My Lady Queen

Chapter 17: Borrowing Flowers to Offer Buddha

"Yaoshou, help!"

Wishing, who knew nothing about this, only felt that his eyes suddenly became blurred, and then he suddenly became top-heavy as if he was on a roller coaster. When he returned to normal, he found that he was already standing in his rented house.

On the table in front of him, the summoning altar stood upright.

And Mina's leather armor and iron sword that he occupied before have disappeared, obviously staying in their original world.

If it weren't for the several wounds on his body that were still hurting faintly, he would have wondered if all of this was an illusion.

Just as he came to his senses, a white light suddenly shot out from the furnace mouth of the summoning altar, and then the star berry he had seen once floated in mid-air.

Recalling the passage heard before the return, Wish tentatively reached out and grabbed the berry that looked like a tomato.

The moment his finger touched the berry, the white light disappeared, and the berry was held in his hand.

It seems that this is the so-called "sacrifice" he exchanged his life for this time.

Wishing angrily, he looked at the fist-sized fruit and sighed, "Oh, I've lost a lot this time!"

As he said that, he wanted to take a big bite.

But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

"Who is it!"

Wishing, who was already full of anger, yelled, put the berries on the table, and opened the door.

"Brother, you are back!"

As soon as the door opened halfway, a small body threw itself into Wishing's arms.

"Niuniu, why didn't you go to school?"

The one who came in was none other than a little girl from his neighbor's house. She just entered elementary school this year and usually has a good relationship with Wishing, and Wishing would often buy her some snacks.

"Oh, don't worry about me, the police came to look for you yesterday, brother, hurry up and surrender!"

Niu Niu raised her small face and said in a hurried tone, there were still tears in her eyes.

"Police, what do the police want me for? Oh, I see."

Wishing remembered that a few days ago after he was hit by the summoning altar, he had reported to the police station, and the other party said that he would be notified if there was news, probably because of this.

But Niu Niu didn't think so. She had seen with her own eyes that Wishing came back that night with his head covered in blood, carrying a dark object in his hand, and then the police came looking for him, and Wishing, who would stay at home almost every day, unexpectedly Missed for two days for the first time.

In the past few days, with her limited life experience, Niuniu has already made up countless stories about making wishes, snatching lollipops from children, refusing to listen to teachers, defecating everywhere, etc., and then absconding in fear of crime.

So, early this morning, she hid at the stairs and waited to make a wish. Just now, she just heard him yelling in the room, so she ran over.

Wishing, I don't know what kind of mental journey Niuniu has gone through. Under the torment of life, this little girl from a poor family will habitually think the worst of everything.

Wishing, the first time he saw her, he remembered that he had promised her to give her a gift not long ago.

Although he is not a good person, he is not a bad person either, and he usually does what he says, so this time, he didn't want to disappoint Niu Niu.

While Niuniu was still in shock, Xu Wish quickly looked around her room, but there was nothing but smelly socks and unwashed clothes.

Except...the star berries on the table.

"Okay, okay, I'll go to the police station later, I'm fine. By the way, last time I said I would give you a gift, this is for you!"

Wishing to grab the Xingyao berry and stuff it into Niuniu's hand.

The child's attention was easily distracted, and seeing that she had finally persuaded Brother Xu Wish to surrender, Niuniu also relaxed.

"Brother, what is this, a tomato?"

Niu Niu looked at the fruit covered with dots of silver spots and asked.

"Uh, if I said that this is the reward I went to another world to fight with a group of bad guys for [-] rounds, and finally rescued a beautiful young lady, and then she gave me a reward, would you believe it?"

"Brother, don't lie to me. I'm not a three-year-old kid. I'm already seven years old. I like tomatoes!" Niuniu gave Wishing a sweet smile, and then carefully put the tomatoes into her pocket. In the small schoolbag.

Niuniu has no mother, and her father's income is very low. Tomatoes are a rare fruit for her.

"Then why don't you eat?" Wishing wondered.

"Well, I'm going to bring it to my grandpa. Grandpa was sick and had an injection in the hospital, but he was very obedient and didn't cry. A good boy should be rewarded."

Niuniu's grandfather suffered a cerebral infarction not long ago and was admitted to the hospital, which made this difficult family even worse.

In this regard, wishing is also very helpless.The residents in the old building are all people at the bottom of society, and he doesn't even have a formal job, let alone helping others.

Under Niu Niu's insistence, she had no choice but to make a wish and let her send herself to the police station.

He is also very curious now, who would throw away this magical altar, and accidentally hit himself.

In the police station, like many other times, the visible camera was not powered on, so naturally it did not capture where the "censer" fell from, which made Xu Wish want to discuss it with the "senior" The wish also came to nothing.

Only in this way, this "censer" is legitimately owned by him.

……

Not to mention the matter of making a wish and then going to the labor market to find a job to earn money for food, it was already noon after Niuniu separated from him.

Dad has to be busy on the construction site until the evening, and Niuniu not only has to cook for herself, but also delivers meals to her grandfather who is hospitalized. Fortunately, this has become normal for her.

In the hospital, Niuniu's grandfather has woken up, but the long-term blood clot in his brain caused him to lose part of his memory, and he couldn't even recognize his own granddaughter.

Niuniu opened the lunch box, fed grandpa with a small spoon, and happily chatted with the old man.

"Grandpa, do you know that Brother Xu Wish is back, so the police didn't want to arrest him, but it scared me, and I knew that brother was not a bad person."

"But he just likes to lie to children. Last time he said that he caught a robber who robbed a bank, and this time he said that he saved a young lady. Hee hee, he thought I believed it."

"By the way, this is the tomato he gave me, although it looks a bit strange... Come, I'll feed you."

As she spoke, she cut open the skin of the berry with a spoon, dug out the bright red and juicy pulp inside, and put it into Grandpa's mouth one by one.

The old man was still staring blankly at the front, as if he didn't hear anything, but was swallowing mechanically...
