Chapter 22 22 Uncle Joe's Tree Tomb
"How long do you think Uncle Qiao will come back?" Arthur carefully wrapped the unfinished bread in his arms, and looked into the dark forest, where a pair of cold gloom flashed occasionally.
"I don't know, but judging from his reaction, I'm afraid he won't be back anytime soon." Fana gestured to the master, who was already sleeping comfortably under the tree, "Do you think he will have any dry food?" Fana asked vaguely as she tore off a small bite of flatbread and stuffed it into her mouth.
As this question arose, Arthur and Jack stared at the master who had fallen asleep and subconsciously swallowed, "Shall we go through it?" He didn't seem to finish the jerky just now, right? ”
However, before the two of them had bad ideas, the master opened his bright eyes, "If you want to do something bad, can you find a dark corner to discuss?" Is it okay to respect the person concerned? ”
"You leave one man for vigil." The master gave a red-faced order to Jack and Arthur, and then threw something into their arms, which was the uneaten jerky.
Arthur and Jack were very touched by this, this senior is actually quite kind, and he must have a good vigil tonight! Only Fana, who remained rational, looked at the master who fell asleep again with a scrutinizing gaze, could it be that he still had a private collection? But this is unknown.
On the other side, an unusually tall and emaciated humanoid monster revealed its slender, inverted triangular face in the bright moonlight, and its pale complexion made its scarlet blood-like eyes as if they were rubies particularly vivid.
Its nose twitched as if it were looking for something, when a ball struck its face and exploded into a gray mist, only to see it retching humanely and turning into a white lightning bolt into the forest.
At this time, a figure walked out from the shadows, "It's really damn, how can there be such a dangerous monster in this forest?" It's not normal. I saw that this man was sweating profusely and panting, as if he was running around, and his clothes were already stained with blood, and when the moonlight swayed on his face, it was Joe Morson who solved the food problem for the master and others.
"That's terrible, where is this?" Joe Morson struggled to get rid of the strange monster and then completely lost himself in the forest, "They're still waiting for me to go back!" Even though it was night, the look of determination in his eyes was still clearly visible.
As the sky grew brighter, Jack, who was keeping vigil, didn't know when he fell asleep at night, when suddenly Arthur's scream sounded, completely waking him up from his sweet dream, rubbing his sleepy eyes and asking, "What happened?" ”
Arthur pointed to the empty tree, where the master had slept, "The master has escaped!" And kidnapped your girlfriend! Jack didn't seem to catch any point, but blushed and stammered, "Although Fana and I are childhood sweethearts, we also team up to go on adventures, but girlfriends or something are not enough to ...... Right? ”
Arthur's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, "I mean that guy ran away!" ”
"Who ran away?" A voice rang out, but it was Fana who walked out from a certain direction, a look of confusion on her face.
"That's ......" Arthur's words were not finished, when he saw the master come on the stage with a fish bone and pick his teeth, and the master casually threw the fish bone into the soil, so that it was qualified to be turned into land nutrients, "You guys are early, have you had breakfast?" ”
The scene was silent for a while, and it was very embarrassing.
The master looked at the two people with wrong faces, and suddenly reacted, "Huh? You're slandering me again, little ghost? Hum! In that case, I won't invite you to eat grilled fish! ”
Fana glanced at him quietly, if she hadn't kept vigil until morning for Jack, who was asleep yesterday, I am afraid that she would not have had the opportunity to follow him to eat a grilled fish, right? And as far as she knew, he didn't prepare food for anyone at all, including Fana, he just ate it secretly.
Jack and Arthur, on the other hand, don't know the truth of the matter, and they are annoyed that they have missed the grilled fish that could have existed. Suddenly, the three of them reacted, "Do you know how to cook?" ”
"No, it's just a barbecue." The master told a story that was unusual.
"Let's go, Uncle Qiao should have suffered misfortune, we don't have to wait." Without giving the three of them a chance to continue asking, the master quickly decided to define Joe Morson as a dead man.
Joe Morson, who had been running all night without rest, suddenly felt a chill add to his body, "It seems that something bad has happened, no!" I'm going to pick up the pace! It's a pity that he couldn't go back on his own initiative.
"Let's go, if Uncle Qiao is okay, he will definitely find us." The master secretly wondered in his heart, Uncle Qiao should be able to find us?
Why do you make Uncle Joe's sacrifice a precondition? The three of them only felt that the development of things had exceeded their own and others' expectations, and even Jack, who regarded adventure as his life, couldn't help but cry out in his heart at this moment, "This is not the adventure I know!" ”
"Uncle Qiao, although you and I have known each other for a short time, although you are not smart, you are not strong at the same time...... I don't know how you got to the A level, but you're ...... Forget it, rest in peace. The master found a tree at random and carved his name, and earnestly made a parting speech, although he didn't think of praising the other party for a long time, but he said a lot of shortcomings!
The four of them embarked on the journey again, and Jack asked leisurely, "Will Uncle Joe hate you to death when he sees his name?" All three of them couldn't help but look at the master who started it.
He shook his head confidently, but did not tell them that in the end the name he used to engrave the 'grave erector' was not 'Master', but 'Arthur Pendragon & Jack Morgan'.
