Chapter 21: The Barbarian Chieftain
After being silent for a long time, Ding Zhuqiang turned his mind back to his senses and asked the barbarian leader slowly, "Do you plan to reap the benefits?"
"Sit and reap the benefits!?"
The leader of the barbarian clan obviously didn't understand what Ding Zhuqiang's idiom meant?
"Heh......" Ding Zhuqiang smiled dryly, shook his head unpredictably, and didn't make much excuses, but asked in a popular way: "That is to say, your barbarian clan will wait until the Miao clan and the Eight Desolations City win and who loses, and then they will take action, right?"
The leader of the barbarians suddenly smiled and asked, "Do you want to ask my barbarians for help?"
Ding Zhuqiang thought about it for a while, but asked, "Is the Eight Desolation City very strong?"
The leader of the barbarian clan only said: "One of the ten main cities in the human world, with tens of thousands of troops, it is said that it has also formed an alliance with Aoxing City in the northwest. It was only because they were afraid of the giant beasts of the desolate land that they did not dare to raise troops to attack our barbarian tribe. ”
"That being the case...... Ding Zhuqiang arched his hand and said, "Tomorrow I want to ask Uncle Ah Lan to send me and Ruoshui out of this desolate land." ”
"I remember Ah Lan told me that you are not from this world. The barbarian leader stared at Ding Zhuqiang with his deep old eyes, and asked word for word, "Have you ever thought about returning home?"
"What?" Ding Zhuqiang was immediately startled, his heart trembled, and he raised his eyes sharply to stare at the wise old man in front of him, and hesitated for a while before saying: "Of course I will never forget to return to my hometown, may I ask the old man ...... Grandpa...... Do you have any way? Please also point out a clear path, I Ding Zhuqiang will definitely remember it in my heart, and I will always feel great gratitude. ”
The leader of the barbarian clan nodded with a smile and said, "Good boy, I have heard Ah Lan say that it was you who saved his life under Shekou, so Ah Lan will take special care of you and train you during your recuperation." ”
"Yes. ”
Ding Zhuqiang nodded unequivocally in agreement.
"That's good. The leader of the barbarians nodded happily and said, "If my barbarians do their best to help you return to your homeland, shouldn't you also help my barbarians return to their homeland?"
"Ahh......h But I ...... But how can I help you barbarians return to their homeland?"
"There's no urgency, you just have to say yes. The leader of the barbarian clan is really not an ordinary old man who is serious and calculating, and turned to Ding Zhuqiang and reassured: "You can relax, my barbarian clan will definitely help the Miao clan." ”
"That'...... Thank you so much. ”
Ding Zhuqiang was overjoyed all of a sudden.
The leader of the barbarians also smiled, nodded kindly, and said, "Go! The person who picked you up has been waiting for you outside the palace for a long time." ”
"Well, well, I'll take my leave. ”
At this time, two good news were learned one after another. For Ding Zhuqiang, meaninglessness is not like a dream, and it really needs to be calmed down.
"Hey!" Seeing Ding Zhuqiang come out of the hall, he was as happy as if he had drunk honey, and Ruoshui shouted and asked, "What are you secretly happy about?"
"I'll tell you later. Ding Zhuqiang jumped in front of Ruoshui all of a sudden, but he sold Guan Zi first. He followed up and asked, "Huh, why are you alone?" Uncle Alan!"
Ruoshui said, "Of course he asked me to pick you up!"
"Oh!" Ding Zhuqiang nodded, suddenly looked up at the sunset on the horizon, and said affectionately: "Ruoshui, can you accompany me to see the sunset?" because I have a lot to say to you. ”
"Okay!" Ruoshui replied very happily: "I think your Uncle Ah Lan should be busy making manta dragon meat with his family at this time! ”
"Really?"
Ding Zhuqiang asked, and then naturally held hands with Ruoshui and left. When Ding Zhuqiang left, the barbarian leader appeared at the door of the hall, which seemed very meaningful.
"I've heard that it's the people of the Eight Desolations City who are eyeing you. ”
"Oh, you've got me all in. ”
"I also inquired...... It turned out that it all started because of me. If it weren't for my presence, your Miao clan wouldn't be ......."
"No, it's not all your fault. ”
"But ......" Ding Zhuqiang, who was sitting on the top of the mountain, was stunned, looked at Hongxia in the sky and said: "Ruoshui, you should know that I don't belong to this world." ”
"I know that......" Ruoshui, who was also sitting next to him, whispered, and lowered his eyes gloomily, "No matter what, you want to go back to your family, right?"
Ding Zhuqiang's throat moved, and he actually asked, "Are you willing to leave your people?"
Ruoshui was unpredictable and shook his head, as if there were tears rolling in his eyes, and wiped away the tears with a different head, but then smiled: "I know, no wonder you are so happy?
"Yes!" Ding Zhuqiang felt sour in his heart inexplicably, this should have been a great news worthy of his own joy! But why do you feel very uncomfortable in your heart, and there is an urge to cry, Ding Zhuqiang tried his best to restrain his emotions from being revealed, but his voice was still difficult to hide and said: "Barbarian's ...... The leader of the old grandfather...... Right...... Say to me, will help me...... Return to ......"
"Really, that's a good thing!"
Ruoshui said with a smile, but her pretty face was already crying with tears......
In Ding Zhuqiang's eyes, he had already bitten his lips, bitten blood, and said with tears in his eyes: "I know you are reluctant, but ...... Haven't we been separated yet?"
"That's sooner or later!"
Ruoshui shook his head desperately.
Ding Zhuqiang couldn't be relieved for a while, and he couldn't be comforted, so he had to take a deep breath and ask: "Ruoshui, have you ever heard of a saying that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge?"
"What...... What?"
Ruoshui was stunned for a moment.
Ding Zhuqiang didn't sell it, so he got up and said: "Let's go! The good way is that there is wine today and drunk today, and tomorrow will be sad." We're not yet at the time to part!"
"Well, you're right, at least we're still together now. ”
Ruoshui is also a smart girl, but she cherishes the short time together now.
Unconsciously, in this crying and laughing, the relationship between the two became closer and closer. Perhaps, this is precisely because of the simple love between boys and girls, and the love is worry-free!
"Okay, seeing that it's getting dark, Uncle Lan must not be in a hurry for the two of us!"
When Ding Zhuqiang said, he had no scruples, and naturally took Ruoshui's little hand and left.
"Oh, do you know where he lives? Just take me and leave. ”
Listening to the tone, Ruoshui has also recovered and his mood has improved.
"Hey, hey, hey......"
In Ding Zhuqiang's embarrassed laughter, Ruoshui took his hand angrily, and walked straight towards the courtyard where Uncle A Lan lived at night.
"That's right, Ruoshui. After calming down, Ding Zhuqiang remembered and said, "How are you going to see that barbarian woman?"
"My brother has already given her the antidote. Ruoshui replied, "Because my brother is afraid that if this barbarian woman dies of poison, I will not survive." ”
"What? What the hell is this......
Ding Zhuqiang really didn't know why all of a sudden.
"According to her, my brother and the five of them were noticed when they passed through the Eight Desolation City, and before they could enter the wilderness, they were detained by the city lord's troops. ”
"When was it?" Ding Zhuqiang said suspiciously, "Why didn't we have any news when we were in Eight Desolation City!"
Ruoshui shook his head with a small pout: "What else do you say, you don't want to think about it, we haven't even lived in the Eight Desolation City for a night, of course we don't know." ”
Ding Zhuqiang thought about it for a while, and then asked, "What about now!"
Ruoshui was shocked: "I think the situation has become very complicated now, and I can't explain it for a while. I think my brother also wanted to save me, so he finally agreed to give her the antidote and let her come back!"
"Then what should we do now!" Ding Zhuqiang asked, and then added: "By the way, the leader of the barbarian clan, Grandpa, has already promised to help your Miao clan. ”
"Really? That would be much better. ”
Ruoshui immediately let out a cheer, and at this time, while walking and talking, he had come to a very similar farmhouse compound......
"Uncle Lan ......"
With Ding Zhuqiang's shout, he suddenly saw Uncle A Lan looking forward to it at the entrance of the courtyard......
"You kid...... Why did you come back?"
Listening to Uncle Alan's tone, it was as if he was training his own children.
"Abba, Abba, manta dragon meat is all stewed. ”
At this moment, I didn't hear it, and two little kids babbled over.
"Uncle Alan, is this your child?"
"Isn't this nonsense?"
"No, I just think Uncle Lan, why is your child so young?"
"I married my wife late, and of course the children are still young. ”
Ding Zhuqiang suddenly had nothing to say, but he held Ruoshui who was holding hands beside him, and his pretty face suddenly turned red.
But then a crisp voice cried out, "What are you shouting! The children are hungry." ”
"Okay wife, here you go. ”
I didn't see that these five big and three coarse, fierce and vicious scar barbarians still have such a side that is afraid of their wives.
But when Ding Zhuqiang took Ruoshui and entered the thatched hut and saw Uncle Alan's wife, he didn't know whether to call his sister or aunt?
"Sit, sit, sit and ......"
As soon as she saw Ding Zhuqiang and Miao Ruoshui entering the house, the hostess seemed to know about it, and hurriedly greeted her warmly.
Ding Zhuqiang suddenly became shy and well-behaved, and this family of five was really happy in Ding Zhuqiang's opinion.
This inevitably made Ding Zhuqiang think of his family......
Unexpectedly, this young and beautiful barbarian woman has really good cooking skills, and she cooked this manta dragon meat as delicious as her stewed chicken, and even Ruoshui drank soup for several nights and ate several pieces of meat.
After eating, Uncle Ah Lan had already settled a thatched hut for Ding Zhuqiang and Ruoshui to rest, which was as clean and tidy as a newlywed cave room.
