"Come and eat, it's already hot...... Xia Zuo, what are you looking at?" Fanny looked up, and Ben's enthusiastic tone suddenly cooled.
"Fanny, your eyes are so beautiful...... Xia Zuo praised him a little shamelessly, and both of them knew that he was not looking at his eyes.
"Humph!" Fanny snorted, as if she was really angry, and dropped her plate and walked straight upstairs.
But Xia Zuo noticed that Fanny's ears seemed to be red.
Walking to the dining table and sitting down, Xia Zuo ate everything like a storm, and then took it to the kitchen to clean the dishes, and after everything was cleaned up, Xia Zuo came to the second floor, in front of Fanny's room.
"Knock knock!"
"You can go, remember to close the door. Fanny's voice was cold and faint, as if she had lost her breath.
"That...... Fanny, can you give me the musket and dagger I brought......" Xia Zuo said through the door, of course he didn't want to tease Fanny, he just wanted to get those two things back, because Vivien was there in the morning, so Xia Zuo didn't go to get them.
Squeak!
The door opened, and Fanny stood in the door with a straight face, holding what Xia Zuo wanted.
"The alien mark inside has been removed by me, don't use it in front of people, just keep it for self-defense......" Fanny stuffed the thing into Xia Zuo's hand, and then slammed the door, Xia Zuo, who was just about to walk in, was hit by his nose, and immediately knelt down, covering his nose and arching on the ground for a while, before he got up with a musket and a dagger and two bullets, glanced at the door sadly, and turned away silently.
At noon the next day, in the broken wooden house, Xia Zuo, who was lying in bed and taking a nap, was awakened by a knock on the door.
As soon as the door was opened, Xia Zuo was surprised, but standing at the door was Miss Carey who was calling the wind and rain in the academy, dressed in a white shirt and suspender trousers, and a small gray and white felt hat, which looked quite neutral, in great contrast with the outfit on the street yesterday.
"Miss Carrey, what's wrong?" Xia Zuo scratched his head and smiled a little silly.
"Don't let me in?" said Kerry coldly.
"Please, please!" Xia Zuo immediately turned sideways and let Kerry in.
Although the wooden house is dilapidated, it is spotlessly cleaned by Xia Zuo, and the tables, chairs and benches are neatly placed.
may be subjectively disgusted with Xia Zuo, resulting in Xia Zuo's room no matter how tidy it is, Kerry can't look at it, she frowned after entering the door, and the originally clean chair has become dirty in her eyes.
Xia Zuo gently closed the door of the wooden house, stood at the door and looked at Kerry's back, and said softly: "Miss Kerry, you are looking for me......"
"Oh. Kerry responded, turned to look at Xia Zuo, and said coldly, "I'll send you something." ”
"Send me?what?" Xia Zuo smiled resignedly, a little incredulous.
"This ......" Kerry took out a small black bottle from his arms, shook it at Natsuzo, and said, "Give it to you!" After speaking, he put the bottle on the table next to him.
Kerry turned and walked to the back of the room, looking like he was looking at the room.
Xia Zuo walked to the table and picked up the bottle, a small black bottle, opaque, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
"What is this?" asked Natsuzo.
"A drug that can change a person's character, you are too weak, I am for your good, open and drink it. Kerry turned to look at Xia Zuo and said.
Xia Zuo's expression was puzzled, Kerry's sudden concern made him scratch his head, and the reason was also very lame, Xia Zuo had not heard of any drugs that could change people's personalities, and people's hearts were the most difficult to grasp, and it was impossible to change them with drugs.
Turning the cork open, Xia Zuo raised his hand and fanned the mouth of the bottle, and sniffed the air again, he smelled a sweet smell, vaguely with a little irritation.
"This ...... I can't drink it, you...... Don't hurt me. Xia Zuo was a little begging and afraid.
"I hurt you, do you have the value of making me harm?" Kerry sneered and pursed his lips disdainfully.
"This, I really can't drink it, Miss Carry, I ......" Natsuzo began to get panicked.
"Don't talk nonsense, you'll drink it if you want to......" Kerry interrupted impatiently.
"I can't ......," Natsuzo wanted to say something.
Kerry took a step forward suddenly, snatched the small bottle in Xia Zuo's hand in his hand, pinched Xia Zuo's mouth with one hand, and sent the medicine bottle to Xia Zuo's mouth with the other, wanting to forcibly pour it down.
"Drink, drink, drink if you want, what do you want......" Kerry scolded.
Boom!
The struggling Xia Zuo's arm "accidentally" touched the back of Kerry's neck, after a muffled sound, Kerry's eyes turned white, and his body suddenly became soft, Xia Zuo grabbed Kerry's arm, helped Kerry to the side of the bed and put it down, and then grabbed the small bottle in Kerry's hand and plugged the cork.
"Uncle, I want to harm my master. "Xia Zuo is depressed.
He grew up in a robber's den, he had seen all kinds of tricks, and he had a keen sense of smell, so he could easily identify the properties of an unfamiliar drug, just by the taste, the potion that Kerry gave him smelled sweet, but the more this way, the more problematic it was.
Moreover, just as he opened the door for Kerry, he felt a special smell outside the house, the outside of the wooden house was very open, and the smell could easily drift to the door with the wind, there were three people in total, two women and one man, if he guessed correctly, he knew all three people.
Red flags.
Xia Zuo is ready to tear his face, because he can't hide at all, what about the granddaughter of the legendary martial artist, it's a big deal to leave, with Xia Zuo's anti-reconnaissance ability, it is not difficult to escape from British City, the world is very large, and it is not only British City that can study.
Before leaving, Xia Zuo would not let Kerry go easily.
Kerry is forcing him to drink "poison", which is to kill people directly, and Xia Zuo, who was born in a bandit's den, doesn't know what it means to be forgiving and forgiving.
Quickly putting on the fat black robe, Xia Zuo used a knife to pry open the wooden plank on the ground in the center of the room, and took out a musket and a dagger wrapped in cloth from below, these two things he only put in yesterday, he thought that he would use them for a long time, but he didn't expect to take them out today.
Hang up the dagger, don't get the gun, Xia Zuo tightened the robe on his body, put on his hat, and then walked to the bed, pulled Kerry up on his shoulders, carried Kerry to the back window, pushed the window and jumped out of the stride, and closed the window with his hand.
Half-human-tall weeds grew behind Natsusa's hut, and a path was cut out in the middle that led to the forest in the back mountain.
The road was trodden by Xia Zuo, who had lived here for nearly a year, and would often take a book to the forest to read, where it was quieter and would never be disturbed.
The back hill of the Royal College of England, located on the north side of the college, is several times larger than the entire Royal College of England, in fact, the back hill does not belong to the Royal Academy, they only incorporate a small part of the academy, most of them are outside the academy.
Natsuzo ran into the forest with Kerry on his shoulder, getting faster and faster.
Ten minutes later, deep in the forest of the back mountain, Xia Zuo stopped and threw Kerry on the ground where fallen leaves were piled up.
The tall trees, with lush foliage, are the noon, the sun should be scorching, but in the forest, they don't feel a little heat, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the butterflies are flying, and the sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves on the ground where the fallen leaves are stacked, leaving dappled light and shadow, which is beautiful.
The back-mountain forest is a place with beautiful scenery, but because of the wild beasts, few students from the academy come here.
At the same time that Natsuzo brought Kerry into the forest, in a small forest in front of Natsusaki's house.
Dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, Hoth stood behind the tree, staring at Xia Sa's wooden house not far away, waiting quietly, behind Hoss, two women wearing fat robes and makeup but with fine makeup whispered, their eyes glancing at Hoth from time to time.
These two women Xia Zuo know, and it can even be said that they are not generally familiar, every inch of skin on their bodies Xia Zuo has touched it with his own hands, that's right, they are the ring girls who Xia Zuo used to stay overnight in the underground fighting arena, Ai Ji and Miya.
They can be said to be the people who know the black scorpion the most in the entire underground fighting arena, and Hoss brought them here just to test it, Xia Zuo, is it a black scorpion?
