There's definitely something wrong with this script.

Chapter 119 On How to Steam or Braise a Cucumber

Compared with the detective's inexplicable death, what happened to the old man Huang's house obviously worried and frightened the villagers more. Everyone's eyes sparkled, and they seemed hesitant to speak.

Xu Shuo knew that they had ghosts in their hearts, so he didn't bother to ask them.

After ordering a few young men to clean up the blood here, Xu Shuo took advantage of this matter to think about it and left temporarily.

He needs to sort out the "blue-faced fangs"'s action rules, and last night, why the mission was not considered complete, should he beat the monster half to death before catching it?
In addition, if there is anything related to the old man Huang and the "blue-faced fangs", it is only his wife who disappeared not long ago.

In fact, the old man Huang's wife didn't go back to her natal home, but was dragged into the water by something when she went to wash clothes by the river.

At that time, there was blood floating on the water, and the villagers who heard the sound did not dare to go down to save him. After a while, they could not find his wife.

The old man Huang cried a lot on the surface, what should he do after that?

The acting village head knew this matter well, because the girl who married the old man Huang was an extinct family in the village. After she died, all the remaining family property naturally went into the old man Huang's pocket, and no one else had a chance to take any of it.

Then inevitably someone will be jealous.

However, the old man was also tactful, and immediately gave the acting village chief a piece of land to help him stabilize the matter.

He was also the one who came to the ancestral hall yesterday to inquire about reporters and detectives, probably because he was worried that the news about his wife would be spread, after all, it is not a glorious thing to lose a family.

Xu Shuo frowned and thought, so who would be the one who wanted Old Man Huang to die?

Walking to the village road, he glanced at the fields below the river.

Because of the alarm, the detective's body could not be moved at will, and several big men were still guarding the field.

The melon field, which was originally growing well, will be trampled on by a group of panic-stricken people, killing a large piece of melon vines in vain.

The melon field is next to the river, which is the most convenient place to get water. The fields behind have to dig channels beside it to divert water, so the whole field belongs to it.

Behind it is the land of the Zhang family. This morning, it was discovered that the accident in the melon field was also Lao Zhang who went to the field, and the two had had a dispute over water diversion before.

But that was all a few months ago.

However, if he kept groping along this conjecture, Xu Shuo immediately thought of another person.

Some time ago, Lao Zhang's family lost an antique heirloom vase, which was said to have been stolen by Lao Li, but after the incident broke out, no one could find out where the vase was.

It just so happened that the acting village head also knew the truth.

As a highly respected head of a village, the head of the village who has to take care of all matters big and small, he knows almost all the messy things among the villagers.

Although this is a harmonious and friendly village with beautiful mountains and clear waters on the surface, the filth hidden underneath may not be less than the silt in the river.

In layman's terms, who doesn't have any messes.

Taking a look at his unfinished task, Xu Shuo thought about it, and decided to go to Lao Zhang's house to watch tonight, first to verify whether his guess about "green-faced fangs" was correct.

As for how to catch it...

Xu Shuo opened the player manual and sent a flying letter to Hong Rao.

As a result, the system prompted "Unable to send". He was taken aback for a moment, then deleted the original text after thinking about it, and re-edited a paragraph.

[Is the dream catcher a prop for this mission? 】

[What is the function of the dream catcher? 】

【How to use Dream Catcher? 】

[On the use of the net? 】

【How to steam or braise a chicken? 】

After revising it four times before and after, Xu Shuo finally sent the message, and he also deeply realized what the other party meant when he said that he could not directly hint at it.

Thinking about it this way, the function of in-game dialogue is really useless, no wonder Hong Rao used it directly for chatting.

Now he just wants to wait for the teacher-student bond to reach a high level, and let Hong Rao send him the props directly, no need for nothing.

……

Xu Shuo thought about it all the way, but he didn't go back after leaving Old Man Huang's house, but went to the ancestral hall instead.

The little girl in a ripped jacket was sitting on the threshold eating candy. When she saw him approaching, her eyes were shining, and the corners of her mouth curved into a cute smile.

Xu Shuo walked over to pick her up, pinched the little girl's soft cheeks, and said with a smile: "In the future, don't go to that kind of place casually, you know, children can't meddle in the affairs of adults."

"Yeah." The little girl nodded quickly.

"Then what did you go to see just now?" Xu Shuo pinched her cheek and continued to ask.

"Well, it has a very strange taste." The little girl blinked her big ignorant eyes, eating candy in her mouth, and said vaguely: "It feels fragrant and sweet, I want to eat it."

"..."

Xu Shuo remembered that when he passed by just now, he saw the little girl pick up melon seedlings from the field and eat them. The melon seedlings that hadn't grown up tasted not only tasteless, but also very dry.

Being supported by the people in the village, she wouldn't even have breakfast, even if she went to any house to grab a meal, she could get a bowl of porridge.

You shouldn't be able to eat much at such a young age.

Then, Xu Shuo thought of the big bag of snacks he packed for the little girl yesterday.

He carried the little girl back to the right room of the ancestral hall and looked around. The windowless room was dimly lit, the bed was simple and the table was clean, except for an empty plastic bag.

Xu Shuo fell into deep thought.

The little girl followed his gaze and saw the plastic bag, and suddenly, a worried expression appeared on her round and round face, and she began to chew candy carefully.

"Uncle Dai, I'm sorry..."

After a while, the little girl hesitated to make a sound.

Because Uncle Dai has a serious face and looks really scary.

More importantly, before the uncle left last night, he specifically told her not to eat too much, but she couldn't help it, and when she came to her senses, she accidentally finished eating.

She was a little worried that she would be hated if she didn't obey, so she should admit her mistake first after thinking about it.

Xu Shuo didn't speak, and looked back at her, then pulled the little girl's cheeks from both sides, causing her to open her mouth passively.

"Ah." Xu Shuo signaled to open his mouth.

"Ah~" The little girl didn't understand what he was going to do, but she opened her mouth obediently.

The girl's white teeth were still covered with chewed white rabbit candies. Her immature teeth were not as sharp as those of adults, her tongue coating was healthy and tender, and her mouth was still clean.

It's just that there is a strange smell emanating from the depths of the throat.

It's like it's been dusty for a long time, then rotted and fermented, and finally mixed with an unbearable stench.

But the little girl blinked her big watery eyes and kept her mouth open obediently. Her chubby cheeks were soft and cute when pinched, and her immature face looked even more innocent.

Xu Shuo: "..."

At this time, Xiao Feixin also sent Hong Rao's reply:
[Xiao Shuo'er, sit in prison and find out, this endangered species cannot be eaten and can only be offered. 】
