CHAPTER XXVIII
The hunter's instinct wakes him up before dawn.
Looking into the distance, the night watchman was replaced by another, and the others were still asleep.
Upon waking up, the hunter decided not to hesitate any longer.
"It's now. ”
The hunter said a silent word in his heart, and then drew the longbow in his hand. I don't know if it was too much force or too nervous, but the hunter's hand holding the bow trembled a little.
The hunter closed his eyes and took a deep breath, but the trembling in his hands intensified.
Eventually, the hunter lowered his bow with some despair in his eyes.
————
I didn't expect to see Mingyue Creek in this place again.
Invite Yue Mountain is very high, and Mingyue Creek wraps around its foot before disappearing from view. Canglan originally thought that this was another river, but Cui Lun told it that this one was Mingyue Creek, and because of the topography, it made a big circle before it flowed to the position of the fierce battle with Shi Kui.
Compared to the previous mountains, Mount Yingyue is higher and steeper. According to Cui Lun, there is a huge natural cave on Invite Moon Mountain, which is where the empty mercy team is stationed.
"It really works to be sent here. "The mountain is steep, and it will take you a lot of time to go back and forth." ”
Sha Feiyu said, "It's okay, just get to know the other people in your team and make friends." ”
"They're not very hospitable. ”
Kong Lian didn't seem to want everyone to accompany her, and insisted on going back alone.
"What if they're not there?" Sha Feiyu asked.
"No, they won't be leaving for a while. "I'm really sorry, although I want to invite you to go up and sit, but the rest of the team doesn't like outsiders, so they chose such a remote place as a base." ”
Kong Lian said so, Sha Feiyu no longer insisted, and said goodbye to Kong Lian simply, watching Kong Lian go away step by step.
"That's not what I wanted. Sha Feiyu looked at everyone with a tangled expression.
"Then what do you want, let's go, we'll go back too. Cui Lun said as he turned and walked back.
Sha Feiyu also hurriedly followed, "At least I have to have a drink with my friends and make friends." ”
"Anyway, our original goal was to send the empty mercy back, and now the goal has been achieved. ”
The end of this trip was indeed a bit hasty, and everyone didn't even see a single companion. However, as Cui Lun said, they were originally there to send the empty mercy back, and now that the matter has been successfully completed, there is nothing to regret.
The way back was the way we came, and everyone was very careful and did not encounter any obstacles.
Sha Feiyu was very arrogant, and soon forgot about the previous unpleasantness, and began to chatter again along the way, talking about various things about him as a mercenary. He always said that he had been on many teams and places, but he was silent about the details of those teams.
It took a total of six days to return to the New Moon Transit Station.
These days, Canglan makes weapons out of cold iron every night and stores them in Sha Feiyu's storage bag, because Canglan reduces the consumption of mana in the process of forging swords, so he can forge more weapons every day. By the time of the New Moon Transit Station, the number of weapons accumulated by Canglan had reached fifteen, and if they were all successfully sold, the problem of funds could be solved.
More than half a month has passed back and forth, and the transfer station has not changed much.
Fixed stalls, fixed vendors, and fixed goods, the only difference is the constant alternation of customers.
Entering the transfer station, construction has begun on a vacant lot on the right-hand side, but the shape is not yet visible. There seemed to be more soldiers on patrol, and there were a few more tents in the distance. Several people were drunk and in the city, and they were taken by the guards to where they were not known.
Canglan walked along the main road, and soon saw the previous boss again, his goods were no longer left, and it seemed that he had not replenished for a long time. Canglan was about to go over to greet him, and Sha Feiyu had already walked in front.
"Brother, business is not bad. ”
"Business is good, everything is almost sold out. The boss first smiled, and then became a little puzzled, "Also, why have you been there for so long this time." ”
"Something happened. Sha Feiyu scratched his head and smirked.
"Where's Lun'er?"
The boss looked around, and when he saw Cui Lun, he smiled again.
"Dad, I'm fine. ”
Ripple lightly touched Canglan, "This is too coincidental." ”
Canglan smiled, it was indeed too coincidental.
Sha Feiyu pulled Canglan over and was about to introduce him to the boss, but when the boss said that it happened that day, Sha Feiyu was also stunned, and then laughed.
"This is fate!"
After that, Sha Feiyu took out a lot of things from the storage bag: not only several water rocks, but also the Flame Leaf Grass and other rare materials that the apothecary needed to participate in the Yao Ling Festival.
These things were put out, and many people gathered around and directly began to bargain.
Sha Feiyu fights violently, and he also has a set of business. But after a while, most of the things brought back were already sold. These things are like this, the hot ones will be sold out in a short time, and the remaining things will depend on fate, but the New Moon transit station has slowly been on the right track, and there are more people coming and going, and the goods can naturally be sold.
In the evening, Sha Feiyu took a few people to a tavern, which was not a big place, but it was crowded with a lot of people. There are not many taverns in the transit station, and the few taverns are doing very well, and most of the guests are adventurers returning from the Bright Moon Valley, whether they are happy or unhappy, and after a hangover, it is a new day.
Sha Feiyu talked to himself, drank a few glasses of wine in a row, and when he saw that no one paid attention to him, he ran to another table with a wine glass and drank with the others.
The taste of the wine was really good, but Canglan didn't drink much, he didn't like the feeling of being drunk. But the ripples drank unconsciously and their faces were flushed. Probably due to the influence of the atmosphere, Cui Lun also showed an abnormal smile.
Cui Lun asked, "Are you guys getting out of here?"
"It should be just these days, and there is still a lot of material to collect. ”
Cui Lun picked up the wine glass and shook it, "In a few days, I will also embark on the road of adventure." ”
When he said this, Cui Lun took a sip of wine, and the joy on his face was a little heavier.
"Will you participate in the Yao Ling Festival?" Canglan asked.
"If time comes, I'll go. ”
"Why do you say that?"
There was still some left in the wine glass, and Cui Lun drank it all, "Money, we owe a lot of money." ”
Everyone has their own story, and Cui Lun is no exception.
Cui Lun is not a single seedling, he has an older brother. But his brother didn't do his job all day, he was addicted to gambling, he owed a large debt, and finally committed suicide by jumping into the river, and death could only free him alone, and the huge debt he left behind had to be repaid by Cui Lun and the father of the green wolf.
"That's why my uncle came back. ”
"Didn't you say that Uncle Sha was driven back?"
At that time, he was indeed kicked out of the original team. Cui Lun smiled bitterly, "I heard my father say that my uncle started to be a mercenary before I was born, but it didn't go well, you have also seen his reckless appearance, and he can say whatever he wants, and he won't stay in any team for long." A year ago, he came back and stayed here after learning about the family. ”
If he knew that his nephew said this about him, Sha Feiyu would definitely have to talk at length again. But at this time, Sha Feiyu was drinking happily with others, and he didn't hear Cui Lun's words at all.
Cui Lun was slightly drunk, "But it's okay now, when this batch of goods is sold, we can settle all the debts." ”
"Then why do you say you don't have enough time?"
"My father was injured in his early years and couldn't do heavy work, so I had to buy a shop in Luoyang Town and settle him before I could leave. ”
The son's sense of responsibility to his father, in fact, he doesn't understand, he doesn't know who his father is, and he doesn't know if he is still alive.
Cui Lun poured another glass of wine, "Don't talk about this." Canglan you want to sell your weapons, right, tomorrow at my father's stall. ”
After that, Cui Lun and Canglan talked a lot, and Cui Lun drank more and more, and the topic gradually returned to the issue of debt. Cui Lun's mood gradually became sluggish again.
Cui Lun's brother was not a loser at first, and the cause of everything was Cui Lun's magic. Cui Lun's magic began to show his unanimous attention, and he even took him up to the mountains to hunt when he was a few years old. Cui Lun's brother was like a hunter since he was a child, but no one paid attention to him, he was very frustrated, and eventually embarked on the gambling routine, hoping to make a fortune and impress his family.
Cui Lun always felt that he indirectly caused his brother's death, and he always felt guilty.
It was late at night, Sha Feiyu was already drunk, Cui Lun could only support him, Ripple because he drank too much, he hugged Canglan and refused to let go, so the four of them returned to the house Cui Lun rented for his father together.
The room is not big, but it is much better than sleeping in the wild, and Cui Lun also slept after settling in Sha Feiyu. Although Ripple has fallen asleep, he is still holding on to the vicissitudes.
Canglan was a little drunk, but he didn't have the heart to sleep, he suddenly thought of a sentence written by Fengchen.
"Obviously there are still a few days left on the day of parting, but the sadness has come early. ”
It's another parting, and Canglan seems to have discovered the meaning of travel, which is parting.
In just a few months, from the Zhuling Mountains, to the Cape of the Sea, then to the Royal City, and now to the Bright Moon Valley, he has already parted too many people. Canglan originally thought that he would be numb if he experienced too much of a thing, but parting didn't seem to be among them.
Again and again, the sadness of parting became stronger and stronger.
Unlike what happened in Wangcheng, Cui Lun and Sha Feiyu are good people. Even if you are in debt, you will spend a lot of time helping strangers.
Maybe it was a dream of something, and Ripples hugged harder.
The girl was the only one who was always with him, and what would happen if she left one day? But no matter what, they would always be separated.
Maybe the ripples are tired one day, maybe they are annoyed one day.
Canglan no longer thought about it, and the residual alcohol accompanied him to sleep.
