165 Eat an orange

Lan Li didn't know that he would be directly caught by the door one step later, but he did not walk far away at this time, but instead squatted on a reef on the beach outside the fishing village, staring at the brown-black octopus shaking his limbs in the sea water below, thinking.

Without touching, he could clearly sense a special emotion emanating from the octopus, close, proud, depressed...

The octopus following behind his butt was always very close to the boy's existence. The frustration may be caused by the other party's swaying for most of the day but not being caught up, but that pride made Ren Li a little confused.

He glanced for a long time and finally found something special.

"Have your body grown?"

The boy touched his chin unconsciously, then rolled up his trouser legs and jumped down to pull the octopus out of the water. The smooth touch made him feel quite disgusting, but the feeling of holding it in his hand was indeed much heavier than before.

"So are you still a child?"

Staring at the ugly thing in front of him that smelled fishy, ​​he muttered so much, but he believed in another possibility in his heart.

At first, the octopus was alienated, but after the alienation, it was able to wisely and actively exude emotions with Lan Li and follow her butt reluctantly, but it did not see any special place.

Later, Lan Li had a sudden idea and fed it an ancient Taoist seed, and then...

Then there was no special change. Just through the axe sign, he could detect that the octopus occasionally attacked the fish in the sea when he lived alone at the bottom of the sea, and his "character" became a little more irritable, but completely different from the arrogant appearance of the mouse, it still maintained "rationality".

At this point, its size is likely to be due to feedback from the ancient Taoist seeds.

After throwing this thing into the sea casually, Lan Li thought about it for a while, and finally shook her head, stopped thinking about it, and turned toward her destination.

The iron-ministered couple who took him in thought that Renly was going to Seal Skin Corner, but in fact his destination was a place called Pebble Town to the east of the fishing village.

At this time, a ship was about to set sail and headed towards a place called Haijiang City in the riverside of Westeros - and now another war was taking place there beside Fairy Island.

...

Pebble Town is located in the southeast corner of Great Wick Island, close to the coastline. The stone buildings in the town are arranged in a crowded and messy manner. Apart from clearly seeing that they are surrounded by a square castle, there is no plan to see.

There are basically fishermen living here, and thousands of them walk on the muddy roads in the town. One old town people dressed by fishermen can be seen passing by. The dry fishing nets and air-dried fish can be seen on the roadside for a long time. A fishy smell in the air is lingering and can never be removed.

After almost an hour of travel, Renli had already arrived here.

At this time, his appearance was not very eye-catching. His dark hair that had not been taken care of for several months had spread to his shoulders. The bangs on his forehead also intentionally or unintentionally blocked his beautiful eyes that were unusual. The clothes he wore were worn by the old couple, a son named Harag, when he was a child. They were simple and ugly, and they were no different from the characteristics of the clothing of the fishermen here.

"May I ask, has Lord Merlin's boat left?" After walking on the street for a while, he grabbed an old fisherman passing by and asked. The iron-type accent that was not skilled but basically qualified could not arouse anyone's suspicion.

"I won't leave tomorrow morning." The old fisherman replied, then looked at the child's appearance alone and asked, "Where did you come from?"

"From Thumb Village." Lan Li said the name of the fishing village he lived in before: "My father was recruited by leader Merlin last time to fight. I don't know what the situation is now. I want to find someone to send him a message."

"Tell me a message?"

The old fisherman nodded after hearing this, and then pointed to the north of the town: "The boat is parked under Lord Meilin's castle, which is easy to find, but it will not be close to the other side at night. Boy, if you want to go, hurry up."

"OK, thanks!"

Lanli responded politely, then turned around and continued to move towards the castle. But halfway through the road, his steps suddenly stopped.

Because he saw a special situation on the street, or a person sitting there waiting for death.

It was a person with a ulcerated facial skin and gasping heavily, and was obviously suffering from serious illness. He leaned against the base of the wooden wall at the edge of the alley, wearing a washed white linen shirt, which looked thin as if he was wearing in summer.

Fishermen passed by at times, but they avoided the place where the man was, fearing that they would be infected by the disease they suffered.

Erythema disease, Lan Li recognized the disease that the other party suffered from. The manifestation of this disease is that the skin is covered with extremely itchy erythema. The patient cannot bear this itching after getting sick. He usually scratches hard, and then the wound is infected and ulcerated...

This disease is not serious for children, but adults suffer from it but may die. At this time, the person in sight obviously cannot survive tonight...

With a moving thought, Lan Li took out half of the orange given by the old woman who took him in before leaving, and then took out one of the white shells she carried with her, dug out the fire inside and stuck it to the orange. Finally, she walked to the other side at the edge of the alley and handed over the orange.

"I give it to you, and eat an orange before I die."

The man obviously didn't expect that a child would dare to approach him. After hearing this, he was stunned for a while before he realized it. However, he did not take the orange, but smiled weakly at him.

"Everyone said that they were going to die, it would be a waste to eat this thing. Boy, you-you eat it yourself."

Normal people can't see Lan Li's fire, and he has confirmed this, so the person in front of him naturally cannot find the abnormal situation on the surface of the orange.

"Then we are half of each of us."

Lan Li didn't seem to hear the patient's words, and broke half of the orange in half and handed half to the other party.

"Eat it, if you don't eat it, you won't be able to eat it again."

This sentence made the patient who had not wanted to eat hesitate for a moment, and finally carefully raised his equally festered hand to try not to touch the boy's take over.

Then he put the orange into his mouth and chewed it. The sweet and sour juice dispelled the bitter dryness in his mouth. In a trance, his originally listless spirit was a little excited.

"Thank you, my child, maybe I can live one more day because of this orange."

Hearing this, the boy looked at the face that was reluctantly smiling and nodded.

"Good luck."

"I also hope God of Hang will protect you forever." The other party replied, then looked at the boy's back and turned around and left, pursing his lips, and was quite moved.

But within a while, his emotions were suddenly interrupted because another person walked up to him and blocked the sunshine.

"Did that boy talk to you?"

The hoarse female voice sounded a strange charm, but her strange gaze that looked down was very aggressive, which made the patient feel very uncomfortable, but he still nodded.

"Yes."

"What did you say?" the other party asked again.

The patient frowned and said, "He asked me how to get to Buck Village."

Although she didn't know the woman in front of her, she was obviously following the boy. For the patient, he didn't want to cause any trouble to the kind-hearted boy, so he lied.

Unfortunately, the other party directly exposed his lies.

"You don't need to hide it for him." The hoarse female voice said, "His target is not Buck Village."

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." The patient shook his head and denied.

The other party did not respond, but squatted down, and a white hand holding a purple glass bottle with a thin neck stretched out from the closed cloak, slowly shaking in front of the patient's festering cheek. With the slight swaying of liquid, a faint fragrance spread out.

"I said, what did he say to you?"

The hoarse voice was no different from before, but it seemed to hit the bottom of my heart when I drilled into my ears, which made the patient's face stunned for a moment. In a trance, some words were murmured unconsciously.

"He said, I'll give it to you, and eat an orange before you die."

...

"Then we are half of each of us."

...

"Eat it, if you don't eat it, you won't be able to eat it again."
