Chapter 18: Unspeakable Guilt
"Yodel!" A stern cry came from behind the young man. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After hearing the familiar sound, Yodel was like a fried rabbit, skillfully doing a set of ultra-difficult free gymnastics events, such as the jump without the help of running, such as the clockwork high-speed rotation of 3600 degrees in the air, and the beautiful defensive posture after landing lightly.
This series of high-standard and difficult movements, combined with his sunny and handsome little face, is perfect. Xia Zhe, who unconsciously applauded on the side, praised heartily: This reaction, this bounce, this landing, I give eleven points, and one more point is afraid that he will not be proud.
Yodel resumed his stammering tone, "Big, big sister!" You, how did you get here... Aren't you resting? ”
"Who allowed you to go out of camp on your own?" With a slightly tired reproachful tone, the owner of the voice did not express his concern.
The mature woman known as the eldest sister's head turned her head to Xia Zhe after saying a word about yodel: "Dear traveler, hello, my name is Taotisi, and I am the agent of the Thorn Flower Merchant Group, may I ask who you are?"
Xia Zhe, who was about to answer, was just about to speak, when the young man on the side jumped out and grabbed it: "His name is Xia Zhe from Tuqi Town, and he also knows Uncle Jim, who makes super delicious bread."
"Uh, bread..."
Seeing Xia Zhe's face change suddenly, Yodel immediately covered his mouth. Some shrunk their heads and looked at Lottith.
Noticing Xia Zhe's depressed face, Peach reluctantly patted Yodel's head and explained to him apologetically: "This kid has been like this since he was a child, he doesn't speak very well, but he has no malicious intent."
Xia Zhe shook his head and said that he was not familiar with children.
"Hello, can I call you Mr. Xia Zhe?" After seeing Xia Zhe nodding, Dodis continued, "Mr. Xia Zhe, the first time we met, I made you see a joke, please forgive me." Her slightly muffled voice seemed so generous and decent.
Mortis stared at Xia Zhe deeply, "You really aren't in a group with those people, yodele, you go back to prepare dinner first, it's very rude to let Mr. Xia Zhe go out alone so late." If you don't dislike it, please ask Mr. Xia Zhe to come to our camp tonight to grieve for the night. ”
I saw this tall, mature and generous woman making an inviting gesture to Xia Zhe. Her curly millet hair was just over her shoulders like waves, her thick lips were slightly open, full of primal wild seduction, and her big brown eyes were so deep and mysterious in the last light of the setting sun.
Xia Zhe was slightly stunned and nodded: "Then bother."
The trio didn't talk nonsense, and immediately began to return to the camp, with Dodis leading the way ahead and Yodel rushing back first.
The two people who were left behind slowed down their pace under the guidance of Dondis intentionally or unintentionally, and just before entering the camp, Dondis finally made up her mind, only to see her turn around and stop in front of Xia Zhe, pleading in a worried tone: "Maybe it's very rude to say this, but I still have to ask you for a favor, okay?"
Xia Zhe looked at this mature and capable woman in surprise, and actually pleaded with himself with such a pitiful appearance, he who had planned to help the other party, finally nodded.
The anxious Dotis was still thinking about whether she should use other ways to keep him if the other party refused, but hope always came unexpectedly, and the other party agreed to her unreasonable request without thinking about it, which made her a little overwhelmed.
Facing this suddenly sluggish woman, Xia Zhe couldn't understand her a little, and he shook his hand in front of the other party's eyes, trying to wake up the other party.
"Ahh I'm sorry, Mr. Xia Zhe, thank you so much. Reacting, Lotis bent down to thank Xia Zhe, and the wide robe could not hide her full body.
Approaching Xia Zhe slightly, Tao Tisi whispered his thoughts, full of mature female breath made Xia Zhe extremely uncomfortable, fortunately, the other party's words were very concise, and at first glance it was the existence of frequent communication with people, in Xia Zhe's opinion, Tao Tisi's meaning was very simple.
Probably: she brought the Thorn Flower from the Southern Alliances to the Principality of Ithis for the annual autumn trade trip, although they are small merchants, but with the protection of the B-level of Taodis, plus they will never deviate from the official road, so they have been safe and sound for many years, but this year for some reason, a group of slave traders are eyeing them, and the other party's powerful B-level Taodith can only drag them down, facing most of them are women with low combat effectiveness, Fearing casualties, she sent a message for help to the nearest lord and the Hero Guild, and they camped in place to wait for rescue.
And she needs Xia Zhe's help very simply, because I don't know why, the rescue is delayed, and now the atmosphere in the camp is very bad, everyone is full of despair, and everyone is on the verge of collapse, so in order to let the members of her business group support it, I want to ask Xia Zhe to enter the camp as a hero and bring them hope.
With a flickering look in her eyes, she looked at the absent-minded Xia Zhe, and her mood mentioned her heart again, Taodisi knew very well what would happen to the remaining members of the business group if she failed, so she was now very afraid of the other party's remorse, and hurriedly explained: "They urgently need a little hope now, as long as they wait for the rescue of the heroes of the association, the crisis will naturally be resolved." And I'm still with Yodel and I in terms of fighting, so Mr. Xia Zhe only needs to exist in the camp as a hero. ”
When Dodice finished speaking, Xia Zhe frowned and suddenly hammered his right palm with his left fist, and then suddenly shouted: "I understand, so that's the case!"
Taotisi, who was already hanging in her heart, was frightened by Xia Zhe's loud words, and subconsciously asked, "You know everything?"
Xia Zhe replied with an expression that I understand you, "It turns out that you are such a person. ”
Xia Zhe's words made Taodisi think that her plan had been seen through by the other party, and she seemed to be hollowed out all of a sudden: "Whew... It's okay to know, I'm so selfish, but it's all my thoughts, and it has nothing to do with my members, how could I suddenly have such a dirty idea, I'm sorry..."
"It's not a big deal, isn't it just pretending to be a hero of the Hero Association, anyway, I have something to do with those heroes, it's not a big deal. What's embarrassing about this, I helped with this little favor. Looking at Taotis, who turned out to be a shy attribute, Xia Zhe said unusually boldly.
"Huh!?" Hearing this, Taotis's eyes widened, and her mood was up and down, as if she was on a roller coaster, it turned out that they just had a misunderstanding of each other.
The extremely depressed Dotis breathed a sigh of relief, thanks to the other party's sluggishness, her last bit of guilt was suppressed, thinking about those poor children, as long as they would not be hurt in the slightest, she would rather choose to be an executioner and lead this innocent person into the abyss.
But she doesn't intend to treat this dull-looking little man badly, she will repay him well, and until the last moment, she will accompany the fool in front of her to repay his kindness.
"Now that you understand, I'll leave it to you, Mr. Xia Zhe." As he spoke, Tautotis bit her lip and didn't look at Xia Zhe, turned around and went into the camp.
Looking at this strange woman and this strange camp, Xia Zhe didn't think too much, just followed into the camp together.
After bypassing the obstacles that were haphazardly fixed to the ground, Xia Zhe finally saw the whole picture of the camp. The haphazard tent was set up near the dirt slope, and between the tent and the fence was a small open space where only a few expressionless women were cooking on a fire.
As soon as Dodis enters the camp, she summons a tall woman and asks her to gather all the members of the Thorn Flower. And she herself took Xia Zhe to a sentry post that was originally used for guarding.
It didn't take long for the open space of the humble camp to be filled with people from tents all over the place.
Xia Zhe simply swept over the two dozen people standing below, and was very surprised to find that all of them except yodel were young girls, and now Xia Zhe finally knew why the slave traders had to target them.
At this moment, Xia Zhe also noticed that the faces that should have been vigorous at their age were all lifeless, as if they had lost their yearning for a better future.
Taodis on the side looked at Xia Zhe with a wry smile, and after seeing the other party's heavy nod, she shouted loudly to the people in the audience: "Everyone, this is the hero sent by the association, he and his companions who have not yet arrived will help us get through this terrible difficulty, drive away those hateful robbers, you don't have to wait for the dawn in fear, we can leave here soon."
The cacophony of chatter quickly infected these sensitive girls, who looked at each other a little bewildered, as if to confirm whether they were still in a dream.
After a while, one of the timid girls, who was not very old, raised her little hand tremblingly, and asked timidly, "Sister Dortis, is he really the hero who came to rescue us?" As he spoke, he stared at Xia Zhe with big hopeful eyes.
When the little girl spoke, the other people who were watching began to ask uncontrollably, and some bold girls would walk up to the sentry station to look at Xia Zhe carefully, and pointed to Xia Zhe and said: So young; Nor is he any older than me; Could it be a liar, or something like that. This kind of behavior makes otaku, who rarely become the focus, uncomfortable standing in the middle of several girls.
The keen Taodisi felt Xia Zhe's embarrassment, and at the moment she didn't know why, she was secretly happy in her heart, she couldn't help but want to see how this dull little man continued to be at a loss, which could be regarded as a small revenge for the previous stupid person to stimulate her revenge.
However, this long-lost pleasure did not last long, under Xia Zhe's urgent eyes for help, Taodisi could only regretfully drive away these slowly rejuvenated girls, and let the timid little Lori named Lily prepare dinner to entertain the hero who came hard: Xia Zhe.
After the members of the merchant group, whose average age was not fifteen years old, gradually left, Xia Zhe began to express his gratitude to Taotisi with a sense of relief.
Looking at those immature faces from desperate and restless to full of expectations, as well as Xia Zhe's silly and innocent smiling face, Taotith standing on the sentry tower could no longer calm down in his heart.
