Chapter 16: The Heroes' Conference
There was a faint candle flame burning in the stone room, and Zhang Yang was teasing the little daughter in his arms with his fingers.
"Daddy, Daddy!" The ten-month-old little Zhang Jing can already call her father, and when she calls like this, it means that this little girl wants to drink milk.
Zhang Yang put the milk bottle that had been prepared up for a long time, and the gluttonous cat bit the pacifier and drank it with a grunt.
"Long'er, you see Xiaojing is so cute, she looks more and more like you, and she will definitely be a big beauty when she grows up." Zhang Yang turned his head and said with a smile to the little dragon girl lying on the ribbon looking here.
I don't know if I was full, or if I really heard Zhang Yang's praise, Xiao Zhang Jing actually laughed and looked very happy.
"Yes, give me a hug." The little dragon girl fell lightly from the ribbon, squeezed out a smile on her cold face, and said softly.
Under the effect of Xiao Zhang Jing's lubricant, after ten months of getting along, Xiaolongnu's attitude towards Zhang Yang has changed greatly. It's no longer a cold face forever, and occasionally a smile appears.
"Xiaojing, go to your mother's arms, remember to call your mother!" After Zhang Yangle said a word to the little baby in his arms, he handed her to the little dragon girl.
"Mother...... Mother ......" The little girl's voice is a little jerky, but it's better than nothing, and under the teaching of Zhang Yangduo, at least she will say this word.
Maybe she felt that this little girl was born at the wrong time, and the little dragon girl didn't care about her at first, and even ignored her a little.
In the first three months, Xiao Zhang Jing was taken care of by Li Mochou and his apprentices in another stone room, and Xiaolongnu would occasionally come to see this little girl. Later, after discovering that she was so cute, the number of visits gradually increased.
When Zhang Yang discovered this phenomenon, he took the initiative to bring her over to find Xiaolongnu, not for anything else, at least to let Xiao Zhang Jing get the maternal love she deserved in her mother.
It's just that Zhang Yang is taking care of the little girl most of the time, so the first word she learned is father, and the second word is mother, which is of course Zhang Yang threatened with a bottle and forcibly poured her into the words.
What Xiaolongnu didn't know was that most of the objects of this little girl's motherhood were Hong Lingbo and Li Mochou, and they often made these two masters and apprentices laugh because of this word.
"Mother...... Niang ......" may have regarded Xiaolongnu as Li Mochou's master and apprentice, and the little girl screamed happily in a very non-standard tone.
"Huh...... She's so cute! The little dragon girl hugged her carefully, and her beautiful face was full of smiles.
"Long'er, there is something I want to discuss with you." Seeing a beautiful smile like a flower blooming on her face, Zhang Yang was stunned, and then said the opening remarks of this trip.
"Tell me what." The little dragon girl didn't raise her head in response.
"That's right, Xiaojing is about to turn old, and the ancient tomb has been dark and dark. If a child stays in it for a long time, I'm afraid it will get sick. So, I wanted to take her out and around to help her grow up healthy. Zhang Yang said slowly.
"You, you want to take her out?" The little dragon girl's voice finally changed slightly, with some surprise in her voice, and even a little panic.
"Just go out and travel, and then you'll be back in the tomb, after all, this is her home, and you're her mother." Zhang Yang said in a sincere tone, he heard the change in the voice of the little dragon girl, and couldn't help but be quite happy in his heart.
"......" The little dragon girl fell into silence, and was silent for a long time, just staring blankly at the little girl in her arms.
"Long'er, in fact, I want to say, can you go out with us, our family of three can go out by the way to breathe......" Zhang Yang said the purpose of his visit.
After another long time, the little dragon girl sighed slightly and said softly: "I don't want to go out of the ancient tomb again, you can go!" ”
After getting along with each other, Zhang Yang knew her surname, and once he decided on something, he would never change it easily, and he didn't ask for boring persuasion.
"You take this thing, if you want Xiaojing one day, and we don't come back, you can use this thing to find us."
As Zhang Yang spoke, he took out a black square box from his bosom, with a small screen on it and a red flashing bright spot in the middle of the glass screen.
If you look at it in modern times, you will know that this is something similar to radar, Zhang Yang has a transmitter on his body, and this special radar can detect a location wherever he goes.
"No matter where we are, just follow the red dot above and we will always find us." Zhang Yang explained simply, and handed the radar to the little dragon girl.
Of course, this thing was also redeemed by him from the system, and in order to prevent the little dragon girl from inadvertently damaging it, he also specially bought a waterproof radar, as well as a battery that can be used for more than five years.
"Yes!" The little dragon girl glanced at the strange thing, and didn't ask anything, but just took it in her hand with a gentle sigh of gratitude.
Just because Zhang Yang had already taken out a lot of strange things in the morning, such as baby bottles, diapers and so on, she had long been surprised.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yang was about to go outside the ancient tomb with the little girl in his arms, and Li Mochou and Hong Lingbo naturally followed, they had long wanted to immediately go to this dark ghost place.
In order to be able to take the little girl out, Zhang Yang prepared a closed large wooden box of about one square meter, two hemp ropes, and two large stones weighing more than 100 catties were tied to one end of the hemp rope with the thickness of the child's arm.
As long as you go out, put the little girl in a big wooden box. By pressing down the buoyancy of the wooden box with the gravity of the stone, it can sink smoothly underwater, and the air in the closed wooden box is enough for the little girl to breathe underwater.
As for Li Mochou's master and apprentice, they didn't know water at all, so they had to grab the edge of the wooden box and be dragged out by Zhang Yang.
The last time they entered the ancient tomb, Li Mochou and the others hired a fisherman with a good surname to come, and after entering the ancient tomb, the unlucky fisherman was put aside by them.
Li Mochou originally wanted to find the Jade Maiden's Heart Sutra and leave, but later it must have been the natural release of the fisherman's acupoint, so he fled as if he were flying.
With the painful lesson of the last time, Zhang Yang came prepared this time. He redeemed the night vision diving goggles from the system, and before going into the water, in order to ensure the safety of the little baby, he also went into the water to detect the path once.
After investigating the situation under Hantan, he was also a lot relieved. In fact, the depth of this cold pool is about three zhang, and the passage along the way is about one zhang long and wide, enough for the box to pass through.
At the bottom of the cold pool, there is almost a two-zhang long underwater passage, in fact, the most troublesome place to enter the ancient tomb is in this underwater passage.
It's just that there are strange rocks here, there are some curvatures, and it is pitch black inside, and the cold pool is living water, and the water is surging, which naturally makes people quite scared.
After having night vision goggles to observe, Zhang Yang was relieved, as long as he dragged the box for two feet, he could untie the rope tied to the stone by itself, and he could let the box float naturally.
After Zhang Yang returned to the ancient tomb, he first put the little girl into a wooden box covered with cotton wool, then sealed the box, and then let Li Mochou and Hong Lingbo hold their breath, grabbed the edge of the wooden box, and then threw the wooden box into the water.
With early preparation, he didn't encounter much resistance along the way, and he got out of the cold pool.
The four of them left the ancient tomb, and there was no fixed direction to go, just because they had stayed in the ancient tomb for too long, and Zhang Yang's only request now was to find a place with many people to go.
Li Mochou traveled south and north in his early years, and was very familiar with the map of rivers and lakes, so he naturally served as the guide for this trip.
In a nearby market town, they found a cart drawn by two old horses to help them get around, as they didn't have to hurry.
Stop and stop along the way, eat and drink, and see the customs of the north and south, but it is not pleasant.
As for the silver, Zhang Yang can exchange it in the system, and Li Mochou and Hong Lingbo also have some valuable jewels on them, so they don't have to worry about it at all.
Before I knew it, more than a month had passed, and the journey along the way was generally calm. It's just that when they passed by a deserted place, they encountered a wave of bandits with more than a dozen people, wanting to block the road and rob. Of course, these crowds of rude men can only be cannon fodder, not only did they not grab the money, but they licked and entangled them for publicity.
This day, Zhang Yang and the four of them felt a little thirsty halfway through, so they stopped at a tea shop on the side of the road and drank some tea.
"Xianggong, you sit down first, and I'll pour you tea." Hong Lingbo was originally a little girl, who was more open than Li Mochou, and knew how to please Zhang Yang along the way.
"Xianggong, let's hug Xiaojing, you must be tired of hugging along the way." Li Mochou has a soft spot for little Lori, and wants to hug her whenever she has the opportunity.
"I'm not tired, this girl just fell asleep, if she is replaced, it will be easy to wake her up." Zhang Yang said with a slight smile.
Li Mochou had no choice but to answer, and withdrew his hand in disappointment, but he didn't dare to say anything.
The tea shop is not big, and there are three people sitting at a table next to it, one old and two young, all three of them are wearing patched clothes, looking like people in the beggar gang.
The old man, with white hair, a wooden cane, and several pockets on his back, looked like someone of some status in the beggar gang.
The two young men also carried a few pockets on their backs, but not as many as the old man. The three of them are all full of energy, at least they are all people who have practiced martial arts.
Two of the three young people didn't know whether they were curious about a big man holding a child, or greedy for the beauty of Li Mochou and Hong Lingbo, and often aimed their eyes at them.
"Look at what, be careful that I gouge out your eyeballs." Except for when facing Zhang Yang, Li Mochou has always had a hot temper. "You girl, why are you so vicious, your eyes are on me, I can look at whoever I like, what do you want?" One of the fat men couldn't help but slap the table and retort menacingly.
After Li Mochou and Hong Lingbo came out of the ancient tomb, they had already changed into beautiful silk clothes, and they were no longer dressed as Daogu.
If this person knew that the person in front of him was a Red Refining Fairy who had killed people without blinking, I don't know if he would dare to be so arrogant.
"I'm sorry two, this brother of mine has always been angry, and the old man can't compensate you here." The white-haired old man among the three hurriedly got up to stop the man, and then turned his head and scolded: "You two rabbit cubs told you not to cause trouble, don't you take my words as a deaf ear!" ”
After the two young men were scolded by the old man, they only promised and did not dare to fight back.
Li Mochou smiled coldly, and wanted to reach out and take out the Ice Spirit Silver Needle from the embroidery, according to the temper of the Red Refining Fairy in the past, no matter whether the other party apologized or not, he had already committed a capital crime.
"The old man is polite, there was something wrong with the insider just now." Zhang Yang smiled slightly and said to the white-haired old man.
At the same time as he spoke, Zhang Yang had already transmitted the message to Li Mochou in front of him, telling her not to kill innocents indiscriminately.
Zhang Yang's method of accepting Li Mochou is really a bit despicable, but in any case, it can be regarded as a blessing for the rivers and lakes, such as the wave of bandits encountered on the road ahead, if it wasn't for Zhang Yang's dissuasion, I'm afraid they all saw the king of Hades, not just cut off a right hand.
When Li Mochou heard the transmission, he didn't dare to be disobedient, so he had to "hum", and after glancing at the two people, he turned his head very unhappily.
The three beggars obviously didn't know what was going on just now, and they didn't know that they had walked around the ghost gate. The two young men, in particular, began to speak loudly after a short time.
"This time, Guo Daxia held a hero conference, gathering the world's heroes to gather in Lujiazhuang, but all the famous people in the rivers and lakes have received invitations, and the invitations received by Elder Lu are written by Guo Daxia himself, this honor is not available to anyone." I only heard the bearded man, and his tone was even more arrogant. He deliberately opened his voice when he said this, as if he was demonstrating to Zhang Yang and others.
"Of course, with Elder Lu's prestige in the beggar gang, even Guo Daxia would not dare to slack off." Another young man chimed in.
"You two be quiet, do you still need to take out this little thing and talk about it? From now on, you must not mention it again, and if it is heard, it will not be good. Now Guo Daxia is warmly invited, it is for the sake of the world's major events, and it is incumbent on the people of my beggar gang to be under the leadership of the Huang gang leader, so why bother thinking about those false names. Although the old man surnamed Lu blamed the two of them, there was inevitably a trace of pride in his expression, and it was indeed an honor to be valued by the famous Guo Jing.
Zhang Yang didn't take those three people in his eyes, let alone think about them, after all, he is a modern person, your wife is looked down upon, it means that your wife is beautiful, this is a glorious thing, you can't fight with others because others see your wife!
But when I heard the three of them talk about the Heroes Conference, and mentioned the word 'Elder Lu', I suddenly remembered an important figure in the Condor.
"Could it be that this person is Lu Youjiao of the beggar gang?" Zhang Yang glanced at the white-haired old man curiously, and counted the pockets behind him, it was indeed nine, it seemed that there should be no doubt that Lu Youjiao should have feet.
Next, the three beggars discussed about the Heroes Conference for a while, mostly talking about which important people participated, and the important surname of the Beggar Gang in this conference.
After Lu Youjiao and the three of them left, Zhang Yang thought thoughtfully, and then bowed his head and said to the little girl in his arms: "Xiaojing, let's also go to the hero conference, okay?" (To be continued.) )
