Chapter 451 Impersonation?
"Well, it seems that you really like it..."
The village chief was very surprised.
No one expected that Pan Xiaoxiao, who looked capable, would actually do something like "stealing the dates to eat".
Alyssa had a worried look on her face, her eyes jumping back and forth between Pan Xiaoxiao and Lu Li, not knowing what to do next.
"Pan Xiaoxiao is really impulsive..."
Lu Li sighed silently in his heart, and immediately put on a regretful expression, cooperating with the woman's behavior:
"Hahaha, that's fine, ladies first, if you like it, just eat more."
"Village Chief, I came here to discuss business details with you. Could you please move over and talk with me?"
"Of course! I'm really sorry, my attention was all on the dates, haha..." The village chief smiled kindly and led the way into the house.
It seems that Pan Xiaoxiao's actions have completely made him let down his guard.
Lu Li followed closely behind, and at the same time called up the data panel and sent a message in the small group:
"@潘晓晓, you shouldn't be so impulsive and eat so many dates at once."
Pan Xiaoxiao grinned and replied immediately:
"If I don't rush to eat it, the village chief will definitely force you to eat it."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu Li, this is the best solution I can think of..."
Lu Li frowned slightly.
Pan Xiaoxiao is right.
If you want to successfully break through without delaying the process of clearing the secret realm, this is indeed the best solution.
But it was too risky.
Eating so many dates at once is basically gambling with your life!
The restrictions of a slave contract are not strong enough to change a person's character.
I think Pan Xiaoxiao did this out of her own heart.
"Find an excuse to leave and head to the north of the village to find the village doctor Jia Jishi for treatment!"
Lu Li didn't think about it any further, but just reminded again and again:
"You have to be quick, otherwise if you faint on the road, the villagers will stare at you!"
Alyssa shook her cat ears and immediately replied to Lu Li:
"Master, how about Pan Xiaoxiao and I go together? With you here, we can still collect clues."
Lu Li: "That would be best, but I'm worried that the village chief is suspicious and won't let both of you go at the same time."
As soon as the message was sent, the three heard the village chief urging:
"What are you waiting for? Come in quickly..."
"coming."
Lu Li responded and turned back to signal Pan Xiaoxiao to hurry up.
The latter understood what he meant, and suddenly he looked as if he was in a state of shock, and cried out in surprise:
"Oops, look at my poor memory. I forgot to bring my camera."
"I'm sorry, Village Chief. I have to go to the entrance of the village to get it. I'll come back to see the snail woman later."
After saying that, Pan Xiaoxiao quickened her pace and walked outside.
Seeing this, Alyssa immediately took up the topic:
"I'll go with you."
However, just as the cat-eared girl was about to leave, the village chief stopped her with a smile:
"Just get the camera. One person is enough."
"The village is full of people coming and going. It's very safe. Just stay at my house and wait for your classmates to come back."
“This…” Alyssa’s expression froze and she looked at Lu Li.
The young man had expected this, his eyes were helpless and he shook his head slightly.
"It's okay, I can get it myself, Alyssa, just stay at the village chief's house and wait for me..."
As they were talking, Pan Xiaoxiao had already walked out of the yard.
Seeing that the cat-eared girl didn't follow, he immediately understood what he meant and continued to pave the steps.
"Well then...Xiaoxiao, please come back soon..."
Alyssa’s eyes were full of worry, but she could only watch Pan Xiaoxiao leave.
Led by the village chief, the two quickly entered the house.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a group of children rushing out in a mess.
There are seven rough human heads in total.
Each one has a rosy complexion and is full of energy.
At first glance, you can tell that he is a very pampered person.
But what puzzled Alyssa was that these seven children were all boys.
The older one is in his teens, and the younger one is two or three years old.
There was not a single girl in sight.
"What cute children! They must be the apple of the eye of the village chief, right?"
Lu Li looked at these noisy children with a calm expression.
"Hehe, the kid is very naughty. He just plays around all day and doesn't do any serious work."
Although the village chief said he disliked her, his eyes were filled with doting:
"Take this sister to your mother. I want to discuss the matter of harvesting dates with this gentleman."
The children were noisy, talking to each other:
"We just harvested the dates a few days ago, how come they are here again so soon?"
"Yes, yes, this man looks unfamiliar, not like the merchant who collected dates a few days ago."
"Dad, could he be fake?"
"Could it be those old men who have nothing to do after eating? Impersonating date merchants?"
Upon hearing this, the village chief pretended to be angry and said:
"What bullshit are you talking about? Be careful or I'll beat your asses up!"
When the children saw that they were going to be beaten, they quickly moved away.
But he still insisted:
"Obviously, all the date merchants are very dark-skinned, how could they be as fair as him?"
"Dad, please don't be fooled. He might really be an imposter."
"Unless, unless he can prove that he is a date merchant!"
The village chief glared and raised his voice by another three points:
"Still making trouble? Are you really not afraid of my feather duster?!"
At the same time, he turned to Lu Li and said with a smile:
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Children speak without restraint. I'm asking you to prove your identity."
"You said they are so young, how could they understand, haha..."
"No problem." Lu Li, who already knew the strategy to pass the level, naturally knew what the village chief was up to.
At the moment, it seemed like a child's mischief, but in fact it was a test by the suspicious village chief.
If he really takes advantage of the situation and doesn't prove his identity.
I was afraid that once I got into the house, I would be forced to eat a dozen dates again.
Lu Li waved his hand and said calmly:
"This incident happened suddenly, and I'm a new face, so I do have to explain a few things."
"May I ask the village chief if there are any snail seeds for sale these days?"
The village chief's expression froze, and the suspicion in his eyes disappeared.
After laughing twice, he whispered:
"Yes, yes. The snail women in the village have been resting for a while. It's totally fine."
"Then let's just follow the old rules." Lu Li looked experienced, like a real date merchant:
"Okay, okay, the old rules!" The village chief's face was as bright as a chrysanthemum, and he immediately scolded the children around him:
"Go away, what are you still doing here? Take this sister to see your mother!"
The children scattered, and only two of them held Alyssa's hands, one on each side, and walked towards the small cave on the other side.
Lu Li gave the cat-eared girl a cautious look, then followed the village chief into the house.
There is nothing special about the furnishings in the house.
However, compared with other villagers, he has a lot more high-end furniture, which seems a little inconsistent with the hardship of this barren land.
The village chief made tea and poured water, and quickly got ready to entertain the guests.
But when he turned around, he found that Lu Li was searching the house as if no one was around.
The village chief's teapot shook at his overbearing and rude appearance, and the scalding tea almost spilled on his feet.
