Chapter 67: The cave monster cub is not a fool!
"Rongrong, stay home and look after the house. There's going to be a group of people from out of town coming over tonight. Don't run around, okay?"
As soon as Gu Rong woke up, he heard the last two sentences.
What caught my eye was the dilapidated roof above my head, covered with spider webs, and two big spiders crawling around on it.
Gu Rong turned his little head and looked around the room again, and found himself in a small, dilapidated house. There was only the wooden bed he was lying on and a wooden table with a missing leg.
There were ropes tied everywhere in the room, and on the ropes were either drier clothes or some tools, such as machetes, kitchen knives, iron forks, and iron rods with sharp edges cut at one end.
Various farm tools, such as hoes, shovels, and some moldy and worm-eaten wood were erected on the wall.
Gu Rong blinked his eyes. He had just entered the dungeon and was confused about the situation.
As soon as he moved, he found himself wrapped in a sheet, like a little dumpling, similar to the way a baby is wrapped, and there was even a sturdy bow tied around his body.
Gu Rong called out to 006 in his mind: [006, why is Rongrong tied up? ]
He struggled, but the binding was too tight and he couldn't get away at all.
006 said: [Little host, don't panic. Please receive the copy information...]
Before Gu Rong could receive the message, footsteps were heard approaching the bed.
Gu Rong was still struggling to move his body, but when he noticed a huge black shadow moving towards him, he stopped and stared blankly at the person who came.
The man who came was an old man in his fifties, hunchbacked, with a fierce face, a slightly bald head, and rough, dark skin.
The most terrifying thing was that there was a large tumor on his bald head, which was almost one-third the size of his head, piled on his forehead, which was extremely creepy.
The old man walked over to the bed and stood still, looking at Gu Rong, who was wrapped like a baby and lying flat on the bed. He spoke with a mouthful of yellow teeth: "You are still restless even when tied up like this. Didn't I just warn you not to run around? You are really not an obedient child."
Gu Rong has always been obedient, and this is the first time he has been accused of being disobedient.
He didn't run away, you're wrongly accusing him! Humph!
Gu Rong was not afraid of the old man's deformed appearance. He had seen many more terrifying deformed things. What's more, at this time, the tumor on the old man's head was blurred out.
Gu Rong said in a baby voice, "Let the cubs go!"
When the old man heard the silly child speak, he exclaimed in surprise and his wrinkled eyes widened a little.
This child is the only child in their Gujia Village, and also the only little fool.
Not to mention speaking, he can't do anything except eating and sleeping. He eats and sleeps every day, and eats when he wakes up. He raises him like a piglet every day.
The only thing was that sometimes he came back too late, and the little fool got hungry and ran out.
In order to prevent the little fool from running away, he had to wrap him in a quilt every time he went out.
The old man said, "I thought you were dumb, little fool, but you can actually talk. Even if you can talk, you can't let go. Lie down and don't run around."
Gu Rongcai was not a dumb little boy, nor was he a fool. Hearing the old man always wrongly accusing him, he became angry and his fair and tender face turned red with anger.
The old man didn't have time to waste on Gu Rong. Seeing him fuming like a puffed-up ball, he found it amusing. Not only did he not let Gu Rong go, he even tied the bow tighter, then turned and walked out, locking the wooden door from the outside.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and only Gu Rong was left.
Gu Rong didn't feel uncomfortable lying down, so he was too lazy to move, like a little salted fish.
It was afternoon, but the house was dark and cluttered, and not a single ray of sunlight could get in. Not only was the room dark and damp, but there was also a pungent, unpleasant smell of mold, mixed with the stench of sourness and decay—in short, it just didn't smell good.
Gu Rong wrinkled his nose and sneezed softly: [Stinky!]
006 is a small system and cannot smell the stench that Gu Rong described, so he immediately bought a bottle of aromatherapy for Gu Rong to remove the odor.
The aroma of the incense is so fragrant, mixed with all kinds of strange smells, it invades your lungs and soul, it is absolutely amazing.
Gu Rong retched and said in a baby voice: [yue——]
006: [……]
006 immediately removed the aromatherapy and bought a mask for Gu Rong to isolate herself from the outside world.
Gu Rong had a small children's mask on her face, revealing only a pair of big watery eyes, which blinked. It took her a long time to recover.
006 said: [Little host, the NPC just now was Old Man Gu. The setting of this dungeon for the little host is that he is an orphan, raised by Old Man Gu.]
Gu Rong's voice was crisp and tender: [Why did Old Man Gu call me a little fool? ]
Because Old Man Gu had wronged him many times and even tied him up, the usually polite and courteous boy called Old Man Gu directly.
006 paused and said, "According to the setting, the little host is just a little fool who only knows how to eat and sleep, and doesn't even talk."
The setting is just that he doesn't speak, it doesn't say that he can't speak. It doesn't go against his character setting if Gu Rong speaks.
Gu Rong said: [Zizi is not a little fool.]
006: [Of course, how could the little host be a little fool? He is clearly a little smart guy! ]
Gu Rong: [This kid is really smart! ]
In his child's perception, bigger is better than smaller.
006: [……]
OK.
According to the copy, this is Gujia Village, located in a large mountain valley.
This mountain is called Shenzhong Mountain, and it attracts many outsiders to come and explore every year.
The reason why Shenzhong Mountain is famous is that no matter from which angle you look at it, the mountain looks like the silhouette of a man lying flat on his back. It makes people feel afraid, but at the same time, they can't help but be curious and want to find out what's going on.
Secondly, half of Shenzhong Mountain is buried deep underground. Over time, it has formed a natural underground cave, which is very suitable for cave lovers to explore.
In order to attract tourists, the ancestors of Gujia Village made up a set of myths and legends for this mountain, adding a touch of mystery.
This mountain was originally nameless, but because its profile resembled a man lying flat on his back, it was named Shenzhong Mountain.
Shenzhong Mountain, as the name suggests, is the tomb of God.
It is said that this mountain is not an ordinary mountain, but the body of a god after his death, and this mountain is the remains of that god.
The caves buried deep underground are winding, with large and small caves and passages that look like human intestines and organs, which are the abdominal cavity of the god.
Although the god is dead, his heart still beats and has never dried up. As long as you get the blood in the heart that has not completely dried up, even if it is just one drop, drinking it can make you immortal.
Whenever something is related to longevity, whether true or false, there will always be people who want to find out the truth.
Shenzhong Mountain attracted more and more people to come here. Over time, it became famous and everyone wanted to find the heart of the god in the underground cave and get a drop of divine blood.
But no one has found it yet.
At first everything seemed normal and it was just a gimmick to attract people, but later, everything went wrong.
Anyone who enters the Shenzhong Mountain Cave will be cursed.
To lift the curse, one must find the heart of the god and drink a drop of divine blood.
…
Gu Rong loved listening to stories, and he listened with great interest. After the story was over, he asked, "How did that immortal die?"
006 said: [When making up a legend like this, one cannot go into too much detail. Any detail will inevitably be subject to verification, and verification will make it untenable. This legend is unknown, and if it's too detailed, it loses its mysterious quality, doesn't pique the imagination, and doesn't inspire curiosity.]
The unknown is what makes people afraid. Anyone who dares to go down the cave is a brave person who likes exciting adventures. Fear is not an obstacle, but rather arouses their curiosity.
Gu Rong was a timid kid, twisting and turning on the bed: [Kid wants to go and see, hey hey, hey hey, kid wants to get up!]
He pupated, and with each pupation, his little body jumped up a little, and soon his little head hit the wall at the head of the bed.
The bed doesn't even have a backrest, and the walls are made of mud, uneven, mottled and peeling.
As soon as Gu Rong's little head touched the wall, he was covered with dust. The wall started to fall off and all over Gu Rong's face.
Gu Rong immediately closed his eyes, said "Pooh pooh", and quickly went down.
The little cub instantly turned into a dirty cub.
006 wanted to laugh but didn't dare, trying hard to hold it back: [Little host, why don't we get some sleep first? When Old Man Gu comes back, he'll probably have untied the little host.]
Gu Rong hadn't received any system tasks yet, and had nothing to do. He wasn't hungry either, so he closed his eyes upon hearing this: "Okay, baby, go to sleep!"
He went to bed as soon as he was told to. Wrapped in the quilt, he wouldn't catch a cold at all and soon fell into a sound sleep.
006 looked at the little host who was sleeping soundly and couldn't help but smile.
Apart from anything else, the little host is really easy-going.

When Gu Rong woke up, it was already evening.
The room was pitch black and strangely quiet, looking particularly eerie and scary, just like a small dark room, making people feel creepy.
After all, Gu Rong was only a two-year-old cub. He kept blinking his eyes, looking here and there, and couldn't move. He couldn't help but feel a little scared.
It wasn't the fear of monsters, but the fear of the dead silence with only him as the only cub.
This reminded him of the time after Grandpa Ming's death.
After Grandpa Ming died, he was left alone and had to sleep alone under a bridge. At night, he had to worry about whether a big zombie or a mutant would take him away, and he had to be on guard against humans capturing him for research.
Because this little zombie cub looks different from other zombies, humans have always wanted to capture him for research.
When Grandpa Ming is around, he can sleep peacefully. If someone comes to steal the cubs, Grandpa Ming will hide him or drive the bad guy away.
Once, he was almost taken away by a big zombie. Grandpa Ming chased after it with his small crutch and hit the zombie's head hard with the crutch, smashing it into pieces before he rescued him.
Grandpa Ming said that as long as you knock off the zombie's head, you can kill the zombie.
Upon hearing this, Gu Rong was so frightened that he quickly hugged his little head.
During that period, whenever he was not sleeping, even when he was eating, he had to use one hand to protect his head, for fear that others would hit him on the head.
Because he is also a zombie, if he has no head, he will be dead.
Thinking of this, Gu Rong missed Grandpa Ming a little.
I don’t know when I can see Grandpa Ming, and my parents again.
At this moment, with a "ding" sound, Gu Rong received the system task.
[Mission: Gujia Village has welcomed a new group of tourists. The village chief has prepared a bonfire party for the guests tonight. Please join us.]
[Reward: 50,000 points, 1 child safety helmet.]
When Gu Rong heard that there would be a bonfire party in the evening, his eyes lit up.
He didn't know much about bonfire parties, but he knew they would be fun.
Children love to play, and their emotions come and go quickly. I was just thinking about Grandpa Ming, but now that I hear there is something to play, my little disappointment has disappeared.
Gu Rong said: [Rong Rong is going to attend the party! ]
As she spoke, she twisted her body and said, "But I'm tied up, how can I strangle myself?"
006 said: [We asked Old Man Gu to take us there. Listen, Old Man Gu is back.]
At this moment, footsteps and the sound of unlocking were heard outside the house.
