The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1398 - 1411: Days of Being Pampered by the Escape Boss (12)

Chapter 1398: Chapter 1411: Days of Being Pampered by the Escape Boss (12)

The Village Aunt stared at her nails, rough and jagged like a dog’s chew toy, looking dazed and foolish.

Hearing Su Li’s words, though she hadn’t recovered from her emotions, she instinctively pulled at her long sleeve, and tidied her collar.

But her hands suddenly stopped, and she turned her head with a fierce glare.

A pair of thin, black hands like chicken claws turned her head back just in time, dragging her into the inner room.

Su Li quietly enjoyed playing with her own nails.

After a while, Uncle Cun came out alone, forcing a smile, "My wife suddenly felt unwell and went back to the room to rest."

Su Li nodded to indicate she understood.

Even without leaving her spot, lying with a palm fan on a recliner in the courtyard, Su Li could clearly sense everyone else’s movements.

Several sinister gazes, evil and sharp, never left her body from the shadows under the sun.

Perhaps because of some concern, under broad daylight, they only dared to create small disturbances like the Village Aunt and others.

Indeed, it’s a beginner’s stage where as long as you’re bold and careful, you can survive, of course, as long as you haven’t received all the malice yet.

Xu Qingqing and the others also made progress; they found an important diary in Fourth Aunt’s house.

The contents were both incredible and hair-raising.

The diary originally belonged to Fourth Aunt’s biological daughter, hidden very securely, found beneath a hollow brick under the bed.

The pages were yellowed and damp, some writings already blurred, but from fragmented sentences, one could glimpse a corner of the truth.

"Last night, Big Brother returned home in disarray. I heard he ran all the way to Qiuming Mountain and got a severe scolding from Mom after she caught him."

"Ever since Big Brother came back from Qiuming Mountain and got caught in the rain, his cold symptoms haven’t improved, and are getting worse. I think he should be sent to the clinic down the mountain, but I don’t understand why Mom won’t allow it."

"Second Brother and Third Sister want to study outside. I heard from a brother next door that life outside is enjoyable.... Mom not only disagrees but gets angrier."

"I don’t know where Mom sent Second Brother and Third Sister; I haven’t seen them for several days.... By the way, Big Brother was also sent away by Mom to get treated and hasn’t been seen for days."

"I think I discovered a big secret of Mom’s, or should I say the village’s secret.... I must escape; she, she is no longer my mom...."

The further back in the diary, the more blurred and scrawled the writing. Xu Qingqing and the others’ hearts jumped upon seeing this content.

"Secret, what secret?" Brother Zhao couldn’t hold back and asked urgently, urging repeatedly, "Quickly flip through, I have a hunch this must be a clue to us clearing the level."

Xu Qingqing rolled her eyes, clearly indicating that it goes without saying, even a fool would know.

If Xiao Nan hadn’t suggested staying at Fourth Aunt’s house, she truly wouldn’t want to get mixed up with someone like Brother Zhao.

"The elders in the village have gone mad... I can’t stay here any longer."

"Ah.... Mom discovered me, found out that I discovered her secret. I’m about to meet the same fate as my siblings... No, I don’t want this, her actions are wrong, I must find a way to report and expose her."

.....

"Keep reading," Brother Zhao shouted discontentedly when he saw Xu Qingqing stop.

Xu Qingqing directly closed the diary, put it into her backpack, and said expressionlessly, "No more."

Brother Zhao raised his voice, "How can there be no more?"

He felt that he was about to know the truth, but the clues had broken off here.

All they could know was that Fourth Aunt had four biological children, the owners of the four rooms they were staying in.

What Fourth Aunt and the villagers did was not accepted by the younger generation; perhaps they even intended impulsively to expose it.

It seems they failed.

But, where were Fourth Aunt’s children? Where did they go?

Why couldn’t they see any young people in the village except for Xiao Nan?

And most importantly... What did Fourth Aunt and the villagers do?

Even their own children couldn’t stand it.

One question after another emerged, leaving Brother Zhao and the others with more questions than answers.

Out of nowhere, Brother Zhao tried to snatch the diary from Xu Qingqing’s backpack, but Xu Qingqing was faster, zipping up her bag just in time, nearly trapping Brother Zhao’s fingers.

Brother Zhao stretched out his hand stiffly, "Let me see it."

"I told you, the diary doesn’t record anything else."

"What do you want to do to Qingqing?" That eerie Xiao Nan emerged from somewhere again, saying eerily, "Do not bully Qingqing."

Xu Qingqing smiled, pulled Xiao Nan’s cold hand close, and asked concernedly, "Where did you go just now, have you had lunch?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Seeing Xiao Nan retract her gaze, like looking at the dead, Brother Zhao’s stiff body took a long time to recover, as he lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

Great, now it seemed he had inadvertently offended the big boss.

The little gourd charm on his waist heated up so much it was about to blister his skin.

This little gourd was a prop he accidentally obtained in the last game, allowing him to directly assess the level of malice NPCs in the game harbored toward him.

Its function was a bit useless, but if used properly, it could have unexpected effects.

In the last game, it was this little gourd that helped him narrowly escape the boss’s pursuit and successfully obtain the key to clearing the level.

But this time.... he thought he might be stuck here.

According to Xiao Nan’s level of malice toward him, perhaps the one who would die tonight would be him.

No, he couldn’t just sit and wait for death.

"Well, I’ll just go out for a walk again," Brother Zhao avoided Xiao Nan’s gaze, forcing a smile, and walked out.

A few newcomers glanced at each other bewilderedly, hurrying to follow Brother Zhao.

After Brother Zhao and the others left, Xu Qingqing took out the diary once more.

Opening it again in front of Xiao Nan.

Of course, she didn’t let Brother Zhao and the others see because there was still the most crucial truth in the diary she hadn’t revealed.

But she felt with Brother Zhao’s impulsive and foolish nature, if he knew, he might act rashly, and there would be no chance to remedy it then.

Flipping through the diary, Xu Qingqing looked at Xiao Nan, and seriously asked, "Xiao Nan, do you want to see the outside world?"

"Shall I take you to see the outside world?"

Xiao Nan laughed, lowering her eyelids to cover the swiftly swirling black storm in her eyes.

"I want to be with Qingqing, always together. Can you stay and be with me?"

Xu Qingqing remained silent for a while, just as Xiao Nan’s presence grew more terrifying, a pair of slender, warm hands rested on his head, ruffling his hair, "If this is Xiao Nan’s wish, then of course I am willing to fulfill it for you."
