Chapter 32: Cousin Wastewood

Tian Dabang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard that Xu Yongzhi was going to use the dragon as an engine to propel the big ship.

"Is that dragon a fire dragon or a water dragon?" Xu Yongzhi has already begun to study the details.

"Fire Dragon." Tian Dabang said.

"The fire dragon is the best, and the water dragon is in trouble." Xu Yongzhi said.

"The water dragon can be pushed under the ship, how can the fire dragon make the ship move forward?"

"The dragon uses biological power to push the ship, and biological power has to consider one thing, and that is that the creature may be harmed."

"Makes sense."

"Boil the dragon's flame in boiling water, introduce water vapor into the steel pipes, and push the blades and shafts of the steel, and the big ship can be broken by the wind without sails."

"Great! OMG! Tian Dabang grabbed his nephew's arms.

"Kid, you created a train of thought! You're such a genius! Worthy of my sister's son! Tian Dabang is full of tears.

"It's a pity for your mother...... Hey......"

Xu Yongzhi saw that his uncle was touched, and hurriedly comforted: "Uncle doesn't need to be sad, we have a dragon boat, and it is not difficult to take revenge from this upstream down the river." ”

"Do you have a plan for revenge?"

"Yes," Xu Yongzhi said, "I want to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, this country, all enemies who killed my parents." ”

Tian Dabang was about to praise, when he suddenly heard Kou Ko slam the door and entered the house angrily.

Xu Yongyi's face was surprised.

Kou Ko probed out again: "I brought back the baby dragon, I raised it, I will never allow you to use it to fight!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and after a while, Ah Crisp raised his hand.

Xu Yongzhi said: "Say." ”

Ah Crisp said, "I can understand Sister Coco. ”

Duan Zishou said: "I can't, but I support Ah Crisp." ”

"It's inhumane to send such a small baby dragon into battle," said Aku, "and the dragon probably won't talk like I do, it can't speak its own opinion, and it's a bit inhumane from an animal welfare point of view." ”

Tian Dabang looked surprised: "You mean that Yilong may be a pacifist?" ”

"It's entirely possible," said Acrisp, "that you humans have a lot of stereotypes, such as tigers are born beasts, foxes are cunning, bears are violent, raccoons steal, but the difference in personality between animals is far greater than the difference between their species." ”

"But we look at all foxes the same."

"Because you don't understand the logic of their actions, I used to think that all bears were bullying people, and my mother also told me so, but then I started to cultivate, saw more bears, understood the logic of their actions, and realized that they also have mothers and children, and there are also violent and cowardly." Crisp said.

"So what should we do?" Tian Dabang asked.

"I thought, maybe we should ask the dragon if he is willing to help the eldest brother-in-law avenge it." Crisp said.

"Wait a minute, nephew, what do you relatives think? Are you her brother-in-law? Are you going to marry a panda as a daughter-in-law? As your last parent, I have to persuade you. Tian Dabang hurriedly stopped.

"Uncle, you think too much, it's a nickname......" Xu Yongzhi said with a wry smile.

"Yes, he's actually my brother-in-law." Duan Zishou said.

"It's even more messy, who is your sister......" Tian Dabang said.

"He's my sister's leader......," Mr. Duan said.

"Don't talk nonsense! Listen to Ah Crisp. Xu Yongzhi hurriedly pulled back to the topic.

"If I'm not mistaken, Sister Coco should be a witch who can communicate with all beasts." A crisp asked Tian Dabang.

"I really don't know about this......" Tian Dabang scratched his head.

"As a father, how can you not know your daughter's specialty? You don't care about your daughter too much, do you? "Ah, crisply, unceremoniously.

"Her education in witchcraft was taught by her mother...... And I think she hid a lot of skills that I didn't know and didn't tell me......" Tian Dabang was a little embarrassed.

"Sister Coco is such a wonderful girl." Xu Yongzhi said.

Tian Dabang said happily: "I also think so, she is really a strange girl." ”

"I'm talking about wonderful, and I think she's funny and cool." Xu Yongzhi said.

"I think so." Crisp said.

"Pets, don't interject!" Tian Dabang said angrily.

"Uncle, don't treat Ah Crisp as a pet, she is Huo Yizun's adopted daughter of Uncle Huo."

"So it's still our family."

A huge shadow was cast onto the ground of the courtyard.

When Xu Yongzhi looked up, he found that a large man had quietly walked up to them.

A blue-black dragon, stretching its neck, curiously sniffed the model of the engine, about the size of a baby elephant, about 1,500 pounds, and a middle-aged woman sat on the dragon's back, with a kind face.

"Yongzhi, this is your aunt." Tian Dabang said.

"My aunt is above, and my nephew is polite. These are my two friends, Duan Zishou and Huo Abri. ”

The aunt jumped off the dragon's back and helped Yongzhi up, but she went to ask Ah Crisp first.

"Ah, you are the daughter of an elder brother."

"My aunt is on top, and I will be worshiped by Ah Crisp."

"What about this relative?" Xu Yongzhi looked at Tian Dabang with a puzzled expression.

"Your aunt is the daughter of the Huo family, and her single name is a Hunan character, which is the Xiang of Xiangshui; One is her cousin, the four major families intermarry with each other, and they don't meet their in-laws when they go out to the market. Tian Dabang said in a low voice.

"Is my brother well?" Huo Xiang asked Ah Crisp.

"My dad is very good, very strong, and he fought off the necromancer and Li Forsythia with us a few days ago."

"That's really amazing," Huo Xiang was full of interest, "He dealt with a few necromancers by himself?" ”

"He and Brother Xu dealt with four necromancers together, and in the end, Brother Xu eliminated one." Ah Crispy was quick to talk about the battle that day.

"Good boy," Huo Xiang looked at Xu Yongzhi, "Your eyes are full of doubts, I estimate that you will have a lot of questions." ”

"Uncle, this dragon ......"

"Is this the first time you've seen a dragon?"

"Yes, it's different from the one painted on the emperor's clothes, and there are two wings." Xu Yongzhi said.

"In the past, it used to be a very common ancient creature, but over the years, there have been fewer and fewer dragons, and when the emperor and Chiyou fought fiercely, the mountain ghost Niangniang still had an army of three hundred dragons."

"Three hundred!"

"It's rare now, this one is occasionally found in the mountains, Xiaolong's father died from the hunting of the Yu family, and the disciples of their family all hope to get dragon scales and dragon teeth to prove their courage, but in my opinion, it's just stupidity. When Coco found it, it had just come out of its shell, and its mother had no mate to take care of it, so she ran out of strength and died just before the egg broke. It was orphaned, and it turned three years old this year. ”

Xiaolong had a curious face and leaned over to sniff Ah Crispy.

"Ahh Huo Xiang said.

"Is it possible that she thinks she's fluffy and looks delicious?" Tian Dabang asked.

"Boss, you're a little serious, okay?" Huo Xiang looked disgusted.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Tian Dabang quickly admitted his mistake.

"Does he have a name?" Ah Crisp looked at Xiaolong's body, "Ah, it's a girl?" ”

"It's a girl," Huo Xiang nodded, "Kou Ko said, since she is a fire dragon and a girl, she should be called Huo Petal, the petal of the petal, Koko has no brothers and sisters, she has always been lonely, and she hopes to have a partner." ”

"It's a very nice name." Xu Yongzhi couldn't help but admire.

"You actually named a dragon!" Tian Dabang interjected: "This kid is getting more and more strange!" ”

"Brother-in-law, as a wizard, you should not be surprised." Crispy grumbled.

"Our Tian family is a wizard who talks about science, and we don't see any strange forces in our eyes, so we believe in the laws of nature, to be honest, I just saw a talking panda for the first time today!" Tian Dabang said.

"What does she eat?" Duan Zishou reached out and touched the fire petal.

"Meat, you have to eat meat. We had to buy cattle and sheep for her, and when her wings became stiffer, we could fly and hunt by ourselves, and we could not feed her live animals now, otherwise we would eat the cattle of the common people in the future. Huo Xiang said.

"When you're older, are you willing to go with us to beat bad women?" Duan Zishou asked.

"You can't ask that." Crisp said.

"It is true that dragons can be trained to fight, and dragons in history have always been helping righteous humans fight." Huo Xiang said.

"Aren't bad guys?" Duan Zishou asked.

"The bad guys haven't mastered the way to raise dragons, and it takes a lot of gentleness, a lot of patience, and it takes decades, and most dictators don't have that patience. After fifty years, the dragon can fly into the sky to fight, which emperor is willing to wait fifty years to unify the world. ”

"Yongzhi's idea is good, let the dragon act as a power in the engine, it doesn't need her to grow too big...... Tian Dabang said.

"That's a good idea." Huo Xiang looked at Xu Yongzhi.

"Yongzhi, dragons can't speak, so I think you have to convince Koukou, she agreed, to have this possibility, besides, if this dragon can push the battleship, it will be ten years later, are you willing to wait?" Huo Xiang asked Xu Yongzhi.

"My revenge was originally a big plan, Li Lianqiao killed my parents and thousands of innocent people in Linquan Town, it was too cheap to kill her, I want to take revenge on the Southern Tang, the Southern Tang court plundered my mother before, and later killed my mother and my father, I must destroy the Southern Tang, so don't say ten years, I have planned a plan for twenty years!"

"Okay, then there is an urgent task now, you go and call Kou Ko to dinner, she doesn't eat when she is angry, you are a guest and a brother, I think you may persuade her." Huo Xiang said.

"Okay, I'll go."

This is the first time Xu Yongzhi has entered the young girl's boudoir for the first time, and there is a huge portrait of an old man on the wall, thin and full of fairy spirit, and he looked at the poem written next to him, it should be Du Fu.

There are many teenage children who are fans of Li Bai, and there are many young ladies who are fans of Wang Wei, sticking to Du Fu, this child is really rock and roll.

"What are you doing here?" Coco turned her back to Xu Yongzhi.

"It's me, not my uncle." Xu Yongzhi said.

"I can see it." Coco holds a small mirror in her hand.

"Your mirror is so powerful, it is so much clearer than ordinary bronze mirrors!" Xu Yongzhi couldn't help but admire.

"Thin it with crystal, and paint it with silver on the back." Kou explained to stay away, still too lazy to pay attention to him.

"Aunt said, let me call you to dinner."

"I thought you were a good person at first, but when you first came to my house, you were going to start a war, and you had to use my dragon to fight." Coco said angrily.

"It's just an idea, and besides, dragons won't be allowed to fight, ships have many uses, and fighting crime is just one of them." Xu Yongzhi said.

"What else can you do?"

"Transporting medicinal herbs, goods, and local products."

"I don't mean to ridicule you, but the revolutionaries in the world are all like this, saying what is the fight against the tyrant, and finally they climb to the throne. said that it was for civilian use, a scientific research project, and finally developed a terrible weapon, saying that it was to let the dragon drive the ship, and finally rode the dragon to burn the city. I read, and I know your men's minds. Coco said.

"Maybe this man just wants revenge......," Xu Yongzhi said.

"Cousin, your mother is also my aunt, although our two families have little contact, but my mother said that she is a good person and a beauty, it must be amazing, I am very sad to hear about her death, but if you want me to accept your slaughter of a country to take revenge, then what is the difference between you and the angry Wu Zixu?" Coco said.

"So you're trying to persuade me to leave it at that?"

"Of course we can't just forget it, let's knock on the door to find that evil woman and his accomplices, you make a list, we will take revenge one by one, the people on the list will die, we will return to Yuzhou, and never cause trouble outside, isn't it?" Coco said.

"You little girl has a really big mouth."

"It's not that you're angry, you always think about revenge so hard, ah, you have to have a big plan. In fact, revenge is similar to writing a novel, the key is to start, you write the first chapter, someone reads it, someone reads it; It's the same with revenge, when you start killing the first enemy, the enemy begins to be afraid, begins to panic, and your revenge has an effect, and the most tormenting thing about the enemy is not his death, but the terrifying process when he waits for death to come. Coco said.

"You have a point."

"So you can say generously, cousin, I want to use your dragon to seize the world and be the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, I weigh the pros and cons, and I may agree."

"I don't have that in mind!" Xu Yongzhi waved his hand again and again, "I can't be a good emperor, I can't even think about it." ”

But at the same time, a thought popped up in Xu Yongzhi's mind: "If I become the emperor, won't I become the eldest princess......"

"I can see this," said Coco, "cousin, there are two kinds of men, one is the big man, and the other is the little man, and the big man wants to annex the world, devour the famine, and hold everything in his own hands; The little man will be thoughtful, and try his best to make his life worthy of the rules that bind him when he dies, you are a little man, not a big husband. ”

"How hurtful that is." Xu Yongzhi was not very comfortable.

"Little men are not bad people, and being little men is not a bad thing." Coco said.

"What do you mean by that?"

"You are a little man, if you have to play a big husband, you will be miserable, and similarly, if a big husband is bound to the situation of a little man, he can't die." Coco said.

"That's right," Xu Yongzhi sighed, for the past few years, he had always played the role of a big husband with his father as an example, and this was the source of his depression and pain.

"You're still a teenager, cousin," said Coco, "if you're a ruthless husband, you'll find a way to make a deal with me, like take over the world and make me queen, or whatever." But you don't.,You just want to make your meaning clear.,And you're talking to me about right and wrong.,Grievances.,I don't know if you're still a teenager like this in ten years.,If you're still.,I'll lend you the fire petal.,I'll only work with people who keep their original intentions.。。 ”

"Can you see the future?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"Innate," said Coco, "my dad doesn't know, but I still see vaguely, for example I can see you and a warship heading east, but I don't know what that means, whether it's a blessing or a curse for many people." ”

"Can you see the talent for witchcraft? Uncle Yi said that I had no talent at all. Xu Yongzhi asked again.

Kou Kokou gently placed her hand on Xu Yongzhi's heart, slightly pushing a little mana into his heart.

That little bit of mana swirled like a glass bead in a porcelain bowl, wandering in Xu Yongzhi's heart, if it was a person with a talent for magic, the mana or potential in his body might be activated, so that the person who tested him could feel the existence.

Tian Dabang pushed the door in at this time: "Why is it so long!" Your mom said you'd go eat......"

He saw Xu Yongzhi bowing his head with his chest bowed, Kokou staring at his chest, and putting his hand on his chest.

"Oooh! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Tian Dabang escaped and closed the door, muttering to himself:

"My daughter has grown up."

"Congratulations."

"She's finally done something not weird."

"Great, she likes humans."

"But that's not right, I've mentioned the family to the Chen family......"

Coco withdrew her hand.

"Cousin, you really don't have any talent for witchcraft, just like a waste wood, even if you barely learn spells, you may only be able to summon kitchen knives, pedicure knives, pencil sharpener level weapons, it's better to find a good blacksmith."

"Okay."

"But I think your ability to understand people's hearts and feel other people's emotions is very strong. Some people can provoke others to do bad things, but I think you can convince others to do good things. Actually, although my dad jokes all day long, one thing is particularly right, a good human world may not need witchcraft at all, and there is no need for wizards, and those machines may be more important than these things. ”

"Thank you cousin for your comfort."

"I'm serious, your talent may really be in the human heart. It's actually better that way, and now I'm going to ask you something. ”

"Just say it."

"My dad is a forced marriage maniac, he insists that if he doesn't get engaged at the age of seventeen and doesn't get married at the age of eighteen, he is irresponsible to the wizarding world, but I don't want to marry Chen Fan, you have to help me convince him."

"I still want to ask, how is this model Chen. What if it was good? ”

"First of all, he is the son of the Chen family, what is the level of the men of the Chen family, you have probably heard of it."

"Oh oh, it's that men are weak chickens, but the one who gave birth to daughters who are all magic madmen." Xu Yongzhi thought of the changeable Chen Xiaofan, and shuddered.

"Chen Kaimo is the elder brother of Chen Xiaohuan, the leader of the sister group, this eldest brother is a witchcraft weak chicken, he went to Chengdu to eat, drink and have fun at a young age, and played horse tags and drank tea every day to set up a dragon gate array, I think it is unreliable."

"But my father thinks that if I marry and give birth to a strong daughter, it is also a good choice, after all, my family name is Tian, and I can't marry the Tian family; The Yu family is now a bunch of bad guys, and the Huo family is down again, so after thinking about it, they can only marry the son of the Chen family. ”

"I can leave it to you to choose......"

"Yes, but he's been studying wizard demography in addition to mechanics, and insists that in order to avoid wizards' demise, every wizard should have two children before the age of 25 and four by the age of 40."

"But feelings can't be forced......"

"That's right, my dad thought about it, and he was stunned, and he was chanting the scriptures every day, saying how good Chengdu is, how handsome Chen Gongzi is, if I don't marry, how faceless he will be, how sincere others are to our family, and people are tired of listening to it. I want to live that life more comfortably. ”

"Okay, I'll figure it out, can I go to dinner now? They must have been in a hurry. ”

"Let's go!"

Xu Yongzhi followed Kou Ko to the front, and at this moment he became more and more preoccupied.
