Maria greeted them all the way, exuding an exaggerated "temperament" of a saint, while almost all the villagers stood outside the house and looked at them.
The look in their eyes was of course not worship and admiration, but like looking at a group of monkeys in the zoo, dressed like humans.
Walked by.
Laughing and laughing, pointing.
If they hadn't had enough experience, their skin would have been as thick as a city wall.
The average person would be eager to dig a hole and crawl in.
"Maria, Maria."
An old man with a white beard reaching down to his belly and a cane in his hand walked out of the house shakily.
"Oh, old man, why are you out?"
The children of this family hurriedly helped him.
The old man looked like he was in his late 90s or 80s.
He was unsteady when he walked and even spoke with a vibrato.
"Grandpa Hammer."
Maria stopped and smiled at the old man: "I said that I am the saint appointed by God, and now I have to complete my mission."
Grandpa Hammer looked at Cheng Qianxun and the others with his dim old eyes: "Who are you, and where do you want to take Maria?"
"I..."
As soon as he started speaking, he was interrupted by Maria.
Maria said confidently: "They were ordered by God to come and help me complete my mission."
Needless to say, people looked at them with more vigilance, no less than looking at human traffickers. . .
At this time, he could only bite the bullet and said, "Yes, we were inspired by God to come here to protect and assist her."
But this can't fool this old man.
Obviously Grandpa Hammer is very protective of this crazy girl.
He paused with his crutch: "No, you can't take her away, no matter what you say.
Even if you take a handful of my old bones, cough cough cough..."
He was so excited that he coughed.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, okay, okay, whatever you say will be what it is."
The son and daughter-in-law, who looked to be in their fifties or sixties, urged her hurriedly, patting her on the back and pouring water.
The grandson, who must have been in his thirties, waved to them: "You go, Maria is not going anywhere."
Maria was anxious: "No, I'm going.
No one can stop me."
"Okay."
The grandson's daughter-in-law came over and took Maria's arm: "You kid, why don't you understand at all?
Grandpa loves you so much.
Why don't you understand?
You are such a big girl.
You still daydream all day long. " "Ahem..."
Grandpa Hammer regained his composure after breathing heavily: "Don't forget that we have all been benefited by her family to some extent, and we should be grateful as human beings.
I make the decision today.
If you say you are not allowed to go, you are not allowed to go. " This village is better.
There is a tradition of respecting the elderly and caring for the young.
As soon as the old man spoke, other villagers began to gather around.
If this didn't work, Cheng Qianxun looked at Rudolph, and Rudolph followed her knowingly to Grandpa Hammer.
"Grandpa Hammer, right?"
She said with a smile: "Can we go inside to talk?
I have some things that I can only tell you in private."

Grandpa Hammer agreed and asked his son and daughter-in-law to help him into the house.
Cheng Qianxun looked at Sneijder and the others, telling them to wait outside.
Then he took Rudolph in with him.
After entering the house, the story was made up.
The story goes like this.
Maria's parents also had a cousin who was a rich man and had no children.
Before his death, he made a will to let his nephew inherit the inheritance.
When the estate supervisor and executor came, he found his nephew dead and irresponsibly went back to report it.
Later, I checked again and found that there was a descendant of Maria.
If the nephew died, of course his daughter would inherit.
"We were hired to take the heir away.
As you can see, this Maria has a very special idea.
In order to ensure safety on the road, this is the only way we can do it."
Cheng Qianxun said it seriously, and it was true.
I almost believed it myself.
"How can I believe what you say?
I heard that Maria no longer has any relatives, so why does another one appear?"
Grandpa Hammer lay on the recliner and listened quietly, but he was still full of suspicion: "Her father's Uncle cousin, I’ve never heard of it.”
"This cousin is actually a half-brother from the previous generation.
We have always been separated and have never met each other.
The relationship is very unfamiliar, so I just said it."
In order to prove these lies, Rudolf also helped to cover up the lies and even took photos.
He patted the sword on his waist: "Old man, look at how much my sword is worth.
Would a human trafficker be worthy of such a sword?"
Cheng Qianxun directly took off the sword and gave it to Grandpa Hamo's son with both hands.
The son took the sword, took it out and took a look, and immediately giggled: "It's true."
He even touched the edge of the sword with his hand, and immediately there was a bloody cut and he bared his teeth.
"Be careful, don't use your hands so easily, some killers' swords are still poisonous."
She quickly took back the sword, and seeing how nervous the other party was, she secretly smiled: "Don't worry, we are mercenary knights, and the swords are all clean. " "Oh."
Grandpa Hammer lowered his guard.
After thinking about it, he asked, "Then where is the place where the inheritance is?"
When she hesitated, Rudolf answered first: "Sorry, it is not convenient for us to disclose.
According to our professional principles, we will not disclose any information about the employer.
But please don't worry, when Miss Maria becomes a rich lady, she can choose Come back to see you."
After a while, Grandpa Hammer personally walked them out of the house on crutches: "Ah ha, then I'll leave it to you to take care of Maria.
You must take good care of her along the way."
After saying this, the villagers who were originally watching with eager eyes and planned to stay relaxed immediately.
"You should take good care of your health.
Maria will definitely come back to see you in the future."
Cheng Qianxun said all kinds of nice things with a smile on his face.
"Okay, okay."
Grandpa Hammer raised his hand and said to Maria: "Come on, child."
Maria looked a little reluctant, but walked over anyway.
Grandpa Hammer's hand was like a dry branch.
He took Maria's hand and looked up and down: "Good boy, you have grown so big.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Grandpa can only take care of you until here.
When you settle down in the future, don't forget The villagers here and me, the old man.”
"I know, grandpa."
Maria answered quickly, then turned to Cheng Qianxun and the others and said, "Should we go?"
This white-eyed wolf.
She's a saint, she doesn't even know the basics of being a human being.
Cheng Qianxun cursed secretly, the nights are long and the dreams are many.
It’s better to leave quickly: “Yes, Miss, let’s go.”
And Rudolf once again assured Grandpa Hammer: "Don't worry, we will definitely fulfill our responsibilities."
Grandpa Hammer said to his son: "Go get a bag of flour and let them take it with them on the way."
On the one hand, it is possible to ask Maria not to forget them, and on the other hand, it is possible that Maria is actually allowed to eat with them on the way.
"No, that's very heavy."
Maria walked forward carelessly, not understanding at all.
They have no money at all, even if they have a small shop, except for robbing.
There was no money to buy anything at all.
Grandpa Hammer said to them: "I know you don't have to worry about food and drink, but there are not many people selling things along the way, so just take half a bag, they are all grown by yourself."
Carrying a bag is indeed a bit tiring.
Half a bag plus what I just found in the house.
Save some food, it was enough for six people for more than half a month.
They hurriedly got the flour and thanked them.
"Goodbye, goodbye..."
They turned around from time to time and waved goodbye to these simple villagers.
You still have to put on a show, lest you notice anything wrong, the whole village, young and old, use farm tools to catch up and rob you.
"Let's go now.
The sacred mission is still waiting for us."
Maria thought they were too busy.
Cheng Qianxun rolled his eyes: "You should also say goodbye to them.
After all, they gave you food."
Maria stared: "That's what they dedicated to God.
And I am God's servant."
Well, this idea is very special.
After holding it in for a long time and still unable to speak, Sneijder couldn't help it anymore: "As a servant of God, we should shine warmth on all the mortals around us."
Upon hearing this, Mary immediately crossed her arms, knelt down and said to heaven: "God, I'm sorry, I was wrong.
As a servant, you should be humble.
Please forgive me.
I will correct my mistake immediately and reflect deeply."
It seems that her parents' education level is quite high, but how did she give birth to such a freak?
Is it because of overeducation?
After Mary stood up, she waved her arms: "Goodbye, all kind people, I will definitely pray to God every day and seek blessings for you."
The villagers all looked blank, laughed heartily, and continued to wave goodbye with a smile.
Although there is religion here, it is not to the point of obsessive belief like in the Middle Ages.
People like Mary would definitely donate all their property to go to monasteries in the Middle Ages.
Their level of belief can be used as a typical example to be promoted everywhere.
She can really be rated as a saint.
But here, it is an outlier.

"Goodbye, goodbye..."
Maria was very serious about "reforming" now, waving all the way until she was one kilometer away, even the house could not be seen.
She turned around from time to time and waved goodbye with both hands.
Protecting such a masterpiece, I really don’t know how to live the rest of my life.
After walking for a while, I looked at the sun and it was about four o'clock.
The environment here should be similar to that of the earth.
Then it was time to set up camp.
"This is it."
Gordon walked to a small forest and called everyone.
It is at a high altitude, the land is relatively dry, and there is a small pond next to it, and the water is quite clear.
It's a good place to spend the night.
Rudolph nodded: "I'll go hunting."
"I'm going to get firewood."
Cheng Qianxun turned around and started picking up branches.
Make a slightly clean area on the ground, otherwise dry leaves and branches ignited by the bonfire can cause a fire.
There is still a lot of work to do, including boiling water, making fire, and preparing dinner.
Maria couldn't understand: "What are you doing?
Keep walking."
"Don't you want to eat?"
Regel's stomach growled as early as five kilometers ago.
This time they will be hungry and need to eat.
"Then let's go after eating."
Maria agreed.
One thing she did was sit down on the spot, cross her legs and put her hands on both sides of her knees, and closed her eyes.
The firewood found and the firewood chopped by Regel should be enough for tonight.
Starting to light the fire, Sneijder was already in the small pond nearby, cleaning the pots and dishes he brought from the house, and filling them with water.
Water in the wild must be boiled before drinking.
Raw water may contain a large number of microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, and parasite eggs.
After following my teammates for such a long time, now I watch ancient movies.
The actors squat down on the water bank, wave their hands in the water, and drink directly from the water.
I am thinking that it is possible to drink all the leech eggs and everything in the water.
Now, your stomach will hurt.
At this time Rudolph and Gordon also came back, bringing a hare: "There are quite a lot of prey here.
If it weren't for the inconvenience of carrying it, there are deer, sheep, and cattle."
At this time, Maria opened her eyes and jumped up as soon as she saw the rabbit in Rudolph's hand: "Poor little rabbit..."
She ran over and snatched the rabbit away.
Gordon said softly to Cheng Qianxun: "Don't worry, he's already dead.
I knew this would happen."
"Kill it."
Maria looked very angry: "It might be a mother, and there is a nest of newborn babies in the cave waiting for her to nurse."
Rudolf said leisurely: "Look here, it's a male.
If you don't believe me, just take a look and peel off the rabbit's fur to take a good look."
Maria was stunned for a moment, and then said after a while: "You can't kill the male at will, and you can't eat it.
I will bury it, and I will also pray to heaven and ask for forgiveness for your sins."
"Are you sick?"

The hungry Reger couldn't help but get angry.
"I'll do it."
Cheng Qianxun stopped Reger, snatched the rabbit away, and threw it to Rudolf.
Then he stopped in front of Maria: "Miss, do you know that we killed it to save it?"
Other animals."
"Kill to save" Maria couldn't understand now: "Explain it."
"Okay."
She began to explain patiently: "Rabbits eat grass, right?
The reproduction speed of rabbits is quite amazing.
A rabbit can give birth to about dozens of rabbits every year, and its offspring will reproduce. , thousands of rabbits can be born in three years, and if the population is not controlled, all the grass will be eaten by them.
If it is lost, then other animals here, including cattle, sheep, deer, birds, and all animals that eat grass will starve to death.
You must know that they are animals and cannot pray to God like you.
God cannot control so many animals. , it’s too late to care about people.
Think about it, can you bear to let these cute, kind and docile herbivores starve to death?”
As soon as he said this, Maria blinked her eyes for a while, and her mind was spinning for a long time.
After a long time, he said: "Okay, since rabbits are so harmful, I allow you to eat one today."
She was dizzy, but she had better cooperate.
She bowed immediately: "Thank you."
Anyway, Rudolph had already peeled the skin, cut the meat into large pieces, and roasted it on the fire.
"But I will still go and ask for forgiveness for you.
Killing is wrong."
Maria sat cross-legged again, closed her eyes, and placed her hands on both sides of her knees
