Chapter 487: The Missing Fifteen Years (Part I)
Black Cliff Beach.
It was not too far from the place where Tang Ling and Tang Long would fight in the life-and-death ring, but they were separated by a bay, and they could no longer see the ring that day.
But this is a scenic area in the Dark Port, and it is very popular with the people of the Dark Port on weekdays.
Is the view good? Not necessarily. The sandy beach can't compare to the black old Butterfly Wing Island, with thick sand and rocky layers on the seaside.
It's just that in this era, there are dangers everywhere, and ordinary people are so weak that they don't even have the right to see the scenery....
And because of its proximity to the inner fishing grounds, the Black Cliff Beach is relatively safe, so it has become a scenic spot.
At this point, it's nightfall.
The lively Black Cliff Beach during the day has also quieted down, after all, safety is only relative, and no one can guarantee that ordinary people will not encounter danger after dark, even if it is Black Cliff Beach.
However, such a danger can be ignored for Tang Long. He was sitting on a huge rock at this time, looking at the hazy purple moon in the sky, waiting for Tang Ling.
Will Tang Ling come? Tang Long was not sure in his heart.
So if Tang Ling comes, what will he say to him? Tang Long didn't know either.
He only knew that he wanted to see Tang Ling before leaving, so he did so.
In fact, he didn't have to wait too long before Tang Ling appeared, wearing a gray coarse cloth cloak, and walked towards this side with a big grin.
Looking at Tang Ling's figure walking towards him, Tang Long couldn't help but feel a trace of strange feelings in his heart.
Rough, not particular at all, with a big grinning appearance, completely different from himself, such a guy turned out to be his younger brother?
But he's his own brother. In the moonlight, the outline of his face and the outline of his body, Tang Long seemed to see himself.
This was the first time he had looked at Tang Ling so closely, so much so that he was a little distracted.
It was just a short moment of distraction that Tang Ling had already walked in front of Tang Long.
Even though it was already early summer, the night of the Purple Moon Era was still so cold, and the wind at night blew Tang Ling's coarse cloth cloak to hunt, and he looked at Tang Long sitting on the rock with his hands in his pockets.
Tang Long also stood up, looking at Tang Ling from a distance of about three meters.
"Sure enough, I still don't know what to say." Tang Long quietly clenched his fists, although he knew that he was his younger brother for a long time, he had been a stranger for more than ten years, and he had hated him for more than ten years....
"Are you stupid?" Tang Ling suddenly spoke, looked at Tang Long and sighed.
"Huh?" Tang Long was slightly stunned, not understanding what Tang Ling meant by this?
Tang Ling didn't bother to explain to Tang Long, jumped off the rock, searched on the beach, and after a while, he came back with a pile of dry firewood.
Collecting these on the beach is not a difficult task.
After touching his body, Tang Ling found that he didn't bring any tools for lighting, but he did bring a pack of cigarettes.
Complaining, Tang Ling skillfully picked out a piece of dry firewood, took a small stick in his hand, and began to drill wood to make fire.
With his strength and speed, he quickly made Mars, and carefully poured Mars on a ball of dry seagrass, Tang Ling carefully blew two breaths, and the flames burned.
"Not bad." Tang Ling looked satisfied, put the flame into the dry firewood, and the fire was smoothly raised by Tang Ling.
"Sit down." Tang Ling sat down in front of the fire and stretched out his hand to roast the fire.
Even after nearly a year had passed, he was no longer an ordinary teenager, and he was no longer afraid of the cold, at least he didn't feel much of the temperature at night. But at night, there is still a fire, and my heart can feel warm.
Tang Long watched Tang Ling raise a fire in a flowing stream, his eyes showed a hint of interest, and it wasn't until Tang Ling asked him to sit down that he came back to his senses and sat cross-legged on the other side of the fire, opposite Tang Ling.
"You call me stupid because I didn't make a fire?" Tang Long is very smart, and when he talks to Tang Ling, there is always a tacit understanding.
This tacit understanding is actually not unfamiliar, and there was already one when the two jointly announced the rules of life and death.
Perhaps, this is not called tacit understanding, it is another thing called bloodline?
"Nonsense, who wants to be cold at night?" Tang Ling fiddled with the fire, took out two bottles of wine from his arms and put them on the ground, and took out a pack of cigarettes.
"But I'm not cold." Tang Long raised his eyebrows: "And if I remember correctly, you can start a fire out of thin air, why bother?" ”
"Huh?" Tang Ling grabbed his hair, yes, he learned that set of mysterious tricks, it is still simple to make a fire, why bother.
Tang Long, this guy is really annoying, this kind of thing doesn't need to be deliberately reminded, right?
However, who is Tang Ling? In the past six months, he has been practicing cheaply with Boss Huang at any time, how can he let Tang Long block a word?
Skillfully opening the cigarette case, Tang Ling took a cigarette to his mouth, lit the cigarette through the fire, took a deep breath, and then pointed at Tang Long and said, "You, don't you know what life is?" ”
"What do you mean?" Tang Long frowned slightly, looking at Tang Ling's cigarettes and wine on the ground... Isn't this stinky boy having a hard time? How did you learn a full set of such extravagant bad problems? And then that's what he calls life?
"I lived in a ghetto when I was a kid," he says. Tang Ling took a puff of cigarette and looked at the distant night sky.
"Do you know what a ghetto is?" Tang Ling turned his head to look at Tang Long, and handed the cigarette he had taken a puff to Tang Long.
Tang Long subconsciously took it, and Tang Ling ordered one again: "You smoke." ”
"Oh." Tang Long subconsciously took another sip, feeling inexplicably that something was wrong in his heart, but he relaxed inexplicably.
"Well, the colony is a rat's nest." A smile of remembrance appeared on Tang Ling's face, he originally just wanted to save face, he wanted to tell Tang Long how important a fire was, but he didn't know why he really missed the settlement as he spoke.
Yes, the revenge has been avenged, and there is an inexplicable hole left in his heart, the hollow is full of memories, Tang Ling wants to tell....
"Rat's nest?" Tang Long frowned, he couldn't imagine why he used a rat's nest to describe a place where humans lived?
"Isn't there a settlement around where you grew up?" This time, it was Tang Ling who was curious.
"No, there are many large safe villages around, and by the time I was thirteen, the two largest had become safe zones." Tang Long thought about it carefully and replied to Tang Ling.
He didn't pay much attention to these things, and since he was a child, all he had lived was cultivation and hatred.
Thinking about it now, Tang Long felt that his heart was also empty, but what was the center of the hollow? Tang Long didn't have an answer.
"Oh, I forgot. You're a dragon shao, how could you know about such a settlement? Tang Ling took a cigarette in his mouth and touched the wine placed next to the fire, but in a few minutes, it was already a little warm.
He picked up a pot, bit the lid and handed it to Tang Long, then picked up another bottle himself, and took a sip: "The settlement is underground, you know that a group of ordinary people have no way to live on the ground without walls. ”
"There are no Purple Moon Warriors in your group? Underground, burrowing? Tang Long also took a sip of wine, his mouth was faintly warm, and after entering his throat and falling into his stomach, he exploded with a wave of heat.
The fire burned hot, the heat of the wine rippling in the belly, the purple moon, the starry sky, the sea at night, the sound of talking in Tang Ling's ears.... Tang Long suddenly felt a little warm feeling in his heart.
"Are you stupid? Dig? What do you do if you dig up a snake? Tang Ling glanced at Tang Long with disdain.
"We live in sewers, sewers left over from previous civilizations. In pre-civilizations, weren't rats living in sewers? As Tang Ling spoke, he touched it in his arms, but he didn't find anything, he looked at Tang Long: "Hey, do you have anything to eat?" ”
"Nope. I just brought wine. Tang Long took out two bottles of wine from his arms.
"Why did you call me out without food?! I didn't eat dinner, you know? Tang Ling stood up all of a sudden, looking at Tang Long with a fiery look.
Tang Long was a little stunned, he found that Tang Ling was really hot! Got angry because you didn't eat?!
"Damn, don't sit here anymore, go get food!" Tang Ling was so annoyed that he picked up a dry firewood that was still burning and began to look around.
Tang Long felt a little in a trance, engaged in food? Over here? Are there any restaurants or anything like that?
As soon as Tang Ling turned his head, he understood what Tang Long was thinking, he pointed at Tang Long's nose and shouted, "Tang Long, are you stupid?" Leaning against the sea, and having the instinct of precision, touching fish and catching shrimp, will you pry two shells? ”
"How did you survive? Do you feel like you're a pure fool? ”
Tang Long's muscles jumped, and he just said a few words? I was told stupid by Tang Ling three times? Sure enough, I can't talk to this stinky boy.
"Tang Ling, you say I'm stupid again, believe it or not, I'll beat you?" Tang Long stood up and pulled down his hood, the wind lifted his long hair, and in the moonlight, a handsome face.
Tang Ling is so angry, why do you always pretend to be very beautiful when you are born to a father?
"Beat me? I'm still afraid of fighting you? The battle of life and death was fought in the first two days, come and come, who is afraid of whom? Tang Ling held the torch and ripped off the hood of the coarse cloth cloak, and under the fluttering black hair, his delicate face was young and flying.
A battle to the death? The anger in Tang Long's heart was suddenly extinguished.
"No... Want. He remembered what Tang Ling had said when he turned his head and said to the other side.
"This ring belongs to Tang Ling." He remembered the ring of Tang Ling in Zhang Tian's hand.
"Forget it." Tang Long took off the white cloak on his body, and he was still dressed in white, he loved white so much.
"Why are you scared?" Tang Ling tilted his head.
"Let's find something to eat. I'm hungry too. Tang Long was too lazy to argue with Tang Ling, he found that this kid had a kind of ability, that is, he couldn't say two words that made people want to beat.
"You know each other." Tang Ling rubbed his nose.
"Do you want to fight?" Tang Long raised his eyebrows.
"Find something to eat first, and then talk about it when you're full." Tang Ling jumped off the rock.
