[Exorcist Boy] The whole world thinks I'm a cannon fodder

After leaving Tibet, our group went all the way south under the leadership of Tim.

Because China has not yet laid a large area of ​​railways like European countries, we spend most of our time traveling in horse-drawn carriages provided by local exploration forces, and in places where there are no exploration forces, we basically have to walk.

——Like now.

"Looking at the map, if you don't go far, you should be able to see the town." In the scorching sun, Li Nali put her hands on her forehead to block the sun, and at the same time, she didn't know how many times she looked at the map drawn by a special person before. .

"Li Nali, that's what you said just now." Yalian's whole body was about to wilt, and he rubbed his stomach softly, "No, I really want to die, I'm so hungry...food ...where is the food..."

"That is to say, it's too far away, how long will it take to get there--" the rabbi walked beside him with his arms under his head, and echoed weakly.

Although Shuweng and Crowley didn't complain together, they could still see big drops of sweat rolling down their cheeks.

The wind that is better than nothing is blowing head-on, and waves of heat are rolled up from the ground. The high temperature in the past few days has made everyone anxious and irritable. Gradually, almost no one is in the mood to talk.

However, the heat and tiredness are certainly uncomfortable, but in the final analysis, they are still tolerable.

But not thirsty.

I am so thirsty.

I'm so thirsty.

So why on earth should I drink up all the water so early?Can't I just save some sips?

If this continues, can I really live to see Master—no, can I really live to see the sun tomorrow?

"Come on, Sisi." Maybe it was because I was too weak, Li Nali patted my back and cheered me up.

Then he walked behind the two peers, Allen and Rabbi, and patted them each: "You two too."

Allen: "... oh."

"Cersi, are you okay?" The rabbi's voice suddenly came from diagonally ahead.

After I heard it, I turned my head like a robot, my eyes were distracted, my lips were slightly parted, and I looked at him blankly.

Rabbi: "..."

Rabbi: "Look, Allen! Ceci's eyes are dead!"

Not only is my eyes dead, my soul is about to come out of my body, you know.

"Sisi is also a parasitic type, and he must be too hungry." Allen tried to analyze himself, "I...I can understand that feeling."

No, you don't understand, your whole general direction is wrong.

"That's why I asked you to save some food... There is really no way to do this. We can only wait until the next town to talk about it. The two of you hold on a little longer."

As the rabbi said, he took off the water bag and was about to put it to his mouth, but after meeting my dull envious eyes, he put his hand down again for some reason.

"Rabbi?" Seeing him stop abruptly, Allen, who was walking beside him, turned his head in doubt, "What's wrong?"

"Ah...it's nothing, it's just that I don't want to drink water suddenly... I wonder if I can buy that kind of iced wine in the next town."

"Huh? Rabbi, are you still drinking?"

"Do you think I'm you, Allen? I'm already an adult!"

"Ordinary adults don't call themselves adults..." Crowley took the words listlessly.

"What are you doing, Xiao Ke, anyway... Anyway, I just want to drink now, not water, but it's a pity that so much water is poured out."

Allen was surprised: "But, why did you pour it out?"

The rabbi didn't answer, and after a few seconds, when I looked up, I found that he had already approached.

"Cersi, have you run out of water?" He hesitated for a moment and asked me, "Because you look...you seem very thirsty."

I nodded slowly, and subconsciously licked my dry lips, trying not to let my eyes stick to the water bag he handed over like a hungry wolf seeing meat.

"Why don't you help me drink the rest of this?"

"You...don't drink?" I asked with difficulty, restraining my eager paws with extraordinary and unparalleled perseverance.

Let me tell you, if you don't take it back, I will be really rude, I... I will be rude, but even Allen is afraid of me.

"Well, I don't really want to drink water right now," but the rabbi handed it to me with a wink, "but it would be a pity to pour it out for wine, so Sisi will drink it for me. .”

It turned out to be dumped.

That's...that's too wasteful.

The rabbi's original intention should be to pass it to me, but he didn't want me to rush over to him in a state of extreme sluggishness and drink it.

Rabbi: "..."

Rabbi: "Wait, wait a minute! Don't drink so fast, be careful not to choke, it's all yours, and no one will grab it from you."

But I can't hear a word.

In this way, after a dozen or so sips of water, the whole talent came back to life, and after a few seconds, his mind also returned to the cage.

I blinked very slowly, and my eyes first fell on the hand that was holding the rabbi tightly, and then moved down, and found that my mouth was still tightly against the mouth of the rabbi.

I:"……"

So, are we... indirect kissing?

·

However, I was the only one who was so shocked that I let go of my hands suddenly, stepped back a few steps, and felt that something was wrong.

The rabbi didn't seem to realize that there was anything wrong with my mouth-to-mouth drinking from his water bottle - of course, it could have been, but he didn't take it seriously.

To be honest, I think the latter is more likely.

After all...companions love something, right?

I don't know if I should breathe a sigh of relief or be disappointed.

After walking for a long time, we finally arrived at a town after a long absence.

But got bad news, saying that the water source in this area has already dried up.

"Originally not far from the town, there was a large lake, and the water flowed into the town from there." The resident who entertained us recalled, "But I don't know what happened, since a certain day a month ago , The water level of that lake suddenly began to drop sharply without warning, and recently, even drinking water has begun to be in short supply.”

Even so, we were each given a precious little glass of water in addition to the tasty meals.

The rabbi sitting across from me and I picked up the water glass at the same time, I took a small sip, but the rabbi put the water glass back intact after meeting my eyes.

I glanced at him, didn't think too much, just stared at my cup, and began to think about how to drink the water in a thousand gulps.

"Then have you found the reason for the depletion of the water source?" Shuweng asked.

"Still don't have a clue," the resident shook his head. "According to those who went to investigate, the water in the lake is constantly decreasing even when it rains."

"Is it also decreasing when it rains?" Li Nali was surprised.

"That's weird," Crowley said.

"Wait, speaking of strangeness," the rabbi hesitantly took over the words, "Do you think this is a strange phenomenon caused by holiness?"

Allen was stunned: "You said that..."

Shuweng folded his sleeves and nodded: "It is indeed possible."

So after we discussed it, we decided to divide the troops into two groups. Alian and Li Nali stayed in the city to inquire about the news, while the remaining four went to investigate the water source.

Before setting off, I sipped the water in the glass slowly and slowly, and just as I was about to put the glass back on the table, a hand with slender fingers and well-defined knuckles appeared in my sight, directly filling another glass full. Water was placed in front of me.

I looked up in surprise, and saw the rabbi sat back as if nothing had happened, paused, and patted Crowley on the shoulder next to him, and then the two stood up together.

——It’s as if I didn’t realize it at all, and I did a lot of things.

The sunlight that leaked in from the window suddenly increased, and thousands of rays of golden light radiated behind him. I looked at him while drinking water, and I felt that my sweetheart was so dazzling that it was impossible to look at him.

... It's over, Master, I seem to be getting deeper and deeper into your apprenticeship.

"Well, isn't there too many people investigating the water source?" When we were about to part, Li Nali suddenly interrupted my distraction, "Why don't Sisi stay in the city with us?"

"I think it's okay," Allen was about to nod, but when he met my sideways gaze, he changed his words in a second, "No, I don't think it's okay! As long as there are me and Li Nali in the city, Ceci still Let's investigate the water source together."

That's right.

I secretly gave him a thumbs up from an angle that no one else could see.

Allen glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and sighed a little.

After saying goodbye to Allen and Li Nali, the four of us followed the path pointed by the residents and soon found the big lake that caused the water shortage in the town.

In the open land surrounded by dense forests, under the light of the pale golden sun, the wind blows and the lake sparkles, glowing with the color of emerald emerald.

"There's really no water coming out," Crowley glanced in. "No wonder there's less and less water in the town."

"No, Xiao Ke, look carefully," the rabbi knelt down, "not only is there no water flowing out, but the water level in this lake is also continuously dropping."

I squatted down next to him, and looked in with my probe, and sure enough, I found that the clear and clear lake water was continuously infiltrating at a constant speed, as if something at the bottom of the lake was continuously absorbing them.

"But where did the disappearing lake water go?"

Shuweng: "No matter where you go, you have to go through some channels."

The rabbi nodded: "Since it didn't flow out, it means there is something at the bottom of the lake."

"So that's it," Crowley suddenly realized, "Then let's go down and have a look?"

"not now."

"Don't be so hasty, Xiaoke."

Shuweng and Rabbi stopped him at the same time.

"Huh? Why?"

The Shuweng didn't answer, just looked a little to the other side of the lake.

I looked along and saw that in the dense forest on the other side, there seemed to be many people in ambush.When I looked carefully, I found that all of them were holding sticks and staring at us.

Shu Weng: "There is a problem with water resources. It is not incomprehensible that the residents of the town have become nervous. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, it is better not to go into the water in front of them."

Crowley: "But wouldn't that make it impossible to investigate?"

"It's simple," the rabbi said. "When the sun goes down, they won't be able to guard such a large lake no matter how many people there are. They will definitely find a chance then."

He said, and found a flat grass, and lay down on the spot.

"Anyway, it's still early, so I'll sleep for a while—"

"That's the only way to go." Shuweng and Crowley also found a shaded place and sat down.

I glanced to the left, to the right, and pretended to think for a while, before quietly sitting next to the rabbi.

After a pause, he moved closer quietly.

When I got closer, I realized that the rabbi was breathing evenly and long, with his arms under his pillow and his legs crossed.

He fell asleep.

Speaking of it, his trick of falling asleep in a second is not too powerful.

When I was in the church before, I bumped into it four or five times; in the subsequent travels of the two, I experienced it many times.

Basically, just put it on the pillow, and you can fall asleep anytime, anywhere.

The sky in the afternoon was so blue that it seemed to have been washed by water. There were no clouds in the sky, and the sun shone down without hindrance, melting away a warm temperature.

The rabbi's eyelashes trembled a couple of times, not knowing whether it was because he was comfortable in the sun or because he felt dazzled.

I thought about it, raised my hand tentatively, and vainly covered his eyes.

It may be that I feel guilty subconsciously. While maintaining this movement, I sneakily and pretended to be casually glanced in the direction of the bookman and Crowley.

This glance was good, and it directly met Shuweng's pair of panda eyes that could not see any emotion.

I:"……"

Without changing my face, I turned my head and put my hands back, and I straightened my hair in a very natural way, which was not windy or messed up at all.

Then I didn't dare to move for a long time.

It wasn't until the feeling of thorns on his back completely disappeared that he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that the way the bookman looked at me when I turned around just now...is a bit strange.

As if he knew me.

As soon as this idea came up, I took it back without hesitation.

Of course he knows me.

I'm also a staff member of the Kuros team, if he still doesn't know me, what's the deal?

I feel so thirsty.

·

The rabbi can really sleep. I curled up next to him and slept for an hour. When I woke up, I found that it was not time. I had nothing to do. I watched his sleeping face for an hour. I was accidentally discovered by Crowley in order to dispel the suspicion of the honest man. He told the story for another hour, and he didn't wake up until the red sun was setting.

The sunset glow was light and thick, and the entire dense forest we were in and the lake surrounded by it were shrouded in a soft and dark red light.

"Ah—ah, I slept so comfortably—" Rabbi stretched his waist and stood up neatly, "It's almost time, isn't it?"

Here we just talked about "the mother and son originally wanted to go to the other side of the ocean with great hope, but the father of the child was analyzed by everyone. The man has long since abandoned his wife and son and married a new love." After a few steps, we walked towards the Shuweng who had already been waiting by the lake.

"What's the matter, Xiao Ke, what are you crying for?"

"No, it's nothing, it's just too touching."

Rabbi: "?"

"Can we go down now?" Crowley asked.

"Let me see... well, wait a little longer, until it's completely dark."

Shuweng originally planned to wait with us, but he didn't know what happened halfway, so he left behind saying "I'll leave it to you, I'll go back to the city first".

"Ah—really, this old panda man."

No way, we had no choice but to wait for the three of us.

After a while, the sunset glow finally dissipated, the western sky was gray, and the thick twilight gathered from the depths of the shady forest. Not long after, the moon was in the sky.

Even with the light of the moon shining, the surroundings are still dark, and all the scenery is blurred.

it's time.

The rabbi and Crowley decisively took off their regimental uniforms.

I paused, and put my hands on the buttons of the exploration windbreaker.

"Huh? Wait, Sisi, don't take it off too," the rabbi caught a glimpse of my movement when he rolled up his trousers, and quickly stopped him. Wait on the shore."

So what am I here for?Are you looking at clothes?

Me: "... Playing with water is such a good thing, don't try to exclude me."

"What are you playing with the water?" the rabbi said helplessly, "the temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is so big, the temperature is already low at night, and the water is even colder—don't worry, we will come up soon."

I paused, and just as I was about to say it's okay, Crowley suddenly said, "Cersi, are you afraid of the dark? That's why you dare not stay up there alone?"

Afraid of the dark?

What do you think.

Master has done no less than ten times to leave me or Allen in the deep mountains and old forests in the middle of the night because he forgot that there was a child behind him while walking.

However, at the critical moment when I wanted to deny it, I suddenly thought of Master's teachings——

I gave up struggling for a second, accepted the soft (cowardly) weak (small) setting without changing my face, and nodded with full emotion: "Scared."

"Huh?" The rabbi was taken aback, "But, when you traveled before, didn't you return yourself..."

"That's because your memory is wrong. To be honest, I... have been afraid of the dark since I was a child," I insisted. "Very afraid, very afraid, terribly afraid."

I even pretended to be trembling in order to make my words sound more convincing.

As for the matter of accidentally making the vibration a little bit bigger due to lack of experience-it doesn't matter, it's just a small flaw, and it doesn't affect the overall situation.

But for some reason, the rabbi and the others didn't seem to think so.

Crowley was immediately confused: "What's the matter? Why did Ceci shake so hard all of a sudden? Is it an earthquake?"

The rabbi's expression also became serious: "No, this is obviously sick! Sisi, what exactly is wrong with you now?"

I:"……?"

What do you mean?Are you serious?Can you tell me that the weak girl is trembling because she is afraid of the dark?

The author has something to say:

Sisi: "???"

By the way, look at Rabbi’s performance in this chapter, and then look at his performance in the first few chapters, is the contrast super obvious (compared to V
