Chapter 2439 Juliet’s Play House

*************************************************** *************************************************

I was also confused by Akara, and I didn’t understand what kind of medicine she was selling in her pocket. Although she had been working very hard to find all kinds of crystal palaces for me, and treated me like a handyman elder + the face of hundreds of tribes, but This is the first time I have seen someone working so hard to such a level of blatant flag-waving and shouting. ~~~* ..

Seeing that the eyes of several elders finally fell on me, with a meaning of inquiry, I quickly waved my hands: "Don't look at me, I didn't go to ask the Great Elder Akara."

"This is strange, but no matter what, since Elder Akara is like this, Elder Fan, your will is so strong, as a close ally of the Adventurer Alliance, although our fox tribe has never encountered such a thing, But it doesn’t matter if I make an exception for you.”

Mamaga kept talking, not forgetting to sell me and Akara a favor. Of course, it doesn’t matter if I accept the favor willingly, as long as the fox can live in peace, and when I take the fox back home, I owe the fox Isn’t the favor from the human race a favor owed to oneself? Hum hum.

"Thank you so much, elders."

"Guys, do you have anything else to add?" Mamajia nodded slightly, her eyes falling on some of her old buddies.

"All instructions are to be followed by the great elder." The four elders spoke in unison as if they had rehearsed.

"Okay then. The matter is settled like this. Elder Fan, please wait a moment. We have to prepare some things first." After a pause, Mamaga added: "The most important thing is food and water. We must prepare enough. If possible, could I trouble you, Elder Fan, to clear your inventory and bring as much as possible?"

"Of course there is no problem, but I still have a lot of food and water on me. I can reduce it appropriately to save time."

Then, I took a look at the inventory. Early in the morning when I left the camp, Vilas and the others got up to help me prepare dry food. Not much time though. There is no way to prepare something too delicate. But when it comes from Willas's hand, no matter how simple the food is, it tastes first-class, there is no doubt about it.

"Others don't matter. There's just one thing. Elder Fan definitely doesn't have much of it, and it's something Lucia urgently needs, so we must prepare more." Mamaga looked at the sky outside and continued: "Well, let's set off at noon tomorrow How about it?"

"Everything will follow your instructions, Elder Mamaga." Although I want to leave now, I know that besides food and water, they must have some other things to prepare. There is no need to rush, and tomorrow is not too late, so I can accept it. .

Besides, I don’t have much on me and Lucia needs something urgently. What is it? Seeing that Mamajia didn't understand, I was about to ask what happened, but the five old people had already begun to arrange the preparations for me to enter the test, and they started to get busy, making me hold back the words that had just reached my throat.

That night, Lao Ma and the three of them found me secretly. After learning the good news that Elder Mamajia had agreed for me to enter the Tianhu test, they were happy but also very envious.

"Why, we are Sister Lucia's teammates."

"It's a former teammate." I didn't forget to remind him.

"No matter what teammates they are, they are still teammates. Why are we teammates who share life and death with Sister Lucia even close to the test, but Boss Fan convinced Mamaga and the others with just a few words."

Lao Ma said angrily, feeling like he was being looked down upon.

"Don't look at who you are or who Boss Fan is. Wait until you become the elder of the alliance." The complaining partner Kurt immediately hit the old horse on the head to signal that he would wake up soon and should take medicine. .

"I'm in despair, I'm in despair about this world where people are all divided into different categories!"

"This is the cruel reality, Lao Ma. By the way, Kurt, what rank do you think Lao Ma is?"

"Wait 12." Kurt didn't think about it for a second.

"Asshole, don't slander me. As an adventurer, I should have a third or fourth level at least." Lao Ma was sad and angry. Instead of comforting me, you guys wanted to rub salt into my wounds. You guys This is asking for death.

"That's just status, I'm judging the overall level." Kurt clicked his tongue and shook his finger.

"What is it that lowered my overall level?" Lao Ma said.

"IQ."

"die!"

Seeing the two living treasures fighting again, I shook my head helplessly and looked at Juliet, who had been sitting quietly next to me.

"Juliet, I'm sorry, I still can't bring you with me this time."

"It doesn't matter. Recently, I am learning to knit with an old fox woman." Juliet said happily as if she had discovered a new continent.

"Yes...really?" I wiped the sweat from my forehead, learning to knit? Juliet's shoes, you don't have a fox tail, where will the hair come from in the future?

Uh, don't get it wrong, don't get it wrong, that's not what I meant.

"Really? How are you studying?"

My heart was always full of guilt and pity for Juliet, so I followed her words and asked. Although I felt that as the inheritor of the Twelve Knights, learning knitting was a bit unprofessional, but there was nothing I could do about it. I had to wait until her good friend Yumi After the knight is finished, Juliet can be liberated. Otherwise, why don't you let her go to the third world to experience alone? Anyway, I am absolutely worried and will not agree.

"Something has been accomplished. Please take a look, Your Highness." Then, Yuliye smiled softly and took out the hair yarn she had hidden and gave it to me like a treasure.

"The fox's hair is very thin and soft. It must be like this. Several strands are twisted into one before it can be braided. Like this, like this..." Juliet picked up a few thin fox hairs and moved her ten fingers dexterously. As if by magic, these soft hairs were gradually twisted and pulled into a thin thread only as thick as a few hairs, and the longer it was twisted, the longer it became.

Oh oh oh. It’s amazing, after only a few days of studying, I can achieve this level.

"When you make it a long one, you can start knitting. Hey, hey, it's a pity that I haven't learned how to twist the yarn. I can only twist the coarse hair, but I can't twist the fine hair."

After finishing speaking, Juliet began to concentrate on twisting yarn, and I tried to talk to her again. The result was completely ignored. Thinking about her single-core and single-threaded properties, it is not easy to achieve this level, so I gave up with relief.

"Elder Fan, isn't it good to let Lady Juliet learn this kind of thing?" I don't know when. Lao Ma and the others stopped playing. Together they watched Juliet twisting the yarn. Finally, he said sadly.

Although the knitted goods of the fox people are extremely expensive, no matter how expensive they are, they are not worth it for adventurers, especially those who are the noble inheritors of the Twelve Knights like Juliet.

"Let her do it. It's okay to pass the time." I am full of tolerance for Juliet, as long as she can still be well and live happily, really, I have nothing else to ask for.

"By the way, I may not be able to come back immediately when I enter the test this time. You will also pass it. The longer Lucia stays in it, the greater the harvest will be. If this is the case, I plan to stay with her for a while, maybe at the latest It will last until all the food and water on the body are used up.”

"That's great. Being alone, food and water will be consumed very quickly." Malagbi winked at me, laughing slyly, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Don't worry, I will convey your kind advice to the fox truthfully." I drank tea calmly. This guy probably hasn't tasted the fox's flying knife for a long time, so he misses it very much, right? Very good, I Fulfill you.

"No, Boss Fan, I'm just joking with you!" Lao Ma tightened her anus, hugged my thigh and wailed with snot and tears. He acted so realistically that if you are afraid of death, You are no longer an old horse.

"Go away, oh, by the way, you came just in time. Do you have anything you want me to convey to the fox?" After kicking the old horse away, I was reminded of the conversation just now.

"It's nothing, just let her take care of herself." Bai Lang turned his face to the window and said calmly. People who didn't know better thought he was a tsundere.

"I have it, I have it." Kurt quickly raised his hand: "Tell Sister Lucia that since the old horse has passed away, the captain of Team Lucia must belong to him."

"Don't make false accusations, Kurt, when did I pass?" Lao Ma finally changed his expression this time, his legs went weak, and he shouted in panic. If Lucia heard this, the end would be more than just an anus explosion. .

"Last time you were in your dream. Why was I the man who wanted to become the king of the Snowy Mountains?" Kurt chuckled.

"Then I also have something to say." Lao Ma turned his head towards me with a sad and angry look.

"Boss Fan, please tell Sister Lucia that Kurt once noticed that Sister Lucia's tail hair seemed to have a yellowish look."

The tail of a fox man is equivalent to a human face. If the tail is yellow, it means that the other person is a yellow-faced woman. Kurt was very worried when he heard this.

"Boss Fan, don't listen to Old Ma's nonsense. This guy is going too far. In order not to eat the food made by Sister Lucia, he stole all the salt in Sister Lucia's collection."

"That's true, but Kurt, how dare you not have a share?"

"Of course not. I happened to be lying under the tree and taking a nap that day. How could I have a share?"

"Nonsense, you were obviously trying to show me off at that time, so I could move quickly so that Sister Lucia wouldn't notice me."

Looking at the two people who were in fighting mode again, I sighed.

"I understand, you have nothing to say to Lucia, right?"

"Wait, don't, we have something to say." This time, Lao Ma and Kurt, who were in the scuffle, got anxious and rushed towards me, but I kicked them away again.

Hey, wait, salt?

A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I recalled what Mamaga and I had said before. What the fox urgently needs, what I lack, could it be...salt?

"Hey, do you know why foxes love eating salt so much?" This question has been bothering me for a long time. I wanted to ask the fox directly, but I was afraid of having some dark history, so I never dared to ask. Maybe Lao Ma and the others knew.

"Like it?" The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads after a while.

"Boss Fan, you are wrong. Sister Lucia does not like to eat salt. She is just used to eating salty food. Just like the rice and noodles we usually eat, for Sister Lucia, the salty taste is probably hers. One of the staple foods."

They are reasonable. The fox himself does not realize how salty the food he cooks is, so it is more appropriate to describe it as a habit rather than a like. However, when and how did he learn such a strange habit?

I asked Lao Ma and the others, but they didn't know either. Because these three guys are idiots too. You would rather endure the salty hell of a fox than tell the other person that the food you cooked is too salty and inedible.

"Okay. You guys are of no use anymore. Let's go quickly. I'm leaving tomorrow." The three of them don't have any good friends in the fox tribe, so they just rely on me to stay here and make a lot of noise. Seeing that it was getting late, I forced myself to see the guest off.

When leaving, Lao Ma and Kurt were worried and waved at me desperately, turning back three times: "Boss Fan, don't forget, you must bring our words to Sister Lucia."

"I understand, you can go in peace." I smiled, as if telling them, how many years have we been friends and we will forget this?

Turning around and returning to the room, I immediately darkened my face and laughed gloomily.

Hey hey hey, what should I do? Lao Ma and Kurt revealed so much information in the fierce battle just now. I should choose which one is the most representative and tell the fox, and let them taste the pain of the anus exploding after the fox comes out of seclusion.

If it weren't for White Wolf's cool and scumbag character, it would be impossible for the fox to believe that White Wolf would say bad things or do bad things behind her back. I even considered that White Wolf would do something bad, and that's what he calls a brother.

"Juliet, aren't you going to sleep after it's so late?" When she came back to her senses, she found that Juliet, who had been paying full attention to us and had been forgotten by us in the corner, was still doing what she did at the beginning, twisting yarn.

The adventurer, who was originally only as long as a finger, has grown to nearly a meter long after a night of hard work. This is because Juliet's fingers are nimble and fast. If it were an ordinary fox-man, he could twist one meter of wool in a whole day. Not bad.

Of course, there is no use in twisting it too fast. You have to let the hair on the tail fall off on its own. It is impossible to pluck it out. As I said just now, the tail of a fox man is equivalent to a human face. If you can't help but reach out out of curiosity. Go and touch it, I guarantee that something very interesting will happen. Personal experience will never deceive you.

As a result, Juliet still ignored me.

I had no choice but to leave her here and go back to her room to sleep. I could only sit next to her and watch her twist, slowly. This really requires patience and carefulness. If you make a slight mistake, you have to start over.

As he watched, his eyes became hazy, and he subconsciously raised his gaze and fell on Juliet's face. This focused face looked even more beautiful than usual, and appeared softer, like a lamp. The beautiful wife who sews clothes for herself.

Although I have only been away for a few days, I really miss them so much. I wonder what they are doing now. I looked at Juliet, but my mind drifted thousands of miles away.

"Your Highness? Your Highness?" When I came back to my senses, I found Juliet's slender and beautiful fingers shaking in front of my eyes. I quickly rubbed my eyes and stretched.

"What, you finished twisting the yarn?"

"Well, I've run out of hair, so I can only do this. Let's buy some tomorrow." After saying this, Juliet moved her face closer to me one by one, as if she was sizing up something.

"What, is there something on my face?" I touched it subconsciously.

"No, His Highness has been looking at me just now, but his eyes didn't seem to be looking at me out of curiosity."

"Sorry, sorry, looking at you reminds me of Willas and the others. Juliet will definitely be a good wife in the future."

I laughed and almost wanted to reach out and touch Juliet's head. Although she didn't mind me doing this, I couldn't use this as a free ticket.

"Lord Lanster, you are the second person to say such things to me." Juliet said seriously.

"Oh, who is the first one?" Although I already guessed it, I still asked.

"Mila."

"It is indeed her. Why did she do this? When did she do this?"

"Yes, when was it? Why did Mira do this? Let me think about it." She pursed her lips and thought hard.

I'm sorry, I know you are not good at thinking, but I still let you do this kind of thing.

I didn't have any hope at first, but Juliet actually remembered it.

"I remembered it. It must have been when Mira and I were back together, we played house together and pretended to be husband and wife." After taking the first shot, Juliet smiled happily with a soft smile that made people feel heartbroken.

"Oh oh oh?" Playing house? Playing a couple? That's it for Juliet, that Knight of Mipa... I can't even imagine it.

"It turns out you have known each other since childhood."

"Yes, that's it. My relationship with Mira is very good." It seemed that the good relationship with Knight Mipa was the thing that Juliet was most proud of, she declared with her head shaking.

"So, what happened? Why did she do that?" My gossiping soul was completely fired up. Ignoring Juliet's confused attributes, she continued to ask.

"This...this, let me think about it again, uh-huh. I understand." It was like opening a long-lasting memory box. Juliet's face was full of happiness and remembrance.

"At that time. Mira and I were playing house. We acted as husband and wife. Mira was the husband. I was the wife, and the wife had to cook for her husband, right? But later, Mira was called by the teacher because she had something to do. I kept waiting for her to come back, cooking, cooking, and waiting. It seemed like a long, long time. Mira came back crying and touched my head. I will be a good wife in the future, hehe." In the end, Juliet smiled shyly and sheepishly.

"How long have you been waiting for?" I opened my eyes curiously, "Knight Mipa, I usually see you looking like you have no plan left, but I didn't expect you to be so unreliable at this time, and you actually left your good friend behind and forgot about it."

"I don't know. I just know that it gets dark once, then it gets bright again, and it's almost dark again. The ground is also filled with the dishes I cooked. They are placed from this tree to that tree, and the two trees are They are all surrounded, although they are just made up of blades of grass and unknown fruits picked up, etc."

It's already very high-end, okay? When we were playing house, it just fell into the mud.

"I really missed it. I remembered again that Mira at that time, after she said those words to me, she cried and ate the [dishes] I cooked. She was just playing house, and these were inedible. , there was no way, since Mira had eaten, I had to eat too, and I ate and ate, and I ate it all before I knew it, and then the adults came looking for me, and then, Mira and I got sick together."

After listening to Juliet, I can roughly outline a plot in my mind.

When Knight Meap and Misty Knight were together, they played house together and pretended to be husband and wife. As the wife, Meap Knight cooked for Knight Meap, as her husband. Then Knight Meap was called away because of something. Maybe it was because she couldn't get away, or she forgot about it, or she thought that the confused knight couldn't wait for her to come back and would end the house game on its own, or all three reasons.

However, the confused knight did not end the game and go home. Being single-minded, she was still waiting for Knight Mipa to come back. She waited for more than a whole day until the adults discovered that the confused knight had not returned all night. She was nowhere to be found and went to ask Knight Mipa. She suddenly ran back in shock, cried and touched the confused knight's head, praising her for being a good wife. Then the two of them ate the food they were playing, and finally both of them I got sick because of this.

The general plot should be like this, the story is not that I suddenly possessed Conan and saw through the truth, but because Juliet's action pattern is so easy to guess.

Sure enough, we are good friends for a lifetime. It is obviously a childhood past that makes people laugh or cry, but I was unexpectedly moved. My brain became hot and I blurted out: "If I have to leave now for something, will you wait here all the time? "

Juliet tilted her head slightly in confusion, as if question marks were popping up on her forehead, which was very cute. Then, she suddenly clasped her hands together and patted them lightly, making a sign of realization.

"Your Highness, do you want to play house with Juliet?"

"..." No... Why would she think of such a thing? It's also my fault for being confused and asking such a strange question.

However, Juliet suddenly exploded, and her mind was still running at a high speed as her thoughts became unruly. She pointed at me: "Your Highness, play the role of the husband who has run away from home."

Then he pointed to himself: "Juliet, the wife who is sad because her husband left."

What kind of third-rate housewife drama setting is this? I burst into tears. I shouldn't have started such a strange topic in the first place, causing Juliet's brain to turn on the four-core and eight-thread virus mode.

Obviously, the police could no longer stop Juliet now. She approached me one by one with her flawless and pretty face, her face with a soft smile full of expectation: "Do you want to play? Do you want to play? Lord Lanster wants to Do you want to play with Juliet?"

"This... this..." Lanster, your mother has called you home for dinner! ! ! ! ! !

"Do you want it? Do you want it?" Juliet's face was already less than an inch away from my eyes, and our noses were almost touching.

"Play, want, play!" I was helpless and could only raise my hands in surrender.

"Great, then, your Highness, please go with peace of mind. Juliet will definitely be waiting for Your Highness... Ah, no, waiting for my dear to come back." Holding my hand, Juliet quickly entered the role.

Wait, is this really good? Isn't it right to tell my husband who wants to run away from home, "please go ahead with peace of mind", with tears in his eyes to persuade me to stay? What are you trying to do in such a hurry to drive me away? Could it be that a guy named Wang has moved next door?

Facing Juliet's innocent smile, I was speechless. I stammered and raised my hand to wave: "Then... then, I'm going."

"Yes, please go with peace of mind, my dear, I will always wait for you to come back."

"I'm going, I really want to go, I'm going to run away from home." I turned around in three steps and repeated unwillingly.

"It doesn't matter how long you go, I will always wait for you to come back, and I will raise your child well."

There is such a setting for children? This is a bit of a trick to play house!

I looked shocked, and with Juliet watching, I took mechanical steps, walked out of the house step by step, and walked outside into the ice and snow. I closed the door with a bang and stood there for a long time, looking up at the night sky, as if there were flying stars falling from the corners of my eyes.

I...seemed...to be kicked out?

"Ah, yes, dear." At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, the warm breath in the room leaked out, and the figure of Juliet chasing after me surprised me. Is this right? This is the twists and turns It's just a housewife's theater. Come on, beg me to go back. I want to go back to the house. I want to sit by the fire and sleep beautifully!

"Dear, your dry food, don't get hungry on the way." Juliet stuffed a few hard pieces of bread into me, smiled shyly and warmly at me, and closed the door again.
