A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 376 Are you kidding me?
At this moment, Lyon looked at the letter in his hand again, sighed, and muttered to himself.

"Since it was whizzed into my hands, it must have been providential. Although this providential might have been Linus or Master Rasmodesmus, it wasn't stolen by me personally. If Abigail finds out, you'll have to take the blame for it."

After silently reciting these words of self-comfort, Leon felt much better. He then spread out the letter and checked the contents.

On the other side, Abigail, who had just walked out to the kitchen, suddenly felt a breeze blowing on her cheek, moving the hair by her ears. This made her very confused because there was rarely any wind in the house.

This made her turn around and look in the direction where the wind was blowing. It was coming from her room.

But Abigail remembered that the windows of her room were closed tightly, so there was no way there could be any wind.

This made her feel something was wrong, so Abigail turned around and walked back to her room. The first thing she noticed when she returned to her room was that the window of her room had been opened without her knowing when.

Abigail walked quickly forward to the window sill. Her footsteps were very obvious, and her small leather shoes made a continuous clicking sound on the wooden floor of the room.

Under normal circumstances, Lyon would be able to detect the footsteps immediately and realize that Abigail has returned, but Lyon, who was reading a letter at the moment, did not hear any movement at all, so he was still concentrating on the contents of the letter.

While Leon was reading the letter, Abigail also walked to the windowsill and saw a very surprising yet familiar figure leaning against the window outside her house reading a letter.

"Leon! You can't read this letter!"

Although it was outrageous that Leon appeared in this strange place at this time, Abigail thought of the curse that was specifically mentioned in the letter about people other than herself who would bear the curse after reading the letter, and immediately reached out to Leon to try to snatch the letter back.

At this time, Leon also regained his hearing. He heard Abigail's voice and subconsciously rolled sideways to avoid the window. Then he prepared to climb over the wall and escape from Pierre's backyard.

"Even though it was discovered, as long as you're not caught, it's not considered burglary."

This was a famous quote said by a thief whom Lyon once met in prison. At this moment, Lyon suddenly remembered this sentence and felt that he was a veteran and what he said should be right.

Although there is a second half to this sentence, which is: "Of course, that was in the past. Now there are cameras everywhere on the streets. Even if you run away, the footage has been recorded. You will eventually be caught and rehabilitated, so young people should not even think about committing crimes."

But in this world, Leon doesn't think there are surveillance cameras installed in Pierre's house, so as long as he runs away, there should be no problem.

But just as Leon reached the edge of the wall and was about to jump over the not-too-high fence, he suddenly found that an invisible force had bound him, and then he was unable to move as if locked up. He was dragged back to Abigail's window by this force, and was thrown directly into the house, and finally fell on Abigail's bed.

The bed was soft and still somewhat warm, and one could even smell the familiar lilac scent of Abigail's shampoo. This should have been a very charming scene, but Leon was sweating profusely.

He knew that he was being plotted.

That invisible force obviously did not belong to Abigail. Someone must have interfered with her escape plan. Leon couldn't be sure who it was for the time being, but Rasmodesmus and Linus were definitely under suspicion.

As the magician guarding Stardew Valley, Rasmodes, the former mage, possesses this kind of energy manipulation, a skill he could easily master. Furthermore, as evidenced by the specially prepared treasure chest he caught while fishing, Rasmodes is quite concerned about Abigail, making him a strong suspect. Meanwhile, Linus, the latter, claimed to have left Stardew Valley to visit an old friend, but before leaving, he specifically reminded Leon to check on Abigail, making him an instigator. Furthermore, Linus possesses the unique gift of Wind Whisper, so it's understandable that the invisible force was actually wind, but this doesn't rule out Linus as a suspect.

Abigail didn't expect that Leon, who was about to run away, would fly back and land on her bed. While she was surprised, she reacted quickly, closed the window immediately, and ran to the bed to block Leon's escape route.

Seeing Abigail opening her hands to stop him, Leon had already prepared his words and was ready to bear Abigail's anger.

But Abigail didn't scold him as Leon thought, nor did she punch him in the face. Instead, she sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at Leon with concern, and asked, "Are you okay? Do you feel anything wrong or uncomfortable?"

"Uh, it's okay." Although he didn't know why Abigail suddenly cared about him, Leon still answered truthfully.

Although that evil force threw him onto the bed, it did not actually cause any physical harm to him, and Leon did not feel any discomfort in his body.

"That's not right. Logically, you should be cursed by now, but why do you look unharmed? Could it be that the curse has a delay?"

Abigail, who was observing Leon carefully, saw Leon's healthy complexion and bright eyes, and was immediately confused when she heard Leon's vigorous answer.

"What curse?" Leon asked puzzledly after hearing Abigail's words.

"You haven't finished reading the letter?" Abigail asked.

"No, you came too quickly and the letter was too long. I only read half of it." Leon shook his head.

Abigail didn't say anything, but snatched back the letter that was still in Leon's hand.

"Perhaps it's because I didn't finish reading the letter, so the curse on it wasn't triggered."

Abigail sighed with relief after receiving the letter, then glared at Leon and roared: "Leon, you are crazy! You actually climbed over the wall into my backyard and sneaked into my house to steal things. Do you want to spend a quiet weekend at the police station!"

"Ahem, I really didn't steal anything. The letter floated over by itself, and the window opened by itself. I just squatted under the window, and the letter flew over to me by itself." Leon explained with a dry cough.

"Do you think I'll believe it? Even if you make up an excuse, you can't make it up this ridiculous!"

Abigail looked at Leon with disdain and complained.

　I would like to thank the boss who is having a hard time finding books for the reward of 500 Qidian coins. Thank you, boss. I wish you good health, all the best, and all your wishes come true.
