Conan's winery play house

Chapter 173 It’s still the hunter exam

Aito successfully made an agreement with Mr. Magician.

Satisfied and ready to leave.

Hisoka looked at the 402 number plate worn by Dafu Xiong who was standing nearby, raised the corner of his mouth, but didn't say anything.

Even the 385 number plate, which he had just received, he did not ask Aito about returning.

The two people left in opposite directions.

Aito started hanging out with Dafu and Cookie.

The forest is also very beautiful at night, with many animals that dare not come out during the day peeking out quietly in the dark.

Aito walked in the forest without causing any noise or scaring away the animals.

"It's Mr. Dongba..." He stopped in front of a tree and looked up.

Two figures were tied up with ropes and hung on the tree.

"...Oh...we meet again." Dongba said hello dryly with a complicated expression.

"Did Mr. Dongba and his companions offend anyone?" Aito asked curiously.

"Is this...there was an accident..." Dongba looked a little embarrassed to say anything.

"In this case, let Mr. Dongba tell me the story tonight." Aito said thoughtfully.

Then he sat down cross-legged on the tree.

"Well, let's talk about it, can you put us down first?" Dongba cautiously probed.

"But being hung on a tree won't affect Mr. Dongba's storytelling, right?" Aito said in a confused tone.

Since it doesn't affect telling him stories, why put them down?

As long as they were hung and unable to move, they could only tell him stories honestly.

Dongba grinded his teeth and looked at the boy sitting below, playing cards with the stuffed bear and Shiba Inu, and a string of curses ran through his heart.

Play poker like Hisoka, are all poker players crazy?!

Although he was cursing in his heart, Dongba still vividly told the story of why they were hung on the tree.

It turned out that he and his companions defrauded Leorio and got the other party's number plate. They were about to escape, but they were stopped by Kurapika who suddenly appeared.

Then the two of them were beaten up by Leorio and Kurapika, and they were tied up and hung on a tree.

While Aito imitated Mr. Magician and built a card tower, he also performed some responses to Dongba's story from time to time.

"That's it."

"You guys are really good at fraud."

"As expected of Kurapika and Leorio."

Very supportive.

Although Dongba didn't like his support.

When Dongba's mouth was dry and he had nothing to say, Aito's card tower was finally completed.

He put away the cards, stretched out his hands towards Dafu, and was hugged by a bear.

"Goodbye, Mr. Dongba and his companions. Thank you for your story. Good night." Aito politely said goodbye to the two hung people and left in front of them.

"Hello--"

"Don't go, hey-"

"Put us down -" The two people hanging on the tree were swinging wildly.

Neither the man nor the bear nor the dog looked back.

…

Aito, Dafu and Cookie returned to the creek where they had barbecued.

The fire was rekindled.

Sitting next to the stream, I chose fast forward.

But because the exam is not over yet, I cannot fast forward.

"We have to wait for several days..." The white-haired boy sat on the lap of the stuffed bear, resting his head on the bear's soft body and closed his eyes.

Then go to sleep.

Late at night, a slight movement came, but he did not open his eyes.

Xiaojie, whose face was swollen from Hisoka's punch, walked over tremblingly.

He saw a stuffed bear, a boy and a Shiba Inu that seemed to be resting beside the stream.

Cross them toward the creek.

Then he fell into the creek.

Not long after, he got up again and left the creek.

Climbed into a tree hole.

Aito opened his eyes and looked at the figure climbing into the tree hole, with no emotion in his eyes.

It wasn't until he saw the other person lying on the ground, chewing on the roots of the book cover in the tree hole, that he blinked.

He used to eat like this occasionally.

Although most of the time, the so-called "mom and dad" feed him personally, but they can't feed him food when they are crazy.

One second he was brought food, and the next second he would go crazy and knock over the food. After that, he might stay and beat him, or he might leave the room directly.

He could only rely on the sound of tableware falling or his sense of smell to guess where the spilled food was.

Then, like Xiaojie now, he lay on the ground, looking for the knocked over food.

He looked at the figure who was chewing and swallowing tree roots and bark with difficulty, and guessed his posture at that time.

It should be similar to Xiaojie.

He nodded confidently.

The figure in the tree hole finally swallowed the root, but couldn't help but spit it out.

Then he let out a suppressed cry.

Aituo couldn't quite understand why Xiaojie was crying.

Is it because the roots and bark are too unpalatable?

He rubbed his eyes, stopped observing the other person with six eyes, took out a candy from his body, opened it and put it into his mouth, and continued to sleep.

Will any hunters arrive tonight?

Until dawn broke and the sky was bright, the hunter did not arrive.

Aito sat by the stream for three days without seeing a single candidate come to him.

He looked at the number plate in his hand.

16,401,402,385……

Among them, 402 is a useless number plate, and 385 is just a little number plate to him.

That means he now has seven points.

"Aito, it's great. You are still here. I was worried that you had left." Xiaojie's figure suddenly appeared, his words revealed surprise and joy, and then he also sat next to the creek.

There is no special smell on Aito, nor on Dafu and Cookie.

It's as clean as if it doesn't exist.

Otherwise Xiaojie can find them by following the smell.

"Because I don't know where to go, I originally wanted to see if anyone else would take the initiative to come to me, but it didn't happen at all." Aito said to Xiaojie with a disappointed expression.

"Really? That's really unlucky." Xiaojie said, rubbing the back of his head with great concern.

"Then, do you want to join me? Let's go find Kurapika, Killua and the others." Gon stared at the white-haired boy wearing sunglasses with wide eyes.

"That's okay. Speaking of which, I have Kurapika's target number plate." Aito nodded and agreed to Gon's invitation.

"Kurapika's goal? You even know his goal, that's amazing." Gon said with an admiring expression.

"So, can you give this number plate to Kurapika?" Gon then asked.

"Okay, anyway, to me, it's just a number plate, but Kurapika has to exchange it with me for other number plates." Aito said to Xiaojie.

"Don't worry, Kurapika will definitely be willing. Aito, have you already got six points?" Xiaojie assured first, and then asked.

"Yes, I have already obtained Mr. Dongba's number plate, and my own number plate has not been taken away by Mr. Magic. He doesn't seem to be planning to steal my number plate." Aito took out two numbers.

Said the card.

16 and 401.

Mr. Magician's smile when he saw the 402 number plate on Dafu meant that he already knew that 401 was on Aito.

After all, Aito got the number plate 401 by killing another candidate at the beginning.

But Mr. Magician had no intention of robbing him and left in a very happy mood.

I was called a stepmother and fell into deep thought.
