Mystery in Marvel

Chapter 20 Jessica

There is an isolated old house in the southernmost part of Flomingo town. It was originally Bob's home, but because they yearned for a better life in the city, the family moved out of the town and became well-dressed city dwellers. .

People in the town have their own work to do, their own fields, cattle and sheep to take care of. Over time, people even forget that there is such a place in the southernmost part of the town. If someone hadn't suddenly decided to settle here, maybe this place would be there. The house will continue to be abandoned.

The early morning sunlight shines into the bedroom through the window. Cheng Peng, who was sleeping on the floor, was awakened by the heat. There was a layer of cotton wool and a sheet under his body. The furniture in the room had long since disappeared. The room had been cleaned yesterday. , although it was much cleaner, it also became extremely empty.

Thinking of helping Tim look after his lethargic old yellow dog today, it seems that a sheep in Old Raymond's house is sick, and Cheng Peng is too lazy to sleep in the cage again.

After getting up and gargling his face, Cheng Peng came to the second floor of the house. Compared to the empty first floor, there were a few more old wooden tables on the second floor, and there were many lines with unknown meanings carved on them.The potions prepared by Cheng Peng, his staff, and all his sundries were placed on the second floor.

Distortion is the core game element of the Mysterious Age. All negative states caused by distortion cannot be eliminated through normal means, and even purification potions that can dispel most abnormal states cannot do so.

But being unable to dispel it does not mean that it has no effect at all. After testing, Cheng Peng found that the purification potion can weaken the influence of "Manic Heart", which shows that reality and games are still a little different after all.

After drinking today's amount of medicine, Cheng Peng put on his backpack. Because he didn't know the specific situation of the animals, he took a purification potion and a healing potion, and then went downstairs and went out.

There is a main road in Flomingo town that runs through the entire town, and that main road is a road built by the government. The small roads here are mostly ordinary dirt roads.

Tim's home is in the northeast of the town. A family of seven manages their own cattle farm. The beef from his farm is famous for its excellent quality. There are even several Western restaurants in far-away cities. Ordering beef here makes Tim's family live quite well in town.

"Oh, dear Cheng, you are finally here." Cheng Peng was still walking on the road. Emma, ​​who had just returned from the cattle farm, bumped into him and hurriedly came to say hello cordially: "Have you had lunch? ? My family has prepared meat rolls and sausages. Do you want to eat them with us?"

Hearing the words meat rolls and meat sausages, Cheng Peng, who often catches lizards and hares to eat, couldn't help but swallowed: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"You're welcome. You helped our town get rid of rinderpest, and you are also our family's lifesaver. When you go back later, I will help you get more canned beef. You must know that our family's beef is famous far and wide." Ai Ms. Ma's smile revealed a pair of dimples, and her chubby figure made the simple and friendly Mrs. Tim look extremely cute.

When they arrived at her home, they saw two beauties barbecuing in their yard. The aroma of barbecue wafted through her, whetting her appetite.

"Nancy! Where are your grandpa and the others?" Emma shouted directly before entering the yard. When she heard her mother's call, a beauty with short orange hair waved to the two of them: "Grandpa and the others are going. Went to the city! I heard that a new restaurant wanted to order our beef, and the business was huge, so they went together."

"What about your grandma? Did she follow too?" Emma came to the barbecue grill and saw that the barbecue was a little burnt. She quickly took over and pushed her daughter aside.

"Of course, my grandma said she would help with the check to prevent those careless men from being cheated." After Nancy finished speaking, she quickly greeted Cheng Peng: "Cheng! You are finally here. I saw that I was almost there at noon. I thought you weren’t going to come today.”

"Of course not. I'm not very familiar with the road, so I found this place after asking several people." Cheng Peng replied, and then greeted another beautiful woman: "Hi, Jessica."

"Hi, Cheng." As if she wanted to say something, Jessica quickly added: "I came here because Nancy was bored alone and invited me. That's why I came."

Hearing the other party's somewhat covert explanation, Nancy quickly said with a bad smile: "Of course our Jessica didn't rush here because of someone, let alone because of someone. She just wore her favorite dress, don’t you think so, Jessica?”

"Nancy!" Jessica Young's tone reflected her shame and anger at this time.Then the two chased into the house, and the calm Emma shouted: "When you come out later, remember to bring out the tacos."

Cheng Peng, standing in the yard, only felt a little embarrassed: "How about I go see Sam now."

In Nancy's room, Nancy, who was sitting on the bed, was tearing open a bag of potato chips and eating them, while Jessica, who was sitting on the stool, couldn't help but rub her face hard: "Damn, what on earth am I doing?" What's wrong? Why did I explain that just now? How should I face Cheng later?"

"Ha, girl! Admit that you like Cheng." Thinking of her friend's recent ugly behavior, Nancy couldn't help but want to laugh: "Originally, I thought you would love that rich boy who pursued you fiercely. That person He is handsome and rich, and I heard that his academic performance is also good. I didn’t expect that such a perfect boy would not pursue you, but instead..."

At this point, Nancy wanted to express the meaning of "tramp" tactfully, but she obviously didn't know how to say it because she was short of words. She could only shrug and signal to Jessica that you understand.

"I know what you want to say. Cheng is not handsome, but he is also a desperately poor homeless man. Compared with my other suitors, he looks like a loser in society." As she spoke, Jessica recalled the memories The other party's concentration on work: "Nancy, you have to know that he saved the cattle in our town, and compared with those people, he is even more mysterious."

"Ha, a mysterious homeless veterinarian..." Nancy was obviously not interested in this outsider. She preferred the handsome muscular uncles in the movies. The relatively thin Cheng Peng was obviously not her cup of tea.

Jessica also knew that Nancy felt sorry for herself, but she still had many things she hadn't told Nancy, so she didn't blame Nancy for not understanding.

After lunch, Nancy, at Emma's urging, went to work on the cattle farm, while Cheng Peng found the old yellow dog Sam in the doghouse in the backyard.

I saw it huddled listlessly in the kennel, without touching a bite of the food in the rice bowl. When it saw Cheng Peng coming over, it just barked softly to show friendship.

Crouching in front of Sam, Cheng Peng touched its head. He was not a veterinarian, and he had no magic knowledge about how to treat dogs. Anyway, he used purifying potions to remove diseases and healing potions to repair wounds and rejuvenate.

Magic potion is not a real potion, it is more like an effect and a result. As long as you drink it, you can get the corresponding result, such as the ender potion in pharmacy. Drinking it can own part of the ender. The ability of life, but it will not change Cheng Peng's own body structure.

It was just a dog being treated, so Cheng Peng, who had brought two potions with him, was naturally stress-free.

After giving Sam the diluted purification potion to drink, it didn't take long for Sam to become visibly more energetic.It seemed that Sam was sick, although Cheng Peng had no idea what the illness was.

"I didn't even know what illness Sam had, but you cured it. Your magicians' spells are really amazing." Jessica, who quietly came to the backyard, said, you know, she secretly saw the whole process of Cheng Peng refining medicine that day. The process, and the other party seemed to have no way to erase his memory. With the other party's request, this became their two secrets.

Of course, Cheng Peng had noticed someone coming. Because he knew it was Jessica, he didn't deliberately restrain his movements: "I don't know what disease it has. Anyway, as long as it is sick, it is not a problem for me."

After finishing this conversation, when they thought of the farce that happened at the beginning, both Cheng Peng and Jessica were a little confused about what to say next. Jessica didn't dare to say it, but Cheng Peng didn't know what to say.

After a moment of silence, feeling the embarrassment starting to spread, Cheng Peng finally spoke: "Do you know where old Raymond's ranch is? I've only been to his tavern. You know, I'm not very familiar with the roads in the town. ."

"Oh, of course, I can take you there!"
