The second day of the game.

After running all the way, Bai Xi and the others arrived at their destination - Qinghe Village.

News of the team's return spread quickly, and everyone came out to greet them.

Seeing Bai Xi and Ye Xiao in the team, the villagers were not wary of strangers, but were extremely enthusiastic.

Bai Xi copes with it on the surface, but becomes increasingly wary in her heart.

This village is so strange. There are no old people or children. They are all young adults between 20 and 40 years old, including women.

That’s fine if there are no old people. Why don’t you even have children? How do they reproduce?

And the game reminds us - this is a world full of dangers.

But along the way, except for the snake forest at the beginning, they encountered no danger at all.

It is unreasonable to say that there is no danger on the grassland. The survival rate in the upper right corner has dropped to 96%, which shows that the world is not that safe.

But Ye Xiao's mission is to stay in Qinghe Village for three days, and not long after entering the village, Bai Xi's second mission also came. No matter how strange this village is, they have to stay.

[Side mission: The secret of Qinghe Village

A village without old people and children is obviously abnormal. Please find the secret hidden in this village.

Mission reward: an item card]

On the pretext of cleaning up the house, Bai Xi took Ye Xiao and whispered in the temporary house she rented from the villagers.

"Captain, my second mission is here. Find the secret of Qinghe Village. The reward is an item card." Bai Xi closed the door, pulled Ye Xiao to sit down at the table, and whispered.

"Item card?" Ye Xiao looked surprised, was silent for a while, and said seriously: "Complete this task as much as possible."

Bai Xi nodded and continued: "Captain, what should we do?"

"There were also many large predators on the way here, and the village was surrounded by no obstructions. Logically speaking, it should be dangerous, but they didn't seem to have such worries." Ye Xiao sat down at the table and frowned.

"Is it possible that they have some way to make the surrounding beasts afraid and afraid to approach?" Bai Xi guessed.

"There is a possibility." Ye Xiao looked at Bai Xi and continued: "The early game will not be too dangerous. Let's collect as much information as possible and complete your mission first."

His mission reward is to draw cards, but regardless of his luck, it doesn’t matter if he does it or not.

Bai Xi's mission reward is very clear, it is an item card, so naturally she will be given priority to complete it.

After discussing it, the two of them split up, with Ye Xiao starting with men and Bai Xi starting with women in the village.

……

In front of a house, two women were chatting.

"It's time to eat fruit in four days. Is your family ready?" said a woman in Tsing Yi who was picking up shoe soles.

The woman next to her with long hair covering her face said: "We have been prepared for a long time. We can't have another accident this time."

A gust of breeze blew up, lifting the woman's long hair covering the side of her face, revealing the uneven black mottled skin underneath.

"Hurry up and cover up. If there are outsiders in the village, it will be bad if they are discovered." The woman in Tsing Yi hurriedly reminded.

The long-haired woman quickly pulled her hair to cover half of her face and looked around warily.

……

Coming out of the house, Bai Xi walked around the village and met the team leader Luo Shanhuai.

Everyone in this village has the surname Luoshan. It is a matrilineal clan where women are the masters of the family. The production method is also very primitive, with picking and hunting as the main ones, and farming has become secondary.

"Brother Luoshan, where are you going?"

Seeing that he was covered in sweat and his clothes were covered with dust, Bai Xi stepped forward to say hello.

"Send some food to old lady." Luo Shanhuai smiled and patted the dust on his shoulder, causing a burst of gray-white dust to billow in the air.

Bai Xi's sharp eyes discovered that the ash he had picked up was actually a trace of dust. Although it was very small, it was clearly visible under the refraction of the sun.

"Old Amu?" Bai Xi asked doubtfully: "How come I'm covered in dust when I give something to Old Amu?"

Luo Shanhuai explained: "Old Amu is the most senior person in the village, he is over a hundred years old.

As I get older, I don’t like to go out.

On weekdays, we juniors would send some things in, and several elders in the village would often visit her.

But the younger generation has never met the old Eminem, and as a man, I am not qualified to meet the old Eminem."

"As elderly people get older, they should go out and walk around more and get some sunshine, which is good for their health."

Bai Xi still has some doubts in her heart, but it's not easy for her as an outsider to get to the bottom of things.

"That makes sense!" Luo Shanhuai nodded and said politely, "I'll mention it to a few Ammu when I get the chance."

Later, Bai Xi and Luoshan Huai learned about the situation nearby.

The closest city to Qinghe Village is Fengling City, which takes about seven days to walk. There are no other villages along the way, and there are only scattered villages near the cities.

"Is it so far?" Bai Xi asked in surprise. It seems that the scope of the game is very large!

"If you are going to Fengling City, you must prepare food on the road in advance. The grassland is not like the forest, and there may not be so many wild fruits to eat." Luoshanhuai reminded.

"Brother Luoshan, Ye Xiao and I are new here and don't know anyone. Can you let the aunts and grandmothers take me with them when they go out to pick?"

Bai Xi finally revealed the purpose of her trip. She was not interested in Wind Chime City. The more people there, the greater the danger. The most important thing was to find opportunities to collect information and stock up on food.

"That's no problem! You and Brother Ye saved our lives. If you have any requests, just ask." Luo Shanhuai waved his hand and said calmly.

Because I had something to do, I left without saying a few words to Luoshan Huai.

Looking at the gray dust on the back of the fallen locust tree, Bai Xi was thoughtful.

An old lady who has lived for more than a hundred years, never goes out and is not seen by others; dust is like fine velvet on her back; a village that is extremely harmonious and peaceful without old people and children.

This village is so strange!

After Luoshan Huai left, Bai Xi continued to visit the village and met two aunts sitting in front of the house chatting.

Seeing Bai Xi coming over, they greeted each other warmly.

"Miss Bai, has the house been tidied up?"

The person who spoke was an aunt in green clothes. She was smiling and looked like she was in her late thirties.

Next to her is an aunt with long hair covering half of her face, also smiling.

"It's packed." Bai Xi smiled and walked closer, "Sorry, aunt! We have saved enough food in the past two days and set off for Fengling City."

"It's okay! We're sorry to say it, but you used the soul stone to save Dahuai and the others. You have to prepare the food yourself." The long-haired woman apologized.

"It's okay, I think everyone is quite busy." Bai Xi smiled.

Another strange thing is that such a big village cannot provide seven days of food rations for two people, and they seem to be very busy, preparing something.
