Is it okay to run away with me?

Chapter 89 Pearl Trading

After dinner, Su did all the housework.

The boy's hands didn't look smooth at all, instead they were rough and covered in oil smoke.

When Su finished her housework, she said to Nicks: "I'll take you back to the stockade."

Knicks asked: "Why are you sending me back? I can just stay here."

Su said: "I don't have a place for you to sleep here, even I..."

At this point, Su stopped talking.

Nix followed his words: "You don't even have a place to sleep here? So where do you usually sleep?"

At this point, Su no longer concealed anything.

He said: "Timmy didn't like people sharing a bed with him, so I slept in the yard every night."

Sue took Nicks to the yard, and Nicks saw the place where he rested every night.

A thatched hut that looked like a tent, with a black puppy inside. This puppy looks very much like the big black puppy Bai Qi and Helios rescued, and their eyes are bright.

But Nix still didn't like dogs very much, so she unconsciously took a step back.

Sue got into the shed and took the puppy into her arms affectionately. He scratched the puppy's nose, and the puppy smiled.

The ground in the shed was covered with thatch, and there was only a thin quilt. There were no stains on the quilt, only patchwork.

It turns out that this young man lives in such an environment every day, but he is neatly dressed and somehow gives people a clean feeling.

The Knicks will always automatically sympathize with the underdog. Such as Annie, such as Sue.

She has obviously lived for two hundred years, and she obviously knows that there is a lot of suffering in this world. Such as war, such as famine, such as feud.

But the thing she couldn't stand the most was watching beautiful things suffer in this world.

She looked at Su's handsome young face, took out a pack of pearls from her pocket, handed it to him and said, "Take it to exchange for some money, and add some quilts, clothes, etc."

The young man took the bag of pearls for a long time.

Nicks' hand holding the pearl bag stopped in mid-air, and she asked doubtfully: "Why don't you accept it?"

Su said: "No reward for no merit."

Nicks asked, "What do you mean?"

"I have done nothing to help you and should not accept your property."

"Didn't you just invite me to dinner?"

The young man lowered his head and said, "That bowl of rice is not worth this bag of pearls."

So stubborn.

So, Knicks said, "Then do me a favor."

Su said, "Just say it."

Nix put the bag of pearls into Su's hand, and she said, "You accompany me to the mountain you mentioned to look for bugs. I'll make a love charm."

Su looked at the pearl bag in his hand, hesitated for half a minute, and then said, "Okay."

Nicks smiled with satisfaction: "Then, let's go now."

Su raised his head and looked at the sky, "It's very late now. There are many dangers on the mountain and there are many wild animals."

"It doesn't matter, I can protect you." Nick said frankly.

But Su said: "How can I let a girl protect me? If you are so anxious, you must have your own difficulties. Just wait for me to prepare."

Su turned around and walked into the house. He didn't know what he said to his mother and brother. When he came out, there was no pearl bag in his hand, but a spear.

Nix felt that this kind of weapon had no lethality, but that was the young man's intention. The two of them walked on the road, the moonlight shone on the path, and the wind rustled the leaves.

Nix asked, "Did you give all that bag of pearls to your mother?"

Su nodded.

Nicks said angrily: "Although this is a reward for you, I don't want you to give it to that woman."

Su raised her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Nick said frankly: "Have you not noticed that your mother only favors her youngest son? She only uses you and does not love you at all."

Su lowered his head in disappointment and said no more.

He more or less understood what Knicks said.

But that was his mother, that was his brother, these were the only two family members he had left.

He was ostracized by other peers in the tribe, what could he do?

Nicks said: "It doesn't matter. When you help me catch the bugs, I will give you a bag of pearls. Don't give that bag of pearls to your mother again."

Su pursed her lips and finally said: "Thank you..."

"You're welcome."

Then the two of them walked on the road in silence. According to human speed, Nix and Su walked for two hours before reaching the back mountain.

When they arrived at the back mountain, maybe because they were far away from home, Su showed the naughty mood of an ordinary teenager. He scared Nicks and said: "There are many graves on this mountain. I heard that there are often haunted places here in the middle of the night. Are you afraid?"

Nix pretended to be scared and said, "Really! I'm so scared!"

Su patted his chest, poked the ground with his spear, and said confidently: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Nix wanted to laugh, but held it back.

Suddenly, a small glowing bug flew by, and Nicks asked, "Is it this kind of bug?"

Su shook his head, "It's not this little bug, it's a firefly."

While Su was leading the way, he almost tripped over a branch on the ground and stumbled.

He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Sorry, I'm a little wandering when I walk and I haven't eaten enough."

Nicks remembered that Su had only eaten half a bowl of rice just now, so there probably wasn't enough rice in the pot.

If she had known better, she would have given him her bowl of rice. Anyway, there would be no benefit to her at all from eating human food, and humans would lose strength if they didn't eat enough.

However, Nix has no choice now. She doesn't have any food on her, and she can't use magic to conjure food.

Nicks asked: "Are there any edible wild fruits on the mountain?"

Su nodded and said: "There is a very delicious wild fruit ahead. Unfortunately, the tree is very weird. We usually wait for its fruit to fall before we pick it up and eat it."

Nix said, "Lead the way, take me to see the tree."

Su obediently led the way, and the two walked through a forest and came to the fruit tree. Sure enough, there were many small golden fruits hanging on the tall tree, and they were shaped like apples.

Su wanted to show off his skills, so he said, "You don't have to wait for the fruit to fall. I'll climb the tree and pick it for you to try."

But where would it be his turn to take action? The Knicks just want him to fill his stomach now.

Before Sue can climb the tree, Nix uses magic to make the fruit from the tree fall in flakes.

When the golden fruit hit Su's head, his eyes widened and he murmured: "How is this possible..."

Su immediately picked up a fruit and stuffed it into Nick's hand and said, "Try it quickly!"

He couldn't wait to pick up a fruit and wolfed it down, then desperately put the fruit on the ground into his pocket.
