Chapter Seventy-Two: The Inedible Octopus
"It's not a small place."
Bai Qiming opened the trunk and helped Yayi buy some gifts.
Lian Yi took a box of clothes and said with a smile: "It's just that the homestead is relatively large, since my grandfather's generation, the family can't afford to raise such a big yard, this world is not a long-lasting wealth for ordinary people, and it may be lost at any time." ”
"You can see it."
Lian Yi smiled and didn't answer.
Mei Yi nodded, which she felt deeply.
From being loved by everyone and unattainable by everyone, the daughter of the ME Club has become a pitiful insect who is isolated, and it took less than a week.
But fortunately, I met Kiana.,Later, I "picked up" Bronya.,St. Freya School Park and Jizi teacher.,Fu Hua class leader,School head of them.,I'm very lucky.。
In the courtyard, a little girl hid behind the old courtyard gate with half her body, and her face was full of uncontrollable smiles.
My brother came back just a week away, and he has delicious snacks again, and he hasn't finished the last time he brought them back.
In addition to happiness and a little panic on his little face, the happiness is that his brother is back, and the panic is that there are two strangers around him.
When Lian Yi saw his sister, he beckoned and shouted, "Lian Xiaoying, what are you looking at, you haven't come to help my brother and sister." ”
The little girl who heard her brother's shout jumped up and ran over and hugged Lian Yi half of her body.
"Brother, why did you come back so soon!"
Lian Yi touched his sister's head lovingly, and said, "Quick, say hello to my brother and sister." ”
Lian Xiaoying was well-behaved and cute, greeted Bai Qiming and Yayi respectively, and enthusiastically helped to get things, and ran back to the gate again.
"That's my sister Lian Xiaoying, nine years old this year, studying in the primary school in the village, and she is the first in every exam, but she is smart."
Speaking of his sister, Lian Yi's face was full of pride, forgetting that he was just a teenager who dropped out of school and worked.
Lian Yi walked in front and said, "My grandmother has bad legs and feet, but the house is quite clean, and I can clean up a clean room today, I hope you don't dislike it." ”
Bai Qiming and Mei Yi looked at each other and nodded, and even the scarlet jade pill in his pocket clasped his arms with both hands and nodded decently.
They didn't find any traces of Honkai energy on Lian Xiaoying's body.
This means that even susceptibility to "Honkai disease" is likely to be on a very small scale, and it is almost imperceptible to Honkai.
The two of them followed into the courtyard, and the outermost three rooms were clean, the floor was spotless, and the basket tools used to catch the sea were neatly placed under the windows.
A white-haired grandmother looking at the vicissitudes of life just walked out of the door.
"Lian Yi, Xiaoying said that there are guests, how can you bring your friends here, the house is a mess."
"It's okay, Grandma." Mei Yi stepped forward first and hugged the old man, "You don't need to come out on purpose, just have Lian Yi here." ”
The old man glanced at Mei Yi and didn't look away for a while, "What a handsome girl." ”
Mei Yi didn't understand a little, Bai Qiming translated in a whisper, her face immediately turned red, and she hurriedly said no.
Entering the main room, there was no clutter in the room at all, on the contrary, it was very clean, and there was an open homework book on the table, and even Xiaoying should have been studying just now.
After entering the house, the old man hurriedly greeted Bai Qiming and the others, said something like poor hospitality, and asked Lian Yi to quickly pour water.
The old man took his grandson's arm and turned his back again, and secretly handed him two hundred yuan rolled together, and asked him to take two friends to the city for a good meal.
Bai Qiming didn't say anything in his eyes, of course he couldn't let Lian Yi spend the money.
After a while, Lian Xiaoying came from another room and handed the candy to Mei Yi and Bai Qiming.
This is the candy that her brother brings to her every time she comes home, and she is only willing to eat a few a day, and now she is very generous to Bai Qiming and the two of them.
Mei Yi was a little restrained, saying no, and kept prevaricating, Bai Qiming unceremoniously tore open the candy and threw it in his mouth.
Bai Qiming got up and said to Mei Yi: "I'll go find Lian Yi, you are here to chat with grandma and the little girl." ”
Mei Yi is a girl after all, and it is easier to communicate with the elderly and children.
He wanted to see the environment, and there was something he hadn't discovered before.
Although women's resistance to Honkai energy is better, and they are also in a small-scale Honkai, and it is normal for even Xiaoying to be fine, but the grandmother is old, how can there be no abnormality.
It stands to reason that grandma's resistance is not even as good as that of Lian Yi, but Lian Yi has "honkai disease", which is very strange.
Walking out of the room again, Bai Qiming was afraid that his perception would be wrong, so he turned on the small Honkai Energy Detection Instrument and performed a double test.
Lian Yi Bai Qiming, who was sorting things out, went out to see and shouted: "Brother Bai, why did you come out, you go to rest first after driving all the way, and I'll get you and Sister Yayi some cold jellyfish, using my honey sauce of chili peppers, which tastes better than the snack street in the town." ”
"It's okay, I'll just take a look." Bai Qiming looked at the dilapidated house in the backyard and said: "Such a big yard, it's a good place to explore with your friends, hide and seek." ”
"Haha, that's right." Lian Yi said: "When I was a child, I often played with the children in the village here, and now even Xiaoying, a little girl, is okay and runs inside. ”
Bai Qiming's eyes looked at the remote doorway, and there were some old things on the side of the doorway, some broken tiles and the like.
Children from poor families have no money to buy toys, so they generally use local materials and play with themselves.
"Huh?"
In the midst of a pile of tiles and moss-covered iron, a clean, unmarked hilt was among them.
"You don't suggest I look at the 'baby' that you and your sister found in rummaging, right?"
Lian Yi smiled and said: "It's all played by children, you can watch it if you want, but Brother Bai, be careful, in case there are bacteria and bugs or something......"
"It's fine."
Bai Qiming walked to the doorway and picked out the hilt of his sword from the rags.
It was a broken sword, with some rust in the gap, and the only remaining ten-centimeter sword body was engraved with a line of small characters.
"The waves no longer return to the sea."
While picking up the broken sword, Bai Qiming felt a very slight, but very familiar force.
Lian Yi, who was busy on the side, glanced back and said with a smile: "Last weekend, Xiaoying was looking for it, but she encountered a few octopuses, and she was so scared that she didn't dare to come out of it, but I found it by listening to the cry."
Strange to say, a few small octopuses actually climbed away from the beach and didn't die here, thanks to the broken sword, after they died, they became like plastic, and they couldn't eat it. ”
"What did you say?"
Bai Qiming stood up suddenly with the broken sword in his hand, the broken sword, the octopus, the plastic, he had a hunch, it was the Honkai Beast.
"Huh?" Lian Yi was taken aback by Bai Qiming's reaction, "Just, I found an octopus in the abandoned side courtyard......"
"Take me to see it!"
The octopus that Lian Yi said may not be an octopus, and it is likely to be infected by the Honkai energy, similar to the intermediate stage of the transformation of humans into the dead, and the mutation is not completed.
