Chapter 629: Warm Fire in the Wasteland

As the night wore on, I checked my surroundings one by one and returned to the group.

There were five of us and one bird, the bird was imprisoned in the rattan, the two postman and my grandfather were all seriously injured, and Uncle Ershun was beaten by the hungry ghosts, although the injury was not fatal, but his strength was mediocre, and his recovery was relatively slow.

So at this moment, I am the only one responsible for protecting them, and it is the first time I have spent the night in the forest in the wasteland, and I am still worried that on the one hand, I am worried that the beasts hidden in the forest will come to raid, and even more worried about whether the mysterious person in the forest will reappear.

I always felt that the mysterious person behind the tree just now must have something to do with the release of Dahan and a few other evil spirits in the valley, and maybe it was the one who took away the venison I had hidden.

After thinking about it, I felt that I was afraid that this night would not be very peaceful, so I asked Ershun to help me pick up a large number of dead branches, build a fire frame, and then walked in front of the silver bird.

I'm going to burn a lot of fire to frighten the beasts or enemies that might appear in the middle of the night, and whether it will work or not, I'll at least be at ease.

Now that the Silver Bird's malice towards me had been completely removed, I pulled out the Demon Suppression Lock and scratched a few more times on the rattan that was a little tightly locked on its body.

I have long wanted to release it, but it can't be now, because although it has no hostility towards me, but he laughs and listens to it, and he has hatred all the time, in case he releases it, in the middle of the night or when, it secretly roars and releases a big fire, but it will be a big disaster, and he can only relax the rattan for the time being.

As soon as the rattan loosened, the silver bird barked at me so bitterly that I thought it was going to breathe fire at me, and took a step back.

When I came back to my senses, I realized that it was just too excited, and it was just expressing its gratitude to me, and I had the blood of the ice dragon in my body, so I was not afraid of fire, so why did I forget it.

I walked over to the silver bird again and smiled at it, "Brother Bird, do me a favor!" ”

I pinched a handful of dead branches and leaves and handed them to it, "Light a fire for me!" ”

The silver bird nodded excitedly, and howled at me, a large ball of fire erupting from his mouth, which instantly disappeared over my arms and chest.

If it weren't for my special physique, his voice would definitely burn me to death. I pinched the fire in my hand, and I thought it was a little funny, but now I am more and more able to adapt to the burning sensation of the heat, not only my body will not be damaged, but even the clothes I wear on my body will not be burned.

I lit the fire frame with the fire in my hand, and the fire spread instantly, in the dense forest in the middle of the night in this wasteland, this heart-warming fire quickly attracted laughter, and at the same time, grandpa and Ershun came to the fire.

Although several of them were injured, but under the fire in the middle of the night, everyone's mood improved a little, especially in the morning, they forcibly took out the steamed buns in the dry food bag with their injuries, stared at the flames silently, and gnawed on the steamed buns while roasting the fire.

No one spoke for a long time, and in order to break the slightly awkward atmosphere, I took the initiative to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now the two missing postmen in the postman's house have been found, and unfortunately one of them was killed by accident when he encountered a rootless tree. Now it is time for you to go back, and since the Postman's Office is determined to punish me, I will continue to stay here for a month, and then come out when the time limit is over. ”

A few people listened silently, and when my grandfather heard me say that I wanted to stay here, he was about to speak, and I motioned with my eyes for him not to interrupt me yet.

I added a few sticks of wood to the fire, "We all know that Lord Rooster is ambitious, and has coveted the position of postman in the middle of the night for a long time, and Lord Dusk will inevitably be persecuted when he returns to the postman's house, so it is better to stay here and be safer." ”

Xiaoting Shizu nodded, "Yes, I have nothing to do with the Postman's Mansion anymore, disciple grandson, don't call me Lord Dusk in the future, whoever likes this name can take it." ”

I smiled slightly and continued: "So, Master Xiaoting and I have to stay in the wasteland for the time being, no matter how deep the prejudice of Lord Shi is against me, I shouldn't bring personal grievances to my relatives, so, when you guys heal from your injuries, I beg Lord Shi to take my grandfather and Ershun to the place where a few adults in the Postman's Mansion may teleport to wait for them to take them back, okay?" ”

After saying a word, he finally spoke, he didn't look at me, but spoke to my grandfather, "He Yantian, you went to the wasteland to deliver the letter, it was indeed a hard trip, and an apprentice died, I shouldn't have been angry with you before, don't worry, I will take you master and apprentice back." ”

When I saw Tan Shi say this, I immediately stood up and bowed my hand to him, "Thank you Shi Shi Ancestor!" ”

He snorted and ignored me.

Now that a few of them are injured, it will take three or five days to recuperate, but I have an idea, so I continued.

"It's inconvenient for us to stay in this wild to recuperate, I propose that we go to the valley where the outlaws I met before live, where there is a valley to shelter and a wooden house to protect from the cold, you can rest assured that you can recuperate, how many of you think it's okay?"

"That's what the old man has the intention to do!" Grandpa was the first to agree.

"Far from it?" Xiaoting Shizu asked after hesitating for a moment.

"Half a day's journey! Shall we leave tomorrow morning? ”

"Good!" Although Xiaoting only said one word, his attitude towards me was not as hot and cold as before.

I didn't say anything, and after thinking about it for a long time, I nodded, still aiming at my grandfather, not at me.

Ershun's status in the postman's mansion was low, and it was not his turn to speak, so he didn't express his position, but I knew that as long as my grandfather agreed, of course he didn't have any opinions.

After the discussion, they each closed their eyes one after another to recuperate or meditate to heal their wounds, and because my strength had just improved, my heart was excited, and my spirit was full of energy, and I was not sleepy, so I took charge of the vigil.

Finally, the restless night passed, and the night was safe, and the mysterious man never appeared.

Early the next morning, it was time to go.

There is a problem between me and Xiaoting Shizu, that is, what to do with the big silver bird.

According to the meaning of the time and laughter, we should kill the silver bird and bring enough bird meat before leaving, so as to ensure that the food is sufficient.

Of course I wouldn't agree, and just as we were getting into an argument, Grandpa suddenly spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this bird cannot be killed, do you know what it is?"

At the same time, we asked, "What is it?" ”

Grandpa replied slowly: "In the sun, there lives a kind of sacred bird, named the three-legged golden crow, you all know this, right?" ”

We each nodded, who doesn't know the three-legged golden crow?

But the bird was obviously silver, not red and yellow like the three-legged golden crow.

Grandpa continued: "This bird is silver, naturally it will not be a golden crow, but the heir of a golden crow, which can be called a three-legged silver crow!" ”
