Chapter 360
"Bukabu..."
Rin wrote down the name and at the same time expressed admiration for the Demon King's profound knowledge. She secretly thought that she should read more books and strive to become a well-educated young man.
His knowledge is already much higher than that of his peers, but compared with Qiyu and a toddler... no, it should be said that he is no different from a babbling baby.
"Is there any other island in the Kingdom of Mars that grows something like this?" Rin murmured to himself.
The accompanying officials from the kingdom had the biggest reaction and shouted loudly: "No! We don't have that kind of thing!"
His voice attracted the attention of all the dining guests around him.
Realizing that he had lost his temper, the official quickly apologized and explained: "You have also seen that our country is very small, with a total land area of less than 60,000 square kilometers. Every year, we patrol the islands to collect taxes, and they are all under your nose. How could there be something like that down there?”
Qiyu stared at him for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Elise shook her head. This was beyond her ability to think, so she simply continued to stare at the ornaments hanging on the columns.
The useless cat was still engrossed in eating meat and turned a deaf ear.
Xiye put down the cup: "But what is certain is that the island will never be too far from the Kingdom of Mars."
"Then you can search the surrounding islands. They may be some developed uninhabited islands specially used to secretly grow bukabu."
Rin rubbed his chin and said, "It doesn't bother me at all. As the clues advance to this part, the scope is actually very small. It is impossible for A Yang and An An to come from thousands of miles away to take a boat."
Even worse, there is the help of Lord Demon King's Thousand Miles Demonic Eye.
It's a pity that the lightning is too weak now, and I can't communicate with it completely. Otherwise, I can see it clearly just by letting the lightning fly back and forth.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a thick woolen coat and looking like a gentleman at the table next to him turned his head and glanced at them, and his eyes fell on An An for a while.
"I thought I heard you talking about Bukabu just now?"
Seeing Rin nodding, the man smiled and said, "That's a forbidden thing, so you better stop asking around."
Official A who followed Lin coughed lightly: "We don't want that thing. I am an official serving the kingdom and I will not break the law."
"Then you ask what it does."
Lin knew in his heart that this person probably knew something, and thought to himself that it seemed a bit too coincidental, and did not reply while thinking deeply.
Officer A said: "We picked up a child and want to send him back. He is not very smart and doesn't know where he lives. He only remembers that there is this thing on the island where he lives. Sir, if you can provide information, the reward will be Easy to discuss.”
The man looked at An An again and said with a smile: "Let's not mention the reward for now. There are many people here with mixed opinions. If you want to know more, I will meet you at the Sunflower Tavern after nine o'clock in the evening."
After saying that, he stood up, put on his top hat, nodded politely to everyone, turned around and left.
"Huh... Young Master, it seems we are lucky. He may have the information we need." Official A said enthusiastically.
Rin was noncommittal, glanced at his pocket watch and said, "In that case, let's find a hotel to rest first. Fei Miao, hurry up and eat."
Hearing this, Emilia speeded up her meal and quickly ate all the remaining dishes on the table. She rubbed her slightly bulging belly and stood up.
The official went to settle the bill eagerly. This was considered as entertainment for foreign guests and should be recorded as public expense, while Rin paid for the table under her own money.
After asking about the location of the Sunflower Tavern, Rin checked into a hotel near the tavern.
Sitting on the sofa in the hotel room, Rin crossed his arms and glanced around, with a look of disgust on his face: "I've given you a room for each of you. Go and have a rest. Why are you all here with me?"
"Junior, it's not night yet, why should we rest?"
"That's right! We still have to play! The boat was shaking before and the game wasn't even finished!"
Elise said, quickly laying out the board games and inviting others to play together.
Xiye hurriedly said: "You guys play, Ibuneet and Lightning are still on the boat. I brought them over. They may be hungry."
"Ah, okay, by the way, let everyone on the boat come down and rest."
After Xiye left, the four of them sat together and played games.
After Qiyu rolled the dice once, he said while playing chess, "There's something wrong with that guy."
When the middle-aged man spoke, Qiyu habitually used mind-reading skills on him, and her thoughts were clear to her.
But she won't say it clearly. If people ask her how she knows so much, how should she answer? Just tell her about mind reading?
Anyone who knew she could read minds would feel uncomfortable, and Qiyu wasn't sure what Rin would think after finding out.
Rin nodded: "I also think there's something wrong with him. Most people won't mention this kind of thing when they see noble officials present. How can they be like him? It's like... tsk, just waiting for us to take the bait."
Elise blinked her big eyes: "Wow! Are you trying to blackmail us?"
"That's really good. As long as the information he gives is correct, it's easy to say whether it's money or not."
It’s not me paying for it anyway.
Rin added in his mind and continued: "One more thing, the four of you are barely beautiful girls...or beauties..."
"Hey? Junior, what do you mean by suddenly adding a sentence at the end? Could it be that if you become an adult, you are not a beautiful girl?"
Qiyu shook his long hair and asked unhappily.
Rin let her feel the French disgust with her face, and then said impatiently: "Don't interrupt! What I mean is that the four of you sitting there, as long as you are a normal person, you have to take a look. I have noticed this." Guy, he didn't even look at it."
"But he looked at you, several times," Qiyu said.
Fei Miao raised his head and nodded firmly: "Gay."
"Wow! Why would anyone want to steal Xiao Rin from me?!"
Two crosses appeared on Rin's head, and one of them struck a knife: "Don't go off topic! Don't spread rumors and slander!"
After the three girls finally became honest, Rin continued: "You little pigs are just looking at the dry feed. You may not have noticed. The one he looks at the most is An An."
"Well, is it because An An is missing an arm?"
"No, how should I put it... Anyway, I feel that he is a little happy to see An An."
Fei Miao tilted his head: "Can, prove, what?"
"Maybe he is the person on the island we are looking for, or at least he has an extraordinary relationship."
Qiyu still had a half-smiling expression, quietly guiding everyone's thinking.
"I'll go meet him in the evening and get a feel for the situation. Tsk, it's a pity that stupid cats know how to eat, and they don't even have an observation eye to see. They don't even know the other person's level."
"He is just an ordinary person, not a professional."
As soon as Qiyu said these words, Rin felt relaxed, but at the same time he felt a little weird in his heart.
The four of them continued to play the game. Not long after playing, Xiye came back with three little pets.
When Lin Wuyue saw her brother, she didn't care and rushed towards him.
The round body landed on the table with a clatter, then got up and jumped onto Rin's body, making a mess of the cards and chess pieces on the table.
A chess piece rolled to the ground and rolled towards the bed.
This is not a high-end hotel, there are partitions, the living room and bed here are all in one.
Elise hurriedly chased after it and picked it up. When she got up, she suddenly saw something and her eyes fell on the jewelry at the end of the bed.
"Hey? Xiao Lin! Come and see!"
Lin rubbed Lin Wuyue fiercely, stood up and walked to the bed with him, and looked in the direction pointed by the silly roe deer's paws.
There was a strange red knot hanging at the end of the bed. Rin pulled the knot to the palm of his hand to look at it. There was a small stone in the center of the knot. The stone was carved with the profile of a rabbit.
"It should be local custom, nothing to make a fuss about."
Hearing this, Silly Roe Deer puffed up his cheeks and said, "It's not a big fuss! Let me tell you, Xiao Lin, I have seen a lot of similar ornaments in this city, and there are also places to eat, but not in the King of Mars!"
"It's a regional custom, but it's also different."
Rin patted her head: "If you are curious, you can ask the waiter later."
"Okay, okay!"
Rin put the matter behind him in the blink of an eye. After tidying up the table, the game started again.
In the blink of an eye, it's night.
Rin had eaten in the middle of the afternoon and was still not hungry. She planned to have a late night snack to fill her stomach. The first priority was to meet the weird man.
To avoid alerting others, he only took the silly roe deer with him when he went out this time.
When he walked to the front desk, Silly Roe Deer asked the proprietress about rabbit carvings and accessories in the city.
The landlady smiled and said, "This is a custom here. The things hanging on the bed are called pregnancy knots."
Chapter 8 Full of Pregnancy
"Luck Knot? What does rabbits have to do with luck."
Rin was a little puzzled, and the landlady smiled a little deeper, and said cheerfully: "It's not luck, it's...pregnancy."
Rin reacted and was speechless: "The customs of Dulan Island are really... special."
After saying that, he took Elise's little hand and turned to leave.
After pulling twice but not pulling, Rin turned his head strangely, only to see Elise's deer-like eyes with a strange light and a silly smile on her mouth.
"You little fool, what are you doing?"
Elise took her paw out of Rin's hand, rubbed it, and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, what's going on with the pregnancy...congestion? Can it help you conceive a baby?"
This roe deer!
Rin covered her forehead, feeling a little embarrassed, and whispered into Elise's ear: "This is just a custom, just like the safety buckle and the guard. Don't ask, just leave quickly."
The landlady's eyes swept over the faces of the two of them, and she said enthusiastically: "As soon as I saw that you two are a young couple, if you want to talk about this pregnancy problem, you'd have to ask the right person if you ask me.
It was first introduced from the north and has a history of more than 200 years.
In the past, our Dulan Island was hit by a tsunami brought by Warcraft. At that time, everyone on the peninsula died. Later, I don’t know if it was cursed by Warcraft. Few newborns were born in two or three years.
Later, another bard said that there was a place called Senzhiyuan in the north. The people there believed in a goddess of life. There was a white rabbit beside this goddess, who was her messenger Tuanyu.
Tuan Yu has the power of pregnancy. If it is worshiped sincerely, it can give birth to an heir, and it can also protect the child from any disaster in its childhood and will not die in infancy.
Then everyone worshiped the white rabbit, and it prospered again.
This custom has been preserved to this day. If you see carvings of jade hanging in other places, it is to pray for the safety of the child. If it is woven into something like a pregnancy knot and placed on the bedside or on the bedside, it is to pray for a child. of. "
The silly roe deer shook his head left and right, and rubbed his hands again: "Is it effective?"
Rin covered his forehead again. If he was not afraid that this stupid roe deer was a delicate one who would cry all the time and need to be coaxed, he would have left his fish-lipped fiancee behind and ran away.
It's embarrassing, too embarrassing! It's like they went to seek medical advice and pray to gods and Buddhas because they couldn't have children.
The proprietress was quite honest. She didn't talk nonsense and said seriously: "The custom of hanging ornaments should not be taken seriously."
Rin hadn't relaxed yet, and heard the proprietress continue: "It is really effective, but you still have to put it on your body day and night."
"Is that so."
Iris hesitated a little, and didn't seem to believe it completely.
Rin simply grabbed her and dragged her to the door without thinking about anything.
When they reached the door, Rin grabbed her hair with a fierce expression.
Iris was aggrieved: "Wugugu, let go of Xiaolin, what are you doing?"
"Why are you asking? You've already made me lose myself."
"Hey?" Iris pulled at her skirt, "I'm just asking."
"Ask you, are you afraid that others don't know you want a baby?!"
"Guhehe, but I do want it?"
"You're not allowed to show it directly."
Rin said in a vicious voice, and seeing that the silly roe deer was only focusing on laughing silly, his thoughts were scattered, his eyes were bright and full of longing, so he had to give up.
Forget it, why am I competing with the silly roe deer, it's not like I don't know that my fiancée does stupid things from time to time, next time I encounter this situation, I'll just pull her away and don't give her the opportunity to embarrass herself.
After making up his mind, Rin dragged her hand and walked all the way to the tavern.
The pub is only about 300 meters south of the hotel. There is a big sunflower sign hanging next to the door sign. It is very eye-catching when the lights are on at night.
Pushing open the wooden door of the pub, the wind chimes swayed and the crisp crosstalk of "ding-ling-ling" came out, and the noisy sound came with a warm current.
The sudden appearance of the boy and girl attracted the attention of most people in the pub, and the noise stopped for a while.
