Chapter Seventy-Four: The Mysterious Stone House

"I'm sorry to bother you. ”

"Whereever, please take a seat. A white-bearded uncle brought four more wooden stools and chairs, each of which was different in shape and style.

Vane and his group sat down around a wooden table, and the white-bearded uncle brought out a large cut watermelon from the room for them to eat.

Xana didn't rush to eat, but asked, "Uncle Agilusi, did you make these stools? ”

Agilusi Pipican laughed, "yes. ”

"These beautiful little stools must be made for children, does Uncle have a lot of children living here?" asked Xana.

Wayne ate with watermelon water in his mouth, sprayed minced meat and said, "The house here is so small, how can there be many children." Stupid Xana!"

"Idiot, I think it's you who is stupid!" Xia Na scolded him secretly, and said in her heart: "I didn't even know the identity of this person and ate his things, in case it was a bad person, I didn't know if I sold you." ”

Seeing that none of the other three had eaten fruit except for Wayne and Hesminfen, Pipican said, "You must be suspicious of how I can live here, and wonder how there are so many stools, right?" ”

"No, no, no. Xana laughed dryly.

"I don't have any children, I live here alone, I just feel that it's quiet and no one bothers me," Pipikan said. I've lived here for a few years, and when I'm bored, I carve wood carvings and make handicrafts, and that's what you can do with your butts. As he spoke, he also ate a piece of watermelon on the table.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Xia Na smiled and said, "Uncle, don't mind, I haven't experienced the world yet, so I can't help it...... Be cautious. ”

Pipican waved and smiled, "It's okay, I'll be careful if I'm outside." That's why I'm living in seclusion. ”

Vane only then reacted: "Oh, Xana, you suspect that Uncle is trying to harm us!"

Shana punched him in the face and shouted, "Eat your watermelon, if you don't speak, you'll die!" It wasn't so embarrassing, but Vane's words made her even more uncomfortable.

"Teacher Crab, what are you thinking?" Emma couldn't help but wonder when she saw what Crab had been thinking about.

Still thinking about something, the crab shook his head: "Ah, it's nothing. I just think...... I felt that the name of Agilusi Pipican seemed to be heard somewhere, very familiar, and I couldn't remember it for a while. ”

Vane smiled: "Uncle can live in Datam Canyon, he must be a very powerful person, and it is not surprising that he is famous." Teacher, don't think about it if you can't think about it, in short, uncle won't be a bad person. ”

Xia Na said: "How do you know that Uncle is not a bad person?"

"Do you mean, do you think Uncle will harm us?" Vane asked rhetorically.

"No, it's not ......" Xana glanced at Pipican, lowered her head and said, "Forget it, I still don't speak." ”

Wayne patted his bulging belly, burped, and praised: "What a sweet watermelon, I really want to eat another one, but unfortunately I can't eat it." ”

Pipican smiled.

The crab asks Pipikhan, "Have you lived here for many years?"

Pipican thought for a moment and said, "It seems like it's been almost ten years, and I don't remember it very well." ”

"Ten years!" Xia Na looked at the surrounding wilderness and sighed, "It's not easy to live here for ten years. Uncle, haven't you left for the past ten years?"

Pi Pican said: "No, sometimes I go to Salamander City to buy something, but I haven't left here most of the time, and I remember that the last time I went to Salamander City seems to be three years ago." ”

"Three, three years ago!" the crowd sighed.

Emma asked, "Uncle, have you been living here alone for ten years?"

"No, it's not. Pipikan suddenly felt a little sad and said, "My wife and I have been living here, and she died of illness three years ago. ”

"I'm sorry. ”

Pipican smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's all in the past." ”

"Isn't the uncle going out again? I mean I'll always be living here?" Vane asked.

Pipikan nodded: "I'm tired of Shijie outside, and I want to stay with my wife's grave until I die." ”

"......" Everyone sighed in their hearts and stopped talking.

Little birds chirped in the woods and flew from tree to tree.

Pipican laughed, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I said something like that unknowingly." I know you're all students and teachers at Coolantin Academy, but the last time you were here was four years ago. ”

"Four years ago. The crowd looked at the crab.

The crab scratched his head and smiled, "Don't look at me, I don't know, I didn't teach at Coolantin four years ago. ”

Pipikkan stood up and sighed, "I haven't seen anyone in years, and no one has come to me in ten years. It's rare that you can find this place, and you haven't eaten yet, but try my craft. ”

"How embarrassing is that. The crab also got up and said.

Wayne hurriedly grabbed the teacher: "What's so embarrassing about this, the teacher hasn't eaten a decent meal for more than ten days." ”

Xia Na rubbed her head and couldn't stand it: "Really, I don't know the polite guy." ”

Emma smiled softly, and the others laughed too.

Sweet and delicious meals, hot fresh milk, I haven't eaten such a delicious thing for more than ten days, and everyone eats a lot. The happiest eater is still Vane, although eating watermelon makes him eat it well, but when he cooks, a few bubbles of urine turn the watermelon juice into waste water and clean the urine.

Pipikan rarely saw people, and when he saw that they were satisfied, he was very happy: "Oh, by the way, I have some home-brewed fruit wine, would you like to drink some of it?"

"Okay, I want to drink!" Vane was the first to cried.

Crab pressed Vane on the shoulder and said to Pipikan, "No need, Xiexie, it's not good to get drunk in Datam Canyon." ”

Pipikan said: "What's the matter, the nearby demonic beasts are afraid of me and don't dare to come over, haha, you just drink it, I'll go get the wine." ”

"This, that's not good......"

"What's not haode. Pipikan said: "I know about the exams of your academy, so it doesn't matter if you stay here for a day." ”,

Vane immediately said: "Yes, yes, I didn't say that I had to keep looking for a fight in the Datam survival test, I've been tired for so many days, so let's take a break." ”

"Uh-huh. Hesminfen agreed, not that he agreed with Vane's opinion, but he didn't want to see those terrible monsters.

The crab looked at the two female students, and seemed to have the intention of taking a day off, so she had to say: "Okay, anyway, it's you who take the survival test, and the power to decide how to act is yours, and I'm just with you." ”

"Yay!" Vane and Hesminffen jumped for joy.

Pipican said, "Okay, you two boys come and help me get the bar." ”

Hesminfen and Vane followed Pipican around to the bamboo grove behind the stone house, where there was a small cabin, and the smell of wine could be smelled from the distance. Hesminfen noticed a small mound a few meters from the wooden house and asked, "Uncle, that's ......."

"Well, my wife's grave. ”

The tomb was not very large, and the stone tombstone was covered with a layer of turquoise moss, which looked to be several years old. Wayne couldn't help but feel a little sad for this cheerful and enthusiastic uncle.

Vane and Hesminfen carried a barrel of fruit wine together, and Pipican took a wooden cup from the house and drank it with them.

"Hey!" Vane put down the big glass in his hand, he had already drunk several large glasses in a row, his face flushed, and he staggered and smiled: "Uncle, the wine you brew is so delicious." Sweet, like drinking juice. ”

The two girls drank a little more reservedly, but they also drank a lot of glasses, and before they knew it, they were drunk and fell to the ground.

The laughter in the woods faded away, leaving Pipikkan sitting alone. He put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at them in turn, and Zuihou picked up the two girls on the ground and walked into his stone house. After a minute or two, the crab suddenly sat up from the ground, looked at the open door of the stone house, picked up his weapon and quietly walked over.
