Chapter 50: A Night Encounter in a Melon Field

For half a month, Lin Dusk went out day and night, surveying all the terrain in the northern part of the valley. He can easily travel between the fields of flowers and fields with ease www.biquge.info pick the fruits he wants to eat. Due to proper activity, the healing of the injuries on the body has also accelerated, and basically everything is almost better, and I can run and jump freely. He began to advance his range of activity southward by night. The south side is closer to the village and can find more food. He was tired of the bitter wild fruits, and he needed to go to a wider place to find his way out of the valley. There is no exit from the north, maybe there will be from the south. He will not rest until he travels the whole valley.

The northern part of the valley is mostly uncultivated wilderness, while the southern part is criss-crossed by Qianmo and the fertile land is regular. On both sides of the road paved with bluestone slabs, there are many colorful flowers and plants, as well as rice, wheat, grains, melons, fruits and vegetables. The moist night breeze blows, the rice and wheat are like waves, and the flowers and fruits are fragrant, as if they have arrived in the peach paradise. Lin Dusk, who was tired of eating wild fruits, was even more excited when he saw a fruit grove than when he saw his mother and black beans. He jumped up and picked a green apple that was not yet ripe, and munched on it through the woods.

The fruit grove is not big, but after passing through it, it is a melon field, and the watermelons are all over the ground under the moonlight, round and green, attracting water. Lin Du immediately threw away the half-eaten apple and pounced on a large watermelon, raising his small fist high with star power, and breaking the watermelon with one punch, revealing a bright red melon. He sat on the ground, picked up half a watermelon and gnawed it, and suddenly the sweet juice overflowed. After gnawing half of it, he threw away the melon peel casually, and was about to pick up the other half, but suddenly heard a sound of rustling footsteps in the distance, and he immediately went to the melon field vigilantly, raised his head slightly and looked at the place where the sound came from.

On the stone road with flying petals, two children, a man and a woman, walked side by side, looking no more than eight or nine years old, each carrying a bamboo basket behind their backs. The boy was a tiger-headed, bouncing all the way, constantly trying to catch the petals fluttering above his head. The girl looked much calmer, holding the boy's hand tightly, and her eyes kept looking at the flower field in front of her. She is dressed the same as Li Xiaoyun, she is also wearing a moon-white long dress, an unknown blue flower hanging around her waist, a black hairpin is obliquely inserted on her left forehead, and three small blue flowers are wrapped, looking simple and simple but very beautiful.

This is the child of the village. It was already past midnight at this time, and I didn't know what they were doing in the field, Lin Dusk secretly wondered. In order to avoid being discovered by the other party, he quickly buried his head a little lower. At this time, I only heard the boy say: "It is really troublesome to learn flower essence, you have to learn to plant flowers and raise flowers, and you have to run out in the middle of the night to collect the newly blooming luminous orchid." I'm a man, I don't want to deal with flowers all day long, sister, can you tell my father, don't let me learn flower essence, I'm going to learn iron from my third grandfather, and I will be a blacksmith in the future!"

Lin Du was stunned. It seems that these are the two sisters and brothers, and they came here in the middle of the night to collect some flowers. He had read several books on flower essence, and knew that the preparation of flower essence required picking the budding flowers, and some flowers were open in the middle of the night. Opposite this melon field, across the bluestone road is a field of flowers. Lin Du quietly picked up the watermelon leaves, but saw that the flower field was fluorescent, and the colorful flowers were in the middle of the first bloom. The flowers resemble orchids, and the petals are exactly the same as the fluorescent petals flying in the air, and they also shimmer with speckled fluorescence.

This must be the glow-in-the-dark orchid in their mouths, right? Could it be that they are here to pick flowers? Lin Dusk secretly exclaimed bad luck. The place where he was lying prone was only two or three meters away from the stone road, and if the sister and brother were picking flowers on the opposite side, he would be watched at the slightest movement, so that he could only lie motionless on his stomach, and it was difficult to leave for a while.

Lin Dui was secretly worried, and saw that the two children were getting closer and closer, and the girl did not speak, but kept gesticulating, just like the dumb language that Lin Dui had seen on TV, it seemed that this girl was a mute girl. It's pathetic. Lin Du thought to himself, but heard the boy say again: "I know that flower essence is very useful, but I just don't like it, when you learn it well, sister, you will make flower essence for me to use, and when I become a blacksmith, I will find the best iron in the world and give you the best sword, isn't that good?"

The girl's expression was solemn and she continued to gesticulate, but the boy ignored it, suddenly took off her sister's hand, ran forward like a happy foal, and shouted: "Sister, we are here! The melon field of the second uncle's family is also here, I will pick a watermelon to eat! You help me pick flowers first, and I will invite you to eat watermelon later!"

The girl also ran a few steps to catch up, pointed to the flowers in the field with some anxiety, and gestured twice with her hand. The boy said impatiently: "I know, I know, the petals of the luminous orchid will fly off in half an hour, but I'm thirsty, I'll hurry up and eat watermelon, sister, you hurry up and pick flowers!"

After saying that, the boy dropped the bamboo basket and turned around and ran towards the melon field. The girl frowned slightly, but still carried his bamboo basket in her hand, and walked quickly to the flower field on the other side.

Lin Dui's heart jumped to his throat all of a sudden. He didn't expect the boy to fall in love with the big watermelon here as much as he did. Hiding under the melon leaves, the person on the opposite side can't see the abnormality at all if you don't look carefully, but if the person comes closer, it's easy to see the problem. The moonlight was bright, and there were flying streamers in the air, which was too easy to expose. Lin Du listened to the boy's footsteps getting closer and closer, gritted his teeth and decided to get up and run away, but as soon as he looked up, he heard an oops, the boy seemed to have stepped on something, and he fell off his head unexpectedly, and a horse rushed towards him, only to hear a bang, and the heads of the two happened to collide in one place!

The head was hit and hurt, and the sky spun around. Lin Du then remembered that he had left the melon peel aside, and was being stepped on by the boy. He covered his head and quickly got up. The boy also covered his head and jumped up, and in the moonlight, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw a dirty and unfamiliar face on the other side. The village is so big, and children of this age are very familiar with each other, and the other party is obviously not from the village. The boy didn't say a word, and it was a punch to rush forward!

Lin Du didn't dodge, but instead swung his fist to meet him, and the star power on the fist was condensed. Although the boy had learned some punches and kicks, he had not yet cultivated star power, and when the two fists intersected, his arm was immediately numb, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. Lin Du took this opportunity to turn around and run.

At this time, the girl had already heard her brother's screams of pain, turned around, and saw her brother fall to the ground, and got up to fight with a strange boy, and a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she immediately threw down the bamboo basket and rushed over. Seeing Lin Dui turn around to escape, she raised her right hand, and a green ball of light the size of an egg flew straight towards Lin Dui. The ball of light was extremely fast, and in an instant, it shattered several fluttering petals and hit Lin Dui's calf.

Lin Du only felt a numbness in his right leg, and he fell to the ground unsteadily. He thought that these two children were young and should not have cultivated star power yet, but they not only had star power but also knew star magic, although it was the most ordinary "light flame meteor", it was enough to deal with him, a melon thief who had never learned star magic. Fortunately, this light flame meteor was only transformed by Gu Xing's power, the girl's cultivation was low, and her strength was not strong, and it did not cause him substantial damage, and as soon as the star power on her legs turned, the feeling of soreness and numbness subsided a little, but she couldn't run anymore. After such a delay, the boy had caught up again and cried out, "Sister, catch him, catch him!

Lin Du staggered to his feet, clenched his fists in front of him, and made a posture to defend himself against the enemy. The boy still glared at him with his hand on his aching head, but he never dared to take a step closer. Lin Du took the opportunity to take two more steps back, leaned over and rubbed her sore calves, and by this time the mute girl had already rushed over.

When I got closer, I saw clearly that the girl looked quiet and weak, like a slender weeping willow in the evening breeze in front of Tanah Lot. She looked Lin Dui up and down, her eyes were full of doubt, and she didn't mean to continue to move, but just gestured to Lin Dui. Lin Du looked confused, but heard the boy say: "Sister, who do you care who he is, he is definitely not from our family, catch him first!"

The girl shook her head and made a few more gestures to the boy, who turned to Lin Du with some reluctance and said angrily, "My sister asked you, how did you get into the valley?"

Lin Du saw that the two children stopped moving for the time being, and their tense nerves relaxed slightly, but they still put on a defensive posture, thought for a while and replied, "Of course, the people in your valley brought me in." ”

In fact, only the people of the Li clan can enter and exit this space freely, and those who do not have the blood of the Li clan must be led by the clansmen to enter. The people of the Li clan who go out to do errands occasionally bring some people with foreign surnames into the valley, but that is all for the purpose of marrying men and women in the clan, and the people who bring in are all young people, but a seven or eight-year-old child like Lin Du has never had one. What's more, it is impossible to let it go when it is brought in, and Lin Dui is ragged and sloppy, and he is half a little savage, so the girl will question his origin.

Hearing Lin Dui say this, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and made a few more gestures. Although the boy looked reluctant, he still consciously started the translation work, and said, "My sister asks you, who brought you in?"

Lin Du didn't know Li Haichao's name, only that he called himself the fifth brother in front of Li Haining. Even if he knew, he couldn't reveal it to the two siblings. What if they take themselves to Li Haichao again? That fierce and vicious guy obviously didn't have a good heart for himself, and he knew that he was not eaten by Li Haining, and he would definitely kill himself. So he shook his head: "I don't know who he is. ”

"Then why didn't you go back to the village?" the boy asked again.

"He left me out. ”

The siblings glanced at each other, as if they were puzzled by his being left outside. The boy said again: "Then you go back with us, go to my house first, and then go to see the fourth grandfather tomorrow, he will arrange for you." ”

Lin Du shook his head without hesitation. He has no hostility towards the Li family in the valley, only Li Haining and Li Haichao are hostile, although Li Haining has defected out of the valley, but after all, Li Haichao is still there, and he doesn't want to run into the villain who almost killed him again. What's more, the valley is full of strangers, and they go with them recklessly, what if someone is unfavorable to them again?

The girl frowned slightly, and hurriedly made a series of gestures. The boy translated: "My sister said that you have no place to live outside, no food to eat, no hot water to drink, and if you continue to get sick and die, you have to go back to the village with us." ”

These words were completely for Lin Dui's consideration. Lin Du himself knew that it was impossible for him to live in the wild for a long time, and he would always eat wild fruits and drink raw water from the pond, and sooner or later he would get sick. Since entering the Suoyuan Flower Forest, he has already had a high fever once, and almost died twice, if he really dies of illness in the wild in the future, it will be impossible to see his mother again. The girl was very kind, Lin Du couldn't help but look at her more, and the other party nodded at him vigorously, but he still shook his head and said, "I don't want to stay here, I just want to go home, can you take me out of the valley?"

"Can't!" This time, without the girl's instructions, the boy preemptively denied Lin Dui's request, "Foreigners who enter the valley can't go out again, otherwise the location of the entrance will be exposed." Also, only the clansmen who have cultivated to the level of the five vortexes or above will go out, and my sister and I can't get out, let alone take you out. ”

I see. If what the boy said was true, he would probably be locked up here forever. Lin Du couldn't help but look at the girl with some disappointment, and the girl also nodded lightly in affirmation, seeing that he looked depressed, he quickly made a series of gestures, and the boy translated: "You don't have to be afraid, we are all good people, and when you get to the village, no one will hurt you." ”

The girl's eyes are like a warm spring, which makes people want to believe it for no reason. The boy also lost most of his hostility towards Lin Dui after this brief exchange, only because his head was almost not broken, and he was still a little angry. As they said, they didn't seem to mean to hurt Lin Dui, and the village should be all good people.

Lin Duan unconsciously relaxed his fists and gradually retracted his defensive posture. Looking at the girl's eyes, he hesitated, if he couldn't get out of the valley, then there was no other way to choose, he could only go into the village, maybe he could find someone in the village to help him get out of the valley, even if there was a possibility of encountering Li Haichao, he couldn't care about it. It's just that tonight's events happened a little suddenly, and he was not mentally prepared, and he was a little reluctant to "mung beans". After thinking about it, he still rejected their kindness: "Thank you, but I still want to think about it." If you don't want to arrest me, I'll go first. ”

After speaking, Lin Du glanced at the two siblings again, and slowly walked past the two children. His legs were still a little sore, and he was limping when he walked. When the boy saw that he didn't appreciate him, his little face was a little angry, and he wanted to rush up and stop him, but his sister grabbed his hand and struggled a few times without breaking free. The sister and brother stood side by side in the melon field, watching Lin Du slowly walk away along the stone path. The girl gestured again and asked, "His legs are out of the way, right?"

The boy pouted, "Sister, why do you care so much about him, he doesn't believe us!"

The girl gesticulated, "He's not a bad guy. ”

"Hmph, I don't think it's a good person, right, otherwise how could I be left outside?"

The girl took the boy's hand and walked back to the stone path, looked at Lin Dui's back from a distance for a while, turned around and gestured to the boy again, "Let's go up and have a look." ”

"What's there to see? Tell the fourth grandfather tomorrow and arrest him?" the boy said very puzzledly, "You have to go yourself, I'm thirsty, I want to eat melons." ”

The girl shook her head helplessly, and when she saw that her brother had shaken off her hand and ran into the melon field to find the ripe watermelon, she had no choice but to turn around and quietly follow Lin Du alone, chasing down the stone road.
