Sick beauty loses horse in thriller game

"Shuhu, are you there?"

Jiang Lai shouted loudly.

She shouted loudly, quickening her pace and walking towards the Yujin tree.

Unfortunately, after she shouted for a long time, there was only dead silence around her.

She got no response at all.

Jiang Lai frowned, and the uneasiness in her heart became more and more serious. She no longer cared about holding back and teleported directly to the Yujin tree, the place where she last saw Shu Hu.

Unexpectedly, she only saw a white skeleton appearing on the ground!

It's the mother of the lake.

After she and Fu Qiming dug up Cheng Mujun's body and took the Stone of Life, the elderly Shuhu mother died.

Just as Jiang Lai was looking at the remains left by Shu Hu, feeling deeply remorseful and preparing to dig a hole to bury it properly, bursts of noises suddenly came from the depths of the pond in the cave!

Soon, a series of bubbles emerged from the depths of the pond, creating ripples.

Jiang Lai frowned and cautiously took two steps back.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared under the water in front of him.

A dark object emerged from beneath the water.

That thing has a very strange appearance.

It has a long, mermaid-like tail, webbed feet for paddling, and its skin looks smooth and shiny. It is clearly an aquatic creature, but it has a face that looks somewhat similar to a human, and its body looks... a lot like a horse!

What's even more strange is that behind that guy there is a pair of small, featherless fleshy wings that have severely degenerated.

The pair of wings were obviously degenerate, and combined with the animal's body, which was the size of a normal adult horse, it looked extremely discordant. It could even be said that it looked a bit funny.

Looking at the many characteristics of that strange creature, Jiang Lai thought about it and knew its identity.

"Are you the little Shuhu? How did this place become like this? How did you... become like this? How did you get out of the water?"

The magpie is an animal that loves the sky and chases flying, and it is absolutely impossible for it to live in the water.

I'm afraid the only reasonable explanation for why the little Shuhu became like that is that when the accident happened here, the little Shuhu was pushed underwater by its mother, forcing it to hide underwater and never come out.

However, the murderer who killed Shu Hu had the ability to change the flow of time in the small world.

So, when that guy used that method, not only the time of the small world was changed, but even the young Xiao Shuhu also underwent some changes.

This change not only made the little Shuhu's body grow from a baby to an adult within one day, but also forced its body to change as it hid under the water in a hurry.

Its wings degenerated, its two hind legs disappeared, its forelimbs grew webbed feet for paddling, and its tail became thick and slender, even longer than a mermaid's long tail.

All of its changes are to make its body more adaptable to the living environment in the water.

In order to avoid bad guys, it should be able to stay submerged for a long time underwater.

The little Shuhu also seemed to recognize Jiang Lai.

It was like a little seal, waving its front legs and crawling towards Jiang Lai. After getting close to Jiang Lai, it opened its mouth, spit out something from its mouth, and placed the thing in front of Jiang Lai.

It was a small, Republic of China style pearl button.

The buttons are made of pearls and light pink silk threads, and look very much like those on little girls' clothes.

Jiang Lai remembered that in the image recorded by the white curtain that had become a spirit, Xin'er seemed to have worn a dress with similar buttons.

Jiang Lai walked forward, picked up the thing, and immediately received a prompt from the system.

[Xuan Ji's Button] Description: One of Xuan Ji's five items.

A button that was once lost by someone. Of course, maybe it was not lost, but someone took it away and kept it for some purpose.

"Shu Hu, thank you...what happened before...was all our fault. Maybe if we hadn't come here and dug out the body, your mother wouldn't have met with the accident..." Jiang Lai said somewhat sadly.

Shu Hu shook his head, glanced at Jiang Lai indifferently, didn't say much, turned and left.

Perhaps for this poor little creature, under the manipulation of the mastermind, the murder of his mother has become a story that has passed for who knows how long. Even he himself was transformed into this appearance, and who knows how long it has passed.

The pain in its heart was more or less healed by the passage of time.

Jiang Lai sighed, thought for a while, took out some fruits that Shu Hu could eat from the prop bar, and placed them on the shore, where Shu Hu had just left.

Then, she looked at Shu Hu reluctantly and walked out of the cave.

She had just walked halfway and was still some distance away from the exit when she suddenly heard a series of running footsteps coming from the empty cave behind her.

The sound was not loud, but was fragmented and messy, and sounded like a child running.

Thinking of the child, Jiang Lai immediately stopped, turned around and looked into the depths of the cave.

"Xin'er, is that you? I know, it must be you!" She said with great certainty: "That Shuhu is your friend, right? Did you come here specially to see its baby?"

The sound of running footsteps stopped, but no voice answered Jiang Lai's question.

Jiang Lai suddenly thought of something.

Xin'er is a poor, abnormal child and may not be able to answer her.

So she started to walk back and walked towards the place where the footsteps stopped.

"Mom, let me help you!"

The cute little Jixiang was able to communicate with Jiang Lai's thoughts and naturally understood what she wanted to do at this time.

Jiang Lai suddenly felt a pair of slightly cool hands gently caressing her eyes.

She knew that this was Jixiang using his method to help her so that she could see something.

She closed her eyes and felt as if they were covered by a cool and moist feeling. This feeling relieved her fatigue accumulated throughout the day and made her feel extremely comfortable.

When she opened her eyes, she not only found that the light in the cave had become slightly brighter, making her vision clearer, but she also saw a small figure standing not far ahead.
