In his daze, Benjamin seemed to hear some strange conversations.
"...Hey, wake up."
"Why doesn't he wake up yet? Is he dead?"
"He shouldn't be dead. Look, isn't he still breathing?"
"Why did you pick him up? Look at him, his skin is so white. Is he sick? It's said that there is a plague in the capital and many people died. What if he also gets the plague? What to do?"
"Well... Well, I'm going to get an ax and chop him to death now to prevent him from infecting us with the plague."
As if he felt a chill in the dark, Benjamin suddenly woke up and sat up from his bed.
W-what's going on
Pain once again swept through Benjamin, who had just woken up. However, when he woke up this time, it wasn't just his head that hurt. Arms, lower back, knees... there is no place in the whole body that does not hurt. It felt like rolling down a hillside more than ten meters high, leaving bruises all over the body and no good skin left.
… Eh
etc.
At that moment, he suddenly remembered that it was not like, but that he had actually rolled down the hillside.
Although the whole process was uncomfortable, and Benjamin fainted halfway through, he did not seem to be seriously injured, so his mind was still relatively clear.
He immediately remembered what happened before he fainted.
After the situation became critical, as expected, Michelle instantly turned her back and pushed Benjamin off the carriage. At that time, there happened to be another hillside on the roadside, so after Benjamin fell off the carriage, it rolled all the way along the hillside, like a gasoline barrel. He accidentally hit his head on a rock and fainted. Fortunately, there were no sequelae.
Fortunately, it's just that... Thinking about it now, Benjamin suddenly felt that the whole thing seemed a bit weird.
He didn't quite understand what Michelle meant by doing this.
Sold Benjamin to Attract the Church? Then Michelle should have taken action long ago, why wait until then. And as he is now, rolling so far along the hillside, the church may not be able to find him.
More importantly, looking at his current situation, it is obvious that he is still alive and well and has not been caught by the church. This shows that Michelle is not trying to sell him.
but…
His current situation seems quite strange.
—How can someone fall down a hillside and end up on a bed for no apparent reason
Probably something happened again.
Thinking of this, Benjamin had no choice but to put aside the past, come back to his senses, and prepare to figure out the current situation first.
Therefore, he raised his eyes and scanned the surrounding environment. This is a simple cabin. The cabin is not big, but it has a lot of things, which are very messy. There are bows and arrows, pots, brooms... In short, it is a house with a sense of life.
And around him, three wide-eyed faces surrounded him, like monkeys visiting a zoo.
“…”
The atmosphere is a little weird.
The three people surrounding him were a tall adult man and two little girls. The adult seemed to be shocked by Benjamin's waking up, and his expression was blank. As for the two little girls, one showed curiosity in her eyes, while the other looked fierce and hostile.
what's the situation
Benjamin was a little confused. He guessed that he might have been discovered by these people after he rolled down the cliff, so he was brought here by them. However, this still couldn't change his confused heart.
Who are these three people? Where is this? Why did these three people bring him here
He had to figure this out.
"Um... this is our first meeting, how are you?" So Benjamin scratched his head and saw that the three people were staring at him without speaking, so he had to speak first.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, the little girl who was so curious just burst into tears.
“…”
Do, do what
His voice was obviously normal, not dumb like a weird uncle, and he asked so politely, why is this little loli crying
Benjamin was completely confused.
At this moment, another little girl hugged the crying girl, touched her head to comfort her, took out a comb, pointed at Benjamin, and asked vigorously:
"Tell me, do you have the plague and are coming to infect us?"
“…”
Benjamin was a little speechless and hesitated for a moment before replying: "I am in good health."
Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other, and the little girl who had been crying stopped sobbing. She turned her head and looked at Benjamin blankly. Then, the whole atmosphere suddenly changed. The three of them looked at each other and unexpectedly let out a burst of cheers.
"Great! Finally someone can play with Harry!" The fierce little girl jumped up happily and said this.
“…”
I don’t quite understand what these people are doing
Everyone was out of control, so Benjamin had no choice but to run to ask the system again. However, what is disappointing is that this time the system did not give any valuable answers - obviously, it did not know what these three people were doing.
It just told Benjamin that after rolling down the hillside, he fell into a cave and rolled far away. He just rolled and rolled, and finally, he was discovered by the big man and brought to this cabin by these three people, leading to the situation he saw now.
The whole process lasted quite a while, from the time he was pushed out of the carriage to the moment he woke up, it was already the next day.
The system also roughly stated the location of the cabin. It should be quite close to North Mountain. However, the location here is very remote and there are almost no people around. It seems that only the three of them live here.
Hearing this, Benjamin asked about the church's pursuit and Michelle's situation. However, the system despised Benjamin, saying that it had been staying at Benjamin's place and there was no WiFi, so how could it possibly know what was going on outside.
“…”
Benjamin felt disappointed when he got this result after asking the system.
He couldn't help but complain: "What do I need you for?"
"I also have a TV shopping advertisement here. If you want to feel the surging sex, you can play it for you." However, the system answered this question very actively.
"...Goodbye." So Benjamin could only reply.
However, after this game with the system, he returned to reality. Looking at the three happy people, he suddenly felt that communicating with these three people was not so scary - no matter what, it was better than communicating with the system.
Thinking like this, Benjamin couldn't help but sigh: It is indeed a system that can always make the real world so beautiful.
This is probably its most amazing feature yet.
"Um... thank you for saving me." He cleared his throat, drew the three people's attention back, and asked, "Excuse me, do you know what's going on outside now?"
"I know." The little girl who burst into tears cheered and replied, "It's raining outside now, there is mud everywhere, and your clothes will be stained when you go out."
“…”
Who the hell said reality is beautiful
In this way, after a battle-like arduous communication, which lasted about half an hour, Benjamin finally got a rough understanding of the situation of these three people.
The big man's name was Hal, and according to him, he had been a bandit from North Mountain. When the church was encircling and suppressing the North Mountain bandits, he hid under the horse manure pile in the stable because of fear, and thus escaped death and became the only survivor besides their boss.
After the siege, he climbed out of the horse dung pile and escaped from the mountain, only to meet these two little girls at the foot of the mountain.
The two little girls are a pair of sisters. The more aggressive one is the older sister, ten years old, named Nina; the shyer one is the younger sister, six and a half years old, named Sandy. According to Nina, they came from a theater troupe in the south. Because the leader of the troupe often touched her sister Sandy, Nina was very angry when she found out. Therefore, while the troupe leader was sleeping, she poured half a bottle of glue into his vagina, and then escaped from the troupe with her sister.
They performed along the street to make a living, escaped all the way, and accidentally came to this area, where they met the cowardly bandit Hal who happened to be coming down the mountain. As a result, the three people hit it off immediately. Unbelievably, they decided to settle down here together. What's even more amazing is that they actually settled down and lived happily for more than a year.
"It's great. There is true love in the world." After hearing this story, the system came out on purpose and let out a few sobs, seeming to be very moved.
“…”
Benjamin took a deep breath, put all those things behind him, and then asked in reality: "Then... can any of you tell me what happened in the royal capital?"
