73. Those little white faces
Braun told the truth about the death of the Patriarch of Orr, and the beasts, carried away by their anger, all closed their mouths and fell into a deep silence.
From among them came a faint cry.
The men of the beast clan always regard pride as more important than their lives, and their pride does not allow them to shed tears, not a single drop. But at this moment, listening to the faint cry, no one laughed out loud.
This atmosphere of depression to the point of almost grief makes people want to cry inexplicably.
Braun held back his heavy feeling and whispered: "What should be said has been said, and what you should know has been known, so let's disperse." ”
With that, regardless of whether the beasts had listened or not, Braun had already turned around, he raised his head and took a deep breath, poured back the tears from his eyes, and then walked to his room.
Jian Ling was still standing in place, and there were many eyes passing over her, either resentment, anger, or complexity and speechlessness......
Since she came to the beast tribe, because she is a female beast, she has received special care from everyone. This group of simple-minded beasts always likes to use the rudeest way to express the results they want most from the bottom of their hearts, they are enthusiastic and frank.
But now, these eyes, which are mixed with many emotions, are like knives, all falling on her.
They were all blaming her, blaming her for helping Patriarch Ouer dispense medicine, why she helped Patriarch Ouer hide his illness, why she watched Patriarch Ouer die and said nothing......
"It's so ruthless," a beast faintly spat out these four words as it passed by Jian Ling's side.
Jian Ling didn't speak, just stood there quietly, and there was no expression on her beautiful face.
Since she dared to do it, she was ready to bear all these misunderstandings.
The beasts departed one after another, and some of them deliberately passed in front of her, occasionally spitting out a few words of disappointment. There were also some beasts that simply bypassed her from a distance, looking like that, and didn't even want to look at her more.
After all the beasts had left, Jian Ling turned around, and as soon as he stepped out of his front foot, he saw Gleason standing in front of him.
His eyes were hidden behind the lenses, so that people could not see his expression clearly: "The reason why the Patriarch Ouer asked you to help him see a doctor is so that you can help him dispense medicine?" ”
At this point, there was nothing to hide, Jian Ling said bluntly: "Yes." ”
"I don't understand why you're doing this."
"......" Jian Ling was silent.
Gleason clenched his fists, and a faint bruise appeared on the back of his hand: "Aren't you still researching a cure for dead blood before?" Didn't you tell me before that you were going to give the patriarch hope to live? Why, in the blink of an eye you forgot all about it! Could it be that all your great truths and your professional ethics as a doctor have been abandoned by you?! ”
"Sorry......"
"I don't need you to apologize!"
Jian Ling looked at him helplessly, seeing him biting his lip and excited, he seemed to guess what he was thinking, and said softly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to blame yourself." ”
Gleason gritted his teeth: "Why doesn't it matter?!" ”
All along, he was in charge of healing the body of the Patriarch of Auer, and it stands to reason that he should be extremely familiar with the condition of the Patriarch of Auer. The Ouer patriarch suddenly decided to let Jian Ling help see a doctor, although he also had some suspicions, but he did not investigate deeply. Later, the patriarch's condition was inexplicably cured, and he felt even more incredible, and went to the patriarch to ask about it, but he was only avoided by the patriarch.
If he had been able to hold on a little longer and not keep a fluke mentality to think about things, maybe the Patriarch Ouer would not have died......
He blamed himself, very much himself.
After Gleason finished speaking, he stopped looking at Jian Ling, turned around and left.
Looking at his back without looking back, Jian Ling sighed helplessly.
Three days had passed, and the oppressive atmosphere on the spaceship had eased slightly, and Jian Ling could easily go out and walk around without being scanned with a strange eye.
This spaceship is the beast clan's cargo in the box, the equipment is relatively old, but it is not well maintained, the character is extremely stable, and the energy and materials in reserve are also sufficient, enough for the entire ship of beasts to sail in the universe for half a year.
Therefore, they don't have to worry about landing in a short time, but the beasts have different opinions about the direction of this spaceship.
The older beasts thought that the ship was heading west. It's close to Exclusion Zone Nineteen, sparsely populated, free of strife, and it would be safer to build a home there without clashes with other races.
The younger beasts thought that the ship should fly all the way east. There are many resource-rich planets in the east, which are very suitable for survival, although there are many people there, as long as they are well disguised, they will not be easily discovered by humans.
The two sides quarreled over this, but neither of them would budge, and in desperation, Braun had to vote to decide where to go.
However, the result of the vote was somewhat unexpected - the votes of the two sides were exactly the same?!
Braun scratched his hair irritably: "Have all the beasts already voted?" Did anyone miss someone? ”
Gleason, who was in charge of counting the votes, heard this, thought for a while, and showed a complicated look: "Is there indeed a person who did not vote?" ”
Braun seemed to have caught a savior, and his eyes instantly lit up: "Who?" ”
"Jian Ling."
After a long silence, Braun finally said: "Anyway, she is a real beast and deserves a vote." ”
Gleason pushed his glasses and whispered, "yes, I see." ”
When Gleason knocked on Jian Ling's door, she was reading a book.
He glanced at the book in her hand, which was still the book he had given her, and his expression was even more complicated. He raised the statistical table in his hand: "The clan wants to decide the direction of the spaceship, everyone has some disagreements, and Braun has decided to vote." Now that everyone else has voted, you're the only one left, so I'm going to ask you which side you're going to support. ”
Next, he roughly explained the key points of disagreement.
After Jian Ling listened, he showed a thoughtful expression: "Before leaving, the Ouer Patriarch didn't arrange these things for you?" ”
As soon as she mentioned the Patriarch of Or, Gleason's face changed slightly, and his tone sank a little: "The Patriarch did say before that he asked us to go to a beast elder named 'Dasher'. But I heard from the tribesmen that Elder Daiser was very old, and he had left the orc tribe before the orcs were divided, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and we can't find him at all. So, we're going to find a place to settle down first, and then we're going to find someone slowly. ”
Jian Ling nodded clearly: "If that's the case, I suggest flying south." ”
Neither east nor west, but south where eight bars can't hit?!
Gleason was surprised: "Why?" ”
"The west is very remote, and it is indeed very suitable for escapism, but it is very inconvenient to find people, and the resources there are very poor, I am afraid that you will not find a suitable planet to live on. As for the east, there are many people in abundance, and it is very convenient to find people, but you must always risk being discovered by humans, and if you make a mistake, you will have to face the almost crazy hunting of humans. To sum up, neither of these places is suitable for settling, my suggestion is to fly south, although there are also many human countries there, but most of those countries are very small, and the armed equipment is not advanced, if you really fight, they may not be able to take advantage of you. At that point, you will be able to find a way to inquire about the whereabouts of Elder Dasher, and you will be able to keep yourself safe. ”
Hearing what she said, Gleason was faintly moved, and couldn't help but strengthen his tone and asked, "Are you sure there is a planet in the south that is suitable for us to settle in?" ”
Jian Ling searched the distribution of the planets in the south in his mind, and suddenly remembered that there was really a very suitable place for them to stay, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up slightly: "Yes, but that place is more special." If you hide it well, you should be able to find the person you are looking for very quickly, but if you hide it well, then you have to be prepared to fight to the death. ”
"Where?"
"Can't be zoned, Yolan Xing."
When Gleason brought Jian Ling's suggestion back and told it to Braun and the other beasts, those beasts, you look at me, I look at you, obviously they are all a little tempted, but they are not sure to make a decision.
All of a sudden, everyone couldn't pay attention, and all eyes fell on Braun.
Braun's personality is relatively calm after this period of training, but after all, he is still too young, and he is inevitably a little hesitant when facing such a big decision. He thought for a long time, and finally said to Gleason, "You go and call Jian Ling over, I have something to ask her face to face." ”
It didn't take long for Jian Ling to be brought to the conference room.
Facing more than a dozen pairs of complicated gazes, Jian Ling calmly found a place to sit down, his face calm: "If you have anything to say, just ask, for the sake of the face of the Ouer patriarch, I will try my best to help you." ”
Hearing this, Braun frowned slightly: "What do you mean by helping 'us'?" Aren't you one of us? ”
"Yes now, but maybe in the future," Jian Ling leaned back in his chair and smiled slightly, "Don't forget, I am already married to a human and have children, although I am staying with you now, I will definitely go back to reunite with my family in the future." ”
These words made all the beasts present a little dissatisfied, although they did not like war, but they were all hostile to humans. Although they had long known that Jian Ling was married to a human being, they had never thought that Jian Ling would return to human society, and they couldn't understand how the beast clan could coexist peacefully with humans? Isn't she afraid of death?!
Jian Ling took in the changes in their gazes, but he just smiled and said nothing.
Braun groaned for a moment and asked directly, "Have you ever been to Youlan Star?" What kind of place is it? ”
"I've been there, it's a lawless place, and it's home to a lot of pirates and stowaways. In that place, status was justified by fists, where there were no legal constraints, let alone the presence of a government or an army. I think it's going to be a good fit for you. ”
Hearing her say this, all the beasts present were a little moved.
Although they all yearn for peace, they all have aggressive blood in their bones, and if they only rely on their fists to decide their status, they are confident that they can find a place on that planet.
Braun thought for a moment, then asked, "Although there is no political restraint there, the pirates there are not to be underestimated, what if we are found to be true to ourselves?" ”
"What else can I do?" Jian Ling smiled, "Then fight until they all shut up, and don't dare to meddle anymore." ”
Hearing this, all the beasts and beasts laughed out loud, and a few of them had a hearty temper, and couldn't help but shout: "Lao Tzu likes this kind of place to talk with his fists!" ”
Gleason, as the only non-combatant in the audience, still kept a cool head at this time, and he looked at Jian Ling: "Are you sure that your fists can solve everything there?" ”
"No," Jian Ling replied unusually crisply.
"Then you still ......"
"So I'm just giving advice, and the specific decision is still in your hands," noticing Gleeson's slowly frowning brows, Jian Ling continued, "However, if you really decide to go to Youlanxing, I can help you contact my friend in advance, if he helps, your safety factor should be much higher." ”
The next day, Braun asked all the beasts to vote again, and four-fifths of the beasts chose to fly to the south of Yolan.
For no other reason, they like to solve problems with their fists, and they find it very appetizing just to listen to them.
Braun finally decided to fly south, he found Jian Ling and told her his decision: "That friend of yours is now in Youlanxing?" ”
"Yes, he is also a pirate of Youlan Xing, with a temper similar to you, born with little roots, and is very easy to get along with."
Hearing her say this, Braun's face turned red, and he subconsciously scratched his head again: "I thought I had become a lot more stable recently, but after this voting incident, I found that I was still not bold enough and lacked experience in coordination." ”
"Experience is accumulated little by little, no one is born a leader, I believe your grandfather came over like this back then."
Hearing her talk about her grandfather, Braun's shyness gradually receded, and a layer of heaviness was cast in his eyes: "I'm sorry, grandpa's matter has caused you a lot of grievances, but if I didn't make things clear in front of all the beasts at that time, they would definitely not give up, and when the time comes, grandpa's efforts will all be in vain......"
"I know, I didn't blame you," Jian Ling shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "The Ouer patriarch died suddenly, they always have to have someone to vent their emotions, I won't stay long anyway, it doesn't matter if I am hated." ”
The more generous she was, the more embarrassed Braun became: "Do you have to go back?" ”
"Well, I have to go back, that's my home."
Seeing her resolute expression, Braun knew that it was useless to say more, so he had no choice but to give up: "If I could, I really want to meet the human being chosen by you, he must be a very good man to marry and have children with you so lucky, right?" ”
Jian Ling just smiled and shook his head, bringing the topic back: "Is there a communicator on the spaceship?" ”
"Yes, in the communication cabin, I'll have someone bring it to you."
"Thank you."
Not long after Braun left, the communicator was delivered, and Jian Ling dialed the private number left by Nick, and there were a few beeps, and a familiar man's voice sounded on the other end: "Which one?" ”
This tone ...... Tsk, it's really rude as always.
Jian Ling leaned back in the rocking chair and shook it for a while: "It's me." ”
There was silence for three minutes.
Just when Jian Ling wondered if the other party had dropped the call, a surprised voice suddenly broke out on the other end of the phone: "!" Did you Tema finally show up?! Lao Tzu thought that you were tied up by some bastard who didn't have long eyes to be the **** of the village, and he almost took his brothers to tie up all those human traffickers to make human meat buns! ”
Jian Ling's eyebrows jumped: "How do you know that I am missing?" ”
Nick snorted dissatisfiedly, "How else can you know?" Of course, it was your own husband who said that as soon as I had any news about you, I would inform him immediately. He's looking for you all over the world now, and he's about to go crazy, tsk, the man who lost his wife...... It's really irrational. ”
Hearing this, Jian Ling was silent for a moment before continuing: "Don't tell him about me looking for you for the time being." ”
Nick immediately smelled the strong gossip and asked with great interest: "Why, why, why?" ”
"I have some things to deal with here, and it's inconvenient to see him for the time being."
She brought a nest of orcs, and if she reunited with Xia now, the identities of those orcs would definitely not be hidden. She couldn't be sure of Xia's attitude towards dealing with the beasts, so for the sake of insurance, she decided to settle the beasts first, and then find a chance to go back and spread things out and talk to Xia.
Thinking of this, Jian Ling couldn't help but feel uneasy, he had deceived Xia for so long, he must be very angry now, if they really met, they would definitely have to settle accounts after the autumn, eh......
Nick is in hot pursuit, and is about to dig out the gossip in it, and will have something to share with his brothers: "What is the important thing that makes you not even want to kiss your husband?" Could it be that you raised other little white faces outside, and you were afraid that your in-laws would be jealous, so you didn't dare to face it, right? ”
"yes, you guessed it."
On the other end of the phone, a burst of disbelief erupted: "Rub! Nima really dares to raise a little white face outside?! Aren't you afraid that the old man in your family will come and destroy you with a warship?!! ”
"So I'm coming to you now, and I want to borrow your place to hide my little white-faced people, lest they be bombed by warships."
The voice on the other end of the phone was even higher: "Still 'those little white faces'?!" How many little white faces have you raised?! ”
"Hmm, I'll do the math...... At least, there should be one or two thousand. ”
Nick's voice sounded a little shaky: "...... Sister, can your body withstand it? ”
"It's okay, I can eat a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup in one meal, and I can walk in good spirits, and it won't be difficult to go up to the fifth floor in one go."
"Ahem, ahem! You hid everyone from me, what if your dear husband found out and brought the army to fight us? ”
Jian Ling chuckled: "Even if I don't hide people from you, aren't you still going to be beaten by the army?!" ”
"That'...... That won't let the dignified God of War General go out in person! It's not that you don't know the destructive power of your husband, and the place you pass through must be like locusts......"
"Hey, what's the talk?! You're locusts, your whole family is locusts! ”
"Uh, okay, our whole family is locusts, then your whole family is frogs, specializing in bullying us little insects, a murderous one?!"
"There's a head for you! Can you help with this or not? Give me a nice touch. ”
"Hmm......" Nick hesitated on the other end of the phone, but finally couldn't beat the curiosity in his heart and agreed to help her. Whew, little white faces of the Welsh Empire's princess bag*, what could be more exciting than this? Nick's gossip soul is on fire!
Jian Ling agreed with him on the location and time of the connection, and then hung up the phone.
Holding the communicator, Jian Ling hesitated, but still didn't dial Xia's number.
It's better to deal with the affairs of the orc first, and then go and face his problems wholeheartedly......
Jian Ling returned the communicator and told Braun about the details of the joint, so that they could prepare in advance. She specifically instructed: "Keep me all in human form, and never show the slightest trace of the beasts, including your words and deeds, and even your diet, you must try your best to get close to normal human habits." If you really don't understand the difference between yourself and human beings, you can always ask me, or ask Saisi, who has lived in human society for so many years and should be very skilled in disguising human beings. ”
For the next few days, the beasts all worked hard to devote themselves to the difficult cause of disguising humans.
Regardless of words and deeds, the most unacceptable thing for them is the food that humans eat!
All kinds of seasonings, all kinds of sweet and sour, without the freshness of the original game at all, is simply abusing your own tongue!
When all the beasts were wailing, only Saisi said that he was always happy, and the cake he made finally had a place among the beasts, watching the scene of those beasts pinching their noses and swallowing the cake with nausea in one bite, he was so happy that he wanted to beat his chest - after so many years, his cake was finally recognized!
Well, let's not care if those orcs really agree with his fragrant sweet and greasy cakes, in terms of light time, it really flies very quickly.
When the ship reaches the agreed junction, a pirate ship can be seen from afar, with a marker on the ship indicating that it is indeed Nick's ship.
After Jian Ling used the communicator to get in touch with Nick, the two sides built an air bridge, and Nick crossed the bridge with a few of his men and ran to Jian Ling's ship in a hurry.
As soon as he stood firmly, Nick was shocked by the more than a thousand sturdy and tall Han papers in front of him, looked at Jian Ling in disbelief with wide eyes, and asked tremblingly, "This, this, this...... These are your little white faces?! ”
Xia Zum had a cigarette in his mouth, a machine gun on his shoulder, and was ready to pull the trigger at any time: "If Nima doesn't let Lao Tzu come out to see his daughter-in-law, Lao Tzu will immediately beat you into tofu flowers!" ”
Yuanyuan children's shoes covered their faces and exclaimed: "Ya Yan Butterfly! You'll be out in a few more chapters! ”
