Chapter 271: The Axe
During the period of recuperation, Li Qingyu had never left that room except for the first time when she went out to see a boy chopping wood, and when she walked out of the yard and found that there was a wilderness around her, there was only this dilapidated courtyard within a radius of several miles.
"You...... Where is the village? After repeatedly confirming that what he saw was not a hallucination, Li Qingyu turned his head and asked the boy.
The boy looked uncertain, pointed to his feet and said, "Isn't this it?" The rest of the people live nearby, and the last time I found you, you were on your way back from their neighbor Rhubarb's house. ”
“…… Neighborhood? ”
"Well, Grandpa Yuan's family lives a little farther, he lives in the center of the village, and it will take more time to walk over, but you are injured and your body is still relatively weak, I can carry you."
Li Qingyu found that all her cognitions since arriving at this place were completely different from before, for example, now, she didn't know what kind of level the boy's "slightly" meant, and what kind of distance could they call "neighbors" when there were no buildings in the endless wilderness?
So for the sake of safety, Li Qingyu did not object to his proposal, and obediently lay on the back of the boy who was shorter than himself, waiting to see how he wanted to advance.
"Getting on the ground?"
"Hmm."
In the next second, Li Qingyu was poured a breath of wind, and even his eyes had to be closed quickly to avoid the tragedy of tears.
The boy ran at a speed comparable to that of a floating boat, and he looked very leisurely, stepping nearly ten meters in one step. The frequency of leg rotation is not clear to her naked eyes now, and she was suddenly frightened, and she subconsciously tightened her arms. If it were a normal person, he would have been outstrangled, but the boy continued to run forward as if he didn't feel anything.
After less than thirty seconds of running, the boy slowed down.
"You see, that's where I saw you before."
Li Qingyu barely poked his head out of the back of his neck and squinted his eyes to look around, and found that the scenery was the same in every direction, and he couldn't see where he was asleep at all, so he could only respond with a vague "hmm".
The boy began to speed up again, and Li Qingyu buried his head back in the position he had just placed just now. Silently clean up the pieces for his collapsed worldview.
After about ten minutes of running, the boy stopped: "Here we are." ”
Li Qingyu got off his back and found that his legs were a little weak. I suddenly felt a little ashamed. Obviously, not long ago, he was also very good at going to the sky and the earth, but now he was scared by a guy who just ran a little faster, which is very bad.
To distract herself, she quickly looked up in the direction the boy was pointing. Discovering the environment is a paradise compared to where the boy lives. Not only is the house very large, sturdy and beautiful, the exterior walls are painted, and many plants are planted in the yard, like a miniature version of the garden. Next to the courtyard is a large lake that stretches as far as the eye can see, and the wind coming out of the lake brings a burst of humidity, which makes people feel refreshed.
The boy tiptoed and looked into the yard, then turned his head to look at the lake, and then said "ah", "Grandpa Yuan is fishing." Let's go find him by the lake. After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the lake.
Li Qingyu, who was ready to run, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the boy was not walking fast, and raised his heels.
The environment around here looks somewhat similar to a place in Boyang Province. And a man in a gray robe with a yellow hat was sitting on a small stool only half a foot high with a fishing rod fishing by the lake, the boy walked a few steps quickly over there and stopped not far from the man and said loudly: "Grandpa Yuan, I brought my friend to see you~!" ”
Li Qingyu stood behind him without making a sound, looking at the man quietly.
Hearing the boy's voice, the man put down the fishing rod and turned slowly, because of the hat, he could only see that his chin part had a white beard half a foot long, and he was indeed an old man.
"You're here." The old man whispered.
The boy smiled: "I haven't seen Grandpa Yuan for a few days, I miss you a little!" ”
Li Qingyu stared at the man up and down, because she always felt that what the old man said just now was actually to her.
Could it be that she had seen the old man somewhere?
The old man stood up from the stool, and at this time Li Qingyu realized that he was so tall, a head taller than Yu Chen, she was not standing close, but she had to raise her head to look at him.
The appearance of the old man under the hat is the same as Li Qingyu's normal appearance, two eyes, a nose and a mouth, slightly old skin with some wrinkles, and some white broken hair in the ears, but the eyes are squinting and the pupils can't be seen clearly, but it shouldn't be a strange color.
Facing those squinting eyes, a chill suddenly appeared on Li Qingyu's back, and he felt a "buzz" in his brain, and he had no ideas.
After glancing at Li Qingyu twice, the old man took a few steps forward and touched the boy's head, and said kindly: "Don't run around casually during this time, the storm is coming, and I won't care about you if you are swept away again." ”
The boy smirked and rubbed his head against the old man's palm, looking like he was enjoying it.
"People stay with me first, you go back."
"Can she stay in the village? I think she's very good, and she'll get along well with the people in the village! ”
"I can't tell you this now, I'll talk about it later."
"Oh, okay, then I'm leaving."
"When you go, go to my yard and pick two fruits to eat."
"Thank you, grandpa!"
It was probably a great honor to be able to eat the fruit of the original grandfather's house, and the boy was so happy that he almost jumped up, and he disappeared in two steps, leaving only Li Qingyu and the old man face to face.
The old man looked Li Qingyu up and down, and showed a smile: "Being able to come to this place means that you have already touched the threshold, and it may not take long to reach the height of mine." ”
Li Qingyu stared at him and pretended to be innocent, not understanding what he was talking about at all.
The old man probably noticed her anomaly too, and blinked and stared at her closer. At this time, she realized that the old man's pupils were gray-blue, and when she stared, she had the illusion of seeing the starry sky.
"Was it in the midst of a self-trial......?" The old man suddenly muttered something to himself, but the volume did not decrease so that she could hear it clearly.
“…… What do you say? She asked.
"Come with me." The old man beckoned to her, and then slowly walked towards the small courtyard.
Li Qingyu glanced at the place where he was fishing just now, but found that the small stool and fishing rod that were still there just now were gone, and his evaluation of this old man was even higher.
Li Qingyu followed the old man into the small courtyard, but the old man motioned for her to sit on a stool under a shelf that seemed to be a grape trellis, thinking that the old man was going to say something to her, but he sat on the stool opposite and began to be in a daze, motionless like a wooden man.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Li Qingyu coughed lightly and tried to wake him up, but he still stood motionless, and after coughing several times, he had no choice but to give up, so he simply sat there in a daze, and also took out some energy to sort out the things in the storage space, and find out some items that could also play a role in this space.
Just as she scavenged several spiritual swords from the corner of the corner that she didn't know when, an object that had been left in the corner for a long time caught her attention.
It was an ordinary-looking and even somewhat decaying axe, and its humble shape was humble and out of place among the low-level spiritual weapons that had been sorted out, and the reason why it was able to attract her attention was because among the piles of spiritual weapons, it was the only one that still exuded a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy.
This axe must have been obtained in that ancient ruin, perhaps related to the original desolate sect?
Thinking so, Li Qingyu took it out of the storage ring.
She still remembered that this axe was very heavy, and she deliberately used her strength when she took it, but when she got it, she was surprised to find that it was now light and fluttering, and even the weight of a knife was not as good, and she could carry it with one finger.
What is the rationale for this?
Holding the axe, Li Qingyu waved it to the side casually-
"Click!"
"Boom!"
Looking at the half-collapsed house in a daze, Li Qingyu stiffened, turned his head to look at the old man who finally moved, opened his mouth for a long time, and finally could only say "I didn't mean it" that he didn't even believe in to explain the scene in front of him.
The old man stared at the axe for a long time, and even his beard was cocked, obviously surprised.
"You even found it?"
Hey? Not angry?
Li Qingyu's hanging heart lowered a little, laughed dryly, and the hand holding the axe still maintained the action just now and didn't dare to move.
"Show me."
She hurriedly shoved the axe into the old man's hand, and then withdrew her hands behind her back with lightning lightning.
Holding the axe and looking at it, the expression on the old man's face was very complicated, as if he had seen a former lover, and then he waved the same -
"Boom!"
Half of the house has collapsed.
"It's a pity, but it's not like this to bury it, you put it away, you should be able to use it in the future."
Looking at the axe handed to him, although he didn't want to take it, Li Qingyu still stretched out his hands to take it, and then put it on his lap and didn't dare to move it again, so as not to cause any more damage.
"You can stay here with me to rest these days, and when the storm is over, I will take you to another village to meet old friends, since you are here, probably another little guy is also here, not on my side, it should be on the other side, and it will be convenient to guide and guide together when the time comes."
Although he didn't know what he was talking about, Li Qingyu still nodded and nodded, looking like an obedient baby, and even his fingers were stiff in his hand holding the axe-
(To be continued......)
