false justice. If there is any feedback, the person in charge will appear to collect intelligence, and it is up to them to decide whether to adjust the plot, destroy the dungeon, or release those persecuted weird souls.

“If left alone, the NPC will suppress their resentment for too long, and when it reaches a certain level, they will awaken their self-awareness and actively absorb pollution to grow their strength. This will lead to too many big monsters in the dungeon and inevitable disputes. At that time, the dungeon will be destroyed and other dungeons will be implicated.

"Some of the big monsters in high-level dungeons have special abilities that can evade the system's detection. In order to stabilize the balance between dungeons and the Chosen, the Public Trial Office appeared."
