Chapter 55: Ripples
As a young boy who is not deeply involved in the world, Qingkong naturally can't detect the girl's careful thoughts, but he also feels a trace of strangeness, and Mu Tian and Lu'er's attitudes just now are a little abnormal. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info especially, when the two girls are looking at each other, their eyes do not look evasive.
"Could it be ......" Qingkong suddenly remembered that the golden fat man had told him with a wicked smile in the past that there were many women in this world who would also fall in love with each other, and he didn't believe it, but now seeing the two of them, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "Could it be that they are the kind of women that the fat man said?"
While still thinking nonsense, Lu'er squirmed a few thin lips and began to introduce himself.
"I'm a Phantom Clan from the Strange Continent of the Cloud Forest, and my name is Miyue Keys," Lu'er smiled, her green eyes flashing, "Still, I like people to call me Lu'er." ”
"Phantom Clan?" Mu Tian's expression tightened, and he suddenly became alert.
She thought that Lu'er might have some kind of relationship with Qingkong, but she definitely didn't expect that she was a phantom. In a place as racially sensitive as Ryugo, the sudden appearance of a foreign race always reminds people of something bad.
Seeing that Mu Tian's expression instantly became a little stiff, Qingkong hurriedly explained in order to avoid misunderstanding: "That's the case...... Lu'er was caught by the hateful slave owner in the Yunlin Trick and then taken to the East City to sell. It just so happened that the fat man and I were going to see the slave ...... Belch...... I wanted to go to the East Side to buy something, and when I saw that she was so pitiful, I bought it and gave her freedom. ”
Jin Ming also saw that the atmosphere was a little tense, so he nodded violently to prove that what Qingkong said was true.
Mu Tian heard Qingkong's explanation, although his expression was relieved, he still found a problem, and said coldly: "Since she was free when she was in Dongcheng, then why is she still here now? You know, Dragon Valley is a forbidden place for the human race, not to mention foreigners, even if the people of this clan do not have the strength to recognize, they will not be able to enter." ”
Mu Tian's words also reminded Qingkong that he wanted to know why when he saw Lu'er here from the beginning, but because they had been running around, he didn't have a chance to ask why.
Qingkong turned to Lu'er, his eyes were full of doubt, but he was sure in his heart that Lu'er would never come here because of any intentions, and she must have her troubles.
In the face of Mu Tian's questioning, Lu'er didn't feel anything, but naturally told her story: "After being rescued by Brother Xiaokong in the slave market in Dongcheng that day, I was targeted by several hateful slave owners. ”
"What? those damn slave owners!" Qingkong's face darkened instantly, he didn't expect this to happen after Lu'er left him, no wonder she wanted to follow him in the first place, she wanted to protect her, but he ignored it as a joke.
Lu'er smiled at Qingkong, signaled him not to blame himself, and continued: "So, in order to avoid them, I left Dongcheng, but I didn't dare to take the avenue and had to walk around from the country road. After walking for a few days, I still did not get rid of the gang, during which I passed through a village, which was full of simple fishermen who made a living from fishing, and I was afraid of causing them trouble, so I did not dare to stay in the village, but walked through the village to the deep forest behind, and went deeper and deeper, and finally came here. ”
"It's all my fault, I didn't let you follow me in the first place, and I made you suffer so much......" After listening to Lu'er's words, Qingkong still said with self-blame.
"No, no, no...... Brother Xiaokong, it's not your fault, don't you think I'm doing well now?" Lu'er hurriedly said, she didn't want Qingkong to feel guilty about her, after all, saving her in Dongcheng was already the greatest favor, "Besides, I didn't suffer at all, Lu'er originally lived in nature, and he was very comfortable in it, but he didn't know that this was a forbidden place for the human race, so if there was anything offended, I hope you will understand." Lu'er's last sentence was obviously for Mu Tian, proving that she didn't have ulterior motives for coming here.
Mu Tian nodded his head, but after all, he was a foreigner, and there was still a trace of mustard in his heart. However, she thought about it for a moment, and in Lu'er's description, she discovered a huge secret, that is, there was another entrance in the Dragon Valley, which meant that even if they missed the time when the artificial passage to Qingyun City opened a few days later, then they could go out through the entrance where Lu'er entered, but if this entrance was known to others......
"Lu'er, did you just say the fishing village?" Qingkong searched in his mind for a place where it had appeared.
Lu'er nodded, not denying it.
"Could it be the northeast region, the source of vitality, the village near the Endless Sea?" Jin Ming said with a roll of his round eyes.
"Do you know this place?" For some reason, Mu Tian's tone towards Jin Ming was obviously much kinder than that of Qingkong.
"You know, all the villagers in that village make a living from fishing, and Xiaokong and I have been there a few times, but it's all to eat the fresh fish they caught. At the mention of eating, the fat man smacked his mouth, intoxicated by his imagination, as if he was chewing on the delicious fish in his mouth.
When the fat man noticed that several people were looking at him with disdain, he realized that he had gone off topic, so he scratched his head and continued: "Uh...... The village that Lu'er said should be there, I've seen the map before, and it is indeed the border with the Dragon Valley. ”
After Qingkong found out that everything was clear, the worries in his heart also dissipated, he had actually been worried about Lu'er, worried that she really couldn't explain clearly, and when the time came, Mu Tian's character would definitely embarrass her.
"Now that everyone knows my name, and I already know Brother Xiaokong and Brother Jin Ming, what should I call this sister?" Lu'er turned to Mu Tian, her eyes met her narrow and beautiful eyes, and asked with interest.
"The capital of the pasture, the pasture. Mu Tian introduced herself in a light tone, although her expression was now soothing, she didn't want to be too close to the foreigners, not to mention that her heart was already filled with other things.
Seeing that Mu Tian no longer seemed to question Lu'er's identity, Qingkong and Jin Ming were slightly relieved, and didn't pay much attention to her somewhat cold tone.
"What is the deer going to do next, after all, this place is full of wild beasts and other unknown dangers, and it is not a place to live for long. Qingkong asked with concern.
Although Qingkong's words were simple, they warmed Lu'er's heart, and this feeling had not been felt since she left the house, but was replaced by all kinds of evils in the world.
She also understood that when she wanted to get out of the trick of Yunlin and see the outside world, why her father, who was the head of the house, was so strongly opposed that she could only sneak out, and she was caught by the cunning slave owner just after sneaking out of the trick of Yunlin......
"Of course I'm going home, I haven't heard from me after being away from home for so long, I guess the family has already been messed up, but can I leave here with Brother Xiaokong before this?" Lu'er blinked and asked playfully.
"Of course, when you get back to Qingyun City, Brother Xiaokong will take you to have a good meal first, and then hire the fastest griffin to send you home. Qingkong patted his chest and reassured, although he was somehow reluctant to say goodbye.
"Thank you, Brother Xiaokong......" Lu'er chuckled and thanked him.
Mu Tian glanced at Qingkong, his lips moved as if he had something to say, but he still didn't say it, but silently picked up a dead wood and threw it into the bonfire.
And the change in her expression and movements happened to make Jin Ming find out. Ever since Qingkong reunited with them, Mu Tian's state had been a little abnormal. Although she was cold before, after this period of life and death, Mu Tian's attitude towards them was obviously as sincere as a friend, but after Qingkong came back this time, she returned to the cold girl she was when she first met.
Jin Ming was thinking about what was wrong with her, making her so cold, and suddenly he suddenly turned his gaze to Lu'er, and the fog in his heart suddenly opened up......
"Okay, it's not early, everyone have a good rest, we're going to ...... tomorrow morning Return to Qingyun City!" Qingkong said with some excitement.
He was finally able to return, and the circumstances that had happened during this Ryugu training were enough for him to go back and tell others for several days. Thinking of Qingtian who had gone back ahead of schedule, Qingkong still really missed it a little, looking at the fat man who was sleeping on the ground next to him, Qingkong unconsciously had a trace of pride on his face, he shouldn't have thought that I could also bring back a dragon, right? Although there are still some things that have not been clarified, about his own bloodline, and the dragon crystal in the leather bag......
After saying that, Qingkong stretched out his hand and yawned, the sleepiness had crept in, and he had no time to worry about it so much, now he just wanted to sleep well and embark on the journey home full of energy tomorrow morning.
Mu Tian silently walked to his place and lay on his "bed", which was covered with stones and hay, and a few small flowers were planted around it, revealing a hint of girlish heart. She looked at Qingkong, who was still helping the phantom girl clean up the "bed" not far away, and a trace of inexplicable ripples appeared in her heart.
Mu Tian closed her eyes tightly and forcibly expelled the ripples from her heart, but she didn't know that the ripples in her heart were like waves in the water, and the more they expelled, the more unstoppable they became......
