Chapter 231: Ling and Dragon, Staggered (II)
"Brother, look, look..."Shanshan held up the three-color Rongying in her hand, shaking excitedly in front of Tang Ling.
In the early autumn day, the wind in the early morning has some coolness and strength, and such a shaking makes the three-color velvet Ying immediately turn into clusters of colorful small umbrellas, and then float away.
"Haha." Tang Ling smiled.
And Shanshan puffed out her cheeks, and her big eyes were suddenly full of tears, why did she finally find the good-looking little furball balls, all of them scattered and ran away?
"Bad brother." Shanshan stomped her feet, seeing that tears were about to flow out.
Tang Ling gently picked her up and put her on his shoulder.
"Let's go, my brother will take you to find it again." In fact, coaxing her is not too difficult to do, she will always forget the sadness of the previous moment because of a little other happy thing.
"Really? Are you sure? Shanshan happily ruffled Tang Ling's hair.
"Of course it's true. In fact, this kind of furball ball, three colors will often be found, but four colors are difficult to find. Tang Ling casually talked nonsense, in fact, he had never seen the four-colored Rongying.
The real velvet is only available in three colors: white, purple, and green.
"Huh? What happens if you find the four colors? Shanshan hugged Tang Ling's head.
"Well, I've heard that the little one who finds it will be happy for a week." Tang Ling still said nonsense, he just wanted to accompany Shanshan to do something interesting.
After breakfast, he will go to the forest, perhaps for several days, for the hunters of the settlement have heard that a herd of Kehua white-tailed short-legged sheep has appeared in the forest, and it is good prey.
"A week of happiness? Is it possible to eat meat every Sunday? β
"Well, that's right."
"Then brother, take me to find it."
"Okay, but you have to promise my brother that they will become small umbrellas and fly, and you must not be sad."
"Why?"
"Because every little umbrella is a little child, and they need the help of the wind to find their home. When they are found, they will take root and become new little furballs, which is the meaning of their survival. β
Shanshan tilted her head, she didn't understand, but when she heard that they were looking for their own home, she should help them.
"yes, I see. If there is no wind, I blow hard, whew, whew..."
"Haha." Tang Ling smiled again, what else, anything else, whether it was a person or a thing, was it cuter than his sister? No!
For twenty minutes, only three tricolor trees were found, but there were no four colors.
Shanshan worked hard to blow away the third three-color velvet tree, and looked at Tang Ling expectantly: "Brother, can we find the four-color one today?" β
Speaking of this, she pretended to be mature and sensible, but she couldn't hide her loss and said: "If you can't find it, it doesn't matter." It's probably hiding and wants me to find it next time. β
Tang Ling rubbed Shanshan's hair, but quietly pinched a few red-leaved sage grass seeds in his hands, and said seriously: "I can definitely find it, I can find it today." It's just that it's very shy, and it wants us to close our eyes, so it will quietly appear. β
"Why don't we give it a try?"
"Huh?" Shanshan quickly closed her eyes.
Tang Ling, on the other hand, took two quick steps, crushed the grass seeds in his hand, and dripped them on the three-color velvet that he had found early in the morning.
Tang Ling was very careful in this process, and only dared to make a little bit of juice, for fear that the weight of the water droplets would make the three-color velvet tree in front of him scatter.
Fortunately, no, on the contrary, the strong dyeing ability of rat seeds successfully made a little more red traces on the hairballs of the three-color velvet.
"Wow, Shanshan, come and see. Four-color velvet! Tang Ling deliberately shouted excitedly.
And Shanshan smiled happily all the way and ran to Tang Ling's side.
"Come, let's count together, there are several colors."
"One"
"Two"
"Three"
"Four"
"Ahh Brother, I'm going to help it find a home. β
Whirring, Shanshan blew the four-color velvet concocted by Tang Ling vigorously, and her eyes were full of happiness.
When this velvet flower slowly floated into the sky, Shanshan leaned on Tang Ling's arm.
"Brother, how far do you think they can fly?"
"Well, it's far away. After all, they travel with the wind. β
"No, brother, you lied to me." Shanshan suddenly turned her head, her little face turned pale and sad, she stood up, and stepped back step by step.
At this time, Tang Ling's heart suddenly swelled with great unease, he wanted to hold Shanshan, but found that he couldn't move.
"They, they can't fly far, they're too weak. Just like me, I can't get out of here for the rest of my life, I can only stay in the settlement forever, right? Shanshan suddenly smiled, and that bleak smile made Tang Ling's heart twist.
He wanted to say something, but saw Shanshan float up like a small umbrella of three-color velvet, flying higher and higher, flying farther and farther.
It's a pity that at this time, the wind stopped suddenly, Shanshan looked at Tang Ling, and fell heavily to the ground.
"Brother. Brotherβ" she finally shouted, and her eyes were like the night when she shouted these two words surrounded by corpses.
There is infinite nostalgia for oneself, and there is a large empty numbness...
"No!" Tang Ling's heart was about to explode, and at this time, he finally shouted.
"No, don't." Turning over, Tang Ling sat up, almost approaching the dawn of the night sky, the wind was still so gentle, but the galaxy was no longer so bright.
The heart is like a knife, and that painful feeling cannot be forgotten even after a hundred years or a thousand years.
Tang Ling covered his chest, a large amount of cold sweat, and his breath was undecided.
The sound of horses' hooves came from afar, and even though the fire had been extinguished, through the hazy purple light, Tang Ling could vaguely see a wide carriage moving quickly towards the north.
Wiping away the cold sweat, Tang Ling quickly calmed himself down.
It was just this moment of effort, and the carriage pulled by eight red-maned iron scales came closer.
The faint sense of crisis in Tang Ling's heart had exploded at this time.
But he didn't do anything, he just lay down and fell asleep the next moment, and soon fell into a state of deep sleep, even the breathing that slowed down during sleep, and the body temperature that would become slightly cooler was so realistic.
There is no way to act this kind of thing, and the only way is to empty yourself and really fall asleep.
In a strong sense of crisis, to do this, it takes a strong heart, and Tang Ling's heart has always been strong after going through so much.
Tang Long sat in the carriage, frowning, there was no way to even enter the cultivation, his heart was just churning strangely.
What is this anomaly? There are almost no things that can affect Tang Long's cultivation, maybe only the other side has this ability a little.
But at this time, the ridiculous thing is that Tang Long doesn't even know what this strange thing is?
Could it be that he is really connected to the boat-seeking project? The secrets hidden in this grassland will eventually need to be solved by yourself?
As soon as this idea popped up, Tang Long was a little more relieved, and he believed that maybe this feeling was right.
Since you have no intention of cultivating, let's take a look at this backward grassland, right? After all, life always needs to experience a lot of differences in order to create a strong person's indifferent state of mind.
Tang Long stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain of the carriage, and then, with his excellent eyesight, he saw a pile of burnt bonfires, slowly emitting green smoke under the starry sky, and there seemed to be a sleeping person next to the bonfire.
Tang Long rolled his eyes indifferently, he didn't care about such a thing.
However, at this time, the carriage stopped, and Li Wu walked to the door of the carriage and said in a low voice: "Long Shao, it seems that a wanderer has been found in front, do you want to ask?" β
Actually, Li Wu didn't care much about the wanderers, he just wanted to bring Tang Long to the base faster.
With such an extremely genius, but he can't guess what he thinks at all, and there are some high-ranking young powerhouses, you will inexplicably feel huge pressure.
Li Wu didn't dare to miss any details, but he was afraid that reporting any details would cause Tang Long's disgust.
He stood in front of the car door nervously, and had already thought of a reason, if Long Shao showed a little impatience, he said that the person who could sleep in the wild on the night of the wolf plague must be worth investigating.
Surprisingly, Long Shao didn't express any objection, just a faint 'um'.
Li Wu gave the order, and walked towards the fire with two people.
In fact, Tang Long still didn't care about any wanderers in the wild, he just needed something else to calm down his mood faster.
Even if he figured out the source of the strange mood, Tang Long didn't want this mood to affect him, and at this time, he could divert his attention from something else.
I have to say that this is the same way that Tang Ling interrupted a certain mood to continue.
**
Li Wu gradually approached the fire.
And the wanderer sleeping next to the fire didn't seem to be aware of it.
He slept soundly, perhaps because he was too tired, but he was not completely unresponsive, and he turned over uneasily at the approaching footsteps, but he was too sleepy to open his eyes.
"Get up." At Li Wu's suggestion, a third-level Bronze Star warrior of the Star Council strode over, and kicked Tang Ling with his leather boots.
Anyone who was disturbed so rudely in their sleep would be angry, and Tang Ling was not surprised, he sat up all of a sudden, frowned, and yelled: "Who the hell is it?" β
He speaks Xili, the lingua franca of a safe zone on the western side of the steppe, and the lingua franca of Safe Zone 17, although different, is roughly the product of a linguistic culture.
It's just a unique accent and the occasional tongue flick.
I have to say that Tang Ling said it very standardly, this kind of language ability that suddenly emerged after being 'enlightened' by Kun is as natural as eating.
"Ahem." Li Wu coughed, and the Bronze Star warrior kicked Tang Ling again, shouting, "Come with us." β
Tang Ling's face instinctively showed resistance, but the next second he seemed to be a little more sober, he saw the people who came clearly, saw the uniforms they were wearing, and suddenly became frightened.
He opened his mouth to say something? However, after a few strange sounds in his throat, he stood up silently.
He bowed his head, cringed a little, and wordlessly followed the soldier's footsteps, not even having time to take the coat and luggage that had been placed aside.
Of course, Li Wu didn't care about any of this.
Then, Tang Ling was brought to the carriage.
Despite the hard work, Tang Ling's sense of crisis exploded completely at this moment, accompanied by an indescribable strange emotion, constantly stirring his heart.
This complex emotion made Tang Ling feel an impulse, wanting to impulsively open the car door and see who was inside the carriage? Why did it make him feel like this?
"Tell me, why are you here?" Since Tang Long didn't react at all, Li Wu should naturally be responsible for the interrogation.
But in fact, even if such a wanderer has his own little secrets, what is it? They came here to prepare a big plan, and this kind of interrogation is indeed somewhat inexplicable.
In the face of Li Wu's inquiry, Tang Ling was very nervous, he stammered a little, and his tone was even more messy: "I'll come, come and get salt and iron, and exchange for some, some ore and meat." I don't have much ability, it's safe here. β
Indeed, there is no great danger in this grassland except for the grassland greedy wolf, as long as it does not touch the taboo, but what taboo can such a wanderer touch?
"First time?" Li Wu asked very casually, as an officer of the intelligence department of the Star Council, he knew what was the key to the problem, when it should be appropriate, and what tone to use.
Although he is not interested, his responsibility and ability as an intelligence officer must be shown in front of Long Shao.
"The first time, no, no, no, it was a time and a half, the last time I went to the giant village of Gigihar with Cousin Leo. It's not far from here, my cousin is doing business over there, but I don't think I can take advantage of anything, I'll just..." Tang Ling was a little gusshky, but his voice became quieter and quieter, because he saw the impatient expression on Li Wu's face.
"Why are you here?" Li Wu really interrupted Tang Ling.
"Wolf howl, my ears are good, I hear the wolf howl in the distance, I judge it is a pack of wolves. At night, I didn't dare to leave. Tang Ling shrank his neck, showing appropriate fear.
Li Wu stopped talking, but took a cigarette and lit it, all the words were very reasonable, without the slightest flaw.
And the direction in which he slept happened to be the direction that he had to pass to come from the giant village of Jijihar.
The lucky guy, when he heard the wolf howl, decided not to move forward, and went to take refuge in the village or something, after all, this is the only safe place in the Lazier grassland that will not be affected by the wolf plague.
On the night of the wolf plague, the wolves will attack the village frantically, and will not come out to hunt on a large scale.
It would be strange if someone who could run a business in the wild really didn't have the slightest survival skills.
"Let's go." After taking a few puffs of cigarette, Li Wu paid close attention to Tang Ling's micro-expression for a while, and then decided to let Tang Ling go.
Interrogating a poor wanderer is really not a fun thing to do.
Tang Ling showed a surprised expression, and then asked, "Just, just leave?" β
"Or else?" Li Wu glanced at Tang Ling.
Tang Ling hurriedly took a few steps back, then turned around, looking a little embarrassed and eagerly walked forward, and even fell a little.
But at this time, the carriage door opened, Tang Long walked out of the car, looked at Tang Ling's back, and shouted: "Stop." β
The sound was not loud, but there was a natural majesty and a great pressure.
The emotions in Tang Ling's heart completely dispersed at this moment, spreading lightly to the limbs and bones of the whole body, and then scattered lightly in the night breeze, and then exchanged for a trace of numb sadness.
He resisted the voice, but slowly turned back.
