A white light flashed through the dusk, illuminating the entire sky at that moment.
"Rumble..." Thunder followed, deafening.
"Lisa?" A middle-aged woman's voice sounded.
The girl sitting by the window was shocked suddenly, then came to her senses, her slender white hands caressed her chest, "The lightning just now scared me!"
Lisa? is the name of this npc.
Cheng Mu said that she still entered the game copy as a restorer...
Usually the NPC identity assigned to the restorer by the game system is Xiao Transparent, and her first task is to identify and find Cheng Mu.
She put down the fruits in her hands, stood up, paced back and forth, and looked out the window worriedly.
"It's going to rain heavily soon."
"You don't have to worry about them, they will be back soon." The middle-aged woman came to Zhou Tang's side, put her generous and warm hands on her shoulders, and hugged her to comfort her.
Zhou Tang's face didn't change, and his heart was stable, but his left hand was rubbing the hem of his skirt.
Rough texture, dull color…
Looking around calmly, the interior is simple and shabby but the decoration is warm. It is obvious that the people living there are very careful in running the business...
She nodded and returned to her original position, continuing what she was doing, gathering fruits and vegetables and preparing meals.
The heavy rain was pouring down outside, and the "tick-tick-tick..." disturbed people's hearts.
The two of them worked hard day and night as before. The middle-aged woman's words were true. Those who went out came back in the rain.
"It's damn heavy rain!" The middle-aged woman stepped forward to take the middle-aged man's raincoat, and squatted down to take off the man's boots.
Of course, the two young men following the middle-aged man did not receive such treatment and had to take off their raincoats and boots themselves.
"Lisa!" one of the young men shouted with a trembling voice, "give us a cup of hot water, it's too cold for us."
Zhou Tang stood up, walked to the boiler, poured several glasses of water and delivered them to the man one by one.
The young man who called her took the water cup and drank it in one gulp. His whole body warmed up and he sighed, "Sister! What's wrong with you? Why are you silent?"
The middle-aged woman spontaneously helped explain, "Lisa was frightened by the thunder falling in front of her."
The young man sneered, but under the woman's stressed eyes, he patted Zhou Tang's shoulder with his big hand, "Sister, you don't have to worry about us! What does this little thunder and lightning and heavy rain mean?"
But Zhou Tang keenly discovered that the young man didn't mean what he said...
She meekly lowered her head and took away the empty cup. The woman also greeted her and brought the prepared meal to the table.
Everyone came to the table, and everyone had a bowl of sweet and delicious batter...
The men seemed to be very hungry, eating the batter with big mouthfuls and the fishy fish. The woman asked casually, "Why did the village chief ask you to go?"
Zhou Tang took a mouthful of batter with a spoon and put it into his mouth. His eyes slid across the crowd, only to find a strange look on the face of the silent young man who followed him at the end.
The middle-aged man replied vaguely, "It's just for those... sacrifices."
The young man answered, "Aunt Maggie, the village chief has arranged work for us all. Let us take turns to go to the town to keep vigil to ensure that... they are safe."
Suddenly, another dazzling white light flashed in front of the window, and thunder followed shortly after.
Zhou Tang maintained his character and trembled slightly.
The young man felt his sister's fear and said with a pun, "Don't be afraid, sister! We will protect you."
Zhou Tang naturally heard the sound and was very elegant. He forced a smile, but the smile disappeared in a flash, and the batter in his mouth was tasteless.
The silent young man subconsciously looked to the east, where was...
The woman saw the deep love between brothers and sisters, "Jay, Lorenzo, and Lisa care about you. You go out and listen more to Igor..."
Maggie chattered like countless elders and relatives, and Jay echoed it seriously, but Lorenzo started to lose focus after only listening to the first two sentences.
After finishing the meal, Zhou Tang also learned about the composition of this small family.
She and Jay are biological siblings. Unfortunately, both of their parents died, leaving behind a brother and sister who were less than ten years old and were eventually adopted by Aunt Maggie.
Lorenzo is the child of Maggie and Igor. They live in a village near the sea. Most of the people in the village have made a living by fishing for generations, and in most cases they can barely make ends meet...
Not far from the village, there is a small town called Shitou...
Zhou Tang stayed to help Aunt Maggie clean up.
After cleaning up, she returned to her small room and lay down on the small bed. There was a smell of moisture in the quilt. She didn't mind it and wrapped the quilt around her body to drive away the cold...
It was still raining outside. Now that she was unfamiliar with the place and the external environment was not good, she could only postpone her plan to find Cheng Mu.
Besides, what is the sacrifice in their mouth?
Is Stone Town also a dungeon map?
…
Zhou Tang thought about these things and slowly closed his eyes.
But she didn't know when, a deep voice woke her up, and she opened her eyes in a daze.
"Lorenzo, what do you want to do?" A low-pitched male voice came clearly into her ears.
Zhou Tang suddenly woke up, slowly got out of bed, and walked slowly towards the place where the sound came from...
"I can't do anything!" an angry voice sounded.
It's Jay and Lorenzo!
"You can't do anything now! It...it only takes one person...there are so many sacrifices." It sounded like Jay wanted to convince Lorenzo.
People = sacrifices?
Zhou Tang's eyes dimmed and he continued to hold his breath and eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.
"Lisa was not selected, so you can naturally relax!" Lorenzo said without hesitation.
"Lorenzo, what are you talking about?!" Apparently he touched Jay's reverse scale, "Do you have a heart? Lisa is also your sister!"
"Compared! I'm sorry!" Lorenzo's voice was filled with sadness, "I just..."
Jay no longer listened to his excuse. The sound of footsteps gradually faded away and disappeared completely with the sound of a "squeaking" door.
Lorenzo was left to suppress and cry bitterly...but due to Jay's interruption, Lorenzo's courage that he had not yet accumulated was slowly discouraged.
I don’t know how long it took, but footsteps sounded again and the door was closed...
The drama finally came to an end in the evening.
Zhou Tang climbed into bed and closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn. She looked at the swaying flowers on the small window sill and stood up immediately.
Aunt Maggie was the only one left in the house.
Zhou Tang apologized, "Aunt, I'm sorry, I got up late."
Maggie comforted her, "It rained heavily last night, which made it difficult for people to sleep well! You must be hungry, come and have breakfast."
Zhou Tang sat down at the dining table, looked at Maggie who was busy with her business, and asked casually, "Where are the brothers?"
Maggie's voice came from a little further away, "Igor will take them to Stone Town. The weather is not good for fishing, so why not go to the town and have a look? The village chief happens to be..."
Maggie didn't want to mention the sacrifice too much in front of her niece, and her voice became smaller and smaller...
Zhou Tang casually took a few bites, and after finishing the meal, he expressed to Maggie his desire to go out for a walk.
Maggie didn't stop her, she just told her, "Don't go too far! It's going to be rainy these days!"
