Chapter Seventy-Three: Landing and Returning to the Roots

"Mother-in-law, have you always lived here?" Ling Nan couldn't help but ask curiously, he couldn't have imagined that this place was so far away from the wooden house, and the old woman had been insisting on walking.

"I can't count how many years have passed, and I'm going to land here and go back to my roots. The old woman looked up to the sky and said, as if to tell a story of a long history.

"Did your relatives once live here, but how did you live when it was covered with flowers and plants all year round?" Lingnan asked a series of things that he thought were incredible.

"This used to be a vast territory, but for some reason there were so many stars in the sky, and the world said that this was some kind of curse, so it was a large area with only white, and everyone was most taboo about this, so no one came. The old woman took the trouble to tell in detail, not at all as fierce as when they first met, and she was also a kind old man when she spoke well.

Lingnan listened carefully to her, paused, and asked, "Then why are you still here, mother-in-law, aren't you afraid of curses?"

"Curse?" said the old woman, chuckling, as if mocking the world, and as if disdainful, "I am almost two hundred years old now, and this is a curse!"

Two hundred years old?Ling Nan looked at her in shock, still in surprise for a long time, it is rare in the world to live so long, except for the Da Yin family, they can live a long time, so they have been bullying them with a long lifespan.

"The clansmen have died, and I am the only one left..."Speaking of this, the already hoarse voice was actually a little choked, and Lingnan knew that the old woman was also a lonely person, and her loneliness was different from theirs, which was a loneliness of a different race.

Lingnan didn't dare to ask more, for fear of piercing her wound, so he lowered his head and picked vegetables seriously.

Ling Nan suddenly thought of something, and asked again: "Mother-in-law, since there is no one here, why is there still meat to eat?"

The old woman chuckled and said, "There is no one here, but there are other little things with me, and they are more loyal than people." ”

Lingnan's face was full of doubts, he didn't understand what the old woman said, he thought: Is there still a bird to give her tribute food?

The old woman was very slow, and by the time they got back to the hut it was already night. There were indeed a few special species of birds on the hut, and they were also very strong, with meat in their mouths, as if they were not at home because the old woman was not at home, and there were some strange people in the house, so they refused to go in, and hid on the roof and made a sharp bird call.

When he saw the old woman, he flew towards her, and he couldn't bear to step on her shoulder, so he had to wave his wings in mid-air.

The old woman put Lingnan's basket on the ground, but the birds obediently put the meat in their mouths into the basket and rubbed it against the old woman's body, very closely.

The old woman smiled and said, "These children are so good. ”

Lingnan was surprised, it turned out that there was really a small thing to bring her food. The rest of the people also came out when they heard the movement, thinking that some beast had invaded.

What I ran out of the house was a flock of small birds, and the feathers were very strange, not like the birds in the world, but more like those that had survived in ancient times.

The more she looked at the birds, the more familiar they became, as if she had seen them at some time, but where she couldn't tell, and she couldn't think of a large number of these birds.

Man Yi walked to the old woman's side, closer to the group of birds, but he didn't expect that because Man Yi's arrival frightened them, and finally they flew to the sky, and they didn't come back, Man Yi frowned slightly, trying to recall something, but he had no impression, so he had to ask weakly, "Mother-in-law, what kind of bird is this?"

"The only surviving bird in my tribe, and I don't know what kind of bird it is!" the old woman did not speak to her as harshly as she did during the day, and she secretly felt weak in her clothes, and when she could not get any results, she consciously withdrew.

Although the old woman was strict, she was not kind to them, and made them a supper in the evening, and neatly sorted out a few rooms for them to stay, and the old woman said, since you have come here by fate, and you have no bad intentions, so you should also be a distant relative, and you will not dislike it.

The old woman's actions, they were grateful, but they could not repay them.

The night was the same as the day, it was so quiet, except for the heavy rain, there was nothing to disturb them, the room was sorted out with a musty smell, and as soon as the full clothes entered, they kept sneezing, and finally did not get used to it, so they had to go out to breathe.

As soon as Man Yi stepped out of the room, he saw a figure sneakily walking out of the house, and Man Yi thought to himself: Maybe it's just breathing.

I wanted to stop him, but when I saw that the man was very nervous, Manyi felt that something was wrong, and followed him outside all the way.

I don't know if the wind was too cold, but the man shivered a little and lowered his body, and finally squatted down in the grass not far from the wooden house, and his full clothes followed suit. If you are too close, you are afraid of revealing your whereabouts, and if you are too far away, you can't see what that person is doing. Manyi had no choice but to calm down and listen carefully to the man's every move, but he didn't see any movement from the man.

Suddenly, a glimmer of light shone in the grass, and Man Yi couldn't see what the man was doing, but from this light he could guess that he was summoning the butterfly.

Man Yi thought to himself, which spy wants to make a report?

Then the man hurried away, just in time for Man Yi to see the man's face, who was not tall but sturdy, who was Abu, the very good guard.

After he left, Manyi quickly jumped into the air and gently grabbed Xindie, but he didn't mean to pinch him to death.

With a squirming sound, Abu looked back vigilantly, his eyes suddenly wide, as if something unspeakable was about to be exposed.

Hearing a gust of wind blow in the distance, disturbing the squirming of the sleeping stars, Abu's vigilance was finally lifted, and his relaxed exhalation could be heard in the distance.

Manyi covered her mouth and tried not to make a sound, otherwise there would be another tragic incident with Ying Eun, and as a result, she also revealed her ulterior secret, so she had to pray not to be found again, and a cold sweat had already formed in her palms.

Abu stopped again and muttered, "Why did the butterfly disappear?"

After speaking, he wanted to step forward to take a look, and then joked more: "It must be that the martial arts have grown recently, and Xindie has also flown faster." ”

The full clothes in the grass are secretly scolding, why is this person doing so much? I want to roll my eyes but I can't.

Long after Abu left, Manyi put down his guard, sat on the ground, looked at the heart butterfly carefully, and couldn't help but laugh: "The strength is long, no wonder this heart butterfly is so easy to catch!"

Manyi sat quietly, regained her composure, stretched out her right hand, spread out her palm, a light blue light emanated from the palm of her hand, she put the heart butterfly between the palms, and the blue light was like a cage, trapping the letter butterfly.
