Chapter 139: Lori returns
"Something sweet, like juice. Arnold smacked the corners of his lips and gave an evaluation.
"Don't worry, there will be enough potion pipes in the future. The corners of Downton's eyes twitched as he watched Arnold's intoxicated expression, and he thought of how he felt when he first got the potion.
Poor shijie, I can't afford to hurt it!
"Come out!" Arnold was still scolding, and Jackson next to him directly pulled the trigger and fired a crossbow arrow.
Ah, a cry of terror suddenly rang out!
"Damn, I told you not to move, don't scream, look, you've been found now, right?" a tender and childish voice broke the silence of the night.
Arnold was about to pounce on the sound when he was stopped by Downton.
"I know!" Downton explained, meeting the barbarian's puzzled gaze, the shout all too familiar to him, the beaten goblin pet.
"Master, I didn't mean to, I was bitten by a bug!" Before the hapless goblin could finish speaking, his voice turned into a wail.
"Let you quibble, let you question Lord Walnut!"
Little Walnut was very angry, and pressed the goblin and beat him fatly.
"Master, I was wrong, if I hit me again, I will die. The goblin cried, and then, like a rabbit being chased by a violent bear, threw itself out of the grass, but after a few steps it had not yet taken a few steps, the rope around its neck suddenly straightened, and it fell to the ground.
Just like fishing, the hapless goblin was dragged back.
"Don't!" the goblin's hands flailed wildly, clutching at the weeds around him, and even grasping the ravines on the ground, but to no avail, he finally drowned in the grass.
"How dare you run away?"
With the question of little Lori, there was another terrible scream.
"Little Walnut, stop fighting, it's going to die. Downton smiled and shook his head.
The shaking artemisia grass suddenly fell silent. Only the goblin snorted badly, but it soon turned into a voice, apparently covered by little Lori's mouth.
Arnold poked Downton on the waist and pointed to the artemisia grass in the direction of ten o'clock, which fell in waves in the moonlight. And there is a cowhide backpack like a small mountain bag, which is moving slowly.
That's a little Lori is shifting strategically!
"Don't hide, I see you. Downton couldn't help but laugh, he could imagine the cute appearance of little Lori pouting her ass and running away on the ground.
"Jihua failed, it's so hateful. Little Walnut stood up angrily, holding the rope in one hand, holding the goblin in one hand, and a handful of artemisia grass in the other, and holding it on her head. As a cover-up.
"How did you get here? Is that the one who followed us just now?" Downton's brow furrowed, and he couldn't help but reproach, "How dangerous it is to walk alone at night, you have to learn to take care of yourself." ”
"Hee-hee!" Although she was scolded, Xiao Hu Taomei smiled and was very happy, she liked the feeling of being cared for.
Arnold and his cronies were stunned. Because they saw a little Lori who was only seven or eight years old walking out with a big backpack that didn't talk like words, behind her. And a goblin in his hand.
The goblin was injured and couldn't walk fast, so she dragged him to the ground and dragged him hard.
Hiss, watching the unlucky goblin's face rub the ground and occasionally knock on the stone. Even Arnold gasped.
Downton squatted down and patted the dust on Hu Tao's body, and the little Lori had sweat stains on her body that had not yet dried, which made him feel a little distressed, "You followed us all the way?"
Hu Tao nodded.
"Weishenme?" Arnold was puzzled.
"When I left a week ago. I ran into a group of robbers, they said they were going to rob the Dagger mine, I remembered that you were there, so I returned to the town of Morning Mist, ready to go to the mine to remind you, but I didn't expect to run into you, so I followed. Hu Tao didn't say that she was ready to repay Downton and help him 'get through the difficulties'.
"Don't you come out directly, do you have to follow?" The cronies felt that this little Lori was not normal, especially when they saw that she was carrying such a big bag, the bloodline must be special.
Hu Tao lowered his head and drew circles on the ground with his toes.
"Are you trying to protect me secretly, and when the robbers appear, you suddenly jump out, give them a surprise attack, and kill them all?"
"Well, well, it was originally like this, it's great, isn't it? It's great, it's a tactic I came up with!" Hu Tao was very excited, showing off like a treasure, but the little face immediately collapsed, very lost, "It's a pity that I failed, and I was ruined by this idiot." ”
Little Lori got angry again, pulled the rope, and dragged the pet goblin who was hiding far away, and punched and kicked again.
"Let him go!" Downton touched little Lori's head and admonished her, "Don't do that in the future, this tactic won't work." ”
"Weishenme?" Hu Tao tilted his head, stunned.
"Because you are alone, when you are taken by surprise, the troops you carry are not enough to shake the enemy's morale. "Downton said that a little Lori came out, and the enemy would laugh off his big teeth.
"What then, I'm just alone?" Hu Tao wrenched his fingers and counted the number, "plus it, it's only two, and it looks like I'm going to catch some more goblins." ”
Poof, poof, the cronies couldn't hold back any longer and laughed, and even Arnold cracked his mouth and scratched his scalp with a smile.
"This little Lori is a natural stay, right? The poor combat power of the goblins, even if there are a thousand, it is for nothing. The cronies didn't have any ill intentions, they just teased casually.
"Look down on the goblin, Abagon, bite him!" Hu Tao was arrogant, although she often beat up the hapless goblin, but she did not allow others to look down on Abagon.
Haha, hearing the emaciated goblin's name Abagon, the crowd burst into laughter again.
Abagorn was helpless, and apparently had a similar experience, lying directly on the ground, learning to bark as a dog, and baring his teeth at his cronies.
"Okay, stop laughing, go dig a pit and bury the body. Downton was grateful for Hu Tao's thoughts, "How are you doing? Have you eaten?"
"It's miserable. Abagun interjected, pointing to his bony chest, "I'm hungry!"
This green-skinned goblin, who is less than a meter tall, still lives a miserable life as always, and every day after dinner will be routinely beaten, and the owner of the walnut is in a good mood to beat, and he is in a bad mood. To make it even worse, it was wearing only a pair of linen pants, and the bruises and blood stains were obvious.
"Hmph, the children you ate are impossible to be beaten and scolded by their father and mother. Hu Tao kicked Abagun again. "What's bad to eat? Do you have to eat people?"
Abagon pouted, there was bitterness and could not be said, in their opinion, humans are similar to turkeys, weishenme can not eat?
Downton took a loaf of bread from his backpack and tossed it to Abagon.
Abagon was grateful.
After dealing with all the trivial matters, it was already late at night when Downton took the people back to the Dagger Mine.
"Let's sleep here today, and I'll arrange a dormitory for you tomorrow. Downton opened the door. After walking in, he dropped his backpack on the bed, "Do you want to take a shower, the bathroom has hot water all day long." ”
Hu Tao grabbed the strap of his backpack and stood at the door, looking at the neat and tidy room, and was about to step his legs, when he stopped again. I looked down.
Little Lori's clothes are shabby and covered in dust and stains. She was worried about soiling Downton's house.
"There's a balcony and a bathroom, and there's a kitchen, Lord Downton, and you seem to be in a high position!" said Abagon, who craned his neck and glanced at it, and then ran eagerly into the dormitory, but he didn't take a few steps. was pulled by Hu Tao fiercely.
Uh, Abagun let out a scream, and as the rope straightened, his whole body fell backwards to the floor, and he was dragged out again.
"What's wrong?" Downton was puzzled.
"She's worried about soiling your room. "Abagun had fun. Explained, I used to follow the little master, and I slept in the open every day, either in the wild, or overnight next to the garbage can in the town, and I haven't slept in a warm bed for more than half a year, so it's strange if it's not dirty.
Of course, the Downton home was an exception.
Little Lori's cheeks flushed, and she was disgusted with the goblin's mouth, and kicked it.
"Hehe, I'm worried you don't want to live here. "Come in, take a shower, have a hearty supper, and then sleep soundly, and all the tiredness and troubles will fly away." ”
Hu Tao nodded, patted the dust on his clothes, and walked in, but he was stuck.
The mountain-shaped backpack was so big that Hu Tao obviously didn't find the reason, so he grabbed the bag strap for some reason and began to rush hard.
Bang!
The door frame of the backpack struck a little shaky.
Little Lori struggled to step forward, pulling the straps of her backpack apart, and then finally overwhelmed and snapped off.
Hu Tao lost his balance, took a few steps forward, and fell to the ground, but before he could hit the ground, he fell into a warm embrace.
"Be careful. Downton patted Lori's head, helped her take her backpack in, and closed the door, "Do you wash it yourself, or will I help you?"
"Myself!" Hu Tao deliberately looked left and right, and put her voice high to deliberately hide her emotions, but from the reddened neck and cheeks, it could still be seen that she felt embarrassed by her reckless behavior just now.
"Well, I'm going to make a late-night snack. "There wasn't much time left before dawn, and Downton gave up on cultivation and potions.
Little Lori took out a new set of clothes from her backpack, walked a few steps, remembered Abagun again, and quickly ran over and dragged it into the corridor.
"Stay here, and if you dare to run away, I'll break your legs. Lori tied the rope to the doorknob and gave a warning.
Abagorn looked respectful, and didn't weep until Hu Tao left, but soon laughed again, because little Lori showed her head in the crack in the door.
"Pay attention to your behavior, don't embarrass Lord Walnut, or you will still break a leg. Hu Tao glared at Abagon, then threw out a large chunk of smoked ham, two loaves of bread, and a bottle of butter.
Downton leaned against the kitchen counter, stirring meat porridge with one hand, looking at the potions illustrated book with the other, hearing the sound outside, he couldn't help laughing, in fact, little Lori was very kind, beating Abagon, although it was to punish, but it was still ordered, otherwise it would have been abused to death.
