Chapter 192: Suspicious Beans
If it was said that in that barren mountain range, the little boy of unknown origin who suddenly appeared made Jiu Yue feel quite worried, then when Douzi was in danger in order to protect her, the arrow that was shot at them from behind pierced her left shoulder, the doubts about Douzi that Jiu Yue had always had in her heart immediately disappeared......
Because in Jiuyue's cognition, probably no one would waste their lives in order to protect a dinner...... Right?
But with the sound of 'ba-da' and 'ba-da' sucking noodles from the bean's mouth, Jiuyue's judgment of his suitability immediately wavered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Hey...... This is the tenth bowl! Listening to the bowls of beans beside him, swallowing noodles as if no amount of noodles could fill his stomach, Jiu Yue finally couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
"Sister, this thing is so delicious!" As he spoke, Douzi still had a mouthful of unbroken noodles in his mouth, and asked vaguely, "Can I have another bowl?!" ”
Ignoring the expectation that the beans overflowed his heart and lungs, Jiuyue still shook his head slowly, and sighed helplessly: "...... Eat it again...... I'm afraid you're going to die. ”
“...... Just another bowl...... I promise it's the last bowl! As soon as he heard that he might not be able to eat the next bowl, Douzi sucked the noodles in the bowl violently, and swallowed them all before he could chew a few bites, for fear that he would not be able to express himself clearly.
Jiuyue was really afraid that this kid would be strangled to death by these noodles, but he was afraid that he would make too much noise and cause unnecessary trouble, so he hesitated for a moment, and sighed deeply again: "Okay...... But before you do that, you'll have to answer me honestly a few questions. ”
As soon as he heard that he could eat another bowl of noodle soup, the beans immediately settled down a lot, and while continuing to eat noodles seriously, he responded to Jiuyue in a happy tone: "Sister, you ask." ”
Regarding the little boy beside him, Jiuyue had too many questions in her heart.
In the night filled with heavy fog, he appeared alone in the mountain forest that was inaccessible and was also enchanted by the ghost locust night, and skillfully used the illusion of the paper figure to resolve the dilemma that she could not retreat, and by the way, he blocked an arrow for himself in the process of escaping, and happened to be at the edge of the enchantment, and dug a pit with a spell spell that broke the enchantment effect early in the morning......
No matter how you look at it, it still seems suspicious, and it was clearly planned early in the morning.
The appearance of the little boy was certainly not accidental, he either came to help her or sincerely came to harm her.
But if he was sincere in harming her, why did he help her block the arrows?
But if he came to save her...... They are not related to each other, so why does she have to be saved by him?
Jiuyue believes that everything has a reason, and no one's hobby in this world is to block arrows for strangers.
Probably because Jiu Yue had too many questions swirling in his heart, he didn't know where to start at once: "You...... What is your name? ”
"Light." At this time, the noodles of the beans had already eaten to the bottom, so the beans, whose whole face was about to be buried in the soup bowl, replied without raising his head to the questions that did not need to be thought about at all.
“...... What the? Jiuyue suspected that she hadn't heard clearly.
“...... My name is Light. The boy repeated.
In the vague words, Jiuyue determined the boy's name, and she even heard the boy licking the bowl with his tongue.
However, although he was sure that he had heard correctly, Jiu Yue felt a little crying and laughing inexplicably, and questioned sincerely: "...... Are you sure it's a person's name? ”
"Of course not...... It's a name! The boy's stammering pause seemed to hide something, raised his eyes to look at Jiuyue, and continued to add, "...... I mean, it's too unmanly to be a good name! Hey hey ......"
A smile appeared on Jiuyue's lips, and he didn't chase after this obvious concealment: "Well, since that's the case, then I'll call you Douzi." ”
Douzi opened his mouth, but he never said why, just rolled his eyes, and continued to lick the soup bowl with residual juice in front of him: "As long as you like it, sister......"
"Who the hell are you? Why does it appear in the deserted mountains and forests? Jiuyue played with the cup in her hand, waiting for Douzi's answer, and on the other hand, she was wary of the proprietress who was busy in the stove house of the wine store.
The sound of boiling hot water and the crackling of firewood burning in the stove house were endless, and from time to time there were a few yawns from the proprietress because of sleepiness.
Ever since she entered the ghost snake in Maple City, Jiuyue has always been wary of this kind of depressed shop with few customers.
This place called Pear Village smells of scorched earth smoke everywhere, and all the shops in the whole village are closed except for this shop, and there seems to be no living person in the deserted village.
According to the proprietress of the house, this pear village is located at the junction of the Huaxia clan and the Yingong clan, and it is not too far from the secluded capital.
In order to stay away from the war, most of the people in Pear Village fled to the towns within the Huaxia tribe, and the few remaining people had a reason not to leave.
If this proprietress didn't lie, the people here would be lonely, which would be a good thing for Jiuyue.
"I'm ...... I was separated from my father and mother in the war...... I accidentally got lost in the woods......" Douzi thought about the words weakly, and then put down the soup bowl that he had been holding in his hand, and blinked his big watery eyes with a flicker.
"Lost?" Jiuyue obviously didn't believe Douzi's statement.
"Yes, I happened to be passing by and saw that my sister was in danger, so I thought of leaving with my sister......"
"Passing by? …… Do you usually dig a pit every time you pass by? ”
"Ah, that pit...... That pit is ......" Douzi thought for a moment and said procrastinatingly: "...... I saw a lot of strange people suddenly coming in the woods, and I sensed danger, so I made plans to escape in advance......"
Jiuyue took a sip of the white water in the cup, and the words of Xindao Douzi were well made, obviously prepared early in the morning to prevaricate her, right?
"You know how to break the barrier with the spirit runes...... Didn't you think that the place where the barrier would be laid was in itself full of danger? Even if you get lost, you won't get lost in the enchantment, right? ”
"Ah...... I don't know about that...... When I came in, I didn't see any enchantments......" Douzi said with great certainty this time, no longer flickering between his words, as if he had finally told the truth. (To be continued.) )
