Chapter 56: The Cover-Up

Crunch!

The old wooden door was pushed open, and there was a twilight sound.

Then an old man came out of the door, dressed in shabby clothes, skinny, with gray and black skin, and his cheeks were tightly clasped, looking listless.

The moment they saw it, Fang Xing and the others dispelled the idea that it was a pirate.

Does such a thin man look like a pirate? However, Fang Xing did not let his guard down, did not signal Ain and Binz to come out, but continued to remain hidden.

After the old man walked out, he looked around, trying to find the figure who had just spoken below. After a while, he cast his eyes on Fang Xing, and after looking at it carefully for a while, he showed a sudden and relieved appearance.

Because of the naval uniform Fang Xing was wearing, even if there was no communication between this place and the outside world, the old man still knew about the navy. The other point is that Fang Xing looks like he doesn't look like a vicious pirate.

Just then, there was a loud thud on the door.

A rather young girl slammed the door open, rushed out, and shouted directly.

"What are you going to do to Grandpa Risilla?!"

The girl's skin is the kind of healthy yellow that comes out of the sun, her face is not marked, and she has a little pockmark, and she holds a firewood knife in her hand, which is a tool used to chop firewood in the mountains.

Just the hands holding the firewood knife, trembling slightly and half-squinting, betrayed the tension and uneasiness in her heart.

"Klee don't be afraid, I'm fine, he doesn't look like a bad person." Licilla reassured.

He gently lowered the hatchet in Klee's hand with his hand, it was still too cruel for a child to let her hold a weapon, and he didn't want Klee to bear it.

Hearing this, Klee obediently put down the hatchet and hid behind Ricilla to look at the figure in front of her.

White hair, unusually white skin, a marked face, and the red pupils of the demon king who should have appeared in the story did not look so terrible in his eyes, but had a strange charm, and he looked like a child about the same age as her.

Klee asked tentatively, "Sister's name?" ”

".....I'm a man." Fang Xing squeezed this sentence out of his mouth.

Klee didn't control the volume, naturally Ain and Binz, who were hiding not far away, heard it, Ain wanted to laugh a little but didn't laugh, Binz thought it was normal, and he thought so at first.

The voice was soft, just like Grandpa Risilla had said, not like a bad person, Klee thought.

But she was not ready to apologize, but said a little willfully: "It's so cunning, it looks like this." Then he hid himself behind Ricilla's legs.

It's just that Licilla's thin legs can't completely block her body, and you can vaguely see her secretly looking at her.

Licilla glanced at Klee first, there was no harsh criticism in her eyes for Klee's impolite behavior, and she soothed her palm slightly before looking at Fang Xing.

"I'm sorry, but this kid wasn't like that."

"It's fine." Fang Xing responded.

Although the little girl Klee said that it looked like this, it was still quite lethal, but he was not ready to deal with it, and the old man also apologized to himself, so he passed the matter.

Seeing that Fang Xing didn't care, Risila opened his mouth and asked, "I'm the village chief here, Risila, are you?"

"My name is Fang Xing, um.. It's a navy. Fang Xing replied.

He knew that only in this way could he reassure the old man and stabilize his emotions as much as possible, and the navy was still synonymous with justice in the eyes of the vast majority of people.

"Navy? Does it mean that there is still an accompanying navy to come to the rescue? Ricilla's tone was eager, and she asked the question that was most of his concern right now.

Although he is only the head of a small village, he still has some knowledge. Judging from the neatness of Fang Xing's clothes, he didn't think that Fang Xing would be able to drift to this island alone, it was more likely that he came with a warship.

"Hmm."

Although theoretically, they are only here to train, but with Zefa's character, they should be able to help.

Hearing Fang Xing's reply, Licilla breathed a sigh of relief.

"Forgive me for being so urgent, but now that the food in the cellar is running out, and the pirates don't know when they will return, that's why it's so..."

Although Licilla did not reveal any flaws in her words, Fang Xing still sensed the suspicion.

"Running out of food? Why did I find bread and flour in my room, and I should cherish them when I was running out of food? ”

If it is true, as Licilla said, the food is successful, and it should be taken seriously, and the food will not be put on the surface, let alone put the food on the table, and prepare flour that cannot be eaten directly, which is undoubtedly a reminder that there is someone on this side.

It's just to hide the news from them and tell others.

"I took out the food, and when I noticed the movement, I didn't have time to take it back."

Klee stepped out from behind Licilla and preemptively explained.

"Aware of movement?" Fang Xing asked repeatedly.

Klee said again, affirmatively, "yes, aware of movement. ”

Fang Xing was sure that he came here with a concealed body and voice, and it was impossible for ordinary people to discover it during this period, that is, unless Klee had the domineering or ability to see and hear, or had some special ability.

But is it possible?

From the fact that Klee didn't know what was going on outside, it was clear that Klee didn't have that ability, and it was impossible for Klee to have some kind of special ability.

Seeing that she was domineering, Fang Xing would rather believe that she had lied.

Instead of poking, he said, "How did you perceive the movement?" ”

"Of course I heard it." Klee replied as a matter of course.

At this moment, even Ain and Binz, who were hiding on the sidelines, sensed the problem, they knew Fang Xing's ability to conceal his voice, so they sensed that something was wrong when Klee spoke and listened.

Fang Xing couldn't help but think, from their actions and figures, it could be confirmed that they were indeed villagers, but why did they hide the truth.

Focusing on food, if there is only one room with food, can it be considered for only one person to live in. The reason why the villagers concealed it was that this person was a pirate, so that it could explain why they had to conceal it, the navy and the pirates were completely different concepts, in the eyes of the villagers, the navy would inevitably arrest the pirates when they saw them, and this person may be kind to the villagers.

"Little brother, can you help us contact your warship as soon as possible? We need help urgently. Licilla interrupted Fang Xing's thoughts, and her tone was a little anxious.

Fang Xing felt Ricilla's anxiety and was slightly stunned.

"Well, I'll leave for the coast at once, and you can wait in the cellar."

Hearing this, Ricilla let out a long breath and took Klee back with her, closing the door.
