Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 297 The quarrel among the villagers

The mother and son, one big and one small, are exactly the pair Bai Su saw last night.

There is no husband, it may be that the family lacks this identity, or it may be that they have gone out to work?
The mother and son sat around with several other women of different ages. There was a bamboo basket in front of them, and they couldn’t see what they were holding. Work.

Baisu really did not expect such a coincidence.

There are quite a few people in Wenjia Village who have been replaced by black mud, but compared to the large number of villagers who smell like fish, they are still a small number. If you really want to find them, you need to make some detours.

The smell of fish along their route all morning was nothing but the smell of fish. They finally smelled some food, but it was still a familiar scent.

So Baisu chose the way to enter the birthday man's house, instead of going to the village to find the lake out of curiosity.

However, what surprised Baisu was that the mother and son could get along with other people normally.

Is it because of the daytime?Or because of something else.

From the monster's perspective, these are two completely different creatures coexisting peacefully.

But aren't they still fighting at night?Is it because the black ooze in human form... isn't threatening?

Just as Baisu was thinking, the bespectacled young man beside him had observed for a while, and asked, "Who is it?"

The human beings turned around and looked at it. Putting on their glasses and taking them off, they saw ordinary villagers sitting around them, just like the hostess Tang Nuo had seen in the data.

Ordinary, ordinary, except for occasional memory dislocations and changes in habits, the rest of the person is exactly the same.

Even according to the latest report they received before they went to Wenjia Village, even if they told those replaced people, told them—you are not human—and explained how they existed, all they showed was disbelief.

"How is that possible", "You must have made a mistake", "What nonsense are you talking about"... and so on.

If we go one step further and move the original human body, which has become rigid and has stopped functioning but is still at least alive, in front of the replaced "person", they will only shout "It's a mistake, it must be a mistake". Shouting loudly while escaping from reality.

Totally, totally non-aggressive.

This feature made Tang Nuo unable to tell which of the women gathered together was the right one, so he chose to ask Baisu.

What humans didn't expect was that it wasn't one, but which ones.

"The mother and her son taking care of the children, the one picking vegetables over there... and the one knitting in the house."

After nodding four people's heads in a row, Baisu continued to eat the oranges with a vague mouth: "There are only four that can be seen here."

"..." A few drops of cold sweat dripped down Tang Nuo's forehead, "There are so many?"

"Hmm." His mouth bulged and the juice from the orange petals was licked off, "Is that too much?"

What Bai Su didn't tell the humans was that there were a few scattered in places other than this family's house.

After all, the main impression he left on the human side was based on "seeing", not "smell".

Tang Nuo's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a bit, beating enough to be heard and captured by himself. It took a long time for the young man with glasses to calm down.

He repeated to himself the known report that the replaced humans at this stage were non-aggressive.

"You... noticed it outside?"

"The sweater man just passed by the door and saw it."

When humans thought about it, it seemed that such a thing had happened, but their attention was entirely on the middle-aged woman at the door. Who could have noticed it.

What's more, apart from Baisu, they couldn't see it.

His eyes continued to turn back and forth on the villagers who were pointed out. In order not to make his behavior too abrupt, Tang Nuo also picked up the fruit and silently peeled it and ate it.

So, when Qi Zhuyue finally finished the "Wen Tao" chatting with each other and used the excuse of going to find her friends to get away, she walked to a corner of the yard, and all she saw were sitting next to a small bench, one on the left and one on the right, Two people each took a piece of fruit and ate it.

...Judging from the peels on the ground, Bai Su must have eaten more. Tang Nuo just peeled off one and hasn't finished it yet.

"You guys!" Qi Zhuyue approached and lowered his voice, "I've worked hard over there to socialize, but you are here to eat!"

There is a trace of exhaustion in the voice of a human female. Today’s social interaction is a bit beyond the standard for her. Even after more than ten years of vague time, she can cope with many things by being unfamiliar and unable to remember clearly, but communication Still for real.

There were no spying or disturbing words, and everyone who met "Wen Tao" so far really cared about her.

For example, the uncle of "Wen Tao", after their team was divided into two groups, once again whispered to him that the black-haired one could get extra points, because he came in with "Wen Tao", and that Points were deducted for leaving "Wen Tao" to accompany his younger brother.

"Wen Tao", who spent a second thinking about who his younger brother was, smiled awkwardly, and decided to skip this commonplace topic of urging marriage.

For the time being, she had nothing to do with Wen Jianyuan, who held the status of "her" elder.

Putting aside the strangeness last night, the middle-aged man is now an ordinary elder.

Not to the step of tearing her face... not to the step of being chased by the whole village.

From the moment they realized that there was indeed an anomaly in Wenjia Village, being an enemy of the whole village might have been written in the future, it was just a matter of time.

Is it possible to reconcile with the villagers without resorting to violence?There should be some, but judging from the cases they have handled... involving supernatural beings, it is difficult for blind villagers to listen to outsiders.

Thoughts drifted a little far, Qi Zhuyue brought a chair and sat down in front of Baisu and Tang Nuo.

She also picked up an orange - the only one left on the plate, with the rind dunked in from the top and tearing outwards.

Bai Su spoke abruptly: "I have found a being that I care about."

Then, he revealed his discovery to Qi Zhuyue in a short and clear sentence, the human woman who stuffed an orange segment into her mouth unexpectedly, her face twitched for a moment.

Immediately, she choked the orange pulp into her trachea.

He quickly waved his hands to the concerned villagers who came over from a distance, expressing that he was just being soured with huddled eyebrows.

Then she immediately turned around, lowered her head and widened her eyes: "Is there...?"

She gestured the number four on her chest with her hand, because her back was facing the other villagers, and no one except Baisu saw this movement.

Qi Zhuyue was not only shocked but also shocked. She always felt that she learned the news too quickly.

Normally, shouldn't they first notice that the people in the room are abnormal, and then go through a lot of hardships and trials before reaching a conclusion?
"There's a test." After eating the last orange, Baili packed up the peeled peel and put it back on the plate to be taken away. "I also checked for a while before making sure."

"...Did I say it?"

"No, it's just that the expression on Miss Wen's face is so easy to understand, it's the same as when she was in Mount Kangtai."

"Ah...you know that time..."

The human female muttered a few words under Baisu's gaze.

After a while, she touched her face and whispered, "Is it really easy to understand?"

Bai Su nodded solemnly: "Yes, his emotions are very obvious."

Qi Zhuyue struggled and said: "Is there? No one else has said...my acting class..." Before meeting someone, she didn't encounter too much Waterloo.Baisu and Qi Zhuyue spoke to each other, but in the end Tang Nuo came out to stop them.

"Stop teasing her." The young man wearing glasses interrupted, and then he turned to look at Qi Zhuyue, "Are you in a better mood? I saw you were tense just now."

"Ah... much better."

Realizing that she had relaxed from the gag just now, Qi Zhuyue froze, and then whispered a thank you to Baisu.

Although they are chatting, they don't have any special purpose, and they are even a little bit scaring people to play Baisu:?

The inexplicable acceptance of thanks made the monster's senses towards humans a little more complicated.

Qi Zhuyue, who relaxed and calmed down, asked the same question as Tang Nuo: "Is this the existence you care about, Baisu?"

Bai Su had given Tang Nuo a yes answer before, but he was not in a hurry to speak now.

He thought about it just now, and he still cares a little bit.

Before his perception was fully developed, Bai Su's main ways of detecting abnormalities were through smell and vision.

And he now feels that besides the four people he has pointed out, there should be others.

This existence gives him a strange sense... what does it look like?

Just as he was thinking, a loud noise suddenly came from a distance, attracting most people's attention.

The old man who was hard of hearing didn't move. The middle-aged woman beside her stood up, and there was a circle of women of different ages sitting there.

The place where the noise came from was a little away from the yard where they were staying, and there was a small door on the side to pass through. Looking at the location, it was at the back of the entire house.

The middle-aged women and other onlookers rushed over, and the three of them who were still sitting there followed suit.

A few people stood at the back of the house near the side door.

The leading woman did not hesitate to lift the basin in her hand forward, and the water in it was directed toward the man standing opposite.

If people dodged, they might still be able to dodge part of it, but the person on the other side didn't dodge at all.

"Get out!" The sharp words came out of the woman's mouth, "You are not welcome here!"

The young man who was splashed with water wiped his face twice, and his clothes, which were not thick, were stuck to his body, and more water flowed into his uncovered neck, making him shiver from the cold.

"I..." The voice of the young man with his head lowered was like a mosquito, and he could barely hear the first one professing, "I just want to..."

As the young man spoke, he raised his head, exposing his face to everyone's view.

"hiss……"

Almost at the moment when the young man revealed his appearance, someone gasped in Bai Su's ear. Although it was short-lived, he was still caught by Bai Su.

He thought it was normal, without him, because the young man's face was a little frightening.

It's not that he's ugly, he can be said to be handsome in terms of facial features, but what really spoils his impression is the large shadow on his face.

Since the person was facing the light, he couldn't tell what the shadow was at first glance. After he got over the initial surprise and looked closer, he still couldn't tell whether the dark mass was an existing birthmark or a birthmark. Scar added later.

The only thing that is certain is that the black shadow naturally occupies the left half of the young man's face, adding to his appearance a bit of horror that can frighten children.

The quarrel ahead is still going on. It is said to be a quarrel, but it is actually more like the unilateral venting and output of a woman who has been splashed with water. The abuse and similar insulting words in her mouth have not stopped.

Occasionally, the young man would argue a few words for himself, but the rebuttal was pale and powerless, and soon fell under the momentum of the splashing woman.

The onlookers just stood and watched at the beginning, and after the quarrel escalated, they gradually began to stand in line.

Their standing in line is not very obvious, most of them are helping to persuade a few words, some are persuading women splashing water, some are persuading young people, and a small group of people show disgust for young people in their eyes, secretly stirring up fire and driving people away.

Baisu noticed that the distribution of the villagers was interesting.

Those who spoke for the young man were the four people he pointed out to the human race before, and the rest of them held the opposite attitude.

This feature was also observed by the other two.

"Are they..." Qi Zhuyue could not finish her small conversation.

A higher-pitched female voice let out a high-pitched scream: "I told you that you are not welcome here! It is my last mercy not to drive you out of the village!"

The male voice defended weakly: "...No...I just want to come..."

The answer to the young man was a fragile object thrown to the ground.

Only then did Baisu realize that the woman was holding a ceramic washbasin, which was very fragile.

The shattered porcelain fragments cracked on the ground, and the flying fragments unfortunately flew towards the young man. Fortunately, the sharp fragments only cut the cheeks, and did not pierce any soft organs that should not be pierced.

A small cut was made on the right side of the young man's face, bright blood flowed down immediately, and the pain also made him react.

The young man bit his lower lip, swallowed what he wanted to say, and finally turned around and left.

Instead of going through the front door, he left in despair through the half-open back door.

When the woman who broke the basin saw that the person was leaving, she even spit in the direction of the person leaving.

Obviously, she hated the young man just now.

The two quarreling separated, and those who came to watch the excitement or persuade the fight dispersed.

The middle-aged woman and Wen Jianyuan also came towards Baisu and the others. When they got closer, the middle-aged woman said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I made you laugh."

Qi Zhuyue was stunned for a moment, and quickly waved her hands: "No, we are the ones who have to come here..."

Oops, I was a guest at someone else’s house and witnessed something like this. It was so embarrassing.

Just when the human female was about to dig out the ground with her toes, she was tapped on the shoulder.

Qi Zhuyue turned her head and saw the black-haired young man gesture to her.

Qi Zhuyue: ...What do you mean?
The human woman's eyes were slightly confused. She looked at Tang Nuo, who had a similar reaction to her, but the black-haired young man who was slightly inferior at reading the air thought that the human understood.

Baisu nodded, turned around and left.

The human thought he was going somewhere, but to his surprise, Bai Su didn't go to the door or the house, but to the courtyard wall.

After being stunned for two seconds, the humans suddenly understood what Baisu wanted to do.

...Don't jump over the wall in front of outsiders!

Not even in a hurry!
