"Can you tell me now?" Ning Que asked, and then Hu Yuanshan made an OK gesture.
"Your movements have some military idioms. My cousin is a soldier. Don't bluff me. I recognize some of them." Ning Que remembered how he almost died in the last dungeon. Seeing his hesitation, he gave him another drastic measure. "Help me with this. From now on, as long as I'm in the dungeon, I'm determined to provide you with more information than anyone else. Don't ask too much about the source."
"Sister, what are your conditions? I need to see if I can bear it."
"Do you have money?"
Hu Yuanshan was a little stunned, but he still answered obediently, "It's okay."
"Yuanyuan, that should be plus my training fees, right?" Ning Que felt a little embarrassed. Seeing Hu Yuanshan's puzzled expression, he gave up. "Just help me find a good teacher to teach me shooting, diving, and Sanda. Ideally, one who can kill or maim people. You hire the teacher, and you pay the tuition."
"That's easy, I'll just add you." Hu Yuanshan said with a sigh of relief, "I'm ready to bear the unbearable weight of life, but in the end. By the way, sister, if you don't have enough money, you can use points to redeem it."
Ning Que thought to himself, my situation is completely different from yours, so I had to make it up, "Will you be able to redeem it?" Seeing Hu Yuanshan shaking his head, "My situation is quite different from yours."
"Sister, let's contact offline. By the way, sister, what's your name?" Hu Yuanshan seemed a little embarrassed.
"Ning Que, Ning Que, who prefers to be unscrupulous, I'll find a way to get rid of him from the village chief."
For dinner, Xiao Hudie and Feng Hao went to eat at Sanwu's wife's house, while Hu Yuanshan was with Ning Que. At the dinner table, "Auntie, why didn't brother come back?"
"Your brother said he needs to write some essays for graduation, and he doesn't have time to come back during the summer vacation."
Ning Que: "Oh, the thesis, will you still be there after graduation?"
"Yes, that thing is called a thesis. My Jiabao has mentioned it to me many times, but I can't remember it every time. He is still there. By the way, his school is close to where you work." The village chief's wife's face was beaming when she mentioned her son. She talked about many things about her son, and her tone was full of pride.
Ning Que quickly interrupted, "Aunt, I saw my brother with a beautiful girl. He looked like a star on TV."
The village chief's wife was surprised and grabbed Ning Que's hand: "Oh my goodness, my dear, where did you see that?"
Ning Que began to talk nonsense in a serious tone, "I was looking for a job before. That company was the best, but I didn't get the job. When I was leaving, I saw my brother coming out of the company, arm in arm with that girl, chatting and laughing."
"Nannan, is that your brother's girlfriend?"
Ning Que took the village chief's wife's arm and said to her, "My brother didn't tell me this either, but if you can hold hands like this, it's pretty close."
The village head's wife then looked very excited and overjoyed. Before leaving, she said, "Nannan, I'll go out and talk to them first. Oh, my daughter-in-law."
"Auntie, I'm not sure yet."
"It's almost certain. Even if it's not, it will be. Your uncle will be back the day after tomorrow, and I will have a good talk with him." She went out, twisting her hips and humming a little tune.
"Sister, how did you know?" Hu Yuanshan looked curious. Ning Que pointed outside, implying that walls could hear him. "Go up and tell them."
Suddenly, Hu Yuanshan bent down, approached the door more slowly, and knocked. A rhythmic knock echoed from inside. He straightened up and exhaled, "One of us."
After entering, Little Butterfly stuck to the door and said to Hu Yuanshan, "It was discovered over there that Wu San's wife has a stupid son. They seem to have discovered something. We have to speed up."
Hu Yuanshan took out the compass, while Ning Que silently took out the ball of red wool, found the end of the yarn, wound it around a few times, and placed the remaining part in the box, like a small tail sticking out.
Little Butterfly said, "Tonight, we have to find a way to rescue the girl, otherwise if they get there first, we'll lose all our points."
Ning Que asked, "Where is the rescue area? This village?"
Little Butterfly glanced at him, and Hu Yuanshan said, "One of us."
"I'll call you sister too. You look older than me. The mission is to completely free the woman from suffering." Ning Que stopped Little Butterfly before she could finish her words.
Hu Yuanshan said excitedly, "Oh, oh, oh, I get it, completely."
"Yes, get rid of the pain completely. Either leave this place and start a new life, or die." Ning Que thought of the end of the dream. She seemed to have become that woman, with a protruding belly and sweat on her body that was about to marinate her. He watched the woman running desperately with disheveled hair and bare feet until she ran into the woods. Behind her was the light from the torches held up by the searching villagers, illuminating the night like day.
The women grabbed her flesh with ferocious faces, shouting, "Why are you able to go out?" Finally, the woman was caught and a man with a blurred face slapped her in the face, and her head was buzzing. Another man next to her said viciously, "Eat it tomorrow, run, run, run even when you are pregnant." "Do you dare to eat it?" "Of course I don't, it's very nutritious." The group of people went back talking and laughing, cursing.
After that, he was locked in a dark room. Ning Que could feel the fear. A woman's voice was whispering in his ears, saying in various tones, "Come and keep us company." Suddenly, the woman's face appeared in front of Ning Que. She pushed him and cried, "I'm sorry, I'm scared too. I have to let you down."
Ning Que's vision changed. She was inside the woman's body. The woman said thank you to her and disappeared. After that, Ning Que woke up to a man holding a knife. The knife was curved and hooked. He walked towards her and slashed the knife at her stomach.
Ning Que shuddered, and Hu Yuanshan happened to see her. She waved her hand, indicating that she was fine. "It's usually difficult for women who have been trafficked to shake off the trauma for a while. It's difficult to completely escape the pain. I tend to lean towards the second opinion."
Little Butterfly looked at her with a chilling expression. Ning Que continued, "Then let's continue to speculate. If this is the case, why would the system issue this task? It means it can be achieved or completed." She thought about the story in her dream and said, "I think this woman might be like a demon trapped in a bottle for a thousand years. If you try to rescue her, you will only release a demon."
Everyone fell into deep thought. Ning Que took out some plum candy from his bag and stuffed it into his mouth. "This is just my guess, but we can let them test the waters."
Feng Hao said, “What if they get points after being rescued?”
Ning Que held the utmost malice in his heart, "Then let them be captured again, and then you can see if the mission will be reissued."
Hu Yuanshan shrugged. "I have no problem with that. As long as I don't die, it's fine. It's just a side quest, not a main quest."
Finally, everyone agreed. Hu Yuanshan whispered something to Little Butterfly, and she left. Ning Que lay in bed, fiddling with the red string he had just removed, wondering what he should do. Should he trust the system or those two women... Never mind. He'd take it one step at a time, trusting each half.
Feng Hao arrived, and Little Butterfly recounted everyone's speculations and plans. Ning Que stood up and said to the two of them, "You're getting this information for free. Remember to pay Yuanyuan after I finish. Forget about being a newbie; answer some of my questions later and that'll be your reward."
Little Butterfly was furious. "Why?" Feng Hao stopped her. "This is the rule. I understand."
Ning Que suddenly went out to take a look and came back. He looked at Feng Hao and he immediately made a gesture. He spread his hands to Hu Yuanshan and said, "Yuanyuan, take out the compass and use it. It's a double insurance." Hu Yuanshan was stunned for a moment before taking out the thing.
The light in that room was not turned on until very late.
It's the third day.
Feng Hao and Little Butterfly went to Sanwu's wife's place early in the morning, while Ning Que and Hu Yuanshan went to the lake around nine o'clock. Looking at the tree where the brother who was trapped last time was, Ning Que was very curious about why. "Yuanyuan, come on! Dig this tree out." "Sister, do you have any doubts about this?"
"I just think that we should treat all unknown things with a scientific, objective and dialectical attitude. As it happens, this matter is an unsolved mystery. I think you are capable enough to handle this task." Ning Que touched the trap laid by the previous day and poured the fish into the bucket he brought.
Hu Yuanshan saw Ning Que about to leave, "Wait, sister, what are you going to do then?"
Ning Que replied from a distance, "I'm going to explore ancient customs. You do your best."
