Chapter 45: The Return of Beech

After saying this, Li Yueqin looked at He Ming, and after not seeing He Ming's performance for a while, she said:

"Just, give me some time, okay? Also, please promise me that no matter what happens to me, you must protect yourself, because if I lose you again, I will not be able to hold on. ”

He Ming stepped forward and hugged her tightly, and the two hugged each other as best they could, each feeling each other's heartbeat for a long time.

They let go of their hands at the same time, and Li Yueqin said:

"I... I'm really happy now, I'm fine, and tell me more about your adventures, a country girl like me, who sometimes dreams of those distant worlds. I'll go and get busy first, I'll see you later. ”

After saying these words, the heroic woman with a confident face came back, and He Ming saw indescribable joy in his eyes. But as Li Yueqin said, they all need some time.

Seeing Li Yueqin leave, He Ming suddenly calmed down and was afraid, did not close the door, fell asleep, no longer had any thoughts, and slept extremely relaxed until dawn the next day.

In the following days, He Ming was as happy as a bird, he went to chat with Li Yueqin for a period of time every day, told each other about what he had experienced or found interesting, took care of the horses, helped the villagers with farm work, and did not forget his newly acquired weapon.

This sword, called Thunderbolt, is not made for humans no matter how you look at it, and if it is held in the hand of a three-meter-tall person, it is a long sword that is easy to handle.

That's not a problem alone, the problem is that it's too heavy for He Ming, a person who relies on speed and agility to fight.

With a slight estimate, it was four times the weight of the condensation cream that He Ming had used, and He Ming couldn't even wield it freely when he picked it up, how could he exert the power that Zuma Sect Master said?

It's just that it's not busy now, and He Ming has enough time to train and familiarize himself with this weapon.

Time flies, and many months have passed, and as he takes time to get used to this weapon every day and become familiar with this weapon, He Ming's arm strength has been greatly improved.

As he became more accustomed to and became proficient with this weapon, he was finally able to use the skin in the same way as he wielded any other weapon, and when his speed increased to the limit, he truly experienced what the Zuma Sect Master said, which could activate lightning energy, causing him to speed up as well.

As he wielded the weapon with all his might, his reaction sometimes couldn't keep up with his speed. The only problem was that the extraordinary speed would increase the physical exertion proportionally, and he would not be able to sustain the full power of the thunderbolt for long.

In the days of Viper Mountain Village, He Ming was diligent and enthusiastic, and the villagers liked him very much. And after getting along for so long, He Ming and Li Yueqin are getting closer and closer, and everyone is looking at it, and now they are wishing them one day that their relationship can go further.

Just as time passed plainly and happily, what the Sect Master Zuma had said began to come true: on a gloomy day, several civilians ran from Beach City along the roadless valley to the village of Viper Mountain!

At this time, there was no danger in the village, so He Ming and Li Yueqin were very idle in their own work, the weather was gloomy on this day, and it could rain at any time, so they were helping to clean up the grain in the village to prevent it from being wet by the rain and affecting the storage.

While they were busy, suddenly several ordinary people dressed in ordinary clothes ran towards the village from the side of the valley full of poisonous snakes, and it was obvious that some of them were injured.

Whether it was a person from Poisonous Snake Mountain Village or not, the people who were injured by poisonous snakes were all Li Yueqin's help, so He Ming hurriedly put down the farm work in his hand with Li Yueqin and ran towards them.

With the help of Li Yueqin's professional, they quickly calmed down the outsiders, and after examination, three of the five people who came were bitten by poisonous snakes, and only one was bitten by tiger snakes.

Li Yueqin hurried to detoxify and heal the wounded, while He Ming asked them why they were panicking through the dangerous Viper Valley from Beech.

The old man who took the lead said: "We have lived in Beach for many generations, and we are reluctant to leave if we can live, but Beach is getting more and more terrible now, and we really can't live!" ”

He Ming said: "Don't be nervous, it's not a match here, tell me what happened at the end?" ”

The old man said, "Alas, in the past, when the orcs were rampant, we all shrank in the city, and although we could not eat enough and wear warm, we would not die!" Later, the threat of orcs was small, so we went out of the city to make a living.

"How do you know that there are fewer and fewer people, often after a few days, someone is missing, and the investigator says that it is missing. I'm old, but I'm not afraid of dying, it's my hometown. ”

Then the middle-aged man next to him interjected: "Yes, I'm not afraid of dying in Beechcraft, but it's terrible, it's terrible, I saw with my own eyes that the old king who went to the west to cut down trees and came back went crazy!" Not only did he go crazy, but he also turned into a monster, and he grew a lot taller at once, and he had horns and salivation! ”

The old man continued with his words: "Not only that, but the person who stopped him at that time also became a monster a few days after being bitten, and we are not afraid of dying there, but we don't want to become like monsters!" It's better to be eaten by a snake than to be something like that, alas! ”

They said that seven men had come in company, and two remained on the road forever. He Ming and Li Yueqin exchanged glances, dealt with the injured, and settled them in an empty house, and He Ming and Li Yueqin went aside.

He Ming said: "It seems that our peaceful days are over, no matter how much they say is true, I have to go and see and figure out the situation." ”

Li Yueqin smiled: "It's not you, let's go together!" ”

He Ming said a little nervously when he heard this: "It's too dangerous over there in Beech, and I can't live without you here." ”

Li Yueqin said: "There are already poisonous snakes that are not afraid of people who are going to flee here, how long do you think we can be safe here, and where can I hide?" And I also figured out that I am not a guardian, and if I give these medicines and usage to the villagers, everyone can protect the village, which is much more reliable than me. ”

He Ming lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Then let's go together, how can I say that Beechcraft is also my hometown, and I still can't let go of this kind of thing happening over there." But I'm still a wanted man over there, so I don't know what the outcome of this trip will be. ”

Li Yueqin said: "A little disguise, I still know how to dress up, you wait, it's without further ado, let's hurry up and prepare and set off early." ”

After they got ready, Li Yueqin brought a hat to He Ming, plus changed into a completely different outfit, tied his hair again, and became much stronger for so long, don't be able to tell at a glance that he was He Ming when he left Beach at that time.

Ready, since the valley without roads could not be crossed by horses, Li Yueqin entrusted it to the villagers, left a few medicines, taught them how to use them, and they hurried to set off in the direction of Beach.

Li Yueqin was surprisingly familiar with the Viper Valley, and took He Ming over a few mountains to the junction quickly, stepping past the landmark that represented the junction, He Ming stopped.

Li Yueqin said, "What's wrong? Remembering a lot of things, right? ”

He Ming said: "Not far from here is the mine, where Marriott and Haoran sacrificed. That's because of what happened in this mine that I left Beechcraft and met you. ”

Seeing his expression with mixed feelings, Li Yueqin said: "Yes, but now this is Beechcraft, you are more familiar than me, you have to be your guide, now is not the time to remember the past." ”

He Ming nodded and said, "Yes, let's go to the post station between here and Beach City first, which is the most suitable place to inquire about the news here." ”

After saying that, the two of them went along the road, and arrived at the inn without any accidents, and they decided to take a short rest here first, and by the way, inquire about the news in Beachtown.

Then he found that the atmosphere in the post station was very different from before, everyone felt very nervous, He Ming couldn't help but be a little strange, he was cautious, he didn't reveal his identity, and went up to chat with the very talkative guardian in his impression.

This guard obviously didn't know who He Ming was, after all, when he was still in Beach, He Ming rarely spoke when he passed by this post station, just resting here for a while.

But in my impression, this particularly talkative guardian has also become silent, and his inquiries are only answered when asked, although his talkative personality describes the answers more vividly, and it can still be seen in his words that this person is worried.

As He Ming fully understood why these people were worried, after the mine attracted a large number of people to make a living, the population of Beach City dropped sharply, from the extremely large population at that time, a large number of people came out to develop to the present, and even the operation of the city was not enough.

The lord of the city who found the problem tried to recall the population back into the city, and after statistics, he found that the total population was nearly half less than half of the people who pioneered outside the city! The city lord was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the cause, and the inspectors had also visited the post several times, but it seemed that the results of the investigation had not yet been obtained.

Due to the sharp decline in population and the previous mining fever, Beechcraft now has too much ore to replenish, and no more ore is purchased, resulting in this road to the mine becoming deserted.

Aside from the occasional encounter with investigators from the city, the guards felt as if they had stepped back in time to a time when things were all about to be in crisis.

But the city is now very safe, and according to some passers-by, a religion is now prevalent in Beach, and those who believe in it are happy and happy, and they are very polite and helpful, which greatly improves the atmosphere of Beach, so that the lord of the city does not control this religion much.

What the guards didn't tell He Ming was that the soldiers outside the city knew about the terrible things that had mutated into monsters, and in order not to make a riot, they just didn't publicize it in the city, and every soldier outside was like a big enemy at any time!
