"Xiaobei, your performance just now was really convincing! If we weren't already familiar with you, we'd really think you were possessed!"
"Exactly!"
They chatted with Hu Xiaobei, speaking with ease!
They were speaking the truth at that mont!
Earlier, Hu Xiaobei's performance was truly impeccable, especially the scene where he lost control—it was definitely worthy of a perfect score.
Sighing silently, Hu Xiaobei said a bit gloomily, "I can't help it; I'm a genius, my brilliance can't be hidden."
Hearing such an utterly narcissistic remark, they rolled their eyes at Hu Xiaobei and said in unison, "What's with that? Would you die if you didn't boast?"
With a cheerful grin, Hu Xiaobei cheekily said in a low voice, "You never know! Soone as handso as , if sothing really happened, it'd be a huge loss for all the beauties!"
"Okay, stop exaggerating!"
"Exactly, you've only been away for a few days, how co your skin has beco so thick!"
Hearing their disdainful comnts, Hu Xiaobei chuckled dryly and seriously asked, "Sis-in-law, Aunt, now there's no one else here, can you tell what's really going on in the village?"
"It's hard to explain in just a few words, let's talk while we walk!"
"Alright!"
Agreeing to that, Hu Xiaobei walked towards the village with them.
Hu Xiaobei knew the situation was obviously complicated; otherwise, their expressions wouldn't be so serious.
Of course, he had great confidence in himself, so he wasn't particularly nervous at the mont…
Twenty minutes later, Hu Xiaobei understood the specifics from their description.
Rubbing his chin thoughtfully, Hu Xiaobei asked in a raspy voice, "How long has this unexplained death of fruits and vegetables been happening?"
"Not long, about three days!"
Nodding, Hu Xiaobei squinted, "Aside from this unexplained death, is there anything else that's unusual?"
"We haven't noticed anything else unusual!"
They thought about it and slowly shook their heads…
"Alright, I've got it! I'll go to the fields later and have a good look, don't worry, the problem shouldn't be too serious!"
"We'll go with you!"
Hearing their offer to join him, Hu Xiaobei looked at them.
Soon, Hu Xiaobei gently shook his head.
Seeing Hu Xiaobei shake his head, they squinted in surprise.
"What's the matter? You don't want us to go with you?"
"No, of course, I want you to go with , but unfortunately, you can't co with !"
"Why not?"
"Because you have more important things you need to do!"
After saying that, Hu Xiaobei quickly grabbed their fair hands.
"You little bastard, what are you doing!"
Stunned for a second by Hu Xiaobei's grip, they quickly struggled instinctively.
But they found they couldn't do it at all; their hands felt like they were glued by Hu Xiaobei and couldn't be let go.
Without responding urgently, Hu Xiaobei observed them carefully!
Even without deliberately dressing up, they still made Hu Xiaobei's eyes light up.
"Perhaps this is what they an by 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'!"
Murmuring softly, Hu Xiaobei excitedly whispered, "The important thing I'm talking about, you'll soon find out!"
After saying that, Hu Xiaobei led them directly toward a villa not far away.
"That little bastard!"
Although they were a bit naive, they certainly weren't dumb, and at that mont, they thoroughly understood Hu Xiaobei's intentions.
Once aware, they symbolically struggled a bit and ultimately gave up…
Because deep down, they didn't want to resist…
Earlier, they felt jealous when Song Yaling told them Hu Xiaobei had found a little girlfriend…
So, they planned to give him a hard ti when he returned.
But when Hu Xiaobei did return, they forgot all about that because compared to Hu Xiaobei himself, nothing else mattered!
…
An hour later, Hu Xiaobei walked out of the villa humming a tune, looking delighted…
"The village is still the best!"
Murmuring with joy, Hu Xiaobei headed straight to the orchard behind the mountain.
Hu Xiaobei knew Hei and Xiaobai lived over there at the orchard.
So, he planned to go to the orchard to ask if they knew anything.
Hu Xiaobei knew that their perception was more sensitive, so they might know more information.
As the sound of footsteps faded, Guo iyu and Han Xueyao, with flushed cheeks, exhaled a little…
Soon, Han Xueyao grumbled angrily, "That little bastard, did he have to be so harsh? I actually wanted to go with him!"
"Exactly!"
They were really upset…
Before, they both gave it their all, hoping to defeat Hu Xiaobei once, but they realized they were overthinking.
If Hu Xiaobei hadn't gone easy on them, they might not even have had the strength to speak…
"Alright, let's stop thinking about going and just take a good rest!"
"Okay!"
Murmuring shyly, they both closed their eyes…
…
Hu Xiaobei didn't know about the situation over there, he was already at the orchard, just stepped in, when he felt a weight on his shoulder!
Turning his head, Hu Xiaobei saw the Treasure-hunting Rabbit lying on his shoulder.
Seeing the excitent in its eyes, Hu Xiaobei knew it was quite happy to see him.
Slling the strong dicinal aroma on it, Hu Xiaobei's eyes lit up, "Kenghuo, looks like you've found quite a few good things recently, split half when we et, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, the chubby Treasure-hunting Rabbit disappeared outright…
"That really hurts!"
Watching it disappear, Hu Xiaobei murmured, feeling down…
After that, Hu Xiaobei heard so movent.
Turning his head, Hu Xiaobei smiled happily because he saw Hei and Xiaobai running over.
Compared to before, they looked much slimr.
However, their aura was more restrained, showing their strength had increased a lot since before.
"Seems like you haven't been slacking lately!"
Speaking softly, Hu Xiaobei reached out his hand, touching their definitely fluffy big heads.
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, they quickly licked his hand, then began to tell Hu Xiaobei about what happened recently.
Hu Xiaobei listened attentively!
After listening, Hu Xiaobei looked at them and seriously asked, "Has anything seed off in the village recently?"
They hesitated humanely for a mont and lightly shook their heads.
"I got it! You guys continue resting now! I'm going to look around!"
After letting them leave, Hu Xiaobei walked out of the orchard with a calm expression.
Earlier, Hu Xiaobei had intended to get so information from them; now, he knew he had overthought things!
"Since I can't get much useful information from them, I'll just carefully investigate what's going on myself."
Thinking like that, Hu Xiaobei headed towards the vegetable garden next to the orchard.
Here was a vast sea of vegetables.
Both Guo iyu and Han Xueyao were very attentive to this place, so it was divided into many sections, each planted with different crops.
"Looks like Sis-in-law and Aunt have really managed this place well! It's also because they have my back, otherwise, I wouldn't be this relaxed!"
Murmuring like that, Hu Xiaobei intended to walk forward, suddenly hearing footsteps, turning his head to see a group of young villagers forming a guard walking over!
"You've worked hard!"
Previously, Hu Xiaobei learned about the existence of this guard from Guo iyu and Han Xueyao…
They ford it spontaneously and patrolled everywhere daily, aiming to keep all dangers away from the fruits and vegetables here…
"Master Xiaobei, we're not worn out! We're just frustrated that despite patrolling daily, we still can't stop those fruits and vegetables from wilting and dying!"
They were truly frustrated…
Because the wilting continued, and it seed to be escalating…
