CHAPTER XXVI

Almost at the same time, inside the Provisional Elders of the Union on the outskirts of Dublin.

The report on the island operation is being reviewed by the elders of the various clans. Putting down the scroll in his hand, the Elven Clan Elder sighed, "It's really amazing, I didn't expect them to come up with this method. ”

The elder of the Feathered Serpent said helplessly: "I have to admit that it was done perfectly, and the entire island was destroyed, so the Holy See's clean-up operation had to be stopped. ”

The Snow Maiden Patriarch said coldly: "It's a pity that they still survived!" ”

The elder of the Giant Clan said: "This is also a helpless thing, who would have thought that Zhang Lie would apply for Kaluqi's registration card from us, and actually go to buy that thing." It's strange, why didn't Shawcony report it to us? ”

The elven clan elder was dissatisfied: "Who knows what he is thinking, this time he has completely failed. ”

The Elder of the Feathered Serpent Clan said regretfully: "But the fourth group has successfully completed the task and rescued so many of the same kind, I am afraid that we will not be able to control them in a short period of time." ”

Nodding, the elder of the Giant Clan slammed the table unwillingly: "There is no way, I have to ignore them for now." But this time it worked surprisingly well, aren't we..."

The werewolf clan elder who had not spoken for a long time said: "No, it is already the limit to use it once, if we provoke the nerves of humans again, I am afraid that both of us will die together." And I think that with this lesson, humanity will not dare to push us too hard, and the situation should ease somewhat, and the fourth group has done a good job. ”

"Elder, do you think those three guys who disrespect the Elder Regiment should praise them?" The elder of the Snow Maiden clan said sharply.

The werewolf patriarch raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to refute, but in the end he didn't speak.

The elven clan elder also agreed: "But the werewolf elder is right, the human race is likely to be jealous, if the situation really eases, I think it's time for the alliance to fight back." ”

The conference room fell silent for a while, and after a while, the elder of the Feathered Serpent Clan said tentatively, "You mean, the corpse battle troops?" ”

The Elven Patriarch nodded: "I have received a report that the final commissioning of the corpse battle unit has been completed and is ready to be dispatched at any time. ”

The Elder of the Snow Maiden Clan also said, "We have also made great progress in our negotiations with the Dragon Clan, and I believe that we will be able to win them over in the near future." In this way, the situation is indeed showing signs of improvement. ”

"Very well, then just wait for the moment, we have endured it for too long. When humanity relaxes, it's time for us to fight back. The elder of the Giant Clan said in a deep voice.

Humans, don't think you've won this war, the outcome hasn't been finalized yet!

*****************************************

Ying'er suddenly saw a strange person walking slowly from the other side of the road.

This is the twelfth day after she and Blatter broke up, and although she has accepted a large gift of money from Blatter, Ying'er, who has realized that she is weak, does not want to use the money. I said to myself in my heart that this single time was a great opportunity to practice, and I didn't want to be treated like a little girl who needed to be taken care of forever. So Ying'er decided to walk back to Tianqi Peak on her own feet and only use a small amount of money to eat.

For more than ten days, Ying'er has been in a hurry in addition to resting and eating, although it is hard, she has gained a lot of experience that she has never had before. Although it has only been about ten days, compared with Ying'er, who relied on her uncle for everything when she first came out of the mountain gate, she has matured a lot now.

On this day, she was resting on the side of the road at the foot of a large mountain in Guizhou, in a simple restaurant for long-distance bus drivers. The couple who opened the restaurant are local mountain people, very simple, and the delicate and lovely Ying'er is very popular with them, and the couple is talking to her non-stop, looking left and right very happy.

At this moment, Ying'er saw the man.

The rudimentary mountain roads are in disrepair, the asphalt is potholed, and the mountain wind blows dusty. A tall man walked slowly from the other side of the road, unkempt, covered in patched black clothes and trousers, covered with dust, like a wandering beggar.

But the sharp-eyed Ying'er saw that the man seemed to be walking very slowly, but he was striding with his head held high, his pace was even, and his speed was actually very fast. But in a moment he walked outside the restaurant, put his tattered cloth bag outside the door, and walked in himself.

Up close, the man was tall and bearded, but he was actually very young. A pair of eyes hidden under the filthy messy hair are bright. As if he had noticed that Ying'er was looking at him, he turned his head to look.

After all, the girl's face was tender, Ying'er quickly turned her head, and at the same time wondered in her heart, who is this? Why do I always feel a little uneasy when I see him?

"Do you have anything to eat?" The man said politely.

The couple who opened the shop were mountain people, and although the man was shabby, the two did not dislike it. The woman hurriedly stood up and tied her waist: "Yes, but at this time there are only noodles, 10 yuan although you are full." ”

Nodding, the man pulled out a cloth bag from his trouser pocket and pulled out a large crumpled pile of banknotes from it. Picking out one, he handed it to the male boss: "Give." ”

After taking a look, the male boss was surprised: "What is this?" ”

After a pause, the man replied, "It's money, isn't it enough?" ”

Ying'er peeked and found that the male boss was holding a pale yellow banknote, the pattern on the banknote was two workers and farmers holding rice, and the words "Shiyuan" were clearly printed on both sides of the banknote.

"What is this?" The two couples looked at it over and over again for a long time, and talked in a low voice.

If there is a collector of banknotes here, he will be able to recognize that this is a set of renminbi coins issued by the state a long time ago and has been discontinued. Now in the collector's market, such a complete banknote is already quite valuable, but ordinary people will not recognize it.

The man looked at the couple who couldn't stop talking nervously, and he said embarrassedly, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"You money... I've never seen one. The male boss handed him back the money with a regretful face.

"Huh!?" The man was taken aback: "How come, this is the coil handed over to me by the elder himself." ”

"It's okay, I don't think you like a white eater. It's inevitable to encounter such and such unpleasant things when you go out, so let's do it, I invited this meal, and it's not worth a few dollars anyway. The male boss said boldly.

The man was overjoyed, and he was about to speak, when suddenly a timid voice said, "Well, that..."

A few people turned their heads strangely and found that it was Ying'er talking. was looked at by several pairs of eyes at the same time, and Ying'er's face turned red. In her heart, she couldn't stop telling herself that it was nothing, and she mustered up the courage to say, "If you don't mind, just let me pay for you." ”

"Huh?" The man was stunned for a moment: "How can this be, I'm not here to eat." ”

The male boss also said: "Little girl, it's okay, I'll just invite him to eat." ”

Ying'er was embarrassed, and she explained with a red face: "No, I didn't mean that. It's just, just uh... My uncle used to say that when you go out, you rely on your friends, and when you see a bumpy road, you pull out... Ah, no, I didn't mean that. I thought, just a meal, just let me invite you, it's nothing..."

The more she talked, the more she didn't know what she was talking about, Ying'er was anxious, and her eyes were red and she almost cried. Seeing her appearance, the man smiled and said, "Then I thank you very much." ”

"Ah, that's okay." Ying'er wiped her eyes and burst into laughter.

The matter was resolved satisfactorily, and the boss and the proprietress went to the side to get busy, leaving only Ying'er and the man sitting across from her in the store. It's rare to sit so close to a strange man, and with the unprecedented "righteous act" she did just now, Ying'er's heart is still pounding, and her expression is a little strange.

The man frowned and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot that I stink." ”

When Ying'er heard this, she quickly raised her head and explained, "No, I didn't mean that. ”

Seeing her embarrassed appearance, the man cracked his mouth and smiled, revealing a row of white teeth.

Stretching out his hand to Ying'er, he said with a smile: "Thank you for the treat, my name is Chu Duan." ”

Without any hesitation this time, Ying'er reached out and shook his black hand: "Hello, my name is Ying'er." ”

After a while, the proprietress came up, Chu Duan stopped talking, hugged the big bowl and ate loudly, and then patted her belly with satisfaction after five bowls in a row, and Ying'er was dumbfounded.

Scratching his head embarrassedly, he smiled: "I haven't eaten for more than two days, hahaha." ”

Ying'er also smiled, and she asked, "It seems that you have been on the road for a long time, is there something wrong with coming out?" ”

Before the words fell, Chu Duan, who had a hearty smile on his face, lowered his head: "I'm looking for three people." ”

"Looking for someone?" Ying'er said: "I'm also around these days, you can talk about it, maybe I've seen it." ”

Chu Duan shook his head: "No, if you've seen it, I'm afraid it's..."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly glanced at the moon star light sword that Ying'er put on the side, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Standing up, he first thanked the shopkeeper and his wife, and then said to Ying'er: "Thank you for your face, the grace of dripping water, and you should repay it with a spring in the future." I'm leaving, farewell. ”

Saying that, Chu Duan threw the cloth tape containing the money on the table, and said to the shopkeeper: "It seems that the money in this is no longer usable, and it is useless for me to carry it, so I will give it to you as a souvenir." ”

Without waiting for the shopkeeper and his wife to answer, they strode out and grabbed their luggage and were about to leave.

Because of the feat just now, Ying'er felt that she also had "experience in the rivers and lakes", and somehow she had a deep affection for this young man, so she hurriedly stood up to say goodbye to the couple, and then chased out.

"Hey." Ying'er stopped Chu Dui: "Where are you going, if you stop by, let's take a ride together." I just heard that you don't have to pay for a car to pass here. ”

Glancing at Ying'er, Chu Duan showed his hearty smile again: "Car? Haha, I've never sat on this thing in my life. Thank you for your kindness, but I'm better off walking alone. ”

He waved at her and strode away, quickly disappearing around the bend in the mountainside.
