Chapter 16: The Mysterious Man and the Dragon Fruit?
"Oh my God, my head is so up. Ten days later, Jiang Ye woke up from the bed.
"Yo, brother, are you awake?" Jiang Jia closed the book and got up and walked towards Jiang Ye.
"How long have I been asleep?" Jiang Ye tried to move his body, but found that something was pressing on his body.
"Lulu, why are you lying on top of me?" Jiang Ye stroked Lulu's messy hair, puzzled.
"You've slept for ten days, how are you feeling okay now?" Jiang Jia crossed Erlang's legs, looking at Jiang Ye's inability to move.
"This little girl has been with you for the past few days when you are asleep, and I slept late yesterday, but I am about to wake up at this point. Jiang Jiao poured a glass of water and handed it to Jiang Ye.
"I'll just wait a little while and get up again, the water is there, and I'll drink when I get up." Jiang Ye only felt weak, and he was weak when he spoke.
"Hmm... At this point, Lulu made a sound and got up.
Seeing Jiang Ye who opened his eyes, Lulu immediately pounced, "Brother, you're awake, I've been worried about you to death these days." ”
"Okay, okay, eh, why are you still crying, don't cry, don't cry. Jiang Ye raised his hand tremblingly, trying to wipe away Lulu's tears.
"You two don't have nothing to do, isn't it, everyone is fine?" Jiang Jiao squeezed out a sentence in embarrassment, and he had been left out in the cold all along.
"What the hell is going on?" Jiang Ye barely got up, of course, with Lulu's full support.
Jiang Kari repeated what he had said to Lulu again.
"Well, in other words, my atavistic ancestor is ahead of schedule?" Jiang Ye lowered his head and pondered.
"Whatever, it's okay now, and there is one sooner than you returned, so you can rest again." In the afternoon, it's an intra-clan competition, although I won't fight today. Jiang Jia took a sip of water and continued.
"But you also have to go and report the way, line up, and get acquainted with the elders. Ekari slowly lowered the water glass.
"But me?" Jiang Ye was about to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Ye again.
"I know what you're going to say, you can't fight like this, so I consulted with the elders and dragged your game to the last. Jiang Jiao looked at Jiang Ye with a smile and spoke slowly.
"Thank you so much, invite you to the beach for grilled fish another day. Jiang Ye quipped.
"Oh, by the way, your big bird is still outside, and in the past few days, he has helped the uncles and aunts in the canteen solve the problem of leftovers, and he flies fast, and can pull some things that he can't usually eat from a distance. Jiang Ka smiled and recounted the events of the storm in the past few days.
"Also, you're a nice pet, and you took care of you when you were hurt, and it's good to our family. Jiang Jia added.
"My big bird is level 70, so I was used by you to pull goods?" Jiang Ye was stupid.
"This is much faster than before, our transport team, no need to run, with storage bags full, fly back directly, do you know how much trouble has been saved?" Jiang Jia said excitedly.
"Okay, okay, this is my bird, don't ride it in the future, I'm sorry it's uncomfortable. Jiang Ye complained as he spoke.
"Don't worry, there's no need to ride, this bird won't let others ride, so we tied a big basket underneath and flew to take us away. Jiang Jiao hurriedly explained.
"We've found a way to be lazy this time, you have to talk to the family elders, your bird is not big, and it flies fast, unlike those dragons, griffins or something, it doesn't matter if it flies slowly, it's still big, and it costs money and resources to raise, just solve our leftovers every day, this kind of bird for nothing, who doesn't like it." Jiang Jia told the truth.
"Okay, okay, I won't talk to you, I'll go have a meal, and by the way, what is this bird doing now. Jiang Ye climbed out of bed and moved his body.
"I'll go with you. Lulu grabbed Jiang Ye's hand and said coquettishly.
"But... Jiang Ye hesitated.
"It's okay, I used a little bit of the power of the future patriarch, you take her out for a walk, the uncle and aunt in the backyard are happy to see this little guy, don't want it, I haven't seen a child for many years, I have one, and I send delicious food every day." Jiang Jia waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Thank you, brother. Jiang Ye nodded and expressed his gratitude to Jiang Jiao.
"Then let's go, let's see. Jiang Ye said to Lulu.
"Don't forget to come back in two hours, I'm going to the tournament to group up. Jiang Jiao admonished.
Outside the cafeteria...
"Auntie, I'm here, do you still have buns?" Jiang Ye took Lulu's little hand and walked to the cafeteria.
"Eh, is the little guy here again?" The aunt and uncle directly ignored Jiang Ye, stepped forward, hugged Lulu, and happily pinched her little face.
"Auntie?" Jiang Ye asked quietly again.
"Yo, Xiao Ye, I wish you a smooth return to your ancestors, this time it takes up your sister's light, today at noon, the patriarch invited the elders to eat, it just so happened that the second master brought back the meat of the spirit deer from outside, I'm here, I have deducted a little, make some supplements for Lulu and you, the children eat more good, they can grow up faster, what about you, eat some, and the recovery will be faster." The eldest lady said proudly.
"Eh, thank you, Auntie, thank you so much. Jiang Ye burst into tears in an instant.
"You're welcome, I'm also taking advantage of your big bird's light, taking us to the volcano in the extremely cold place, picking dragon fruit to eat, good guy, I haven't eaten it for more than 200 years, this bite down, my heart, 200 years younger." The uncles and aunts were intoxicated with the happy moment at that time at the same time.
"It's easy to do, just go and pick it up when I'm done with the competition. Jiang Ye scratched his head and said.
"That's good, we used to have to go north to eat, and we were so busy working every day that we couldn't go. ”
The eldest lady said again: "This big bird flies really fast, much faster than that flying dragon, griffin, riding other flies to fly back, this fruit is not fresh, but this big bird, less than an hour, a back and forth, with the ice in the north, come back and open it to eat, the same as the one just picked, there is no loss." ”
"No problem, I'll go when I have time, you can give me the map later, I know the location, it's easy to pick." Jiang Ye said with a smile, in addition to his brother, the uncle and aunt are the people who care about Jiang Ye the most.
There was a lively atmosphere in the cafeteria, and everyone was chatting happily.
Just when everyone was talking happily, a middle-aged man walked in, exuding a solemn temperament, passing by Jiang Ye, without looking at him, and walked directly to the eldest mother.
"Auntie, that, I heard you say that I have eaten fresh dragon fruit, can you also help me get a few?" the solemn man suddenly lowered his body and said in an almost pleading tone.
"Then you have to wait, and it's not like you say you can eat if you want, you have to go to the back. The uncle on the side pinched his waist, stood up, and said angrily.
"Besides, it's not up to you to have the final say now, you have to ask Xiao Ye. The aunt glared at the man and reprimanded.
The aura exuded by this man was useless in front of all the uncles and aunts, but was suppressed like a child.
"Xiao Ye?" the man wondered.
"It's the young man standing behind you, the newcomer to the family. The aunt who was picking vegetables on the side couldn't help but squirt.
"Yo, young man, what's your name?" the man asked with a smile.
"My name is Jiang Ye, and I live on the side. Jiang Ye said.
"Jiang Jiao's younger brother. The man touched his beard and muttered.
And Lulu on the side jumped up, took Jiang Ye's hand, and pointed at herself.
"Oh, this is Jiang Lulu, my sister. Jiang Ye smiled.
"Mmmm, I heard your brother say, the little girl is very cute, it's everyone's pistachio, we will take care of him. The man laughed.
"Okay, it's not too early, I still have some things, so I won't accompany you, Xiao Ye, next time you have dragon fruit, remember to bring some for me." The man thought about it again and handed Jiang Ye a sign.
"After you get the fruit, you can find the captain of the guard, and he will bring you directly. The man added.
"Of course I won't let you do it in vain, I'll pay you somewhat. The man said kindly.
"You are so polite, I will definitely bring back some of the fruit and give it to you, they all live in the same family, and live under the same roof, this little thing is nothing. Jiang Ye agreed with a smile.
"Well, you're very good, young man, and I'm optimistic about you. The man commented on Jiang Ye.
"Well, aunts and uncles, you have worked hard. The man bowed respectfully to the aunts and uncles.
Turning to Xiao Ye, he said, "Looking forward to your performance, we'll see you later." With that, he left in a hurry.
"See you in a while?" Jiang Ye asked a question mark in his heart.
Before Jiang Ye could think for half a second, Lulu on the side pulled Jiang Ye and shouted coquettishly: "Brother~, I'm hungry, let's eat quickly." ”
"Good, good, eat, little one. Jiang Ye picked up Lulu and put her on the seat next to her, and the two of them ate it in a big gulp.
Half an hour later, the two of them, who had eaten and drunk enough, thanked the kitchen uncle and aunt, and came out, of course, with a map in their hands, which marked more than two dozen places where dragon fruit could be picked.
"There's still an hour and a half to enter, what are we doing during this time?" Jiang Ye smiled at Lulu.
"Anything. Lulu said with a smile.
A bird's call suddenly broke the atmosphere between the two.
"Ah, I forgot about the storm. Jiang Ye patted his head and muttered.
"You're my big red bird now. Jiang Ye laughed.
"Eh, boss, it's nothing, run errands, have food, and they don't hate me, it's the best of both worlds. Storm sold a cute and said.
"You are also lucky enough, our family has never allowed war pets to enter residential areas, you are an exception, so many war pets are envious. Jiang Ye said with wide eyes.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Ye asked again.
"It's going to be dinner in a while, I just caught a ground splitting beast from outside, the last time I took an uncle out, they brought this thing back, I don't know why, I saw it by the way today, and I caught it. Storm laughed.
"Alright, go ahead, and see how hungry you look. Jiang Ye watched the storm keep stomping his feet, and knew that he was hungry.
When the storm heard this, he ran to the cafeteria.
"And... Storm, thank you for saving me. Jiang Ye said gratefully.
"Boss, what are you talking about, this is what I should do, the one you gave me to drink is not an ordinary thing, I have flown back to the family territory in the past few days, I am two laps older than the clansmen, and I have mastered so many elemental powers, there are several female eagles chasing me, to conceive my child, this makes me happy." Storm screamed.
"Okay, it's good to know, let's work together. ”
"Okay, boss!"
