As a result, Ivan did not fall asleep at all.

Although everyone got up early this morning, walked for a while, and blew some cold wind, they were not very sleepy. Daphne seemed to be hanging her head and closing her eyes, but she also seemed to remain awake, and when Xiulin leaned towards her, she seemed to have finally overcome the contradiction in her heart, and gently pushed Xiulin, and Xiulin leaned on Carlo's shoulder. Carlo remained motionless and Nalle slept soundly on Ash's lap.

The journey had become a bit dull, except for the sound of wheels rolling over dirt roads. Is it out of caution that the chauffeur arranged by Daphne is also a calm man who will not talk to the passengers casually? Perhaps, what makes Daphne have some scruples is her relationship with humans as an alien, which can neither be too far nor too close, and must maintain a delicate balance.

The period of the Great Holy War has long passed, and the wariness of foreign races must also be an instinct of self-preservation. Devany's refusal to say something about it probably contained something that might upset the balance. The Yu clan and humans have different views on many things, and no one can force anyone, so it's best not to have contradictions.

It didn't take long for the carriage to stop in a small village.

There is no longer the desolate and desolate scene of the southern part of the sapphire town, full of fruit trees and farmland, and there are not many houses. The carriage they were in for a long journey had been converted from a caravan wagon, and the driver was two mature middle-aged men, one of whom got down from the carriage and knocked on the door. After resting for a while, the passengers on the bus went to a familiar shop on the side of the road to refill their water bags and buy something else.

Devany had apparently been here, and after greeting the rest of the coachman, she led the group around the village, which was not always comfortable.

"This is the climate in the south of the French country. ”

Xiulin crossed her waist on one side, covered her face with her palms, and looked at the increasingly hot sun from afar, and there was a faint trace of nostalgia in her voice. It was still some time before noon, but the temperature in this village was already about the same as it was in Sapphire Town.

"Me. I used to live in a village in the south. But it's not here. ”

"Miss Joan is Quere. Devonne's tone was not half confused, she stood a few steps away from Xiulin with an apologetic and somewhat stiff smile, "Qui is very welcoming. Every trip. They all had to rely on the help of these desert herders along the way. I like Qui very much. ”

"Passionate? Xiulin thoughtfully raised her index finger and tapped her plump lips with her usual movements. The corners of her mouth raised a slightly strange arc, "Does Miss Xue Ling often travel here? ”

She wrinkled sympathetically.

"Also, it's not often ......" Devany took a slight breath, as if she was a little panicked, and her gaze unconsciously moved down, "After all, I'm the Feather Clan of Arcatia......"

There seems to be something deeper in Daphne's words.

Ivan glanced at the headscarf she was wearing on her head and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Even Daphne, who loves travel itself, has to hide herself in order to travel in a foreign land. In this way, Daphne seems to have always been gentle and friendly, and sometimes a little cowardly, but ...... Devonne, who will take the initiative to ask wizards and magicians to help, can never be a coward.

"I used to live far from Alcatia. Xiulin sighed, as if caught in a memory, "You know, Kui doesn't usually go there." When I was a child, I didn't know anything about the city of the Feather Clan, which was in the same desert. ”

Where did Xiulin live when she was a child?Ivan chewed on this sentence, she must have lived somewhere in the Rebelo Desert when she was a child.

"What tribe does Miss Joan belong to?" Devany looked up, as if curious, "Perhaps, we'll meet Miss Joan's family on the way." ”

"Uh-huh, is this necessary? Aren't all tribes the same? Xiulin squeezed her eyes with a smile, she suddenly turned around, turned to Ai Xia who was speaking, and patted her head, "Your sister Xiulin is not homesick yet, little girl, don't be blind." ”

However, Xiulin's love is a little different.

This trip will take at least half a month, and in any case, I will have to stay in Kuyrang's place temporarily. Yesterday, Xiulin also said that she wanted to go back to have a look, isn't she homesick?

Xiulin never seemed to mention her family.

"Where did Sister Xiulin live before?" Na'er tilted her head and looked up at Xiulin.

"Well, I've lived in that Rebelo Desert since I was a kid. Xiulin squatted down and hugged Xiao Na'er into her arms, Na'er quickly turned around to dodge, but Xiulin reached out and grabbed her little hand.

"Don't run, little guy, when you get to the herdsman, Sister Xiulin will buy you dried fruits to eat." ”

"Is the dried fruit delicious?" Na'er really didn't hide, she blinked with relish.

"yes...... I didn't expect that after so many years, I still can't forget it...... The wines of Easte City are probably not as good as the Rebelo Desert, but unfortunately I didn't taste them back then......"

Xiulin seemed to be immersed in the aroma of the wine, and Aisha looked at her a little distractedly, and after a while, Aisha stammered and whispered.

"Yes, could it be that Sister Xiulin said she wanted to go back and see it because she wanted to drink wine?"

"Of course, it's not all wine, but the desert people's nǎi cheese and air-dried meat are also worth tasting, and hey, if only Kui Ren could be like the people of these countries, and do business with confidence and boldness, so that the good things can be sold and tasted without going back." ”

Xiulin slanted the corners of her mouth, and her expression couldn't tell whether it was emotion or sarcasm.

"But, but should there be something more important than wine and food?" "Aisha didn't understand Xiulin's strange train of thought at all, and didn't go home for many years, but only thought about eating and drinking, "I think—" Aisha raised her head sharply, "Miss Xueling, if you don't take a detour, we should go to Sister Xiulin's hometown!"

"That's what I thought, too. Devany said with a puzzled expression, however, Xiulin didn't seem to want to tell anyone more about herself.

Carlo watched Xiulin silently from a distance of about ten meters.

After a while, he rarely lowered his head, stood silently, and then, turning around, walked to the carriage not far away......)
