"Who are you?" In the month since she moved in, she’d obediently stayed in bed recuperating, following Auntie Lian’s orders. As a result, she really didn’t know any of the villagers.
The boy stared at Feng Wu with big curious eyes.
"My name’s Tian Ke. My dad was the best hunter in the village until he died. When he died my uncle took over our house and I was forced to leave. So I came here and have been living in the house for the past few months, relying on the villagers for some things... I remember now! You moved to our village last month. I saw you moving in.”
“Uh, sorry. Don’t recognize you.”
Tian Ke was just about to speak again when a loud wail broke out, scaring the bejesus out of him. “Huh? Where? Where is that sound coming from? That’s a baby’s cry!” Tian Ke could feel his heart thumping. He knew the villagers said the house was haunted, but he’d been staying there for so long now and nothing bad had happened. To think there was really a baby ghost! They were the worst kind!
"Ah! Little bun." Feng Wu heard the baby wailing and immediately felt around behind her only to encounter a wet diaper. She brought little bun into her arms, but that was far as she got.
Through the faint moonlight shining from above Tian Ke was able to see the outline of the baby in Feng Wu’s arms. Ah, thank goodness it wasn’t a ghost!
"Your younger little brother? I don’t remember seeing a little baby when you moved in.” Tian Ke scratched his head thinking that maybe he remembered wrong.
"No. This kid is mine.” Feng Wu had no doubts. This little guy was definitely her son and not her brother.
"Eh?! He’s yours? For real?!" How old is she, and to actually have a kid? Tian Ke couldn’t understand.
“Yeah. Mine.” Feng Wu nodded emphatically.
Feng Wu stared at the diaper. She’d never actually changed a diaper before. It was Auntie Lian who managed everything, from the cooking, housekeeping, to taking care of both her and little bun.
“What are you doing? Hurry and change his diaper. Otherwise it’ll get really stinky.”
Yeah, there was definitely a smell. Although the diaper wasn’t heavy, the smell certainly was.
“No.” Now that there was no more Auntie Lian to handle matters, Feng Wu was at a loss. She could only look to Tian Ke for help.
“Uh…” Tian Ke looked at her big shiny eyes. “Here let me give it a try.” This sister… this is her baby and she doesn’t even know how to change its diaper?
Fortunately, Tian Ke had experience changing diapers from back when he helped take care of uncle’s children. Everything proceeded smoothly and Feng Wu only needed to dispose of the soiled diaper. She shrugged and quickly tossed it into her ring.
"You know magic?!” Now it was his eyes that sparkled like huge shining saucers. Tian Ke was amazed to see the diaper disappear.
There wasn’t a single person on the continent that didn’t want to learn magic. Especially so because magicians enjoyed a great deal of prestige. They were very rare as the number of people with the qualifications were just too few! On top of that, those with qualifications were further divided into categories distinguishing between levels in quality. Although people had the potential, the potential wasn’t always good. Don’t those guys normally live in the big cities? Why is she here? Tian Ke couldn’t help but be really excited by this development. This was a real live magician in front of him!
“No, I’m not a magician.” Feng Wu was very forthright. The current Feng Wu was definitely not a magician and neither was the original owner of the body. Feng Wu had heard from Auntie Lian that this body had no qualifications to practice magic or wield the sword. The best way to describe her would be: a waste of a human being. Of course Auntie Lian didn’t say it exactly like that. She was much more tactful. Everyone else was not quite so generous though.
“Then how’d you get rid of the diapers?” Although Tian Ke’s excitement had dimmed he was still very curious.
"Dimensional tool." Feng Wu only answered with these two words. Xiaoyue had warned her to be careful about revealing the storage ring to other people since they could become envious and do her harm. Aside from the items she took before leaving the village, there were also all the things from the previous owner of the ring. Although she didn’t have the chance to properly look at everything yet, she knew there was a great deal of inventory to go through. Her storage ring not only had a much larger capacity, it also had a much longer material life expectancy than a dimensional tool, lasting anywhere from ten to twenty years. Because of this she wasn’t too concerned about it failing anytime soon.
Tian Ke saw people in town with dimensional tools before so he was aware of how they worked. These kinds of things could be found all over the continent. The cheapest ones could be had for about ten coins and usually had a s.p.a.ce of about five cubic meters. They normally only lasted for a year and were easily created by magicians.
Fearing that too much noise might attract their attackers the two stopped whispering. After another half an hour the sounds from outside dimmed to a low point. It sounded like the ma.s.sacre was almost over. One robber did enter the house, but left after finding it empty. They could tell the robber had torched the house on his way out because they could see the reflections of the flames in the surrounding sky. Other than that, they didn’t have any close encounters. Eventually they were unable to make out any sounds from outside the well at all. It was quiet, but they didn’t dare leave just yet. Over time the adrenaline in their bodies subsided and they both collapsed upon realizing they were now safe. The sound of their stomach rumbling made a distinct sound in the well though. Feng Wu touched her tummy and drooled thinking about all the delicious food Auntie Lian used to cook for her.
