Chapter 43

When Charlotte woke up, everything in the dream was still clearly engraved in her mind, and her hand seemed to still have the touch of stroking the big horned deer.She quickly got out of bed and took out her drawing book, opened the curtains, sat by the window and began to draw seriously, from the big horns like wings, to the light blue eyes like glass, to the strong body, and finally Four black iron-like hooves and a horse-like tail.Soon, an incomparably majestic big-horned deer appeared on the paper.

Charlotte couldn't be happier with the drawing and couldn't wait to share it with Ellen.But when she came out of the room, Ellen wasn't in the tent, only Star was busy in the kitchen.Smelling the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen, Charlotte's stomach was pounding loudly.She touched her empty stomach, and only then did she feel hungry, so hungry that she could swallow an elephant.

Charlotte put the painting on the table and moved to the kitchen door.Xing Xing was busy working in front of the frying pan piously and intently, the sound of crackling frying sounded in her ears, Charlotte leaned her head and body against the door frame, but the soft door frame could not support her weight, she She sprained and almost fell, but fortunately she grabbed the canvas of the tent so that she wouldn't fall on all fours.This movement finally caught Xing Xing's attention.

When he saw Charlotte, tears quickly gathered in his round eyes, and he said slightly choked up: "Miss Lottie is awake. Good, Miss Lottie is awake. Miss Lottie, go sit down , Xing Xing will cook for you, and it will be ready soon." He held the handle of the pan with his left hand, wiped his tears with his right hand, and still stood firmly on the spot.

"Thank you, Mr. Housekeeper." Charlotte sat down at the table without disturbing Xing Xing, who was extremely pious and serious about housework.

Soon Allen came back, he opened the tent door and walked in, still holding the familiar leather bag in his hand.Seeing Charlotte at the table, he walked over in surprise and said, "Charlotte! You're awake! How are you? Are you feeling all right? You've freaked me out and you've been sleeping all week!" "

Charlotte frowned, "So long?" Charlotte rubbed her stomach, no wonder she was so hungry.

"Yeah, I was taken aback too, if it wasn't for your breathing, I almost thought—"

The star who came out of the kitchen interrupted Alan loudly with a shrill voice: "Master! It's time for Miss Lottie to eat!"

Allen lowered his body slightly, and said in a voice that only Charlotte could hear: "I've never seen a star like this before. His attitude towards me is really different from before because of your injury and drowsiness. It's unreasonable, I'm his master!" He curled his lips and straightened up, "Eat. If you don't wake up again, I'll find a way to stuff you with something to eat, or I'm afraid you'll be in the Hungry in my dream—”

"Hurry up and eat!" Xingxing interrupted Allen roughly.

Allen shrugged, and said in a low voice: "Xingxing is a little sensitive to the word 'death' now."

Soon Xingxing brought the delicious food in front of Charlotte, and Charlotte, who was so hungry, couldn't wait to stuff the food into her mouth and gobbled it up.Alan pushed a glass of water to Charlotte's right hand with a little disgust, and said, "Eat slowly, and no one will grab you."

Charlotte nodded indiscriminately, and then slowed down slightly.Her cheeks were bulging and she was wriggling quickly, but she still glanced at the leather bag on Alan's right hand from the corner of her eye.

Allen raised the bag and said, "While you were in a coma, I packed back all the gastrodi grass below. I searched for some more places, although I still didn't find any traces of birds and snakes, but I have found a lot of potion ingredients, of course, the most valuable is the Gastrodia grass.” He opened the sheepskin bag that had been placed on the table before, took out a Gastrodia grass, and stroked it obsessively It has layers of leaves, and said: "I saw it before. It was in an underground black market, and it was bought at a high price. I didn't expect there to be so many this time. You are my lucky star, Xia Lotte. We have gained a lot this time!"

Charlotte glanced at him secretly, and if she didn't gain anything, she would lose a lot.

Allen went on to say: "How do you say something in Huaguo? My Huaguo friend's favorite sentence, let me think about it." He tapped his head thinking, then patted the table, He said word by word: "Blessings return to leisure and autumn. Yes, this is it."

These words turned around in Charlotte's mind, and she thought for a while before finally matching the words.But it was also because of this that the food in her mouth sprayed out, she coughed and pounded the table and laughed wildly. After laughing for a few minutes, she calmed down and took a sip of water, cleared her throat and said, "That's called 'seeking wealth and wealth'!"

Xing Xing took the tablecloth and wiped the table down without complaint.

"That's right, what I speak is definitely not that standard. Huaguo language is really too difficult." Allen said with a frown. "This thing is of high value, so it will take some time to sell it." He waved his wand again, and a green time appeared in the air, "Let's stay here for another month, and find out where we haven't been. See if there is a colony of birds and snakes. When I go back, I will be in Cokeworth for Christmas."

"Ah, don't you miss Halloween?" Charlotte muttered, "I still want to play. I didn't have a chance to play last Halloween."

"If you miss it, you miss it." Allen said disapprovingly, "What is more important than doing research?" Go home, so it's good that you spend Christmas with your little boyfriends and girlfriends. It's not like I'm alone."

"Where's Xiaobai?" Charlotte suddenly remembered Xiaobai who fell to the ground during the battle.

Allen took out Xiaobai from his pocket, "Here, here." Then he poked and flicked it again, "I'm so asleep, I haven't seen her wake up, I hope she's amazing enough not because Sleeping and starving to death." Allen put Xiao Bai back in his pocket.

Charlotte heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Xiaobai was fine, and continued to stuff food into his mouth.She asked inarticulately, "Is that white monkey dead?"

"Dead, dead. I originally wanted to get its body back for research, but when I went to see it the next day, the white monkey turned into a stone. It's unbelievable." Allen said, " Grass has grown on the edge of the stone these days, and even the grave is ready-made."

Charlotte swallowed the food in her mouth and sighed: "There are really all kinds of creatures in this world. By the way! Show you something!" Charlotte put the painting on the table in front of Alan .

Alan held up the painting and looked at it over and over again, and kept admiring, "Big horned deer! This is it. Although I don't remember some details clearly, I just know that this is exactly the same as what I have seen! It's amazing, Charlotte. You may have actually seen elk, I think. I can't wait to find Revanwood."

"Me too." Charlotte ate the last bit of food on the plate. "When I get back to Cokeworth, I will give this painting to Mr. Gary, a carpenter in the shopping street, and ask him to make a decoration for me." She drank He took a few sips of water, patted his round belly, leaned back on the chair, and let out a long sigh of satisfaction, "Last Halloween, I wanted him to make me a big horned deer the size of a wooden bear. The wooden bear at the booth? (Alan nodded) But now I think it’s okay to ask for a small one, so I should be able to get it soon.”

"You can order two more, and I also want to put two in the manor." Allen said with great interest.

After dinner, Alan took his broom and searched the forest again.Charlotte stood on the platform and scanned the open space below.The place that was originally shrouded in mist is now extremely empty; the pitted ground that was originally dug is now covered with green grass and small bushes that are only as high as the instep of the feet; A black stone in the shape of an inverted monkey is placed there abruptly, and a few small flowers are dotted around it.

Charlotte wanted to see the black stone that the white monkey turned into. She threw down the rope ladder on the platform and returned to the ground along the rope ladder.She looked around vigilantly to make sure there was no movement around her, and then slowly walked to the black stone.

She touched the black stone, except for the shiny black and the faint silhouette of a monkey, this stone was no different from the stones that could be seen next to it.Only when you squat down and look carefully, can you vaguely see the contours of the head and eye sockets.At this time, the bushes at the back suddenly rustled. Charlotte stood up nervously, pulled out the dagger that had returned to its original size, and stared closely at the direction from which the sound came.

Soon a huge snake crawled out of the bushes over there. It had an orange body with black stripes on it.And its most special feature is that it has three heads, the hideous three heads and the hissing letter, making it look particularly scary.Charlotte quickly recognized the snake—the rune snake.She put down the dagger in her hand, because she didn't feel threatened by the rune snake.

Its three heads are talking.

The head on the left said: [Oh, here, there is no bad smell of that monster here, so I said it's time to come back, there are no other creatures here, it just happens to be my territory. 】

The head in the middle said: [Yes, yes.I just said, with my huge energy, this monster will be scared away by me sooner or later. 】

The head on the right said: [Just dream, this is not what I did at all. 】

Then the two heads in the middle and the right had already quarreled, and the head on the left saw Charlotte, and it exclaimed in surprise, 【I actually saw a human girl.But she is beautiful, much more beautiful than our former master's daughter. 】

【Yes Yes.I still remember the good times. 】The head in the middle quickly broke away from the quarrel, and said slightly dreamily.

[I smell, I smell the breath of nature-friendly people. ] said the head on the left.

[Natural affinity?Yes, I smell it. ] The head on the right made a cold conclusion.

The rune snake slowly crawled over and stopped at Charlotte's feet.It raised the front half of its body, and its three heads were swinging in the air.Charlotte looked down at the nonaggressive rune snakes, wanting to ask what they meant by "nature friendly ones."But she was also afraid that the rune snakes would not understand her, so she raised her hand and gestured blindly, but there was great doubt in the yellowish eyes of the three snake heads.Charlotte scratched her head helplessly, and asked like a broken can, "Can you understand me?"

Unexpectedly, the rune snake understood.

The head on the left said: [Oh, this terrible accent makes me uncomfortable. 】

The head in the middle said: [She reminds me of the daughter of the previous owner.She talks to me a lot, but she's not a Parseltongue at all, so what's the use? 】

The head on the right said sternly: [Shut up!She can understand me. 】

Both the head on the left and the head in the middle looked at the head on the right, shouting:【What? 】【What? 】

"Yes, I can understand you. It just so happens that you can understand me too, which is great." Charlotte was amused by the way the three heads spoke, "Can I ask what is 'Nature-friendly'?"

The three-headed snake didn't answer, but circled around Charlotte and the black stone slowly, and the head in the middle said, "This is a human girl who doesn't know Parseltongue but can understand me." , I have never seen it. 】The head on the left said calmly:【Maybe she just didn't speak her Parseltongue, I've always only been able to communicate with Parseltongue. 】The head on the right continued to beat coldly: 【Shut up, she doesn't speak Parseltongue at all. 】

"Yes, I don't know Parseltongue." Charlotte turned around and looked at the three-headed snake that circled behind her again, "I feel that you don't intend to attack me, so we can have a friendly chat Like? Tell me, for example, what is a 'natural agreeable'?"

The three-headed snake stopped in front of Charlotte, and they all nodded. The head on the left said: [Then let's talk, I've decided. 】

The head in the middle began to narrate: "[Natural Compatible Persons" are people with a strong affinity for creatures. They are generally extremely friendly to creatures. They are friends of creatures, and creatures will not actively attack them. I once saw a person with A person with natural affinity, but he can't be called a 'natural affinity' because his affinity is not enough. But I should have followed him at the beginning, I didn't expect the former owner to abandon us here.] The head in the middle Once again caught in the memory.

The head on the right scolded: [I am very comfortable in my own life, why do I need to follow them? 】

"Your master?" Charlotte asked curiously.

【Yes Yes.My master, he is a good wizard, but he left me here.He brought me from Burkina Faso to the United States, but left me in this unknown place, it was terrible, terrible. ] the middle head replied.

"America's snake, okay." Charlotte doesn't know much about America, but hears it from Daniel many times, because most of his favorite superheroes are from America.Bringing back the topic: "So I'm a 'nature-friendly person'? Then why would the white monkey attack me?"

Charlotte carefully recalled what happened that day.

【You must have attacked it first! 】The head on the right said coldly.

"It seems to be." Charlotte murmured, that day the white monkey only attacked Alan at first, and after she cut it with a dagger, it began to attack her frantically.

[You are very different. ] The head on the left said, 【You are not just a 'Nature Compatible Person', I feel peace and calm by your side.I have never felt this way. 】

Middle and right heads agree.

Then Charlotte talked with them, and she wanted to ask if there were any colonies of birds and snakes in this forest, or other anecdotes about the forest.While Charlotte was chatting with the three-headed snake, time flew by like the fine sand at the fingertips.Until it was getting dark, Allen came back on a broom, and he quickly saw the rune snake coiled at Charlotte's feet.

He frowned and said, "Rune snake? How can there be a rune snake here? Isn't that a species unique to Africa?"

The head in the middle of the Rune Snake has been tilted here and there as if it has entered some deep memory, and the head on the right is turned in Alan's direction, baring its black glossy fangs and making a threatening hiss.Allen stopped. He looked at the snake on the ground and Charlotte sitting on the black stone, and asked helplessly, "What's going on now?"

"This is my friend, he will not hurt you." Charlotte said to the snakehead on the left.

The snake head on the left hesitated for a while, and also spit out a message to feel something. Its yellowish eyes looked at Charlotte again, 【It does look harmless, I agree with his approach. 】The snakehead on the right heard it, turned back, and stopped paying attention to Allen.

Charlotte explained to Allen: "When I came down to look at the dead white monkeys, they came over. They were thrown here by the former owner. According to them, they came from the United States." Charlotte shrugged, " I asked them about the bird and snake colony, but they don't know, the forest is too big. But they know some plants that are 'delicious to eat', I think it should be more useful herbs? Rune snakes should You don't eat grass like Xiaobai, do you?"

"Of course I don't eat grass." Allen jumped up excitedly, "Some plants with sufficient magic power will also attract carnivorous magical creatures. You are a lucky star, we can find more valuable things with this rune snake s things."

In the end, Allen respectfully invited the rune snakes into his magical creature box, watching them shine like looking at the God of Wealth.At night, Charlotte told Ellen about her conversation with the rune snake. When she said that the rune snake always makes decisions with the left head, Ellen explained: "It's like this , the rune snake has three heads. The head on the left is a planner who decides where the rune snake should go and what to do afterwards; The head is a critic, and its teeth are very poisonous. Normally, the Rue snakes don't live long, but this one seems to have lived a long time, which means that the head on the right doesn't criticize much."

Thinking of the rune snake's right head constantly interrupting and mocking the other two heads, Charlotte laughed and said, "Maybe it's just because the one on the left and the one in the middle has a better temper."

In the next month, half of the time Charlotte and Alan followed the rune snake to search for herbs, and the other half of the time Alan took Charlotte to look for traces of birds and snakes in the deep forest.Ever since Allen learned of Charlotte's "natural affinity" status as a foul, he never left Charlotte in the camp.

It was not until mid-November that Charlotte and Alan bid farewell to the rune snake who was unwilling to leave, and left the forest with large bags of various potion materials, and returned to the hotel where they were temporarily staying.When Charlotte was tossing in the bathroom, Allen did not change his messy coat, but went out with a bag.

He didn't come back until it was dark.

With a big smile on his face, he said: "Sure enough, there is a black market here. I asked the local wizard to help me sell the bag of Gestroti grass, and one tenth of it will be given to him as a commission. But I gave him your Gringotts account, I hope you don't mind."

Charlotte asked in surprise, "Why use mine?"

"It's called risk diversification." Allen said, "Be careful with this kind of thing. I also want to open two new vaults in Gringotts in the name of my friend."

"Okay." Charlotte pursed her lips, coughed twice, and said softly, "Then will the money in my vault be taken out again?"

Allen laughed. He patted Charlotte on the shoulder, blinked and said, "The things in your vault are of course yours. Only you have the right to do what to it."

Charlotte's eyes lit up.
