Chapter 142 Drama: School of fish offshore
Luo Xi carried the pig feed to the pig pen in the backyard of Rodel's house.
It's been more than two years. The sow he comforted when he first came here has been living until now. Luo Xi doesn't know why Rodel has kept this pig for so long.
The most important thing is that he has a very bad temper and starts getting into trouble every once in a while, and no one in the village wants to touch him.
Its owner, Rodel, was a stingy little old man who was very picky about asking for help, so no one would risk rolling around in the mud with the pigs to help him.
Since Luo Xi arrived, Rodel has found his most convenient and excellent tool man.
Come to the pigsty and pour the pig feed into the trough.
The dirty big black fat pig not far away flapped its big ears and seemed to have no intention of getting up for a while.
Fortunately, he seems to be in a good mood today.
"Roxi, come here and help me move these bags of grain to the attic!" an old and sharp voice shouted.
Rodel is a short old man, and people in the village have always believed that a large part of his bad temper comes from this.
"Oh." Luo Xi replied tepidly, and then said to the big fat pig in front of him: "Good morning, I have confirmed what I told you about naming you before, and Rodel does not allow it. . He said that unless I buy you, I am not qualified to name you, which is a pity."
The big fat pig turned its body, looked at Luo Xi with its big eyes, and made a grunting sound.
Luo Xi shrugged and went to help under Rodel's further urging.
With his power, the chores that ordinary people need to ask for can be easily done, but the seemingly easy work does not mean that it can also make people feel relaxed.
Because people often have work to do, so they don’t feel too relaxed.
Seeing Luo Xi easily move the things he could only drag with difficulty, Rodel said: "The young man's body is really good."
"I have nothing to do with being young, sir." Luo Xi replied.
He knew that two years ago he was definitely a, um... To use a term in Broken Dreams, he should be called a "white face".
Apart from looking good, it is basically useless.
"It doesn't matter, at least you will come and help me. That boy from Tuluo has been arrogantly wanting to hunt sea monsters all day long. If he really wants to hunt, he doesn't want to follow his grandfather and learn to hunt animals on the mountains. There are many things to hunt in the sea. What’s the use? It can’t even be used to make pig feed.” Rodel’s words were not nice, but he was quite down-to-earth.
Hunting things in the sea is to ensure personal safety, blindly provoking sea monsters is definitely a fool's errand.
But Tulo always wanted to be a hunter in the village, and Shan and Mahad would always reject him.
"Actually, I don't really want to help you." Luo Xi said sincerely: "If you give me a bad review, I may be sacrificed by you."
The old man didn't speak. He returned to the room for a moment, then brought a cup of hot milk and handed it to Luo Xi.
Luo Xi took it.
In fact, he didn't hate this little old man with a bad mouth. At least, although he spoke unpleasantly, he actually took good care of Luo Xi. Many times, Luo Xi also knew that the other person seemed to just want to find someone to talk to about his complaints as he got older.
Anyway, there is hot milk and some snacks to eat, so why not?
"You can actually leave here easily." Rodel looked at Luo Xi and said with some emotion.
Luo Xi didn't say anything. He blew the hot milk to cool it down and then sipped it. He was afraid of burning it.
"If you don't like this village and the forced labor, you can leave at any time now. With what you have learned now, it is easy to live outside. You can find the city and the rumored maritime empire. Find a better life there," Rodel said.
"There's still a little time left in three years, just a few months." Luo Xi said.
"Honesty is a good quality, but sometimes it's not necessary." The old man shook his head.
"Thank you for your suggestion. Although I don't like the village, there are people who take care of me occasionally. At least they will take care of me for the promised time." Luo Xi replied.
Rodel shook his head: "Stubborn brat."
After saying that, he left.
After Luo Xi finished drinking the milk, she put the cup on the table and left without disturbing her.
Along the way, he would greet people when he saw them, but most people would give him a cold glance or simply ignore him.
This is actually not bad. After all, more than a year ago, when he greeted him casually, the villagers here would even avoid him as if they were cursed by the plague god.
Based on his simple nature, Luo Xi felt that he would not be so hated. He had been busy working for this village for more than two years.
He naturally knew the specific reason for this, but he didn't care.
Since he had nothing to do, he went to Mahad's hut to have a look.
This unusual old man seems to be getting thinner every day than he was yesterday. He is sitting in a rocking chair and squinting his eyes, as if he is in his twilight years. It is far different from the feeling he had two years ago. .
"Roxi, you went to the sea again." As soon as he came up, Mahad opened his eyes and looked at Roxi with some cloudy eyes and said.
His voice also became hoarse, not as strong as before.
"Yeah." Luo Xi admitted directly.
There is currently only one person who knows that he went to the village today. It is obvious that Tullo is here to blow the wind again.
"Alas." The old man shook his head and sighed.
"I feel fine, you can check." Luo Xi said.
Mahad nodded, and Luo Xi stepped forward and knelt down on one knee in front of the old man.
The old man in front of him raised his thin fingers, a wisp of fire ignited on his fingertips, and gently touched Luo Xi's eyebrows.
The flames swayed slightly in the wind, then died.
"You're fine."
"I am fine."
After asking and answering, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
Rosie stood up again.
Mahad looked at Luo Xi and said, "Have you grown taller?"
"I don't know. Although I don't know my age, I should be an adult."
The old man shook his head: "You must have grown taller."
"That's what you say."
"Are you still dreaming recently?"
"Always doing it."
"But your will has never deviated." The old man said with emotion.
Luo Xi was noncommittal and said: "There haven't been many sea monsters in the sea recently, which is a bit strange."
Mahad frowned: "Are you sure?"
"I only encountered a few four-legged fish this morning, and the coast of the island seemed to be cleared all at once." Luo Xi confirmed.
The old man's eyes seemed to become serious.
"It doesn't look like normal." Luo Xi understood when she saw the look in his eyes.
"The fish leave the shore, the ocean current calms down, and under the lightless sea is the mother's nest of the great god." The old man suddenly read this sentence.
Luo Xi didn't quite understand: "So is something coming?"
"I don't know, I'm not sure. No matter what, it won't be normal for sea monsters to leave the shore." Mahad shook his head.
"What are we going to do?" Luo Xi asked realistically.
"I want to inform the villagers to make possible preparations. Please help convey it to Shan." The old man stood up from the rocking chair and said.
Luo Xi nodded in agreement.
Separated from Mahad, he refused several offers of help along the way on the grounds that he had a mission, and finally came to Shan's workshop.
But before I entered, I heard the sound inside.
"Brother Shan, tell me, how can I become as powerful a hunter as you! You are even willing to give that foreigner this kind of power! Why can't I!"
It was Tullo's voice.
what is this? After playing Mahad, come to play mountain again?
Luo Xi was not in a hurry to go in, so he leaned against the door and eavesdropped.
As for the morality of eavesdropping, he felt that as long as it was similar to speaking ill of people behind their backs, he would have no psychological burden.
"I have repeated it many times. You want to be a hunter. Your grandfather has always wanted to teach you and let you learn from his technical experience. Even Luo Xi, whom you hate, learned several pistol skills from your grandfather." Shan The angry voice said.
"What I want to be is not that kind of hunter, but someone who can protect the village."
“Aren’t Mahad and I not enough?”
"Then why give it to that foreigner..."
"Have you ever thought that there might be some kind of danger and price behind this power? Mahad saved me because I was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Why would you set foot in the ocean for no reason?"
"But you have been doing well all these years! So has that foreigner! It's been almost three years, and everything is so normal!"
"You just told me that he went to the sea again, maybe he had some conspiracy with the sea monster?"
"..." Tu Luo was suddenly speechless.
This is how Leng Tou Qing was violently killed by a serious adult based on his own logic.
Luo Xi even wanted to laugh a little.
Rapid footsteps came quickly towards the door.
Then the door was opened.
Tu Luo walked out gloomily. He looked around and saw no one else, so he left quickly.
Shan followed behind and stretched out.
"It makes me sad to hear that you gave all dangerous things to a foreigner like me." Luo Xi's voice suddenly came from behind him.
Shan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the roof behind him. Luo Xi was sitting on the roof looking at him with a smile.
He couldn't help but laugh: "To be honest, I have lied to you before."
Luo Xi didn't have any dissatisfaction. He understood this from the beginning and said it was just a joke.
