Episode 19 Entering the town for the first time

In the next few days, with the help of artificial intelligence, Lin Da kept chatting with Shen Bing, learning from her about the various situations in the Terran Continent and Gui Kingdom, and Lin Da also introduced the various equipment in the "Hope" to Shen Bing one by one. Seeing all kinds of sophisticated instruments and camera screens that could see the outside situation, Shen Bing was even more excited, touching this and that from time to time, pulling Lin Da to ask.www.biquge.info And when she knew that everything on the "Hope" was not a cultivator's magic weapon, but an artificially made machine, she was even more amazed by Linda and the "clansmen" behind him.

As the artificial intelligence said, the girl's language is indeed very familiar with a certain dialect on the earth, and Linda can even have a simple conversation with the girl after a few days of practice, this kind of communication that does not need to be translated by artificial intelligence has narrowed the distance between the two even more, and they have nothing to talk about at once.

For more than a week, under the guidance of Shen Bing, Linda drove the "Hope" in the general direction of Guiguo. After continuing to sail for nearly 2,000 kilometers, Linda finally discovered the land ahead through the radar on the "Hope". He looked through his periscope and saw that the coastline representing the land in the distance was stretching along the line between the sea and the sky on both sides, and not far from the coast, several fishing boats in the shape of sailboats were fishing on the sea.

Of course, Linda did not rush to float his "Hope" and stepped forward to greet the people on the fishing boat. He would never expose himself until he understood the customs and rules of the human beings here. So under the guidance of Shen Bing, the "Hope" continued to sail south along the coastline, and after a half-day voyage, it came to the mouth of a huge river.

"This is Xiahe Bay, the mouth of the Xihe River, the largest river in our country, along the river more than 1,000 kilometers upstream, you can reach the capital of Gui Xiangcheng. The girl looked at the screen and excitedly explained to Linda.

Linda nodded, and did not intend to stop here, but continued to sail south along the coastline for some distance, entering a small river bay, which was the easternmost point of the kingdom of Gui. I saw a small castle-like town on a flat plateau by the bend. From the sea from a distance, all kinds of buildings in the small city stand up, the small city is backed by a mountain ridge with a low altitude but extraordinary momentum, the mountain is covered with clouds and mist, it seems quite fairy, this city is Shen Bing's hometown, Dayu County.

According to Shen Bing's instructions, Lin Da found a hidden mangrove forest near Xiaoyu County and moored the "Hope". Before going ashore, Lin Da explained to Shen Bing very seriously: "Miss Shen, we will go to your house now." But remember, don't tell anyone about the ship's existence, okay?"

The girl looked at Lin Da's solemn eyes and said with great certainty: "Brother Lin, don't worry, Bing'er is a person who knows how to measure, and I will definitely remember your instructions." ”

Linda nodded, he didn't want to expose such a conspicuous and important thing as the "Hope" to strangers and cause unnecessary trouble. In order to maintain contact with the Hope, Lynda also carries a radio-like device, which is equipped with a camera and a voice recorder to maintain contact with the artificial intelligence Kelly at a certain distance.

After getting ready, Linda took Shen Bing out of the "Hope" and finally landed on land after paddling through the dense mangrove forest in an inflatable boat. With a hint of uneasiness and excitement, Lin Da followed Shen Bing and hurried towards Xiaoyu County.

Xiaoyu County, more than ten miles away, has a population of only forty or fifty thousand people. It is more appropriate to say that this is a county seat than a fortress, because the city is surrounded by a stone wall up to 10 meters high, which encloses the entire county seat, and there is only one gate in each of the four directions, south, south, and north, and each gate is guarded by armed guards at the exit of each gate.

At this time, in the most conspicuous courtyard somewhere in the center of the county, several people who pretended to be decent were gathering in the council hall, discussing something with an uneasy expression.

One of them, a tall, stout young man with dark skin, sighed incessantly: "Alas, what should I do, it's been nearly a month, why is there still no news from Miss!"

A black-robed man in his 40s next to him said with an anxious face: "In the past few days, we have asked the militia to search around the perimeter, but we have not found anything. ”

"I don't know if Miss is in danger, if she is caught by those demon beasts......" A woman on the side just said the word "demon beast", and heard a "bang", it was actually a teacup in the hand of a white-haired old man in his 60s on the main seat who fell to the ground, and immediately fell to pieces, seeing this scene, the woman quickly closed her mouth.

The old man didn't say anything, but looked out the door with a melancholy expression.

"Alas, it's all my fault, I didn't let people follow her... If there is a three-long and two-short... Alas..."The old man was silent for a moment and sighed deeply.

"County magistrate, you don't have to worry too much, some time ago, the demon beasts near Xiaoyu County have been completely cleared by the escort team led by Shen Hao Immortal Master, not to mention the demon beasts, even if they are a more dangerous beast, there will be no them, and the young lady will never be captured by the demon beasts. Another middle-aged man in blue beside the white-haired old man hurriedly persuaded.

"Yes, the Great Elder doesn't have to worry, Sister-in-law Gu just said casually, Miss Fu has a great life, and it will be fine. A white-robed middle-aged scholar on the side hurriedly comforted.

"Yes, not to mention that it's not the season for demon beasts to break out, so it's impossible for demon beasts to appear here. The young man chimed in.

"I'm not worried about monsters, I'm worried about other dangers. A trace of worry flashed on the old man's face, and he said, "A month ago, villagers fishing in the open sea reported that they found a boat of unknown origin more than ten miles away from the village......

"What's so strange about this, our village is so close to Xiahe Bay, and there are so many ships coming and going, what's so strange about a boat appearing. The young man was unimpressed.

"But, according to the villagers' reports, the boat is probably not an ordinary boat. ”

"An unusual boat?" asked the young man, puzzled, and the others stared at the old man strangely.

"According to the villagers' descriptions, the boat... I'm afraid it's a pirate ship from the southern Kopo country..."The old man sighed deeply and said melancholy.

"What! pirate ship!" the young man said in shock when he heard this, "Lord County, you mean that the young lady may be taken captive by the pirate ship!"

"How is it possible, how dare the pirate ships of Ransho Island come to the borders of our Gui Kingdom! Aren't they afraid of the extermination of our monks' army?" asked the young man in a loud voice.

"Army?hehe, Brother Wang, you don't know that now our army of monks is fighting fiercely on the border with the Yue Kingdom, and almost all the troops in the country have been drawn to the front line, and even the mortal guards from all over the country have been drawn to join the logistics army. We have no resources here, and we don't have any prominent scholars, so we don't have any value in the eyes of those cultivators, so we won't send any troops to protect them. The middle-aged scholar on the side immediately objected, pouring cold water on the young man.

"But, even then, aren't those pirates afraid that the Gui army will settle accounts with them afterwards?" the young man asked unconvinced.

The middle-aged scholar shook his head and sighed: "Then you also need the Gui army to have the courage to do it, don't forget that Jiapu Country is a maritime power that is not weaker than our Gui Country, and they are the real masterminds behind those pirates." Now that our country is taking care of itself, how can we have the ability to deal with those pirates? In fact, our remote border place, in the eyes of those cultivators in Gui State, has long been regarded as a place like chicken ribs, so for many years, in addition to collecting taxes on us, has it not been indifferent to our Xiaoyu County. ”

"Then what should we do with Bing'er? Do you just watch her disappear like this? This child is so pitiful! Since she was a child, she has no parents, and she has no other relatives except her grandfather, all of whom we have brought up, if there are three long and two short, then how can she be worthy of her dead parents!" Another dignified-looking woman next to the old man suddenly choked up, sounding particularly close to the missing girl.

When the old man heard this, he was even more anxious. The Bing'er in their mouths was his only granddaughter, and the woman was the old man's daughter, the girl's aunt.

The middle-aged man in blue on the side hurriedly comforted: "County Chief, don't be too sad, I don't know how Miss Bing'er is doing now, if you can't wait for any news, I suggest that you go and ask Shen Hao Immortal Master to see if he can get Bing'er back." ”

"But didn't Immortal Master Shen Hao announce some time ago that he was going to close the life and death pass? He also said that if there is no major matter, don't bother him, it's not good for us to look for him at this time?" the young man remembered something and said on the side.

Hearing this, everyone fell silent, and after a while, the old man on the throne finally said, "Alas, there is no way but to ask for help from Haoxian's nephew." Although he is an immortal master, of course he can't be disturbed casually at this time, but after all, he is a member of our Shen family, and Bing'er is also a cousin who has played since childhood, and he will never ignore her disappearance, so I will personally go to his cave to invite him later. ”

When everyone heard this, they also nodded, and now they can only rely on this method. At this moment, a servant suddenly burst in from outside the door in a hurry, panting and saying, "County Chief! Elders! Miss is back! Miss is back!"

"What?!" Hearing this, everyone was immediately surprised, and the old man's eyes lit up and his body shook. The middle-aged man hurriedly asked, "Is this true?" is it really that the young lady is back?!"

The servant hurriedly said, "How dare the villain make a joke?!" But the young lady had returned with a strange man, and we had found them outside the city gates, and were now on their way. ”

"What! It's true!" the crowd was overjoyed, and the old man was even more overjoyed, and struggled to go out to meet him.

At this time, a crisp and joyful voice came from outside the door: "Grandpa! I'm back!" Hearing this voice, everyone immediately became happy.

A girl in white jumped eagerly into the hall from outside the door, with a crying and grievance on her face, she threw herself into the arms of the woman next to the old man, and the old man and several others surrounded her together, looking at the crying girl with affection.

This girl in white is Shen Bing, under her leadership, the two of them returned to the county from the seaside, and the guards at the gate of the county town were surprised and happy after seeing the girl, and hurriedly sent someone to report. After inquiring where the old man and his wife were, the girl came at a trot, and Linda followed the girl closely.

Everyone hurriedly comforted the girl, and when she had cried enough, they asked her how she disappeared and how she came back. Shen Bing told her experience these days, and when she talked about how she escaped from the sea, Shen Bing turned around and pulled Lin Da, who had been standing outside the door, and said excitedly: "This is Brother Lin who rescued me back!"
