Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 216 Give you a little red flower
"Uncle Casili, I brought the firewood back." Wearing a sheriff's hat and a linen shirt, Feis threw a bundle of firewood on the ground and then looked at Casili.

As for why he kept wearing that hat and refused to take it off...

It wasn't because he missed his days as sheriff on Caravis Island, but because he had already started to suffer from baldness at a young age.

Faith, 28 years old, is the youngest of the five sheriffs who escaped, second only to Kaz.

Unlike several other older guys, he was a very good shooter, at least in this pirate world where most people were in their twilight years, he was definitely in the top 1%.

Of course, no matter what, it is definitely a little bit worse than Xia He.

At the same time, Walter and Kuroto, one 35 years old and the other 38 years old, were lying on the lounge chairs on the left and right of the door, saying that they wanted to protect the safety of Minian's family, but in fact they just didn't want to go out to chop wood in this hot weather.

After all, we have been working in the fields every day for this period of time. Now that we finally have a chance to rest for a while, no one would be too lazy to move.

"By the way, where's Xia He? Didn't he come back with you?"

Casiri was standing in the living room on the first floor, holding two stone dumbbells engraved with 30kg, and while bending them, he asked Faith.

It has been almost three months since he fully recovered. Now, not only does Casilli no longer cough, he has even started exercising at Xia He's suggestion.

If it weren't for his daughter's strong opposition, he would have continued his shipbuilding business in this small mountain village.

"He should still be on the mountain." Fei Si grinned and said, "Don't worry, with Brother Pat and Village Chief Kedemo here, Xia He and Minnian, there will definitely be no accidents."

“Really?” Kurto, who was lying on the chair, yawned, then stood up and said to the others with shining eyes, “Why don’t we take out the wine Xia He brewed and have a couple of drinks while no one is around?”

Ever since they drank the wine brewed by Xia He himself, not only Kurto but the others also found it hard to forget.

That's greedy...

If Xia He hadn't told them to drink less of this stuff, they would have probably drunk up all the wine in their home.

"But... drinking during the day? What if Minian or my wife finds out..." Casilli seemed a little hesitant.

When he lived on the island of Caravis, he was known for being henpecked. Even if his wife told him to sleep, he would never dare to open his eyes.

If his wife caught him...

He simply couldn't imagine the consequences.

"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who will know?" Kurto licked his lips.

Walter also echoed at the side at this time: "Yes, Brother Casili, drink less, it's okay, anyway, sister-in-law is still taking a nap now, she definitely won't."

The words fell.

"Casiri!"

Mili, who was standing at the second floor stairs and heard the entire "conspiracy" clearly, put her hands on her hips and shouted with a dissatisfied expression: "What did you say just now, what do you want to do?"

Casilli: “.”

"No...nothing." He quickly put down the dumbbells and chuckled twice.

Then, under everyone's gaze, he ran straight to the door.

"Where are you going?" Kurto asked.

"Running!" Casilli said without turning his head: "Xia He said that combining running with weightlifting is the most scientific way to exercise!"

After saying that, he ran away along the stone path outside the door that the villagers had spontaneously built for their homes.

Only Mili was left, still with her hands on her hips, looking at the direction where he disappeared with veins all over her forehead, sneering, "If you have the guts, don't come back."

Then, she walked downstairs and cast her eyes on the other three people who were whistling and pretending to be innocent. "Who just encouraged my husband to drink?"

Kuroto: ∑(O_O;)
Walter: ∑(O_O;)
Fez: ()
……

"Xia He, little brother, this is for you."

On the mountain.

In the dense forest.

Xia He, who had set a trap and was waiting for his prey to take the bait, just yawned when a bright red flower suddenly appeared in front of his face.

Xia He turned his head and saw a childish, fair and smiling face. The child had chubby cheeks and a purple hairband on the forehead. A pair of big water-blue eyes were staring straight at Xia He, making Xia He feel a little uncomfortable.

There is no way to be called "little brother" by a little girl of seven or eight years old...

For an old guy who is over 200 years old, this is undoubtedly something he doesn't want to pay attention to.

So he simply ignored the other party and continued to focus his attention on the trap in the open space.

When the little girl saw this, a look of disappointment flashed across her face.

But she was not discouraged. She just thought that Xia He didn't like the appearance and color of this flower, so she turned around and went to the flower bush and continued picking the flowers that she thought Xia He would be interested in.

"No, where on earth did that fellow Kedemo go?"

There was no intention of stopping the little girl. Instead, Xia He, feeling relieved, began to look for the village chief and his wife.

Yes, that's right.

The little girl who just gave him flowers was none other than the daughter of the village head and his wife, Lena.

Then again, shouldn’t “old people” like children?

The answer is naturally no.

Not to mention other old people.

Take Xia He for example.

He lived for more than two hundred years in his previous life and had raised countless children, many of whom were naughty ones.

To the point that whenever he sees a child now, he feels like staying away from them.

Could this be what is called PTSD?

He shook his head and refocused.

Not long after, when another sika deer fell into the trap and began to struggle to jump out, Xia Hedu had not yet stepped forward to control the sika deer. Suddenly, he heard Lian Na's scream from the flowers not far away: "Ah!!"

Xia He: "?"

He frowned, turned around and immediately ran in the direction where the sound came from. The next moment, when he pushed aside the weeds that were much taller than him, he saw a wild boar standing in front of Lena, with its sharp fangs inserted into the soft grass, and it almost pierced Lena's body.

"Fuck..."

Xia He looked up at the huge wild boar.

He lowered his head and looked at Lena who was about to cry.

Then, he suddenly took out the flintlock pistol from his waist and fired two shots at the wild boar's eyes.
