Chapter 53: Building a House
"Whew!"
Li Ling threw a straight punch at the head of the batman on the right. The batman had been beaten by Li Ling, and he was so frightened that he immediately fluttered and wanted to fly.
The left-handed batman was ruthless and decisive, and immediately stretched out his claws and took the opportunity to sneak attack Li Ling's flank and rear.
Li Ling didn't look back, and waved his left arm violently, knocking it back.
At the same time, the batman on the right hand was punched in the abdomen by him. He tried to keep his opponent from getting hurt, but he still made the opponent scream and fall to the ground.
When he turned around, Li Ling saw the batman behind him flapping its wings suddenly, and he barely stabilized his body, but the rattan was tightly strangled around its neck, and it was impossible to escape.
Turning his head to look at his left arm, there were a few shallow cuts on the pale skin, maybe a little painful, but the feeling was not very clear. Shaking his head with a wry smile, he randomly chose a batman and pounced.
With a few "bang" sounds, a batman fell to the ground "cunningly", raising its two paws high in the air in a gesture of surrender.
Stunned, Li Ling thought that these beasts should have been in contact with humans, and they seemed to be smart enough, which would save some communication troubles.
Touching it from behind, Li Ling took out the dagger he was carrying, smiled like a demon, and walked towards the poor pair of beasts.
Immediately, an even sharper scream echoed throughout the Iron Wall Canyon......
The sunset is slanting, and the sunset is full of sky.
With a few screams, two batmen appeared in the canyon at the top of the mountain, struggling to flicker their wings.
On a different note, the two batmen seemed to be missing something, their fangs and claws were gone, and only a few flat incisions remained, as if they had been carefully trimmed.
And the figure hanging below the batman and looking at the beautiful scenery on the horizon with emotion is Li Ling.
Viewed from above, the Iron Wall Canyon looks like a giant crevice, perched on the top of a towering mountain.
According to the direction in his memory, Li Ling stretched out his hand and pointed. The bat man above his head received the order and immediately flew in the direction indicated by Li Ling.
"Qin Xiaoyu, no matter where you are, please be sure to wait for me!" Li Ling muttered in a low voice and clenched his fists.
……
"Nain, you're a big liar!" Qin Xiaoyu looked at the large pile of ingredients on the ground and shouted angrily. "What do you think I am, your babysitter?!"
"Stay calm! Little girl. Naine smiled awkwardly. Then he drooped his face and said in a hollow and hoarse voice: "The devil stares at your soul when it matures......"
"Smack!" A wild fruit flew in and smashed into Nain's face, the yellow juice covering her eyes. "When the rice is ripe, do you swallow it in one bite? You devil! ”
"Oh my God! That's what humans are! That's what a woman is! Naine angrily tugged at her face with her paws.
"What's wrong with the woman?! Believe it or not, I'm skinning you and cramping?! ”
"That's why humanity's forerunners got lost in war and killing." When she spoke again, Nain regained her usual calm tone.
"Don't go so far, let me ask you, why didn't those two batmen bring Li Ling's reply?!"
"Maybe he's busy and doesn't have time. Maybe he didn't think it was necessary, or maybe he lost the reply by the two batmen......"
"I don't trust you anymore, you dead rabbit!" Qin Xiaoyu gritted his teeth and said. "I won't make eight-treasure porridge for you beasts again!"
"Huh? This ......" Naine was embarrassed not to pinch his long beard. "What the hell do you want? Can you put it bluntly? ”
"Take me to see Li Ling!"
"No, he's doing penance. We'd better not disturb him until the end of the year! Do you want him to make nearly half a year's hard work in vain? ”
Qin Xiaoyu was slightly stunned, so he had to change his words: "It's okay if you don't let me see him, take me to the forerunner, let me see with my own eyes how terrible your so-called degenerate is?" ”
As he spoke, Qin Xiaoyu reached out again and picked up a berry from the ground and weighed it casually in his hand.
"Okay!" Unexpectedly, Naine nodded. "When Keith returns, I'll persuade him to accede to your request. But I advise you not to make any attempt to escape. Otherwise, Li Ling didn't know how long he would cultivate, maybe for a lifetime. ”
"Despicable!" Qin Xiaoyu muttered quietly, but he stopped arguing with Naiyin and obediently went to cook.
……
"Whew! Whew! Ma Xiyu laboriously pulled on the grass by the Crescent Lake, sorting out a large pile of artemisia grass. Full of excitement, Ma Xiyu carried the pile of artemisia grass and climbed up the raised slope not far away.
Not far away was the hut he and Haruko had stumbled upon, which had now fallen into a pile of dead branches and weeds.
What he was building was the culmination of his last two days—a larger, more spacious hut that could sit comfortably for two people, and strong enough for him to stand on the roof and fiddle with the artemisia grass without shaking.
When he laid out the artemisia grass in his arms neatly on the top of the newly built cabin, he almost fell off it from the top of the excitement.
Once again, he looked at Haruko, the future mistress of the cottage. She was sitting on the grass at the bottom of the slope, waiting quietly, her fair face and knees looming in the grass.
Counting the time, he has secretly liked this little girl for a year and many days. It wasn't until last night that he finally heard the most beautiful words he had ever heard: Let's also build a hut, like Li Ling and Qin Xiaoyu.
"Hmm!" Ma Xiyu nodded calmly, and she couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and howl.
What does it mean to build a house? A daughter-in-law, of course. After most of the day of non-stop fighting, he finally completed his task before dusk came.
Although the cottage in front of him is not a mansion compound, he built it with his own hands. In such a difficult time, he believes that Haruko understands the romance and meaning.
Ma Xiyu quietly walked behind Haruko, "Wow! He saluted and said amusefully, "Report sir!" Mission accomplished! ”
Qingzi was startled, and was about to blame him, but saw Ma Xiyu's hair messy, mixed with hay and leaves, and couldn't help but laugh: "Have you heard a poem called a chicken lying on your head and a bright moon pig in your ears." ”
"I didn't ...... Heard! Ma Xiyu shook her head blankly. But he felt that Haruko's eyes were crooked when she smiled, like the moon on Sirte.
The next moment, Ma Xiyu felt a surge of blood rushing to the top of her head, plucked up the courage to grab Haruko's wrist, and said, "Don't laugh, look at my results!" ”
As Ma Xiyu expected, Haruko nodded with satisfaction and cast an approving glance at him: "Although I said that there is no need to build such a spacious, it can withstand the cold." But it's really amazing, thank you! ”
"Do we still need to be polite between us?!" Ma Xiyu blamed the authentic, and then bent down politely and said, "Please come in!" ”
"Well, but ......," Haruko looked left and right. What about your own resting hut? Why didn't I see it? ”
"Huh?!" Like a basin of cold water poured on his head, Ma Xiyu shivered coldly, but said forcefully: "No need, I'll just sleep outside." I am a person who loves nature and loves the feeling of being embraced by the stars and kissed by the night breeze! ”
"Oh." Haruko nodded approvingly.
"Well, let's get some rest early!" Ma Xiyu's heart was dripping blood, but she had to maintain her last demeanor. I thought that Haruki clearly said that he was like Li Ling and Xiao Yu, but there was only one hut here!
When he turned around, the sound of the door closing from behind Ma Xiyu, and Haruko's quiet muttering: "It's so cold at night, it's really perverted......"
……
The sky gradually darkened, and after a short rest and filling of their stomachs in the afternoon, the two batmen had been carrying Li Ling for two hours.
Now, the two bat-men are already flying and shaking, and it seems that they can't hold it anymore. But Li Ling didn't have the slightest intention of letting the two batmen fall down and rest, and even waved a few fists from time to time to make them speed up.
Because he had seen some familiar scenes—lush forests, winding rivers, and white boulders by the river.
It shouldn't be too far from the place where he and Qin Xiaoyu were separated. At this rate, it is estimated that I will not see her the next day.
But the more anxious Li Ling was, the slower the two batmen flew, and the flying altitude became lower and lower. On several occasions, Li Ling's legs and feet even scratched the branches of big trees.
As a last resort, Li Ling let the two batmen land. Tie them to a thick tree trunk.
After inspecting the surroundings and making sure that there was no danger, Li Ling found a dry open space and lay on the ground with his clothes closed.
In the middle of the night, Li Ling was awakened by a squeaky noise. When he went to check, he saw two batmen grimacing at the lower reaches of the river, looking restless.
Li Ling looked in that direction and faintly saw some bright light—like the light of a bonfire.
"Someone is making a fire in the distance! Maybe it's Qin Xiaoyu or Naiyin! Li Ling thought.
No matter who it was, Li Ling decided to go and see for himself.
Picking up the dagger, Li Ling walked in the direction of the firelight. The jungle was rugged and difficult to navigate, and with the help of the starlight, Li Ling cautiously advanced along the river.
There was a large white light in the distance, and he remembered this place, and he also recognized the lake in front of him, Crescent Lake.
"Qin Xiaoyu!" Li Ling read the name softly and quickened his pace again.
