Chapter 3: Devil Fruits

Continuing from the book, Ning Xiao listened to the dispute between the three old men in the courtyard, recalled that he had not encountered rain once along the way, and frowned and thought about how long it had not rained in the village where he lived temporarily.

Of course, this can't be calculated, Ning Xiao is just a genius in martial arts, but he hasn't studied any astronomy and geography. Moreover, the boy had only arrived in the village last night, and he was not in the mood to watch the crops outside the village in the middle of the night. Well, I'm in a hurry to sleep in the same room with Li Linxi! But it doesn't matter, the so-called protagonist treatment is: when the protagonist has something that can't be solved, someone will naturally appear to help the protagonist solve the problem.

"There hasn't been a drop of rain for three months, so why don't you say the forest outside the town withers? Trees need water to grow, right?"

But it is strange to say, listening to their previous words, if it doesn't rain anymore and there is no food, their group of old men will have to go into the forest to hunt in desperation, because there are no young people in the town! What is the situation? The more Ning Xiao listened, the more curious he became.

Curiosity is an amazing thing, it can make people think, it can make people act, it can make people improve, and of course most of the time curiosity makes things worse...... In short, the fire of curiosity in Ning Xiao's heart had been ignited, and he was eager to go out and ask the ins and outs of the matter. Of course, the young man never thought of helping these poor old people find a way to survive, which had nothing to do with interests or justice, just for the grace of this night's acceptance. Of course, this is definitely not the reason for Ning Xiao to lick Li Linxi's palm...... This is deliberate......

The boy woke up wanting to yawn. It is estimated that the girl woke up one step ahead and was eavesdropping on the conversation outside, obviously curiosity also came up, and when she saw Ning Xiao wake up, she hurriedly covered his mouth. Then Ning Xiao never resisted, and the girl was in a trance when she listened to the conversation outside, so she forgot to take her hand away. The girl's hands were very sweet, which reminded Ning Xiao of the smell of the spring breeze blowing through the willows. Well, plus someone just woke up and didn't have breakfast...... Under the combined influence of many and other irresistible factors, the young man couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick the palm of Li Linxi's hand.

The girl seemed to be electrocuted, and screamed as she jerked her palm. At the same time, the arguments outside also stopped, and inside and outside the house, the young man and woman and the old man Long Zhong were silent. As the culprit of all this, Ning Xiao understood that she seemed to have gone too far, and looked at Li Linxi worriedly. Li Linxi's face was slightly red, and he glared at Ning with a fierce smile.

After a while, a familiar voice came from the courtyard, it was the old man who took in Ning Xiao and the two, "It's the young man and the girl who stayed overnight last night?"

The girl tidied up her clothes, glared at Ning Xiao again and pushed the door out, and at the same time, her face changed, and she put on a very familiar business smile from Ning Xiao, "Exactly." Thanks to the old gentleman, we avoided sleeping in the wilderness. It's just that I'm too tired, I overslept, and I was going to leave at dawn, but I accidentally disturbed it so far, and I really didn't want to go. ”

Li Linxi said as he looked at the people in the courtyard. In fact, there is nothing to look at, the situation in the courtyard is clear at a glance, there is no one else except for the three old men, one of them is dressed in old gray clothes, and his face is covered with traces of time, it is the old man who took in the two last night. The other two looks are also mediocre, nothing more than the difference in how many wrinkles there are, but they can also be called old men, but their faces are old-fashioned and their eyebrows are full of jumps.

At this time, Ning Xiao also came out of the room and said very familiarly: "Yes, yes, thanks to the kindness of the old man, the two of us have a place to stay." ”

The youngest of the three old men said: "Young people still have to be temperate, don't sleep until three poles in the sun every day before waking up~~" At the same time, he looked at Ning Xiao and Li Linxi with a narrow face, obviously misunderstanding something.

Ning Xiao and Li Linxi's faces were embarrassed, especially when the young man recalled the touch of the tip of Fang Cai's tongue, his heart fluttered, and his imagination fluttered. Fortunately, the three old men on the opposite side didn't pay attention to the expressions of the two, but the other two were a little annoyed because of the words of Meng Lang of the youngest one, and the old man who took in Ning Xiao said apologetically: "The younger brother is rude, it's really offended." ”

The boy and the girl waved their hands again and again, indicating that they didn't care. The old man continued: "Old man, my name is Liu A, this is my third brother Liu Shan, and this is my fourth brother Liu Shi. As he spoke, he pointed to the old man with an old-fashioned face and the old man who had joked before. Well, it's very surprising that the old-fashioned old man turned out to be the third child, and he thought he was the boss when he looked at his appearance. And the names of the three old Han brothers make people feel that there is no sincerity at all, I don't know if there is a second brother named Liu Er? But Ning Xiao was finally a little witty, and couldn't help but ask without opening his mouth, after all, in the face of an old man of this age, wouldn't it be ......

"We were in the room and heard from three old gentlemen that it hadn't rained here for three months. I don't know if there is anything the two of us can help?" Ning Xiao shifted the topic to what she was most interested in.

At the mention of this, the three old men had a bitter face, and even Liu Shi, the fourth who had been the most optimistic before, stopped joking. The old-fashioned Liu Shan said: "Just the two of you, what can you do for us? Count our fate, how many days can we live, you and this girl should get out of here quickly." ”

"Grandpa Liu Shan, if you have any difficulties, just say it, let's study and study together, maybe the matter will be solved?" Li Linxi skillfully opened the cute mode. Well, the trick used for the first time in history is a little rusty, but the effect is outstanding. The old-fashioned old man said that he couldn't bear it, and patiently explained: "Our small village, said to be a small village, has so many houses, in fact, now there are only three of us old men left. The crops outside the Zhuangzi were only enough for the three of us to eat, but there had been no rain for the past three months. At the moment, we don't think we'll survive this winter. ”

Liu A had been silent, but at this moment he suddenly said: "I see that you are carrying a sharp blade, and you think you are a person in the rivers and lakes, and your skills are extraordinary." Can you bother to go into the woods to hunt some prey, so that the three of us can save some rations?"

After listening to Liu A's words, the fourth Liu Shi suddenly became very anxious, and wanted to say something, but was glared at by the third Liu Shan, and had to swallow the words back into his stomach.

Ning Xiao noticed it, but he didn't care, it was just to hunt some game, not to go to the sky and the earth, and he was about to agree to come down when he patted his chest, and he went hunting in the forest without packing up his things. Before Ning Xiao could walk out of the courtyard gate, Liu Shi said with a flushed face: "I really can't hold it back! The young man can't go to the forest! The trees in the forest have devil fruits!!"

Then Ning Xiao went into the woods, ate the Devil Fruit, and returned to the village to find a pirate ship docked outside. Since then, the young knight has embarked on the road of pirates, and finally got onepeace and became the king of the pirates!
