Chapter 16: The Awakened Fan Xi'er
As the sun set, more and more adventurers returned along the way, and they ganged up, looking at Luo Xue from a distance, talking and pointing in private. A man walked up to Luo Xue and asked with concern, "Hey, are you okay? What happened?"
"I met a clawed bear and got my life back. Luo Xue heard his words, and unconsciously tightened her cloth shirt in her hands, not only for fear of letting him see that she was obviously stained with blood but unharmed, but also to prevent the fruits on her body from being seen by him.
"Claw Bear, can you tell us where it is?" the adventurer asked Luo Xue when he heard the news, his eyes lit up.
"It's over there. He pointed behind him, and when the man heard this, he immediately shouted at his companion to change his course, and the others also heard his words, and their hearts were itching, and in an instant there were more than half of the people on the road back to the town.
"Whew, it's dangerous. Luo Xue beat a small drum in her heart, and when she saw them go away, she always felt that it was better not to tell them about the killing of the claw bear with the beaver beast, and she still hid it silently in her heart.
Saying hello to Brother Fanwang at the entrance of the town, and listening to Luo Xue's story of how he got out of danger, he was so angry that he shouted that he was about to rush out with his sword, but was stopped by Luo Xue and persuaded: "It's useless for you to go now, this will definitely be far away." ”
"By the way, you don't have any injuries on your body?" Fan Wang only noticed that Luo Xue's strength was not like what an injured person should have.
"I found a very precious herb on the road and healed my injuries. It's really a headache, Luo Xue scratched her head, looked at Fan Wang who was concerned in front of her, and could only tell a lie and barely round it back.
Enduring the guidance and strange gazes of the townspeople, Luo Xue, who was covered in bright red, ran to the door of Fan Ge and knocked on the wooden door that was about to decay.
"Knock knock......" After waiting for a while, the door creaked open, and it was still the familiar person in front of me.
"This fruit was given to you by Fan Xi'er, and she wants you to cheer up. Luo Xue straightened out her thoughts, as if she was reading a manuscript in front of a bunch of people, with a hint of nervousness in her tone.
He noticed a small fluffy doll placed in the room, the one given to him by Fan Xi'er, which seemed to have been carefully cared for. Sure enough, it still worked, Luo Xue thought with relief.
Fan Ge looked up at Luo Xue, who was bathed in blood, and didn't ask anything, his eyes seemed to be dead.
"Thank you......" is another simple two words, with a depressed tone and a gloomy face, as if you have no love for this world.
"Why don't you leave. This time, he watched Luo Xue stay at the door and not leave, his dry lips moved, and his tone couldn't help but be a little heavier.
"Fan Xi'er said that I must watch you finish eating before I can do it. Luo Xue had confidence this time, he felt that the fruit would definitely be able to cure the toxins in Fan Ge's body. "If it really had such a good effect, I would have ...... it a long time ago" Sensing Luo Xue's self-confidence, he smiled dryly and muttered to himself.
He didn't ask any questions, he directly ate the fruit in his hand in two bites, and then said to Luo Xue, "You can go." ”
Luo Xue silently retreated, and heard the sound of the door slowly closing behind her.
Although she did not believe in the God of Light, Luo Xue still folded her hands and prayed for the recovery of Fan Ge.
The rubble stirred up under your feet, the streets were hazy and hazy, and they were peaceful in the light of dusk. He felt the torn wound in his clothes and hurried his steps. Fan Xi'er had already returned home, the food on the table was still warm, and the two of them quietly looked at the outer door, waiting for Luo Xue's return,
"You're out of town again, we're all in a hurry when you're back so late!" Van Ke saw Luo Xue from a distance, he rushed out and saw a piece of blood-red clothes, and his tone couldn't help but be a little anxious.
Then he looked Luo Xue up and down carefully, checked the state of his body, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry, when I went to find the priest for blessings, I went to collect medicine by the way, but I ran into a clawed bear and barely came back alive. Luo Xue didn't describe the reason for going to see it, and directly said the result.
Treating her relatives, Luo Xue chose to tell the truth, but omitted the most critical part of it, in order not to let them worry.
"What the hell is going on?" Fan Ke stared at Luo Xue's eyes, Luo Xue's eyes wandered, and he saw Fan Xi'er eating silently on the side. He hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and only turned out to look at Grandpa Van Ke again, but at this moment, he only saw a deep concern in Van K's eyes.
"The truth is that I fought with the beaver beast against the clawed bear and seriously injured a ptarmigan. He knew that he couldn't hide it, so he reported it truthfully to Grandpa Van Ke in one breath.
According to Grandpa Vanke's temperament, he will definitely blame me, Luo Xue simply closed his eyes and greeted the upcoming education.
"You...... You're just too careless. A big warm hand rested lightly on his shoulder, transmitting his own temperature. "But well done......" "That scroll is used, there will be nothing to save you next time, and it can't be like this in the future!" A series of words of concern came into his ears, and the imaginary blame did not come.
"After all, everything has happened, but good luck doesn't happen a second time. Van Que sighed.
Having been recognized by Fanke, Luo Xue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. He suddenly thought of something, turned his head and said to Fan Xi'er, "Fan Xi'er, thank you." ”
"What?" Fan Xi'er, who was eating with her head bored, but stretched out one ear to listen carefully, suddenly heard Luo Xue pulling herself, and she couldn't react a little, so she asked instinctively.
"The amulet you gave was really useful and saved my life!"
"What's the use?" Before Fan Xi'er could speak, Fan Ke seemed to grasp something important and took the lead in asking. "At the end, as I tore open the scroll, the Wind Blade flew towards me, and it released a cover to protect me. Luo Xue touched her chest and put the drop pendant in her hand for Van Ke to watch.
The pendant is cold, it is no longer hot, and the originally clear inside has now become cloudy. However, the degree of turbidity seems to be gradually decreasing. "Strange, it wasn't meant to be like this. Luo Xue shook the pendant, but there was no reaction.
At the same time, Fanke's happy voice came out: "Xi'er, have you awakened too?"
Fan Xi'er nodded and hummed softly.
"Okay...... Okay, our mortal family is really a genius!"
"What kind of awakening? Isn't this the amulet of faith protection?" Luo Xue didn't understand at this time, he couldn't hold back his curiosity, and directly asked a question.
"The amulet that passes through the priest's hand only blesses the wearer's luck, but according to your account, the pendant inspires a special ability during battle, and a looming shield appears, which goes beyond luck. Unless ......"
It was Fan Xi'er who gave it a new ability, that is, Fan Xi'er gained awakening.
Whether it is the first ability or the second ability, as long as it is awakened, the awakened person can be vaguely perceived.
Once awakened, it is best for the awakened to go to a large institution that can detect the ability to determine the effect and danger level of the ability. For example, Overwatch City has a hundred ways to confirm the awakened ability, and even with sufficient various magical equipment and experience, it is possible to teach the awakened how to use this ability.
Unless it's the kind of ability that can be seen at a glance, it's best to go through a special test to understand your own ability.
"What kind of ability still needs to be tested in Overwatch. Fank paced around the room and thought, then sat down and said to the two of them, "In this case, Xi'er will follow Luo Xue to Watch City to take the test of the first ability level confirmation, and I will pick it up when the test is completed." During this time in the city, Luo Xue will take care of you. "What!?" Fan Xi'er's voice rose an octave, full of surprise. She looked at Luo Xue, and Luo Xue also looked at her stupidly.
After glancing at Luo Xue, Fan Xi'er's cheeks turned red: "Absolutely not...... "I know it's too sudden, and I don't feel comfortable going so far away for the two of you, but this shop needs to be taken care of. Van Ke stroked his beard and promised to give her a few days to think. "There's never been a better time. ”
Yes, I haven't been out of town for ten years, and when someone suddenly says they want to go to another city they've never been to, no one wants to. Am I not like that too, Luo Xue thought quietly.
......
Pounding the medicinal powder, the herbs that were picked before are made into finished products. He wiped the sweat from his head and straightened his tired waist. "Let's go take a shower. Luo Xue finished her work and returned to the back room.
In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door, someone went to open the door, and then there was the sound of conversation. Luo Xue was taking a bath, and her voice was blurry and inaudible.
"It was so comfortable to take a shower and rest. He was about to go back to the house when he saw Fan Xi'er standing at the door. "Big brother just came. Her voice was a little hoarse.
Luo Xue knew that she was talking about Fan Ge. "The beaver beast gave me two fruits, one of which I ate and was healed from my serious injuries, and the other one I gave him. Luo Xue said proudly. "Thank you. Tears rolled in Fan Xi'er's eyes, and she happily hugged Luo Xue and stopped talking.
"This ...... Don't thank me, the herb is meant to save people. Luo Xue was hugged tightly by her slender and warm body, and she was about to swallow the next words in her mouth, and she didn't know where Fan Xi'er got such a strong force, she was about to suffocate him.
Fan Xi'er also seemed to have discovered her mistake, she quickly let go of her hand, broke into a smile, and her red face with a short skirt was extremely cute. Luo Xue looked at her, her hands unconsciously moved, wanting to wipe away her tears.
Realizing that Luo Xue was looking at her, she turned her head to Luo Xue and said, "I will go to Watch City with you." ”
"Why did you change your mind so quickly?" As soon as Luo Xue asked, she began to regret why she had so many mouths, and she was about to be poisoned again.
"There's no reason......" The sound of the door softly closing came along with Fan Xi'er's voice.
Is this face changing faster? Luo Xue touched her head, she didn't have a fever, why are people a little abnormal today.
Either way, that's a good thing. He touched his head in satisfaction and returned to his room.
All this was seen by Van Ke, he touched his beard with satisfaction, and closed the door of the room.
