Chapter 44 Surprise or Shock?

Chapter 44: Surprise or Fright?

Upon hearing the system say there was a surprise ahead, Liu Yu immediately perked up and led everyone forward with great anticipation.

As soon as we reached the village entrance, we saw a large sign that read: "Welcome to the Magical Village, where surprises and frights abound!"

Liu Yu's heart skipped a beat: "Is this a surprise or a shock? It feels a bit unreliable."

Xiaoqing laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, who cares? Let's go in and take a look."

As the group entered the village, they found the people there to be quite strange. An old man had his face painted with brightly colored paint and was gesturing wildly; an older woman wore a huge floral cotton-padded jacket and walked like a penguin.

Liu Yu couldn't help but laugh: "What are all these things?"

Just as she was laughing, a child suddenly ran over, shoved something into Liu Yu's hand, and then ran away. Liu Yu looked down and saw it was a stinking durian.

Liu Yu pinched her nose and said, "What kind of surprise is this? It's a stench bomb!"

They continued walking and saw a large crowd gathered in front of a shop. Liu Yu curiously went over to investigate and found that they were selling a magical potion that supposedly made people fly.

Liu Yu's eyes lit up: "If this is true, that's amazing!"

Without saying a word, he bought a bottle and drank it down in one gulp. But after waiting for ages, he didn't fly away; instead, his stomach started to hurt.

Liu Yu clutched her stomach and cried out, "Ouch, what kind of lousy medicine is this? My stomach!"

Bai Suzhen said helplessly, "You are too impulsive. You buy things without even looking carefully."

Just then, an old man walked over and said mysteriously, "I know a place with real treasures. If you can pass the test, I will give them to you."

Upon hearing that there was a treasure, Liu Yu's stomachache disappeared, and she quickly said, "What test? We're not afraid!"

The old man led them to a courtyard where there was a large, fat pig and a pile of tools next to it.

The old man said, "Your task is to bathe this pig. If you can finish within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the treasure is yours."

Liu Yu was dumbfounded: "Giving a pig a bath? That's too bizarre!"

But for the sake of their precious pig, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and go for it. Liu Yu held a brush, Xiao Qing carried a bucket of water, Xu Xian held a towel, and Bai Suzhen directed from the side. The four of them were busy running around the pig.

The pigs were quite unruly, running around everywhere and splashing water all over them.

Liu Yu complained, "This pig is harder to deal with than a monster!"

After finally finishing washing the pig, the incense had already burned out.

Liu Yu said dejectedly, "Oh dear, all that work for nothing."

The old man smiled and said, "Seeing how hard you've worked, you can keep the treasure."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu jumped up with joy: "That's wonderful!"

The old man took out a box, and when Liu Yu opened it, she found a singing puppet inside.

Liu Yu was both amused and exasperated: "This is the treasure?"

Just then, the puppet suddenly started singing a song out of tune, loud and unpleasant.

Liu Yu quickly closed the box: "This isn't a treasure, it's a noise generator!"

They walked out of the courtyard and encountered a vendor selling candied hawthorns. Liu Yu bought a skewer of candied hawthorns, but as soon as she took a bite, she discovered that it was full of chili peppers.

Liu Yu's face turned bright red from the spiciness, and she gasped for breath, sticking out her tongue: "Why is this candied hawthorn spicy?!"

Everyone laughed until tears streamed down their faces.

Next, they saw a stage for magic performances. Liu Yu went up to join in the fun out of curiosity, and the magician asked him to cooperate in performing a magic trick where a person disappears into the air.

Liu Yu crawled into a box, and when she came out, she found that her clothes had been changed into a woman's dress and she was wearing a wig.

Liu Yu said awkwardly, "What kind of magic trick is this!"

The group encountered all sorts of strange and bizarre things in this magical village, resulting in constant laughs.

At this moment, the system spoke again: "Host, the real surprise is in the cave behind the village."

Liu Yu said with some skepticism, "Is this another attempt to fool me?"

But they still decided to go and explore the cave.

Entering the cave, it was pitch black inside, and strange noises could be heard from time to time.

Liu Yu was so frightened that she tightly gripped Bai Suzhen's hand: "Why do I feel a little scared?"

Xiaoqing mocked him: "Brother-in-law, aren't you supposed to be pretty brave?"

Suddenly, a bright light flashed, and they saw that the cave was filled with gold and silver treasures.

Liu Yu ran over excitedly: "Wow, this is really a surprise!"

Just as they were rejoicing, a gigantic monster emerged from the darkness...
