Chapter 5: I Can Support You
Kosan Town
The cold wind was bleak, the autumn mulberry leaves fell all over the courtyard after a night rain, and a large part of the roof was paved with rippling leaf tiles, adding a bit of soggy elegance to this humble house.
When the mulberry leaves fall, the silkworm merchant is equivalent to entering the winter in advance, and this time is generally when Zhu Minglang begins to be a jobless vagrant.
Wearing a hat and a coat, Zhu Minglang was sweeping the fallen leaves broken by the rain in the yard, and with his head down, he suddenly saw a pair of straight and slender jade feet coming.
Zhu Minglang raised his head to look at her.
She was as cold as ice, rejecting people thousands of miles away, and her beautiful amber eyes revealed a little murderous intent.
Today, she does not have the weakness of her usual days, let alone the usual peace, there is a momentum coiled around her body, which is the momentum that only exists in a person after the baptism of war!
It seems that her ability has recovered a little, of course, compared to the original her, Zhu Minglang has heard a lot of rumors about her strength.
"You're going revenge?" asked Zhu Minglang.
As soon as these words came out, countless silver threads flew out of the Valkyrie's sleeves, they were extremely hard, and they quickly converged into a silver wire sword, hanging on Zhu Minglang's neck.
"I'm the first?" Zhu Minglang said with a wry smile.
The sword slid over, and the Valkyrie's body swept by as light as a swallow, and a trace of blood immediately appeared on Zhu Minglang's neck.
Zhu Minglang didn't move, waiting for his head to roll to the ground.
But it was just a shallow mark, some skin broken.
Don't kill yourself?
Zhu Minglang hugged his neck and turned his head to look at the graceful and tall back of the Valkyrie.
He didn't thank the Valkyrie for not killing, after all, if she was really ruthless, she wouldn't have to reach out and pull herself in the dungeon.
"Will I really be imprinted in your heart and become a shame for you for the rest of your life?" asked Zhu Minglang.
In the past few days, I can always hear stories about the Valkyrie and the homeless man, one in the heavenly palace, the other in the stinky cement ditch underground, the huge identity gap is entangled, what a hot topic, I believe it won't be long before people outside Yongcheng will know the news.
The Valkyrie didn't answer, and continued to walk out, this time she didn't Qiao Zhuang like the other day, but directly revealed her true face, simple, haggard but still beautiful.
"Actually......" Zhu Minglang watched her gradually disappear, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
Zhu Minglang also understands.
I am not a disgrace to the Valkyrie, but my current status is lowly.
......
She left, Zhu Minglang was in a somewhat complicated mood, subconsciously picked a full large mulberry leaf and put it on the palm of his hand, and the Xiaoice worm immediately happily bounced from his shoulder to the mulberry leaf.
"Are we never going back to the stormy days of the past?" Zhu Minglang asked casually holding the Xiaoice worm.
After so many years, Zhu Minglang still hasn't figured out why a good white dragon was wrapped in silk overnight, and then its huge body quickly degraded in silk overnight, and finally degenerated into such a little guy who only knows how to gnaw mulberry leaves.
The Xiaoice insect turned a deaf ear, and its two barely visible front paws raised the mulberry leaves slightly, like a little doll holding a rice bowl several times larger than him, and began to gnaw on it.
It writhed its fat body, made that happy chewing sound, and its eyes sparkled with great satisfaction after eating.
Seeing the little guy's delicate appearance, Zhu Minglang couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help poking his big belly with his other hand.
The little guy didn't know any shame at all, so he immediately turned over his belly and let Zhu Minglang massage him, making a "uh-huh" tone of enjoyment.
"It's good to be ordinary, no pressure, no worries, and people don't have to be responsible for ......"
Shaking his head, Zhu Minglang continued to clean up his own small yard, and in the coming year, he had to plant some big mulberry trees in the back mountain, and the little guy's meal was getting bigger and bigger, and he was not diligent, and he couldn't even afford to raise the Xiaoice insects that depended on each other.
"Anyway, it's not noon yet, why is it a little hot?" Zhu Minglang hadn't cleaned for long, and gradually felt that the cold air was dispersed by something.
A touch of red light cleared the dense clouds and mist, and I don't know when this small mulberry town was rendered, and even the nearby forests didn't know when they were reflected as red and gorgeous as maple forests.
Zhu Minglang raised his head and looked at the sky.
Isn't the morning already over, how can there be such an exaggerated morning glow?
This burning cloud hung upside down like a real flame, and in a short period of time, the vast blue sky became incomparably gorgeous!
"Crunch ~~~"
Before Zhu Minglang could figure out where this sky vision came from, the wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and the Valkyrie, who had just left, hurriedly stepped in.
Zhu Minglang's eyes couldn't help but light up......
She's back.
In fact, she will also plant plums, this winter Zhu Minglang can be more diligent, as long as she is willing to eat with herself, she will not dislike this cottage full of silkworm dung smell in the future, well, I can raise you.
"If you don't take revenge, okay?" Zhu Minglang smiled, and the words were all on the edge, but he didn't wait for him to speak.
Valkyrie's expression was serious, and she said very quickly, "You play the role of my clansman." ”
Before Zhu Minglang could understand what was going on, the courtyard door was pushed open again, and a handsome man in green clothes and red stripes walked over.
Although his dress and appearance are a bit extraordinary, what is most concerning is his extremely pale face, as if he is infected with some stubborn disease, and there is no normal blood at all.
However, his appearance does not have the feeling of being sick and weak, but cold and arrogant, which is terrifying.
Zhu Minglang looked at the endless fire in the sky, and then at the red pupils that flowed from this person's eyes from time to time, and quickly understood something.
Dragon Wrangler.
And it's strong!!
"Is he the one you said you were going to go on the road with?" Luo Xiao asked, his eyes looking at Zhu Minglang even more fiercely.
"He has taken the first step, and has already informed the clan of my current situation, and I have asked him to clean up the traces of my stay here and return to the ancestral dragon city-state tomorrow. Valkyrie said.
Luo Xiao walked over and began to examine Zhu Minglang, his serious and somewhat questioning expression obviously did not fully believe what the Valkyrie said.
"Lady. Zhu Minglang gave a fist salute to the Valkyrie, and said without changing his face, "The clan ordered his subordinates to take you back, but no strangers are allowed to accompany you, your status is noble, and you are so dignified and beautiful, your subordinates still recommend that you do not trust people of unknown origin." ”
"I don't know where I came from, but I'm a member of the clan...... ...... in the clan" Luo Xiao was halfway through his words, but he didn't know how to continue.
"Luo Xiao used to be an attendant in my father's courtyard, and now he is a dragon herder, not a person of unknown origin as you said. Valkyrie said.
"Oh, that's also a child of the same clan, since that's the case, let's go on the road together, and we can take care of each other. Zhu Minglang reluctantly agreed.
Question the person who wants to question yourself first, and there is a little naughtiness in your wit!
Zhu Minglang couldn't help but sigh at himself, his acting skills have not diminished back then!
