Chapter 19: The Basement and the Potato

From Aix's apology to the departure of the group, the whole time did not exceed fifteen minutes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Under the persuasion of the old lady's "kindness", Aix finally gave in. He apologized and asked the people he had brought to clean up Dick. Eventually, they carried Dick and left the door of Reese's house in a gloomy manner.

Looking at the silence and haste with which they left, you can see how humiliated they really felt in their hearts. But the old lady who made all this didn't seem to feel it at all, but sent them out with a kind face.

"Be careful on the road, we at Reeser are always ready to welcome you. ā€

Ax glared at the old lady viciously, and walked out of the door without saying a word, without looking back.

And just like that, the people of the Fur family left.

Benjamin's heart blossomed. Of course, he still tried to hold back on his face and didn't show it.

This was probably the first time since he crossed over, and when all was lost, someone else stepped forward to save him. As a mental adult, he has the consciousness to rely on himself for everything, but it feels really cool to be able to lie down and win once.

Does this mean that I am not so unlucky?

In any case, he should never be overwhelmed by the night pot. At least it is a matter of joy that it has escaped.

However, he soon discovered that he was too happy too soon.

"Benjamin, what the hell happened last night, did you do this?"

After the Fur family had left, the old lady shut up, and Claude, who seemed to have regained the majesty of the head of the family, suddenly opened his mouth and asked Benjamin very seriously.

Benjamin chuckled in his heart, and immediately cast a look of help to the old lady.

The old lady yawned and ignored it.

ā€œ......ā€

Finished.

Save people to the end, send the Buddha to the west!

Claude apparently saw Benjamin's weakness as well. I only heard him snort dissatisfiedly, and his expression became very scary. He glanced at the old lady absently, and then continued to lecture Benjamin:

"Don't think that this matter is over, how do I usually teach you? Where did you leave all your pride as a noble? Running away from home is even a matter of making trouble, you can't let us worry about this kind of thing when you come back less than a day ago?"

Benjamin listened, and when he heard a certain sentence, a question mark suddenly popped up in his heart.

Running away from home?

What's going on? How do you feel like you've missed another chapter, or what plot you've missed?

"Hey, what's the situation with running away from home? Did Benjamin run away from home before?" Benjamin asked in his mind, puzzled.

"Not really. "The system answers questions and answers very firmly.

"And what's going on?" asked Benjamin.

"I don't know. The system answers.

"You ......" Benjamin was slightly chosen, but this was not the first time, so he recovered immediately and reacted quickly to complain:

"What do I want you for?"

The system's tone didn't rise or fall at all: "It's useless, so you don't come to me again, let's break up." ā€

ā€œ......ā€

This system is toxic.

Consciousness returned to reality, combed through the timeline before and after, and soon, Benjamin realized the only possibility of the "runaway from home" incident.

Could it be ...... No one else knew he had been kidnapped, but thought he had run away from home?

Blind student, I discovered Huadian!

, no wonder after I came back, the people in this family didn't have any condolences at all. What happened to this family, they didn't know that their son was kidnapped, and they thought that their son had just run away from home? It is estimated that the church is also there, in order to hide Michelle's news, they did not tell the truth to the Rieser family.

No wonder! No wonder I can't see a good face, no wonder their attitude is so bad!

Anyway, he just came back from the ghost gate. If these people knew this, how could they be like this?

Thinking of this, he immediately opened his mouth to defend:

"I didn't run away from home, I ......"

"Shut up, good boy, where did you learn to lie so well?, are you stupid to me?" however, Claude interrupted him mercilessly, leaving no room for rebuttal in his tone, "You want to lie to me?" and did not run away from home...... You haven't run away from home, so where have you been in the past few days, have you been kidnapped?"

ā€œ......ā€

yes, I was kidnapped.

Benjamin wanted to say that, but in this situation, if he really said that, he would probably be beaten to death.

Damn, it's another one who steals other people's lines.

Looking at Claude's state, the degree of anger is even worse than before, I'm afraid, this is also mixed with the grievance of being pressed by the old lady in front of outsiders. It was impossible for Claude to be angry with the old lady, so the unlucky one could only be Benjamin.

If you are angry like this, I'm afraid it's useless to say anything.

He could only be scolded with his head bored.

Sure enough, good luck is only temporary, and bad luck is eternal.

In this way, Benjamin was scolded by Claude for fifteen minutes in full view of everyone, and the details will not be repeated. And in the process, everyone else in the living room was like frozen, not moving or talking, looking at the nose and nose, and only the maid was still trembling and cleaning up the feces and urine.

Finally, after this series of scoldings, Claude's anger gradually subsided. He looked at Benjamin, who was silent, paused for a moment, and suddenly said:

"Go to the basement and give me a good reflection, don't think about eating if you don't admit your mistakes!"

As a result, Benjamin was locked up in the basement with a crawling belt.

The whole criticism meeting came to an end, and everyone in the living room went back to their own homes and looked for their own mothers. Meanwhile, under the face and vicious gaze of Claudra, a maid accepts the task of confinement of Benjamin and takes him to the basement of the Reeser family.

It's not like in ordinary fantasy novels, where the basement always hides the secrets of the family, and you can summon demons to sign contracts with a book and so on. The basement of the Reeser family...... It's really just a little basement.

A small room of about eight square meters, with dark masonry walls and moss crawling through the cracks of the masonry. And in this basement is nothing else, but bags and bags of potatoes.

As soon as Benjamin entered the basement, he stepped on a potato, and his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell into the sea of potatoes.

And he was about to turn back and ask for help, when with a bang, the maid who had led him in disappeared, leaving only the dark iron door closed tightly, and the lock on the door was locked tightly in an instant.

Benjamin looked at the light-revealing keyhole, stunned for a moment, and sighed.

He slowly climbed up from the pile of potatoes.

"Confinement......" he looked around, checking the environment.

He patted the dust off his body, found an open space without potatoes, sat down, used the large bag of potatoes behind him as the back of the chair, and leaned on it in a less awkward posture, which was considered to be a firm seat, so the whole person slowly relaxed.

"Whew...... Although it was a confinement, it was a chance to breathe a sigh of relief. He muttered to himself.

Although he was punished in the end, it was much better than being covered in the face by the night pot anyway. Isn't it just confinement, can he still be locked up for a year and a half? It is estimated that he will be able to go out in a few days, and he will not suffer much.

He could even take this as a break for himself.

Speaking of which, it has only been five days since he crossed into this world, and except for the three days when he lost consciousness, the remaining two days are in a state of tension all the time. Fighting wits with Michelle, throwing a nightpot at a sleepwalking Dick, being assassinated by an assassin, going to church to find out the news, and having a critique meeting with the Fol family...... He's really done a lot in the past two days.

Is...... It felt like a dream.

It's really uneasy these days, there are so many things like Party A of the design company, and one is bigger than the other.

Feeling like your body is being hollowed out.

At this moment, he even began to feel that being called here by Claude to be locked up was the best thing he had ever encountered since he crossed over.

The basement is small and cramped, but it's not uncomfortable. The dim relationship and quiet environment also calmed his restless mood, not to mention the faint aroma of potatoes wafting through the air.

Aroma of potatoes...... It smells pretty good.

Maybe it's because I'm hungry.

Thinking of this, Benjamin suddenly realized a very serious problem. This problem has been around for a long time, and it has shown its terrible destructive power. If this problem is left unchecked, it will inevitably have unpredictable and terrible consequences.

The problem is: he's hungry.

Very...... Very hungry.

He hadn't eaten for a day and a night, and the intense hunger pangs ran from the esophagus to the stomach to the large intestine and small intestine, and then from the large and small intestines back to the throat. The feeling of being through the heart is simply - hungry.

At this moment, he remembered Claude's words: "Don't think about eating if you don't admit your mistake!" This phrase echoed in his ears like an early morning alarm clock until it produced a shadow.

Don't want to eat......

Want to eat......

Dine......

Rice......

He froze for a moment, and then, as if suddenly aware of something, his bow and arrow bounced off the ground, rushed to the closed iron door, and grabbed the rusty keyhole.

"Let me out! I want to admit my mistakes! You can't stop me from admitting my mistakes! Open the door and I can still admit my mistakes! I love to admit my mistakes! Admitting my mistakes makes me happy......"

Heart-rending voices echoed through the basement over and over again.

Until Benjamin was so hungry that his hands and feet were weak and he couldn't hold the door, and his voice was so dry that he couldn't help coughing, and the world outside the door didn't respond. He slipped off the door like a gecko and collapsed limply on the ground, feeling a little tired.

He began to realize what a terrible punishment confinement was.

After a moment of slumping on the ground, his gaze began to turn to the potatoes scattered around him.

Although it is raw, although the taste is certainly not much better, but ...... I guess I can still eat it.

"Can potatoes be eaten raw?" he asked, turning to the system.

"I haven't eaten it, you can try it. The system replied.

ā€œ......ā€

If it weren't for the hunger and lack of energy, Benjamin would have scolded the system.

Don't they all say that when there is a famine, people even eat tree bark, and they can eat the bark of trees, and they can eat the leather belts, so why can't they eat raw potatoes? Isn't the mashed potatoes he eats at KFC similar to raw, and he still lives well.

He would rather die of food poisoning than starve to death.

It's really miserable to starve to death, it's the kind of death that people will use as a joke when eating, it's too shameless.

But it seems quite embarrassing to eat raw potatoes and be poisoned......

No matter what! Why do you want to do so much! He wants to be the first warrior to eat raw potatoes!

Driven by hunger, Benjamin picked up a potato at hand and opened his mouth, ready to bite into it.

At this moment, a snapping sound suddenly sounded in the basement.

Benjamin was shocked, but the action of biting the potato had already been made, and he didn't have time to take it back, and the two teeth had already bitten the potato. With a sour feeling, he felt the roots of his teeth soften, and his jaw was about to dislocate.

Damn, it's so hard, I can't even bite it!

Benjamin, whose teeth were aching, hurriedly threw the potatoes in his hand away, turned around, and looked at the source of the strange noise just now.

I saw that on the iron door of the basement, a small opening was opened at this moment, and a pair of blue eyes appeared in that opening. The eyes were wide and stared at Benjamin, startling Benjamin.

Damn, what's going on?
