Chapter 168 The old girl in white dress


    Xu Huo opened the light-shielding cloth on the cage. In addition to a cat corpse, there was also a ball-shaped puppet glued inside.


    Other players, including Tao Chengxin, looked at him in surprise.


    “It was found in the secret room of the Bear Claw Restaurant and was poisoned to death.” Xu Huo said to the girl in the white skirt.


    "So that''s it." The girl in the white skirt sighed and shook her head, "I have taught it not to eat randomly. The weak toxins in the corpses of cannibals are highly toxic to ordinary small animals."


    After speaking, she glanced at the puppet man again, and said with a smile: "Thank you for thinking of such a way to deal with the smiling puppet."


    “It’s just a fluke.” Xu Huo said, “This puppet seems to have a great origin.”


    "In terms of workmanship alone, it''s very rough and not as skilled as the worst craftsman in the game, but its owner is very powerful. If you want to use this puppet, you''d better not make the corners of its mouth turn upward." The girl in the white dress looked at He glanced at the sky outside and said, "It''s dinner time. I have to cook. What do you want to eat?"


    “No need!” Sun Jirou said immediately, “We all came here after eating.”


    "Little girl, don''t be nervous, I''m just making some vegetable soup." The girl in the white skirt''s voice was slightly hoarse. She got up and walked out. There was a small vegetable garden outside the yard.


    "I''m here to help." Xu Huo followed her out, followed closely by Tao Chengxin.


    As soon as the three of them left, Wang Qiao and Gao Baimei immediately stood up to look at the wind, then turned back and nodded towards Tang Yuan.


    Tang Yuan conjured a potion in his hand and quickly poured two drops into the teapot.


    “What are you doing?” Sun Jirou lowered her voice in surprise.


    Tang Yuan made a silent gesture towards her, and when he sat back down, Xu Huo and the others just opened the door and came back.


    The open kitchen is just behind the sofa. Tao Chengxin and Xu Huo helped wash the vegetables, while the girl in the white skirt chopped vegetables and made soup.


    She turned her back to everyone and suddenly said: "There''s no point in sitting and waiting like this. Why don''t I tell you a story?"


    The faces of the people behind him changed slightly, but Xu Huo responded without changing his expression.


    ??The girl in the white dress told the story of the king and the knight while cutting vegetables.


    Sun Jirou and others exchanged glances, not sure if she meant what she said, but finally decided to endure it, while Tang Yuan quietly inserted the access card into the crack of the sofa.


    She had also heard the story of the king and the knight during the day, so when Sun Jirou heard her tell about the knight who drove away the foreign enemies and hesitated whether to reconcile with the king, she said: "What is the benefit of fighting with the king at this time? The injured Still ordinary people.”


    "They are still hurt?" Tao Chengxin disagreed, "When we drove away the knight, no one spoke for the knight. Instead, they repeatedly reported and attacked him, and they collaborated with foreign enemies and harmed their own compatriots. Do these people deserve mercy?"


    “Why? Because there are so many of them?”


    “The lives of ten people are life, but the life of one person is not life?”


    "That''s true, but what can the knight gain by continuing to resist the king? It is nothing more than continuing the hatred." Sun Jiju said: "Enemies and friends are divided based on current interests. If the era of hatred continues, it will not sound good. Yes, a race can become extinct."


    “I have a question.” Xu Huo looked back at Sun Jirou, “What would you do if you found a bear in the wild that killed a person and was eating the body?”


    “Of course I killed it.” Sun Jirou did not hesitate.


    "Why?"


    "Because a bear killed someone, what else could it be for?" Gao Baimei choked. "There is a saying that once a bear eats a human, the instinct of ''people can be used as food'' will be imprinted in its genes, and its offspring will also eat humans, so this gene cannot be allowed to continue." Sun Jirou roughly explained. Suddenly, he understood what Xu Huo meant, and said, "In this story, most of the people were coerced and did not really want to do evil."


    ?Xu Huo did not comment and turned around to help the girl in the white skirt make soup.


    Sun Jirou waited for a while and couldn''t help but said: "What do you mean? If you have anything to say, just say it clearly!"


    “What do you think of the people in the fairy tale city?” Xu Huo asked.


    Sun Jirou was dumbfounded. Although the people in the fairy tale city did not directly eat people, eating things grown by absorbing alien bodies was similar to cannibalism. They were both human beings. They had no sympathy for their former compatriots, and even used this as a selling point. Develop tourism... They are intelligent people, and it is much more convenient to continue this "human-eating" gene than animals!


    There was silence in the room. After a while, Tang Yuan picked up the teapot and said, "I''ve been talking for so long, let''s have some tea."


    Yang Sheng helped the girl in the white skirt and Xu Huo''s cup, but when he got closer, he suddenly found that the girl in the white skirt had a lot of white hair on her head. When he was surprised, he saw her turn around and took two steps back in shock, "What are you doing?" Getting old!"


    ??The girl in the white dress who was originally in her early twenties now looks at least forty or fifty years old. Spots and wrinkles have appeared on her smooth skin. Her eyes are no longer as clear as before, and the whites of her eyes are surrounded by bloodshot eyes.


    “Player characteristics.” The voice of the girl in the white dress who grew older together pointed to the cup he broke on the ground, “Clean it up.”


    Before several players could react to the shock of her sudden aging, Yang Sheng had unconsciously picked up the broom as she said.


    The eyes of the remaining people twitched. Tao Chengxin quickly grabbed Xu Huo who was walking over, "Don''t go there!"


    ? Xu Huo didn’t say much about the girl in the white skirt’s ability to “rejuvenate her youth”. He touched the teapot, opened the lid and poured out all the remaining tea. “It’s cool, let’s drink again.”


    The teeth of Tang Yuan and others in front were almost broken, but the girl in the white skirt smiled and said: "The soup is ready, drink the soup."


    "What do you call aunt?" Xu Huo asked casually while holding hands.


    "My surname is Bai, please call me Granny Bai." said the ''girl in white skirt'' who was still getting older.


    “Who is the old man we saw during the day?”


    “My cousin is not in good spirits after being stimulated and goes to bed early at night.”


    “Is it just the two of you living here?”


    “That’s right, all the relatives and friends at home are dead, and only two old guys like us are left. In about ten days, he will die too, and I will be the only one by then.”


    “I see there are a lot of flowers planted outside. Did you work in a flower shop before?”


    “My husband and I both like to grow flowers. We used to have a flower shop, but after his death, I closed the shop and only planted some in my yard.”


    “Have you ever thought about going outside for a walk? The fairy tale city is too small.”


    “I can’t leave here, I can only walk around here.”


    Several bowls of soup have been served. When the old lady turned around again, her face changed again. Sun Jirou stood up suddenly and said, "You are the old man on the tourist bus!"


    Mrs. Bai put the soup on the table with a smile, "Young lady, you have bad eyesight. The young man who is traveling with you has already recognized me."
