Ali's Bizarre Adventure

Mill said.

"Ah."

Ari stood at the door and said obediently, "We are from other places, we are not bad people."

The woman who cooks looked over. This woman should only be in her 20s, but she is a little old.

Rough skin, dry hair, haggard.

But there is kindness in the eyebrows and eyes.

"Hahaha, it's just two little girls. I'm not worried that you are bad people, but what's the matter with you here?"

the man asked.

"Forehead…"

Ari thought for a while, "stay overnight."

Ahri can go directly to the Miasty Jungle, but before that, I still want to know about Shurima.

At least learn about local customs and legends.

"this…"

The man seemed a little embarrassed, he glanced at his wife, and then became even more helpless.

There is only one bed here, and not much food.

Water is more precious.

If he was out of town and looking for someone to stay for the night, he must also hope that the host will agree, so as not to sleep in the sand and dust.

It would be even more appreciative if they were treated with food and some water.

He thought he should agree to keep the two girls.

But he can't do it.

"Son, if you stay for a few days, it's still okay."

Mir's mother stood up from behind the stove, her face was dusty and her hair was dry, "It's just food, it can barely keep you from being hungry."

Chapter 658 Strange Disease

"Little girl, you can stay here, but... the food can only... barely keep you from being hungry."

The woman behind the stove stood up.

A pretty age in her early twenties should have bloomed like a flower, with a plump body, firm skin and full of vitality.

But it is like dry grass.

It's just that the kindness in my heart has not completely drowned in the hardships of life and the complicated market.

"Thank you."

Ari bowed down to thank him.

Unlike the xenophobia in the Freljord, the people here are not so hostile to strangers.

That's a good sign.

"Girls, sit down and eat." The woman put the freshly cooked meal on the table, "You should be hungry too."

The food is all packed in an iron pot, and the rice is mixed with chopped vegetables and boiled.

Women's small bowls are good one by one.

There are a little more men, and the two children, Ari and Lilia, are about the same, and they are divided into five shares in total.

After doing this, the woman walked out of the house.

She sat on a stone not far from the door, looking at the moon in the sky, and the night wind gently blew her dry hair.

There was a long-lost joy in her heart.

I haven't felt like this for a long time.

how long?

Can't remember.

In Fourteenth Summer, she left her parents, married a person she loved, and depended on each other ever since.

After three summers, they had two children.

Gradually.

Gradually.

She lost herself.

Lost in the vortex called "survival".

"you…"

A soft and clear voice came from behind the woman, "Did you...didn't eat at night?"

The woman looked around her, and there was a shadow of a deer on the sand.

"I ate ahead of time."

The woman didn't turn her head back, and said softly, "Xiao Lu, you and your friends must be tired, you can go to rest first and have a good sleep."

"Give you."

Lilia sat down beside the woman, holding an apple in her hand, "I don't want to sleep yet."

The woman turned her head to look at the things in Lilia's hands for a while.

Then he looked at her eyes, very clean eyes, cleaner eyes than any water spring she had ever seen.

It's so beautiful that it doesn't seem to be a thing of this world.

"My friend, Ari...she went to the village to ask other people about things, and I want to know more people."

Lilia looked at the woman, "Can you tell me about yourself?"

"…I?"

At this moment, the woman can't think of any stories about herself, she is too ordinary.

So ordinary that there is nothing worth remembering.

"I was born by my parents, then I grew up, got married, had children, worked, slept, and ate. Day after day, it seemed like that. Not surprisingly, maybe... until I die, life is like this."

For a moment, the woman recalled some light in her life, and she couldn't help becoming sentimental.

Everyone has fantasies.

It was a dead dream.

Lilia felt that this woman was very pitiful, she seemed to have lost something very important to a human being.

Probably something like faith.

Although Lilia doesn't quite understand what faith is, no matter in Ionia, Freljord, or Demacia, there is an invisible thing that connects everyone.

This kind of thing makes them Ionians, Demacians, and Freljords.

And this woman may just be living simply.

Live like an animal.

She is a Shuriman.

……

Passing a trail, Ari saw a relatively large courtyard not far from the village, with dim lights.

The warmth of the fine sand on the soles of the feet spread to the soles of Ahri's feet.

In a trance, the light looked a little ambiguous.

"Miss Lanny..."

Ari thought of the girl from Fourteenth Summer, she was probably having fun in that courtyard at the moment.

"You are…"

A voice brought Ari back to his thoughts, "You are the foreigner who just arrived, it seems... called Ari, isn't it?"

A girl stepped out from the shadow of the moonlight, holding a basket in her hand, a few strands of messy hair sticking to her slightly sweaty neck, and a gray-black straight skirt set off her slender figure.

"Isn't Mommy willing to keep you overnight?"

Lanny asked.

Lani stepped out of the shadows of the courtyard, and the moonlight fell on her, making her body shimmer.

"It can't be helped. Their house is not easy. If you have no place to sleep, you can stay at my house overnight."

Lanny said to herself.

"Do not…"

Ari shook his head, "No, Mir's family let us stay overnight, I just came out for a walk."

"Really? Then together."

The girl held Ahri's hand generously, "Only at night can people feel happy here."

Ahri's finger was also naturally lightly placed on the girl's palm, not wanting to reject her kindness.

Lan Ni's hands were rough, not soft, not smooth, and could even touch some thin calluses.

This is a hardworking girl.

"You just..."

Ari glanced back at the wide courtyard. Although it was relatively large, it was quite simple.

The lights there are off.

It's pitch black now.

"Forehead…"

Lanny pursed her lips, then smiled, and whispered, "I just put Master Sobbys to sleep."

When Lanny said this, there was a hint of happiness in her expression.

"why?"

Ari walked slowly. In her mind, this girl was just a stranger or a local. As an outsider, Ari wanted to know more, "You seem to be satisfied with this?"

"do not you know?"

Lan Ni held Ahri's hand, which was slightly warm, "People respect Master Sobies very much. He is here and has saved many people. In other words... without him, we might have already turned into dust."

"Did something happen?"

"Forehead…"

Lan Ni lowered her head and thought for a while, then she raised her head, with a glint in her eyes, "That was when I was young, our village was still further west, about thirty or forty miles west .”

"Near our village is a jungle, an inaccessible jungle. According to the old people, some people have walked into that jungle before, and those people never came back."

"You can't imagine it, can you? On such a land full of yellow sand, there is a place where the dry sand absorbs water and becomes soft and cool. It is covered with moss and dense vegetation."

"During that time, the vegetation slowly expanded, getting closer and closer to our village, and even the springs that were about to dry up gushed out clear and sweet spring water, just like a dream."

"People thought better days were coming."

Lan Ni looked to the west, with a hint of longing in her eyes, as if she really saw a clear water source.

However, this glimmer of longing was quickly overwhelmed by fear.

"Just when people imagined that the oasis came to our village, people in the village began to get sick, a strange disease that no one had ever seen, at first it was a newborn baby, and people hadn't had time to celebrate her birth, even her birthday Before Bai could wash the blood off her body with clean water, she died in the astonishment of everyone."

"It is said that when the baby was still alive, a wild flower that no one had ever seen grew slowly from her mouth."

"And after she died, more flowers and vines pierced through her skin. Those things, using her body as nutrients, grew wildly on her body. After that, her mother and father died one after another, In the same way. Vines and flowers, almost covering their house."
