Chapter Twenty-Three: The Patriarch's Past
Shuma walked down the road back to the mountains with kitchen utensils and an amazing cauldron carrying the two Bucky, who had come in under the name of "ingredients".
Bucky took the island map back into his pocket, and he didn't expect that his words would have such a surprising effect, and it was strange that this old woman suddenly seemed to have a different personality.
Bucky asked, "Xiuma, what's the matter with your great patriarch?" ”
Escaped for the time being, and felt that his life was extended, Moqi leaned on the cauldron, looked at the villages that were getting farther and farther away, and exhaled with palpitations: "I was going to eat people just now, but suddenly I became the grandmother next door...... Although I still have to eat people's grandmother next door. ”
Xiu Ma walked on the mountain road step by step, revealing without hesitation: "Because the great patriarch has a problem, once she hears other people's praise, she will accept the other party's request for no reason." ”
"I see, no wonder her attitude just now suddenly became ambiguous......," Bucky muttered, "What a strange weakness." ”
"Moreover, I heard them say that the great patriarch used to go to the outside world when she was young, but after she came back, her temper changed greatly, and her original yearning for the outside world became disgusted, and after she became the great patriarch, she forbade the clansmen to go out, as if it was because she was deceived and violated outside, and it became like this." After Xiu Ma finished speaking, his body suddenly stiffened, and his expression became panicked, "It's over, if the Great Patriarch knows that I am talking nonsense, I will die, Bucky, Mickey ingredients, don't say that I said it." ”
Mochi said weakly, "Yes, yes, and...... My name is Mochi. ”
Listening to the little story told by Shuma, Bucky thought with amusement: "I was deceived and violated...... No wonder Hui Xiuma just said that she was going to the outside world, she was so excited, but what kind of deception and aggression was it......"
He silently made up: a lonely girl drifting on the sea, fortunately rescued by a fisherman on the island, the fisherman saw the girl's beauty, and was immediately shocked, sincerely admired and praised, and the girl lost herself in the praise and exaggeration of the fisherman, and had an unprecedented good impression of each other, and got along all day long and in the other party's rhetoric, and finally dedicated herself to the other party, but she later found that the fisherman had a wife, so she changed from a docile wife to a little three who hindered the feelings of the fisherman and his wife.
Wait a minute...... The old woman's dry face and two deformed yellow teeth appeared in Bucky's mind, and suddenly there was a chill, and all the brain images were shattered in an instant, could it really be a beautiful girl?!
He couldn't help but ask, "Xiuma, was your great patriarch beautiful when he was young?" ”
Xiuma thought for a moment and said, "It's beautiful, I haven't seen it, but Airo and Saya all said that the great patriarch used to be a beauty that was seen once in a hundred years. ”
"That's it......" Bucky regained what he had just thought, it seems that he guessed that he should be eight or nine and ten, in this way, it makes sense, the pure and ignorant girl was deceived and cynical, and finally saw through the red dust and returned to the mountains and forests.
Xiu Ma did not lag behind in the slightest, and then said, "The Great Patriarch must have experienced a very painful thing when he was young. ”
Mochi also chimed in: "I didn't expect her to have an unknown side. ”
While the three of them sighed at the great patriarch of the cannibal tribe, in the big tent of the Kumat tribe on the other side, the patriarch sat on the couch, holding the mirror in his hand, and muttered to himself: "Even the years have not taken away my beautiful appearance......"
The two outsiders who suddenly broke in suddenly reminded her of the things that secretly went out when she was young.
That year, she did not listen to the advice of the previous patriarch, went to sea alone, drifted to an unknown island, was rescued by the local fishermen, and the fishermen took care of her, and she was also moved by the fisherman, and finally made up her mind to be with the fisherman, the fisherman was very moved, and then ...... Sold her to human traffickers.
Later, she tried her best to escape, on the way to escape, a kind and kind middle-aged man helped and took her in, under the middle-aged man's almost gentlemanly behavior and etiquette, she admired the other party and confided her heart to the other party bluntly, I still remember, hearing her confession, the man was moved to cry for a night, and finally ...... In the end, during a meal, she was mortgaged to a restaurant to work as a dishwasher.
Thinking of the more than ten unfortunate events like this in the future, the great patriarch looked at himself in the mirror and fell into unwillingness, "Why, these people outside are going to deceive me, I am obviously so beautiful, why do they all abandon me, they are too dirty and hypocritical, so they can't see my beautiful appearance!" ”
Outside the door, an old man of the Kumat tribe sat on the ground, thinking of the appearance of the great patriarch when he was young, and sighed silently.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Bucky and his party came to the halfway point of Xiongling Mountain.
Xiu Ma put down the kitchen utensils in his hand and the cauldron he was carrying: "We can't go up, if we go up again, Lord Xiong Ling will be angry." ”
Bucky and Mochi leap out of the pot, and Bucky asks, "So what are we going to do?" ”
"As long as I'm done, Spirit Bear will follow the taste."
"Xiuma, you don't really plan to use us as ingredients." Mochi leaned over his head, a little drumming in his heart.
Xiuma patted his chest: "You are all my friends, I won't be bad to you, don't worry!" ”
This simple guy was unexpectedly reliable, and Bucky looked at the woods everywhere and said, "In that case, what kind of beasts are there around here?" ”
"I don't know, it's my first time coming to Xiong Ling Mountain." Xiu Ma said with a smile.
Looking at the other party's face without any sense of crisis, Bucky was a little helpless, and suggested: "Then let's split up to find prey, this will be more efficient, no problem." ”
After Shuma agreed, Bucky continued, "Once you've found your prey, let's gather here. ”
"Then let's say okay, whoever finds the ingredients first will be the first place!" Shuma suddenly became enthusiastic, and his eyes burned with the flame of victory.
"I didn't mean that at all......" The corners of Bucky's eyes twitched at the suddenly excited guy in front of him who liked to follow the rhythm.
"Hehe, in that case, Lord Mochi, a beast tamer with a dark legend, will try it with you!"
Wait, what's going on with this beast tamer who was still shivering just now...... Have you been completely led astray?!
Mochi and Schumar sped in two opposite directions, disappearing from Bucky's field of vision.
