Chapter 1827: Chapter 1672: Escape Game 24

Although the large intestine had already been processed before, if you wanted it to taste good without any strange smell, it still needed a more thorough cleaning.

When Jinhua bent over to scrub the pig intestines, a section of her clothes at the waist slid upward, revealing a patch of skin on her waist.

Miao Shuangshuang looked over without meaning to, and ended up discovering that on Jinhua’s waist there was actually a very delicate tattoo!

Miao Shuangshuang froze for a moment. A tattoo? Could it be that people in this village have a custom of getting tattoos?

Thinking that the tattoo might be some kind of clue, Miao Shuangshuang walked over and deliberately said, "Auntie, this intestine is hard to wash. Why don’t I help you with it?"

While she spoke, Miao Shuangshuang’s gaze stayed on the tattoo at the small of Jinhua’s back. The tattoo was a Phoenix design, vivid and lifelike. It was clear the tattoo artist who had inked her was very skilled.

The part of the tattoo exposed on the outside showed the Phoenix’s head and half its body; the tail was wrapped under her pants.

Jinhua didn’t realize Miao Shuangshuang was looking at her tattoo. She smiled and said, "No need, this intestine is too dirty. A delicate little girl like you shouldn’t be doing such filthy work, I’ll do it myself."

Miao Shuangshuang squatted down with a smile, took a section of intestine and said with a laugh, "It’s fine, I’ve washed intestines at home too. Auntie Jinhua, does your village have any specialties? I want to buy some."

Jinhua thought for a moment and said, "Not really. Our village is actually quite ordinary. We don’t have any long-standing culture, and no special agricultural products. It’s just that the scenery is pretty good."

Miao Shuangshuang deftly washed the intestines in her hands and smiled as she said, "Scenery is the best specialty. In fact, there are a lot of things in a village that you yourselves don’t think much of, but to outsiders they feel especially novel.

Like before, I once traveled to a village in the south. That village had a special culture: men and women both liked to have tattoos on their bodies, and the old folks in the village were all very skilled at tattooing.

They used pigments made from plants picked from the mountain to do the tattoos. Once done, the tattoos were bright and beautiful, really nice to look at.

I wonder if your village has this kind of tattoo custom, if there are any master elders who are skilled at tattooing?"

Jinhua thought for a bit and shook her head. "Our village really doesn’t have that habit. I’ve never heard of anyone going to get a tattoo, and never heard of anyone in the village who’s good at tattooing."

Miao Shuangshuang grabbed a handful of alkali powder and kept rubbing the intestines, smiling as she said to Jinhua, "So Auntie, did you grow up in the village since you were little? Have you ever left the village?"

"No. I’m someone born and raised in Lao Mountain Village, and I’ve never left Lao Mountain Village." Jinhua answered naturally.

Miao Shuangshuang carefully observed Jinhua and found that she answered without the slightest hesitation, and showed no sign of guilt or unnaturalness at all.

After exchanging a few more words, Miao Shuangshuang helped Jinhua finish washing the intestines and went to wash her hands. While Miao Shuangshuang was washing her hands, Xiao Zhongjing walked over and washed his hands beside her.

As he washed, Xiao Zhongjing lowered his voice and said to Miao Shuangshuang, "I saw that tattoo too. I don’t get tattoos myself, but I know a very skilled tattoo artist.

That tattoo of hers is exquisitely made, and the pigments used are very expensive. That tattoo must have been there for many years, yet the fading isn’t serious.

A tattoo that refined can only be done by a master in a big-city parlor, and the price is high. People in a not-so-affluent village like Lao Mountain Village absolutely wouldn’t be willing to spend that kind of money."

Xiao Zhongjing knew that Miao Shuangshuang’s task was to protect him, so ever since he believed he had really entered a game, he had been sticking close to her.

When Miao Shuangshuang saw the tattoo on Jinhua just now, naturally Xiao Zhongjing also saw it along with her.

Miao Shuangshuang nodded and lowered her voice. "Jinhua’s reaction looked very normal. She said she’s never left Lao Mountain Village, and that part didn’t show any flaws.

But she has a tattoo on her body that simply couldn’t have been done in Lao Mountain Village. So either her acting is very good, or there’s something wrong with her."

There were people coming and going in the courtyard around them, so they couldn’t talk too much. After washing her hands, Miao Shuangshuang shot Xiao Zhongjing a look, signaling that they’d continue after dinner back in the room. Xiao Zhongjing understood and shut his mouth.

It wasn’t until dinner that Ye Fuyu finally came out of the room and sat at the table to eat with everyone, but no one really wanted to talk to her.

After dinner, everyone as usual went into the room to share clues. Seeing Ye Fuyu following behind, Chen Fei said, "You sit here at the door and help keep an eye on what’s going on in the courtyard."

Ye Fuyu frowned. She knew that Miao Shuangshuang and Chen Fei were going to exchange information and clues. If she went to guard the door, wouldn’t she miss out on the clues?

Ye Fuyu felt that Chen Fei and Miao Shuangshuang were deliberately excluding her, and immediately said with some reluctance, "Why do I have to guard the door? There are so many of you, can’t one of you guard the door?"

Chen Fei was almost amused with anger. He said coldly, "Even if you plan to cling to us and scrape by to clear the level, you should at least be of some use, right? All of us went out to collect information and clues today, so of course we need to gather and share.

But you’ve been idle the whole time. You can’t even handle something as simple as watching the door. When something happens, are you planning to expect no one to help you and shoulder it all yourself, or just go die? Do you think the game is that easy to get through?"

Ye Fuyu’s face twisted. Her lips moved, and her gaze swept over Miao Shuangshuang and the others, then suddenly pointed at Xiao Zhongjing. "Hasn’t he been useless too? Why don’t you have him guard the door?"

Miao Shuangshuang frowned, feeling a bit displeased. "Who said Xiao Zhongjing is useless? He went out with me to look for clues, so of course he needs to share them together."

Although Xiao Zhongjing was a bit too wary, he wasn’t someone who refused to accept reality and made trouble on purpose. He genuinely suspected he’d been kidnapped.

When he didn’t understand the game rules, he kept quiet and didn’t cause trouble. When it was time to help look for clues, he didn’t slack off either. Compared to Ye Fuyu, who coasted along on everyone else’s efforts the whole time, he was much better.

Lin Yu and Zhao Chu had long been seated at the table, waiting impatiently. After hearing Miao Shuangshuang, Lin Yu directly said, "You guys stop wasting words on her. Whether she watches the door or not doesn’t matter.

Since she refuses to contribute, when there’s danger later, just let her handle it herself. Let’s hurry and share our clues. Zhao Chu and I found some incredible information today."

Chen Fei also felt there was no need to be angry at Ye Fuyu, who might not even survive a single game.

He simply left Ye Fuyu off to the side and ignored her, going over to sit with the others, ready to share the information he had gathered today.

Seeing this, Ye Fuyu’s face went pale then flushed several times, looking extremely unpleasant.
