"Sit down, sit down, you're welcome..."
The mother greeted the two girls very enthusiastically. The level of enthusiasm made everyone on the other side feel a little at a loss. Even the always peaceful Platycodon was not calm, let alone the whole person was confused and couldn't understand what was going on. A white-haired girl.
She sat on the sofa very sensitively and uneasily, holding the tea cup in her hand, biting her lower lip gently, her eyes subconsciously feeling a little erratic, as if she was carefully sizing up the surrounding environment, observing suitable escape routes, as if Instinct and habitual actions.
But the only ones who could notice this were Gu Mo and Ji Jing.
In addition, in the eyes of ordinary people, this girl probably thinks that she is very reserved.
"You kid..."
The father also looked pleased, but turned around and dragged Gu Mo into the kitchen.
He looked at his son up and down with a strange expression: "It's really okay. You can make such a big news quietly, but you didn't consider whether our hearts can accept it?"
"Actually, we are just friends..." Gu Mo blinked.
"Come on, what's the holiday today? Do you dare to say that I'm just a friend when I come back with you?" The old father obviously didn't like this. He waved to him vigorously, with an obvious look of disgust on his face. , "But what kind of ecstasy soup did your boy pour into them? How did you convince the two girls to come back with you..."
The old father was also puzzled. When did this kid quietly become such a scumbag? With such firm thoughts and evaluations, this middle-aged man, who was always optimistic and open-minded, looked at Gu Mo with complicated eyes, just like his mood at this moment.
"Actually, I only invited Platycodon..." Gu Mo explained to himself seriously, "Xili... is another girl. She actually just came out suddenly. Frankly speaking, I was also surprised, but... We can’t leave her alone, we can only bring her in together.”
"You provoked the girl, and they came to her door to ask for an explanation. Are you still surprised? You can't just ignore her, so you brought her in with her?" The old father's eyes suddenly became more complicated. This boy seemed not to know what he was doing. I feel like I'm a little crooked, and it's ridiculously crooked.
The mother here is still worried about the child not being able to find a partner in the future, but he is so good over there that he just turned around and brought two girls back...
"By the way, Dad, I came back this time to bring you some good things..." Gu Mo tilted his head and changed the subject in a natural tone.
"Don't pretend to be stupid, you are already making a principled mistake... Hey, hey, listen to what I have to say, what are you going to do now?" The father said seriously, wanting to give the boy a lesson, but he hadn't finished yet. , and found that this kid turned around and was about to walk out, and quickly grabbed him.
"I'm going to drive the other one out right now! Don't worry, I will never make a principled mistake!" Gu Mo promised seriously.
"Stop, stop! You kid... Hey, forget it, it's your own business anyway, you can handle it yourself." Dad's brows jumped a few times, and finally he could only say this with a sigh, although he also It feels very inappropriate, but the situation is already like this, so we can't really kick people out.
"Actually, it's not what you think, it's just...that girl is a bit special, so I can't let her leave like this. You can just treat her as an ordinary guest."
Gu Mo spread his hands. After recognizing who the white-haired girl who suddenly appeared and knocked him over was, he couldn't let the other person go away like this, but he couldn't use too strong methods. Keep the other party, so it becomes like this.
However, he has seen a lot and has experienced many storms. He is also quite calm about this, and even somewhat disapproving of it. As he said, he treats it as a friend he suddenly met and as an ordinary person. Just let the guests take a look.
It's a pity that the old father probably doesn't have the nerve like him. He was muttering about how to treat the two girls as ordinary guests. Then he seemed to think of something and asked: "By the way, that Is she a shrine maiden from Japan?"
Kikyo's attire is still a very classic white coat and red skirt, because it is so unique that it is not strange to be recognized and misunderstood...or maybe it is not a misunderstanding, after all, that is the same thing.
"Yes, she is indeed a witch." Gu Mo replied calmly.
He wasn't worried about what his parents might think of him. After all, they were basically classic characters from the older generation who were insulated from anime dramas, so it was completely impossible to recognize Kikyo, just like they couldn't recognize Xi. In this regard, he doesn't even need help in disguise.
"This girl feels really good. You'd better take advantage of it..." The old father nodded happily. The impression given by the witch was really good.
As for the other one, he was a little unsure. What should he say? To use a more euphemistic way of describing it, maybe that girl seems a little too...emmmmm, too fashionable and avant-garde?
——That should be what it is...
——Those young people today are talking about cosplay and the like...
After all, miko is relatively easy to understand and accept, and you don’t necessarily need to understand elements such as anime and dramas. This profession is still active in Japan until modern times. But in contrast, the white-haired girl's witcher attire and the silver sword she carried were a bit beyond common sense...
Naturally, this middle-aged man can only try to understand in this direction. This is also the only possibility he can think of.
"Let's talk about this kind of thing later. By the way, I really brought back some useful supplements for you two this time..." Gu Mo blinked and deliberately changed the subject, "Both you and my mother have a share. If you insist on taking this every day, it is really useful..."
The legacy of the old immortal is a priceless treasure. Many treasures inside are only worth digging deeper. And just the dozens of ancient prescriptions for precious life-extending tonics are already an unimaginable wealth. It is no exaggeration to say that , even with these ancient methods, Gu Mo can have the confidence to cause a big earthquake in the real world from top to bottom.
After all, you must know that more than 99% of the world's resources are in the hands of less than 1% of people.
And how many of these less than one percent of people are in the stage of health, vitality, and youth, not caring at all about the problems caused by the gradual aging of the body, and not at all eager to have more vitality, more What about life span...
As age continues to increase, physical health deteriorates, and the fear of death and aging is the most powerless. When this fear reaches its maximum, it becomes even crazy, and you are willing to believe in the slim probability and believe in yourself. Even the special one is willing to pay the price.
Maybe it’s not that you don’t know, but fear can make people less rational.
They are the most powerful, the most wealthy, and have the most resources in the world. But because of this, they often cannot afford to pay out...
In fact, Gu Mo has already thought about making some articles based on this. There are immortals on Penglai Island, and the appearance of the fairy mountain on the sea that contains the theory of immortality is just a signal released. How to arrange the follow-up depends on whether it can lead to How many people are coming?
"What kind of supplements are you bringing? It's a waste of money. We are very healthy and don't need such things..." The old father didn't know the inside story and seemed disapproving of this.
However, Gu Mo also knew his temper, and he just said lightly: "I bought everything anyway, and I can't return it."
"Okay, okay, your mother and I will watch and eat some..." The old father waved his hands helplessly. He felt that health products and so on were actually IQ taxes, but since it was this kid's filial piety, there was nothing he could do. After all, he bought everything... Until now, he still doesn't understand how much higher this thing is than the imagined IQ tax.
Although limited by time and conditions, there is currently only one tonic that can be made directly. This is because all the corresponding medicinal plants are planted in the bonsai cave. As for other recipes, several medicinal materials are more or less missing. , resulting in no way to complete it for the time being.
Compared with other more demanding prescriptions, although the tonic that can be directly made is relatively rudimentary, the effect is very good.
After all, it is also one of the secret treasures of the immortals, and it is naturally a rare panacea in the world.
Gu Mo is not familiar with medicine or pharmacology, but he can see the specific attribute page, so he knows that this tonic can regulate the human body well, make the qi and blood flow smoothly, and has the effect of extending life by five to ten years. The specific effect depends on It depends on the physical condition of the user, everyone is different...
If the upper limit of the drug's efficacy has been reached, then taking the same tonic repeatedly will have no effect.
Just so as not to scare the two elders, he divided it into multiple parts. Although the efficacy of the medicine will be lost, it can be compensated by the quantity... This way can achieve the desired effect and make the process appear moisturizing and delicate. Silently, it happens and is completed naturally and unconsciously.
"Okay, you go out and stay with me, and ask your mother to come in and cook together. Don't act like checking your household registration. Be careful not to scare the girl." Looking across the kitchen to the window sill of the living room, the old father looked at Glancing outside, my mother was asking the two girls enthusiastically.
The miko was relatively calm, but the white-haired girl was obviously very restless.
After all, relatively speaking, she was the one who really didn't understand the situation at all. Traveling to this strange world, and having her identity revealed by a stranger, that moment was enough for her to have too many associations. …
It was as if she couldn't escape no matter how hard she tried. The web of fate was tightening inch by inch, finally suffocating her. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't really get rid of the pursuit that followed her. Even the hunter was still early. Just waiting in front of her to escape, waiting for her to rush into the trap...
But what happened next made the white-haired girl realize that she was overthinking.
When the person on the other side was about to strike first, he easily restrained himself, but he didn't do anything else. Instead, he said a few strange words... He was a little concerned and thought that he might not be able to escape, so the girl bit him. He gritted his teeth and followed him into the house.
It's just that, in a sense, things seem to be getting worse...
What on earth is this doing?
Why are you sitting here?
This woman keeps questioning herself. Is this some kind of interrogation?
Too many doubts were surging in the girl's mind. She tried hard to maintain a stiff smile on her face and responded to the questions of the kind middle-aged woman in front of her. Fortunately, it all ended soon. As the old father shouted in the kitchen, my mother stood up and went in to help.
"I can cook too..." When his parents pushed him out of the kitchen in disgust, Gu Mo, who didn't want to go out, was still trying to argue. It was rare for him to go home once, and he planned to give it a good meal. The two old men showed off their skills, but were despised, saying that he could indeed cook, but that was only limited to cooking.
Who are you looking down on? Although it is true that Gu Mo only knows how to use a rice cooker and does not know any cooking recipes, this does not prevent him from making unscientific luminous dishes that are comparable to those in gourmet shows!
Perception is reality, and lies rewrite "truth."
Although it is not possible to commit fraud that involves too high a level or too large a scale, it is not too difficult to fabricate such a lie. It is a pity that the hero has no place to play. He really wants to prove himself, but the two elders have no intention of doing so. Give him such a chance.
Somewhat disappointedly, he returned to the living room and sat down. Gu Mo reached for the teapot and calmly refilled all the cups with tea.
"Thank you, thank you..." The white-haired girl subconsciously thanked her.
"You're welcome." Gu Mo nodded and responded politely.
"..."
"..."
After a brief silence, the white-haired girl held the cup in her hand and stared at it. After a moment, she seemed to have made up her mind and raised her head, looking at the man opposite who was calmly sipping tea and holding the remote control in one hand. A young man who changes channels on the TV over and over again.
"I know, you are Siliya Fiona Ellen Lianlen, the princess of Cintra, the princess of Nilfgaard, and the inheritor of the ancient blood..." Gu Mo was very calm. He started to speak, and the hand that was pressing the remote control stopped. An interview about the modern version of Peach Blossom Spring was being replayed on the news.
Fortunately, after figuring out the origin world of the golem making process, he went to look up the information and happened to remember such a name. Otherwise, he really couldn't tell it now.
The miko glanced at him calmly, then looked at the white-haired girl thoughtfully.
"..."
"..."
"You...I..." After finally reacting, Shirley felt a little stuck. Before she could ask the question, the other party had already answered, and the question she had prepared was still stuck in her throat, and she couldn't speak. Stop, I don't know if I should speak it out or swallow it back.
The process is still hanging, but unresponsive.
"Your mental fluctuations are too violent and obvious. It's easy for me to distinguish. It's like you write your thoughts on your face..." Gu Mo put down the remote control in his hand and turned around with a smile to explain. , said in a very cheerful tone, "But you don't have to worry too much, I am not a wild hunter, and I am not interested in the blood of the ancients."
In fact, she is quite interested, but at the moment it is mainly to appease the girl's sensitive nerves. Saying that she is not interested may not necessarily convince Ciri immediately, but saying that she is very interested will definitely be enough to stimulate this swallow.
Xili's expression softened slightly. Of course, she didn't immediately believe this statement, but the other party's attitude at least sent a good signal.
She hesitated and looked at the two people in front of her, and asked hesitantly: "You... who are you?"
If it wasn't for the secrets contained in his blood, why would this person know about himself?
"Your question is a bit difficult to answer. Although I really want to say that I am just an ordinary person, but... you see, this suspicious look immediately appeared." The young man opposite stretched out a slender index finger and lightly He lightly scratched his cheek. Regarding such a question, what kind of answer should be given to be convincing?
Thinking quickly, he exhaled softly: "Just think of me as a traveler. In fact, in a sense, I am almost like you..."
Traveler? Similar to yourself?
Doubts arose in her heart, and Xili frowned tightly. What on earth does this mean?
"Like you, I can travel between different worlds..." Glancing at the witch next to him, Gu Mo said thoughtfully, taking this opportunity to explain, "This is my ability and my way of survival. , so just like you, I usually travel in different worlds..."
"What?" Xili was slightly stunned, "Are you also the heir of the ancient blood?"
"I don't have anything like that... I'm just an ordinary human being."
Gu Mo spread his hands. The ancient blood is the blood of the original elves in the world of this time traveler. It is a powerful elf curse passed down from generation to generation. It is also a very rare talent. It is said that people with this blood can control time and In space, one can reach a realm that even the elves and sages can’t reach.
Although this is just a legend, it still attracts the covetousness of countless careerists. As a person who has completely inherited the ancient blood, the white-haired girl is naturally being hunted all the time.
"Ordinary humans..." Xili's eyes flickered, she would not believe such nonsense.
But if this person does have the same ability, whether he masters this power because of his bloodline or other reasons, then maybe he is really the same as himself... No, actually it is not the same, he is just different. He is constantly escaping between different worlds, but the other party seems to be traveling as he pleases?
The kindness and recognition that had just emerged in her heart suddenly turned into a kind of helplessness and estrangement, and Xili smiled bitterly in her heart.
She thought about it seriously and asked tentatively: "Are you really not here for the ancient blood?"
"No, it was you who suddenly rushed out and bumped into me. I didn't catch you on my own initiative... You must also understand this." Gu Mo replied calmly.
"Then can I leave?"
"Of course... no." Gu Mo still answered very calmly.
really! Xili gritted her teeth secretly. She knew that there was no such good thing. She couldn't believe a word of the other party's words. They were definitely coming for her. How could she let herself leave so easily...
"You just hit me seriously and injured me, and you even broke my things, and you still want to just walk away like that?" The young man opposite said in a very calm tone, and at the same time he stretched out his hand, and there was a long list in front of him. He pulled it out in his hand and said, "This is my medical expenses, as well as the specific compensation for the things you damaged. Once the settlement is clear, you can leave."
"You, you... are you seriously injured?" Xili stared at him in disbelief.
Who are you kidding?
"Then I don't need you to pay for the medical expenses. You have to pay for the damaged things..." Gu Mo said without changing his expression, "Just erase this part of the money and pay the rest."
The white-haired girl was silent.
