Chapter 17: The Wrath of the Firmament
The sky is blue, just like a soft blue silk, and the white clouds flutter leisurely, as if embroidering the blue silk with white flowers, swaying, revealing a dynamic beauty.
Lockty sat on the roof, feeling the mild sunshine, and stretched lazily, "This weather is really suitable for pranks." ”
Then a voice came from below, "In that case, Patriarch Publin may come back and discipline you again." ”
Lockty looked down and saw that Meisha was climbing up the ladder, "Instead of being lazy, you should complete the task your grandfather gave you first." ”
Locke curled her mouth, "Sister Meisha, I'm not lazy. You see, I'm done. ”
Maisha also climbed onto the roof at this time, and looked in the direction of Locke's finger, rows of fresh purple fruits were neatly arranged on the roof, enjoying the moisture of the sun evenly. And next to them there were rows of dried fruits that had dried up, deep purple, like purple pearls.
"The little guy is doing a good job. Meisha patted Lockty on the head and sat down next to her.
Lockty pursed her lips again, "Sister Meisha, don't call me little one, you're not much older than me." ”
Hearing this, Mesha's body stiffened suddenly, and the smile on her face froze for a moment, "Oh, yes, but in my eyes, you're just a little guy." "Didn't let Locky see it.
Lockty looked up at the sky, and seemed to be thinking about something in his eyes, "Sister Meisha, do you think there is any danger for Grandpa and Brother Jiang Heng to go to the Eya Grand Canyon?"
Messa turned her head to look at her, "Are you worried about the two of them?"
Rarely, Lockty didn't giggle and answer quickly, but clasped his hands around his knees, curled up, and buried his head deeply, leaving only a pair of green eyes glistening with tears. "Of course, after all,"
Her voice was crying, "I can't lose anything more!"
After all, the tears still didn't hold back and flowed down the arm. Meisha was a little stunned, she couldn't think of what was going on in the heart of this usually stupid and optimistic child. But she didn't know what to do, so she could only pat Lockty on the back with her hand, trying to comfort her in this way.
After a while, the crying slowly stopped, but the head was not raised. Meisha just stayed quietly next to her, and she didn't know how long it was, but she remembered that a flower in the air floated leisurely across the sky, and Lockty raised her head with red and swollen eyes.
"Sister Mesha, you're not wrong, I'm just a child. Her gaze was fixed on Mesha, "The people are missing, I can't do anything, I'm scared stupid." ”
She smiled self-deprecatingly, "When Jaime Han and Yuke disappeared, when Carl and they disappeared, I panicked, my mind went blank, if it wasn't for my friends supporting me and comforting me, I guess I would have collapsed." ”
"But, but," Lockty's voice hurried again, "she's missing too! when she went out alone to pick cucumbers to amuse me, to make me laugh!"
Meisha looked at Lockty's appearance, "It's not your fault. But he couldn't say anything, he could only listen silently.
However, Lockty himself slowly calmed down, "But I know that I can't let others worry about me anymore, the disappearance of the clan, Grandpa is definitely the saddest, but he still persists, brings hope to the clan, and tells everyone not to forget that the forest rangers don't want us to lose our smile on life." ”
"So, that's why I deliberately did so many pranks to make everyone, so that grandpa should not think about sadness and smile more. ”
"But my heart has always been painful, and I am really afraid of losing, losing those people who put up with me, losing my parents who are not the only ones. That's why when Grandpa goes to ask for your help, even if he doesn't allow it, I'm going to go with him!
Suddenly, Mesha felt something, or rather, empathy. She didn't know that Lockty had such a mature heart under the appearance of a child.
He took a deep breath, put his hand on her shoulder, and said loudly, "Don't worry!"
The voice was a little loud, which made the emotional Lockty suddenly quiet down, and looked at Meisha blankly.
Meisha smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "I promise you," with firmness and tenderness in her eyes, "Young Master and I will definitely solve this problem, and we will definitely give it back to you, your friends, your people, and your previous life!"
Seeing the doubt in Lockty's eyes, "Please believe me, please really be that naughty, but pitiful Lockie!"
There was no basis, but Lockty felt strength from this sentence, wiped the tears from the corners of his dry eyes, and nodded vigorously, "Hmm!"
Hearing Lockty's answer, Mesa stretched out her arms and gently embraced her into her arms.
A very wonderful feeling, Sister Mesha's body temperature is very low, but there is a reassuring and warm feeling, Lockty couldn't help but stretch out her hands and hugged Mesha.
After some time, "Sister Meisha, I want to eat the dried purple fruit you made." ”
Hearing this, Meisha let go of Lockty in her arms, and saw a face full of smirks, and couldn't help laughing, and flicked her forehead with her fingers, "Little glutton, it's not enough to just ask me to do it, girls have to do it themselves, let's go, I'll teach you." ”
Locky jumped up happily, "Okay, let's make these purple fruits that we've already sunned." ”
After saying that, Locke trotted to the ladder, did not hold on to the handle, and directly regarded the ladder as a slide, and the whole person slid down and landed briskly. Turning his head, he shouted to Meisha on the roof, "Sister Meisha, I'll pick it up at the bottom, you throw down the sun-dried purple fruit from above!"
Watching Lockty's dangerous movements, Mesa was really a little startled, but seeing that she was so skillful, she was a little relieved. "Then you can take it. ”
A crystal clear purple fruit was thrown out, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, illuminated by the sun, it was slightly flooded, flipped, and fell......
Suddenly, the weight fell directly on a pair of slender hands, but the hands only swung down slightly, and then straightened up again, as if effortlessly, "Hey, it's really a little heavy." ”
Lottie held the box in her hand, walked to the warehouse, and stacked it. After placing the cargo box in her hand, she crossed her waist with her left hand, wiped the sweat on her forehead with her right hand, looked at the full warehouse, and turned behind her, "Sugar Beads, are there any other goods?"
On a freight cart at the door of the warehouse, Sugar Bead looked down at the carriage, "No, Sister Lottie, it's already done!"
After hearing this, Lottie sat directly on a cargo box, "It's finally finished, and I can finally take a break." ”
At this time, Aelita came over with two water bladders with a smile, handed one of them to Sugarbead, and threw the other one directly to Lottie, "Lottie, this is really thank you, I don't know when I and Sugarbead will finish moving so many goods." ”
Lottie directly caught the water bladder that was thrown over with her right hand, opened the mouth of the bag, and poured it full, "This little thing is nothing, I also want to thank Sister Alita for taking me to Biyan City in a car." ”
"It's just about to be stocked. Alita shook her hand absently, sat next to Lottie, and asked casually, "By the way, why didn't we see Jiang Heng's young man when we came back, he should like to sleep under the Pumi tree at this time of the afternoon." ”
"That kid, I went to do the investigation, it is estimated that it will take two or three days, and I should be able to come back tomorrow. Lottie's tone was like she was talking to someone about her ignorant junior.
"Oh. Aelita nodded, "By the way, Lottie, do you know Jiang Heng's origins? I only heard that he is a nobleman from the big city. ”
"That kid, if he is a nobleman, he may be angry, I like this very much, it is different from the other nobles I have seen, even this time I went to Biyan City to do business, the staff at the gate of the city government are more arrogant than him. Lottie gave a look of remembrance.
"He told me that he was not a nobleman, that the status of a nobleman was only his father's, and that he was not qualified. By the way, he told me that his father was a knight. ”
"This kid's character is really good, it's really rare now. Aelita complimented casually.
Suddenly, fifteen loud bells rang out, startling a few birds on the branches at the door of the warehouse.
"It's already this time. Lottie stood up, "There's still a lot of work to be done at the sheriff's office, alas. Then I'll go first, goodbye, Miss Elita. Goodbye, Sugar Bead, be obedient. ”
Sugar Zhan lay on the ox cart and waved at Lottie, "Okay, go slowly, Sister Lottie." ”
Alita also stood up with a smile on her face, "Naloti, come back when you have time, welcome at any time." ”
Hearing this, Lottie hurriedly ran away, "Well, ha, ha, definitely, definitely, definitely, next time." ”
Looking at Lottie's back as she fled, the smile on Aelrita's face slowly disappeared and was replaced by a serious face.
Tangzhu also walked to Aelita's side at this time, "I don't think Brother Jiang Heng and those nobles are the same kind of people, those merchants in Biyan City are always fierce to me, and they are worried that I am a thief, Brother Jiang Heng will never be like this." ”
One hand was placed on Sugardrop's head and gently stroked, "Of course he wouldn't be like that, after all," Aelita took out a bag with her other hand, beautifully made, the bag drooped as if it contained something heavy, "He's a man of integrity." ”
Gazing at the sword and the Libra logo on the bag, Aelita fell into deep thought......
Wind Blade!
A slender blade completely condensed from the wind attribute demon source emanated from Jiang Heng's long sword, cutting off all branches and vines in its path, heading straight at the scar-faced woman.
"Not enough, not enough, not enough!" the scar-faced woman's face showed bloodthirsty madness.
Ground Burst!
Several successive earth fires joined together and rushed towards Jiang Heng from the scar-faced woman's side, and countless pillars of fire cracked from the ground and gushed out, as if a flaming devil was smiling fiercely.
The wind blade was disintegrated without resistance, but the pillar of fire rushed towards Jiang Heng unabated.
Djinn Vine Wall!
Countless huge vines burst from the ground, each one at least as thick as a human being, intertwined with each other, forming an incomparable vine wall.
The ferocious pillar of fire slammed into the huge vine wall, and the fierce scorching set off bursts of sparks, and in the end, it was able to resist.
But before the two could breathe a sigh of relief, a voice sounded from behind them, "It's too lax!"
A short thorn stabbed Jiang Heng's neck, Jiang Heng hurriedly put the long sword against his chest, and struck it upward, changing the castration of the short thorn, and the edge swept over his gray hair, and it actually broke a few strands.
But it wasn't over yet, the scar-faced woman took advantage of Jiang Heng's blow to leap in the air, and after a flip, she kicked Puburin in the chest.
"Ahh
"Patriarch Pubulin!" "There was no time to observe Publing's injury, "The wind is not enough!"
The index finger and middle finger were together, and the long sword was inserted into it and swept through, and in an instant, the cyan demon source instantly turned crimson, and then Jiang Heng pointed the sword at the sky.
Wrath of the Firmament!
The entire sky began to turn scarlet with Jiang Heng's words, and there was a slight distortion of the current situation, just after an instant, countless flames fluctuated from the sky and interspersed with the ground, as if the anger from the sky was about to tear the entire earth apart.
The focus of the flames was naturally the stunned scar woman, and after just a moment of stunned effort, several flames exploded around her, and the dust stirred up on the ground covered her figure.
Seizing this moment, Jiang Heng jumped to Pubulin's side and observed his injury, he was almost fainting, fortunately, Pubulin protected his chest with his arms at that time, although the injury on his hand was a little serious, but it did not hit the vital point, his back was quite complete.
"Patriarch, don't move yet, don't sleep, I'm ......" Jiang Heng rummaged through the bag, and at this moment, one of Pubulin's hands grabbed the hand that Jiang Heng was flipping through, and the other pointed to the place where the scar-faced woman was just now, "Don't worry about me yet! ”
As if to confirm Pubulin's words, a coughing laugh sounded from the dust, "Haha, cough, cough, boy, I really didn't expect you to be a dual-line swordsman, what was that trick just now? ”
The scar-faced woman dragged her embarrassed body out of the dust, her eyes full of madness and greed.
"I didn't expect to use this trick to defeat her, who is also a fire type. Jiang Heng shook his head helplessly, thinking, "It's just a matter of delaying time." ”
Jiang Heng pressed Pubulin's wound with his hand, and quickly took out a bottle of golden liquid in a finger-sized delicate glass bottle from his bag, which was a little viscous, like honey, "Don't worry, Patriarch Pubulin, I'm measured, you can rest first." ”
After saying that, he ignored Pubulin's dissuasion, and poured the bottle of liquid directly into him, "What is this......?"
The scar-faced woman walked unhurriedly in front of them, no more than a few dozen paces away, looking at them with interest.
"Boy, you just had a fire-based move, give it to me, and I'll let you go. "This is both a negotiation and a threat.
After pouring Pubulin, Jiang Heng said unhappily: "This is a joint move of the wind and fire systems, you can't learn it." What's more,"
Jiang Heng stood up again, drew his long sword, and waited for the battle, "I don't think you'll let us leave with a secret." ”
"I knew it at the time," she sneered, "but do you have a better choice?
"That's right, let's make a bet, if you can beat me, I'll give you the fire part of the trick just now, and if I win, just follow us, how about it?"
"You think you can beat me? Haha! It's ridiculous, but I accept it. Although she said that, the scar-faced woman was more dignified, "This kid dares to say this, there should be some kind of backhand, you must be careful." ”
"Then let's start!" Jiang Heng was surrounded by the demon source of the wind and fire system, carrying a long sword, and suddenly facing the other party, the fire borrowed the wind momentum, as if he had the courage of ten thousand people.
The Scarface Woman's face was also really serious, but she didn't seem to notice that the shadows around her were thickening......
