Chapter 107: Maria the Good Woman
Chapter 107: Maria the Good Woman
"Feel sorry?"
Maria repeated the word, looked at him with some doubts, and then showed a suddenly realized expression.
"It's okay, it's nothing. I woke up last night and found that you were sitting on the side of the bed and fell asleep, so I simply pulled you up. After all, it's quite cold here at night. If you catch a cold, it won't be good."
"You pulled me up?" Victor looked at Maria in disbelief.
A terminally ill little girl with slender arms and legs can pull a 1.8-meter old man?Is she lying to him?And no matter how sleepy he is, he won't be unaware of being pulled and moved... right?
But since Victor didn't have the experience of "being dragged to bed after falling asleep", he also had a murmur in his heart.
Did he really sleep so dead?
However, Victor consciously woke up refreshed, and it seemed that the quality of sleep was not affected by last night's fright at all. Maybe he did sleep deeply.
Victor grabbed his hair and asked hesitantly: "I'm a man, so you just put me on the bed and covered me with the same quilt, isn't that good?" @无限好文,全在晋江文学城
Originally, his awareness of male and female defense was not obvious, but after seeing Ivan's subtle attitude towards Maria yesterday, Victor became sensitive again unconsciously, thinking that this might not be good.
The "little girl" rolled her eyes, didn't answer this question, turned around and started to take care of herself. For the convenience of moving, she combed her jet-black hair into a thick braid, but she didn't look rustic at all, only added Kind of pretty.
The copper basin on the shelf in the house has been filled with clear water, green salt and willow branches at some time, which looks very primitive.
Ps: No matter whether it is towels, green salt, or willow branches, there is only one person. It is obviously a service for "brides", and you have to do everything by yourself.
After Victor discovered this, he thought about going outside to find water to wipe his face, and drinking two more glasses of water as a mouthwash. If you are on the scene, you must insist on bringing your own facial cleanser, toothpaste and toothbrush.
God knows why the pimples on the main body are brought to the prosthetic body... If you don't use facial cleanser, I don't know if the situation will become serious.
Victor, who is only 15 years old but already has to pay attention to all kinds of men's skin care products and spends most of his pocket money on them, is very worried.
Then he found that Maria took out a small transparent plastic bag containing toiletries by herself, including toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, and even a few bags of shampoo.
Super complete.
Maria took out a large cup, filled it with water from the washbasin, rinsed her mouth, patted her face a few times to wipe it clean, and then waved to Victor: "William, I'm fine, but the water is gone." If it gets dirty, you can wash it."
Victor asked in surprise, "Why are you still carrying these with you?"
Maria replied slowly: "I'm an overseas student. I didn't want to study anymore after I found out that I was sick. I was going back to my hometown before. Who knew that I had checked my luggage and was about to board the plane. I fell into this inexplicable place. place."
Now that you are going to start a cross-country trip, it is not surprising to have toiletries on your body.
There is no reason to refute it.
Victor thanked, and Maria handed over a small box, opened it, and drank it. It turned out to be an essential oil soap in the shape of a puppy.
Miss Maria said gently: "This is face soap. You have acne, don't you? It would be better to use this."
The boy suddenly felt that the girl was so considerate, and he thanked again: "Thank you, Maria."
Then when the face was washed, there was no one in the room. Victor felt tense and ran outside, only to see Maria squatting next to the severed hand and looking at it.
There was no trace of fear on her face, but curiosity in her eyes, she raised her head and waved when she saw Victor approaching.
"William, what's the matter with this hand?"
Victor paused, then said, "I was attacked last night by a female ghost."
He dragged Maria to sit on the couch next to him, and talked about what happened last night, but he subconsciously didn't talk about Yushou. He only said that the female ghost seemed to be attacked by something suddenly, and escaped from the window.
The girl was not afraid when she heard this, she touched the blanket on the window, and praised him back: "You did a good job, and you know how to cover the windows. My grandfather (Anatole) told me that in ancient times, People pay special attention to closing the doors and windows at night to prevent evil spirits from invading the house."
"Especially those pagoda trees outside the house, known as shade trees in the east, attract ghosts, so people who are more particular will not build their houses next to pagoda trees, not to mention that there are not only pagoda trees around, but A locust forest, even if a group of ghosts live in it, it’s not surprising.”
Victor swallowed: "Yes, is that so?"
Maria nodded seriously: "You see, the temperature here is close to 20 degrees during the day, but the night wind is very cold at night, right? I heard from the old man (or Anatoly) at home that this is a cloudy wind that brings ghosts." Qi, so it's bone-chillingly cold."

Victor's hairs stood on end, he felt that the houses around him were already gloomy, more terrifying than any haunted house in the real world.
Maria didn't realize how horrifying her words were, and she was able to analyze them with reason.
"I think that although the severed hand is frozen now and has traces of electric shock, it should have been soaked in water before it was frozen."
Victor touched his heart without any trace: "Well, how did you know that this was soaked in water?"
Maria pointed to the severed hand: "Observe it and you will know, the skin is wrinkled, isn't this a sign of being soaked? It should have been soaked for a long time, and it still looks like a giant. This is the hand of a dead man, look. Come on, you are lucky, I heard from grandpa that most water ghosts are very fierce, and they will be trapped in the place where they died and cannot be reincarnated, so they will pull passers-by to be ghosts for the dead, and trap them there for themselves, and then they can pass away. "
Thinking about last night, I suddenly realized that I almost became Victor for the dead ghost: "..."
Is it so scary?
Then Maria didn't stop talking, and blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
This girl should really take the screenwriting major in the future, and then write a book about ghost movies, she will definitely become popular.
Victor would rather go into the room and sit on the floor to stay up late last night than to be in the same room with this severed hand, let alone observe it carefully.
He wiped off his cold sweat: "You are really brave, you can still be so calm in the face of such a terrifying thing."
"After all, if you lose your composure, you will only become more numb in the face of dangerous situations."
Maria asked softly: "So how are you going to deal with this matter? Are you going to tell others?"
"For example, Aiwen, he and Maggie should be seniors, maybe they can give you some help."
Victor was startled, and lowered his head in thought.
Are you going to tell those people?
After a while, he looked at Maria, and said pleadingly, "Maria, can I ask you for a favor?"
The girl sat next to him and rolled her eyes: "Well, tell me."
"I don't want to tell Ivan what happened to them here, so can you please don't say it."
Victor's expression became firm: "I always feel that Aiwen and the others are not good people. After all, who would ask someone's name and address as soon as they come up? And he also..."
He couldn't continue, and Maria continued: "He covets my beauty, doesn't he?"
So she knew!
Victor was a little surprised, but he didn't feel surprised. After all, a beauty like Maria should be targeted by perverts every day, and she might have been experienced for a long time.
He calmly said: "They said that they need to find the key and the exit before they can leave here. Maybe this matter is not a lie. After all, they seem to need the help of newcomers like us to find clues, but there are some things that we can choose to hide. Although we know very little and can only take one step at a time, we must be cautious."
After saying this, Victor looked at the girl, waiting for her answer.
Maria thought for a while, then nodded to Victor: "Well, I think what you said makes sense, so let's do it this way."
Then she got up and kicked the frozen severed hand to the bed. The rough action made Victor twitch, but the girl didn't notice it, and turned around and stretched out her hand to Victor: "Anyway, the situation is special. You've been sleeping in the past few days. Come on, I'll give you half of the bed."
Victor breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at her: "Then thank you."
He held that hand, feeling that the two had reached a cooperation agreement.
Being able to have an ally who looks calm and bold in this strange and weird place and knows a lot of stories about ghosts also reassures Victor a lot, at least he is no longer alone and helpless.
After getting along with Ms. Maria for a while, maybe I can try to tell her about the guard, after all, it's too much to rely on.
Victor thought so, and went downstairs with Maria, and saw Jin Shuzhen crying, and Kojiro walking beside him furiously.
"What's going on here?"
Victor walked up to Jin Shuzhen and asked a question, Jin Shuzhen seemed to have someone to confide in, and she poured out the matter all at once.
What she said was that there was only one set of washing tools in the house, which was obviously reserved for the bride, so Jin Shuzhen used it as a matter of course, and then Kojiro lost his temper, thinking that she was too selfish and did not consider the outside roommates.
Then Kojiro also began to argue, saying that he thought the space was already very weird, and everyone should cooperate more when they fell here, but Jin Shuzhen didn't think about him at all. Fortunately, he carried her into the room yesterday, and he will not carry her back today. She's dead, let this selfish woman stay alone in the house and wait for the ghost to eat her.
So Jin Shuzhen cried even harder.
Victor: "..."
No, it's all over, do you still care about these little things?
Being so angry, it's no wonder that Mr. Kojiro has a bad liver.
In such a comparison, he and Maria are simply too harmonious.
Maria, on the other hand, seemed not interested in the quarrel at all. She went to the kitchen with a natural face, and then waved to Victor in surprise while leaning on the wall: "William, there is a stove here, and there are a lot of fresh food. Shrimp, mushrooms, and cabbage, my grandma said that cooking on the stove is very delicious, much better than induction cooker and gas stove, do you eat three fresh noodles?"
After being called by Miss Maria, she immediately got up and said, "Eat! Do you want to help?"
"Yes, come and help me light a fire."
Maria looked around, then turned her head and asked, "Can the two who are arguing still have breakfast?"
The stunningly beautiful girl asked with a smile if she wanted to eat or not, which was something no one could refuse, and most of the group of people hadn't eaten yesterday, so it was even more impossible to refuse the temptation of food.
@无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City
"That's 14 servings."
Maria hummed a song and rolled up her sleeves, looking like she was going to show off her skills. Her smile is sunny and cute. It is no exaggeration to say that it makes the scorpion shine. Just looking at her figure will make you feel better stand up.
Liu Bei looked at her back and also praised: "What a good woman."
Zhao Yun looked at Miss Maria's back fascinatedly, and sighed: "In reality, she definitely has no shortage of people to chase, but she got such a disease and entered this ghost place again. Alas, this is what God's jealous beauty is referring to." .”
Victor squatted in the kitchen and lit the firewood under Maria's instructions. Because there was no lighter, the girl showed him how to use the flint on the stove to spark sparks to ignite the velvet grass, and then burn the firewood. , and Victor just needs to be responsible for keeping the fire burning.
This is a very typical farm kitchen. There are almost no modern facilities. The seasoning is thirteen incense, and there is no label on the soy sauce bottle. farm implements.
Maria looks pale and thin, but she does the work in the kitchen very quickly. She set up the pot deftly, and first fried the cleaned and processed cabbage, shrimp and mushrooms, and poured rice wine on the vegetables to make them savory. With a bang, the aroma swept the entire kitchen. As a Slav who loves alcohol, Victor took a deep breath intoxicated.
Then Maria added boiling water to the pot, stewed a pot of white three-flavored soup, then poured the soup into a large pot, and boiled water to cook the noodles.
When the dishes were on the table, she put a pair of serving chopsticks on the basin: "Pick as much noodles as you want, and then scoop the toppings into the bowl and mix it well."
Meng Xue fanned the fan, smelled it, and sighed: "I haven't eaten something cooked on the stove for a long time, and it still smells so good."
Helena, Amanda, and Maggie are from Switzerland, Portugal, and Germany respectively, and they are not very good at using chopsticks. Maria prepared forks for them, and Maggie was so considerate and meticulous that Maggie looked at her with ease.
Aiwen even smiled and said to Maria: "It's really hard work for you."
Maria smiled at him, thinking that it would not be hard work at all to make a meal without a severed head. After all, he would go on the road when he was full. He had never left anything for those guys who came up and asked him his details, who were obviously members of the gray organization. The way to survive is to find out which organization they are and then do it. In reality, it is routine operation to cheat the gray organization in a fancy way.
What's more, this guy is obviously coveting his ass|ass, so it is even more impossible to spare his life.
After breakfast, Meng Xue, and Lu Lin took the initiative to clean up the table, and Jin Shuzhen also went to help wash the dishes. The middle-aged man named Wright shook his head and smiled: "Oriental women are virtuous, if I knew it, I would marry one." Asian woman."
The Austrian named Frank leaned over and chatted with him: "Is Mr. Wright married?"
"Oh, it won't be anymore soon. When that woman meets a younger and richer man, she will dump me and take her son to remarry. The thing of ungratefulness is that I sponsored her to go to university at the beginning."
Na Wright spoke with resentment, and his eyes darkened: "When I go out, I must give her a good look."
Helena showed disapproval on her face: "Hey, if your wife doesn't love you anymore, it will look ugly if you keep pestering her. Let her go and find someone more suitable for you. It's not divorced If you can't live, don't look like you want to kill someone."
These words were actually very pertinent. Wright stomped the bowl, gave her a vicious look, and turned to go upstairs. Helena was terrified by his eyes, and gasped heavily while rubbing her chest.
She complained, "Who is this?"
Aiwen is not surprised by this: "Okay, people who enter the space will inevitably have emotional problems, let him go."
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a coat and looking a little dignified walked over. His complexion was sallow like the boatman, the driver who drove the carriage yesterday, and the old mothers, but his expression was not as stiff as those people, on the contrary. Like the boatman, it appears nimble.
He glanced around and stopped for a while on the most beautiful Maria.
This guy claimed to be the village head, and said to the survivors: "Let's go, go to the River God Temple, and see how to get married, which one to marry first, and don't let the bride fall to the ground when sending off the bride. The River God doesn't like unclean women. Ominous."
Ivan nodded after hearing this, said wait a moment, and called Wright down, and a group of people followed him out of the yard.
Maria lay quietly on Victor's back, her little head kept looking left and right, as if she was curious about everything, but Victor no longer felt that she was naive.
This careful and bold girl must be observing her surroundings.
After walking for half an hour, they finally arrived at the River Shrine. The frail Kojiro was already out of breath, and almost threw Jin Shuzhen down several times, but Jin Shuzhen didn't dare to land, and kept holding him tightly, saying good things, Finally, it was carried to the Heshen Temple.
The Heshen Temple is a ancestral hall built of blue bricks, with red paint painted on the porch pillars, it has been cleaned cleanly, and water has been sprinkled on the ground.
Maria looked at it, and jumped to the ground decisively, startling the others.
Maria said with an innocent face: "What? There is no dust here, can't I go by myself?"
The village head looked back at her, and smiled softly: "Little lady is so lively and cute, the river god must like you, since you will marry the river god in the future, you can just treat the river god temple as your own, and of course you can do whatever you want here gone."
Maria raised an eyebrow at him: "That depends on how good the river god is. I'm not interested in marrying an ugly monster."
The village chief wasn't angry either, and Victor followed Maria, thinking that this was probably the privilege of a beauty. She looks so hot, even if Maria wanted to be a genius, no one would really have the heart to blame her .
Then, as the village chief said, they can act as they please.
Alvin originally wanted Maria to act with him and Maggie, and Maggie had no intention of objecting this time, but Maria seemed to have not noticed them, and took Victor to another place on her own. direction.
The air in the entire Heshen Temple is very humid, with enough water vapor as if in a sauna room, but it is not so hot, and you can smell a faint aroma of fireworks.
Maria seemed to be very familiar with this place, and walked in one direction directly.
Victor followed her, wondering, "Maria, where are you going? Do you know the way here?"
Maria didn't reply, and at this moment, a scream came.
The two stopped, and Victor looked in the direction of the voice: "Is that... Wright's voice?"
"Go, go and see!"
Maria started to run, and Victor quickly followed. After running, he realized that he seemed to be much faster, and his whole body was lighter, and Maria was also very light. Can't keep up.
The figure was getting further and further away, and Victor was about to stop her when he found himself losing his voice.
It was the same feeling as when he met the female ghost last night. An ominous premonition emerged in Victor's heart, and then the hoarse voice rang in his ears.
"Give me back my hand."
Victor: "..."
Ma'am, why is it you again?
He subconsciously wanted to take out the guard, but felt that his arm was being imprisoned. When he looked down, he saw a wrinkled pale hand that had already shown the phenomenon of a giant was holding him tightly.
Victor felt his body's heat drain rapidly from the place where he was held, and his body became cold.
The woman roared: "I don't want to be with that ugly monster anymore, let that Maria go for me, you all go to die!"
Victor bit the flesh of his cheek, desperately trying to move.
You must move.
get moving...
Help!
At this moment, a cold snort sounded like thunder.
Before passing out, Victor heard the sound of the tide.
=============================
"Hey, wake up, William, wake up!"
Victor was shaken awake, and saw the man named Liu Bei, squatting next to him with Zhao Yun and calling his alias, while Maria stood aside, wiping away tears and sobbing.
"I, what happened to me?"
Maria jumped right on top of him and punched him in the chest, nearly knocking Victor out again.
"Wow, wow, I'm scared to death by you!"
This girl's hands are so strong...
But after being punched, Victor felt that the coldness on his body was gradually subsiding, as if returning to the world.
Zhao Yun looked enviously at Victor, who was thrown into the arms of the beauty, and explained: "You suddenly ran towards a place just now, and Maria noticed something was wrong, so she pulled you desperately, and then you suddenly passed out. Brother Liu and I happen to be nearby, so come and have a look."
Liu Bei said in a deep voice, "You've been stumped, William, what happened just now?"
Victor supported Maria's shoulders, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and replied with a wry smile, "I seem to be entangled by a female ghost."
Maria, Liu Bei, and Zhao Yun called out in unison: "Female ghost?"
"Ah."
Victor stood up, rolled up the sleeve of his right arm, and saw a blue handprint on it.
"Hiss, are you being attacked by a ghost?"
Liu Bei frowned, and looked at Victor in surprise: "You survived the attack, your life is really big enough."
The tone of Liu Bei's words moved Victor's heart.
He tentatively asked: "Mr. Liu Bei, are you... also a senior?"
Maria also looked at Liu Bei expectantly, her eyes were still red, and she made such a pitiful expression that even a man would feel pity for him.
Liu Bei coughed and scratched his head: "That's right, let me tell you, you can't tell others that I belong to the No. [-] Survivor Organization in Northeast China - the Third Ditch, and the sixth round has already passed. gone."
Zhao Yun gave a thumbs up to the side: "That's right, our brother Liu is the boss!"
The author has something to say:
The next update will be before 12 o'clock. I'm sorry that I went home late yesterday. I will resume the [-]D update today. Please give Mushroom a lot of comments.
