Escape in the interstellar game world

Chapter 96 Welfare Home

Cheng Mu raised his immature head and spoke out the contents of the secret conversation between the woman and Old Shen.

Seeing Zhou Tang looking deep in thought, he added, "I woke up in a place called an orphanage."

He was afraid that Zhou Tang would not know what the welfare home was, and explained, "As far as I know, the welfare home here is equivalent to the rescue center and charity home in the alliance. The environment inside is not good. I escaped secretly."

After saying that, Cheng Mu rubbed his belly and looked through the window at the noodles prepared by the woman for Zhou Tang.

Zhou Tang pushed the porcelain bowl towards Cheng Mu and said, "I have a poor appetite, so I can only eat half of the bowl at most. Please leave some bottom to avoid the woman's suspicion."

Without saying a word, Cheng Mu reached in and slurped up the noodles from the porcelain bowl.

Zhou Tang integrated the information he had obtained and told Cheng Mu, "I found her diary. I...suffered a serious illness and never recovered. For several years, the woman and...I have been seeking medical consultation, but nothing happened." There are no signs of improvement.

Instead, because I kept trying medicine, or because my condition was being dragged on, my health got worse and worse. Now I have to take three breaths to take two steps. "

"But just recently, the woman seems to have gotten into a relationship with Lao Shen! In order to win the woman's trust, Lao Shen specially asked for a potion for me."

Cheng Mu was hungry and ate quickly, eating two-thirds of it in a short while. He kept one-third as instructed by Zhou Tang.

It's just that Cheng Mu was in his teens, when he was growing hungry and eating a lot. He barely ate half full. He reluctantly put down the porcelain bowl and listened carefully to Zhou Tang's words. .

"Lao Shen is the middle-aged man you mentioned, mysterious and of unknown origin. The woman wants to exchange this small courtyard in her hand with Lao Shen so that Lao Shen can find a relationship to cure my illness!"

Zhou Tang sighed softly, "I just hit it by mistake." As soon as he opened his eyes, he was about to be fed a bowl of unknown weird soup. Any player would refuse first.

Cheng Mu nodded. Zhou Tang was the person he personally selected. He trusted her very much. "I will focus on following Lao Shen. Then you can keep an eye on this... woman."

Zhou Tang acquiesced. Her current body did not allow her to do high-intensity work.

It is still possible to keep an eye on women, but there are not many things that can be dug out of women.

She also suggested, "We are also being targeted and suppressed by copies of the game, and are slightly inferior in terms of force value. If possible, we need to seek help from players."

Cheng Mu also figured this out after seeing Zhou Tang in this state, "I will return to the orphanage. I think the dungeon can only find ways to suppress our abilities, but it cannot prevent us from accessing the dungeon mission."

He experienced several dungeons and saw clearly that the self-aware NPCs in the dungeons were inextricably linked to the tasks issued by the dungeons.

Zhou Tang said with relief, "We don't have to worry too much. If we can't use our full strength ourselves, we can still borrow help."

If the records in the diary are correct, they were in the eighth and 90s of China at this time...

Lao Shen and even the people behind Lao Shen did not dare to confront the official people head-on. Just like a copy of "Castle", they could use the opportunity to suppress the duchess, and they could do the same here.

Cheng Mu saw that Zhou Tang already had an idea, "Now that I have found you, I will go back to the orphanage first. Let's keep in touch."

Zhou Tang nodded in agreement, "The woman goes out to buy groceries every morning. You can come to me during this time."

He calculated the time and saw that the woman was carrying a bamboo basket and going out. Since there was a patient at home, she would not go far.

Zhou Tang nodded and said, "Do what you can!"

Cheng Mu rolled over again from the courtyard wall where he came in, and after landing, he hid in the corner again and waited.

After a while, he saw the woman coming back with a basket, then left the place and returned to the place where he first opened his eyes in this copy.Zhou Tang sat in a daze on the stool in front of the desk, his thoughts spinning rapidly.

The woman pushed the door open and saw this scene. Zhou Tang's erratic back made her heart skip a beat. She quickly stepped forward and said, "Tangzi, why are you sitting here? Why don't you go to bed and lie down?" You can’t sit still for too long.”

When the woman came closer, she saw that only one-third of the noodle bowl was left in front of Zhou Tang. She couldn't help but said with great joy, "Tangzi! You are doing well today! You actually ate more than half of the bowl."

Zhou Tang came back to his senses and smiled weakly at the woman, "...Mom, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. I wonder if I ate too much at once!"

The woman's smile tightened and she quickly held Zhou Tang's thin back with her hands, "Not much! Not much! I'll help you get on the bed and lie down, and I'll rub your belly!"

She glanced at the wide open window and said, "Your window must be too wide, and the cold wind is blowing on you. Hey, this window can't be opened."

"A little boring..."

The woman sighed softly and slowly helped Zhou Tang to go to bed. Zhou Tang fell asleep with the woman gently rubbing his belly.

Cheng Mu remembered the way he came and came to a dilapidated courtyard. He walked around the courtyard and then chose a place to climb over the wall and enter.

The orphanage is not big, but there are a lot of dolls inside, and the person in charge is also very busy. He has been gone all morning, but no one noticed that he was missing.

Of course, it is also possible that everyone turns a blind eye to this situation...

Only when he came back a little later, the lunch at the orphanage had long been closed and was no longer provided.

"Brother Amu!" There was a little girl who specially left a nest for him. "Brother Amu, here you go! Eat it quickly."

Cheng Mu squeezed the hard dough in his hand and said, "Thank you very much."

The little girl showed a sweet smile and said, "Brother Amu, you should remember more time next time so as not to miss lunch."

Cheng Mu held the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth. When he heard this, he asked, "They didn't notice that I was missing, did they?!"

The little girl curled her lips and said, "They wish you were gone. You will be alone, but there will be a lot more food to eat. As for the thin man, they still hope that you will not come back when you go out, so that they can eat your share together."

"Hmph, they don't even think about it. If you are no longer here, the food will definitely be reduced. How can you give them an advantage?!"

Cheng Mu finally swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth and nodded in agreement with the little girl's words.

Only then a voice suddenly shouted, "Cheng Mu! Come here!"

The little girl paused and tilted her head slightly. Seeing that it was a young woman calling Cheng Mu, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief for him, "Brother Amu! Don't be afraid, it's Aunt-in-law!"

"Aunt-in-law must have noticed that you are missing."

Cheng Mu swallowed the last mouthful of steamed bread and patted the little girl's head, "I'm going to find Aunt Yue."

Aunt Yue's eyes were full of prying eyes. She looked at Cheng Mu and said, "Cheng Mu, where have you been all morning?"

Cheng Mu said calmly, "I went out to play."

She glared and said, "I know the vice-dean reprimanded you this morning, so you shouldn't have been running around all morning..."
