Volume 4 The Rising Star of the Imperial Capital 22 The Wound of the Beast
It was already late at night when Xu Zheng rode back from Samuel Castle. When he climbed on Lulu's back, the hairball came out from under Lulu's neck, flew to Xu Zheng's head, lay on the top of Xu Zheng's head like a leather hat and played with Xu Zheng's hair, and then grabbed his hair and swayed it against the night breeze. This guy has been addicted to playing since he felt that Xu Zheng's black hair was smooth and shiny, and he would pull it from time to time. When he was crazy, he grabbed a few strands of hair and pulled it vigorously, which made his scalp hurt for a while, which made Xu Zheng feel an urge to grab it and beat it up many times.
flew to Xiacheng and approached the snack bar, after Maoqiu saw the lights and heard the human voice, he got into Xu Zheng's scalp and hid. Until now, it still doesn't want to see people, and only shows its traces in front of Lulu and Xu Zheng, except for a while ago, it is hiding well. Anyway, when Xu Zheng doesn't take care of it, Lulu will also take care of it, and when he eats something good, he will never be indispensable to it, and this little guy is very comfortable.
At this time, it was late at night, and the fireflies and the field were still brightly lit, and the business was too prosperous, making it rare for these two small shops to have a quiet time.
Xu Zheng landed in front of the firefly gate, and now Lulu's flying skills are getting more and more sophisticated, and when he lands, he is extremely light, and he almost can't feel the vibration at the moment of landing, so light that he doesn't alarm anyone.
Thinking that he hadn't alarmed anyone, the moment Xu Zheng slid off Lulu's back, he saw a person slowly coming out of the shadows under the firefly light and walking under the light.
"Uncle Xius?" Xu Zheng was surprised, "What are you doing here?" Why don't you go to the store and sit down? You can go and drink some wine or eat something in the fireflies in the wilderness. ”
Xiusi smiled faintly and said, "I'm waiting for you." ”
Normally, Xu Zheng may be careless, but at this time, Xius walked from the darkness to the light, and Xu Zheng clearly saw the expression on Xiusi's face that was mixed with loneliness, fatigue and sadness. Xu Zheng had never seen such an expression on Xiusi's face before. Uncle Hughes has always given people a tough feeling of perseverance and perseverance since the day they met, and he is an iron-clad man. At this time, Uncle Hughes stripped off the tough shell. The slightly rickety back looks like a wordless fragility. Xu Zheng couldn't help but be very worried, and said softly, "Uncle Xiusi." What's wrong? Are you alright?"
"It's fine. Huslala's coat wrapped himself tightly, and in the sweltering night, he made a gesture that looked cold.
Xu Zheng couldn't help but be more worried, and hurriedly approached Xiusi and said, "Is there anything uncomfortable in your body?" I'll sit down in the shop, and I'll pour me a drink. ”
"No need. Xiusi stopped Xu Zheng and said, "Remember what I said, on the day I was admitted to the animal trainer, did I have something to ask for?"
When Xu Zheng heard this, his heart was relieved and he breathed a sigh of relief. said: "This matter." If there's anything Uncle Theseus, just say it, and I'll do my best to do it for you. ”
Theseus nodded and said, "I know." With your nature, as long as there is something wrong with your friends. You won't sit idly by. It's just that this matter dragged on for too long, and I lost hope myself. But you were admitted to the Dark Gold Pattern Beast Envoy. Let me be desperate and give birth to a glimmer of hope, but I am afraid that I will not succeed, and I always suffer from gains and losses in my heart, lest I be disappointed again. I can't stop thinking about it like this. He smiled at Xu Zhengqiang and said, "Don't worry about me, I'm just in a bad mood." ”
What would make a person with a resolute character like Xiusi lose his mood? Xu Zheng became serious. "Whatever it is, please say it." If I can't do it, I'll go and beg Bruce and Uncle Dane, and with their abilities, everyone can help together, and it should be possible. ”
Xiusi looked at Xu Zheng fixedly and said, "Only you can help with this matter." ”
Xu Zheng was taken aback and said, "Please speak." ”
Hughes tugged at the hem of his shirt, wrapped himself tighter, and said, "Follow me." ”
Xius led Xu Zheng, and the two crossed the lower city to Xiusi's residence.
The first time he came to Xiusi's residence, Xu Zheng looked at the hut near the edge of the city with some curiosity. The hut was indeed small, about one-sixth the size of the field, with an extra stable, and the rest was the same. The hut was some distance away from the other residents, it seemed very quiet, Xius's wildebeest stayed quietly in the stable, felt Xius and Xu Zheng snort slightly when they walked by, snorted a few times, and after feeling the breath of Xiusi and the breath of a high-ranking animal trainer on Xu Zheng's body, he calmed down and continued to sleep quietly.
Follow Xiusi into the house, and the situation in the room is as chaotic as Xu Zheng imagined. This is exactly what a single man's living place looks like.
After entering the house, Xiusi obviously behaved a little out of proportion, and didn't even mean to ask Xu Zheng to sit, hurriedly walked into the back room, and after a while, he cautiously came out with something about the size of two blue balls combined.
"Ahh "Hughes said. Kicked away the debris on the ground with a wave of his foot, and cleared out that the two of them could come out in a human position, and sat directly on the ground.
Xu Zheng is also an informal person, and he followed Xiusi and sat on the ground. When Xiusi carefully put the things in his arms on the ground as if he were dealing with fragile objects, Xu Zheng saw clearly that what Xiusi was holding was a mass of objects wrapped in fine velvet.
"What is it?" Xu Zheng asked curiously. It must be a very important thing to be treated with such care, and to be wrapped in velvet and carefully protected.
Xius stretched out his hand and gently untied the velvet, a reminiscing expression appeared on his face, like joy and sadness, the cold and hard lines on his face softened, and he said softly: "It's my Warcraft companion, Tina." ”
Warcraft, partners, and Warcraft wrapped in velvet, Xu Zheng was puzzled.
The mystery is revealed as the velvet quilt is solved with gentle movements.
A large egg is wrapped in velvet and has an oval shape, not with a round end and a pointed end like ordinary eggs, but both ends are pointy and symmetrical. The whole egg-shaped thing is brownish yellow, and the surface gives people a stony feeling, and there are many dark yellow and light yellow patches all over it, which looks very ancient and mysterious. The egg-shaped thing looks smooth, but I don't know if it's because it's been left for too long, or whatever, it doesn't have any luster, it has a gray and dull color, it doesn't seem lifeless, and it doesn't feel very good.
Although it was the first time he saw it, Xu Zheng was immediately sure that the thing in front of him was 100% a monster egg that had not yet hatched. But why eggs?
Xu Zheng looked like Xiusi, hugged it carefully, felt very heavy, and asked, "This is your Warcraft companion, well, Tina? Tina is a name, right? ”
Theseus nodded and said, "Not exactly. This is Tina's egg. ”
"Warcraft eggs, what kind of Warcraft is Tina, and Tina hatches from eggs. Lulu is not, he was born directly by Yihu Niang. ”
Xius shook his head: "Tina is a thunder lightning leopard, not hatched from a demonic beast egg. She is also viviparous. Generally speaking, most of this kind of magical beasts, which are known for their agility, are viviparous. The vast majority of reptilian monsters are egg-born, such as York's flaming lizard. ”
What is this egg? Listening to Hughes's tone, this Warcraft companion seems to have been with him for a long time, and even his name is so intimate and catchy, just listening to it can feel that deep feeling, and the time of companionship must be not short. But how could it be an egg? Shouldn't it be a lively and vivid magical beast? Xu Zheng was completely confused.
Looking blankly at the monster egg on the ground, Xu Zheng stroked its surface with his hand and looked at Xiusi with puzzled eyes.
Hughes opened his mouth, but nothing could be said. Reaching out to the sundries on the ground for a while, he took out a bottle of Yubing Shochu, pulled out the stopper, poured a sip, and handed the bottle to Xu Zheng.
Xu Zheng doesn't like to drink, especially this kind of spirit. But seeing Xiusi's expression, the meaning of sadness and disappointment became more and more obvious, and it couldn't be hidden on his face, making Xiusi's face look much older, Xu Zheng couldn't help but be more worried, hesitantly took the bottle and took a sip, shaking his head with spicy.
Xius looked at it with hazy eyes, and there was an indescribable dull pain in his eyes. I didn't know how to comfort such an Uncle Xiusi, Xu Zheng had to take another sip of it, he still remembered that Tie Hu said in his previous life: Sometimes, the best way to comfort a friend is to drink with him.
Hughes took the bottle and took another sip, not because of the rush of wine, but for some other reason, and his eyes suddenly turned red. With a long exhale, Theseus said, "There's a story, do you want to hear it?"
Xu Zheng had already vaguely guessed that this was Xiusi's own story, and the ending was definitely not good. He was silent for the moment, and nodded slightly.
