Chapter 35: The Secret of Linhu Village 6
After Su Qingyun put away her phone, she stood there thinking.
She was thinking about how credible the information provided by Ye Jian was, and was also thinking about whether she should team up with Xu Xinghe.
Objectively speaking, Xu Xinghe is indeed the most capable. In just one night, he figured out who in the village was related to Lin Zhongxian.
And she currently knows nothing about the monster in the center of the lake.
"What are you thinking about?" A voice came from behind Su Qingyun.
Su Qingyun turned around and saw Xu Xinghe. The rising morning light dyed his hair golden, which made his long eyelashes look even darker.
"I was wondering," Su Qingyun narrowed her eyes and looked at the man in front of her, who was shrouded in the morning light. She tilted her head slightly, "How do you know the deceased's name is Xie Daqiang?"
"Because," Xu Xinghe answered seriously, "he was the boatman last night. The lantern on his boat was engraved with the words Xie Daqiang. And last night, the old lady also called him Lao Xie. I guessed it."
"Didn't grandma's eldest daughter-in-law tell you?"
"How can I, a single man, stay at someone else's house overnight and talk to someone else's daughter-in-law?"
Is that so? Su Qingyun looked at Xu Xinghe's straight face. She believed Xu Xinghe and also agreed with Ye Jian's words.
Xu Xinghe is indeed a very powerful trial-taker, at least he is very good at observation.
Su Qingyun went straight to the point. She said, "I have no idea about the lake monster, but I have information about your mission. If you are willing to form an alliance with me..."
"Alliance!" Before Su Qingyun could finish her words, Xu Xinghe took over the conversation. He then thought about it very seriously and said, "Alliance is indeed a good idea. We can share information, but I don't have the information you want."
Judging from his tone, he seemed to be afraid that Su Qingyun would suffer a loss.
"How about we form a team? That would be a true alliance," Xu Xinghe suggested.
Su Qingyun agreed.
Xu Xinghe stretched out his hand.
It's the hand with the ring.
Su Qingyun held it carefully.
The system sounded, congratulating trial participants Su Qingyun and Xu Xinghe for successfully forming a team.
Now please follow the team rules, one...
There are twelve team rules in total, which Su Qingyun never expected. She thought that the Interwoven Dungeon would not have too many rules. At least they did not see the rules anywhere after they arrived in Linhu Village.
Unexpectedly, rules are everywhere.
Xu Xinghe listened carefully and uttered a soft "Ah," "We can't separate. Does not separating mean we have to stay together at night?"
Su Qingyun, "..." There are so many rules, and Xu Xinghe actually cares about this one. Shouldn't he care about the third rule, which states that after forming a team, each person's clearance task will become a common task for two people, and only after completing all of them can it be considered a successful clearance.
Otherwise, the clearance fails.
There is no information about the lake monster yet. From this point of view, it is unfair to Xu Xinghe to form a team.
"Aren't you worried that my mission will hinder you?" Su Qingyun asked him.
Xu Xinghe asked in return, "What is the punishment for failure?"
"Let's try again. The time will be shortened and the difficulty will be increased." Su Qingyun couldn't help but ask, "Were you really pulled into this dungeon temporarily?"
Because these rule systems are released in advance.
Xu Xinghe nodded.
"What about the rubber gloves?"
"I'm a bit of a germaphobe and always carry rubber gloves with me."
Su Qingyun wasn't one to ask questions, but since they were forming a team, she still wanted the other party to be more honest, so she added, "Then are you willing to shake hands with us?"
"Shaking hands is a matter of etiquette, and mysophobia is my personal problem, so..." Xu Xinghe took out a small bottle of alcohol spray, "After shaking hands, I always..."
He sprayed his hands and wiped them, "Just not in front of me."
It turns out that he is so particular and can take everyone's feelings into consideration. Su Qingyun was speechless.
She touched her nose and decided to get down to business. She told Xu Xinghe what Wang Aping had said to her last night.
"The fairy in the forest specializes in seducing men and driving them crazy." Xu Xinghe looked at the madman beating the gong by the lake.
Su Qingyun asked him, "Should we go ask the madman?"
"Little comrade!" Wang Ping's voice came from the lake bank. She called out, "Come back for breakfast."
Su Qingyun looked at Xu Xinghe.
Xu Xinghe, "Let's have breakfast first."
Su Qingyun nodded.
When the two returned to Wang Aping's house, the eldest daughter-in-law Yu Qiaoqiao had already gotten up. She was wearing makeup and a miniskirt, and she came out of the kitchen with her hips twirling as she brought out breakfast.
Breakfast is millet porridge and potatoes, with a side dish.
Yu Qiaoqiao put breakfast on the table and said to Xu Xinghe in a sweet voice, "Little brother, I made these side dishes myself, you should eat more."
After saying that, he reached out and pinched Xu Xinghe's arm.
Su Qingyun quickly looked away and pretended not to see it.
In the 1980s, Yu Qiaoqiao's dressing style was quite bold in a place like the countryside. However, Yu Qiaoqiao was not good-looking, with a round face, dark skin, and a flat nose. Her delicate and artificial appearance was very similar to a tiger acting coquettishly.
Su Qingyun felt a little sad for Xu Xinghe.
Unexpectedly, Xu Xinghe lifted his butt and sat next to Su Qingyun. He first took out the alcohol spray and sprayed it on the place where Yu Qiaoqiao had pinched her. Then he said to Yu Qiaoqiao very politely but seriously, "Sorry, big sister, I don't like others touching me."
"Ouch," Yu Qiaoqiao covered her mouth and chuckled, "I just pinched him lightly. Look how scared he was. He's so shy."
"That's enough." Wang Aping said, "The two comrades are from the city, and city people have many rules. You are just a country woman, so why are you twisting someone's arm? Besides, Comrade Xu is Comrade Xiao Su's boyfriend, so you should be more careful."
Su Qingyun, "..." When did Xu Xinghe become her boyfriend?
Did she introduce it like that?
"No, grandma, we..."
Wang Aping picked up a potato and handed it to Su Qingyun, interrupting her explanation. "Eat it quickly. Our village chief will talk to you later."
"The village chief is looking for us?" Su Qingyun glanced at Xu Xinghe. She guessed it was about the Forest Fairy, but she still asked, "What is it?"
"That's good. You guys eat first, and you'll know when you get there."
"Hmph!" Yu Qiaoqiao laughed sarcastically beside her.
Su Qingyun felt that this was not a good thing, but she was happy that the plot was moving forward. She took the chopsticks handed to her by Xu Xinghe and started to eat breakfast.
