Xiao He seemed dumbfounded by Xu Shu's question, and after a while he said blankly, "I went to the latrine, are you here to look for me?"

Xu Shu glanced at Ji Chuan and said with a smile, "No, it's just that we were going to go and didn't see you after getting up, so I asked because I was a little worried."

She smiled and said sweetly: "Thank you, you are so kind, even better than my father to me!"

"There's nothing to be thankful for." Xu Shu stepped aside to get out of the way, "Go to bed first, we have to go to the latrine too."

The two walked out of the door and walked towards the hut. After the distance was far enough, Xu Shu lowered his voice and said, "Do you believe what she said?"

Ji Chuan faintly spit out two words: "Fake."

"Obviously, she is the breakthrough point of this game." Xu Shu said in a low voice: "She was there before, I didn't dare to ask—how did you meet her?"

Ji Chuan said: "By the river, she was eating. When I passed by, she begged me to bring her along."

Xu Shu asked: "Do you still remember what she ate at that time... what it looked like? How much did she eat and how much is left?"

Ji Chuan glanced at him, and said lightly, "Half of the sole of the foot has been eaten off."

"That's weird." Xu Shu looked towards Zhang Mao and Yang Rui's room, "She's eaten half of the food in her hand, she should have been there for a long time. But Zhang Mao came here in front of you Yes, looking at him, it seems that he has never seen her before."

In fact, even if there is no such doubt, Xiao He is very suspicious.

She said she was afraid that other people would eat her, so why did she ask Ji Chuan to take her with her?

It's fine if it's someone else, maybe because she saw that these players' bodies were normal and didn't look like they were starving, so she begged them to take her with them.

But it was Ji Chuan she was begging for... Although he was pretty good-looking, the words "Get out of my way" were written all over his body. How could a normal child dare to go up to him and beg him?

So from the very beginning, Xiaohe's appearance was full of weirdness.

And the reason why she wants to act pitifully and follow the players is probably because she is a way of life set up by the system for the players.

After all, not everyone is willing to eat dead human flesh.

Even if they really survived by eating human flesh and drinking dirty water, after finishing this game and going out, they will probably become lunatics.

Although the copy of this paradise game is very cruel, it does not completely leave no way for players to survive.

Xu Shu was almost certain that what they had to do now was to find clues from Xiao He.

He thought for a while and said, "Shall we go to Xiaohe's house to look for it tomorrow?"

Ji Chuan nodded, turned around and walked back.

When the two of them returned, Xiao He had fallen asleep, at least on the surface.

Xu Shu hesitated for a while looking at the position of the bed, and finally lay down on it.

Fortunately, Ji Chuan also fell asleep quickly, and nothing happened in the second half of the night.

The next day, Xu Shu woke up from starvation.

His mouth was dry and bitter, and the skin of his mouth was dry, and his stomach kept making gurgling noises.

There was really no way, he could only go to the kitchen to find a bowl, and scooped up a bowl of water that he got together with Yuan Guang yesterday.

To his surprise, the half bucket of water cleared up after being left overnight, and all the sand inside was deposited at the bottom.

Although there is still a bit of a strange taste, at least it is drinkable.

He brought Xiaohe half a bowl back to the room, and when she was drinking water, he said: "Xiaohe, we will go out today to find out if there is any food nearby, so don't follow, stay here and lock the door and wait for us." Just come back."

Xiao He's palm-sized face was almost covered by the bowl, and when she finished drinking and put down the bowl, Xu Shu saw the hurt emotion on her face.

She looked up at him with a sad and unbelievable expression, and after a while she said, "Brother Xu, don't you want Xiaohe? Are you trying to trick me into staying here, and then you guys leave secretly?"

Xu Shu froze for a moment, wondering why she thought of this.

He took the empty bowl from her hand and said with a smile: "Of course not, we really want to find something to eat. You can stay at ease, I can assure you, whether we find something to eat or not, we will definitely come back But you also have to promise that you can't run around casually, just stay here and wait for us obediently, okay?"

"Really?" Xiaohe looked a little unbelievable, she thought for a while, stretched out her finger and said, "Then let's pull the hook, you must not lie to me."

Xu Shuxin said, why lie to you, I was afraid that you would sneak away by yourself.

If it wasn't for the convenience of going to her house to search, Xu Shu would not have taken the risk of leaving her here alone.

After agreeing with Xiao He, Xu Shu went to find Ji Chuan—

—He also went to the kitchen to drink water just now.

But just as he walked into the yard, the door to the room on the left was hastily opened with a bang.

Xu Shu looked around, and saw Yang Rui standing at the door, looking left and right, and then asked him, "Did you see Zhang Mao?"

He froze for a moment: "No."

"Last night, we agreed to look for clues together today. Could it be that he left by himself?"

Yang Rui frowned, thought for a while, and then yelled Zhang Mao's name twice.

If a person were in this house, no matter where he was, he would definitely hear it.

But the other party didn't respond. Instead, Yuan Guang and Yu Yao from the next room were called out.

They got up late and were still arranging their clothes when they came out.

Ji Chuan also came out of the kitchen, and asked Xu Shu what happened with his eyes.

Xu Shu shook his head and said silently, "Let's go."

So Ji Chuan walked out of the gate with him, and walked straight to Xiaohe's house.

As for Zhang Mao, he might be so hungry that he secretly went to find something to eat by himself.

Or maybe—he was dead.

Regardless of whether he is dead or alive, the most important thing now is to find clues to clear the level.

The two of them didn't speak along the way, they arrived at Xiaohe's house as quickly as possible in silence.

Her house is in an alley in the middle of the town. There are no shops facing the street. It is a small house with two bedrooms, a stove room, a pigsty and a small yard.

An osmanthus tree and vegetables were planted in the yard, and there was a chicken coop in one corner.

If it's peacetime, this look is a great place for leisurely living.

But now, the gate is broken, the chicken pen is down, the pig pen is empty, and there are only some weeds growing on the vegetable patch.

After entering the gate and walking through the courtyard, you will be facing a large open main room, with the two bedrooms on the left and the right respectively.

The furnishings in the main room are simple, only tables, chairs and some sundries.

The bedroom on the left should be for adults. There is a big bed and a dressing table with a small bronze mirror on it.

Xu Shu looked for it, and saw that there were rouge, gouache and simple copper jewelry in the drawer.

There are several pieces of clothing stacked in the cabinet, including men and women, and most of the women's clothes are bright colors.

The family seemed to live fairly well before, otherwise the hostess would not have the energy to dress herself up like this.

"Avalokitesvara?"

Ji Chuan's voice suddenly came from behind.

Xu Shu closed the cabinet and looked back, and saw that he was standing next to the cabinet in the inner side of the room.

He opened the wooden cabinet, revealing a statue of Guanyin inside.

It was a statue of Avalokitesvara made of ceramics, but this Avalokitesvara was not holding a jade bottle, but a child in a red bellyband.

"Songzi Guanyin." Xu Shu said helplessly, "Xiaohe's parents value sons over daughters. She also said it last night."

Probably in order to ask for a son, so I invited a son-sending Guanyin to come back and enshrine it.

After giving birth to a son, it is impossible to throw away the Guanyin statue, so naturally it has been placed at home.

But...the people in this town really have a very serious patriarchal phenomenon.

When they searched house by house yesterday, at least five or six families saw Songzi Guanyin in the main room.

Maybe this is just because most of the ancient people wanted sons, but they also had to take this matter to heart first, maybe it is also a clue?

The two searched this room again, but found nothing, so they went to the next room instead.

According to Xiaohe, her younger brother used to sleep in this room, but she moved here after his brother died.

And when Xu Shu opened the cabinet in that room... he didn't see even a single piece of the girl's clothes.

To be precise, it is clothing that does not have a child's stature at all, regardless of gender.

There is only a quilt stacked here, and some thicker clothes. The clothes are very large, obviously the size that adults can only wear.

Xiaohe said that her brother died of illness, and the townspeople thought he had the plague, so her parents burned all his clothes.

That made sense, but what about her stuff?

No matter how patriarchal her parents are, at least there must be a change of clothes, right?

But this place doesn't look like a little girl's life at all.

Xu Shu pondered for a moment, then turned around and went to the pigsty.

It was not clean inside, and although it had been vacant for a long time, there were lumps of pig manure on the ground.

If there used to be pigs here, did Xiaohe's parents let her sleep with the pigs?

Don't you think she will be stained with disgusting feces?

Seeing that the family's rooms are tidy, and the hostess is also very beautiful, it is unlikely that her daughter will be covered in pig manure, right?

So... Is what Xiao He said a lie?

Xu Shu thought for a while, turned back to the main room, and said, "I don't think this place may be Xiaohe's house at all, she is lying to us."

Ji Chuan came out with a blue book in his hand and threw it at him.

Xu Shu raised his hand to catch it, and saw the word "Genealogy" written on the cover of the book.

He directly turned back to the last page with handwriting, and then he was taken aback.

The male owner of this family is Li Dazhu, and he married a wife named Yang Xiaocui.

Among the heirs of the two of them, there is only one "eldest son Li Changsheng", with the birth date written on the back.

There is no eldest daughter—not even another child besides Li Changsheng.

Xiao He was indeed lying.
