Chapter 96 Untitled 5
Zihua smiled lightly, and replied: "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you something."

When the woman heard that she wanted to ask something, she quickly opened the bamboo door, motioned her to enter the house and said, "It's so hot today, and the sun is so poisonous, why don't we go in and talk! It's just enough to drink a well water, and the well water in my house is sweet. gone."

Zihua responded, looked up at the green hills on the left that blocked the scorching sun, her lips were slightly stiff, and followed her into the hut.

As soon as she was seated, she took the teacup from the woman's hand, and after enjoying the sweetness that soothed her throat, she got straight to the point.

"Actually, the next time I came here, I wanted to ask the girl about one thing. That is, the people who helped you escape from the villain yesterday. Where are they now? Or did you say where you are going? Which direction are you going?"

Zihua thought that the woman would answer these questions to her soon, after all, this is not something worth hiding.

But she made a mistake. The smiling woman in front of her was able to live alone when there was a famine in Kuangli City. She was a shrewd person no matter what, and would prioritize gains and losses in everything.

It was as if she was relying on bartering with others to get enough food to support her normal life here.

So when she rolled her eyes about Zihua's questions, she wanted to negotiate terms with her.

"I want to tell you that the martyr who helped me yesterday can live anywhere, but I also have a favor and need your help."

Did not expect to meet a fine.

Zihua raised his eyebrows, "I would like to hear the details."

"Actually, it's not a difficult task, just help me catch a thief, a thief who comes every night."

"Have you seen what the thief looks like? If I know what his figure is, I can make a detailed plan to catch the thief."

The woman shook her head, "No, I didn't see it once, but every time I woke up, the thief disappeared, and all the leftovers that I wanted to save for tomorrow at home disappeared, and the ground was very dirty again."

It turned out to be stealing food. No wonder, she had just thought that this woman didn't want to tell the whereabouts of the "formation" and deliberately lied to her.

If it was to steal food, it would make sense. After all, there had been a famine here recently, and the house was so dilapidated, there was really nothing to steal.

Zihua agreed to the woman's condition, and after the sun went down, she took a nap in the kitchen where she put the food.

In the dead of night, there has been no rain in Hejia Village for half a year. After the famine in Kuangli City, many villagers moved to Changhuang City. At this moment, there are only four families living in this area of ​​ten miles around.

This girl has been living with her grandmother since she was young because her father lost her father and her mother remarried. It’s just that her grandmother was seriously ill the year before last and couldn’t make it through. , living alone for more than a year.

So now she has fallen asleep, only Zihua is active, and the room is even quieter.

It was so quiet that she could hear the woman's snoring, and the two rooms were only separated by a wall, so it was not very soundproof.

The night was quiet, except for the snoring, it was the chirping of unknown insects, which were sometimes loud and sometimes small.

The moonlight seems to be very bright tonight, coming in through the bamboo window sill, the light is still undiminished, and the stove is brightly illuminated.

Zihua sat in the corner, listening to the sound of insects, followed the faint sound, and suddenly recalled a horror game he had played, in which there was also the sound of insects, what is the name of the forest, anyway, the protagonist is walking alone in the forest On the night road, and looking for some target, if you turn around, you will see a human face following you.

She was just thinking about what that face looked like, when a green light suddenly burst out in front of the window, and her heart skipped a beat.

After she calmed down, she saw that the green light had not moved, and when she got closer, she realized that it was the broken system, and it seemed to be dormant.

This is strange, after a good rest, why suddenly burst out of the air.

She held her chin with one hand and gave up after thinking for a while. Instead of covering 0718 with a piece of cloth, she just let it be exposed in the air, thinking it was something used to scare thieves.

Whatever she was thinking about, as soon as she moved her eyes from the system to the kitchen door, the door began to shake. Someone was opening the door.

She quickly stepped behind the door, thinking that she would catch him alive the moment he opened the door.

However, she stood vigilant behind the door for a long time, but the other party failed to open the door.

It's really rare to see a thief with such cunning skills, and besides, he's a habitual offender.

She couldn't help but wonder how deeply the woman who lived here slept, and she didn't notice him like this. After thinking about it, she realized that the woman's purring stopped.

At the same time, the kitchen door was finally opened.

Zihua stood well behind the opened door and was not noticed.She moved her steps a little, quietly, intending to catch the thief from behind.

It's just that when she saw the thief's back, she froze for a moment, feeling that something was wrong.

The hair of the person in front of him was loose, and he only wore a white undershirt. From his thin and short figure, it was not difficult to see that she was a woman.

Just as he was thinking, the man had skillfully lifted the lid of the pot and picked up the food inside.

Judging from the sound, she should be eating at the moment.

He started eating the stolen goods as soon as he got them. This thief was really courageous.

She stretched out her long arms and put them on her shoulders, thinking that she would look back at her, but who knew she was still standing where she was eating.

It's too weird and too abnormal.

Zihua took a step forward, took her hand holding the bowl, and revealed her face buried in the bowl.

Seeing that face, she was a little confused, isn't this the woman?
"Uh, Miss He, what's wrong with you? Are you too hungry and you came out for a late-night snack? But aren't you going to catch a thief tonight?"

She threw the questions in her mind to her one by one.

It's just that the woman didn't respond to her words, and was still eating on her own.

She folded her hands feeling something was wrong, and stood in front of her and stared at her.

I saw that she didn't seem to notice her existence at all, her eyes were dull, but her hands kept moving, and she kept pulling the vegetables into her mouth.

She couldn't help stretching out five fingers and shaking them in front of her eyes.

It's still a dull gaze and mechanical movements.

Seeing her like this, Zihua suddenly thought of a word - sleepwalking.

Facts proved her guess. After the woman ate up all the leftovers in the bowl, she turned around leisurely, and then walked slowly towards her room like a normal person.

The moonlight is still outside the window.

Zihua couldn't help sighing, it's really a thief calling for a thief, the woman always thought it was a thief in her house, but she didn't expect that she ate all the food by herself.

The truth has been found out, she sat down in the corner of the kitchen with peace of mind, and closed her eyes wearily.

The next day, she was woken up by a rooster crowing accompanied by screams.

Before she opened her eyes, she heard a woman's panicked voice.

"Master Xiao, are you alright?"
