Chapter 35 The Empress Chapter Four: Right Child
Little Poluo's death...
OK, let's just pretend he's dead, at least Hei Jiu is happy to do so.
In short, his death proved one truth? That is:
It is a good thing to concentrate, but while you are concentrating, don’t ignore the surrounding environment.
Don't hit a pig on a tree like this negative textbook.
You should not eventually fall into the terrible abyss in order to pursue your prey.
Hei Jiu, who escaped the disaster, sat down on the spot and then returned quickly.
Compared to the deep deep in this dangerous forest, it was better to feel at ease in the neighborhood of that village.
On the way back, I accidentally picked up a "bone grass". This seemed to be a very precious medicinal material. If I sold it to a pharmacy, I could sell at least several silver coins.
Looking up, there was a fox girl cub in front of him searching for something.
It should have been because of the gaze behind him that the fox girl suddenly turned her head. At that moment, the two of them looked at each other.
Hei Jiu stared at the fox girl's fox ears and tail, thinking about what Bai Ling would look like if he had.
The fox girl stared at the bone grass in Heijiu's hands.
Silence for a moment.
Seeing that the other party was carrying a basket in his hand, Heijiu soon realized that this was a child who came to the forest to collect.
So, he threw the bone grass over directly.
The fox girl was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly caught it.
"Thank you, thank you..."
Her voice was very soft and she was a little scared.
Hei Jiu asked curiously:
"This place is quite dangerous. Why are you a girl here for such a place? Is your family short of money?"
The question was straightforward, and the girl didn't think much about it, and nodded subconsciously:
"Mom, mom wants money to treat the disease, so..."
"Where is Dad?"
"No, I don't know, I ran away when I was very young... Mom said that Dad sacrificed to protect us, but I knew that it was fake, she just didn't want to make me sad."
He clearly only asked where his father was, but the other party gave him more reasons.
Hei Jiu knew very well what this represents in psychology.
If a child doesn't want to pay attention to you and stay alert to you, then she won't tell you what you didn't ask for for no reason.
On the contrary, just because of an opportunity, it will be convenient to reveal a lot about her own living environment to you.
Then this person probably has no friends.
Due to the lack of suitable communication partners in daily life, it is inevitable that they will be lonely and uncomfortable.
Such people really want to get the care of others.
Therefore, they can easily tell strangers about the tragic experiences in their lives.
Adults may swallow bitter fruits alone and do not reveal them easily.
But children are far less powerful than adults’ spiritual endurance.
"Well...what are your name?"
Since he already has a clear mind, Hei Jiu naturally has his corresponding way of getting along.
"Right, right..."
"You'er? This name sounds so nice."
"Thank you, thank you!"
The little girl blushed a little, and it may be because she is rarely praised.
"Hello You'er, my name is Heijiu, I'm fleeing here... Well, a wandering businessman.
Just now, while I was here, I saw a village. Are you from that village?"
“Yes, yes!”
There is only one village nearby, so you are sure.
"Ahem, that's right, do you have a hotel in your village?"
"It doesn't seem to be there..."
Seeing that Hei Jiu seemed a little embarrassed, You'er hurriedly said:
"But if you don't mind, you can stay in my house, and there's just one free room in my house!"
"Uh, is this OK? Will Ling Mother..."
"It's okay, it's okay, I have the final say in my family, and my mother will agree.
Besides, you saved me just now, this is what I should have done.”
"Well... well, then I'll bother you some time."
"Yeah, it's okay!"
After saying that, he showed an innocent smile, as if he was happy that he had a new person to speak.
"By the way, right, is there an adventurer association in your village?"
"However, there are, but I'm not familiar with it. Big brother, why are you asking this?"
"Isn't this a catch up? I want to sell this pig, and at least I can exchange it for a lot of money."
After saying that, he walked towards the tiger pig next to him.
You'er nodded as if he had realized it:
"That's right, so much meat should be sold for a lot of money.
But it seems that the Adventurers Association does not charge pork, and there should be someone buying it in the vegetable market."
"You're wrong about this. The valuable thing on the tiger pig is not the meat, but on the contrary, it's his skin and this pair of giant teeth...
Hum? Why did you break one?"
"So that's the case. You'er doesn't understand this very much."
The index finger of the right hand was placed beside his mouth, looking innocent and thoughtful, and looked extremely cute.
Seeing that Hei Jiu had already stepped forward to decompose, You'er couldn't help but approach and looked curiously and asked:
"Have my brother done these things before? I feel so skilled."
"Yes, I was an adventurer for a while and then went into business."
"What race is my brother from? Why should I wear this black robe?"
"Well...humanlike, have you heard of it?"
"Humanlike...humanlike..."
You'er thought about it silently while repeatedly thinking about it, and finally, he remembered something:
"Is it the noble demon who looks exactly the same as humans, but has a lifespan of comparable to that of elves?"
"Well, is this kind of clan so powerful?"
"Of course!"
There was a light in your eyes.
"I heard from my mother that humanoids are a very mysterious demon race who likes to live in seclusion. They are very smart and rarely appear in front of the public.
The most important number is extremely rare, and there are even rumors that it has become extinct."
"Well...most of the things I said... should be correct. I usually stay in the mountains where no one is, so I don't know much about the sayings in this world.
Having said that, what year is it now, kid?"
"Iron Age 995, February 22."
"Nine Five..."
Heijiu's body trembled violently.
If what You'er said was true, then she had traveled forward for 25 years from the Iron Era 1020.
This is inevitably a bit outrageous.
So, my future goal is also very simple, that is, I have to find ways to travel back.
Hei Jiu doesn't want to start again in this era.
Because of this, Bai Ling's favorability that he finally got up is equivalent to his own blood.
Remove the pig's teeth, peel off the tiger's skin, and then tie a few pieces of meat with a rope made of pig tendons.
Wrap the big leaves.
Heijiu followed You'er toward the village.
"Isn't it hot for my brother to wear a robe? Why don't you take it off and let You'er help you get it."
"Thank you, but no need. Whether it is exposed or mistakenly regarded as a human being, this is not a good thing for me."
"Yeah, too."
