Chapter 41: The Sick and Weak Girl Keya
The village of Sirob was as calm as ever, with villagers smiling and chatting and greeting each other, and as the sun set, the day was about to pass again.
The man in the gray cloak avoided the crowd and walked down the deserted road, looking down at a strangely threaded fruit in his hand, and muttered, "That money-hungry colonel hid this fruit in the vault...... This must be a great treasure! Will it grow gold coins after being buried in the soil, yes, it must be! ”
She cautiously looked at the fruit in her hand, and when she looked up again, she unconsciously found that there was a luxurious villa in front of her, and sniffed her nose fiercely: "Is this fragrance guiding me over......?"
Then he looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, and he jumped high and crossed the fence of the villa.
Coming to the backyard of the villa, she buried the strange fruit in a relatively soft and fertile land that looked like a medicine garden and planted a lot of herbs, and covered a lot of soil on the fruit, and gently patted the dust on her hands, "Hide it, wait until tomorrow morning to come back and have a look, maybe it can really grow gold coins." ”
As she spoke, her stomach growled, and the smell of hot meals from the kitchen kept stirring her olfactory nerves, "Fill your stomach first, then ......"
Following the aroma, he opened the kitchen window, then gently closed it, and seeing that there was no one around, he unceremoniously stuffed the cheese, toast, and pumpkin pie on the table into his mouth one by one, and said vaguely: "Of course, the task of a thief is to steal, and stealing food is my forte!" ”
Suddenly, her ears moved, her body flashed, and she took a few quick steps with the plate where the food was placed, and hid behind the cupboard in the corner, munching on the fluffy pastry while listening to the movement outside.
There was a crackling sound of pots and pans in the kitchen, and a very anxious voice kept urging.
"Hurry up, the eldest lady is sick again, hurry up and prepare to make medicinal diets......"
"Hey, not only does this medicine have a strange shape, but it also smells so bad...... Forget it, the medicine is bitter, the doctor's words will not be wrong, act quickly! ”
After a while, when the footsteps were gone, the cloaked man leaned out and placed the empty plate in his hand on the table: "These people are too stupid to find that there is no lack of food......
Before she finished speaking, her eyes stared at the peel on the table, "Wait, isn't this the strange fruit I just buried!! ”
Then he immediately climbed out of the window and ran back to the place where the fruit had been buried, only to find that the fruit and the surrounding herbs had been emptied.
Really...... The fruit in the kitchen is buried here!
She covered her eyes a little speechlessly, and suddenly, her nose moved slightly, and she smelled something similar to the one in the kitchen, and a curiosity about what would happen to that fruit made her look up.
After some thought, she ran to the nearby tree, and like an agile cat, she sprang up, and her body was half-crouched on the thick trunk.
Through the cracks in the undrawn curtains in the windows of the villa, a sickly girl with blond hair could be faintly seen lying on the bed, and a man who looked like a housekeeper nearby carefully scooped the decoction with a spoon, blew twice with his mouth, and then went into the girl's mouth.
After a while, the sick girl slowly opened her eyes, and looked at the ceiling with a somewhat pale and weak face.
"Miss, you're awake, the doctor's prescription and special medicine seem to be very effective." The butler breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm really bothering you, Merry......" Koya looked around a little confused, "What about Krabatel?" ”
"He went to buy food and hasn't come back yet." Mei Li helped Keya's upper body up, and then slowly put the soup in the bowl into her mouth, "Miss, be careful of burning." ”
"It's so stinky......" Keya covered her mouth, and the long-lasting unpalatable soup made her uncomfortably pinch her head.
"Miss, the medicine is bitter, you must drink it, so that your body can get better quickly......"
Keya didn't listen to Mei Li's words at all, her eyes were full of joy when she looked at the windowsill, and she subconsciously said, "Usopp! ”
Merry put down the bowl and walked over to lift the curtain with a thud, and it was empty outside.
"How could it be...... He didn't come today......" Keya's joyful eyes instantly turned into disappointment.
"Miss, don't deal with that country liar anymore, and Mr. Chlobaatle has often told me that he is not a good man, and that he approaches us for another purpose......
"It's only been a few months, but I don't think Usopp is a bad person, okay, don't talk about it anymore......" Koya didn't want to dwell on the topic, "I've been reading medical books written by Kulokas, who were highly rated back then...... Mei Li, do you think I will have the talent to study medicine? ”
"Of course, as long as you study hard, Miss, you will definitely become a famous doctor in the future!"
Ke Yayue's eyes were crooked like crescents and smiled: "Okay, Mei Li, help me bring the adventure book and the medical book." ”
Merry handed the thick "Ivan's Adventures" and "Kulokas's Medical Observations" on the bookcase on the coffee table next to the bedside: "Miss, don't look at it for too long, rest early, I'll go down first." ”
Keya took the book on the bedside and placed it on her erected knee, turning the page with the bookmark in it, her pale face wandering with a smile from her heart.
……
The east coast of the village of West Rob.
A group of pirates happily danced around the campfire, and Usopp's excellent communicative (bragging) skills quickly mingled with the pirates, and he was also instigated by this group of pirates to drink a lot of wine.
He looked at the pirates in front of him drunkenly: "I, Lord Usopp, have 80 million subordinates, known as 'Proud Usopp', and I once took my subordinates to a mysterious island, you know, that island is made up of the feces of huge goldfish, and it is so big ......?"
As he spoke, he made a gesture.
Xiuma became a loyal little listener, his ears pricked up, and he looked at Usopp intently: "Wow, this is too powerful! ”
"It is impossible for such an island to exist if it does not exist," Mochi whispered in his ear beside Xiuma, only to be met with disdain from the latter.
"He doesn't believe me......" Mochi fell to his knees in frustration.
"How could it be that you yourself were hit!" Kabaji complained on the sidelines.
Looking at the happy pirates in front of him, Bucky took a sip of his own wine: "It's really laid-back, Usopp ......"
"Haha, why do you call me Master Usopp!"
Bucky handed over a bounty slip and said nonchalantly, "Do you know this person?" ”
"Pirates? I don't know anyone other than you and Shanks,......" Usopp took the bounty slip from Bucky's hand, his pupils narrowed suddenly, "He, he's ......"
"More than two years ago, a pirate nicknamed 'Hundred Crowe' was captured by the Navy and publicly executed, but ...... The guy who was executed was just a stand-in, he himself didn't die, he survived......"
Bucky looked at Usopp, who was so shocked that he couldn't help it, and said slowly: "Although Chloe's bounty was destroyed by the Navy three years ago, as a colleague, I specially kept one. ”
Usopp crumpled the bounty sheet with a heavy face, clenched his fists angrily, and ran anxiously in the direction of the village, "Keya......"
Kabaji asked suspiciously, "Captain Bucky, why did this kid leave all of a sudden?" ”
"It's time to find the truth." Bucky looked at Usopp's back.
"I want to see it...... What would happen if you advanced the plot, haha, I'm such a bad guy. ”
