Chapter 33: Miraculous Talent
Wang Cui'e looked directly at Si Yaoqian and said, "Actually, I knew that Lao He would die, and I also knew that you and the person who killed Lao He were in the same group, and I also knew that it was you who knocked me out a few days ago." ”
Si Yaoqian seemed to be thundering to the top, and like a basin of ice water, when her head was poured down, she looked at Wang Cui'e in horror, as if she had seen a ghost.
How is this possible! Obviously, she was unconscious, and she fainted, and she never saw herself at all.
and the death of Scar Lao He, I only know that this is part of the plan, but I don't know who did it, how did it, how could she know everything?
Although Si Yaoqian had a stomach, she thought of what had happened in the past few days, especially when the villagers besieged Wang Cui'e in Gukou before, her every move, word and deed was weird.
Si Yaoqian felt that she might really have hit the evil spirit. She secretly used the Force, posed in a state that could attack at any time, glared at Wang Cui'e fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you? Is it some demon and evil thing that occupies her body?"
Wang Cui'e said calmly: "I am Wang Cui'e, not someone else, let alone a demon who likes to occupy people's bodies. I only have a first-level Force, not much stronger than ordinary people, you are a fourth-level Force, I can't hurt you, you don't have to be so nervous. ”
"I'm telling you this just to find out why you didn't kill me three days ago, and why did you see me today, and bring me here to help me understand this wish? ”
Si Yaoqian said softly: "I just found out in my conscience, I want to do a good deed, I don't want to kill you with one corpse and two lives." Kid ......"
When she saw Wang Cui'e's puzzled look, she immediately frowned and said, "You don't know, you're pregnant?"
Wang Cui'e lowered her head, looked at her stomach, shook her head and said, "I don't know." ”
"How is that possible? You...... How long has it been since you've been here?"
"Three months...... It's been almost four months. ”
Si Yaoqian was suddenly angry, "You haven't been here for so long, you didn't expect that you were pregnant with a child?"
Wang Cui'e shook her head and said, "I used to often, but I didn't come for months." ”
Si Yaoqian was speechless for a moment, and then understood the reason. Wang Cui'e is severely malnourished, which causes irregular menstruation, and sometimes does not come for several months. So she didn't pay attention to it when she didn't come for a long time this time.
"You're pregnant. Si Yaoqian said solemnly: "Trust me." I've already taken your pulse when I knocked you out before. ”
Wang Cui'e didn't have a reaction like surprise or joy, she was expressionless, reached out and touched her stomach, and said, "This kid is really not the right time to come." ”
Si Yaoqian suddenly became nervous, "What do you want to do? I know you don't want this child, but the child is innocent, don't hurt the child. ”
Wang Cui'e shook her head, "I won't hurt her." It's just that at the moment, I can't even support myself, let alone get pregnant and have a baby. ”
Si Yaoqian held Wang Cui'e's hand and said resolutely: "Don't worry, I will help you." ”
Wang Cui'e said in surprise: "You are not related to me, why do you want to help me?"
Si Yaoqian's eyes were slightly red, and she said, "Because, I also came from a hard life." When I was very young, my father fell ill and died, and my mother took me to remarry. I'm luckier than you, though. My stepfather was an honest man who could endure hardships and was willing to work. ”
"He and his mother gave birth to two more children, and we are a family of five, although it is a little harder, but very happy. I thought I would live a dull life for the rest of my life. However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes. ”
"When I was seven years old, the orcs rioted. We were living in a small village not far from the forest. After the orc riot, our family had to flee from home. During the flight, I was separated from my parents. ”
"I was alone, wandering for days, thirsty, hungry and tired. I was deceived by human traffickers with a chestnut flour cake. He wanted to kidnap me to the city and sell me to the kiln. Fortunately, I was resourceful and had the strength to eat and be full. Moreover, at that time, I had already awakened the first-level Force, and I finally escaped. ”
"But I ran in the opposite direction, and in order to avoid the orcs, I panicked, fell into the trap laid by the outcasts, and was almost killed and eaten by the hungry outcasts. Thanks to Master, who happened to pass by, he rescued me in time. ”
"Master took me all the way to find my family, but I found nothing. Master couldn't bear to leave me alone, so he took me to his home and taught me how to do more good deeds, so that I could have the opportunity to help those who were suffering like me. ”
Si Yaoqian's eyes were red, tears were rolling in her eyes, she looked at Wang Cui'e and said emotionally: "What you said is right, originally according to the employer's request, I should have killed you." But you have a child in your belly, how can I bear to do it?"
"What's more, what happened to you reminds me, of my own tragic experience in childhood, and of Master's teachings to me. So, I decided to help you. This is also a fate between me and you, and the child in your belly. ”
Wang Cui'e said in a low voice: "Thank you for your kindness." But you can help me for a while, but you can't help me for a lifetime. Can you help me this time, but what about the future? My life is really hopeless, and I can live one day at a time. I ......"
"Are you still nostalgic for this place and don't want to leave?"
Wang Cui'e shook her head, "Of course not. It's just that I'm a weak woman, where can I go? At least there's one more place here, a place to shelter from the wind and rain, I can dig some wild vegetables to satisfy my hunger, and occasionally people look at me pitiful, and can give me a bite to eat, and leave here, how should I live?"
"You come with me. Si Yaoqian said firmly: "You see, just this carriage has far exceeded the entire net worth of a well-off family." I have a house and a shop in Shangyang City, and I also have a house in Dannan City, and I also have a deposit of 100,000 gold coins. These real estate certificates and deposit certificates are in the car, don't believe me to show you. Not to mention feeding you one, it's no problem to feed ten or eight more people. ”
Wang Cui'e shook her head, "I believe in you." But you've helped me a lot, and I can't trouble you anymore. ”
"No hassle, no hassle at all. As the saying goes, save people to the end, send Buddha to the west. If I leave you behind now, won't it be tantamount to harming you, and won't all the efforts I have made in the past be wasted? Besides, I'm just alone, and I'm very lonely on weekdays, and I can talk to me with you. ”
"How can that be, I can't let you feed for nothing. ”
"How do you say you feed for nothing? Do you cook, do laundry, do housework?"
Wang Cui'e nodded.
"That's not it. Usually I have to hire someone to help me with the housework. You cook for me, wash clothes, and do housework, and I will take care of your food, your housing, and your wages. These are not handouts from me, but what you deserve for your own hard work. Come with me, that's it. ”
Wang Cui'e hesitated for a long time before nodding, "Okay." You'll be my boss from now on. ”
Si Yaoqian held Wang Cui'e's hand and said happily, "That's right." ”
She paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "How did you know that Lao He would die?"
Speaking of Scar Lao He, Wang Cui'e's expression was a little gloomy, and she was silent for a moment and said: "Actually, when I was promoted to the first-level Force, I awakened a talent - a hunch, which will perceive in advance the major events that will happen to the people around me in the future. Before Lao He went out last time, I had a premonition that his life would be in danger and advised him not to go, but he didn't listen. ”
There is such a talent against the sky! Si Yaoqian was shocked.
This is simply a humanoid good luck indicator. As long as she keeps Wang Cui'e by her side, and when she goes on a mission in the future, she will first ask her if she is auspicious or vicious, wouldn't she be able to seek good fortune and avoid evil?
Si Yaoqian's happy mouth couldn't close.
Then, she asked, "Does your talent get stronger as the Force level increases?"
Wang Cui'e shook her head, "I don't know. My talent is so poor that I've only been promoted to the first level of the Force now. However, I guess it will get stronger as you level up. ”
Si Yaoqian smiled from ear to ear, "It's okay, it's okay." You first take care of your body and take care of the fetus and have children. More on that later. I'll get you something to eat when we get to the cabin in a moment, and then we'll have a good night's rest, and we'll go to Dannan City tomorrow." ”
At night, deep in the Savage Ridge, a small island of hard soil surrounded by swamps.
A bonfire is burning. Shen Shuming was carefully turning the iron-maned wild boar inserted in a wooden stick, and at the same time using a small brush to smear condiments on the wild boar.
The condiment liquid mixed with the roasted grease dripped onto the fire with a crisp "crackling" sound, and the enticing aroma wafted far and wide, making your stomach salivate.
Wang Xiaotian was closing his eyes, carefully reminiscing about the process of killing beasts and foreign beasts with sword intent along the way, and striving to improve his perception of sword intent.
Shen Shuming was roasting, this third-level beast, the arrow-maned wild boar, was his biggest harvest today. The other hunted beasts, because they could not be carried, were simply thrown away.
The black dog lay at his feet, struggling to gnaw on a large bone. This heel bone is the thigh bone that was removed from the right hind leg of the arrow-bristled boar.
Zhou Ziheng took the map, carefully recalled the terrain and terrain observed along the way, repeatedly compared the map, and then used a pen to supplement the missing details on the map, and corrected some inaccuracies on the map by the way.
Cao Lianyou had woken up and was held in Wu Ling'er's arms, but her spirit was still tired. Only when the little monkey runs in front of her and she reaches out to pet the little monkey will she show a smiling face.
Today, the group walked hundreds of kilometers. At this rate, in about two days, you will be able to reach the vicinity of the Earthwalking Dragon's lair.
However, along the way, Wang Xiaotian felt a little wrong. Scar Lao He's Force Level should not exceed Level 3. Not to mention the poisonous insects and beasts all over the swamp, just on the road, there may be at any time, strange beasts, arrow-maned wild boars, and one-horned forest snakes, which can kill Scar Lao He.
Did he really come to the swamp and walk out unscathed? Or was this map really drawn by him?
Wang Xiaotian believed that Zhou Ziheng must have doubts about this in his heart, otherwise he would not have repeatedly compared the map.
"The meat is grilled. Shen Shuming said, lifted the roasted wild boar from the fire, put it on the side of the shelf that had already been set up with branches, and then used a dagger to quickly cut the meat into strips and put it on a plate.
Wang Xiaotian hurriedly got up and went over to help deliver meat.
The first set was given to Zhou Ziheng, the second set was given to Cao Lianyou, and the third set was given to Wu Ling'er. These three plates are all from the back, two ribs, cut from the best strips of meat and ribs, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, the most delicious.
Then, Shen Shuming directly cut off a hind leg for Wang Xiaotian, put it on a plate, and said, "You are growing your body, you need to eat more." ”
Then, he took off one of his front legs, held it directly in his hand, and gnawed it without worrying about it, and after a few bites, his mouth was full of oil.
Wang Xiaotian did not hold the pork leg and gnaw it directly like Shen Shuming, but used a dagger to first remove the pork leg meat, divide it into small pieces, sprinkle it with salt and condiments and stir evenly, so that the meat can fully absorb the flavor and then eat it slowly.
In fact, when he lived alone before, Wang Xiaotian also ate boldly like Shen Shuming. However, now in front of the two beauties, you always have to pay attention to the image, right?
