Chapter 22 Northward to the Central Plains
Today is the third year that Alan has come to the world, the beginning of autumn, and Yuan Lai has also gone north to Zhongzhou for almost a year, but there is still no news.
Although Alan and Tu Fengnian were very worried, they were helpless and could only wait silently. Fortunately, there is also Deng Chi, and the three of them have fun together, but they don't feel difficult.
But for Asir, life is not easy.
Asir had already made peace with his grandmother at this time, but this did not mean that they could put their hearts at ease, and they had to go to Merjing in Zhongzhou to find their father and mother.
"Oh~ my poor Essie, believe me, Xian Jun will be fine. And Lowell is with her, and I believe she will be cured soon. River Green Leaf looked at the dusty Asir distressedly, but she couldn't give Asir time to rest, they had to rush to Merking non-stop.
Asir smiled reluctantly, but anyone with a discerning eye could see her haggardness. It took nearly a year to travel millions of miles, but she had just met her grandmother and returned to her hometown, and she had to set off again. Everything was done so that she could see her mother for the last time, and according to the news from her father, her situation was not optimistic.
Elves are a kind of emotional life, and what they care about most is emotional bonding, friendship, love, and family affection, each more important than the other. Later, the Confucian doctrine of filial piety was introduced to the elves, and the elves greatly agreed, and many elves studied the Confucian classics for this purpose.
Therefore, filial piety is the most important link in the elf's heart, and she is certainly not afraid of hardships for the sake of her mother.
"I'm not tired, Grandma River. But my mother is battling the disease, and I must rush to her side as soon as possible to cheer her on. In fact, Aisiel felt that her mother's serious illness should not be so serious, after all, it was still too far away for her, and she never thought that her loved ones would die of illness.
"Mother must be fine, with the blessing of Mother Nature, and so many powerful doctors, they will definitely be able to cure Mother's illness. Asir prayed secretly, remembering Alain's face again.
During this time, whenever she felt tired, she would take out Alain's portrait, and her mood would gradually calm down.
When the longing is the strongest, the sorrow is far away, and only the purest love and longing remain.
Asir and River Green Leaf embark on a journey to visit their mother, and as for Anna, she stays at the castle in Ymir to look after River's flowers, flower demons, and flower spirits.
At this time, Alain, who was millions of miles away, was practicing magic, and he first cast a freezing spell to condense a slightly larger ice block, and then cast an ice spike technique, but the ice spike changed and became a sharp ice blade.
Alain slowly carved, this ice cube soon had some faces, but Alain did not continue to carve the face, but focused on the eyes, he carefully carved the eyebrows, eyelashes and eyelids, and finally the center of the eyeballs, the lines slowly unscrewed, the pupils appeared, as if alive. However, under the scorching sun, these beautiful eyes slowly melted, and the drops of water flowed down the skate blades onto Alain's hands, which was cold.
Alain carved and played when he had nothing to do, and the reason why he only carved his eyes was to reproduce Aisier's moving eyes, and secondly, because the sun was too bright, and he didn't want to see Aisir's statue melt in front of his eyes.
Ever since he had discovered half a year ago, carving made his mana grow faster. That's why he started carving everything he had to do.
Tu Fengnian is boxing, but his state today is very wrong, he can't walk or punch for half a day after setting up a shelf, let alone gather momentum.
Alan knew what was wrong with him, as early as three months ago, Tu Fengnian was worried about Yuan Lai's delay in returning, and he didn't bring back a single piece of news, God knows if something happened to him.
"Alas!" Tu Fengnian was really worried, Yuan Lai had only been with him for more than a month, but he had the grace of preaching and teaching, and he was also the most admired scholar, which made him worried.
Alan quietly watched as Tu Fengnian put away his fist and turned to squatting on the horse. He also persuaded Tu Fengnian, the two of them are still young, even after a year of hard work, they have a little ability, but they are also some three-legged cat kung fu, and they can't be on the stage. The two of them still have this self-knowledge, but as long as they are careful, they can go out and walk.
It's just something that Yuan Lai can't do, what's the use of the two of them.
"Brother Alan, Brother Tu, I'm here to play with you again. Deng Chi jumped and jumped, she is nine years old this year, and she can already recite the three-character scripture.
Tu Fengnian's face softened slightly, and he was not so worried. Alan smiled and said: "It's Xiao Chi, do you have any books you want to read?" This year, Deng Chi has completely fallen in love with reading, and whenever she wants to read a book, she will first come to Alan and Tu Fengnian, and learn all the words of this book while playing and learning in the three of them, and then go back to read carefully.
Not long ago, she finished reading the first history of elves, and she came to find the second one.
Among the books in Yuan Lai's collection, the most are history books, which include many histories of the Eastern and Western Continents. The history of elves is undoubtedly one of the most literary and artistic ones. Because of the nature of the elves, their history is also full of wonderful and touching stories.
Alan quickly found out the second elven history, and Deng Chi was about to open it at this time, but suddenly found that the two of them seemed to have something on their minds, and suddenly felt that they couldn't be so unconscionable, so they couldn't help but open the book and asked, "Brother Alan, do you have any troubles?" I have to admit that children's perception is keen, and they can easily find something wrong.
Alan and Tu Fengnian glanced at each other, and saw the entanglement in each other's hearts, so they didn't hide it, and told Deng Chi about worrying about Yuan Lai. Deng Chi almost blurted out: "Why do you want to do so much, since you're worried, go and see." After saying that, Jiu couldn't wait to turn the pages of the book and read it intently.
Alan and Tu Fengnian looked at each other again, but this time they saw each other's firmness.
yes, why do you want to do so much, if you want to go and see it. It doesn't matter if it can come in handy or not, as long as you go, isn't it enough?
The two of them suddenly made up their minds - to go to Zhongzhou!
But I still have to wait until Deng Chi finishes reading this book.
Time flies quickly, and Alain and Tu Fengnian are no longer entangled in the question of whether to go or not. The two of them first counted the money and things, and each settled a good place, and the money left by Yuan Lai was enough, if he hadn't given Deng Chi's parents some, the two of them would really not be bad for money.
The entanglement problem is solved, and the next step is the route problem.
First of all, they are located in the west, the southernmost part of the Eastern Continent, in the west of Yuzhou, and above are the three states of the South China Sea - Luzhou, Huaizhou, and Mengzhou. The entire Nanhai country is covered by the Shu River basin, so they should first travel to Luzhou by water, which is conservatively estimated to take about ten days. Then walk over Nanheng Mountain and arrive at Zhizhou. Then look for a land route, come to the Yuelu Mountains, and work harder to reach Zhongzhou.
The two made plans, and finally it was time to set off.
Deng Chi didn't expect that his unintentional words would make the two big brothers who were very good to him leave, and he was a little annoyed in his heart. But as a friend, she still offered her blessings to them.
I hope that one day I can travel with you. Deng Chi thought silently.
Alan and Tu Fengnian came to the nearest ferry, got on the boat, and did not look back.
