Chapter 211: The Village Chief and the Witch Doctor
When the village chief of Banku said this, Lucia remembered Xuanyu. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The road was too quiet but a little strange, and I followed the village chief to the bed, only to find that Xuanyu had fallen asleep. Lucia casually raised her eyebrows, so reads;.
Looking at the sleeping man's pale lips, the village chief of Banku thought thoughtfully: "It seems that he is indeed very sick. ”
"No...... Something big is wrong. Lucia suddenly remembered that Xuanyu hadn't closed her eyes for a few days and nights, and had spent so much energy and spiritual power, and suddenly felt a little distressed, "He may just be too tired." ”
Chief Banku shook his head slowly, turned to Adunis and said, "Go and call Aunt Ophelia." ”
"Yes!" After Adunis turned to leave, the village chief of Banku covered Xuanyu with the quilt and exited the room with Lucia, "Don't worry, Opheli is the witch doctor in the village, and she is still very capable. ”
"Oh......"
The village chief of Banku poured a bowl of water for Lucia, and after watching her grunt, she drank it cleanly: "It seems that you are thirsty, after all, you have been soaking in the sea for so long." ”
"Oh, oh!" Lucia remembered what she had just said, "the boat my brother and I were on sank, but fortunately there was an island. ”
"You and your brother aren't biological, are they? Chief Banku said and poured Lucia another bowl of water, "You don't look like each other at all. ”
Hearing this, Lucia was so stunned that she almost didn't break the bowl in her hand, and then smiled, "We are half-brothers, and we are all like our own mothers." ”
"I see, where did you come from and where are you going?" said the village chief.
"From the Land of Heaven to Egrim. Lucia didn't think about it, but she regretted it as soon as she said it.
"Since you're from the realm of heaven, how did you come around to this place. The village chief of Banku said suspiciously.
Lucia smirked a few more times: "Confused...... Lost way...... The storm overturned the ship!" she added to push her into a corner again.
"I remember the last storm was the day before yesterday, have you been floating on the sea for so long?" said the village chief of Banku, "little girl, your physical strength is really good!"
Lucia scratched her head and laughed awkwardly, "At first, there was a boat and food, so I was able to hold on until now." However, this morning we were attacked by youkai, and the boat and food were gone, so my brother and I escaped to the island. When she said this, Lucia gave herself countless thumbs up in her heart, and she has become more and more able to lie recently, which is definitely a "blessing" for Xuanyu.
Thinking of Xuanyu, Lucia became worried again, and her eyes glanced to his room from time to time. Seeing this, the village chief of Banku comforted: "There is no need to worry. By the way, I don't know your names yet. ”
"My name is Lucia, and his name is Xuanyu...... Oh......" Lucia said after a pause, "our name is also given by Mother. ”
I don't know if the village chief of Banku really believes it, but anyway, he smiled and didn't ask any doubts. At this time, the door opened, and Adouis walked in, followed by a middle-aged woman dressed in gorgeous costumes, saying that it was gorgeous clothes, but compared with the people in the village, the colors were more bright, and the rings were jingling, which was unforgettable.
Lucia had already guessed that this woman was Aunt Ophelia, the witch doctor, whom the chief of Banku had spoken, but behind her flashed a young girl, but she didn't know who it was. I saw her red face, big eyes flashing, and some freckles on her face, which could bring out her cuteness even more.
"It turns out that Jasmine is here too. Chief Banku smiled and patted the little girl's head.
"When I heard that there was a new person on the island, I cried and shouted that I wanted to come and see it. The witch doctor Ophelie shook her head helplessly, but her eyes were doting, "My little daughter is really uneasy." ”
When the village chief and the witch doctor were talking, the "unconscious" person's eyes never left Lucia, and she didn't greet the village chief of Banku, but directly pulled Lucia and said, "Tell me, what's going on outside!"
Lucia was suddenly overwhelmed by such a question. At this time, Adounis, who had always been silent, spoke: "I really don't understand, if you stay in the village well, you have to think about going out, how can you be a little girl who is so dangerous outside, you always want to find some excitement on a peaceful day, and you will regret it when the time comes!"
This was the most Lucia had ever heard Adonis say!
Jasmine pursed her lips and glared at Adunis fiercely, "I'm not as hopeless as you, I just want to stay in the village." I'm going to the big city, I'm going to Egrim!"
The emotional fluctuations beneath Adonis's unchanging expression were like thunder rolling behind a dark cloud, as if in an instant, heavy rain would pour down. His teeth clenched, but he finally did not vent his inner feelings, but left angrily.
Jasmine was so focused on Lucia that she didn't pay any attention to Adonis's departure. Instead, the village chief of Banku and the witch doctor Opheli looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
"Jasmine is young, she doesn't know what is good and what is bad, and when she matures, she will know what Adunis wants. The witch doctor's tone was full of helplessness and comfort, and even Lucia from outside could hear that she didn't think so in her heart.
Of course, the village chief of Banku knew it, although he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart, but he still smiled and greeted people: "It's my family that Adonis is not worthy of Jasmine, and besides, that child has longed for the outside world since she was a child, and this island can't trap her for the rest of her life after all." He paused thoughtfully for a moment, then suddenly said, "Oh, I forgot the original purpose of inviting you!"
"I heard someone is sick?" said Ophelly, "take me there." ”
With that, the two of them went inside. Lucia wanted to follow up, but was pulled by Jasmine, stared at Lucia with big eyes blinking, pouted and coquettishly said, "You haven't answered my question yet!"
Faced with this little girl who didn't recognize her life at all, Lucia had no choice but to give in: "What do you want to know?"
"Let's talk about Egrem! I've heard it's very prosperous, and there's everything!" said Jasmine eagerly, "I heard that you're a merchant, and you must have traveled from south to north." I really envy you, unlike I was born on this broken island and never seen anything. ”
"Since no one on the island has ever left here, who told you about Egrim?" said Lucia.
"Alexia, Donna, and Irma......" Jasmine pouted, the light in her eyes dimmed, "they all grew up with me, but they were lucky enough to go to the convent, and they went to Egrim last month!"
The more Lucia listened, the more she didn't understand, but two things were certain: first, the people of Elysium could actually leave the island and go to Agrim, and perhaps they would have the ability to avoid the monsters in the sea! After making up her mind, Lucia swept away the disdain on her face and replaced it with a smile.
The witch doctor Opheli came to Xuanyu's side, and after carefully examining the sleeping man lying on the bed, she frowned and exchanged a look with the village chief. The latter also understood what he meant, and said in a low voice: "Like?"
"What happened so long ago cannot be determined by a single statue. "Besides, they are all oriental faces, and it's normal to be similar." ”
"I'm just a little worried. The village chief of Banku said, "Is it really time to fulfill what he said at the beginning?"
Ophelie pondered: "It's a blessing or a curse, what should come is always coming." After speaking, she raised Xuanyu's arm, checked his pulse, and carefully checked it, and said, "There is nothing wrong with his body, but he is too weak, and he still has a low-grade fever, so he must be well nourished." ”
The village chief of Banku breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "It is worthy of the medical skills taught by the gods, and I can put ten thousand hearts in Yueqin Village with you Opheli here." ”
"It's a pity that the village doesn't trust me anymore. As she spoke, Ophelly's eyes darkened, "Even Jasmine has been clamoring to move over there several times." ”
"Speaking of Jasmine," the village chief lamented, "doesn't she really want to be a witch doctor?"
"I don't want to be a witch doctor!" In the courtyard of the village chief, Jasmine and Lucia sat side by side on the stone steps, and at this time, she was talking about her life ideals with excitement, "I just want to leave here, go to a prosperous place, wear gorgeous clothes, eat food, listen to music and watch plays, and marry a prince!"
"Ah...... Aha......" Lucia twitched the corners of her mouth, "what an ideal!"
As soon as he said this, there was the sound of footsteps behind him. The witch doctor, Ophelly, and the village chief Banku walked out. Lucia jumped up at once and stepped forward: "Oh...... My brother...... How's he doing?"
"Don't worry, he's just a little weak, just add more nutrition. ”
Although the witch doctor Opheli answered calmly, Lucia was really not at ease, she knew what the "nutrition" needed for Xuanyu, but in the current situation, she couldn't start sucking blood. After all, in this kind of sparsely populated village, whenever one person is sucked blood, she and Xuanyu, two outsiders, will be very eye-catching. Lucia glanced into the room worriedly, thinking that Xuanyu was just asleep, but now she didn't know when he would wake up.
Ophelie didn't know what Lucia was worried about, so she said a few words of comfort and then forcibly took Jasmine away. Jasmine had a good conversation with Lucia, a native of the village, and when she left, she grabbed her hand and said happily: "You're here, tonight is the annual festival of worshipping the gods, but it's lively, I'll come to you when the time comes!" Before Lucia could speak, Jasmine had already jumped up and down and followed Ophelie away.
"Worship the gods?" Lucia shrugged her shoulders and returned to the house.
