Chapter 9, Departure
After eating and drinking, Xingyue planned to take the snow beaver to sleep. However, as soon as he got up, he was stopped by the old man.
"Grandpa, is there anything else?"
"It's nothing, I can escort you there. However, I have two things to say. "The old man is very serious.
You say. ”
"First, I'll only send you to the edge of the forest tribe's monitoring range. This second, and most importantly, don't tell anyone you've seen me. "When the old man finished the second thing. Xingyue couldn't wait to ask why.
The old man looked straight into Xingyue's eyes and said, "Don't ask why. Can you do what I'm saying?"
Xingyue thought, as long as you can send me safely to find that goods for something. This little thing is not a matter, and he replied with an oath: "I swear by my personality, I can do it." ”
"That's fine. So saying, he got up and went into the room, and led the way to the garden house.
Because he persuaded the old man to help him, he also got a cute pet, plus he drank a glass of wine, and it was such a soft bed, so Xingyue fell asleep while lying on the bed.
The next day, as you can imagine, she slept until the sun was shining.
Finding that she had slept too much, she rolled out of bed in an agitation, rushed to the old man's door, and knocked on the door. It's just that no one responded for half a day.
It should have gone to the cave in the ground, Xingyue thought about it and ran to the cave.
"Grandpa?" shouted before the man could climb out of the stairs.
Seeing that there was no one in this room, walking towards the living room of the cave, the old man and Swift were eating fruit.
Seeing that Xingyue was coming, the old man beckoned: "Wake up, girl, come, be hungry, eat something." ”
Xingyue puffed up and said, "What are you eating, it's noon, why don't you wake me up?"
The old man explained aggrievedly: "You haven't drunk, so I thought you couldn't get up, so I didn't call you." ”
"But at least call me first, maybe I'll be able to get up. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, let's go tomorrow, eat enough first. The old man was quite enthusiastic and pushed all the delicious food in front of her.
Who knows, which tendon is wrong for this foodie today, he glanced at the food and said, "Pack and take it away, and set off now." ”
"What do you mean by packing?" asked the old man.
"Packing is all about packing it all up and taking it away. ”
"Where are you going?"
"Let's go now and go to the forest tribe. Xingyue took the fruit, hugged the snow beaver and walked again.
"Hey, no, girl, it's all this hour. It's never too late to leave tomorrow. The old man shouted from behind.
Xingyue turned around and said, "Just now, otherwise what if you sleep again tomorrow." I'm going on a walk-and-go trip. ”
The old man is a little helpless, the rhythm of this girl's style is a bit difficult to keep up.
said: "Then you wait, I'll come when I get something." ”
Xingyue waited for the old man to come out at the entrance of the cave, only to see the old man carrying a bow and arrows on his back and a burden.
It's rare for Xingyue to be so eye-catching, so she consciously took the burden over and said, "Give it to me, respect the elderly." ”
The old man didn't shirk either, and gave the burden to Xingyue.
Xingyue took the burden, felt that it was not heavy, and asked, "What is it loaded? ”
"Two cloaks to protect against the cold. ”
"That's it. ...... , gone?"
"That's enough. ”
"So, what about food?" Xingyue didn't want to starve to death, in her mind, eating was the top priority.
"Prey is everywhere. The old man couldn't help but stare at Xingyue, can this doll think of anything else except eating it a day?
"Oh, that's good. Let's go. "Since there is something to eat, then she is relieved of ninety-nine.
Another worry is because she will consider the danger after she has eaten.
Maybe it's the instinct of the animal, the old man commands swiftness to lead the way.
The snowcater, who had finally woken up, stretched his waist and wanted to jump on Swift.
After all, it only followed Xingyue, in order to prevent it from running away. Xingyue ripped off a vine and tied it to Swiftness.
It was initially reluctant to be tied up and kept biting with its teeth.
However, it was always small, and it kept biting at all, so I had to give up. Honestly lying on Swiftness.
The sun is hot at noon, and in this big forest, the stars and the moon are not afraid of carbon.
In the old forest, the green leaves of the trees are so vibrant when the sun shines on them.
Xingyue is very fond of vibrant green.
The farther they walked into the forest, the taller and thicker the trees became, and the vines were wrapped around them. Sometimes, if you accidentally turn around, you can always mistake the vine for a snake.
Animals are becoming more and more exotic, and their cries are becoming more and more noisy.
Basically, they live in groups, and when they see a human coming, they scream and flee en masse in an instant.
That movement scared Xingyue every time.
Xingyue couldn't help it and asked, "Grandpa, is there a particularly poisonous animal like a snake in this forest?"
The old man replied, "No, but there are fire beaks and tiger lions here." ”
"What the hell? Don't scare me. Xingyue's legs suddenly went limp.
"There are two paths to the Forest Tribe, one is guarded by a tiger and lion, and only that path can get out of Stardust Island. ......。 ”
Before the old man finished speaking, Xingyue couldn't wait to say: "Then why should we find the owner of this island, we just go by ourselves." ”
"It's easy to say. First, we can't get through the Tiger and Lion Road, and second, the seal ring of the owner of Stardust Island is the key to the outside world. ”
"Then don't you have a second way?" Xingyue ignored what the old man said, and only the Tiger and Lion Road was the only way out.
"Didn't I say that the Tiger and Lion Road is the only way out?"
Xingyue thought about it, the old man seemed to have said so, and said apologetically: "So."
Y, I really didn't mean to ignore it. You continue. ”
The old man said, "The second one is the path of fire beak that we walked. This fire beak is a huge bird. Its feathers are flushed, its beak is pointed and long, and its long beak has four tiny teeth at the tip that drain venom, and this animal is very intelligent and will also spray venom on its claws. ”
"Such a cheating father?" Xingyue has been here for a few days, and she has never seen any terrible animals, which was said by the old man, and her heart trembled.
"There's something even more terrifying. ”
"What else?" Xingyue couldn't help but mention in her heart, there wouldn't be any other perverted animals, right?
"We're going the second way. The old man said unusually calmly.
"I'll it. Xingyue felt that she had a plan to retreat at this time.
"However, the poison of this fiery beak can be cured. The old man fortunately didn't look at her worried expression at this time, otherwise he would not have said this.
"That's okay. "There is a way to detoxify, then she can rest assured and bold.
"However, this detoxifying grass is not easy to find. ......。 ”
Before the old man finished speaking, Xingyue said frantically: "Can you finish the words at once, don't gasp for breath, make my heart go up." ”
The old man was still unhappy, and said, "How did I know that you were so fond of interjecting. It was you who interrupted me. ”
