Quick-travel system: The host is having a blast in the small world
Chapter 264 8, Rebirth 80 Not a Stepmother 12
After the afternoon nap, the children went out to play, and Li Rou cleaned the house. Since He Qing was at home, she prepared to make dumplings for a good meal in the evening.
While Li Rou was preparing dumpling fillings, He Ziyan rushed home and shouted to Li Rou: "Mom, grandma asked you to go back."
Hearing this, Li Rou stopped what she was doing and asked, "Did grandma say anything?"
"No, I just said that I have something urgent to tell you to go back quickly. I have to go out and play, so I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he ran out again. When he was at the door, he met He Qing who came back from outside with a gloomy face.
Li Rou had no choice but to put down the work in her hands, pack up briefly and prepare to go.
He had only taken a few steps when suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He quickly stopped and his eyes suddenly focused. He realized that the matter was not simple and it was very likely that he was going to attack him.
But Li Rou was not afraid at this moment. Instead, a relaxed smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She turned around, walked to He Qing who was still standing there, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "My mother said she has something urgent and wants me to go back. Do you want to go with me to take a look?"
Li Rou looked at He Qing with an unhappy expression and guessed that he must have heard a lot of rumors when he went out just now. She asked him to go back to the Li family together. If it was really as she guessed, it would be a good time to prove her identity.
Although He Qing was full of doubts, he still nodded and agreed to go together.
The two walked towards Li's house side by side, and Li Rou suddenly looked forward to what was going to happen next.
Lin Dai, who had been observing them in secret, saw that the heroine knew there was a fire pit ahead but still went forward without hesitation. She understood that she was fearless because she had the Soul-Soothing Pearl.
The corner of his mouth could not help but reveal a meaningful sneer: "Humph, a small soul-suppressing bead can make you so arrogant, just wait, the show is about to begin!"
Lin Dai no longer hid herself, and followed them openly not far away, constantly greeting others on the way. She also inadvertently revealed that she was going to the Li family to watch the fun, as the Li family wanted to exorcise a ghost for their daughter.
People who heard the news immediately became curious and gossipy, and rushed to Li's house to watch the fun.
Li Rou arrived at the Li family's house and found it quiet, with no sign of Li's father or mother. He Qing, who was following her, immediately noticed something was wrong and whispered to her to be careful. Then they found that the door to the main room was tightly closed, and guessed that someone might be inside.
Li Rou's face was not tense at all at this moment, and she deliberately shouted loudly: "Dad! Mom! He Qing and I are back to see you."
Mr. and Mrs. Li, who were hiding in the house, were shocked. They didn't expect He Qing to come back and follow the woman. They immediately realized that today's event might not be accomplished.
Hearing the woman calling her hypocritically, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and open the door and walk out. Mother Li smiled awkwardly: "He Qing, why are you back too?"
He Qing looked at the old couple's obviously abnormal expressions and said in a low voice: "I came back for something."
Seeing this, Li Rou smiled and asked gently and naturally, "Mom and Dad, is there something you're anxious for me to come back for?"
Mr. and Mrs. Li looked at each other, secretly anxious, but they could only force themselves to continue acting out the scene.
Mother Li forced a smile and hurriedly found an excuse: "Oh, it's nothing serious. Your father just suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart. But he has been lying in the house for a while and he is fine now."
Li Rou knew it was an excuse but did not expose it. She walked forward and greeted Li's father with concern.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the house, which attracted the attention of both people. The nerves of Mr. and Mrs. Li were instantly tense.
"Mom, is there anyone else at home?"
A dark light flashed in Li Rou's eyes at this moment. If she guessed correctly, the witch they found must be in the house. In this case, she might as well take this opportunity to satisfy them and dispel their doubts to prevent future troubles.
Thinking of this, Li Rou immediately continued to speak loudly: "Mom, there must be a thief in the house, whoever is inside, come out quickly!"
At this time, the person inside no longer hid or waited for Father Li's signal. He simply opened the door and walked out.
I saw an old woman wearing a simple Taoist robe, holding a string of glowing prayer beads, walking out.
"Rou'er, this is..." Before Li's mother could finish her words, she was interrupted by the witch's gesture.
The witch stared at Li Rou with a pair of eagle-like eyes, as if she could penetrate her soul and see the heart behind her.
After a moment, he nodded as if confirming something, and said to Mr. and Mrs. Li: "You two, at this point, you don't have to worry about it. I have observed this girl, and there is indeed something unusual about her. She is no longer your daughter."
Li Rou sneered, totally unconvinced about what this old woman could know or what she could do to her.
"Where did you come from, you liar? You cheated me and came to my house."
The witch was no less impressive. She immediately took out an inconspicuous bell and said sternly, "You will know if he is a liar by trying him. But by then it will be too late to regret it when your soul is scattered all over the place!"
"Really?" Li Rou walked forward boldly, crossed her arms and raised her head proudly: "How about making a bet? If I am intact and nothing happened to me, you kneel down and crawl out of our village."
"Okay, then please everyone bear witness." The fortune-teller pointed outside the door.
The people in the yard realized that many people had gathered at the door to watch the fun. When they saw the witch asking them to testify, some of them took a few steps forward and said, "Okay, okay, we'll testify."
Seeing this, Li Rou was not worried but more satisfied. The more people came to watch the fun, the more people would witness it, which would only benefit her and not harm her.
"Little girl, don't think you have nothing to fear just because you are a ghost from another world. I will give you a chance. As long as you take the initiative to leave this body, I will let you go."
Li Rou's heart couldn't help but shudder. This old woman could actually tell where she came from, which meant she had some skills. But even so, she was not afraid. She refused without hesitation and said sarcastically, "I am not afraid of my own shadow. Just come at me! I think you are afraid!"
As soon as the voice fell, the system's warning sounded in Li Rou's mind: "Beep! It was detected that the host used fake rare medicinal material ginseng to exchange points. Now the system has taken back the soul-soothing beads exchanged by the host. In order to punish the host, the host's points have been reset to zero and the system has been temporarily shut down!"
As soon as the system's voice stopped, Li Rou was stunned, her face turned pale in an instant, and she fumbled around in panic, hoping that the voice just now was an illusion. But the result made her heart sink - it was gone, the Soul-Suppressing Orb was really gone!
She murmured to herself in disbelief: "How is this possible?" Recalling what the system had said, it meant that the ginseng was fake, but how was that possible? She knew the ginseng herself, and it was clearly top-quality ginseng. So what was going on?
Li Rou was extremely anxious, her brain racing, trying to find a reasonable explanation.
At this moment, she caught a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye. The woman was standing in front of the crowd with an obviously sarcastic smile on her face, as if she had expected all this.
Li Rou suddenly realized what was going on, ran to her angrily, and asked, "Did you do this?"
Facing her questioning, Lin Dai blinked her eyes and pretended to be innocent and asked back: "What's wrong with me? What does it have to do with me?"
Li Rou looked at the crowd in front of her, and without Lin Dai's consent, she pulled her aside and whispered, "Ginseng, your ginseng is fake."
Lin Dai immediately retorted: "Ah? Li Rou, whether my ginseng is real or fake is none of your business, I didn't give it to you!"
"You..." Li Rou was choked and speechless, unable to express her pain.
At this time, He Qing, who had been paying attention to Li Rou, felt something was wrong and hurried forward to ask: "What's wrong, what happened?" As he spoke, he looked at Lin Dai, and he had a feeling that this woman was not simple.
Li Rou quickly looked at He Qing for help. He Qing frowned deeply when he saw her eyes full of fear and helplessness. He didn't understand why Li Rou, who was so confident and determined just now, suddenly became so flustered.
Then Lin Dai whispered into Li Rou's ear: "Whether the ginseng is real or not has nothing to do with me but with you. You said you wanted the ginseng to save people, but you lied. You obviously came here to kill... people!"
Li Rou was confused: What did she mean? Kill someone? How could she kill someone? She was clearly using it to redeem points to save herself, to prevent herself from being driven out of this body and save herself.
Li Rou said firmly: "I didn't."
Seeing that Li Rou was so selfish and only thought of herself, Lin Dai gritted her teeth and questioned: "You saved yourself from being driven out of this body, but why? This is not your body. In fact, you are an evil ghost. You killed the original Li Rou and took over her body, right?"
Lin Dai's words were like a bolt from the blue, making Li Rou dizzy.
Li Rou looked at Lin Dai in horror, her mind in a mess: She knows, she knows everything! Who is she? How could she have such a talent? Did she really travel through time like herself?
At this moment, the witch who was getting impatient said loudly: "Are you done talking? I am going to take action."
Li Rou, who was still in shock, became even more panicked. She thought that this witch really had real abilities, and she must be in danger.
She held He Qing's arm tightly, looked at him with tears in her eyes, and whispered, "Save me! I'll tell you everything you want to know. I promise I have no ill intentions."
He Qing felt Li Rou's helplessness and despair, and for some reason, a strong desire to protect her surged in his heart. He had clearly made a choice when he came back, but now he changed his mind.
He patted Li Rou's hand on his arm to comfort her, and scanned everyone present with a sharp gaze, especially the aggressive Lin Dai and the fortune-teller of unknown origin.
He protected Li Rou behind him and said sternly: "I'll see who dares to do anything wrong. Li Rou is my wife, a military wife. It's not your turn to judge what happens to her!" As expected of a soldier, his tone was firm and majestic.
Lin Dai rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Ah~ha!"
I continued to complain in my heart: The impact of the bloody plot is really strong. The male protagonist clearly chose Li Rou, but in the end he was still affected!
