Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Absurd Lalang Match
Since the competition, Lao Agni's attitude towards Qi Zhiming has changed a lot.
I don't know if it's because of Qi Zhiming's good performance, or because of the sudden awakening of consciousness. In short, Old Agni became kind and approachable.
"Stink... That... That... Zhiming, if there is nothing to do today, if it doesn't hinder you, accompany the old man out and see those toad people. After the old flame finished breakfast, he said slowly to Qi Zhiming.
Everyone looked at Lao Agni for a while, and then looked at Qi Zhiming for a while, and they all felt that Lao Agni's name for Qi Zhiming was some... It's a little weird.
How so? Old Agni used to open his mouth as a "stinky boy" and shut up as a "stinky girl", and he was no exception to his son and granddaughter.
The sudden transformation of the old flame makes people a little confused and at a loss.
Qi Zhiming also forgot to answer for a while, and looked at Lao Agni with questions.
It wasn't until he was kicked by the princess that he woke up like a dream. "Ah······ Ah, good, good. Today, let's go to the island to play, all go, all go, hehe! Qi Zhiming said subconsciously, but instead had a more old fire tone.
Old Agni looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "The old man was as fierce as fire back then, and he was called 'Old Agni', and he was upright. In order to avoid being chased by the imperial court, he fled with his family and fled everywhere and strayed into this place. Lonely all day long, his temperament is inevitably a little eccentric. Now that the family has a home, and you little ones are with you, I am very relieved. ”
glanced at Qi Zhiming again and said, "I competed with Zhiming yesterday, and then I realized that I was really old. Judging from the display of the Nine Star Wheel, there will be a bloody battle in the future. The old man has been practicing for many years, and he also has some experience. Starting tomorrow, I will teach you with all my money, and maybe I can give you some help. ”
You must know that those who study martial arts or cultivators regard their skills as their lives. If you are not a close relative of master and apprentice, you will definitely not teach each other, and everyone will have their own skills. Hearing what Lao Agni said, everyone's faces were solemn, and they bowed down together: "Thank you for the success." ”
Lao Agni waved his hand and said with a smile: "The old man is full of old antiques, so it's good if you don't dislike it." ”
Xi's voice trembled a little under ecstasy: "Thank you, senior!" Before and after the saddle, let it be driven! ”
Ever since he was taught a lesson by the old Agni one after another, Nozomi has revered the old Agni as a celestial. Today, I heard that the old flame was teaching him all his skills, how could he not be excited?
"At the moment of the great enemy, those gadgets of the old man can help you, don't follow the example of worldly children." Old Agni said disapprehantly.
······
Everyone walked together in the mountains and forests, the wind and the sun were beautiful, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, wandering among the mountains and rivers of the island.
Several women laughed incessantly, scattering laughter all the way.
"Old man, there is the toad man's dwelling in front of you. These guys had nothing to do, they accidentally entered the sea that day, and after being caught, they couldn't bear to kill them, and they couldn't be put back, so they had to be imprisoned here. Flying machines are theirs. Qi Zhiming pointed to Sunset Peak and said.
The princess "purred" a few times.
The toad man poked out of the hole, looked at the princess, and appeared in the clearing.
Old Agni glanced at it a few times, but was not interested, turned around and left.
The princess and Hua and Jiang Yu crossed the river and went to the toad man's residence, talking to the toad man, and there was a kind of leader's style.
Qi Zhiming and Xi accompanied the old flame and walked slowly.
"A few days ago, Zhiming said that when the monster attacked, he would lead it into a remote place, set up a large array, and kill it. Have you found a suitable island now? Sooner rather than later, don't be careless. Old Agni had the air of an elder, and reminded the two.
"Old-timers rest assured. The Zhiming brothers and I are familiar with this island. When we return to Mermaid Island, let's just pay more attention. Nozomi said hurriedly.
Old Agni nodded, and moved on.
Three women also caught up.
Everyone has their own magical powers, high or low, galloping, and playing half of the island like a horse.
······
The crowd rested in an open area with beautiful scenery.
Qi Zhiming and Xi hunted some game and barbecued it on the spot. The fragrance overflowed, causing the old flame fingers to move.
Nozomi took the wine out of the storage bag, and everyone sat around and drank it.
Barbecue and drinking in the wild, accompanied by the sea breeze, enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also have a unique charm.
The sun was setting in the west, and everyone was slightly drunk.
simply stopped going back to the cave mansion, and let Lao Agni teach him the cultivation method on the spot.
The old flame has no matter how big or small, and all questions must be answered, and everyone thinks about it with their hearts and cultivates alone.
As the night passed, the morning sun rose, and the group continued to play.
In the afternoon, they all practiced the skills taught by the old flames.
······
Half a month has passed, and everyone has benefited a lot, and there is no information from Mermaid Island.
The princess was concerned about the elder's injuries and wanted to go back to Mermaid Island to have a look.
Old Agni and Qi Zhiming wanted to find a desert island, so the group returned to Mermaid Island.
The elder was just angry and angry, and his internal strength was too exhausted, and his body was fine, and he had recovered now.
It's time to make the appointment, and Gou Hong still hasn't arrived, which is also a big event that everyone is very worried about.
······
"Zhiming, you should think about the rise and fall of the clansmen. The old man is old, and he does some foolish things. Everyone is not an outsider, so let's discuss it together. One person is short in wisdom and two people in wisdom, and there will always be a way. The elder's ravine-lined face was full of haggardness.
"The Nine Star Wheel has shown an omen, and the purchase of the sea area, presumably Gou Hong has already done it. Sister-in-law Hua said that this matter is already halfway through. The only thing that is difficult is that once the clan and the human man love each other, they will be inseparable. Qi Zhiming touched his nose and said.
Xi smiled and said: "There is nothing to be embarrassed about, the two are happy, then bring it over." It's just that if you leave after playing, then you don't have to worry about both. In short, it cannot stay in human society for a long time. There's no need to pay for a small one and then a big one. ”
Hua said to Xi with a smile: "Do you also want to leave after playing?" ”
Nozomi immediately fell silent, just looking at Old Agni.
"Human society has suddenly lost so many men, so isn't it a big deal? Besides, they're tired of being here, what if they want to go home? Looking at the clothes of those kids, I'm afraid that the family is either rich or expensive, most of them are just playing, and they won't remember these big girls in the future. But you big girls are amorous, alas! It's hard to do. Old Agni sighed.
Qi Zhiming was still pondering, and suddenly felt that everyone was silent. When I looked up, I found that I was all looking at myself.
"In human society, there are more men and fewer women, and if you marry a wife, there will be more bride price. If you don't have a house, a car, or money, no matter how good a young man you are, you can't marry a wife. And to buy a house, the house price is very high, and you have to spend all the coffins of your grandparents, grandparents, and parents' pension money. The life savings of the six elderly people can only pay a down payment for the purchase of a house, and they have to deduct the salary of almost one of the young couples from their salary income every month in the future. ”
"It takes twenty or thirty years to pay off the arrears, and I am in debt all day long, and I am miserable. I can't afford to have another child. The old man is in good health, but if he gets sick, he can only wait for death. ”
"The cost of medical care is too high, and there is no money for treatment. Someone once said: 'I have worked hard for most of my life, and I have been sick once and have eaten subsistence allowance. 'Dibao is the minimum subsistence guarantee, as long as people don't starve to death. This is the case in human society, not all, but seven or eight times out of ten. Qi Zhiming said gloomily.
Old Agni couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Grandpa's dynasty at that time, just look at people well, men and women look at each other, and the bride price is just a courtesy." Didn't you say that your society is progressing? Civilized society, science and technology are developed. How did you start buying a wife with money? Do you want to buy by the pound? How much silver buys a pound? Oh, if you're so fat, you're going to have to spend a lot of money? ”
Qi Zhiming was even more ashamed of himself, bowed his head and said nothing.
Xi glanced at the old flame with dissatisfaction, and said proudly: "Human society is very beautiful, and it is bright at night. In such a tall house, every window is bright, like a hornet's nest, densely packed. My brother and sister said that there were several people living in each window, and it was very lively. ”
Qi Zhiming became more and more embarrassed.
Hua said: "Human society is like that! A good young man can't afford to marry a wife, so it's easy to do. In business, men shouldn't be worth much. There are a lot of treasures here, and when Gou Hong comes back, let him pick a good young man and buy more. Two sisters and three sisters, and if they can't, they will have four each. Just buy it, pick a good one, and won't it be all solved? You guys are really brainless! ”
Hua is very strong, but everyone is sweating profusely.
The elder closed his eyes and said nothing.
Qi Zhiming heard that one head and two big, these people were simply here to cause chaos.
"Brother Xi is right! When humans come to this sea, they can basically live forever. I believe that with beautiful women by your side, you will know that there is no hope of returning, and you will be able to give up, and you will be able to slowly accept the status quo. The plan remains the same, the clansmen go and find their love! Only one tsunami will be needed. No one must die, otherwise it will be against heaven. After Qi Zhiming finished speaking, he ignored no one and walked straight out of the cave.
When the princess and Jiang Yu found Qi Zhiming, he was wandering in front of the stone house where he and Gou Hong had lived.
"Brother Ming, I'm embarrassed for you. Everyone is waiting for you, and the elders have agreed to your idea. The princess whispered.
"What can't he say yes? How many families will be plunged into grief by then? And how many people's lives will be affected? Does he know? Forget it, don't talk about it, this is also their covetousness of women, and they are to blame, so no one can blame them. Qi Zhiming said angrily, and immediately calmed down again.
At dinner, the elder was in high spirits and drank a few glasses of wine.
Everyone didn't talk about the rise and fall of the mermaid anymore, tacitly avoiding stimulating Qi Zhiming, just kept eating and drinking.
