Chapter 303 Disease
Jin Tong took Clara away from the green field, and later did not go to the main road, choosing only inaccessible places.
The two of them walked in the wilderness for two days, until they almost ran out of water and there were no rivers or streams nearby, then they approached the road again and asked for some water from a caravan.
Jin Tong had already taken out his money bag and took out a silver coin, but was rejected by the caravan leader.
The latter said that he was a believer in Pisiya, and the goddess taught people to help each other and love each other.
Especially when we are away from home, we should look after each other.
Upon hearing this, Jin Tong silently put the money bag away and continued on his way.
The little maid on horseback noticed that when he was talking to the fat leader, there was a flash of sarcasm in his eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused.
When she reached a place where no one was around, Clara said tentatively, "I remember you said before that you were an unbeliever? Then why do you work for the Silver Moon Church?"
"This is none of your business." Jin Tong said calmly.
"It's really none of my business, but I am idle now. If I don't chat, I have nothing to do." The little maid then guessed, "Is it for money?"
"No."
"Power?"
"No."
"Hmm, could it be... beauty?"
Jin Tong turned back and glanced meaningfully at Clara. The look in her eyes made the little maid tremble, and she couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body, and she subconsciously grabbed the blanket on her body.
Fortunately, Jin Tong quickly looked away again and continued on his way.
Clara also breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, neither of them spoke anymore. Jin Tong finally got the peace he had longed for. Unfortunately, the peace didn't last long. The little maid spoke again, "By the way, are you married?" < br>
Jin Tong sighed, "Give up..."
"What to give up?"
"Give up studying me and find a way to escape from me."
"I'm not studying you, nor am I trying to escape." The little maid blinked.
"Really?" Jin Tong sneered, "You kept asking for water every now and then along the way, and you quickly drank up the water I brought, just because you knew there was no place to replenish the water source nearby. In this case, I am forced to stay close to the road and contact other people, so that I can leave clues for those who come to find you.”
After Jin Tong finished speaking, he looked at Clara again, wanting to appreciate the panic in the latter's face after her thoughts were revealed.
As a result, only confusion and surprise were seen on the girl's face.
"Do you usually think of people so bad?" Clara asked curiously, "I just like to drink water. Before I met you, I had never left the green field. How could I know if there was anything nearby? Water Source.”
"…………"
The golden eyes could tell that the little maid was not lying. Clara's eyes were the purest he had ever seen, without a trace of impurities.
In fact, after getting along with each other for these two days, he also discovered that the target of his kidnapping was a bit special... He looked careless, as if he couldn't feel any trouble at all, and he didn't even think about being kidnapped. How could it bother her.
Most people would be scared to death when caught by him. They would cry every day and not dare to express their anger.
However, Clara did not eat less and slept less along the way, and even in the wild, she fell asleep very easily. She even had a sweet dream last night. Jin Tong was awakened by her giggle in the middle of the night, and Jian Half of them were taken out.
At the beginning, Jin Tong suspected that Clara was just faking it, but now he was almost certain that it was the little maid who was born like this, which was probably also a kind of talent.
Jin Tong led the horse and walked southeast for a while, then suddenly turned around and headed northeast again, still taking a remote path.
The little maid was still very interested, looking around and asking questions.
However, as dusk approached, Clara noticed that Jin Tong's complexion had become very bad, sweat was dripping from his forehead, and the hand holding the reins was also trembling slightly.
"Are you sick?" the little maid asked with concern.
"No." Jin Tong tried hard to suppress the irritability in his chest, walked about half a mile further, found a place with leeward, and tied the horse.
On the other side, Clara also picked up some dry branches from the surroundings and piled them together.
Jin Tong took out the fire sickle and flint.
As the bonfire rose, the surroundings became a lot warmer, but Jin Tong's condition did not get better, but seemed to get worse.
Not only the hands, but also the feet began to shake.
He quickly opened the package, took out a small copper bowl that was only half the size of his hand, and then put a piece of dark brown stuff into it.
Jin Tong put the small copper bowl on the fire. As soon as the white smoke rose, he couldn't wait to put his nose to it and sucked greedily. He looked like he wanted to suck up all the air around him. After that, not only the shaking of his hands and feet stopped No more cold sweats, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face.
It's like enjoying some delicacy in the world.
Clara stared at this strange scene with her eyes widened.
Just at this time, Jin Tong also raised his head and looked at her. Their eyes met, and Jin Tong's golden pupils shone with a dangerous and strange light.
The uncomfortable feeling that made the little maid come back again. Fortunately, Jin Tong took a few deep breaths and finally suppressed the impulse in her heart.
He said calmly to the little maid, "Go to sleep. We have to travel tomorrow. We will be there in two days."
For the first time this time, Clara did not ask any more questions and lay down obediently holding the blanket.
Early the next morning, Jin Tong had completely returned to normal, and the two continued on their way.
"What is that?"
"What?"
"Is the thing in the copper bowl last night the reason why you serve the Silver Moon Church? You suffer from some kind of vicious disease and need to rely on that thing to save your life?" Clara guessed.
Hearing this, the corners of Jin Tong's mouth raised again, revealing a sarcastic look, "Help, no, that thing is what caused my illness."
Clara was a little surprised, "But the way you looked at that time, you looked pretty, pretty..."
"It's quite enjoyable." Jin Tong helped the little maid finish her sentence, "That's what it is, it can bring joy and pain, and the more you indulge in the joy it brings, the more you leave. After it, the pain will become more intense...unable to resist, and in the end you will have to surrender to it
"Creeping at its feet, like a dog that comes and goes away as soon as it is called, longing for its master's bones."
"Are you talking about... love? Because that's how I heard those bards describe love. It sounds quite scary." The little maid said.
"Believe me, what I say is much scarier than love."
"Okay...but if this is a disease, you should try to ask Merlin for help. His medical skills are very powerful, and he might be able to cure you." (End of Chapter)
