Lu Li spoke in a hurry, but his actions were another matter.

After leaving the date garden, he did not immediately rush to the village chief's house in the south of the village.

Instead, he strolled leisurely in the village.

Whenever he walked to a deserted place, black fog would spread out around him and condense into a human shape.

After a moment, it disappeared without a trace again.

It was not until he received the message from Alyssa and Pan Xiaoxiao on the data panel that the young man quickened his pace and walked towards the south of the village.

South of Luofu Village.

The village chief's house.

"You said it was Niu Erdan who asked you to come here? But where is Niu Erdan? Why didn't he personally bring you here?"

An old man with yellow skin and a mustache squinted at Alyssa and the other two girls and spoke with suspicion.

"Oh, Mr. Erdan was going to bring us here himself, but he was stopped on the way by a man who claimed to be Dr. Jia, who said he had something to discuss with him."

"Mr. Erdan was busy, so he had to show us the way and asked us to come first."

Hearing this, the village chief showed a trace of annoyance on his face, and cursed in a low voice:

"This Jia Jishi is really crazy. He even set his sights on the unmarried Conch Girl!"

Alyssa and Pan Xiaoxiao pretended to be confused and asked:

"Village Chief, what did you just say?"

"Oh, nothing..." The village chief raised his head and put on a polite smile:

"Doctor Jia is the village doctor of our Luofu Village. Maybe he wants to see Niu Erdan for something important. It's okay."

"Anyway, we're treating you guys, it doesn't matter if Erdan comes over or not. Oh, by the way, would you like some dates?"

As he spoke, the village chief already had a handful of dates in his hand.

The body is plump and the skin is shiny.

When people see it, they can't help but want to grab it and swallow it whole.

But Alyssa and Pan Xiaoxiao looked stern, with vigilance in their eyes.

"We had already eaten it when we first entered the village."

"It was given to us by a villager named Zhu Sanmao, and it tastes amazing!"

Alyssa evaded the question with a smile.

The village chief raised his eyebrows:

"Oh? Zhu Sanmao gave it to you? That's right, after all, he is the one who takes care of the date garden on a daily basis."

"You two are really lucky. His dates are much more delicious than mine."

Alyssa smiled apologetically when she heard that, looking well behaved.

However, just when she thought she had successfully gotten away with it, the village chief's expression suddenly changed and became gloomy:

"But since you have already eaten dates, why don't you take mine?"

"The dates from Luofu Village are big and juicy, and sweeter than icing sugar! Anyone who has tasted them will never refuse to eat them again!"

"You rejected me, is it because you have never eaten it and are lying to me?!"

Alyssa was so frightened by this sudden change that she stumbled back and almost took out her shield reflexively.

Fortunately, Pan Xiaoxiao spoke out in time to help:

"Of course we want it, but my classmate is shy and feels embarrassed to eat and take it."

As he was speaking, Pan Xiaoxiao had already rushed to take the dates from the village chief's hand:

"Since the village chief has said so much, it would be disrespectful for us to refuse."

"Haha, why are you being so polite to me?" The gloomy look on the village chief's face disappeared, and he said with a smile:

"The people in our Luofu Village are honest and simple-minded. They are very straightforward. Eat, eat."

Having said this, he paused for a moment.

But he still showed no intention of turning around.

A pair of eyes stared at the dates in Pan Xiaoxiao's hand.

Judging from the look of it, he wants to see the other person eat it with his own eyes.

"After we finish eating, I will take you to see my snail lady and satisfy your curiosity."

Pan Xiaoxiao is in a dilemma.

He wanted to help Alyssa out of the predicament, but unexpectedly put himself on the fire.

If you don't eat it, you will definitely anger the village chief.

The villagers who gathered around them would force them to eat a lot of dates;

But if you eat,

According to the rules, you must go to the north of the village and seek treatment from the village doctor.

I have to collect clues related to the snail woman right now, so I don't think I will be able to spare the time in the short term.

Although, the guide does not record the serious consequences of eating dates.

But if it drags on for so long, the outcome probably won’t be any good.

What should we do?

Pan Xiaoxiao was in a dilemma.

Just at this moment, a familiar shout came from a distance.

"Hey, see you again!"

The two girls and the village chief turned their heads and saw a thin young man jogging towards them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pan Xiaoxiao naturally put down the dates.

"You must be the head of Luofu Village. Hello, my name is Guangguai, and I'm the new date merchant."

Lu Li changed his usual indifferent attitude and started chatting with the village chief very enthusiastically.

"A new date merchant?" The village chief was stunned:

"I haven't heard of them before... Are you familiar with them?"

Lu Li nodded, then shook his head:

"It's normal that the village chief hasn't heard of it. The incident happened suddenly and I just took office."

"As for the two of them, I just ran into them at the entrance of the village. We are strangers at first sight, but we are familiar with each other after a while. So we can be considered acquaintances."

"At that time, villager Zhu Sanmao even gave us dates to eat, right?"

As he spoke, the young man looked at Alyssa and the other two girls.

The latter two smiled again and nodded repeatedly.

Lu Li's seemingly casual words solved the two girls' urgent problem.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely not worry too much about whether he had eaten the dates or not.

But the village chief was suspicious and still insisted:

"Since we all know each other, there's no need to be polite."

"Eat quickly, eat quickly. If it's not enough, I have more in my room."

After saying that, he stared at the three people again without saying a word.

Lu Li frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the village chief, Old Deng, would be so difficult to deal with.

It was obvious that he was the easiest to fool when he passed the [Conch Girl] level in the previous life.

Why has it become so difficult now that I’ve lived my life again?

Is it because he joined in the middle?

The young man's mind was in a mess, but his hand had already reached out to the dates in Pan Xiaoxiao's hand.

You have to act.

If the village chief was about to watch them eat the dates with his own eyes, he would have to take the risk.

Fortunately, eating dates does not trigger immediate death.

It will just make the player's consciousness gradually blur within a limited time.

At worst, I can just hurry up and finish collecting clues at the village chief's house.

Go to the village doctor in the north of the village as soon as possible to seek help.

But just when Lu Li's fingertips were about to touch the dates, Pan Xiaoxiao did something that surprised him.

The woman suddenly stuffed the dates into her mouth!

He swallowed it whole without even having time to chew it.

In a short while, the dates given by the village chief disappeared and were all eaten by her.

"Hurp~~~The dates from Conch Village are so delicious. I'm sorry that I can't bear to share them with others..."

While speaking, Pan Xiaoxiao puffed out her cheeks, looking like a greedy girl.
