Chapter 2 The old man chatters

"Boy, wake up"

As soon as Ling Luo raised his eyelids, an obscene-looking face came into view. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ling Luoqiang held back his exclamation, calmly glanced at the old man, looking at the obscene smile and the flying eyebrows, no matter how you look at this person, it is very improper.

Zero hesitated for two seconds and asked, "Where is this??"

"Hey, kid, you're asking someone, let me tell you, I'm one of the three saints of the Bauhinia Empire, let me tell you, I think back then, I fought the Seven Holy Monarchs of the Big Dipper alone, I beat them to the ground, and ......"

The old man spat on the stars flying all over the sky, and talked about his glorious past.

"I think I seemed to be asking this?? Be?? Which" Zero said with exasperation.

"Oh young man, I see that your bones are amazed, and the eight veins of the strange meridians are unimpeded. You are fully qualified to be my brother Long's little brother, let me tell you, the Qinglou in this imperial capital is a good place, and that girl is a ......."

"I said, "Where is this?" said Zero, who finally couldn't take it anymore and yelled at the old man.

"Oh boy, do you know how much you will hurt my young mind by doing this! Even if it doesn't hurt, it's not good to be angry with yourself......"

The old man clutched his chest, his face full of grief, as if he had abandoned him.

Scattered felt full of black lines, listening to the old man's ink, this was worse than killing him.

?? Scattered get up, pull the curtain and go out.?

Suddenly, the old man's angry voice came from behind him

"Let me tell you, it's not easy for me to save you, do you know, just now, just now, no, it was last night, you were carried away by a god-level flame horse, I saved you! I fought with it for 3,000 rounds, and it was torn open by me."

Stunned: It turns out that he saved me, he was really reckless, and he was like this to his savior.??

Scattered closed the curtain and hugged his fists

"I'm sorry, I was reckless"??

The old man pulled Scatter to his seat and said with his arms around Scatter's neck

"My old man doesn't need these sour etiquette, just call me big brother, from now on, I will cover you"

The old man slapped his chest with a snapping sound, and there was a lot of momentum that he would play tricks if he didn't become your eldest brother.

Zero Luo couldn't help but laugh dumbly, looking at the old man in front of him, he felt that the whole person was floating.

"What are you doing?"

Scattered looked at the old man whose nose kept twitching and asked.?

?“ Don't talk, hmm~ little brother."

"My name is Zero"??

?“ Hmm~ scattered, did you ask what the smell is?"

Ling Luo looked at the old man who was already shining with eyes, and shook his nose a few times. But I didn't ask about any special taste.

"It's wheat, it smells like wheat, stop!

The carriage creaked to a halt.?

The old man grabbed his scattered arm and rushed out.

Outside the carriage, the harsh sunlight shone on the earth, and the golden sunlight was like fine wine, and the mellow feeling was intoxicating.

The sun was scorching, and on both sides of the road, the ripe grain was so hot that it was bent over and its head bowed.

Grasshoppers are as numerous as blades of grass, this wild wheat is mixed with some rye, and frogs make faint, noisy chirps in the reeds on the shore.

The breath of sunlight shuttling through the crevices. Comfortable, long. The fragrance of wheat fills the air, filling the heavens and the earth with emptiness.

Under the sun, it was an old man with glowing eyes, muttering that he was so hungry that his saliva almost spilled out of the corners of his mouth.

The old man touched the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

?“ Hiss~ This wheat is fragrant, the kid will cover me, we will have dinner at night"?

Looking at the old man with black lines on his face.?? But although I don't want to, my stomach has agreed.??

The old man turned his fighting spirit, attached it to his hand, loaded the eagle claws in his hand, and pulled out all the wheat with a strong suction, and then pressed it with his other hand, and the wheat seemed to be ground by a stone.

Out of nowhere, the old man pulled out a large bag, and the flour was wrapped in the old man's vindictive spirit and sent into the bag.

?“ Quick, go!"??

The two of them got into the carriage as fast as they could.?? And the horse also seemed to know that the two people behind him were in a hurry, and spread his hooves and galloped.

The carriage was walking, the scorching sun was slowly setting into the mountains to the west, and a crescent moon was like a white pear blossom, blooming peacefully in the light blue night sky.

The night sky is full of stars, and the moon is like a fishing boat, as if sailing in a wide silver river.

The carriage finally stopped, and the moon was shining brightly and gently, and the soft moonlight set off a calm and peaceful night.

The light of the moon fell on the trees, and they fell mottled black shadows, scattered like broken strips hanging on the trees.

It's not far from Qingfeng City, and it's estimated that it will be there at noon tomorrow. The old man said truthfully.

The two lit a fire. The old man picked up the bag of flour and threw it into the sky, his left hand using this fighting spirit to peel the flour out.

Pinch with your right hand to condense the water vapor in the air, blend it into the flour, and whip it repeatedly.

"Boy, go to the carriage and take out a slate"?

Scattered walked into the carriage and rummaged for a long time, and found a slab, but it didn't seem to be a stone slab, it seemed to be a salt slab.

?“ Old man, this is a salt board, right?"

The old man said without replying.

?“ That's a slate, but there's a layer of salt on it, otherwise it's tasteless to bake something on it, boy, put it on the fire"?

Do it piecemeal, and don't forget to sneer: I really know how to enjoy.

"Boy, I'm going to catch a demon beast, don't walk around, this realm is not particularly peaceful"??

?? Scattered looked at the fire in a daze.

The sight was wonderful: a round, reddish circle of light fluttered around the fire, as if it had been blocked by darkness and had stopped there.

The flames blazed, sometimes casting a rapid reflection on the outside of the aperture, and the thin tongue of the fire licked the bare Fuso branches, and disappeared at once;

Then, a long, sharp shadow suddenly invaded, reaching the place of fire: darkness was fighting against light.

Sometimes, when the flames were weaker and the circle of death shrank, the flames, like broken strips of red cloth, shook in the air.

A large column of yellow-brown smoke spiraled upward.

Scattered slightly away from the fire, his face reflecting the firelight, showing a bewitching color.??

"Do you like fires too?"

A voice suddenly came from Scatter's side.

??“ Who!"

Scattered nerves tensed all of a sudden, and he glanced around, but there was nothing but darkness all around.

Scattered withdrew his gaze, suspecting that he had misheard: No, no. Scattered's heart tightened suddenly.

The horse over there was looking at him with a smile on his face.

?? Scattered looked at the horse, and after half a ring, asked, "Are you talking again?"?? The horse head nodded "yes"??

Zero has not seen many soul beasts that can talk, very few to be exact, but it is really the first time he has seen an ordinary horse that can talk.??

The horse muttered to himself

"Humans are truly a race of destiny. When human beings have fire, they have the basic power to survive and develop. Mankind survived by using fire to drive away fierce beasts and resist the cold with fire, and by using fire to open up land, build homes, cook food with fire, and bid farewell to raw meat that was difficult to swallow, human beings were able to develop and grow with fire. Human beings no longer drink blood, and from then on, they have learned that the food cooked by fire is more delicious and nutritious. ”

Then he looked up at Scatter and asked

"What do you think fire symbolizes?"?

However, there is no answer yet. The old man's voice came from near Yuan,

"Boy, look what good I've hunted, pufferfish!",

The old man sat by the fire, talking about what had just happened. Scattered looked back at the horse.

It's grazing with its head down, and everything just now seems to be an illusion.?

"Boy, what do you want!The world is big, the meal is the biggest, hurry up, or I'll eat it all!"?

"Coming"??

When he had eaten and drunk, the old man took out a few hides from the carriage, laid them out, lay down on them, and fell asleep slowly.

Scatter put one animal skin underneath and one on his body, and the starry sky seemed to be in front of his eyes, as if he could reach out and touch it.

There is not a single cloud in the sky on a starry night in front of you, and the deep blue sky is full of diamond-like stars.

Several large and bright stars hung in the night sky, as if people from the sky were carrying lanterns to patrol the vast space.

The starry sky is like a piece of yarn, large and small, dotted with diamonds, which are sprinkled with diamond powder and spread on the sky.

With the surrounding of the starlight and the crackling sound of the fire, I fell asleep quietly
