Chapter 45: Covenants (1)
"Little Joan!little Joan!" a faint voice came into my head.
"Joan!Joan!" another voice sounded.
Who's calling me? Is it her? It doesn't seem to be, it's two male voices.
Who could it be? Is it him?
"Who?"
"It's me, Xiao Qiong, Lao Xu!"
"Yes, yes, and me! Gu Chengzi!"
"Old Xu, Gu Chengzi?"
I opened my eyes again in a daze, and vaguely saw two large faces in front of my eyes, looking nervously at me and shouting at me. I blinked, the blur in my eyes gradually faded, and the two big faces began to become clear.
"Lao Xu...... Gu Chengzi ......, "My voice is completely silent.
"Yes, it's us!" Lao Xu said anxiously, and nodded violently.
It turned out to be the two of them, and I remembered that at that time, Fleur's blanket rolled up the three of us and flew in the direction of the outside of town. However, due to the thinner air in the sky, I fell asleep during the flight.
"Ahem!ahem!" I coughed uncontrollably, and the two of them helped me up, Lao Xu put one hand along my back, and Gu Chengzi took out a water bag with the other hand and asked me to drink saliva. I saw the bag of water, and out of the instinct of survival, I snatched it with both hands, shook the sand off my face, raised my head, and drank the bag of water.
"Don't choke!" Lao Xu reprimanded me as he brushed my back.
"Don't drink so much, or we'll run out of water to drink. Gu Chengzi said worriedly on the side.
"Ahh......h
"It's okay, Xiao Qiong, don't listen to him, drink as much as you want. Lao Xu smiled at me and said.
"I ...... I'm enough, don't drink anymore. I tightened the water bag and gave it back to Gu Chengzi, who hesitantly took it and clipped it to his belt.
When Lao Xu saw us like this, he was embarrassed to say anything. The two of them helped me up, and I struggled to my feet, scanning around again suspiciously, to make sure I was really out of the place.
The three of us stood in the middle of the desert, with nothing but sand around us. In this desolate desert, if you stand here alone, you will definitely panic and despair. Luckily, though, I have two companions, so they shouldn't panic.
"Lao Xu, where are we?" I asked Lao Xu uneasily.
"I don't know. Lao Xu scratched the back of his head with one hand and said in embarrassment.
"You don't know!"
"Ouch, don't make such a fuss about it. Of course, I don't know where we are, but I've already estimated where we are. Lao Xu looked at me with disgust, and then raised his hand, and the thumb and index finger of both hands were joined together to form a rectangular shape. Then, with one eye closed and the other open, through the rectangle, he observed his surroundings in a similar way.
"What are you doing here?" Gu Chengzi and I were both stunned, and we didn't know what he was doing.
"I probably know, we're ...... now," he said, pretending to be confident.
"Brother Gu, where are we?" Gu Chengzi said nervously.
"Outside town!" he shouted confidently, looking at us earnestly.
"Phew! I still need to say it!" Gu Chengzi and I were so nervous that our hearts were about to jump out of our hearts, but I didn't expect to be put on a table by him again. Fortunately, Gu Chengzi grabbed me, otherwise he would have punched me.
"Oh! just kidding!" Lao Xu rolled his eyes at me and continued, "We are probably north of the town now, near the Tianshan Mountains. ”
"Tianshan?"
"Well, look at that, that's the Tianshan Mountains. Lao Xu pointed into the distance.
I looked in the direction that Lao Xu was pointing, and indeed, there was really a high mountain there. Could it be that this mountain is the mountain of my dreams? I looked at it carefully, and looked at it several times before I breathed a sigh of relief. This is not the mountain in my dreams, it is much higher than this one, and no matter how you look at it, it is not as majestic and precipitous as that mountain.
Lao Xu and Gu Chengzi also looked at the Tianshan Mountains motionlessly, both of them could see their gods, as if they were thinking about something.
"Lao Xu, where are we going?" I patted Lao Xu on the shoulder, and only then did he come back to his senses and adjust his state.
"What did you say?" asked Lao Xu.
"What are we going to do now, go back to town and save Fleur?" I asked, with a sigh.
I knew that my worries were actually unnecessary, and I also knew that he would not go back.
"Go back to town? stupid! What are you going back for, going back to die?" Lao Xu crossed his hands on his hips, looked into the distance, and shook his head helplessly.
"Brother Gu, why don't we go to the vicinity of the Tianshan Mountains to have a look. Gu Chengzi said thoughtfully.
"Why are you going so far to Tianshan?" a huge question mark hung on Lao Xu's head.
"I dreamed of it when I was groggy before. His expression became serious, and Lao Xu and I glanced at each other, and we didn't know what the situation was.
"What, that mountain?" Lao Xu looked at Gu Chengzi with a surprised expression, and so did I.
"You mean you've dreamed of that mountain?" I said, half-convinced.
"Well, I dreamed that I was at the foot of that mountain, and it seemed like I was in the mountain, and I kept walking around. And then...... It's gone. Gu Chengzi frowned, held his mouth, and his facial features were squeezed together, as if he was trying to find more relevant memories.
"When did you dream of it?" Lao Xu asked Gu Chengzi very seriously, as if he was interrogating a prisoner.
"Like...... Not long after dreaming of the Valley of Scrap Machines. Gu Chengzi looked at Lao Xu very embarrassedly, looking speechless.
"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" Lao Xu's tone became stern, this was the first time he had seen him like this.
"I ...... I just remembered it. Gu Chengzi shook his head, he should be helpless.
I looked at Gu Chengzi's appearance, and I was actually a little worried and scared in my heart when I dreamed of this Tianshan Mountain. Although we went to the Valley of Scrap Machinery with a dream, everyone didn't believe it, but in the end, we did get Zhuang Zhou's box, which also shows that his dream is still worth believing. However, his original state was too bad to keep it, it was just an ordinary dream.
It's not that I don't want to believe him, it's just that I have my own concerns.
"Or ......" I said two words tentatively, Gu Chengzi and Lao Xu turned their eyes to look at me, waiting for me to continue talking, I took a deep breath and continued, "Why don't we go back to the base! We can move the rescue soldiers! Then go back to Lazy Town to save them!"
Lao Xu and Gu Chengzi looked at each other, sighed at the same time, and then looked at me with very sympathetic eyes.
"What's wrong? No?" I asked.
"You have this idea, in fact, we have thought of it before you wake up. But......" Lao Xu said and turned his head away.
"But what?
"Yes, yes, it's just that the captain told me through the communicator at the last minute, and she said, don't go back to the base. Lao Xu said helplessly, "I don't know why she said that." ”
"Fleur said she couldn't go back to base, why?" I said, puzzled.
"Maybe she's worried that we'll be followed when we return to the base, which will be a burden to our companions in the base. Gu Chengzi said softly on the side.
When Lao Xu and I heard him say this, it dawned on us that Brother Mo, who knew his sister, was also.
When I was still lamenting that Gu Chengzi could suddenly think of Fu Yuan's intentions, Lao Xu patted his head, the whole person bounced up like a spring, and shouted with his hands dancing:
"Oh no!"
"Ahh
Lao Xu didn't say a word, his left hand reached into the cuff of his right hand, and he didn't know what he was digging for a long time, he gritted his teeth and kept looking for it, and finally took out a small cuboid the size of a thumb from the cuff.
At first, I thought it was just a small piece of wood, but when I got closer, it looked like a truck. Lao Xu put the small truck on the ground, then took out a small bottle from his pocket, took out a drop and dripped it on the small truck.
Lao Xu pulled us and asked us to take three steps back, and Gu Chengzi and I obediently took three steps back.
Then, a whirlpool of multicolored light appeared on the van, and in the middle of the whirlpool was a black circle, which at first glance seemed to be absorbing something.
The little truck began to grow larger, and the multicolored whirlpool gradually grew larger, and I only felt myself slowly floating, about to be sucked by the whirlpool. However, fortunately, Gu Chengzi pressed my shoulder in time, otherwise I would really have been sucked in.
After a while, the thumb-sized truck eventually turned into a normal-sized truck, and I looked at it, wasn't this the same truck that Lao Xu had taken me back to Lazy Town?
"Old Xu ......"
I just wanted to speak, Lao Xu opened the door of the warehouse and rushed up, and Gu Chengzi and I also climbed up with him.
This warehouse is much more luxurious than we imagined, it is full of all kinds of machinery and equipment, and there are several large boxes of drinking water, no wonder Lao Xu doesn't mind me drinking a little more water, it turns out that the water here is enough for us to drink for several months.
Lao Xu sat on a communication device, tapped something, then picked up the communicator and shouted over and over again: "Hey, hey, hey!"
Gu Chengzi and I looked at each other a few times, and from each other's eyes, we could be sure that the other party didn't know what the situation was, so it was better than a person who didn't understand the situation.
"Hey~Hey~ Shanshan?"
Suddenly, a woman's voice came from the communication device, and as soon as Lao Xu heard her voice, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person instantly relaxed from his tense demeanor.
Seeing him like this, as well as the woman's tone, anyone could guess that the person talking to him could only be Jiang Man.
But he wasn't completely reassured, he took a few breaths, adjusted his state, and said in a very magnetic tone to the person in the communicator.
"Man, are you okay?" Gu Chengzi and I almost vomited when we heard his tone.
"Shanshan! really Shanshan! Are you safe?" Jiang Man exclaimed excitedly.
"We're safe for the time being, what's going on at the base!" Lao Xu asked worriedly and anxiously.
"We're pretty good now?Shanshan~When are you coming back?I just saw the blanket come back, it went around like crazy, I didn't see you, I was very worried~"
Jiang Man kept being coquettish to Lao Xu, the first time he heard her talk like this, everyone might be uncomfortable, but he was used to seeing these two people in the base before, and now he doesn't feel strange.
"Say it again!" Lao Xu suddenly shouted loudly.
"How...... What's wrong?Shanshan~ Did I do it wrong?" Jiang Man's tone immediately became very aggrieved.
"No, no, no, Manman is great, you just said that the blanket went back?" Lao Xu said anxiously.
"Yes, it's back, but no one pays attention to it, it seems to be angry, and now it doesn't know where to go. ”
"Manman, you quickly inform the people in the base to evacuate, transfer now, as soon as you can! Transfer immediately!" Lao Xu almost shouted hoarsely, but in the face of Jiang Man, he was reluctant to shout.
"Why?" Jiang Man asked incomprehensibly.
"Now that the captain has been captured by laziness, Mo Qingyan ...... In short, you hurry up and transfer everyone now, otherwise it's really too late!" Lao Xu was anxious and his hands were about to tremble.
"Captain and Mo Qingyan, didn't you say that you are safe for the time being?"
"I'm with Gu Chengzi and Xiaoqiong now, and we don't know where we are now!
"Okay, okay, I'll call everyone out now!"
"You go!"
The communication was cut off, and Lao Xu's eyes were full of fear, he was ...... What are you afraid of?
