Daring! She cheated in the thriller game

The little paper man moved slightly, then stood up from Yu Lan's palm and stretched.

Sneak in and listen to what they are talking about. Yu Lan silently recited to the little paper man, who immediately received Yu Lan's thoughts and crawled in through the crack in the door.

Yu Lan breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the cart to continue sitting.

Fortunately, she can still use the little paper man, but it's a little strange. It seems that not only her body has become smaller, but even the degree to which she can use her spiritual power has returned to her childhood state.

No way, I can't be so unlucky. Yu Lan's face froze for a moment. If this was the case, there would be less she could do.

Yu Lan thought in a conflicted manner, sitting on the cart with her legs hugged and a frown on her face.

Suddenly, the sunlight above her head seemed to be blocked by something. Yu Lan looked up and found a tall figure, whose face was covered tightly by a cloak. However, the faint fragrance coming from his body made Yu Lan confirm at a glance that this was the person.

How did she run into Erwin again!

Yu Lan stared at Erwin with eyes wide open in disbelief. Unexpectedly, the man took two steps back and said in a panic, "Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. Please don't call others out."

He just happened to pass by and just happened to make eye contact with the little girl. He really had no ill intentions!

Yu Lan felt like something was strange, and resisted the urge to roll her eyes and pointed to her throat.

"Neck, what's wrong?" Erwin was stunned and asked, "You can't speak?"

Yu Lan nodded. Yes, even if she wanted to call others, she couldn’t.

"Is that so..." Erwin murmured, looking down at Yulan.

Erwin: Does this kid have something to say? Strange, why do I feel like she looks familiar?

Yu Lan: Why is this person looking at her? Does he have something to say? But why doesn’t he speak?

The two looked at each other in silence for a long time. The more Erwin looked at him, the more he felt something was wrong. He felt like he had seen this child before, but he couldn't remember where.

Where did I see her?

At this time, Yu Lan also noticed something was wrong.

Wait, could it be that Erwin doesn't recognize her now?

Yu Lan tilted her head back and looked at the man in front of her. Because of the angle, half of the man's chin was exposed, his lips were slightly pursed, and a few strands of black hair hung by his cheeks, making his skin look even whiter.

Thinking that Erwin would not be able to recognize her current appearance, Yu Lan suddenly felt evil in her heart. She reached out and grabbed the long hair that was hanging down, wrapped it around her fingertips, and then gave him a well-behaved smile.

If Yu Lan could speak at this time, she would definitely say, "Brother, your hair smells so good", which would scare Erwin half to death.

Unfortunately, she can't speak now.

But even though he couldn't speak, Erwin was still frightened. He didn't expect the human cub to be so close to him. He grabbed his hair in panic and stammered, "Um... Miss, can you please let go? I have to go."

What answered him was Yu Lan's even bigger smile.

Hehehe, I won’t let go.

Listening to Erwin's flustered and slightly aggrieved tone, Yu Lan instantly felt refreshed. That's right, she felt uncomfortable if she didn't bully Erwin for a day.

There were footsteps not far away, and Erwin was really panicking. He just found out that the people in this village were somewhat hostile to him as an outsider. If they found out that he was in contact with a little girl, he would definitely be arrested as a weirdo.

Thinking of this, he took out a knife and said to Yu Lan apologetically, "I'm sorry."

The sharp knife slashed across, drawing a thin line in the air.

Erwin looked back at the back door of the tavern and left in a hurry.

Yu Lan looked at the hair in her hand and fell into deep thought. This guy is really... Hair is very important to them, but she didn't expect that Erwin would choose to cut off his hair.

The back door of the pub opened. Yu Lan came to her senses, put away the strand of hair, and looked at Uncle Aaron who was walking towards her.

The person following Uncle Aaron seemed to be the tavern owner. He didn't look very well, and it became even worse when he saw Yu Lan.

"Aaron, you should send Yulan away."

"If you say that again, I will never come here again." Uncle Aaron's face turned cold. He put the sack behind him on the cart and pushed the cart away in silence.

After returning to his house, Uncle Aaron silently put the things on the cart back into the warehouse. Yu Lan noticed that Uncle Aaron was in a bad mood, thought for a moment, then walked up and tugged at his clothes.

"Ah, Xiaoyu." Uncle Aaron came back to his senses and looked at Yulan apologetically: "Sorry, did I scare you?"

Yu Lan shook her head, pointed at herself, and then pointed outside.

"They..." Uncle Aaron hesitated for a long time and sighed.

"You have been troubled by this for a long time, right? Why do the people in the village hate you so much?" Uncle Aaron smiled, then sat on the chair, organized his words, and then slowly said: "In this case, I'll tell you. But I have to make it clear in advance that you have done nothing wrong."

It was a spring with very good weather, but the harvest that year was not good, so everyone was a little worried.

Uncle Aaron had driven away thieves when he was young and had a certain say in the village. At that time, someone wanted to go deep into the forest to hunt. Although the villagers thought it was dangerous, the village granary was about to run out of food, so there was no other way, so the village chief suggested that Uncle Aaron lead the team.

"Actually, I didn't want to agree to this at the time, but I went anyway." Uncle Aaron smiled, but his expression was somewhat resentful: "If only I could have stopped them at that time."

The village is located on the edge of the forest. Usually they hunt only on the outskirts and never go deep into the forest because there is a terrible legend there.

But there was really no other choice that year. A dozen young men, led by Uncle Aaron, went in with shotguns and axes. In the end, only Uncle Aaron came back, with a two or three-year-old child in his arms.

When the villagers saw Uncle Aaron, they immediately asked where the others had gone, but Uncle Aaron just shook his head sadly.

The young people did not listen to the advice and scattered everywhere. Later, he could not find where they went. They all disappeared in the forest. On the way back, Uncle Aaron saw a child lying on the river bank. He thought that the child upstream had accidentally drowned while playing in the water, but he did not expect that the child was still alive.

This child is Yu Lan.

Yu Lan didn't expect that she was picked up.

Uncle Aaron sighed and said, "I felt so guilty at the time. They didn't come back... The villagers were also very angry and even blamed you for it. They thought you were the jinx. It was because of you that the children disappeared and the crops in the village stopped growing."

"But Xiaoyu, you did nothing wrong, don't feel guilty about it."

Uncle Aaron took out a pipe from his waist bag, and just when he was about to light it up, he remembered that Yu Lan was there, so he put the pipe back awkwardly.

"You were still young at the time, and I was alone with no experience in raising children, so I went to find Roman. She was very kind to you, almost treating you as her own child. At that time, you refused to speak, and everyone thought you were too shy to speak. But later, when you were bullied and cried by other children, they found out that you were -"

Uncle Aaron suddenly came to his senses. He shouldn't have said this in front of Yu Lan. He smiled at Yu Lan apologetically: "Sorry, I didn't mean anything else."

Yu Lan shook her head. She didn't mind, but just felt a little depressed.

"Later I went into the forest to look for them, but I still couldn't find them. I think they must have been captured by Prince Linton..."

Prince Linton? Yu Lan raised her head and looked at Aaron curiously, but unfortunately he refused to say anything.

This incident was not a good memory for either of them. After eating dinner in silence, they went back to their rooms to sleep.

Yu Lan lay on the bed and took a short nap. In the middle of the night, a pair of cold hands woke her up.

Yu Lan opened her eyes dazedly and just as she was about to speak, her throat felt dry and she couldn't speak at all.

[Hello, Sister Meng.] Yu Lan reluctantly turned to communicate with Mei Qimeng about the contract.

"Not feeling threatened around here, are you going out tonight?"

Yu Lan nodded. She didn't find anything wrong today. This place seemed like a peaceful village, but she still had to go out and investigate.

Where should I start the investigation? Yu Lan thought for a moment, and at this moment, there was a knock on the window.

The two turned around and found a little paper man stuck in the gap of the window, struggling but unable to get out.

Yu Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she got out of bed, opened the window, and let the little paper man out. The little paper man stood up, shook off the dust on his body, then put his hands on his hips and raised his head.

Yu Lan nodded the little paper figurine’s head perfunctorily and said, “Okay, okay, you are the best.”

"Whose soul is in here?" Mei Qimeng also nodded at the little paper man's head and asked curiously.

The little paper man rubbed Mei Qimeng's fingers with his head, then collapsed to the ground with his hands covering his chest, looking like "my life is worth it".

【Ahem.】Yu Lan cleared her throat and did not answer the question.

In fact, this little paper man is a trace of Yu Lan's will. If there is a ghost stuffed inside, there will be emoticons on the face of the little paper man.

[It has been in the tavern for a day, so it should have heard something useful. I'll take a look first.] After saying that, Yu Lan retracted her will, and the little paper man turned into a motionless piece of white paper.

After a long time, Yu Lan opened her eyes and roughly guessed the background of the story.

The first place the little paper man went to was the tavern kitchen. At that time, the tavern owner and Uncle Aaron were there. They chatted for a while and then began to discuss the hooded man who appeared inexplicably.

According to what they said, a man of unknown origin also appeared in the village a few years ago. After that, the crops in the village began to die inexplicably, and then young people disappeared. Uncle Aaron picked up Yu Lan.

The tavern owner was very worried that the same situation would happen next time, and he wanted to drive the hooded man away, but his move was very generous, which made the tavern owner feel embarrassed.

Uncle Aaron told the tavern owner not to worry about it, he would go to meet the hooded man when the time comes, and then they would leave the tavern.

After that, the little paper man did not go back, but stayed in the corner of the tavern and listened to other guests chatting, but unfortunately most of the conversations were meaningless.

For example, their king has taken in some new beauty, some prince or princess has gone missing, and war has broken out on the border with a neighboring country not far away.

Yu Lan opened her eyes and sighed softly. It seemed that she had gained nothing.

Mei Qimeng looked at the small Yu Lan sighing, and moved her fingers slightly. She resisted the urge to pinch Yu Lan's face and looked away: "So what should we do now?"

[The only thing that concerns me is the Prince Linton that Uncle Aaron mentioned. Other than that, I haven't heard of any strange things happening in the village... Let's go out for a patrol tonight and get familiar with the terrain.]

Yu Lan looked at her door. She couldn't go through the front door because her room was at the innermost part. If she went out from there, she would most likely be discovered by Uncle Aaron.

All that's left is...

Yu Lan looked at the window through which the paper man had just come in and sighed helplessly.

Is the only way to climb out the window? Yu Lan looked at her hands. If she hadn't become smaller, she could still climb out the window. This place is not high, just the second floor. But the problem now is that her hands and feet are short, so she can't climb out at all.

"Tsk." A sarcastic laugh sounded, and Yu Lan knew who it was without even thinking.

She looked coldly at the shadow beside her. A black mist drifted out from there and condensed into a human figure.

Li Shixi glanced at Yu Lan, then slowly floated in the air, so that in the end Yu Lan could only look up at him with great effort.

"I never thought that the young master of the Yu family has this side."

Yu Lan took a deep breath and rubbed her neck.

She silently took out a piece of talisman paper and a brush from her backpack, quickly drew a talisman on it, and then hit Li Shixi when he wasn't paying attention.

The talisman took effect instantly when it touched Li Shixi. Black mist rose up and Li Shixi looked at his hand in surprise.

Looking at Li Shixi who had turned into a child, Yu Lan laughed unceremoniously.

[I saw that you were quite envious, so I also made you smaller. Oh, by the way, I think you must also be envious of my inability to speak, so I also added a mute effect to you. Don't worry, it will last for a total of three days, so enjoy these three days of returning to a simple life! ]

After saying that, Yu Lan immediately unilaterally severed the contractual connection between her and Li Shixi, so that even if he wanted to scold her, he had no place to do so.

Li Shixi was so angry that he was shaking all over. He just came to Yulan's place to eat as usual, but he didn't expect to be tricked by Yulan.

However, Yu Lan also guessed the purpose of Li Shixi's visit, so she lit a stick of incense for him and left the room.
