Chapter 143: Couples
Time flies.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
It was only when I went deeper into the southern countries that I felt the tension brought about by the war.
Large quantities of supplies were being transported from the heartland of the South to the border.
Now, the Night Ice Country and the Southern States have invested hundreds of thousands of troops in the Ice Country City, and they are in a stalemate.
The Elven Empire has always been eyeing the nine major human empires, but now both the Southern Kingdoms and the Ice Empire have put the safety of the human race in the hands of the Xiyan Empire.
Ah Gu always felt that the Xiyan Empire's gang of goggles were unreliable.
However, the life or death of humans and elves has nothing to do with him.
Southbound, and still going.
"See the river, see the river!" the goblin called excitedly.
Nicole also clapped her hands and laughed happily, looking very happy.
"I don't understand what you think! Isn't it just a river? You've lived a long time, you haven't seen anything, is it necessary?" said Agu.
The little goblin knocked on Ah Gu's skull fiercely: "Do you know that water is the source of life......
"I'm dead, so I don't need to talk about it!, and where are we going to find the boat?" said Aku, who was bored.
"There are a lot of boats at the ferry!" said the leprechaun.
After another half hour, the group finally arrived at the river.
Although the little goblin kept saying how big the river was, when Ah Gu really saw it with his own eyes, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him.
The widest basin is tens of kilometers long and hundreds of meters deep, and rumors of water monsters can often be heard.
Of course, there are also rumors of treasures, and in many legends, the heroic emperor built his tomb underwater after his death.
At this time, the little goblin looked at Ah Gu with very expectant eyes.
Ah Gu had an ominous premonition.
"Ah Gu, this section of the river is the deepest part of the Lu River, and it is also the place with the most legends, guess what's underwater?" the little goblin asked.
"I don't guess, I don't want to know, it's not a good thing anyway! I'm telling you, let's just take a boat tomorrow and leave, don't mess with me!" Ah Gu said.
"You're not curious, but am I? Am Nicole curious?" asked the leprechaun.
"Curious, curious!" Nicole cried out, clapping her hands.
"Then you two should slowly become curious!" The uneasiness in Ah Gu's heart grew bigger and bigger.
The little goblin hugged Ah Gu's arm: "Then you can satisfy people's curiosity! Not only me, but Nicole is also curious!"
Ah Gu pinched the little goblin's wings: "Don't use Nicole as a shield, tell me honestly what plot you have, or I'll stew you in a while!"
The little goblin pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Threaten me with this trick, do you think it will work for me every time?"
When the two were arguing, Nicole broke free from Ah Gu's embrace, ran to the river, picked up a pale yellow translucent pebble, and then rushed back to Ah Gu's side, and put the "gem" in Ah Gu's hand like a merit.
Ah Gu didn't care, there are a lot of them on this kind of stone river beach, and it's nothing to pick up a piece.
It was getting dark.
It was not only Ah Gu's group who remained by the river, but also a young couple.
He looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a happy smile on his face.
"I guess it's a newlywed couple!" said the goblin.
"How can you tell they're married?" asked Akuru in a low voice.
The little goblin showed a haughty smile: "Don't underestimate the elderly...... Phew...... Don't underestimate the eyes of adults, I can tell at a glance whether a teenager or a girl is a chick or not!"
Ah Gu was suddenly shocked: "What do you think? Teach me!"
The little goblin asked suspiciously: "You don't look for a wife, why are you learning this thing?
"I'm afraid that Ni Ke will be deceived by a scumbag!"
"That's more than a decade later!" said the leprechaun.
The couple was about to kiss each other when Nicole called, "Scumbag!
"Poof!" x4!
The leprechaun, the bone, the couple squirted out at the same time.
The distance between the two sides was not far, and the young man looked at Ah Gu with a little embarrassment on his face.
Ah Gu hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, my daughter is talking nonsense!"
How can a child who is not taught by you adults say such a thing?
The young man thought to himself.
But he still had a smile on his face: "Don't care! Don't care! You also want to cross the river?"
Just when the couple found Ah Gu, the goblin had already hid under Ah Gu's cloak.
"Well, there should be a ship tomorrow!" asked Aku.
"There must be a boat!" the young man said, "By the way, my name is Matt, and this is my ......."
At this point, Matt's words paused, but Ah Gu saw that the girl's eyes were full of love as she looked at the young man.
"This is my wife, Mary!" said Matt.
A girl named Mary hugged her husband's arm and showed her affection alive!
At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled, and it should be on the big river, which is very beautiful.
A few waterfowl are flying in mid-air, swimming freely.
"When will we be as free as these birds!" Matt whispered.
Mary comforted softly: "Someday!"
After a lot of remembrance, Matt began to cook, and Mary tried to help, but she looked clumsy and ended up sitting on a stone next to her.
"This girl must be the daughter of a big ......family! Did you notice, reach out!" The leprechaun observed the couple through the cracks in their cloaks.
Ah Gu nodded slightly, there should already be a class, although it is only the first class, it is more than enough for self-preservation.
"Dinner, let's eat fish!" Ah Gu whispered.
Catching fish was already easy for him, and he soon caught a few fat sea bass.
Ah Gu's side is almost ready, but the young man has encountered a problem, there is no firewood to burn nearby, it is too damp.
Matt's face was slightly embarrassed.
Although they had brought some dry food, he didn't want Mary to follow him to nibble on the cold stuff.
"If you don't mind, come over to us!" Ah Gu laughed.
Matt looked up and saw a basketball-sized fireball levitating in midair.
"It's ...... It's magic! You're a magician!" called Mary.
For ordinary people, magic is magical and very mysterious existence.
Ah Gu nodded: "I don't think you are an ordinary little couple, if my guess is right, you eloped!"
Mary and Matt's faces turned red suddenly, especially Mary, who lowered her head and looked twisted.
"It's good to be young!" Ah Gu said, and continued to work.
Matt came over to help, cleaned up a few fish, and set them up on the fire to roast.
"By the way, we don't know your name yet?" asked Matt.
"Bone!"
"This is your daughter, so cute!" Mary reached out and gently stroked Nicole's hair, "Why didn't you see your wife!"
Ah Gu stopped the movements of his hand and said in a very dull tone: "I don't want to answer this question!"
Mary thought she had asked something she shouldn't have asked and hurriedly apologized.
"Actually, we'll wait for tomorrow's ship to arrive, and we'll fly away. Not coming back!" Matt hurriedly changed the subject.
Ah Gu was silent for a moment and asked, "Aren't you afraid that your parents will worry?"
Matt smiled bitterly and said slowly: "I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I have never seen what my parents are like, as for Mary......"
Mary whispered, "My mother died when I was very young, and later my father took another wife...... Well, how can I say it! I can't say anything bad about me, but that kind of goodness makes me feel like I'm an outsider, not in my own home! As for my father, he used me as a bargaining chip for his profits! That's why I escaped with Matt, and I don't want to live my life in a mess!"
"It seems that it is not easy for you two to be a little one!" Ah Gu said with a sigh.
In a short time, the fish was already grilled!
"Okay, okay, don't think about those unhappy things, let's eat!" said Agu.
The three of them ate together, and for some reason, the atmosphere was a little heavy.
After eating, Matt wanted to find something to talk about and ease the atmosphere, but suddenly Ah Gu listened intently.
Whispered, "Listen, what's the sound?"
Matt was stunned for a moment, closed his eyes and left only the sound of the wind except for the sound of the waves crashing on the shore.
"Nothing...... Something special!" Matt asked, confused.
Ah Gu said again: "No, listen carefully, it seems that someone is singing!"
Matt closed his eyes again and listened.
Mary didn't know what was going on, but she held her breath and looked at Bone and her husband with a puzzled face.
After the bones were broken, Matt faintly heard in the night wind as if there was a girl singing in the night, and most importantly, this song actually came from the center of the river.
If the song comes from the shore, it is easy to understand, there should be someone who accidentally stops on the shore with them, and it is normal for people to be in a good mood and sing.
But the song comes from the center of the river, and that's telling.
When Mary saw her husband's ugly face, a trace of fear rose in her heart: "Something's happened, Matt!"
Matt reluctantly smiled: "It's okay!"
But his face is definitely not fine.
Matt reached out and took a short sword from his baggage and placed it in Mary's hand.
"Stand back!" Bone held out his hand, a fireball appearing from his fingertips, and threw it towards the center of the river.
The fireball flew hundreds of meters before it went out.
At the moment when the fireball was extinguished, Matt, Ah Gu, and the little goblin hiding under Ah Bone's cloak all clearly saw that there was a woman in white who was standing on the river.
No, it can't be said to be standing, her lower body is soaked in the icy river water, her hair is scattered, and her face is split, and she can't see her clearly.
But one thing is for sure, the people standing there are definitely not people!
"Hey, you kind, go say hello!" said the leprechaun.
"Get out!"
