Chapter 269: Quiet Waiting

Watching the departure of the black-armored soldier, Su Li shook his head, but he didn't say anything more, he felt that he should do something.

He didn't mind the coarseness of the food, swallowed all these things, turned them into energy, and warmed his stomach, he knew that even if he was a powerful cultivator, it was impossible not to eat nothing, and if there was no food, the cultivator would also be dizzy and faint, so since he had decided to do something, he naturally needed to eat first.

After eating the food sent by the black-armored soldier, Su Li wiped the corners of his mouth, I have to say, these things are really unpalatable, not only unpalatable, but also not enough.

At this moment, the slender arm handed a bamboo tube with some clean water in it.

Looking at the bamboo tube that suddenly appeared beside him, Su Li was slightly stunned, and then turned around and saw a immature face, on which there was a pair of charming big eyes, clear as a spring, but in these clean eyes, there was a trace of reluctance, and following the gaze Su Li knew that he was reluctant to give up the water in his bamboo tube.

"Thank you. Smiling slightly, Su Li took the bamboo tube, took a sip of water gently, and then handed the bamboo tube back, he knew that water was more precious than food here, and the slender young man in front of him had obviously saved it for a long time.

took the bamboo tube and found that Su Li hadn't drunk too much, so the young man breathed a sigh of relief, carefully put away the bamboo tube in his hand, and then seemed to remember something, the young man took out two more cloth bags and handed them to Su Li.

"What is this?" Su Li saw that the two cloth bags seemed to be some kind of medicinal powder ground from herbs, and looked at the young man with some curiosity and asked.

The young man said a little stiffly: "The black is snake repellent powder, there are too many poisonous snakes in the wasteland, many poisonous snakes don't like this smell, and they will basically not be bitten if they are smeared, and the rest are some emergency medicinal materials, these things can save lives, and Lord Du asked me to send them to you." ”

Handing the things to Su Li, the young man's eyes also showed a trace of envy, he was envious of these things, but he also knew that this was not something he could have.

"Thank you. Su Li thanked the young man again.

This restrained young man was about the same age as him, very young, his face was extremely clean, his figure was not tall, half a head shorter than Su Li, because of Su Li's scrutiny, his face lines looked a little tight.

"What's your name, how old are you this year, why did you come here to join the army at such a young age?" Su Li put down the medicine bag, suddenly laughed, looked at him and asked.

The young man was a little hesitant, but he still said softly and solemnly: "My lord, my name is Zhong Ling, well, the mausoleum of the mausoleum, this year is sixteen." ”

When the young man said the words of the mausoleum, his tone was a little heavier, as if he didn't want others to misunderstand.

"Zhongling is a good name. Su Li smiled and said, "It's amazing that you can already survive in this vast wasteland at such a young age!"

The young man heard Su Li's eyebrows, and his face flushed slightly, and then he was a little embarrassed, but he was also much more relaxed, not as restrained as before.

"I have no other intentions. Su Li looked at the immature teenager and asked the other party to relax, "I just think that you don't hate me as much as the person who brought me food before, so I just talked to you a few more words." ”

The young man named Zhong Ling hesitated, and after a while, he nodded and said, "I think you are a good person, but Lord Du is also a good person, I hope you don't have a grudge against Lord Du, Lord Du has paid too much to let us survive, I don't want you to blame him." ”

"Do you think I look like I have a grudge against him?" Su Li laughed.

Zhong Ling looked at Su Li who was smiling and couldn't answer, because he intuitively felt that Su Li was not a wicked person, but everything about Su Li was a little difficult for him to understand, just like someone else was abandoned here, how could he still laugh like Su Li, could it be said that this was the difference between cultivators and them?

"My lord, can I ask a question?" Zhong Ling thought about it again, looked at Su Li with some hesitation, and then gritted his teeth and asked softly.

Looking at those clear eyes, Su smiled heartily: "Ask, I'm actually a little younger than you." ”

Zhong Ling was taken aback, and looked at Su Li in disbelief, although he had always felt that the adult in front of him was not big, but he didn't expect that he was even smaller than him, wasn't that the smallest person in the army? But he seemed to be the biggest official.

Coming back to his senses, Zhong Ling looked at Su Li with some excitement and asked seriously: "My lord, are you really a cultivator? What is a cultivator like?" Lord Du has always said that as long as a powerful cultivator arrives, we can survive safely, is the cultivator really that powerful, even more powerful than Lord Du?"

A series of questions made Su Li stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, but he could feel the desire for knowledge in the young man's eyes.

"Cultivators are just a group of people with great power, and they also need food, clothing, shelter and transportation, so it's not a big deal. Su Li thought about the wording, and finally decided to say it.

Zhong Ling is different, he can only shake his head, and with that clean face, he looks cute.

"Well, you'll always know. Su Li looked away and landed on the soldiers who were still silent in the distance.

"I actually understand you very well, after all, what you need is a cultivator with a lot of experience and at the same time a strong one, so that you can take you to complete the task, and then go back alive, naturally I don't want a young and inexperienced person like me to lead, so I don't blame Lord Du, the same Lord Weng and you are all kind people, even if you don't like it anymore, you still respect me very much, still send me the best food, there will still be two soldiers by my side at night, I really like this kind of love and hate, so I don't want you to have an accident。 Su Li sighed and said helplessly.

"My lord" Zhong Ling glanced at Su Li with some gratitude, but he still didn't know what to say.

Su Li restrained his smile, looked at Zhong Ling and said: "General Du thought that I was afraid that I would provoke some powerful people, so I was sent here, and it was because of me that you can't go back, so staying here will bring more trouble to this layer, being able to let me stay here is already his biggest concession, but he didn't think about it completely, if there is really no danger here, how can he send me here?"

"If you want a person to die directly, you will definitely send him to a place where he can enjoy good things?" Su Li nodded to a forest in the distance, took a deep breath, and said softly: "I'm afraid that this place will not be as peaceful as it seems, it is precisely because I like you that I will stay, because I stay here, at least I can help a little." ”

Zhong Ling looked at Su Li with some surprise, he felt more and more that Su Li was not as unbearable as they imagined in their hearts, and he also somewhat understood some of Su Li's meaning.

Because it is about real life and death, Du Mu does not dare to take the slightest risk, and he will definitely not change his opinion of Su Li because of some of Su Li's words, so only when Su Li really shows him will he have a change of opinion about Su Li.

This is a fact, it is also a fact, and it is also a thing that cannot be helped.

So Su Li could only wait, waiting for the next crisis to come.
