Chapter 43: Preparing for War
Although Linglu fainted inexplicably by the Earth Fire Sky Pool, after Lu Xiuyuan's diagnosis and Niu Chen's spiritual power, she was able to get out of bed again early the next morning. Ji Yue was worried that she was not well yet, so she stopped in front of the door and did not let her go out.
"Ling'er, your brother Chen has commanded, let you lie down......"
"What's the matter, he's not your brother Chen? You have Brother Xiao Lu, and Brother Chen, who grew up together, doesn't recognize it? I see, when you see my eldest brother in the future, will you not even call Brother Zixiu, and it is only my Brother Zixiu? ”
"You know it must be a good thing to see you like this, and you make fun of me again." Ji Yue couldn't say anything about her, so she simply shut up.
"Huh? Yue'er, you just said that Brother Chen told you to look at me? What about them? Linglu suddenly felt that Ji Yue's words were wrong, and hurriedly asked her.
"They went out early in the morning. The Qingya girl and the Xinyi girl came to play with Ah Huan early, and Xiuyuan and Chen Gongzi also left with them, as if they were going to go to the ice playground to have a look, and then help Ah Huan prepare for the project of the Seven Evil Spirits. ”
"Yue'er, let's go find them too!" Linglu tidied up her clothes and prepared to go out.
"The secret passage at the door will go out, but will you cross that ice mound?" The innocent Ji Yue looked at Linglu's eyes, she still remembered that after she fell down that day, several people didn't find their way out for an afternoon.
"If those few little Xiaoice Hills can be difficult to get me, how will you Sister Ling'er and Brother Chen go to the rivers and lakes in the future?" Putting on her coat, Linglu pulled on Jiyue and prepared to go.
"Where are you going to break in? If you don't lie in bed and recuperate, what are you going to do with the Moon Girl?"
They didn't take a single step, Niu Chen came in from the outside, followed by Ah Huan and Lu Xiuyuan.
"Brother Chen, where have you been? Why don't you bring the two of us with Jiyue? What about the good ones who go in and out together? ”
"Isn't this at Ah Huan's house?" Since I was a child, I haven't seen how close Niu Chen and Ah Huan are, but only now can I see that they are out of the same mountain, and this little trust is there.
"Miss Ling'er, Gongzi Chen talked to me last night...... Ah Huan poured tea for them and invited everyone to sit down.
"What are you two talking about?" Linglu thought to herself, "Why are they still carrying me behind their backs?"
"Miss Ling'er, you already know that this is my hometown, I want to ...... Stay. But I'm alone, and it's hard to stand on my feet. Fortunately, Mr. Chen had promised to help me last night. ”
"Brother Chen, really, you want to help Ah Huan?"
"Didn't you want to help Ah Huan?" Niu Chen looked at her.
"It's just...... Didn't you just tell me yesterday, when Ji Yue's health is better, we will go back to Luo Xiao Mountain? ”
Ah Huan heard Linglu say that she was leaving, and hurriedly interrupted her: "Miss Ling'er, don't you want Ah Huan to have a home of her own, see Ah Huan upright, and be recognized by her own people?" ”
"Of course I hope ......"
"That's good, Ling'er, then from tomorrow, we will start preparing for Ah Huan's Yu family training ground." Niu Chen has always spoken crisply and neatly, and this time is no exception.
Ji Yue and Lu Xiuyuan never spoke against each other, and Linglu could see that during the time she had fainted, several of them had unified their opinions.
Since everyone has no other opinions, it is time to discuss the specific preparations that need to be made. Ah Huan and the others walked out of the guest room where Linglu and Ji Yue lived and walked to the front hall.
"But...... Brother Chen, you wait to go out, I still have something to ask you" Linglu called Niu Chen.
"What's wrong? Ling'er, are you still uncomfortable? Why don't you just lie down and rest for another day? Niu Chen didn't know why Linglu stopped him, thinking that she was still uncomfortable in her body, so she looked at Linglu with concern and asked her.
"Brother Chen, the day before yesterday, didn't you tell me that when Ji Yue's illness is cured, we will go back? If you participate in their Seven Evil Sect Election, will you delay for more than a month? If we want to help Ah Huan, we just need to ask for the forgiveness of our grandfather together, so why make trouble here? Linglu didn't understand why Niu Chen decided to stay and help Ah Huan overnight.
"Ling'er, have you ever heard of a sentence?"
"What?"
"Linyuan envy fish, it's better to retreat and close the net."
"I've heard it, isn't it the great truth that people in the world often say, 'It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish'?"
"Yes, I know that you grew up with Ji Yue and Ah Huan, and you want to help him intercede and let him return to the immortal mountain of the ancestor, but you must also be strange, why don't I promise to help him intercede?"
"It's not surprising, you always have your point." Linglu knew that if Niu Chen didn't want to say it, even if she asked.
"Let me tell you a story! That happened a long time ago, when I went down the mountain with Uncle Ningyi. ”
"What's the story?" Linglu looked at Niu Chen, why do you still have to tell a story?
"Once, at the bottom of the mountain, we met a woman with a baby in her arms, who was so badly injured and in pain that she wanted to die quickly. So she begged us to help her take the baby in her arms to the city a hundred miles away and hand it over to her husband. I was about to take over the child, but Uncle Ning stopped me......"
"Why, Uncle Ning is not a ruthless person?!" Linglu was puzzled, Uncle Xiao has always been kind, and there must be other intentions in doing this.
"I thought the same thing you do now. Then, Uncle Ning fed the woman a pill and took us away. However, it was hidden behind a large tree not far from her. ”
"What are you doing in hiding?"
"Then we found out that the woman was struggling to get up and went forward."
"And then?"
Later, she reluctantly took the baby into the city and was treated herself.
"But Brother Chen, what does it have to do with me that you said this story and that we have to help Ah Huan participate in the election of the Seven Evil Societies?" is as smart as Linglu, and he was also confused by Niu Chen.
Could it be that she, the uninteresting Brother Chen, also learned from Lu Xiuyuan to coax Ji Yue to make her happy?
"Ling'er, you still don't understand? Helping others is not necessarily what you have to do for her directly, but to help her have the courage and ability to face reality. ”
"Oh, that's the truth, if you take her child at that time, she will be bent on death, and she will not carry her sick body into the city."
"Originally, with the spells of a few of us, not to mention a little baby, even the woman herself, a few of us could easily reach the city. But sometimes, the good we think we are good is no less than the incurable evil. Life is long and the world is hard, and Uncle Xiao doesn't want that woman to rely too much on others, so as not to encounter a little setback in the future, so she will sit and wait for the immortals to come out to rescue. ”
"I see, Brother Chen."
"If only you could understand. Now that Xue Fei and your eldest brother have returned to Xikonoha, one day, I will also take you to the Guardian Sea Pavilion. Even if Ah Huan returns to Luo Xiaoshan, what will he do in the future, will he go to one of our families to be a guest for a lifetime? Since this is his hometown, he is willing to stay, so ......"
"Brother Chen, don't say it, I know what I should do now, we have to help Ah Huan, gain the recognition of the clan, and be himself here! Let's go, let's go to the front hall too. ”
Linglu and Niu Chen came out of the room together, gathered in the front hall with Ah Huan and a few of them, and were discussing, and after a while, they went to Qingya and asked her to help guide the specific participating projects.
"Hahaha, Brother Yu, Gongzi Chen, are you all there?" Before the people arrived, the voice had already arrived.
Ah Huan lifted the curtain and wanted to go out.
As soon as he picked up the corner of the bead curtain, Yan Liunian had already walked in and almost collided with Ah Huan.
"You don't have to clean up the venue yourself, my dad has just sent someone to prepare!"
Yan Liuyu, together with Ah Huan's stepfather, also walked in from outside.
"Uncle Yu is a good ......"
"Yan Gongzi, Yan girl......"
After greeting everyone, they sat down one after another.
"Huan'er, you've all seen Liuyu and Liunian, right?"
"We've already met Brother Yan and them on the ice frolic field, Master." Ah Huan saw his father-in-law asking a question and hurriedly returned.
"Good, good ......"
"Liuyu Xian nephew, from today on, Ah Huan and these friends of his will participate in the projects and preparations for the Ice Washing Festival, so I will bother you to teach you the Xian nephew."
"Uncle Yu, you are too outward, the word training, you don't dare to be a liuyu, you can make progress with Brother Yu and Gongzi Chen, my brother and sister are very honored."
"That'...... That's it, you young people plan and prepare, I will also go to Brother Yan, and then go to Que Lixuan to visit the head of the Li family. Ah Huan's father-in-law finished a brief explanation, got up and said goodbye.
"Brother Yan, please sit down ......" Bingxue's smart Linglu girl, who already knew from Ah Huan's father-in-law that the Yan brothers and sisters came over today to help Ah Huan, and hurriedly let Yan Liuyu sit down on the main seat.
"Miss Ling'er, you don't need to see our brothers and sisters like this, we are all good friends! Do you say, Yu ...... Childe?" Yan Liunian pulled Linglu over, sat down together, and looked at Ah Huan again.
Ah Huan smiled, "Yes, Sister Liunian, you don't have to call me Yu Gongzi either......"
"Sister Yan, why don't you call him Brother Yu Huan like me?" It is a delicate voice.
Qingya and Xinyi girls also walked in from outside.
"It doesn't matter what you call it, don't stick to the summary. Let's get down to business now. Brother Yu, Gongzi Chen, among the three items that must be selected by the Seven Evil Spirits, what do you all know besides the Ice Hammer Pill? Yan Liuyu was afraid that these little girls would not be able to stop coming and going, so he stood up and waved his hand to stop everyone, and then went straight to the point.
Except for Qingya and Liunian, everyone present didn't know what else was in the three competitions, and they shook their heads after looking at each other.
"I don't know."
"Please also ask Brother Yan for advice."
"Brother Yan, please be specific. I heard Uncle Yu talk about it yesterday, there is less than a month left, so what do we all need to practice? Niu Chen got up and clenched his fists and said.
Yan Liuyu cleared his throat: "Hmm~mm! This one...... There are many items in the Ice Washing Festival handed down from our ancestors, among which the step ball that you already know, which is now the Ice Hammer Pill, is the third event. ”
"What is the first item? Brother Yan? Lu Gongzi interjected.
"Lu Gongzi asked well, this first item is a must-choose for the Ice Splitting Clan's election of the Seven Evils, and it is a basic check of the candidate's spiritual power and magic. Brother Yu, if you want to get ahead and stand out in the Seven Evil Societies, you have to participate in this 'Ice Twister' competition. ”
"Ice ...... Rotor?" Everyone spoke out together, Linglu and their ancestors' immortal mountain was in the south of the Yangtze River, and the five counties and eighteen prefectures under their rule were also nearby.
So as soon as they heard Yan Liuyu say this, they were already confused, not to mention that they would use it, even the name Bing Yan, they had only heard it for the first time.
"Bing Yu Tuo is also called 'Ding Qianle', Qianle, you should understand what it is, right?" Yan Liuyu scratched her hair and thought for a while, and found an easy-to-understand name to say.
Everyone still looked at each other.
