696. Why do you like sweet potatoes so much?
The group behind them has been on the way, and Ace will show them the way.
The group first returned to the Black Mountain and went out through the passage inside. But after going out, the place was not near Agenli Lake where they had first arrived, but another grassland that Shen Li and the others had not been to.
In this regard, several people are a little puzzled.
Shen Li asked Elder Li: "It's been a long time since this place has been away from Agenli Lake, so it should be far away from the lake you mentioned earlier." Did you take this route when you came here before? ”
Li Lao looked around, felt very strange, shook his head and said, "I haven't been here." ”
Li Xiangying, who was next to him, couldn't help but raise his hand and interjected: "I remember that Elder Li said that he had climbed over that black mountain before, and then walked a little further. The Evenki, who you just found, right? But we're going through the inside of the mountain. Elder Li, did you pass through the mountain before? ”
For this, Li Lao remembers it more clearly.
He immediately shook his head: "No. When I used to go, I saw black mountains, but there were no passages, and the mountains were not so high, just like a hillside, just climb up, turn over and climb down, and in the distance there is a high ridge. ”
Listening to what they said, Ace said lazily: "That was a few decades ago, and now the Evenki people have moved, and the place where they live is different from before, and of course the path they take is also different. What I'm taking you there now is the last place I saw the Evenki. But it's been nearly a year since then, and I don't know if they've moved. It doesn't matter, even if they move, I can find them. ”
When a few people heard this, they only continued to follow Ace.
They stopped and stopped, and before they knew it, it was evening, and the sky was getting dark.
Several people were tired from walking, and the older Li Lao couldn't hold it anymore, so he stopped and rested on the spot.
Hua Xu looked around, pointed to the right front and said: "There is a small leeward dirt slope over there, you can rest there, or stay overnight, it is warmer than blowing the wind here." ”
Hearing this, several people got up and looked at it, and indeed saw a small dirt slope, so they moved over.
Ace looked at the sky and said, "Don't leave tonight, let's spend the night here, and then leave tomorrow morning." ”
After that, he found the simple tent he had brought with him from the clan, and skillfully began to camp on the spot.
Several others did the same.
Shen Li asked Ace, "How far is it from the Evenki people's homeland?" ”
Archer replied, "Tomorrow will be another day's walk." ”
"Huh? How long is it going to take? Li Xiangying looked at her already painful feet and asked heartily: "Patriarch, don't you have any ability to travel through space?" Can't we make another crack, can we just go over? ”
Hearing this, Xu Ling and Li Lao immediately looked at Ace expectantly.
None of them really wanted to go that far.
Archer ruthlessly shattered their illusions: "Do you think I'm a machine that won't get tired? First, my body is much weaker than before, and it will be a bit difficult to use that kind of technique; Second, I had already used it once when I left the Half-Ghost Clan. The distance of that crossing was too far to wear a lot of time on me, and I couldn't use it again in a short time. I want to live a few more days until I see my sister. ”
Xu Ling was a little puzzled: "Do you have a lot of loss?" But at the end of the day, you can still walk ...... than we do."
"........." Ace turned his head to look at him and said, "Then I'll give you a simple and easy-to-understand example for you foreigners, have you ever seen a billionaire?" ”
Xu Ling nodded.
Ace said: "If a billionaire goes bankrupt and becomes a multimillionaire, in the eyes of ordinary people, he may still be rich and has no big impact, but for billionaires, it is already badly damaged, right?" ”
Xu Ling was stunned for a moment and nodded again.
Ah Ce smiled slightly, and said tolerantly: "So it's no wonder that you can't understand the patriarch, it's just that the patriarch is too powerful, and you can't reach the level of the patriarch." After all, even if the patriarch of this clan has suffered a great loss of vitality, he is still a little more powerful than you. ”
Xu Ling: "..............."
Damn it.
"He can even be angry with Shen Li, what are you going to provoke him for?" Li Xiangying looked at Xu Ling sympathetically.
Xu Ling wiped his face in convincing.
Shen Li set up the tent and said, "Okay, let's eat something and rest." There is still a lot of road tomorrow, so let's catch it early. ”
A few people should go down.
After Shen Li finished speaking, he was about to enter the tent to rest, but when he turned his head, he saw that Ace was already making a fire, and after lighting the fire, he took out a few sweet potatoes from his backpack.
She limped and slid along, and sat down across from Ace.
"I don't have a lot of food, two is enough."
Ace: "......? ”
Xu Ling and Li Xiangying also noticed it, and immediately followed, and sat down on Shen Li's left and right very obediently, and spoke as he spoke.
"Me two."
"I'm a man, and I have a lot of food, so I have to eat three."
Li Lao leaned over slowly and sat down in the open space, "I'm old, I can't eat too much, just one." ”
Ah Ce looked up at Hua Xu, the only one who didn't sit over, only sitting cross-legged in front of his tent, who didn't take care of his hair and was not interested in them, and then looked at the four people in front of him who were full of the four big characters "Waiting to be fed", he: "........."
"Are you serious?" Ace said.
"Why don't we come here and do it? Is it a fire? Shen was puzzled.
Li Xiangying snapped her fingers: "Yes, you have to bake the fire, it's cold at night." ”
Xu Ling and Li Lao immediately stretched out their hands and approached the source of the fire.
Ace: "............"
Ah Ce looked at the sweet potatoes that he only had nine, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Didn't you each bring something to eat?" What do you come to eat me? ”
"You're the only one with sweet potatoes." Shen Li naturally, "We are all dry cakes, where are the sweet potatoes delicious?" Or exchange it with you? ”
Ace lowered his head and stirred the fire, refusing with a dark face: "Don't." ”
Having said that, he buried all the sweet potatoes he had brought with him in the fire.
Li Xiangying couldn't help but be a little curious: "Patriarch, do you like to eat sweet potatoes very much?" ”
"I don't like it."
"Then why did you only bring sweet potatoes? I heard Shen Li say that when she saw you twice, you were baking sweet potatoes. ”
Li Xiangying thought for a while, "Could it be that only sweet potatoes can be roasted in the half-ghost clan?" ”
"......" The corners of Ace's mouth twitched again, and said, "Of course not, no matter how poor my half-ghost clan is, I won't be poor to that extent." I eat sweet potatoes because ......"
He paused.
Several people looked at him.
Ace was silent for a few seconds and said, "When I was a child, I had the impression that I, my sister...... And the former patriarch, for the first time, we sat down for a quiet meal, and didn't say anything else, except that when we had a meal together as a family, we ate sweet potatoes. ”
Only that time, he felt like ordinary people, and nothing happened.
Later, my sister came back a few times, and the former patriarch would also cook sweet potato porridge for my sister, and he looked at his sister and him with the same eyes at that time.
But each time it is more complicated.
Until the end, my sister never ate with them again.
He also didn't eat with the previous patriarch again.
Man is a very complex creature, obviously hated to death at first, but when the light passed, the person was gone, and he began to constantly think of the good times in the past.
Now, he will always be the only one who eats sweet potatoes.
