Chapter 175 The Newlywed Girl
clap clap-
Farol quickly tapped the door three times, and the door panel, made of woven branches, trembled slightly.
sand--
Wow.
Cluck cluck—cluck!
A commotion immediately broke out inside the room.
Li Mosi and the others were a little confused.
Farol's expression changed slightly, clearly realizing something.
He called out, "I am Farol."
As soon as he gave his name, the noise inside the room stopped instantly.
As a series of soft footsteps approached quickly, the wooden door opened, revealing a little girl inside.
Li Mosi's gaze instantly focused on the girl.
She looked to be only about eight years old, thin and weak, and seemingly hungry, but she was wearing a rather new-looking coarse wool garment and a pair of shoes.
"Grandpa Farol, you scared me!"
As she spoke, her eyes moved past Farol and looked at the people standing behind him.
"Oh—ah!"
Snapped.
When the girl saw the armor on Zi'an's body, she immediately knelt down.
"Yes, I'm sorry, sir, I wasn't paying attention..."
She buried her head deeply, her voice and body trembling, and her voice began to break into sobs as she spoke.
?
Li Mosi was stunned for a moment.
The people around him were also stunned for a moment.
Zi'an looked at Li Mosi.
Li Mosi felt her gaze, met her eyes, and raised her hand.
Zi'an nodded and looked at the girl: "Stand up."
"Yes, yes. Thank you, sir."
The girl relaxed a little when she heard her voice.
She stood up and secretly glanced at the group out of the corner of her eye.
Then, the first person she saw was Zi Yi, who was about the same height as her.
"Waaah~"
The girl burst into tears again and began wiping her face with her dusty hands.
"My lord, *sigh*—I'm already married. *sigh*—I can't mate with goblins. *sigh*—"
What is all this about?
The group was taken aback again.
They're speaking human language, so why do they feel like they can't understand it?
Zi Yi frowned and looked at Farol: "What is she saying?"
Is this human talk?
"Waaah—"
Hearing Ziyi speak, the girl wasn't surprised; she just cried even harder.
It's even more powerful than that goblin!
Li Mosi frowned as she looked at Farol, then at the girl.
Could it be that the strong goblin's story about almost being forced to mate and humiliate by humans was about this girl?
Is the lord here a human?
Having just finished staying up all night, he only felt a headache coming on.
"Alright, stop crying. We just came to check on things. We didn't send you to mate with a goblin."
As he spoke, he pointed to the girl.
It's time for the local elders to play a role!
With Li Mosi's permission, Farol nodded and began to stroke the girl's head.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. They are the new lords, just checking out the territory. They won't give you any orders."
It has to be said, local gentry are really useful.
Old Farrell used the same soothing method as Nangong Wenya to quickly stop the little girl from crying.
Li Mosi then said, "Go inside, let's see your house."
He always had a strange feeling.
Why was it a little girl who opened the door?
Why has no one come out after she's been crying at the door for so long?
"Yes, inhale—yes. Inhale—sir."
The little girl was pushed into the earthen house by Farol, and Ziyi, who had been holding back for a long time, looked at Farol.
"What's wrong with her?"
Li Mosi began to elaborate on the issue.
"Tell me about her situation, her family situation, and why we've only seen her alone so far. Please explain in detail."
"She... uh—"
Farol looked a little embarrassed, but he still spoke up.
"She lost her parents this summer, and since the knight was short of a personal attendant, he appointed her as one."
"But we recently captured a goblin that can farm. The knight wants to find people to mate with the goblin to reproduce, but the slaves and sinners were sold off during the autumn harvest. We can't find anyone right now."
"It just so happens that she didn't help the knight change his clothes that day; the knight went to the fields in his pajamas to check on the goblin-planted crops."
She was punished by the steward for "failing to fulfill her duties as a servant and causing the lord to lose face," and was dragged away as a slave to mate with goblins.
"Since the goblin refused to mate, the steward gave her to a soldier, I think it was an orphan soldier named Lan'er. She married the soldier."
Zi'an frowned: "That Lan'er was taken away too, right?"
"right."
Farol nodded vigorously.
Zi Yi listened with a pained expression, then scratched the top of Green's head vigorously with both hands.
"Is that knight an idiot? Humans and goblins can't have children! Goblins can only have children with other goblins!"
"And human skin isn't green! We don't like it at all!"
Farol didn't know what to say after hearing this, he just blinked.
Is that how it is?
No wonder that goblin was so resistant back then.
"Ah, I understand now."
Zi'an nodded.
"We like taller and stronger guys."
She often heard her father and mother talk about their past love.
They formed a family because they were all tall and strong enough.
You don't like it even though it's not green?
"You guys still dare to pick on me!"
Just as Hagi Saint was about to speak, Li Mos covered his mouth.
Farol quickly turned to look inside the house.
Farol quickly turned to look inside the house.
But something seems off?
The topic is definitely wrong.
Didn't anyone think that there was a problem with a nine-year-old girl getting married?
Li Moss's attention quickly slid away from the topic of racial aesthetic preferences.
He gestured with his chin toward the open door.
"Let's go in and take a look."
The group entered the small, dark mud house.
Zian and everyone else went in first, and then the last one crawled in, while the little boy remained standing outside the door.
The earthen house occupies less than twenty square meters of land, and the furnishings inside are very simple.
In the center of the room was a campfire surrounded by small stones, now only a smoldering ember remained.
A small earthenware pot sat on the fire, with a little food left inside.
Closer to the fire inside the house, some dry grass was spread on the ground, looking like a bed.
There was an old burlap sack next to the bed against the wall, and the sack was already half empty.
There were two wooden buckets, one large and one small, placed against the wall to Li Mosi's left.
The large wooden bucket was filled with water, while the small wooden bucket, though empty, emitted a smell of excrement.
"Um!"
The saintess subconsciously frowned and turned her head.
If it weren't for the constant stench of wolf cubs' urine in the chieftain's cave, she really wouldn't have been able to hold back by now.
The little girl finally recovered and secretly peeked at the group of people.
A nobleman with animal ears on his head and wearing armor, a talking goblin, an adult dressed as a craftsman but standing in the middle, and a beautiful older sister tied up behind him.
Each of them resembled a lord she had served in some way, but either their clothes were different, they were bound, or they were of a different race.
too weird.
Li Mosi glanced at Hagi Saint, then turned to the left, looking towards the deepest part of the room.
There was firewood and some dry straw laid out there.
A clean, coarse wool blanket was placed on top of the hay, with a high mound in the middle.
There's clearly something hidden there.
Zi'an strode over directly.
"grown ups!"
Seeing her movement, the little girl screamed, and Farol grabbed her arm.
Zi'an had already grabbed the blanket.
She pinched the blanket and lifted it.
Cluck cluck—cluck cluck!
The two chickens suddenly flapped their wings, sending several feathers flying and revealing an egg in the nest.
That's it?
Zi'an was puzzled.
"What's the point of hiding this?"
Of course, it's because those two chickens are the most valuable things in her house.
He even suspected that the egg was borrowed to trick the hen into laying it.
Li Mosi looked at the girl: "Don't you have enough food to last through the winter?"
He had just looked through the top view and cross-section of the Leshan Water map, and there was nothing else in the girl's house.
There are no root crops buried underground.
"Ah? Yes, thank you, sir."
The girl seemed unsure how to answer his question, and subconsciously responded with a few words before speaking again.
"It should be enough, it should be enough."
