Absolute Destiny Game

At this time, Granny Li came over with a smile and said, "Well done, two young brothers. You are indeed a heroic young man. These sharks were killed in this attack, and they should be able to be honest for a while."

Seeing that it's noon, I don't have much good food, so I can only cook some porridge and grill some salted fish. Do you want to try it? "

The two looked towards the direction of the hut, and sure enough, there was a pot of porridge cooking on the fire outside and some salted fish grilled.

"Mother-in-law, you don't have to be polite. We also brought some food ourselves. Mother-in-law can do whatever she wants."

"Then I'm welcome." He took out a knife and began to dissect the sharks, cutting off a few pieces of flesh and putting them away.

When the three of them returned to the hut, the young man looked at Granny Li with a melancholy expression.

"Mother-in-law, did you cut off that shark's flesh again and eat it?"

"What's the matter? The sharks are not humans, they are just fish monsters in the water. Your father is a fisherman. Isn't it natural for fishermen to eat fish? Just eat it."

But Li Baoer had a sad look on his face, "I don't want to eat it. Although the sharks are not human, they are somewhat humanoid. I can't bear to look at them like that."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you are a kind-hearted child, then eat salted fish and remember to drink more water."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of salted fish and put it on the ceramic plate in front of the young man, and served him a bowl of porridge.

Xiao Jie was originally a little wary of this old woman, so he didn't want to eat the porridge and salted fish. Now that he met her, he realized that he was overthinking it.

He wanted to get some information out, so he said: "I also have some food here, why don't we all enjoy it together."

As he spoke, Xiao Jie placed the steamed buns, bacon, roast chicken, roast venison, rural scones, and boiled eggs on the table one by one.

Li Baoer looked surprised, and Granny Li also looked a little happy.

[System prompt: Granny Li’s favorability towards you has increased by 10 points, now it is 60. 】

"Thank you very much." She couldn't help but say, picking up a roast chicken and gnawing on it. Granny Li looked old, but her movements were quite bold and she ate and drank.

Li Bao also picked up a steamed bun and gnawed it, but his movements were quite gentle, somewhat reserved like a scholar.

Granny Li took a few mouthfuls, but then sighed, "It's so pathetic, I've been trapped in this small fishing village for more than ten years, and it's rare to have such a rich meal. Little brother, thank you very much. Oh, if only there was another bottle of wine." That’s even better.”

Xiao Jie smiled slightly, "That's a coincidence. I happen to have a bottle of wine here."

Then he took out a pot of Dukang wine.

This pot of Dukang wine was bought when I first learned fishing. It was originally intended for the fisherman, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't need it because of the prestige and worship, so I saved it.

This time it came in handy.

Granny Li's eyes lit up when she saw it, she took it and sniffed it intoxicatedly, "Good wine!" After saying that, she took a big sip. "It's really a good wine."

[System prompt: Granny Li’s favorability towards you has increased by 10 points, now it is 70. 】

With a favorability score of 70, I should be able to extract some useful information.

"Grandma Li, I am very puzzled by the behavior of these sharks. I wonder if you can tell us what is going on here? When we subjugate demons and kill sharks, we must know the reason. These sharks It seems that it will not stop for a while, but it will always come back in the future.

If we can gain insight into the key, it will be easier to defeat the enemy in the future. "

"Hmph, wouldn't it be better to hear less than to hear more? What can you do if you know about it?"

Li Bao also showed an expectant look, "Grandma, just tell me, I'm almost fifteen, and you've hidden many things from me over the years, how could I not know? Do you want to hide it from me forever?

Where did my parents go? Did something happen to them? How can I, as a son, ignore it and not ask? "

"Don't be anxious, Bao'er. I've already told you that after your fifteenth birthday, I will naturally tell you that your birthday will be in three days. Please wait a few more days."

The young man sighed helplessly and stopped asking, but Xiao Jie did not give up so easily.

He suddenly noticed that there was an orb hanging around the young man's neck, emitting a faint halo, which was completely different from his rough clothes.

The mermaids are looking for pearls—could this be what they are looking for?

"Let me guess, since these shark hunters are looking for pearls, could it be that - they are looking for it? Such a big pearl is absolutely extraordinary, and there must be a story in it. Could it be that this pearl came from the shark? Was it stolen from someone's hands? That's why it attracted the entanglement of the sharks."

Grandma Li said helplessly: "Humph, that's all, since you insist on knowing, I'll just tell you.

Everything was still fifteen years ago. At that time, Fenghe Village was still prosperous and there were many families living there - yes, this was Fenghe Village.

There is a young fisherman named Li He living in Fenghe Village. He is so handsome, well-educated, hard-working and righteous, and he is quite famous in the village.

Li He went fishing one day and unexpectedly met an unconscious woman on the bank of the river. The woman was as beautiful as a fairy. Unfortunately, after he rescued her, he found that she was mute. Li He was fascinated as soon as he saw this woman. , but the beautiful woman also fell in love with Li He at first sight.

Li He took the beauty home, married her, and named her Yuniang.

Strange to say, since he married Yu Niang, the fisherman has been lucky. He can catch a lot of fish every day and sell them for money. In addition to daily expenses, he also buys some books to read and entertain himself.

One of them fished and the other wove cloth, and they lived a happy life.

However, unexpected events happened. Yu Niang became pregnant after living for a few years. Unexpectedly, she fell seriously ill after she became pregnant. She lost her appetite and didn't want to eat or drink. Li He asked her what happened, and Yu Niang said..."

I want to become an immortal: "Wait a minute, isn't Yu Niang a mute?"

The old woman was stunned and said embarrassedly: "Yes, but Yu Niang is literate, and the words were written by hand. She told Li He that her disease was incurable and she needed to go to the sea to catch a golden carp, and she would be cured after eating it. For the sake of his wife and children, Li He had to drive the boat down the river and into the sea, but he caught nothing after three days and three nights at sea.

Who would have thought that at this time, Yu Niang gave birth.

Because of her serious illness, she had a difficult birth, and when the child was born, she was dead. Before she died, Yu Niang told the people in the village not to bury her in water, otherwise there would be disaster.

This is a custom in Fenghe Village. Our ancestors had a rule that people come from the water and should return to the water. People in Fenghe Village have been buried in water for generations.

Now, hearing Yu Niang's firm words, the villagers didn't believe it at all. They just agreed casually, and when she died, they still buried her in water.

Who would have thought that since then, there have been mermaids in the lake, kidnapping children, killing men and women, harassing day and night. The fishermen in the village couldn't bear it and moved away one after another, so Fenghe Village gradually became what it is today. "

"What about Li He?" Xiao Jie asked.

"Li He? Maybe he got lost at sea and couldn't find it back."

Grandma Li's voice was a little sad.

Xiao Jie continued to ask: "What about the child?"

"It's right in front of you. "

Looking at Li Baoer's stunned face, Xiao Jie suddenly realized that this was the child.

Fifteen years, he has grown into what he is now.

But this still can't explain what's going on with these mermaids.

At this time, Li Bao also asked in a trembling voice, "Grandma, is my father dead?"

"Your father is blessed with a long life, and he must be fine. Maybe he has been stranded on a deserted island and can't come back. When you are fifteen years old, I will go with you to find your father."

Li Bao nodded, "Grandma, I'm thirsty."

"Then drink more water, you eat too much salted fish."

Looking at the grandmother scooping another bucket of water for Li Bao.

After feeding the water, Grandma Li looked at the two of them again.

"Two warriors, those mermaids may come again in the afternoon, so I'm bothering you today.

Of course you two will have to pay the reward. Today you two killed a total of 29 mermaids. I, your mother-in-law, remember them all. Here, this is your reward. From now on, I will settle it once at noon and in the evening every day, and there will be no delay. ”

[System prompt: You have received a 1450-wen mission reward.]

Since it was a team mission, the two of them took half each, one and a half taels, but it was not a small amount.

Xiao Jie thought that this mission was cool, with a lot of experience, low difficulty, and generous rewards.

Could this reward be the so-called due compensation from the river god's mouth?

Could it be that the river god asked them to come here just to help the old woman kill the mermaids for three days? But what does this have to do with honesty?

And compared to an adventure event, although this reward is not small, it still feels a bit too ordinary.

There must be some secrets in it, and it is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

When Granny Li saw Xiao Jie silent, she thought he thought the money was too little.

"You two, a little money may not be in the eyes of the two warriors. The pearl is a family heirloom of my Li family. After my son Li He disappeared, I passed the pearl to Baoer. It has nothing to do with those mermaids.

I really don't know why those mermaids came to harass the fishing village, but no matter what the reason, I will never let them hurt my little treasure. Little treasure is the only blood of my Li family, and he must not be lost.

Although this pearl is precious, it is nothing compared to my grandson's life. As long as I wait until my grandson's fifteenth birthday in three days, the matter here will naturally be over. If you can help me survive these three days and beat back those mermaids, I will reward you with this pearl after the task is completed.

This pearl is not an ordinary ornament, but a magic weapon. I'm sorry to keep the effect of this magic weapon a secret, but it will definitely satisfy you. How about it? ”

[System prompt: Trigger the adventure event [Three-day appointment].

Task description: Granny Li tells you a bizarre story and hopes you can help her protect her grandson Li Bao for 3 days.

Task goal: Prevent Li Bao from being harmed by the mermaids within 3 days.

Task reward: A mysterious orb.]

Hmm? Xiao Jie was even more puzzled now. He originally thought that those mermaids came for the orb, and Granny Li’s goal was to protect the orb, but now Granny Li has directly turned the orb into a task reward.

This completely confused him.

But the task still has to be accepted. Perhaps when we see the properties of the mysterious orb, the truth will be revealed.

"Don't worry, Granny. With the two of us here, those mermaids will never hurt Brother Bao."

After accepting the task, the two came to the lake to be on guard again.

Seeing that there was no one around, I wanted to become an immortal but suddenly whispered: "Brother Feng, there is something wrong with the story told by this old woman. She is lying!"
