Chapter Seventy-Three: The Story of Lai Weng

After toasting for a while, Lai Weng turned to Lamp Ke, and he said with a smile, "Lamp Ke, don't you want to tell us all the story of how you were separated from them? We'd love to hear how you and Leguth got together and how you got here. ”

Everyone at the table looked at Lan Ke with a smile, expecting his narration. Deng Ke became nervous, and asked him to tell Yas, Shiting, and Tushen that it was okay, but if he was in front of so many people, and Legus was present, how could he let go of it? If he didn't speak well, everyone would laugh at him, how could he get it? His face flushed, and he said perfunctorily:

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that as soon as I got separated, I was in danger, it was Jing, ah no, Legus, she, she saved me, and we ran together. ”

"Boy, we can't hear what you're talking about. Several old people on the table who didn't know Ke shouted sideways.

"Oh. Lai Weng hurriedly explained, "Dengke, they are our elders here, they are old, and they have some ears behind their ears, so you can speak loudly." ”

"Not only can't they hear it, but I can't hear it!" Ya said everyone's thoughts without mercy. "What are you talking about buzzing like a mosquito?"

Lamp Ke's face turned even redder. He had to raise his voice and tell everyone the story of being separated from them. Everyone, you and I asked in detail, so that he almost said everything when he wanted to talk about it, but when he talked about the words that the waiter said to him, Xiao Nan stopped him and covered it up very skillfully. Only then did Deng Ke realize that he couldn't say everything, and he didn't know everything, there were some things that everyone understood, and some things were reserved, Xiao Nan was like this, Tuno was like this, and even Yasi was like this.

"It's really fate, and it's all here that we all meet. You are Leguth's land stand-in, and they are your and Mugoran's mutual friends. Lai Weng pointed to Xiao Nan and the others and said, "Before you and Legus came, I asked them what they planned for the future, and if they would also go back to Lengshan with us? You and Legus are here today, and you heard that. Dengke, make a decision, why don't you go to Lengshan with us to live a peaceful and happy life?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Deng Ke again. Confused, he clearly remembered that the waiter had told him that he would take him back to the land, and he still hoped that Legus would accompany him back. Now there seems to be another choice in front of me, go to Lengshan. That must be the hometown of the Cold Mountain people, they just said that the Star Messenger will bring them back to Cold Mountain, should Legus also go back with them? Aren't they ready to join the righteous Grotto Army? No, this should be Tuno's personal decision, Legus has just returned, she will convince her father.

"What do you mean, are you all going back to Cold Mountain?" he said, looking at Legus, who was silent as he stared at the glass.

"Yes, we have finally found the Star Emissary, who can open the way back to the Cold Mountain and take us home. Although you are not from Lengshan, but you are friends with Mugulan, if you have nowhere to go, go back with us, we Lengshan people are very enthusiastic. An elder said with a friendly reassurance.

"No, no, no!" Tu Shen hurriedly waved his hand, "Thank you for your kindness, I don't think Dengke plans to go with him, he wants to go back to his hometown like you, so we will leave here to go to different places after you get on the road." With that, he looked at Xiao Nan and then at Yasi and Shiting, and they all gave him approving glances.

"Oh, have you already decided?" asked Lai Weng in surprise.

"Yes, we'll be gone in a few days, so I hope you'll take us in for a few more days. Jass pleaded.

"That's where you are, everybody's your own people. You can stay as long as you want, but we'll be on our way in three days, and you'll have to fend for yourselves. "Lai Weng looked a little sorry.

"Thank you! Xiao Nan had already raised her glass, and Deng Ke looked at her with a puzzled face, and had to drink another glass.

"I wish you all a safe home. Lai Weng returned a glass of politeness to Xiao Nan and the others, and Deng Ke only felt that his stomach was about to burst.

After chatting casually for a while and eating for a while, Lai Weng, who was drunk, told his story.

"The legend that everyone hears is that seventeen years ago, there was a Lengshan man named Lai Weng who was killed on the White Snow Mountain for violating the laws of Lengshan. After that, he turned into a storm and raged everywhere on the snow-capped mountains to vent his resentment. Actually, the man who was killed was my father, and his name was Lai On. In order to protect my mother and the unborn me, he led away the soldiers of the cold mountain alone and died at the foot of this mountain. And my mother died when I gave birth, and I was raised by these elders who couldn't go back to Lengshan. Lai Weng pointed to the elders who were sitting again, and the elders all smiled kindly.

"I was born with the ability to create storms, and the soldiers of the Cold Mountain didn't know that my mother was dead, and they wanted to come to find her, but every time they were swept up by my storm and died there. Then came the legend you called, and I was called by the same name as my father. ”

"Oh!" Tuno asked thoughtfully, "I've heard about it, your father was hunted down for the crime of smuggling, and they didn't want to stay in the depression forever so they secretly escaped. Right?"

"Not exactly. An elder took over, "His mother overheard the conversation between the keeper and the king of the island, and knew that the road back to Lengshan was blocked, and no one could go back, so she told the people around her about it, and somehow it reached the ears of the keeper. The Keeper secretly killed everyone who knew about it, leaving only her mother, a strong and intelligent woman who died after giving birth to Weng and telling us this. ”

"And how did you get here?" Tuno asked.

"We are all old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers of the Cold Mountain," said another fat elder, "because it is useless, he said that he would send us back to the cold mountain." Who knows, but it is to take us to the purple ocean and kill. Some of us fled to Baixue Mountain, found this Baiyan cave and hid. Later, when Lai Weng was born here, we have the protection of the storm. No Cold Mountain soldiers could come here, so we saved more and more waste Cold Mountain people here. It's okay to stay here if you want, but I didn't expect that this kid is very capable, and when he grows up, he actually finds out that the key to return to Lengshan is with you. We wanted to steal it, but then we heard that you were going back to Lengshan, so we inquired about your itinerary, but I didn't expect you to be on the White Snow Mountain. Isn't that providential, you say?"

"Yes, yes!" the other elders laughed and muttered to each other, "Providence, providence!"

"I didn't expect you to end up like us. "This is called self-inflicted!" Yasz and Stine agreed.

Several elders bowed their heads in shame, but Tuno laughed, he raised his glass, and said very sincerely:

"I'm going to take you back to the cold mountain! Everyone raised their glasses, and Deng Ke had to continue drinking, just halfway through the drink, he couldn't stand it, he couldn't care about anything else, he covered his mouth and hurriedly ran into the bathroom of his bedroom and vomited.
