[Host, is this how you play games?]

Gui Gui noticed that Ming Mei was becoming more and more outrageous. Before, she was just lazing around and wouldn't even be happy to sell boxed lunches for two extra hours. Now, she's doing it all, acting as a two-in-one NPC and even rewriting her own script.

"Do I play like this very rarely? I'll check the forums after the game ends." Mingmei continued to play dumb, leaving Guigui speechless and speechless.

Finally, Gui Gui couldn't help but say, "Actually, the villain you played in that swap with Mu Chen scene was pretty good."

"You mean the scene of me chasing people and hacking them down is pretty good?" Mingmei raised an eyebrow, then looked disgusted. "I'm a mountain god in this game, after all. What kind of mountain god chases people around and hacks them down? That's not elegant."

That's not what I meant.

What is that?

"You're acting like you're helping the players." After Gui Gui finished speaking, Ming Mei laughed and asked, "What's my task this round?"

[Selling boxed lunches and maintaining the villagers' faith in the mountain god.]

"Oh, I've been on this road all along."

After Mingmei finished speaking, Guigui was even more confused. "Are you sure?"

...

"Alright, alright, let's go, let's go."

With her hair still wet, Lu Xiaoyao came out of the bathroom and immediately urged Julian to hurry up and leave.

Julian glanced at the wall clock; it was 11:50, only ten minutes after Lu Xiaoyao had gone into the bathroom.

He was so fast that he had to applaud Lu Xiaoyao for going into the shower.

Especially after washing your hair.

"Um."

It had been less than half an hour since Mu Chen entered the village, so they shouldn't be too late to get there.

Along the way, the torches dispelled the black fog. Looking at the unlit houses throughout the village, Lu Xiaoyao whispered to Julian, "We were so focused on getting down the mountain that we forgot everyone was asleep in the middle of the night. What are we going to do? We can't exactly wake them up, can we?"

Lu Xiaoyao's words made sense, and Julian had forgotten to ask Mu Chen about it.

Seeing that everyone here was asleep, and given that the mysterious merchant had said everyone knew about the black fog that night, it was very likely that no one would go out at all.

Even if they knock on the door, it might not be possible.

That's terrible.

However, just as the two of them were feeling down about this, they noticed that there were still lights on in a courtyard not far away, and even torches were hanging on the gate. The bright lights indicated that there were still people there.

"Let's go, over there."

Julian and Lu Xiaoyao walked towards the light and, sure enough, saw Mu Chen standing under the eaves in the courtyard.

White plaques hung in the courtyard, and the coffin in the main room could be seen from the courtyard gate.

This family has obviously experienced a funeral.

Julian and Lu Xiaoyao exchanged a glance and entered the courtyard. Mu Chen heard the noise, looked up, saw Julian and Lu Xiaoyao, and then looked away, continuing to listen to the middle-aged couple's conversation.

“My son may be mentally challenged, but he has a good heart and knows how to help us take care of the chickens. Although he doesn’t like to interact with people in the village, he will help anyone who needs his help. You tell me, such a good child, how… how…”

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman covered her face and wept again. Julian stepped forward and happened to see the familiar black and white photo in the main room, and he was immediately stunned.

"This...this isn't what they told us that day..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mu Chen stopped him with a glance, then turned to the mentally challenged child's parents and said, "Please accept our condolences. We just came down from the mountain today and it's quite unexpected to encounter this... Let us offer him some incense."

After Mu Chen finished speaking, the other party did not refuse and invited them to come inside to offer incense.

After offering incense, Mu Chen and the others did not leave. Instead, they made an excuse to stay in the house and chat with the parents who had lost their son for a while.

Only then did they realize that the person who had been in trouble was their youngest son. He had gone missing once when he was a child, and after they found him and brought him back, they didn't know what had happened to him in the wild and how he had been so traumatized that he had gone insane.

After that, he became nervous and scared whenever he saw people. His family had no choice but to build him a house near the chicken farm so that he could live away from the village and take care of the chickens.

They never expected that last night not only would all the chickens at their chicken farm die, but their child would also be gone.

Upon hearing this, the couple broke down in tears again.

"My God? So many chickens are dead?!"

Lu Xiaoyao exclaimed in surprise. She had previously thought that Mu Chen and the others were being paranoid because they didn't hear the roosters crowing in the morning.

As it turned out, I was slapped in the face hard; something really bad must have happened last night.

"That must have resulted in significant losses?" Julian recalled that his family seemed to have a large-scale chicken farm.

"Fortunately, everyone in the village is very kind-hearted, and they bought them all back at half price." After the woman finished speaking, a trace of shame flashed across her face. "I know that everyone meant well. The chickens were bitten to death for no reason, and they were still willing to buy them back... I will repay everyone when I raise chickens again in the future."

“Auntie, all those chickens of yours that died under mysterious circumstances have been bought? Which families? They all seem to be kind-hearted people.” Julian’s tone was feigned surprise and emotion, which made the other person nod repeatedly.

"Yes, many families in the village love to eat chicken. In recent years, we sometimes don't even need to take the chickens we raise outside the village to sell; the villagers consume them themselves."

"Huh? Don't they raise them themselves?"

Lu Xiaoyao was also confused after hearing this.

"Yes, we raise chickens, but it's not enough to feed them all, so my family started this chicken farming business." (M.cascoo.net)
