Part.11

(This chapter is sub-paragraphed for plot purposes)

"Woohoo!" Just as Hordeon was still running forward, he didn't want a navy blue spear to suddenly fly sideways in front of it. The spear was pierced through the chest with a blow and slammed into the trunk of a large tree in its back.

Bang!

"Ah...... Ah ...... "It was extremely unwilling, and raised its weakened right palm heavily, but the dagger in its hand suddenly fell on Lin. Immediately afterward, the palms and head swooped down at the same time, announcing death.

Boom - boom.

The seafin warrior leapt from mid-air and stood in front of Kholedeon's body pinned to the trunk of a tree. He turned back, glanced at the Avenger of the Deep Sea, and then pulled his Poseidon spear out.

噌 - 噌 - 噌 - 噌 -

"Seafin Warframe. Transmogrification Lifted'

"Whew." Xie Shenghai looked at the Avenger of the Deep Sea who had died on the ground. Horedion, after a moment's pause in place, hesitated to run to the place where the incident occurred.

The truck lay in the middle of the road, and the entire ground was watery.

Half of the carriage deflated inward, and several white plastic boxes fell outside. Look closely, more than a dozen brightly colored marine fish are still dying and throbbing, but most of them are already lying quietly on the lin, weakly grunting their gills.

"Tide, tide!" Xie Shenghai came all the way, tired and out of breath, holding his knees and panting. After realizing that he had screamed twice without any response, he opened his blazing gaze forward.

Yanxi's back looked lonely, as if something big had happened.

"Huh, Xi?"

"The driver is fine." When Yanxi answered him, she turned her head slightly and glanced back, her eyelashes fluttering visibly. Then he lowered his head and continued to recall the scene that had just happened:

The one covered in scarlet armor. The man of the blood-colored demon, most likely Kai Ye, finally told her: "Whether you can save the situation of the war of destruction depends on you." ”

What is the War of Destruction?

"Huh? It's Mr. Dior...... Hey, Monsieur Dior! Are you okay? Xie Shenghai grew his mouth in surprise, and rushed in the direction of the cab of the loading truck with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Dio crouched on the ground with his elbow in his arms, and the expression on his face became very sad. His eyes were glazed, and the corners of his mouth were still squirming and muttering: "It's over, it's all over, it's all over......"

"Hold on, you're all right. This...... We'll figure it out for you. For a while, Xie Shenghai forgot about Yanxi and squatted in front of Dior to comfort him. He put one hand on his right shoulder, his eyes fixed.

.

If you want to talk about Wang Qiang, he is an old man who is about to be 40 years old, and he is actually a famous bachelor in the village, but no one dares to laugh at him. Wang Qiang wants to look good, and he wants to have a figure; The strength is not ordinarily great, and the IQ is not ordinarily high.

A few years ago, Wang Qiang got married in the village, and he was still married to a beautiful girl from the Cadgarh Self-Defense City. However, the woman later disliked Wang Qiang's poverty, and she didn't go to work at night (here it refers to not going to sea to fish), so that the woman ran away after less than two months of marriage.

Since then, Wang Qiang has lived a single life for decades. On weekdays, he often walks around shirtless when he has nothing to do, and his muscles are scary. In addition to this, he also has a penchant for grinning lips and a puzzled smile, which makes him appear to be mistaken as a cunning and somewhat obscene person. In fact, Wang Qiang's personality is also very easy-going, but it is not too obvious.

At night, when he is alone, he cooks in the yard, and Wang Qiang sometimes likes to go to the neighbor's house to eat. Of course, I went at the invitation of my neighbors. His dinner was very simple, boiling a pot of thin soup with some rice grains or cornmeal, and then stir-frying a plate of soybeans or idle peanuts. There was no liquor seller in the village, so he usually walked alone to the Cadgarh Acropolis to buy it. And because there was no car, the people in the village often saw him going early in the morning and returning at night when it was dark.

It's dark, and Wang Qiang is also preparing dinner Zheng

He scooped a spoonful of rice pellets and rinsed them back and forth on the water pipe several times before finally daring to pour them into the pot that had already been filled with hot water. When everything is cleaned up, I wait for the leftovers from noon in the cauldron to be cooked and the rice soup in the pot to be cooked. Wang Qiang wiped his palms, and walked back to the house to rest by himself.

At this time, a shadow of Rao ran silently outside the courtyard. Hunched over, there was obviously a hunchback, and when the figure's head slowly appeared on the high wall of Wang Qiang's house, he finally saw the person clearly - it turned out to be Lao Xi

.

"Xi, how do I feel that your mood is a little wrong, what's wrong with you?" Back at home, Xie Shenghai hurriedly made dinner, and Yanxi stood beside him to help make it.

It's been an afternoon, and she hasn't even snorted.

"Huh? I'm fine. Yanxi glanced at him and casually agreed. Although she said that she was fine, her voice sounded inexplicably sad, more like a feeling of being preoccupied and unwilling to speak.

"You...... Is it really okay? Xie Shenghai's eyes were wide and full of doubt, staring at her hand to track her movements.

"It's fine." Yanxi exhaled a sullen breath and said quickly.

"But- what the hell are you doing?" Xie Shenghai was completely dumbfounded. He watched Yanxi's eyes wander, and the movements under his hands were still pouring soy sauce on the lid of the pot, and the whole bottle was about to be emptied by her!

"Huh? Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...... I ......" Yanxi suddenly woke up, looked down at it, and hurriedly put away the soy sauce bottle in her hand. When he looked up and faced the sea of Xie Shenghai, his face was as hot as if he had been roasted.

"Eh, it's okay...... it's okay" Xie Shenghai immediately stopped chopping vegetables, he looked at Yanxi sideways, and stammered: "Why don't you go to the house and rest for a while?" ”

"No, I, I'm ......" Yanxi bit her lip lightly, and she didn't know what to do with herself.

"Cooking is such a thing, in fact, as long as we men come."

"I'm really sorry for the trouble." Yanxi lowered her head, not daring to look at Xie Shenghai again. Then she suddenly remembered to pull the rag off, and then deliberately rubbed the soy sauce liquid on the lid of the pot. The middle finger unintentionally touched the top of the pot lid, and the hot temperature instantly stabbed.

"Don't be like that, there's no trouble...... Like, how do you feel like you're a little bit on your mind? When Xie Shenghai arrived here, the corners of his mouth suddenly stopped. He was acutely aware that it could be a mistake to ask such a question.

"Well, actually, there is." Yanxi's voice was like a mosquito buzzing.

"Then you can tell me, how about I help you share the burden?"

"I've digested it."

"Uh, okay." At this point, Xie Shenghai had no choice but to stop asking. He quickly cleaned up the cutting board and prepared to clean the next pot of two large conchs.

.

Lao Xian's eyes rolled, and more than a dozen ideas of sneaking into Wang Qiang's courtyard suddenly popped up in his head, but none of them were actually effective. He listened to the sound of the wind, and noticed the tiny molecules in the air changing.

At this time, Lao Xian saw Wang Qiang coming out of the house again, and under the eaves with the door light on, he turned his back and lifted the lid of the pot to see how the cooked rice was doing. Therefore, he deliberately pressed his gaze downward, revealing only two eyes that glittered with greed on the wall line. His eyes were fixed, staring at Wang Qiang until he saw him walk back into the house again.

.

"And recently, the Avengers of the Deep have frequently appeared on land. And just now there are three of them, which is really not a good sign, me? When Xie Shenghai brought the hot dishes into the house, he found that Yanxi was dragging her chin boringly, leaning on the table in a daze.

Maybe he didn't realize that Xie Shenghai had walked in, but Yanxi was still deeply trapped in her confused consciousness, recalling what happened to Bai:

Although he couldn't remember what had happened before, he was suddenly shaken away by a wave of energy light. Looking up, he was surprised to see the scarlet and shiny armored back, and turned his body slightly.

"Xi, it's a good feeling to see you again."

……

"Hey, hey? Xi? ”

"Huh?"

"How do you ...... Why are you so distracted? Xie Shenghai gently put the dish in the middle of the table, and his expression was particularly confused.

Yanxi couldn't bear the psychological pressure, and suddenly stood up for some reason. But when she was about to speak, she winced again.

"You can't do this, are you sick?" After Xie Shenghai glanced at her a few times, she turned around and was about to go outside to bring in the rest of the dishes, but her voice unexpectedly came down the air:

"Otherwise, I'll leave now." Yanxi's voice was swift and decisive, without the slightest nervousness or hesitation, as if this sentence had been brewing in her heart for a long time.

"What?" This sound shook Xie Shenghai, who had just stepped out of the threshold with his front foot. He struggled to keep the emotion on his face calm and turned around slowly. Asked in a low voice, "Xi, why are you like this all of a sudden?" ”

"Sheng Hai, I still have a lot of things to do, of course, the most important thing for me is to deal with the ultimate darkness," Yan Xi's voice was sharp, she walked forward, and her voice continued calmly: "There is no longer a moment to delay." ”

"Then, then you can leave after eating, okay?" Xie Shenghai's voice quickly cooled down. can see that there is a hint of hesitation in the corners of his eyes, and he has no intention of forcing Yanxi to stay.

"Thank you for your kindness, Shenghai - but I think I'd better leave quickly, I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you."

Before Xie Shenghai opened his mouth to ask for something, Yanxi's face showed a resolute expression, and he walked quickly in the direction of the door. Her words, gestures, and walking posture all have such a decisive energy, leaving no regrets in the whole process.

"Hey, Shio, please wait a while before leaving!" Xie Shenghai was stunned for two seconds before he reacted, and quickly chased him out to see.

A black silk lamp hung from the flower board in the room, and the dim light shone on the table. A plate of hot dishes that whet your appetite is filled with a looming cloud of gas.

Yanxi wanted to leave, but it was already within Xie Shenghai's expectations. Because since she came back at noon, her mood has fluctuated greatly. At this moment, Xie Shenghai held the nameplate handed over to him by Shanju in his palm, rushed to the door of the courtyard quickly, and reached out to stop Yanxi.

"Xi, where the hell are you going?"

"I'm going to accomplish my mission, it's too late."

Through the dim light of the inner room, Xie Shenghai saw that Yanxi's side face was in a hazy state. But looking at her from this angle, she is really beautiful.

"Is your mission...... "She clearly had something to say. Xie Shenghai thought about it in his heart, but he still couldn't figure out what she meant by this. On his lips, a smile flowed unconsciously.

"Hmm." Yanxi's attitude is very resolute.

"Hmm...... All right! Since this is the case, Xie Shenghai also quickly put away the polite words he retained, nodded and told her: "Since you have made up your mind, then I will no longer ...... I won't keep you anymore. Remember, if you have a problem, just come to me, I will definitely help you. ”

After speaking, Xie Shenghai took the lead in stretching out his right palm and throwing it in the air, which is a symbol of friendship.

"Thank you......" Yeon-si slowly lowered her head to see his palm blackened in the dark shadow. He was stunned for a second, then stretched out his palm and shook it with him.

"You're welcome, because we're friends."

"Hmm."

Xie Shenghai's face showed a playful smile, which made Yanxi suddenly feel unhappy.

In fact, he just had a bright smile and the dim light at the time. And there was a hint of complicated sadness on the smile on his face. Like fallen leaves floating in mid-air under the autumn wind, struggling and wandering between the ground and the earth.

Later, Xie Shenghai sent Yanxi to the entrance of the village, and the two chatted about a lot of things on the road. The most important thing is that Xie Shenghai asked Yanxi about the condition of the mountain colt, although she answered stumblingly, but she was already very satisfied that he had come.

It wasn't until Xie Shenghai watched Yanxi's back gradually disappear into the dark moonlight path that he beckoned, and then hesitantly turned around and walked home.

"Okay," said Xie Shenghai, walking on his way home. "It looks like another hurried passerby. But I'd rather she'd come back to me one more time, and I'd better bring me another message of the foal (which is impossible, of course). Because I really can't leave the South Island of the heir. Well, goodbye, Shio......"

The sapphire necklace around his neck shimmered with a hazy ocean blue light.
