Chapter 32: Nightfall
Thinking that there might be a madman like a terrorist who jumped out of the shadows from time to time to carry out a terrorist attack on himself, Zhao Xi's head was a little big.
"Next time you level up, improve your fitness. β
Zhao Xi leaned back in the chair with his eyes closed, let out a sigh in his heart, and then stopped caring about these worries.
As the carriage shook rhythmically, Zhao Xi didn't know when he had fallen asleep.
By the time he woke up again, the caravan had stopped to rest, and the mercenaries had already started to light a fire and cook.
Zhao Xi followed the light shining through the window and saw that he was the only one left in the entire carriage, and Cornelia and Dorothy didn't know when they had gotten off the car.
He stretched his waist, and there was a crackling sound in his body, feeling the recovered body, and he couldn't help but nod.
He slowly pushed open the car door and found that the driver had also left, and the campfire had been lit in the camp outside, and the fragrance had penetrated Zhao Xi's nose.
He jumped out of the carriage and found that it was Dorothy preparing the meal today, and Cornelia didn't know where she had gone.
"Dorothy, where is Cornelia?" Zhao Xi asked Dorothy, who was cutting jerky with a knife.
"Sister Cornelia, she was called away by the mercenary and said that she had asked her to help with something. β
Dorothy heard Zhao Xi's question, stopped what she was doing, and thought about it.
"Have you been there for a long time?" Zhao Xi slowly walked towards Dorothy's side.
"It didn't take long, only an hour or so?" Dorothy looked up at Don who was slowly approaching her and said, "Is it important for Don to find Sister Cornelia?"
Zhao Xi sat next to Dorothy, looked at the girl's half-cut dried meat and said, "That's not true, just see that she's not there, just ask where she went." β
"Is that so?" Dorothy looked at Zhao Xi beside her suspiciously and said, "Isn't it because of worry?"
Zhao Xi almost choked on his own saliva when he heard Dorothy's question, his face flushed and he began to cough violently.
"Worried about her?
After Zhao Xi stopped coughing, he hurriedly defended.
"Huh, huh?"
Dorothy smiled and narrowed her eyes, like a little fox who had been stealing a chicken.
"Of course, who would worry about her! Who would let her slander me every day!"
Zhao Xi didn't dare to look at Dorothy, so he had to turn his head to look at the fire on the side.
"Then I'm going to disappear suddenly, will Don be worried?"
A burst of sweet and bloody aura unique to Dorothy's body drilled straight into Zhao Xi's nose, causing Zhao Xi to look back and see what was going on.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw that Dorothy's white and immaculate little face was almost attached to him, and her big eyes were full of smiles, as if waiting for his answer.
"Of course, and Dorothy, you're a little too close. β
Zhao Xi's old face was flushed, his eyes were wandering, and he didn't dare to look at the beautiful girl in front of him.
"Huh?" Dorothy snorted, "Is it close?"
"Mmmm, it's almost pasted!" Zhao Xi stepped back a small distance without leaving a trace, making his situation no longer so embarrassing.
"I heard that the nobles have fiancΓ©es or something, Tang En, do you have one?" The girl carefully looked at Zhao Xi's face, as if she wanted to find flowers from it.
"That's... How could I have that kind of thing?" Zhao Xi said after a moment's hesitation.
He naturally didn't have it, but he wasn't sure if there would be any fiancΓ©e in the identity that the system arranged for him, and when he learned that his family was in decline, he came to the door to withdraw from the marriage, and he couldn't bear the humiliation of his own sentence Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young man to be poor...
Ahem, it's a bit of a cross-flavor, but Zhao Xi, who knows the degree of urinary nature of his own system, is still a little weak in answering this question.
Although it is a bit to drop a wife from the sky or something, Zhao Xi believes that his system can do it.
"Really?" the girl continued to ask, still a little reluctant.
"Yes!" Zhao Xi nodded stubbornly.
"Hahahaha. β
The girl saw the embarrassment of the other party, let out a chuckle like a silver bell, and slowly sat up straight.
Zhao Xi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the girl leave, and slowly sat up straight.
"You're a little different than you used to be, Dorothy. β
He watched as the girl picked up the knife again and cut the hard jerky, and blurted out a sentence.
"Yes? I don't think so. β
Dorothy replied without looking up, as if her eyes were only on the slate of the jerky, which had been cut in half.
"Maybe I'm feeling wrong. β
Zhao Xi was also a little embarrassed, and directly fooled him.
The only sound between the two of them was the explosion of burning wood in the surrounding fire, and neither of them spoke again.
Zhao Xi was secretly distressed by his useless physique, and every time he communicated with girls from childhood to adulthood, it ended in this kind of mystery embarrassment.
Fortunately, Zhao Xi didn't have to wait long, and Cornelia came back from the other side of the convoy, and instead of wearing her customary robes, the clergymaiden changed into the same linen clothes as Dorothy.
As in the kobold tribe, his long blonde hair was combed into a high ponytail, revealing his slender white neck.
The clergy girl's clothes were still stained with some blood, and even her whole body exuded a faint smell of blood.
Cornelia seemed to feel the embarrassment of the mystery between the two, and couldn't help but look at the two in surprise, and then walked to Dorothy to the side.
"Do you need my help?" asked Cornelia softly.
Dorothy looked up at Cornelia opposite, smiled and said, "No, Sister Cornelia, you can go and rest for a while." β
Cornelia didn't insist, but turned back to the carriage, and in a short time there was a sound of changing clothes from the carriage.
"Don't peek!"
Zhao Xi was sitting on the ground drinking water from the water bag, and the words from the carriage almost choked him to death.
"You're sick, I'm not going to peek at you!"
Zhao Xi wiped his mouth and shouted at Cornelia in the carriage.
"It's good if you don't see it, I'll try you. β
Cornelia's voice came from the carriage again, and what she said almost didn't make Zhao Xi half angry.
"Trust, trust, am I like that?"
Zhao Xi wanted to rush into the carriage and fight with Cornelia, who is the pervert who peeks at others changing clothes! When did he do that kind of thing.
"I haven't done it before, but maybe in the future, it's always right to be on guard. β
Cornelia walked down from the carriage as she spoke, and at this time she had already changed into a brand new linen dress, and she didn't even look at Zhao Xi.
"Hush. Zhao Xi turned his head away and didn't look at Cornelia anymore.
"What were you talking about?" Cornelia asked Dorothy, who was cooking.
"We!" Dorothy looked at Zhao Xi with a smile and said, "Don asked me where you went, I'm worried about you!"
"He's worried about me?" Cornelia glanced at Zhao Xi and said, "He's worried that I'll speak ill of him to that mercenary!"
"I'm too lazy to worry about you!" Zhao Xi snorted.
Dorothy didn't say anything when she heard the two arguing, just giggled beside her, laughing as she prepared food for them.
Zhao Xi and Cornelia didn't look at anyone, and turned their heads to the side to look at the dark woods on both sides.
"Sister Cornelia, what did that mercenary tell you to do?"
Dorothy glanced at Zhao Xi secretly and asked what Zhao Xi was most concerned about.
"Daisy, Daisy, she came to me to treat the wounded mercenaries. β
Cornelia untied the headband that bound her long hair, and shook her head slightly, her long golden hair falling out, looking a little dazzling against the firelight.
"Aren't the mercenaries very rejecting magic arts?
Dorothy immediately asked the question Zhao Xi wanted to ask, and Zhao Xi, who listened, wanted to award her the best support award.
"There is rejection of theological treatment, but that is only a minority, most people after hearing that I am not the pastor of the church, although the eyes are a little strange, but they are not rejected by simple treatment. β
Cornelia said as she tilted her head and watched Dorothy stir the broth in the pot.
"No wonder you came back with a smell of blood, it's hard. Dorothy tasted the saltiness of the broth and nodded.
"It's hard but it's not hard, they also know that I am the one who secretly helped them in the battle, and they will come to thank me later. β
Cornelia watched as she handed Dorothy a wooden bowl so that the girl could serve the broth.
Before Dorothy could finish the broth, she heard a lot of footsteps coming towards the three of them.
The three of them looked up at the same time in the direction where the voice came from, and found that it was a group of mercenaries led by Daisy.
"Why are you here?" Zhao Xi was a little puzzled.
"We've come to thank Miss Cornelia, but we don't have anything to eat now. β
Daisy explained to Zhao Xi, and while explaining, she took out the meat products that had been tested and handed them to Cornelia on the side.
Cornelia was obviously frightened by this formation, looking at the food handed over by the mercenaries, she didn't accept it, so she had to look at Zhao Xi on the side with a look of help.
Zhao Xi saw Cornelia look at him with this kind of look for the first time, and felt a burst of comfort all over his body, as if he had drunk a big sip of ice water on a dog day.
Cornelia looked at Zhao Xi's comfortable expression, and she didn't mean to help herself out of the siege at all, so she couldn't help biting her bright red lip.
Just when Cornelia wanted to run away, Zhao Xi on the side stood up and took the food handed over by many mercenaries.
"We can't finish all of what you've taken, so why don't you stay and eat together. Zhao Xi said to the group of mercenaries with a smile.
The mercenaries were a little dissatisfied with the food received by others at first, but when they turned their heads to see that it was Don, who was extremely brave on the battlefield during the day, the person who took the food turned out to be Don, and all the dissatisfaction disappeared immediately.
Even some mercenaries who use swords still wonder if they can get Tang En's guidance to make their strength go further.
"In that case, then we'll bother. β
Daisy saw that the mercenaries around her had no intention of objecting, so she directly agreed.
