Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 312 Tell the truth
Something was lost. What was lost?
The humans in the courtyard quickly turned their attention to Bai Su. The black-haired young man didn't know what he was thinking. He seemed to think about it for a while, shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.

I don’t know, Bai Su responded with his mouth.

In fact, he knew what was lost or stolen in the village. According to this time point, it was no surprise that it was the small box containing the bones in the ancestral hall.

However, is this too fast?
How long has he been "back"?

The minute hand had turned less than eight times. He had just seen the other three people coming back. After saying a few words, people from the village came to the door.

No, they are not necessarily human beings, nor are they necessarily villagers in normal human form.

Bai Su and the other humans looked at each other, and the two of them, who were more or less injured, made a few hand gestures and supplemented them with eye contact.

Bai Su realized it for a moment, but he didn't quite understand it, but he still made a circle with his index finger and thumb, and raised the remaining fingers to indicate an OK attitude.

So Xia Chengyin and Tang Nuo helped each other and walked in. After walking two steps, they found Gao Tianyi standing motionless in the yard, and they had the urge to stay and have a kick.

The two of them quickly turned back, each with one hand, grabbed the minor and entered the house.

Now, the only person left in the yard was the black-haired young man standing under the eaves outside the door.

Bai Su picked up the umbrella placed against the wall. Now that there were other humans in the house, he couldn't just go out in the rain.

Holding an umbrella and occupying one hand, the old man who couldn't wait outside the courtyard door hammered the door panel again and said loudly: "Is anyone there——"

His shouts were louder and louder, without any awareness that it was late at night and ordinary people should have gone to sleep.

Bai Su answered the door before the visitor got impatient and broke in.

The black-haired young man poked his head out from under the umbrella and stuck it out from the crack in the door.

His eyes were clear and he didn't look like he was sleeping.

There was an old man standing outside the door, leaning on a cane. His face looked... somewhat familiar.

It didn't take Bai Su long to find the corresponding face in his memory.

Isn't this - isn't this the village chief who was leading a middle-aged man to climb the mountain to the ancestral hall on the mountain road in the afternoon?
Finally, I saw the face of the head of Wenjia Village clearly. His wrinkled face was hidden under a bamboo hat, and he was wearing a raincoat. He was smiling with squinting eyes. He looked kind, but made people feel uncomfortable behind his back.

"Ah... there is someone here." The village chief asked, squinting his eyes, "It's so late, the young man didn't sleep."

In this regard, Bai Su's explanation was that he had caught up on his sleep in the afternoon, so he was not very sleepy.

"That's right, you young people, life begins at night." The village chief responded casually and started talking about business, "Something is missing in the village, so we came to ask about the situation."

Bai Su looked at it with confusion and asked, "So? Are you planning to come in for inspection?"

The village chief glanced inward, put his hands behind his back and said, "No, I just want to make sure some of you are there and are everyone else asleep?"

The black-haired young man looked back. There was no one at the door and the window was closed.

Thinking about the gesture that the human showed him just now, he answered clearly: "I didn't sleep, I just came back from outside."

"..." This was a bit difficult for the village chief to handle, and the smile on his face froze for a moment, but he immediately adjusted it back, "This, this is it."

The humans listening in the room all fell silent. They began to wonder whether leaving the matter of dealing with the villagers to Bai Su was the right choice.

Could it be that they should have kept Gao Tianyi just now?

"Yes." Bai Su nodded, and he asked strangely, "Didn't you just send someone to deliver fish? Only two were delivered, per head."

"...There is such a thing." The smile in the corner of the village chief's eyes deepened a little, "The grandma in the village gave it to you spontaneously. I heard that there is such a thing. How about it? Have you accepted the fish? ?”

The village chief just followed the polite conversation and chatted for a few words. Unexpectedly, he got the answer of "I have finished eating."

village head:?
The village chief was about to nod his head and swallowed the cooking method he was about to recommend.

Why are the guests in the village acting a little unreasonably this time?

The village chief's facial expression twitched, but he still asked: "How do you eat? You are so anxious..."

"Just eat it like this." The black-haired young man demonstrated. The way he raised his head and swallowed made the village chief stunned.

Soon, the village chief felt that Bai Su might be lying. How could anyone eat fish like this without choking on fish bones?

No longer arguing with Bai Su about the fish, the village chief asked where the people who had gone out had gone.

Perhaps in order to make people think that his attitude was not aggressive, the village chief immediately added: "There are still some wild animals in the mountains and forests near our village. I am afraid that if you run around and get injured, you will be in trouble."

Bai Su nodded and said yes, then he pointed to the path on the right.

"I went for a walk in the woods over there." Bai Su said, "I didn't go to the village for fear of disturbing you."

The village chief looked over where Bai Su pointed, moving his head bit by bit.

"That's it..." the old man said meaningfully, "That's right, no one in the village saw you."

The village chief said that he already knew the answer, but he wanted to go here.

The woods were dark and the rain was pounding.

During the conversation between Bai Su and the village chief, a villager also wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat approached. His back was always toward the door.

From Baisu's perspective, he could only see half of the villager's face and chin. He saw the villager bending down and leaning into the village chief's ear, as if he said something.

Why use "like"? Because to Baisu's ears, except for two grunts, it sounds like blowing bubbles.

This may be an exchange, or it may be that someone is just sent to show off.

The village chief pretended to listen, nodded to the villagers, and then turned to Bai Su.

"The person who committed the theft has been found." The village chief bowed, which was very polite. "I'm really sorry for disturbing you late at night."

did you find it?Bai Su blinked.

Is it... Wen Rongxuan has been found?

Bai Su recalled how deep he took the young man into the woods.

As long as Wen Rongxuan's mouth is not destroyed, human beings can naturally attract something to themselves, pile it up and carry it, and it can always take people away.

Therefore, Bai Su didn't feel that the humans had been found. This should just be an inquiry process, and by the way, it was clear to them that the village was aware of their whereabouts.

Speaking of which, did he forget something?
Thinking of Wen Rongxuan, his thoughts spread out.

Wen Rongxuan... Wen Tao... Qi Zhuyue... Ah!

Bai Su made a fist with his right hand and knocked on the handle of the umbrella in the palm of his left hand. The sudden movement shocked the village chief and villagers who had not yet left. The village chief turned his head. The other villager also wanted to turn around, but restrained himself. Own.

The village chief asked what was wrong with concern, and the black-haired young man waved his hand.

"It's nothing." Because his left hand was open and the umbrella handle was a little crooked, Bai Su straightened the umbrella, "I remembered something."

He remembered that he didn't seem to ask Wen Rongxuan if there was a solution to Qi Zhuyue's current situation.

Forget it, if you didn’t ask, then you didn’t ask.

After watching the village chief and the others go away, Bai Su retracted his body and started walking towards the house.

In Wen Rongxuan's eyes, He is probably an indescribable existence.It has nothing to do with humans, its purpose is unknown, its origin is unknown... huh?

As soon as Bai Su opened the door, three pairs of eyes stared at him.

The black-haired young man tilted his head in confusion.

"Is there something on my face?" Bai Su was a little confused.

"No..." The human who was in the room and listened to all the conversations at the door covered his head with a headache, "You didn't tell us that some villagers have been here before."

They also brought fish and pointed out that they were given per head.

God knows how the three people who were awake inside the door changed their heartbeats and breathing when they heard this. They suddenly stopped for a second?Maybe, but it’s a bit of a heart challenge anyway.

Later, the villagers did not come in, and they communicated in an ordinary... well, not ordinary way. When they heard Bai Su say that he had eaten the fish, the people in the house and outside the courtyard had the same mood, and they just wanted to raise questions to Bai Su.

All in all, the villagers left and did not come in.

The black-haired young man who was asked innocently spread his hands: "Wasn't it my turn to talk before? You are still talking. What did you encounter when you walked down from the parking lot?"

"Ah... let's put this aside for now." Xia Chengyin pinched the knuckles of his fingers, "I can't tell clearly, but we seemed to have been attacked by some creatures with fish parts and whose faces couldn't be seen clearly."

"Is it difficult to beat?" Bai Su pointedly pointed, casting his eyes on Tang Nuo's legs.

Tang Nuo covered his mouth, Xia Chengyin immediately darkened his face and glared at Gao Tianyi fiercely.

The minor, who knew he was in the wrong, stood there obediently, bowed and said, "I'm sorry, it was my fault!"

To sum it up in one sentence, Gao Tianyi was overconfident and thought he could deal with the monster whose face he couldn't see clearly. Who knew that the illusion broke up and reappeared in the same place, almost scratching the young man.

It was a small price to pay for two adults to save him.

Let’s talk about Baisu again.

The humans carefully inquired and reviewed the whole process of the old woman in the village delivering fish to her doorstep. When asked where the fish had gone, Bai Su gave a completely different answer.

"It was lost." The black-haired young man pointed to the kitchen sink, "It was chopped into pieces and fell down."

The human looked at him, as if asking why he had to deal with it so quickly, so Bai Su added: "The shape is a bit strange, and it is uglier than a deep-sea fish."

The specific definition of how ugly it is is to the extent that it makes you shed your skin when you look at it.

Xia Chengyin went to the kitchen and took a look at the sink. He only saw a little bloodshot and residual flesh foam. He couldn't see the original appearance, so he had to give up.

"You can take a photo next time."

"Okay, definitely next time."

Bai Su nodded perfunctorily, saying he would remember it next time.

Wherever did the opportunity to take a photo come from, he immediately took it.

"Then..." Tang Nuo glanced at Qi Zhuyue on the bed, then looked at Bai Su, "The village seems to know..."

"I know we didn't sleep at night and left the place where we live." Bai Su continued, "Thinking about it this way, did I also..." last night

His words caused others to think.

Yes, Bai Su also went out yesterday.

What has happened cannot be studied anymore, all they can do is to be careful in their next actions.

Xia Chengyin thought for a while and gave up. He changed the question and asked: "Who was outside the door just now?"

"Yes - the village chief." Gao Tianyi twirled a piece of wet paper and replied, "He looks like a normal person. His eyes, nose, and mouth are all in place... Hey, hey, hey!"

Jumping suddenly and falling to the side, the young man looked like a frightened little animal.

Where he was sitting, a big hole was made in the chair with a fist.

If Gao Tianyi hadn't avoided it just now, it would have been him who had his butt blossoming now.

As if he noticed something, Bai Su sat back.

As soon as he sat down, he saw a figure also falling on his left - it was Tang Nuo. He dragged his legs that were still unable to use strength and left the stool he was sitting on.

Bai Su: "Is your leg okay?"

Tang Nuo: "It's a small injury. It's sprained. I'll probably heal it tomorrow after applying some medicine."

Bai Su: "? What kind of medicine is effective here?"

Tang Nuo: "...some by-products of the R&D department."

Bai Su: "Oh, is it the research department that is famous for being able to produce anything except business?"

Tang Nuo looked at Bai Su silently, unable to say a few words to refute.

Although it is a stereotype, strictly speaking...it seems to be true?

The young man wearing glasses remained silent until the voice of a boy begging for mercy came from the side.

"I-I'm just worried about Brother Bai! So help me and keep an eye on him!"

"That's not why you secretly put the paper man on the wall. You knew there was a risk of being discovered!"

"It's not like it wasn't discovered." The young man argued.

"Ha." Xia Chengyin laughed as if he was angry, and squeezed out a breathy laugh, "Then what is that?"

The short-haired police officer raised his hand and pointed at Tang Nuo, who was sitting next to him with his legs crossed. The person being pointed shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

The minor suddenly swallowed, pursed his lips, threw the small paper figurine in his hand onto the table, and then ran out of the room.

Tang Nuo sighed and followed him lamely: "I'll go see him."

It's not easy to leave someone alone for too long, so the room is much quieter with two people away.

After a while, Xia Chengyin held his forehead and whispered, "You kid who hasn't grown up yet."

Afterwards, he probably noticed someone staring at him. The short-haired policeman opened his mouth to explain: "Young brats who haven't grown up have too little experience and have never suffered setbacks, so they always don't listen to instructions——"

Xia Chengyin stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, and he discovered something was wrong.

He found that someone was looking at him from two different angles, one from the left and one from the right.

The one on the left is Bai Su. The black-haired young man is sitting there with his chin propped up and his legs crossed, so the one on the right is...?
Xia Chengyin suddenly turned his head and found that on the other side that could not be seen from his perspective, his female companion who was supposed to be lying on the bed was staring at him with her eyes open.

The woman's hair is a little messy and her eyes are a little dazed.

She looked at Xia Chengyin blankly, and after a while, she turned her attention to another person in the room.

"I..." Qi Zhuyue spoke, her voice a little hoarse as she had not touched water for a long time, "Why do I sleep here?"

In the memory of a human woman, she should have been talking to... Hey, what was she doing?
