Chapter 384 The Man in Blue
The most important thing for the Spring Festival is, of course, to be prosperous and festive.
For this reason, Huo Wen decided to go out and find some red dye, and come back to dye the cloth made by the armor shop red, of course, he was not the only one to do this, but he wanted to make some red cloth by himself, so that he could have a sense of ceremony.
Cloth Huo Wen can't do it, he is not a professional, he can't do it.
Of course, with the fabric, people can start to make clothes, and the custom of wearing new clothes for the New Year cannot be lost.
Today, Huo Wen went out of the city with Su Yi Xiaojing, Grandpa Su still had to deal with affairs, and he couldn't get out, so Huo Wen could only promise Grandpa Su to get him a beautiful red cloth to go back.
"Big brother, why do you all look so happy today?"
"Is there one?"
Huo Wen also glanced at the people around him.
Walking on the road of Yangcheng, the people on the side of the road had smiles on their faces, and their eyes were full of expectation.
"Maybe it's going to be the New Year."
"I know this!"
Xiao Jing suddenly jumped up with some joy: "When it comes to the New Year, grandma will get me a new dress no matter what, and there are kind people on the road to buy bread for Xiao Jing to eat." ”
She snapped her fingers and tilted her head: "Then there will be a lot of bottles and paper skins next to the trash can one day during the Chinese New Year, which can be sold for a lot of money, my grandmother and I earned the most in a day, and I picked up twenty yuan at a time, and my grandmother also took me to eat a hamburger that day." ”
"Is the burger good?"
"Delicious!"
Su Yi squatted down and touched Xiao Jing's head, feeling a little sorry for the child.
Huo Wen also clenched Xiao Jing's little hand: "I'll see if I can make you a burger when I have a chance in the future." ”
"Well, there will definitely be a chance, big brother can't lie to Xiaojing~"
"Haha, I'm a puppy if I lie to you."
Huo Wen picked up Xiao Jing and put it around his neck, and the three of them continued to walk outside Yangcheng.
Recently, there have been a lot fewer people going out to hunt, on the one hand, the demand for flesh and blood has become less, and the cultivation method discovered by a Taoist priest from the "Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture" is much better than Huo Wen's current devouring of flesh and blood day and night.
Huo Wen guessed that it might be that people's physical bodies had been strengthened to a certain extent, but their inner bodies had not kept up, and now they were just returning to cultivating their internal skills to balance the two.
Perhaps, this is all speculation, but after comparison, cultivation is really better than eating.
While walking and chatting, Huo Wen, Su Yi and Xiao Jing all enjoyed such a leisure time now.
But after all, the road is limited, some roads, you and some people walk, you think it is fatal, but if you change people, the same road, you feel that it is short, as if you have walked it in a few steps.
Huo Wen and the three of them all sat on the back of the beast, and as they walked, Huo Wen gave them information about the plants on the roadside, which ones could be eaten and which ones could not be eaten.
In this way, Huo Wen had a whim, and an idea came to his mind.
"Su Yi, how about we get a scientific research institute?"
"Specializing in alien beasts, aliens, and plants, after we liberate the world, we can return to farming, and we can rebuild factories..."
"This, let's talk about it later, the most important thing now is how to defeat the alien beast and the alien, or coexist peacefully."
Su Yi rejected this whimsical idea without even thinking about it, and the future of mankind has not yet been determined, so he will wave
It's unwise to waste time in those places.
"Forget it, let's think about it later. Now go ahead and look for dyes. ”
Huo Wen sat on Qiu Wu's back and continued to move forward, and suddenly, they saw a shrub covered with red berries!
Xiao Jing shouted in surprise: "There is fruit to eat!" Then he rode the beast into the bushes.
"I'm not sure if it's poisonous, don't eat it!" Huo Wen was a little helpless about this little girl, so he also ran over, picked a fruit and looked at it, and then carefully observed the leaves and rhizomes of the bush, and after making sure that this thing could be eaten, he threw one into his mouth.
"It's sweet, but it's a little astringent..."
"Let Xiaojing give it a try~"
Huo Wen picked a berry and sent it to Xiao Jing's mouth.
"I'm going to try one too!"
Seeing Huo Wen feeding Xiao Jing, Su Yi also said to Huo Wen with some jealousy, Huo Wen obediently did so, and also sent a fruit to Su Yi's mouth.
As a result, Su Yi bit the fruit in one bite, and also took Huo Wen's fingers in his mouth, looking at him with affection.
Huo Wen pushed one hand on Su Yi's head and pulled out the finger that was being held: "Come on, now is not the time to do that kind of thing." ”
"Hmph, ugly wood."
"This fruit can be made into red dye, and it's still red, so let's pick it back and dye the cloth."
"Okay, let's see who fills the bag first, and the slowest one washes the dishes tonight!"
Xiao Jing quickly took out the small schoolbag that Su Yi sewed for her, and began to pull and pull into it to fill with berries, and even some branches and leaves were put in, Huo Wen called Lai Pi: "Your schoolbag is smaller than ours, it's not fair!" ”
"If you don't want to wash the dishes, hurry up and wood."
Su Yi also took out his backpack, but it was still smaller than Huo Wen, and in order to pack more things, he asked Su Yi to make a big bag similar to a travel bag...
"Despicable!"
Huo Wen wanted to use Chen to cheat, but it was very difficult to control Chen Chang getting bigger and smaller, and when he got better, Xiao Jing might have already finished picking it up.
Of course, the final result was that Huo Wen lost, because Su Yi cheated and poured her own to Xiao Jing, and then the two of them colluded together, and the speed was naturally much faster than Huo Wen.
In the end, Su Yi and Xiao Jing went back with the dye first, while Huo Wen was going to prepare things for the sacrifice.
Although it sounds a little superstitious, even the strange beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas can escape, and there seems to be nothing wrong with them sacrificing.
What if the gods of the day really appeared?
First of all, Huo Wen learned that he had to prepare three animals, that is, pigs, cattle and sheep.
Huo Wen is ready to slaughter the beast king with three pigs, cows and sheep with a big hand, so it is sincere enough
But to hunt the Beastmaster, you must first find the Beastmaster... As a last resort, Huo Wen had no choice but to find Guang Lenglan and ask her to partner with him, and the latter happily agreed.
There seemed to be a thick barrier between the two, and they didn't talk to each other.
"How are you doing?"
"It's okay."
Guang Lenglan accosted Huo Wen first, but Huo Wen's answer seemed to be tepid.
"yes, how does it feel to be a commander?"
"It's nothing, it's just that there are more things to deal with, and how should life be in ordinary times."
"What about you, are you still in Xuanlong?"
"Yes, now by the side of the deputy head of the regiment
On the map, they finally discovered the role of my ability, but the head of the regiment still hasn't been recovered..."
Huo Wen and Guang Lenglan both sighed: "Hey~"
Huo Longxuan seems to have evaporated from the world, no matter how the people of the Xuanlong War Group search, they have never found any clues about Huo Longxuan, if he is dead, it will be fine, the aliens will not eat humans, at least the corpses and clothes will be left.
But so far, they haven't found anything about Huo Longxuan.
"Don't worry, he's so strong, he'll be fine, what you have to do now is to keep looking, I'm really bothering you today."
Huo Wen comforted Guang Lenglan, but Guang Lenglan said.
"Arwen, when did we become so strangers between us?"
“...”
Howen was silent.
After a long time, he said, "Maybe it started because I didn't want to face the facts." ”
"Found a bunch of strange beasts ahead!"
Guang Lenglan took the binoculars and warned Huo Wen, I don't know if I heard what he said.
"I'll deal with them."
Huo Wen jumped off Qiu Wu's back and turned into a ten-meter-tall giant to fight against the strange beasts, and soon the group of strange beasts were all killed, but none of them were the pigs, cattle and sheep he wanted.
"Keep looking."
Huo Wen and Guang Lenglan continued to walk in the wilderness, and after looking for a day, they found a beast king of pig-like beasts, and it was already dark.
For the next few days, Huo Wen searched for the remaining two animals, and finally found them for him on the fourth day, but it was on this day that Huo Wen saw a group of people dressed in dark blue clothes walking towards Yangcheng.
"Hello, is this Yangcheng?"
The speaker spoke Cantonese with a somewhat serious accent, and if Huo Wen hadn't grown up in Guangdong Province, he might not have understood what this guy was saying.
But since everyone has asked, Huo Wen naturally has to answer sincerely: "Yes, this is Yangcheng, where are you from?" ”
"The guards at the gate of the city will be registered, your origin and strength."
Huo Wen kindly reminded these people wearing weaving cloth, because in his opinion, the Inhumans are all wild people wearing animal skin armor and animal skin clothes, and people like this neatly dressed and personable are definitely their human beings.
Even if this personable appearance is accompanied by a thick accent of Cantonese.
"Ende"
The person in the lead thanked Huo Wen, who smiled at him and nodded: "No thanks." ”
Then, he had already left here and returned to Yangcheng to continue to prepare, because tonight was Chinese New Year's Eve, and it was time to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
But as a result, after this group of blue-clothed people walked into Yangcheng, they were stopped by the doorman, and there was a quarrel.
Huo Wen could hear the leader's special accent, but when he turned around, he saw a few blue-clothed men doing something to the city gatekeepers!
The sword was drawn from their loins, and the blade was pointed at the guard's throat!
At this time, Huo Wen launched his soul devouring ability against this group of guys, and in an instant, several people froze in place as if they had been stopped by pressing time, and Huo Wen immediately shouted: "Hold them down!" ”
Several guards reacted quickly and pressed these blue-clothed people to the ground, and the passers-by next to them also did the same, holding down the blue-clothed group like a thief, and when they seemed to react, they had no strength to resist.
