Chapter 13: The False Family
In the morning, Xia Han and the choir sang music in praise of the church in the square.
Ethereal, sacred religious music is different from other pieces of music in that its theme generally starts from the human heart, and the melody is simple but can provoke a strange effect of "vibrillation" in the human auditory organs.
The pure voices of maidens and children are the best weapons for religious music, and the choir uses the subtle transition between individual and crowd chorus to give the onlookers the feeling of being embraced by a breeze.
People in the ghetto are easily attracted to such songs.
Standing at the front of the choir, Xia Han was full of surprise to see the onlookers gather more and more, although there was no rush of cheers, but the itch behind him was telling him that this method worked.
Xia Han was sure that he also had a surname for listening to the songs, and after discovering the alienation of the poor people from him yesterday, he found the help of the prestigious church choir - and this group of girls really opened a gap for him.
Even if people were wary of him now, they would soon lower their vigilance against him as Xia Han and the choir appeared.
And even if they are still hostile, Xia Han can participate in the chorus in the worst possible outcome, collecting faith little by little.
Of course, this method is not perfect, and the nuns have a job to do, so it would be nice to spend two hours a day helping him - they all leave at noon.
Xia Han couldn't force them, so he could only make the most of their time as much as possible.
The choir and his square show went on like this, and to Xia Han's delight, he found that the girl named Swordless was hiding and watching them every day.
Xia Han pretended to ask a well-informed nun about the sword by chance, but he got unexpected information.
"No sword? Ah, that dark girl, I know her. ”
"Miss, your observation is very sharp, she is a famous child here, and the family is an outlier."
The nun uttered a word that was impossible to ignore—alien.
Does this mean that the other party's family is very mysterious and powerful?
Wujian's important surname to Xia Han was too big, Xia Han was afraid of missing this information, so he continued to ask deeply, but the answer he got was unexpected again.
The reason why the swordless family is different is because her family is all 'heartless' people.
"Her family is all aliens, there is no ordinary human feelings, the family of three never communicates with other people, a few days ago someone left the dog's body in her yard, but they didn't complain a word."
"There's a corpse in the yard, and they come and go as if they don't see it, and now they can smell the putrid smell when they walk outside."
The nun said something like this.
Xia Han naturally didn't believe it at all, the last time he saw Wujian, he had a rich expression - just like other children. How could she not have ordinary feelings, such rumors are just false rumors.
He felt that the credibility was too low, so he did not ask the nun again.
A few days later, Xia Han's actions had paid off, the seal of the second flower behind him had opened three petals, and the number of primary believers in the slum had reached five percent.
Wujian still stayed in the dark of the square every day to peek, and Xia Han felt that it was time to contact her.
However, at noon that day, a choir nun took out the basket before leaving.
"This is the cheesecake that Aunt Wuqian prepared for you."
She took out a delicate cake from the basket and handed it to Xia Han.
This just happened to be in line with Xia Han's wishes, and with lunch, he had a reason to stay here and look for an opportunity to contact Wujian.
The girl hadn't left yet - Xia Han was sitting under a tree enjoying his lunch.
"The taste is so much better than those disgusting meats"
Just a light bite, Xia Han felt full of fragrance - Wu Qian's craftsmanship is excellent.
How can there be such a big difference between her and the city lord of Jade City, who likes raw meat?
Xia Han thought at first that Wujing was pretending to be cool by eating bloody meat, and it was also to torture other people at the same table with him, but he accidentally heard the conversation of his subordinates and realized that Wujing liked to eat raw meat.
Strange man.
"Huh?"
The cake was almost eaten, but Xia Han found that the swordless who was hiding on the side was the first to be discovered by other children.
"Ah, look at this monster!"
"Hit her, everybody!"
"Die, monster!"
They took small pebbles and threw them at Wujian, and several of them even hit her directly on the brain.
[These bear children are so cute! 】
Xia Han is not angry but happy, these children's actions are too timely, it is like setting up a natural stage for him to be a hero and save the United States!
He gulped down the cake quickly.
"Your Royal Highness, wipe your mouth."
Xiao Sheng reminded that Xia Han casually took the handkerchief from his hand and wiped it a few times, and then pulled out his legs and ran towards Wujian.
[Keep throwing the children, don't stop!] 】
Xia Han was running, and at the same time he was secretly refreshed in his heart - he was smart and had already seen the end
The first is to run over, then scare away the group of children as a nobleman, and then squat down and take out a silk scarf to wipe the injuries on Wujian's face, and then say a few words casually
What little girl in this world could resist such a perfect plan.
"Hey, you guys!"
Xia Han let go of his throat and ran to the children's side with righteous words: "How can you?"
"Wow!"
"Run, she's a nobleman who eats people in beautiful dresses!"
"Mommy Save Me"
The bears and children scattered, and the summer cold was joyful, which was too godly
"Are you alright?"
He turned to face Wujian, his voice full of concern: "Your face is injured, I'll help you wipe it"
The girl's face was indeed wounded, and her feet were cracked several times.
Xia Han reached out to wipe her scars, and immediately let the red scars heal into a healthy color - no, this is cheese!
“”
"Sorry, I took it wrong."
Xia Han shook off Xiao Sheng's handkerchief to wipe his mouth without changing his face, and reached out to find a silk scarf from his pocket.
“”
Wujian was stunned for a long time, and then his eyes shrank suddenly like a mouse touching a cat, and he flew backwards.
This script is a little different from what I imagined
Wujian appears next to the square every day, why did she run away again when she saw Xia Han?
[Are you shy? 】
Xia Han remembered the eyes that Wu Jian showed in a moment just now, but it was not a shy look, but a genuine fear.
This fear does not seem to come from a gap in identity.
If Wujian was afraid of Xia Han because of his aristocratic status, then there was no reason for her to hide and peek every day.
What's going on?
Xia Han looked at the back of the swordless, hesitated for a moment, and still chased after him.
"Ding's New Plot: Fake Family"
"False Family Difficulty D Completion Condition: Uncover the Truth Completion Reward: Little Handmaiden."
New mission?
Xia Han put it aside for the time being, and it took him a lot of effort to catch up with Wujian - this kid was too fast.
"Hey, why did you run when you saw me?"
He asked as he grabbed the swordless sword and gasped. If she wasn't afraid of the identity of the nobleman, then what was she afraid of, could it be that Xia Han really looked so terrible?
"No, I don't know"
Wujian stepped back, and his thin body trembled: "You are very familiar, but it is scary to get close"
Xia Han frowned, familiar? - He also felt the same way, did the two of them really have some wonderful connection?
"I won't"
He was about to explain it to Wujian, but suddenly a couple of people ran in front of him.
"Little sword!"
They shouted like this, and Wujian suddenly shook off Xia Han vigorously, and quickly ran over and hid behind the two.
"Why are you kid running around again, didn't you tell you not to have contact with others?"
After the couple said this, they then glared at Xia Han vigilantly and left with no sword.
Xia Han stood in place and watched them leave, feeling strange in his heart, and couldn't help asking:
"Xiao Sheng, what are the occupations of those two people?"
The knight, who had been standing beside him and watching the development of the situation, frowned and shook his head slightly: "No, they are ordinary people. ”
He felt as strange as Xia Han.
Ignoring Xia Han's dress and accompanying guards, and even glaring at him not very friendly—this is not like something that ordinary poor people dare to do.
The other party has no strength, is there any special background?
On the way back, Xia Han thought about all the information in combination with the plot tasks.
The name of the new plot is 'False Family', and the reward for completing the plot is a handmaiden. There is no doubt that this maid can only be the heroine of Wujian, who activates the plot, and her age is indeed worthy of the word 'little'.
In other words, the result of the story mission is to capture the swordless. And both the name and the completion conditions seem to indicate one thing: Wujian's family is fake - her parents are most likely not her biological parents.
But
"Xiao Sheng, what do you think is the relationship between those two people and the child just now?"
There was silence in the carriage, Xia Han didn't speak, and no one bothered him, but he opened his mouth to break the silence.
"Parents and children, you can see it from their appearance."
Xiao Sheng replied immediately.
"Sure enough," Xia Han whispered, he felt the same way, in fact, the two men were very similar in appearance to Swordless - so similar that no one would doubt their blood relationship even if they were not verified by DNA.
In this way, it is difficult to establish the conjecture that they are not biological parents, so what does a 'false family' mean?
The night of this day fell in Xia Han's thoughts, and the City Lord's Mansion was lit up and brilliant.
"Little princess, what do you think of this scene?"
More than a dozen brightly dressed girls danced in the middle of the hall with their waists and skirts fluttering. Their faces were like peach blossoms, and their mouths were smiling, like a group of indulgent flowers, enough to attract the eyes of the noble children in any luxurious banquet.
However, this is not a banquet, and the audience is only two people.
"Are these women pretty? You can make them slaves if you want."
Wu Jing sat on the throne and hinted, "Or do you want something smaller?" ”
“”
Xia Han couldn't help but sigh, there were only two contacts, but his concern for the swordless was still exposed?
The level of surveillance of him by Wujing is simply ridiculously high.
"Can I choose for myself? Not a slave"
Xia Hansuo opened the skylight and said brightly: "I'll choose a maid myself." ”
He didn't care what Wujing was thinking, but he didn't mean to object to the situation-his tone didn't seem like he was warning Xia Han. Perhaps the 'freedom' given by Wujing includes the freedom to let Xia Han choose his subordinates.
"Pick a maid? I don't like the word 'choose'."
However, Wujing sneered, he waved his hand to disperse the dancing girls, and then took out a document: "What I want is not a choice, but a conquest!" ”
"No sword, this is the girl in your photo, her information can't even be thoroughly checked by me, good target"
He raised his hand and threw out the data, which swept through the air and landed accurately in Xia Han's arms:
"I give you all the information and information, you let the girl take the initiative to leave the family and leave with you, whether it is conspiracy, power, money, or even the power of the guards, whatever you want"
"As long as you can conquer her, anything goes."
Wujing looked at Xia Han, who was standing still, he promised everything, but he didn't forget to add slowly at the end: "But you have to remember, whether it's a maid or a slave, you must not be tempted!" ”
There was no smile in his eyes.
Xia Han felt that Wujing was always white-hearted sometimes, and no matter how beautiful a woman was, she had never captured him, how could that girl with an extremely ordinary appearance have such a great charm? She's just a prop—a prop for Xia Han's cultivation.
The Jade City Lord was obviously misunderstanding his concern for the Swordless.
Therefore, Xia Han did not take his words seriously, and obtained permission, and he took the materials to study that night.
Wujian's family came to the slums of Jade City five years ago, her father was called Wutian and her mother was Wufang, two names without any characteristics. And it's not just the name, these two people are also thoroughly poor in other aspects, saying that they come out and do what they do, and they live a difficult life.
They are not professionals, but they are in better health than ordinary people and have never fallen ill. The information given by Wu Jing contained all the information about the life of this family from the time they entered Jade City to the present, and what he said could not be ascertained - it was only impossible to find out that they were five years ago.
Xia Han consulted the illustrated book, and as a result, he found that there were thousands of people named Wutian and Wufang. Among them, only two couples are married, but neither of them has anything to do with Jade City.
The couple had used a pseudonym or had just targeted the damaged data - Xia Han couldn't be sure which one it was.
However, in Wujing's information, Xia Han still got a very helpful information: the relationship between Wujian's family is very strange.
Although they are a family, their relationship is not particularly close. The husband and wife of Wutian and Wufang loved each other, and Wufang used the term 'concubine' to refer to herself - but this method of self-designation was only used by a few people or other races.
Unlike her parents, Wujian is an alternative existence, she has no room at home and can only sleep on the balcony, and the housework is basically completed. And the way Wutian and Wufang taught her was not like a daughter, but like a slave, and they didn't even allow Wujian to come into contact with others.
This kind of education makes Wujian silent and withdrawn.
"Isn't this domestic abuse!"
After reading the information, Xia Han said to himself, and his doubts about the blood relationship of that family once again poured out.
Although he really wanted to simply hijack Wujian, Xia Han did not forget that the plot mission required 'uncovering the truth', coupled with Wujing's request for 'conquest', the key to this matter was to start with Wujian himself.
She is very afraid of the summer cold, and the first thing to do is to eliminate her fear.
Xia Han began to be troubled, using tough methods against timid and withdrawn children would only lead to resistance, and all he could use was tender aggression.
