Section 7: Green Hometown
After more than a dozen hours of rest, Zongchen's spirit finally eased up. After eating some food hastily, he took Partey's place and continued driving.
"Aren't you sleepy?" Zongchen looked at Palsi apologetically, but found that the little guy was very energetic, and there was not the slightest tiredness on his face.
"Not sleepy." Palsi behaved very indifferently, opened a can of canned fruit, and ate it very sweetly.
At this time, the car has entered an endless snowfield. Zongchen took out the metal medallion from his bosom, but he didn't know how to trigger the map inside.
"I'll try." Palsy took the medal from Zongchen's hand, spat on it, and wiped it with his dirty cuffs.
Suddenly, a three-dimensional map appeared from the medallion. Seeing this scene, the doubts in Zongchen's eyes as he looked at Palsi became more and more intense. The two of them have been together for six years, but they feel more and more strange to the current Palsi Zongchen.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Zongchen struggled for a long time, and finally asked this question.
Hearing Zongchen's question, Parti put down the can on the side of his mouth, lowered his head, and a trace of gloom suddenly flashed on his little face.
"Will you believe me?"
"As long as you're willing to say it." Zongchen's tone was very firm.
"I, like you, don't know who I am or where I come from. But since a long time ago, I've had a picture in my head. It's very vague, but I know it's my hometown. Strange to say, I had never considered going home before, but since I saw this metal medallion, a desire to go home suddenly sprung up in my heart, and it became more and more urgent. You may not believe it, but the first time I saw it, it felt very familiar, and there was a lot more in my head. At this point, Parcy looked very conflicted, as if he did not approve of the changes that had taken place in him.
"What does your hometown look like?" After listening to Palsi's explanation, Zongchen gradually breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although it all sounds bizarre, he chooses to trust Palcy. However, speaking of his hometown, Zongchen suddenly felt a little envious in his heart, he had struggled in the land of Shire for fourteen years, but he never had a memory of the time before he was four years old in his mind. Including where your hometown is and who your parents are.
"There are green grasslands, verdant mountains and rushing rivers." Elsie dragged his chin with both hands, a look of yearning.
Why not? Although Palsy's introduction was only a short sentence, it sparked an infinite reverie in his heart. These are legendary sights, and even the Gemu Pai can't have the luxury of creating green fields in the greenhouse of life, let alone the verdant mountains.
Except for the Slan Bazaar, the planet of Gliese is full of frozen lands. There is simply no way to have a rushing river.
"Hopefully you'll be able to come home one day." Zongchen touched Palsi's little head dotingly, and encouraged him warmly with a smile.
"When the time comes, will you come with me? Let's build a house on the grassland, sow and harvest like a Gemu pie, and make delicious hard bread with our own hands. Palsi's face was full of longing, even though the car was now stuffed with something better than hard bread. But hard bread has become a feeling, and even if you can eat meat and fruits that are usually out of reach in the future, the sweetness of that hard bread is an irreplaceable taste in memory.
And the most delicious thing about it is the taste of sharing. Since I met Zongchen, every time I used any means to get food, I always got a large part of it.
"Okay, let's go together." Palsi's wonderful vision also aroused the imagination in the hearts of the ministers. It would be nice if there was such a day.
Just when the two of them were planning the future with interest, they never thought that a black-pressed treasure hunting team had appeared not far behind them. Those who come with desire will devour the imaginary green steppe like locusts and destroy all good hopes.
"Strange, the map has changed." Elsie saw the map on the metal medallion tremble slightly, and the route on it was changing.
Zongchen turned his head and found that this was indeed the case. Not only does the map show a high mountain, but it also has a terrifying beast mark. In the memory of the minister, this beast did not exist. The beast had two sharp horns on its head, a white face, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and a pair of blood-red eyes.
"Elsie, take up arms. The road ahead of us may be getting worse and harder. Zongchen sighed, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.
If you want to get the treasure of the gods, it's not enough to get the map. Everything has a price, and on this brutal and chaotic planet of Gliese, it is far more important than rewarded.
The treasure hunt of the Gru Corps came with great ambitions, but it didn't go well. As he passed by a frozen lake, someone nervously fired a shot at the lake. The ice shattered extensively, and hundreds of people fell into the lake and died.
In the end, the enraged captain of the Gru Corps finally found out that the culprit was nothing more than an alcoholic bounty hunter. The reason he fired at the ice was simple, he just wanted to catch a fish or something.
As long as it wasn't for the spear of the First Emperor and the high-level leaders of the Datan Life Company, there would be absolutely no good fruit to eat if they annoyed the Gru Corps. The bounty hunter was torn into a dozen pieces and thrown into the frozen lake to feed the fish.
For this treasure hunt, Captain Rutak was the least interested general, but he was sent by Gesar as the leader of the team. Already resentful, coupled with a group of sparse bounty hunters and scavengers, after a few days of walking down one moth after another, Rutak's mind almost collapsed. If it weren't for Gesar's pressure, he would have burned these planetary garbage alive with oil bombs.
Comparatively speaking, the team of the Spear of the First Emperor behaved very calmly. It doesn't seem to be a treasure hunt at all, but a luxury sightseeing group. While Rutak was sulking in the military vehicle, Qin Yang, the leader of the Spear of the First Emperor, and Noor, the executive officer of the Datan Life Company, were in the luxurious carriage that was warm and could not feel any bumps, comfortably touching the crystal jewel wine glass.
After three rounds of drinking, Noel, who looked like a tanuki, looked drunk and began to count down the supreme boss Scarry.
"You know what? That abominable ball of flesh was arguing at me every day, and the stench coming out of its mouth almost tortured me to death. Sometimes, I would love to shove a desk into his mouth and shut him up forever. ”
"Come on, let's have a toast for Scarry to shut up." Qin Yang half-lay on the comfortable leather sofa and touched a glass with Noor.
"Lord Qin, is your life so comfortable?" Noel held the wine glass with a look of grievance, he had been nagging for so long, but Qin Yang had no reaction, which made him feel very unbalanced in his heart.
Hearing Noor's broken thoughts, a trace of imperceptible loneliness flashed in Qin Yang's eyes. But he didn't say anything, just drank one glass after another.
