"Eh?"
Alsophila held the freshly grilled fish in his hand, a look of surprise on his face.
The nursery rhyme continued, "You and your father found this sword together. Apart from your father, no one knows how to use this sword better than you, and no one understands the meaning of this sword better than you. Only in your hands can it be used correctly, and in this way, you don't have to worry about it falling into the hands of the wrong person and causing trouble."
Alsophila took a big bite of the fish seriously. As she chewed, she said, "I have considered this, but I can't do it. I am not interested in fighting and killing. I am not like my father who can talk big and easily get a group of people to follow him. This sword will be wasted in my hands. I still have to find a master like my father or Uncle Nanxing for it."
You are not interested in fighting and killing?
The fish and animals you ate will cry!
Since Alsophila spinulosa thought so, Tong Yao did not insist.
She wanted to see sparks fly between Alsophila and the sword of Merifith, but there was no rush. Alsophila still had a long lifespan, and she had enough time to recognize herself.
Seeing that Tong Yao stopped talking, Alsophila raised another grilled fish and handed it to Tong Yao.
"You eat, you eat too."
Tong Yao smiled and shook her head: "Please treat me to real grilled fish next time."
“Real grilled fish?”
When Alsophila spinulosa was stunned, the nursery rhyme had disappeared.
"!"
Alsophila quickly stood up, and when she did, she found herself awakened from her dream.
Oh.
It turned out that she was dreaming, no wonder she spoke just now.
By the way, who was the person who talked to her in the dream?
Alsophila thought hard but could not remember what that person looked like. As time went by, that person's appearance began to overlap with her own.
Was it her who asked herself this question in her dream?
A new day has begun. Let’s go get something to eat. Let’s have fish today.
41 Why don’t I grow old?
After eating and drinking, Alsophila began to look for a new owner for the Sword of Murphys.
In fact, she was not very clear about what qualities the new owner of the Sword of Murphys should have. She only had a very vague concept.
First of all, that person cannot be a bad person!
[My father once said that if this sword falls into the hands of bad people, it will cause endless disasters.]
Secondly, that person must be a very brave person!
Whether a sword is used to kill people or to protect people, it will not work without courage.
Alsophila, who often watched Bai and Nanxing fight, and also fought with various animals himself, had a deep understanding of this.
[At least that person's courage cannot be lower than mine. ]
Then, that person’s strength cannot be bad either!
Alsophila knows very well that the sword left by his father is very powerful, but it cannot bring direct enhancement to the user. On the contrary, he feels as if his body is hollowed out every time he uses it.
Ultimately, how powerful this sword is depends on how the person who owns it uses it.
In the hands of a delicate person, it would be only slightly more powerful than an ordinary harpoon.
If it falls into the hands of a battle-hardened warrior, it is not impossible for him to achieve an exaggerated feat of chasing and chopping hundreds of people alone.
[You don’t need to hit hundreds of them, it’s too exaggerated. If you can hit ten, you can think about it carefully. 】
Finally, that person should be a person with great leadership qualities.
Her father told her more than once that two fists are no match for four hands. In this era, even the most powerful warriors need the support of a group of reliable companions to create great achievements.
[Let me see if there is such a person in this village. ]
Alsophila spinulosa started walking around the village.
Because she couldn't speak and because of what happened yesterday, she didn't run up to the villagers and make gestures, but instead eavesdropped on other people's conversations.
Next to the big tree at the entrance of the village, next to the watchtower in the village, and next to the village chief's house, as long as you look carefully, you can always find a curled-up Alsophila spinulosa in some hidden corner.
Don't say it, don't say it!
After eavesdropping for several days in a row, Alsophila found several very good targets for investigation.
The first target was an auntie who lived in the east of the village. It was said that she had killed a jungle monitor with her bare hands. She went to see it on purpose. The auntie was as big as two of her.
The second target was the village's master farmer, who was said to be able to do the work of two people and produce half as much grain as other farmers.
The third target was the village chief. When he was young, he was a good hunter. As he got older, although his physical strength was not as good as before, he was loved by most people in the village.
Alsophila spinulosa visited these three targets in turn, and the results were not only disappointing but also a little scary.
As the rumors say, that auntie is really a super ruthless person.
She felt that she was a big eater, eating four meals a day. Although the aunt only ate three meals a day, she had to use a bowl for each meal.
This was not the scariest thing. The scariest thing was that as soon as she entered the house, the aunt started to arrange a blind date for her.
"Girl, you're not married yet, right? It's hard to live alone, why don't you take a look at my kid."
The Alsophila spinulosa was so frightened that it ran away.
Then, she went to the home of the master farmer. The master was worthy of being called a master. He was good at farming and was generous. Seeing that she was skinny, he gave her a bag of grain directly.
【I am not here to beg for food. 】
Alsophila spinulosa made quick gestures.
But no matter how she gestured, the master just smiled. It was not until a villager passed by that she realized that the master's brain was not working very well and he was just a fool.
So Alsophila could only place her hopes on the village chief. However, she was greatly disappointed when she saw that the village chief had to stop and press his waist after walking a few steps.
There is no way a village chief like this could wield a sword!
Despite the successive blows, Alsophila spinulosa was not discouraged.
She decided to observe for a while. If she really couldn't find anyone, she would go to other villages. The world is so big, there must be someone who can wield the sword left by her father. The only problem is that she may not be able to find such a person before she dies.
She had actually thought about this problem. If she really couldn't find it, she would find a hidden place and throw away the sword before she died. She would never let the sword fall into the hands of the bad guys.
[God bless me, if I can successfully find a new owner for this sword, after I die, I will come to you and grill fish for you every day! ]
Alsophila folded his hands in prayer.
She didn't know how to get to the next village, but when she eavesdropped on the villagers' conversation, she learned that merchants would come from other villages every once in a while, and then she just had to follow those merchants to find the next village.
[As expected of me, I found a solution to the problem easily. 】
[My father always says that I am stupid and is afraid that I will suffer if no one takes care of me. In fact, I am quite smart, right? God, you must think so too! ]
Alsophila waited quietly, but before the merchant arrived, she first encountered a commotion in the village.
The snow that winter was much heavier than in previous years. Most of the crops in the fields were frozen to death, and the number of animals near the village suddenly decreased a lot. The reduction in food brought hunger, crying, beatings, and unknown diseases.
Alsophila sat at the door of the house. Every day she would notice that fewer people passed by the door. After looking around, she realized that everyone had a similar disease. They were lying in bed, dizzy, coughing and having a runny nose.
This disease does not seem particularly deadly, but the impact it brings is huge.
Once one person in a family gets sick, others will soon be infected as well. When everyone in the family falls ill, eating becomes a big problem.
It’s good if there is surplus food at home. If there is no surplus food, you will starve to death sooner or later.
Alsophila spinulosa originally wanted to escape directly.
She was also afraid of getting sick. If she died of illness, she would not be able to find a new owner for the sword left by her father.
But after packing up the food stored at home, she hesitated.
She liked this village very much. Although some people in this village were not very friendly, most of them were good people.
Her house was built with the help of the villagers, half of her food was given to her by the villagers, and her clothes were also sewn for her by the strong aunt.
[If it was my dad, he would definitely not run away! ]
Alsophila reminisced about the days when he lived with his father.
When she was young, she and her father were often ostracized by people in the tribe. Faced with these people, her father did not just leave. Faced with these good people, it was even less likely that her father would leave.
Alsophila spinulosa unpacked the luggage he had just packed and stayed.
Rather than looking for a new owner for the sword left by her father, she would rather be a person like her father!
At daybreak, she left the village with her backpack.
She was always watching her father while he was treating patients, and as she watched, she came to know what disease each herb could cure.
In the afternoon, Alsophila returned with a full load and went to a patient's home.
"Little girl, what are you doing here..."
Alsophila began her performance by pretending to cough violently.
[Cough cough cough~]
While coughing, she picked up the washed herbs and stuffed them into her mouth, chewing and chewing, then raised her hands and posed as if showing off her muscles.
[This is good for treating cough! ]
"You mean I won't cough if I take this?"
Uh-huh-huh.
Alsophila spinulosa nodded repeatedly.
She then demonstrated the effects of other herbs. With the first guess as a basis, although her performance was sometimes very abstract, the others still understood what she meant by guessing.
The villagers immediately took action and treated the patient according to the prescription given by Alsophila.
Half a month later, most of the sick people recovered, and only a very few died.
Alsophila was sad for not being able to save those people, but the villagers were very happy. They had thought that something big was going to happen this time, but they didn't expect that they would successfully overcome the crisis with the help of the foreign girl.
It’s incredible!
They excitedly called Alsophila a goddess and gave it the food they had saved.
Alsophila accepted the kindness.
If you talk about eating, then she won’t be sleepy anymore!
When the second heavy snow fell, merchants from other villages arrived.
This time, Alsophila still chose not to follow the merchant. She wanted to leave only after teaching the people here how to identify herbs, which herbs can cure which diseases, and what is edible and what is not.
This was a very time-consuming process because she couldn't speak.
It was not until July of the following year that she told the villagers everything she knew about herbal medicine.
In December, the merchant came again. After reluctantly bidding farewell to the villagers, Alsophila spinulosa embarked on a journey to other villages.
The journey was extremely long, and the distances between different villages were much farther than she had imagined. When she finally arrived at the next village, she was disappointed to find that she could not find the sword master she had chosen.
At this time, she could only continue to the next village, but because she didn't know the way, she could only wait for the merchant to arrive.
This way, it would take her about a year to visit each village.
Year after year.
Ten years after she left, Alsophila suddenly realized that human life span has a limit. When she becomes as old as the old village chief, she will not be able to find a place to throw away the sword left by her father even if she wants to.
The journey cannot continue.
Although very reluctant, Alsophila spinulosa still set out on the journey home.
She didn't want the sword to fall into the wrong hands, and she also wanted to see her father's grave before she died.
Five years later, she returned to the first village she encountered.
As time goes by, the aunt has grown old, the farming master has become more simple-minded, and the village chief passed away two years ago. The only thing that remains unchanged is her house.
Even though she had been away for so long, her house was still clean. This would never have been the case if someone hadn't come to clean it regularly.
"Goddess, is it a goddess?"
