685 Songs of the homeland
"Hey, it's just a few of you...... Are you two people? ”
"Oops, it looks like ...... has been discovered"
"Oops, don't run! We have no ill intentions...... We are from the province of Lakala, not the Restorationists! ”
“…… Yes? What what province? ”
As the two people gradually approached, the shouts from both sides began to become clearer and clearer, and even when they reached a point within a few meters, they evolved into normal greetings and questions, Duan Qing, who was holding a large pile of goods, slowly put down his hand holding the black short sword, and a puzzled face appeared on his face, but in the face of the other player of the two of them, the expression of relief was more obvious: "Thank God, I finally met a bunch of people who were willing to greet us normally...... Hello, my name is Yangtze River No. 7, and this one, this is ......"
"Wait, wait, wait." Duan Qing, who was still sitting on the snow, interrupted the other party's words with a short sword: "No need to introduce, I don't have any interest in your names, and if I want to know, I just need to look up at the top of your heads...... What are you here for? ”
"Let's ......" The player who approached raised his hand again: "That...... Well, today...... Aha...... By the way, we're here to support the Battle of Windflower! I heard that the combined forces of the two countries have reached the city of Fenghua Town, so let's take a look at what we can get cheap......"
“…… Don't try to tell a lie. Duan Qing, who was staring at the other party, shook his head: "No wonder so many people refuse to greet you, you just looked like you didn't want to tell the truth......
"Uh...... All right. The player named Yangtze River No. 7 finally raised his hands: "We are here...... We wanted to inquire about something. ”
"A change broke out on the top of Hulan Mountain two days ago." He cautiously asked, "You...... Do you know what? ”
It's another bunch of guys running over to join in the fun......
With a sigh in his heart, Duan Qing's eyes hastily turned around the few people behind him: "Well, we've only heard of this......"
“…… Aren't the two locals? ”
"We ...... Well, we're from Liberty City, and we've only been here for a few days, so we don't know much about the terrain nearby......"
"Brother Mo is not right to say that."
A voice suddenly came to the back of the crowd, interrupting Duan Qing's words that he wanted to get through the confusion, and a certain player figure who suddenly came out of the crowd then walked up to Duan Qing with a look of smugness: "Although you are indeed from the City of Freedom, you should be a native of Xifeng County, right?" It's your hometown in the game, so how can you say you don't know about it? ”
“…… You? ”
Looking at the familiar face of Falling Dream, who had been separated from him after the torrent bravery, Duan Qing couldn't help but cry out, "Why are you here?" You're not being ......"
"Shh
The magician, who still looked embarrassed, hurriedly stepped forward and covered Duan Qing's mouth with his hand, and then after a burst of dry laughter, he turned back to the others and said, "I know this guy, he and his companions are locals, if you have anything to ask, just ask him."
"The two of you seem to ...... Familiar? The player's eyes of the Yangtze River No. 7 roamed back and forth for a while: "This is the one we picked up on the side of the mountain a while ago, he was only one person at the time, and he looked very embarrassed......"
"Aha......" Meteoric Dream, who instantly became the focus of everyone's attention, hurriedly let out a few laughs: "That's ...... It was when I was on an adventure alone and accidentally encountered an avalanche and fell from the top of the mountain, if it weren't for the help of Brother Seven, I might have been buried under the snow and returned to the City of Freedom......"
"Let me guess...... You can't have an avalanche a few days ago, right? Duan Qing squinted his eyes and asked, "The location is near the mountain road in the south?"
"You, how do you know?" Meteoric Dream's eyes widened, "Could it be that you were there too?"
"I'm there for a thousand reasons, so it's not surprising." Duan Qing squinted his eyes and asked, "It's you...... Why did you end up in that kind of place? ”
"It's me, it's me!" Meteoric Dream immediately emphasized twice, turning his back to the eyes of the others and constantly squeezing at Duan Qing: "Isn't it normal for me to appear over there?" I'm a true adventurer! A small avalanche...... Uh, no, no, although I don't know why such a calm place suddenly bursts with such powerful energy...... Uh, that's not right...... I said, let's stop exposing each other, okay? ”
"Huh." What answered him was Duan Qing's standard sneer: "I don't know who suddenly ran out to join in the fun...... Well, where do you want to go now? ”
"I'm free now, and I can go wherever I want." Meteor immediately crossed his waist: "Of course...... If I go to see the Tinslin mentioned in that ballad, I don't mind......"
"Hmph, people like you are going to send ......" Duan Qing pursed his lips disdainfully, and then refuted loudly before the people around him could ask: "I have such a sweet dream every day, how can you go to that kind of place if you want to?" The city in the sky has been searched for by players for so long, and now it's still like a mirage......"
"This strange brother...... Do you really know anything? ”
A pair of suddenly stretched out hands interrupted Duan Qing's words, and at the same time, the pair of expectant eyes of Yangtze River No. 7 appeared: "We...... Ah, this is not the place to talk, how about we talk in another place? ”
“…… Hey, did you misunderstand something? I just made an analogy with him, and didn't say I really knew......"
"This is Brother Mo's quest item, right? Our brothers don't have any strengths, the only strength is this strength, you and your companion don't care, we'll help you move it right away......"
"Huh? Belch...... Well, thank you for your kindness, but these things are heavy, so be careful ......."
"Levitation!"
Before Duan Qing could finish speaking, a hooded mage in the opposing team suddenly raised his staff, and then surrounded the large piece of cyan energy condensed directly below those packages, and several teammates who were also surrounded by cyan energy hurriedly rushed forward, holding those packages into his arms one by one, and Duan Qing, who was looking at all this, withdrew his gaze with a blank face, and then put it on the piece of wood that he had worked hard to repair for a long time: "It's so simple that I want to hit someone......
"So technology is power, right?" Xue Lingphantom Bing, who had already been laughing on the side, then walked to his side: "The required labor is also in place, and the problem has been solved, uncle, what are you not satisfied with?"
"It's hard to meet such an enthusiastic savage now, and it doesn't feel right no matter how you look at it." Looking at the figures who were leaving quickly in front of him, Duan Qing sighed and waved his hand: "Hurry up and catch up, otherwise we may become fools who are touched by porcelain."
"Don't be so disbelieving, it's the team that rescued me." Meteorite on the side immediately shouted dissatisfiedly: "I heard that the Empire's Lakala Province is an inaccessible place, and it is very scary for players to survive in that place...... Hey, don't leave me alone! Wait for me! ”
The cold wind that was still blowing continuously then drowned out the footsteps of several people who had originally left, and at the same time brought the slightest words between them into the distance, and the magician, whose face and body were extremely embarrassed, then caught up with the footsteps of Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Ice with difficulty, and slowly disappeared into the white line at the western end of the snowfield.
******************************
The unfounded suspicions from Duan Qing still didn't take effect after all, and the team that was suddenly formed in the middle of the road was able to go on like this, and while the large number of people dispersed most of the possible threats, it also made Mengzhu, who greeted them later, stunned - knowing that Duan Qing had hung back to Xingfeng Spring, the little girl had already expressed a big dissatisfaction, but she didn't expect that when Duan Qing came to converge, the two people who were originally scheduled to become more than a dozen people.
This also made the plan that had been written in the little girl's mind even more nervous, along with the rations originally prepared.
"It's hard enough for us to raise so many people, you have to find the extra food yourself! And also...... You can't bring the enemy in such a big move, right? ”
"The movement on the edge of Xifeng County has become so lively because of the incident in Hulan Mountain, I doubt how you have kept it for so long without being discovered." Duan Qing pursed his lips helplessly: "As for so many more mouths...... Isn't it enough to think of them as labor? ”
"I don't care, I don't care, you're going to deal with so much mess anyway!" Mengzhu, who pulled Duan Qing aside, danced and said, "It's already annoying enough, but you actually brought a bunch of people over...... Sister Xue has been following you all along, right? Why didn't she say a word to you? ”
"She's all the ones to be expelled, where is the idle person who talks to me."
Answering this embarrassing question helplessly, Duan Qing turned to look at the temporary camp in the distance: "Have you found Kidd and them?"
"Kidd didn't find it, but found another group of troubles." It seemed to mention his tragic experience in the recent past, and Mengzhu's voice became much lower: "I was going to look for you immediately after the escort, but we were only halfway through the road, and we were approached......
"That big movement didn't stop everyone?" Duan Qing raised his eyebrows in a slightly surprised manner: "Report the name, I want to see which sacred ...... it is."
"Not the Restorationists."
With an irritated face and a wave of his hand, Mengzhu's voice interrupted Duan Qing's words urgently, and then after a moment's pause, his expression became unnatural: "Yes, it's that guy......"
"That guy ......" Duan Qing asked helplessly, "Which guy is it?"
"It's an old acquaintance from our Greenstone Village, you must know ......"
“…… An old acquaintance from Greenstone Village? Do we have any old acquaintances in Greenstone Village? Duan Qing's eyes widened slightly: "Apart from the old village chief and his wife and the blacksmith, what other acquaintances do we have?" Even the little boy Benny was in the ...... of the villagers before."
"yes, there's another person."
Looking at Duan Qing's sudden stop talking, the little girl pouted and shook the golden braid on the back of her head: "That...... The bad old man who likes to sing, he also suddenly appeared, and not only that, but he also brought a group of villagers from Greenstone Village with him......"
"With ...... A group of villagers? Duan Qing asked in great surprise.
"The villagers said he saved them because he ...... He is a veteran. ”
Looking back at the place where the makeshift camp was, Mengzhu tilted his head sideways and quietly replied, "At that time, he was holding a long sword that he got from nowhere, and he was covered in blood and scars, if it weren't for his messy beard and voice that still likes to sing, we wouldn't have recognized him......"
"So powerful?" So Duan Qing's gaze also turned to the same direction: "And why is it a veteran?" Is Greenstone Village a suitable place for retirement? ”
"Now that I think about it, the song that the bad old man sang when he was lying on the road seems to have something to do with the battlefield or something." Mengzhu pinched it and recalled: "It's just that I didn't expect it...... This guy actually escaped with a few people, and managed to find our head at that time......"
“…… What about him now? ”
"Of course I'm locked up!"
Ignoring Duan Qing's mouth opening wide again, the little girl's expression immediately became angry: "I only shout at the top of my throat every day, and I actually want to drink!" Do we look so safe? Is it so magnanimous? ”
“…… Well, I see what you mean by trouble. Recalling the old man's incomplete roar like a broken gong, Duan Qing raised his head and sighed: "I'm just curious...... Since he still has two more strokes, how did you lock him up? ”
"Of course...... Heck, you'll find out for yourself. The depressed little girl then waved her hand and pointed to a corner of the temporary camp not far away: "Even the old village chief who saw him didn't say a word for a long time, what else do we little adventurers have to say......
“…… All right. ”
His gaze fell on a makeshift thatched house at the end of the direction that Mengzhu was pointing to, and Duan Qing said with interest: "I said it when I was in the novice village before......"
"My favorite thing to hear is the stories of those old people."
