Bai Qiuwu's thoughts moved so quickly that Pu Xi could hardly keep up.

No, how can you infer the identity with just this little information?

However, this is not the most shocking thing.

Bai Qiuwu paused for a moment here, then made a direct summary.

"Then I would venture to guess that the daughter-in-law and son most likely died in the fire. There was a huge fire there, and with such a large fire, it's highly unlikely that no one would die."

"So someone must have died here. It could be one person or two people, but I'm more inclined to think it was just one person."

"If it was just an accident, it shouldn't have caused everyone to keep silent. Everyone is unwilling to talk about this matter, which means there must be something unspeakable."

"So I guess the daughter-in-law was abused. After all, her leg wouldn't have been broken for no reason. Then she died, and he was looking for revenge, so the first person he killed was his son."

"This fire either ended the daughter-in-law or the son. This must be the relationship between them. Now we just need to find out what happened to this enthusiastic girl. We can almost figure out the truth."

"But everyone seems to be very afraid of this girl and definitely doesn't want to talk to her, so we have to start with the village chief's son or the village chief."

"Oh, by the way, we still have to find out where all these missing people went. Now that we're here, we might as well find out."

Pu Xi was stunned after hearing this, and his expression gradually became dull.

He was a little confused. The villagers didn't say anything, so how could he guess so much?

Moreover, he had a vague intuition in his heart telling him that Bai Qiuwu was right and the truth should be like this.

Along with him, these netizens were also stunned.

You know, the live broadcast has been on all the time, and the popularity remains high. I don’t know how many people have been following the live broadcast room all night. I was shivering with Pu Xi last night.

This feels a bit like watching a suspense drama. Even if people have other things to do in real life, they always take a look when they have free time. It's very exciting.

This shows that Bai Qiuwu's idea is completely correct. If he continues like this and maintains the enthusiasm, he might be able to create another miracle.

However, Pu Xi, who was trembling with fear at the moment, had no time to think about these things. His attention was now on Bai Qiuwu's words and the comments from netizens.

There are many people watching the live broadcast, and there are always smart people. At this moment, there are many people who have the same idea as Bai Qiuwu, or who suddenly realize what he said and then start to think divergently.

[This actually seems quite reasonable. She must have been tortured and abused inhumanely, so she wouldn't be at peace even after death and would be looking for ways to seek revenge. Then I think about that sister who seems to have no feet, and I suddenly feel terrified.]

But if that's the case, what does this have to do with ordinary tourists passing through? Tourists are so innocent! What have they done wrong? Why are they being blamed? Even if this person has been wronged, it's wrong to target innocent tourists. I don't understand.

[Actually, I don't really understand this kind of revenge mentality. If you think about it this way, it might be revenge against society. I just want to live a bad life, so no one else can live a good life. It's a broken jar mentality, so it's hard to comment on it.]

Am I the only one wondering why their legs were chopped off? Couldn't it have simply been injured, necessitating amputation? This village feels so strange to me. Another question is, do these strange things really exist in this world? Is this some scripted scene? Has anyone been to this village?

[I also feel like I'm deliberately creating a weird feeling. How could there be such a strange place? These villagers are very indifferent. I feel like normal rural people should be very enthusiastic, but their overly indifferent nature feels like acting, and it also feels a bit overdone. So this is indeed a script.]

[Actually, the actress last night also felt quite strange. How could someone really have no legs? It must have been a special effect. There was actually a rope behind them, but we didn't see it. Anyway, I don't believe that someone can float in the sky without legs. The era of light skills is long gone.]

"They keep talking about the script. Is it really that hard to believe things beyond your own understanding? Is it possible that they're not just pretending to be weird, but are actually weird? Anyway, I'm seriously curious about this village now. Do you have an address? I want to go there too."

"I mean, is it possible that they cut off her legs because they were afraid she'd run away? There really is something strange going on in the village. So many people have gone missing, and it's even on the news. This can't be fake, right? If this is a script, then it's incredibly calculated. When this news came out, Bai Qiuwu hadn't even made his debut yet, and their live streaming software hadn't even been released yet."

What you said earlier is a bit one-sided. Couldn't these people just be picking on people in the news to buy out the script? I'm just hoping you'll have that mindset. If there really are so many strange things in the world, then there are far more dead people than alive. Shouldn't we all make room for them? Let them live on Earth. How could we possibly not see any of them normally?

…

When there are many people, there are many opinions, and those who agree are ultimately a minority, so this seemingly endless quarrel begins.

There will always be people who still insist that it is a script. In the past, when Pu Xi saw these discussions, he would definitely try to explain and prove that it was definitely not a script.

But now he saw it and ignored it calmly.

Because he had discussed it with Bai Qiuwu early on, their main goal this time was to clear away feudal superstitions and promote science, so they definitely couldn't just say here that they were all real.

Even if these people didn't guess it was a script, Bai Qiuwu might have to take the initiative to say it was a script in the end, otherwise it wouldn't pass the review!

Based on this consideration, Pu Xili ignored these people. His attention was basically still on Bai Qiuwu.

He felt that Bai Qiuwu's analysis was correct, but the key point was...

"But I feel like everyone in this village is very dissatisfied with us. It's impossible for them to talk to us. They won't tell us anything."

Pu Xi's face was bitter. To be honest, when these villagers saw their retreating attitude, they felt it was difficult to even say hello, let alone polite words.

He even had a feeling that the people in this village looked at them as if they were dead, and were afraid that if they said a few more words to them, they would be unlucky.

It makes people feel helpless.

However, Bai Qiuwu had obviously anticipated this and was not too naive.

She thought about it and said simply: "This is indeed a big problem, but it's not a big problem. They can't ask it. We can go find someone else."

Pu Xi was puzzled: "Others? Who else can we ask? We can't ask those missing people, right? We don't even know where they went, and we don't even know if they are still alive."

Bai Qiuwu was helpless: "That's definitely not possible. We can't find it, so how can we ask this?"

"Of course we have to look for enthusiastic people who can find the trail and are willing to cooperate with us."

The more Bai Qiuwu spoke, the more confused Pu Xi became. He wanted to ask something else, but Bai Qiuwu ignored him and turned around and left.

Pu Xi hurriedly followed, thinking that she had some ideas, but it turned out that the direction she was going was very wrong.

"Where are you going?" Pu Xi finally couldn't help it.

"Let's go back to the village chief's house." Bai Qiuwu was very calm.

"You can't possibly be thinking of asking the village chief, right? You're definitely not going to get the answer!" Pu Xi said, completely speechless. "The village chief is even harder to deal with than these villagers. Don't be fooled by his amiable smile; he's actually quite difficult to talk to."

Pu Xi was not really a fool. After spending a night with the village chief, especially after seeing the change in his expression last night, he already had an understanding of the village chief in his heart and knew that this matter was not that simple.

Although this feeling of not knowing anything and being confused about everything is really annoying, it seems impossible to find a breakthrough from the village chief.

Pu Xi’s worries were certainly correct, and Bai Qiuwu nodded.

"This village chief is really not good enough."

"I've thought about it again and again. Everyone in this village has some issues, and it feels difficult to get information from any of them. So we won't look for people from this village. I think the enthusiastic girl from last night is a good choice."

At this point, Bai Qiuwu revealed a somewhat expectant smile: "If she were to tell someone about her experience, she would probably want to talk to someone, right?"

Pu Xi: “…”

Netizens who were watching the live broadcast: "..."

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

Although you call her a passionate girl, don't you have any idea whether she is really a girl?

How dare you ask that? How can you ask that? Can people understand you? Is this normal communication?

Isn't it weird that you are asking her why she is crying?

Pu Xi was completely shocked, his eyes widened, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, he took a deep breath and unconsciously raised his voice: "Are you crazy?! How can this be possible!"

"Aren't you afraid of danger? How can you do such a dangerous thing?"

Compared to his shock, Bai Qiuwu was also confused.

"Dangerous? What's dangerous? Shouldn't she be the one in danger?"

Bai Qiuwu sincerely wondered, "I'm afraid she'll disappear as soon as I show up. It seems like she's more afraid of me. What do I have to be afraid of? The most I'm afraid of is that she won't show up after seeing me."

Pu Xi: “…”

It seems... to make some sense?

Before Pu Xi could wrap his head around it, Bai Qiuwu said, "Besides, you're the one who's going to ask about the situation. It's not my turn to be afraid, right?"

Pu Xi: “???”

Pu Xi was stunned again.

He pointed at himself in disbelief, his voice trembling with fear: "Are you kidding me? Me? What me? You have to be kidding!"

Bai Qiuwu's expression gradually became kind: "How could I make such a meaningless joke?"

"Think about it, this passionate girl ran away when she saw me, but she is extremely passionate about you and even wants to sleep with you. She is so passionate. If you ask her a few questions, how can she not answer?"

As Bai Qiuwu spoke, his tone gradually became more serious: "Xiaoxi, it's your turn to show yourself. Haven't you always wanted to prove yourself? Now the time has finally come!"

"Take this passionate girl! Tonight! You will become a god to all of us!"

Bai Qiuwu's words were spoken in a rhythmic and very contagious manner.

Pu Xi, however, wasn't moved at all. He felt like crying. "How can this be? I can't do this. Stop kidding. How about I go and ask my brother to cancel this bet? I still have a lot of property, and I don't want it. He'll definitely agree."

He was so frightened that he even started talking nonsense.

But Bai Qiuwu was not moved at all.

"How can a young man just say he's backing off? Well, let's go and see what the village chief is doing."

Bai Qiuwu cut the topic short and didn't give Pu Xi any chance to speak, and the matter was finalized.

No matter what Pu Xi said, it wouldn't work.

Netizens were so happy watching the show that they laughed so hard that they fell over, and they were also looking forward to the follow-up tonight.

Pu Xi was the only one injured, and he was still racking his brains to find a way to escape from this mission.

Time passed little by little, and the sky became darker and darker. After dinner, Pu Xi kept hiding beside Bai Qiuwu and refused to leave no matter what.

Faintly hearing the sound of the wind outside, Bai Qiuwu was helpless and said earnestly: "Don't worry, I'll pretend to be asleep and I will definitely not let you get hurt."

"Just sacrifice yourself once, and I'll find a way to find your brother and make it up to you. I'll make sure everyone knows your worth!"

Pu Xi shook his head like a rattle: "No, I don't know how to ask. I can't do it. I've never been in a relationship. I can't coax a girl."

"It's okay. Girls are easy to coax. How about this? I'll hide under your bed. Is that okay?"

Bai Qiuwu was helpless: "If you don't want to do this, there's nothing I can do."

This concession is indeed a big one. There is space under the kang, which is used to store charcoal. However, since it is not burning now, it can be cleared out and it is no problem for someone to hide there.

After Bai Qiuwu said this, Pu Xi suddenly felt a little embarrassed to continue refusing. After all, he had been persuaded for the entire afternoon.

Although he was still very scared, he could only nod in the end.

Finally, it was late at night.

Time passed by little by little in the whistling wind.

At about the same time as last night, a woman's sobbing could be faintly heard outside, getting closer and closer.

Pu Xi curled up in the quilt just like last night, not daring to move at all, until he felt that the enthusiastic girl seemed to be beside him again.

He made up his mind and squeezed out two words with great difficulty from between his trembling teeth.

"Hello, can we be friends?"

"Although I haven't seen your face, but I think you must be very beautiful. Let's be friends!"
