Wizards Under Cthulhu - Vol 5 Chapter 9

With the transition from the previous day, Norman finally adapted to the feeling of being an ordinary person by deliberately suppressing himself.

After a short break, the three of them divided the village into three parts according to the plan in the name of sightseeing.

The village is not big, and at the walking speed of an adult, half a day is enough to walk in a circle.

is divided into three parts, and the three of them can observe more carefully.

It was just noon at this time, and the village had resumed its liveliness again.

Most people are cleaning up the trash left over from yesterday’s cotton festival.

laugh and talk to each other, the atmosphere is very harmonious.

are obviously different faces, but they have the same smile, as if they have a smile template in their brains.

“I’ll help you!” Norman saw an old lady who was about 70 years old holding a woven basket, walking tremblingly, and hurriedly walked over to support the basket.

“Thank you.” The old lady let go and took a few breaths.

In the basket, there are peels and some bread or meat crumbs.

After a night, a special smell emanated from it, and Norman couldn’t help frowning.

“Hehehe, the remaining wine inside will accelerate the decay, and the taste is a bit bad, but it can be used as fertilizer!” The old lady looked kindly when she saw Norman’s appearance.

“Yeah, I’m used to it by smelling it.” Norman joked.

“Hahaha, well said, I still remember that this village used to have this smell everywhere, then…” The old lady muttered and stopped suddenly.

Norman was taken aback when he heard the first sentence, and his heartbeat increased a bit.

“Mother-in-law, what’s wrong with you?” Norman turned his head and saw the old lady beside her face a little stiff, her smile still on her face, but her expression and eyes were stiff.

It was as if she was wearing a smile mask exactly like hers.

“Ah~ I’m okay, where did I say? By the way, I’m going to the cotton plantation, let’s go!” The old lady urged her suddenly.

Norman opened his mouth and sensibly told him not to mention the topic just now.

But his brain is trying to remember the expression of the old lady just now.

Intuitively told him that at that moment, he had already touched what he wanted.

The smell of the old village, the mother-in-law’s stiff smile, what did Norman feel like he had overlooked?

What is 　　? Norman felt that the truth was right in front of him, but he couldn’t grasp it.

This feeling kept hitting Norman’s brain, and finally prevented himself from going crazy, Norman had to stop looking for the feeling of dislocation.

“Mrs. Divan, where are you going?” A middle-aged woman with a fat body greeted her.

“Go and pour this garbage into the cotton plantation, Hana, how is your harvest this year?” Granny Di Fan stopped, and Normamba didn’t want to listen to more news.

“Very good, this year is about the same as last year.” Hana replied with a smile, and then looked at Norman with big eyes, “This is the guest who came yesterday, but I saw him drinking wildly, ha ha ha.”

“Yes, yeah, he is a kind-hearted child, it doesn’t depend on my old lady moving things, she rushed over to help.” Granny Di Fan answered with a smile.

“I’m a great guy, how old are you this year?” Hana asked with a smile.

Before Norman could answer, Granny Di Fan laughed and scolded: “You cruel mother, your girl is only a teenager. It’s too early to find a man so early! If you think she eats too much, you can bring it to me. keep.”

“Look at what you said, my daughter is precious. If I don’t talk to you, I will help with cleaning.” Hana swung her fat waist.

The two said goodbye to each other, each walking in a different direction.

On the way forward, the old lady chatted with others for a while.

During 　　 Norman didn’t say anything, but waited patiently, trying to hear some clues from their words.

just a few times later, it was short of some parents.

The two left the village along the stone path and headed up the mountain.

“Young man, take a break when you are tired, don’t hold on!” Granny Di Fan said concerned.

“Okay, I am indeed a little tired.” Norman could take a few breaths.

According to the strength of his current physique, this weight is nothing at all.

The reason why I stopped is just to inquire about more things from the old lady.

“Sit there then.” Granny Di Fan pointed to a stone not far away.

The stone was polished smoothly under a big tree, and obviously people were resting on it.

Norman placed the basket not far away, and sat on it with his arm, Granny Divan, and then sat in the corner himself.

There is a shade of trees under the tall trees, and the mountain breeze blows, and it feels refreshing.

“Come and eat some cakes!” Granny Di Fan took out a small package of square gray handkerchiefs from the small shoulder bag beside her.

opened the package, and inside were four neatly arranged pastries.

The pastries are just the size of a thumb, and they don’t look good.

“Come, eat a piece!” Granny Di Fan handed a piece of cake to Norman.

Norman wanted to refuse, but when he looked at the kind face of Granny Di Fan, he did not say the refusal, and reached out and took a bite of the cake.

Just like the appearance of cakes, the taste is not very good.

After all, it is difficult for this kind of handmade cakes to be as delicious as commercial cakes.

Watching Norman eat the pastry in three bites, Granny Di Fan’s expression of affection on her face became stronger, and she handed over another piece.

Norman… had to silently pick up the pastry.

This time, he only took a small bite, “Mother-in-law, how long have you lived here?”

“I, I have lived here since I was a child!” Granny Di Fan looked in the direction of the village.

Actually, the village is not visible here because of the trees.

“Do your children also live in the village?” Norman asked.

“I have no children, only…only…no more, only me.” Granny Di Fan replied.

Norman once again keenly caught the flashing puzzled expression of Granny Di Fan.

A move in my heart, this should be a breakthrough.

When Norman was about to continue inquiring, he suddenly shuddered~www.mtlnovel.com~ and his face became pale.

“What’s the matter with you? Wasn’t it okay just now?” Granny Di Fan asked, seeing that Norman’s face suddenly changed color.

“I’m fine, maybe the mountain breeze is blowing suddenly.” Norman explained hurriedly.

Just now, he felt a strong sense of being watched.

Between heaven and earth, a pair of cold eyes appeared.

“Really okay?” Granny Di Fan looked at Norman’s appearance, really a little worried.

“Really, it’s okay, look.” Norman stood up, took the basket on the side and fiddled with it twice, indicating that he was in good health.

Di Fan’s mother-in-law was relieved when she saw this.

The two rested for a while. This time Norman didn’t dare to cause a topic easily. They all listened to Granny Di Fan muttering about the village alone.

After a ten-minute break, the two continued to set off.

walked two more miles, and a piece of flat land appeared in front of Norman.

This flat land appeared on the hillside, covering an area of ​​nearly a thousand square meters.

Plants with colorful stalks are growing, the leaves have fallen out, only the stalks and fruits are left.

Just as Norman was standing in front of the cotton plantation, a yellow shadow came out from it.
