Absurd deduction game

That kind of excitement gave Yu Xing a bad feeling. It was definitely not happiness for Yu Xing, but a kind of butcher's excitement when the pig was fattened and ready to be slaughtered.

Of course, the Goddess concealed it, but to Yu Xing's observation ability, there was no hiding from it.

He nodded along and said: Well, it's fine. I want to go out and learn more about this place.

The goddess put away the medical kit, raised the corners of her mouth, and said in a soft but unquestionable tone: Shi Wei... Then I will take you to the river to relax, do you agree?

Okay. Yu Xing estimated that even if he wanted to refuse, the other party would definitely try their best to persuade him. Anyway, he had nothing to be afraid of, so he might as well take the initiative to cooperate and make the matter less complicated.

The goddess took Yu Xing to the west of the village.

When they went out, many villagers came out carrying farm tools. Yu Xing glanced at them and saw that these people were all very skinny. I am afraid they were just like Granny Li. Their clothes were covered with bones.

Moreover, Yu Xing had some impression of the faces of some of the villagers, as if... he had seen them among the pile of hanging corpses in his hallucination.

This discovery made Yu Xing raise his eyebrows slightly. He said nothing, pretended not to see it, and walked side by side with the goddess, all the way out of the village.

The goddess didn't say much, she just said a few words casually: There are fields to the south. It's harvest time recently and it's very busy every day.

Oh, what about those like Granny Li who have no ability to farm? Yu Xing saw that the people she saw were all younger people, like the elderly and children, who must be staying at home.

They... the goddess paused and said gracefully, Old people have children. Grandma Li's grandson running away was just an accident and an exception. But the priest will not treat any believer badly. As long as you offer a little offering to the priest, it will be enough. Enjoy free food.”

The priest is really a great and kind-hearted person~ Yu Xing sighed, looking at the goddess' expression from the corner of his eye.

As expected, when she heard his praise, the goddess looked even happier. She agreed very much with this sentence: Yes, he is a very kind and great person. He gave us everything.

How to worship him? Yu Xing asked, not knowing whether Granny Li had told the goddess what happened last night.

... Of course, I want to impress the priest with piety and respect. The goddess looked at him and smiled, You don't need to make offerings. Your memory is incomplete. Let's wait until you get better. God will forgive you.

Yu Xing: Oh~ what the goddess wants for me is probably related to my body.

I wanted his wounds to heal, but I didn't want him to dig out meat and offer it as an offering, as if to ensure that his body was intact.

Generally, there are only a few reasons for doing this.

The two chatted intermittently. Most of the time, Yu Xing asked innocently, and the goddess answered calmly, and time passed slowly.

The river is not too far from the village, but this section of the road becomes more and more desolate. After leaving the human habitation, the trees become lush, casting large tracts of shadows, blocking the sun.

Every tree looks the same, and everywhere you look there is a patch of grass. Without the guidance of someone who is familiar with the road, it is easy to lose direction and get lost here.

After a while, Yu Xing finally saw the outline of the river.

Sure enough, this place is just like in a dream.

There are layers of reeds growing in the wetland beside the river, which is half-covered. After walking in, you can see that the river surface is not clear at all, with accumulation of filth, little flow, and no fish or shrimp.

This is not so much a river, but a still lake formed at the end of the river, which is just a bit dirty.

On the land leading to the lake, some bones can be seen everywhere, and dust is floating on them. Some are thick and some are slightly new. In short, it can be seen that in different eras, someone always died nearby.

Why is Yu Xing so sure they are human bones and not animal bones?

Because when he was walking, he accidentally kicked away a skull that rolled to his feet...

But there is something wrong. Although this village believes in a non-existent god, and the villagers may not be pure living people, Yu Xing came into contact with it briefly and found that the villagers still have normal needs for food and drink.

She also eats the food cooked by Grandma Li. Although she doesn’t know where all these things went without her intestines and stomach, in short, there is no problem with the ingredients. So, whether it is farming or feeding livestock, clean water is a must.

This lake is too dirty for villagers to get water from here, not to mention that Granny Li’s grandson once caught fish here.

There are no fish here at all.

Therefore, Yu Xing guessed that the villagers' daily water collection might be in the upper reaches of the lake, and now that the goddess brought him here, she must have a special purpose.

Why is this place so spooky? He showed a scared expression and leaned closer to the goddess, like a good bully who was uneasy and subconsciously looking for a sense of security.

Huh? It's just quiet here, how can it be gloomy? The goddess pulled Yu Xing closer to the lake, letting go only after knowing that they could see their own reflections in the dirty water.

Shi Wei, do you know? The goddess looked at Yu Xing's shadow reflected in the water, her eyes gradually glowed, and her tone became gentler, My man can't come home. Every time I miss him, I come here and follow him. The lake talks, so it feels like he is still with me.

When Yu Xing heard the goddess calling him Shi Wei, her caring tone was like calling him someone else, and the hair on his back stood up.

He touched his nose and said, Is your man in the lake?

Goddess: ...?

She suddenly turned to look at him, her eyes showing the same scrutiny as when they first met.

Why do you think so?

Seeing her reaction, Yu Xing sneered in his heart, but on the surface he explained in panic: I'm sorry, no offense intended, I just heard you say that you were talking to the lake here, and your husband seemed to be by your side, and I thought... …Think……

The goddess was still looking at him.

I thought your husband drowned in the lake. I'm really sorry... He became softer and quieter, and finally lowered his head with a grimace, as if he had done something wrong and was waiting to be scolded.

The goddess turned her face away, saw her reflection in the water, and said calmly: It's not a big deal. I don't blame you. Don't make such a depressed expression. I want your face to be happy every day.

Putting this to another person, Yu Xing could even feel that it was a confession, but the goddess was completely shuddering when she said it.

Because there was no trace of concern for him in the goddess's eyes, instead, there was always a strange emotion in her eyes.

There is nothing interesting around the lake. Apart from the surprise of being able to step on bones anytime, anywhere, there is only desolation and filth.

After a while, Yu Xing said: How about we go somewhere else...

Ah! Goddess exclaimed.

Her cry interrupted Yu Xing's unfinished words, and Yu Xing asked: What's wrong!?

The goddess looked down, revealing her calf scratched by grass.

I was too careless...it hurts so much, I can't walk.

There is another update in the afternoon.
