Chapter 473: The Meaning of Guardianship
Qing'er pouted, "Actually, it's also from our tribe." But all along, in our tribe, it is divided into three classes, and the classification where my brother is located is precisely the third class. This is not to say that there is a problem with his qualifications or morals, but because he is a child born out of wedlock. ”
"When his mother was young, she was also from a first-class family. It is even said that his father is also from a first-class family. The two of them were childhood sweethearts, and when they first fell in love, they were interested in each other, and when they reached the age of talking about marriage, both families also had this idea. ”
"However, probably because the feelings are in place, the woman is pregnant. Pregnancy before marriage is a top taboo in the tribe. The families of both parties involved must be demoted to the third class. The two families are facing an unprecedented crisis, and at this time, the woman decisively decided not to admit that the child belonged to the man. ”
Unexpectedly, in order to preserve his status, the man did not stand up. In this way, only the woman was demoted and the man retained his position. But what is unexpected is that after the child was born, the man did not say anything at all, as if the child was not theirs at all, and completely cut off contact with the woman. ”
This makes life even more difficult for the woman. Therefore, although my brother is talented and intelligent, he has lived a very hard life since he was a child, and he is working when we are playing. ”
"My brother is actually a few years older than me. He was the only one who took care of me when I was hurting. Strictly speaking, a third-class person cannot take care of a first-class person. But at that time the tribe was facing a serious crisis, and no one cared about this anymore. In fact, as you can imagine, when I was the most dangerous and difficult, I had an older brother with me, how could I not be tempted. ”
"Actually, my brother likes me too. He once said that he hated the hierarchical system of the tribe. He said that people are equal, and love is even more so. He said he would marry me when I grew up. ”
"Unexpectedly, after being busy for a while, my father found out that the relationship between me and my brother was not normal, and forcibly stipulated that my brother was not allowed to see me again. I cried with him, and he locked me up too. In order to save me, my brother forcibly picked the lock, but he caught him. ”
"I don't know what my father thought, but when the tribe was most lacking, he called a meeting and drove my brother away. Their reason was that the elder brother ignored the rules, challenged the rules of the clan, and as a third-class person, he did not follow the teachings. ”
"I cried for several days, and then I cried so faint that it was like I wasn't mine anymore. Suddenly, one day, while my father was away, I left, and I was going to find my brother. I don't know where I went then, but I was sad anyway, so I just left. By the time I came to my senses, I couldn't find my way home. After that, I had to go and walk until I met you. ”
Speaking of this, Qing'er was sad. "I don't know, how is my brother now. ”
"Jiren has their own destiny, maybe you will be reunited one day. Ding Qin didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only say it casually.
Unexpectedly, Qing'er's expression was even more lonely, "One day? What if, we are both old? Two people with gray hair and wrinkled faces? The best youth in their lives is passing away in waiting, so is there any point in finally being together?"
Ding Qin couldn't answer this question, and Cheng Ying couldn't answer either. even said that it hit the sore spot of the adult warbler.
What Cheng Ying thinks now is that she will be satisfied if she can go through a journey with Ding Qin like this. She knew that she liked Ding Qin now, but she also knew that the possibility of Ding Qin accepting her was very small. Therefore, she doesn't want to spend this life together, she just wants to accompany Ding Qin for more walks.
However, what Qing'er said is exactly the opposite.
Whether it is a good death or a memory, there will always be regrets. Moreover, this regret, from the current point of view, both people must face it, and it cannot be solved.
After walking about a mile or two, Qing'er stopped and said to a cave, "It's here." This is the vein we are guarding. ”
"It's so strong. Ding Qin blurted out.
Qing'er and Chengying both showed extreme surprise, "What energy? What are you talking about?"
Ding Qin said, "A special energy. You can't feel it?"
Qing'er shook her head, "Never." All I know is that the tribe says that this place, this vein is very special, and it is one of the meanings of our tribe's existence. ”
Ding Qin nodded and carefully observed the entrance of the cave. Apparently, the entrance to the cave had been fought, half of it had collapsed, and it had not been repaired. From the entrance of the cave, there is a passage, and because of the falling rocks, I don't know if it can be passed.
"Can we go in and have a look?"
Qing'er said, "Since the accident, this is not a forbidden place for the tribe. Let's go, I'll take you inside. ”
The channel stretched inward for four or five hundred meters, and then a river appeared. On the other side of the river, there was a sandy beach with a silver glitter, illuminating the cave.
"In the past, there were a lot of egg-sized rocks on this beach, which were brighter. But now, the stones seem to be broken. Behind the sand, you can see where the vein is exposed. It used to be golden and yellow, but now it has become a gray color. ”
Ding Qin swept across the river and landed on the beach. The beach is unusually warm, which may also be the reason why the mountain is not plagued by snow and ice.
Walking twenty or thirty meters further on the rock wall, Ding Qin saw the gray vein. He touched it with his hand and confirmed that the energy was coming from it.
All of a sudden, a series of information flooded into my mind. He reached out and broke a few pieces from it, placing them in his Lenna Stone belt.
"Zeus source gold. When Ding Qin came back, he said, "This is the Zhouyuan gold vein. ”
"What's that?" Qing'er now shows more curiosity as she has been living here and doesn't know anything about it.
"Zhouyuan gold is a special vein, and it is also one of the very few veins in the world. However, since it is meaningless for any smelting, the Celestial Source Gold is not a rare material, and even if someone sells it, no one buys it. Its sole function is to provide energy. Ding Qin recounted what was in his head, although he didn't know who told him it.
"The energy it provides is enough for all kinds of large enchantments or formations to run for thousands of years. Therefore, the place where there is Zeo Yuan Gold has become a must for large forces. Because once you have such a vein, you can build a strong defense, thus creating an unbreakable city, or even an immortal empire. ”
Ding Qin sighed when he said this, "It's a pity that it is precisely because of this effect that every city that really has the source gold of the universe will not last long." Before they could establish a full-fledged defense, they might have been defeated by a much stronger force. And there may be only one reason why this vein appears here. ”
Ding Qin looked at Qing'er and Chengying, "Provide running energy for the enchantment of the island in the middle of the lake." As long as the Celestial Gold is there, the enchantment can operate normally. Therefore, if the wicked person wants to take away the spirit stone under the death platform, not only because your golden spirit pagoda and spirit stone are going to be destroyed, but this Tianyuan gold vein alone is enough for him to create this disaster for your tribe. ”
Qing'er muttered, "I see. I don't know if they know it or not, father. ”
Ding Qin said, "Your father should know." This may also be a secret that is not spreading. In addition, once the energy of the Celestial Source Gold is exhausted like it is now, it will become another kind of thing, called the Celestial Origin Ash. Because the energy of the Zhouyuan gold vein is extremely abundant, it is difficult to form the Zhouyuan ash unless there is an external force to enter it. Therefore, the Celestial Source Ash is a precious material, priceless in the market, and used as a special smelter to create divine weapons. ”
"Then isn't the tribe ...... now" Qing'er's eyes showed a slight excitement, "Isn't there the capital that can be traded with the outside world and slowly revitalized?"
Ding Qin shook his head, "No, you're wrong. So much Celestial Origin Ash will only make the greedy swarm in. There is a new danger for your tribe. So, in retrospect, I would suggest that your dad give up this place and don't repair it again. ”
Qing'er's face was lonely again, "Isn't that it, will you leave your hometown?"
Ding Qin said thoughtfully, "If you want to survive, leaving your hometown is also the only choice." ”
Qing'er didn't speak again. By the time a few people returned, the tribe had basically prepared their meals. Since it is not easy for plants to grow here, there are no dishes on the table, but there are several kinds of fish and meat.
Ding Qin just wanted to talk to Du Zhong about the ore vein, but Du Zhong took the initiative to speak, "What you want to say and ask, after dinner, we will go to the secret room to talk." Although there are no outsiders here, there are some things that it is not good for too many people to know. ”
Ding Qin nodded, sat down and ate some. The others were also mostly absent-minded, so the feast ended quickly.
After the meal, Du Zhong said to Ding Qin, "You come with me." Patriarch Dong, and Ruan Xian's nephew, you two should come too. ”
The nephew of Ruan Xian in his mouth is actually the son of the patriarch of the tribe. Because there are regulations in the construction of the tribe, the head of the clan must be over forty years old, he is not old enough, and there is no suitable candidate in the tribe now, so he can only wait a few years before taking office.
The secret room is not far from the dining room. After entering, Du Zhong closed the door, "Presumably, Qing'er has taken you to see our ore veins." ”
Ding Qin nodded, "Go." If I'm not mistaken, it's Zeyuan Gold. ”
Du Zhong's face changed, "You actually know? This is a secret that our tribe does not pass on." Where did you get the news?"
Ding Qin said, "I don't know. I have amnesia and don't know who told me. However, when I saw the source of gold, I figured out the matter of the island in the middle of the lake and the enchantment. ”
"Tell me about it. With a surprised expression, Du Zhong waited for Ding Qin's next words.
