Even after more than 1000 years, An Zhengchu still knows that "idiot" is not a good word.The problem is, Heng Dao's tone and attitude didn't seem to be insulting him, but it seemed... a bit of intimate reprimand.

An Zhengchu was a little embarrassed.

Don't overthink it! !It must be a cultural difference!He explained to himself in his heart.

Hengdao continued: "Have you ever seen someone play games with your own appearance? Are you stupid?" He was almost defeated by An Zhengchu.

His rather excited reaction made An Zhengchu also worried: "Can't you use your own appearance?" Is there any taboo?Or... "Is there any regulation or regulation saying that the original appearance cannot be used?"

"That's not enough." Hengdao explained to him angrily, "There are many vendettas in the game. Although the star field is vast, you may meet your enemies in the game on the road one day. Some people can't tell you apart in the real game. , it’s easy to cause accidents.” As for what happened, it’s self-evident.

When holographic online games first emerged, such incidents of seeking revenge appeared endlessly.Gradually, except for life players or young mavericks, everyone agreed to play games without their own appearance. Even if they don’t want to change too much, they will make some more or less adjustments.

I've seen people making themselves ugly, but I've never seen people come up to play games as they are.This guy……

"Are you really 24 years old?" The behavior of using your original appearance is really... naive!

Heng Dao squeezed the space between his eyebrows, and began to worry about this little idiot's real life.

"Are you just worried about this?" An Zhengchu didn't mind what he said about his age being despised, but he was relieved, "That's okay. I won't go out anyway."

Hengdao was startled, and looked at him with a frown: "What do you mean?" Who doesn't go out?Even professional players will always go out sometimes. "Even if you don't go out, what will your friends and relatives think if you offend someone in the game, get photographed and videotaped, and then slander and spread rumors on the Internet?"

An Zhengchu was stunned for a while, because of his obvious eagerness and concern.

He pursed his lips, smiled wryly, and still shook his head: "It's really fine, don't worry, it doesn't matter if I use the original appearance." As long as it doesn't violate laws and regulations, he is not afraid to use the original appearance.

In this world, no one knows him.He... has nowhere to go, no acquaintance.

He used his original appearance just to prove that...there is still a person like him in this world.

Hengdao originally wanted to reprimand him, but he smiled reluctantly at him—he didn't understand what the purpose of drinking a glass of dirty wine was, but he no longer wanted to reprimand him for it.Although An Zhengchu had a faint smile on his face at this moment, it seemed as if...

Almost like crying.

Hengdao seemed to be caught by something in his heart, and was about to ask, but An Zhengchu looked down at Li Zhuling who had finished eating the buns in his arms: "Do you want more?"

Li Zhuling shook her head.

An Zhengchu folded up the veil that he had just wiped his tears and nose, wiped his hands with the clean side, and then picked up a bottle of fruit juice from the table: "Come, drink some fruit juice to relieve the tiredness."

The porcelain vase is less than the size of a palm, and children can hold it firmly.

Li Zhuling took it as she said, but held it in her hands without drinking, and only looked at him with red and swollen eyes.

An Zhengchu understood, and said softly, "Let's leave after eating, shall we?"

Only then did Li Zhuling pursed her lips, lowered her head and began to sip from the mouth of the bottle.

Heng Dao quietly watched their movements, and couldn't bear to bring up the matter of appearance again.He glanced at the half bun in An Zhengchu's hand, and frowned: "Hurry up and eat."

An Zhengchu smiled at him, bowed his head and began to eat the buns.

***

After eating steamed stuffed buns, An Zhengchu took Xiao Zhuling to the backyard to wash his hands and wipe his face, Hengdao followed to collect his clothes and change into them.

Then, the three stepped out of the bamboo house and went to the village chief's house.

Along the way, An Zhengchu walked slowly while holding Li Zhuling with his left hand, and introduced to them: "This is called Jiyuan Village. According to the village chief, there are four distinct seasons here, and each season's change starts here, so this place has been around since a long time ago. It is called Jiyuan Village."

Heng Dao walked on his right, turning to look at him from time to time.Xiao Zhuling was still a child after all, after hearing his introduction, she looked around curiously.

An Zhengchu smiled slightly, and pointed to the northwest direction of the village: "There is a big river coming out of the mountains in the north, bypassing our village and going south. It's a big lake. It's summer now, and the lake is full of lotus flowers, it's very beautiful, I'll take you to see it later?"

Li Zhuling looked in that direction eagerly, pursed her lips, looked away, and shook her head at him apologetically.

An Zhengchu secretly sighed, stroked the top of his hair: "It's okay, there will always be a chance, we'll look at it later."

Hengdao glanced at the NPC lettering on the child's head, then looked away lightly, and continued to stare at An Zhengchu.

An Zhengchu had been stared at for so long, so he was naturally aware of it.

Hengdao was just listening to his introduction.An Zhengchu told himself this in his heart, but he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.He turned his head and pretended to continue introducing softly to Li Zhuling: "This is an apricot tree, the fruit on it is still small, and it will be ready to eat in ten days or so..."

Hengdao glanced at his reddened ear tips, feeling somewhat happy in his heart.It's okay to be embarrassed.

The village is not big, so we soon arrived at the village head's house at the east end of the village.

Through the fence gate, one can see an old man with gray temples bending over to feed the chickens in the yard.

An Zhengchu led Li Zhuling to the gate of the fence, clasped five fingers, and knocked on the small wooden door: "Grandpa Zhang."

The village chief with the translucent characters of "Village Chief Zhang Yu" on his head raised his head: "Hey, it's Ah Jiu." He threw out the grains in his hands, clapped his hands, and walked over to open the wooden door, "Why is this? Time to come? Aren’t you going to dig wild vegetables in the woods?”

Because he was holding Li Zhuling by his side, An Zhengchu simply bent over to salute: "Grandpa Zhang, excuse me, I have encountered something, and I would like to ask your old man for a favor."

Zhang Yu glanced at Li Zhuling, then looked straight at Hengdao who had a strong sense of presence, and looked him up and down.

An Zhengchu hurriedly explained to him: "Grandpa Zhang, this is my friend, and his name is Hengdao." Then he smiled at Hengdao in a comforting manner, "This is the village head of our village, surnamed Zhang." He lowered his voice, "Just call him Grandpa Zhang with me."

Does this count him among his own?Hengdao laughed: "Don't be nervous." NPCs have always been xenophobic, he has long been used to it, and it is rare to see a glass of dirty wine.Turning back, he nodded towards Zhang Yu, "Mr. Zhang, I'm going to strike down the knife." Neither humble nor overbearing, even a little alienated.

An Zhengchu thought that Heng Dao was too embarrassed to get close.

Hearing that Heng Dao was greeting in Chinese and that he was An Zhengchu's friend, Zhang Yu's expression changed a lot.

An Zhengchu patted Li Zhuling's hand: "Zhuling, his name is Grandpa Zhang."

Li Zhuling faced the rather serious Zhang Yu, she hid behind An Zhengchu, and said timidly, "Grandpa Zhang."

After such a round, Zhang Yu already had a smile on his face: "Good boy." He opened the wooden door wide, stretched out his hand to lead them into the house, "Come on, let's talk in the house." After that, he took the lead to lead the way inside.

An Zhengchu hurriedly led Xiao Zhuling to follow.Hengdao was at the end.

After entering the main room, several people sat down in sequence.

An Zhengchu patted Li Zhuling's head, and roughly described what happened today from front to back.Hearing what happened today again, Li Zhuling who seemed to understand half understood began to sob again.

Zhang Yu sighed: "The world is difficult and dangerous..." He looked at Li Zhuling affectionately, then turned to An Zhengchu, "Then what do you want me to do for you? Our Jiyuan Village has always lived in seclusion and has neither official soldiers nor strength. Such things as revenge and hatred are absolutely unacceptable."

An Zhengchu quickly shook his head: "Grandpa Zhang misunderstood." He paused, and said with some guilt, "I just want the village chief to help find Xiao Zhuling's other relatives."

Although he treats NPCs like living people, the transparent font above the NPCs will always remind him that this is a game.As a player, it is impossible for him to bring an NPC child with him all the time.Abandoning it, he couldn't do it, so he had to compromise and find the rest of his relatives or destination for him.

Zhang Yu frowned: "Dear one?" He glanced at Li Zhuling again, and immediately understood, "Do you have any clues?"

An Zhengchu hurriedly told Li Zhuling's father's name.

"Li Jueming?!" Zhang Yu's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked, "But Li Jueming who is a medical practitioner?"

An Zhengchu was startled: "Not very clear, but..." He looked at Hengdao.

Hengdao understood, took out the contents of the storage bag, and put them on the table.

An Zhengchu pushed the things in front of Zhang Yu: "These are the belongings of Zhuling's parents."

Two cloth bags of personal clothes, an old small medicine box, a few medicine books, and a money bag that turned white from washing.

As soon as he saw the medicine box, Zhang Yu felt struck by lightning.He grabbed a book with trembling hands, opened the title page and went straight to the lower right corner——

"Jade Ming..." Tears flowed all over the place in an instant, "Why did you just leave..."

Li Zhuling was already sad, seeing this situation, she was so excited that she burst into tears.

An Zhengchu and Hengdao looked at each other.Looks like there is a clue...

An Zhengchu didn't know whether to be happy or worried, so he could only start to appease the old and the young one after another.

It was not easy for Zhang Yu to calm down.He touched Li Zhuling's head with shaking hands: "Your father used to study medicine in our village, and he was a high-spirited young man back then...I never thought that his son would grow up so big in the blink of an eye...Sorry, I I didn't recognize you, obviously you are so similar to your father..."

When An Zhengchu heard the words, he asked cautiously: "Grandpa Zhang, Mr. Li and Mr. Li studied medicine in our village? Did they learn from Grandpa Sun?" The grandpa he was talking about was naturally Sun Yuande, the only doctor in the village.

Zhang Yu nodded, and said with a sad face: "I don't know how sad Lao Sun will be when he knows this."

An Zhengchu still wanted to ask again, but Heng Dao pressed his hand, and said straight to the point: "Dare to ask Village Chief Zhang, but do you know where Li Jueming's background is and where are his relatives?" Thinking about other things.

Zhang Yu sighed, and looked at Li Zhuling affectionately: "Of course." His face turned serious, "Ajiu, a righteous man of Hengdao," since he heard that Hengdao saved the lives of Li Zhuling and An Zhengchu, he has no regard for Hengdao Then he showed his searching eyes, and now he was called a righteous man, "Li Jueming has a lot of connections with my Jiyuan Village. Since he has been brutally murdered, we are duty-bound to follow up."

An Zhengchu nodded: "Grandpa Zhang just give orders."

Zhang Yu wiped away his tears: "First, the murderer must be found out and brought to justice. Second," he looked at Li Zhuling who was sobbing from time to time, "send Xiao Zhuling back to the Li family in Jiuqu City."

【Ding!Whether to accept the mission: Find the murderer who killed Li Jueming and bring him to justice. 】

【Ding!Whether to accept the mission: Escort Li Zhuling back to the Li family in Jiuqu City. 】

The long-lost system sound rang in his ears, An Zhengchu looked at Heng Dao, and Heng Dao, who had also received the mission prompt, nodded to him.

Only then did An Zhengchu click to confirm.He has self-knowledge, and with his level and attributes, it is impossible to complete any revenge missions or escort missions, and Hengdao is the main force of the missions.

When both of them took over the task, Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "The sea of ​​people is vast, so there is no rush for revenge. Little Zhuling..." He glanced at An Zhengchu, "Let's leave little Zhuling to my grandson and me for the time being. "

An Zhengchu was at a loss: "Ah? Didn't you mean to send him back?"

Hengdao also frowned.

Zhang Yu glanced at the two of them, and snorted coldly: "It's nothing more than a righteous man of Hengdao, you don't even look at you, you can't even catch a chicken, and you will be eaten by wild animals before you go out of the village, how do you send it?"

Hengdao: "Puff—cough cough."

An Zhengchu: ...

The author has something to say:

An Zhengchu: ... Are you laughing at me?

Hengdao: ...No, I just have a sore throat.

An Zhengchu squinted.

Looking up at the sky.
