Chapter 281: Sinking (Star Landing City Chapter)
The next development can be said to be unexpected and reasonable.
Despite the near-humble attitude of the villagers, they held the orc white snake high above the sky, as if defeating the gods. But it didn't change the ending.
The white snake came out to forage for food in order to recover from its injuries, but without the presence of Ya'er, it lost interest in talking nonsense with the ants in front of it.
What's more, these people in front of him belong to the same human race as Bai Yutang, who injured him. Seeing them groveling made it rise with boundless anger.
"I was wounded by my fellow people of these things? I am a noble superior race, a descendant of the Jiao God! Damn, damn thing. β
In the chaotic scene, in the terrifying scene of blood rain and severed limbs, the little boy who stood in place with weak legs watched the head of a snake the size of a truck, with his hideous fangs wide open and devouring him.
Although he has been surviving in the cracks between the Warcraft territory, the little boy whose news is closed and cannot go too far into the forest, how has he ever seen such a scene?
A fishy smell came to his nose, and in his eyes that were almost desperate, the pair of deep cold fangs and dark purple slippery snake letters were reflected.
β¦β¦
"Ho ho ho ~ damn it. Is it so weak that it has no means to threaten the White Snake in the slightest, so it can only be slaughtered? β
Returning to the scene at the beginning of the village, Zheng Ming couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse. It seemed to be affected by the little boy's desperation, his mood was slightly sluggish, and the expression on his face became more and more irritable.
Next, Zheng Ming went through hundreds of reincarnations, searched for the methods in his mind, and tried. However, the slaughter of the village by the White Snake seemed to be an unchangeable fact, and no matter how much he struggled, he could not avoid it.
He had tried to save Bai Yutang from death, and he had also risked being blamed by the whole village, risking his own life to set fire to the village, wanting them to leave before the White Snake arrived.
However, it backfired, and in the end, he still had to watch his people being slaughtered, including himself, or look at the village that had been reduced to ruins, and he was overwhelmed with grief.
Reincarnation after reincarnation, the time interval between Zheng Ming's possession is getting shorter and shorter, and the time between being able to possess is getting longer and longer. The surrounding scenes have gradually become a reality-like whole from short jumping scenes.
And Zheng Ming himself is also gradually lost in the experience of possession again and again, under the influence of the little boy's body and emotions. He gradually couldn't tell whether the life called Zheng Ming was his own child's imagination or whether it really existed.
Yes. My name is Zheng Ming, and I am a traverser. I'm doing a mental assessment. is experiencing a strange fantasy that is constantly circulating......
My name is Ming, and I am a traverser. It's in a weird fantasy that keeps circulating......
My name is Ming, and I am a traverser. I was able to go back in time and change the future......
Zheng Ming reminded himself again and again, but after several reincarnations, there would always be some memories that he was originally sure to become less reliable, and gradually fade from ambiguity to finally disappear.
"Brother Ming, take me to catch the silverback fairy."
A crisp and melodious familiar figure sounded in front of itself, full of excitement and joy.
Zheng Ming, who was lying on the grass with Erlang's legs crossed, holding the grass stalks in his mouth, basking in the sun, raised his right arm to block the sun when he heard the words, and squinted his eyes to follow the prestige.
It was a little girl standing in the backlight, and only the sparkling eyes in the shadows shone like eternal stars.
"Brother Naru~"
The coquettish tail note provoked Zheng Ming's gentle nerves, and then he felt a weight in his arms.
Looking down, Ya'er, who threw herself into his arms like a swallow returning to the nest, also happened to raise her head. After hearing Zheng Ming's muffled snort, he stuck out his tongue mischievously.
In an instant, various pictures of the other party's tragic death seemed to flash in Zheng Ming's mind, coinciding with the bright and innocent smile in front of him.
Love, pampering, distress, all kinds of emotions rose from Zheng Ming's heart, mixed together and turned into a spicy breath, straight to his nose. He only felt that his nose was sour and his eyes were astringent, so he quickly gently pushed Ya'er away and stood up.
"Ah~ You're so annoying. I really can't help you. β
After covering up his abnormality in a complaining tone, Zheng Ming patted the grass clippings stained on the animal skin coat and took Ya'er's hand.
"Let's talk about it first, this is the last time. After you leave the village, you have to listen to me, no matter what happens. β
Seeing that the little girl nodded like pounding garlic, Zheng Ming hurriedly straightened her before she fell, and said angrily: "Idiot." Be careful to shake your head off. β
Then, as had happened countless times in his memory, Zheng Ming pulled Ya'er out of the village, evaded the fleeing guards, and before the tiger spotted them, he walked into a hidden path, and then stepped through the hole covered by vines and grass and trees, and entered the cave.
"Yo Roar~"
Yo roar~~~roar~~roar~
Zheng Ming dotingly glanced at the little girl who was giggling with his echo, shook his head helplessly and walked to the entrance of the cave.
Sure enough, as he expected, as in the countless previous cycles, the white jade soup with his hair scattered and covered in injuries staggered into the entrance of the cave.
"Hey, how are you?"
"Hmm...... Ahem. Water, help me hold a bowl of cold pool water. This water is miraculous and can soothe my injuries. β
After Zheng Ming asked as usual, he heard Bai Yutang's weak request, and nodded again and again as if he had expected it.
"Good. I don't have anything to hold water for, though. β
After explaining a sentence as if explaining, Zheng Ming put his hand into the placket of Bai Yutang's stunned eyes.
It seems that it was because he relaxed his vigilance after suddenly encountering someone, or it could be that Zheng Ming's movements touched his injury, in short, Bai Yutang passed out, and Zheng Ming's search action became more and more smooth.
Soon, Zheng Ming took out a lotus flower that seemed to be condensed from water from the sleeve of the white jade soup, and even took out two snake eggs from it.
The lesson of the previous reincarnation told Zheng Ming that both of these things have the smell of the white snake used to track, which may not be obvious in this cave, but once you get out of the cave, you will definitely be chased by the white snake.
This is also the purpose of Zheng Ming deliberately throwing away the gourd containing water on his waist when he came, and he is acting here.
After casually throwing the snake eggs and water lotus into the cold pool, Zheng Ming used the picked leaf of water lotus to fill some cold pool water and poured it into the mouth of the white jade soup.
"Ahem, ahem...... Ahem, cough, cough. β
After being stimulated by the icy cold pool water, Bai Yutang regained his senses and coughed repeatedly to prop up his upper body.
"Thank you...... Thank you. β
While thanking Zheng Ming, he touched his chest, which was a little cold, and soon realized the fact that what he was carrying there had disappeared.
"This ......"
Just as Bai Yutang was groping for the placket on his chest in astonishment, Zheng Ming stepped forward and put on an innocent expression.
"Abba said not to pick up the beast's things and take them home, otherwise you are likely to be chased by the beast with a keen sense of smell and taken away. Oh, my Abba is the best hunter in the village. β
"So that Jiao...... Snake eggs thrown away? β
"Hmm."
"Where?"
Seeing Bai Yutang anxiously looking around, although Zheng Ming maintained an innocent look on his face, a trace of disdain flashed in his heart.
"Whoa."
Bai Yutang saw that Zheng Ming pointed to the cold pool in the center of the cave with a nonchalant face, and his already bloodless face became more and more ugly.
"What about the water lotus? It won't be ......" Bai Yutang looked at Hantan and then at Zheng Ming, his face full of disbelief.
And Zheng Ming did not live up to the other party's expectations, nodded thoughtfully, and said nonchalantly: "Well, you are right. I accidentally dropped it when I was in the middle of the cold pool. After speaking, he stuck out his tongue with a lot of bad taste.
Zheng Ming's action was normal in Bai Yutang's eyes. A half-grown boy was embarrassed by his own recklessness.
Seeing this, Bai Yutang didn't say much, sighed deeply, and went limp as if his spine had been removed.
And Zheng Ming saw that the expression on Bai Yutang's face was uncertain, and he sighed lightly and regretfully, and he didn't talk to the other party boringly, but pushed Ya'er, who was watching from a distance, to Bai Yutang's side.
Under Zheng Ming's secretly observed with interest, Bai Yutang, who was hanging his head, suddenly stiffened his expression, and then began to look at Ya'er intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing that Bai Yutang had discovered Ya'er's specialness, Zheng Ming took Ya'er to say goodbye and leave on the grounds that it was not early, regardless of Bai Yutang's retention.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Zheng Ming stole some food and herbs and left the village.
Unlike Ya'er's Abba, the perennial priest in the village. His Abba was a hunter, and it was not uncommon for him to stalk down his prey and hunt for days without returning to the village. Especially in the summer, this is very common.
Plus his aunt is a very doting character. So when he wanted to go ahead with the plan, it was surprisingly convenient.
"Hey, you're still there, aren't you? Not dead, right? β
Before he entered the cave, Zheng Ming shouted several times to prevent the other party from killing him by mistake because of his vigilance. Although this situation is very rare, it is also something that Zheng Ming has encountered.
Seeing that the white jade soup in the cave barely propped up his upper body and looked over, Zheng Ming walked in front of him with a big grin and handed over the food and medicinal materials in his hand.
"This is the herb I secretly took at the doctor's house. You see if it works for you. β
Hearing Zheng Ming's voice, he shook his head slightly, spread out the white jade soup in the medicine bag with a helpless face, and saw that the medicinal materials inside were pale, and carefully observed for a long time, and then looked up at Zheng Ming suspiciously.
"Silver-threaded geranium stems used to clear heat and detoxify, purple-backed grass roots used to stop bleeding, crape myrtle red leaves, black and grass that help to grow muscles. These are all herbs that have worked for my injuries. I didn't expect Xiaoyou to understand herbal medicine? β
Seeing Bai Yutang's cautious attitude, and even his title changed slightly, Zheng Ming waved his hand again and again and said, "My father is a hunter and is often injured. I just took the herbs as I remembered. It's not going to be a medical skill. β
After Bai Yutang heard Zheng Ming's explanation, although he was still a little concerned, he also accepted the other party's statement.
Come to think of it, how can a half-grown boy in his early teens be proficient in pharmacology?
"Eat. I brought it to you on purpose. If Abba knew that I had stolen the bacon from the house, he would have to beat my butt to the ground. β
In Zheng Ming's urging, Bai Yutang opened another package that was wrapped in green leaves. I saw a piece of bacon with a finger high and three widths about two palms long neatly placed there. Next to it are two fist-sized baked potatoes that still have residual warmth.
It seemed that he had been hungry for a long time, and Bai Yutang looked at the things in front of him that were not rich, but he swallowed his saliva again and again, and he couldn't stop it.
"Eat. I think you're hungry too. Only when you are full of food can the injury get better quickly. My Abba said that. β
After getting Zheng Ming's approval, Bai Yutang grabbed the food in front of him and devoured it.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Seeing that Bai Yutang was coughed again and again by potatoes, and covered his chest with a painful expression, Zheng Ming hurriedly took off the gourd on his waist and handed it over.
"Huh~~ha~~~."
"My name is Ming, what's your name?" After seeing Bai Yutang breathe a long sigh of relief, he continued to destroy the food in front of him, and after Zheng Ming's eyes flashed, he decided to take the initiative.
"Hmm...... My name is Bai Yutang. β
"Hey~~~ The name is so long. Everyone in our village has one name. You're an outsider, aren't you? β
A look of vigilance flashed on Bai Yutang's face, and he hurriedly asked, "Village?" Far from here? β
"If you go through the secret passage I discovered, it's not far, it's about an hour's walk. If you want to go the normal way, about three or four hours? β
Then, as Zheng Ming expected, Bai Yutang began to test the information about the village, and Zheng Ming also pretended to be naΓ―ve to tell the situation of the village.
"One has no affiliation. A small human village struggling to survive in the interstices of Warcraft's territory? This is not common on the outskirts of the Forest of Calamity, is it those orcs who are too lazy to take care of the small humans like ants? β
After hearing the information about the village revealed by Zheng Ming, Bai Yutang's expression relaxed. After whispering to himself, he asked the question that Zheng Ming had been waiting for for a long time.
"Speaking of which, the little girl who came with you yesterday didn't come with me."
"Oh, she. She is the daughter of our village priest, and the family is strictly controlled, and she also sneaked out with me last time. Zheng Ming said as if he had no intention.
"Really? Well...... Understandable. After all, she would be dangerous in the forest. β
"Huh? What did you say? β
"Ah, nothing. Don't care. β
Speaking of this, Zheng Ming did not continue to speak out to guide the topic, but looked around, and put on a look of losing interest in Bai Yutang.
And the rather harmonious conversation between the two was also like an illusion, and fell silent.
For a long time, just when Zheng Ming walked to the stone wall of the cave and put on a careful look, Bai Yutang, who had been pondering alone for a while, took the lead in opening the topic.
"Little friend...... I see that you have a spiritual root and are a good cultivator, are you interested in following me in cultivating? β
When Zheng Ming heard this, he secretly said "here" in his heart.
The smooth stone wall vaguely reflected the little boy's face, but it did not match his age, and on that expressionless face, two eyes like cold stars flickered frequently.
