Chapter 83: Family Bonding

In the dense forest, under a towering tree of more than ten zhang, Yixiu and others surrounded a bonfire in a triangular shape.

The warm light of the fire, emanating through the dark forest, illuminated their bodies and pulled down their long backs.

At this moment, David Moreau, the new apprentice of Yixiu, was lowering his head, constantly rubbing the corners of his clothes with his hands, the bonfire baked her face a little red, as if she was a little shy, and kept opening her mouth and closing her mouth, she had something to say but couldn't say anything when the words came to her mouth.

Seeing this, Ichixiu didn't speak, he took the branch he had picked up, poked the firewood in front of him, and turned his head to look at David Mokodao, who was a little thoughtful.

"Donor, hurry up and eat, or you may be hungry tonight!!"

Whoosh~, after a crisp sound.

The leg of mutton that was steaming in David Moko's hand was taken away by a black shadow.

Then, the other two legs of lamb sandwiched on the bonfire were also missing.

"Kitten, return the leg of mutton of the two donors immediately, or there will be no bamboo shoots to eat in the future, do you hear?" shouted as he turned his head sharply to look in a certain direction in the dense forest.

Immediately, in the dense grass, there was a crisp burst of broken branches.

With two black circles under his eyes, the giant panda with three legs of mutton grabbed by his fat flesh and crawled out of it.

From his new Chihuahua panda's tearless eyes, Ichiyu dragged its big ears with two fingers, snatched the two big leg of lamb it had secretly snatched, one in each hand, and handed it to the brother and sister again.

Who knew that David Moko waved his hand to reject Ikyu's kindness, and asked with a sad face.

"My lord, I'll tell you a story first, I don't know if you'd like to hear it!"

"Brother~", Wujing looked shocked and lost his voice.

This brother and sister are strange, and it seems that the story they are going to tell the poor monk next must be very interesting, Ichiyu thought to himself.

He looked at the two siblings looking at each other, and Ikyu immediately smelled something wrong in the air, but not being intimidated in case of trouble is the real Ikyu, Ikyu raised his eyebrows and laughed.

"I want to hear it in detail, the poor monk likes to tell stories the most on weekdays, but he prefers to listen to stories, I hope the story of the lost owner is very interesting!"

Indeed, the next story is indeed very interesting, so interesting that I began to doubt life after a break.

I saw David Moko reach out and hold his sister Wujing (David Morrow) because of the agitated mood, a little trembling hand, and began to slowly tell the story that belonged to their brother and sister:

Once upon a time there was a young man named David who grew up in an ancient city-state, and the name of that city-state was Quicksand City, and there was a river next to it called Quicksand River.

The river stretches for thousands of miles, enclosing the city of quicksand, and there is only one trunk road longer than a mile long, which can communicate inside and outside.

The people in this city, if they go out of the city to prepare, need to prepare a road, because this river is very magical, goose feathers can't float, and the reeds are fixed and sinking.

And in the four seasons of this year, there will be nearly half a year because of the surge of the river, resulting in the road inside and outside the interchange, completely flooded by quicksand, the whole city will be surrounded by the quicksand river, no livestock can approach, can not come out, once because of this reason starved to death many people, and people are powerless for this natural disaster.

And David is a person who grew up on the edge of the quicksand river, and at the same time mastered the control of quicksand, and can help people successfully shuttle through the quicksand river.

Because of this talent, after he grew up, he successfully became the lord of Quicksand City, and was given the status of a nobleman by the king of Hehuo Country at that time - David.

At this point, David Moko paused, looked at the smiling Yixiu, took a deep breath, and began to talk again.

Let's say that David, who became a nobleman, was not idle until he breathed his last breath, and in his long fifty-year career as the city lord of Liu Sha City, he has always acted as the defender and guide of Quicksand Cheng.

Quicksand City, a small city-state with a population of only tens of thousands, developed into a large city with a population of more than 300,000, and he experienced countless political struggles, mutinies, and wars along the way.

In this way, for those who became great, but after that, they were slandered as rebellion by people with intentions, and the entire David family was condemned as "sinners" by the then king of Hehuo, and the David family, which was at the height of the extinction of the family, has since declined.

Then later, the descendants of David's family endured humiliation and finally fulfilled the ancestry of their ancestors and successfully rehabilitated David, but more than 50 years did pass.

But more than 50 years of vicissitudes have passed, and the David family fled back then, the wounded, and the dead, leaving only the old and weak, women and children, and they can only wait for others to bully.

"Brother, don't say it", Wujing actually doesn't usually like to cry, she is stronger than she looks on the surface, but in the face of the tragic experience of her ancestors and her powerless fate, she still cried!!

David Moko was still telling the story, and the expression on his face was getting more and more serious, and you slowly tasted a hint of it in it.

According to David Moko's next story, there is such a thread in the big topic.

Today's David family has been wronged because of their ancestors, although the family grievances have been rehabilitated, as the head of the new generation, David Mok's brother and sister's grandfather David Morin, on the surface, is still a nobleman, and he was also successfully elected as the city lord of Quicksand City in the city-state meeting three years ago, but he is just a puppet.

For no other reason, maybe the David family was strong enough in the past, but today they are just a declining aristocrat with no power, no people, and no background.

A declining family, because of the grievances of the past, received a lot of compensation and rewards from the Grand Duke of Magnolia, as well as the current king, but also offended many old nobles, the David family has to beware of these old bastards robbing money, but also sandwiched between them to survive, if you don't fight back, I'm afraid it won't be a few years, and the people of the David family may be even more miserable than before.

David Moreau, who is now the third apprentice of Wujing, as the smartest, most educated, and most "gentle" woman in the family, has become a victim of the family.

There is a story about the rise and fall of a family, the rise and fall of a country, and the feelings of a poor woman are never considered.

This sentence was slatted out of his mouth by David Moko gritting his teeth.

Because of this sentence, he was lamenting his sister, in order to solve the family's predicament, the grandfather of their two siblings, the contemporary head of the David family, Viscount David Morin, issued a city lord order to the surrounding eleven cities.

There is only one content in the Lord's Order, and David Morin has appointed her own granddaughter David Morrow as his heir to the title, and will inherit his title after his death, as well as his status as Lord of the City. At the same time, invitations were sent to all the noble young talents of the surrounding city-states to participate in a competition in Quicksand, and the winner of the competition would marry his granddaughter, David Moreau.

As soon as this order came out, countless city-state nobles stayed up all night, and in just three days, hundreds of nobles participated in the most interesting competition ever.

Because many nobles know that being able to successfully marry David Moreau is equivalent to giving the family an extra viscount title, as well as a whole hereditary city-state.

The wealth and political capital behind it became the biggest driving force for more nobles to pursue feverishly.

In the same way, the House of David is seeking powerful new allies, giving up their own unkeepable interests and titles for their own family or remaining opportunities.

Therefore, from the day David Morin issued the city lord's decree, many small and medium-sized nobles invariably stopped the siege of the David family, and both the big nobles and the small nobles paid attention to this competition.

The small nobles are watching from the fire to see which big nobleman can come out on top, the middle nobles are making senseless desires, and the big nobles are playing cards silently among themselves.

The final result was Viscount Justin Long, who became the ultimate victor, but this baron, a gray-haired old man, could not even walk, and every day there were more than a hundred servants who served him after him, let alone compare and despise.

But no one dared to compare with him, because he was Viscount Justin Long, a rank higher than the baron, and actually controlled the real power of the six city-states northeast of Quicksand City.

Who would dare to fight him, and who would dare to win him?

So there is no doubt that this bad old man, without moving a finger, won this victory.

At that time, the brothers and sisters David Moko and David Morrow had just lost their father, and without the support of their father, the family status fell again and again, so when the David Moko brothers and sisters received the news, David Morrow was almost escorted into the wedding car.

Fortunately, the two of them still have an official identity, and their prophet teacher, who is also an old nobleman and an old viscount, forcibly suppressed this matter.

However, it is not unconditional, the old viscount asked them, within a year, to successfully find a fierce beast that could be domesticated, and successfully domesticated, through war experiments.

This is a good explanation for why the brother and sister are so keen on catching giant pandas, and it also explains why David Morrow, who was originally a reasonable, and very quiet woman, has changed so much now that she has become a very unreasonable and self-contained tsundere girl.

Just because she once longed for a beautiful love and was unwilling to marry an old man who was about to enter the earth, she despaired of this real world.

In just half a year, facing the approaching period of a year, she went from full of expectations at the beginning, to doubt, despair, and even sometimes she thought about it.

Slowly, she liked the feeling of suppressing the inferior people, because only in this way could she get in her heart the satisfaction of living in the world, which was very deformed, and very sad, the pathetic of a woman who was given up because of the interests of the family.

But now David Morrow has a new name called "Wujing", she is the third apprentice of Yixiu in the Golden Cicada Temple, no one can take care of his affairs, and no one can bully his apprentices, and the only way to bully is Yixiu himself!!
