Chapter Twenty-Four: A Day in Dai Village
"Qiuqiu, will you play with me after you've eaten?"
"Why do you only know how to eat, talk to me. ”
"Hee-hee, do you think I'm cute?"
......
The words were like magic sounds, and Diggie had never thought that there were so many creatures. It couldn't stand it anymore, and its big eyes shifted to the other side of its body with its back to her, silently protesting.
However, it underestimates the persistence of its dependents, or rather stubbornness.
Seeing that its eyes ran to the other side, Xili didn't get up and continued to squat on the ground, her little feet in black short leather boots rubbing small steps. Rubbing and rubbing moved to its eyes again, she chirped and held Diggie in her two small hands, pouted and said unhappily: "How can you be like this, Xili is not happy, Xili wants to play with you." ”
Alas~
Seeing that the food was almost finished, Diggie's big eyes circled around the surface of his body, staring directly at the annoying little man, caught in some kind of tangle - because he didn't know what 'play' was!
Diggie's impression is that his daily life is to find food, dry the rack, eat it, and find food again..... Except for finding a safe place to rest when I am particularly tired, I am basically running for a livelihood and working hard to become stronger.
It's this little request from Xili, it's hard to be simple.
What exactly is a pinch to play?
There was a big question mark echoing in his brain, and Diggie was distressed. If it weren't for the fact that this thing was its own contractual dependent, it would have wanted to eat her directly and restore the world to peace.
But that's not possible.
"Qiuqiu, do you want to play with me?" this sentence was simply poisonous, and Diggie, who couldn't stand it, glanced at the shriveled piece of meat. Fork it up with amethyst clusters and lift it high. And because he was caught, he could transmit sound when he had contact, so he said to her: "One.... Play together..."
The scene was awkward at this moment, staring at the big eyes, and Diggie thought that sharing food was already playing.
Ke Xili ate this set, shook off this piece of meat with a flick of her little hand, got up with her arms around it and said happily: "Then let's go, I'll take you to meet the kind uncles and aunts." Regardless of the helpless Diggie in her arms, she jumped up and down by herself, and sang nursery rhymes crisply:
"Lala, broken villages, a lot of people, peek-a-boo girls are caught....... Everyone smiled at her, the flames were bright, and the mushrooms looking for her mother were gone~"
And this morning the sun is shining (the abyss is eternal day), and this very dilapidated and simple Dai village is as lively as ever. On the natural abyssal gravel pavement (there is no road at all), villagers in shabby clothes are bustling around, doing such and such things.
The house behind them, like the house where Xili lived, was a low, square sand house. There is no beauty at all, as if it grows directly from the ground, and the left and right are scattered everywhere without planning. It seems that when it was built, it was in a hurry and did not plan to live for a long time.
Xiao Xili, who shook her head along the way and showed off her dependents to others, was quite popular in the village. No matter how busy the villagers themselves are, as soon as they see her, they will put down what they are doing, take the time to say hello to her, and listen to her affectionately.
"Hey, little Shiri. Why are you so happy today?" a group of guards in heavy full-body armor happened to run into her on patrol. The captain of the guard, who walked in the front, greeted her cordially. The thick helmet that wrapped around his entire head couldn't resist his enthusiastic loud voice.
"Hee-hee~" Xili didn't know how many times she lifted Diggie high, and said proudly: "Of course I'm happy, Xili has a new friend, you see how cute it is! Its name is Qiuqiu~"
As he spoke, he shook his little hands, and poor Diggie staggered with it, his big eyes full of haggardness. It only felt that these village guards had the same beautiful aura as Shiri, but it couldn't touch them at all.
After showing off happily for a while, Xiao Xili let it cling to her small chest and hugged it very cherishedly, her big eyes were full of adoration, and she asked the captain of the guard, "Uncle John, are you defending the village from being bullied by the devil?"
"Haha, you're right! Look at our armor, it's all good stuff issued by the coalition forces. With it, I can fight ten demons at once, isn't your Uncle John very powerful?" John triumphantly tapped the armor on his chest, banging.
"Hee-hee, Uncle John is amazing!"
"To call uncle, I'm not that old. Captain John teased happily, but responded to Ellie's funny grimace.
"Slightly~ Xili heard from others some time ago, Uncle John, you saw the demon and peed your pants. The big bad guy who braggarts, hee~"
Captain John was furious: "Which little rabbit slandered me like this? Little Xili, tell me his name..... Hey, don't go, don't go-wow~ vomit!"
He suddenly crouched on the ground, his hand covering the mouth of his helmet and unable to speak, black viscous liquid spilling from between his fingers. But including the companions behind him, everyone around him ignored him and looked like they were used to it.
......
Xi Li, who turned around early and covered her small mouth and snickered, couldn't see this scene. She was continuing to wander around the small and modest village, spreading the good news that she had a new little friend, Qiuqiu.
Not long after, I gradually walked to Xili near the center of the village, and saw an old man and a fat man talking to the door of a 'mansion' two sizes larger than the surrounding houses. Immediately, his eyes showed joy, and he ran and shouted to one of the kind-eyed old men in long robes: "Dangdangdang (accent)!Huhu~Whitebeard Village Elder Grandpa, Xili has brought you a surprise~"
"Haha, let's tell grandpa, what is the good news that makes our little Xili fly like a mage?" asked the village elder Gray with a long white beard and a smile on his face.
"That's it!" Poor Diggie, with his big eyes hanging down, moved to the other part of his body, and was once again held high by Xili with both hands: "Look! It's called Qiuqiu, it's my new best friend~"
"Not bad, nice to look at. ”
"Hee-hee, I think it's cute, too. Xili smiled sweetly.
Opposite the village chief, Gray, the short and fat man in fancy clothes was not happy to see this. Holding his mouth and pretending to be unhappy, he exaggeratedly said: "Wow~ Xili doesn't like fat uncle anymore." Uncle Fat used to give you a lot of candy, have you forgotten?"
Tilting her head, Xili's big orange eyes blinked, as if recalling the taste of candy, swallowing saliva and begging him: "Then fat uncle, do you still have candy?" I remember that sugar candy is sweet and delicious. ”
"Yes. The obese middle-aged man Meng Li smiled kindly, pointed to the inside of the door, and said to a shadow in the depths of the room: "See, it is the survival supply distributed to us by the coalition army, and there is your sugar candy in it." ”
"But my mother said that if you eat polysaccharides, your teeth will rot. Xili pouted, distressed.
The village elder Gray touched her little brain in distress, and doted: "Then you can go to Kailida, a scholar who lives in the small square." He's the only mage in our village, and he can build houses and tell a lot of good stories. ”
"And Xili, your diary, too, is with him. The fat man Mengli added in a coaxing tone from the village chief.
"Forget it, it's not fun to have a small square where it's dark, there's nothing on a wooden frame. Thinking of the closed house and the chapel, Xili said with a bitter face: "Teacher Kelida and the pastor's sister Petty, it seems that there is something going on. I went to play with them, and they didn't open the door. ”
Xi Li was a little depressed, but when she saw Diji in her arms, she immediately became happy again: "Hehe, I still have Qiuqiu! I'll go back to play with Qiuqiu, then I'll go back! Fat Uncle and Whitebeard Village Elder Grandpa, Saint Ann!"
"Be careful on the road. Old Gray and Monri, watching her running back, said in unison, black viscous liquid oozing from their feet.
