Chapter 9 Home

Back at the farm, Masamu struggled to climb off his horse, his left hand, which had been bitten by the Blue Flame Wolf, swollen like a fluffy loaf of bread. He was bitten by creatures in another world, and at the moment he didn't know if he would be infected with any virus. Looking at such a left hand, Shinsei prays that there is also a rabies vaccine in this world. Maesung dragged his tired body into the room and sat down in a fluffy sheep-wool chair to make him feel comfortable.

Lilisa rode to the town to call a doctor for Makoto and the surviving sheep, and it would be a while before they returned, and now only Makoung and Alice were left alone in the house. Lilisa seemed to whisper a few words to Alice before leaving, and now Alice looked at Makoto with a very strange look, her eyes were full of curiosity, surprise, and disbelief. In order to avoid Alice's eyes, Masei lowered his head and took a sip of Lilisa's brewed fruit tea.

"Listen to Mom say you're my dad." Alice suddenly burst out of nowhere.

Burst...... This sentence frightened Zhencheng so much that he sprayed fruit tea all over the ground. Although Lilisa had discussed it with him before, he was still not mentally prepared to enter the role of Dad.

"Uh, yes." Maseung wiped his mouth in embarrassment and looked at the blonde girl in front of him. He wanted to hug Alice in front of him like a father now, but when it came time to act, he was silent. Masae understands Alice and understands that she longs for her father's love. Maseung was an orphan who grew up without parents, and he didn't get much real love growing up in an orphanage and foster home. But it was precisely because of this that he could not understand how to be a father. He knows that he needs to give Alice fatherly love now, but he has lacked father's love and mother's love since he was a child, and he can't give him the emotions that he didn't have in the first place.

Maseung and Alice looked at each other, and the atmosphere between the two became more and more cramped.

"That... Can you attend my next parent-teacher conference? Alice took the initiative to break the deadlock, and Nuno asked.

"When is your next parent-teacher conference?" Masei quickly picked up the topic.

"Just this month." Alice replied, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"Okay, I promise you." I really calculated the time, and I didn't have anything else to do anyway, so I nodded and agreed.

"Great!!" Alice jumped up happily, and she rushed over and hugged Mako.

Feeling the immature girl in her arms, the incomparable young vitality seems to be infecting Zhencheng. Sure enough, children are the source of hope, Zhencheng couldn't help but sigh. After the two of them hugged, they seemed to let down their guards and started talking.

"How did you and your mother meet?" "Have you kissed each other?" "I'm in the Knight Academy now, and the teacher said I'm very talented, and when I grow up, I want to be a great knight and take my mother to live in the city." Alice's chatterbox opened, and Masamu unknowingly played with Alice for an afternoon, until in the evening, Lilisa arrived with the doctor.

Shinseung lay calmly in a woolen chair, and the doctor walked back and forth beside him, stitching up his wounds. Although the pain in his body was very painful, looking at Lilisa and Alice's concerned eyes, the corners of Makoto's mouth couldn't help but rise. Unexpectedly, when he arrived in another world, Zhencheng found a sense of home. He looked up and stared blankly at the flickering flames in the oil lamp. Time passed quickly, and the doctor had already bandaged Makoto's wounds, and then said goodbye to Lilisa and the others. Outside, the veterinarian also finished his job and left. After a tiring day, everyone was tired.

Boom! A sudden knock on the door woke up Zhencheng, who was still in a daze. Masei quickly got up and looked towards the door, only to see a dark-skinned and obese man swaggering into the house. After the man entered the room, he sat down on the sofa in the hall and rested, ignoring Mako. This person must be at least 30 years old, who is he? Makoto's mind was full of questions. After a while, Lilisa rushed from the kitchen, and Alice slipped out of the door and ran outside.

"Oh, Captain Hogg, you're here." Lilisa screamed affectionately, and then began to pour water and tea for the fat man. Seeing Lilisa, who has a fiery personality, compliment this man so much, is shocked. And this man also enjoyed Lilisa's service as if it were a matter of course. It took a while for the obese man to observe the truth in the corner of the dining table.

"Boy, who are you?" The man questioned Shinsei in a foul voice. Makoto looked at the fat man. The guy looked even darker in the light.

"He is the man I invited to be my guest, and today he helped me drive away the thorny wolves that attacked the sheep, for which he was wounded." Lilisa explained to the man, Hogg, and she glanced at Alice outside, making sure she wouldn't hear the words.

"Helped us drive away the thorny wolves? Why did he do it? Hogg smiled contemptuously and asked, "How are the sheep doing?" How many died? ”

"Well, I thought there were a lot of wild wolves this time, and the sheep were attacked by 6, 4 died, and 2 were slightly injured." Liliza cautiously answered Hogg's question.

"What! Those brutes have killed so many of my sheep! Hearing this, Hogg instantly burst into a rage, and he yelled at Lilisa, "You and the shepherd are rice buckets!" The only thing I've given you is that you can't even do it! Do you know how much a Grans purebred sheep can sell for in the outside market?! One can sell for at least 10 gold coins! ”

"There are just too many of them this time, and there's a Blue Flame Wolf leading the way. And I don't know why, this time the Blue Flame Wolf actually took the initiative to attack me, if it weren't for Zhencheng coming to help, I'm afraid Alice and I would not be able to come back today. Lilisa looked down and whispered in pleading.

"Haha, if this guy wasn't there? What is your relationship with this guy and why did he help you? I'm afraid there's something unsightly about you two! The more Hogg spoke, the more angry he became, and he got up and tried to beat Lilisa.

"We don't! Why do you care about her! At that moment, Masamu stood up from his wool chair. He couldn't continue to watch Lilisa being bullied.

"What's the matter with you! Get out of here! Hogg snarled at Mako. But Maseung stood still at the moment, looking at Hogg with anger in his eyes. "What? Do you need me to call a patrol guard?! Seeing that Makoto was still in place, Hogg became even more annoyed. Hogg is the captain of the garrison in Harlan Town, and he also gave this flock to Lilisa, so it can be said that he is Lilisa's boss. Over the years, he has been watching Lilisa's beauty, but Lilisa protects herself very well, and he has never had a suitable opportunity.

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder in the house was getting stronger and stronger, Lilisa on the side pulled him out of the house by pulling him out of the house, who was standing in place. After walking out of the room, Lilisha suddenly grabbed Mako's right hand, feeling the temperature from Lilisa's soft palm, and Makoto instantly blushed.

"Thank you for helping me today!" Lilisa looked at Makoto with a thin layer of tears in her moving eyes. She shoved a bag of coins into Makoto's hand and said, "This is a little gold coin, you take it." Follow the road ahead and you'll get to the town, and you get out of here with Alice. It's a bit of a long way, but it's definitely better than staying here. ”

"And what do you do?" Faced with this situation, Makoto's nervousness returned, and he pushed away the money bag in Lilisa's hand.

"It's none of your business. You don't have to worry about that, it's my family affair that makes you smile. Let's go. Lilisa looked at Makoto and reluctantly made an apologetic smile, she shoved the money bag into Makoto's hand, and reflexively entered the house. Then Hogg's roar rang out again in the room.

Maseung stood outside the door and clenched his fists tightly. Lilisa's last smile was so pitiful. But Lilisa was right, it wasn't something he could handle. The darkness of the human system is understood, and it is also true in another world. Lilisa, who was not afraid of the bull-headed troll, was so afraid of this man that she might not be able to do her own thing. Eventually, Masei walked in the direction of leaving the farm. As he left, he saw little Alice sitting alone on the wooden pier where she was chopping wood, bathed in the setting sun, her hands over her ears, and her expression gloomy. Obviously, she didn't want any more quarrels in the house.

Seeing this scene, Zhencheng struggled very much in his heart. The sky gradually darkened, and in the open grassland at night, the cold wind was howling, and Makoto fastened all the buttons on his clothes. In addition to the physical coldness, the negative will also constantly swept over Shinshi. In the original world, do you want to continue to be submissive when you come to this world? Makomi fell into deep self-doubt. Damn, I hate that I don't have a high level of system development in my body, and I originally thought that I could summon an inexhaustible and powerful army in this world, but now I can't even summon a single soldier. Makoto hated himself for being so incompetent today, and at the same time, he also regretted a little that he had handed over the summoned troops to Levi a few days ago.

Wait, is there no other way but force itself? Maseung looked at the money bag in his hand, and suddenly remembered that a few days ago, the gray-robed city lord had given him a bigger money bag, and the money bag was still in the item bag on the side of the brown horse. Thinking of this, Masei quickly ran towards the brown-haired horse. Alice, who was on the side, watched in confusion as Macheng galloped to the horse, rummaged through the bag, and then ran into the house with a large money bag.

Masei slammed open the door and saw Hogg about to do something to Lilisa. He threw the money bag in front of Hogg with all his might, and said, "The dead and wounded sheep are mine, and I bought them!" ”

Hogg was stunned for a moment, he picked up the money bag and put it in his hand, checked it, and opened it again to take a look. Hogg, who dealt with money a lot, quickly estimated that there were nearly 70 gold coins in his purse, which was more than enough to make up for his losses. And what made him a little jealous was that this batch of gold coins was printed with the big seal of the Zhong family, the city lord of Zhong City, which was a reward. Being able to take this reward money shows that the kid in front of him has a relationship with the Zhong family.

"Humph!" Hogg snorted coldly, he was not a fool, and he would not provoke the Zhong family if he provoked anyone, so this matter had to be stopped. Hogg picked up the money bag with a gloomy face and walked out of the house. Before leaving, he suddenly turned his head and sneered, "Lilisa, you really should 'thank' this young man!" Use your... ”

Syllable! Before Hogg could finish speaking, he received a solid slap in the face, which was given to Lilisa. Hogg covered his face and glared angrily. But in the next second, he and Zhencheng's eyes met, and he also saw the plan to do it in Zhencheng's eyes. After all, the money has been taken, and he will no longer be able to make trouble. Thinking of this, Hogg's arrogance was half gone, and he took the money and rode on his horse, and galloped into the distance in the twilight.

After Hogg walked away, Lilisa could no longer suppress the grievances in her heart, and she threw herself into Zhencheng's arms and cried. Shinsei hugged Lilisa and stroked her silky blonde hair with his hand. Lilisa closed her eyes and enjoyed it, although Makoto looked young, Lilisa could feel that Makoto's heart was very mature. This is one of the reasons why she chose to pretend to be Alice's father.

"Phew, that scoundrel is finally gone." Little Alice trotted home, her face flushed with cold and clear snot on her nose.

Seeing Alice come in, both Makoto and Lilisa sensitively let go of each other.

"Bah, such a big person is still so shy." Little Alice teased that at the moment she looked like a very old woman.

"What do you say! Come here, I'll wipe your nose! A thin blush appeared on Lilisa's face, and she scolded Alice in a coquettish voice.

"No! I want to see Mom and Dad kiss! Alice continued to be mischievous, dodging nimbly, refusing to wipe the snot off her face.

"Come here! Snot is going to run down to the ground! Lilisa was even more shy by little Alice's words, and this time her whole face turned red.

"Haha" Masei on the side looked at them with a smile and felt the warm atmosphere. Then he began to think about what had happened today, remembering Alice's sad face sitting in the sunset, and Lilisa, who was violently subjected but powerless to resist, and Masai had a plan in his heart, and he would go to the entrance checkpoint of Bell City tomorrow, and he would go to Levi to get his troops back. This is the first time that Shinsei has found something he is determined to do well after coming to another world. This matter is to protect Lilisa and little Alice's mother and daughter.
