"The weather is really getting colder." Although there were only chartered guests on the train, all the services on the train were carried out as usual. Early in the morning, Ali who came to deliver the lunch suddenly said.
There is a little monster in front of him and behind him. Ali's clothes are no longer thick enough. Now, the clothes on her little monster are still his old cotton-padded clothes that Heidan thought "little sister is a little cold".
Heidan likes to be pretty, and Ajin seems to be keen to support his hobby. As a result, Heidan has a lot of beautiful little padded jackets after his trip to the north.
After realizing that the two little girls on Ali's back began to runny nose, Heidan immediately sent out two pieces of his own flower clothes, which made Ali grateful to him, knowing that this little monster likes to drink hot water, and when the fuel has been exhausted. In a very tense situation, Ali still simmered a pot of hot water for him by the stove. The black egg is a small monster with a generous head. When Ali gave him hot water, he took out neinei powder and asked Chiu Chiu to make him milk. , and then drink with two little girls.
Ali came more diligently.
The cheapness of a little monster like Lao Zhan doesn't sound outrageous. Ali refunded them all the car rental fees they had collected before, and then used the money to exchange for a lot of cans of neinei powder from Black Egg.
"This is a good thing. The reason why our children grow so strong is to drink piggy milk every day, that is, our family drives a train and goes to the east every day, so that we can buy children's drinks. The reason why I don’t want to take you back this time is because I haven’t purchased enough pack milk yet, but I didn’t know there was such a thing as neinei powder. It’s really a good thing! With it, we will You don’t have to buy milk and drink it quickly, and you can store it for a while.”
Ali first sighed about the great invention of neinei powder, and then her face sank: "Purwanda has not had fresh camel milk into the store for a long time, it should have been warmer here in the past, but now it is getting more and more The colder it gets, even the rails are starting to freeze, and I now really believe what you and I told me about what happened in the north is true."
After all, he was an old acquaintance. As soon as he got on the train, Crystal told Ali about what he had seen and heard. Unfortunately, Ali didn't believe it. Change, Ali has begun to be suspicious.
The fuel consumption of the train is fully twice as much as before, and now it is even trending to triple. The rails are blocked by ice. Ali has to send one-third of her family to the front to clean up the rails in advance. The fuel is tight. The power unit is used first, and the heating equipment on the train is now stopped.
Fortunately, no monster knew what was going on better than Jihuan and his party, and they fully understood it.
Just before they were about to enter the border town next to the desert, when they were still about 300 meters away, no matter how meticulously maintained by Ali's family, the railroad tracks were all frozen.
The train stopped.
"I completely believe what you said now." Ali's expression has become very serious.
"Look! Our two clans are old friends. Although we are liars and robbers, no one will lie to you!" Crystal immediately raised her eyebrows. This monster, who was always stable in front of Jihuan, looked at him in Ali The grown-up monster aunt also became a lot more lively in front of her.
"Look at what you said—" Grit stopped him in a deep voice, and then respectfully said to Ajin and Jihuan:
"Welcome back, Mr. Ji."
In preparation for this, Grit sent his tribesmen to guard the place where the railroad tracks must pass early in the morning, and immediately notified himself to come over as soon as he found the figure of the train.
For Jihuan and his party, he is sincerely grateful and trusting.
After Crystal tried to contact him and told him what happened in the north, he immediately believed it and immediately began to arrange the next thing.
He was going to leave the desert and go west.
Regarding his arrangement, he also asked Jingjing to tell Jihuan in advance. He just informed him. In fact, he did not want to get the help of Jihuan and other monsters in this regard. In his opinion, the other party's help to his family has already That's enough, but "Mr. Ji" once again graciously said that they could go together to Yuma City where he lived, and he would arrange a place for them to live next.
At this moment, Grit only had one thought: "Oh! Bless the devil, they are fighting against the monster!"
The pack beasts are excited and full of anticipation for leaving their hometown.
After all, they had long wanted to leave here and live in a more suitable place, but they were trapped in the fact that many clansmen couldn't transform themselves and couldn't find a good job. Now that they have the arrangement of good-hearted monsters, what are they afraid of? Of course, it is to pack up softly, and the big bags and small bags are ready to go.
Long before Jihuan and his party arrived, they had already turned into pack animals, helping each other to hang up their luggage, and waiting for Jihuan and the others to carry people after they arrived.
"Ali, we are going to leave this place where we have lived for hundreds of years and go to live in a city in the west. Something big happened in the north. Crystal has already told you? The climate has changed a lot these days, you must have seen it. Now, what are your plans next, do you want to consider moving?" Crystal assigned a combination of pack beasts and monsters next to her, and during this time, Grit continued to talk to Ali.
Sand Gravel is the leader of the pack beasts, and Ali is the leader of their large clan. She has no doubt that she has the highest decision-making power for the future arrangement of the clan.
"You can leave the desert with us. In terms of understanding of this desert, no monster can surpass us." Grit said to her.
Their conversation did not shy away from Ajin and Jihuan. When they were talking, Ajin and Jihuan stood by and listened.
From Jihuan's point of view, the relationship between these two ethnic groups is really good. When they are fleeing, they can still think of pulling each other out. This is a real friendship.
He thought Ali would definitely agree.
Who knows—
Ali shook her head.
"Thank you, Grit."
"But I can't just leave."
Ali refused.
"The railway track left by our ancestors for generations is frozen, and the train is frozen on it. We have to repair the train and the railway track no matter what we say. There are other passengers behind. Although the road is very difficult, but I am here. Bian has already received some bookings, so I have to go back and get out again."
"After all, after so many years of monopolizing business, collecting high-priced train tickets, and being patronized for so many years, I can't run away on my own at this time. I can't control other lines, at least our line. These passengers who bought the tickets are all taken to their destination!"
Ali said, and suddenly smiled heartily.
Ji Huan's eyes widened slightly, and at this moment, he felt that the big and three thick female monster in front of him was actually full of courage and momentum.
Beautiful!
"I really can't help you. This is the map I drew. After you finish your errands, if you still want to go, just follow this map." As if she knew that Ali might not agree, Grit from her arms He took out a piece of parchment paper and handed it to Ali.
"Thank you! Gravel." Ali waved her hand cheerfully.
The train family continued to get busy, cleaning the rails, refueling, steaming new train lunches, and returning to pick up the last passengers.
Jihuan and other monsters will re-enter the desert on the backs of the pack beasts, and after a long desert journey, they can reach the western city!
"She's really amazing." The figures of Ali and other monsters were getting farther and farther away, and Ji Huan said to A Jin next to him.
Grit was walking beside them, and when he heard Ji Huan's words, he said, "This is the persistence of the family business! As short-lived species, our single-headed monsters are destined to not accumulate too much survival experience, nor reach high levels. The ability of super-order monsters is so powerful, but we rely on the ethnic group to live, all the monsters live together from generation to generation, and there is word of mouth from the elders, so that we can live as well as we are now."
"The job that the elders chose for us to make a living is also a very important property. Since we have done it, we must do it well."
Grit says so.
Jihuan and Ajin were both thoughtful.
It wasn't until they sat in the car pulled by the two pack beasts again that A Jin suddenly said, "I like these monsters."
Ji Huan turned his head to look at him.
"For a long time, I have not known what meaning I have in my life other than revenge. The pursuit of power has become the only goal. I read a lot of books, and what I want to get in the books is probably a kind of thing. I have come into contact with many monsters, but the ones I have come into contact with are the same monsters as me."
"Life is long with no end in sight, and we spend a lot of time thinking."
"However, in many cases, the most important thing is actually the monsters and things that are within reach."
Ah Jin said, his dark eyes turned to Ji Huan.
Seeing him like this, Ji Huan suddenly felt his face warm up.
Ajin immediately looked away from the window, and Jihuan noticed that his gaze was on the pack beasts galloping in the desert.
"Before our long life is over, other beings in this world have reproduced for many generations, and they may not have strong power or long lifespan, but they are very clear about what they want. What is precious."
"They are no longer clumps of demonic energy, nor are they scattered and recyclable forces, but complete lives, complete consciousness bodies, and complete families."
Ji Huan didn't quite understand the last sentence. He couldn't see A Jin's expression, because A Jin was looking out the window now, and all that was left for him was the black back of his head.
His eyes finally fell on the black egg riding Xiao Huang together with A Jin's.
Noticing the eyes of the parents, Heidan immediately "driven" with Xiao Huang to the side of the car they were riding in.
Open your little claws, and the little monster wants to hug.
Then Ah Jin took him in.
A gentle gaze fell on the little monster spread between his legs, A Jin said:
"I used to think my existence was for the moment it ended, but now I don't think that way anymore."
"Before we leave this world, let's leave something for the black egg."
"Just like Ms. Ali's train and rails, something that Black Egg can proudly guard in the rest of his life."
He said, raising his head.
Then, Ji Huan finally saw A Jin's expression clearly.
Although it is still black hair and black eyes and a black cloak.
However-
At this moment, Jin is shining brightly.
Jihuan's eyes shone brightly.
