People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

Then, she changed the topic and said with a tone that could not be refuted: "But everything must be done after the village's trial of them is over. Mr. Rhodes, do you understand?"

"very good."

Rhodes did not continue to insist on lynching at home and agreed with Candice.

It's enough if it can play a role in establishing authority. There is no need to go against the rules of the village.

Chapter 56 Just cry out

(The second half of Chapter 55 was rewritten yesterday. Anyone who hasn’t seen it can refresh it. I really feel that the writing is inappropriate and does not fit Candice’s character. It has been revised overnight.)

A burglary incident passed quickly.

of course.

This means that the incident has passed, but it does not mean that the subsequent impact of the incident can be easily overcome.

After Candice pronounced the sentence that the three thieves who were originally guards would be permanently expelled from Aru Village, Rhodes twisted the necks of these three people one by one 360 ​​degrees in front of all the villagers who came to watch.

This was the first time anyone dared to take action directly after the trial.

What surprised the villagers even more was that Candice didn't make any statement and just said calmly: "They are no longer protected by Aru Village."

As soon as these words came out.

Coupled with this, Rhodes' sharp eyes swept across the entire venue like an eagle.

Not to be messed with.

These three words quietly came to the hearts of the villagers.

in the next few days.

Discussions about this turmoil have never stopped in the village. This is basically what the villagers talk about after dinner.

It's just that Rhodes, as the person involved, has never been seen again since that day.

Rod's house.

Adebayi, who was seriously injured while protecting Kelai, has been staying here to recuperate for the past few days.

However, his performance did not look like he was seriously injured at all.

He was seen leaning on the bed in high spirits, drinking the medicine Kelai fed him sip after sip.

Outside.

After sending away the doctor invited from Kavanyi, Rhodes walked in shaking his head.

Adebayi's hands are useless.

The Black Flame Snake is no joke.

Fortunately, Kelai still retained her sanity when fighting the three thieves. Otherwise, if she had obeyed the demon and burst out with all her resentment, Adebayi would have been burned to ashes on the spot.

But even so.

Adebayi's hands were still irreversibly damaged.

And this is not only as simple as losing his hands, it also declares the end of Adebayi's academic career, and there is no longer any possibility of engaging in academic research.

"Why are you doing this?"

Rhodes has asked this question several times every day these days.

In his impression, Adebayi was a scholar who hated the desert people extremely, just like the old Roy who would rather seek death than teach the desert people.

But why is he suddenly willing to sacrifice his life to protect Kelai, a desert man suffering from magic scale disease?

only.

Every time Adebayi responded with a cold snort.

It seems that he is still brooding about the fact that Rhodes was so angry with him at the beginning.

"Ugh--"

There was nothing Rhode could do.

The past was before and the present is now.

In the past, in order to get Adebayi to focus on himself, he could look for opportunities to obtain plant grafting and hybridization techniques from him.

Now that Adebayi almost died for Kelai, no matter how cold-blooded Rhodes was, he would not be so impersonal that he would continue to harm him.

After thinking about it for a while.

Rhodes, who was unwilling to give up, continued: "I know you don't want to talk to me, but I suggest you take care of Kelai's emotions."

"After you were injured."

Having said this, Rhodes paused and glanced at Kelai, who was silent and just feeding medicine like a machine, and said helplessly: "She blames herself and is also worried about you."

Hearing Collet's name.

Adebayi's stern face finally relaxed a little, and it was the first time he took the initiative to talk to Rhodes since he came in.

It's just that these words don't sound very nice.

What he said was: "Do you want to take care of my affairs?"

"Why don't you let me take care of it?"

"I killed those three thieves, I provided for your food and drink, and I even paid for your medical expenses. Then I have to take care of the chicken coops and pig houses every day, and I have to water and fertilize the fields. "

Rhode pointed at his eye sockets and said, "Look, the dark circles are coming out."

"Yes! You deserve it!"

"Don't you know what your level is?"

"With your level, you dare to keep this and that here? Pah, you'll be exhausted to death!"

Adebayi conducted a merciless criticism of the farming research that Rhodes was most proud of.

His eloquence is very good.

It made Rhodes sweat profusely.

You guessed it right.

This guy really has a sufficient reserve of knowledge about the Sheng Lun Sect.

He has obviously never been to Rhodes' house.

But he could tell at once that some mushroom chickens had died inexplicably in the chicken coop.

Compared to Rhodes, who is half-assed.

Adebayi is the real expert in this field.

Hence his criticism.

Rhodes didn't refute a word and listened honestly and humbly.

All said.

Live and learn.

Knowledge is endless, and with such an expert here, if he is willing to give Rhodes some pointers, then it doesn't matter if he is ridiculed a few times.

I scolded him for a long time.

Adebayi was tired of scolding, so he coughed and cleared his throat.

Ke Lai, who was at the bedside, understood and immediately poured a cup of hot tea and fed Adebayi to drink it.

After drinking.

Looking at Kelai, who was still in a depressed state, Adebayi changed his sarcastic manner when talking to Rhodes, squeezed out a smile and said: "Little guy, what are you blaming yourself for? Look, I don't even It’s your fault, you don’t have to torture yourself like this.”

"I"

Hearing this, Kelai bit his lip tightly, and tears instantly filled his eyes.

But she said nothing.

He just lowered his head.

Soon, sobs filled the room.

How could you not blame yourself?

If it wasn't because she couldn't control herself and was bewitched by the demon's resentment, how could she have hurt Adebayi like this!

"Oh, okay, okay, why are you crying?"

"Look, am I okay? I'm still alive and kicking!"

Adebayi raised his bandaged right hand and tried to touch Kelai's head.

Just who he is now.

This simply cannot be done.

So he found another way to tease Kelai.

He raised his hand and patted his chest, and said with a smile: "Look, I am injured, but aren't we all the same now?"

his meaning.

But now, like Kelai, he is covered with bandages.

only.

Adebayi's injury has not healed yet.

With this slap, he immediately hissed in pain and grinned.

And seeing the way he kept shaking his hands.

Kelai, who was still crying just now, actually broke down in tears and smiled.

But after this smile, he cried even harder.

What was originally just a small sob held in there, is now simply crying loudly.

Sobs and cries.

Adebayi was immediately at a loss. He didn't know where to put his injured hands that were covered with bandages.

Upon seeing this, Rhodes did not step forward to join the team that persuaded Cole, but quietly retreated.

Cry, cry.

Just cry.

I'm just afraid that Ke Lai won't be able to cry anymore and keeps these things in his heart. That would be terrible.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 57 Because I have seen gods before

In short.

The development of fate is so wonderful.

Rhodes and Adebayi, two enemies who looked down upon each other, ended up living together by chance because of a theft incident.

But even if Rhodes found the best doctor in Kavanyi and used the best medicine to treat injuries, Adaba still has no ability to take care of himself.

Although Xumi's medical level is second to none in the entire Teyvat, he is not so strong that he can regenerate people even if his skin and flesh are gone.

In addition, Adebayi resolutely rejected Candice's suggestion to rest in the village.

Therefore, the burden of taking care of him fell entirely on Rod and Cole.

Suddenly there is one more person in the family.

For Rhodes, even though almost half a month has passed, he still feels a little uncomfortable.
