Chapter 81: Lin Xia's son
When Lin Xia saw that it was Qiao Na, Lin Xia was a little emotional, this time it was Qiao Na who took care of herself. Qiao Na wore the linen clothes of an ordinary village woman, and when she saw Lin Xia sitting on the bed, she said with surprise on her face: "Li Lei, you are awake." ”
"Just woke up. Lin Xia was a little strange, Qiao Na's internal injuries were very serious, and she could move freely at this time, so she couldn't help asking, "Is your injury healed?"
"Yes. Nothing is going on anymore. Qiao Na replied to Lin Xia, remembering that Lin Xia had carried her all the way out of the Mirror Moon Lake Forest, and blushed.
"Who cured you? is the master here?" Lin Xia felt that this house was very simple, but it was still inhabited by a hidden master.
"No one treated me. Joanna took out a gem from her bosom, which was carved with the statue of the goddess of light, gray in color, and even many cracks, which could be broken if she was not careful. Qiao Na brought the gem to Lin Xia's eyes: "It may be that this gem saved me." ”
Lin Xia didn't take it, just glanced at it and felt that this gem was extraordinary, although this gem was already dim, but Lin Xia felt that there must be some kind of divine power in this gem.
Probably because of a tribulation, Jona was very honest with Lin Xia: "This gem was given to me by His Majesty Pope Quincy of the Cult of Light. ”
"Are you a member of the Cult of Light?" Lin Xia hadn't dealt with the Cult of Illumination yet, but he always felt that the Cult of Illumination was just a bunch of gods.
"I'm not a member of the Cult of the Illuminati. Jona directly denied: "When I was six years old, His Majesty Quincy came to my family and said that he had received a revelation from the goddess and asked me to be a saint of the Cult of the Illuminati, but my father refused because I was too young. His Majesty Quincy left me this, saying it would save my life. ”
"Could it really be that it saved you?" Lin Xia pointed to the gem, feeling incredible. But it's incredible enough to think that this world has magic and vindictiveness, and even if you still travel through here, no matter how incredible things are, you can understand it.
"It should be. Joanna also felt incredible: "After you fell on your back on my back that day, I also fainted. But this time when I fainted, my mind was so clear that I could see the jewel radiating holiness and nourishing my body. But I don't know how long it took, but when I woke up, my body was fine, and the gem became what it is now. ”
"You may have to ask His Majesty Pope Quincy to find out. After all, Lin Xia didn't understand any of this.
Jona didn't continue the question either.
"Where are we now?" Lin Xia tried to stand up, but the pain in his body was still unbearable, but fortunately, they were all traumatic, and it was no big deal, as long as he rested for a few more days.
"This is a village in the town of Meigang. Jona helped Lin Xia to her feet.
"Thank you. Lin Xia didn't refuse Jona's kindness, it was really difficult for him to stand up on his own.
Qiao Na was a little embarrassed, except for Lin Xia carrying her all the way, she had never had such close contact with a man, and her face was red again: "The owner of this house is Sister Monica, and she is the one who saved us." ”
Lin Xia motioned for Qiao Na to help herself out for a walk, and said, "Then we have to thank her well." ”
The two walked out of the room, where the yard was small and there was almost nothing but a well.
Qiao Na helped Lin Xia find a stone and sat down: "Sister Monica lives here with a child, they went into the mountains to cut wood, and they will be back soon." After Qiao Na finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Xia playfully, as if she wanted to see Lin Xia's joke.
"It can be seen that their lives are not rich. Lin Xia didn't pay attention to Jona's expression, and reached out to get some money in his arms, only then did he realize that he was not wearing his own clothes. I remembered that Jona said that there was only one Monica female with a child here: "Who changed my clothes?"
"Sister Monica asked the person next door to help change it. Qiao Na knew Lin Xia's thoughts, and said with a smile: "You don't have to look for gold coins, our clothes are all scratched, and the money has long been lost." ”
Lin Xia could only smile helplessly, and he couldn't repay others now, so he could only wait for later. He remembered that Jona had used a light shield spell, "Are you a magician?"
The magicians in Charlemagne's continent are basically comprehensive, that is, they can use earth, fire, water and other magic at the same time, but the light type is an exception.
Although light magic is also a type of magic, it is independent of the magic system, and there are very few mages who can use light magic, and these light magicians have almost all joined the Cult of Light without exception.
"yes, it's a pity that I only have level 2 and can't help much. Jona's expression was a little downcast. muttered, "I don't know if Dove will survive." ”
"Dove is your bodyguard. Lin Xia had already guessed the relationship between Jona and Dove.
"Yes. It was not surprising that Jona had guessed their relationship with Lin Xia: "When I was eight years old, Dove was my bodyguard, and now it's been seven years. He was one of my father's closest subordinates and always loved me. But now I don't know if it's life or death. ”
Lin Xia didn't ask who Jona's father was, but Jona was from Cagliari and could be known with a little inquiry.
Lin Xia had no choice but to comfort Qiao Na, and after a while, Qiao Na's sadness faded. The two talked about what happened after Jona woke up.
"Dad. A five or six-year-old boy ran in at the entrance of the courtyard, shouting excitedly for his father as he ran. The little boy was followed by a woman of about thirty years old who walked in carrying a basket of firewood.
The little boy ran directly in front of Lin Xia and said happily, "Dad, you're awake." ”
Lin Xia looked at the little boy in front of him in a daze, he didn't know how to answer, just wanted to say to the little boy You recognize the wrong person, I am not your father, I felt a pain in my lower back, and Qiao Na pinched him.
Jona stood up, walked up to the woman behind the little boy, took her hand and said, "Sister Monica, you're back." ”
Lin Xia saw Jona holding Monica's hand, it seemed that the two of them had been getting along well in the past few days, but Monica's expression was a little embarrassed. As if Qiao Na had known about this situation, she looked at Lin Xia playfully.
Before Lin Xia could understand what was going on, Qiao Na had already squatted down beside the little boy and said to the little boy with a smile, "Your father is back, go and bring him your gift." ”
The little boy remembered that he still had a gift for his father, and ran into the room.
Jona helped Monica put the firewood aside, Monica walked up to Lin Xia and said sorry, and Jona told Lin Xia what had happened.
Because of the famine, a large number of displaced people, because it is very close to the Jingyue Lake forest, belongs to the mountain terrain, and there are many surrounding mountains and forests, and many displaced people have entered the mountains to become bandits.
Monica's husband, an ordinary soldier in the city's garrison, died in a battle to exterminate bandits, when Monica's son Daniel was born.
Because Daniel has no father, he is often ridiculed by the children in his village since he was a child, so Monica has to make up a story for Daniel.
Monica tells Daniel that his dad is a hero, a great warrior, and that he left home because he was going to fight evil and save the world.
Lin Xia listened to the story that Monica made up for Daniel, and 10,000 grass and mud horses floated in front of him, this story was too old-fashioned.
Of course, the son wants his father to come home, and Daniel is no exception, always asking Monica when his father will be back. Monica just lied to him and told him that when a strange man came into the house, it was your father.
Monica's village rarely has a stranger come to her village for three or five years, let alone their home. It's just that what I didn't expect was that I saved Lin Xia by mistake.
Daniel decided that Lin Xia was his father, and waited for Lin Xia to wake up at Lin Xia's bed every day. Monica also doesn't know how to tell Daniel, he doesn't want to disappoint Daniel.
As soon as Lin Xia heard the reason for the incident, the little boy Daniel came out of the room with a small wooden knife in his hand.
Daniel gave the wooden knife to Lin Xia: "Dad, I made it myself." ”
Lin Xia looked at Daniel's expectant eyes and took the wooden knife. It is said that the wooden knife is actually not as big as the dagger, and it is slightly larger than the fruit knife. The wooden knife was very crude, but it was not easy for a young boy to do this. There are also two blood stains on the wooden knife, which may be that Daniel accidentally injured his hand while making the wooden knife.
Lin Xia couldn't bear to expose Monica's lies, and said to Daniel with a smile: "Dad will take you to practice knives." ”
