Chapter 1652 [Fufu's Bizarre Adventure 44] Fairy Tale

Finally, Fu Fu finally got her wish and joined the investigation team.

This team does not have many members, but each of them is an irreplaceable elite, not to mention the three-member cross-team that serves as the core combat force.

The person in charge of piloting the airship is Milch, the all-round poster girl who also serves as a navigator and other jobs.

Professor Isa, an authority on animal behavior from Longli Academy, is responsible for providing academic support.

Scar, an old hunter supported by the Grombaum Guild, is an experienced guide for exploring dense forests.

There is also the networking pendant Fu Fu, and the mascot Fish Chop.

Mixing with these people, Fu Fu felt that her quality as a person had improved.

The small investigation team acted very efficiently. After quickly completing a series of necessary preparations, the airship they were riding detached from the aerial platform and accelerated towards the southeast.

After a brief moment of excitement, Fu Fu found herself once again in a state of doing nothing. She could only lie on the side of the boat, staring in a daze at the endless sea of ​​dark green trees below.

Just then, a figure came up to her side, and Fu Fu subconsciously turned her head to look.

She was surprised by the identity of the visitor. Or rather, if she were to rank the "people with the least connection to her" on this airship, this person would undoubtedly be number one.

"Mr. Siska? Hello?" She greeted him a little awkwardly.

The old hunter's face was pierced by a twisted scar, which made him look quite ferocious, or to be more precise, a little scary.

However, as soon as the other party opened his mouth, Fu Fu discovered that he was not a fierce person, but rather a kind and even lively person.

"Don't be afraid, little one. Even though I look scary, I'm actually a good person." The old hunter winked at her.

Fu Fu couldn't help but blurt out, "This is the first time I've seen someone claim to be a good person right away."

"Hahaha, is that so?" The old hunter laughed. "Actually, little girl, I have something I want to ask you."

Hearing the other party say this, Fu Fu became a little alert.

I am just an unknown person. What the other party comes to me to inquire about is either about Master Feng Ying or about the family chamber of commerce. I must not be too open-mouthed.

"I just heard you say that you are from the Sterling family of the Sterling Chamber of Commerce?" the old hunter spoke again.

Fu Fu thought to herself: As expected.

The experienced Scar could of course see Fu Fu's vigilance. He spread his hands helplessly and took a half step back, "I don't want to pry into business secrets or anything, I just want to ask you about someone.

Do you know the eldest son of the Sterling family? "

"Young Master?" Fu Fu's face was full of question marks.

The Sterling family is not large, and my aunt Jessica has not married or had children, so I should be the only one in the younger generation.

Where did this young master come from? Could it be that someone is using his name to cheat people?

"I don't know him. I've never heard of any young master. I only know that the master's family has a young lady."

Scar looked speechlessly at Fu Fu who was trying to hide her identity.

You just said that mobilizing the Chamber of Commerce’s resources is just a matter of your words, so who else could that lady be if not you?

etc.

Scar suddenly came to his senses. "My fault, my fault. It wasn't now. It was almost 20 years ago."

"Uh." Fu Fu was stunned for a moment when she heard that.

Twenty years ago, the eldest son of the Sterling family, that should refer to his father?

The shrewd old man once again saw some clues from Fu Fu's expression. After calculating, he found that the ages seemed to match. After looking at Fu Fu carefully for a few times, he suddenly spoke.

"Is that your father?"

Fu Fu opened her mouth subconsciously, then quickly closed it.

"Really?" The old hunter scratched his gray stubble and muttered.

Fu Fu puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

seen through

Sensing Fu Fu's dissatisfaction and hostility, the old hunter raised his hands in surrender and said, "Sorry, sorry, I don't mean to pry into your family affairs or anything like that.

But let me be frank, we have a friend who had some connection with the 'eldest son of the Sterling family', but we have lost contact with him for many years.

I heard you were from the Sterling family, so I wanted to ask you about it."

Any connection with your dad?

Hearing the other party say this, Fu Fu instantly became interested.

"Is your friend a man or a woman?" Fu Fu asked tentatively.

".Female." Scar seemed to be trying to find an adjective. "She was a very, very cute and very special girl. She was probably about the same age as you are now, about 15 or 16?"

Twenty years ago, there was a super cute girl who had a relationship with my dad!

She is at least ten years younger than her mom!

Niema seemed to have heard something very extraordinary!

Scar hesitated for a few seconds and continued, "Her name is Xixi. Excuse me, is she your mother?"

"No!" Fu Fu shook her head decisively.

Scar's expression turned visibly ugly.

He whispered to himself in a voice that only he could hear, "Big Sister is right, we really can't trust the sweet words of those rich people!"

"But... Xixi, I know this name." Fu Fu tilted her head and thought, "Grandma told me that I have an aunt named Xixi who lives in the New World.

She is my father's adopted sister and my mother's disciple."

Now it was Scar's turn to be stunned.

Aunt? Brother and sister? So they misunderstood?

We did learn from the letters back then that Xixi had gone to the New World, and the two sides naturally lost contact due to the long distance between them.

A few years later, I heard that all the members of the New World Survey Team had returned. Sister Ota tried to send letters several more times, but received no reply.

They were also worried that something might have happened to the snake in the New World.

So they settled there?

After a brief silence, the old hunter showed a relieved smile on his face, "That's it, it's enough to know that she is still fine."

The big sister and the guy who left early would be very happy if they knew about this.

The old hunter was relieved, but Fu Fu's burning curiosity had not been satisfied.

She grabbed Scar's arm as he was about to leave and asked, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave, tell me more!

What happened back then? What’s the connection between Auntie Xixi and my dad? "

"."

Scar certainly knew what the little girl wanted to hear, but to be honest, they didn't know much.

In fact, the time they actually spent with蛺蛺 was only three or four days, but there are always some people and things that will be remembered for a lifetime, even if the time they are together is very short.

"That is a story that seems to only appear in fairy tale picture books." The old hunter leaned back on the side of the boat.

"A young and energetic young man from a wealthy family angered the mountain god deep in the forest and was about to die when he was saved by an aboriginal girl.

The rich boy promised to take her to see the outside world, and the ignorant aboriginal girl embarked on a journey with an unknown future.

".Wow, so artistic?"

A trace of embarrassment emerged on the old hunter's face. "It's probably like this. A few years ago, Sister Ota got drunk and told this story in a tavern.

I don't know how it became popular later. A poet wrote a poem, an artist drew a picture book, and even a playwright turned it into a stage play. It's a very popular story here.

As a result, I can’t even remember what the original version that the hero said was supposed to be. ”

"Uh-huh?!!"

Fu Fu blinked her eyes frantically, and some dark thoughts emerged in her mind.

She decided to buy more poetry and picture books and send them to her father.

The two were so engrossed in their conversation that a scholar from the Dragon Calendar Academy who passed by and overheard turned around curiously and asked, "Are you talking about the fairy tales here?

Extracting intelligence from folklore, myths and fairy tales is indeed a common method. The 'mountain god in the depths of the sea of ​​trees' might be the 'mountain slapping god' we are looking for?"

".It's not such a coincidence, is it?"
