Chapter 160 Chapter 160 "In that case," Li...
"In that case," Li Baili thought for a moment, "we should not interfere too much. It would be too tiring and might not be safe. Let's look around first. Maybe there is a way."
Li Hanshuang naturally agreed without hesitation.
Lao Cao watched them from the side, waited for a while and asked: "Gentlemen, what should we do now?"
Li Baili said: "Let's take a look around and see if there is anything wrong. Maybe there is a solution there. We can't always focus on one place to find a solution."
Lao Cao nodded, half believing and half doubting, "Okay, I'll let them all go and take a look."
"Okay." Li Baili nodded.
Lao Cao turned around and waved to everyone, asking them to disperse and look around. Everyone was very obedient and thought there might be a solution, so they went out quickly.
They went out and searched for about a day. It was getting dark and people gradually came back. When they counted the number of people, they found that something seemed wrong, so they counted again.
"Why does it seem like there is one more person?" Lao Cao frowned in confusion, muttered to himself, and planned to count again.
Li Baili held him down and asked, "How many times did you count just now?"
Lao Cao replied respectfully, "Twice."
"Then it should be the same the third time." Li Baili said with a frown.
"What should we do then?" asked Lao Cao.
"Look at you and see who is different? Who is the extra one?" Li Baili asked calmly and composedly without changing her expression.
Lao Cao thought about it carefully, blinked and shook his head: "I don't know, there are too many people, I can't tell them apart for a moment."
"Then you should look carefully this time, tell them apart and tell me. If you still can't tell them apart, I'll go and take a look." Li Baili said.
"Okay." Lao Cao scratched his head, turned around and walked through the crowd, then came back and said to Li Baili, "I didn't see it. I'm afraid I can't see it anymore."
He sighed deeply, and stood there with his head down, looking extremely dejected. A long tail appeared behind him, flashing by in the darkness.
Li Baili raised her eyebrows, walked to a dark and secluded place, and waved to him: "Excuse me, please come here first."
Lao Cao did not doubt him, nodded, and walked towards Li Baili, asking as he walked: "Did you find anything? Or is there something else? What do you want to talk about in private?"
He walked up to Li Baili, and Li Baili pulled him, and he and Li Baili stood behind the tree together. It was a big tree, and the trunk was big enough to block three people behind it.
It just so happened that Li Hanshuang was also here. The tree trunks blocked them all. The three of them stood here, and unless someone outside came over, they would not be discovered for a while.
Lao Cao blinked, a little overwhelmed, and asked them: "What's the matter? Can you tell me now? Why are you so serious?"
Li Baili raised her hand and grabbed the tail behind him. It was a long, big and soft tail. She handed it to him and said, "Is this yours? Do you have anything to say?"
The most important thing is that it was not an animal's tail, but something made of black gas.
Lao Cao was stunned for a moment, and quickly waved his hands, panicking and firmly denying: "I don't know! It's not mine! How could it be here? Where did it come from?"
Li Baihe nodded: "Don't worry, since you said it's not yours, I'll help you deal with it, don't worry."
Lao Cao was crying and crawling on the ground. He rushed to Li Baili, stretched out his arms like a slug with hands, and shouted, "You are my savior! Thank you, thank you!"
Li Baili clenched his fists and exerted force, and the black tail broke into pieces in his hands, and the broken tail turned into scattered black gas.
Li Baili collected the black air and stored it temporarily. Lao Cao suddenly pounced and hit Li Baili. His fingernails became pointed, his face turned ashen, fangs were exposed in his mouth, his eyes were red and bulging, his hair stood up, and black air overflowed from his body.
Li Baili's eyes lit up, and she immediately injected the collected black energy into Lao Cao's body. Lao Cao paused for a moment, and then became excited as if he had taken a tonic pill. He pounded his chest like a chimpanzee and howled.
Li Baili slapped him, took out a rope and tied it around his neck. He tried to attack Li Baili, but failed to break through her defense and his efforts were in vain.
He wanted to bite Li Baili. Li Baili put the rope on and took a step back. Li Hanshuang walked forward and beat the old grass into a round black ball, but the ball was still tied with a rope.
Li Baili took a look and said to Li Hanshuang, "Let's make it into a puppy. It will be more normal to hold it on a leash! We can also let it absorb the surrounding black air while walking on the road. It can be considered as purification. We can also save some energy. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"
"No problem." Li Hanshuang nodded with a smile, and quickly beat the black ball into the shape of a black puppy, and put a rope around the puppy's neck.
After Li Baihe looked at it, she nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad, this is very suitable."
Li Hanshuang smiled and walked over to Li Baihe and asked, "Do I have any reward?"
Li Baili thought for a moment and said, "How about we go home and eat fried chicken?"
"Okay!" Li Hanshuang's voice suddenly became excited and he agreed immediately.
Li Baili nodded, holding the leash, dragging the dog, and walked out from behind the tree trunk with Li Hanshuang.
Not long after walking, an old man holding his belt came back hurriedly from a distance. His face was wrinkled, he smelled musty, and the soles of his shoes seemed a little wet.
"Where have you been?" Li Baili asked him, standing not far from him.
"I'm going to the toilet! I asked Xiaocao to keep an eye on it for me! Nothing will happen! Don't worry!" Laocao waved his hand and couldn't help but pull up his belt.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable in your stomach?" Li Baili asked with concern.
"No, no," Lao Cao laughed quickly, "Maybe I drank too much milk yesterday. There's nothing I can do about it. I had a lot of it stored at home before, ready to drink it slowly, but something happened and everyone moved away. Now that I'm back, the milk is still drinkable, but it was stored for too long, so I have to drink it up as soon as possible. A little diarrhea is okay, it will be fine after a while if I don't drink it."
Li Baili nodded thoughtfully and suddenly asked, "So you gave the child milk to sell off your inventory?"
Although he didn't understand what selling inventory meant, but combined with what he had just said, Lao Cao suddenly understood that Li Baili thought it was not good for him to give the child milk that had been stored for a long time.
Lao Cao smiled and said to Li Baihe, "I have drunk it. The milk is good. If it was bad, it would have been a problem long ago. We would have to see a doctor!"
Li Baili did not comment on his answer, but asked again: "What about the grass?"
Lao Cao looked around, a little confused: "Is he not here? I thought he was here. He should be nearby. He didn't go out to look for anything. He can't be like me."
Lao Cao scratched his head and said, "But I didn't see him in the toilet."
"Then let's look for it again!" Li Baili said with a sigh.
Lao Cao nodded: "Okay, okay!"
As he walked, he wondered, "Why did you suddenly pick a little black dog to lead? When did it happen? I don't think I saw it before I left!"
"It happened when you were not here just now," Li Baili glanced at the black dog and replied, "Stay away, be careful of biting people, this thing has a bad temper."
Lao Cao smiled and nodded: "I know, I know!"
After a while, he came back in a hurry and said, "Oh no! Xiaocao was found! But he said that he counted several times and there was one more person!
Who are you talking about? Why didn't you say anything and just blended into the crowd? We're not going to kill anyone we see!"
Li Baili waved her hand: "Don't worry, let the crowd stand still, I'll take a look."
When Lao Cao heard that there was a solution, he was relieved and nodded, shouting to the crowd: "Quickly stand up! We can go home after the count is done!"
The crowd stood together, and Li Baili walked over with the dog. When passing by a person, the dog suddenly behaved a little strangely. Li Baili stopped and looked at the person. She couldn't tell anything about the person's appearance. He looked just like the people around him, and didn't look like anything strange.
Li Baili asked, "What's your name?"
The man said, "My name is Liu Er."
Li Baili nodded and asked, "Whose?"
The two people next to him smiled and raised their hands and said, "We are from this family."
The two people were a man and a woman. Li Baili looked at them and asked, "What's the relationship?"
The two people blinked their eyes and said, "We are husband and wife, and that is my child."
"Why call him Liu Er? Is this your second child?" Li Baili's voice was calm but with a hint of inquiry.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, scratched their faces, and said hesitantly, "Really?"
"Where is the boss?" Li Baili asked.
"Dead!" they remembered.
"You all know him too?" Li Baili looked at the others.
Others said, "I know him. He's a very obedient kid. He doesn't go out. He just works at home. He doesn't talk much. When he goes out to do something, he goes home right after he's done. He never stays too long. He's very good!"
Li Baili nodded and pretended to loosen the rope accidentally. The black dog suddenly pounced forward and bit Liu Er's leg. Liu Er screamed in pain.
Everyone nearby was startled and rushed over, trying to get the dog away, but before they could do anything, Liu Er turned into a ball of black gas and was eaten by the dog. The dog squatted on the ground and burped loudly. Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, not knowing whether to go forward or backward.
A group of people were crowded here, like a pile of wood. Lao Cao didn't know what was going on. He squeezed over and saw Li Baili, and asked, "Has that person been found?"
