Vol 2 Chapter 828: Pear Cactus

Even if it was not in the summer, Africa was scorching the sun today, and the temperature of more than 20 degrees made Guidro Lockhart, who was carrying Patricia on his back, walked forward slowly and breathlessly.
The well-kept blond wig on Lockhart's head has disappeared from his usual handsome posture in the fleeing, sweat is all over his bald head, his eyes are indifferent and stiff. Her body moved mechanically, and the little Patricia behind her was lying on Lockhart's back as if she had lost all her strength, staring at the ground blankly.
Lockhart and Patricia’s clothes had been torn by bushes and hooks during the previous fight and escape. The sleeves of Lockhart’s shirt had been torn off by him. He used the torn sleeves to pull Pat. Lixia was fixed on her back.
After a long hike, Lockhart can finally see a scene that is different from the unchanging scenery of the grassland. In the distance there are peaks towering, the mountains are full of passes, the canyons are interspersed with forests-the mountains are surrounded by clouds and mist. This is a top of the head. The equatorial snow-capped mountains in the scorching sun are extremely rare in the equatorial region.
This is the first time Lockhart has walked such a long way in one breath, and did not rest in the middle. What's more, Patricia was all lying on his shoulders. He was exhausted, physically fatigued and mentally exhausted. The trauma made him exhausted, he finally walked into the mountain forest, and his trembling arm lowered Patricia on his back, and Lockhart collapsed to the ground.
"Will anyone catch up?" Patricia asked, opening her chapped lips.
Lockhart took a breath and pulled a smile on his face with fine blood scars from the leaves: "Yes, so we have to continue walking now. Don't be afraid. Have you seen the top of the snowy mountain in the distance? We will be safe when we climb up. There are many wizards there who will help us, and then we can go back to England to find your mother."
Lockhart did not resist the temptation and allowed himself to rest extravagantly for a few more minutes. He used a magic wand to pour a few mouthfuls of clear spring water on himself and the little girl, and then he dragged two legs and carried Patricia on his back. On the way, now not far from the wasteland that he had just escaped from, thinking of the Death Eaters who appeared from time to time and searching for them, he had no confidence to escape under the raid team again.
Sweaty clothes stuck to Lockhart's body. He felt his legs heavier and heavier and the weather seemed to be getting hotter and hotter, and even more tragically, Lockhart heard him and Patricia belly There was a roar inside.
"When we see our mother let her make chowder for us..." Hunger made Patricia miss her mother, clutching Lockhart's clothes tightly. She sensibly did not ask each other for food, but was just a bald man. The witch was sobbing quietly from behind—then, the little girl twitched and shook a few times in Lockhart’s arms. This was not because of emotions, but because of her emotions, the little girl was caught by Dorfin in the dark cave a few days ago. After casting the Heart Drilling spell, she was left with sequelae. In the past few days, she could not sleep peacefully and was often awakened by nightmares.
"When we go back, I will fill your stomach with scones..." Lockhart said yearningly, "The classic sweetness includes cranberry, banana, lemon, chocolate, etc.; the salty flavor is mainly added with ham and cheese. It’s kind of like Italian pie...Finally with a cup of black tea with jam..."
The more hungry Lockhart was, he looked at the surrounding environment, trying to find a reliable source of food, until he heard the sound of flapping wings from above his head. He raised his head and found several birds among the trees. Fly around twittering.
This bird has a corolla-like crown on its head, which can be opened and closed like a folding fan. There are black and white orange patterns on the body and wings. The overall look is very beautiful-but Lockhart got a little closer and found that they were exuding A very smelly and weird smell.
Even if the smell reminded Lockhart of the mixed smell of tombs, rotting tree holes and bird droppings, his hunger made his heart itch after seeing these birds. The bald wizard carefully pulled out his wand and pointed it at the bird closest to him. : "Fainted."
But unfortunately, although he cast the magic accurately this time, it was difficult to aim at such a small target with his quasi-head. The bird flew away and disappeared. The other birds all flew due to the sudden shock. He started to scream like a horn, and quickly swept to other places in the sky.
Lockhart was anxious and used his magic wand to cast spells at them, but as the distance between the birds got wider and wider, the last one was not shot down. He bowed his head and said regretfully to Patricia. : "I'm so sorry, Patricia. As I told you yesterday, I am actually not proficient in magic..."
When Lockhart talked about the level of his true spell at this time, his eyes were calm. Now he no longer speaks with the pretense and glib tongue that he used to disguise, and he is really facing the little girl to tell his shortcomings-before on the way to escape , He has made himself useless except for the Forgotten Mantra, gains the experience of others through the Forgotten Mantra, and then composes a story about himself as the protagonist to deceive readers in exchange for fame and wealth. He frankly explained to Patricia, he even Touched his bald head and told Patricia that his biggest dream was to sell hair care products that belonged to his series.
"This is Hoopoe. Mom took me to the park to see it." Little Patrie put her chin on Lockhart's shoulder. Although Lockhart swallowed while casting a spell just now, she deliberately responded. The wizard said, "They are sloppy birds. They never clean up the bird droppings in their nests. I don't eat them."
"Waiting for Vagado, I heard that local wizards would entertain guests with a banana rice called "Matoki". It is said to be made from an unsweet banana variety, peeled and pounded into a puree, and steamed. Mix it with red bean juice, peanut sauce, braised chicken nuggets, and beef curry. It is the main dish of Uganda's national banquet." Lockhart touched Patricia's hair, "These birds are definitely not as delicious as Matoki. We don't eat them. It, let's go."
"Yeah! We don't eat big stinky birds." Patricia wiped the sweat from Lockhart's forehead with her hands. "Lockhart, you are the best, and you beat another bad guy today!"
This compliment made Lockhart smile, and he raised his eyebrows triumphantly-he took Patricia on the run, and indeed used the Forgotten Curse and Healing Curse to defeat a few to hunt them down. Death Eater, he felt that he was fleeing after this, and through the tempering of life and death, the level of the spell has indeed improved a little.
Afterwards, hunger and sleepiness caused the young and the young to walk in silence, knowing that Lockhart suddenly strode forward, with excitement, "Aha, little Patricia, there are fruits growing on the cactus! Look, How rich it grows!"
Not far from them, there were a lot of cacti, and some elliptical to pear-shaped berries for the elderly at the top.
Although Lockhart trot closer, Patricia behind him couldn't help but stretch out her little hand and wanted to pick it, but Lockhart hurriedly pulled it back, "Don't move, let me use a magic wand. Speaking of a year forbidden forest When wild boars were flooding, Professor Sprout used similar things and used them as natural fences."
In order to prevent his own spell from going wrong, Lockhart carefully put down Patricia and took a few steps away from her carefully, then performed a flying curse on the little fruits, and then screamed and fled to one side. Together with the cacti with thick thorns, they flew towards the place where he stood just now.
Lockhart, who had escaped flexibly, returned to the distance. There were piles of cracked cacti and prickly pear-shaped fruits on the ground. He leaned over and pierced one with his own branch, and then carefully pierced it with a magic wand. Some thick skins can be observed-inside is a green grape-like fruit, which looks full of moisture and attractive color.
"It looks a bit like a kiwi fruit?" Lockhart was urged by his grunting stomach, and used his magic wand to pick up a small piece of fruit and put it into his mouth. A bitter taste followed the juice. His mouth burst open--but the rich juice made him feel like he was alive again in an instant.
Patricia looked at Lockhart's appearance and swallowed unconsciously, but it seemed that Lockhart had no intention of giving Patricia. Seeing that he dug another piece of flesh~EbookFREE.me ~ Put it in your own mouth, swallowing.
The little girl was hungry, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand and touched the fruit on one side. Lockhart took the first step to string her target on the magic wand without even touching the burr on it.
Guidro said vaguely: "Little Patricia, wait until I finish eating, and you are eating on the road after we hit the road."
Patricia’s tears were in her eyes, and she nodded obediently. She thought Lockhart thought she was slow to eat, so she just watched Lockhart swallowing in twos and threes. Just ate the whole small fruit.
Lockhart was not like he was preoccupied before. He just wiped his mouth with the back of his hand indiscriminately. He took the remaining fruits into his pocket, leaned over and carried little Patricia, and continued on the road.
Little Patricia, who was hungry and aggrieved in her abdomen, lay on Lockhart’s back. Seeing Lockhart didn’t give him any intentions, she couldn’t help whimpering. Her little hand covered her aching belly, but Guidro Walking in the woods as if I hadn't heard them. Being hungry in the abdomen and being affected by the Heart Drilling Curse, Patricia's small body shakes even more at this time.
After walking for a long time, just when little Patricia started to fall asleep on Guidro's back, Guidro woke her up, broke the remaining fruits and let her carry them: " Little Patricia, eat it quickly, it's all yours. It's a bit bitter but it doesn't seem to be a big problem. After eating, I will turn into water and come out to rinse your mouth." Guidro Lockhart did not perform well in the herbal medicine class. He couldn't judge by his knowledge whether the fruit that was actually called the pear cactus was poisonous, so he had to try a stupid method and tried it on his own, and he was relieved to let the little girl use it after he found no problem.
