Chapter 4 Daily Sitting and Lying

It is Curt's biggest wish to hope that Liqi can get rid of her fake behavior, no doubt about it.

To be honest, this thin person is usually very honest at the same time - as long as she sends her a book she hasn't read, she will basically squat in the study all day long except when she eats. She is so honest that people even suspect that she has autism.

I remember when I first came to this neighborhood, there was a lot of commotion because of Liqi's semi-autummy symptoms and severe nutritional body shape. Even police officers came to their place to see the stars and the moon and talked about life and ideals with Curt - they were almost arrested directly.

So now that I can live such a peaceful life, Curt couldn't help but want to express his gratitude to all the gods in the world. Unfortunately, there will be exceptions. In Liqi, who should have been an "introverted and shy literary girl", the so-called exception is a disaster-level.

This exception is her normal behavior of pretending to be dead as a means of reducing stress.

Yes, hobbies, and are normal.

It should be said that when he met Liqi many years ago, Curt had known her disastrous "personal hobby". But since she came to this city, her hobby seemed to have become more and more crazy - especially the "explosive bomb crushing incident" that he and she often boasted about.

The past is unbearable to look back on.

This sentence is used to describe the fact that Curt's mentality is too appropriate every time he thinks of this.

At that time, Curt had not yet established the rule that "the tasks you received must be able to go back and forth within two days." After all, I had just come here at that time and had just entered the mercenary business. Of course, I had to take on any tasks for the sake of livelihood, and the tasks like escorting the caravan were actually not very dangerous, and I could also get a considerable income, which was a task that most newcomers wanted to accept - so when I received this task, Curt was still excited for a while.

If he had known from the beginning that this was the overture of a series of nightmares, he would not have thought of going out to escort the caravan or something - absolutely.

Nothing happened along the way, and he received a lot of reward after the task was completed. But when he returned home, the tragedy was so vividly presented to him.

"Court, I'm hungry, cook something for me!"

Liqi, who had eaten all the puffs, showed no sign of fullness at all, and her loud scream of hunger interrupted Curt's memory.

"You go and clean the pile of things and you can eat."

Looking at the pile of flesh and blood mixture that was still scattered in front of the door, Curt, who had just agreed to cook, was involuntarily pulled towards the beginning of the "tragedy".

For the first time, he completed a long-term mission, and brought the money he earned and a few familiar mercenaries to hold a small celebration banquet at his home.

But when the door is opened...

He was shocked.

There is a sea of ​​blood in front of me.

I can only describe the situation at that time by using the sea of ​​blood.

Behind the door was Liqi's broken body. A long strip of blood was dragged from the living room to the front of the door.

No matter how you look at it, you think it was the girl who struggled to climb to the front door after being seriously injured, but finally fell to the ground.

The hall was covered with blood and bone fragments in a radial shape. The room that was carefully cleaned before leaving the door looked like it had become ruins. To be honest, even if he was used to Li Qi's hobby of pretending to be dead, he would not be able to return to his normal thinking from this terrible tragedy.

Then…

Seeing Curt staring in front of the door without any reaction, the acquaintance standing beside him couldn't help but look curiously to see what was going on.

——Afterward they told Curt that this was the last act they regretted in their lives.

Even mercenaries who have seen many scenes will tremble when they see such a bloody scene, not to mention these newcomers who have just debuted not long ago.

Two people instantly ran aside and retching. If they hadn't all been empty, this scene would have become more difficult to clean up, right?

The fuzzy flesh and blood were scattered everywhere, and the foul foul filth was mixed into a ball.

Thinking about it now, it was a tragedy...

"Cleaning it! Are the food ready? I'm hungry!"

Another shout.

"Not yet...where did the puff you just ate go?"

Curt, who was cutting vegetables, complained, and then put all the vegetables cut into irregular pieces into the pot.

"In another stomach!"

What a joke, if you have more stomachs, the scene might be even more out of control, right?

"You said you've finished cleaning?"

I turned my head to look at the hall cleaned by Liqi. I was so messy just now that nothing had happened, covered with disastrous fragments. It was clean and tidy, spotless, as if the tragic scene that was about to burn the viewer's retina just was just a virtual image arranged with illusion.

"No matter how many times I feel, you are moving so fast."

Thinking about it now, it was the same at that time - clearing it out in two ways and cleaning it up.

"Liqi!"

I remember that he couldn't help but yelling out when he came to his senses.

"Oh... are you back? I thought you weren't back..."

The "corpse" lying on the ground seemed to be a cat awakened from sleep, murmuring in a daze. Then he staggered up from the door.

"You've been playing too much this time!"

Seeing Liqi's appearance, Curt was not angry anymore, but he still preached loudly, as if he wanted to tell those scared friends that this was just a little joke for ** people.

"Who told you to come back... I've finished reading the books, and no one came to buy them for me..."

Anyway, the purpose was to achieve it-at least those mercenaries did not continue to vomit.

After this incident, in order to make up for the mental trauma of those acquaintances, Curt had to spend a lot of time and energy to deal with the funeral. According to them, they did not dare to touch meat products for several weeks, nor did they dare to see seasonings such as tomato sauce and chili sauce.

It was also from then on that in order to prevent Liqi from playing tricks to cause trouble to the surrounding residents, Curt set a rule for himself to "only deal with short-term tasks."

The eldest sister, who knew the whole story, looked "Oh, is this kind of thing? That's a pity...", but she still didn't say anything. After all, although the mercenary industry is to sell their abilities to work, most of the time, they have to respect everyone's requirements.

Gulugulu—

Take off from memory, Curt saw the ingredients in the pot churned with the boiling water, and a simple fragrance overflowed from the soup and gradually spread out from the small kitchen.

"Mushrooms, sweet potatoes and so on." Liqi, who came to the side, sniffed the scent like a puppy, "It smells so good! You can eat it! You can eat it!"

Speaking of which, Liqi is obviously a real foodie - delicious, know how to eat, and can eat. But no matter how much she eats, her nutritional appearance will not improve, which makes people who know the situation wonder, "Where did all the things you eat go?"

She approached the soup pot from behind, and was unhonestly trying to pick up the spoon and try the things that were still cooking.

"It's not cooked yet, and the seasonings are not fully prepared. Wait a little longer."

Curt, who was preparing supper, was already accustomed to the harassment of this delicious guy. He seized the wooden spoon from her hand that he had obtained from some unknown place and threw it into the tableware rack. Then he rushed the guy who seemed to be able to eat as much as he could, so as not to disturb her.

Soup cannot be completed in an instant like the tabletop game children play, "You have produced the Earth's Grace Soup x3". Of course, even if such a simple thing is not cooked at all, Liqi, who is only responsible for the "eating" process, would not be unaware of it.

But she still ran up to harass her when Curt was cooking and pretending to steal food. She was not a fool, she would not be unable to remember things for three years, nor would she be ignorant, and she had to be tired of being around people. Even if she urged to "faster" the sound did not contain any anger - this was not so much a urging, but rather a ritual that was deliberately pursuing a ceremony similar to communication was more accurate.

Why?

Curt once raised this question at the dinner table.

——Because it’s boring.

--What's the meaning?

——This is a ritual, after all, it is boring to sit alone at the dining table.

——I don’t understand you.

——Forget it if you don’t understand.

Even after listening to Liqi's "explanation", Curt couldn't understand why Liqi had to repeat such a conversation. Maybe this has any special significance to her?

Anyway, the unnutritional conversation between the two turned to other places, but every day in the future, as long as Curt cooks, Liqi will repeat the conversation "I'm hungry, are you okay?" as usual. And Curt, who felt that she was looking forward to it so much, wouldn't feel bored.

——The feeling that some people are looking forward to is actually good.

"Are you okay? So hungry!"

"Wait a minute, it's almost done."

Put down some of the last ingredients, and the smell in the pot seemed to be stronger.

"Well, it seems to be delicious. I can eat even ten servings!"

Liqi seemed very happy when she smelled the fragrance and began to place the tableware. It seemed that she could not wait for dinner.

"Please leave some for me."

The "can eat ten servings" she said from her mouth is really not a boast... It should be said that Liqi's stomach capacity is completely comparable to the bottomless pit - no matter how much Curt cooks, there will definitely be no possibility of wasting any slightest possibility. As for where the food is eaten... who knows?

"Are you okay?"

Wait... Is the frequency getting faster?

Stirring the soup in the pot, Curt felt a strange feeling.

"Are you okay? Are you okay?"

That's right, the frequency is getting faster!

"Wait a minute!"

"Is it okay?"

The meaningless and stupid conversation began to blast out like a machine gun, but for some reason, Curt could feel that Liqi was a little happy.

After more than fifty questions, Curt finally brought the large bowl full of mixed soup to the table. Then he opened the kraft paper package sent by the bakery owner, which contained a whole piece of almonds stuffed with all kinds of dried fruits as fillings - the two of them were more than enough to eat.

Curt divided the bread and soup into one to four ratios, and placed the whole thing in front of Liqi.

"Okay, today's dinner is mixed soup and bread."

"Oh, it smells so good!"
