Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Old Woman's House
Wei Xiao dodged slightly, and easily dodged.
The sweet potato fell behind him and spun around the ground a few times.
A grassy hand reached over and picked it up from the ground.
Clover played with the sweet potato with the palms of both hands, poured it up and down on both palms in turn, and sniffed it under his nose: "Well, there is a natural plant fragrance, if you can roast it with fire, it will definitely taste fragrant!"
"If you like to eat sweet potatoes, go to my house, I have a stove at home, put the sweet potatoes on the stove, and then fill the stove with firewood, and burn it vigorously, so roasted sweet potatoes," the old woman said with a smile: "The outside is scorched and the inside is tender, the melon flesh is soft, and there is a sweet fragrance, which can warm people's hearts when eaten!"
Clover blinked her eyes, obviously a little tempted: "Really...... Yes?"
The old woman nodded: "I can not only roast sweet potatoes at home, but also corn, pumpkin, and red beans...... It's all good things that grow in the ground, and they taste so sweet!"
She painted, and Clover's saliva couldn't help but flow.
It took a blade and stabbed Wei Xiao with the palm of its hand: "Wei Xiao, let's go!"
"Don't go. The gods replied with two words.
"Why?!" Clover said in amazement.
"Because I'm not interested in human food. The Celestial General's answer remained faint.
Shamrock was about to jump.
"The food of the world, the food of the world......" It twisted its stem in front of Wei Xiao and walked around: "The food of the world is also born and raised, although it is not as good as the jade dew elixir of the heavenly realm, but it also has a unique flavor and is very delicious!"
"Can delicious increase aura?" the god stiffly replied: "No matter how delicious it is, it's useless waste!"
"Delicious...... Isn't that enough?" Although they both grow in the Heavenly Realm, Clover and Wei Xiao's understanding of food seems to be fundamentally different......
Bai Qianyu suddenly said: "I'll go!"
Carry the sweet potato basket on your back.
When Clover heard this, she immediately jumped up happily, and hurriedly ran over to grab her: "White girl, let's go!"
One person and one grass will follow the old woman to her house.
They had only taken a step, and Wei Xiao was already behind them and said, "Wait a minute!"
Clover turned back suspiciously: "Do you have something?"
Wei Xiao's face was cold, and his eyes fell on Bai Qianyu's back: "White girl, why are you going? Give me a reason!"
Bai Qianyu didn't look back: "If you don't go, I'll naturally go." โ
"Is that a reason?" Clover's eyes looked back and forth between the two of them.
Wei Xiao stood up suddenly.
"This village is very dangerous, you left me, what if there is danger?
He stepped forward quickly.
Only then did Bai Qianyu turn around and bless him sideways.
"Thank you. โ
Her gaze was still not on him.
Even when she walked, she deliberately kept a distance of two steps from him.
Clover was sandwiched between the two of them, looking at this to the left and that to the right, and after walking a dozen steps, he suddenly laughed out loud holding the stem.
Bai Qianyu and Wei Xiao still couldn't help but ask in unison, "What are you laughing at?"
After asking, the two of them looked at each other awkwardly, and each twisted his head.
Clover laughed and said, "I laugh at you...... For the two of you are, and you are...... Hahahahaha!"
It couldn't help laughing, and it simply rolled around on the ground holding the stem.
Bai Qianyu squatted down, stretched out his index finger and poked it a few times on its blade head: "You grass head, what can you understand? I'm angry that he actually dislikes the food in our world!"
"I'm not disgusted," the god would explain with great difficulty, "I just don't eat...... Well, it's just that I can't get used to it...... I just think, well, that, the taste is not very adaptable......"
The more he explained, the worse it became.
Bai Qianyu glanced at him hatefully.
"Isn't that disgust?"
Wei Xiao had no choice but to keep silent.
Clover rolled with a smile: "Look at you two bickering, okay...... Good...... It's so ...... Meaning!"
"What do you know about a grass?" the old woman walked slowly in front of her on crutches, and turned her head with a smile: "What are they called," she paused, squinted and laughed: "It's not that the enemies don't get together!"
"Mother-in-law, what are you talking about!" Bai Qianyu twisted and stomped his feet.
The sweet potato basket on her shoulder slipped and pressed her down.
She was just about to hold the basket rope, but she felt a steep lightness on her shoulder, and it was Wei Xiao who took the basket off her shoulder and carried it herself.
She was about to say thank you, but the other party had already strode away as if nothing had happened.
"Hey!" Bai Qianyu looked at his back and said loudly, "Don't you dislike the food in our world?"
"But I'm even more afraid that you will twist your shoulders and feet or something, and become a burden to me. The other party didn't look back.
Bai Qianyu's face was flushed.
The old woman smiled kindly, her wrinkled face turned into a flower.
The old woman's house is at the west entrance of the village, and the three of them walked all the way, before the sun set, they arrived.
Pushing open the somewhat dilapidated wooden doors, the house was simple but clean, with bunches of corn cobs hanging on the outer wall, and in the inner room, in addition to a few wooden tables and wooden benches, there was a spinning wheel against the wall, and the spinning wheel was full of dust.
The old woman let Wei Xiao into the kitchen, put down the sweet potato basket, and then beckoned them to sit down in the hall, and said: "This is my grandmother's house, although it is a little poor, but it can afford your food and lodging, no better than sleeping outside, and always worrying about the attack of werewolves." If you don't dislike it, stay here!"
Bai Qianyu's eyes widened: "Old woman, do you mean that there are really werewolves in this village?"
"Well," the old woman nodded, and the expression on her face became serious, "There are three werewolves in this village, and it is said that they are called the Knife Wolf, the Head Wolf, and the Hidden Wolf. Werewolves usually transform at night, and after the transformation, their mana will be very strong, and no villager is their opponent! They will take advantage of the night to kill innocent villagers, and during the day, they will take the form of human again, and mix in all the villagers, no one can detect them. โ
"This ...... It's terrible!" I found a clover sitting in a bamboo basket by the wall, and my whole body trembled, and the three leaves trembled: "I heard that werewolves eat human internal organs and drink human blood, and instead throw away the flesh on their hands and feet...... Theyโwill they eat my innocent grass?"
"Don't worry. Wei Xiao, who was sitting in the corner, raised his eyes and glanced at it: "Werewolves are not vegetarians!"
"Oh. Clover patted his chest, breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it for a while, and said, "What if they suddenly change their taste, eat too much blood and offal, and want to eat some green leafy vegetables to supplement their nutrition?"
Its green face was a little pale.
The old woman looked at it with a smile: "Werewolves should think that you are not enough to stuff your teeth." โ
Wei Xiao ignored the clover, and just said to the old woman: "Mother-in-law, you said that there are three werewolves in this village, so the gray wolf I killed at the entrance of the village earlier ......"
The old woman shook her head: "It's just a low-level werewolf, to put it simply, it can only summon weapons and other spells, and high-level werewolves, each of them has their own unique skills." The gray wolf," she leaned forward, and a burst of light came out of her old cloudy eyes: "It's just the key to the mission, killing it will announce that your mission to the 'Werewolf Village' has officially started!"
"Key...... Quest ......?" Bai Qianyu felt that these words were so familiar, a bit like the novice village mission she started when she was playing an online game, could it be that this "werewolf village mission" was her first entry-level mission in this other world?
Damn...... There was a "buzz" in her head, she seemed to have passively chosen the "hard mode", a "werewolf village mission" looked very difficult, and this otherworld system didn't seem to give her a golden finger?!
She turned her gaze helplessly to Wei Xiao.
Maybe...... Wei Xiao is her golden finger, a tool for her to survive and upgrade in another world as a mortal?
She was determined to be nice to him from now on.
Certain.
Even if the tool looks a little cold, sometimes you even have to slap her.
