Chapter XVII: The Promise of a Copper Coins
"Would you like a bite?" Qing Xi had inadvertently taken out the wine bag, drank a little by himself, and saw Karil, who was a little distracted, as he walked, so he nodded her shoulder and asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As if they had just let go of some burden, the two of them seemed more relaxed at this time, casually walking side by side on the way back to the city, and even the footsteps under the sunset were more leisurely.
"Wine? No, thank you" Kaliel doesn't like this thing very much, because she gets drunk easily, whether it's for the sake of the caster or the girl, it's not a good thing to get too drunk, let alone a girl who is a spellcaster.
In fact, she was still thinking about when she would come back and how to save Matthew, and was pulled back to her train of thought by his question.
"Where are you going tomorrow?" asked Qing Xi after taking another sip of wine, and asked as if he were at home.
"Where are you going tomorrow?"
It's not like Karil hasn't thought about it, but there's nowhere else to go. But staying here is not the way to go.
"Let's probably flee to the southeast for a while, and I'll talk about where I go."
Kahlil rubbed her hair helplessly, every time she did this action since she was reborn, she felt that the ears on her head were a little in the way.
"Run?" Qing Ci turned his head slightly, and his long hair shook with the movement of his head, "What are you running away?" Don't you go home? ”
Kahlil shrugged her shoulders "No way, I can't go back to my current home"
"Something to do with the people chasing you?" Kiyori pointed a finger out of his hand carrying the wine bag and pointed at Karil.
"Smart ......," Karil gave him a thumbs up.
Although it is said that she will not die if she goes back, it is difficult to say whether she will get pregnant.
"What about you?"
Carlil looked up, and the difference in height and the sunset behind Qing Ci made her squint and couldn't see Qing Ci clearly.
"Me? "Qing Xi is super casual, he has no constraints now, and he still has a few dollars in his hand, which is enough for him to play around, and it is not difficult for him to make some money."
"That's nice."
Karil was a little envious of this feeling.
"Where, though, is your home?" She asked curiously.
"My family?" Qing Xi picked up the wine bag, raised his head and poured a mouthful, "It's gone......"
Dwarf oil?
Kahlil looked surprised: "Gone? Your home? ”
"My family?" Kiyoshi glared at the mouth of the wine bag and looked at it, "Oh no, I just said the wine is gone." ”
Kahlil grinned, tempting to go up and kick Qingci or snatch the wine bag and slap him in the face.
"My home is far away, I guess I can't go back, in fact, it's almost like it's gone."
Kiyoshi shrugged his shoulders as if he was relaxed.
Far away from home, this reminds Carlil of the nest she was in the original world, with a comfortable big bed and unlimited power and drinking water, an air conditioner that is warm in winter and cool in summer, a computer that can be put in the room to play with pocket money when you get up, a small supermarket that can replenish food downstairs, and she eats and sleeps every day, and she doesn't have to worry about anything before school starts.
At that time, it was wonderful......
Kahlil sighed and said, "I can't go back." ”
The camp was not too far from the city, and when they looked at the city gate from afar, there was a little silence between the two, but it did not seem dull in a slow and relaxed atmosphere.
"Na...... I said, ......," Karil slowly picked up the topic.
"Huh?" Qing Xi had already put away the empty wine bag, his hands were empty, and he was a little unhappy that he didn't hold anything.
"What are you going to do in the future? You are here alone, an Oriental, and you have good swordsmanship, and you wander here as if you were aimless."
"Wandering?" Qing Ci smiled, "That's right, it's wandering." A long time ago, I also aimed to pursue swordsmanship, but that was all in the past, and now I'm just wandering aimlessly. ”
"How does this speech sound like some master of the hidden city," Carlil said, although the language translated here is not easy to express the meaning of the hidden city, but she thinks Qing Xi should be able to understand it.
"How do you know I'm not going to be a master?" Qing Xi smiled and wanted to touch Karil's dangling head, and then restrained this handy action in time.
Karil took a few quick steps forward, deliberately stopped, looked back and looked Qing Xi up and down seriously, and the glance in her eyes saw that Qing Xi was uncomfortable.
After watching it for a long time, Karil nodded and said, "Well, it seems to be a bit of a master." ”
Compared with a group of five big and three thick swordsmen here, Kahlil felt that the relatively handsome Oriental was simply a "martial arts master" with a face.
Perhaps, this guy is indeed a good choice? A thought flashed through Kalishel's mind, and she thought about it seriously.
"Do you know what I want to do? I would like to go back to my own home now, and if I can't, I can bring a group of friends and relatives and build a home of my own," and finally she thought for a moment, and added, "If I can find my relatives."
She can't remember how many years she has spanned when she came to this world, and Su Yu's family in the past...... Who knows if it's still there, and if you can go back, you don't know what era it is. The circles in Kaliel's eyes began to redden a little when she thought of her family, and even in her second life, these thoughts had never been extinguished.
"It doesn't sound too difficult" Qing Ci won't know what she really refers to, "The world is so big, can't you find a place for your little fox." ”
"I hope you're right, but at least, I'll have to get rid of the people who captured me."
The two of them were already almost into the city, and when it was almost dark, there was a rather stark contrast between the rather lively pedestrians in the city and the empty plains outside the city.
It's like if you enter the city like this, you will be like two fish swimming into the sea, and if you swim away, you will never meet again.
"Now, I said......" Kaliel pinched Qingci's sleeve and stopped outside the city gate.
"What's wrong?" Kiyoji followed her to a stop.
"Are you going to go out and travel the world alone, ronin?"
Kahlil asked with a slight increase in her voice.
"Ronin" Kiyoshi smiled, "I like this title"
"Answer my question"
Carlil emphasized again.
"That's right. Perhaps, you're right"
Qing Xi looked unrestrained, and expelled toxins with a relaxed face.
"So, do you understand my obsession with 'home' and my friends and family?" asked Carlil, "and at the same time do you share this obsession?" ”
"Of course I agree," Kiyoshi nodded.
"I knew you would!" Kahlil laughed, "I don't know what you've been through, you don't know what I've really experienced, I don't know why you left the path you pursued, and became like you are now walking aimlessly with this world, I don't know where you will go in the future, what you will do, what goals you will pursue, but if your hometown is really on another continent in the East, then you are here, in this large land under your feet, I will be the person you can meet who knows your hometown best." ”
Kiyoji looked at Karil, who suddenly began to speak at length, with some surprise, and began to really listen to what she had to say, looking at her serious expression.
"And then? Continue" Qing Xi listened with interest, and he could see from the contact in the past few days that this strange little fox did know a lot of things.
"I now want to have a home in this world, a place where I and my friends can be accommodated, and everyone is protected from intrusion, if I can't find it here, then I have to create a place like this, but I am obviously not capable of being alone, I need to have more helpers, and at the same time, I am also the only person here who can listen and discuss your hometown with you, and know the person you express when you look back, for this, I think you can agree with me to use your strength......"
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Kahlil said loudly, knowing that if the Oriental people here really wanted to buy him if they were really like a swordsman or a ronin, it would only be a momentary emotion of the sword.
"So what do you want, in exchange for my abilities?" What Qing Xi saw in Kaliel's eyes was infinite yearning and expectation.
At least, he didn't hate it......
"Qingxi!" Kahlil pricked up her ears and straightened up, "I, Karil Andris, now request a contract with you, hoping to find a home and hire you as my guard during this period, and the contract fee is ......"
She stretched out her right hand towards Qing Xi, and in her open palm lay a polished shiny copper coin, on which was roughly carved a Tai Chi pattern.
Seiji turned his back to the setting sun and watched the last rays of the sun slanting onto Kaliel's face.
"Homeland...... Is it? ”
Qing Xi laughed slightly.
"Okay, this contract, I took the ......"
A broad palm took the copper coin, a symbol of the contract, from Karil's petite hand.
