The middle-aged woman quickly left with her child in her arms.
Seeing this, Huanxiao and the other three followed her closely. After walking for a few minutes, they soon saw the town in this place.
It was a small town located next to the manor. Since the view was wide and unobstructed by debris, Huanxiao could see the white fog surrounding the edge of the town.
The white mist isolated the town from the outside world, like a huge cage, trapping everyone in this world.
The people in the small town are living and working in peace and contentment, with happy smiles on their faces, and they seem to be very satisfied with the current situation.
Everyone is accustomed to the existence of white mist, and regards white mist as a part of their lives.
So, when the curious woman in the red dress asked the residents what the white mist was, the answer they received was that it was the protection given to them by God.
The girl in the red skirt didn't understand and said to Huan Xiao and the guy in the swimsuit:
"Don't they yearn for the outside world? Aren't they curious about what it's like outside?"
"...They have grown up in this environment since they were young. People around them tell them that it is a natural phenomenon. Of course they are not curious about it." The man in swimsuit said.
"Be content with the status quo...well, they are different from us after all." The woman in the red dress relaxed her frown.
Without wasting any more time, Huan Xiao said to them: "It's time for us to separate. See you at the manor."
We had agreed before that we would separate when we got to the town, but now it was time to say goodbye.
Hearing this, the girl in the red dress wanted to stay.
She had a good impression of Huan Xiao during their interactions just now, and because Huan Xiao was the only player among the players who was not inexplicably obsessed with Mrs. Honghua, she was even more trustworthy.
But Huan Xiao still said firmly:
"The tasks must be done separately. We shouldn't give the exact same flowers to Mrs. Honghua. I'm sure she will be angry because of our perfunctory performance."
Just like a test, people who want to score higher than others are unlikely to show their test papers to others.
Although Huan Xiao did not intend to get high scores, this reason was very suitable for refusal.
Having said this, the girl in the red skirt stopped trying to stay and had no choice but to say goodbye to Huan Xiao with a smile.
Huan Xiao waved to them and walked into the town...
The middle-aged woman who had led the way had long since disappeared into the crowd.
As soon as you walk into the town, you can see stalls set up in many places with all kinds of beautiful flowers on them. The flowers are planted in flower pots and grow very well. It can be seen that they are cultivated with care.
There were peonies, jasmine lilies, carnations, lilies of the valley, etc., but most of them were flowers that Huan Xiao had never seen before.
There are flowers of various colors, just like the emperor choosing his concubine, they stand there quietly, waiting for players to choose.
Seeing Huan Xiao approaching, the residents who had placed the flowers all showed flattering smiles, talked about their flowers in a lavish way, and looked at Huan Xiao with expectant eyes.
Among them, there was a little girl who looked very young, about seven or eight years old, and there was no adult around her.
Thinking that it would be easier for children to communicate, Huan Xiao walked over.
When the little girl saw this, she immediately welcomed Huan Xiao with a smile:
"Sister, do you want to give the flowers I planted to Mrs. Honghua? Whichever flower you like, I will help you pick it!"
Huan Xiao didn't ask as soon as he walked over, but looked at a heart-shaped flower with white and red gradients and said:
"This flower is so beautiful! Although I like it very much, the flowers for Madam must be carefully selected. Only the most beautiful flowers can be worthy of Madam."
When the little girl heard this, she immediately held Huan Xiao's hand and said pitifully:
"Sister, choose mine. I fed all my flowers with my blood. I also used my favorite brother as flower fertilizer, just to grow the most beautiful flowers. Look, how beautiful it is! The lady will love it."
Many scars of different sizes can be seen on her body. Judging from their location, they should have been caused by the girl herself.
Huan Xiao's expression remained as usual.
As for the mental state of these small town residents, she had almost guessed it when she met the middle-aged woman just now. There was nothing surprising now.
Looking away from the brilliantly blooming flowers, Huanxiao asked:
"Little sister, I like all these flowers. Tell me, if I give all your flowers to Madam -"
"Can't!"
The little girl refused with an ugly face.
Huan Xiao was puzzled: "Why?"
"Because the lady will not accept it. You can only choose one flower to give to the lady, otherwise, the lady will be angry, she will definitely be angry!"
As the little girl spoke, she began to pick at her face nervously, leaving bloody streaks.
Seeing this scene, Huan Xiao continued:
"I can only give you one? That's a pity. It would be terrible if Madam is angry."
"Scary? Madam will not become scary! Madam is the most beautiful, and those who make her angry are scary... So, sister, don't send more than one flower to Madam. Choose quickly, my flowers will definitely make her Madam is happy."
The little girl's fingernails were covered with her own blood. The blood happened to drip on the flower and was absorbed by the snow-white petals, making the center of the flower turn red again.
But the little girl's mind was not on the flowers, so she did not notice the changes in the flowers.
She looked at Huan Xiao eagerly, waiting for Huan Xiao's choice.
But Huan Xiao had no choice.
As we all know, nothing good comes cheap.
Judging from the behavior of the residents in the town, it seems that they very much hope that players will choose their flowers without paying any price.
However, with Mrs. Honghua's character, would she really give them such an unchallenging task?
"Every flower is beautiful in its own way, so it's hard to choose. Little sister, besides the town, where else can I find flowers?" Huanxiao asked.
The little girl denied: "No! You can't find it!"
Then, as if she was afraid that Huanxiao wouldn't believe it, the little girl said in a more serious tone:
"There are no flowers anywhere except in town!"
Seeing her excited expression, Huan Xiao knew that flowers could be found elsewhere.
Moreover, the housekeeper said that flowers can be found on the mountain, and the little girl obviously lied.
It seems that what Mrs. Red Flower wants is not the flowers in the town, she has come to the wrong place.
Originally, Huan Xiao wanted to inquire about the origin of Mrs. Honghua, but after seeing the crazy behavior of these residents towards Mrs. Honghua, he could guess that there would be nothing useful to ask from them.
Seeing that Huan Xiao did not choose her flower, the little girl curled her lips:
"Well, if you don't want to choose mine, just choose someone else's. The flowers of my uncle and aunt are quite beautiful too. Although they are not as beautiful as mine, I believe Madam will also like them."
Seeing the little girl giving up so quickly, Huanxiao was confused:
"Don't you want to fight anymore?"
"Looking at my sister, I know there is no chance. I can wait for others to come." The little girl said gloomily.
Huan Xiao smiled and asked, "Are you going to give these flowers to the next batch of guests to choose from?"
These weird flowers look like they were grown with human blood, and I don’t know if they will wither or not. Maybe they will survive until the person who chooses them.
Just listen, the little girl said proudly: "Of course, sister, you don't know, we have a secret that can make flowers bloom forever and never wither. So, as long as I wait long, I will definitely be able to wait until the flowers are given to me." Madam’s day.”
