People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

After receiving the date palm candy, Rhodes first untied the rope from Kelai's body, and then handed over the pieces of candy.

"Come on, eat something, you won't be hungry anymore."

responded to his.

It was a hard bite on his hand.

"Rod!"

"Rod!"

"Brother Rhodes!"

This mouthful really scared everyone present.

In the desert, there are various rumors about how the disease spreads. One of them is that the way the disease spreads is through the patient's saliva, sweat and other bodily fluids.

Harlan was bitten before too.

But fortunately, his skin was rough and his flesh was thick. Kelai didn't bite the skin, so he could just wash it off.

But now Rhodes' hand has been bitten by Kelai, and bright red blood is flowing down the corner of her mouth.

Out of worry, someone immediately stepped forward to pull Kelai away.

"It doesn't matter, this disease is not contagious."

Rhodes waved his hand to stop them again, then tried his best to smile gently and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to catch you."

This sentence "I'm not here to catch you" seems to have some magic power.

As soon as Rhodes finished speaking, Kelai loosened his grip slightly and raised his head to look at him in confusion.

"Don't worry, I'm not the one who injected you with medicine, nor am I here to take you back."

"This is Aru Village."

"No one can catch you from here."

Rhodes ignored the blood on his hands and continued to comfort the frantic Cole.

I don’t know if what I said just now worked, or if the sweet smell of date palm honey is just too tempting.

In short.

After hesitating for a long time.

Kelai finally let go of her mouth, and then tentatively took a piece of candy from Rhodes' hand. After taking the first bite, a flash of light suddenly appeared in her eyes, and then she started chewing it. While she was doing it, she ate all the date palm honey that Disiya brought over.

"Any more? More."

Seeing that Kelai was still licking the crumbs from his hands, Rhodes asked Disiya for a few more pieces of candy.

This time.

Kelai no longer bites people as he did before. Instead, he grabs the candy and wolfs it down as soon as he sees it.

After eating more than a dozen pieces in a row, she patted her belly with satisfaction and stopped asking for sweets.

"what's your name?"

Only then did Rhodes speak to her again.

"My, my, my name is Cole."

It seemed that he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, and when he suddenly wanted to speak, Kelai thought for a long time before saying his name clearly.

"Collet."

After repeating Kelai's name, Rhodes said: "Your body is not suitable for running around in the desert. Stay here for a few days and I will find the best doctor in the village to prescribe some medicine for you."

"No, no, I don't want to see a doctor! I don't want to see a doctor!!!"

The word 'doctor' seemed to be the biggest taboo for Kelai. As if she was stressed, she jumped and shrank into the corner, waving her hands wildly, with fear written on her face.

"Okay, I won't look for a doctor anymore. You can rest here for a few days."

Rhodes hurriedly went to comfort her, and at the same time said: "I still have a lot of the candy here. If you stay here, you can eat it every day."

In one fell swoop, he promised many benefits of staying.

Kelai stopped shaking and asked timidly.

"Really, really?"

The temptation of sugar is still great for a little girl who has been homeless for a long time. Even now, her face still looks like a frightened kitten, but there is a bit more desire in her eyes.

"Ah."

Rhodes nodded and secretly made another gesture to Disiya.

Disiya understood and quickly gave him all the date palm honey in her pocket.

"Now, look, these are all yours."

"I have more here. If you want to eat, I can fill you up at any time."

Rhodes held the candy in his left hand and was still waving at Cole with his right hand.

It feels like a bad guy trying to trick a little girl with a lollipop.

A very low-level deception technique.

The effect is surprisingly good.

Kelai was really tempted by the date palm honey and slowly moved out of the corner. Seeing that no one came to catch him, he rushed forward and hugged the date palm honey tightly in his arms, his eyes wary. Glancing back and forth around.

Rhodes tried to reach out his hand, touched her messy head like a henhouse and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Just made contact.

Rhodes could clearly feel Cole's body tightening.

Fortunately.

This time she didn't resist anymore, she stood there honestly, not moving at all, but her arms around Date Palm Honey became harder and harder.

Chapter 45 They just want to live

"Sleep?"

Desiya, who was sitting by the campfire in the yard, asked softly.

This is the first night of taking in Kelai.

This little guy who has been wandering in the desert for a long time has caused Rhodes a lot of trouble.

For example, if you don’t eat, you must eat sweets.

For example, she didn't take a shower even though she was dirty. In the end, Desiya knocked her unconscious and took a shower. The price was that Kelai immediately hid away when he saw her after waking up.

Furthermore, I would not sleep at night, and would huddle in a dark corner, refusing to come out no matter how loud I screamed.

"Well, I went to sleep."

After struggling all day, Rhodes twisted his body.

Kelai is very vigilant.

Except for Rhodes, no one else was allowed to get close to him, and he would bite anyone who came over. He spent a lot of effort to coax her to sleep.

"How is your hand?" Desiya asked with concern.

"never mind."

Rhodes showed off his intact right hand. The wound bitten by Cole during the day had now fully recovered.

His fire elemental power was the same as his ice elemental power. They both had their own healing abilities, and the healing effects were similar. The area bitten by Kelai healed in the blink of an eye.

"It's okay."

"Your elemental power is really strange."

After muttering something in a low voice, Disiya changed the topic and said in a serious tone: "There is something wrong with this little girl. She does not stay here sincerely."

Although Collet hid it well.

But everyone present at the time could tell that she was willing to stay here not because she was greedy for the food, but because she had other ideas.

By this time, she had fallen asleep, and Desiya was free to discuss the matter with Rhodes.

But Rhodes didn't care about this.

He held a branch in his hand and stirred the bonfire while replying: "Yeah, I know."

"Knowing that you still keep her?"

Hearing this, Desiya's voice couldn't help but rise a little higher.

"Shh-"

Rhodes did not explain, but gently raised his finger to signal Disiya to keep her voice down.

"—!"

Disiya was a little angry, holding back her anger and said: "Aren't you afraid that this little girl will cause you trouble?"

"fine."

"She can't make any waves, and it's not her who's in trouble."

Rhodes said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I kept her for my own reasons. Look at when I did something that made me suffer."

"."

What he said was reasonable, and Disiya didn't know how to continue to persuade him.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

In the huge yard.

Apart from the sound of the cold wind, there was only the crackling sound of the bonfire burning.

After a long time.

Only then did Dixia take the initiative to speak.

"What are you going to do?"

"Are you just going to take her in?"

She considered reality, continued the topic just now, and continued to analyze for Rhodes: "She is suffering from magic scale disease. If she stays here, the situation will only get worse. If she dies here, it will be very troublesome. I heard that the decree There is a hospital that specializes in treating demonic scale disease, it seems to be called Vitality House, and it’s not far from Aru Village.”

Before she could finish speaking, Rhodes interrupted: "I won't let her go anywhere, especially that bullshit Vitality House."

"!?"

Disiya was startled, then reacted immediately: "Is there something wrong with the Vitality House?"

"has a problem?"

"Ah--"

Rhodes sneered: "That place is specially designed to trick people into doing human experiments. It is not a serious place to treat magic scale disease."

"what?"

This was the first time that Disiya knew about this, and she couldn't help but look shocked: "Is what you said true?"

Suddenly.

She thought of another thing, widened her eyes and said, "All the people with demon scale disease in the village have been sent there! If it's really like what you said, wouldn't that be true!!!"

"Hopeless."

Rhodes shook his head: "Anyone who goes in there can't come out like a normal person."

"no!"

"How can you ignore death and not save him!"

“Since that place is specially designed to harm people, why not rescue them!!!”

Desiya ignored what Rhodes said, and in a rage, she went to find Candice to discuss saving people.
