Chapter 198: Leave
Grandma Peach was lying on the bed with a soft pillow behind her and her hands folded on the white futon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
She looked out the window, and the sound of rain was pouring in her ears.
"Speaking of which, someone else gave me this name......
She withdrew her gaze and looked at Qianling and Li Jing, who were looking at her curiously and seriously in front of the bed, and a gentle smile appeared on her old face:
"I have loved peaches since I was a child, and I often pick peach blossoms to make garlands and run around the mountains barefoot...... Later, I was bumped into by the old man, so he gave me this name. ”
Qianling opened a pair of amber eyes and listened very carefully:
"So...... Actually, the name 'peach' was chosen by your husband?"
Grandma Peach nodded, with a gentle light in her eyes.
"That's good," Li Jing held her chin and nodded, smacking her lips slightly, "It feels very romantic." ”
Grandma Tao looked at her with an envious look and smiled faintly:
"When I was a child, I had no relatives, no shelter, no friends, no name, and I was often bullied in an orc village. Later, he simply hid in the peach forest on the mountain, rested on the peach tree at night, drank sweet spring water when he was thirsty, preyed on pheasants and hares when he was hungry, and knitted peach blossom rings and dried peach blossoms when he was bored...... If I hadn't met the old man later and followed him down the mountain, I would have stayed there for the rest of my life without contact......
Li Jing blinked, and her eyes suddenly overflowed with crystal light:
"Ah, so you used to live in the orc headquarters, Grandma Momo?"
Grandma Peach nodded slightly:
"I also know that A-Jing, your family used to live in the headquarters of the orc clan. For the sake of Xiaoguo, it is not easy for a large family to move all the way to the Yinfeng River Valley. ”
"It's just a pity for Li San's child...... the old man sighed lowly, "Seeing that the baby in the womb is born, how good it is for the family to live happily...... How did that happen all of a sudden? ”
The hand holding the teacup clenched slightly, Qianling lowered her head, and the chestnut hair fell down her cheeks, vaguely covering her face.
"That's right...... A-Jing, Xiaoling, do you know the situation outside?"
As if remembering something, Grandma Tao looked at Qianling and Li Jing in front of the bed, and her eyes showed a little worry.
"Outside?" Li Jing looked at her, tilting her head in confusion.
"There's been a lot of movement lately...... It's said that the war has begun to spread," Grandma Tao looked at the rain falling outside the window, and her voice was low, "It's like three hundred years ago." ”
Qianling raised her head, and her eyes suddenly trembled slightly.
"You mean the Demon Clan and the Holy City...... Fight again?" Li Jing frowned slightly.
Grandma Tao lowered her head slightly, and her voice was faint:
"You can't say 'again'...... The battle between the angelic holy city of Elean and the demon clan has been fought for thousands of years, and the war has never stopped. Three hundred years of peace were only a temporary semblance of silence, and war broke out sooner or later. ”
"A-Jing, Xiaoling......" She looked at the two girls in front of the bed, and her voice was soft, "It was the demon clan who rescued and took us in the first place, I am grateful to Dade, I shouldn't have said such a thing......"
"It's just that, if you have the chance, let's get out of here and find another way. ”
Qianling looked at the exhortation in the old man's eyes and slowly lowered her eyelids.
Originally...... That's what she planned.
"But Grandma Tao, didn't you also say that there is war spreading everywhere outside, and the demon clan headquarters at the bottom of this valley is very safe, why do you want to leave?" Li Jing frowned slightly in confusion.
Grandma Peach looked at her and shook her head slowly:
"I'm afraid that security is only temporary. In today's situation, the smoke of gunpowder is gradually rising, and war is about to break out...... There are already examples of the Bard's Valley, and you should have seen that even the Holy City of Angels can show its violent and cruel side when it comes to the enemy......"
"For thousands of years, Elanyis has suppressed demons with the light of God, and has almost never suffered defeat. Three hundred years ago, if it weren't for the gifted Moon God, the Demon Clan would not even be able to escape from the sea of molten fire, let alone fight against it...... Have you ever thought about what will happen to us if one day the Demon Clan is defeated?"
Li Jing was stunned, her lips moved, and she gradually frowned: "What you said seems to be really ......."
Qianling held the teacup and lowered her head quietly, without speaking.
Grandma Peach looked at the two of them and sighed lowly:
"But this is only the worst-case scenario, and my wife is just talking casually, don't worry too much. Judging from the current situation, the Demon Clan is guarded by the Moon God and the Realm Spirit Lord, and there are many hidden strongholds inside and outside Galandal, and the number of demon guards is far more numerous than that of Ellens...... It doesn't matter who wins or loses. ”
Li Jing raised her head, her listless appearance was swept away, and her eyes revealed a bit of brilliance: "Well, I've seen the ability of Lord Luna...... The Demon Clan will definitely not lose. ”
"As for my desire for you to leave...... It's because the situation is tense now, no matter who wins or loses, it's a matter between the two clans of Ellens and the Demon Clan, and if you accidentally get involved, it's really dangerous. Grandma Tao looked at the two girls in front of the bed and spoke seriously.
Qianling slowly raised her eyes and looked at the old man in front of her, her hand clenched a little.
"What's more, the territory of the demon clan at the bottom of this valley is shaded by the divine tree, and it can't shine in the sun, and it is dark all day long...... The dark demon constitution is cold and cold, so it doesn't matter if it doesn't shine in the sun, but we are different......"
"The orcs are born not to be restrained, and they live freely under the sun, running in the mountains, forests and wilderness, which is where life and vitality lie. ”
Grandma Tao looked at Xiao Nuo, who quietly brought the freshly poured tea into the room, smiled and gently beckoned to him to come over, Xiao Nuo put down the teacup and obediently walked over to sit at the head of the bed, holding her hand.
"It's like a kid like Arnold...... At a young age, he had a great talent for hunting, but now he was like a bird in a cage...... Someday they will lose their original abilities. ”
Qianling looked at Xiao Nuo quietly, and lowered her eyelids slightly, as if she had thought of something, and her eyes showed a little worry.
"Although the Demon Clan's territory at the bottom of this valley has a stable life, safety and no worries about food and clothing, it is not a long-term solution after all......," Grandma Tao's voice was soft, "It is true that the war is spreading outside, but it also mostly happens around the Demon Clan's territory, as long as you stay away from the areas related to the Demon Clan, although life is more difficult, at least your life is worry-free." ”
Grandma Peach paused, raised her eyes, and stared at the two girls in front of the bed with vaguely cloudy eyes:
"The reason why I say this is actually because I have a little selfishness......"
"Lately, I've often dreamed of my youth, and I've often dreamed of days in the Windswept Valley......" She looked at the light rain falling outside the window, and her old voice was as soft as a drifting dandelion, "Natural and man-made disasters are coming, and no one can predict them." So there are some things that I think would be better to say sooner......"
She slowly looked at Qianling and Li Jing in front of the bed, her eyes trembled slightly, and there was a slight choking in the old hoarse voice pleading:
"A-Jing, Xiaoling...... If one day my old wife dies, the demon clan will be in danger again...... I hope you can leave with Arnold. This kid is smart and sensible, he can hunt, and most of his life skills have been learned, so he won't drag you down, and maybe he can help a lot......"
