Chapter 14: The Kingdom of Shatuo
I thought that the person in front of me was Xiuxiu, but when I got up from the hole, I saw clearly that it was Sister Jing who was standing here.
"Why are you here?" I asked.
"Heh, in the middle of the night, the two of you ran to the wilderness, which is neither hygienic nor comfortable, I will come and ask you to go to my place, and I can give you the wind." Sister Jing said in a strange way, obviously she misunderstood something.
I just wanted to explain, but I didn't expect Xiuxiu to grab one of her arms and say with a chuckle: "Sister Jing, you are blessed, this kid's kung fu is really good, and I was able to understand it just now." ”
Xiuxiu is relatively innocent, after all, she is not very old and not deeply involved in the world. She sometimes doesn't think deeply when she speaks, and she looks ahead and backward. I wanted to explain, but she said, "Just now the two of us climbed together, I was on top, he was below, and he almost got it himself." ”
Sister Jing smiled: "The details don't need to be described, my sister is from here, let's talk about it when I go back." ”
It was already the middle of the night, and the entire campus was dead silent. At this time, if the three of us walked into the faculty dormitory, we might be discovered by a teacher who was still studying lesson plans and preparing handouts late at night. So, I proposed to go to Xiaoqian's place for one night. After that incident with the fat man, I don't think Xiaoqian will go to where she lives for the time being.
But Sister Jing refused to go, she insisted on going back to the faculty dormitory, and I didn't stop her. I took Xiuxiu out of the campus through the side door and went straight to Xiaoqian's residence. The reason why I refused to go to Sister Jing was because I was covered in mud in the abandoned building, and there were many sporadic abrasions on my body, which I had to take a shower when I went back. And Sister Jing has only one room there, and Xiuxiu is there, and some things are always inconvenient.
I didn't have a key with me, but my fingerprint was able to pick the lock.
When I opened the door and turned on the light in the living room, I noticed a faint glimmer of light from the crack in the bedroom door. "Could it be that Xiaoqian is back," I muttered to myself.
"No, I'm going to take a shower, I'm too dirty." Xiuxiu said as soon as she entered the door.
Immediately, the bedroom door opened. A girl, dressed in a white suspender nightdress, rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at us in surprise, and it turned out to be Xiao An.
"Who is she?" the two women asked in unison.
Xiao An ran a few steps to my side, hugged one of my arms, and looked at Xiuxiu vigilantly, as if declaring sovereignty.
"Heh, you kid is quite romantic" Xiuxiu said angrily, and then went into the bathroom by herself.
I was covered in dirt and had a few holes in my clothes. I let go of Ann and asked her why she was here. She said that Xiaoqian sent her a message and asked her to help take care of the house.
Xiuxiu took half an hour to come out, wrapped in a bath towel, without any regard for my feelings. I then went to the bathroom and saw that her clothes were all thrown in the bathroom. The water is extremely comfortable on the body, but whenever the water touches the abrasion, it will be hot and painful. It's a feeling of fire and ice.
Before I could wash up, I heard the sound of two women arguing outside. The water was rattling, and I couldn't hear what they were arguing about. In the middle of the night, I was afraid that they would disturb the people, so I quickly dried myself, wrapped a bath towel, and ran out of the bathroom.
It turned out that Xiuxiu's clothes were dirty, and she wanted to wear Xiaoqian's clothes, but Xiao An didn't let her. It's still good for me to say it, Xiuxiu took away a few of Xiaoqian's clothes. Because I often live here, I also have my change of clothes here, so I took two random ones to wear, which made Xiao An start to help me deal with the bruises.
There was no iodine or alcohol at home, so Xiao An brought me a bottle of liquor with more than 50 degrees to disinfect, and I didn't know if it worked, but the pain was real, and the liquor was sprinkled on the wound, just like a knife cut.
Xiao An asked again, "Who is that woman?" ”
I said a friend.
"Friends? In the middle of the night, lonely men and widows, disgraced, and covered with scars, I think you are caught and raped by other men! Xiao An said indignantly, and didn't forget to press my wound a few times with his hand.
She looked at me grinning, smirked triumphantly, and then began to imitate the sounds of men and women making love. I knew that she deliberately called Xiuxiu in the opposite bedroom, and I had nothing to do with Xiuxiu, so I didn't stop her.
It didn't take long for the door to the room to be kicked open with a "bang".
Xiuxiu was wearing Xiaoqian's clothes and stood at the door of the room. She looked at Xiao An with a self-absorbed face, and rushed over to hit her, if I hadn't blocked it quickly, it is estimated that Xiao An would have been hit this time. However, Xiuxiu's young lady's temper broke out, which should not be underestimated. She then pointed to the door, "You go out," she said to Xiao An.
Xiao An wanted to say something, but I knew that Xiuxiu must have a reason for coming, and she must have something to tell me alone when she separated Xiao An, so I had to appease Xiao An and let her go to the opposite room to rest first.
Xiuxiu saw that Xiao An had gone out, and she actually followed Xiao An's appearance just now, and screamed a few times, and then laughed herself.
"Let's get down to business, don't mess around here," I said.
"I really don't know what Sister Jing thinks, just such a thing as you, half-hearted, how can you be worthy of her. It's really a flower stuck in cow dung," Xiuxiu had a smile on her face, and her tone didn't sound friendly.
I immediately replied, "With such a thing as me, don't you still want to give me a baby!" ”
"That's because I'm going to slaughter your organs to heal my grandmother, don't be delusional!" Xiuxiu was a little angry when I choked on my words.
I said again: "Don't get down to business, I'm going to accompany Xiao An on the other side." ”
Xiuxiu then spoke: "The reason why I came here is because I accidentally found a notepad from my aunt, which recorded some things about their research. One of the last clues leads to this. ”
"There is a Shatuo country, have you heard of it?" She asked suddenly.
I nodded, indicating that I understood. That's when she continued.
She said that in her aunt's notebook, a research team composed of nine gates had arrived at the former capital of the ancient Shatuo kingdom. The Shatuo Kingdom, like the Ancient Shu Kingdom, is full of various legends and mysterious events. Although more than 1,000 years have passed, the research team still found some clues from the ruins buried deep underground.
The disappearance of the Shatuo Kingdom is traditionally believed to have been destroyed due to the attack of the Song army. In reality, it may not be that simple. You must know that at that time, the Shatuo country was located in the western border, deep in the mountains and old forests, not a prosperous and rich place, the Song army even the northern part of the land occupied by the barbarians, countless cities can ignore it, such an almost barbaric place, why should the Song army spend a lot of manpower and financial resources to fight for such a place? According to her aunt's notes, they learned from some historical stone carvings and epitaphs that King Shatuo may have mastered the secret of "immortality".
As an emperor, there is no one who does not want to live forever. The news that King Shatuo had mastered the secret of immortality spread far and wide, and soon reached the ears of the Song army. Some soldiers who wanted to be greedy for merit and receive rewards quickly reported the news to the above. The Shatuo Kingdom, which was originally hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, also ushered in a catastrophe.
Because of the high mountains and dense forests, there are many rare and exotic beasts growing in Shatuo country. There are even rumors that there were unicorns roaming in the mountains and forests at that time, and dragons lurking. Although these claims may seem absurd now, they were miracles for the people of that time.
Xiuxiu's aunt found an egg that she had never seen before in the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Shatuo, and brought it back to their base for further research. Because at that time, according to her aunt's age, the base at that time should have been the predecessor of this school.
Since the disappearance of the mysterious research team, Xiuxiu's grandmother has also searched for her, but there is no news. Now that Xiuxiu is an adult, she knows that her aunt is an unbreakable knot in her grandmother's heart, so she has been secretly investigating her aunt's affairs. This time she had come here in search of her aunt's old records.
Hearing her say this, I immediately asked, "What did you find down there?" Why are you fleeing in such a hurry? ”
She smiled mysteriously at me, "Just watch you come down and tease you!" Go to bed! With that, she fell unceremoniously on the bed.
