Chapter 4: Strange Village!
At this time, Bing Ning'er stood there with a frown on her face. There were people standing around her. They all looked at her with curiosity. As more and more people came around her, her face became more and more ugly. Where did Hua Wu teleport herself to?
Looking at the pairs of curious eyes around her, Bing Ling'er sighed with a bit of a headache. Could you tell her what these people surrounding her are looking at?
Just when Bing Ning'er was being stared at and couldn't help but wonder if she had grown an extra pair of horns or an extra eye, a hunchbacked old man walked over from afar.
As for the people who were surrounding Bing Ning'er, when they saw the old man appear, they all stepped aside respectfully and made way for the hunchbacked old man.
When one of the aunts in her fifties saw the hunchbacked old man appear, she looked at him with a hint of joy on her face and asked, "Village chief, please come and see, is this the little girl?" While asking, she pointed in the direction of Bing Ning'er with her finger.
What is not yourself?
Bing Ning was a little confused, she lowered her head and looked at herself. Only then did she realize that her clothes had changed, and even her hair had turned into thigh-length blue curly hair. Although she hadn't seen her face yet, she already knew in her heart that she had become the hidden race she had drawn later.
Bing Ning looked at the old man in front of her nervously. Seeing that the aunt called him the village chief and that the people around him seemed to respect him very much, she spoke in a slightly cautious tone: "Excuse me, old man, you are surrounding me, what can I do for you?"
The hunchbacked old man didn't answer her at this moment. Instead, he looked around her, tidying his long beard with one hand. He nodded from time to time while turning around. Finally, he turned around and said to the people who were still looking at her curiously, "Okay, okay , don't scare the little girl. I will tell her the details. You can go away and do what you need to do."
The lady who had just asked the village chief a question, now heard the village chief telling everyone to disperse, and she spoke with a bit of anxiety on her face: "But the village chief...is it her?"
"It's her!" The village chief looked at the pairs of eyes around him that were full of expectation, and finally nodded slowly.
"Ah—really?"
“That’s really great.”
"Did I hear correctly? Did the village chief really say it was her?"
"God bless us, have we really waited for this day?"
After hearing what the hunchbacked old village chief said, the people around him started talking to each other excitedly. Some elderly uncles and aunts even had slightly red eyes and tears were oozing out.
"Then we..." The aunt who asked the question just now wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and prepared to speak again.
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the hunchbacked village chief: "What? Don't you trust me, an old man? I said I would explain it to her clearly, I would explain it to her clearly, why don't you disperse quickly? Do you want to scare the little girl?" As he spoke the latter part, the old village chief's tone became more and more severe, and the aunt had to calm her excitement and shut up obediently.
Bing Ning'er watched the people around her quickly disperse. Although there were still some children hiding far away and peeking, they did not dare to get close to her to watch.
The old village chief saw Bing Ning'er looking at him with doubtful eyes. He smiled kindly and asked her, "Haha... little girl, you must have a lot of doubts in your heart, right?"
Bing Ning nodded: "Why did they look at me like that just now?" And what puzzled her even more was that Hua Wu had sent her into the game, and now she didn't know which country she was in, let alone where she was. Because she had been surrounded by people until now, Bing Ning hadn't seen a single player passing by.
Also, what were they talking about just now? When she thought of this, Bing Ning'er was confused again.
The old village chief seemed to have remembered something, and a trace of sadness flashed across his face. He sighed and said to Bing Ning'er, "Hey... Come with me first, to my house. I'll ask my wife to make some hot soup, and we can talk while we drink it!"
Bing Ning'er watched the old village chief turn around and walk forward with a heavy step. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but at that moment she felt that the old village chief's back seemed to be more hunched. She hesitated for a second and followed him, silently holding the old village chief's arm with both hands.
Although Bing Ning'er had been urging Hua Wu when she was creating her character, she has now entered the game, and there is obviously something wrong with the place she is in. She hasn't seen any players along the way. The only way now is to go to the village chief's house and listen to what he wants to say to her.
Bing Ning'er followed the old village chief and came to a dilapidated thatched cottage. At this moment, a silver-haired old woman came out of the door with a broom. When she saw the old village chief coming back with Bing Ning'er behind him, she smiled with her wrinkled face and narrowed her eyes and asked, "My dear, is this little girl her?"
Why this sentence again?
Bing Ning'er was increasingly confused. Why did they ask the village chief if she was the "she" when they saw her? Who was that "she" referring to?
When the village chief saw that Bing Ning'er's brows were almost knotted, he smiled and said to the silver-haired old woman, "Don't ask that for now. Old woman, please make us some hot soup so that the girl and I can chat while drinking soup, okay?" After saying that, the village chief blew on his hands as if he was very cold.
"Ah... yes, yes! Look at me, an old woman, I really didn't consider this at all. I even forgot that the weather is so cold. Little girl, please come in with me and sit down. Grandma will make some hot soup for you right away." The silver-haired grandma took Bingning'er's hand and led her into the house.
After Bing Ning'er followed the old woman into the house, she saw that the old village chief had already sat down at the wooden table in the middle of the hut. When he saw her come in, he nodded at her and said, "Little girl, please sit down! Actually, I think you must be very curious about why everyone was so excited to see you just now, right?"
After seeing that the silver-haired grandmother had gone to the kitchen, Bing Ning'er sat down opposite the old village chief. She looked at the village chief with a sad face and said, "Please speak clearly, village chief."
"Alas - because the people in our valley have been waiting for you for a long time, so long that we almost doubt whether you exist." The village chief stared at Bing Ning'er's long blue hair in a trance. When he said those words, two lines of tears slowly flowed down his wrinkled eye sockets.
Uh - why do these NPCs cry all the time?
Bing Ning'er really didn't know what to say at this moment. She was not good at comforting others. At this moment, she could only look at the old village chief quietly, waiting for him to get over his sadness and then tell her the reason.
In the following time, Bing Ning'er sat there quietly, and the old village chief slowly explained why they were waiting for her arrival.
After listening to this, Bing Ning'er finally understood that there was indeed a reason why she appeared in this place.
To be honest, I really don’t know whether to thank Hua Wu or blame her.
