Taking advantage of the light of the sky and the master not going online in the early morning, Xuan Yu and Jiang Zhu still have some time to go to Xishi Village for further investigation.

When the two of them were hiding last night, they heard some information from the villagers. It seemed that they couldn't go hunting in the mountains recently. For some reason, it just gave them a little buffer.

When the two arrived at Xishi Village, it was dawn and most of the villagers were still resting. Only three or two women were carrying wooden barrels of washing clothes and went slowly to a small stream passing by the village.

Xuanyu and Jiangzhu looked at each other, and the eyes revealed the thoughts rising in their hearts, which coincided with each other. Jiangzhu nodded, indicating that he could give it a try.

Xuan Yu said: "It would be even better if I could get some information from those women."

"Well. It should be easier to start with them."

"Then let's go."

With their goal in mind, the two pretended to be passers-by, descended from the mountain, walked around to the stream, and ran into the women who were sitting by the stream washing their clothes.

The women in Xishi Village seldom meet strangers at the edge of the village, and they are very vigilant for a while, standing up one after another, looking at them.

"Who are you? How did you get here?"

Xuan Yu stepped forward and bowed, and said in a friendly way: "We, brother and sister, have been walking for a long time to find relatives in the border town. We passed by here, and then we saw people, and wanted to ask for some water."

The women still looked at the two of them suspiciously, and whispered to each other again, as if they couldn't believe it completely, and they were quite scrupulous.

One of the women looked at them and said, "You look like a decent family in the city, why did you come to the deep mountains and wild forests alone?"

Jiang Zhu continued to explain: "Our family had an accident, so we had no choice but to escape. Now we have no choice but to seek a little help from distant relatives."

The woman discussed with the others for a while before she reluctantly believed them.She said: "Then you just wait here. Our village is inconvenient, and we can't entertain you anymore. I'll go back and get some food for you."

After the woman finished speaking, she explained a few words to the others, and went back to the village alone.

Although there is no way to go back to the village, it is enough to talk about something from them.

Xuan Yu and Jiang Zhu nodded repeatedly, Xuan Yu said: "That's really great. We won't stay for long, just want to find a place to rest for a while."

Seeing that they didn't want to enter the village, the other women didn't care too much if they were just resting here, so they were relieved and let them stay and sit down here.

Xuan Yu tentatively chatted with them: "How many people are from that village?"

A woman in gray patted her clothes and said, "Yes. Our village has lived here for generations, and there are no outsiders."

"I see. I see that you don't seem to welcome visitors..."

"Hey, there's nothing to mention about this." This was the first time the woman in gray clothes saw people from outside the village, and she couldn't see any difference from them, so she chatted immediately, "There are rules in our village, so it's not good to talk to outsiders. We have contacts."

Xuan Yu glanced at Jiang Zhu, Jiang Zhu also followed and said: "We have been to some places, but this is the first time we have encountered such rules in your village. It is really rare."

Huiyi looked at the others, leaned in front of the two of them, and said softly: "I'll tell you in a low voice, don't talk about it elsewhere."

Xuanyu Jiangzhu nodded together.

Huiyi went on to say: "Our village specializes in a business. It's not easy to publicize this matter. It's fine if your own people know about it. If other people know about it, it might be a big trouble."

Jiang Zhu followed her words and said in amazement: "It turns out that it is like this. There are handicrafts in the village, so it is not easy to spread the word."

"Hey, it's fine if it's just an ordinary craft." Hui Yi said, his voice became even softer, "They, they kept persuading them. Leave the work left by our ancestors and start a business. Oops, it’s a crime to say the least.”

Taking the bait, Xuan Yu saw that the topic turned to what the villagers were doing, and wanted to continue asking. The woman who had returned to the village came back at this time.

When Hui Yi saw the person coming, he shut up and sat down by the stream to wash his clothes again.Xuan Yu looked, and saw that the woman who came back was holding a basket in her hand, and there was a figure following behind her, whimpering.

The two got closer, Xuan Yu saw the figure clearly, it was actually a little boy, about eight or nine years old, he raised his hands, crying while wiping away his tears.

The woman who came back walked up to Xuan Yu and the others, squatted down, took out a bamboo tube of water and a few pieces of dry biscuits from the basket, and handed them to Xuan Yu and Jiang Zhu.

The little boy followed the woman, and when he saw strangers, he didn't cry for a while, but just stared at them with round eyes, feeling surprised.

Xuan Yu pointed to the little boy and asked, "Who is this little brother?"

The woman turned around and pushed the little boy a step forward, hugged his small body and said, "My little son wakes up early in the morning and makes a fuss, so I brought him out too."

Xuan Yu nodded, looked at Jiang Zhu, Jiang Zhu also looked at him, then looked at the little boy in front of her, and said to him with a smile: "How old are you? Come, sit down with us and have some food."

Seeing this, the woman finally showed some smiles on her face, and said to them: "You guys sit here and rest, let my baby do as he pleases, just don't bother you. I have to do laundry." Patted the little boy on the back, got up and walked to the stream, looking back at them step by step.

Jiang Zhu coaxed the little boy to sit down and asked, "What are you looking at?"

The little boy looked at Xuan Yu for a while, and Jiang Zhu for a while, and said, "Why have I never seen you, who are you?"

Jiang Zhu patiently said: "We came here from other places, so you haven't seen us."

"That's it." The little boy thought for a while, and then said, "Then why is there no one else?"

"Well, I don't know. Maybe we just happened to be here, and no one else can come."

"Why can't you come?"

"Because you don't seem to like people coming here."

"I don't know. But the uncles and uncles in the village all said that they like this place very much, and think our place is great." The little boy thought with his only thinking.

Xuan Yu looked at it, Jiang Zhu received it, and continued: "What else did they say?"

"Well..." the little boy said while thinking, "They say they can have a lot of money without being discovered."

"Then do you have a lot of money?"

"I didn't." The little boy lowered his head, and suddenly remembered something, his mouth shrunk, as if he was about to cry.

Jiang Zhu stopped quickly, and asked concerned: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"It's not me...it's..." The little boy became even more sad after being told, and was about to sob.

"Not you? What's the matter?"

"It's my little baby, it, it's gone." The little boy said aggrievedly.

Xuan Yu listened aside, frowned, and couldn't help asking: "You said your little baby is missing? What is the little baby?"

The little boy burst into tears again, "Little baby is a little baby, it belongs to me, and it will stay with me."

Jiang Zhu patted the boy's back lightly, glanced at Xuan Yu, as if telling him to stop asking.

Xuan Yu heard the little boy talk like this, and then thought about what happened last night, and had some guesses in his mind, could it be that this little boy was the child who was sleeping in the house when he rescued the sharpened gold-patterned beast last night.

Jiang Zhu coaxed the little boy, the little boy stopped crying, sniffled his nose and said in a low voice: "Doesn't it mean that my baby doesn't like me? That's why I ran away..."

Jiangzhu heard something, and whispered in Xuanyu's ear: "He seems to be talking about the beast with the golden pattern."

Xuan Yu also replied to her, "It's very possible. Besides, it's probably the beast with the sharpened gold pattern that we rescued last night."

After hearing this, Jiang Zhu thought of a way, so she said to the little boy, "Do you really want to find it?"

The little boy nodded, "I miss it."

"How about this? I'll make an agreement with you. Tonight, when you hear the hissing sound, sneak up to the village and don't let others find out. I can bring your little baby back to see you." Jiang Zhu stretched out a finger to her mouth and hissed, "However, you can't tell anyone, including your mother and family. Otherwise, I won't be able to bring the baby back."

As soon as the little boy heard that his little baby would come back, he immediately agreed: "Okay. We agreed."

Jiang Zhu stretched out her hand and put her little finger in front of him, "We want to pull the hook, no one can say nothing."

The little boy stretched out his hand after imitating himself, and made an agreement with Jiangzhu's pull hook.

Jiang Zhu patted his head, and said kindly: "Then we've made an agreement, and I'll come to you at night."

The little boy nodded seriously, "Yes. I remember."

Xuan Yu and Jiang Zhu sat for a while, the sun had gradually risen over the hill, they bid farewell to several women and boys, and prepared to go back.

Although they can go out without any scruples at night, they still have to go back to the Illusionary Realm during the day, so as not to run into trouble when the game starts.

Everything is fully prepared. Tonight, after they are sure that the owner will not open the game, they can act immediately.

If you want to rescue the sharpened gold beast, you must untie the bell and tie the bell, starting from Xishi Village.As Jiang Zhu said, they cannot rely on ordinary methods to solve the problem. After all, the villagers also belong to the role NPC category and will only follow the settings.

So, what they have to do is to solve this matter from the root cause, but the risks involved have also become unpredictable.

After Xuan Yu and Jiang Zhu parted, they returned to their own Illusory Profound Realm.

Looking at the phantoms who greeted them one by one, he strengthened his inner choice.

Although the phantoms are powerful, but before they were summoned by the phantom spirit master, each of them lived in the given world. Maybe some of them, like the gold-stealing beasts, will be violated.

The phantoms in front of Xuan Yu's eyes are so cute and innocent, he can't sit idly by.

The sky is completely bright, and maybe after a while, the system will inform them that the game will start.People outside the game will not know what they are thinking, nor will they care about how they are set up and how they exist in this world.
