Chapter Twenty-Seven: Arrival in the Land of Sands
As the sun set, the group walked out of the desert, and the walls of the sandbank country appeared at the end of the view.
During the war, the situation here was not much better than that of the border town, and when you walked in, there was silence and no one around.
Flattened white cloth-wrapped buildings are scattered on the orange-yellow sand, like white mushrooms in the forest meadows.
"Why isn't there anyone here?"
Madara sat on Hainan Hua's camel and asked, but his eyes were looking at Dong Wusheng on the side.
"During the war, they all hid at home. ”
Hainan Hua answered behind him.
Dong Wusheng didn't raise his head, silent and didn't know what he was thinking.
"It's called a windbreaker, and the civilians on this side of the Sandbank Country live in this kind of building. ”
Hainan Hua pointed to the tightly closed white cloth-shaped buildings on both sides, and after speaking, he raised his hand to the end of the field of vision, "Further forward is an oasis, quite large, there are seven lakes large and small, and there will be a city wall around it when the time comes, and it will be inhabited by royalty and wealthy people, and the architectural style is actually similar to that of ordinary cities." ”
"Oh......"
Madara nodded, and after a while he threw out a new question, "And where do we live?"
Hainan Hua shook the folding fan, looking very proud, "Have you ever heard of Nanfeng Firm, child?"
"No ......"
Madara shook his head sincerely.
"Then you will definitely hear about it in the future," Hainan Huaman smiled nonchalantly: "Our Nanfeng Commercial Bank, that is the largest commercial house in the whole continent, no matter where you go, you will see it." ”
"And now, the person who founded this chamber of commerce is right in front of you. ”
Hainan Hua took a folding fan to cover half of his face, revealing only a pair of eyes staring at Spot.
Madara: "......?"
Madara had an uncertain look on his face, "Oh......"
Hainan Hua: "......"
Dong Wusheng sneered beside him.
When they arrived at Hainan Hua's mansion, there were already servants preparing meals, and a maid with light blond hair was waiting in front of the mansion.
"Long time no see, Alanna. ”
Madara looked down and saw Dong Wusheng smiling at the maid with his face up.
"Long time no see. ”
The maid named Alena also smiled gently.
After entering the house and getting off the camel, Madara ran to Dong Wusheng's wheelchair, and was sent away by her before he could stand still, "You can have dinner with Hainan Hainanhua, I'll come over later." ”
"Good ......"
Madara still nodded obediently, watched Dong Wusheng leave, and then followed Hainan Hua to the restaurant.
When Dong Wusheng took care of the wound, he heard Hainan Hua's laughter from afar, and when he walked into the restaurant, he had an angry expression on his cheeks, and there was an almost full wine glass in front of him.
Dong Wusheng stood outside the hall and laughed silently, almost imagining the scene where Hainan Hua coaxed the child to drink a few minutes ago.
Hainan Hua seemed to want to say something to Madara, but Madara obviously didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, he didn't know how to use chopsticks and didn't want to ask Hainan Hua for advice, so he took a spoon and scooped the soup himself.
Dong Wusheng walked into the restaurant, walked straight to the position next to Madara, pulled out a chair and sat down, and took the glass of wine in front of Madara and drank it down.
"Don't drink children. ”
As she spoke, she glanced at Hainan Nanhua and picked up her chopsticks to show Madara the correct way to use them.
Hainan Hua was about to pour wine for Dong Wusheng with a wine jug, but was blocked by Dong Wusheng, "Don't drink it, there will be business in a while." ”
Hainan Hua picked up his wine glass and shook his head with a regretful face, "That's really a pity, this is a unique aging wine in Shazhou Country, and it will be difficult to taste it again when you leave here." ”
Dong Wusheng lowered his head and picked up the vegetables, pretending not to hear, "What's going on outside now?"
"You drink two drinks with me, and I'll tell you about it. ”
Hainan Hua shook the wine in the cup and looked at Dong Wusheng with a smile.
Dong Wusheng sighed and put down his chopsticks, "Forget it, it's the same tomorrow." ”
"Hey, that's right, you said that in your kind of business, what are you doing so seriously, there is wine today and drunk today, and how many days is waste. ”
Hainan Hua immediately filled Dong Wusheng, Dong Wusheng snorted lightly, ignored his hooligan remarks, took the cup and took a sip.
"Can you say it now?"
"Don't worry. ”
Hainan Hua put down the flask and glanced at Madara before starting to get down to business, "Is it okay for him to hear it?"
"It's okay," Madara looked at Dong Wusheng, who glanced at him, the look in his red eyes was a little complicated, "I should also let him know what kind of choice he made." ”
"That's okay," Hainan Hua took a bite of food, took another sip of wine, and then put down his chopsticks and said: "Someone in the black market is selling your itinerary, I contacted that person, and found that he even has a positioning spirit weapon that can directly locate you...... Have you ever checked where you've been spelled?"
"It should be Gu Changgeng's person," Dong Wusheng raised his right hand so that Hainan Hua could see the silver chain on her hand, "His lock has a positioning spell engraved on it, but I can't unlock this lock." ”
Madara saw the silver chain too.
Every time he saw it, he felt his heart beat so fast that it was pounding in his ears, but he really didn't understand why.
"You can't solve it?"
Hainan Hua smashed his mouth, "Then you're done, how can you fight Gu Changgeng like this?"
Dong Wusheng shrugged his shoulders and raised a glass to him, "How many days is a few days." ”
Hainan Hua laughed, picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with her.
"What are your plans on coming to Shazhou Country this time?"
"Hmm...... Assassinate the Queen? hey ......"
Dong Wusheng tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Hathaway?"
Seeing Dong Wusheng nodding, Hainan Hua couldn't help but speak, "I regret clinking glasses with you, I don't think you can waste more than three days...... Don't drag me into the water when the time comes. ”
"That's not good," Dong Wusheng drank two full glasses of wine, and there was no trace of color on his face, and his face was still pale under the light, not like a living person.
She hooked the corners of her mouth and looked at Hainan Hua, "I still expect you to collect my body." ”
--
After living in Shazhou Country for a few days, Madara's days were extraordinarily quiet.
Dong Wusheng couldn't see anyone most of the time, and Madara could see her at the dinner table in the evening. After dinner, Dong Wusheng would sit in the yard for a while, feed her cats, and sit and watch the five cats go wild in the yard, and ask Alanna about Madara's study by the way.
She asked Alena to teach Madara how to read and write.
Madara took advantage of this time to pass by, teasing the cats while listening to them talk about themselves.
Although, even if Alanna praised him for his seriousness and intelligence, Dong Wusheng usually just nodded, and there was hardly any big reaction.
Madara reads and learns with Alena every morning, and in the afternoon he has nothing to do, so he moves freely in the mansion and finds things to do by himself.
After Hainan Hua tricked Madara into drinking at dinner on the first day, Madara dismantled 20 gas lamps fueled by spirit stones, 15 wall clocks, 10 folding fans, and 17 pocket watches that Hainan Hua had accidentally forgotten on the dining table.
These gas lantern wall clocks and pocket watches are all strange, and the only thing in common may be that they are all distributed near the Hainan Hua room.
At first, Hainan Hua thought that the child's revenge was childish and cute, but when this number gradually increased, the life span of the newly bought "successors" became shorter and shorter, and even Hainan Hua gradually did not dare to let his pocket watch out of his sight...... Hainan Hua finally couldn't help but find this little bastard and wanted to teach him a lesson.
