Chapter 571: The Fat Man's Great Escape
"McLean! Such a coincidence? ”
When Maca saw the big fat man, the other party also happened to turn around. But just when Maca wanted to say hello casually, the fat man shook his fat and ran towards him in waves.
It was naturally a little funny to see him running away, but I didn't expect it to be extremely flexible. It wasn't long before he was running to Maca's side.
"McLean, I told you that if you meet a little girl, remember to help me stop her for a while. Well, if you have the means, you can do it for a year and a half! Young Master Ben slipped away first! The fat man spoke to Maca as he walked on and on, and then went back to the castle behind him.
"I believe in you! If it's you, it will work! I'm optimistic about you...... Hello you...... You...... Yo ......"
Listening to the echo behind them from nowhere, Maca and Fanny glanced at each other, and then subconsciously looked at the garden gate in front of them.
Not to mention, they just looked at it, and soon noticed that a small figure suddenly stepped out of the corner of the hedge. It was a little girl, in her early teens, wearing a popular fine linen dress, and she looked even cute.
Of course, if it's popular, it's only in France in the Muggle world. If you want to ask what clothing has been trending in the wizarding world lately, huh...... Except for the wizard's robes, which are always in heavy tones, it can be said that they can wear everything, and there is really no popular trend to speak of.
Like pure-blood wizards, the dominant aesthetic of the wizarding world is still a few decades old. The complicated and heavy clothes are exquisite, but sometimes they are a little inconvenient in ordinary life. If you want to talk about Muggle-born wizards, it's much better.
"Is this little girl the fat man's sister?" Maca shook her head secretly, "It seems unlikely, didn't you just send a letter in the morning?" ”
He was still thinking about it, and the little girl on the other side was already coming this way.
I saw the little girl passing all the way through the garden in the forecourt, and a pair of eyes lingered in the splendid sea of flowers around her from time to time. But even though she seemed to be attracted by the delicate flowers, she did not stop at all, and the distance between her and Maca was quickly shortened.
But when Maca felt that the other party was about to come to her, she didn't expect the footsteps of the little girl to suddenly stop. Immediately after, a dark shadow suddenly burst out of the bag behind her, grabbed her clothes and swung towards Maca.
"Huh?"
The little girl hurriedly stretched out her hand and pulled it, but she couldn't catch the black shadow.
The speed of that little black shadow is very fast, and it can even be said that it is agile. In the blink of an eye, it landed on the ground and jumped at Maca's waist.
Maca's reaction was extremely fast, but he quickly reached out a hand and directly used the levitation charm to freeze the black shadow in midair. The little creature struggled in the air, and when he realized that it seemed to be futile, he had to look innocently at Maca with his big round eyes.
At this time, you can see that the little creature is covered with short black and shiny hair, and his mouth is as flat as that of a duck, and his limbs are thick and short, and his claws are long. If you can compare, it may not be difficult to see that it actually looks very similar to a mole.
It's a sniffer.
"You, hello, sir...... Can you give me back my Skaven? ”
As Maca looked at the little thing in front of her, the little girl stood in front of him with her mouth pursed. Looking at her timid appearance, she looks quite well-behaved.
"Nice pet, at least with it, the pocket money on weekdays must not be worried." Maca shrugged her shoulders and said, "Of course, if you don't have to be afraid of those bitter masters who have been stolen coming to your door......"
As he spoke, the sniffer named Skaven floated lightly forward, and when he reached the little girl, he was held in his arms.
"Thank you, sir." She spoke softly, and wanted to pass by Maca, obviously not wanting to say anything more to the stranger.
But there were fat people's words before, where would Maca really think that this was an ordinary little girl? Just by looking at the fat man, he was so frightened that he ran away, and he knew that the little girl in front of him was so well-behaved and afraid of life, maybe it was an illusion.
“…… Sarah, why are you here? ”
Maca didn't look back, and shouted casually. But after a short moment, he turned around and looked at the small figure.
"What a funny little girl." Maca smiled and muttered to herself.
The words he shouted just now were to lure the little girl into reacting. If a normal person hears someone call their name coldly, most people will respond, which is almost a reflex behavior.
Of course, if the other party does not look back, it does not necessarily mean that it is not the other party's name. In fact, most people will turn their heads to take a look when they hear movement behind them. This is not a conditioned reflex, but a vigilance talent that is inevitable as a living being.
If you don't look back, if you don't hear it, it's probably because you deliberately don't let yourself react.
Maca thought for a moment, and beckoned Fanny to follow, and he wanted to see what kind of child this little girl was.
……
A little more than ten minutes later, Beauxbatons Castle is behind the hill.
Somewhere in the shadows of the woods, the fat young master of the House of Hohenheim was carefully hiding behind a large tree. But since his body is so fat, how can an ordinary tree stop his figure? In this way, it makes him look very funny.
"Oh no, no, no, no...... The girl is coming! Didn't McClain hold her back for much longer? Oops, oops...... It turns out that the wizard who can kill the Dark Lord can't beat that girl, huh...... It's horrible! ”
The fat man hid his ears and peeked out like a bell, and his mouth kept muttering. He muttered as he quickly glanced around, as if trying to find a more reliable place to hide.
It was a pity that the little girl obviously knew the general direction of his position, and at this moment walked out of the back door of the castle with small steps, but came to him without hesitation.
"It's over...... the fat man stamped his foot hard, splashing a puff of mud, "I hope McLean is okay!" Well, I wish you good health...... Master, I can only express my great gratitude for your sacrifice. ”
With that, he turned and ran toward a bush, striding deeper into the woods.
At the bottom of the hill, the little girl was gently caressing the delicate fur of the sniffing Skaven in her bosom, but her eyes glanced straight in the direction the fat man had left.
"My dear brother, do you just want to see Sarah so much? Sarah thinks about you every day! ”
She muttered to herself, but without pause at her feet, she continued to walk unhurriedly.
After a long while, the fat man realized that he had escaped far enough, and he finally slowed down and gasped for breath. Even if he felt that this distance was not enough, he didn't have more strength to continue running, in fact, just such a mountain road was enough for him!
"Alas...... Forget it, young master, I won't run away......"
He took two more heavy steps, and then leaned limply against a tree trunk. As he leaned in, the tree shook suddenly, which showed that his flesh was really weighty.
It's a pity that his escape this time is obviously going to come to an end here.
"Brother Noah, Sarah has finally found you"
A sweet voice sounded behind the fat man, but it made him shake the fat all over his body, and then immediately jumped away. Looking at his agile skills, it seems that the tired appearance just now is fake.
"Uh...... Sarah ......" A stiff smile appeared on the fat man's face, "Good afternoon!" Dear sister...... How did you get here? ”
"Is it because Brother Noah doesn't want me to come?" The little girl blinked her eyes and said pitifully, "That's a pity, Sarah missed you very much during the two days that Noah's brother was not at home...... Brother Noah, if Sarah didn't wake you up today, you must be in bed again, right? ”
The fat man's face darkened when he heard this, for he immediately remembered the explosion in the auditorium this morning. If he hadn't happened to wake up early today, he would have had the letter delivered directly to his pillow, and he would have been terrified to think about it......
"No, no, my brother got up early today," the fat man suddenly patted his chest hard, "You don't know, that letter exploded in Beauxbatons today, that's really ...... You have to be careful, if you're at home, you can't get that kind of 'little joke' outside! ”
"Explosion?" The little girl said with a puzzled face, "What explosion?" Why can't Sarah understand? ”
If you only look at her innocent expression, maybe most people will be deceived. But the fat man saw his sister grow so big now, how could he believe her words?
"Oh Sarah, my brother is also doing things for the family now, isn't he? You can't let your brother be embarrassed outside! He struggled to squeeze out a smile on his face and said softly, "By the way, you haven't said why you're here!" Is there something going on at home? ”
"Nothing?" Sarah shook her head, looking at her brother's eyes that were shining like jewels, "Hmm...... My brother is now a big man, and Sarah knows it...... But Sarah still knows that people who do big things are not as fat as their brothers, right? So, Sarah still came to help her brother lose weight! ”
When the fat man heard this, his face obviously darkened.
