Chapter 333 The truth or falsehood of the rules!
When Lu Xiaoli heard the voice, he stopped and quickly sorted out his thoughts and the information he had received.
She thought to herself, it turns out that her name in this place is also Xiaoli.
So, she calmed herself down and asked, "Where are my parents now? I'll go find them right away!"
The old lady pointed forward and said, "It was just over there. Go ahead! I have something else to do, so I can't go with you!"
Lu Xiaoli looked in the direction the aunt pointed, and saw a couple standing in the distance, with a tall boy standing next to them.
She quickened her pace and gradually approached those people.
As the distance got closer, Lu Xiaoli finally saw the tall boy's face clearly - it was Shi Yan!
As soon as Shi Yan saw Lu Xiaoli, he immediately ran up to her, grabbed her hand, and shouted excitedly: "Mom and Dad, look, my sister is back!"
The couple heard the shouting and turned around. When they saw Lu Xiaoli, their faces immediately showed anxiety and blame.
One of them couldn't help but scold, "You damn girl, how could you run around like that? I told you to go find your brother, and now you almost lost yourself!"
Faced with his parents' reprimand, Lu Xiaoli could only smile awkwardly and didn't dare to speak easily, for fear that he would accidentally say something wrong and be discovered.
Along the way, she and Shi Yan reviewed the information. She was the eldest daughter Xiao Li, and Shi Yan was the youngest son Xiao Shi Yan. This meant that after entering the game, they would use their own names and bodies!
The couple chatting in front are their cheap parents in this copy!
Shi Yan held Lu Xiaoli's soft little hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear.
From time to time, the corners of his mouth would slightly rise, revealing a bright and warm smile. That smile was like the warm spring sun, able to dispel all haze.
The cheap parents beside them saw the two siblings who were so close, and they couldn't help but smile at each other, and then joked:
"Oh my, our Xiaoyan is still the same as before, always loving to stick with her sister! Come home later, mom will make you a delicious and sumptuous meal!"
Hearing this, Shi Yan seemed to have received some kind of encouragement. He lowered his head slightly, put his mouth close to Lu Xiaoli's ear, and whispered:
"Sister, the character I set in this dungeon is a little brother who loves to cling to you. That's great!"
Lu Xiaoli was startled by Shi Yan's sudden approach, especially when his warm breath gently brushed against his ears. At that moment, a tingling sensation like an electric current quickly spread from his ears to his whole body, and even his tailbone couldn't help but tremble.
Her ears also turned red because of shyness, like ripe apples, so beautiful and tempting.
Shi Yan noticed Lu Xiaoli's ears that were burning red, and he smiled secretly in his heart, but he didn't say anything more. He just quietly held her hand and continued to walk forward.
After a while, they returned to their home. It was a somewhat old-looking house, and the small space was filled with a faint smell of fireworks.
The house is not big, just like the two-bedroom, one-living room brick house commonly seen in rural areas. Although it is simple, it is full of the flavor of life.
Seeing that the cheap dad walked into one of the bedrooms first, Lu Xiaoli understood and guessed that the other one should be her parents' bedroom.
So, she and Shi Yan looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then walked in cautiously and tiptoeing.
Sure enough, as they expected, there was a photo on the table in the room. The two children in the photo had sinister faces. They were exactly their brother and sister.
The two looked at each other silently, and no one said anything.
At this moment, the familiar and loud voice of my mother came from outside the house: "Children, come out and eat!"
Without saying a word, Shi Yan reached out and grabbed Lu Xiaoli's hand, then hurriedly ran out of the house.
After a while, they came to the small dining table and sat down.
The food in front of them was very simple, just a bowl of white rice and a plate of fragrant shredded potatoes.
However, on this seemingly ordinary dining table, there is a creepy rule hidden:
Rule seven clearly states that all the food cooked by your mother must be eaten, otherwise you will face the threat of death.
But is this rule true or false? It is difficult to judge at the moment.
Lu Xiaoli was feeling uneasy. Just as she was about to ask the system whether the food was safe to eat, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Shi Yan giving her a reassuring look.
Then, Shi Yan picked up the chopsticks without hesitation and started eating the rice in the bowl and the shredded potatoes on the plate in big mouthfuls.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaoli became extremely anxious and quickly reached out to stop Shi Yan.
But it was too late, Shi Yan had already put the food into his mouth.
Just as Lu Xiaoli was anxiously waiting for the possible terrible consequences, she was surprised to find that Shi Yan was safe and sound and there was no abnormality.
This means that the mysterious rule seven is true!
The adoptive parents sitting beside them were chatting casually, and occasionally they would secretly look at Shi Yan and Lu Xiaoli with a strange look, which seemed to have some deep meaning that was hard to understand.
After everyone finished eating, Mom smiled and said to them:
"Okay, kids, both of you should go back to your rooms and do your homework. We don't need your help cleaning up here."
Shi Yan nodded gently, then took Lu Xiaoli's hand again and walked quickly into the bedroom.
As soon as they stepped into the room, they couldn't wait to look for clues everywhere, hoping to uncover the truth behind this mysterious world as soon as possible.
The room was small and there weren't many things in it. Lu Xiaoli found a crumpled note in a book!
The two of them sat on the bed and opened it to read. They saw the words written on it:
The village chief is a big liar. There were cries coming from the back hill, but he said it was a giant monkey. But I saw one with its mouth rotted all the way behind its ears... Oh no, it's knocking on my window again. I'm scared!
Shi Yan fell into deep thought, his brain working rapidly, analyzing these rules one by one.
After careful consideration, Shi Yan came to the conclusion: It can be confirmed that Rule Seven is true.
A closer look reveals that there is a clear correspondence between Rule 3 and Rule 6, so they are likely to be correct as well.
As for Rule 5, we need to temporarily judge it as being in a state of pending authenticity. After all, just today, my parents were wearing white clothes, and this situation may become one of the key factors in judging the authenticity of this rule.
Rule four must be false, for the simple reason that the small note I just saw clearly indicated that the village chief was an out-and-out liar.
In this way, there is only one false rule left among all the rules.
Lu Xiaoli, who had been silently watching Shi Yan's thinking process, now had a glint of admiration in her eyes. She excitedly lit up her star-like eyes and praised him generously:
"Wow, Shi Yan, you are so amazing! Why didn't I think of so much?"
Hearing Lu Xiaoli's praise, Shi Yan couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. His ears instantly flushed and he lowered his head shyly without saying a word.
You know, for him, who is an introvert, speaking so many words in one breath is simply unprecedented.
After calming down a little, Shi Yan looked up at the clock on the wall. The hands pointed to one o'clock in the afternoon.
He turned to look at Lu Xiaoli, their eyes met, and they nodded in tacit understanding - it was still early, enough for them to go out and look for clues.
So they stood up and walked towards the door.
When he reached the door, Shi Yan stopped, turned to face his father who was reading the newspaper and his mother who was knitting, and shouted:
"My sister and I are out doing something, so we might be back late!"
Hearing their son's voice, the two parents smiled stiffly and mechanically like robots, then nodded in unison to indicate that they knew about the matter.
