Chapter 39: Reason
Seeing that Charlene had fallen asleep, Chu Ci's pale golden eyes stared at Charlene quietly in the dark for a while before closing her eyes again.
When she woke up early the next morning, Charlene opened her eyes and saw a white mass around her body, like a quilt covered with the best fox fur.
In such a rainy season, being swept up like this not only does not feel hot, but also has a very warm feeling.
It was a kind of warmth that had not been seen for a long time, strange and familiar.
Charlene couldn't help but reach out and touch it, it was fluffy, smooth and delicate, and it felt excellent to the touch. Just looking at the fox tail rolled on his body, it is not difficult to see how proud and elegant its owner should be.
That kind of, for a flat-headed ordinary person like her, it is unattainable.
Thinking like this, Charlene felt inexplicably lost in her heart.
Shaking her head and throwing away this strange feeling, Charlene looked at a certain silver fox who was sleeping soundly opposite, hesitated slightly, or lightly took a few tails of the silver fox away from herself, and then turned over and got out of bed.
Fortunately, at this time, the tail of the silver fox was only loosely on Charlene's body, not curled like last night, so Charlene didn't use much strength when she took off the other party's tail.
It's just that when I counted that the other party actually had five tails, I couldn't help but muttered in my heart.
Obviously, there were still three tails two days ago, why did two more come out? This guy isn't really planning to grow nine tails, is he?
Imagining the appearance of the other party completely turning into a nine-tailed silver fox, the corners of Charlene's mouth twitched.
Help me! You can't afford to hurt a child with a phobia of intensity!
When she got out of bed, Charlene hesitated slightly, her slippers seemed to be on the other side of the bed.
Turning her head to glance at the silver fox on the bed, and then at her own feet, Charlene pursed her lips.
The floor with a thin carpet should not be too cold...... Right?
After hesitating for a while, Charlene finally didn't have the courage to crawl over a silver fox, so she could only go directly to the ground barefoot, and then put on shoes on the other side of the bed.
Just when Charlene put on her shoes, she looked up to find a pair of pale golden eyes staring at her quietly.
Charlene: Σ(°△°|||) ︴
When did this guy wake up?!
At the dining table, the two of them and one beast were still quietly eating breakfast.
Although Qi Tianze's children still only have a bowl of white porridge and ...... in front of them A coleslaw. In front of Chu Ci, there are two plates of exotic beast meat covered with red peppers, but if you look closely, you will find that in the middle of the peppers, there are also finely chopped peppercorns and peppers.
Looking at Chu Ci, whose eating speed had obviously dropped by more than one grade, Xia Lin smiled predictably.
Hmph, let you get cheap from your aunt and grandmother, chili can't cure you, I don't believe in pepper and pepper!
If you have the ability, you have absorbed the energy contained in these two kinds!
(I have to say, our Charlene girl seems to have started to run all the way to the female man's team, and she still doesn't bring her head back!) O(╯□╰)o)
Looking at the two "breakfasts" in front of Chu Ci, although Qi Tianze, who knew that his sense of taste was out of order and couldn't eat anything, he inexplicably felt that his psychology was balanced.
Look at my cousin like that, I'm afraid I wish I could have the same taste failure as myself, this female devil!
I have to say that watching people who have been making themselves all kinds of irritable people deflated is a very comfortable thing for people to be physically and mentally comfortable. Charlene was in a good mood, and even ate half a bowl more for breakfast.
It's just that after breakfast, there are still a lot of troubles waiting for them.
"Brother Liu, do you know why the Zhao family got into my idea?"
Although the Zhao family was temporarily forced to retreat, it was obvious that the family was not like a master who would give up, but the two gods in his house were completely indifferent regardless www.qbwx.com of her coercion and temptation or persuasion, and looked like they had relied on her.
Regarding this, it really makes Charlene irritable enough.
And on the contrary, one of these two is a strange beast, although he has a high IQ, but unfortunately he can't speak. As for the other one, it's just a little kid, and she can't even take care of herself, thank God for not causing her any more trouble, Charlene doesn't expect the other party to help her at all.
Uh, of course, or maybe it's okay to be armed at all?
Although, for a mere five or six-year-old kid, there is actually a third- or fourth-order (not only) ability, Charlene feels very depressed.
But such a combination led to the bleak scene in front of her, where she didn't even have someone to talk to (not →_→).
In desperation, Charlene could only turn to Liu Jieming, who came to the door uneasily.
Liu Jieming glared at Xia Lin angrily. "You little liar, you even lied to your brother Liu!"
Although he knew that Charlene was afraid of getting involved and causing trouble for him, who was also just an "outsider", he still hurried over after hearing about Charlene's affairs here early this morning.
In the final analysis, no matter how long he lives here and is familiar with the people here, he is really close to Charlene in his bones.
And something happened to this child who seemed to be his own sister-in-law, how could he stay out of it?!
Charlene scoffed.
"You really don't know why?" Liu Jieming glared at Xia Lin, but did not continue to embarrass her, but asked with a slight frown.
Charlene pouted, "How would I know?" I'm not familiar with their Zhao family! ”
In fact, as a dead house who has just arrived here for a few months, Charlene's real acquaintance is actually Liu Jieming.
Liu Jieming sighed, not knowing whether to worry or sigh for Charlene's simplicity.
Aoyama Castle is called Aoyama Castle because it is a small basin-shaped castle surrounded by mountains, and it is covered in turquoise for about 10 months of the year.
Although Qingshan Castle is suspected to be a volcanic rock, the soil system is very thin, not suitable for tall trees or perennial plants with deep roots, so there are few high-level beasts, but because there is almost no particularly cold winter in the city, the climate is also pleasant.
Of course, this so-called pleasantness is also on a certain degree.
In fact, Castle Peak not only has a long summer, but also a rainy season that lasts for more than a month, followed by a dry season that lasts for about five months.
The so-called dry season is actually autumn and winter in the northern part of the Federation. It's just that the two seasons have been merged into one in Aoyama Castle, and the time is longer.
Even in winter, there is no snow in Aoyama Castle, and even during the dry season, there is a small amount of rain.
It's just that the rain is not enough to survive the long dry season, and even the volcanic rocks that are hot in the summer seem to be frozen by the cold wind, completely losing the high heat of summer, but freezing cold.
Even in the middle of the dry season, if one finds the cave, they will find that the outer layer of volcanic rock has even been frozen with thin ice crystals.
That's what some creatures rely on to survive.
Of course, most of the alien beasts will still choose to go to the Qingshan River to drink.
It's just that in this season, with the advent of the dry season, the water level of the river is constantly decreasing, and the waterbed is constantly narrowing, but the speed of the turbulent water does not seem to have decreased much.
As a result, some small beasts are often carried away by the rushing river in the process of drinking.
And the residents of Castle Peak City will also usher in the most dangerous season of the year.
As precipitation decreases, there are fewer green vegetation and exotic animals on the bottom. And as the food dwindled, it seemed natural for some of the larger beasts to set their sights on the largest group of animals in the mountain city, the humans.
And at this time, every master in Qingshan City is very important. After all, every additional strength, the safety of Qingshan City will also be guaranteed.
In fact, this is also the reason why the city lord accepted Charlene's household registration very happily after confirming the identity of Xia Lin's fourth-order citizen.
Although, Charlene, a fourth-order citizen, is a "pseudo".
Of course, it is impossible for the Zhao family to have such a noble temperament. After all, crises have always coexisted with opportunities, although those strange beasts are more dangerous, but these strange beasts that are usually hiding in the mountains and forests, or in those hidden caves, and it is difficult to see traces at all, if they can be hunted, the benefits are also rich.
And as one of the few high-level abilities in Qingshan City today, Zhao Xiangqing, the current number one master of the Zhao family, is naturally endowed with public expectations.
In fact, the reason why Aunt Zhao found Xia Lin in the first place was really the trouble that Xia Lin caused herself.
"Do you remember your previous deal with that Aunt Zhao?"
Charlene blinked, looking innocent, "You said she was for the coral fern in my hand?" ”
Liu Jieming glanced at Xia Lin, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Why?"
Charlene was not only not enlightened, but even more incredible.
She originally thought that this was the aborigines of Qingshan City who had clearly bullied her, a lonely and widowed newcomer, but now it seems that there is something else hidden?
"As far as I know, not long after you moved here, you have been trading coral ferns with that Zhao Yumei?"
Charlene nodded, "That's right. ”
This matter has been done since she learned that there is a "specialty" such as coral fern in Qingshan City, and that if she doesn't want to save up and sell it to buyers, she can also sell it directly to the Zhao family's aunt Zhao.
And she has always been above board, and there is nothing unsightly in this body, so naturally there is nothing to hide. But she is not the only one who makes this kind of deal with Aunt Zhao, why should the other party target her?
Or is this aunt who always puts on a "rich and rich" appearance on weekdays, but in fact she is a miser at all, thinking that she has earned her money, and now she wants to go back?
Thinking of the little "pocket money" she put into her account every day, the corners of Charlene's mouth twitched fiercely.
She doesn't seem to be making much money at all, does she? RS
