Chapter 914: Be grateful
Because she is mute, she has a low self-esteem, never takes the initiative to communicate with others, and has always been grateful and sincere to those who take the initiative to help her and make friends with her.
She is very content, her favorite thing to do is to read, she likes to be immersed in the feeling of books, books are like a door, opening books is like walking into a wonderful world, she is hungry and thirsty to dabble in a wide range of books, happy and tireless.
By the way, she also raised a lot of cute plants, and she gave them a cute name for each plant.
This kind of life came to an abrupt end after she was hit by a car because she was saving a child.
It was her 25th birthday.
When she opened her eyes again, here she was, and here she was, as an infant baby, and to her dear grandfather.
"Peach girl, you haven't slept yet?" a voice came from a distance.
Chi Taotao retracted her thoughts, turned her head, and saw a big man with a sturdy figure and a dark complexion walking over here, Xu had just finished changing the guard, and it was his turn to be on duty, seeing that he was not sleeping, he came over to ask.
"Brother Li, I've been asleep for a while and just woke up. Chi Taotao sat up and said.
"You have a good rest, you have to recuperate, and you have to hurry tomorrow. Li Tielong said as he added some fuel to the fire next to Chi Taotao.
"Okay, I'll sleep in a while, thank you, Brother Li. Chi Tao Tao replied.
He clapped his hands and stood up, looked at the dark and dreary earth, smiled at Chi Taotao, and then turned around and walked back.
Chi Taotao lay down again, her fingers unconsciously picking at the ground under her hands, her eyes looking at the sky with few stars, and suddenly she wanted to see her grandfather.
I don't know what Grandpa is doing now, do you miss her?
Thinking of her grandfather's worries and uneasy repeated advice before leaving, Chi Taotao's heart couldn't help but warm, her dear grandfather.
The night was quiet again, a few fires burning spontaneously, and occasionally a few dreams and faint snoring.
Chi Taotao looked at a few stars in the night sky, and slowly fell asleep.
The next day, before the sky was fully bright, Chi Taotao was woken up by Kuang Xiaoru.
She yawned and sat up rubbing her eyes.
"Sister Taotao, hurry up and pack up, we'll be leaving soon. Kuang Xiaoru stuffed a piece of hot bread to her.
Chi Taotao glanced around, some were eating, some were tidying up, and she hadn't gotten up yet.
"Okay, thank you, Sister Xiaoru, I'll get up and clean up right away. Chi Taotao thanked her sweetly, quickly solved the cake in her hand in three or two bites, and immediately got up from the bed.
Kuang Xiaoru woke her up and left.
After a full night's rest, everyone was full of energy again, greeting each other, joking, and tidying up their things without messing around.
Because it was an open-air rest and no tent was set up, Chi Taotao got up, folded the thin quilt, rolled up the cushion under herself, sorted out her bags, and threw them into her storage space.
She washed her face simply and quickly, took out her small kettle from the space, and took a little hot water that was boiled and was not so hot, and the water flowed from her mouth through her throat to her stomach and rushed to her internal organs.
The bonfire, which had been lit overnight, was extinguished by the team and sprinkled with a thin layer of soil to prevent a fire, and the discarded waste was also destroyed and buried deeply.
In less than a stick of incense, all the members packed up, sat on their respective beasts, and continued to run forward under the order of the head of the regiment, facing the rising red sun.
After continuing to run for another two days, the group finally came to the boundary of the Hundred Flowers Valley.
Baihua Valley is a gourd-shaped deep valley, the exit is narrow, about one meter wide, on both sides are high into the sky into the dangerous mountains, extremely difficult to climb, people after entering, if they want to come out, can only follow the route when they come in, this gourd mouth shaped place, is both an import and an exit.
At this time, everyone stood here at the mouth of the valley.
Chi Taotao jumped off from Xiaoxue with the help of Sanniang, she touched the white wolf's head, and her eyes looked towards the valley mouth of the Hundred Flowers Valley.
Standing at the mouth of the valley and looking inside, all she saw was pitch black.
This passage connecting the Valley of Flowers with the outside world is too long, and it has a curvature, and there are steep mountains on both sides of the passage, so if you look inside, the sun will not shine in.
"Sanniang, when are we going in?" Chi Taotao glanced at Taniguchi a few times, and found that she couldn't see anything, so she shifted her gaze.
Sanniang was holding a small basin to feed her tamed beast Xiaoxue, and when she heard Chi Taotao's inquiry, she smoothed the white hair on Xiaoxue's head, and said with a smile: "I guess we won't be able to enter the valley today, and our friendly army hasn't arrived yet." ”
"Friendly troops?" Chi Momo repeated, she hadn't heard of any friendly troops before she came.
Sanniang smiled mysteriously at her: "When they come, you will know." ”
Chi Taotao shrugged her shoulders, and she also approached Xiaoxue and began to smooth the white wolf's hair.
It didn't take long for another pair of centaurs to gallop in.
"Yo, Peach Girl, we're meeting again. ”
As soon as Shen Wusha's beast tamer stopped in front of Chi Taotao, Chi Taotao heard the extremely unbeaten ruffian.
She raised her eyes to look at the man riding on the black wolf, who was sitting there very steadily, looking at her playfully, the short brown hair on his head was a little ridged because of the gallop, like fried hair, and his face was obviously handsome, but the expression on his face made people itch.
After Chi Taotao glanced at him calmly, she turned her head away, and then smoothed Xiaoxue's hair.
Seeing that Chi Taotao ignored him, Shen Wusha shrugged his shoulders and suddenly felt bored, he jumped off the black wolf and began to issue orders to the team members behind.
When the black wolf saw his master leaving, he didn't follow, but hesitated in place with his front paws, and then paced to the comfortable Xiaoxue who was squinting and being smoothed by Chi Taotao.
Chi Taotao's movements suddenly froze, Xiaoxue felt that the movements on Chi Taotao's hand stopped, and rubbed Chi Taotao's head, and made a dependent sound in her mouth, as if urging her.
After these days of getting along day and night, Xiaoxue and Chi Taotao have become acquainted, and they get along very happily with each other.
Chi Taotao came back to her senses and continued to smooth Xiaoxue's hair, her eyes couldn't help but glance at the black wolf lying quietly on the side from time to time.
What's going on? What is this wolf trying to do?
At this time, Sanniang walked back, she was not surprised to see the black wolf, and when she received Chi Taotao's inquiring gaze, she said casually: "That's Xiao Hei, it's a male wolf." ”
Chi Taotao instantly realized, it turned out that the wolf was chasing Xiaoxue, thinking of the name of the black wolf, Chi Taotao couldn't help but be happy again.
Xiaoxue, Xiaohei, are obviously two mighty and domineering wolves, and they were given such down-to-earth names, and the names of these two people are really arbitrary.
Chi Taotao looked at Xiaoxue beside Sanniang, and couldn't help but complain in her heart, it's really fortunate that its name is not Xiaobai.
Looking at the busy appearance of the members of the Black Wolf Regiment, it was obvious that they were also preparing to enter the Valley of Hundred Flowers.
Chi Tao Tao took out a cookie she made herself from the space and sat on the side and nibbled quietly.
Kuang Xiaoru walked over from the side and sat down beside her, she also held a rolled flatbread in her hand and gnawed on it, seeing Chi Taotao looking at the people of the Black Wolf Group, she said: "Sister Taotao, now that our friendly army has also arrived, we will enter the Valley of Hundred Flowers after lunch and rest." ”
Chi Taotao retracted her gaze and looked at Kuang Xiaoru: "Sister Xiaoru, did we take over this mission with the Black Wolf Group?"
Kuang Xiaoru said: "You know, it is very dangerous in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, after entering, the danger is really unpredictable, and the person who issued the task probably also took this into account, so there was no limit to the number of people who could receive the task, so after discussing with the head of the Black Wolf Regiment, we took over this task together." ”
She went on to add, "The more people there are, the less dangerous it is, and the better the chance of picking the moon lotus." ”
Chi Taotao nodded.
Kuang Xiaoru said uneasily: "After we enter the Valley of Hundred Flowers for a while, you remember to follow Brother Chai Feng closely, don't act without authorization, do you know?" Although Brother Chai Feng's level of healer is not as high as yours, he has been doing tasks with the team for so many years, and he is definitely experienced, and you can be safer with him." ”
Chi Taotao nodded cautiously: "I remember, Sister Xiaoru." ”
When entering the Valley of Hundred Flowers, all the members of the two regiments gathered together, rearranged the formation, and the team was lined up in two columns, with the people of the Flame Regiment and the Black Wolf Regiment occupying one column each, and marched in pairs and queues towards the valley mouth connecting the inside and outside, and entered the passage.
Chi Taotao followed behind Chai Feng, and in a row with them were the two healers of the Black Wolf Regiment, the four of them were powerless healers in the middle of this long dragon, and the leaders of the two regiments were leading the team in front, and the deputy commanders of the two regiments were responsible for the finish.
This narrow passage is very long, and after walking forward for less than a stick of incense, the vision begins to be affected, but fortunately everyone has prepared torches in advance to illuminate them, so as not to be blinded.
Chi Tao Tao observed this passage by the light of the torch, the stone walls on both sides were not smooth, there were traces of artificial smashing, it seems that this passage was not so wide, but was later widened, and there was already green moss growing on the stone wall, which shows that this road has been reclaimed for a long time.
Although the passage was narrow, there was no problem for the two of them to walk side by side, and everyone walked quietly and cautiously, and no one spoke.
I don't know how long it took to walk like this, Chi Taotao finally saw a bright light in the distance, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited in her heart, that should be the end of the passage, finally arrived.
The light became more and more apparent, and as she stepped out of the narrow passage, her eyes widened at the sight before her.
