Chapter 828 Pear Fruit Cactus

Even if it wasn't summer, the sun was scorching in Africa today, and the temperature of more than 20 degrees made Gilderoy Lockhart, who was carrying Patricia on his back, walk forward slowly, panting.

Lockhart's well-manicured blond wig and his usual handsome demeanor had disappeared in the run for his life. Beads of sweat covered his bald head, and his eyes were lifeless and frozen Her body moved mechanically, and the little Patricia behind her also lay on Lockhart's back as if she had lost all her strength, staring blankly at the ground.

The clothes on Lockhart and Patricia had already been torn and tattered by bushes and hooks during the previous fight and escape, and the sleeves of Lockhart's jacket had been torn off by him, and he used the tattered sleeves to hold Pat Lisha was fixed on her back.

After a long hike, Lockhart finally saw a scene different from the unchanging scenery of the grassland. The peaks towered in the distance, the passes between the mountains were all over the place, and the canyons were interspersed with dense forests. The mountains were surrounded by clouds and mist. The equatorial snow-capped mountains in the equatorial sun are extremely rare in the equatorial region.

This is the first time that Lockhart has walked such a long distance in one breath, and there is no rest in the middle, not to mention that Patricia is lying on his shoulders all the way, he is exhausted, physical fatigue and mental fatigue The trauma on his body made him exhausted, and he finally walked into the dense forest in the mountains, and put Patricia on his back with trembling arms, and Lockhart collapsed on the ground.

"Will anyone else catch up?" Patricia asked with her chapped lips.

Lockhart took a breath, and a smile appeared on his face, which was scratched with thin bloodstains by 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? Wait We'll be safe up there, there are plenty of wizards there who will help us, and then we can go back to England and find your mother."

Lockhart didn't resist the temptation and let himself rest for a few minutes extravagantly. He used a magic wand to take a few sips of clear spring water for himself and the little girl, and then he dragged his legs and carried Patricia on his back with great difficulty Hurry up, now he is not far from the wasteland he just fled from, thinking of those Death Eaters who appear from time to time and are searching for them, he doesn't have the confidence to escape from the search team again.

Sweaty clothes stuck to Lockhart's body, he felt his legs getting heavier, the weather seemed to be getting hotter, and what was even more tragic was that Lockhart heard himself and Patricia's belly There was a rumbling sound inside.

"When we see our mother let her make chowder for us..." Hunger made Patricia miss her mother, clutching Lockhart's clothes tightly. Weeping quietly behind the witch's back—then, the little girl twitched and trembled a few times in Lockhart's arms. After performing the Cruciatus Curse, the sequelae were left behind. 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 sweet flavors include cranberry, banana, lemon, chocolate, etc.; the salty flavors are mainly ham and cheese , a bit like an Italian pie...and finally served with a cup of black tea with jam..."

The more and more hungry Lockhart looked at the surrounding environment, trying to find a reliable source of food, until he heard the sound of fluttering wings from above his head, he raised his head and found a few birds in the trees. Chirping and flying around.

This bird has a corolla-like crest 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. A very foul and strange smell.

Even though the smell reminded Lockhart of the mixture of graves, rotting tree holes and bird droppings, hunger also made him itch after seeing these birds. The bald wizard carefully drew out his wand and pointed at the bird closest to him : "Dizzy."

But it's a pity that although he cast the magic accurately this time,

But it was difficult for him to aim at such a small target. The bird flew away without a trace, and all the other birds flew up because of the sudden fright, and uttered a cry that was almost like a trumpet, flying in the sky. quickly swept away to other places.

In desperation, Lockhart kept shooting spells at them with his wand, but as the distance between the birds grew wider and wider, the last one was not shot down. He said to Patricia with his head down and regretful. : "I'm so sorry, Patricia. Like I told you yesterday, I'm not really good at magic..."

At this time, when Lockhart talked about his real level of magic spells, his eyes were calm. He no longer used the pretentious and glib tongue when speaking in disguise, and actually told the little girl about his shortcomings—on the way to escape. , He has already frankly explained to Patricia that he has nothing but the forgetting spell, obtained other people's experience through the forgetting spell, and then compiled a story with himself as the protagonist to deceive readers in exchange for fame and fortune. Touching his bald head, he told Patricia that his biggest dream is to sell his own line of hair care products.

"This is a hoopoe. Mom took me to the park to have a look." Little Patricia put her chin on Lockhart's shoulder. Said the wizard, "They are sloppy birds, never clean up the bird droppings in their nests, and I don't eat them."

"When I arrived in Ouagadou, I heard that the local wizard would entertain guests with a banana rice called "Matoki". Tossed with red bean juice, peanut butter, braised chicken nuggets, beef curry. It's the main course of Uganda's state banquet." Lockhart stroked Patricia's hair, "These birds are definitely not as good as Matoki, we don't eat them It, let's go."

"Well! We don't eat big stinky birds." Patricia wiped the sweat off Lockhart's forehead with her own hand, "Lockhart, you are the best, you defeated another villain today!"

This compliment made Lockhart smile, and he raised his eyebrows proudly—he fled with Patricia all the way, and he did use the forgetting spell and the healing spell to defeat several people who came to hunt them down. As a Death Eater, he felt that after running away for his life, and through the tempering of life and death, his spell level had indeed improved a little.

Afterwards, the hunger and exhaustion caused the old and young to walk in silence, until Lockhart suddenly strode forward with an excited tone, "Aha, little Patricia, there are fruits growing on the cactus! Look, How prolific it grows!"

Not far from them is a large pile of cacti, with some oval to pear-shaped berries on the top.

Although Lockhart trotted closer, Patricia behind him couldn't help stretching out her small hand to pick it off, but Lockhart quickly pulled it back, "Don't move, let me use the wand, it's said that there is a year in the Forbidden Forest Professor Sprout used something like that when the wild boars were infested, using them as natural fences."

In order to avoid mistakes in his own spell, Lockhart carefully put Patricia down and took a few steps away from her, then cast the Flying Charm on those small fruits, and then fled to the side with a scream—— Together with those cacti with thick thorns, they also flew towards the place where he was standing just now.

Lockhart, who nimbly escaped the catastrophe, went back to the distance. There were several piles of cracked cacti and some prickly pear-shaped fruits on the ground. He leaned over and pierced one with his own branch, and carefully pierced it with his wand. Some thick outer skins are observed - inside are green fruits like small grapes, which seem to be full of water and attractive in color.

"It looks a bit like a kiwi fruit?" Lockhart, urged by his growling stomach, picked up a small piece of fruit with his wand and put it into his mouth. A bitter taste came along with the juice. His mouth exploded—but the rich juice made him feel like he was alive again in an instant.

Seeing Lockhart's appearance, Patricia swallowed unconsciously, but it seemed that Lockhart didn't intend to give it to Patricia at all, so he dug another piece of fruit and put it in his own In the mouth, he swallowed heavily.

The little girl was hungry, so she couldn't help stretching out her small hand to touch the fruit on one side, before even touching the burrs, Lockhart strung her target onto the wand.

Gilderoy said vaguely: "Little Patricia, when I finish eating, you are eating on the road when we are on the road."

Patricia's tears were rolling in her eyes, but she nodded obediently when she heard the words. She thought that Lockhart thought she was eating slowly, so she just watched Lockhart swallowing big mouthfuls and swallowing. Just eat the whole fruit that is not too big.

Lockhart was not as fastidious as he used to be, he just wiped his mouth carelessly with the back of his hand, put the remaining fruit in his pocket, bent over to pick up little Patricia on his back, and continued on the road.

Little Patricia, who was hungry and aggrieved, lay on Lockhart's back. Seeing that Lockhart didn't give him any intention, she couldn't help whimpering, and covered her stomach that was throbbing with hunger with her little hand, but Gildero Walking non-stop in the forest as if you didn't hear it. Hunger in her stomach and affected by the Cruciatus Curse, Patricia's tiny body trembled even more.

After walking for a long time, when little Patricia began to fall asleep on Gildero's back, Gildero woke her up by shaking her, and broke all the remaining fruits and let her carry them around: " Little Patricia, eat quickly, it's all yours, it's a bit bitter but it doesn't seem to be a big problem, I'll turn water out and rinse your mouth after eating." Gilderoy Lockhart's herbal medicine class was not good , he couldn't judge whether the fruit called prickly pear cactus that he ate just now was poisonous, so he had no choice but to use a stupid method to try it himself.
