Mama told me not to play with Knotts

The old man's old voice reached his ears, "I'm fine, young man." He put his hands on the ground, as if he wanted to stand up, and his movements were trembling.

Seeing that the old man hadn't stood up for a long time, Joey was startled by the thin arm. He quickly stretched out his hand and hugged the old man's arm, trying to help him stand up.

The old man paused, and suddenly gave Joey a fixed look.Then, he stood up with Joey's support.

Seeing the old man's feet shaking like chaff, Joey couldn't help asking, "Are you okay? Where is your home? Do you want me to help you go home?"

The old man said: "No need."

Joey stood still and watched him walk away slowly, still feeling a little uneasy in his heart, so he followed him cautiously.

Joey found that the old man was walking towards the village, followed the old man for a while, and Joey was already standing at the gate of the village.

The old man suddenly looked back at him, "What are you following me for?"

Joey was stunned for a while, and then said: "I'm a little worried about you." He paused, and then said, "Seeing that you are fine, I am relieved now, then I will go first."

The old man said: "Young man, if you don't dislike me as an old man, just follow me."

Joey was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "You are serious, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't fall down on the street." After he finished speaking, he stepped up and followed the old man into the village.After a while, he followed the old man into a simple house.

This is a very ordinary rough room, with only simple beds, chairs and tables.

The old man glanced at him, coughed twice, and said, "Sit down." When he coughed, his whole body trembled, his chest vibrated, and the cloth he was wearing also trembled.Joey found that the old man was really thin.

He found a chair and sat down, "Old man, do you live alone?"

The old man said: "Yes."

Joey asked worriedly, "Do you have no children?"

The old man lowered his head, "I used to live with a grandson, but when we went up the mountain to collect medicine a few days ago, he was bitten to death by a monster."

Joey said apologetically, "Sorry, I didn't mean to touch your heart."

"It's okay." The old man coughed again, this time he coughed so badly that it seemed that his lungs were about to be coughed out.

Joey couldn't see it, so he stood up and walked to the old man's side, put his hand on the old man's back, and patted him lightly, giving him comfort.Just by patting intermittently through the fabric, Joey could feel the thinness of the old man's body, and it was extraordinarily cold, as if he was patting an ice cube.

Seeing the old man's cough slowly stop, Joey heaved a sigh of relief, and sat down next to the stool again.

The old man stood up, picked up the basket, and walked out.Joey asked him, "What are you going to do?"

The old man replied: "I'm going to the mountains to collect herbs."

Joey felt nervous, "Are you going alone? But your grandson was just killed by a monster a few days ago. It's not safe for you to do this."

The old man sighed, his brows and eyes drooping, as if shrouded in a gloomy cloud, "I have no choice but to make a living, otherwise I will starve to death here?"

After hesitating for a moment, Joey took out the only dry bread he had left from the ring and handed it to the old man, "This is all I have on me. If you're hungry, you can eat it."

The old man glanced at him, but didn't answer.

Joey said: "Take it as an apology for bumping into you just now."

The old man just took it. He picked up the dry bread and put it into his mouth. Just after taking a bite, Joey heard Gada's sound, and he saw the old man take out a white tooth from his mouth.

Joey panicked, "I'm sorry, is it too hard? I'm going to get you some water." He trotted out and walked outside to find the water source.

Joey walked around and finally saw a yard with a well and buckets.Fortunately, he used this old-fashioned well several times when he was with his grandfather.

He put the bucket down and quickly scooped up clear water.Because the bucket was a bit heavy, Joey didn't scoop up too much water, otherwise he couldn't carry it.

By the time he successfully returned with the bucket, more than ten minutes had passed.Seeing that the old man was still sitting in the original position, Joey hurried over with the bucket. He took out the mouth-deep plate from the storage ring, poured some water into it, and handed the plate to the old man.

The black-haired and black-eyed boy had flushed cheeks, and a little sweat on his fair forehead. Although he was a little out of breath, his eyes were bright.

"You soak the bread in it and it's ready to eat."

The old man stared straight at him.

Joey was a little puzzled, "What's the matter? Don't you know? Then let me help you?" He said as he reached out to grab the bread in the old man's hand.

The old man shook his head, "No, thank you, young man."

Seeing that the old man picked it up and did as he said, Joey was a little relieved. He sat on the chair next to the old man and watched the old man eat helplessly.

After the old man finished eating, he picked up the basket and went out again.

Joey stopped and said, "Are you not full? Are you going out again now?"

"Young man, you can't stay with me as an old man for the rest of your life. You may leave in another hour." When the old man walked to the door, he looked back at him, "Thank you for the bread."

Joey gritted his teeth and followed the old man.

Seeing him coming, the old man was a little surprised, "Aren't you going?"

Joey was not at ease and said, "I'll leave later."

They left the old man's house and walked through the village, as if they were going to go out to the gate of the village.

The village was very quiet, there were several houses, but he didn't hear any human voices, and when he was fetching water, the surrounding area was also very quiet.

Joey couldn't help asking, "Why is there no one here?"

The voice of the old man came from the front, mixed with wind and frost, "They all left when there was a flood a few years ago, and my grandson left me a few days ago, and now I am the only one left."

Joey stopped talking.

Leaving the village, a small hill appeared in the distance with sparse woods.Joey followed the old man up the mountain. After a while, Joey was a little tired. He leaned against a tree and stopped to rest. His eyes stretched forward and fell on the old man in front.

Joey was taken aback.

Hey, why is there a bird on the old man's shoulder?

The Earth God said in a solemn tone, "Baby, be careful, there is something wrong with this person. I can't see the color of his soul clearly, it seems to be covered by a layer of fog. In this case, I am only..."

Joey heard the old man cry out in pain. He seemed to have fallen down. He didn't think much about it, and he had already trotted over to help the old man up.

He put his hand on the upper part of the old man's arm, and happened to see the flowers that suddenly appeared next to the old man, as if blooming in the void, brilliant and dazzling.

Joey realized something, his body froze suddenly, and he almost wanted to turn around and run away.

At the same time, he heard a voice from the void, "The birds whisper for you, and the flowers and plants lift up for you. Have you heard the voice of nature? This song of nature has resounded for you."

The soft and familiar female voice is like a sacred sanskrit.

From that skinny old man's face came out the clear and clear voice of a young man.

At the same moment, his loose hand was held down.

Joy people are stupid.

"I've only seen it on the three of them so far." Earth God finished the rest of his sentence.

"Recognized?"

While Notts was speaking, he was slowly changing back to his previous appearance. His wrinkled skin became delicate and fair, his dirty eyes turned into beautiful green eyes, and his red lips showed a nasty smile.

"How did you recognize it?" Notts smiled, his white canine teeth shining brightly.

Joey didn't dare not answer, and his voice was aggrieved: "Because... because of the birds and flowers."

Hearing this, Notts' face darkened a little, and the actions of his subordinates subconsciously increased.

Joey's face turned pale, and he felt that his bones were about to break. His tears welled up in an instant, "Knotts, take it easy, it hurts to death."

Notts let go of his strength, and pinched Joey's face hard.

Joey cried aggrievedly, he felt that he was really wronged, the tears could not be stopped at all, "You lied to me, you lied to me, how could you do this, I won't play with you anymore."

Notz didn't answer, and the magic circle under his feet suddenly lit up.Just a blink of an eye away, they returned to that manor.

After working hard for several days, I returned to before liberation.

Thinking of this, Joey couldn't help feeling sad and kept crying. He pushed Notts away and sat on the carpet crying.Coupled with the sequelae after the teleportation array, he couldn't help feeling sick and even more wronged.

Because of being pushed away, Notts' face was ugly for a moment, but he quickly raised his eyebrows, "Do you like that old man so much?"

With tears in his eyes, Joey saw an old man standing in front of him. He let out a wow and cried even harder.

Notts frowned, and changed back to his previous appearance. He hugged Joey who was sitting on the ground crying.Joey found himself being picked up, and immediately struggled to get out of Notts' arms, crying while struggling, tears streaming down his cheeks, and soon wetted Notts' robe.

He clicked his tongue and said, "I've made you run so far, don't you want to go further?"

Joey glared at him angrily, but with tear-filled black eyes, it was not convincing.

He struggled again, but he couldn't get out, instead he was exhausted to death.Joey could only give up.

Notts lowered his eyes and asked him, "Why did you run away?"

When Joey heard this, he became angry with embarrassment, his cheeks flushed, "Because you always give me medicine." Even if he was killed, he would not tell the real reason!

"Beside the manor is a large piece of flat land, which is where the Lardi beasts live. You can't run away from them." Notz twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking of something again, "By the way, there is an unknown existence on your body." , He must have helped you in the past three days."

Joey stared suspiciously, "Are you following me?"

Notts said lazily, "Yeah, it's boring anyway."

Joey regained his senses. Although he was very angry, he didn't dare to show it too obviously, so he gave Notts a careful look, and quickly lowered his head.

Notts: "I can see it."

Joey: "..."

Joey kept his eyes on his nose, his nose and his heart, and he didn't dare to speak or make small moves.The gap between him and Notts is too great, and it's not that Notts can only do what he wants to do.

The corners of Notts' lips curled up, and he let him go, "Hurry up and take a shower, you seem to have a smell on your body. For the past three days, you've been sleeping on the ground, which is full of bugs and dust."

Joey was so scared that he opened his eyes slightly, "Then you still hug me!" After he finished speaking, he ran out quickly. He really didn't pay attention to this before. At that time, he was only focused on running away, so how could he notice this.But the elf Notts is really hateful, let him run away, watch him run away, how can there be such a hateful person!

The first floor of the house is the bathroom.The bathtub is wide, except for the four aisles next to it, the rest of the space is completely occupied by the bathtub.The water was warm and still steaming. There was a white and flawless human head statue at each end of the bath, and water was constantly spraying from the mouth.

The two head statues are so lifelike that even seeing them in the daytime makes people feel a little scared.He never dared to come to take a bath at night before taking a bath.

Joey took off his clothes and slowly entered the water. The temperature outside was a bit cold, but the warm water was just right.Joey leaned against the side of the bathtub, his white feet were constantly shaking in the water, he couldn't help squinting his eyes, looking comfortable.

He felt a sudden touch on his shoulder.Joey froze for a moment, turned his head to look back, and saw a tall man standing beside him.

His hair, eyelashes, and eyes are all white, as if someone had daubed him with white paint.He has no eyeballs, and his eyes are white, but Joey can clearly feel that his eyes are falling on him, motionless.And one of his hands was placed on his shoulder, with no nails on his fingers, like five white slender pillars.

That face was exactly the same as the previous puppet.

Joey's pupils constricted, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and tears rolled in his eyes.He shrank his body subconsciously, and quickly stepped back, "You, you, don't come here."

The puppet withdrew its hand and stood up, its toes resting next to the bathtub.

Joey was so frightened that he kept crying. He couldn't help but backed up until he reached the wall of the bathtub, so he could only stop.

At this moment, another cold hand was placed on his shoulder.

Joey looked back stiffly, and saw an identical puppet.When he turned his head and looked in the opposite direction, the scene where there was only one puppet unknowingly turned into a row.

Four rows of puppets stood around the bath, completely surrounding the bath.Their positions are very regular, and the distance between each other is about the same.The bath is surrounded by no gaps at all.

The Joeys were all terrified.

He stepped back and stopped in the middle of the bath.Afterwards, Joey sank down and hid in the warm water of the bath to hold his breath. He closed his eyes, his dark eyelashes scattered in the water, and the red corners of his eyes sank in the transparent and clear water, as if coated with a layer of peach pollen.

Joey closed his eyes and remained motionless. He was beaten to death without opening them.It perfectly interprets the ostrich psychology that as long as I can't see, I don't know that others can't see me.

"What are you doing?" Notts' voice suddenly floated from the side after an unknown period of time.

Joey stood up and opened his eyes when he heard Notts' voice.He quickly looked around, seeing that the white puppets were gone, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He swam slowly to the side of the tub, stretched his legs, and continued to dangle under the water.

Notts stood beside him, knelt down, touched his face, and said with a smile, "Don't want the puppet to help you take a bath?"

Joey heard this and looked at him, "Did you put the puppet in?"

Notts meant something, and rubbed his fingertips on Joey's face several times, curled his lips and said, "Yeah, are they not to your liking? I obviously made their skin according to the touch of human skin."

The boy's fingertips were extremely cold, as if someone was holding an ice cube and moving it constantly on his face.

Joey flinched subconsciously, and said, "I can take a bath myself, and I don't need others." After a while, he suddenly added in a low voice, "And they obviously don't feel like human skin, and they don't look like human skin. It's still so cold, it looks like a statue."

Notts smiled indifferently, "Oh that's right."

He moved his hand from Joey's face to the hair, and with a sudden force, he pulled out a few strands.

Joey's eyes flowed out instantly, he felt his scalp was about to be lifted, he couldn't help whimpering in pain, and his body curled up, "Notz, what are you doing, it hurts me to death."

Notts snorted, "It's really squeamish."

A green scroll appeared in the void and landed on Joey's head. After a while, Joey found that his head didn't hurt anymore.

Joey covered his head, quickly took a few steps back, looked in Notts' direction, with tears in his eyes, and complained in a low voice: "Putting out your hair is already painful. Why don't you pull out your own hair, you want to pull out mine of."

Notts stood up, "It's useless to pull mine, but yours."

After he finished speaking, he walked out, and when he reached the door, he suddenly turned around.Joey had relaxed his body at first, but when he saw him turn around, his body subconsciously stiffened again, looking at him as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Notts hooked the corner of his mouth, "It doesn't hurt me to pull out my hair, you are too delicate."

Joey didn't speak, and when Notts left, he glared at the door, "Hmph, can I be the same as you!"

After there were no bad people, Joey kept wandering in the bath, swimming from one end to the other.The warm water in the bath felt very comfortable flowing over his skin. He was floating on the water with his face up, his feet constantly swinging in the transparent warm water.

"Have you washed yet?"

Suddenly a familiar voice sounded.The green-eyed, black-haired boy was standing in the pool, his black robe and boots soaked in the water.That pretty face was facing him, staring straight at him with unknown emotions.

Joey was startled by him and almost fell into the water.He quickly jumped out of the water, walked a few steps, and leaned against the wall of the bath.

"Scared... scared me to death, why did you suddenly appear?"

"You've washed it for a long time, and it will be cooked again." Notts raised his eyebrows.

Joey: "..."

He looked down and saw that his skin had gotten really red.Joey would not admit that he was playful. He paused and said, "You don't need to tell me, I was about to come out."

Joey was about to climb ashore, but because he had soaked for too long, his footsteps were a little weak, and he couldn't use his strength. He gritted his teeth and planned to rush up in one go.But the floor at the bottom of the water was very slippery. After climbing for a long time, he failed to climb up, and instead made himself out of breath.

The whole body of the boy in the pool was red, like a boiled shrimp.He propped his hands on the ground, pressed hard, and his slender and white body kept shaking.

Joey didn't climb up after climbing for a long time. He was going to take a rest and climb again, but as soon as he let go of his strength, he felt his feet rise.

Joey: "?"

Notts' voice came from behind, "You are too slow."

Joey found that he was hugged by Notts, and immediately blushed with shame, "You let me get dressed first." They were very close, and Notts' warm breath fell on his ear, which The skin on the elf's body is very cold, but the breath is also hot.

He felt itchy on the back of his neck and couldn't help but want to scratch it.But as soon as his hand went out, it was held by Notts.

The emotion in Notts' eyes was a little dissatisfied, "Don't move."

Joey's face and ears were red, "Can you let me get dressed first?" Fortunately, because of the mist in the room, he didn't feel cold now.

Notz made a gesture, and the clothes next to him floated over.

Joey successfully got the clothes, and kicked his feet down, trying to step on the ground to get dressed.But Notts kept holding him, saw him moving around, looked impatient, and grabbed his feet too.

Joey froze for a moment, not understanding where he got so many hands.

At this time, the clothes in his hand were also taken away by Notts.

Just after taking a shower, Joey is still warm.But as time went by, the enthusiasm gradually dissipated a lot.Although the room was filled with warm water vapor, he still felt a little cold around him.

Joey couldn't help shivering, with some crystal tears in his eyes, "It's so cold."

Hearing this, Notts looked down at him. He stretched out his magical hand, and suddenly a huge fireball appeared in the air.

The temperature of the fireball was so hot that it lit up the entire room in an instant. The water in the bath seemed to have evaporated a lot, and Joey suddenly felt like there was a very, very high temperature stove next to him.

Joey looked surprised, "Notts, are you a fire magician?" He remembered that Notts only used wood magic in the original text.

The corners of Notts' lips curled up slightly, and he sneered, "I'm not only good at fire."

Joey's clothes are slowly being put on.

He couldn't see Notts' face, he could only feel Notts' hand moving slowly on his body.

Joey was a little uneasy, so he spoke to divert his attention, "Weren't you in the water just now? Why did the clothes dry so quickly?"

"I used water magic, recycling." He lazily replied while dressing Joey.

Joey's tone was even more surprised, "Do you also know water magic?"

Notts glanced at him, "Except light and dark, I know other magics. I am a magician of all schools."

Joey was shocked for a while, and suddenly remembered that the Earth God had told him that the elves were all born magicians.It can only be said that Notts is worthy of being a big villain.

After getting dressed, Joey finally felt safe.But he kicked his feet, but still couldn't step on the floor.

Joey looked blank: "Why don't you put me down?"

Notts yawned, let go of his hand, and retracted the fireball.The room instantly returned to its previous appearance.

Joey's feet were finally able to step on flat ground.He walked forward happily, but as soon as he took a step, his arms and feet were so tight that he couldn't use his arms and feet, and he fell to the ground without paying attention.

Joey groaned, and tears welled up in an instant.The ground is very hard and has raised patterns, because it is by the bathtub, there is no carpet, the ground is uneven, and water stains are spreading.

Notts clicked his tongue, walked over and hugged Joey, and couldn't help saying, "How did you live so big?"

With tears in his eyes, Joey stared at him, "It's obviously because you put my clothes on backwards!"

Notz paused, looked at Joey, thoughtful.He moved his fingers, and his fingertips were like a knife, directly tearing off the clothes on his body.

Joey looked dull. Seeing the finger that Notts turned into a golden knife, he was a little scared. He took a few steps back and said in horror: "What are you doing?"

The boy's robe was torn, with several openings, his tears were red, as if he had just cried, and he was looking at him in fear.
