Chapter 143: The Road, the Legend of the Mountain Village and the Temple
The flames flickered into their mouths, and the skeleton was not only unharmed, but also seemed to be in good spirits, its teeth rattling and closing with a strange sound. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although he knew that Liu Shan didn't understand, he still spoke, looked over, and then quickly gestured with his two bone claws.
Looking at the skeleton's excited appearance, Liu Shan spread out his hand, and there was a lighter on his body, and he was lost by the skeleton's fire, which was quite helpless.
Seeing his actions, the skeleton quieted down, as if feeling lost, and sat in place for a long time without moving.
A strange movement came from the side at this time, and I saw that the crescent moon had woken up, with sleepy eyes, and her eyes fell on a person and a skeleton.
Liu Shan didn't attract her attention, but the skeleton made her look at it unexpectedly.
A burst of warmth hit, and those eyes noticed the fire, and their expressions did not move.
Crescent's whole petite body stood up and sat down in front of the fire.
The morning air is a little cold, especially in the cave, the specific heat capacity of the stone is very pitiful, not only does it transfer heat quickly but also dissipates heat quickly, so it is of no use except to keep the wind out and provide safety.
Liu Shan continued to throw a few pieces of coke before he stood up.
"I'll go get some food, Brother Bones, you stay and take care of protecting this place."
Hearing his words, the skeleton raised its head, its eyes flickered a few times, and it also stood up.
"Quack ......"
The skeleton croaked in its mouth, its bony fingers gesturing rapidly.
Although Liu Shan has become accustomed to the sign language of skeletons, it is still very difficult to understand.
"You, know, way, where, in, can, find, find, eat, things?"
Hearing Liu Shan's words, the skeleton immediately nodded, and then turned to leave with a chatter.
Looking at the skeleton's actions, Liu Shan immediately spoke: "That's hard." ”
"Quack."
By the time the sound fell, the skeleton had quickly disappeared into the hole.
Liu Shan continued to sit by the fire and began to wait.
The crescent moon's eyes kept falling on Liu Shan, and his gaze was as calm as water.
Gollum -
The protest against hunger made her stomach pop with a thud.
When the voice fell, a shy flush immediately appeared on her face, and she hurriedly touched her stomach.
Liu Shan looked up at the crescent moon again, groaned slightly, and took out a few colorful gems from the ability mark.
Under the reflection of the firelight, a brilliant brilliance emanates from the body of the gemstone.
These brilliance immediately caught the attention of the crescent moon, and her beautiful eyes looked at the gems, which kept flashing.
It can be seen that the crescent moon has some love for these gemstones.
Her every move fell on Liu Shan's sight, but Liu Shan didn't intend to give it away, he took out the tools one by one, and then began to carve these gems.
After a short period of busyness, the originally brilliant gemstones have been set by Liu Shan to form a delicate necklace.
The chain was nothing more than a whim, made at random, but as soon as the crescent moon saw it, her eyes immediately showed a look of surprise, and her eyes widened.
Her eyes were even more unblinking, and she seemed to like it more and more.
After the necklace is composed, the beauty of the gemstones is also combined, the original single gemstone is already very beautiful, and the effect of the combination is far from being as simple as adding a single gem.
Liu Shan put the necklace in the palm of the crescent moon, and the crescent moon almost jumped out of joy.
Looking at her joyful appearance, Liu Shan also felt relieved.
The atmosphere in the cave was washed away like this, and it was no longer so lifeless.
Time passed imperceptibly, and the skeleton finally returned to the cave, and the four hares were found out of nowhere, and they were carried in his hands.
Liu Shan washed and peeled these rabbits and grilled them directly on the fire.
When he sprinkled some spices on it, the smell of meat quickly spread.
The crescent moon stared at the barbecue, her body already tormented by hunger, so she reluctantly diverted her attention from the necklace in her hand.
Even the skeleton on the side seemed to be driven by the sense of taste, and the teeth moved a few times, and finally resisted the urge to pounce.
After the rabbit meat was cooked, Liu Shan and Crescent began to eat, only the skeleton looked at the two with envy.
I saw that one of his bony arms was raised, but he was grasping a fist-sized stone in his palm.
The skull's mouth opened, and it landed on the stone, and there was a click, and the stone easily turned into pieces of rubble in his mouth.
After eating, the two left the cave as soon as they were skeletons and continued on their way.
After passing through a vast mountain field, a small mountain village appeared in front of me.
Liu Shan looked at the mountain village, beside him, the crescent moon had already changed its appearance, and behind the two of them, the skeletons were also tightly wrapped in animal skins, wearing cloaks, gloves on their hands, and shoes on their feet, like a thin warrior.
Despite this, the skeleton was dressed much better than he really was.
As for the crescent moon, it is just a transparent mask, although it is still pure and lovely, but it is no longer as beautiful as before.
Yamamura looked ordinary, but her face was already nervous.
"Human, bad!"
Crescent Moon whispered, and her little hand grabbed Liu Shan's arm tightly.
"I'm here, don't worry, this time it's just to find out the intelligence here, just passing by."
For the appearance of this mountain village, Liu Shan is still a little curious, so he wants to go and see it.
"Hmm." Crescent nodded, but her eyes were a little moist, and her little hands grasped it tighter.
Hearing her words, Liu Shan and his entourage went straight to the mountain village.
The village is not large, with more than 100 families.
Several stone houses are scattered in a scattered manner.
After Liu Shan entered the mountain village, he found that most of the people in the village were old people, women and children, and it was rare to see young and strong, and even children were rare.
Seeing them, the villagers looked at them with curiosity one by one.
"This strong man, who has come from afar, is the head of this village, welcome to our small mountain village." A voice came from the front.
Liu Shan looked up and saw an old man of sixty or seventy years old walking towards them, followed by two seven or eight-year-old boys behind the old man.
Although the old man's hair was gray, his eyes still looked energetic.
For the old village chief's words, Liu Shan smiled faintly, "We went into the mountain to chase and kill a fierce beast, and we accidentally saw this place on the way, so we took the liberty to disturb it." ”
"It's okay, it's a guest."
After saying this, the old village chief immediately commanded the boy behind him, and the latter nodded and ran away.
After a while, I saw the boy return and whispered a few times to the old village chief.
The old village chief continued to look up at Liu Shan and said with a smile: "There are no good things in the village, only some old wine, if you don't dislike it, how about going to have a drink with the old man." ”
"This should be my own company." Liu Shan smiled and spoke.
After speaking, the old village chief led the way in front, and Liu Shan and his party followed and came to a simple stone pavilion.
Several jars of wine had already been served, and the jars looked the size of buckets, but a bony arm reached over and easily grabbed one.
Liu Shan also grabbed a wine jar, and suddenly felt his arm sink, and looked at the old village chief, and couldn't help but show a little appreciation in his eyes.
"The years are urging people to get old, and the old decay is no longer as good as you young people."
The old village chief sighed, sat down slowly, lifted the seal and drank heavily.
The man seems to be very fond of drinking, and drinks like a cow.
Goo, goo, goo-
It wasn't until the small half of the jar fell that he put down the jar and spat out heavily, "Happy!" ”
As a young man, Liu Shan was naturally not far behind, he also grabbed the wine jar and drank half of the jar, he only felt that his head was dizzy, his eyes were dark, and he almost fell asleep.
After a while, he felt that his body seemed to be accustomed to wine, and most of his drunkenness disappeared, he raised the wine jar and touched the old village chief, grabbed it and took a big sip.
The old village chief looked at him in surprise, and exclaimed: "What a young man, the old man drinks so much, few people can drink me." ”
After speaking, he directly put all the rest of the wine into his stomach.
A blush appeared on the old man's cheeks, and a loud laugh came out of his mouth.
Regarding the old man's actions, Liu Shan also drank the rest of the wine, but his face did not change.
Behind him, the crescent moon had been silent since it entered the mountain village, and the skeleton stood quietly aside.
For their team, a teenager, a beautiful girl, a samurai with a cloak.
Although the old village drank with Liu Shan, he had already looked at the three people in front of him, and in his opinion, Liu Shan was the leader of this team.
Thinking of this, he said: "But I don't know what the strong man is doing when he came to this village, you might as well tell the old man if he can help." ”
Liu Shan didn't answer, just shook his head.
"I don't know when I'm leaving." The old village chief asked again.
"I'm almost done drinking." Liu Shan said lightly.
Hearing this, the old village chief smiled again.
The two of them continued to drink, and they both seemed to have a good amount of alcohol.
The old village chief seemed to have drunk the excitement, and suddenly sighed in his mouth, "Now the young people have chosen to go to the city, and only we, the old women, and children are left in the village, and even I, the village chief, have no choice to find an heir, and a small mountain village can't keep those strong men." ”
"Why don't the people of the village go into the city together."
Regarding Liu Shan's words, the old village chief smiled bitterly and said, "This is my ancestral root, and I really don't want to leave." ”
Listening to his words, Liu Shan just smiled on his face, and said again: "I don't know if the village chief knows if there are knights around here." ”
"Knight." The old village chief's face immediately showed a confused look.
Seeing his expression, Liu Shan groaned slightly, and seemed to understand, so he described the knight he had met before.
After listening, the old village chief showed a sudden expression.
"You're talking about the temple guards."
"Temple."
"Yes, the temple is formed by a hair of the gods falling on the ground, and it has the power of a god, as for those divine guards, I haven't seen them, and these people generally don't appear in front of us mortals."
"I'm curious if you can tell us more about the temple."
"I don't know much about the temple, if you are interested, you might as well go to the holy mountain, where the temple is located."
Listening to the old village chief's explanation, Liu Shan nodded and continued to drink.
After drinking, Liu Shan did not stay any longer, and left the mountain village with the crescent moon and skeletons.
