NFBE Chapter 73 A Loving Family
Chapter 73 A Loving Family
"hiss!"
Li Qingchen gasped, completely stunned.
Dead? He's dead just like that?
He simply pushed open the door and went into his sister's room.
He didn't even touch anything dangerous, so how could he suddenly die?
What was the cause of death?
Was someone plotting against him in secret?
Or is there some strange trap in my sister's room?
Or perhaps he broke some rule?
Can't figure it out.
Fortunately, there are enough resurrections to continue trying and failing.
You step outside again and see your mother cooking over a fire.
[Mother: "Where's your sister?"]
The game also presents two choices.
Li Qingchen chose option one this time:
Refuse to answer your mother's question and simply walk away to avoid saying anything that might cause trouble.
Your mother frowned: "This child, I'm talking to you, why are you pretending not to hear!"
You've made up your mind not to respond.
Your mother, at her wits' end, said, "Come here and tend the fire, I'm going to call that brat."
You diligently tend the fire, and after a while, your mother returns.
You did not see your sister, Lin Wan.
"Lin Mo, go and help serve the porridge."
You nodded: "Okay."
You served yourself two bowls of porridge and took two pairs of chopsticks.
"Hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, I'll have your father take you to the academy."
You nodded in agreement.
You pick up the bowl and drink the porridge.
Your plain porridge has suddenly been stained red with blood.
You touched your nose and realized that your nosebleed had fallen into the bowl.
You touched your eyes and found that you were constantly shedding tears of blood.
You touched your ear; it was full of blood.
[You hear the soft laughter of the Blessed One again.]
You died again.
……
Li Qingchen scratched his head.
He seemed to have a vague idea of how he died.
It must be said that compared to the previous maps, this dungeon is extremely difficult, with frequent deaths and very few clues.
You've woken up. Your mother wants you to call your sister for dinner.
What are you going to do?
You continue to feign deafness and muteness, appearing as if you've just woken up and are slow to react, as if you haven't heard your mother's words.
The mother frowned and muttered, "This child, has he become stupid from sleeping? He won't even move when I call his sister for dinner, I have to go myself."
After a while, your mother returned.
You still haven't seen your sister.
"Lin Mo, go help serve the porridge."
You're quick and efficient; you've served it to me in no time.
You brought three bowls of porridge and three pairs of chopsticks.
After doing all this, you stand by the table, quietly observing your mother's reaction.
Seeing you standing there in a daze, your mother said unhappily, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and eat! Your father will take you both to school later. Don't be late; the tutor hates late children the most."
"It's a success."
Li Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief, her heart finally at ease. Sure enough, as long as "Lin Mo" believed that his sister existed and acted according to this setting—serving three bowls of porridge and preparing three sets of chopsticks—he wouldn't inexplicably trigger the death trap and would be safe for the time being.
But why can't I see her?
The game continues.
With a creak, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a tall, burly man walked in.
He was dressed as a butcher, wearing coarse cloth clothes stained with oil, with the cuffs rolled up to reveal his strong arms.
His hands were still stained with some dark red dirt, and he smelled faintly of blood.
He is your father.
"Have you finished eating? I'll take you to your private school; you'll be late if you stay any longer."
"Right away, right away." You quickly lowered your head, pretending to frantically shovel the porridge into your bowl, but your eyes were constantly darting around, keeping a close watch on your father, not daring to relax for a moment.
You followed your parents out of the house and onto the street.
Your father, a butcher, is quite wealthy in Qingxi Town and is known for his lavish spending. He has already prepared a carriage, which is parked at the door.
The carriage looked very grand, but it seemed out of place in this small town.
Your father walked to the carriage, opened the door, but suddenly frowned, turned to your mother, and said:
"Madam, the town's sacrificial festival is coming up soon. I'm a bit busy today; I have to go to the slaughterhouse to take care of some work and prepare the offerings. Why don't you come and see them off?"
"Hey, you're always giving me trouble. The kids are clearly closer to you."
Your mother looks at you:
"Lin Mo, who do you and your sister want to send you to the private school?"
The game provides options.
1. The butcher's father, he looked reliable and steady, and was tall and strong.
If there is danger, he may be able to provide protection; he is a reliable adult.
2. A virtuous mother: Although she may nag a bit, she is thoughtful and cares about your feelings. Moreover, she hasn't shown any direct danger in your previous interactions, making her relatively safe.
Li Qingchen's eyes darted around as he quickly began to calculate in his mind.
The mother is a strong suspect.
Last time, she might have deliberately led me to my sister's room, intending to make me die a horrible death.
The father had a strange smell of blood on him, and his whereabouts were also somewhat suspicious.
Neither of them are simple.
Li Qingchen thought to himself that no matter which one it was, he was going to give it a try.
You chose to have your father, who seemed more reliable, drive you.
You boarded the carriage.
The carriage bumped and swayed along the uneven streets of Qingxi Town.
You felt a little uncomfortable from the shaking; your chest churned, and your stomach ached slightly.
You try asking, "Could you ride a little slower?"
Your father ignored you.
Li Qingchen frowned.
The father's reaction was very unusual.
He clearly heard what I said, but deliberately ignored me.
There are still two options:
First, tell your father that you are feeling unwell and that if you don't ride slower, you'll jump off the bike.
Second, continue to endure.
The first option is somewhat threatening.
"Let's try to coexist peacefully for now."
You choose to continue enduring it.
You felt nauseous, but you couldn't hold it in, and you threw up.
However, what you vomited was your very heart, liver, spleen, and lungs.
【you are dead. 】
"..."
Li Qingchen is numb, and he's dead again!
He still died mysteriously!
"What if we choose the first one?"
Li Qingchen tried again.
Following his previous choice, he arrived at the step of riding in his father's carriage.
This time, he chose to tell his father that if he didn't ride slower, he would jump off the bike.
However, in the end, he jumped out of the car and died instantly!
"Could it be that the person delivering it did something wrong?"
You followed your parents out of the house and onto the street.
"Lin Mo, who do you and your sister want to send you to the private school?"
You chose a mother who seems very weak.
