Chapter 8: Night Talk
Anyway, everyone finally filled their stomachs, Dongfang Xue's cooking skills are also quite good, although the conditions are a little simple, but in such a situation, some of them are already quite good things, so they still have to pick and choose? After eating, it was also decided that the order of the vigil in turn, everyone would keep vigil for about an hour, the youngest Dongfang Chen was the first to keep vigil, and Dongfang Xiao was the last, Dongfang Ye and Dongfang Yu were also the culprits of this incident, and they were helplessly arranged to the second and third places in the middle, and they couldn't refute it at all......
It's not too far from the town, and even in such a wilderness, it can still be regarded as a human habitation area, so there is no need to worry about any magical beasts, which also saves everyone's heart.
"I've been watching for a long time, and it's time for you to rest." Dongfang Xiao rubbed his sleepy eyes, and said softly to the sleepy Dongfang Ye on the side. Dongfang Ye scratched his head, a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything, and tiptoed back to his resting place without disturbing anyone.
"This kid is quite careful." Dongfang Xiao smiled, he didn't expect that Dongfang Ye, who seemed to be five big and three thick, would have such a careful side.
The moonlight is like water, the sky is full of stars, Dongfang Xiao quietly looks at the night sky, waiting for the dawn to come. In his previous life, when Dongfang Xiao was still young, he always liked to look at the starry sky on the roof every summer night. His dream was to be an astronomer and explore the vast universe and the mysterious starry sky. But as he grew up, this thought gradually faded. And after coming to this world, this habit was retained by him.
"What a beautiful starry sky." A cold voice sounded in Dongfang Xiao's ears.
"It's Sister Xue'er, why don't you rest well, it's still a while before dawn." Dongfang Xiao looked at Dongfang Xue in surprise and said.
"Early in the morning, it is the time when the spiritual power between heaven and earth is the clearest, and cultivating at this time has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort, so I also developed this habit of getting up early." Dongfang Xue explained with a smile.
"Sister Cher, do you like the starry sky? You said that on the distant stars, will there be a world like us, in that world, there may be people like us, but they live a completely different life from us......" Dongfang Xiao's eyes were a little inexplicable, and he sighed softly.
Dongfang Xue was a little dumbfounded, she didn't know how to answer Dongfang Xiao's bizarre question, she shook her head lightly and replied: "I don't know the answer to the question you said, but it seems that Brother Xiao really likes the starry sky very much." Unconsciously, her name for Dongfang Xiao has also changed.
"The sky hangs over the galaxy, the stars are brilliant, and looking at it can make people's hearts open. Sister Dongfang, come and have two drinks with me. With that, two crystal wine glasses appeared in Dongfang Xiao's hands:
Sosiah's special elf wine
There is no level limit
Can restore a certain amount of mana
"This is...... Is it as special as the daytime? Sorry, I don't particularly like this particular taste. Dongfang Xue looked at the red liquid in the cup and refused with some hesitation.
"No, it's not." Dongfang Xiao shook his head, "It is said that this is a special wine made by the elves, it is made from ripe mountain grapes, taste it, it tastes good." ”
"Elves?" Dongfang Xue was a little surprised, elves are rare things of this powerful and mysterious race, and Dongfang Xiao is also a little more mysterious in her eyes. Although she was a little skeptical, Dongfang Xue still took a sip gently.
"It's so special, it's the most delicious wine I've ever had." Dongfang Xue exclaimed, he had seen a lot of so-called fine wines, but he had never seen such a delicious wine as the wine Dongfang Xiao took out.
"Huh? It's a magical feeling, it seems that even the spiritual power has been faintly restored, and it really deserves to be the stuff of the elf race! Dongfang Xue was a little surprised, ordinary magicians don't like to drink very much, because it will affect their perception of the magic elements in the air, but Dongfang Xiao's wine can restore her magic power, which makes her quite surprised.
"I got this wine by accident, if Sister Xue'er likes it, it's no problem to return to the family and give Sister Xue'er some." Dongfang Xiao smiled, these things were inadvertently left in the past, and they were not precious items, even if they were purchased directly in the store, each cup was only a gold coin.
Dongfang Xue did not refuse, her expression was a little gloomy: "After coming to the family." I have always lived every day carefully, and I know that there is a lot of dissatisfaction in my family. A person who has never been in the family for a day is still being cultivated in the family, and it is no wonder that many people are dissatisfied with this, and I also want to prove myself, so I am ...... in the family competition."
"That's just some philistine's opinion." Dongfang Xiao's face indifferently interrupted Dongfang Xue's words, "The Dongfang family has always relied on strength and talent to determine the distribution of cultivation resources, even if I am the son of the patriarch, I have never enjoyed half a point of privilege. ”
Dongfang Xue looked at Dongfang Xiao in surprise, these things were unknown to her.
"My talent is not too good, and I can have the strength I have today, in addition to luck, I have never given up my efforts." Dongfang Xiao paused, and then continued: "Other people's opinions, why care too much, your mouth is on other people's bodies, you can't even let others say it." We just have to do what we have to do, and I think, that's enough. ”
Dongfang Xue nodded, and under the influence of alcohol, Dongfang Xue's cheeks also flushed a little red and said, "I have also heard a lot of rumors about Xiao'er's younger brother...... I didn't expect you to come together to do this family task, I heard many people in the family say that Xiao'er's younger brother usually doesn't like trouble the most, and this kind of thing is as far away as you can to hide. ”
Dongfang Xiao was also a little embarrassed, he didn't expect his reputation to spread so widely, even Dongfang Xue, who had just returned to the family, had heard about it, the smile on his face condensed, and then he smiled again: "Of course, I heard that this is Sister Xue'er's family's business, if it is someone else's business, I will never care about half of it." ”
"I don't believe it!" Dongfang Xue's face turned a little redder, and she drank all the elf wine in the cup and said, "It's about to dawn, why don't you hurry up and make more preparations, but you have to hurry in a while." ”
Dongfang Xiao looked at the white belly of the fish that had just risen in the sky, and shook his head helplessly.
