Chapter 0059 - Bet on Trust
Another day passed, and early this morning, Nini came to the animal shed again with a bamboo basket, but this time she did not leave immediately, but hesitated for a while, and then walked towards the two.
"Why did you decide to let us go?"
Seeing Nini take out the key, Tianchi couldn't help but ask casually.
"It's too dangerous here, you ...... Let's go. ”
Tianchi could feel that Nini's body was obviously stiff when she spoke, as if she was struggling with whether to let Tianchi and the others leave.
As the chains were loosened, Tianchi was also freed, but he didn't leave immediately, but moved his wrist a little, and then sat there and looked at Nini for a long time.
As for the rain seat, seeing that Tianchi did not leave, naturally there was no intention of moving, and he still relied on Tianchi to pretend to sleep.
"Why don't you go?"
Seeing that the chain was loosened but still did not leave, Nini, who was standing there, immediately asked.
"It's nothing, I'm used to living, with a cute little girl like you delivering food every day, of course I can't afford to leave immediately after such a good life. ”
Tianchi smiled noncommittally, but still didn't get up and leave.
"Anyway, it's up to you, as long as you're not afraid of danger......"
Nini turned around as she spoke, ready to push open the door and leave.
"Hey, your name is Nini, right? My name is Tianchi, and the name next to me is Yuzuo, if you can, can you be friends with us?"
Seeing that Nini was leaving, Tianchi stopped the other party at this time and asked.
"Friends...... Friend?!I ...... I, I'm not a rare friend, I've always been alone, I don't need ...... I don't need friends or anything, huh......"
As soon as Tianchi's words fell, Nini froze in place, and after a long time, she suddenly clenched her fists, turned around and lowered her head to Tianchi and said.
It's just that this tone, no matter how you listen to it, there is a nervousness and expectation mixed in it.
"Well, in that case, can we ask you for a favor? ”
Looking at the obviously insincere little little man in front of him, Tianchi couldn't help but smile bitterly in the end.
"You need ...... Need me?!...... But I'm just a kid, how can I help you?"
Hearing that she was being needed, Nini's eyes lit up visibly, but she still took a few steps back nervously and asked.
"I'll talk about that later, but I'd like to ask those people last night why they said you don't have much time, and we might be able to do you a little bit in return for inviting you to help us. ”
Tianchi stood up and walked in front of Nini and said with a smile.
"It's none of your business...... It's up to you to leave or not. ”
It's just that to Tianchi's surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Nini's face suddenly change greatly, but she quickly twisted her head to the side, turned around stubbornly, and then said casually, and pushed the door and left.
"Hehe, it's really a distressing little guy......"
Seeing Nini leaving, Yuzuo, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly stood up, walked behind Tianchi and muttered.
"yes, that's why people are getting more and more concerned. ”
Tianchi also sighed, and then said thoughtfully.
"How's that? Do you want to leave?"
Rain asked casually, noncommittal.
"Why are you leaving? Except for the rain leaking from where you live, why do you eat well and sleep well?"
Tianchi laughed twice, then sat down and said.
Seeing this, Yuzuo didn't say anything more, just sat silently beside Tianchi, and then closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep again.
And where the two of them couldn't see, at this time, there was a pair of smart eyes staring at this place through the crack in the window, seeing that Tianchi really didn't leave, the owner of the pair of eyes seemed to be relieved, but soon began to become entangled again, and didn't seem to want them to stay.
"Hey, Yuza, what the hell do you think this little girl is? I don't think she's very old, but why is her strength so high?"
Tianchi asked with a puzzled look at Yuzuo, who was pretending to sleep.
"Oh, haven't you noticed yet? This girl is not actually a human being, strictly speaking, she should be regarded as a high-level demon beast white fox, a child born from a combination with humans, and most of her father is a white fox, so she inherited her strength and beauty, if her mother is a white fox, then at most she will only inherit beauty. ”
Yuza yawned, still with a lazy face.
I don't know why, sleeping by Tianchi, I always feel warm, like holding a warm water bag in winter, very enjoyable.
"No wonder it's called a wild seed or something. ”
Tianchi also seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but laugh bitterly when he spoke.
"Don't you think it's strange? Even so, no one should be willing to do such an excessive thing to such a delicate child, don't you? But don't you think it's a little wrong to be scolded last night, not to mention being scolded, and actually snatching her prey in front of her? And as the daughter of a high-level demon beast, the white fox, don't you feel surprised?"
Yuza sat upright, then tilted his head to stare at Tianchi, and then asked a series of questions.
"Of course I think it's strange, but this little one seems to have been hit by something, and he still won't say anything more to us......"
Tianchi also frowned slightly and muttered to himself.
"Hmm...... Why don't I ask. ”
Yuzuo stood up as he spoke, and without waiting for Tianchi to answer, he walked towards the grass hut.
Seeing this, Tianchi didn't say anything, but poured on the hay alone to prepare to rest.
Originally, the matter of creating the star map should be put first, but this kid ...... It's a bit reassuring......
I don't know how long it took, Tianchi was woken up in a daze, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a thoughtful rain seat sitting beside him.
"What's wrong? Something's wrong?"
Tianchi sat up and couldn't help asking.
"Nothing, the only thing I know is that the child's father seems to have done something bad to the village, but I don't know what it is. ”
Rain shook his head and said.
"Huh...... If the high-level demon fox were to be detrimental to such a small village, this village would have turned into ashes a long time ago, and they would still have a chance to bully the descendants of the demon fox. ”
Tianchi smiled speechlessly, and then said casually.
"You too...... Do you think so?"
This time, without waiting for Yuza to answer, another voice sounded at the door of the animal shed.
The two turned their heads to look, but saw Nini looking at Tianchi with a look of hope.
"What's there to think about this, your village, I have come all the way, every person here is full of food and clothing, if there is a disaster in a short time, how can you live so well?"
Tianchi glanced at Nini and said.
If it had happened in recent years, the village would not have recovered so well, and this is all the obvious truth.
"Actually, I don't know exactly what happened, I just know that my father robbed the village's divine vein and hid it on the north mountain......"
Nini also seemed to let go a little, and when she said this, she walked into the beast shed, and then sat on the opposite side of the Tianchi with her legs crossed.
"Kitayama is that direction?"
Without waiting for Nini to finish speaking, the rain seat sitting on the side couldn't help but point in one direction and ask.
"yes, that's it. ”
Nini nodded.
This time it's Tianchi's turn to be unexpected, Yuzuo will definitely not be untargeted, she will ask like this, then the only possibility is that this creation star map is also related to this North Mountain.
Maybe the so-called divine vein that was snatched by the white fox was this Creation Star Map, and thinking of Tianchi here, I couldn't help but start to feel a little tricky.
"Do you know what the so-called divine veins look like?"
After a while, Tianchi continued to ask Nini.
"I don't know, but I'm sure my father was definitely not that kind of person, because he said ...... He said that it was enough to have my mother and me in this life, and he loved the village where he lived, even if my mother died because of the exclusion of the people in the village, my father never hated this place, and even often warned me not to bully the weak because I had great strength...... How could such a person do something bad to the village?!"
Nini spoke quickly and seemed very excited.
"Don't be like this, we didn't disbelieve you, oh yes, I still don't understand something, it's the question I asked you before, why do people here say your time is running out?"
It seemed that he didn't want this little guy to become self-contained again because he was too excited, so Tianchi hurriedly shifted the topic to the previous question to ease the current atmosphere.
"I ...... Because my father said that he only occupied the Divine Pulse for three years, and after three years, the Divine Pulse would be liberated again, and now it will be a few days away, but the Divine Pulse still shows no sign of being liberated, so ...... So the people in the village planned to use me to blackmail my father into compromise......"
Nini's face couldn't help but become more and more gloomy when she said the end.
"Since you're not willing to use force to hurt these people, why don't you get out of here?"
After Nini finished speaking, Yuza couldn't help but ask casually.
"How can I go? Because my mother built this house, and my father said he would come back, so I had to wait for my father to come back. ”
Nini hurriedly shook her head and said.
"I see, by the way, those people last night seemed to be very afraid of the village chief, does your village chief here take good care of you?"
Tianchi nodded and asked.
"The village chief can't say that he takes care of me very much, but he will help me talk when something happens, but most likely he is afraid that my father will really come back, and it will be difficult to explain it when the time comes. ”
Nini sat there thinking for a moment before explaining.
"Well, that can't be helped, Nini...... Don't you wonder what happened to your father, or don't you want to ask him why he did it?"
Tianchi thought for a moment, then suddenly got up and asked.
"I ...... I do not know. ”
Nini hesitated for a moment, then said with a blank face.
"I'm a few years older than you, but I've been abandoned for more than a decade, much like you, but...... I ended up going to my birthplace and taking the courage to put my trust in my parents!"
Tianchi smiled and stretched out a hand to stare at Nini and said.
And Nini looked at Tianchi's outstretched hand, but she never dared to stretch out her little hand in response, until Yuzuo also stood up and stood side by side with Tianchi, also stretching out a hand......
Nini then put a pair of small hands in the palms of the two of them.
"Daddy...... Mommy ......"
This slightly dazed call seemed to be hidden in my heart for a long, long time, and for a moment, Tianchi and Yuzuo were like their parents......
