Chapter Seventy-Two: The Crossroads
In the early morning, a hazy halo rises in the sky, heralding the official start of a new day.
Little Nami and Nokigao had breakfast, and when they had nothing to do, they left the house and went to the orange grove to play hide and seek.
Bermel knew that Nami and Madara had nothing to do with her, but he relieved himself and let her out. Besides, with Nuo Qigao following, naturally she will not let little Nami leave the orange orchard.
"Nami, I'm going to get you!"
Nokigao let go of her small hand covering her eyes and began to search for Nami-chan's hiding place.
"Hee-hee-hee......"
A little girl stood outside the orange grove, her smart eyes revealing a hint of cunning.
Nokigao is also looking for his sister in the orange orchard, but he doesn't know that little Nami has left the orange grove.
Little Nami went all the way east to the streets of the village, and there were no people around, the houses on both sides were closed with windows and doors, and there was no one to see on the long street except for Little Nami.
"Everyone woke up so late today!"
Xiao Nami was surprised, although it was still early, there should be a lot of early risers in the village at this time.
She didn't know that because of Madara, the villagers were hiding in their homes and did not dare to come out, just waiting for the navy to arrive, and the demon would leave.
Nami's eyes rolled, remembering what Bermel had told her, and she understood why there was no one in the village.
"Is he really that scary?"
Nami remembered Madara's appearance in her mind, and she really couldn't figure out what was so scary about that young man who was as dazzling as the sun.
While thinking about her thoughts, Xiao Nami walked forward and unknowingly arrived at the destination bookstore. Here's something she'd rather risk being scolded than sneak out.
Bookstores are also not open. The two wooden doors were closed.
Nami hesitated if she just went back. Didn't she run out in vain?
Dangdang!
Nami hesitated for a moment and knocked on the wooden door of the bookstore.
An old woman opened the wooden door, and it was the same old woman from yesterday.
When the old woman saw the little Nami in front of the door, she was stunned at first, and then said with a pleasant face: "It turned out to be Nami!" "I'm not surprised that little Nami came to the bookstore so early.
"Excuse me!"
Xiao Nami saluted, hurried into the bookstore, and came to the bookshelf where she stayed yesterday.
Bookshelves that were still crammed with books yesterday. There was a row of books she needed most, but now there was no trace, and even all other books on navigation were gone.
"Why are all the books here!?"
Xiao Nami's mouth opened slightly, the book she didn't steal yesterday was very important to her, so she ran to the bookstore early in the morning today.
Even if you can't steal it, you have to read it all.
"That book was sold yesterday!" The old woman said to little Nami in a daze.
A small bookstore in the village of Cocoa Yaxi, although there is a wide variety of books. But the number is limited.
Madara buys all the books about sailing, and Nami has only two options to read them, one is to wait for the new books to arrive at the bookstore. The other is to go to the person who bought the book.
"Sold?"
Little Nami blinked, she knew that few people in the village read books on navigation.
The book had been sitting here for a long time, and no one had bought it.
"There was a guest yesterday. Buy all the books on navigation......" the old woman explained, and at last she stopped abruptly.
"Is that him?"
Clever little Nami has been from the old woman's expression. Guess the identity of the person who bought the book.
The old woman was silent, and she recognized Nami's idea even more.
Nami glanced at the empty bookshelves. Turn around and leave the bookstore.
The morning breeze blew through the streets, rolling up the dust on the ground, and the huge long street was quiet and terrible, with a hint of depression.
Little Nami walked alone in the middle of the street, looking very lonely, she lowered her head slightly, as if she was unhappy, raised her little foot and kicked away the stones on the side of the road from time to time, and walked towards the back of the village unconsciously.
She really wanted the book so badly that she wouldn't have used it to steal.
What now?
Lost in a mood, Nami unconsciously walked out of the long street and was about to go home, when she suddenly stopped and looked up ahead, a dense forest glowing with green vitality under the morning sun.
There was what she needed, but Aunt Bermel told her not to go into the forest.
Nami stands at the crossroads of her life, and two paths determine her future destiny.
If you go home, you may be scolded. If she saw the book, she was not afraid of Aunt Bermel's blame, but now that she returned empty-handed, she would have to be scolded, which was really unworthy and unwilling.
Xiao Nami's eyes flickered, and she raised her feet and walked in the direction of the forest, she would be scolded no matter what, and she was not afraid of making another mistake.
In addition to the book thing, the mysterious man also attracted her curiosity.
As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, she doesn't think too much, or she doesn't know anything about the future, just makes a decision based on the ideas of a child.
Xiao Nami panted and ran up the slope of the back mountain, looked at the forest in front of her, and fell into a hesitation again, not knowing whether to walk in or not.
Will that person be in the forest? Could he have already left? What if he's really a badass?
"Little girl, are you lost?"
A deep voice came to Nami's ears in the breeze.
Nami's pupils flashed with a hint of surprise, and she hurriedly turned her head, and a dazzling figure stood behind her, looking at her calmly.
"Uha ......"
Cat Fairy yawned, rubbed her eyes, glanced sideways at Spot, and then at Nami.
I really admire Madara, it's a last resort.
Originally, she saw Madara staying in the forest and didn't go out, and she wondered how he recruited Xiao Nami, who would have thought that after a sleep, the other party would obediently send it to the door the next day.
Although Cat Xiaoxian didn't know what method Madara used to persuade Nami, she knew that the moment Nami came to find Madara from the beginning, the final result must be to agree to leave with Madara.
The group of troubled children in the Shenwei Space, no matter what the reason for following Madara, all left their hometowns and willingly joined the Xiao Organization.
What's more, those who are desperate are like falling into other gods.
It really made the cat fairy sigh and sigh at the same time.
Could it be that people are divided into groups, things are like like people, and neuropathy is also attracted to each other.
Mao Xiaoxian really can't figure it out, Madara is so convincing people, why he was so lonely in his previous life.
She didn't know that Madara was a human being in two lives, and she had a belief that ordinary people could not reach.
If you owe a favor to someone, you will have to repay your life.
Once upon a time, Qin Shi, because of this character, made people squeeze out the last trace of value, and then discard it like a rag. By the time he saw through the world, there was nothing left. From then on, he didn't trust anyone, and no one trusted him, until he met the cat fairy.
In the already cold heart, a ray of sunshine appeared.
Tie the grass ring, never forget it until you die! (To be continued......)
