Chapter 135: You've Been Lied
"Who?"
Mei Ben didn't have to wait long for the wooden door to open, and it was an old woman who opened it.
Originally, he was going to find some reason, but as the wooden door was opened, the heat of the charcoal fire mixed with the aroma of food rushed to the door.
The hunger caused by the injury made Mei Ben careless, and he pushed the old woman away and rushed straight into the house.
The size of the wooden house is not large, and there is no decoration in the house except for the fireplace that leans against the wall and emits light and heat.
Of course, Mei Ben, who had been carried away by hunger, was not in the mood to care about this, and his eyes were only on the table in the center of the wooden house, and the hot food on the table.
Apparently, when he arrived, the owner of the house was preparing to eat.
I saw that Mei Ben took off his helmet, lay on the table and began to devour it.
As food flowed down his throat and into his body, the Golden's efficient metabolism quickly converted it into heat, and he felt like he was alive again.
The hunger subsided, reason prevailed again, and it was then that he saw the owner of the cabin, the old woman.
By this time she had closed the wooden door and limped in.
Seeing the other party's faltering appearance, Umemoto breathed a sigh of relief.
Alone, old, and inconvenient in his legs, when these words are concentrated on the other person, he knows that the owner of the house in front of him cannot pose a threat to him, but on the contrary, this is an object that can be manipulated by him.
Thinking of this, Meben suddenly changed to an extremely gloomy expression, his eyes were cold and abnormal, like a wild beast staring at its prey, staring straight at the old woman in front of him.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, he grabbed his sword and pierced the wooden table, and the sharp blade then plunged into the wooden floor, until it was stuck in the hilt.
Seeing the old woman standing still, as if she was frightened and stupid, Mei Ben nodded with satisfaction in her heart.
Then, he continued to threaten in a deep voice:
"I'll stay here for a while, and then prepare food for me on time every day, or I'll kill you."
Having said that, in fact, Umemoto has not killed anyone, and even this time he has no intention of taking action.
However, he can make others think that he is murderous, which is the basic quality of being a liar.
Using sounds, movements, expressions, and environments to create an atmosphere to intimidate others is what Umemoto is best at.
In his deception career, I don't know how many people were scared off by his momentum, and he played this trick perfectly, and he never missed.
His bravado is almost perfect, of course, the downside is that he can't do it, and once he does, he will be exposed.
Thinking of the series of things that happened before by making an exception in the Church of Truth, Mei couldn't help but feel a little remorseful.
"If I hadn't done it at that time, the Holy Fool wouldn't have been able to see through me, and then I wouldn't have ended up like this."
Recalling the fierce expression of her employer's daughter, the wound on Meiben's chest ached faintly again.
"It's ridiculous, I've never cheated for so many years, and in the end I was deceived by my feelings, which is really stupid."
Although Mei Ben constantly reflects in his heart, emotional wounds cannot be healed by reason alone, and it takes time to let go of all this.
…………
Half a month has passed, and Mei Ben is also like a lone wolf who has been injured, licking his wounds in the wooden house for half a month.
Thanks to his youth and strength, the injury in his chest was almost healed.
Of course, this is only one aspect, if there is no adequate food as a supplement, no matter how good his foundation is, it will be useless.
"Lord Wolf Knight, the meal is ready, come and eat."
Hearing the greeting, Umben returned to the wooden house, and saw the old woman standing respectfully at the door to greet him, and he nodded with satisfaction.
Even he didn't expect his deception to be so useful to the other party.
Since the first time they met, he made a threat, and the old woman took care of him wholeheartedly for half a month, during which she did not even complain.
This performance of the other party made Mei Ben unprecedentedly confident in his deception.
"It's okay, the last fall is nothing, as long as I give me time, I'm sure I can make a comeback."
The inflated self-confidence made Meimoto feel good, but when he swept to the table, the good mood was gone.
I saw that there was only a steaming wooden bowl on the table, and inside the bowl was a green paste, which did not look delicious.
He picked a little bit with his fingers and put it in his mouth, and it was really bitter and astringent, making it difficult to swallow.
"Phew, you're going to let me eat this stuff?"
Mei Ben was furious and brutally swept the wooden bowl to the ground.
When the old woman saw that the paste was spilled on the ground, she said with a heartache:
"It's cooked with wild vegetables and chopped mushrooms, and it's edible."
With that, she limped over and lay on the ground struggling to handle the spilled food.
…………
Time flashed to the next day, and Memoto was awakened by hunger in his sleep.
Because yesterday's food was unpalatable, he lost his temper and fell asleep without eating anything.
Shrewd, he had more or less noticed that after more than half a month of consumption, the food in the wooden house should have been almost eaten.
Because of this, he only lost his temper at the time and did not order the old woman to do it again.
"Well, looks like it's time to get out of here."
After recognizing the reality, Mei Ben had the idea of running away.
He put on his armor and picked up his weapon, ready to leave.
Just as he was about to say goodbye without saying goodbye, an enticing smell of food wafted into his room.
This slowed his desire to leave, and he followed the scent to the main house, only to see that the table was full of hearty food, and it was still a rare piece of meat.
At the moment of the food, Mei Ben, who had been hungry all night, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Hmph, I was almost deceived by the old woman.
Yesterday I was still pretending to be pitiful, and I cheated you into taking out this food.
Sure enough, in this world, no matter how old or young, everyone is a liar. ”
Thinking of this, he looked around the wooden house, but unfortunately he found no trace of the old woman.
Umemoto didn't think much of it, just put down his helmet and weapon, and began to sit down at the table and eat.
The meal was unprecedentedly delicious, and before he knew it, he had eaten all the food on the table.
"Hiccup!"
Plum burped and stretched contentedly.
"Hey, it's delicious, if you have such delicious food in every meal, it's not impossible to stay in this place for a long time.
Hey, what is this. ”
After eating, Mei Ben realized that there was something pressed under the empty dinner plate, which was a piece of rough straw paper.
He opened it and saw that it was full of abbreviated runi script, which surprised him a little.
As a professional liar, Mei Ben is naturally not illiterate, and in order not to be exposed by others, he must also recognize words.
He was surprised that the old woman, who lived in the mountains in the mountains, could also read and write, and the note was obviously left by the other party.
With curiosity, he looked at the contents of the paper:
Child, I may not be able to take care of you anymore.
Sorry for the unpleasant name, but from the first time I saw you, I wanted to call you that.
Because you really look like my child, if he can grow up, he should be as old as you.
As a mother, I lost my dearest child, and the loss of my son made me close myself off and choose to live in seclusion away from people.
I used to think that I would never see my children again in my life, until I met you.
Even though I know it's almost impossible, I unconsciously pour out a mother's love on you.
When I saw your unhappy expression due to hunger, my heart ached like a knife.
There is nothing to eat at home, and as a mother, I can't turn a blind eye to your needs.
I, like all mothers in the world, can give everything for their children, so I have this last meal on the table.
Even though it's the last meal, I think it should satisfy you, and that's all I am as a mother.
By the time he read this, Mei Ben had already realized something, and his stomach suddenly turned upside down, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
He didn't understand why the other party could do this, as an orphan, he couldn't understand love, let alone such maternal love.
He endured the discomfort in his stomach and continued to read:
Don't be uncomfortable, child.
I have long lost my attachment to this world, and I feel so blessed to be able to do what a mother should do before I die.
The only thing I regret is that I can't call out my child's name in person anymore.
Mama, Mama, hopes to be reunited with you underground.
When the last sentence was read, Meben's hands trembled uncontrollably, and he muttered to himself:
"No, no, it can't be, she can't be my mother."
Although he kept denying it, he remembered very well that during the half month of getting along, he never said his name to the old woman at all.
As a liar, he usually uses a pseudonym, and there are very few people who know his name as Memoto.
When this was recognized, Memoto was completely devastated.
As an orphan, he had always longed to see his mother, but he didn't expect the price of reunion to be so great.
"Gross!"
Umemoto lay on the ground and desperately scratched his throat with his fingers, trying to spit his mother out again.
However, no matter how hard he tried, all he vomited was stomach acid.
The super metabolic ability of the Golden Clan has already digested everything he has eaten in his stomach.
However, Umemoto, who was nearly collapsing in the moonlight, was unaware of this.
Already frantic, he picked up the long sword next to the table, pointed the blade towards his abdomen, and stabbed it into it.
"Mom, I'll let you out!"
I saw that he held the hilt of his sword and slashed his abdomen on the spot, and the golden blood flowed like a waterfall along the surface of the black armor towards the ground.
Despite the pain of seppuku, the already crazy Memoto didn't care about it, and he kept looking for his mother in his womb.
Unfortunately, it was destined to be in vain, and there was nothing in his body except internal organs and blood.
As the blood continued to drain, Meimoto's breath became weaker and weaker.
As he lay dying, he seemed to see the figure of an old woman walking towards him.
He looked at the figure in front of him with a wistful expression, and asked with an extremely faint breath:
"Mom, is that you?
I was wrong, please forgive me. ”
Mei had thought that the woman in front of him was just a vision of him before he died, and he had not expected a shadow to respond to him.
However, the old woman who came to him suddenly crouched down, and she looked at the dying Meben with a playful look on her face......
