Mysterious as the wind, always with me

Chapter 26

"How can you say such things to a lady!?" If Miss Byson was not afraid of attracting the monster hidden in the fog, she would kill the male god she was still obsessed with until a few seconds ago.

She didn't yell.Just raising her voice slightly is her greatest restraint.

Even so, two teardrops the size of soybeans were already hanging in the corners of her eyes, ready to burst into tears at any moment.

At this moment, Miss Byson glanced at her little boots as if she had a guilty conscience.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but if you look at it, she will be stupid.

The boots themselves were a bit dirty from walking the dusty and leafy ground, at least in and out of the washroom, and I walked right into the two crime scenes if I couldn't die.She didn't know it herself, there was a large lump of blood scab on her boots, and she immediately felt a stench coming over her face when she got a little closer.

Now it's all right, the foot smell is real on the spot.

Miss Byson immediately felt a sense of collapse: "No, I, I didn't notice it just now. I didn't mean it."

This gave her even more reason to take off her boots, and Anthony, who was next to her, cooperatively offered a replacement of women's loafers.

Mark suddenly said: "Wait! Do you want to use precious water to wash our dirty boots? It is for drinking. Of course, just take off the shoes and put them in the shoe cabinet. The blood may pollute Other shoes. So I have better ideas."

Flipping his wrist, he took out two bottles of [Water of Light], which is commonly known as holy water among the people. Although every church calls the water filled with the power of their own gods holy water, the ones that are more widely recognized are those produced by the Church of Light. Holy water.

"When..." Sha Niu was a little at a loss.

"While checking the three out-of-control apprentice knights." Mark finished blankly, then turned to Anthony: "We can purify the boots with holy water, and take off the shoes. I am not used to Show socks in front of people."

Silly girl blinked, she really didn't know that the male god had such a strange habit, or hobby.When she looked at Mark with warning eyes, she shrank her neck slightly: "My feet also smell bad, so it's not good... polluting your shoes."

If it's another person, maybe her stubborn temper will come.

She dared not be disobedient to Mark, the lifesaver.The point is, when she saw that overly handsome face, all anger disappeared.

"It's... alright." Anthony couldn't insist.

People have washed their boots with holy water, so it's hard to say that even the things washed with holy water will dirty the house of an ordinary person like him.

In front of Anthony, the two borrowed a rag, dipped it in holy water, wiped the outer walls of the boots once, and followed them in grandly.

The dim light of the lantern shone through the obviously old-fashioned wooden house. Walking in the aisle, the wooden boards made a "squeaky" sound.

However, Mark noticed that every piece of wood on the wall was sealed with plaster, and there was no light shining through.Of course, it can also be understood as windproof.

The mountain wind is so strong that it is very uncomfortable to penetrate into the house in winter.

After walking through the six or seven meter long aisle, I arrived at the dining room.

Under the light of two kerosene lamps that fell on the low beams, the two of Mark saw Susie, the hostess of the house, and her two children.

"She's Suzy, and this is our baby Jason and Nisha." Anthony introduced the family.

It looked like an ordinary home, an ordinary family.

The entire kitchen and dining room are full of smoke and oil-stained wooden furniture. There are no modern electrical equipment, only the furnishings that seem to be still in the feudal era.

Jason is a little boy of about seven or eight years old, wearing patched clothes and a bunch of freckles on his face.

Nisha, who is quite cute, is a little younger, about five or six years old. Her red dress has no patches, but it is obvious that the skirt has been washed and faded.She holds a doll made of miscellaneous cloth on her right arm.

It looks a bit like a rag doll of Stitching Monster, which is actually very common in the homes of middle and lower class people.

The middle-aged aunt Susie has a typical aunt's face and a bucket waist, wearing a dirty apron, and her flaxen hair is tied up to the back of her head, but she enthusiastically takes the child and greets her: "Sorry, my family The situation made the two laugh. Apart from being safer, there is nothing good to greet the two of you."

"Don't mind, we'd appreciate it if we could take a break." Mark replied with a smile.

"Please rest assured that our house is not in the main building complex. Unless there is strong light passing through, it is unlikely to attract the monster in the fog." Anthony interjected.

Susie said enthusiastically, "We are preparing for dinner, do you want to join us? Although it is not a high-class dish."

"Where did you get the food? Is there enough food in the dormitory?"

Susie showed an embarrassing expression: "We have stayed in this ghost place for maybe a month, maybe longer. There is not much food in the dormitory, but luckily, Anthony risked his life to go to the cafeteria yesterday and found some unused food in the pot. Rotting meat. And some unpeeled potatoes."

Anthony emphasized: "Professor Carter of the Mystery Department discovered that pork can be preserved for a longer period of time after being thoroughly wrapped in fat. I don't know why. Anyway, I found it."

When Mark heard it, he smiled: "Praise Professor Carter. But we just ate before we came into this world, so we don't need it. If you don't mind, we want to go to your living room to have a rest first."

"Oh, okay, please do your own thing." Anthony raised his hand and pointed in the direction opposite the door of the dining room.

Miss Byson was quite wronged. She had a feeling that since entering the room, Mark had been targeting her crazily.Mark may have had enough at noon, but she was so hungry that she barely had anything to eat because of the stupid dislocated jaw scene.

Before she could say anything, Mark secretly pulled her hard and led her out of the dining room.

Seeing the light of the kerosene lamp casting a long and slender shadow in the dilapidated corridor, the one who grabbed the other party immediately turned around and became Miss Byson.

Entering the living room with the same simple furnishings, sitting on the only wooden bench in the middle, Mark said coldly: "Didn't you notice that the two children were starving?"

"Ah! That's right." Miss Byson finally came to her senses. Just now, the two children were saying hello to them while staring at the meat and mashed potatoes on the table: "But, I..."

"Here!" Mark handed over a large piece of bread and a small kettle.

Stupid girl recognized that it was a common bread in the school cafeteria, she didn't think much about it, she couldn't care less about her manners, and started to gobble it up.

Mark was a little speechless. Since he traveled through time, he has been tricked out of experience.

During the meal, a group of noble daughters approached, and all of them paid great attention to their manners. They had to swallow their food first and wipe their mouths before they could speak. A group of young ladies on the opposite side kept chattering and asking questions. Don’t expect Mark to be able to Eat a full meal.

This is a typical case of sacrificing face and suffering.

He sneaked away the food and hid it, and turned around to give himself another meal, which almost became instinctive.

Unexpectedly, it became a key strategic reserve.

The stupid girl ate the bread, but she was afraid of making a fool of herself, so she turned her back on him.

When he didn't have to face Byson's eyes, Mark didn't have to hide himself anymore. He glanced at the dining room opposite the door, with a sense of heaviness that Miss Byson couldn't imagine.

He quickly restrained his gaze, took out another piece of bread, and gnawed on it himself.

Not long after, Anthony came over after finishing his meal: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. According to my experience, in about 10 minutes, this world will enter the night state. The monster will be more active. I strongly recommend you two Sleep in the house first, and we will talk about it tomorrow if there is anything to do."

"Is it dangerous?" Mark asked.

"Probably, I saw a group of survivors hiding in the formation system at night, but the next morning, I saw their bodies." Anthony had a sad face.

"Is there any trick to avoid that monster?"

"Probably just don't make too much noise. Strong lights don't work either. I don't understand the rest."

"Okay, I will disturb your family tonight."

"It's okay, we can save people, we are all very happy."

"Is there anything I need to pay attention to at night?" Mark asked.

"Uh, there is a small attic above the second floor, where my armor from when I was a soldier is placed. Maybe there is a hole in the roof of the attic, and there will be strange crying sounds at night. Please don't pay attention to that sound." Anthony ordered seriously.

"understood."

"Then, is there anything we can do?" the little silly girl interrupted.

"If you can, can you play with my two children? They haven't seen a survivor in a long time."

"Okay." Miss Byson had a warm smile on her face.

"Come in, kid." Anthony greeted behind him.

Nisha poked her head in from the door timidly: "Brother and sister, who of you would like to play house with me?"

"Let my sister come!" The little silly girl greeted her in a desperate manner.

Nisha said softly: "Okay, okay! But, there should be four people in the family. Can you help me find my brother and borrow his 'Mysterious Warrior'?"

"I'll go!" Mark smiled.

He took a few steps to the dining room opposite, and saw Jason holding a small wooden figure in a daze.The wooden doll is very rough, that is, to the extent that several joints can move. A hole is drilled in the wooden palm, and a small stick and a disc are put in to form a sword and shield.

"Jason..." Mark just started.

Jason turned his head: "You want my mysterious warrior again, right? Yes, mystery should be exchanged for mystery."

again?
Mark's heart was touched slightly, he still kept a gentle smile on his face, and turned his wrist: "Look, does this work? The [Eye of Light] with mysterious power."

That's right, this is a pendant from the legless knight in the bathroom. It has low-level exorcism power, and it is very common equipment for those who belong to the clergy.

Jason smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Seeing Mark come back with the 'Mysterious Warrior', Nisha immediately smiled: "My brother is so stingy, if I don't give him something good, he won't lend me the 'Mysterious Warrior' every time. You are so kind, brother, Want to play together?"

Mark smiled and pointed at her, Byson and the two dolls: "Isn't there a family of four? If I add in, there will be too many people."
