Chapter 250: The Old Man's Sorrow
The trees are shady, the grass is green, and the green that can be seen in the eye creates the pattern of the village. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Animals and wild fruits are the most indispensable on the jungle island, and the villagers are busy drying the harvested fruits and sorting the fur of their prey.
When Hai Shijun and Mu Yuqing and his party appeared in front of the villagers, they all thought that they were gods descending from the earth, and as soon as Mu Yuqing and the others opened their mouths to find a place to live, the villagers enthusiastically invited them to live, as if they wanted to touch their fairy spirit.
The villagers' houses are also unique, some are located on the ground, some are built on trees, and the four seasons of Changchun make their houses perfectly inlaid with the trees, as if they were one.
Ling'er and Xi'er like it very much, and they shuttle through the forest happily, occasionally seeing some fresh flowers and eating them unceremoniously, fortunately there are more flowers nearby, otherwise with the speed of the two of them eating flowers, I am afraid that the entire jungle will be eaten bare in just half a day.
Mu Yuqing and the others finally chose a larger tree house to live in temporarily, the owner of the tree house was an old man, but Mu Yuqing also found that there were more elderly people in this village, so he didn't care much.
The island of the jungle is a magical place, the villages are far away from each other, but they are not worried about not being able to transmit messages, the speed method of the island of the jungle can be mastered by almost all the residents who live here, as long as they are in the jungle, it is their world.
Mu Yuqing stood in the wooden house, looking at the scenery outside the window in a daze, the tree house was built on a very high position, from here you can see the scenery in the distance through the dense leaves.
There was a long rattan ladder hanging outside the wooden house, and the owner of the wooden house was going home through this long rattan ladder, but Mu Yuqing and they could walk in the air as long as they had luck, so when they flew to the tree house, the owner of the tree house was even more convinced that the group of people he was entertaining were the gods.
"Hehe, distinguished guests, here is the fruit of our jungle island, please try it!" the owner of the treehouse cordially agreed.
Mu Yuqing came back to his senses and saw that the long table was already full of all kinds of fresh fruits, looking at this situation, it should be that the owner of the tree house had borrowed a lot from the other villagers in the village, otherwise it would be impossible to gather so many kinds of fruits in such a short time.
"Rest for a while, old man, we can't eat so much. Mu Yuqing smiled slightly and replied politely.
The owner of the tree house was an old man over seventy years old, and looking at Mu Yuqing's smile, he looked a little flattered.
"I wonder what about the rest of the old man's family?" asked Long Yi.
Looking at the age of the old man and the area of his house, the old man does not seem to live alone, Long Yi guessed that the old man should still have children or family.
"This... Alas, you are distinguished guests, and I should not have told you these things, but since you have asked, I will tell you..." Actually, I still have three sons, the three sons have not yet started a family, my third son is only seventeen years old this year, the eldest and the second have nothing to do with me at home hunting and making a living, and the third son was selected by the monarch to be sent to a place called the Academy of Arts, but there seems to be something wrong in that place, and the third son has not been there since he came back. ”
The old man said and took out a string of jade beads from his arms, and gently held them in his hand like a baby.
"This jade bead was given to me by San'er, saying that this thing symbolizes honor, San'er is very precious this jade bead, I still remember that he proudly handed this jade bead to me that day, saying that he will definitely get ahead in the future, take me out to see the scenery outside the island of the jungle..."After the old man finished speaking, he silently wiped his tears.
Mu Yuqing could see at a glance that this string of jade beads was the red jade beads of the Academy, and looking at this amount, it was very likely that the old man's son had obtained a reward through trial.
Since the disappearance of the students, the doors of the academy have been closed, and the tutors have long been able to hide and hide, and many students who have managed to squeeze into the academy with their own strength have also suspended their studies because of the closure of the academy, and it seems that the old man's son is one of the victims.
"Actually, even if San'er doesn't have any skills, I won't dislike him, as long as the three children can live a safe and stable life, even if my wish is met, but who knows..."
"A few days ago, a group of people who came from nowhere, they were strong, and they focused on arresting the young strong men in the village, and in just a few days, they arrested most of the young people in the village, and none of my three sons were spared. Clenching his fists, the old man was grief-stricken, from the first time he saw Mu Yuqing and them, he looked forward to them in his heart, and he might be able to rescue his three sons, so when he invited them, the old man was even more enthusiastic.
Hai Shijun slowly explained to Mu Yuqing from his state of mind: "There are many mechanisms where the master buried the treasures, and I estimate that the strong men in this village must have been robbed by Shenluo, and I want them to use them as meat shields to break through the layers of mechanisms. ”
"Such a big thing, doesn't your monarch care?" After listening to Hai Shijun's words, Mu Yuqing knew in her heart, but she didn't understand how the monarch of the island of the jungle could watch his subjects being arrested, could he just ignore it?
"The girl doesn't know, our monarch also has his difficulties, our prince Zixuan also disappeared not long ago, the monarch has been worried about this matter, the second prince Zishu is a very ambitious person, as soon as the news of Prince Zixuan's disappearance came out, the prince Zishu wanted to usurp the throne in a certain dynasty, and our monarch is now also lacking skills. The old man sighed, the second prince Zishu is a very violent person, if he is made the king of the island of the jungle, I am afraid that all the people will fall into fire and water.
Zi Xuan is not on the island of the jungle because Zi Xuan is now left in the Spirit Mountain, and it is as if he is isolated in the Spirit Mountain, so it is no wonder that the monarch of the island of the jungle does not know Zi Xuan's whereabouts.
On the one hand, the son who wants to usurp the throne of a certain dynasty, and on the other hand, the people who are gradually disappearing, the situation of the monarch of this jungle island is really not ordinarily difficult.
Mu Yuqing looked at the old man's sad appearance, and felt a little unbearable, the old man had a total of three sons, and the construction of such a wide tree house must have been in consideration of being able to live with his sons, if Shenluo took the lives of his three sons at once, the old man would definitely be heartbroken.
"Don't worry, we will go to the treasure hiding place tomorrow, and we will definitely take the treasure away in front of Shenluo, and destroy the mechanism by the way, and the old man's sons will be fine." Hai Shijun secretly persuaded Mu Yuqing in his state of mind.
