173. On the eve of departure
"Yes, look more confident. Xia Gui said with a smile. He suddenly felt a little like a court hostess.
Cao Ming's eyes widened, "Is that so?"
Xia Gui smiled, "Confident eyes, you must have confident strength to build a foundation." I've been training you lately, and I hope you have strong strength and confidence. In this way, you are not afraid of being bullied wherever you go. ”
Cao Ming touched his head, "Boss, you have worked hard, and the little one is really grateful." ”
The two walked over to a table, sat down and began to eat.
There are no good things left, a few big steamed buns, a few bowls of cold porridge, and some vegetables. Cao Ming was in a state of hunger, his appetite was great, he ate very deliciously, and in a blink of an eye, three steamed buns were in his stomach, and he finally burped slowly.
The kitchen handyman who cleaned up next to him couldn't help but whisper: "What's the matter today? Dozens of hungry ghosts have come, and the back kitchen has been emptied." ”
Hearing this, Cao Ming and Xia Gui looked at each other tacitly and smiled, they both knew what was going on with those dozens of hungry ghosts.
After the miscellaneous servants left, Xia Gui asked, "Cao Ming, what do you think of here?"
Cao Ming scratched his head and replied, "Here...... Although it is not as comfortable as the former Southern Wilderness Country, it also has a foothold here. As long as you work hard, the adults of the mountain villa are also rewarded and punished. ”
Since he followed Xia Gui, he has not only been able to complete the task, but even exceeded the quota and was rewarded by his superiors. Compared with other parks, the tasks of the Hundred Beasts Park were completed efficiently, no one made a mistake, and not a single slave who had been punished for two months was simply a piece of pure land.
Cao Ming continued to add: "In fact, for the little ones, it's the same everywhere, and the most important thing is to follow the right person. The little one may have been lucky since he was a child, and when he was in the Southern Wilderness Country before, he was fortunate enough to follow General Woding, and when he arrived at Jiuhou Villa, he was able to follow Brother Turtle again. If Brother Turtle doesn't dislike it, the little one is willing to follow Brother Turtle for life, and Brother Turtle has to send him, just tell the little one. ”
Compared with the previous official tone, Cao Ming's words were heartfelt and quite emotional. And hearing the words "General Wodding", Xia Gui's face also melted slightly.
He still remembers that after he escaped from the martyrdom with his wisdom, he was put in a rickety prison car, and when he swallowed helpless tears in the bleak wind and cold moon, it was this young man named Cao Ming who said hello to him.
He said that he was from the Southern Wilderness, and he also said that he had been a subordinate of General Wodin.
Perhaps because of this reason, Xia Gui finally felt a little warmth from his fellow villagers in his heart and gained the firm courage to live.
Xia Gui smiled, "You used to be a subordinate of Wodin, and now you are willing to follow me?"
Cao Ming nodded again and again: "General Wodin is dead, and the little one is helpless in this villa, so he can only follow Lord Turtle." ”
"Good. Xia Gui smiled and said, "After lunch, I will start teaching you the introductory martial arts, and after you learn it, I will teach it to others." ”
Cao Ming was surprised and delighted, and the half of the steamed bun in his mouth almost didn't fall out, "Thank you, Lord Turtle." ”
Xia Gui smiled and nodded.
What he thought in his heart was that Cao Ming was following him now, and after he rescued Wodin, he would see what kind of expression Cao Ming had.
......
Although Jiang Guangyuan had already learned the news that Xia Gui was going to the northern base, in the few days that Xia Gui had not left, he still continued to send condensation liquid and soul essence, and it was not interrupted every day.
Xia Gui was grateful in his heart, although Lord Jiang was disappointed in himself, his mood of care had never changed. At least in the days that he has not left, there has been no change in his treatment status.
This strengthened Xia Gui's determination to teach slave martial arts well and improve everyone's ability, and he didn't want to leave a mess for Lord Jiang after he left.
In the past few days of teaching martial arts, Xia Gui was also surprised to find that Cao Ming's martial arts talent was quite good. The introductory human-level martial arts can be taught three or five times, and this young man seems to have an unforgettable ability for body movements. So Xia Gui taught him three sets of human-level martial arts against the enemy, and the ordinary Han was no longer Cao Ming's opponent.
Xia Gui taught Cao Ming some ways to refine qi and settle down, but Cao Ming's temperament was not very stable, and he didn't seem to be able to sit still, and he hadn't stepped into the threshold after practicing for a long time. Xia Gui is not in a hurry, after all, not everyone is cultivation material, as long as Cao Ming learns these martial arts well, it is not a problem to deal with ordinary beasts. As for cultivation, this matter is in a hurry, so let him take his time.
On the evening of the eighth day, Xia Gui finally received a notice from Gu Li. Tomorrow afternoon, someone will pick up Xia Gui and officially go to the northern base.
After receiving the news, Xia Gui took a deep breath, leaned against the wooden house, and looked at the faint kerosene lamp.
Finally...... It's time to go.
But before leaving, he still has one more important thing to explain.
That night, Xia Gui made an appointment with Ah Rong and Ah Biao, and directly told the two sisters and brothers the news that he was leaving.
Pan Hong and Jiang Guangyuan kept this matter secret, and the sister and brother were still in the dark about this matter, and when Xia Gui told the two, they cried out in shock.
"What? Did Gu Li force you to go?" exclaimed.
Xia Gui shook his head, "It's not forced, I want to go myself." ”
"Why?" Ah Rong looked at Xia Gui in disbelief.
Obviously, a similar explanation is going to come again, and Xia Gui doesn't want to say so much. He replied very simply: "If you believe me, do not ask, and do not question." I'll take you away eventually. ”
Ah Rong and Ah Biao looked at Xia Gui in a daze.
Compared with Jiang Guangyuan and the others, the three of them had the experience of gathering many times to discuss secrets, and they also had the secret of cultivating Lingluo Shiso and refining soul essence together, so when Xia Gui said this explanation, Ah Rong and Ah Biao could understand Xia Gui's thoughts better than Jiang Guangyuan.
Xia Guidao: "I'm looking for a way to leave, and I already have a feasible plan. It's just that the answer I want is in the northern base, so I have to take a risk. I have said these things only because I think you are my own, and if you want to leave with me, keep it a secret and do not tell anyone. ”
Ah Rong and Ah Biao's sisters and brothers are credible, so Xia Gui told the truth.
Under the moonlight, Ah Rong's chest was violently bullied, and her red lips trembled slightly, and she said after a long time: "Okay, we believe in you." ”
These two sisters and brothers can be regarded as two old fritters, and they understand the stakes of this matter, so they naturally won't talk nonsense.
Ah Biao said: "Brother Turtle, do you want to continue refining the soul essence?"
Xia Gui said: "Go on." How many bottles are there now?"
Ah Biao replied: "Originally, I made two bottles, and I gave you one bottle last time, I don't know if it helped you." ”
Xia Gui said: "Very useful, thank you." But I still need to make three bottles, and you need to refine two more, how long will it take?" Ah Biao replied.
This time is also a conservative estimate, with the improvement of Ah Biao's refining skills, it can be refined in half a month under optimistic conditions.
"Good. If you don't have enough materials, let me know. Xia Guidao.
"Okay, Brother Turtle. Ah Biao replied.
The matter is finally over.
A look of anticipation swept over the corner of Xia Gui's eyes, and he looked at the behemoth located in the north direction.
Once the soul essence is ready, it is time to carry out that grand escape plan.
