Is that right?

Nanxi bit her chopsticks and looked up at the portrait in front of her.

Where no one could see, the portrait showed Hong Gu with bloodshot eyes and a face full of anger. The way she looked at the village chief was not like she was looking at her beloved child, but rather like she was facing an enemy.

Something's not right. Something's 100% wrong.

[When I suddenly looked at Hong Gu's portrait, I was really startled. It didn't look like someone missing their own child.]

Am I the only one who finds what the village chief said strange? What does it mean that I'm his only biological child? Shouldn't he be referring to his older brother, older sister, younger brother, and younger sister in a situation like this?

Wow, the person upstairs is amazing! I also think that statement sounds weird!

[Anyway, on the surface, the people of Anning Village seem to respect Hong Gu very much, judging from the worship and the kneeling in gratitude this morning.]

"You should have seen a house in the village that looks a lot like a granary. That's our village's ancestral hall, and it was built specifically for Hong Gu."

The village chief seemed to have thought of something else: "It's quite a coincidence that the house you're living in now is the same house that Hong Gu lived in back then."

Is the house they are living in the same house that Hong Gu lived in back then?

Thinking of that terrifying portrait, Li An couldn't help but look at his room.

"Village chief, which room is Hong Gu staying in?"

Would she have specifically targeted the person who had taken over her room in the middle of the night?

Upon hearing this question, the village chief smiled again, a smile that was both enigmatic and slightly sinister: "Don't worry, these four rooms are not Hong Gu's rooms."

After saying this, the village chief showed no intention of continuing the conversation and slowly walked towards the door, leaving the group of people completely bewildered.

what?

There are only four rooms in total. Hong Gu's original room is not among them, so where will she stay?

Wang Zhuangzhuang offered a guess: "Could it be that this house has been renovated?"

This would provide a reasonable explanation for the claim that Hong Gu's room was not among them.

"Could that be it?" Li An felt a little uneasy, as if something had been overlooked and something was vaguely wrong.

He pondered for a long time, but still couldn't find the key to the problem. Just as he was about to look for Nanxi, he discovered that she had somehow put down her chopsticks and disappeared again...

Nanxi strolled toward the toilet next to the village, and when she was still some distance away, she heard a crisp sound.

"Click".

A sharp pebble rolled by from the side. Looking up, one could see the child who had been there during the day hiding behind a large tree in the dim moonlight; only his green eyes were visible.

However, this attack was much weaker than the one during the day.

The child bared his teeth like a wild beast: "Get out! Get away!"

What's wrong with this child?

[No, she was clearly holding shredded razor blades, but she only threw small pebbles at Nanxi, and deliberately just to make a sound.]

Could this be a reminder?

【! ! ! 】

[Warning... Could this be the restroom ahead?]

Nanxi narrowed her eyes and took a step forward.

Seeing this, the child became even more agitated, angrily pounding on the tree trunk, shouting, "Get out! Get out of here!"

So, this child really isn't a bad person, but came specifically to warn me?

Nanxi took the ball out of her pocket and pointed it towards the toilet ahead.

Qiuqiu finally got a chance to work, and in her mind, she excitedly declared, "I guarantee I'll complete the task!"

Having said that, he charged in with great fanfare and high spirits!

The little boy, who was standing far away, stared wide-eyed and frowned as if he had witnessed some kind of magic when he saw the ball appear. Only after the ball disappeared did he cautiously look towards the toilet again.

No one knew what was happening inside, but there was a series of cracking sounds, followed by two burly villagers being thrown out.

That force was considerable; the two villagers were sent flying, crashing into a tree next to Nanxi before falling to the ground.

"Aaaaaah!"

The two couldn't help but scream in agony.

Qiuqiu strode out triumphantly: "Isn't that awesome?"

【Awesome!】

[It turns out this child really is a good person. I never expected that.]

He doesn't attack women during the day.

[These two villagers are truly disgusting. Why would they secretly hide in the toilet? Are they planning something?!]

I'm so angry!

Nanxi patted Qiuqiu's head, not even glancing at the burly man on the ground, and instead bought a candy from the system's store and threw it towards the child.

"Smack."

The sound of something falling startled the child, who jumped up, gripped the broken knife tightly, examined the object on the ground, and then looked at Nanxi.

Don't you recognize me?

Nanxi made a gesture: "Food, something that can be eaten."

Although the child was somewhat skeptical, after opening the candy wrapper and smelling its sweet aroma, he couldn't resist popping it into his mouth.

sweet.

It was a sweet taste he had never experienced before, and it felt somewhat unfamiliar to him.

After discovering that the sphere would melt, the child even panicked and spat it out, then wrapped it in a nearby leaf before looking at Nanxi again.

Nanxi's smile was somewhat wicked: "Since you ate my food, then you'll help me keep an eye on the security here."

Child:"……"

Nanxi didn't care whether the wild child understood or not, threw him a few more candies, and went straight into the toilet.

After they came out, they found that the child was still guarding behind the tree, but the two villagers on the ground had disappeared.

Upon seeing Nanxi, the child puffed out his cheeks unhappily and turned away without hesitation.

It was as if the contract with Nanxi had just been fulfilled.

"Shall we chase after them?" Qiuqiu asked, jumping up and down.

It now understands Nanxi's temperament.

Since a friendly NPC has appeared, that's an obvious clue. How could we not follow it?

Nanxi responded with a grin, revealing her white teeth.

"Chase."

One person and one ball followed the child ahead, and as they passed the residence, they happened to see Li An just walking out of the door.

Li An stared wide-eyed at the child in front of him, then at Nanxi: "Nan..."

"Shhh."

Nanxi made a gesture, said nothing more, and carefully followed.

soon.

Li An glanced at Nanxi's retreating figure, hesitated for only a second, and then quickly followed after her with shining eyes.

Nanxi must have her reasons for doing this!

I'll join the group buy as soon as it starts.

[Li An has completely forgotten his status as a powerful figure; all he remembers now is to cling tightly to Sister Nan.]

[The NPC who can roam freely in the three-star dungeon is Nan Jie's boyfriend. If you were Li An, would you try to get close to him?]

If I were Li An, I'd fucking slide onto the stage!
