Chapter 4: The Heart Knot

"Dorothy has woken up too, how is her body now?" Zhao Xi said excitedly.

Although he had learned from Erin yesterday that Dorothy had been awake for a while, his worries were not so heavy, but when he heard that the little girl was in a coma again, he was still a little worried.

Hearing Vic say that after the little girl woke up again, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground, after all, he was not unconscious, it seems that the system still has quality assurance.

"I heard a report from the clansmen that the little girl named Dorothy woke up in the middle of the night last night, not only did she have no problem moving, but she seemed to be very excited, but she seemed to be a little confused, maybe she was not familiar with the environment of the tribe?"

Vic said as he led the way, shrugging his shoulders at the end, saying that he didn't quite understand what was going on.

"Maybe the little girl woke up and found herself in a new place, so she was a little scared. Zhao Xi guessed.

"Maybe, but that little girl has the same aura as that blood demon, she's fine. ”

Vic turned his head and looked at Zhao Xi with a serious face, wanting to get some answer from him.

"You're right, she does have something to do with the Blood Demon right now, but it's complicated to explain, and she's not harmful right now anyway, I can guarantee that. ”

Zhao Xi explained with an embarrassed face, after all, some things involved his system, and he was really embarrassed to explain everything clearly to Vic.

Vic stopped, turned around and stared at Zhao Xi behind him, and after a while he looked away like a knife, and although Zhao Xi was a little hidden, he was still very confident in Dorothy, so he looked back without showing weakness.

"Well, since it's your promise, I believe it, but if something really happens, don't blame me for being polite when the time comes. ”

"Of course, I promise that. ”

Zhao Xi patted his chest when he heard Vic's words, he knew from the beginning that Dorothy's changes could not be hidden from the transcendent professional, after all, the breath of blood was too obvious.

Not to mention Vic, who fought with the Blood Demon, even an ordinary knight can feel that Dorothy is wrong, but it can't be said that there is anything wrong.

He also understands Vic's concerns, after all, for the kobold who has just been hit hard by the blood demon, Dorothy can be regarded as a hidden bomb. family

It's okay not to turn his face on the spot and drive himself and the others out, not to mention that Vic is already willing to accept himself and others, saying those words in advance is already Vic's biggest concession, after all, he can't joke with the lives of his clansmen.

This kind of thing is useless no matter how high Zhao Xi's reputation is, if you think about it, someone else's family has just been destroyed by a murderer, and then you take the murderer's family to someone else's house as a guest, no matter how you think about it, the result is to be kicked out.

Not to mention that since Dorothy was mentioned, Zhao Xi's thoughts about eating were also light, and he always wanted to see Dorothy with his own eyes and confirm that she had nothing to do before he could completely put his mind at ease.

"Take me to Dorothy first, you can make sure with your own eyes and you can put your mind at ease. Zhao Xi looked at Vic's back in front of him and said.

"It's fine. Vic in front of him nodded silently.

"Erin's side..."

Zhao Xi didn't finish his sentence, and didn't continue to speak, he knew that Vic in front of him could understand what he meant.

Sure enough, Vic was stunned at Erin's voice, and then returned to normal.

"Irene's child's life is so miserable, it happened to me not long ago, and now I have lost my only loved one..."

Vic couldn't say anything more than he said it halfway, although he tried his best to ensure a flat tone, but his voice trembled slightly, and Zhao Xi could still hear it.

"Does she know?" Zhao Xi also lowered his head, lifted the stones on the grass with his feet, and asked in a low voice.

She didn't ask. Vic shook his head and said, "But she has been avoiding me since she found out that the Shaman is not in the tribe, and although she usually greets me, I can still feel the sense of distance." ”

After listening to Vic's words, Zhao Xi also understood why Erin spoke so quickly last night, so that he didn't even have a chance to interject, so he ran away in a hurry like a rabbit.

This is the little girl's own way of escaping reality, because she does not dare to accept the news of her grandfather's death, so she refuses to be accosted by others, telling herself this cruel truth, and can only use this method to deceive herself.

Wanting this, Zhao Xi couldn't help but sigh and didn't continue to speak.

And after Vic in front heard Zhao Xi's sigh, he also sighed deeply, and the two of them kept this state and walked towards Dorothy's house.

......

Zhao Xi looked at the simple wooden house in front of him, and for a while he was a little afraid and continued to walk forward, as if there was some fierce monster inside.

Just as he hesitated, he heard Dorothy's voice coming from inside the room.

"Is it Mr. Donn? I seem to smell you, the door is unlocked, you just come in. ”

After Zhao Xi heard Dorothy's words, he finally made up his mind, but as soon as he took a step, he turned his head and asked Vic next to him.

"Won't you go in with me?"

Vic shook his head and said: "I believe that you will have a lot to say when you meet this time, I won't go in and disturb you, after all, there will definitely be a lot of private things to talk about, and it's not good for me to be an outsider." ”

After listening to Vic's words, Zhao Xi glanced at Vic gratefully, and then strode towards the wooden house.

He pulled the door of the hut open slightly, and a room about the size of his own room appeared, and he looked in the direction of the bed, where Dorothy was sitting on the bed with an unknown book in her hand, and smiled at him when she saw him enter.

The girl in the linen blouse sat quietly on the bed, the coarse cloth clothes could not hide her natural beauty, her white hand held a book that had been reading for some years, and the quiet smile on her face made Zhao Xi's originally impetuous heart instantly quiet.

"Dorothy..."Zhao Xi had a lot to say, but found that his voice seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't say anything.

He suddenly felt a drop of water slip across his face, and wiped it with his hand only to realize that he didn't know what was already in tears.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all because of me, if it weren't for my talking, Uncle John wouldn't have gone to the castle to find any evidence, and he wouldn't have had so many things next, it's all because of me, otherwise..."

Zhao Xi knelt on the ground, not daring to look at Dorothy's eyes at all, tears flowed out like no money, and his hands directly scratched the newly changed pants, and kept repenting like a sinner.

Before he could finish speaking, he felt his head being held into a somewhat cold embrace, and the sudden change directly made Zhao Xi stunned in place, and even forgot to shed tears.

"I don't blame you, Mr. Donn. ”

Dorothy hugged Zhao Xi's head into her arms and patted his head gently, as if she was coaxing a child.

"My father is that kind of character, even if there is no you, he will go to find out, he has always been like that, even if his mother and he quarreled countless times because of this, he has not changed in the slightest. ”

Dorothy's eyes were full of memories, as if she remembered the past, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"But..."

Before Zhao Xi could finish speaking, his mouth was blocked by Dorothy's hand.

"No, even my life was saved by you, and now there is still your blood in this body, in a sense, you are also my relative. ”

Little girl, oh no, Dorothy's current appearance is no longer the appearance of a little girl, under the effect of the bloodline transformation potion, she now looks like a girl of fifteen or sixteen.

The girl gently placed her chin on Zhao Xi's head, and wrapped her hands around Zhao Xi's head, wanting to eliminate the uneasiness and guilt of the man in front of her.

Zhao Xi smelled the faint body fragrance on the girl's body and the soft touch on her face, and there was no trace of evil thoughts in his heart, but he felt a long-lost peace of mind, this feeling had never been felt since his parents died.

"You know it all. Zhao Xi said a little embarrassed.

The girl nodded lightly and said, "Sister Cornelia told me everything when I woke up, and the potion that can revive me in that situation must be very precious." ”

"Is it precious?"

Zhao Xi thought about it, judging from Alex's gains, he not only lost at least one trophy of purple equipment this time, but also lost most of his body value.

But what is this? Now it is enough for Dorothy to stand in front of him alive, and if someone tells him to exchange all the things he has for the resurrection of old John or something, he is willing to do so, after all, if the things are gone, they can be earned again, and if the people are gone, they are really gone.

"It's just a bottle of ordinary potion, more than a few dollars. ”

As soon as Zhao Xi finished speaking, he felt that the girl hugged his head tighter, his face had been attached to the softness of the girl's chest, and the amazing touch made Zhao Xi blush a little.

"You're a liar!"

"It's really not precious..."

Zhao Xi originally wanted to pretend to be relaxed and say that it was not a big deal, but the girl directly interrupted him.

"Although I don't know the specific value of potions, but I'm not stupid, everything that can save lives is priceless, and I have such a powerful force after waking up. ”

Zhao Xi just wanted to continue to deny it, but before the words could be spoken, he felt a familiar power and a faint smell of blood from the girl's body.
