His words made Sui Qian startled.
My heart seemed to be grabbed all of a sudden.
this……
What's the meaning?
Is it because he trusts her more?
The girl thought so.
After Xiaoya finished eating, Sui Qian held her little book again and wanted to talk to Xiaoya, "Xiaoya..."
As soon as she said her name, her eyes inadvertently saw Xiaoya's looming scar hidden under her sleeves, and her face suddenly turned pale.
The soft voice had a vibrato.
"Xiaoya, on your arm..."
When Xiao Jihe heard what the girl said, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly lifted up Xiaoya's sleeves.
When he saw the conspicuous red whip marks, he frowned and his expression suddenly became solemn.
At a glance, it was obvious that they were whip marks that had been left over many years. The skin and flesh were rolled out. The old wounds were covered with new ones. It looked scarred and shocking.
And Xiaoya's arms were thin, sallow and dull, not like a child's skin at all.
Sui Qian was so distressed that her eyelashes became moist, "This must be very painful..."
Although Xiao Jihe didn't say anything, his frown already represented his attitude.
He made a bold guess.
"Did your grandma whip you?"
he asked Xiaoya.
Xiaoya shrank, her big eyes half covered by her bangs flashing a look of panic and fear.
Xiao Jihe: "Don't be afraid, she is already dead. Even if you tell her, you won't be taught a lesson."
When Xiaoya heard this, she seemed to be inexplicably encouraged. She raised her head stiffly, her malnourished face looking wrinkled and small.
"It's grandma..."
"She was the one who beat me. She said that girls should be beaten...if they are beaten, they will be honest. In the future, they will not dare to marry too far away."
Perhaps imitating her grandma's tone, Xiaoya whispered in a very old hoarse voice, her big grape-black eyes without a trace of color, covered with dark clouds and lifeless.
What she said was undoubtedly a bombshell.
Xiao Jihe and Sui Qian were both speechless.
Unexpectedly, the experience of an NPC little girl would be so miserable.
In silence, I suddenly heard the conversations of several other people at the table.
"Hey, are you going to go to the hot springs tonight?"
"What kind of hot spring are you soaking in? The murderer has not been found yet. Aren't you afraid that you will be killed when you go out?"
"But you can die even if you stay in the room. Didn't the first three people die in the room?"
"You're right to say that. Come on, it's better to have fun in the moment. Who cares!"
"Then it's settled. Don't wait until someone else gives in."
"Whoever doesn't go will be the grandson!"
After hearing the discussions among these NPCs, Sui Qian remembered that the most famous thing about this hotel was the hot spring in the back mountain.
This is part of the reason why the original owner chose to live here.
Wang Yutong finally saw his best friend at this time. He was overjoyed and walked over and patted the girl on the shoulder, "Qianqian, so you are here!"
She startled Sui Qian, but she didn't notice it herself and kept talking to herself: "Qian Qian, are you going to go to the hot spring to relax tonight?"
"??"
The girl was confused and blinked, "Yutong, do you really want to go?"
"I'm already here. It would be a lie to say I don't want to go at all." Wang Yutong said sheepishly, his voice getting lower and lower.
Sui Qian pursed her pink lips and said, "Then go ahead and don't leave any regrets to yourself."
"how about you?"
"I?"
The girl shook her head, "I don't really want to go."
How could she be in the mood to play? She just wanted to clear all the dungeons and return to the real world.
Wang Yutong couldn't help showing a disappointed expression when he heard this, "That's such a pity, I can only enjoy it by myself."
At night, Sui Qian slept on the small bed in the attic, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
During the day, she already knew who the deceased would be tonight, so logically she shouldn't be so nervous, but maybe it was because she had too many things on her mind, and her worries affected her sleep.
Turn the phone aside and open it.
The chat page is still on the conversation with Wang Yutong.
Yutong: Are you really not here to join us? It's very comfortable. There are few people here and it's quiet. Are you sure you won't think about it anymore?
Sui Qian: No, I don’t want to go to the back mountain, it’s too far...
Yutong: Oh, you should come with me, so you don’t feel so far away. You can walk and chat for a while and we’ll be there.
Sui Qian: It's okay, just take a good soak.
At this time, the girl looked at the chat history above, and for some reason, she suddenly had the urge to go to the back mountain.
It was obvious that she didn't want to go at all during the day!
In desperation, Sui Qian could only ask the system for help.
"Everything, what should I do? Can I go?"
[Yes, now is probably the quietest time to go. 】
Sui Qian was a little timid and asked with trembling eyelashes: "Will I die if I go out?"
The system was suddenly asked, [I really don’t know this...]
If it had the ability to predict the future, wouldn't it be directly supernatural?
[But if you want to go, go ahead. It would be bad if you have regrets. 】
The girl didn't really want to go, maybe because Wang Yutong kept urging her and she couldn't sleep, so she had a little expectation for the hot spring.
After thinking about it, she sat up and got out of bed.
When she walked out of the hotel, the cold wind blowing in her face made her hug her arms tightly.
The road to the back mountain was rugged and rugged. If it weren't for the night lights lighting up the whole way, she might have given up her thoughts and headed back home.
With trembling eyelashes, she hugged herself shiveringly and moved forward step by step.
Finally, after reaching the fork in the road, Sui Qian recalled what Wang Yutong said about the female soup in the north. She looked at the road marked north, and her clear green eyes blinked twice.
"It should be heading this way..."
She muttered something to herself, and then walked over there.
It wasn't until she saw the rising mist that the girl slowly stopped.
She knew she was probably there.
The fog was thick and it was hard to see clearly around. Sui Qian couldn't tell whether there was anyone inside.
Thinking that it was already very late and the bath she wanted to take had already been finished, so no one would be around, so she took off her bathrobe without any mental burden.
The bathrobe was placed on the edge of the pool, and the girl slowly soaked her body in the comfortable hot spring.
Not to mention that the hot springs here are very famous. As soon as she soaked in, the muscles and veins in her whole body seemed to be unblocked all at once, and she felt so comfortable that it was indescribable.
She was so young that she half-bent her beautiful crescent-shaped eyes, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised.
She sighed in her heart.
Unexpectedly, it’s so comfortable! It seems that Yutong did not lie to her.
