Chapter 56: Unconscious
After only staying for two days, Bai Ya and the others left the country of Geshen. The middle day is used for decanting. Not to mention that although the wine here is not strong, the stamina is very strong, and it took a whole day to come back to their senses. Liu Shenghan is not used to their problems, except for helping to bring a cup of tea to relieve hangover, and he does not bring them in rice. Be hungry, who let you drink it when you didn't expect it today.
On the day of departure, they all came to their senses, and did not say a word about their unbelievable behavior after being drunk. Qi Huan usually talks a lot, forcing him to talk endlessly, from a few years old when he was a child, to a few years old when he grew up, he read bad books in the market, and talked endlessly. Jun Aoyan is different--let's tears, I don't stop crying, I don't say anything when I ask her, it's just that I'm bitter in my heart, and everyone who sees it will be sad together. Qi Huan also patted her on the back hard, and said vaguely:
"Don't cry! ...... Man - can't cry! We're β good buddies! You can rest assured, brothers will definitely accompany you to find your father, if ...... It means that if you can't find it, my father will be your father! β
But when it came to his father, he seemed to have 10,000 grievances in his heart, and tears immediately followed. In the end, the two hugged each other and cried bitterly, although no one said what the situation was, the scene was still sad and tearful. After all, it was broad daylight, and the sound coming from the guest room was still very disturbing, and Xiao Er came to persuade him countless times, but Liu Shenghan couldn't help it. She said lightly, you should be the two of you crying and mourning. Whose mourning is it to cry? Isn't the white man like a dead man, and he can't be thundered in bed.
"I bought a new blank notebook." On the carriage, Liu Shenghan suddenly said, "Ge Shenguo's paper is cheaper." β
"What do you want to remember?" Jun Aoyan asked casually.
"See for yourself."
Jun Aoyan took the notebook on the swaying carriage, turned the first page, and his eyes were straight.
Drunk record, pray for the Lord.
"You, what are you writing this for?"
Aoyan quickly swept over his part, there were not many scenes, and there was nothing to be ashamed of. But this didn't mean that Liu Shenghan really didn't hear it, she was extremely nervous, and she was more scared than when she saw the two monarchs before.
"I wrote it down when I had nothing to do. Well, there's a painting in the back, but I've just scratched the edge with ink. I'm afraid that I will forget it after a long time, after all, these interesting things are worth remembering. β
"What's the funny thing?"
Qi Huan stretched out his arm, and suddenly pulled the book from Jun Aoyan's shoulder from behind, and held it in his hand to read. Not to mention, there are really paintings, and with a few brushstrokes, the characteristics of people are outlined, and you can recognize who is who at a glance. This is a scene of Qi Huan being kicked off the bed by Bai Ya, but his eyes are closed, and I don't know if it is intentional. Qi Huan was speechless for a while, pondered for a long time, and suddenly tore off this page. Liu Sheng's cold hand was about to snatch it back, but he only took back the book. Qi Huan grabbed the page and was about to throw it out, but he was afraid that the wind would blow on other people's faces, so he was in a hurry and stuffed it into his mouth, and Liu Shenghan couldn't help it.
During the whole process, Bai Ya only frowned when he saw him stuffing the paper into his mouth, and he didn't say anything at other times, probably thinking about things. He just took the time to scold:
"Money-eating ghosts."
"Hey, when you talk about the mining area mentioned by the Mother of the Incense Country, will there be a lot of money?"
"Are you dreaming?"
"yes. Even if there were, wouldn't it have been dug up for the people around me? β
"What if they don't know the goods and leave other treasures behind?" Qi Huan was unwilling.
"Not much." Liu Shenghan touched the broken page of the book, "Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to draft the water, the people who survive near the minerals should make the best use of their resources, and it is not the turn of others to pick up the leaks." β
"Boring ......"
This matter, they have not mentioned it before the queen of Ge Shen Kingdom and the national teacher. First of all, because I saw that the queen was a child, I felt that there was no need to say so much to a child, and I might not be able to help anything, which would only add to the trouble. Moreover, he is a national teacher, and he doesn't seem to be a good talker, so the four of them tacitly agreed not to say a word.
ββ¦β¦ Fortunately, the god of song didn't ask anything. Thinking of this, Qi Huan sighed. I don't know if he swallowed the page or hid it, but he didn't see it anyway. It's just that his mouth is a little dry, and he swallows and spits when he says two words.
"But that doesn't mean she doesn't know." Liu Shenghan said, "The God of Song and the God of Incense were originally musicians in the heavenly realm, and their relationship was extraordinary. Besides, she actually knows about me...... The two sides must have close contacts. Since she claims to be a god, there must be a faster way to communicate, and she knows exactly what is happening. She didn't even ask about Lamper, and she wasn't interested in us at the moment - she didn't believe we had the strength, and that's a good thing. No matter how you are targeted by that kind of god, it is not that simple. β
"That's right, more is better than less." Ao Yan echoed.
"That being said...... Qi Huan's words changed, "According to what you say, then Wuxia Ying shouldn't be killed by others, right?" Aren't we going to make a trip in vain? β
"Look in hidden places, you can always find it."
Liu Shenghan unfolded the map, but Bai Ya leaned his head over. The Mother of the Nation is the direction they point, in a mountainous area. There, is the realm of the bird god Garuda. Because of the distance, the Mother of the Nation knew very little about what was going on there, and they didn't want to ask any more gods. Moreover, because both countries were self-sufficient, they did not trade much with Garuda's territory. They had only heard from the tavern that there were so many monsters in that area that there were probably no humans at all.
Although the Nine Heavens Kingdom was small, it was only relative to their Kyushu Continent. It's not that easy to really walk. Although the so-called sparrows are small and have all five organs, and here, the land of projectiles is also full of mountains, rivers and forests. They went through all kinds of things along the way, and spent the hottest hours on the road. Some strange animals and plants, they had seen in that dense forest. But with Liu Shenghan, you can know what it is. Even, a lot of it is edible, so it was missed. However, in terms of types, there are more in the dense forest.
The trip also made them realize that not all of them belong to a certain country. Many small towns or villages are scattered on the land of the Nine Heavens. Some people have faith, some don't. The number of people in these villages and villages is slowly decreasing, because they are all going to the big cities and the big countries. With the exception of most of the elderly, it is really inconvenient to move around, or their minds are too ingrained to worship other gods.
"In our place, the elderly are easy to be deceived."
Ao Yan sighed so emotionally, Qi Huan said:
"After all, I have nothing to rely on and need a sustenance. But this is different, the main target of these gods is young people. A half-grown teenager is also a very good time to deceive. As long as the children of a place are mastered, they have grasped the future of this place...... The power of a child is very powerful. β
"It's all tools." Bai Ya shouted casually. It's not a nice word, but it's not a mistake. The same is true of any country, of any era.
Although the weather in the Nine Heavens Kingdom is changeable, the overall climate is static. Bai Ya and Qi Huan had just started spring when they went out to sea, and now may be the hottest time here. But after the desert, there are a lot of plants here, and the whole is quite refreshing, except that it is a little dull before and after the rain. Liu Shenghan said that the winter here is not cold, it can only be called slightly cool, and you can survive a winter without a coat and a cotton jacket. Except for the very high mountains, it does not snow.
The materials and money are slowly running out. After all, here, the value and price of items are different from their perceptions, and it is difficult to plan the flowers. When they finally figured out the approximate price, they changed places, and it was another price. One day, they saw a towering mountain in the distance, with snow on the top. It is said that this is the territory of the bird god. I finally saw hope, and I hope that there will be enough money.
Near the mountains, there was a larger village, which they had seen from afar. The four of them decided to rest there for two days, inquire about the situation in the vicinity, and avoid rash action.
Like many of the places we've visited, the inhabitants here are predominantly elderly. The slight difference is that these old people are not so gray and dizzy as their eyes. To be precise, age mostly hovers in the age of sixtieth, and there are no younger and stronger people, and there are no dying old people. And it's a big place, but it's much more empty. Many of the homes were empty, their doors closed and locked. Is it moving out? When passing by a family, a corner of the paper window was rotten, and Qi Huan tore the hole open and found that it was a mess inside, as if it had been robbed.
"Strange ......"
"It's useless to think about it now." Bai Ya just walked, "Find a family to spend the night, and then inquire clearly." β
The atmosphere in the whole village was very depressed. Because the roads were in disrepair and wide and narrow, they tied their carriages and horses to the entrance of the village, and no one should come to steal them. There were few people on the street, and occasionally a lonely uncle smoking a dry cigarette or a wrinkled woman collecting the soles of her shoes could occasionally be seen in the shade of a tree. There is not a single restaurant here, and some of them are closed. Finally, Bai Ya came to a tree, where a middle-aged woman was threading needles.
"Want to help?"
It's really rare, Young Master Bai took the initiative to lend a hand. But the woman continued to squint as if she hadn't heard.
"Excuse me." Jun Aoyan also stepped forward, but she still didn't hear it.
Qi Huan suddenly stretched out his hand and shook it between her and the needle, and the woman raised her head. Her eyes and ears were probably not working, and she looked at them with difficulty as she faced the sun, her eyes squeezed into a slit.
"Are you ......" her voice was a little slurred, "is it a youkai, or is it a ......"
"How do you speak?" Bai Ya was a little dissatisfied, "Where are we like monsters?" β
"There is no one left in our house......"
There was a kind of old age and desolation in her voice and intonation. It's kind of weird. She looked down on life and death, but it made several people not know how to speak. Maybe she still didn't hear it, Jun Aoyan leaned into her ear and shouted:
"We're not youkai! We'd like to ask for something! β
"It's not...... Monster? The woman put down her needle and thread and paused, then stretched out her head to look at them, "I have never seen you, never...... So you're from outside? Which place? β
"Far, far away!"
It's more difficult to explain to her, or in short.
"Yesβpeople outside, people outside......"
She muttered a little more, hastily picking up the sewing kit in her hand. It is estimated that she is very familiar with her own things, but she didn't hurt her hands. It's just that the movements are a little trembling, and it looks worrying. She got up slowly, and said to them:
"Then you will be hungry...... You five, come with me. β
"Excuse me!" Qi Huan also shouted loudly. Her ears weren't particularly bad, and she waved her hand, she should have heard it.
Wait, five?
The four of them looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong. Bai Ya suddenly turned his head sharply, took out his scimitar, and pointed the tip of the knife at the person who appeared behind them at some point. The other three were also somewhat frightened, but they didn't expect that no one would notice it.
"What do you want to do? Say! β
