Chapter 34 Conventions
Straighten the last stone.
Gorman looked at the stone tombs in the woodland by the lake, and fell silent.
After a while, someone next to him handed him a bouquet of flowers.
"The stones alone are too cold. ”
The bouquet was made by Lu Jing and Xu from wildflowers on the shore of the lake, and they did not participate in Gorman's action to build a tomb, which was not what they should do.
Taking the bouquet and placing it on the top of the tomb, Gorman got up and looked around, as if to remember what was around him, and said softly,
"This place is beautiful, Nia, you should love it. ”
Lu Jing hugged the cat and bowed to Xu Chu briefly, then withdrew a few steps, standing next to him and waiting for Gorman.
The time of remembrance did not last long, Gorman stood in front of the tomb for a while, then turned around and walked towards Lu Jing, and said in a muffled voice,
"Thank you, if it weren't for your help just now, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get out of that open space. ”
"You don't have to see the outside like this, the right is to repay the favor you helped before. ”
Lu Jing waved his hand, he didn't want the other party to think that he wanted to earn favors, and pointed in the direction he came and continued,
"Our ship is docked over there, and if you need a boat, we can take you, after all, those bounty hunters...... The mood is not very good right now. ”
"I rented a boat when I came and thanked both of you for your kindness...... I still have some things to accomplish, goodbye. ”
Gorman expressed his gratitude again, and immediately turned to leave, Lu Jing behind him wanted to open his mouth to stay, but he couldn't open his mouth.
People's friends have just passed away, and it is a time of sadness, at this time, it is Gorman who invites the other party to the ship, and it is Gorman who is embarrassed, so Lu Jing really can't open this mouth, so he has to look at Xu Chu and shake his head, the latter also sighed and didn't say anything more.
Maybe fate has not arrived?
"Lu Jing. ”
Just as the two were about to give up, Gorman, who had just left the lakeside, suddenly stopped, looked down at the injection on his waist, pursed his lips, and looked back at the two.
"There's something I want you to help me with, and I'll pay 10 gold leaves for that!"
"10 pieces...... What are you going to ask us to do?"
Lu Jing thought that Gorman suddenly turned around and changed his mind and wanted to take their ship, but he didn't expect that he actually wanted to issue a task to them, and it was a task with extremely good pay, and now was the time to save money to buy a big ship, Lu Jing couldn't help asking.
"Half a month later, please go to Cymbal Lan Street on Anling Island to find a doctor named Jin Qidong, and he will tell you the goal of the mission...... It doesn't matter if you don't go, it's just an offer. ”
Noticing the surprise on the faces of Lu Jing and Xu Xi, Gorman, who knew that his request was a little inexplicable, finally added.
"You have to tell us roughly what needs to be done so we can figure out if we can help. ”
"I can't predict what things will turn out in half a month, so I can't give you any clear information...... Maybe you need to kill someone, or maybe you need to expose something...... I'm sorry to take the liberty of saying something strange to you, but I'll take back what I said before, goodbye!"
Gorman has never been a sociable person, but Nia's death made him unable to suppress some thoughts in his heart, but when it came to this, he felt that it was irresponsible to involve Lu Jing and the two, and after a short silence, he still decided to bury everything back in his heart.
"Wait!"
Stopping Gorman, who turned around, Lu Jing opened his mouth and said,
"I can help, but I have a question that I hope you can answer me. ”
"Questions?"
"Have you ever thought about what to do when you're done with your business?"
Lu Jing, who vaguely sensed some information from Gorman's words, wanted to determine the mind of the man in front of him.
"I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity, and there are a lot of things to ...... next."
"I mean, what would you do if it all went well?"
Lu Jing interrupted Gorman's words.
"She said the world was beautiful and asked me to go out and see it, and I think I was willing to listen to her. ”
This is Gorman's answer.
"For half a month, Anling Island, Dr. Jin Qidong on Cymbal Street, I have written it down. ”
Lu Jing and Xu Chu glanced at each other, and said loudly,
"Then it's decided, when you're done with your business, let's talk about the rest!"
When the words fell, Lu Jing pulled Xu Chu and left the lakeside, leaving Gorman, who was still a little dazed by his sudden speech.
Why did you agree to your request?
Looking at the two people who disappeared into the jungle, Gorman was stunned for a while, but finally did not catch up and ask, and stood in front of the stone tomb for a long time, only then did he suddenly understand the hidden meaning in Lu Jing's preface and afterwords.
"If I'm still alive by then...... Live with your share!"
His gaze was on the stone tomb, the silver veil of moonlight scattered on it, each stone seemed to convey a message to him.
Suddenly a breeze blew in the woods, blowing the corners of his clothes, and a rare smile appeared on his pale face, and he strode away.
In another part of the forest, because the sky was dark, Lu Jing, who decided to rest for one night and then set off, also had a conversation between the two.
"What did you do in such a hurry, Gorman hasn't answered yet. ”
Xu Chu carried a stone and built a bonfire on the ground,
"Besides, the campfire by the lake is ready-made, and with the corpse of the King of the Sea, there is no need to worry about wild beasts attacking at night. ”
"Haha~ You don't understand this, I call it cutting first and then playing, Gorman is clearly an unsociable person, just now I tried to find out that he actually has some ideas about going to sea adventures, so he suddenly agreed to his request, and later words, he will definitely be able to guess my intentions, but the words are not spoken, the choice is still in his hands, I am just showing the state in advance, if there is really a chance in the future...... Who's to say? ”
Compared to 10 gold leaves, Lu Jing obviously valued Gorman's ability more, a powerful cultivator, the value of this boundless sea was not comparable to this little money!
"You don't even ask about the content of the mission, what if it's dangerous?"
Lighting some of the dry firewood he had just collected along the way, Xu Chu then asked.
"Dangerous...... Isn't that King of the Offshore Sea dangerous just now, and the Nightmare Pirates we provoked, I want to know that those guys who pretend to be ghosts are more troublesome than the King of the Offshore Sea. ”
Lu Jing shook his head and said with a smile,
"If you want to gallop on this boundless sea, you must be ready to face danger at any time, and who knows what kind of harvest awaits us after danger, dare to challenge danger and never know what will happen in the next second, this is the real fun of adventure!"
Oh~
Liuli lay on Lu Jing's head and supported Lu Jing's speech by looking up to the sky and "roaring".
Xu Chu looked at Lu Jing sitting on the stone, and shook his head helplessly, but he felt a little excited all over his body.
No matter what danger he is, just do it!
