Volume 2 Survival in the Forbidden Land Chapter 41 Talking to Ziqing
At night, a strong wind blew outside the stone wall. A thick fog gradually emerged, with a hint of moisture. A group of people huddled in a corner around a campfire.
According to Xu Ziqing, the shed outside the stone wall was collapsed by them when they fought. And he had to take care of them all alone, and he had no time to take care of the shed. The inside of the stone wall is also a mess, and there are rubble and grass everywhere. Bonfires were blown around, igniting many places. If it weren't for Xu Ziqing's timely extinguishing of the fire, I was afraid that they would all have to be burned here, so everyone could only squat together tonight and suffer from the cold.
After placing everyone one by one, Xu Ziqing was able to go to the forest to pick up some firewood and relight the fire. In addition, I had to go to the lake to get some water, and finally cleaned the stone wall well, and I couldn't even eat a bite of food halfway. It was already afternoon after doing this, and Ling Chen had already woken up from time to time.
Everyone was awake, but everyone didn't look very good. After receiving Ling Chen's palm, he was in a coma for most of the day, and everyone was weak and buoyant and haggard.
Thankfully, there was a campfire to keep them warm, and it had been a long time since everyone had sat around like this. Although everyone was puzzled as to why Ling Chen suddenly attacked everyone, what was even more surprising was why Ling Chen could use spiritual power here. This is what everyone has seen with their own eyes, and Xu Ziqing has seen the duel between Ling Chen and Wang Qingyun. The means used by the two have already broken through the strength that Xu Ziqing foresaw, and the two elder brothers must have extraordinary abilities.
"I'm sorry. Ling Chen sat aside, feeling the temperature brought by the firelight, and said softly.
Although we have already discussed with Tong Zi and Cangdi, there will be no such situation in the future. But at this time, facing everyone, Ling Chen always felt guilty in his heart. It's all because of myself, and everyone is hurt because of it. If you cooperate with the boy generously, you will not have everything after that, and you will save a lot of energy.
Everyone didn't speak, and after Ling Chen finished saying this, he found that the atmosphere was a little silent for a while, and he didn't speak gloomily.
"Actually... Dust. ”
Patting Ling Chen's shoulder, Wang Qingyun comforted: "Everyone doesn't mean to blame you. ”
"If you have a problem, you can say it, and we'll help you figure it out, and it's better than having to bear it alone. Everyone in the world has some secrets, don't you see me too? Xu said that I can still fight with you, at least it proves that I am not an ordinary person, you say yes. And then you look at me, do I have any troubles or whatever? So, as long as it's a brother's doing, whether it's right or wrong, I'm going to support you. ”
The corners of Wang Qingyun's mouth were filled with a complacent smile, and everyone was also smiling and encouraging Ling Chen.
"Actually, I don't really agree with Brother Qingyun's words. ”
Xu Ziqing suddenly interjected in this matter, which was quite different from his personality.
"In doing things in the world, there is right and wrong, good and evil. As brothers and sisters, we should support and encourage each other. But those who are brothers, they should set an example for themselves, and exhort foolish brothers to know their way back, abandon evil and follow good, and distinguish right from wrong. Compare the heart to the heart, if Shaoqing will do things that violate the principles of heaven and morality and human ethics in the future, he also hopes that his brother will be a foolish brother and understand the right way. ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
According to Xu Ziqing, right is right, and wrong is wrong. Brothers should be like a mirror and correct their mistakes in a timely manner, rather than covering up and conniving. When you are an elder brother, you should always think that your younger brothers will follow your example and set a better example. In the end, Xu Ziqing himself said some serious words, but there is nothing to blame. After all, Xu Ziqing is an upright person, and he does things according to the rules. He had always complied with these things, but they were just more powerful proofs for what he had said before.
"Yes, nerd! I haven't read a book in vain for two years. Wang Qingyu sighed on the side.
"Did some people hear that?' 'Do you understand what that means?' Wang Qingyu said strangely on the side.
"You can, Xu's big head! Don't think that this stinky girl doesn't want to see me, so you will ride on my head and and pee. Tell you, one day is your brother, and the rest of your life is your brother. The merits of my body, you kid will never be able to learn in his life. Wang Qingyun said proudly.
"Hey, I almost threw up. Wang Qingyu covered his mouth exaggeratedly on the side, making a stomach upset.
"You're all going to have today!" Wang Qingyun gritted his teeth in anger and roared loudly.
There was originally a somewhat serious atmosphere, but when these people made such a fuss, they suddenly became much more cheerful.
"I have to tell you something. Ling Chen saw that the atmosphere was almost lively, so he said loudly.
When everyone heard this, their voices gradually became much quieter, and they heard what Ling Chen had to tell everyone.
"From here, all the way south, we can get out of here. Ling Chendao,
This is what he was going to tell everyone, but he never found the right time. Today's atmosphere is lively, and his heart is already over, Ling Chen is relaxed, and it is time to tell this good news to share with you.
Everyone's eyes widened when they heard this, they didn't expect Ling Chen to say such an amazing news, this is indeed great news.
"Really?" Wang Qingyun looked at Ling Chen in disbelief, but there was joy in his eyes that could not be concealed.
"I'm not sure either, but at least it's a viable path. Ling Chen said conservatively.
After the joy, everyone began to calm down and think about the problem, Ling Chen naturally will not be untargeted, if what he said is true, then how long will it take to walk all the way south to get out of here? It seems that Ling Chen also does not know.
"Actually, this is not the central area of the Eternal Demon Forbidden, so the danger is predictable, and our hopes of returning to civilization are growing. Ling Chen said.
Thinking of the sky I saw with Wang Qingyun, that was the real magic land. Looking at Wang Qingyun, both of them couldn't help but shudder, and it seemed that both of them thought of that scene in unison.
"Since Brother Chen has said so, I naturally believe him. Ling Yue said.
"Naturally, we believe it. Xu Ziqing nodded, thinking that this was a feasible path.
"Brother Chen is the best!" Wang Qingyu said playfully.
Ning Yuanru smiled lightly, naturally agreeing.
"This is the only good news I've heard since I've been here for more than a month. Wang Qingyun waved his hand and sat down on the ground steadily.
"Okay, let's rest for a few days and recharge our batteries. After a few days to start collecting food and resources, we will go all the way south and get out of here!" Ling Chen was a little excited, and said loudly and encouragingly.
"Good!" everyone responded with the same enthusiasm, and the interest was high.
"Ahh
"Hahahaha..." everyone laughed loudly and filled the ground.
Tonight was still Xu Ziqing's vigil, the wind outside the stone wall was very strong, and the water was heavy, so he didn't go out, sitting on the side and watching the fog of the outside world.
The campfire burned very brightly, and it was a little cool tonight, and everyone slept together. It's horizontal, and it looks very funny. Ling Chen pushed away the foot placed on his chest, which was Wang Qingyun's.
"Brother Chen?" Xu Ziqing saw that Ling Chen was up again, and his heart was a little afraid, and his voice trembled slightly.
"What's wrong?' Is there anything on me?" Ling Chen was a little confused, spread his hands, and looked around at himself.
"Oh, no. Xu Ziqing hurriedly waved his hand.
"Last night, Brother Chen was the same as today, he suddenly woke up, and then he started, so he was a little scared for a while. Xu Ziqing sneered a little, and secretly looked at Ling Chen's eyes from time to time, and his face looked a little unnatural. It seems that last night really left a deep impression on Xu Ziqing, so much so that he is still a little afraid.
Ling Chen smiled apologetically and slowly sat down beside Xu Ziqing.
"It's been hard for you these days. ”
Xu Ziqing has been keeping vigil alone at night these days, and he will sleep for a while when it is almost dawn. In addition, last night was also a big impact on Xu Ziqing, so Ling Chen wanted to talk to Xu Ziqing.
"It's all as it should be. Xu Ziqing said with some embarrassment.
"Each of them has their own thing to do in the team. Brother Chen, you know everything, and your ability is strong; Brother Qingyun seems to be lazy on the surface, but he has no heart, and his ability is no worse than Brother Chen; Sister Yuanru is diligent and has done many things for us, and we all rely on her to take care of her; Ling Yue has a cool head, can come up with ideas, and knows the details; Sister Qingyu... Sister Qingyu is also very powerful, the last rainy night, but she saved us. And I don't have any other specialties, so I'm very happy to be able to help everyone. Xu Ziqing grinned.
His smile looked a little pale and weak, but it was the most sincere expression of his heart at this moment. In fact, it was not that he was reluctant to speak, but that he thought about it a lot, and by the time he found the best answer to a question, his companions had already talked about another topic for a long time.
Ling Chen's heart warmed, this was the first time he had heard someone look at the characteristics of the entire team objectively. Naturally, everyone has their own characteristics and abilities.
"Ziqing's ability to seal and repair is on par with me, if you are so humble again, I can think that you are proud. Ling Chen quipped.
"And when you first arrived here, in that sea of flowers, you were alone to protect the two brothers and sisters Qingyun and Xiaoyu, and you were also in a state of madness. You are fully capable of protecting everyone, don't be presumptuous. ”
Ling Chen patted Xu Ziqing's shoulder, and put his arm on Xu Ziqing's shoulder.
Xu Ziqing lowered his head, and seemed to feel a little shy about the facts that Ling Chen had expounded.
"Shaoqing couldn't do anything, so he had to fall into the devil, and he was forced to need Brother Chen to wake up, which was really ashamed. ”
Ling Chen didn't say anything, his eyes drifted into the distance with empty eyes. It was pitch black, there was nothing to see, and it looked like it was going out of your mind. Seeing this, Xu Ziqing did not disturb Ling Chen, his eyes occasionally wandered, and he looked outside.
"Do you like Xiaoyu?" After a while, Ling Chen came back to his senses and asked Xu Ziqing in a somewhat ambiguous tone.
"Huh?" The sudden question made Xu Ziqing panic.
"No... No. Xu Ziqing hurriedly refused. His face flushed red for a moment, and he looked very nervous. He also looked around, as if someone knew his secret.
"It's all written on the face. Ling Chen laughed, but deliberately lowered his voice, not wanting to wake up everyone who was still sleeping.
The secret in his heart was known by others, and Xu Ziqing seemed to be a little embarrassed.
"Sister Yuanru doesn't like you yet. Xu Ziqing suddenly thought of something, and retorted a little proudly.
Hearing this, Ling Chen's smile gradually converged, withdrew his gaze from Xu Ziqing, and became a little silent for a while.
"Ah!" Xu Ziqing was taken aback, "I'm sorry Brother Chen, I didn't mean to." ”
"It's fine. Ling Chen smiled indifferently and said a little casually.
"They still remember you, too. Ling Chen thought to himself. He shook his head secretly and suppressed the ridiculous thoughts in his heart.
"If you like it, go after it. If you don't do it again, Qingyun said that when Xiaoyu is sixteen years old, she will be married. Ling Chen instigated.
"Good. Xu Ziqing nodded heavily, as if he had made up some determination.
"I'll be here for you in two days. Ling Chen said.
"It's okay, I'm used to it. Xu Ziqing said.
These days, he has been keeping vigil alone, and unconsciously, Xu Ziqing seems to have liked this feeling of loneliness. But the heart-to-heart conversation with Ling Chen just now seems to be very good, at least now he is in a very comfortable mood.
"Oh, yes. Ling Chen had already turned to leave, but suddenly remembered something.
"You don't blame you for that, and you don't have to blame yourself. Gain more experience and be more careful in the future. Ling Chen said. After saying that, he continued to return to his place and fell asleep. Wang Qingyun's stinky feet are indeed a little restless.
Hearing this, Xu Ziqing's whole person froze there. All these days, he blamed himself for the incident, for fear that someone would blame him. And today, Ling Chen took the initiative to speak out, and his heart was relaxed.
"Actually, I can't hide it, why don't I take the initiative to say it?" Xu Ziqing thought to himself.
Shaking his head helplessly, the smile on the corner of Xu Ziqing's mouth seemed to be bitter. But the boulder that had been pressing him in his heart finally fell at this moment. His mood was more relaxed than ever, and the darkness of the outside world became colorful because of it.
