Volume 1 Despair and Dawn Chapter 8 Dawn Town
Zhao Xi and Cornelia had already come to the creek, and Zhao Xi wanted to wash his face and continue to walk forward with Cornelia. However, Cornelia pointed to the blood stains and dirt on Zhao Xi's clothes, and said that it was better to clean it to save it from scaring others.
Zhao Xi looked down at his current clothes and agreed to Cornelia's proposal, after all, the current Zhao Xi is the same as he just ran out of the set of a torture horror movie, and he will indeed scare others.
Zhao Xi was washing his clothes while thinking about what Cornelia had said not long ago.
"God?" Zhao Xi bowed his head and muttered to himself, feeling that the reason why he came to this world had a great deal to do with the god in Cornelia's mouth, after all, the two came out of the same place, and it didn't matter if it mattered, and fools didn't believe it.
Zhao Xi did ask who the god in Cornelia's mouth was, but Cornelia's answer was that God was God, and she didn't know much more.
As for Cornelia telling the truth, Zhao Xi is not sure, after all, the girl in front of her is expressionless no matter what she says, and it is difficult to judge whether she is lying or not, but Zhao Xi also knows that even if he understands what God is, just looking at Zhao Xi's current appearance, it is impossible to talk to God about conditions.
It's really God who sent Zhao Xi here, there must be a purpose, Zhao Xi doesn't complete his purpose, he will definitely not be able to go back, it can't be sent to Zhao Xi to experience the customs of another world, if Zhao Xi came here and has nothing to do with that god, then even if he knows it clearly, it's useless.
"Huh~" Zhao Xi hung his washed clothes on the branches, suppressed the messy thoughts, and returned to the stream, ready to wash his body.
After some cleaning, Zhao Xi looked much cleaner, although the clothes were not dry, but it was estimated that they would be almost dry after wearing them for a while.
Looking at the linen jacket that was tattered but had no bloodstains, Zhao Xi nodded with satisfaction.
"Sure enough, bloody clothes should be washed in cold water to be the cleanest!" Zhao Xi made a satisfied voice.
At the same time, Cornelia returned, with a pile of red fruits in her arms.
Zhao Xi stared at the red fruit for a while, although the fruit in front of him was about the same size as an apple, it looked the same as a cherry.
"It's not poisonous. Cornelia said lightly, and took a bite of the fruit, and said inarticulately, "It's a very ordinary safflower fruit, I have checked it with divine magic." ”
Zhao Xi also put his mind at ease, and took a big bite of the red flower fruit, and when the sweet and sour juice burst out in his mouth, Zhao Xi suddenly felt that his whole person came to life.
The taste is similar to that of an apple, but the juice is fuller, Zhao Xi thought while eating, and suddenly thought that he still had a piece of chocolate in his backpack.
Since you can't starve to death, you don't need such a precious store.
Zhao Xi took out his long-cherished chocolate from his backpack, tore open the package and divided Cornelia in half.
At first, Cornelia was a little resistant to the black thing, but put it in her mouth out of politeness.
"You can't bite it~" Zhao Xi said: "This kind of thing has to be in your mouth to be delicious." ”
Cornelia listened to Zhao Xi's words, didn't bite the chocolate, just let it melt slowly, and didn't comment on whether it was delicious or not, but her eyes that kept open were already squinting at this time, and her expressionless face seemed to reveal a little joy.
When Zhao Xi saw Cornelia's expression, he knew that the girl was very satisfied with the chocolate.
"It seems that girls can't refuse sweets, whether it's on Earth or in another world. ”
Zhao Xi sighed in his heart, looked at the remaining half of the chocolate, decided to eat it again when he was homesick in the future, and took it back into his backpack again.
However, the backpack that comes with the system does not show the size of the capacity, but there are forty grids, a type of item occupies a grid, what the items put in it look like, what it looks like when you take it out, don't worry about deterioration and damage, as for what principle, Zhao Xi doesn't understand, so he has to attribute it to the power of the system.
After the two filled their stomachs, they handed over the remaining fruit to Zhao Xi for safekeeping, Zhao Xi put the fruit in the backpack, and Nelia did not ask where Zhao Xi put it, which is a tacit understanding between the two, after all, both of them have unspeakable secrets, and it is not good to explore everything to the end.
The two of them looked at their surroundings and felt that instead of walking aimlessly, they should try their luck along the creek, after all, there was a gathering place next to the creek, and it was more likely to be larger.
......
Old John looked at the somewhat deserted home and couldn't help but feel a little lonely.
"Obviously Dorothy just went out to buy something. Old John laughed at himself, but he also knew in his heart that he was always afraid that his only daughter would leave him without a word.
Just as Old John was reminiscing about the unbearable time in the past, there was a knock at the door of his house.
"It's coming, it's coming. Old John agreed, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, since there was an epidemic in the town, even Mrs. Lisa, who liked to go to other people's houses to chat, would not go out casually, even if the epidemic has subsided now, this habit has not changed, it is almost dinner, who will come to their own house?
Old John opened the gate of his yard, and saw two completely strange figures.
Old John squinted his eyes and looked at the two strangers in front of him, both men and women were sixteen or seventeen-year-old young people, the men's upper body was wearing a linen shirt worn by civilians, but now it was tattered, and the pants and shoes on the lower body had never been seen before, but it didn't look like a civilian could afford to wear, as for the young man's face, he was a little handsome and full of sunshine, very much like his younger self.
Old John missed his youthful appearance, and looked at the girl next to him, the girl was wearing a robe that was somewhat similar to the style of the church in the town, but the church personnel in the town were all adults, as for the appearance of the blonde and blue-eyed lady in front of him was really beautiful, second only to Zhu Na when he was young, thinking of Zhu Na, Old John couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
Zhao Xi and Cornelia finally found a human gathering place before dark, when Zhao Xi knocked on the door of the first house, the door was opened by a dark-faced uncle, in fact, Zhao Xi couldn't figure out the age of the master, after all, the face in front of him was too old, but the master fell into some kind of memory after seeing the two.
"Ahem, uncle, my companion and I are adventurers who are traveling outside, and we got lost on the way to the adventure, and we came to this place by mistake, what is this place called, and where is there a place to eat and stay?" Zhao Xi coughed lightly to draw the master's attention back, and asked.
Old John was pulled back by the young man's voice, and his face couldn't help but change after hearing that the two were still outsiders.
"If you're an outsider, it's better to go to church first, who knows what disaster you'll bring, damn it. Old John said with a resound, and slammed the door shut.
Zhao Xi listened to the unceremonious words and the heavy slamming of the door, couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment, turned to Cornelia beside him and said:
"It seems that the people in this place are not very friendly to outsiders, at least they told us where we should go, let's go, and ask the next person where the church is. “
Cornelia looked at Zhao Xi, who was stunned, and nodded.
In fact, Zhao Xi and the others didn't need to inquire to see the two most conspicuous buildings in this place, one is a low black castle, and the other is a rather ornate church in the center.
In fact, even if Zhao Xi and the others inquired, no one was willing to talk to the two, there were few pedestrians on the road, and even if some pedestrians saw the faces of the two, they would have long avoided it and were unwilling to approach.
Combined with such an embarrassing scene, coupled with some barren land next to the gathering place, and some dilapidated houses, it shows that something happened to this town because of strangers, well... It won't be a good thing.
Just when Zhao Xi felt too embarrassed and wanted to talk to Cornelia, a sentence suddenly came from behind.
"May I ask if you two came to Dawning from somewhere else?"
After listening to this, Zhao Xi felt that the owner who said this must not be very old, after all, he could clearly hear the immaturity of the voice.
Zhao Xi and Cornelia turned around and saw that the owner of the voice was a little girl of thirteen or fourteen with a vegetable basket, wearing ordinary linen clothes, but the rough clothes could not hide the vitality of the little girl, with a sweet smile on her white little face, red eyes looked at the two of her with curiosity, and her long black hair was tied into a braid at random and placed behind her.
Zhao Xi sighed that this little girl will definitely be a beauty when she grows up, so she replied: "Yes, my companion and I are adventurers who got lost and came here by chance. ”
The little girl nodded as if she didn't understand, and said, "Outsiders come to us to be inspected by the church, or they won't be allowed to stay in the town." ”
After hearing this, Zhao Xi felt that although the previous uncle said that his tone was not good, at least he pointed the right way.
"Thank you!" Zhao Xi smiled and said to the little girl, "Is that the church in front of you?"
The little girl heard Zhao Xi's thanks, lowered her head a little embarrassed, and whispered: "If you don't mind, I can take you to the church, and in exchange I hope you can also tell me about the outside world." ”
Zhao Xi's face stiffened when he heard this request, if he changed to a normal outsider, he would definitely agree happily, but he was not normal, no, he was not from this world!
However, Zhao Xi looked at the little girl nervously pinching her fingers, thinking of her previous self full of expectations for rejection, Zhao Xi smiled.
"Then I'm sorry for you!"
When the little girl heard Zhao Xi's answer, she raised her head and smiled happily.
