Bai Xing's mouth twitched slightly after reading the information on the game panel. Just the name of this dungeon and the background story... How terrifying! Even with the mermaids' lamentations, the people were still simple and honest?
After the fifteenth person appeared, everyone waited for a while, and no one else showed up, so they realized that this copy was for fifteen people.
At this time, a fisherman discovered them, and immediately came over with a smile on his face and shouted loudly.
"Everyone come quickly, guests are coming!" The fisherman called out with a smile on his face. When the nearby villagers heard it, they came out and greeted them warmly.
"Oh, it's been a while since we've had so many guests."
There were also a few middle-aged ladies who were discussing with a smile: "These guys are so handsome!" The players who were mentioned by them blushed.
"The village chief is here!"
Amidst the chaotic chatter, the players felt uncomfortable. Finally, the village chief arrived late and the villagers made way for him.
The village chief was quite old. He walked slowly to the players with a cane, pushed his reading glasses, and welcomed them with a smile.
The village chief took them to visit the village. Bai Xing mingled with the crowd, with a low sense of presence, and quietly observed the village.
The village is quite old, with only wooden houses. There are many salted fish drying outside the houses, and the village is filled with a strong fishy smell. It is not until we reach the ancestral hall that the smell gets a little better. The ancestral hall is on a high place in the middle of the village. It is called an ancestral hall, but in fact it is just a statue of the sea god, and a simple mud house is built to cover the statue.
The statue faces the sea. The face of the sea god is solemn, with a slight smile and a hint of compassion in his expression. He is gazing at the sea, as if looking at the fishing boats going out to sea.
The villagers like to pray here, believing that this will ensure the safe return of the fishermen who go out to sea.
The players seemed to be infected by this harmonious atmosphere, and their brows and eyes were unconsciously filled with relaxed smiles.
There are still a few players who are skeptical, but so far, the villagers have behaved normally.
It was noon when they arrived. The village chief took them to the small square in the village. It was called a small square, but in fact it was just an open space paved with some stone slabs.
The villagers enthusiastically brought tables and chairs, and each family took out some fish and rice to prepare a sumptuous seafood feast for them.
The fish meat is white, tender and smooth, and the rice has a light fragrance. There are also some other seafood, steamed stone crabs, stir-fried shellfish and so on. Bai Xing can't even name some of the seafood, which may be local specialties. Because they fish all year round, the seafood they cook is very fragrant, with good color, aroma and taste. You will drool just by smelling it.
Under the enthusiastic urging of the villagers, some players could not wait to start enjoying the food, and they were very enthusiastic about toasting each other.
The player opposite Bai Xing asked her why she didn't eat. Bai Xing smiled and said that she was allergic to seafood. Then she took out the food she had prepared in advance and ate it slowly. The other party was stunned for a moment and looked at her with disdain, as if to say that she was the only smart one with so many things to do. When a fisherman came to persuade her, she shook her head and refused.
Some players were hesitant at first, but after seeing her like this, they also hesitated and put down their food. However, other players scoffed at this, saying that they had already eaten for a long time and if it was poisonous, they would have been poisoned to death long ago.
Seeing this, the villagers did not try to persuade them, but continued to chat with the players.
The guests and hosts had a great time at the meal. After the meal, the players were invited by the villagers and, under the coordination of the village chief, stayed in the homes of different fishermen.
Bai Xing was also invited to the home of a warm-hearted village woman.
"Sister, can you take a look at this room?" The aunt enthusiastically took Bai Xing to the side room. Although the bed was simple, it was clean and tidy. The room was also tidy and every place was clean. It can be seen that the aunt is a hardworking person.
Bai Xing smiled and said softly, "Thank you, Auntie."
The auntie's eyes narrowed in a smile: "Oh, you are so polite. Auntie likes girls like you who look well-behaved and smart. It's a pity that we have a few bad boys in our family. It's annoying to see them."
Bai Xing smiled and looked around the house after seeing the aunt off. The windows were clean and spotless.
At this time, there was a knock on the door and a head poked in. It was a player who lived next door named Yu Chuan. He was very outgoing and talkative. He came over to visit Bai Xing.
A question mark appeared on Bai Xing's head. Yu Chuan showed his big white teeth, and it seemed as if there was a dog's tail spinning in a circle behind him.
"Xiaobai, your place is very clean, cleaner than my room." Yu Chuan wandered around in this small room. He had just sat next to Bai Xing for lunch. He kept chattering with Bai Xing without eating. He was more talkative than the villagers and only chatted with Bai Xing. The villagers tried to interrupt their one-sided conversation several times, but they couldn't get a word in. In the end, they ignored them both out of embarrassment.
"Oh, you two are here?" The auntie came into the house with a plate of dried fish in her hand. "I see that you two didn't eat much at noon. Have some of the dried fish I made."
Yu Chuan wagged his tail and walked over, taking the plate from the aunt's hand and placing it on the table. He helped the aunt sit down beside the bed. He was sweet and talkative, coaxing the aunt into a good mood, asking her questions incessantly. In the end, the aunt was still dazed when she left, and only realized it after she left the door. Something's wrong, what is she doing here?
Bai Xing sat on the chair, smiling and agreeing from time to time, while looking at them with a smile, but her eyes were very clear, without any smile.
Yu Chuan seems to be a thoughtless person, but you can't judge a person by appearances. Look, he didn't get anything to eat, right?
Bai Xing exchanged a few perfunctory words with him before going off to take on quests. As she walked through the village, she saw other players communicating with the villagers, asking if they needed help.
She walked to the beach and saw a little girl sitting on the rocks, holding a rag doll in her arms. She had a conflicted look on her face, as if she was saying "help me, help me".
Bai Xing walked over with a smile and asked softly, "What's your name, little friend?"
The little girl was startled by Bai Xing's sudden appearance, but looking at her gentle and kind smile, she whispered, "My name is Xiaoxiao."
"Oh, Xiaoxiao, what a nice name." Bai Xing touched Xiaoxiao's head. Xiaoxiao was still a child after all. She smiled happily when she heard others praising her.
"Then why are you playing here alone?" Bai Xing asked her with a smile. Hearing this, the little girl showed a conflicted expression on her face again and looked at the rag doll in her arms.
"I," she seemed a little embarrassed to speak, and looking at Bai Xing's encouraging smile, she continued, "I had a conflict with my good friend Ah Qi, and I wanted to give her this doll as a gift, but I was embarrassed to go alone." After saying that, she looked at Bai Xing with wet eyes, as if expecting something.
Bai Xing didn't let her down and smiled: "How about I help you deliver the doll over? If she forgives you, I'll let her come here to watch the sea with you, okay?"
Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up and she immediately responded happily: "Okay!"
