Chapter 107: Voices in the room
"Who is Lai Weng talking to? Isn't he in his own room?" Lamp Ke put his ear to the door in suspicion, and there was indeed a voice of speech inside the door, but the voice was very small and low, as if he was afraid of being heard. No matter how much he heard, he couldn't hear what they were saying, and in a hurry, he accidentally made a sound and was discovered by Lai Weng.
"Who?" Lai Weng pulled the door open, and the lamp Ke had no time to run away, so he had to stand outside the door awkwardly.
"Dengke?" Lai Weng seemed to be startled, but immediately he calmed down again. "What are you?"
Deng Ke laughed unnaturally, "Ah, come on, I'm ......," he said after a long pause, "I'm here to find you." I wanted to ask you something, but I didn't bother you when I heard that there was someone in your house. Hehe......" Deng Ke smirked as he looked into the room.
Lai Weng made a gloomy face and let the lamp Ke take a look, and there was no one in the room. "That's me practicing mantras, no one else. Ask if there's anything you want. He said angrily.
"Oh. Deng Ke felt very disappointed, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that there is a word I don't know, I don't know if you know." ”
Lai Weng frowned, "Under such difficult conditions, Lord Ye Zi Ke still has the leisure to read and write, but I really admire it!" After speaking, his eyes happened to meet the necklace around Deng Ke's neck, and an extreme hatred immediately surged above his head. "Say what!" he gripped the doorknob, meaning that he would go in without saying anything more.
"Ah...... That's the word. Deng Ke casually picked out a small character on the silk cloth that had been memorized, and compared it with Lai Weng's hand.
"Do you know?" he asked, expectantly.
Lai Weng thought for a moment and shook his head. "I don't know. What is that, and where did you see that?" he asked, confused.
The answer to this question has not been thought of in advance. He swallowed for a long time, and finally decided to put the matter on Shan Que.
"This is actually not what I want to ask, it was asked by the patriarch of Shan Que, I don't know, so I helped him ask you again. Because I've asked everyone else, they don't know each other, and since you don't know each other, there's no way, I'll go back and let him figure it out on his own. Goodbye!" Deng Ke said as he pretended to walk towards the patriarchs' room. After confirming that Lai Weng was back in the house, he breathed a sigh of relief and his brain was working again.
"It's strange! There was no one in the house, but I heard two people talking. Could it be the effect of his incantation? But why was he so alarmed when he first saw me? Why did he only let me see his room and not invite me in? And why did I always feel that something was wrong with his room, even though it was as empty as mine?...... Hey, I can't remember! If he had asked me to take a few more looks, I'd have figured out this place! But what does he want to do? What can he do in this situation?" Lamp Ke shook his head vigorously, "Forget it. Don't think about it. He is on our side no matter what he says, and his plot is directed against me at best. I have the protection of the Light Stone, what can he do to me? Maybe I'm too worried, maybe there's nothing at all, really, what am I doing in charge of others?"
As the days passed, Dengke's mood became worse and worse, but the mood of Yasi, Shiting, and the whole ship seemed to be gradually getting better. When they go to the garbage mountain, they are no longer bitter and frowning, but smiling. Deng Ke found that they were not tired of picking up garbage, but they were happy to do it, as if they were hunting for treasure.
They sometimes make several trips a day to the garbage mountain, and each time they return with a full load. They no longer put together what they pick up and divide it equally, but pick it up individually. They no longer live in a large room, they all live in a single room, and they are competing with each other for land to build larger single rooms. The moon ship is sinking day by day, their faces are getting better day by day, and the clothes they wear are becoming more and more exquisite and beautiful day by day. They all seem to have become accustomed to and even in love with this kind of life, forgetting about saving the people of the depression. In their minds, life has a new purpose, which is to go to the garbage mountain to find more delicious food, more beautiful clothes, and find more and better things. Then take it back to the boat and show it off to everyone, and then hide it in your own house. Deng Ke was very puzzled, he didn't understand why there were more and more good things on the garbage mountain, and why everyone was so obsessed with those things, so that the spirit of unity and hard work of the grotto army for thousands of years was destroyed. The daily unpleasant fight over one thing was commonplace, not only for the grotto warriors, but also for the patriarchs and the Astestine. Deng Ke wanted to go up and dissuade him, but he didn't know why he was too lazy to bother with these things. Now he just hopes that Zi Mu Dan and them can come back soon and end this chaotic life as soon as possible.
A month has passed, and Tushen and Zi Mu Dan's family still haven't returned. Lying on the bed, Deng Ke stared blankly at the symbols on the silk cloth, and suddenly felt that life was so boring. What is the point of saving the depression and saving the land! One day the universe will disappear and everything will cease to exist, so what is the use of doing this now? What freedom! What happiness! Not at all, it is all fleeting, it is all illusory, life is empty! He threw down the silk cloth and picked up the crystal pendant around his neck to look at it for a while, but this did not lift his spirit, but made him feel more sad. He remembered what Weng had told him again.
"I told Legus that you have been poisoned by the Misty Flower and that your life may be in danger. Klegus just nodded coldly, his expression very indifferent, as if he hadn't heard me. Or I pulled her to see you twice, otherwise, she might not have seen you at all. ”
"Your indifference is deserved, but when I am at the juncture of life and death, don't you care at all? Do you really love me......?" He sat up and scratched at his hair in annoyance, grabbing a few lice from above. Then he lay down again, took the silk cloth out of his pocket again, and pondered it.
"Look! What is that? What is it? Girl with wings?" suddenly there was a commotion outside the cabin, as if something strange had happened. (To be continued......)
