Chapter 607: Farewell

Bone Claw: They were so anxious that they kept persuading the barren stones.

"Deserted old man, do you want to stay in this place for the rest of your life, don't you want to hug your children and play with them?

"Now there are so many children waiting for you to raise in Xicheng Young Tower, are you still unwilling?"

"Stay here, you can't move when you're old, and you can't be gnawed by insects!"

The barren stone grabbed the worm's head and turned his back, leaving them with a stubborn back,

"Don't persuade me. ”

Bone Claw: They stopped talking.

Ye Xi saw that they frowned and were silent, for fear that they would also stay, so he hurriedly told them some interesting things about Xicheng, as well as the children's life in the young tower. Bone Claw originally wanted to see the tribe outside, but under Ye Xi's repeated temptation and persuasion, he finally relented and agreed to go with him.

Ye Xi was afraid that they would change their minds, so he immediately sent the barren stone back to the cave, and after cleaning up a little, he said goodbye to the barren stone, and left immediately with the bone claw.

After flying into the air, he was not in a hurry, and Ye Xi asked the cormorant to slow down.

"Whew, whew!"

The oncoming wind dissipates heat, but there is no danger of being blown down, which is very comfortable.

Sitting on the back of the cormorant, you can see the clear blue sky, snow-white clouds, and the continuous rainforest like the sea at your feet. There are a lot of strange-looking flying insects around, some as big as a helicopter and some as small as a fly.

They also saw a beautiful colony of green butterflies.

This group of butterflies fluttered out of the rainforest, hovering in mid-air, each of them the size of a palm, the wings of the butterfly were beautiful emerald green, slightly reflected in the sun, and when they flickered, they flashed like roaming elves.

Ye Xi looked at these beautiful creatures intently, but after only one glance at the bone claws, they lowered their heads and were silent, as if they were preoccupied.

The atmosphere was heavy.

When the cormorant flew through a ribbon-like winding rainforest river, the leech suddenly bowed his head like a child and cried, wiping the old tears on the back of his wrinkled hand and choking and saying, "The old man has always wanted to eat spotted fish!"

"It says it's best when cooked!"

This sound broke the peace, the bone claw statue made up his mind, exhaled heavily, and said to Ye Xi firmly: "Wu, I'm sorry, can you send me back, I won't leave! I can't let the old man stay here alone!"

Ye Xi was silent for a while and said, "It's decided?"

Bone Claw nodded without hesitation.

The other three veteran soldiers also said: "There is still me, and I will not leave." ”

"You stay here, I don't feel at ease when I go to Xicheng!"

"Then I'll go back with you. ”

Ye Xi looked at their ravine-lined old faces, dark and firm eyes, and after a while, he finally decided to respect their thoughts and ordered the eagles to turn back.

At the entrance to the Grinding Stone Tribe.

Dendrobium tassels grow luxuriantly in the sun, waterfall-like branches hang down, and delicate flowers of bright yellow dot the green leaves.

Compared to the vigorous plants, the barren rocks next to it looked like lifeless rotten wood, hanging their heads, and staring at the messy black char on the groundβ€”the remains of a bonfire left over from the morning eating fire feathers.

The birds were singing all around, and the insects were chirping one after another, but the barren stone murmured: "It's so quiet......"

Just as the barren stone was bent on his back and wanted to return to the cave with heavy steps, the top of his head suddenly darkened.

He raised his head and watched in amazement as the cormorants descended from the sky, and the bonepaws and the others jumped down one by one laughing like miracles.

"Old man, we're back, aren't you happy?"

"We're not leaving!"

The barren stone was simply stupid, stunned for a while, and suddenly jumped up and scolded them as if his feet were burned by fire, and he couldn't stop crying while scolding, and he couldn't go on. And the bone claw they always laughed, let him scold, as easy as letting go of the big stone in their hearts.

Ye Xi stood quietly next to the cormorant and looked at them, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes dimmed.

In the midst of the lively and energetic reunion, another picture involuntarily appeared in his mind.

Decades later, the five veterans are approaching their age, with tooth loss, ringing ears, and no longer able to pick rare herbs or go into the jungle in search of food.

Hungry, they used all their strength to block the cave with rocks, and then they supported each other, and crawled to the pile of dry bones in the cave, and lay on it with a peaceful expression, waiting for death in the dark.

When they died, it didn't take long for the flesh and blood to be eaten by the small insects in the cave, and then they also turned into dry bones, which merged with the original dry bones.

The last survivors of the Millstone Tribe are all gone......

"Witch!"

The bone claw held a large wooden pot and ran to Ye Xi with full spirit.

After making up his mind, his eyes regained their brightness.

Ye Xi took the big wooden jar.

Bone Claw: "This is the dried worm that I think is delicious, you can try it on the way!"

The big leech emptied all the horse-faced mantis in the cave: "Wu, please accept all these big crickets, the grebes also love to eat, just give it to eat when it is bored on the road!"

The other two veterans also brought a lot of sweet, crunchy and delicious pupae.

Huang Shi brought two stone jars, one large and one small: "Wu, thank you for your help to us, you were in too much of a hurry when you left just now, and I forgot to give them to you." The small jar contains the seeds of the herb, and the large jar contains the fresh herb. ”

He said a little embarrassedly: "Although you are not afraid of poisonous insects, we have nothing else to give you, you can give them to other people in Xicheng, I hope you don't dislike them." ”

Ye Xi took the two stone jars and said sincerely: "Thank you, this is a very precious and useful gift." ”

Arashi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

After Ye Xi tied the things to the cormorants, he took out all the silver beans he was carrying to heal his wounds, as well as the bronze sake jug with a small half pot of ice sake, and stuffed them without refusal.

"Okay, I'm leaving, you ......"

Ye Xi's chest was sour and he stopped talking, and finally showed a bright smile, strode forward and gave each of them a hug, then patted them on the shoulder, and jumped on the back of the cormorant with a bent knee.

The cormorant took off again.

In the strong wind, the cormorants flew towards the blazing sun.

In mid-air, Ye Xi looked down.

In the endless green rainforest, in the small clearing at the entrance of the cave, the figures of the old people had turned into five invisible dots, but they were still waving vigorously to him and watching him leave.

The clearing was trampled out by the cormorants, and soon the lush vegetation would grow and completely engulf the small clearing......

Ye Xi's heart suddenly swelled with a feeling of suffocation.

"β€”β€”!"

The cormorant screamed, flipped its purple-red wings, and carried Ye Xi away completely.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
