While Zhao Xun was reading the announcement, he was listening to the various complaints from the small town residents around him.

This witch deserves to die!

I heard that witches can eat children. We must protect the children at home!

Why would such a strange thing appear and destroy our peaceful life? It makes me afraid to go out at night.

I don't know how she escaped. She was obviously tied up tightly.

That strange wind must be the witch's witchcraft!

Zhao Xun turned to look at the young girl in a long coarse skirt standing next to him and asked, What's going on with this witch?

The girl glanced at Zhao Xun and saw that Zhao Xun was handsome. Her cheeks turned slightly red uncontrollably: You...are you a foreigner?

Yes, I am a wandering artist. Zhao Xun opened his mouth to make up, I passed by here and saw this announcement, and I was a little curious about what happened.

The girl introduced patiently: A witch was captured in our town a while ago. She was originally going to be burned at the stake this evening. But who knew that the stage was set up and the witch was tied to the rack, and suddenly she was scratched for a while. The strange wind of sand and gravel captivated everyone's eyes. When the wind stopped and everyone could see, the witch was gone.

Yes, yes, the middle-aged fat woman on the side agreed, The security department sent everyone to search the entire town, but the witch has not been found yet!

How can a witch do witchcraft so easily for ordinary people to find her? Another skinny woman also came to talk.

People from the security team were able to catch witches before, and they can definitely do it this time! The middle-aged fat woman glared at the thin woman unconvinced, Are you questioning the ability of the security team?

The skinny woman choked and was speechless.

The security will definitely be able to catch the witch, it just takes a little time. The young girl hurriedly smoothed things over. In the past few days, we have tried not to go out at night, so as to ensure our own safety without causing trouble to the security.

Little Aiyi is right. The middle-aged fat woman smiled, Let's go, let's go, it's almost completely dark, we can't stay outside any longer.

Wait a minute, Zhao Xun said at the right time, I'm a wandering artist and don't have much money on me. I'm afraid I can't afford to stay in a hotel in a small town. I wonder if one of you can let me stay for two days? I'll pay some fees. , or work-related deductions are also acceptable.”

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to scratch his hair sheepishly.

My family can't do that. The skinny woman was the first to refuse. If I bring a man back, my husband will beat me to death.

After saying that, she left in a hurry without even saying hello.

Neither can I. The middle-aged fat woman looked at Zhao Xun regretfully, My house is too small. My husband, my three children, and I all feel crowded. There is really no way to make room for you.

She waved to Zhao Xun before reluctantly leaving.

The young girl who stayed behind, Xiao Ai, lowered her head and looked at her toes: I... I happen to have an empty bed at home... If you don't mind, you can stay at my place.

That's great. Zhao Xun happily walked to Xiao Ai, Thank you for taking me in.

No...you're welcome. Xiao Ai's voice became lower and lower, and his ears turned pink.

Without saying anything more, she turned around and took Zhao Xun back to her home.

Zhao Xun looked at the surrounding environment as he walked.

Whether it is the Fountain Square, the clothing of the residents, or the streets and other buildings in the entire Neri town, there is a sense of antiquity.

There isn't even a single electric light here, and it's pitch black outside after dark.

Coupled with the witch setting, all this is very consistent with the background of another district far away from the tenth district four to five hundred years ago.

That century known as the Dark Ages.

The only thing that doesn't fit is probably that the residents here speak the same language as him.

But games are not archeology, and they are not so rigorous as to reproduce the entire era one-to-one. This is normal.

If you don't understand the language, you won't be able to play the game.

Soon, Xiao Ai took Zhao Xun into her home.

Xiao Ai lit the oil lamp and barely illuminated the dark room.

The house is not big, with only two rooms. The outside room is used for dining and entertaining guests, and the inside room is the bedroom.

There were two beds in the bedroom, separated by a curtain. When the curtain was closed, only the bed outside could be seen.

That's my parents' bed over there. Xiao Ai pointed to the bed outside and said to Zhao Xun, If you don't mind, you can sleep there.

The bed was very simple, and the sheets and blankets on it were patched, but it was very clean and tidy.

Okay. Zhao Xun is not picky about accommodation conditions, as long as there is a place to lie down.

Where are your parents? he asked Xiao Ai, I slept in their bed, what if they come back?

They passed away a month ago. Xiao Ai's voice was a little low, I am the only one left at home.

Sorry. Zhao Xun showed an apologetic expression.

It's okay. Xiao Ai shook his head and then smiled, It's been a month and I have cheered up.

She put the oil lamp on the bedside table and said to Zhao Xun: By the way, you must never go out at night. My parents were killed by witches when they went out at night.

Zhao Xun was a little surprised: Did you see it with your own eyes?

No. Xiao Ai said in a matter-of-fact tone, The security people said that my parents were killed. But our town has always been peaceful, and the residents have good relations. This will never happen. A murderous situation. Therefore, it must have been killed by a witch.

Even if you are a witch, you shouldn't kill people for no reason, right? Zhao Xun deliberately asked in a confused tone.

Witches know witchcraft. Doesn't witchcraft often require sacrifices? She must have used some witchcraft to sacrifice my parents. At this point, Xiao Ai looked a little angry, Witches really deserve to die! I hope the security personnel will catch her as soon as possible and burn her to death to avenge my parents!

Zhao Xun thought for a few seconds and asked: You just said that your parents passed away a month ago. So, the witch has been in your town for a long time?

Yes, Xiao Ai nodded, She has been lurking in our town, pretending to be an ordinary person... This witch deserves to die!

At the end of her sentence, she couldn't help but become angry again.

But in front of Zhao Xun, she was embarrassed to curse the witch a thousand times in her heart.

You said that witches have been lurking in the town, Zhao Xun grasped the key point, So the witch is also a resident of your town and grew up here?

Thanks for the 500-coin reward [it’s the Sanxian stuffing]

If I remember correctly, you seemed to be in the last book too. I was so touched. I didn’t expect that I also have an old reader. QAQ
