Chapter 435: Wasteland

It's not too hard to make a little kid burst into laughter.

Chen Daolin first tried to explain in words, and then took out chocolate candy...... But none of them could dispel Anice's hostility.

Fortunately, Darling was quite clever and threw out a killer trick that finally made Anicee stop crying.

"I ...... It's the people who come down from the snowy mountains. ”

All right. People who came up from the snowy mountains...... Isn't that a servant of God?

In the grassland, the name of the Divine Servant is of course still very valuable. Darling looked at the little girl with satisfaction, and stopped his tears, but the eyes that looked at him were even more terrified.

"Honorable, honorable...... Servant of God?"

Anice's voice was still a little choked, but she quickly threw away the knife in her hand and threw herself on the ground and bowed.

The god of the snow-capped mountains is above...... To dare to show a knife to a servant of God is a felony to be dragged to death by a fierce horse and trampled to pulp!

Looking at the little girl who was almost throwing herself to the ground in front of him, Chen Daolin was a little unbearable. After all, although it has been a long time since he came to Roland, Chen Daolin has not yet developed the habit of others bowing to him.

He dragged the little girl up from the ground and helped her dust off her pants. Chen Daolin sighed, still took out the chocolate bar, and handed it to Anice.

Seeing that Anicei was a little helpless pinching the colorful wrapper, the big black eyes suddenly made Chen Daolin feel like he was being cute, and he simply helped Anicese tear off the wrapper, break off a piece, and stuff it into the little girl's mouth.

Anice's eyes widened at once, and those big eyes were soon filled with surprise, and after chewing a few times, he swallowed them with a grunt.

Chen Daolin squatted down and squatted in front of Anice: "Is it delicious? Don't worry." This whole piece is yours. ”

Anicee pinched the remaining half of the chocolate bar in her hand, there was a kind of entanglement and struggle in her eyes, and finally, she looked at Chen Daolin timidly: "It's all ...... Have you given me all these delicious things?"

Chen Daolin was stabbed by the word "reward", looked at this thin child with a sharp chin, and sighed softly: "It's all for you, don't be afraid, eat with peace of mind." ”

Anicee breathed a sigh of relief, but carefully put the wrapping paper back in place. Then he took out the small embroidered handkerchief from his bosom and wrapped it, and then carefully put it into a small leather pocket around his waist.

"Why don't you eat it?" Chen Daolin asked.

“...... When I brought it back, my brother had never eaten anything so delicious. Anicee looked at Chen Daolin with some trepidation.

Looking at this little girl up close, Chen Daolin saw that this little girl was really cute, her face was dirty and dirty, and there were some grass clippings on her head, but the place on her face that was washed by tears revealed her delicate skin like milk, especially the big black eyes. It's like a character who came out of the second dimension.

Chen Daolin groaned for a moment and picked up the knife that the little girl threw on the ground - the people on the grassland are really strong, and such a little old child carries the knife with him.

Chen Daolin pinched it in his hand and weighed it. The condition is very bad, and the texture of the blade is very poor, and it can be seen that the blade is already very thin and brittle because of many repeated sharpenings.

Chen Daolin smiled slightly. Putting the knife into his ring—Anicee couldn't help but pout aggrievedly, with some distress and reluctance in his eyes.

But then Chen Daolin had already conjured a small dagger from the ring like a trick.

This dagger is produced by the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, and the steel is of the highest quality. The most important thing is that it was created by the disciples of the first master of the empire. Whether it is the quality and the sharp and sturdy Cheng dù, he can throw out the knives used by the grassland people for more than a dozen streets. The handle is made of a single piece of oak with a carved pattern to prevent slipping, and the end of the handle is inlaid with a round pearl.

Chen Daolin shook the knife in front of Anice, and then took the initiative to help her insert it into the small leather scabbard around her waist.

The scabbard is a little bigger, but it's good to barely work.

"This knife doesn't rust very much, and it doesn't have to be sharpened as often. Even if I swap it with you, okay?"

Anicee was already filled with a huge surprise in his heart, staring at Chen Daolin with wide eyes, and he was speechless.

The little girl was stunned for a long time before she finally squeezed out a sentence: "You...... Is it an immortal coming down from the Holy Mountain?"

Immortal?

Chen Daolin looked at himself.

His beard was unkempt, his head was as long as straw, and he tore his shirt because of the bath, and now he only wore a pair of pants on his body, and it was still in tatters.

Where is there such a down-and-out immortal?

However, looking at such a cute little girl, Chen Daolin couldn't bear to dispel the other party's illusions after all, smiled, and asked rhetorically, "What's your name?"

"Anice. ”

The voice is high-pitched and crunchy.

"How old are you, where do you live, how did you come here to herd sheep?" Chen Daolin had already seen a few lambs grazing behind the grass not far away, surrounding an old sheep that was about to lose all of its hair.

Anicee was stunned for a moment, then began to hold his hand in a panic for a moment before raising his head: "I...... Nine years old. ”

As she spoke, she turned back and pointed in a certain direction: "Our tribe is there, and we will be there in half a day on my horse." ”

Speaking of this, she seemed to be a little frightened, looked at her sheep, and her eyes were a little red: "You...... Will you punish me? I didn't mean to offend the gods...... It's just that...... If the sheep don't eat grass, they won't get milk, and the family will ...... ...... at home"

Chen Daolin sighed, then smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be afraid, what are you afraid of! If grass grows on the ground, won't you give it to the sheep? People can't live anymore, so don't worry about what this grass is for, it's okay." ”

When Chen Daolin ran to the back of the grass, took out a spare set of clothes from the ring and put them on himself, and walked out again, Anicee looked at him with the wrong eyes.

There was a clear reverence in his eyes.

Chen Daolin knew what the problem was after a little thought.

He was wearing the clothes of the high priest of his "Peerless Martial God Sect": a set of pure white robes full of religious colors, with good texture and gorgeous shape.

I heard that when the wizards on the Great Snow Mountain walked down the mountain, they would choose to wear white robes.

This dress seems to confirm Chen Daolin's identity as a "fairy on the holy mountain".

The dog, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, jumped again. It's just that he timidly got behind Anice's back, and didn't dare to scream at Chen Daolin anymore.

Looking at the little girl's obvious protection of the dog, Chen Daolin couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Damn, why is it so difficult to eat meat?

At this time, his eyes suddenly fell on the lambs that were grazing leisurely.

Obviously, this Anicee is telling the truth, her sheep are a little thin, probably because there is no good pasture to graze on weekdays, so she will venture to this forbidden land.

But...... No matter how skinny a sheep is, it is also a sheep.

Chen Daolin looked at the sheep and couldn't help but drool.

That one...... I don't steal or rob. I'll buy it with her, it's always okay......

A smiling Darling walked up to Anicei and squatted down, and Anicee immediately became a little nervous.

"That ......" Chen Daolin coughed: "Little girl, can I buy a sheep with you?"

As he spoke, he took out a few gold coins from the ring and spread them out in his hand

These few gold coins, even in the imperial capital with the highest prices, are more than enough to buy a flock of sheep.

But Anicee looked at it, and there was some fear in his eyes. I just bit my lip hard and didn't dare to speak.

Chen Daolin sighed and tried to put on a smile: "That...... I was so hungry, but I couldn't find anything to eat here, these few gold coins. It's pure gold, and you can buy a lot of sheep. You see...... I'll give you all these coins, and I'll just have one, and you sell them to me." Okay, okay?"

Anicee seemed to want to cry again.

Intellectually, the little girl felt that the god-man who came up from the holy mountain in front of her should not deceive herself.

But...... For a nine-year-old girl who lives in a closed grassland. I really don't understand the meaning and value of gold.

She just thinks that the few shiny things in this man's hand are nothing more than beautiful stones, but she wants to exchange herself for a sheep?

There are only a few sheep at home, and they have to be kept for the winter. The family had to drink goat's milk, make goat's milk dry, and make clothes out of wool...... If there is one missing, I am afraid that I will be scolded by my grandmother when I go back.

But...... After all, this is an immortal from the holy mountain, how can he refuse the request of the immortal?

The little girl was very entangled in her heart, but she looked at Chen Daolin with her eyes that could make people cute, blinking, as if she would cry at any time.

This kind of expression of biting his lip and pretending to be strong, but full of grievances, made Chen Daolin helpless.

He can always do something to a little girl to rob the other party's property.

"Enough, I'll add a little more?"

So, three gold coins were added to five, and five to ten. In the end, Chen Daolin simply took out a small bag of gold coins - so many gold coins are even enough to buy a house in the imperial capital!!

But Anice's response was silently shed tears.

Then the little girl jumped aside, and watched the sheep for a long time.

She seemed to be hesitating which one to take.

But looking at the sheep grazing alive, the more Anicee cried, the more sad she became.

These are all raised by themselves, and they all watch them eat grass and fight every day......

I thought of the old face of my grandmother at home, and the hungry white face of my younger brother.

Anicee finally mustered up his courage, turned around and walked in front of Chen Daolin, with tears in his eyes: "Lord Immortal, don't eat my sheep, okay? You're hungry, I have something for you to eat......"

As she spoke, the little girl tried her best to touch it from her arms, felt a ball of things, and carefully held it in front of Chen Daolin with her little hand, and added a special sentence: "I don't want your shiny stones, this ...... I'll give it to you, okay? Don't you eat my sheep?

Anice's palm was a black mass of poop, which even looked a little suspicious from the outside. However, Chen Daolin still recognized it, this is the flour dumplings made from the barley noodles eaten by the grassland people.

It's a small piece, black, about the size of a teacup lid.

Looking at the thin child in front of him who could be blown down by almost a gust of wind, Chen Daolin immediately realized:

this thing. I'm afraid it's a day's ration for this little girl!

(Although Lao Tzu is despicable, he has not yet reached the point of inhumanity...... ）

Chen Daolin silently stuffed the ball of barley back into Anice's hand, and said with a wry smile: "Okay...... My ...... I'm not hungry, I won't eat your sheep. ”

Helpless!!

Chen Daolin was a little depressed in his heart.

There was nothing left in his storage ring, especially no meat.

Originally, in order to make more space, the food in the storage ring had been left in his territory. Now it's stocked with snacks and other gadgets.

Before going to the snow-capped mountains, the roast lamb legs eaten at the herdsmen's houses had already been eaten on the way to the snow-capped mountains.

Right now...... As long as Chen Daolin thinks of meat, his eyes will be green!

"That's it. ”

Chen Daolin waved his hand: "So...... You take me back to your tribe, it's all right, right?"

Anice's eyes lit up!

Hearing Chen Daolin's promise not to eat her sheep, Anice's face was filled with a smile of joy. She even approached Chen Daolin and affectionately grabbed the corner of Chen Daolin's clothes: "The tribe will be there again, Lord Immortal, I'll take you there! Are you going to spend the night in our tribe? The people in the tribe will be very happy to know that there are immortals from the Holy Mountain coming!"

After a pause, her face was melancholy again, and she whispered, "It's a pity...... My brother is not at home, otherwise he would be very happy. ”

Chen Daolin laughed a few times.

But wait until she and Anicese run over and find her horse. Chen Daolin couldn't help but be speechless.

It's a foal—the kind of pony for children to ride, to be exact.

If a big man rides on it, I'm afraid that both legs will be dragged to the ground.

After thinking about it, Chen Daolin smiled and said, "You can ride a horse." I'm right behind you. ”

......

If you put aside the initial trepidation and fear, then this afternoon was simply the happiest day of Anice's life.

This immortal from the Holy Mountain gave himself such delicious things. I also gave myself such a beautiful knife.

He also promised not to eat his own sheep, and also gave himself his day's ration.

No wonder the adults in the tribe say that the gods and men on the holy mountain are good people.

Of course...... Anicee ignored the bag of "shiny stones" that Chen Daolin had given him.

......

To Enise's surprise, she rode her pony and ran across the prairie. The sheep around him followed under the drive of the dogs.

The horses were not running fast, and Anicee kept a careful eye on the sheep.

And this immortal flew lightly beside him.

Yes, Anicee saw very clearly, he was really flying!

The two legs are still very high from the ground, and they just fly beside them, and they will talk to themselves with a pleasant face.

Although the accent of what this immortal said was a little strange, Anicee gave an explanation in his heart: Probably the immortals on the holy mountain speak like this, right?

Anice's heart was about to fly out. She really wanted to run home and give her brother a bite of the sweet thing that the fairy had given her, and she really wanted to bring the fairy back to the tribe as soon as possible, so that everyone would be happy.

The little girl was chattering all the way, she told Chen Daolin that the people in the tribe worship God and man very much, said to Chen Daolin that her father and brother were taken to war, and Chen Daolin said that the lame uncle taught his younger brother to ride a horse, and Chen Daolin said that the pasture was gone, and everyone was very sad......

Chen Daolin has been listening carefully, and only occasionally asks a few questions.

He didn't urge the little girl to hurry up, he could already see that the child valued her flock more than her life.

The sun soon set, and Anicee sped up a little.

Because he was always distracted when talking to Chen Daolin, the sheep ran in a mess, and the road was much slower.

When Anicee happily told Chen Daolin that the grandmother at home would make fragrant goat milk drying......

Chen Daolin suddenly narrowed his eyes!

His gaze looked ahead, as if he had traveled far, far away.

Then, Chen Daolin's face immediately became gloomy!!

It was getting dark, and he saw a faint light flickering on the horizon of the grassland in the distance, and black smoke rising!

It was clearly the light of the fire! In the nightfall, it was particularly eye-catching.

Children can't see so far, but Chen Daolin has seen it carefully and really!

Suddenly, he flew to Anice's side. Reaching out and patting the horse's head gently, the galloping pony quickly stopped.

Anicee was a little surprised by this immortal's ability, and asked in surprise, "Immortal?"

Chen Daolin's face was solemn, and he pointed to the front: "You say...... Your tribe is in that direction?"

"Hmm!" Anicee nodded vigorously, "We're going to rush back before dark, Grandma will make goat's milk today!"

Chen Daolin narrowed his eyes......

His strong sense of sight and hearing has allowed him to perceive many things that the child around him cannot perceive.

Faintly, the shouts that came with the wind, the crying, the screaming......

And the firelight......

Chen Daolin hesitated, originally wanting to rush over first. But looking at Aniceu's slippery eyes, at the grassland that had become dark around him.

After all, he still didn't feel at ease about leaving this child here alone.

Without waiting for Anicee to shout out, Chen Daolin had already lifted the collar of her clothes, pulled the little girl up from the horse, held it with one hand, and whispered: "The sheep will be lost here first, I will take you first, and I will come back to find it in a while, I promise that I will not lose a single one." ”

Hesitated. Chen Daolin said in a low voice: "Your family...... Something could have happened. ”

......

Tribe......

Of course, the tribe no longer exists.

The ground was littered with burnt earth.

There were also remnants of tents, crackling and burning in the light of the fire.

There were cattle and sheep who fell to the ground, and of course there were people.

The tribe has been reduced to ruins.

Some tents were burned out, next to the bare scorched earth. There were injured herdsmen sitting weeping, old men, and women howling in grief.

Anicee was completely stupefied.

She suddenly broke free with all her strength, and struggled with all the strength of her body! Wow burst out in a loud cry, jumped on the ground, and ran away on two short legs.

towards her own home.

Family...... Of course, it's no longer there.

Chen Daolin saw that this should have been two tents. It's just that all of them have been burned down to the shelves, and half of the shelves have collapsed.

The blackened felt, the cabinet shelves that had been turned over in a mess, and the small tables that had been kicked to the floor......

Of course, there was still blood on the ground.

A child, who did not look to be at most five or six years old, should have been a little boy from his clothes, threw himself on the ground with his arms outstretched, face down...... Can't see the face clearly.

He was already dead, and there was a hole in blood in his back, as if he had been picked out with a spear, and the blood on the ground had turned black.

Chen Daolin didn't approach, but just probed with his spiritual power, and knew that there were no living people inside and outside this tent.

Ainisai cried out helplessly.

She threw herself down at her brother's side, pulled him hard, pulled him up and held him in her arms, blood, red, black, all over her face and hands, but the little girl was still crying.

She suddenly let go of her brother and jumped up, and was about to run towards the tent that was still burning, shouting "Grandma" all the way.

Chen Daolin hurriedly walked up and grabbed her, hugging the little girl hard.

The little girl's legs kicked desperately, and even tried to grab Chen Daolin's face with her hands, Chen Daolin sighed in his heart, just hugged the child hard, and turned around.

Striding away from the burning tent, and walking a sufficient distance, he freed his hand and took a deep breath......

Anicee heard the fairy behind him say something strange.

And then......

In the sky, a black cloud soon condensed.

After a flash of lightning, heavy rain fell......

The rain was heavy and intensive. It's like a scoop!

Heavy rain quickly doused the embers.

Chen Daolin didn't let go of Anice, just hugged her with one hand and walked towards her home.

Anicee didn't struggle anymore, but her small hands tightly wrapped around Chen Daolin's neck, very tight.

Chen Daolin felt that her little body was trembling, trembling all the time!

......

Marvel......

Miracles, of course, did not live.

In a tent that had been reduced to ruins, Chen Daolin found the body of Anice's mother.

It's already scorched by fire, and it's ...... The head was also cut off.

Finally ......

After seeing her mother's body, Anicee let out a wail, a small shrill voice, and then she fainted.
