Exhaling a puff of thick smoke, Lin Cheng turned his wrist and flicked the ashes, and then whispered: "I understand what you mean, this matter... let's put it to an end for now!"
After saying that, he curled his index finger, flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, and then turned around and left.
Looking at Lin Cheng's retreating figure, Ling Sheng wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start. In the end, all he could say was a sigh, and he finally looked back at the stone door that was still closed.
Finally, he waved to Ling Meng and walked out on the road Lin Cheng had just walked.
…
After passing through Lincheng, they were struggling in the stone cave with the rune stone gate. At this time, the Yemei tribe's base camp was also in a commotion. If Ling Sheng hadn't been worried about something happening and sent Yunfeng out to take charge of the overall situation early, maybe these things would have happened.
The Yemei people had already rushed into the depths of the cave full of secrets.
Not paying attention to these noisy Ye Mei tribe members, Lin Cheng walked out of the cave and nodded to Yun Feng, who was calming the tribe members in front of him, and walked directly to Ling Zhong's office.
“Bang bang bang!”
Knocking hard on the door several times, but seeing that no one came to open the door for him after waiting for a long time, Lin Cheng shook his head helplessly, squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then took out a notebook from his backpack and tore off a piece of paper.
Then I started writing quickly.
"What to write?"
Just when Lin Cheng was about to finish writing, Ling Zhong's voice suddenly came from above his head. Looking up, he saw Ling Zhong looking at him and the paper full of words with a strange look on his face.
Shaking his head slightly, seeing Ling Zhong back, Lin Cheng directly crumpled the piece of paper that was intended to be a message, then stood up and said: "Seeing that you are not here, I am going to leave a note..."
"How could I be here at this time?"
Hearing this, Ling Zhong couldn't help but laugh and said: "You and that boy Ling Sheng have made so many big noises in the cave again and again. How can I, an elder, have the time to sit in my office and drink tea!"
"I'm causing trouble for you..."
Realizing that Ling Zhong was a little out of breath when he said these words, Lin Cheng looked carefully and realized that this elder of the Yemei Tribe who was always energetic had a hint of fatigue on his face at this time. He must have even not gone deep into the cave with his group.
Among them, just trying to stabilize the overall situation outside has already exhausted him enough.
"If so."
Waving his hand nonchalantly, Ling Sheng stepped forward, took out the key and opened the door to his office, then waved to him to enter the room.
Seeing this, Lin Cheng, who was about to leave directly, couldn't help but look down on the old man. He nodded and walked into the house.
After closing the door, Ling Zhong first poured a glass of water for Lin Cheng, handed it to him, and then continued: "I understand that boy Ling Sheng. If he hadn't found something terrible in that cave, he wouldn't have done it at all.
He might spend so long in there with you! And the only things that interest him at this stage are probably those clues about the existence of the Ye Mei clan..."
"Oh, I can't tell you, old man, you still have this skill?"
Seeing that Ling Zhong had guessed most of their group's experience in the cave in a few words, Lin Cheng was immediately impressed by this old man with a gray beard who looked like an old man playing erhu on the street. After all, he had been playing erhu from beginning to end.
For those who have never set foot in that cave, they can guess most of the situation inside as if they have witnessed the whole process. It is indeed remarkable.
"Ah……"
Hearing Lin Cheng's praise, Ling Zhong couldn't help but laugh and said: "If we talk about strength, ten of us will never be your opponent, but in life, especially in this troubled world, strength is actually only one part, and the rest is
The lower part relies on wisdom! No matter how you say it, I am several dozen years older than you. If I don’t even have this ability, how can I be able to sit firmly in the position of the elder of the Yemei clan? "
"Thank you for your reminder."
Sensing the emotion and instructions in Ling Zhong's words, Lin Cheng nodded vigorously. Although he had seen too many conspiracies and tricks since the end of the world, he never thought that he was much smarter than these people, especially with Ling.
Compared with such a cunning and scheming old fox, he is still too young.
After waving his hand, Ling Zhong did not discuss the matter further. He changed the subject and asked, "I won't ask you what exactly you found in that cave. Anyway, with that guy Ling Sheng's temper, he must have
They will come to me for analysis, and since you came out of the cave and found this place directly, does that mean you are ready to leave?"
"That's right."
Hearing this, Lin Cheng nodded lightly, "Things didn't develop as smoothly as I expected, and I don't have much time to continue spending here. I can only leave temporarily, but if I find a new one in the future,
If I find any clues, I might come back here again..."
"Yeah?"
Seeing Lin Cheng's unconcealed disappointment when he said these words, Ling Zhong didn't ask any more questions, just nodded, and then said with a smile: "As long as you control your emotions and don't act recklessly, I personally welcome you to be a guest here again.
Yes! In fact, putting aside the previous grievances, I actually admire you very much. After all, whether among humans or the Ye Mei tribe, young and promising little guys like you are really rare..."
As he spoke, Ling Zhong's tone seemed to be associated with the confusion of his own clan's future, and his tone became lower and lower, and in the end it was almost inaudible.
Taking out a cigarette and lighting it, Lin Cheng did not disturb Ling Zhong's contemplation. He took out paper and pen again to write and draw for a while. When Ling Zhong came to his senses, he directly handed the paper in his hand to him and said: "I used to
I promised your little princess Lingmeng that she would give her a mobile phone, but as you can see, today is not a suitable opportunity, so I can only ask you to give her this note if you have time, and tell her that you can do it at any time.
Go to the Blue Sea Base to retrieve the mobile phone that belongs to her."
"oh?"
Seeing Lin Cheng's serious expression when explaining, Ling Zhong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "You and Meng'er, don't you...?"
Seeing Ling Zhong looking at him with a weird look on his face, Lin Cheng suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I said, don't think too much, old man, my orientation is quite normal, I only like serious human girls, Princess Ling
It’s better to leave it to your own clansmen to digest it internally!”
Seeing that Lin Cheng actually demoted his granddaughter, whom he regarded as the apple of his eye, to be worthless, Ling Zhong immediately became unhappy, "You brat! Our Meng'er, from appearance to figure, is top notch among humans and the Ye Mei tribe.
Don’t say you don’t like its existence, even if you do, it’s useless!”
"Yes, yes, I don't deserve it, I understand, I understand!"
Following Ling Zhong's words, Lin Cheng simply nodded and admitted: "So I won't go and say goodbye to them one by one, so as not to let you think that I am taking advantage of the opportunity, just remember to hand the note to that person."
Just a girl, by the way, I also told Clan Leader Ling that I will come back here when I find new clues, so that he can learn something about that matter, you know?"
After saying that, he stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand, stood up and nodded to Ling Zhong, then opened the door and walked out. (To be continued)
