After the Legend Chapter 39: Growing
Awujia sat behind the counter of her small shop, carefully placed the four breads, put the lid back on, looked at the sparse pedestrians outside, and sighed.
Her husband Kuwa emerged from the kitchen, patted the flour on his apron, and said, "I just made four more loaves, but the store ran out of flour, why don't you buy some? back?"
"What's the use of buying it?" Awujia gave him a white look and pointed to the wooden tray that held the four breads, "These few may not be sold. Now there is not even a passing merchant. , foreigners are not allowed to come, and it’s not a festival, who in the village will spend money to buy these things to eat?”
Kuwa was robbed by his wife, and he was a little embarrassed: "What do you know? This is all for the purpose of catching spies. If the spies continue to do bad things, our country will suffer. We must obey the king's orders. "
"Didn't the king just die? Who knows who gave the order?" Awujia refuted it impatiently, and seeing her husband's eyes widened to say something, he blocked his words first. , "I don't have a business right now. You should go to your mother's house and bring your daughter back. I haven't seen the child for a few days."
Kuwa tore off his apron and walked outside the store, only to see a little girl with gray-black hair and green eyes standing timidly in front of the counter, leaning her feet to look inside, and whispered, "Uncle and aunt...I... I want to... buy bread..."
He felt that the little girl was rude, and immediately became vigilant: "Whose child are you? Why have I never seen you? Could it be a spy?"
The little girl shrank her head and seemed a little scared. When Awujia saw her, she thought of her daughter and couldn't help but soften her heart: "Husband! What are you talking about?! How could such a small child be Spy? Don't scare people." After that, he smiled gently at the little girl: "Whose daughter are you? Auntie doesn't seem to have seen you in the village. Are you not a local? Who brought you here? "
The little girl is still timid: "My uncle and aunt brought me here. My aunt's family is here. I...I came to buy bread, and my aunt said it was to entertain guests..."
"It must be Juma from Farrar's family. I only heard from her mother yesterday that Juma is going to take her man back to her parents' house to visit relatives. I didn't expect to come back today." Awujia happily rushed her husband Leave, "Go quickly, I heard that the Zhuma man's family is very rich. When you pick up the child, let's go to see her together and see the world."
Kuwa listened, muttered something and went away, Awujia quickly wrapped four pieces of bread in paper, handed it to the little girl, and said, "There are four more in the kitchen, and soon It's ready, wait for a while." She was very happy to be able to sell these unsalable high-priced products, and she also stuffed a candy bar that the children in the village like the most for the little girl: "Eat it, this is It was sent to you by Auntie. Come and tell Auntie, do you eat meat every day in your family? What does your Auntie Zhuma usually do?"
The little girl licked the candy bar, but just smiled and shook her head. Awujia curled her lips in disappointment: "It must be your aunt who told you not to say anything? Hmph, maybe her man's family is not as rich as she said..." She glanced at the child, "The clothes she wears are also It's almost like us..." After a pause, her eyes were fixed on the child's hair: "Why is Zhuma so careless? He didn't even comb your hair for you!" After that, she reached out and brushed the little girl's hair. She made two braids and arranged the belt for her by the way: "Women who have never been mothers can't do it. This method of tying a belt is only used by boys. You are a girl, so you should tie it like this..."
This little girl is Ming Na who drank the hair color-changing potion. She blinked and let the proprietress of the small shop help her arrange her clothes and hair. Isn't it? It's not right." Since she entered this country, the people she met made her hate, but this woman, although long-winded, reminded her of her mother and felt a kind of intimacy. When Awujia helped her tidy up, she smiled sweetly and thanked her, in exchange for the other party gently touching her head.
The smell of bread came from the kitchen, and Awujia hurriedly said, "A oven of bread is already baked, wait, I'll get it for you." After that, she went into the kitchen. Ming Na was next to the counter, holding the bread and licking the candy bar, thinking that this "mission" was easy.
The thought flashed through her mind, and a few people walked in front of the store. The leader of them was an officer dressed up. When they saw her, they looked at a document in their hand, as if they were looking at something.
Ming Na suddenly felt nervous when she saw the knife on the other side's waist. Thinking of the officer who died under her grandfather's hands, she lowered her head in a guilty conscience, her whole body tensed, and she was ready to run away at any time.
The officer saw a little girl from his own country in the store, and asked an old man next to him: "How many people are there in this family? Is that their child?"
The old man stretched his neck and squinted at Minna, but his eyes were dizzy. He could only see that it was a little girl dressed as a villager, about the same height as Kuwa and Awuja's daughter, so he nodded and said: "It's their daughter." He shouted: "Is anyone home? Kuwa? Awuja?"
Ming Na was startled and turned around to see Awujia sticking out her head from the kitchen: "Here, is that the village chief? Are you looking for me?"
"Where is your Kuwa?"
"Go out, do you have anything to do with him?"
"It's nothing, you're busy." The old man waved his hand, and when he saw Awujia shrinking his head back, he smiled and said to the officer, "It's this family of three." The officer nodded, not looking after him. Ming Na, who seemed very nervous, took it to heart, and led the old man and his subordinates to the next house.
Ming Na was greatly relieved to see him leave. Although she didn't understand why the old man recognized herself as the aunt's daughter, she finally deceived her.
At this time, Awujia came out with a plate of bread and handed it to her with a smile: "In addition to the four just now, the total is eight, and you will receive forty-eight copper coins. Do you have any money on you?"
Ming Na quickly took out a gold coin, and Awujia stared at it: "Is this a gold coin? Your family is really rich." After saying that, she took a bite of the money and saw that it was true. Shine, but immediately started worrying again: "But I don't have so much money to find you, what should I do?"
Ming Na blinked, she was a little stupid. Grandpa only said that one gold coin was enough to buy the food, but he didn't say what to do if others had no money to find it, so he murmured: "Then...then don't look for it, alright. ?"
"How can I do that?!" Awujia glared at her, "We have never done anything like this in our store!" After thinking about it, she hesitated: "How about I go to someone to borrow it? The village chief. There should be so much money..." She looked up at the old man and the officer not far away, and seemed to be going to find them.
Ming Na was taken aback, she couldn't hide from the officer, how could she let the other party pay attention to her? He said busyly: "Then... Then I'll buy more food. What else is there for Auntie?" Awujia was overjoyed when she heard the words, and hurriedly recommended to her a combination of boiled noodles and roasted sweet potatoes. Such food, Ming Na swept the whole store to the bottom of the food, including the bread bought in front, just bought enough things for nine silver coins and eight copper coins, and successfully got back the 92 copper coins. zero.
Awujia smiled so much that she couldn't see her eyes: "What a good boy, when I see your aunt, I will definitely praise you."
Ming Na laughed dryly, thanked her, and walked back with a large pile of food. When she encountered soldiers on the way, she also acted as if nothing had happened. In fact, she looked nervous, but the little girl was not the suspect of the soldiers, so she did not attract attention. She was able to walk to the house on the edge of the village and meet her grandfather who was hiding behind the house.
Xiao Tianjian quickly took the pile of food that looked like it was about to crush the little granddaughter, stuffed it into the storage ring, then picked up Ming Na and swept into the forest. After arriving in a safe place, he asked about the process of buying food. Ming Na said it one by one. He didn't think anything, but he heard a cold sweat. Clever, she has long been dressed, and it seems that she still needs to be educated in the future.
If you want to deceive people, you must first learn to overcome nervousness and avoid contact with acquaintances!
With enough food, Minna can use magic to make water again, and most of their physical needs along the way have been solved. After combining various situations, Xiao Tianjian decided to give up the level and sneak through the nearby mountain forest. The little granddaughter has a foundation of light power, and her leg strength is much better than her peers. In addition, she has practiced climbing skills for several months in the elf forest. With her own help, there should be no major problems.
It turns out that not only is Minna no problem, she even adjusts better than him.
She is thin and agile, with strong hands and feet. It is easier for her to climb vines and trees in the mountains than her grandfather, who is a master of martial arts. Moreover, this large mountain and dense forest reminded her of the days in the elf forest, and the annoyance since entering the country of Nuojia has also dissipated a lot. If it wasn't for her grandfather to stop her, she would even want to shout. She climbed trees with ease, she simply didn't even go the "mountain road", and went directly to the "air" road.
Xiao Tianjian was a little speechless, the little granddaughter had been obedient for so long, he actually forgot how annoying she was back then. I really don't know how her mother, who pays attention to etiquette and decency, raised such a monkey-like daughter. He used to think that Dora was too strict with the children, but today he began to feel that it is not easy for a daughter-in-law. He is the number one expert in the whole continent, who is invincible in the world, and he has to work hard to be optimistic about his granddaughter. Child, I am afraid that something will happen to her.
"Grandpa!" Ming Na lowered her voice and called to him from a big tree in front of him, "Hurry up, you are so slow!" After speaking, she stretched her neck and looked at the third level not far away. Turning around and dragging a thick vine, he swung to the next tree.
Xiao Tianjian cut off a snake hanging from a branch next to him with one sword and followed him, feeling even more depressed.
They walked all the way through the forest and finally reached Murray after seven days. Xiao Tianjian took out his and Ming Na's real identities, passed Nuojia's checkpoint, and truly left the country.
Mongli is located at the junction of Nuojia, Weisha and Vatican, with the back of the mountain on the border of Vatican, and the terrain is high in the east and low in the west. It is a large town. In the center of the town is the market. With it as the center, the whole town is divided into three parts, which belong to the spheres of influence of the Three Kingdoms. People from different countries live in different areas, resulting in the situation that there are three architectural styles in a town, and the people from different countries live in different areas. The people here have their own characteristics in clothing, food and customs. Many people will go to the three sub-districts to experience different national customs in their spare time. However, this area is deeply influenced by the underground forces of Wisdom, the capital of Weisha. Armed fights happen from time to time and can never be a true tourist destination.
Minna followed her grandfather into the town, only to think that there are many people here, more people than Gedon, Maiton and all the places she passed by, and even the streets of Nomonka may not be so lively. People are clamoring for goods from all over the world, and customers go back and forth to pick what they want, but strangely, they don't seem to have the habit of haggling. Ming Na asked her grandfather in a low voice, only to know that this was a "rule" established by local conventions, but she didn't understand, why is this?
The grandparents and grandchildren gradually left the control of the Nuojia people and embarked on a different road. The houses on both sides here have white or light blue walls, black roofs, and no extra decoration, which is very simple. Every door is decorated with an eight-pointed star, which is the symbol of the Light Sect. Most of the pedestrians on the road wore simple and clean clothes, the women had almost no jewelry on their bodies, and the children walked steadily.
Ming Na felt something, and asked softly, "Grandpa, is this an area close to Fan A?" It must be, this is the place protected by the God of Light, and even the air has become holy, Ming Na couldn't help but feel Take it easy, so as not to offend the people here.
Xiao Tianjian nodded and looked at an all-white house beside the road with some disgust: "If you encounter these people in the future, stay away and don't associate with them."
Ming Na looked at her grandfather in surprise and was about to ask him why he said that, but he was dragged tightly into another street, turned to the right, and came to another area, the scene in front of him suddenly changed a look.
The houses here are of beautiful colors, pale yellow, sky blue, pink, and white, most of them have onion-like roofs, and the flower beds around the houses are also very neatly trimmed. Ming Na immediately put aside her previous doubts and asked curiously, "Grandpa, where is this? Why are the roofs of these houses so strange?"
Xiao Tianjian showed a smile on his face: "This is the characteristic of Weisha. We are now in a block controlled by Weisha. The Xiao family business has a shop here, and I also have a house here."
Minna asked happily: "Grandpa has a house here? Can we live in it?"
"Of course, my house is very beautiful. It's white, with golden carvings, a big yard, a gazebo, a veranda and a pool. It's very comfortable to live in. It was given by a friend of mine. I'll take you to meet him later, he has a lot of good things, and he likes children very much, maybe he will give you a few small gifts."
Ming Na's heart jumped when she heard it. She had met several of Grandpa's friends. They were all very interesting people. I wonder what this one is like?
They didn't go far before they came to a street full of shops and stalls. People's clothes were very different from what they had seen before. They looked like some residents who were seen on the snow-capped mountains north of Nuojia. Clothing, but much thinner, and even some women will wear dresses made of light gauze all over, embellished with colorful gems or pearls, and the navel is looming, revealing a small waist. Most of the women dressed like this are beautiful and rich. They either follow rich people or go with women dressed in the same way.
Ming Na looked at them with great interest, and was very interested in what looked like musical instruments on their backs. She was pulled by her grandfather, so she didn't lose him because she was just looking at the freshness~IndoMTL.com~ Xiao Tianjian stopped in front of a shop at the back of the street. Ming Na guessed that this is probably the shop of the Xiao family business, but why is the shop closed?
Xiao Tianjian was obviously puzzled. He asked the people at the shop next to him and learned that the manager and the clerk of the firm had been taken away half a month ago. He couldn't help but be shocked. Did it happen again? ! He hurriedly took his granddaughter over the back wall and entered the shop.
The place inside is very large. Ming Na walked around. The dining room, room, kitchen, and warehouse were all empty. The furniture was covered with a thin layer of dust. It was obvious that no one had been occupied for a while. Were the people here expelled like those in the Nomonka branch? However, there seems to be something wrong...
Suddenly, she heard the sound of a machine in the innermost room, and ran over, only to see Grandpa standing by a bookshelf, and a hole was slowly opening in the floor in front of him. She went up consciously and sent a lighting spell into the cave. There was a secret room inside, but it was empty.
Xiao Tianjian murmured: "People, money and goods are not there, the transfer is really complete..." But why? There are still foreign businessmen in the town, why were the Xiao family members driven away?
"No..." He slowly realized that this speculation was unreasonable, "It doesn't look like he was driven away..."
"Nothing is broken!" Minna exclaimed first, "There is only dust on the ground, no littering! It's different from Nomonka!"
(It's really depressing... It's been raining heavily for a long time, thunderstorms, I almost dare not turn on the computer... Can we see Ming Na's growth in this chapter? Although there are still shortcomings... Ah, tickets ~~~)
