Not long after, Li Yiheng came to Qingping's residence, which was a wooden house built at the intersection of three branches, Li Yiheng had long noticed that the Qing people around him were a head shorter than him, and the tallest Qingping among these people could only reach his chest.

Li Yiheng asked Qingping curiously: "Are all your clansmen tall?"

Qingping made a "please" gesture to Li Yiheng, and motioned for Li Yiheng to enter the house and speak. The space in the house is large enough, it is a simple two-room layout, after entering the door is the living room, Li Yiheng sat on the wooden chair unceremoniously, although the straw mat on the wooden chair is not as soft as cotton, but it is also very particular about the position that fits the waist, and it is very comfortable to sit on. Qingping was helped by two Qing soldiers to sit on the wooden chair on Li Yiheng's left, and Qingping said softly to them, "You guys should also go and rest." ”

The soldier saluted Li Yi and then exited the house.

Qingping said to Li Yiheng: "Take what you drink, in the back kitchen, I can't entertain you in person now." ”

Li Yi waved his hand: "It's not so polite, by the way, what kind of place is this?"

Qingping replied: "This is Thorn Island, I believe you saw the thorn net when you came in, it was a barrier, against Luo Niu, but it didn't have a particularly significant effect." ”

Li Yiheng remembered the many giant tree trunks he saw when he first came in, and asked curiously, "Why are the trees here so big, and why do you have wings like dragonflies?"

"We are just a race in this world, and there are still many winged people living here, you will see them later", a melancholy look flashed on Qingping's face, which was not easy to detect, but was still captured by Li Yiheng.

"Then I saw your wings disappear in the blink of an eye just now, can they retract?"

Qingping shook his head with a wry smile: "It's a shame to say that I was attacked by He Luo Niu just now, and this is a protective measure." Qingping said, and two small wing skeletons slowly grew on his back, and continued to extend to both sides, and the transparent wings were very unfolded, presenting them in front of Li Yiheng.

Li Yiheng was surprised, got up and went around Qingping's back to take a closer look, but after thinking about it, it was too rude to meet for the first time, so he sat back again.

"Who is Mida, why do those people kneel down to me?" Li Yiheng thought of the expressions of the group of people just now, and saw himself as if he was seeing a god.

"That's the god we worship, we call it Mida, and there is a temple dedicated to him in the middle of the ground in the center of the city, and these people saw that you were dressed strangely and saved them, so they took you for Mida. ”

Qingping looked at Li Yiheng's thoughtful appearance, coughed slightly, Li Yiheng came back to his senses, and continued to ask Qingping: "You said that there are other people with wings here, where do they live?"

Qingping seemed to be very sensitive to this question, and his tone became thicker: "We live at the bottom here, and the rest of the people live in better places, they have barriers, and we can't get by, so every time we are attacked by the Heluo herd, we can only hide in the lower places, and the clansmen hope that the temple there can withstand the attack of the Heluo Niu." ”

This is really talking about Li Yiheng's pain point, Li Yiheng was already disgusted with these bullies, and when he heard Qingping say this, he was even more angry, so he patted his chest and packed the ticket to Qingping: "With me Li Yiheng here, I will definitely help you eradicate these evil forces." ”

Qingping looked at Li Yihenglu's uneven posture, and he was also excited: maybe he is really the second "Mida"?!

Xiao Ji saw that the two of them were talking about it incoherently, and his stomach was already hungry, and he kept pecking at Li Yiheng's collar, Li Yiheng understood, and asked Qingping with a smile: "Do you have anything to eat? ”

Xiao Ji looked at the boastful Li Yiheng, pecked him a few times with contempt, and screamed "chirp".

Qingping pointed to the kitchen: "There is food there, but I'm afraid you won't get used to it." ”

Li Yiheng walked into the kitchen and saw a bamboo basket on the table, and the bamboo basket was all kinds of dried meat, Li Yiheng asked Qingping: "Wouldn't what you said be the things in the bamboo basket?"

Qingping: "It's inside, this is the only food left, because of the attack of the insect swarm, a large area of the dealer has been eaten by He Luo Niu." ”

Li Yiheng looked at the jerky in the basket, picked up a slice and took a bite, it was hard and a little dry, and it was really difficult to swallow.

Xiao Ji jumped to the outer edge of the bamboo basket, picked up a piece of jerky, swallowed it directly, and ate it very deliciously, looking at Xiao Ji, Li Yiheng sighed and said: "What should I do with you." ”

Xiao Ji completely ignored Li Yiheng and swallowed it to himself, and it didn't seem to taste what it was.

Li Yiheng casually stuffed a few pieces of fruit, and wanted to go outside to explore the terrain, and said to Qingping: "You rest first, I want to go outside to see." ”

Qingping instructed Li Yiheng: "Just take a stroll around here, don't go far, I'm afraid that you will intrude into the territory of the Huo people by mistake, we have a long conflict with the Huo people, and they have barriers and traps at the junction, don't forget it." ”

Li Yiheng nodded, took Xiao Ji out of the house, and walked along the trunk of the tree towards the center of the city with dense houses. Li Yiheng watched as some Qing people were carrying the remnants of their houses and reassembling them, others were mending houses that had been eaten out of big holes by Heluo Niu, and some Qing people were wearing red coats with the logo of Qing wings printed on the center, these were doctors who were helping injured Qing people.

When these people saw Li Yiheng, they all stopped what they were doing, and their eyes flashed with tears of worship, obviously someone had spread Li Yiheng's deeds.

"But that's fine, you don't have to run into the enemy. Li Yiheng thought and made a cheering gesture to the Qing people, and for a while the Qing people cheered, and the efficiency of the action seemed to have improved a lot.

Looking at these Qing people, Li Yiheng thought to himself: "What kind of person is that so-called 'Mida', who left such a great impression on the Qing people?"

As he pondered, he came to an open, field-like place, where a thick layer of earth had been deposited and rotting leaves were mixed with it. The wheat on the soil has been eaten by the Luo Niu, and there is not a single grain missing from the ground.

"The attack of this group of Heluo Niu looks chaotic, but everywhere they go, they eat all the grains, leaving no room for it, and they are really greedy. Li Yiheng's emotion had not yet subsided, and he suddenly found that the faint pink smoke began to fill the surroundings at some point, and the color of the smoke gradually deepened, and Xiao Ji didn't notice the strangeness around him at all.

Li Yiheng looked around vigilantly, and vaguely heard a sound in the distance, like the whipping of rattans. Li Yiheng made a color to Xiao Yan, followed the direction of the sound, and came to a seemingly collapsed ground, the diameter of the hole was about ten meters, and the thick pink smoke was coming out like a fountain from below, and the sound of Xi Yi also came from below.

Just as Li Yi was carefully observing around the edge of the ground depression, a thin filament like a fishing line split the dense fog from below the ground depression, threw it at Li Yiheng's feet, and quickly retracted after sinking into the ground.

Li Yiheng glanced at Xiao Ji with palpitations, Xiao Ji swelled himself, his wings fanned a strong wind, and soon blew away the dense fog in the ground, Li Yiheng glanced at the branches below There were still two injured Heluo Niu, and slowly approached a little girl about ten years old, and the little girl was scared and clinging to the trunk of the tree, surrounded by a corpse of Heluo Niu that was all broken in two.

Li Yi turned over horizontally, grabbed a petiole and jumped again, came to a diagonal branch above the little girl's head, slid down the inclined branch, stood in front of the little girl, and cut off the head of He Luo Niu in two clicks.

The little girl saw Li Yiheng and Luo Niu killed, and bowed down to thank her: "Thank you for saving me." ”

Li Yiheng asked her in confusion: "Why are you here?

The little girl didn't answer, but pointed to it. Li Yi picked up the little girl horizontally, jumped back to the ground in three or two, and the little girl said "thank you" again, and ran into the distance, flashing behind a branch and disappearing.

Li Yiheng scratched his hair: "Is it difficult to be an orphan?" turned his head to look at Xiao Ji, and found that Xiao Ji was staring intently at the direction where the little girl disappeared, Li Yiheng teased it: "Hey, people are human, the way you are now, being someone's pet is almost the same." ”

Xiao Ji was indifferent to Li Yiheng's ridicule, still looking in that direction.

Feeling that the time was almost up, Li Yiheng returned to Qingping's residence the same way, Qingping was rubbing medicine on his wounds, moaning from time to time because of the pain.

Li Yiheng hurriedly stepped forward to help, and asked him while rubbing medicine on Qingping: "It's the night sky outside the thorn net, how can there be light inside?"

Qingping leaned on the table and gritted his teeth: "There is a light tree in Thorn Island, and the tree is full of fruits that emit white light, providing a light source, but this tree grows on the top. ”

"What kind of plant is this, it sounds like a condensation of some kind of energy, you must check it out. Li Yiheng thought secretly and closed the medicine box: "No wonder, then this is a closed world, so how do you adjust your schedule?"

Qingping slowly sat back in his chair, pointed to his eyes and said, "We can feel the light time, and when we reach enough time, we will automatically fall asleep." ”

"Then you're not afraid that Luo Niu will attack while you're sleeping?"

"We all have guards, several guards rest in a closed and opaque room, replace the guards who are about to fall asleep, and take turns to execute, today happens to be me supervising, so I will be attacked by He Luo Niu. ”

"What do I think the people are very dissatisfied with you?" Li Yiheng thought of the eyes of the people looking at Qingping, and asked bluntly.

Qingping deliberately avoided this topic, pointed to a bedroom and said to Li Yiheng: "This is your room, rest here tonight." ”

After speaking, Qingping staggered to his room, Li Yiheng looked at Qingping's arched back, shook his head helplessly, and took Xiao Ping to the room that Qingping pointed out to him.

Push the door in, what catches your eye is a hammock, on the left side of the hammock is a counter, on which are placed some wooden bottles and cans, Li Yiheng picked up a wooden jar and put it under his nose and smelled it, there is a fragrance of pear wood;

Li Yiheng picked up all the wooden cans one after another, and found that they were all made of pear wood, "It's hard to see that Qingping has a special habit of pear wood?" Li Yiheng asked Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji fluttered his wings and landed in the hammock, and was about to fall asleep with his eyes closed, Li Yiheng muttered and put down the wooden jar in his hand: "If you are like these Qing people, how good it would be to be able to speak." Then he rolled over and lay down in the hammock, swinging back and forth, looking out the window at the light that was not sunlight through the branches and hitting the windowsill, and fell into deep thought: they were talking about Mida being the god here, and it seemed that this was also a place where religion flourished, and what was this closed world like?

Li Yiheng was completely sleepy, looked at Xiao Ji who had begun to snore, and said enviously: "How good it would be if I were like you, carefree, and how comfortable I am." ”

A sound of metal collision came, interrupting Li Yiheng's thoughts, Li Yiheng got up and quietly pushed open the door, listened attentively, followed by the sound of wooden sticks knocking, it was from Qingping's room, Li Yiheng thought that Qingping was injured, and he fell to the ground with inconvenience, so he knocked on Qingping's door and asked: "Qingping, it's okay, do you want to help?" There was no echo inside, Li Yiheng thought Qingping had fainted, and directly pushed open the door, but he didn't see Qingping's figure, the hammock was quiet, and there was no sign of moving.

Then there was another muffled sound, this time Li Yiheng heard it clearly, the sound came from the ground, so Li Yiheng lay on the floor, his ears against the ground to determine the location of the sound.

After another muffled sound, Li Yiheng was sure that there was a secret room under the floor, so he stretched out his left hand to grope along the seam of the floor, and touched a seam wider than the rest, although the eyes did not see very clearly, but the feeling of the fingers was very clear, Li Yiheng unfolded the umbrella blade, reached into the gap in the floor, gently lifted the floor, and opened a square secret door, under which was a ladder. Li Yiheng carefully lifted the secret door, put it aside, got up and walked down the stairs slowly.

When he reached the bottom of the stairs, Li Yi saw that it was a secret room, and it was deep, built in a huge tree trunk. Qingping was turning his back to him, holding a hammer and pounding something on the table, not realizing that Li Yiheng was already standing behind him.

Looking at Qingping's focused back, Li Yiheng didn't know how to speak, and finally Li Yiheng "snorted", which attracted Qingping's attention. Qingping turned to look at Li Yiheng, who was also looking at himself strangely, and said in a very unnatural tone: "That, I heard movement in your room, I thought you had fallen, and I wanted to come in to help you, but I found something unusual on the floor, so I came in." ”

Qingping was very calm, and said to Li Yiheng: "With your ability, it is not strange that you can easily discover this secret room, since you are here, it is better to guide me." Qingping said, sideways revealing an iron crossbow on the table—as long as an arm, black throughout, with three rows of round mouths, and three arrow holes in each row, and Qingping was pounding the ejection device of the iron crossbow.

"If the iron crossbow is successfully made and can be mass-produced, it will be able to quickly destroy the invading Heluo Niu", Qingping stroked the iron crossbow and said confidently, "I have been researching and improving the iron crossbow so that it can fire nine wooden arrows at a time and can be quickly reloaded", Qingping unloaded the part of the head of the iron crossbow that contained the wooden arrows, and the nine holes were facing Li Yiheng," But there are few iron tools here, so I can only borrow them from other Qing people from door to door, and promise them that after success, I will be able to destroy the Heluo herd in one fell swoop, but I am stuck in the catapult link and have not been able to break through, and now I am attacked by the Heluo herd, and the other people must hate me, just like today. Qingping slammed the table to punish himself for being useless.

Looking at Qingping, who blamed himself, Li Yiheng picked up the iron crossbow, examined it, and said to Qingping solemnly: "I have seen this kind of iron crossbow, I can help you." ”

Qingping's eyes regained their confident brilliance, but he looked at Li Yiheng uncertainly: "Really?" Li Yiheng patted Qingping's shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, I mean what I say." ”

Qingping couldn't control it anymore, leaving tears of relief, this was the first time since the iron crossbow was made that someone said that they believed in him and wanted to help him.

Li Yiheng continued: "Today you go up to rest first, tomorrow I will prepare the drawings, and we are studying and discussing." Qingping was already in tears, hugging Li Yiheng, as if releasing all his grievances.
