Chapter 49: Karin
Chapter Forty-Nine: Karin
Dad is a native of Hanlin City, and he has always traveled back and forth between nearby towns and cities to do some business. However, this business is too tiring, my father is getting older, and his body is gradually unbearable, and he plans to stop when this trip is over. After he went back this time, he planned to do some small business at home, and with the savings he had saved in the early years, he would be comfortable enough for the rest of his life. Daddy has a son, but he is quite promising, and he went to other cities, according to Daddy's words, he is satisfied enough in this life, and he can already enjoy Qingfu.
As soon as he heard that his father was from Hanlin City, Morey immediately asked about the city, especially the Demon Carving Guild. Although Dad doesn't know magic carving, of course he knows something about such a big guild in the city, and after chatting all afternoon, Morey has a general understanding of it.
It was starting to get dark, and Mader looked at the sky, "Let's rest here today." Seeing that the old man nodded, he jumped off his horse, tied the reins to the tree, and skillfully picked up the dry branches and raised the bonfire.
There are no villages or hotels on the road from Aige Town to Hanlin City, and because of the bandits in this area before, not many people dare to open hotels in such places. Everyone knew this, so they brought dry food and forage and slept in the mountains at night. This is not the Warcraft Forest, there is not so much danger, as long as you are careful, it is not a big problem. Made, I don't know how many times I've walked this path, but of course I'm very familiar with this set.
"Hehe, you clean up, I'll go and bring the dry food! This dry food is too cold to the stomach, it's better to warm it up!" Daddy saw Made's fire and went to the car to find dry food.
Madea fiddled with the firewood and said with a smile. "Fortunately, I met my dad this time, otherwise we would have trouble if we wanted to travel, alas, it's still my fault, I'm really sorry, little brother! I don't want the car money this time!"
"It's okay," Morey waved his hand. "I'm not in a hurry. ”
"Why hasn't Daddy come yet, does it take so long to get a dry ration?" Made, suddenly remembering that Daddy was coming, couldn't help but turn his face to look. "Oh, here, it seems that the dry food is put deeper, it's white dry food, the taste is not bad, but it's really not suitable if you don't boil it! Madea smiled, but looked at Daddy with a strange look. "Daddy's eyes seem to be glowing, huh?"
Morey looked over when he heard this, and said nonchalantly. "That's the light of the campfire, what's so strange about that!"
"But alas, it's all right!" said Made, he had made a campfire countless times, but something felt wrong today. He slapped his thigh and sighed that he was cranky.
Daddy brought a packet of white dry food and some jerky. The so-called 'white dry food' is actually some square rice cakes, mixed with white rice and other kinds of rice, steamed, mashed, compacted, and finally dried, maybe the shelf life is not as good as dry cakes, but as long as it is not damp, it can also be stored for a long time. If you add dried meat and vegetables to boil and eat, it is much better than nibbling on dry cakes. Although it is necessary to prepare dry food for this road, who wants to nibble on dry cakes and hard bread unless necessary.
"Hehe, old man, I don't know how to cook, please help me cook." Daddy gave the food to Made, and sat down to herself
Huh?
Morey was stunned for a moment, and a sense of disobedience suddenly rose in his heart - Daddy didn't seem to have this feeling when he used to speak
Morey thought about it, couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, and helped set up the pot to cook dry food. Daddy is daddy, beard is daddy, face is daddy, who else can it be!
"Karin, stop playing, come out to dinner!" to his surprise, Daddy suddenly shouted to the carriage.
"Okay. A little girl suddenly lifted the curtain of the car, poked her head out, and looked curiously at Morey and Made.
Seeing this little girl, not to mention Made, even Morey was a little surprised, he didn't expect that there was someone in the car before.
"Ah, Daddy, you still have a granddaughter? Madeh said in amazement.
"Hehe, the girl is afraid of seeing people, so she has been playing in the car by herself. Come, Karin, and say hello to your uncles. Daddy looked at Karin lovingly. "This is my granddaughter, his father is busy, and I have always carried him. ”
"Hello uncle!"
"Good! good girl!" said Made, who was also in his forties, and liked children.
The little girl looked to be twelve or thirteen years old, holding a bear puppet, and looked at Morey curiously. With long flaxen-colored hair, big eyes, and a sweet voice, Karin has a petite body and some less obvious freckles on her face, which is not pretty, but it is cute, giving people a quirky feeling. The doubts in Morey's heart were suddenly thrown out of the clouds, and he didn't bother to think about it, and he liked it a lot when he saw this little girl. "Don't call me uncle, I'm not yet twenty, just call my brother!"
"Good!" Karin didn't seem to be as scared of life as her father said, and she sat down next to him with a smile on Morey's kind face. "Hurry up and cook! Karin's stomach is going to be hungry!"
Seeing this, Dad made a joke. "Little Karin, aren't you afraid that he is a bad person, sitting so close to him, Daddy can't protect you. ”
"Hee-hee, big brother Wenwen is weak, and good-looking people are not good-looking!" Karin smiled indifferently.
"Haha!" Daddy stroked his beard with a smile. "The little brother is good-looking, so marry him in the future!"
"Grandpa!" Karin gave Daddy a huffed look. "In the future, people will marry, and they will marry a powerful person. I don't even have any skills, how can I protect Karin!" Karin said this, as if realizing something, and quickly stuck out her tongue at Morey apologetically. "Big brother, I didn't mean you!"
Morey couldn't help but smile bitterly, and Daddy smiled helplessly. "Tong Yan Wu Ji, Tong Yan Wu Ji, little brother, don't take it to heart!"
"Don't underestimate the little brother! He's got a great craft! Little brother, you're a carpenter, aren't you?" said Made, hugging Morey.
"Uh, sort of!"
Made's didn't hear that the little girl was actually looking forward to strength, not any 'ability' or anything like that. Morey was also a little self-deprecating, he didn't expect that he couldn't use his mental power, and now he can really only do carpenter work.
A large pot of pastry and meat porridge was quickly cooked, and the broth was soaked into some sticky square cakes, and the taste was unexpectedly good. Morey's food seems to have risen a little recently, and he only felt a little full after eating three bowls in a row, knowing that the big bowl can be used as a hat when he is buckled on his head. Fortunately, Dad seemed to have the foresight to cook quite a lot, Rao is Morey's appetite was great, and the amount of food for the four of them was just finished.
After eating, it was almost dark, Dad and Made, they were not young, and they had been used to it for decades, so they naturally felt sleepy at this time, so they found a random place to clean up, spread it out and fell asleep. Morey, however, was not sleepy at all, and sat down against a tree thinking about things.
Although Morey can't use his mental power now, his spirit is actually oversaturated, and as long as he has a book to read, he may not have a big problem not sleeping for two days. Surprisingly, Karin was not sleepy, probably because someone chatted with her so excited, she actually sat next to Morey and chatted.
This little girl was well-behaved and cute, and after chatting for a while, Morey found that she was very close to each other, and she was a little open to talking.
"Hehe, you ask me, what kind of story do I have? Morey couldn't help but smile bitterly, he couldn't even remember where he was from, and where could he tell what his hometown looked like. However, looking at Karin's sparkling eyes, Morey was embarrassed to refuse, so he started talking nonsense. "Oh, you ask me about my job? Alas, in fact, I have some ancestral property, and now I am doing some artisan work while collecting some rent to live, oh, yes! ”
As Morey spoke, his voice suddenly became desolate. "However, the world is sinister and evil, a few days ago, I was careless and lived in a wicked guest, this guy not only didn't pay the rent, but also kept torturing me in various ways, I couldn't drive away, and I didn't care about scolding, I can't help it, Karin, you must remember to be careful when you mix outside in the future, don't end up like your brother. ”
"Well, well, I don't think that tenant is as bad as you say, maybe it's just a little more bold, right? Big brother, you should be polite to him, maybe he won't torture you?" Karin said with a smile on her eyes.
"It's still bold, Karin, don't go for it, that guy is a villain, villain. Morey hugged his head in frustration. "If I'm being polite to it, I'm more likely going to get worse. ”
"That can't be helped, if you can't beat him, wouldn't it be good if he had the strength to drive him away!" Karin suddenly pouted and said.
"Ah, why are you so attached to it. Morey was stunned for a moment, and suddenly saw Karin's expression stiffen, and said with a grin. "Ah, it's nothing, Karin is just kidding!"
Morey smiled helplessly and asked suddenly. "Karin, why do you value strength so much, is it interesting for those swordsmen to fight and kill all day long?"
"Hee-hee, because" Karin's expression suddenly became a little strange. "Only when you have strength can you protect yourself and others. ”
"If you encounter an accident and can't even save your friend's life, even if you can escape on your own, what's the point of living?" The strangeness on Karin's face only appeared for a moment, and Morey had not even noticed it, and she had already cleverly concealed it in a playful smile. "In case the bandits come in a moment, big brother, can you protect Karin?"
"Hehe, even if I come, I can protect you!" said Morey without hesitation. "But little Karin, you're thinking too much! There are no more bandits on this road now!"
"Really?" Karin laughed suddenly.
