Chapter 17: The Old Lady Who Got Involved

"In that case, there's no such thing as an old woman like me here. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info I'm a little tired, so I'll go to rest first. ”

Just as Dick was holding the night pot and eagerly trying it, the old lady, Benjamin's grandmother, who had been sitting silently on the side, suddenly spoke.

Benjamin was a little surprised, and the attention of the others was suddenly diverted.

"Old lady, when you are tired, rest, it's all a small thing, and no one will blame you if you don't want to come. ”

Before Claude could speak, Aix Fur said the same.

"I'm so old, I have to be there when something happens, otherwise, someone will think I'm not there. You say yes?" replied the old lady, again in a nonchalant tone, as if sarcasm, as if it were just a yawn.

Ax hurriedly shook his head and said, "The old lady laughed......

Benjamin stood aside, silently listening to the conversation between the men. As soon as the old lady spoke, the conflict between him and Dick's family was immediately put aside. It seems that his eccentric grandmother's status is not low.

However, Benjamin had a faint hunch: suddenly jumping out at such a time, the old lady probably didn't really want to rest. Otherwise, why would she have to say so much with a gun and a stick?

Doing something?

Hurry up, make it as big as possible, and give him a little more time to think about how to get through this hurdle.

"I asked Anna to serve you to rest. ”

Claude also stood up, said this to the old lady, turned again, and began to gesture with his eyes to the servants outside the door.

"No, you think I'm so old and useless? I can walk on my own. But the old lady waved her hand, leaned on the cane in her hand, and stood up.

"But......" Claude hesitated.

"But what? Mary didn't say anything, so what are you anxious about here? Mary, do you say yes?" the old lady interrupted him impatiently, and turned to Benjamin's mother, beside Claude.

Mary, Benjamin's mother and Claude's wife, was evidently a little surprised at the moment. She probably didn't expect the old lady to suddenly turn the conversation to her, her eyes widened, and she covered her half-open mouth with her hands.

After a moment's hesitation, Mary replied, "Then it depends on your wishes, mother, I have no opinion." ”

Hearing this, the old lady snorted and couldn't hear any emotion.

Benjamin complained in his heart. It turned out to be a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law tearing up, and she couldn't tear it up, it didn't seem to help me, and I couldn't even delay much time. As soon as the old lady left, the Fur family would immediately raise the night pot to themselves again.

I don't have time to watch the play, this kind of drama is performed every day, and there is nothing to see.

Let's think about what to do!

If Dick really wanted to smash him in the nightpot, could he have objected to it? Claude wouldn't really kick him out of the Reeser family, would he?

But...... What if they are really kicked out?

Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

If he really wants to be kicked out, he can only go to the church, and the church will use him to catch Michelle, and it will definitely not treat him badly. But to learn magic right under the nose of the church is to go to hell right after the tutorial - this game is anti-human.

Words on the streets...... That's even worse. However, the church does not expect to allow itself to live on the streets, but will control itself. In a way, staying in the Riser family is the best choice for me to maintain my freedom of movement.

My head hurts......

Just as Benjamin was planning the way back, the old lady, who was about to leave, suddenly made a very strange move: as if she was a little weak, her crutches slipped and suddenly threw it to the side.

It didn't matter if he threw it, but where the crutch was thrown, it was just Dick standing with a night pot.

Before everyone could react, the crutch hit Dick in the heel. Dick's legs went limp, and he couldn't help but fall backwards and fall heavily to the ground.

And the night pot in his hand was also thrown out of his hand at the same time as he fell, and flew high in the air, drawing a graceful parabola. Then, it struck Dick in the face as he fell to the ground.

Bang bang!

Dark liquid splattered everywhere, like a giant flower, blooming from his face in the form of an abstract painting.

Everyone gasped and took a few steps back, away from Dick in a state of bewilderment as if fleeing the plague.

Dick, too, fell to the ground in shock. He reached out and touched his face, then slowly moved his trembling hand to his eyes. Looking at the brown object on his hands, his whole face couldn't help but tremble, and a deep despair filled the depths of his pupils.

"Ahh

With a heart-wrenching scream, Dick fainted again in the.

Because the series of events happened so quickly, the crowd did not have time to react except to hide far away and not let the dirt splash on them.

And the initiator of the whole incident, Benjamin's grandmother, also reacted quickly to hide by the door of the living room before the night pot landed, clutching her chest in panic, looking frightened and innocent.

In the living room, there was silence.

Benjamin came back to his senses and looked at the innocent old lady hiding by the door, and was even more shocked.

These days, not only young people, but even elderly grandmothers want to make a big news!

Looking at the people around him who were stunned and almost sluggish, Benjamin learned to be obedient this time. The gun shot the first bird, and until someone spoke to break the silence, he had to maintain a sense of stealth and complete transparency, and would never speak again.

Anyway, this is the second time he has faced this kind of scene, in other words, he is a person with work experience.

However, everyone present seemed to have more work experience than the other.

Everyone was immersed in incredible shock, looking at Dick in the, no one made the slightest sound, and no one's expression changed in the slightest. Everyone was intoxicated by the "shock", allowing the stench to spread, but no one seemed to have a tendency to cover their noses.

It was as if someone had frozen time, and only the startled crows outside the window let out a slightly miserable-sounding cry.

The whole scene seems to suddenly become a contest of endurance, and Dick's screams become the sentence "We are all wooden people, we are not allowed to talk or move".

Benjamin felt a little confused.

What are these people doing?

"Everyone is a nobleman, and they are all more experienced than you. The system silently complained in his heart, "Of course, it is also possible that people in this world are very slow to react, and no matter what happens, they have to react for a long time." ”

“......”

Benjamin was speechless.

In this strange "shocked" silence, I don't know how long it took, and finally, a strange sound put an end to it. Benjamin was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was his stomach barking.

In such an environment, this "coo" is particularly clear and penetrating.

...... He was hungry.

All eyes were on Benjamin again.

Benjamin couldn't regret it. It occurred to him that he hadn't eaten anything since he crossed into this world. Anyway, he didn't eat when he was awake, and he didn't know if anyone fed him during the three days and three nights he was in a coma.

And the breakfast that he was supposed to eat was also made by his grandmother. So, in fact he was very, very hungry, but there were so many things piling up that he forgot about it all at once.

Until now, the hunger pangs have accumulated to a certain level, and with a bang, the time bomb has exploded.

He was once again in the spotlight.

Just when he was screaming in his heart, the old lady suddenly opened her mouth as if she had come back to her senses:

"Ah, this ...... I'm so sorry. Probably because the crutches had been used for too long and were a little slippery, I accidentally missed them and hurt the child. You won't be angry, Count Faure. ”

The old lady's words came out like a spell that had lifted the magic, and all of them had expressions of retrieval on their faces, as if they had really just recovered from the shock. They looked at each other, exchanging the disbelief of the rest of the "shock", and each of them could not find a flaw in their expressions.

"This ......" Aix Fur looked at his son who had fallen to the ground, and the fat on his face trembled, and he still looked stunned and didn't know what to say.

"Mother, are you alright?" asked Claude to the old lady.

At his signal, several servants walked in and tried to help the old lady.

"No need, I've got an old bone, what can I do?" the old lady waved her hand and refused.

Aix glanced at Dick on the ground again, and his face became more and more difficult to look at. Behind him, several people who Benjamin didn't know, probably from the Fur family, exchanged glances, and their faces gradually became a little embarrassed.

One of them patted Ax on the shoulder and whispered a few words to him.

Aix's eyebrows furrowed deeply. He glanced at the old lady again, who seemed to be frightened, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke:

"Old lady, you are embarrassing us. ”

When the old lady heard this, she stroked her hair and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I'm so old, how can I embarrass you? I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to today's matter." Isn't your child advocating fairness?, let's prepare another thing of this, and let this kid smash me once, so that we can settle the matter, and don't go to the bishop and let the other nobles laugh at our two families. You say yes, right?"

As soon as these words came out, before Ax could react, Claude was already shocked.

"Mother?"

"This is my business, I'll take care of it, you don't care. With a wave of her hand, the old lady pressed Claude back, and as she spoke, she looked at Ax again, and asked solemnly, "Do you have any opinion on how I deal with it?"

Ax was stunned, and his expression suddenly became puzzled, obviously unable to understand the old lady's proposal:

"This ...... How can we do such a thing to the old lady? Don't be kidding, old lady. ”

The old lady said with a righteous face: "How can this be, isn't your child bent on revenge? For the glory of the nobles, what has been said naturally cannot be counted." This is what happened to Benjamin who accidentally injured this child before, and the same is true of what happened to me that accidentally injured this child. Come on, just hit me with that thing. In order to gain your forgiveness, I will never go back. ”

The old lady's solemn tone startled Aix. He also felt that something was wrong, but due to the sudden inexplicable sense of oppression on the old lady, he didn't have time to think, so he could only subconsciously answer:

"No, how could we possibly do such a thing? You were inadvertently wrong, and we forgive you. ”

Hearing this, the old lady had a surprised expression on her face. She glanced at Dick unconscious, raised her eyebrows intriguingly, and rolled her eyes. Suddenly, she looked at Ax again and said:

"The Count's generosity is truly admirable. So, on behalf of me and my grandson Benjamin, thank you for your generous forgiveness. As she spoke, without waiting for any reaction from the others, she turned to look at the servants at the door and commanded, "All right, the matter is finally over." The guests of the Fur family are also leaving, so why don't you send them off quickly. ”

After these few words, she immediately turned back again, and her movements were so agile that she did not look like an old man who was nearly seventy years old. Before Ax objected, she continued to speak to the people of the Foer family, and with a "amiable" aura, she blocked back the words that Ax had just come to her lips:

"I'd like to keep you as guests, but the Count is so busy. Today's matter has been resolved so satisfactorily, your grievances have been resolved, and everyone is happy, so I will not keep you. ”

At this, she paused slightly, and then, a kind smile appeared on her wrinkled face:

"Be careful on the road, Count Aix, and have a good day. ”

Count Aix looked confused.
