Chapter 1721: Hunting the Demonic Shadow (Seventeen)
At this time, Ruf's mother also came out of the kitchen, holding a fragrant fruit pie and a large cup of hot drink.
"This is your favorite wild plum pie, and here is the ginger tea for Mr. Albert. This can dispel colds and cure colds, so be sure to drink it all."
"Thank you, thank you..." Mutt was actually a little hungry, so he agreed in a low voice, went over and took a piece of fruit pie and started eating it.
"Silly boy, why are you saying thank you to your mother all of a sudden?" the woman said with a smile.
"No... uh, he hit his head and was just talking nonsense. Don't worry, Auntie." Albert quickly smoothed things over for Mutt, and at the same time came over to pick up the cup and drank the ginger tea in one gulp. The ginger tea was spicy and exciting.
The feeling spread in the tiger's esophagus and stomach, which indeed drove away some of the chill.
Because of the stimulation of ginger tea, the tiger's appetite suddenly became strong. He also took a piece of wild plum pie and put it into his mouth with a big mouthful: "Yeah! It's delicious! The sweetness and sourness are moderate, with the fragrance of wild plum and the mellow flavor of the pie."
The combination is perfect! Delicious!!＂
"Hehehe, thank you." Rufu's mother smiled calmly again and said: "If it's delicious, I'll cook it for you later. Rufu doesn't have many friends. It's rare that he is willing to bring his friends home to play -----
-＂
"Mom------" Mutt hurriedly interrupted Ruf's mother. Even though it was actually Ruf who was talking and not Mutt himself, the cat boy felt very embarrassed when he heard this.
"Okay, okay, I'll just leave it alone." The woman turned and walked away, "It's getting late, I'll boil the bath water for you, take a good wash and then go to bed."
"Well, we still have things to do next, and we plan to leave tonight ------" Mutt said depressedly.
"I don't care what you have to do, but it's rare for you to go home once, so just spend the night at home tonight." Rufu's mother said firmly: "You are so seriously injured, if the hunter organization doesn't let you
You have a good rest, and I want to assign you to do this and that. Mom is the first to disagree!"
"Hey------" Mutt sighed: "We have to leave at eight...no, seven o'clock tomorrow..."
"Then take a shower and go to bed quickly. Go to bed early tonight and get up early tomorrow." Rufu's mother said.
The cat-man youth and the tiger-man youth looked at each other, not knowing how to respond to these words. Ruf's mother was very determined, no matter what, she wanted to keep her "son" at home for the night, and Albert and the others did not shirk at all.
room.
"Okay then," Albert climbed up from his seat, turned around and wanted to leave, "Ruph, I'll pick you up tomorrow?"
"What are you talking about? You have to stay too!" Mutt said anxiously, fearing that Albert would just leave him here.
"This is your home, I'm still ------"
"Huhuhu," Rufu's mother suddenly laughed: "Look, Mr. Albert. My Rufu has tried to persuade you to stay like this, so don't be polite to us and rest here for one night before leaving."
Bar."
Tiger hesitated again and tried to find an excuse. Although he knew that his words were very weak, he still said: "I am busier than Rufu..."
"If you have any important matters, you can leave them for tomorrow. Just relax and have a rest tonight."
"Humph..." Tiger underestimated in a low voice and sat down again reluctantly.
"Then, I'm going to boil the bath water for you. There shouldn't be any problem if you two big boys take a bath together, right?" Rufu's mother asked.
"No, no, there's definitely something wrong!" "Why do I have to take a shower with this guy again!" Albert and Mutt broke out in protest almost at the same time.
"Huhuhu," Rufu's mother covered her mouth and smiled: "You guys have a really good relationship."
Albert and Mutt's faces immediately turned red. They could not protest further, because Ruf's mother had already gone to the backyard of the house to boil the bath water.
"Huh------" The large tub that could accommodate three people squeezed out a lot of hot water when Albert lay in it. As the water flowed out along the edge of the tub, the tiger also grew longer.
He sighed.
"Don't come closer, stay away from me." Mutt pushed Tiger's shoulder unhappily.
"Hey hey hey, how come this cat is out of sight? We have obviously taken a bath together several times." Instead, Albert deliberately moved his body over, with a mischievous smile on his face.
Mutt then shrank his body further under the water, shivered, and waited for the hot water to drive away the coldness from his body.
Regardless of the process, the cat boy finally took a hot bath tonight. Before, he took a bath in cold water in the Leopard People's Athens city, which was close to a ritual purification bath. After that, he also took a bath in a cold lake.
I just took a casual bath and it was done, just to get rid of the ominous smell after wearing the shroud. Those before were not considered baths, but now this is finally a hot bath in the true sense-------soak in
The bathing environment is a bit cramped.
"What should we do next?" Mutt muttered in a low voice: "If we lie to Rufu's mother like this, she will definitely not be happy when she knows the truth."
"That kind of thing will be discussed later. Now we can keep it secret for as long as we can." Albert sighed: "Anyway, we will leave here early tomorrow morning. Before that, please play your role [Rufe] well."
Is this character OK?"
"This is not what I came to Melson Stone for..." Mutt muttered again.
"Then what are you doing here?" The tiger man then asked: "I didn't force you to attend Rufu's funeral. I just thought you might need to know about it, so I told you something.
That’s it. I never thought you would actually follow Miaomori Stone. What stimulation did you receive that made you suddenly plan to do this?"
"Hmm... all kinds of plans." Mutt agreed hesitantly: "You know... I have been bought as a slave to Africa since I was sensible. I have never known the homeland of the cat people.
What a scene. I just want to take a chance to take a look...before everything is over."
"What do you mean by this?" Mutt's words aroused Albert's vigilance: "Before everything is over? Is it going to end?"
"...No, it's that...game." Mutt replied vaguely, "Before the Dark American Football Super Bowl ends, um."
Albert frowned and expressed confusion: "The competition happens every year. After this year's competition is over, there will be opportunities next year. You obviously still have infinite opportunities to compete, why do you think Miao said this like this?"
It's like the last game in your life..."
Mutt did not answer, only responded with a deathly silence.
The tiger wanted to continue asking, but the cat boy buried his head in the hot water. In order to prevent the cat's ears from getting water, he covered his ears with both hands. He was pretending not to hear. It seemed that no matter how Albert asked, Mu
Te didn't even intend to answer this question. Tiger sighed and had no choice but to give up.
However, even if Mutt didn't answer, Albert seemed to have a vague sense of something. They had been hunted down and assassinated one after another recently. Not only was Albert's personal safety threatened, but the assassins seemed to also be attacking Mutt.
Mutt's idea. It's really hard to imagine what will happen in the future. Maybe without Albert's protection, Mutt will die in the hands of an assassin in a few days.
No matter whether there is a bond with the hometown or not, before people realize that they are about to die, they will want to go back to their hometown once and see what their hometown is like. Perhaps the current Mutter also came to Meerssen with this kind of mood.
Shiba.
Letting such a Mutt accidentally pretend to be someone else's son to deceive someone else's mother, Albert actually felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but he was helpless.
