In order to prove that the cashew nut was not a devil fruit, Ning Xiao swallowed a cashew nut in front of the three old men. The performance of being safe and sound did not convince the three brothers of the Liu family, so the boy decided to stay overnight in this nameless villa. In the boy's mind, if he was alive the next day, he would be able to prove the innocence of cashew nuts!
Of course, Ning Xiao is not just to prove the innocence of cashew nuts, his ultimate goal is to rekindle the desire of the three old men to survive, whether it is drought or real devil fruits, it cannot be a reason for them to sit still. Moreover, Ning Xiao thought more that the other people in the village left because of the so-called Devil Fruit. Yes, the moment the boy learned that the cashew nuts were not devil fruits, he wanted to let those who had left their homes return to the village, and this was the fundamental solution to the problem of the survival of the three old people......
Of course, the premise that all this can be solved is that Li Linxi's words are not wrong, and the cause of the death of that family is not the Devil Fruit, but another reason. Otherwise, not to mention that Ning Xiao and Li Linxi's lives were worried, just the disappointed eyes of the three old men would make Ning Xiao sad to death...... Having said that, if you are going to die, you still wonder if others will be disappointed, and sure enough, Ning Xiao!
Nothing special happened in the afternoon, and after dinner, Ning Xiao and Li Linxi chatted in the room. The three Liu brothers sat around the stone table in the courtyard, quietly waiting for the verdict of fate. According to the process of the last time the person who consumed the Devil Fruit was in the house, the person who started eating the Devil Fruit in the middle of the night would die of foaming at the mouth.
The frost color of the stone steps is streamer, and the smile is red through the night. Idle to pick up the wick, candlelight figure small window.
There are two worlds inside and outside the room, not to mention the apprehension in the hearts of the three brothers of the Liu family outside the courtyard for the time being, Ning Xiao actually doesn't care so much about the so-called midnight terror. It's not just because of Li Linxi's introduction, although this gave Ning Xiao the initial and most important confidence, and now what makes Ning Xiao even more calm is the fact~~ Because Ning Xiao and Li Linxi were happy when they first found the devil fruit, they each ate a cashew nut with anxiety, and calculated the time, they ate the cashew nuts at dinner this time, and then the time of midnight was about the same, but Ning Xiao and Li Linxi were still safe and sound at the moment. So although the three old men outside the courtyard were still waiting for the results, Ning Xiao and Li Linxi in the room were unexpectedly leisurely.
Is it really going to be smooth sailing? How is it possible, remember the last sentence of the previous chapter? As the saying goes, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and tonight's unpredictable storms happen to happen in the middle of the night...... Let's focus on the three brothers sitting around the stone table, chatting lively.
"Seeing that it's about to have a child, that kid is chatting happily with his confidante, we can all see their shadows! It seems that he is really fine!" said Liu Shi, who was the most out-of-this.
"There's still a cup of tea before it's time. The Devil Fruit will get sick when I am a child, and I don't know if I should expect this kid to have a Devil Fruit poison attack when I am a child, or if I am safe and sound. The boss replied, the moonlight was bright, and he could vaguely see that the wrinkles on his face had become tangled into a beautiful chrysanthemum......
"If there is really nothing to do in Zishi, we will ask them to go to a nearby town to spread the news, so that the people who fled from the village before can come back, so that this is the long-term solution. Otherwise, even if it turns out that the Devil Fruit is not deadly, we should starve to death or starve. Liu Shan, the steady third child, obviously thought of the key to the problem that Ning Xiao thought of before.
The three brothers in this family have their own characteristics, the eldest is entangled and the fourth laughs, only the third brother has few words, but every sentence is on the point.
And the accident happened at this time!
The three brothers always felt that their eyes were bright, and each of their faces was illuminated white, and when they looked up, they happened to see the shadow of a lightning bolt flashing away. The faces of the three brothers changed, and they were all overjoyed. Then a thunderclap was heard, followed by a torrential downpour.
Regardless of their old bodies, no matter what their temperament was, the three Liu brothers raised their hands high, looked up to the sky and smiled, while drinking the rain that fell from the sky with their mouths open, and cheered in their mouths: "It's raining!!"
Ning Xiao and Li Linxi opened the bed in the wing, and the heavy rain was pouring down. The three old men cheered and jumped in the rain curtain like children, and the joy infected Ning Xiao, one of them turned out of the window and joined the three old men to play in the rain~ Li Linxi stood in front of the window, watching Ning Xiao and the three old men playing together, and couldn't help laughing, "This fool ......"
A rain represents the end of the drought, and the grain in the fields of the three brothers of the Liu family can be regarded as having landed. Coupled with the ingredients that Ning Xiao collected from the forest today, as well as the pheasants caught alive, it was enough for the three brothers of the Liu family to survive the winter. After the carnival, the three brothers of the Liu family changed into clean clothes and came to the wing room where Ning Xiao and Li Linxi lived to thank the two, "guests from afar bring the most needed rain", so that everyone has a reason to celebrate in the case of lack of food.
Ning Xiao used his internal strength to dry his clothes, and used the Qingping sword to take a section from the bluestone in front of the door and hollow it out into a stone pot. The five of them sat at the table and ate the hot pot with the stone pot that Ning Xiao had just dug up. The rain outside the window gradually became lighter, and it knocked on the stairs in front of the steps, making people feel more peaceful. The food in the house was in full swing, and all kinds of mountain delicacies were thrown into the stone pot, and when they were cooked, they didn't know whose five internal organs temple they would enter.
was eating heartily, but Liu Shi, the fourth elder of the Liu family, suddenly turned red in his eyes and whimpered and cried. Everyone hurriedly arranged for this old man, who had always been optimistic and happy, Li Linxi asked the reason, only to see the old man choked up and said: "I miss the second child T_T"
When the three brothers of the Liu family introduced themselves, they once said that their respective rankings were indeed missing a second brother. Ning Xiao thought it was the unspeakable secret of the three of them, so he didn't ask, although he knew that asking would make the three brothers even more sad, but the fire of gossip in his heart had already been ignited, how could he wait any longer......?
"Of course, my relationship with my second brother is the best!" Liu Shi said with some pride, and then a little frustrated, "Didn't you say before that there was a family that ate a devil fruit and died in the middle of the night?"
Ning Xiao and Li Linxi nodded in unison.
Liu Shi said in surprise: "Actually, the Devil Fruit was brought back by me!"
"What?" everyone present was surprised, including the eldest Liu Shi and the third Liu Shan......
"Actually, I've always felt guilty...... I always thought that the second brother was killed by me......" Liu Shi said with some sadness and some happiness, sad because of the death of the second brother, happy but proved his innocence. Although no outsiders know about this time, Liu Shi has been suffering from his heart all the time......
"The second child likes to eat mushrooms the most...... I still remember that day when their doll picked mushrooms for the first time and came back for his grandfather to eat...... "The eldest Liu replied with freshly cooked mushrooms and said with nostalgia.
Ning Xiao and Li Linxi glanced at each other, thoughtful.
"I think I may know the reason for the death of your second family......" Ning Xiao said with a heavy smile......
