Chapter Thirty-Seven: Kappa Village(1/2)
Lake slowly walked to the other side of the carriage with the bucket, where Buti was already waiting for him.
The dim car roof light shone on Buti's face, body and inside the carriage. Buti had lowered the folding stairs at the door of the carriage.
Lake raised the bucket in his hand high above his head and handed it to his father who was bending down and waiting in the car. However, he took the handed bucket and did not use it immediately. Instead, he threw something into the bucket.
After doing this, they still did not go back to the cutting board under the window to continue processing their dinner. Instead, they stretched out their hands to Lake and motioned for Lake to get back to the car quickly.
Lake opened his mouth to say something more, but when Buti saw that he wanted to speak, he immediately shook his head and raised his index finger in front of his mouth.
With Buti's pull, he climbed back into the Far Traveler's carriage.
Boom!
Following Lake into the carriage, Buti immediately put away the folding stairs from the carriage and slammed the door.
After spending so much time with Uncle Buti, he has seen the Farstrider many times. Today, he sat on it for nearly a day. This was the first time that Lake took a closer look at the carriage of the Farstrider.
internal.
The place where they were standing now was not very big, and the place further inside was closed by Buti with a door.
The window in front of him was the one he just saw. Buti used a stick to support it, so that the lights on the roof could escape from the constraints of the car and shine out.
Right below the window is a suspended tabletop embedded in the wall of the carriage. The style is probably the metal product on it. Lake moved closer to Buti and took a look. The metal tabletop was covered with elemental inscriptions. It should be a stove. Buti
Meat is being fried in the pan above it.
To the left of the stove is a metal table suspended from the wall, but there is no elemental inscription on it. It is probably just a table used for eating.
There is an oversized box above the dining table, but Lake can't see the door or door handle from the front. Instead, he can see a large handle under the box.
Just when he was about to reach out and grab the handle and pull the box down to take a look, Buti had already finished cooking dinner, which was fried steak.
"If I were you, I would not touch the owner's things without his consent." Buti held a plate in one hand and squeezed away Lake, who was standing at the dining table. "Young people are curious.
Your heart is normal, but you can't go too far."
"Are you finally willing to pay attention to me? Dad?"
Lake was not the kind of rude person, he just wanted to attract his father's attention. After all, his father didn't speak to him again from the time he came to talk under the car door to the time he got in the car.
"When did I ignore you? If I really ignored you, do you think you would still be alive now?" Buti ignored Lake and put the plate in his hand on the dining table, "If you are hungry
, just eat something, I’ll have something to do later.”
After that, Buti ignored Lake and took out a pair of silvery tableware from the storage box on the wall in front of him. He held a fork in his left hand and a knife in the right, and stood in front of the dining table to enjoy his meal.
Lake watched Buti eat and felt a little hungry. He touched his belly under his clothes and found it was flat. So he also put his hand into the storage box on the wall. He was in the storage box.
I touched it inside, and there was a "ping ping ping ping ping" sound of metal colliding.
"If you want to ask, just ask."
Buti raised his head and glanced at Lake, then continued cutting the big steak.
When Lake heard Buti's words, he stopped what he was doing, took out a set of cutlery from the storage box, and began to stand in front of the dining table and slowly cut the big steak.
"There are too many, I have to sort them out."
Lake cut a small piece of steak, put it in his mouth and chewed it. Judging from the texture and taste, it should be beef. It was fried to be tender and juicy. When you bite into it, you can feel the juice splashing in your mouth.
"If you can't think of it, there's no need to say anything."
Buti knew that Lake was having a little temper with him. Lake had already guessed that he was hiding something from him, although he didn't do anything to hide it, he just didn't tell Lake.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong."
Lake was just showing off his temper. He still wanted to know what the situation in Kapa Village was like. Although he always felt that he should have heard stories about Kapa Village, he could never remember it. He only remembered Kapa Village.
There is a pumpkin farm that is so famous that there are rumors about it in Cary City.
"Three questions, you can ask me three questions."
Buti ate very quickly. He had almost finished the big steak and only had two or three cuts left.
"Only three? Isn't that too few?"
Lake had something in his mouth and spoke in a garbled voice.
"It's okay, you don't have to ask."
Buti had already finished eating the steak, put all the cutlery and plates into the bucket brought by Lake, and started cleaning them.
Lake cut a large piece of meat and put it on the fork. He turned around and looked at Buti, but before he could speak, he saw that the water in the bucket he was carrying had changed color. The originally turbid water was
It became clear after dad's treatment.
Lake wanted to ask what Buti had just put into the bucket to make the water in the bucket so clear. Of course, it was compared to the previous turbidity, but overall it was still a big change.
But when Lake was about to speak out, he suddenly realized that this should be considered a question, and quickly stuffed the steak into his mouth to stop his speech.
"Cough cough, cough cough."
Lake held the fork in one hand and slapped his chest with the other. It turned out that it was because of his actions just now that he choked.
"You better hurry up, they're coming."
Buti placed the washed plates and cutlery on the dining table and waited for them to dry naturally. Then he took out a backpack from the corner near the car door, took out a bunch of things from it, and placed it on the ground.
"Ahem! Ouch! Ouch~"
Lake felt better after another slap. He raised his hands and stared at the steak in his hands that was stained with his saliva. He hesitated and started eating again.
Buti had already poured out all the contents of his backpack, which was a set of clothes, some miscellaneous equipment, and a cloak with a hood.
He squatted on the ground and took off his coat, revealing a gray lining, and began to put on the clothes he had just dumped out.
"First question, where is this place?"
While chewing the steak, Lake thought about what question he should ask. He thought for a while before speaking.
"Oh? Are you actually asking this? This is Kapa Village, the Kapa Village with the pumpkin farm."
Buti, who was putting on his equipment, didn't expect that Lake had just asked such a question after thinking about it for a long time.
"Ah? That's it? Of course I know this is Kapa Village! I mean, this shouldn't be just Kapa Village, right? Or what's wrong with this Kapa Village?"
Lake was a little embarrassed. He seemed to have wasted an opportunity by asking an obvious question.
"Judging from your tone of voice, you have two questions."
Buti had already put on his clothes and started tying weapon belts and prop belts around his body.
"Well, let me think about it. Are the villagers in Kapa Village still human?"
Lake put the last bit of steak on his fork and ate it.
"no."
Buti sorted the props he poured out into categories and inserted them into his own belt.
"That's it? Dad, don't you introduce some other situations? That's all you say? Also, are they really not human? But I think they are obviously fine under the sun. I can't tell you in the book
I have never seen any ghosts that can move under sunlight with sufficient light elements."
Lake ate the steak clean, licked his fork, and then put the plates and cutlery into the bucket to wash them as Buti had done before.
As soon as Lake put his hand in the bucket, he felt a biting chill, as if tomorrow was not May 1st, but November 1st. Lake shivered and quickly pulled his hand out.
At this time, Buti had also prepared things. He pulled Lake's hand out of the bucket and put it back into the bucket.
Lake was just about to scream, but he put his hand into the water again, but the cold breath seemed to have never appeared before. The water in the bucket now was just ordinary water. Although it was a bit cold, on this spring night
It's quite normal here.
"You have one last question."
Buti turned around and said.
“What happened here in Capa?”
Lake quickly washed the cutlery and plates. The cutlery seemed to be oil-free and could be rinsed with water.
"I don't know if you have heard the story of 'Rainy Road' before." Buti did not answer Lake's question, but told a story, "The story of 'Rainy Road' happened more than a hundred years ago. At that time
Lindobuti has not yet been unified, and many noble lords are fighting against each other, and the Calendar Province is no exception. There are two political powers in Cali City alone, one is the official Cali City of Lindobuti, and the other is
One belongs to the Barony of Capa. Baron Capa was enfeoffed by the then Emperor Fabuti in 1799. I have forgotten the specific reason, but it is not important anyway."
Only then did Lake realize that the place they were in was a place that logically should not exist. He grabbed Buti's words and continued.
"Then the fourth or fifth hereditary Baron Capa stabbed his family's guardian fairy (a kind of fairy who relied on faith to practice) in the back because he believed in the devil, killed her and sacrificed her body.
, and even made her eyes into magic props. In the end, Lin Duobuti officials sent troops to suppress the bandits. Am I right?"
"You remembered it now?"
Buti looked at Lake with a smile.
"I'm just talking about why I always feel like I've heard the name Capa somewhere, but I didn't expect that I actually heard it in a horror story about Cali City." Lake said quietly, "Dad, you should have known it a long time ago.
Right? Then why did you bring me to this place?"
"Because you need exercise, and I suddenly found this place perfect for it."
