Chapter 963: Man is an animal that is afraid of loneliness
The sky was filled with dense black clouds, thunder bursts, blue lightning intertwined in the black clouds, and the air was filled with strong source stone fluctuations.
"Boom!"
It was as if a brewing storm had reached a critical point, and dozens of lightning bolts as thick as giant trees fell from the sky, stirring the earth with flying sand and rocks.
The summer breeze stood quietly in the whirlpool of this storm.
Lightning kept falling beside him, and the splash of sand and gravel cut through his clothes, but even then, he didn't move.
For not far from him stood a man with a sword.
The sky was dark, lightning and thunder, accompanied by the surging and falling lightning, and the dark yellow source stone bushes grew on the earth at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a ten-meter-thick bolt of lightning fell between him and the man like a blue dragon.
Because the light was too strong, he couldn't see the man's face clearly, and at the last moment, he only saw a cherry blossom long knife breaking through the lightning, and the next second, the blade had sunk into his chest.
.....
.....
"Ahh
In the bedroom, Xia Feng suddenly woke up from his dream, and this scream startled the bagpipes who were making breakfast in the kitchen.
The door is opened, and the bagpipes poke their heads in with a stir-fry spatula.
"What the hell is your name?"
Xia Feng was covered in cold sweat and sat on the bed, his chest rising and falling violently.
"I, I had a dream."
The bagpipes pouted.
"How old are you, you can still be scared by nightmares, it's really yours, get up quickly and get ready for breakfast."
"Oh."
Seeing that Xia Feng was a little distracted, the bagpipes knew that it was just a dream, and finally asked softly.
"Well, what did you dream about?"
Xia Feng's expression was a little dazed, and he just muttered back.
"Acts of God."
After waking up, the dream gradually faded, and based on only the fragmentary scenes, the dream should indeed be a natural disaster area.
But in addition to natural disasters, there seems to be another person.
.....
Since Sakura Wuyun left, Xia Feng's life has returned to peace.
Of course, life on the West Coast has always been peaceful, but the previous life was poor in addition to peace, and now, he has money.
Sakura Wuyun spent 1 gold to buy a sandworm for him, don't look at a small gold coin, but it solves a big problem, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a huge amount of money.
After all, when he built this house, he bought the supporting building materials, and it cost 1 gold.
It's just that since he learned about the dispute that Dongzhou and Xichuan were about to face from Sakura Wuyun's mouth, there was always a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
To be reasonable, all the rulers in history rely on wars to determine the winner, everyone wants to be the boss, you can't rock-paper-scissors, it must be who is more ruthless and can be the king.
With the development of the times, sooner or later, the three-legged stand of the eastern kingdom will be broken, and the dispute between Dongzhou and Xichuan is just a prologue.
This kind of thing had nothing to do with him, an outsider from Victoria, unless the two families fought all the way to the south coast, trampling the seedlings in his garden, he might be a little angry.
But it's just angry, to put it bluntly, he's here to live in seclusion, if it really comes to that day, it's a big deal to leave, can't you afford to provoke and hide.
That's right, that's his current state of mind.
He is not an idler, he has no time to intervene in all disputes, and he has more happy things to do than to make mud.
.....
The area along the south coast of Xichuan is naturally isolated from the world, and the reception of news is very slow, and even many villagers do not know the name of the head of the Nishinomiya family until now.
Of course, everyone's livelihood has not been affected, the coastal villages should be fishing, the mountain villages should be planting, and the hunting should be carried out without delay.
Although the 1 gold given by Sakura Wuyun is a lot, it will only be spent sooner or later, and in order to make a living, Xia Feng began to sell sandworms in the town again after a period of time.
At noon, when Xia Feng appeared in the town with an ox cart, it immediately became everyone's attention.
Because he had tasted his benefits before, the stall owners who passed by greeted him with a familiar acquaintance.
"Little boss, I'm selling sandworms again."
Xia Feng smiled and nodded.
"Yes, here we go again."
"I haven't seen you in days, and we thought you weren't coming."
"Harm, something, I'll come often from now on, no way, for the sake of life."
....
This time, Xia Feng is really serious about doing business for life, and correspondingly, the price of sandworms is no longer an unattainable sky-high price of sandworms, and it has become much closer to the people.
The sandworm is no longer sold whole, but will be broken down into many pieces like pork, such as the sandworm head, sandworm tail, and sandworm legs.
An adult sandworm can be broken down into about 10 parts, and the price of each part is about 1 silver, so it seems that it is 10 times cheaper than the previous 1 gold and 1 piece.
Of course, this price is still very expensive for the villagers, but it is barely enough to grit their teeth and accept it.
To put it bluntly, who doesn't have dumplings for the New Year.
Now that autumn is in season, the weather will soon get cooler, and the summer wind speculates that the activity of the cold-blooded creature will slow down in winter, and if it is only caught on the coast, the number will be very small, and it will be difficult to catch one in a few days.
Therefore, he doesn't ask for good business, after all, the supply is not available.
A sandworm is pulled to the town and decomposed into seven, seven, eight or eight, as long as he can sell them all, he will have an income of close to 10 silver, which is already a small local tyrant around Nanwan Town.
.....
The wallet gradually swelled, and the small days are getting better and better.
As the days passed, autumn became stronger and the weather cooler.
At the request of the bagpipes, Xia Feng bought the materials for the vegetable greenhouse in the town, called Xiaohui and Kuta, and everyone worked together to arm a piece of land.
As time goes by, life becomes more and more regular.
People can't live without dreams, even if it's a very chicken dream, there must always be a head.
Now Xia Feng, who has no worries about food and clothing, has a dream.
In his spare time, he would always go to Sandworm Bay to look for sandworms, and whenever he found nothing, he would sit in front of the altar built by the ancestors of Minamino Village, looking at the sandworm island in the distance.
Whenever this happens, Xia Feng thinks to himself.
If only he could kill the big guy in the sea, then he would no longer have to steal chickens and dogs to find sandworms, but would be able to row to the island and look at the sandworms all over the mountains and smirk.
The deep sea monster was too large, and although the bagpipes were strong, they were not sure of victory, so he didn't dare to let the bagpipes take the risk.
Among the people he knew, it seemed that they were almost meaningless, such as the Red Knife, Lapland, the Three Wolf Brothers, etc., and Ifrit was even more killed by Hakke.
If you let Froststar come, you might be able to freeze the sea, but in that case, the sea monster might dive into the deep sea, and as long as you can't kill it with one hit, it's still useless.
Looking at the sandworm island looming in the sea fog, this mood of not being able to see it still makes Xia Feng very depressed.
.....
Man is an animal that is afraid of loneliness, and although he is not lonely now, sometimes he still can't help but miss those familiar faces.
This is true of him as a self-proclaimed peacemaker, and certainly even more so with the bagpipes he has always lived with.
Someday.
After the bagpipes took care of the vegetables in the vegetable garden, they suddenly came to Xia Feng and said.
"Xia Feng, I want to discuss something with you."
Xia Feng sat in the pergola, and because the weather was getting cooler, he kept wearing a red scarf.
Putting down his teacup, he looked up at the bagpipes.
"What's so serious?"
"That.... I want to go out for a walk. ”
"Going out for a walk? Going to town? ”
"No, a little farther away."
"Far away? For example? ”
"Dragon Gate."
Xia Feng was stunned for a moment, and asked a little confused.
"Longmen? What are you doing at Longmen? ”
The bagpipes sighed, their voices squirming.
"I think Chen Chen, when I graduated from the Guards Academy, we agreed to meet once a year, either she came to me or I went to her, but since the tension in Victoria began, we haven't seen each other, and now that it's finally calmed down, I think, I want to go and see her."
Speaking of which, Xia Feng remembered.
At the beginning, the bagpipes said that Officer Chen Huijie of Longmen was her classmate when she was at the Guards College, and the two were very good friends who talked about everything.
