The day when I was forcibly bound by an NPC

It is said that curiosity killed the cat. Although he didn't like that guy named Xiao Hei, Jiang Zhaonian decided to keep his curiosity in order to prevent this "honorable guest" from losing his life.

According to the original plan, Jiang Zhaonian was going to collect Frostgrass next, but the sudden heavy snow that lasted for several days interrupted his action.

The master forbade Jiang Zhaonian to go out in snowy weather.There weren't many chores in the yard, and he couldn't bear the sight of his slave being idle all day, so he brought him into the workroom to help him.

Even with the two books given by the mage and the plug-in of the system notebook, as a magic novice, Jiang Zhaonian still struggled to cope with the strict requirements of the mage.

So he lived a life where he had to work and be scolded, and he had to survive under the attack of the guest Xiao Hei.

Fortunately, things are always getting better and better. After two or three days, Jiang Zhaonian's "work" is barely on the right track.

This day, Jiang Zhaonian spent another whole day in the studio with the mage.It wasn't until evening that Jiang Zhaonian gently reminded him that Xiao Hei had been meowing for a long time outside with hunger, and then the mage stopped planning to continue refining new potions, took off his burqa, and said calmly: "Then Come here."

Jiang Zhaonian heaved a sigh of relief, followed behind him and prepared to go out.As a result, the breath got stuck in the throat just halfway through the relief—the mage's body straightened and fell towards the shelf on one side.

Seeing that the whole shelf was about to be knocked over, Jiang Zhaonian quickly grabbed his arm and leaned him against his shoulder.

Jiang Zhaonian hastily patted his chest a series of times, all the treasures on this shelf are the mage's treasures, if it is really knocked over, it may be ruined.

He staggered and moved the mage to the couch in the living room and lay down. He didn't even care about chasing or avoiding Xiao Hei, who was circling around his feet, and pushed the mage's body with a pale face. .

"Mr. Master, Master? Wake up, what's wrong with you? You can't die—" Jiang Zhaonian patted his cheek with tears in his eyes.

You are dead, where should I turn in my mission!

Under Jiang Zhaonian's sincere call, the mage finally moved.

He put his arm on his forehead, let out a long smack, and slowly opened his eyes.

The mage said in a hoarse voice, "Don't call me dead, I'm still alive."

Jiang Zhaonian straightened up immediately: "Mr. Master! What's the matter with you, why did you faint suddenly? Do you feel okay now, is there any discomfort?"

"You shut your mouth and let me sleep peacefully, and I'll be fine."

Only then did Jiang Zhaonian notice the faint blue color under the mage's eyes.He carefully supported the mage who stood up, and walked to the mage's bedroom: "How long have you not slept?"

Mage: "..."

Jiang Zhaonian recalled the experience of the past few days, no matter how early he woke up, he would always see a mage who had already woken up.

At that time, he thought that the mage got up early for the magic he loved, so he said, could the truth be...

"You haven't slept all these days, have you?!"

"Sleeping." The mage immediately retorted, paused for a moment, and then slowly uttered the second half of the sentence, "... I fell asleep once in the middle."

"..." Jiang Zhaonian stopped talking, he recalled the shadow of his sudden death, and forcefully pressed the mage onto the bed: "You can't do this, hurry up and sleep well!"

"Little Black..."

Jiang Zhaonian was a little guilty in his heart, but said confidently on his face: "I'll take care of it!"

The mage closed his eyes peacefully and peacefully, and fell into a coma for a second.

Jiang Zhaonian gently closed the door of his room.As soon as he walked into the living room, he saw Xiao Hei who was waiting to be fed and his eyes were shining.

He just wished he could faint in a second like a sorcerer.

No, I can't fall down, Jiang Zhaonian, now you are the only pillar of the family...

Holding his forehead, he entered the kitchen.After entering the door, Jiang Zhaonian immediately turned around, shutting Xiao Hei who was following behind him outside.

He leaned against the door and let out a long breath.

As a single otaku living alone, Jiang Zhaonian's cooking skills can't be said to be very good, at least it can be said to be unrivaled in the circle of friends.

He inspected the materials in the kitchen and decided to cook a pot of thick soup to match the ready-made scones.

So amid Xiao Hei's rhythmless scratching at the door, Jiang Zhaonian packed up the ingredients in an orderly manner.

Soon he took care of all the procedures, and then just kept cooking on the fire.Taking advantage of this spare time, Jiang Zhaonian made a cat meal for Xiao Hei.

Seeing that the soup was still cooking for a long time, and Xiao Hei's voice outside the door was about to knock off the roof, Jiang Zhaonian opened the kitchen door with cat rice.He originally wanted to appease that ancestor first, but the moment the door was opened, Jiang Zhaonian knew that he had done something wrong, outrageously wrong.

He saw the end of the world.

The tables and chairs in the dining room were overturned, the mage's favorite tea set fell on the carpet, and broke into two or three neat pieces. With a few strips of cloth.

And the instigator, Xiao Hei, was squatting on the chandelier on the ceiling, swinging on a swing and howling, as if he was about to revolt on the spot and start a great revolution.

This fucking is my life! !

At that moment, the anger overwhelmed the mind, and the fear was also thrown out of the sky. Jiang Zhaonian roared: "Get down for me!!!"

Perhaps seeing the cat rice in his hand, Xiao Hei let out a "meow", aimed at Jiang Zhaonian's arm holding the bowl, and jumped to the ground!

Jiang Zhaonian dodged to dodge its pounce. Seeing that Xiao Hei landed lightly, turned around and stared at him and started to move again, he immediately put down the bowl and took a few steps back.

But he didn't expect Xiao Hei to ignore the fresh cat meal, but continued to rush towards him? !

Jiang Zhaonian:? ? ?What's the matter with you cat? !

He hurriedly hid behind the dilapidated sofa, and under Xiao Hei's pursuit, he turned over the table, fled into the dining room, and jumped onto the bench... When he was enjoying the chasing and fleeing game of one person and one cat, suddenly There was a loud noise out of thin air, "Boom"!

Both the man and the cat were stunned.

Jiang Zhaonian realized that the sound came from the yard, he didn't care about the cat, and ran out quickly, only to see the heavy snow crushing the roof of the corner of the yard.

Jiang Zhaonian had no choice but to turn around and enter the storage room, took out tools to shovel off the snow, and barely repaired the shed.

It's just that the broken bracket can't be restored to its original state no matter what. The only option is to wait for the snow to stop and go outside to find new materials to replace it.

After doing all this, Jiang Zhaonian vaguely felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.

……

……

my soup! ! !

When Jiang Zhaonian returned to the kitchen, the soup had already come out, and the stove was baked with black and burnt marks, and the open fire of the firewood was extinguished, and it was smoldering now.

It won't work like this, so Jiang Zhaonian fully opened the kitchen door, vented for a while, and went in to replace the wet firewood.

He picked up the jar, took a sip of the remaining soup, and felt a choking smell, so he had to throw it away.

By the time Jiang Zhaonian tidied up the kitchen and cooked a new pot of soup, he was too exhausted to speak.

After brushing the marks on the stove for a long time, he still couldn't clean it thoroughly, so he had to give up.Jiang Zhaonian went into the living room and sat down, put his arms on his legs and covered his face, to calm down and rest for a while to regain some strength.

Xiao Hei began to doze off after eating a full stomach, lying on the edge of the burning fire, his head bit by bit, and he fell asleep peacefully, leaving the whole mess to Jiang Zhaonian alone without any burden.

Jiang Zhaonian finished his meal hastily, completely lost the good mood to enjoy the food.

He packed up the tableware, got up and went into the mage's room, sat down beside the mage's bed, and sighed heavily.

If he could, he really wanted to take root here, grow here and not go out, so as to avoid the terrible reality outside.

But obviously this sentence is dreaming.Jiang Zhaonian was annoyed for a while, and observed Mr. Master's state.

Sometimes sleepy for too long and can't sleep well.

The mage frowned slightly in his dream, blending into his tired expression, which rarely showed a bit of softness and fragility.

Looking at such a sorcerer, Jiang Zhaonian stretched out his hand to pull the quilt for him, thinking that it would be great if Mr. sorcerer was always like this, then the situation outside would not be so scary...

Just when he was so whimsical, the mage who couldn't sleep well opened his eyes in a daze.

He saw Jiang Zhaonian sitting by the bed, and asked vaguely, "Why are you sitting here? Is Xiao Hei okay?"

"It's very good." Thinking of the mess outside the house, Jiang Zhaonian squeezed out a strong smile.

The mage once again fell asleep in peace.

Looking at his sleeping face, Jiang Zhaonian silently shed tears of guilt, sorrow and worry in his heart.

How much I want to fall asleep like this, it's better to sleep forever...
