Chapter 183: The Vacation Ends
Chapter 183: The Vacation Ends
The stove is outside, and the place where Fifteen and the little girl Lena faint is the inner room.
I noticed it when I woke up on the fifteenth, but I wasn't distracted, just focused on the food in the pot.
I boiled a pot of diced meat and vegetable soup, and when the diced meat was almost rotten, I tore a piece of dough and sprinkled it in little by little, and then opened the pot, and it was done.
"What a rough cook!" Leo said.
"You don't need to spend too much time cooking, do you?" I said, "Do you want to carve a pot of broth like you carved a talisman?" ”
"There's a chance for you to see it!" Leo said, "He woke up......"
I knew that Fifteen had woken up, and stood at the doorframe looking at my back.
"Hungry?" I asked.
"No ......," he said.
I took the soup pot down, picked up the clay bowl from which they were eating, and filled it with a bowl, and said, "Come on, eat a little first, and when your daughter wakes up, I will give her a little more." ”
Number 15 looked at me stunned.
"You, cured Rena's illness?" He looked complicated, as if with a hint of apology.
"Well," I said, "but for the time being she is still very weak, and needs enough food to recover slowly, and you don't need to hire any priests for the money you earn, just keep it for food!" ”
After a while, the little girl Lena woke up.
She opened her eyes weakly and saw Fifteen and me.
"Daddy......" The girl's voice was still weak, but there were signs of recovery.
"Lingna, you, how are you feeling?" Fifteen asked cautiously with the bowl in his hand.
"I, I'm so hungry......" the girl said.
No. 15 was stunned for a moment, and then became excited: "Lingna, you, aren't you uncomfortable?" ”
"It's not uncomfortable, I'm so hungry, I want to eat......" The girl stared at the bowl in Fifteen's hand.
"Good, good!" The fifteenth was so excited that he said three good things in a row, and broke the soup bowl in a panic, "You're finally willing to eat!" Come! ”
The girl also seemed to be hungry for a long time, and opened her mouth to drink.
After a long while, the girl finished the soup, squinted her eyes and said, "Daddy, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep......"
The fifteenth hurriedly said, "Sleep, sleep, Lingna, sleep and your illness will be cured!" ”
When the girl had fallen asleep, I went outside with the fifteenth.
"Lena was sick last month," said Fifteen, "about two days after the troll wizard you said appeared...... But you say that troll has something to do with Rena's illness? ”
"You saw that straw man, it's troll witchcraft!" I say.
"I see!" The fifteenth thought about it, what he wanted to say, and whether he said it or not.
"Do you have a secret?" I asked.
"Well......" Fifteen did not deny it.
"I know what happened in the Colosseum," I said, "and maybe those people will trouble you, so you might as well move." ”
"Where to go?" Question 15.
"Go out of town, go to the countryside, find a village, be a hunter." I said, "The people in the city don't farm, they don't hunt, they only have money in their hearts, especially the people in the Colosseum, they will really kill you for money." ”
"I had this idea," said Fifteen, "and I was a hunter. ”
"Then go ahead," I said, "and I wouldn't have intervened in your life if it weren't for fortuitous reasons." ”
"You have secrets, too?" Number 15 said.
"Of course," I said, "forget it, it's not too early, and I should go, and I'll ask you one last thing." ”
"I'll say what I can." Number 15 said.
"Do you know what this is?" I pulled out the piece of animal skin paper that recorded the second layer of the vajra body.
"You...... Where did you pick it up? Fifteen asked in surprise.
"Right under the bed." I say.
Fifteen took the vellum paper and looked at it, and said, "It was Lena who picked it up from outside, and she said that it was a sneaky nezumi thief who fell from a nearby ......."
"Nezumen?" My heart moved, and I immediately thought of the underground labyrinth, and hurriedly asked, "When is it?" ”
"It's been more than two months," said Fifteen,...... "probably, less than three months." ”
"Before the underground labyrinth was discovered!" Leo said, "Then it's no problem, these things, indeed items from Huaxia, have been left in the labyrinth!" ”
I nodded, "Okay, that's what you paid me." ”
Fifteen returned the vellum paper to me and said, "It's useless for me to keep it anyway." By the way, you should know that this thing has something to do with underground labyrinths, right? ”
He lowered his voice, and I nodded: "There is something to do with it, but it also has something to do with that troll wizard, and I won't talk about the specifics." ”
"I'm not interested in knowing, the less you know about the affairs of the strong people, the safer it will be for me." Number 15 said.
"Hey, you know the rules." Leo said.
I looked at the sun that had gone down and the sunset in the sky, and said, "Okay, I'm leaving, take care of Rena's illness, and move away quickly." ”
"I know," Fifteen nodded, then said sincerely, "Thank you!" ”
"You're welcome." I say.
Throughout, we didn't ask each other's real names.
Leaving the slums, I took advantage of the darkness to return to the temple.
Dinner was eaten on the way.
The two-day holiday ended like that.
When my companions who stayed at my lodgings saw me and I returned, they all sympathized with me and said, "Don't go to your heart, there is an opportunity, and these nobles and priests have no ability to ...... without us."
To be honest, although I haven't let go of this grievance, I don't care so much anymore.
In just one day, I encountered so many things, it was almost as long as seven or eight days......
"It's all right," I said, "but I'll pay back the money I borrowed from you in two days!" ”
"It's okay, it's okay," said the two companions who were on escort missions together, "and there's no shortage of this little money anyway." ”
"Where's Dole?" I asked in passing.
"How could he come?" Someone said, "When I have time, I go home and take care of business." ”
I smiled and stopped asking about it.
"Where are you going to take a break today?" The totem warrior asked me.
"Went to the Colosseum." I say.
"Okay, where to vent and relax," they nodded, "yes, you're not going to lose all your money in it, are you?" ”
I said, "Pitch a little bit, don't lose too much!" ”
The totem warrior immediately changed his face and said: "Don't get old in that place, we originally represent the temple, it's not good to be recognized, besides, those games are manipulated, winning or losing is predetermined, there is no need to waste money." ”
I nodded, "Okay, I'll pay attention next time." ”
A rotating soldier who often patrols the streets together smiled evilly and said: "The big gladiatorial arena has gone, but the happy house in the alley next to it has not been went?" ”
"Nope." I say.
"Hey, it's better to go anywhere than to the Colosseum." Said the totem warrior.
Leo said a little boredly: "Look at your unenterprising companions, you are really hopeless, if it weren't for me, you would be as mediocre as them sooner or later......"
"Without you, I wouldn't have worked so hard......" I said.
It was getting dark, and we continued to make small talk for a while, almost ready for bed.
Before going to bed, it is natural to take stock of today's gains and keep practicing.
The Taiyin Stone began to work, and more of the so-called "moonlight essence" began to be absorbed by my body. However, it seems that the efficiency of this absorption is not very high, just like rainwater dripping from the eaves, and it is an extremely long process to fill the water tank.
Leo said, "Be content!" If it's like a tap that opens the floodgates, it fills you up in minutes, and you'll blow up! There is a saying that if you want to be fast, you can't reach it, and you can't become a fat person by eating in one bite, you know? ”
"I know everything," I said, "isn't it just a matter of talking!" ”
"This kind of thinking is very dangerous," Leo said, "Now that you have embarked on the path of cultivation, and the energy of your body is also biased towards Huaxia cultivation, you should be very careful about your state of mind, talking about your mind and being irrational, and other bad emotions, which will affect the balance of your practice." ”
"So serious?" I said, "Then what are you still practicing?" Your Earth's way of cultivating is too dangerous, isn't it? ”
"Quite the opposite!" Leo said solemnly, "It's because the cultivation method of your world doesn't pay much attention to the control of emotions and mentality, so it will emphasize talent, in fact, I didn't know much about these things, but recently I realized that you have to be careful, even the people in this world have fallen into darkness and become evil villains!" ”
"Where did you know that?" I asked strangely.
"Read," said Leo, "if you're ugly, if you're stupid, you have to read more!" It's all in the books! ”
"You always have a point," I said, "but I still feel fooled." ”
"You're going on the right path!" Leo said.
"I hope so." I say.
Next, I checked the eggs that had been hit in the tin box.
The egg didn't move, and the life energy inside was weak, but it was steady.
Then, just like last time, Leo ignited the scroll of the "Second Layer of the Vajra Body" and fused it into my body.
"One step closer to invulnerability." Leo said.
"Can you stop knives and arrows without a shield?" I say.
"Almost," said Leo, "go, practice boxing, keep your fists in your hands, and never leave your mouth!" ”
I walked out of the house and started practicing.
Brad came out to pee again.
I remember he hadn't come back when I was chatting, and it seemed like he had only finished his mission while I was in the house.
"Dancing again?" Brad said.
"Hmm!" I nodded.
"Go to bed early." Brad went to the corner.
"Isn't there a latrine?" Leo said, "It's unhygienic! ”
