Hearing Dog-Boy's words, Sun Baolu took out a card from the fan of long, leaf-shaped cards in his hand and played it.
"I saw Brother Li going to find the village blacksmith, looked like he was talking about making something. Right, Dog-Boy, didn't Brother Li ask you to gather information? And here you are playing with leaf cards? Aren't you afraid he'll scold you when he gets back?"
"Dog-Boy, what Dog-Boy! Call me Cao Cao!" Dog-Boy said with a displeased expression as he tossed out a card.
"This little village is only so big, where's the need to go to any trouble? Besides, I took those two brats along to inquire. It didn't take long before we found out; the old folks in the village all say the forest to the west has worms that eat people. They warned us never to go there."
"You're planning to go there? No, you really shouldn't. Ten years ago, my mother saw flying worms twining in the sky!" blurted an onlooker who had been watching the card game.
