After only staying for two days, Bai Ya and the others left Gechen Country. The day in between was used to sober up. Not to mention that although the wine they drank here was not strong, it had great stamina. It took a whole day to recover.
Liu Shenghan was not used to their problems. Apart from helping to serve them a cup of tea to relieve their hangover, he also did not bring them any meals. You should be hungry. Who told you not to think about today when you were drinking.
On the day of departure, they all came to their senses and said nothing about their unbelievable drunken behaviors. Qi Huan usually talked a lot and kept talking about everything from when he was a child to peeing on the bed to when he grew up.
At what age did you read inappropriate reading materials?
, going on in detail. Jun Aoyan was different—tears kept falling, and she didn’t say anything when asked, just because she felt miserable, and everyone who saw it felt sad along with her. Qi Huan also patted her hard.
He touched her back and said vaguely:
"Don't cry! You're a sissy... man - you can't cry! We are - good buddies! Don't worry, brothers will definitely accompany you to find your father. If... I mean, if he can't be found,
My father is your father!"
But when it came to his father, he seemed to have ten thousand grievances in his heart, and tears immediately came out. The ending was that the two hugged each other and cried bitterly. Although no one could explain clearly what the situation was, the scene still smelled
Those who are saddened will cry when they see them. After all, it is a big world
During the day, the sound coming from the guest room was still very disturbing. The waiter came to the door to persuade her countless times, but Liu Shenghan could not do anything. She just said lightly, just treat it like two people mourning. Whose mourning is it? That person named Bai
Isn't it like a dead person, unable to move in bed?
"I bought a new blank notebook." Liu Shenghan suddenly said on the carriage, "Geshenguo's paper is cheaper."
"What do you want to remember?" Jun Aoyan asked casually.
"See for yourself."
Jun Aoyan took the book on the swaying carriage, opened the first page, and her eyes widened.
A record of drunkenness, written by Qi Huan.
"You, you, why are you writing this?"
Ao Yan quickly scanned her part. There were not many scenes, and there was nothing embarrassing. But this did not mean that Liu Shenghan really didn't hear it. She was extremely nervous, and she was more scared than before when she saw the two monarchs.
"I wrote it down when I had nothing to do. Well, there are some paintings at the back, but I just roughly traced the edges with ink. I'm afraid I'll forget them over time. After all, these interesting things are worth remembering."
"What's the fun?"
Qi Huan stretched out his arm and suddenly pulled the book from Jun Aoyan's shoulder from behind, holding it in his hand to read. Not to mention, it was really a painting. With just a few strokes, the characteristics of the person were outlined, and they could be recognized at a glance.
Who is who? This painting shows the scene where Qi Huan is kicked off the bed by Bai Ya, but his eyes are closed.
I don't know if it was intentional or not. Qi Huan was speechless for a moment, thought for a long time, and suddenly tore off the page. Liu Shenghan's quick hands and eyes were about to snatch it back, but he only took back the book. Qi Huan held the page and was about to throw it out, but he was afraid of being exposed to the wind.
When it hit someone else's face, he became anxious and stuffed it into his mouth. Liu Shenghan had no choice but to do it.
During the whole process, Bai Ya only frowned when he saw him stuffing the paper into his mouth. The rest of the time, he didn't say anything. He was probably thinking about something. He just took the time to curse:
"The ghost who eats money."
"Hey, you guys talked about the mining area that Mother Xiangji mentioned. Will there be a lot of money?"
"Are you dreaming?"
"Yes. Even if there is, wouldn't it be dug up by the people around you?"
"What if they don't know the goods and leave other treasures behind?" Qi Huan was unwilling to accept it.
"It's not very likely." Liu Shenghan touched the broken page of the book, "People who rely on mountains and rivers and live near minerals should make the best use of everything, and it's not the turn of others to pick up the slack."
"It's boring..."
They did not mention this matter in front of the Queen and the National Master of Gechen Kingdom. First, because the Queen was a child, they felt that there was no need to say so much to a child, and it might not be able to help, and it would only add trouble. Secondly, they felt that the Queen was a child.
The leader was a national master, and he didn't seem to be an easy talker, so the four of them tacitly agreed not to mention anything.
"...Fortunately, the singer didn't ask any more questions." Thinking of this, Qi Huan sighed. I don't know if he swallowed the page or hid it. Anyway, he didn't see it. However,
His mouth was a little dry and he swallowed hard after saying a few words.
"But that doesn't mean she doesn't know." Liu Shenghan said, "The God of Song and the God of Fragrance were originally musicians in the heaven, and their relationship is extraordinary. What's more, she actually knows about me... The two parties must have close contacts.
Since she claims to be a god, there must be a faster way to communicate. She probably knows exactly what happened. She didn't even ask about Lan Po, and she probably isn't interested in us at the moment - she doesn't believe we have this strength.
This is a good thing. No matter how you are targeted by that kind of god, it is never that simple."
"That's right, it's better to do less than to do more." Aoyan agreed.
"Having said that..." Qi Huan changed the subject, "According to what you said, then Wu Xiaying should have been eaten out by others, right? Then wouldn't our trip have been in vain?"
"Look for it in hidden places, and you can always find it."
Liu Shenghan unfolded the map, and Bai Ya leaned his head over. The direction pointed by Xiangji's mother was in a mountainous area. That was the domain of the bird god Garuda. Because the distance was too far, the mother of the state had no idea what was going on there.
Knowing very little, they also
They didn’t want to ask any more gods. Moreover, because these two countries were considered self-sufficient, they had no trade relations with Garuda’s territory. They only heard from the tavern that there were many monsters in that area, and there were probably no humans at all.
.
Although Jiutian Kingdom is small, it is only compared to their Jiuzhou Continent. It is not that easy to actually walk. Although the so-called sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, but here, the tiny land is also covered with mountains, rivers and forests. They walked all the way
After experiencing all kinds of things, the hottest time was spent
During the journey, they had seen some strange animals and plants in that dense forest. But with Liu Shenghan, they could know what they were. Even many of them were edible, that's all
It was missed. But in terms of species, there are more in the dense forest.
This journey also made them discover that not everyone belongs to a certain country. Many small towns or villages are scattered on the land of Jiutian Kingdom. Some people have faith and some do not. These villages
The number of people in villages and villages is slowly decreasing, because they all have to go to big cities and big countries. Except for most elderly people, it is really inconvenient to move around, or their thoughts are deeply ingrained and they cannot believe in other gods.
"In our case, it's the elderly who are easily deceived."
Ao Yan was so emotional, Qi Huan said:
"After all, the old man is homeless and needs someone to rely on. But it's different here. The main targets of these gods are young people. Teenagers who are half-grown are also easy to deceive. As long as you control the children in a place, you can catch them.
The future that lives here... the power of children is very powerful."
"They are all tools." Bai Ya shouted casually. Although the words didn't sound good, they couldn't be faulted. The same is true for any country and any era.
Although the weather in Jiutian Kingdom is changeable, the overall climate is relatively stable. Spring had just begun when Bai Ya and Qi Huan went to sea, and it may be the hottest time here. But after crossing the desert, there are many plants here. Overall
It's quite refreshing, but it's a bit dull before and after the rain. Liu Shenghan said that the winter here is not cold, it can only be called slightly cool, and you can survive the winter without a coat. Except for the very high mountains, there is no
It will snow.
The materials and money were slowly used up. After all, here, the value and price of items were different from their understanding, so it was difficult to plan and spend them. After they finally found out the approximate prices and changed places, it was again
A price. One day, they saw a majestic mountain in the distance with white snow on the top. It was said that that was the territory governed by the Bird God. Finally, they saw hope and hoped that the money would be enough.
There was a larger village in the nearby mountainous area, which they had seen from a distance. The four of them decided to rest there for a few days to find out more about the situation nearby and avoid taking rash actions.
Like many places I have visited before, the residents here are mainly old people. The slight difference is that these old people are not so gray-haired and their eyes are dim. To be precise, most of them are in their sixties.
There is no one who is younger and stronger, and there is no one who is getting old.
People. And although this place is large, it is even more empty. Many houses are empty, and their doors are closed and locked. Have they moved out? When passing by a family, a corner of the paper window was broken. I prayed.
Huan tore open the hole and found that the inside was in a mess, as if it had been robbed.
"strangeness……"
"It's useless to think about it now." Bai Ya just walked, "Just find a family to stay at and find out more about it."
The atmosphere in the entire village is very depressed. Because the roads are in disrepair and vary in width, they tie the carriages and horses at the entrance of the village, so no one will come to steal them. There are almost no people on the street, and occasionally a lonely uncle can be seen under the shade of a tree.
Smoking cigarettes, or a wrinkled woman was picking up the soles of her shoes. There was no restaurant here, and the ones that were there were closed. Finally, Bai Ya came to a tree, where a middle-aged woman was threading a needle.
"Want to help?"
It was really rare that Master Bai took the initiative to lend a helping hand. However, the woman didn't hear anything and continued to squint her eyes.
"Excuse me." Jun Aoyan also stepped forward, but she still didn't seem to hear him.
Qi Huan suddenly stretched out his hand and shook it between her and the needle and thread, and the woman raised her head. Her eyes and ears probably didn't work well, so she faced the sun and squeezed her eyes into a slit, looking at them with difficulty.
"Are you..." Her voice was a little vague, "Are you a monster, or..."
"How to talk?" Bai Ya was a little dissatisfied, "How do we look like monsters?"
"There is no one left in our family..."
There was something old and desolate in her voice and tone. This was a bit strange. Her tone was indifferent to life and death, which made several people not know how to speak. Maybe they still didn't hear, Jun Aoyan leaned into her ear
Side, shout loudly:
"We are not monsters! We want to inquire about something!"
"Not...a monster?" The woman put down her needlework and paused, then stretched her head to look at them, "I've never seen you, never...then are you from outside? Where?"
"A place far, far away!"
It would take more time to explain it to her, so let’s keep it simple.
"It's - people from outside, people from outside..."
She muttered repeatedly and hastily packed up the sewing box in her hand. She was probably very familiar with her things, so she didn't hurt her hand. She just moved a little tremblingly, and it was heart-wrenching to watch. She stood up slowly and said to them:
"Then you must be starving...you five, come with me."
"Excuse me!" Qi Huan also shouted loudly. Her ears were not particularly bad. She waved her hand, so she must have heard.
Wait, five?
The four people looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong. Bai Ya suddenly turned around, pulled out his scimitar, and pointed the tip of the knife at the person who appeared behind them at some point. The other three were also somewhat frightened, but they didn't expect anyone to know anything.
