Chapter 1064: Visit
Following the address Sagina had told us, we found a small house in the middle of the Dark Alley district, with two purportedly dragons carved into the gate of the yard: both of them looked like starving bats. There is no doubt that this is the home of Sagina and Sona. However, after knocking on the door outside for a long time, no one still looked like they had come out.
"There's no one at home," shallow muttered in disappointment, reaching out and scratching the door, "Why don't you come back in the afternoon?" We're going to leave in two days, and I always feel like we should at least say goodbye to Sakina and the others before then. β
Before I could speak, Lilina shrugged her nose first, and then leaned on the courtyard door, frowning as if she smelled something: "There are two people inside, but the situation doesn't seem to be right, they are both very weak." Let's go inside! β
We were all stunned when Lilina's voice fell, but I had no doubt about the girl's words: she couldn't be wrong about this. So I nodded quickly, and was about to raise my leg, but Bing Teis had already taken out a mace with a bright face: "The concubine is responsible for opening the door!" β
Sandora took off the mace on the spot, and then clenched her fist and slammed it on Bingtis's head: there are not many people on the scene who can restrain Bingtis, and Shandora is one of them. Then a large group of us jumped directly down the wall: no matter what, we can't demolish people's houses.
Sagina and Sona live in a small courtyard, half of which is open space, and the other half is the most common flat-roofed house in the dark alley area, and the house seems to be divided into two parts, one half is a semi-open kitchen, and the other half is probably where people live. The yard was cleaned, and the dirt floor seemed to have been leveled just yesterday. There is also a fresh earth-colored, stone-made courtyard wall (the stone in this world seems to be really rich, even in places like the dark alley area, there are enough stones to build houses and paving) and some racks woven with rattan to dry the skins of the treated animals and some plant stems and leaves that we don't even see the usefulness of. In the corner of the yard we also saw piles of miscellaneous items, wooden planks, stones, metal sheets, all things that are not recognizable but seem to have been carefully selected. It feels like it's a place where scavengers live. In addition to the space occupied by these things, the rest of the yard is not big, and more than a dozen of us even feel a little bit unable to turn around when we stop in the yard, which shows how cramped the environment here is.
Lilina stretched out her hand and pointed to the house, which was made of stones, wood, and inconspicuous gray-white mortar: "People are in there, and there is a very weak life reaction, but it seems to be much more stable than just now. β
A large group of people were about to go over en masse on the spot, but they were stopped by their sister: "Just let Ah Jun and Lilina pass." You don't look at how many of us come. β
When I heard this, I turned around, okay, this big group of people walking on the street collectively is enough for major Weibo to reprint, and it is time to apply for demolition compensation when the hut in front of us can support half of us. So everyone stayed in the courtyard, and Lilina and I came to the door like thieves. I reached out to knock on the door, but on second thought, I reached out and pushed. As expected, the door opened: the rudimentary wooden door didn't look like it was locked, and there didn't seem to be much need to lock it in the dark alley area, as everyone here is. Who's stealing whom.
"Sakina? Sona? Are you there? As I walked inside, I asked out loud, though out of concern. But I always felt that this was a trespass, and I was embarrassed. It was a bit surprising that the cottage didn't look messy at all, and despite being in a run-down area like the Dark Alley and looking such a dilapidated house from the outside, the cottage was surprisingly tidy. A few simple pieces of furniture were clean and spotless, and apparently the owner had cleaned up the room yesterday. There was even a faint fragrance in the air, emanating from a bouquet of wildflowers on a small table in the center of the room, and on the sunny side of the hut was an old dressing table with several small bottles of unknown purpose on itβat first glance, they were used by girls, and it turned out that Sakina and Sona also used cosmetics. But it was different from the image of their gray faces tossed by the explosion they had made in the ruins of the ancient city. β¦,
The two half-dragon girls were lying on low beds on the other side of the hut, apparently unconscious and unconscious.
"Sakina, Sona!" I ran over and called the other person's name, but of course there was no response. I noticed that the two of them were still wearing pajamas - well, maybe pajamas, after all, I wasn't quite sure what the pajamas of this world were like, but the light clothes didn't look like they were wearing outside - and the pajamas meant that they hadn't woken up since at least last night. Sakina's face was as pale as paper, and although she couldn't see the expression of pain, her body was cold and frightening, and Sona's condition was even worse: she had already bitten her lip.
"Lilina, see what's going on?" The situation of the two of them seemed urgent, but I wasn't too nervous, they were still breathing, and I was surrounded by a demigod of life, nothing dangerous.
"It seems to be poisoned, there are toxins in the blood and bone marrow," Lilina glanced at them casually to determine the symptoms of the two, and then a green light condensed on their hands, covering their foreheads, "It's strange, the toxins invade very deeply, but they are not poisoned by food or other means, but as if these toxins are produced from their bodies." Well, it seems urgent, but they seem to have antibodies in their bodies, and they should be able to get through it on their own. Hawkers, I know the way, of course I will help them heal them. β
Lilina had to mumble for a long time even when she started working, in order to enhance her presence: she always seemed to worry about her lack of presence. As she spoke, the green halo had already diffused in the air, and there was a smell mixed with the fragrance of plants and sunshine around her, and the green light gradually sank under the pale skin of the two half-dragon girls, and after a second or two, Sakina's eyelids first twitched, and then slowly opened, and then Sona also regained consciousness.
"Hmm......" Sagina groaned in pain, though she opened her eyes. But it took a long time to focus her gaze, she looked at the figure in front of her with some confusion, as if she hadn't figured out why someone else would appear in her own house, "Eh, has it passed...... Well? Old...... Hallucinations. Strange, how could he see him in a hallucination. β
"Ahem, it's not an illusion, I'm at your house." I scratched my hair and couldn't help but say out loud.
Sakina's eyes widened. An exclamation: "Ah! How did you end up here! So even Sona next to her came to her senses, and the two half-dragon girls stared at this side with golden vertical pupils. I grinned and explained, "Didn't you say that we can come to you at any time, we may have to leave in a few days, so we wanted to say hello today, but after coming here, no one answered, we thought there might be a problem." That's it...... You don't mind if I trespass, do you? β
Sakina's mind didn't seem to be running at full speed yet, and she couldn't answer for a few seconds after hearing my words, so she nodded, "Oh, I see, we're fine." Just a little sequelae. β
The spirit of the two half-dragon girls recovered quickly, I put my mind at ease, took out two bottles of Anvina's handmade Qingshen herbal tea from the carry-on space and handed them to the other party: "Drink some water first, just unscrew this lid." What the hell is going on with you guys? How did you get poisoned? β
Sona took the bottle and thanked her, and said in a low voice, "Didn't we say that it was once raised by a mage as a medicine jar for testing poison for many years. Later, he escaped by being poisoned and faking his death. This is the sequelae, and every certain period, the toxins in the body will attack. It's been many years now. Therefore, when we go out to explore, we must carefully plan the time to prevent losing consciousness in the dangerous ruins. In fact, it's not a big deal, it's been such a long time, and the body is almost adapted, and the quality of the half-dragon people is very strong. ββ¦,
Sona said lightly, as if this kind of thing about reliving the feeling of being poisoned and dying every once in a while was a part of her daily life. I frowned, then laughed, "But don't worry about it from now on." Your body's problems have been solved. β
Sona froze, and asked in unison with Sakina, "What did you say?" β
"You should have been cleaned of all the toxins in your body, including the sequelae left by your body," I glanced at Lilina first, and after getting confirmation from the other party, I said to the two half-dragon girls in affirmation, "Don't you feel any changes?" β
Sagina frowned and raised her arm to look at it, and said uncertainly: "It seems to be a little easier, and the recovery speed after the sequelae has passed is much faster than before." With that, she turned her head to look at the sky outside, and finally exclaimed, "So early? Or in the morning?! β
"Don't look at me," I saw that the two half-dragon girls were looking at me with eager eyes at the same time, and I immediately pushed Lilina forward, "Introduction, it's just Lilina, my sister, she cured your disease, and that's what she's best at." β
Lilina immediately straightened her expression and folded her hands in front of her chest: "Remember the grace of the goddess, this is her strength - do you want the Bible?" Eight yuan a book, buy more than two can be discounted......"
"She took too much cold medicine when she was a child." I threw Lilina aside and explained to the two half-dragon girls, who were obviously not paying attention to Lilina's sales pitch or my explanation, they still had incredible expressions on their faces, and Sagina stammered, "The poison on our bodies...... Unraveled? How did you do that? All the pharmacists are helpless......"
"You've forgotten that castle," I said with a mysterious smile at Sakina, reminding her that she should get used to the incredible things we bring, "and with us, every day is a time to witness miracles. Okay, now that you're recovered, don't you change your clothes first? β
I turned my head slightly, stretched out my finger and pointed at them, the two half-dragon girls were still wearing pajamas, although they were not gone, but the light fabric could still well expose the wearer's figure, and the neckline of the pajamas was already low, their casual movements were about to be spring, maybe it was the reason for regular exercise, the two girls were quite good, although the scales on the skin looked a little strange...... Ahem, I didn't look at it, this can swear to Ding Dong, and after finding out that the situation is inappropriate, we can decisively divert our attention, you must know that there are more than a dozen members of the Three Aunts and Six Women Promotion Association waiting outside.
"Ahh Sona immediately let out a soft exclamation and looked at her embarrassedly with her chest covered, while Sagina shrugged her shoulders and muttered as she jumped out of bed to find clothes, "Just look at it." We're getting dressed. And he wants to see enough when we were in a coma just now...... Hmm...... Bang! Before Sagina finished speaking, her feet shook for a while, and then she fell to the ground.
"Sakina!" Sona immediately exclaimed, but the result was the same when she jumped out of bed: she shook her feet and fell like drunk. But she was lucky, there was a meat pad underneath. I hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them up, thinking that the toxins in their bodies were not cleared, but Sajina waved her hand: "Don't panic, don't panic, we have nothing to do." Tail, tail problem. β
"Tail?" Lilina and I were puzzled.
Sagina twisted her body to show me her thick tail covered with scales like a lizard: "If you want to have such a tail and lie on your back and sleep all night, try it: you can't feel it, you can't control your balance." Half-dragons can't sleep lying down, but they lost consciousness after the poison last night, probably holding their tails down while struggling. I'll find a place to sit first. ββ¦,
Me: "......" is a wonderful world. Right. But when I think about it, I don't feel too surprised when I think that I often crumple my wings, which makes it unstable to fly.
"Naw," Sona's voice interjected, sounding a little uneasy. "How can we thank you? Such kindness...... We really don't know how to thank him. β
Lilina popped out without saying a word: "Let's make a promise, my boss has a wide range of prey!" β
"Sew up your mouth with more." I glanced at the dead girl, and then waved my hand at the half-dragon girl who was a little uneasy, "It's just a gesture, they're all friends." β
I had just helped the rickety Sagina and Sona to the bed, when a shallow voice suddenly came from the courtyard: "Ah Jun! Jun! Okay, no! They're fine, are they? β
The voice...... It seems to be called shallow, right? Sona suddenly heard that it was shallow outside. Suddenly surprised, "I thought you were the only one here." β
"In fact...... Quite a bit. I smiled awkwardly and reached out to push open the window next to me. See for yourselves. β
Sagina glanced outside with her head and looked at me in horror: "Are you going to raid the house or kill the mouth?" β
I laughed, it was obvious that the other party was joking, and now Sakina is no longer hostile at all, but can make such jokes like ordinary friends, which is a good phenomenon. The two half-dragon girls took a break. I also tidied up my clothes before following me to the courtyard. A large group of people immediately swarmed up, and the momentum was so great that Sona and a slightly calmer girl were startled, and they still didn't feel very real, and they muttered vigorously: "It's really here." "It seems that the two of us didn't expect us to actually visit after leaving us the address that day, maybe in their opinion, even if we are wandering travelers, our group of people are not on the same road as the "lizardmen" explorers, and they didn't think that there would be more intersections.
I explained the situation of Sagina and the others a little, and when I heard that it was just a false alarm, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and shallow hugged Sona's arm familiarly: "It's okay if there's nothing to do, it's okay if there's nothing to do, in fact, I should have helped you get rid of the poison from the beginning, but Lilina wasn't with us at that time." By the way, Jun, I'm going to reward Lilina this time. β
Sona smiled unnaturally, and it was obvious that she was happy, but she was not used to being surrounded by a group of people: she and Sagina had never been cared for by so many people before.
Taking this opportunity, I introduced my sister, vanilla, and little crow to the two: "This is my sister, Chen Qian, who is very kind, and she is in charge of our housekeeping." These two sisters are Vanilla and Madison, both of whom are my sisters. β
Sajina nodded: "There are a bunch of daughters, and a bunch of older sisters, I feel like you're really amazing, but Mai Diwen doesn't look like your sister, eh, don't mind if I talk straight, she looks so special." β
"Don't worry about the details." I casually told the other party that we were going to leave in two days, and then asked in passing, "Speaking of which, you will continue to go out on an expedition in a few days, right, is there a purpose?" Maybe we'll be able to run into it if we continue our trip. "Since I'm wandering aimlessly in this world, it seems good to be able to find two locals who are familiar with the situation as guides, but Sakina and they still have their own lives after all, so I just asked in passing.
"That's at least seven days from now, the Hanging River will appear near Sentu in seven days, and we're going to set off from the Hanging River and turn around to Hengduan Canyon, where there are a few places where we can find the remains of Sombra, and we may make a small profit. However, in the past two days, we have to sell the things we have accumulated first, and most of the Imperial Bone Rock found from the ancient city last time was damaged by the explosion, and the two sets of equipment have also been scrapped, so we must quickly turn over the funds. "As soon as Sagina opened her mouth, she used to talk endlessly, and I didn't care if we laymen could understand what she said, but after she finished speaking, I felt dizzy, it was all about the explorer's business, and I didn't know what it was. However, it can be determined that the daily life of the two is also busy, and if they are constantly running for a living, I am afraid that it is impossible to travel with us leisurely.
Of course, maybe we can pay them to be guides; It is said that talking about money hurts feelings, but communicating with a stubborn half-dragon person may be a better way, but before I could speak, a little crow's cheerful cry suddenly came from not far away, interrupting my thoughts.
"Gah!" The little crow was still not used to greeting others in human language, she screamed happily, and jumped over with a silver shining metal plate, "Turn it out!" From there, I saw it first! β
The little crow said upside down, pointing to the piles of debris in the corner of the yard, and Vanilla stood beside it, her hands behind her back with an embarrassed expression.
"Why are you rummaging through other people's things," I looked at the stupid bird helplessly, apparently this guy who didn't have much common sense had just sneaked away to rummage through the things that Sagina and the others had brought out of the ruins, "I apologize to the two sisters...... Uh, what is this? β
My attention was drawn to the metal plate that the little crow was holding in his hand, and I couldn't help but take it and look at it over and over for a while.
It seems like...... It's a part of some kind of precision machinery.
