Chapter 200
My body felt very heavy in my sleep, I had no dreams, I couldn’t see or hear anything, and even waking up became extremely difficult.
Later, slowly, I began to hear more rustling noises, as if someone was talking, but I couldn't hear it clearly in my confusion.
When Yunmian finally struggled to open her eyes, there was no one in the room.
Only the ball of light guarding the bed flew over as soon as it discovered that she woke up.
"Mianmian..." The system flew up and touched the child's warm forehead. It scanned her body again and made sure that there was no other illness except malnutrition. Then it breathed a sigh of relief silently.
Yunmian sat up from the bed which had an old man's air. Everything in the room looked familiar. It was the bedroom that He Guizhi gave to Xie Jinan.
Yun Mian looked around, pursed her lips, got off the bed, and walked out slowly in her worn-out shoes.
She didn't know what was happening to her, she just couldn't wait to see her mother.
However, when she stepped out of the bedroom, she saw Xie Jinan sitting under the eaves, teasing the dog with a handful of peanuts.
Hearing the noise coming from the door, Xie Jinan turned around and found that Yun Mian had woken up, stood up and walked towards her.
She walked very close, and Yun Mian subconsciously took a step back.
Seeing this, Xie Jinan raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing that the little guy still remembered his silence that seemed to indicate rejection just now.
However, she had never apologized to anyone in her life. After thinking about it, she grabbed the child's hand hanging by her side and stuffed all the peeled red-skinned peanuts in her hand into her palm.
She stuffed the peanuts in so suddenly that Yunmian had to hold them with both hands to prevent the peanuts from falling to the ground.
Xie Jinan rubbed the child's head with his free hand and said calmly, "You suddenly fainted from hunger just now. Hurry up and eat more, otherwise it will be difficult for you to grow taller in the future."
Starved to the point of being a dwarf.
Yun Mian looked up at her blankly, with only one thought slowly crossing her mind: I fainted from hunger...
Naive and gullible, like a little fool.
When Xie Jinan met the child's innocent and pure gaze, his usually cold conscience jumped twice in an unusual way.
She coughed lightly, stretched out her hand to pick up the dazed Yunmian and put her in front of her, then said to her: "I didn't ignore you on purpose just now, I was just thinking about something, thinking too deeply, so..."
Well, now that things have come to this, this little guy should be able to understand my explanation, right?
She looked at Yunmian with slight anticipation.
Yunmian looked down at the peanuts in her hand, then looked at the protagonist sister who had said a lot, then tilted her head to look at Dahuang who had his mouth open and drooling, and suddenly an equation flashed through her mind.
Give the dog peanuts - to amuse the dog.
Give me peanuts - to tease me.
Dog = me.
Yunmian: “…”
I was a little angry, but I couldn't beat him. Besides, the dog wanted to eat peanuts, and so did I.
The flexible child thought for two seconds, then turned around and ran away with the peanuts.
Xie Jinan: "...Hello? Mianmian, why are you running?"
Looking at the child's back as he ran away, a big question mark appeared in Xie Jinan's head.
Why are you running?
You haven't said whether you accept my explanation and apology?
Are all the NPC kids in this game so unpredictable?
The system also chased after the host and asked her: "Mianmian, why are you running?"
Yunmian held the peanuts tightly in her hand and said as she ran: "If I don't run faster, what if that sister regrets it and asks me to return the peanuts to her?"
There are so many peanuts. I can eat them with mom!
If you are full, you won’t faint from hunger anymore.
It doesn't matter even if the protagonist's sister treats me like a puppy.
system:"……"
Baby, is it possible that the protagonist is just not very good at apologizing and has no intention of teasing you like a puppy?
And you just woke up, is it really reasonable to run so fast? ?
Yunmian was still very hungry, but her mind was now full of thinking about finding a place to hide the peanuts, just like she had hidden all the cookies and candies in the afternoon.
This way, when no one is around at night, I can take the food to the cowshed and eat it with my mother.
Only when I have a full stomach can I think of a way to rescue my mother more quickly.
But when hiding the things, Yun Mian looked at the fairly rich pile of snacks in front of her, hesitated for two seconds, then picked out two bags of biscuits and a candy and put them next to her sister He Fang's pillow.
Then he quietly hid the rest behind his small sleeping nest, a place that was difficult to find no matter from which direction you looked.
"Uncle System, can I eat more delicious food after I rescue my mother?" Yun Mian carefully picked up a few peanuts and slowly put them into her mouth, eating while looking forward to her future life.
The system was silent for a moment, then chose to lie: "Of course, Mianmian's mother is the best. She will buy you whatever you want to eat."
Listening to its words, Yunmian couldn't help but bend her eyes happily, and nodded vigorously after swallowing the sweet peanuts: "Yeah! But I don't eat anything too expensive, my mother works so hard to make money. When I grow up and make a lot of money, I will buy the most delicious food and eat it with my mother!"
She didn't know that this was a copy of the game with an infinite loop that would never have an eighth day and from which she could never get out.
She also didn't know that what she and her mother were experiencing was an endless cycle of suffering that would repeat itself over and over again.
This mission world is far more difficult than the previous ones, because if it cannot be completed this time, Yunmian will be trapped in this copy together with the system, repeating over and over again, and will never be able to get out.
The system doesn't want to scare Yunmian, and the host is only five years old, an age when ordinary children are playing with plasticine and watching cartoons. It won't be so cruel as to ask the host to work so hard to pass the level.
Clearing the game is the player's protagonist's responsibility, but compared to the protagonist, the system places more hope on the host's mother, Yun Jinxing.
If she really had a special identity, she would never let Yunmian fall into an infinite loop and never be able to get out.
After watching the host eat the peanuts with extra care, the system flew over and rubbed her cheek, saying softly, "Don't worry, Mianmian. Xie Jinan didn't reject you. She was just thinking before. Does Mianmian often ignore the surrounding environment when she thinks about things? Don't be afraid, we still have a chance."
Hearing this, Yunmian sat on the haystack and nodded obediently, holding her cheek with her little hand, looking at the gradually setting sun, and said softly: "Uncle, I really want to grow up all of a sudden~"
When you grow up and become as big as the main characters, you won't have to rely on others to save your mother. You can run away with her on your back after rescuing her, and you can also protect your mother from being bullied by bad guys.
I wish there really were magic potions like those in cartoons in the world.
The system listened to the host's childish words. Although it was obviously a mechanical product, it felt a little soft-hearted.
But it knows that the host is not lost at this time. The child is the always positive puppy Mianmian. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will try his best to fight for it.
At the He family, Xie Jinan sat back on the wooden chair, sorting out all the information he had obtained.
In fact, when she received the paper ball from Yunmian in the afternoon, she already had a rough idea of what the so-called truth of this novice level was related to.
But at that time Yunmian suddenly had a convulsion and fell into a coma, and her thoughts came to a halt. After she brought the child back, she faced He Fang's questioning and rejection, and it took a lot of time just to explain.
Only now did she have the energy to integrate all the known information.
Combining Yunmian's story, the poverty and backwardness of this village, the preference for boys over girls in this family, and the shocking social news in real life, it is roughly certain that this village must have been involved in "human trafficking."
Most of the time, some women were trafficked to this village for trading, and Yun Mian’s mother Yun Jinxing was a victim of this trading chain.
But when she tried to submit her answer, the system reminded her that she could not answer based on guesswork alone.
That is to say, players are forced to participate in investigating the truth.
In this case, Xie Jinan would have to consider his own safety.
It is known that this is a village involved in human trafficking. There are less than ten households in the village. According to what was discovered while strolling around during the day, most of them are men and children. So there is an 80 to 90 percent chance that everyone in this village is an "accomplice."
In such circumstances, investigating the truth becomes particularly dangerous.
This was also the reason why Xie Jinan used peanuts to tease the dog just now. She found that every household in the village raised this kind of big dog that looked very difficult to mess with, and most of them were like He Yonghong's family. They would rather starve their children than not feed the dog.
So in the process of investigating the truth, as a player, he has to face not only the NPCs in the village, but also more than a dozen ferocious big dogs. In this situation... even Xie Jinan couldn't help but scold this dog game for being inhuman.
Almost all the ways out for the players are blocked, and this is still called a novice level? ?
Is your novice level designed to wipe out all players?
What's more, Xie Jinan will never forget the strange reaction that Wang Zhiyong tried so hard to cover up this afternoon.
Adding all the things together, Xie Jinan felt that this nightmare game novice copy was simply a medium-sized criminal group. These NPCs looked like honest and well-behaved farmers on the surface, but in fact, each of them might have blood on their hands that could not be washed away.
"Let's not talk about investigating the truth first...how can we save the little guy's mother?" Xie Jinan slumped in the chair with a headache and began to miss the mental hospital where he was.
It is true that contrast creates beauty. Compared with this group of criminals, the patients in the mental hospital seem much more lovable.
It's the 200th chapter. Starting next month, I will update 3,000 words a day. I always stay up late on Saturday and I'm in a bad mood, which causes the plot to become dragged out. In addition, including the previous few months, I have lost two or three months of full attendance because of a few words each time... I hope my dears can forgive me, I'm sorry.
