Chapter 42: A dilemma
This question made Wang Lung stunned, bowed to the work froze in place, his mind churned, I don't know why the other party had this question, he had never seen this old man, but he heard the other party's tone seemed to be very familiar, and a little helpless.
This is the first time he has come to Gleeth Star, the first time he has seen a giant, and the first time he has met the old man, so Wang Lung couldn't understand it for a while, and his brain was a little confused, as if he had a big hand commanding behind his back.
Could it be that this old man is also a guardian, it is the guardian of the star of Grise, he met the old ghost or Du Lian, before he came here, the old ghost or Du Lian had already explained, let the old man take care of one or two.
It is very likely, after all, the environment of Gleth Star is too special, giants and giant beasts are rampant, and he is not even a cultivator, so it is impossible to guarantee whether he can safely collect the Bud of Volta, this is not the earth, no matter how strong the old ghost's ability is, it is beyond the reach of the whip, Zhong Hui's topic is only to refine a Pei Yuan Dan, if there is a problem in collecting spirit grass, the old ghost does not want to see it.
I just did Du Lian a big favor, the Blue Plains Department is not too far away from the Gleth Star, Du Lian knows the danger of this place, and is afraid that she will lose, so she will explain the situation to the old man in advance, and let him take care of herself, which can be regarded as a bit of psychological balance, after all, the reward Du Lian gave herself is not proportional to the danger of the Green Yuan Star, and in order to help herself a little, she told the old man about her own affairs.
I'm afraid that only these two explanations can be justified, as for whether it is the old ghost or Du Lian, Wang Lung doesn't care too much, now the old man is quite polite to himself, his tone is good, and there should be no difficulty in coming to this trip to the Gleth Star.
These thoughts flashed in Wang Lung's mind, and after thinking about it, Wang Lung's heart was much more steady, and he bowed down again to salute the other party. But as soon as his movements took shape, before he could speak, Gura's voice came from his ears.
"Father, are you alright?" Gula's voice trembled, as if suppressing his excitement.
Hearing this, Wang Lung was stunned. The action froze there again, I don't know what to say, the conjecture just now was all nonsense, the other party didn't say it to himself at all, and so did the old man, nothing to laugh at himself.
In fact, it is no wonder that Wang Lung has such a complaint, the old man and Gula are both giants, Wang Lung is similar to an ant in front of them, and Wang Lung follows Gula again. The old man didn't have to turn his head, he could see him at a glance, that expression was made for Gula, the two were father and son, Wang Lung would guess wrong.
"Hehe, okay, the day you became an adult, your father was promoted to a tribal elder. It's been ten years, and this is the first time you, father and son, have met. I heard that you have become the gatekeeper of the tribe by your own ability, not bad, not bad. The old man spoke weakly.
Gula choked up and said, "Father, since you became an elder, you have never left here. The child misses his father, but ...... But there was a way to see his father, so he could only practice diligently, and finally became a tribal gatekeeper, hoping to see his father again one day. ”
Gullah's father smiled with kindness. nodded and said: "My father knows your temperament, I have suffered you in the past few years, is it okay for your mother to kiss them?"
Gula nodded vigorously and said: "My mother is very good, the eldest brother went to guard the mine, the eldest sister married Fu Fu of the Dilu tribe five years ago, I went to see her some time ago, and her life is quite good." ”
"I'm relieved that you're doing well, our tribe is weak and needs more labor, you will have a good life and cultivate in the future, don't always be on the door guard, learn more from your eldest brother." ”
Gula bowed his head and said, "The child has written it down, and the child will definitely live up to his father's instructions." ”
Gullah's father nodded and said, "Okay, remember, don't talk to your mother about seeing me today." ”
Gula was stunned and asked, "Why? Mother and mother talk about you every day, child......"
Before Gula finished speaking, his father shook his head and said: "My father is now a tribal elder, and you also know the meaning of the elder, let your mother kiss them and talk about it, saying that it will only increase your troubles, in case your mother and them break in, wouldn't it be asking for hardship." ”
Gula nodded in embarrassment, sighed and said, "The child understands, no wonder the eldest brother has never talked about you." ”
Gula's father nodded, turned his gaze to Wang Lung and said, "Little one, what's your name." ”
Wang Lung was confused at first, and Gulla's father suddenly asked, which made him a little stunned, and then he came to his senses, bowed down and said, "Junior Wang Lung, meet the senior." ”
Gula's father nodded and said, "I'm curious, you're not even a cultivator, how did you come to Gleth Star, just now the Tu guards didn't understand, I don't know if you can tell the truth." ”
Wang Lung said: "The junior is from a planet not far from the star of Gles, please forgive me, the name of the planet where I am located cannot be told to me." ”
Gula's father still smiled, nodded slowly and said, "It's not far from us, if I guess correctly, you are from the earth, right?" Seeing Wang Lung's expression, the old man smiled and said, "It seems that I guessed correctly, I don't know what your relationship with Zhonghui is?"
"Zhonghui, you...... Do you know Senior Zhong?" asked Wang Lung differently.
"It can't be regarded as an acquaintance, but there is a fate, a few years ago, Zhonghui's predecessor once came to Gleth Star, and the old man was fortunate to see it, why? You are very familiar with Zhonghui's senior?"
Wang Lung smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, the reason why the juniors came to Gless Star is mainly because of the seniors. ”
Gula's father sighed and asked, "Listening to the tone of your voice, it seems that you are dissatisfied with Zhonghui's seniors, what is going on?"
Wang Lung shook his head helplessly, and told the other party his experience and Zhong Hui's original question, but there were some secrets that he wouldn't say, in order to complete Zhong Hui's topic, Wang Lung came to Glees Star to collect Voltaic Buds, he didn't expect that Glees Star was far more dangerous than he imagined, so he naturally complained to Zhong Hui.
After listening to what Wang Lung said, Gula's father laughed, and only after a long time did he speak: "I see, since it is the intention of Zhonghui's predecessors, the old man is not easy to disobey, Voldebud and I have a lot of Glos planet, but I can't give it to you for no reason, since it is a trial, you can only rely on yourself to collect it." ”
"This ...... In this case, the juniors have nothing to say, and I hope that the juniors can give a hint, and the juniors in the province are running around. ”
See the sincerity of what Wang Lung said. Gula's father nodded and said: "You have two options, the first is to sell your labor and help the villagers of my tribe work, as for what you do, the old man does not dare to guarantee, it depends on what the villagers of the tribe plan to let you do." Whether your situation meets their requirements. ”
Wang Lung nodded and asked, "This junior has also heard of it, so what is the second type?"
"The second one is actually very simple, you don't need to work for my tribe, you can go to the wild to find it yourself, but you have to be careful of the giant beasts in the wild, as for our giant clan, you don't have to worry, unless you are threatened, the giant clan will not embarrass outsiders. ”
Wang Lung smiled bitterly in his heart. What the other party said is similar to what he knows, the only difference is that he doesn't need to worry about the giant attacking him when he goes to the wild, and it seems that there is a bit of a discrepancy in the news that the two brothers inquired about.
"Can the seniors tell the juniors where the Fudi buds are produced?"
Seeing Wang Lung's expectant eyes, Gula's father said: "Voldegers are found in various tribes, although the importance is average, but it is also essential for us, as for the Voldegers in the wild. All production sites are in the vicinity of the Great Rift Valley. ”
"The Great Rift Valley?" Wang Lung's eyes widened in disbelief, he had heard from a brother and sister. The danger of the Great Rift Valley is unimaginable, and the cultivators who enter it will die for a lifetime, and they are just collecting the buds of the ground, and it is not worth it to take their lives again.
"Haha...... , it seems that you have also heard of the Great Rift Valley, not bad. It's dangerous there, but the buds don't grow at the bottom of the valley, but on the sides of the rift, so you don't have to be afraid. ”
Hearing what the other party said, Wang Lung finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Volde's bud is not at the bottom of the valley, he doesn't have to take such a big risk, thinking of this, Wang Lung bowed down and said: "Since this is the case, then the junior will try his luck." ”
Gullah's father shook his head and said, "Do you want to borrow a flying machine and fall directly to the place where Voldi Bud was produced?"
Wang Lung nodded and said, "Yes, with the aircraft as an auxiliary, the juniors are safer." ”
"Alas, it seems that you don't know much about Gles, and I'm afraid you can't use a flying machine to go to the Rift. ”
Wang Lung asked puzzledly, "Senior, how do you say this? Could it be that there is a ban around the rift valley and the aircraft cannot be approached?"
"Ban, let's call it a ban, you can get to the Rift Valley in a flying machine, but when you get out of the aircraft, you will find that the actual landing place is not where you see it. Seeing Wang Lung's eyes widen, Gulla's father continued: "If you dock the aircraft on the edge of the cliff and land on the ground, there is a more than eighty percent chance that it will fall to the bottom, and the other two percent will be random, probably a thousand kilometers away from the rift. ”
Wang Lung's face was full of incredulity, and he stumbled and asked, "What...... How so? Is that rift inaccessible?"
Gulla's father shook his head and said: "That's not it, if you go on foot, there won't be that kind of situation, I think you should know that the rift valley is in the most central area of the planet Gles, starting from my tribe, about 800 kilometers south can be reached, but how many giant beasts you will encounter along the way, the old man can't guarantee it, maybe you are lucky, maybe you can't touch a giant beast, and you may face more than ten giant beasts rounded up." ”
Wang Lung was completely dumbfounded after hearing this, if he went to the wild to look for the bud of Volde, he would have to pass through the forest and high mountains where giant beasts were rampant, and it was eight hundred kilometers away from the rift valley, if it was on the earth, it would be able to run quickly, but this is the star of Gles, and the gravity is ten times that of the earth, even if there is no obstacle along the way, it will take at least half a day, is there really no obstacle?
Not going to the wilderness, working for the giant may be the best way at the moment, but listening to Gula's father, Voldesprout also has some uses for the giant, and it is estimated that it is quite troublesome to exchange for a sufficient quantity.
After pondering for a long time, Wang Lung bowed down and asked, "Senior, it's too dangerous to go to the wilderness, and the junior wants to work for your tribe, and I don't know what kind of work to do in exchange for enough Fudi buds?"
"As I said earlier, I don't know exactly what kind of work I do, but I need to make my own decisions, how many Voldiya do you need?" asked Gullah's father.
Wang Lung said: "The juniors need at least fifty catties of Fudi Bud to be able to, presumably the seniors should know that the juniors are not even considered cultivators now, they have no divine sense, refining Pei Yuan Dan is very difficult for me, and the juniors can only experiment a little bit." ”
The buds are very small, like toothpicks, refining Pei Yuan Dan cannot be calculated by quantity, it must be calculated by weight, refining a furnace of Pei Yuan Dan requires one or two Fu Di buds, five hundred groups are fifty catties, this is still the lowest standard, Wang Lung wants to exchange for more.
Gula's father nodded and said: "What you said is not bad, but fifty catties of Voldebud is not a decimal number for my tribe, you should know that although Voldea Bud is not a precious spiritual grass, but the origin is too special, our clansmen are also taking risks to collect, and after collecting back, it will be distributed to the clansmen for use, and each family has not much stock, fifty catties are afraid that it will take more than a dozen to make up, and you need to help more than a dozen families work to make up fifty catties, do you have enough time?"
"This ...... , the younger generation can only try, compared to going to the field to collect, part-time work is safer. ”
Gula's father sighed lightly and said, "Since you have decided, the old man will not stop you, but the old man will remind you that with your physique, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a job." ”
"Can't find a job, can't it?" asked Wang Lung puzzled.
"Anyway, I won't say much, you can try it yourself. Seeing that Wang Lung was dazed, Gula's father didn't say much, turned his head to look at Gula and said, "Child, you take him down, remember, you will be good at cultivating in the future." ”
Bidding farewell to Gulla's father, Wang Lung continued to follow Gula behind, leaving the Hall of Elders and continuing to walk into the distance.
He didn't go far, Wang Lung asked Xiang Gula: "Brother Gu, why did your father say that it was difficult for me to find a job, do you know?"
Gula smiled and said, "You'll know later." ”
Seeing that Gula didn't want to say more, Wang Lung could only stop asking, but he kept thinking in his heart, if he didn't go to the wilderness, he could only work, but what if he couldn't find a job? Even if he could find a job and help more than a dozen families, the time was not fixed, just like Gula 's father asked, he really didn't have enough time, what should he do? Wang Lung was very embarrassed.
Just as Wang Lung was pondering, Gula had already stopped, stood next to a huge drum, grabbed the animal bones on the side and struck it vigorously, the sound of knocking and knocking almost broke Wang Lung's eardrums, and when the drum beat stopped, Wang Lung saw a crowd of figures in the distance, and seemed to be running over here, looking at those figures, they were all giants. (To be continued......)
