When Qianrou walked out of Lird's tent alone, there was no trace of wind in the dark night, and the light on the lamp in her palm did not shake in the slightest, but she could not calm down in Qianrou's heart.

The presence of Lird made it clear to him that he was the hidden threat of the tribe.

These people are not her enemies, they shed their blood for themselves and the tribe when necessary, they don't want to kill Qianrou as a sacrifice and replace it, what they want to do is a kind of "correction" assistance, and sometimes they are Qianrou's most effective cadres and helpers.

Now, however, they are a threat to Qianrou.

"What do you decide to do next?"

As Qianrou walked towards her tent with the lantern in hand, Lird's question came to her mind.

In this regard, Qianrou was even more silent.

But this time Lird didn't give her extra time to think about it.

"The most Jim has said since I got here is that time is running out, and I'm constantly reminding myself that time is running out with my father. ”

"Now that my father is gone, I am beginning to understand the deepest meaning of Jim's words, and the tribe's time is running out. ”

"It has been a long time since the German fighter plane attacked here, although at the time it left people with extremely crazy memories, but now it seems that this memory has begun to dissipate in everyone's minds, and there is no longer heavy grief on their faces, maybe it is precipitated in their hearts, maybe it is really forgotten cleanly, no matter what they blame, because they are just ordinary members of this mortal world, for them the meaning of their life is only to live, they are ordinary or, burdened with the responsibilities and obligations arranged by a few people for them, and after a long time of training, they even think that this is the meaning of their life, but you and I both know no. ”

No!

The light on the lamp jumped in the windless night, like Qianrou's heart that could not be calmed.

"Whatever that [power] is, whether it is good or evil, light or darkness, auspiciousness or bad luck, it brings you honor and status, and whatever the purpose of the sacrifices has been used, it is the most precious treasure in your hands, and perhaps the responsibility you have to pay is much smaller than that of you. ”

"But no matter how small it is, don't forget the meaning of that responsibility, which is to protect the people here and do your best. ”

Qianrou's fingers gripping the lamp became harder and harder, and her fingers turned a little white, and her lips were pressed together without making a sound, as if she had remained silent in the tent in the face of Lird's words.

"You don't have time to think about it, knowing that defeating these threats to you is not the end goal, it is only the first step in your plan. ”

Looking at Liard's extremely firm face in the dim light, Qianrou only felt that her heart had been infected by Liard's emotions, and it was at that moment that she finally made her own decision.

...

When Qianrou picked up the lamp on the ground and was about to leave, Lird suddenly stopped her.

"One last question. ”

Qianrou stood still, but didn't look back.

"How did you know that the person who came back wasn't Jim but me. ”

After a moment of silence, Qianrou slowly spoke: "Rational analysis and intuitive judgment." Liard's face, already in darkness, lifted up, and his eyes came into the reach of the light.

"First of all, it's kind of weird that Jim will come back, he's not a good person to give up, and I'm sure he won't come back if he hadn't found you. And you're Jim's only hope now, if you really have something to do or go missing, Jim will be completely lost, and he will never come back here, even if this is his home. ”

Lird nodded, and he had to admit that Qianrou knew Jim's personality and temper better than he did.

After a moment of silence, Qianrou said slowly: "On the other hand, I don't believe that you will die, it's just intuition. ”

Lird paused when he heard this, and then whispered, "Thank you." ”

With that, Qianrou pushed the door and left.

...

When the "thank you" echoed in Qianrou's mind again, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Qian's mouth, and then she unconsciously said a sentence that seemed to be boundless.

"Fool. ”

...

After thinking for a long time, he walked back to his previous seat, groped for one of his bamboo baskets in the dark, opened the lid of the basket and put his hand into it, and after taking out something from it, he walked to a tent window, and after observing that there was nothing outside, he poked his hand out.

Then a black figure flew out of Lird's palm, and in an instant it soared into the sky, and soon disappeared.

...

After a long wait, I don't know how long it took, finally the light broke and the earth was completely illuminated.

The people of the remnants of Atlantis rose early to start a new day, which in their eyes was an ordinary day, but it was destined to change their history forever!

Today, Qianrou woke up early as usual, freshened up under Abigai's service, and then walked out of the tent.

During the whole process, Abigai observed Qianrou silently, but saw that her expression was very calm and peaceful, and her expression was full, and it seemed that she slept very sweetly last night.

Seeing this scene, Abigai frowned and then said softly, "Lord Sacrifice is in a good mood today?"

Hearing this, Qianrou turned her eyes to Abigai and said, "Oh, why do you say that?"

For Qianrou's calm gaze, Abigai didn't dare to look at each other, so he could only look away, and then whispered: "It's nothing, it's just intuition." ”

Qianrou smiled lightly and said, "Intuition? Then your intuition is quite inaccurate." Now the whole tribe can be said to be in internal and external troubles, a whole mess, do you think I will be happy in the face of this situation?"

Abigai lowered her head and remained silent.

Qianrou took a deep breath and sighed, "Who knows what it really looks like?" and continued to walk forward.

Abigai looked at Qianrou's moving figure, and for some reason she only felt the arrogance from that figure, and there was no loneliness at all.

...

After a short time of walking, Qianrou came to a dead tree.

I don't know how long this dead tree has been dead, but it was here when the Atlantean remnants came here, and it has already experienced countless ups and downs, witnessing the ups and downs of many events in the sunrise and sunset.

Granny Chas sat under the dead tree, its withered trunk resembling her old and clumped figure.

I don't know when it became one of the daily habits of Granny Chas to sit under this dead tree in the early morning and watch the people come and go and start a new day. Even when the wind is cold, it stays that way.

Qianrou walked up to Granny Chas, and gestured to her slightly, which was the greatest respect for Granny Chas.

Granny Chas also bowed her head and bowed, as a respected old man in the tribe, she is qualified to make such a simple return of the courtesy.

"Mother-in-law, morning. Qianrou said calmly.

"Sacrifice to your lordship, early. ”

The two of them communicated in the simplest way possible, and even the most ordinary citizens of San Francisco would have to greet the driver in a taxi more tedious than that.

"Mother-in-law can I have breakfast?" Qianrou continued to whisper.

Granny Chas shook her head, and then said, "Not yet, people." When I get older, my body doesn't get worse day by day, and when I am young, I often don't like to eat breakfast, but when I am older, I can't eat anymore. ”

Qianrou smiled: "How come, my mother-in-law is still very young, and her body is still very strong, there is an old Chinese saying that old age is strong, and it is the most suitable to describe you." ”

Hearing this, Granny Chas laughed and said, "Thank you for your wishes. ”

Qian Ju said: "Speaking of which, I don't have anything, why don't my mother-in-law walk with me, exercise my body, and stretch my muscles and bones, I will definitely increase my appetite." ”

Granny Chass looked at Qianrou, a complicated look suddenly flashed in her eyes, and after a while, Granny Chass suddenly laughed.

"Haha, I'm ashamed to say that the old body is really old, not only is his body not good, but his brain has also become confused. In the morning, I had already been to the porridge shed and drank half a bowl of porridge, and now my stomach is full. ”

Qianrou turned her head, looked in the direction of the porridge shed from afar, looked at the smoke that had just risen, and then chuckled: "It seems that my mother-in-law is really confused." Granny Chas only chuckled at this.

But soon Qianrou shrugged her shoulders and said to Granny Chas: "It doesn't matter, since my mother-in-law has already eaten breakfast, it is better to take a walk with me, and digest the food in my belly." ”

This time, the smile on Granny Chas's face instantly froze, her gaze began to sharpen, staring at Qianrou deadly, and the expression of Abigai who followed behind Qianrou also changed, and a dead gray color began to spread.

But Qianrou seemed to be blind to the changes around her, and she was very natural and indifferent.

After a moment of silence, Granny Chas slowly stood up, the corners of her mouth grinning to the sides, but there was no smile.

Then, the old man will accompany the priest for a walk. ”

Qianrou smiled: "Okay, let's go." ”

...

Soon after Qianrou, Granny Chas, and Abigai began to walk out of the camp, there was movement in the tent where Lird was staying.

The door, which had been closed, opened, and a figure in a gray cloak stepped out.

Not far from the tent, a few Atlantean warriors were sharing a piece of dry food for the cake, they were the same people who had been arranged by Abigai to monitor Jim, they had been working all night, everyone was in a much worse spirit, and the dry food in their mouths felt very tasteless at this time.

When the gray-robed man walked out of the tent, several of them were refreshed, and the next moment they stopped stuffing the food into their mouths, but soon their bodies froze there.

The man who emerged from the tent was not the Jim they had expected, but another face, and they were no strangers to the owner of this face, it was Lird!

When Liede suffered from this gray cloak, the whole person became gloomy and solemn, and he no longer looked like a young man full of vitality, but added a bit of mystery to his body, looking more like a swordsman with a heavy responsibility.

For these warriors of the Atlantean relic, who were born in near seclusion, the romance was incomprehensible to them, but out of the most instinctive instincts of a warrior, they felt a different aura from Lird's body.

Murderous!

When Lird came out of the tent, he took the tent door with his hand, and it seemed that he was just going out for a bite to eat, and then he would return.

Then Lird stepped forward, his goal was clear—the porridge shed.

Looking at the figure of Lird leaving, several people watching each other looked at each other in shock, they couldn't understand what was going on, why Lird walked out of the tent safely, shouldn't he be missing?

And was Jim, who they were spying on, in the tent?

After a brief moment of astonishment, several people quickly looked at each other and exchanged glances, and then the three of them immediately stood up and followed behind Lird, while the rest of them remained on guard, guarding Jim, who was most likely to appear later.

On the way to the porridge shack, Lird met many people in Atlantis, and they had the same attitude towards Lird as before, unaware that Lird was still the son of Pym, an amiable alien.

Many people smiled at Lird and greeted him in a language that Lird did not understand at all, and Lird greeted them one by one very politely.

Soon after, Lird came to the porridge shed, thinking that this was the first time he had come to eat at the porridge shed since he came to the Atlantean family. Even for the first time, Lird was not inhibited, and he was very familiar with the process of the porridge shed, taking the crude wooden bowl from the hand of one person, coming to the steaming porridge pot, and handing the wooden bowl forward.

The girl in charge of serving the porridge was slightly stunned when she saw Lird, as if she was a little surprised by Lird's appearance. Lird smiled at the girl in front of him, who felt a little familiar to him, and soon remembered that he had met her on his way to the stream where he washed.

The girl smiled in return for Lird's smile. She then served porridge to Liarde.

A bowl full of them, the girl particially gave Leard more.

Lird smiled and nodded, thanked him in English, and stepped aside.

The girl's mind echoed through Lird's last words, and though she didn't understand them, her instincts told him they were warm words.

Thinking of this, the girl smiled sweetly again.

While the girl was giggling, Lird began to drink porridge.

The porridge is very hot, but it is very fragrant, and when you drink it, it flows into the stomach and intestines, and it is very warm.

Lird laughed again, looked up, saw the man, and felt the cold gaze at the same time.
