Minna asked timidly, “Who are you?” The man smiled and said, “Me? I’m a passerby, just wandering around to see if I can find a place to spend the night.” He looked up. Take a look at the dense canopy: “It’s not bad, is this your little world? Can you lend me a night’s sleep?”
Minna snorted and looked at him suspiciously: “But… this is just a tree.”
“But I think it’s pretty good. It’s summer anyway, and God doesn’t seem to mean rain. Staying overnight here not only saves money, but it’s also very cool.” The man stretched his limbs and leaned leisurely. On a big tree trunk, it’s like sitting on a comfortable sofa.
Minna hesitated after hearing his words: “But…there will be mosquitoes and bugs…”
The man smiled and stretched out a finger and shook it: “Don’t worry, I have thick skin and I’m not afraid of mosquitoes, and I have a secret weapon.” He flipped his wrist, and a slap-sized slap appeared on his palm. black wooden box decorated with several gems. He smiled mysteriously, opened the lid of the box, and a purple light emerged from the box. Ming Na moved her head curiously, only to feel that there was a glowing purple mist in the box.
Suddenly, a deep purple light shot out from the box, startling Minna. After a closer look, she realized that it was a thin glowing thread with a small black-gold ball the size of a thumb cap tied to the end of the thread. I don’t know what I hit in the air, and it quickly retracted into the box, and at the same time another line shot in the other direction, but this time it made a “chi” sound after hitting the thing, and the air was transmitted at the same time. Comes with a burnt smell.
Ming Na’s eyes widened and she looked at it a few times, only to realize that the small ball at the top of the purple light had touched insects such as mosquitoes and moths. It’s done. It seems to have a mysterious power that can make small insects disappear without a sound, and only makes a sound when it encounters larger insects. I don’t know how many “threads” there are in the box. Ming Na can see at most six of them appearing at the same time, and the longest one can shoot two meters away.
“This is the latest work of the chief alchemist of the Magic City, the mosquito repellent box. It is only effective for snakes, worms, rats and ants, and is harmless to the human body, mounts, and pets. It only sells for 20 gold coins and has a service life of three years. You can also enjoy personalization, and choose the shape and color of the box according to your own preferences.” The man looked at Ming Na, who had a dull face, and smiled, “It’s just to advertise for my friend by the way, please don’t mind. “
Minna didn’t mind, she didn’t understand at all, she just stared at the box and thought it was interesting. She looked at the man with a hint of longing in her eyes.
The man put the box into her hand amusingly: “I’ll give it to you, I still have it anyway. By the way, what’s your name?”
“My name is Minna.” Minna happily played with the box, turning on the switch, turning it on, and trying to close the lid of the box when the light came out, to see what would happen, but the thread hadn’t touched the bug yet, It sags down and hangs out of the box like an ordinary thread. When the lid of the box is reopened, it regains its spirit and kills a small flying ant nearby. She found it interesting, and tried closing the lid when the line was about to return to the box, stuck the ball out, or just grabbed a bug and threw it into the box to see how the box would react. Fortunately, this thing is worthy of being the work of the master alchemist, and she is still “spirited” and precise in her movements despite all the tossing.
Seeing that Ming Na was having a good time, the man smiled and hugged her, let her sit in his arms, and asked softly, “Xiao Mingna, can you tell me why you are crying here? ?”
Minna just remembered the sad thing just now, her nose was sore again, she closed the box and didn’t speak.
The man said, “Can’t you tell me? I just want to help you, maybe I can give you some advice?”
Ming Na tilted her head to look at him, this person made her feel very kind, and he gave her such an interesting thing, shouldn’t he be a bad person?
She thought about it, and then told the man what happened today, but she still remembered her father’s instructions and the serious consequences caused by her quick talk, so she didn’t say Veronica’s name and the way she used it. The thing about the knife scaring himself, he just said that it was a fierce woman who was locked in the study with his father and whispered.
The man listened and pondered: “It sounds like your father is just talking about some confidential things with that woman, otherwise it would not be in the study, but in the bedroom, and no one with a brain would know his wife. At home, you also bring women home to fool around. I think your mother just misunderstood, and sooner or later she will lose her temper. However, as a wife, she has no trust in her husband at all, and only makes noise, which is not a smart way to do it.” He He looked up at Ming Na and smiled: “What’s more, she shouldn’t have told you that she didn’t want you anymore. This is a great harm to children.”
Ming Na was at a loss, but she understood the last sentence: “My mother won’t hurt me…” But thinking that no one came to her after so long, she was a little unsure.
The man smiled and said, “Of course, parents always love their children the most. Where is your home? I’ll take you home? It’s not safe for a child to walk alone at night.” He saw Ming Na With the hesitation on his face, he smiled lightly: “Don’t let your parents worry, the disappearance of your beloved child will make them suffer.” The loneliness in his eyes flashed past.
As soon as Ming Na heard this, she hurriedly said, “Then let’s go back. My house is on the edge of the woods, the two-story house with the blue roof.”
The man glanced at the branches and leaves and quickly found the target: “It turns out that your home is so close, no wonder you dare to run into the woods alone at night.” He picked up Ming Na, Jump up. As they rose and fell on the branches several times, they reached the grass outside the forest in a blink of an eye. Ming Na only felt the sound of the wind ringing in her ears, and before she could understand the feeling of flying, the two were already standing in the small garden. She opened her mouth wide and stared blankly at the man holding her, only to see him smile slightly: “How is it? Cool?”
“Cool?” Ming Na blinked in confusion, but the man just smiled, looked around, carried her into the room, paid attention to the voices of the people in the room, and walked towards the hall.
======================I am the dividing line that changes the perspective =================== ===
Anlong and Dora actually didn’t notice that their daughter was missing, or even if they did, they wouldn’t worry about it, after all, Minna’s love to run around is already an old problem. The couple had been fighting, but Dora’s anger flared up again when she found out her husband was packing for tomorrow’s trip. Right now they had just finished arguing, and they were all sitting exhausted on the sofa in the hall.
Anlong rubbed his forehead and said weakly: “Why do you have to hold on to this matter? Veronica and I were talking about business in the study, and I just closed the door because I didn’t want to be heard. I told Minna not to tell others, because I was afraid you would misunderstand.”
“Since I’m afraid of misunderstanding, I shouldn’t do things that make people misunderstand.”
“Didn’t you let Goodwin come to the house too? And received a gift from him, an expensive gift!” He emphasized the words, “I didn’t say anything, and I didn’t get mad at you. “
Dora glared angrily: “I met him in the garden, in broad daylight, and Minna and the servants! It’s not the same as meeting you in the study! Besides, although his gifts are precious, they are nothing more than It’s just a dress. Because it’s the most popular style in Ito City this season, I just took it. Last year I wore a dress that was out of style to the May Day dance and was laughed at for three days! I just want to save you some face What’s more, don’t you know who is behind Goodwin?!”
Anlong was speechless when he came across this topic. He knew in his heart that his wife’s concerns were right. No matter what he thought of his half-brother, he couldn’t turn his back on Mrs. Mirabell. The rich life he had enjoyed since he was a child , which made it impossible for him to say no to the person surnamed Cardo. Therefore, although Goodwin Chuloff is only Elon’s brother-in-law, he still has to accept the other party’s visit, even if the other party may have some selfishness that he can’t bear.
Anlong was silent for a while, then said: “Can you really not accept my trip this time? I can swear to the God of Light that I went out this time for the purpose of being upright and bright.”
“Are you joking? Everyone knows that your descendants of the Xiao family are not believers of the God of Light! If it’s really upright and bright, why didn’t you tell me?” Dora sneered and pulled the corners of her mouth. Veronica has a shot. “No excuses, no quibbles! Anlong • Cardo, if you really go with that woman this time, I’ll go back to Matt Harbor right away!”
An Long had a headache. How could he just tell his family something about state secrets? But he didn’t want to destroy the relationship with his wife because of such a small misunderstanding. After thinking about it, he sighed: “I understand, don’t go if you don’t go.”
Dora looked at him with some surprise, and he smiled wryly: “You have said this, do I still have to be stubborn? But although I don’t go to Maiton, I want to go to the dwarves. It’s business.” Fortunately, Veronica sent a letter half an hour ago, and another task was assigned. Originally, he and Veronica planned to go back from Maicheng, but it was impossible to act separately. Save time. Although the original mission is very important, Nuojia is not an enemy country, and the Maicheng intelligence station is also well-staffed, not to mention Veronica’s guess is very likely, just to grab a certain **** from the woman’s bed and use it. No need for two master swordsmen.
When Dora heard this, her heart burst with joy, and she immediately remembered her wife’s duties that she had left behind because she was sulking with her husband: “It’s getting late, are you hungry? Shall I have dinner?”
At this moment, a light cough came from behind her. When she looked back, she saw a young man with black hair and black eyes holding his daughter Ming Na, standing at the entrance of the corridor, smiling and saying to the couple, “Very good. Sorry for the inconvenience. The two daughters were in the woods just now and seemed very sad, so I sent her back.”
Facing her mother’s stare, Ming Na shrank her neck timidly, afraid of being blamed by her again. But no matter how much Dora wanted to teach her daughter a lesson, she would never forget to maintain etiquette in front of her guests. This young guest, although he was wearing only ordinary clothes, was obviously not an ordinary person after listening to the tone of his voice and the demeanor in his gestures. She thanked him politely: “Thank you for bringing my daughter back, sir, we are looking for her.”
The man smiled slightly: “You’re welcome.” He seemed to realize that the young woman in front of him was a beautiful and elegant woman, subconsciously showing a graceful demeanor.
Dora paused and took a deep breath. She discovered the charm of the other party~IndoMTL.com~ but as a reserved, cautious and chaste lady, she decided to leave the matter to her husband, so she gave Anlong a wink and motioned him to greet the guest.
But what surprised her was that Anlong didn’t receive her hint, and stared at the guests impolitely, with shock and… resentment in his eyes? What the **** is going on? Does the husband know this person?
The guests obviously also noticed An Long’s eyes, and their hearts froze. He looked at the brown-haired and blue-eyed young man carefully. He seemed a little familiar? Is it the enemy that he had formed before? Or the nephew of the enemy? Just to comfort a little girl with kindness for a while will encounter enemies, his character is not too good, right? He slowly released the hand that was holding the little girl, and his right hand quietly leaned behind him, and began to prepare for the enemy’s attack.
Minna’s eyes widened, looking at the hilt of the sword that appeared on the man’s cuff. how can that be? When did he hide something so big in his sleeve? !
The man didn’t realize that his actions had already fallen into the eyes of the little girl. He just paid attention to the movements of the male host, looked at the layout of the hall, and was ready to retreat at any time. When he saw the two portraits hanging on the wall, he was stunned.
It’s him and…Merry?
“Anlong, what’s wrong with you? It’s so rude.” Dora was disturbed by her husband’s reaction and reminded him in a low voice.
The man was shocked when he heard the words, and the tense muscles on his body suddenly relaxed, but his eyes were very complicated when he looked at An Long: “You are… An Long? Xiao Anlong? You are… so old… over. Married and have children…”
An Long had a mocking smile on his face: “Yeah, it’s been so many years, it’s the first time you’ve seen me? Father.”
