Chapter 10: The Vestments
"Ah...... My grandma, ahem, she doesn't speak. Elmo's face turned even redder, and he hurriedly stood up, helpless on the side, really not knowing how to explain, it was really getting darker and darker.
"It's okay, we understand. "The rough man Gongyang Jia is very jealous of the people in the bed. When I came in, I glanced at it, and I seemed to see the people in the quilt moving, but after listening closely, this old-timer's voice was light to nothing, and his breath was so long, could it be that he was a peerless master?
"Can you light a lamp? It's dark. "The woman named Jiang Lingwei was uncomfortable with the darkness of the cellar, so she made a request to Ai Mo, and she also wanted to look carefully.
"We're not afraid of the dark, it's always like that at night. Aimo explained. He had never seen a lamp, but he had heard his grandmother say that in the barren wilderness, there was a lack of supplies.
"Okay, we can hold on to it. Ge Junying was very understanding and took the initiative to relieve everyone. Now he has no child's voice at all, and he may have been shocked and frightened just now, but his voice has changed, so that Ammo mishears him as a child.
"Woohoo, woo!" the wolves outside lingered, circling around the cellar. From time to time, there was the sound of wild wolves scratching and crashing on the thick door panel, which made people's hearts furious. But they all know that the most dangerous moment is over, and as long as they hold on until dawn, the wolves will be able to disperse.
If there weren't so many wolves besieging together, the three of them would still be able to deal with it. This adventure encountered great bad luck, because of greed to chase and kill a seriously injured black-faced green wolf, it actually attracted wolves to hunt, not to mention the loss of four people, and also lost a lot of equipment, which is all money.
"What are you doing in such a remote place?" Aimo wondered, how could there be people who were adventurous everywhere, and it was not good to be safe at home?
"I'll tell you the truth, it's all greed. Jiang Lingwei seemed to be talking to the person in the bed, "A few days ago, I heard that there was a strange light in the sky here. These dead ghosts are not said to be treasures, there must be some peerless treasures in the world, and they are going to hit the luck. Who knows what treasure hasn't been found, and so many people have died. ”
"It's really Baoguang, I don't lie to you. Ge Junying insisted, "That day, my eldest brother and I were really not drunk!"
"Your second sister just doesn't believe it. Gongyang Jia took over the conversation, "Third child, I firmly believe that what I watched that day was Baoguang." Little brother, have you seen it?"
"What kind of light is so magical? Did I miss it when I fell asleep at night?" Aemmore really didn't know that the cursed light of the God of Light to exterminate the Night Clan had made the laity mistakenly think that the treasure was an omen of the world, and if Grandma Amo knew about it, she would definitely laugh and come back to life.
"It's not night, it's the evening the other day. Jiang Lingwei explained, she really hadn't seen it, and she had been skeptical in her heart, "You haven't seen it either?" It must be a hallucination caused by these two drunkards getting drunk." ”
"Maybe there were, I don't look at the sky very often. "I'm sorry, I'm really not used to looking at the sky, maybe he missed something.
"Little brother lives here and hasn't seen it, what do you two drunks say!" Jiang Lingwei became more and more annoyed the more she spoke. When I was besieged by wolves on the road, I hurt my face, I don't know if it's bad, and now I can't illuminate the dressing, if I leave a scar, go back and fight for them.
"Second sister, don't worry, we haven't searched for it yet. In case we dig up the treasure, we will send it, and we can live in the big city!" Ge Junying firmly believed in what he had seen, and actively encouraged, "Haven't you always wanted to live a life in the city, and you will have it then!"
"At that time, the money will be divided into half of me!" Jiang Lingwei felt more and more hot on her face, lest this adventure be disfigured, how could she live in the future.
"Okay, I'll share half of you!" Gongyang Jia agreed, "The three of us are of the same heart, and the benefits will be cut off!"
"Cut, what you said at the beginning was that seven people are concentric!" Jiang Lingwei was quick to speak, not so respectful of Gongyang Jia, the head of the adventure group, and also dissatisfied with this defeat. If it weren't for the fact that he coveted the wolf soul and chased after him relentlessly, he wouldn't have been able to get into these troubles.
"Second sister, our relationship is the deepest!" Ge Junying came out and said to the mud, "After so many years of ups and downs, don't let the old-timers see jokes." ”
I don't know if it was that sentence that moved Jiang Lingwei, and she stopped talking.
Aimo didn't know when he fell asleep, and with so many adults in the cellar, he felt safe in his heart, and fell asleep in a daze. When he awoke, it was already daylight outside, the cellar door was wide open, and the three of them had disappeared last night.
"Big Brother Gong, Second Sister Jiang, Third Brother Ge?" Ai Mo called a few times, but there was no response, this intimate title was arranged by Gongyang Jia last night, which made Ai Mo feel like a family all of a sudden. But when he woke up, the family was gone, and he was left alone. Aimo looked left and right, the cellar was a little messy, and Grandma's quilt had been opened. I guess they were very angry when they learned the details, so they went to look for the treasure as soon as it was dawn.
Getting out of the cellar, Aimo carefully inspected the door panel, which was crisscrossed with traces of wolf scratches, but fortunately, the wooden board was thick enough to block the wolves' torture. Looking around, the surroundings are dirty and messy, and the traces of wolves crossing the border are very obvious, but now not a single wolf can be seen, and it is estimated that they have all scattered to the wilderness to forage, and I don't know if they will gather again at night.
Be careful to close the cellar door, and Ammo will also go in search of food. When there are guests at home, we need to prepare some food, and if we encounter bad weather in the snow, everyone will be hungry. Now that the weather is better, hurry up and go to the red fruit forest to pick more wild fruits. Now there is a wolf Amor who is not afraid, there are three adults, as long as they arrive, no matter how fierce the wolf is, he will obediently die.
As usual, Ammo greeted the big stone as if he were seeing a silent family member, and then turned back to the east to pick wild fruits in the distance. The dirty cotton clothes on his body resisted the cold of winter, and he walked much lighter. The children were also in a particularly good mood today, humming a little song all the way to the place.
This thorny forest is still there, but there are many fewer red fruits on the branches. These days, a lot of birds and beasts have come here, and this fruity granary is almost gone. Thankfully, Aimmo had arrived today, and if it had been a few days late, there would have been only bare spikes left here.
While secretly rejoicing, while carefully plucking the wild fruit from the branches, Aimo's cotton clothes were tightly tied with straw ropes, and he would never make a mistake this time. Occasionally, you can hear the melodious birdsong playing, which makes the little farmer who is busy picking more relaxed, and if he is not worried about attracting wolves, he wants to sing a song.
At noon, Ammo, who had eaten a lot of wild fruits, carried a large bag of loot on his back and walked home happily. This time, there were no injuries on the body, no clothes were torn, and the wild fruits were picked almost perfectly. The little black stick was stuck diagonally on the straw rope around his waist, and Aimo strode with a sense of triumph of a general.
Under the warm sunshine, Aimo walked in a good mood. He looked left and right, there were no wolves in front, no wolves in the back, and no wolves next to the big rocks, and the journey was safe. But how could the cellar door be wide open, which made Aimo happy, was it the return of his brothers and sisters.
"Big brother, Second Sister Jiang, Third Brother Ge, I'm back!" Ai Mo shouted loudly, walking more briskly, and the burden behind him didn't feel heavy.
But when he entered the cellar, he suddenly found that the atmosphere was not right, and the three adventurers who were enthusiastic last night were now staring at him like a sinking face. The little cellar was a mess, and the quilts were torn apart, like a few wild beasts in the house.
"Say, why lie to us!" Gongyang Jia broke off, making Ai Mo chuckle in his heart, and Jiang Lingwei, who had a good face next to him, had even more fierce eyes.
"Big brother, second sister Jiang, third brother Ge, I didn't mean to lie to you, I ......" Aimo stammered, a little ashamed.
"Call Uncle!" Gongyang Jia interrupted Ai Mo and roared viciously.
"Uncle Gong!" Ai Mo was scared, the fierce light in Gongyang Jia's eyes was more afraid of people than the evil wolf next to the big stone, making him feel like falling into an ice cellar, and his teeth trembled, "Grandma is dead, I'm afraid alone, so I rolled up the quilt and pretended to be grandma." ”
"Then have you seen the baby?" Jiang Lingwei didn't care if Ai Mo was afraid of loneliness, she cared about whether the treasure of the world fell into Ai Mo's hands, this was their original intention for this adventure.
"I didn't. I don't know what to ...... baby" Elmo really didn't know how he knew about the Cursed Light, who was already frozen and unconscious in the wind and snow.
"Don't talk nonsense, let me search. Ge Junying, who opened the door in a child's voice, pulled Aimo over, pulled the straw rope and was about to search him. But the unique flexible material of the dirty jacket made him happy, this dirty cotton robe may be a treasure, why don't you tell the two of them?
Ge Junying's hesitation, Jiang Lingwei saw the doorway, and also reached out to pull it. As if she had discovered a new world, she shouted happily, "The vestments!"
Aimo was also shocked, this torn cotton jacket turned out to be a treasure? He really didn't know that Uncle Lan, one of the famous "Seven Sons of the Temple" of the Bright Temple, had all the extraordinary products on his body, even if he had a shirt in his hand, it was still a treasure.
This jacket is a high-grade magic robe only available to high-level light disciples, which is not only warm but also extremely defensive, so that it can resist the wind blade and wolf claws of the black-faced old wolf. But no matter how good things are, children don't know how to cherish them, so they wear dirty cotton robes that are buried.
Gongyang Jia once again let the top of the cellar touch, and he was very happy, and it took no effort to get it. The treasure they had been looking for for a long time didn't even know that it was right in front of them, but this time it was really an eye-opener. He had an idea in a flash of his eyes, and hurriedly stopped him, "Slow down!
"I'll take it off!" Seeing Jiang Lingwei, who was happy with her baby, her eyes were rarely full of warmth. She pulled away Ge Junying's reluctant hands, as gently as undressing her lover, ignoring the dirt and dirt of her clothes, and gently took off the jacket given by Uncle Lan. The three robbers gathered together with their clothes and admired them happily, and the tube of Elmo was shivering with cold.
"It's a good bright magic robe!Top-grade!" Gongyang Jia really knew the goods, and immediately broke off the level of clothes, "We are rich! We can go to the big city!"
"Wait!" Ge Junying was very reluctant to give up, after all, after selling this magic robe, he would have to give half of it to Jiang Lingwei, and he wouldn't have much left, "Look for it again, is there a treasure born, will there be anything else?" ”
"Okay!" Jiang Lingwei also saw the fortune, and slipped Ai Mo out of the broken quilt, whether he was ashamed or not, she stripped her whole body, and then threw it aside. The three of them rummaged for a while to see if there were any other treasures on the child, but this time they were disappointed, all of them were stinking rags, and there were no more valuable treasures.
