Chapter 296: The so-called selection
"Ha, it's so comfortable." Ang comfortably soaked in the hot spring and said happily, "During the time I left the village, the most unsatisfactory thing was to take a bath, and I really couldn't relieve my fatigue by just taking a shower." ”
"Haha, yes, sure enough, the hot spring is the most comfortable." Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Just now, when Ang rubbed his back behind his back, it was absolutely impossible to say that he didn't have a little heart in his heart, he was a normal person. However, he still has a little discipline, that is, he will not attack a child like Ang.
Moreover, after such a long period of training for Shuang'er, Li Mu has a lot of resistance, so when he was rubbed on his back just now, Li Mu was quite normal and did not make a fool of himself.
"The hot springs are superb, but the starry sky is also good. There aren't many opportunities to see so many stars. Li Mu lay his head up in the pool and looked up at the starry sky in the sky, at this time the sky was completely dark, more stars appeared in the sight, Li Mu looked at the many twinkling stars in the sky, showing a trace of nostalgia.
"Hey, hey, because it's called the Land of the Falling Stars," Aung replied proudly, "and the altitude here is high, and the air is pure, so you can see farther than in the town." ”
"I see, I really envy you to be able to live in such a good place." Li Mu sighed.
"For example, if the master likes it, he can also live here......" Ang said excitedly.
"Huh?" Li Mu looked at Ang.
"Nothing, nothing." Ang blushed and put his face on his face with both hands.
"I, I mean, it's really, really nice that you like it." Aang said after a moment. "It's worth it to bring you here......"
"You...... That, Ang, why do so much for me? Li Mu finally asked the doubts in his heart. I didn't hesitate to break the ancestral precepts in the family and brought me here, and you were obviously innocent, weren't you reprimanded for this? Although everyone seems to understand it in the end...... By the way, what exactly did your grandfather mean by 'chosen'? ”
"Well," Ang put his hands on his knees and buried his face between his legs, leaving only a pair of eyes outside, "Well, that, because this village is secret from the outside world, so there is no communication with the outside world, and occasionally people like me go out to collect some information, in addition, there are also people who find marriage partners outside and bring them back here." ”
"Wait, wait, then, what did I mean by 'chosen' at that time?" Li Mu's sweat came down.
"That, that's a euphemism, in order to make the big brother accept it, I can only say that...... Sorry for the trouble ......"
A large piece of cold sweat broke out on Li Mu's head. Even though I was still soaking in the hot springs, I always felt a chill enveloping me.
"Master, master, what's wrong with you?" Ang felt Li Mu's same, and she looked at Li Mu a little strangely.
"It's nothing, even because of this, you're too early to get married, why don't I go talk to your grandfather and let him clear up the misunderstanding?" Li Mu said tentatively. When he finished, he felt the chill around him decrease a lot.
"But, but......" Aang twisted the fingers of his hands.
"It's okay, your grandpa will understand. After all, he is an elder here, and his demeanor is unusual, and I think he also saw through this before helping out. ”
"Well, that's possible, grandpa is a very perceptive person." Aung echoed.
"So, maybe he saw through your measurements when I talked to him before, so we will definitely get his understanding if we talk about it well."
"I hope so." Ang bowed his head.
I don't know how long it took, Ang Cai and Li Mu came out of the hot spring, and when the two came to the hall, the old man Tianze had already returned to the village, at this time, there were hot pots on the long table in the hall, not the kind of Sichuan-style mandarin duck pot, nor the kind of copper pot in the capital, but the kind of Japanese hot pot similar to the miscellaneous boiling. A large pile of vegetables and meat was cooked in the soup base before it was served. In Li Mu's opinion, this thing is almost a stew, but it still tastes very good.
In addition to the hot pot, there are some side dishes on the table, some of which are made from the meat of the colorful winged bird sent by Li Mu today, and some of which are vegetables bought from the village below the mountain.
The old man Tianze looked very happy, and deliberately took out a few bottles of old wine and drank it with everyone. Li Mu also drank two glasses together. Although the alcohol content is not high, because it has been stored for a long time, the sake has become very mellow and has a long aftertaste.
During this period, Kai had been sitting opposite Li Mu, although he was not too friendly when he looked at Li Mu, but after all, he didn't say anything but drank by himself.
After Li Mu ate seventy-seven-eighty-eight, he said goodbye and went back to the house to sleep. After all, there are still a lot of things to experience on this day. He also needs to regain his energy.
And Ang knelt next to Li Mu, "Good night master, I hope you can recover your energy tomorrow." ”
"Aang." This is the old man Tianze walking in from the outside.
"Grandpa? What are you doing here? Aung asked, a little surprised.
"Well, it's more serious than I imagined, I went to the town to inquire about the situation, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in Montbulia City......" Tian Ze said lightly.
"Ah, grandpa, do you know what that city means?" Ang looked at the old man Tianze with some surprise.
"Well, it's time for you to know this, come with me to my room. Staying here will wake him up. Tianze glanced at Li Mu and said.
"yes, got it." Aung walked out of the room lightly, then closed the door gently.
Li Mu, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, "It's really a headache, forget it, let's go see what the situation is first." Li Mu sat up gently.
In the room where the old man Tianze entertained Li Mu during the day, Tianze and Ang sat facing each other.
"Ang, you are also a ninja in our land of falling stars, you should know the name of our clan that has been passed down from generation to generation, we are not ordinary ninjas, our name that bears this mission is ......"
"Guardian of the Land of the Falling Stars." Aung continued. "That's what people call us."
"Well, it's just that the enemy is the only one who calls us that way now," Tian Ze's face showed a hint of loneliness, "The last person to call us Guardian is none other than the former city lord of Montbria, Duke Giscar. ”
"Ah, Miss Erwin's father." Ang showed a surprised expression, "Grandpa, do you know him?" ”
"He died hundreds of years ago, and even I didn't have the chance to see him," Tian Ze said with some regret, "but as descendants of the humans who fought alongside him against the Golden Demon Lord in the Great War five hundred years ago, we have been secretly fulfilling our covenant with Duke Giscard for generations. ”
"It's complicated," Ang scratched his head, "but that means Grandpa knows everything about what's going on the island?" The place where those people went is called the Moon World, and everyone is looking for clues, do you know anything grandpa? ”
"Well, whoever knows this secret, I'm afraid I'm the only one on this island. At this point, I knew I couldn't hesitate for a moment. Tell him all this tomorrow when Li Mu gets up. ”
"Tell the master?" Aung was a little surprised.
"What? Are you worried about him? Do you think it's too much of a burden for him right now? ”
"No, as long as it's a master, it's fine, although I've not known each other for a long time, but I'm sure that as long as it's a master, there's nothing wrong with him." Ang said confidently.
"Hahaha, you really have confidence in him," Tian Ze said happily, "It seems that the so-called selection is not necessarily an excuse to perfunctory me for the time being." ”
"Grandpa, grandpa." Ang looked at the old man Tianze with some dissatisfaction.
"Oh, my incomprehensible granddaughter can be so out of shape, so I'll entrust you to him by the way when we talk tomorrow." Tianze said with a smile.
"Grandpa, grandpa, what are you talking about?" Ang blushed a little.
"It's a shame you don't have that chance anymore." An annoying voice outside the window interrupted the conversation.
