Yueya guessed that Xiaofeng was in this paper house, and the two quickly started a search.
There are three rooms in the paper house. They investigated the rooms while calling Xiaofeng's name.
"Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng...are you here?" Their calls echoed in the empty house, but there was no response.
Fortunately, the old lady guarding outside the house did not stop them.
The first bedroom was filled with simple furniture, not much stuff, and it was easy to see through. Yueya even opened the closet to check, but Xiaofeng was not there.
Little Bear spread his hands and said, "This is the old lady's room, right? Most people would make a big mansion as a sacrifice, but this house seems to be a replica of the house she lived in when she was alive. Is she waiting for her grandson this way?"
"I have always suspected that the old lady's grandson also died in the disaster, and might have been eaten by Lin Ao." Yue Ya said, and struggled to open the table drawer with his clumsy fingers.
There was a diary in the drawer. He opened the title page and saw the handwriting was very childish, with pinyin and typos. It should be the handwriting of the old grandmother's grandson.
"Grandma promised to buy me Toro and marbles. I'm so happy!"
"I still want to go to the mountains to look for juzi, but grandma didn't agree to let me go. When will grandma let me go..."
Yueya tilted his head. What is a juzi? An orange?
"My sister who lives next door brought a brother back home. He keeps staring at me. He's so weird."
This brother is staring at you, he wants to eat you, poor kid.
"My sister promised to make me a butterfly doll. I'm so excited. I want to get that doll!"
Butterfly doll? Yueya thought of the butterfly doll in her backpack. It turned out that it was a gift made by Little Butterfly for the little boy next door.
Fei Fei suddenly shouted towards the door. Yue Ya looked over and saw a paper figurine standing outside the room, sticking its pale head out and looking at him silently!
A closer look reveals that this little paper man is much more delicately made than theirs. Its eyes are three-dimensional black beads, and there is a delicate little paper box hanging around its neck... No, what is hanging around the little paper man's neck are headphones. This is Xiao Feng!
"Xiao Feng?"
The little paper man didn't respond to him and turned and ran away.
Little Bear spun his umbrella, a little confused: "What's going on? Xiao Feng can't run away when he sees us. Is this little paper man a fake?"
"Let's catch up first."
Yue Ya chased out of the living room, but the little paper man had disappeared.
Yueya went into the second room and didn't see it either. Little Bear checked the last room and said to Yueya, "I don't know where the little paper man has gone. I checked the closet and it's not here."
The house where Yueya lives has relatively small furniture and the walls are covered with award certificates. It is the room of the old grandmother's grandson.
He looked at the award certificates on the wall and suddenly realized: "The little paper man is Xiao Feng."
Little Bear had come to him: "What do you mean?"
Yueya said: "The body belongs to Xiaofeng, but it is occupied by the grandma's grandson. We are the playmates and spare bodies prepared by the grandson. When Xiaofeng's body can't withstand the invasion of Yin Qi and decays, the grandma will take action against us."
Little Bear was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Your camera can catch ghosts, right? I'll lure the ghost out, and you can get it into the camera."
Yueya shook her head: "It would be troublesome if it was Xiaofeng who got into the camera."
Little Bear: "...Right, then we can only catch the little devil and use it to threaten the old lady."
"I've read the kid's diary. He may be reluctant to leave the world just to wait for the doll made by the neighbor's sister. I can use this to lure him out." Yue Ya was about to take out the butterfly doll when he suddenly saw an old-fashioned radio on the table: "I'll check the radio first."
He pressed the play button, and the room was instantly filled with sad crying sounds.
"My little grandson is missing... What should I do if something happens to him? If I can't find him, I might as well kill myself... It's all my fault that I didn't keep an eye on him. I should have accompanied him when he said he wanted to pick oranges... It was because I didn't let him go that he sneaked out at night... It's all my fault... Village chief, my grandson must have been kidnapped by a mountain ghost, you must help me... I kowtow to you, you must help me find him..."
This is the voice of an old grandmother. According to the recording, her grandson was abducted by Lin Ao when he sneaked out to pick oranges at night. The old grandmother thought that her grandson was captured by a mountain ghost so she went to find the village chief. Later, the whole village searched the mountain with torches and came across Lin Ao's murder scene.
The old lady concealed something when she recounted this past event in the bamboo forest. No wonder she was so excited at that time. She witnessed her grandson being killed that night. Yue Ya's previous guess was correct.
"This old lady must hate Lin Ao to death," the little bear howled, "Grandma, please let us out. Let's leave here together and kill Lin Ao!"
Nothing happened after she shouted. The old lady ignored her and the little paper man did not appear.
"It's useless. What she regrets is that she didn't take good care of her grandson, which led to his accident." Knowing this, Yue Ya thought of a way to leave the paper house easily.
Yue Ya took out a butterfly doll from the player's backpack. As soon as it appeared in the paper house, it immediately became miniature and hung on his equally miniature finger.
He shook the butterfly doll and called out in a gentle voice: "Little boy, do you want the doll made by the neighbor sister? If you want it, come out and get it..."
He then listened quietly to the noises in the house, and heard a small sound coming from under the bed. He walked to the bed, squatted down and looked under the bed - the little paper man was lying under the bed, looking at him in astonishment.
Yue Ya shook the butterfly doll in her hand and said in a seductive voice, "Look, brother didn't lie to you. I'm here to deliver the doll on behalf of the sister next door."
When the little paper man saw the butterfly puppet, he crawled towards him on all fours, making a vague sound: "Give it to me...Give it to me..."
Yueya put the butterfly doll into her backpack and said, "Promise me one thing first, and I'll give it to you if you do it."
The puppet disappeared, and the little paper man shrank back cautiously: "Tell me what happened first."
Yueya asked him: "Do you want to go out and play?"
The little paper man lowered his head in disappointment, and said in a muffled voice: "I really want to, but grandma won't let me go out."
"I have a plan."
The little paper man raised his head, his eyes lit up: "What's the solution?"
"Come out first, and I'll tell you." Yueya stood up and waited aside.
The little paper man couldn't resist the temptation and crawled out from under the bed: "Tell me now!"
"We'll go find your grandma later. You just need to tell her that you are going..." Yueya walked to the little paper man and whispered a few words in his ear.
The little paper man's expression froze, and he struggled for a moment: "Okay, in order to go out and play, I'll give it a try."
The two of them walked towards the door with the little paper man. Little Bear remembered the fear of being dominated by the huge eyes and took a deep breath as he walked: "Another eyeball killing is coming."
"Are you ready?" Yueya grabbed the door handle.
"It's ready, go ahead."
Yue Ya opened the door, and a huge bulging eyeball instantly appeared at the door. The red blood vessels on it were clearly visible, and the thick lower eyelashes almost poked his shoes.
"My dear grandson, why did you open the door again?" When the old lady's unclear voice rang out, the whole paper house shook.
Yueya put her hand on the little paper man's shoulder and encouraged him: "Tell grandma your wish, louder."
The little paper man was a little nervous, but the desire in his heart had already taken root and sprouted. He clenched his fist and said loudly: "Grandma, I want to pick oranges!"
These words were like a spell. The huge eyes guarding outside the door suddenly widened, and the pupils expanded, occupying the position of the whites of the eyes.
"No! You can't pick oranges!" the old lady roared excitedly, and the paper house shook again.
"If she gets any more excited, the house will collapse and we might be crushed to pieces." The little bear looked at the roof beams worriedly. If her skill had not been cooled down, she could have simply trapped the old lady in a cage and been done with it.
The little paper man was also forced to retreat by the yelling, but Yue Ya held his shoulders and he could not escape.
Yue Ya quietly looked at the eyes outside the door and said word by word: "If you had accompanied him to pick oranges that day, the ending might have been different. Now if you were to do it again, are you sure you want to keep him trapped at home?"
The eyeballs at the door kept trembling because of these words, and the amplitude of the vibration of the paper house became even greater.
"Grandma, I want to go out and play. I want to pick oranges. Can you go with me? As long as you promise me, this time... this time..." The little paper man cried and said, "I will definitely be obedient this time."
The little paper figurine cried bitterly, and the old lady also started crying. She thought it through and compromised: "Grandma just felt that the back mountain was dangerous and didn't want you to get hurt. Grandma really didn't expect something like that to happen... Grandma promised you that she would go pick oranges with you. Can you forgive grandma?"
Big tears welled up from her eyes and poured into the room like a flood. Several little paper figures retreated frantically, fearing that they would be drowned by the tears.
The little bear jumped up and down anxiously: "Grandma, calm down. If we don't get the oranges soon, we will be drowned by your tears first."
The old lady forced herself to stop crying, moved her huge eyes away, and stretched out an old hand to the door: "Come out."
[Hiss, from the anchor’s perspective, this really is a giant’s palm. Just one finger can crush them to death.]
[The host starts with the obsession of an old lady and her grandson, and can easily pass the level without using violent means]
[How does the anchor plan to restore Xiaofeng's body?]
After leaving the paper house, their bodies should return to their normal size. Yue Ya wants the little paper man to return Xiao Feng's body before that. He took out the butterfly puppet and handed it to the little paper man, coaxing him softly: "Don't you want this little puppet very much? Why don't you get inside the puppet and go pick oranges with grandma?"
The butterfly doll is much cuter than Xiaofeng. The little paper doll left Xiaofeng's body without hesitation and crawled in.
Xiaofeng's paper figure swayed from side to side, and was held down by the bear's hands. The black eyeballs moved, and Xiaofeng's soul slowly woke up. When he saw the bear's red paper cheeks, he was startled.
Little Bear covered his mouth and said, "Don't scream. Look carefully, I am Little Bear. We are here to rescue you."
Xiaofeng saw Yueya behind her and nodded obediently.
Several people followed the old lady's finger and crawled out of the paper house. When they were placed on the grass, their bodies returned to normal. If Yue Ya hadn't reacted quickly, they would have almost collided with Xiao Feng.
Feifei also turned back into his furry appearance and jumped into Yueya's arms immediately.
Yue Ya looked around and saw the house with the butterfly stickers on it was nearby. Most of the roof of the house had collapsed, and it was covered with dust and spider webs, and mostly invaded by weeds. It was completely different from what it looked like before.
He stood in front of a grave with a photo of an old grandmother embedded on the tombstone. She died in an uneasy manner, with a gloomy expression and the corners of her mouth drooping.
The old lady herself was standing near the grave, but she had a relieved smile on her face, completely different from her state of being in the dark. A colorful butterfly was circling around her, blooming freely.
"I'm going to pick oranges with my grandson. Thank you for waking me up. I should say thank you and also say sorry... There's no use saying anything. Aren't you going to look for the little girl? That house is her home." The old lady pointed to a dilapidated little house with two stone sculptures of severed heads standing at the door, giving it a spooky look.
"I didn't lie to you this time, so go ahead and don't worry. Tell her that you gave the doll to my grandson, and she won't blame you. Leave immediately after you finish talking about this. She later went back to the city with Lin Ao, and she was very unhappy. She later hid back here, and her temperament changed drastically. I didn't dare to talk to her much..."
The old lady no longer had any obsession, so there was no need to lie to them. Yueya nodded and said to the old lady with a smile: "Grandma, please give us a few more words of advice."
The old lady thought for a moment and said: "The little girl seems to have been looking for a watch. If you can help her with this, maybe you can leave the village."
It was that cheap broken watch I found in the watch shop!
Little Bear patted Xiao Feng's shoulder excitedly and said, "Brother, you are so smart. You put the watch in your backpack. This saves us a lot of trouble!"
Xiao Feng nodded and said, "Brother is always very meticulous in what he does."
"I'm leaving now, so I'll give this to you. Maybe you can use it." The old lady took off a jade ring from her hand and handed it to Yue Ya: "This is an heirloom from my family. Wear it on your hand."
Yue Ya took the jade ring. It had a good luster and a strong evil aura but it was not aggressive to him. It was definitely not an ordinary item.
The ring fits Yueya perfectly on her little finger. The green ring sets off her beautiful finger, making it look gentle and graceful.
[As expected of a Pixiu, the NPC took the initiative to give him props, and they were his favorite jade props]
[If you beat the game by force, there probably won’t be such a reward. The old lady must be grateful to him for helping her resolve her obsession, so she was so generous... But if it were me, I would also want to give him a gift! I want to see him use the things I gave him, it would be super satisfying~]
[By the way, when Yuezai turned into a little paper man, he was quite cute. Even the corners were preserved. I really want to steal him home and raise him!]
[Speaking of the corners, the host didn’t hide them on purpose this time. Although a large part of them were blocked by his hair, they were still clearly visible from a close distance. However, Xiaofeng and Xiaoxiong didn’t ask him why. Aren’t they curious?]
[After all, we are not new here, and we have seen a lot of new things, so we can control our curiosity.]
[Maybe he was afraid of being beaten by Yuezai, so he didn’t dare to test it.]
The old lady left with her grandson who turned into a butterfly. Yue Ya looked at the old lady's tombstone, and the gloom on her face disappeared, replaced by a kind smile.
The alarm was lifted, and Xiao Feng was belatedly scared: "I almost died again this time. Thank you for not giving up on me."
Little Bear held him down and frowned: "What happened to you? We fell into the painting together, and you were swapped out for no apparent reason."
Xiao Feng shook his head, his face pale. “After I opened the door of the jewelry store, I fell near here, and then I was attacked by that old lady, and then I was taken into the paper house, and then I lost consciousness.”
Little Bear: "It wasn't easy for you either. You had a near-death experience."
Yue Ya twirled the ring and looked towards Little Butterfly's house: "Let's go, let's go meet this extraordinary... girl."
After such a long journey on the side quest, he couldn't wait to return to the main quest.
Arriving at Little Butterfly's door, Yueya knocked politely: "Is anyone home?"
There was no response from the room, but a cold voice sounded behind him.
"Who are you?"
The three of them turned around at the same time and saw a woman in a white dress standing in the middle of the road. She lowered her head, her long hair fluttering in the wind, revealing only a sharp pale chin, with blood dripping slowly down her chin. Not only was her dress covered with mottled bloodstains, but the woman was also holding a knife dripping with blood in her hand.
I don't know when a white flag appeared on the bamboo by the roadside. When the cold wind blew, the woman's skirt danced with the bamboo leaves and weeds. This scene overlapped with the scene that appeared in the painting at the door of Yinjian Jewelry.
The little butterfly appeared.
