Chapter 172: Flight
Ah Cheng sat outside the gate of the water prison for a long time every day, talking and chatting with Xiao Ling. Because he had experienced the kind of days when no one cared about and there was no end in sight, Ah Cheng accompanied Xiao Ling every day, not wanting her to have that desperate mood. Sometimes he doesn't understand that Xiao Ling already knows all the truth, but he is still willing to stay here for seven days. Qingruo sent someone to deliver food and drink every day, and Ah Cheng looked at the food every time he was bored, and almost none of it was eaten by himself, and it looked delicate and delicate.
"Qingruo really opened a small stove for you, I have never seen this food."
When Ah Cheng said this, Xiao Ling ate a dish of jade shrimp, a dish of braised bamboo shoots in oil, and a dish of chicken hair vegetables in soup. These dishes are not common in the capital, but Xiao Ling has read in books, these are the most fashionable dishes many years ago when the capital was still abundant. Xiao Ling didn't expect that these foods could appear in this desert, which was also magical.
Xiao Ling touched the taste and said, "Actually, I haven't eaten these things." There are only a few things that can be used as ingredients in the capital, almost all of them have been matched by nutritionists, and the food is tasteless. ”
Ah Cheng pursed his lips, not intending to discuss these trivial matters with Xiao Ling.
"How many days have you known you've been here?"
Xiao Ling finished eating the last piece of bamboo shoots in the bowl and said, "Seven days." Ah Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Your sense of time is quite good." ”
Xiao Ling disagreed: "You sit here for a day, and if you come seven times, that's seven days." ”
Ah Cheng was dumbfounded, and was tragically defeated.
"What's the situation in the capital?"
Hearing Xiao Ling's question, Ah Cheng couldn't help but be happy: "I thought you didn't care at all!" ”
Xiao Ling said indifferently: "You obviously want me to ask this, right?" ”
The long squatting made Ah Cheng feel uncomfortable, so he simply jumped into the water, and talked to Xiao Ling while swimming.
"In the capital, there is no big movement. It seems that Admiral Ling does not want to seek you back as he claims. Although some people were excluded, almost no one came to this side of the desert. If you say it, Admiral Ling has probably given up on you. ”
Getting such news, Xiao Ling didn't think like Qing Ruo. She thought about it in her heart, and always felt that Admiral Ling was still hiding a traitor.
"Do you have to wait until he releases the news and announces to the world that you are dead, so that you are not hiding a traitor?" Ah Cheng asked rhetorically.
Xiao Ling has been staying in the water prison these days, and he only feels as if his head is not moving too much, so he doesn't think about it. She listened intently to Ah Cheng's voice, closed her eyes in the dark, and couldn't stop imagining what it would be like on the water.
Ah Cheng is actually a very handsome man, different from Xiao Ziya's handsomeness, his handsomeness is softer, and even a little feminine, but he has the air of a big boy. Ah Cheng is very enthusiastic and impulsive, and when he is indifferent, it makes people hate it even more. He had bitten through his own skin and let the blood flow, as if now he was swimming in the water and letting the water flow.
Xiao Ling felt confused, and Ah Cheng also felt that the water was not easy to move, and it seemed that the more he swam, the more tired he became. At first, neither of them knew what was happening, and one felt that the water around him was gradually solidifying, and it was not easy to move his arms and legs; And the one in the water prison felt more and more irritability in his heart, as if the space around him was shrinking, making the temperature in the air rise more and more, and he was becoming more and more red-faced.
"What's going on?"
Ah Cheng sensed that something was wrong, and he jumped up and jumped to the shore. The flow of water, which he has been familiar with since he was a child, seems to be imprisoning his body little by little, and he can't stand it and opens his clothes, revealing a smooth body, and he feels better. And Xiao Ling in the water prison was not so lucky, she kept pressing her chest, and she felt more and more difficult to breathe.
"There's something wrong with this water."
A faint voice came from the water prison, making Ah Cheng realize that everything that had just happened was not accidental. He hurriedly jumped to the door outside the water prison and slammed the door hard.
"Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling! How are you? ”
Xiao Ling, who is separated by a wall, is another scene. Just like Ah Cheng just now, she couldn't help but tear her clothes, so that her skin could come into contact with the air as much as possible. She was also wearing the heavy robes she had come from the capital, with layers of lining on the inside, making it even more difficult to breathe.
But this could not alleviate Xiao Ling's predicament, and the temperature of the surrounding air was also terrifyingly hot, as if it could roast people. Xiao felt that her belly was swelling, and she hugged her belly in horror, and as the walls and floors that were constantly trembling fell sharply, the sound of the wind whistling in her ears made her feel more upset than ever.
Xiao Ling couldn't stand shouting, and it wasn't until she heard her own shout and felt the wind blowing on her face that she finally realized that this matter had passed.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a black wreckage collapsed on the water, scattered and scattered. She herself was standing in the middle of the wreckage, her clothes and hair were wet, and her skin felt sticky. The slippery patch under her feet showed that she was standing on the water at this moment, which was incredible!
"What's going on?"
Xiao Ling looked around in disbelief, then at his feet, and raised his head to ask Ah Cheng.
Ah Cheng's gaze at him was very deep, but after making contact with Xiao Ling's gaze, it immediately became flickering, avoiding the other party's gaze, and turning his head to look away.
"It's a little shorter than I expected."
When Xiao Ling and Ah Cheng were embarrassed and speechless, Qingruo didn't know when she appeared on the shore. Xiao Ling looked at her in surprise, and she didn't know if she had witnessed the whole process. Xiao Ling had too many questions in her mind, and this kind of question made her involuntarily move her body, but she found that her body, which should have been heavier with water, actually moved lightly with her will, and when she raised her hand again, her whole body actually flew!!
This strange feeling of fluttering immortal made Xiao Ling extremely frightened, and she spun helplessly in the air, looking at Ah Cheng and Qingruo's eyes full of helplessness.
Qing Ruo looked at Xiao Ling with an analytical and contemplative gaze, and muttered to herself, "This is my real daughter." Qingruo, with her own energy, will, and even aesthetic taste, spent seven days to create an incubator for Xiao Ling again, so that she could go through the same warmth and nutrition as her mother in it, and regain her life.
Xiao Ling was like a fledgling that had just hatched, spinning in the sky, joy and horror coexisted, making the expression on her face form a more distorted angle, but it was not difficult to hide her excitement.
This is the special ability that the ****, or the **** of the capital soldiers, have that can fly. Xiao Ling once thought that this ability was brought about by the black cloak that could change into many things, but he didn't expect that it was originally derived from the genetic power of the person himself.
"It's amazing."
After flying in mid-air for a while, Xiao Ling gradually mastered the method of being able to control the direction and altitude of flight. She controlled her body to fly higher in a higher direction, and the panicked and distorted expression on her face gradually became smoother and smoother, happy, and even burst into happy shouts.
Qingruo was still standing on the shore, looking up at her daughter, and couldn't help but smile a little on her face. And Ah Cheng stood next to her, raising his head, his eyes chasing Xiao Ling's constantly changing figure, his eyes were full of admiration.
The clothes on Xiao Ling's body were still wet, the clothes on her arms and legs were transparent, and her scattered hair was stuck to her back, looking like a fairy. Ah Cheng hasn't felt this way for a long time, and he is moved by the shadow of a girl.
He still remembers the kind of heartbeat when he saw Zhang Wanyu in his ignorance, Qingruo once said that he had a mother-lover complex because of his lack of maternal love, and he once fiercely opposed it. However, today, he saw flashes and sparks in an expectant mother's body again, which made him feel an inexplicable guilt in his heart.
"Do you remember, what is the water used for?"
Xiao Ling was still enjoying her first flight in the sky, Qingruo's voice sounded in her ears, and Ah Cheng was in a trance for a moment.
Their home is hidden under the desert. Cheng still remembers that when he was a child, he used to play on this wide body of water, which flowed for many years without washing and always maintained a suitable temperature.
The elders of the clan have a deep affection for the river, and Ah Cheng vaguely remembers that they all like to call her "River of Love". But as the years passed, no one mentioned the name again.
Ah Cheng shouted out this strange and familiar name, and Qingruo couldn't help nodding: "Love is the most mysterious place in this land." Back then, I was seriously injured by the attack of Admiral Ling, and it was on this river that I recovered. Over the years, it has given us the strength of our genes to make our bodies stronger. It also irrigates the land and makes the crops more lush. This river is called "River of Love", and the most amazing thing is that she can perceive love. ”
Xiao Ling flew almost as fast as he landed on a lawn on the other side of the river. At this time, she noticed that her hair and clothes were not particularly elegant, and she was moving around while pulling, and she was embarrassed to bear the gaze of Ah Cheng and Qingruo.
