Chapter 36: A Bunch of Waste
The white horse named Nasa was running forward, and Shen Mengting's mind never relaxed.
Following the boy's direction, they ran through one street after another. In addition to the loud sound of horses' hooves, the boy kept turning his head. However, he was currently looking extremely frightened, and his hands and legs were tightly grasping the horse's back and neck.
This made Shen Mengting can't help but feel a little contempt: Why is a big man like this!
"That...... Can I ask some questions?"
"What's wrong?" Shen Mengting replied impatiently.
"Those two people just ......"
Suddenly, because there was some obstacle in front of the white horse, it trembled in disobedience. The forelimbs suddenly lifted and stepped forward, and the hind limbs stepped down again, and the white horse quickly stepped over one obstacle after another. But then the horse's back becomes very bumpy.
Shen Mengting didn't care, but Zhao Yu was so frightened that even the entire front body was tightly attached to the horse's back.
"What are you afraid of with me? I won't get you down. Shen Mengting angrily pulled Zhao Yu's back.
"Yes, I know, but ......"
"Okay, relax. β
Only then did Zhao Yu breathe a sigh of relief. However, he still couldn't relax, and the panic that could fall at any time had already made him a little shocked.
"That...... I just want to know some facts. In order to alleviate the fear in his heart, Zhao Yu tried to ask some questions.
"What do you want to know?"
"The two people just now are ...... Are they ......" Zhao Yu rolled his eyes and cautiously asked the question that had been held in his heart for a long time, "Are they...... Is it someone from the Sauron Empire?"
"Yes!"
is such a 'right' word, which completely disordered Zhao Yu's thinking. He dismissed the idea of a fluke, and collapsed completely with an 'oops'.
"Are you scared?"
"Yes, yes. Zhao Yu replied honestly. He rolled his eyes, then shook them in both directions, "That'...... I would like to make a few remarks. Actually, I ...... I didn't take the initiative to accept the old man's stuff, so ...... So I ......"
"What the hell do you want to say?" Shen Mengting waved the reins in her hand. When she saw an intersection, she put her elbow against Zhao Yu's back again, "Hey, boy, it's a fork in the road, quickly point out where to go next?"
Seeing Zhao Yu pointing in the direction of the left, Shen Mengting followed and pulled the reins to the left.
"Actually...... I just wanted to say ...... I'm just a commoner. Those major national affairs have nothing to do with me! So...... So ......"
Shen Mengting glanced at Zhao Yu's back in front of her, and deliberately said loudly: "Well, I know." Rest assured, I won't let you get too deep into this matter. Just go to your house and take your things off, and I'll leave right away!"
"Oh!" Zhao Yu relieved himself a little.
"Really!" Shen Mengting began to touch her lips, "I still swore not to give up if I didn't know what happened, and I shouted that I must know my identity and everything before I can hand over the documents to me." Now that you know it all, are you going to try your best to get involved?
Nassa ran very fast, and after a few pointers from the boy, they finally came to a tiled house somewhere.
"This is my home. Zhao Yu pointed to the house.
The white horse ceased to run, but slowed down, took a few random steps on the road with his four legs, and then completely stood on his feet.
"Yes, that's good. Go to your house now and get your stuff out. When you leave it to me, you won't have to be burdened anymore. Shen Mengting first crossed her arms, and then suddenly spread out to both sides.
"Really?" Zhao Yu straightened his upper body and looked deeply at Shen Mengting behind him.
Shen Mengting could see what the boy was worried about, so she shot a firm gaze at him: "Don't worry! As long as you hand over the things, you won't have anything to do with this matter anymore." If those Sauronites find you again, you can simply say give it to me. One thing you can rest assured is that they won't hurt civilians casually. β
"Really?" Zhao Yu was skeptical.
"Yes. The so-called elites of the Sauron Empire have always disdained to harm civilians. I know them, they have no interest in trampling a few ants to death. β
"Okay. Zhao Yu immediately prepared to dismount.
However, because the horse's back was so high above the ground that he couldn't even touch the ground with his toes. I saw one of his legs dangling in mid-air for a long time, but he just couldn't touch the ground. He continued to pour his body for this, and the force continued to explore downward.
Shen Mengting couldn't see it anymore. She sighed helplessly. After getting off the horse first, she reached out and hugged Zhao Yu.
After Zhao Yu landed, he paused for some time. He made sure he was fully on his feet before he said 'thank you'.
Shen Mengting waved her hand angrily: "You go get something quickly! Time is very urgent." β
"Oh, got it. Zhao Yu shrunk his neck and ran while nodding.
"Really, how can there be such a man in the world?" Shen Mengting didn't want to look at the boy anymore.
She had heard it earlier, saying that the men of their Saran Kingdom were no longer good, and they were basically cowardly goods. Today she was a complete feast for her eyes. It is not only this boy, Shen Mengting had not felt any so-called power in the contact with other students in the trial ground before.
'A bunch of waste' - this is probably Shen Mengting's annotation to the men in the town.
Zhao Yu trotted to his own tiled house. He also shouted 'Mommy' in his heart, thinking that he could finally see his mother. However, just as he pushed the door to enter, he noticed that there seemed to be a slight sense of strangeness.
The door to the home is open and ......
Zhao Yu raised his head and looked around at the whole scene of the tiled house. I really think it's strange, it's obviously the house he has lived in for many years. But he felt that the house was a little unfamiliar. Even, he still has the feeling that the house has been completely replaced.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Shen Mengting shouted in the distance.
Zhao Yu turned around and said, 'It's nothing', and walked towards the house. Hopefully, he was thinking too much, and the door was open because his mother forgot to close it, and he kept praying in his heart.
However, the moment he stepped into the living room, he was completely stunned by the sight in front of him.
The living room was a mess, full of scenes that had been turned over by people's rooms. Broken rice bowls, chopsticks scattered all over the floor, cabinet doors that are halfway open, and ......
Zhao Yu took a few steps forward, his expression full of surprise. The cabinet where the spirit tablets were placed in their house was also devastated and devastated. Many of the spirit cards were either knocked down or fell straight to the ground.
Moreover, it was not as simple as being turned over, Zhao Yu could detect pools of frozen ice from some of the surrounding walls, including the cabinet where the spirit cards were placed.
How could there be ice at home? Zhao Yu stared at him and opened his mouth halfway, and the sudden breath also made him take a small step back.
Suddenly, Zhao Yu thought of the two Saurons. No, it should be those two magicians of the Sauron Empire, to be exact. The tricks they used, as well as the scenes they made during the fight, all turned back deeply in Zhao Yu's mind.
Zhao Yu quickened his breathing, although he was trying his best to deny a fact, the reality was in front of him, and he couldn't escape anything.
Those two magicians had come to his home beforeβa judgment that Zhao Yu didn't want to admit was taking root in his brain. This judgment stimulated every nerve in Zhao Yu and gave him a headache.
If it was what he thought, what would the two magicians do at his house, and why did they go to the proving ground to look for him when they came to the house, instead of patiently waiting at home?
Zhao Yu was becoming more and more uneasy in his heart. At this time, he thought of his mother.
"Mommy, Mommy. Zhao Yu shouted out of thin air in the living room.
But the successive shouts were not answered, and Zhao Yu wanted to go out to the backyard to have a look. The room was so quiet that it seemed like I could hear even my own breathing.
However, just as he was about to walk out the door, he caught a glimpse of a shadow. He blinked a few times, his gaze slowly drifting away from the shadows.
Afterwards, Zhao Yu saw the scene that didn't look like what he saw. He held his breath for a moment, and a stream of heat rushed to his head. He didn't want to believe his eyes at first, so he widened his mouth and walked towards the shadows. He squinted vigorously, hoping that what he would see was fantasy. But it was all in vain, and the tragedy was a fact.
The body of her mother, Sun Yanli, lay in front of the room, her limbs spread out uncontrollably. And in front of her abdomen, there was a deadly freeze.
"Mom!" Zhao Yu suddenly shouted.
Zhao Yu quickly came to his mother's corpse and picked up the first half of her life, "Mom! Mom!"
Zhao Yu kept shouting. But no matter how loud he screamed, no matter how violently he shook his mother's body. He couldn't get a single response.
The mother was dead, and even the body was starting to stiffen.
Zhao Yu snuggled his mother's head to his chest in pain, and the two rows of tears in his eyes slid down like a waterfall.
"Mom...... Yes...... Ah......h
The heart-rending shouts alarmed Shen Mengting outside the house, and she hurriedly ran in to see what was going on.
As soon as she entered the door, she felt that something was wrong. The aura of magic in this room was so severe that it was clear that a magician had cast spells in it. She looked around the living room, and a thought spurted through her head.
Don't......
When a mage's mana is stronger, the longer the aura of the interpretation will remain. Shen Mengting noticed that it was a masterpiece of a very powerful magician. So she highly suspected that Zhang Zhijie had been here before.
But...... Shen Mengting quickly turned her head with a loud cry.
She was stunned by the sight of the boy holding the corpse of a dead woman in agony.
"Mom...... Yes...... Mommy ......"
Judging by the crying, the old woman should be the boy's mother. Shen Mengting instantly understood what was going on, she only felt a little dizzy, so she held on to the wall next to her to prevent it from falling.
Unexpectedly...... Unexpectedly, Sauron's people would actually attack civilians, and Shen Mengting's heart was churning. At the moment, her mind is also extremely confused. She sympathized with the mother and son, but was more indignant at the innocent wounded by the Saurons.
"Mom...... Mother ...... "Zhao Yu is still trying to swap mothers, but it is all in vain.
His mother could no longer open her eyes and look at him, and she would never say a word to him again.
"Mom...... Wake up!"
Tears continued to pour down, and Zhao Yu's face had been irrigated by the red tide. He touched his mother's face excitedly and shouted, "Mother, please wake up! I am your son, and my son is by your side! Wake up!"
These are all Zhao Yu's words from the heart. He really wished that his mother could stand up again, and he hoped that everything was a dream now. As soon as I woke up from the dream, everything was back to normal. Then his mother would smile and wait for him to get up, and she would do her best to prepare brunch for him. Of course, the mother's reprimand is also indispensable.
Speaking of reprimanding, Zhao Yu was willing to have his mother scold him a few more words. He would rather his mother reprimand him all the time than his mother lying down so coldly.
"Mom...... Yes...... You don't want to go...... Wake up!"
Zhao Yu wiped his eyes with his arm and began to shake his mother's body again.
"It's too much, even civilians will do it. Where has the arrogance of those Saurons gone?" Shen Mengting sighed on the side.
Suddenly, she thought that she still had important things to do, so she trotted to Zhao Yu's side.
Zhao Yu was currently only immersed in the grief of losing his mother, and did not observe even the slightest change in his surroundings. He hugged his mother, and he trembled unconsciously. There was a mournful scream in his throat, and it made people feel like their throats were almost hoarse.
Shen Mengting slowly squatted down, and she gently pushed Zhao Yu: "I'm sorry, what about that 'thing'?
The first push was not answered, and Shen Mengting had no choice but to push the second time. When Zhao Yu's body reacted, the tearful eyes also stared at Shen Mengting.
Shen Mengting stretched out her hand at him: "The 'thing' that the old man gave you, can you give it to me first?"
Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst out into a roar: "Hey, didn't you say that those people wouldn't attack us civilians? Why? Why would my mother ...... She will ......" Zhao Yu hugged his mother tightly again, and also pasted his head together.
Shen Mengting was shocked by the roar, and she slowly lowered her head: "Yes...... I'm sorry! I'm ...... I didn't expect them to be so ruthless......"
She was also very annoyed now, and clenched her fists and smashed a few punches on the ground. However, just after the annoyance, she still put her hand on Zhao Yu's shoulder, "I know that you are very painful and sad now, and it doesn't seem like bothering you for anything." But...... But now there is one very important thing. It's what the old man gave you, I hope you can give it to me right away. Because that's the fate of a country......! I beg you now, give me something!"
Shen Mengting said very sincerely, but Zhao Yu's mind had reached the point where he couldn't listen to anything. He hugged his mother straight up, saliva sliding down from his sluggishness.
"Mom...... I'm sorry...... I can't be filial to you anymore. β
Shen Mengting sighed when she saw this. She pursed her lips, and when she lifted it again, the word 'firm' already flashed in her eyes. She grabbed Zhao Yu's shoulder with one hand and shook it vigorously:
"I'm sorry. Time is running out right now, and I know you're sad too. But I really have to beg you, give me those 'things', which are very, very important, and they cost tens of thousands of lives. Think about it, it is very painful for you to lose your mother, but if the 'thing' falls into the hands of the enemy, then there will be many children who will have to suffer the pain of losing their parents just like you!"
Zhao Yu seemed to have a little reaction, and he looked around blankly, as if he was looking for something.
"Where the hell is the thing?"
"In the backyard. I buried it in the backyard, and you dig it out yourself. After that, Zhao Yu fell into the nostalgia of his mother again. His face was as distorted as he could, and tears and snot washed his face all over the place.
Shen Mengting sighed lightly and ran outside.
As soon as I got out of the house, I noticed that there was something strange about the sky. What had been sunny was now gloomy. A few dark clouds dotted the sky, giving the impression that it was about to rain.
This kind of weather has always been what Shen Mengting hates the most. She walked along the wall to the backyard.
The most conspicuous thing in the backyard is a simple fence made of wooden fences. According to the kid, the 'stuff' should be buried here.
But there is still some area in this backyard, where should I start digging? Shen Mengting walked to the fence.
She wondered if she should go back and ask the boy where he was buried. However, when I thought of the child's sad appearance, I didn't know how to communicate with him.
"Alas, that's really nerve-wracking!" Shen Mengting knocked on her head.
But the moment her eyes fell, she saw something unusual in the dirt somewhere inside the fence. In the cracked dirt, there was also an area that had clearly been freshly turned.
Could it be that this is the place where the kid said to bury the 'thing'? Shen Mengting walked quickly towards that place.
She first stomped her foot on the dirt, then crouched down and began to dig. Directly pulled out the giant sword behind him, and within three or two efforts, he could find that there was indeed something underneath. Shen Mengting hurriedly increased the strength of digging the hole, and she used her sword to constantly stir up the soil.
Soon, a long object appeared, embedded in the dirt like a tube. Shen Mengting looked at it and directly put her hand into the mud pit. When she pulled out the long object with all her might, she realized that it was a staff.
"Frost Staff. Shen Mengting immediately recognized the name of the staff.
Now, she could be sure that something important must be buried inside. She began digging harder, and pulled out a number of mage books and a black-covered document bag.
The books and everything were thrown aside, and Shen Mengting only took the black covered document bag and looked at it for a long time. Later, she discovers that the file bag has been opened.
There seems to be some foreboding. Sure enough, after she pulled out the documents inside, she realized that they were all blank papers.
Did you get a bag dropped? Shen Mengting's heartbeat was accelerating. But just as she stroked the surface of the white paper with her hand, she suddenly showed a relaxed expression. She stroked the other sheets of paper one after another, until the corners of her mouth were hooked.
"Yes, that's right. These are the documents. She nodded in satisfaction.
After stuffing the documents back into the file bag, Shen Mengting stuffed them into her clothes.
This 'thing' finally arrived in her hands, and Shen Mengting suddenly felt a lot more relieved. She picked up the mage's book and the staff called the Frost Staff.
These things are all relics of Uncle Yang Jiening! Shen Mengting carefully folded the books one by one, and then clamped the staff under the armpit of her left hand.
Taking a deep breath into the air in front of her, Shen Mengting thought that although the 'thing' had now been transferred to her, there was still a considerable distance from the completion of the task.
So I still can't relax. With this thought, Shen Mengting left this backyard.
