Chapter 26: A Family of Four

"How can you say such a thing to a lady!?" If Miss Bison hadn't been afraid of attracting monsters hidden in the fog, she would have bitten to death the male god she had been obsessed with until a few seconds ago.

She didn't yell. Just raising her pitch a little is her greatest restraint.

Even so, two soybean-sized teardrops were already hanging in the corners of her eyes, and they would burst into tears at any time.

At that moment, Miss Bison glanced at her little boots as if she were a thief.

It's okay not to look at it, but when she looks at it, she's stupid.

The boots themselves were a little dirty due to walking on the ground covered with dust and fallen leaves, at least inside and outside the washroom, so they walked directly into the two crime scenes. She didn't know that there was a large bloody scab on her boots, and when she got a little closer, she immediately felt a fishy smell blowing over her face.

It's okay now, and the foot smell is solid on the spot.

Miss Bison immediately felt a breakdown: "No, I, I didn't notice it just now. I didn't mean to. ”

Now she had even more reason to take off her boots, and Anthony next to her cooperated to provide a replacement of women's loafers at home.

Mark said suddenly, "Wait! Do you want to wash our filthy boots with precious clean water? That's for drinking. Of course, if you take your shoes off and put them in the shoe closet, the blood may contaminate the other shoes. So I have a better idea. ”

With a flick of his wrist, he took out two bottles of [Water of Light], which is commonly known as holy water, although each church calls the water filled with the power of its own god holy water, but it is more widely recognized as the holy water produced by the Church of Light.

"When will it ......" the silly girl was a little dazed.

"When examining those three out-of-control Knight Cathar apprentices." Mark finished with a blank face, and turned to Anthony: "Let's purify our boots with holy water, and take off our shoes without it." I'm not used to showing my socks in front of strangers. ”

The silly girl blinked, she really didn't know that the male god had such strange habits, or habits. When she met Mark's warning gaze, her neck shrank slightly: "My feet stink too, so it's not good...... Contaminated your shoes too. ”

In another person, maybe her stubborn temper will come.

For Mark, the life-saving benefactor, she doesn't dare to be disobedient. The point is, when she saw that overly handsome face, all her anger disappeared.

"This ...... All right. "Anthony is not good at insisting.

Everyone has washed their boots with holy water, and it's hard to say that even the things washed with holy water will stain his ordinary house.

In front of Anthony, the two borrowed rags, dipped them in holy water, wiped all the outer walls of their boots once, and then followed them in a grand manner.

The dim light of the lantern illuminated the wooden house, which was obviously full of old feeling, and the "creaking" sound of stepping on the wooden planks as I walked down the aisle.

Mark noticed that every plank on the wall was sealed with plaster, and no light came out. Of course, it can also be understood as windproof.

The mountain wind is so strong that it is very uncomfortable to penetrate the house in winter.

Walk through a six- or seven-meter-long aisle to reach the dining room.

Illuminated by two kerosene lamps that had fallen from a low beam, Mark and his wife met Susie, the house's mistress, and her two children.

"She's Susie, and this is our precious Jason and Nisha." Anthony introduces the family.

It looks like a very ordinary home, a very ordinary family.

The entire kitchen and dining room is full of wooden furniture covered with smoke and oil stains, and there are no modern electrical appliances, only furnishings that seem to be still in the feudal era.

Jason was a little boy of about seven or eight years old, dressed in patched clothes and with a bunch of freckles on his face.

Nisha, who was very cute, was a little younger, about five or six years old, and her red dress had no patches, but it was obvious that the corners of the skirt were washed and faded. In her right hand, she held a rag doll sewn from miscellaneous cloth.

It looks a bit like a rag doll with strange stitching, which is actually a very common thing in the homes of middle- and lower-class people.

The middle-aged aunt Susie has a typical aunt face and bucket waist, tied a dirty apron, and her flaxen-colored hair is tied up and coiled up to the back of her head, but she is very enthusiastic with her children and salutes: "I'm sorry, the situation at home made the two of you laugh." There aren't many good things to greet the two of you here, except that it's relatively safe. ”

"Don't mind, we'll appreciate a little rest." Mark smiled back.

"Rest assured, our house is not in the main complex, and unless a strong light shines through, it is unlikely to attract the monster in the fog." Anthony interjected.

Susie said enthusiastically: "We're getting ready for dinner, do you want to be together?" It's not a top-notch dish, though. ”

"Where are you looking for food? Enough food in the dorm? ”

Susie gave an embarrassed expression, "We've been in this place for maybe a month, maybe longer. There wasn't much food in the dormitory, but luckily, Anthony risked his death yesterday to go to the cafeteria and found some meat in the pot that wasn't rotten. There are also some potatoes that are not peeled. ”

Anthony emphasized: "Professor Carter of the Department of Mysteries has discovered that pork can be preserved for a longer period of time after it is thoroughly wrapped in fat. I don't know why. Found it anyway. ”

When Mark heard this, he smiled: "Praise Professor Carter." But we just had enough to eat before we entered this world, and we didn't need it. If you don't mind, we'd like to go to your living room and take a break. ”

"Oh, okay, please take care of yourself." Anthony raised his hand and pointed in the opposite direction from the dining room door.

Miss Bison felt quite aggrieved, and she had the feeling that Mark had been madly targeting her since she entered the house. Mark may have eaten enough by noon, but she barely had anything to eat because of her stupid jaw dislocation, and now her stomach was rumbling with hunger.

Without waiting for her to say anything, Mark secretly tugged hard and led her out of the dining room.

Seeing the light of the kerosene lamp casting a long shadow in the dilapidated corridor, the one who grabbed the other party immediately turned around and became Miss Bison.

Entering the equally poorly furnished living room, sitting on the only wooden bench in the middle, Mark said coldly, "Didn't you notice that those two little children were hungry?" ”

"Ahh yes. Miss Bison then realized that the two children had just greeted them while staring at the meat and mashed potatoes on the table: "But, I ......."

"Give!" Mark handed over a large loaf of bread and a small kettle.

The stupid girl recognized that this was a common bread in the school cafeteria, and she didn't think much about it, and she couldn't care about her demeanor anymore, and gobbled it up.

Mark was a little speechless, since he crossed over, he was considered to have been cheated out of experience.

During the meal, a bunch of aristocratic daughters leaned over, all of them paid great attention to manners, and they had to swallow the food before they could say anything, and they could only say it after wiping their mouths.

This is a typical death to save face and suffer to live a sin.

He sneaked away the food and hid it, and turned back to add food to himself, which became almost instinctive.

Unexpectedly, it became a key strategic reserve.

The stupid girl eats bread and is afraid of making a fool of herself, so she simply turns her back to him.

Mark didn't have to hide himself when he didn't have to meet Byson's eyes, and he glanced at the dining room across the door with a heaviness that Miss Byson couldn't imagine.

He quickly retracted his gaze, took out another piece of bread, and nibbled on it himself.

After a while, Anthony came over after finishing the meal: "Sorry for keeping you two waiting." In my experience, in another twenty minutes or so, the world will enter the state of night. The monster will be more active, and I highly recommend that you both sleep in the house first, and talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Is it dangerous?" Mark asked.

"Probably, I've seen a group of survivors hiding in the formation at night, but the next morning, I saw their corpses." Anthony had a gloom on his face.

"Is there any trick to dodging that monster?"

"Probably just don't make too much noise. Neither does bright light. I don't know anything else. ”

"Okay, I'll disturb your family tonight."

"It's okay, we're all happy to be able to save people."

"Is there anything I need to pay attention to at night?" Mark asked.

"Well, there's a little attic on the second floor with my armor when I was a soldier. Maybe it's a hole in the roof of the attic, and it makes a strange crying sound at night. Please don't pay attention to the sound. Anthony commanded earnestly.

"Understood."

"So, is there anything we can do?" The little silly chick chimed in.

"If you can, can you play with my two children? They hadn't seen a survivor in a long time. ”

"Okay." Miss Bison had a warm smile on her face.

"Come in, kid." Anthony beckoned behind him.

Nissa timidly poked her head in from the door: "Brother and sister, which of you would like to play with me?" ”

"Let my sister come!" The little silly girl bumped up to it.

Nissa said softly, "Yes, yes! However, a family of four should be right. Can you help me find my brother to borrow his 'Mystery Warrior'? ”

"I'll go!" Mark smiled.

He walked a few steps to the dining room across the door and saw Jason in a daze with a small wooden figure. The wooden figure is very rough, that is, the degree to which several joints can move, and a hole is drilled in the palm of the wooden hand, and a small stick and a disc are put into it, which is considered a sword and shield.

"Jason......" Mark just spoke.

Jason turned his head: "You want my mysterious warrior again, right?" Yes, mystery should be exchanged for mystery. ”

Again?

Mark's heart touched slightly, he still maintained a gentle smile on his face, and his wrist flipped: "Look, is this okay?" The Eye of Light with mystical powers. ”

That's right, it's a pendant from the legless knight in the bathroom, and it has low-level exorcism powers, which is a common equipment for those who belong to the priesthood.

Jason smiled and nodded, "Yes." ”

Seeing Mark come back with the 'Mystery Warrior', Nissa immediately laughed: "My brother is stingy to death, and if he doesn't give him good things, he won't lend me the 'Mystery Warrior' every time." Brother, you are so nice, do you want to play together? ”

Mark smiled and pointed to her, Bison and the two dolls: "Isn't there a family of four?" When I add in, there are too many people. ”
