Daring! She cheated in the thriller game

After holding her for a while, Roman put Yu Lan down and walked on the road holding her hand.

There were some people sitting and chatting in front of the houses on the roadside. When they saw Yu Lan, they stopped talking instantly, stared at her, and discussed her in a low voice with others after she left.

People who practice cultivation have acute five senses. Although her body has shrunk, Yu Lan could only hear some of it clearly, but that was enough.

"It's that unlucky kid again. Roman isn't afraid of bad luck."

"I don't know why Aaron wanted to keep her here. Wouldn't it be better to just throw her into the forest?"

"..."

The whispered discussions reached her ears. Although Yu Lan knew that this was just a story script, it still made her feel very uncomfortable.

At this time, Roman rubbed Yu Lan's head and smiled gently: "Don't listen to them, Xiao Yu, you didn't do anything wrong."

Roman looked like he knew something. Yu Lan opened her mouth and found that her throat suddenly became very dry, making her unable to speak.

This is how the same thing?

Seeing Yu Lan's hesitant expression, Roman sighed and rubbed Yu Lan's head again.

poor child.

Yu Lan didn’t know what Roman was thinking. She was thinking, this copy not only turned her into a child, but also made her mute?

The plot is arranged. Yu Lan comforted herself in her heart, fortunately she was not unable to move, otherwise she would be doomed.

Not long after Roman led Yu Lan for a walk, they stopped in front of a small house. Judging from the geographical location, Yu Lan guessed that this was in the middle of the village, and the person living there should be someone with a lot of say in the village.

“Uncle Aaron, Uncle Aaron!” Roman knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.

"Isn't Uncle Aaron at home?" Luo Man supported his hand in confusion and turned to look at Yu Lan: "Xiao Yu, why don't you come to my house first? I'm afraid it's not safe for you to be alone at home."

Yu Lan thought about it and felt that Roman probably knew what had happened to her in the past, so she agreed after thinking about it.

“That’s good.” Roman smiled and said, “My home is nearby, come with me.”

Yu Lan followed Roman obediently, but her short legs made it difficult for her to walk fast, so she subconsciously grabbed the hem of Roman's skirt.

Roman was stunned when he noticed his skirt was being pulled, and a bigger smile appeared on his face: “Oh, Xiaoyu, you are really.”

Yu Lan's face turned red. When she was a child, she also grabbed her mother's skirt when she couldn't walk fast. Her mother thought Yu Lan was too heavy and refused to hold her. Yu Lan was too small to hold her mother's hand, so she could only hold the hem of her skirt.

But even so, she still couldn't keep up with her mother's overly lively pace.

Her mother even felt that Yu Lan had wrinkled her skirt.

She is really my mother. Thinking of the past, Yu Lan subconsciously smiled, feeling a little nostalgic. She didn't know how her mother was doing now, and whether she had won the Best Actress award.

The village looked quite big, and it took about ten minutes to walk from the river to Uncle Aaron's house. When Roman took Yu Lan to her house, they passed by a tavern. Yu Lan looked inside curiously, but found that the people inside didn't look happy when they saw Yu Lan.

All right. Yu Lan withdrew her gaze calmly and followed Roman.

After a while, Roman stopped and opened the door of her house.

Roman's house was very clean, and there were several sheds behind her house for livestock.

Roman smiled and moved two chairs out to the door. "Let's sit outside for a while. Uncle Aaron should be going hunting in the forest. He will pass by my house on his way back."

Yu Lan had no objection to this and nodded obediently.

Roman was not idle after returning home. He took out needle and thread and started knitting a sweater.

“Winter is almost here.” Roman sighed, his face looking a little lonely: “Actually, I brought you here for some selfish reasons… My husband and son went to the city. They said they wanted to make a living in the city, but three years have passed and they haven’t come back.”

"Although you often send me letters." Roman laughed, but he couldn't hide the loneliness in his tone: "But living alone is still a bit lonely, Xiaoyu, I hope you can accompany me for a while."

Yu Lan looked at Roman for a long time and nodded gently.

Yu Lan couldn't speak at this time, and Roman didn't want to touch on Yu Lan's sad things, so he didn't say anything. The two of them sat quietly in the yard, basking in the sun and enjoying the quiet afternoon.

Taking advantage of this time, Yu Lan looked at her taskbar.

Although there is no system, the task bar is still updated. The main task at this time reads: Survive until the end of three stories (0/3), and there is nothing else, which is very concise.

Yu Lan sighed helplessly. She had no background story and didn't know what her identity was. This made things a bit difficult for her. She decided to just take it one step at a time.

Children always get sleepy very quickly, and Yu Lan couldn't help but doze off while sitting. Roman noticed this and said with a smile, "It's okay, go ahead and sleep if you want. I'll wake you up when Uncle Aaron comes back."

No, although Roman had no ill intentions, she was not used to sleeping in front of strangers, and it would be dangerous. Yu Lan pulled Roman's clothes, shook her head, and then stood up.

She looked around, picked up the broom in the corner and made a sweeping gesture, then tilted her head and looked at Roman inquiringly.

"Are you going to help me clean?" Roman looked at Yu Lan, who was not even as tall as the broom, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, then please ask Xiao Yu to help me sweep the fallen leaves in the yard. Autumn is here, and there are a lot of fallen leaves."

Yu Lan nodded, and started sweeping with an awkward motion. She couldn't fall asleep now, so she should do something to wake herself up.

She originally wanted to walk around the village to see if she could find out anything, but she was still a child, not to mention a child hated by the villagers, so she couldn't ask anything.

It seems that we can only act at night or ask the players.

But...along the way, she didn't see any other players. Could it be that she was the only player in the dungeon? Or maybe the other players had also turned into children, so she didn't meet them.

Yu Lan was thinking in her heart, and suddenly she felt as if something was coming. She looked up and saw a hooded person walking behind the fence. The fence was covered with plants, and Yu Lan was still a child, so she couldn't see what the person looked like. She could only see the tip of the hood moving.

No, why is this person walking without making any sound?

Yu Lan wondered doubtfully, could this person be a player?

Just when Yu Lan was confused, Auntie Roman suddenly pulled her from behind and said nervously, "Xiao Yu, go back to the house, quickly!"

Yu Lan looked at the tip of the hood getting closer and closer to the gate. She wanted to see what this person looked like and whether Roman knew him. In this case, if this person was a player, Yu Lan could also go to this player to make a deal.

But the expression on Roman's face seemed that he was very afraid of this person. Yu Lan had no choice but to go back into the house.

As soon as Roman closed the door, the hooded man arrived at the gate. He knocked politely but did not speak.

Roman's body stiffened, he turned back cautiously, walked to the gate of the courtyard and talked to the hooded man.

Although Yu Lan was driven back into the house, she couldn't help being very curious! Although there was a window in the house, it was a bit high, and Yu Lan could only barely reach it by standing on tiptoe.

Without Roman's knowledge, a head was sneaking behind the windowsill, watching their backs and trying to hear what they were talking about.

"I am a traveler passing through here. Are you the only one in your family?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly waved his hand: "Sorry, that's not what I meant... I just want to stay for a while, I'll pay you."

Although the man's face couldn't be seen clearly because of the hood, his voice was gentle, which made people curious about what kind of person was under the hood.

Luo Man did not let down her guard. She held the broom tightly in her hand and said, "It is not convenient for you to stay overnight at my house. There is a tavern not far ahead. You can stay there."

The hooded man nodded slightly, "Okay, thank you."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to sense a curious gaze. Looking behind Roman, he saw a small head popping out of the window of the house, with big eyes looking at him curiously.

Children? He thought to himself, no wonder this woman didn't want to let him in, his outfit was indeed quite suspicious, and if there were children at home, it would be even more impossible for her to let him in.

But why, when he looked into the child's eyes, did he feel an eerie sense of familiarity?

He didn't know any kid... He thought doubtfully in his heart and pulled his hood down: "Well, I'll take my leave first."

With that, he turned and left, heading in the direction Roman had pointed.

After the tip of the hood could no longer be seen behind the fence, Yulan walked out of the house and looked at Roman worriedly.

Roman didn't know what he was thinking at this moment. He looked at the hooded man's back with great vigilance, but there was also a barely perceptible trace of fear.

"Ah, Xiaoyu." Roman suddenly came back to his senses, smiled and bent down to touch her head: "You have to remember, when you meet strangers in the future, don't make eye contact with them, especially those wearing hoods."

Yu Lan nodded absentmindedly. It seemed that something had happened.... But now there was only one thing that mattered to her most.

Isn't that hooded man Erwin? Why is he in this instance?

No, no, no, now is not the time to think about this. Yu Lan tilted her head in confusion, as if she didn’t understand what Roman meant.

Roman looked a little embarrassed, as if he didn't know how to start. At this time, a hoarse voice sounded.

"Roman!"

Roman looked up and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw who it was: "Uncle Aaron!"

Hearing the man's name, Yu Lan curiously stuck her head out to see, and saw a man with half-white hair and a vertical scar on his face pulling a trailer towards them.

"Xiao Yu, Uncle Aaron is back." Roman gently pushed Yu Lan's back and motioned her to come over.

This Uncle A'long should be the one who adopted her in the plot. Thinking of this, Yu Lan trotted out and grabbed one of Uncle A'long's sleeves.

Aaron was a little overwhelmed by Yu Lan's sudden closeness. He stopped in a panic, touched Yu Lan's head soothingly, and then looked at Roman with a serious expression: "What's going on? Did someone bully Xiao Yu?"

Yu Lan looked at the two of them in confusion, she just thought that Aaron was the one who raised her, so there should be no problem for her to express her closeness, but she didn't expect that Uncle Aaron would think she was being bullied?

Could it be that she originally wouldn't get close to others?

Roman frowned and sighed: "I saw Xiaoyu by the river today. She must have been chased away by those kids..."

"Those little brats." Uncle Aaron snorted angrily, "They always bully Xiao Yu when I'm not around. Really..."

Roman sighed. The people in the village were not very friendly to Yu Lan, let alone the children who would read the faces of adults. The result of no one caring about them was that they became even more aggressive.

“One more thing…” Roman frowned and looked in the direction where Erwin disappeared: “Just now a hooded stranger came to me to ask for directions. I’m a little worried…”

"Stranger?" Uncle Aaron also frowned when he heard this.

"I see. I'll go check it out." Uncle Aaron picked up Yu Lan and put her on the cart. "Let's go. Let's go back."

There were some tools, chopped firewood, and a shot deer in the car, which was quite big.

Judging from the cloudy eyes, it must have died not long ago. Yu Lan subconsciously began to judge the deer's death, then suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Uncle Aaron in front of her.

He was facing away from Yu Lan, so he probably didn't see what she did just now. Fortunately, he didn't see it, otherwise it would be a bit creepy for a child to be so interested in a dead body.

Yu Lan huddled quietly in the corner, deciding to pretend to be a well-behaved mute.

Uncle Aaron's house was not far from Roman's. When passing by the tavern, Uncle Aaron stopped, put the deer on his shoulders, and said to Yu Lan, "I'm going to give this deer to the tavern owner for processing. You wait here for a while."

In fact, Uncle Aaron was worried about leaving a child outside alone, but unfortunately, no one in the village liked Yu Lan. Uncle Aaron was afraid that Yu Lan would hear some unpleasant words after bringing her in, so he had to leave her outside.

Yu Lan had no objection to this. Uncle Aaron smiled friendly. The scar on his face looked a little hideous, but Yu Lan didn't feel scared.

Uncle Aaron walked into the back door of the pub, and he didn't come back after a long while. Yu Lan was a little concerned, and after thinking for a while, she got off the cart and quietly walked in through the back door of the pub because she was small and not easy to be noticed.

There is a small courtyard behind the back door, where two horses and some livestock are kept, and in front is the tavern's kitchen.

There were chopping sounds coming from the kitchen, and mixed with voices. Yu Lan had an idea, took out a small paper figure, and blew into it.
