Xiaosang Town
The cold wind was bleak, and the mulberry leaves in the icy autumn fell all over the courtyard after a night of rain, and a large part of them were covered with rippling leaf tiles on the roof, adding a bit of wet elegance to this simple and humble house.
When the mulberry leaves fell, silkworm merchants entered the harsh winter ahead of time. This period of time was usually when Zhu Minglang started working as a vagrant.
Wearing a bamboo hat and a coir raincoat, Zhu Minglang was cleaning the fallen leaves smashed by the rain in the yard. With his head down, he suddenly saw a pair of straight and slender jade feet approaching.
Zhu Minglang looked up at her.
She is as cold as ice, and she refuses people thousands of miles away, and there is a bit of murderous intent in her beautiful amber eyes.
Today, she is not as weak as usual, nor is she as peaceful as usual. She has an aura coiled around her body, which is the aura that only exists in a person after he has truly experienced the baptism of war!
It seems that her ability has recovered a little, and of course she is far from her original self. Zhu Minglang has heard many powerful rumors about her.
"You want revenge?" Zhu Minglang asked.
As soon as these words came out, countless silver threads flew out from the Valkyrie's sleeve. They were extremely hard, and quickly gathered into a silver thread sword, hanging on Zhu Minglang's neck.
"I'm the first?" Zhu Minglang asked with a wry smile.
The sword slid across, and the Valkyrie passed by as lightly as a swallow, and immediately there was a bloodstain on Zhu Minglang's neck.
Zhu Minglang remained motionless, waiting for his head to roll to the ground.
But that was just a shallow mark, with some skin torn.
Don't kill yourself
Zhu Minglang clutched his neck and turned his head to look at the tall and graceful back of the Valkyrie.
He didn't thank the Valkyrie for not killing her. After all, if she was really cruel and merciless, she wouldn't have to stretch out her hand to pull him in the dungeon.
"Will I really be imprinted in your heart and become your shame for the rest of your life?" Zhu Minglang asked.
In the past few days, I can always hear stories about the Valkyrie and the homeless man. One is in the palace in the sky and the other is in the stinky cement ditch underground. There is a huge gap in identity but they are lingering together. This is such a hot topic. 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 have Qiao Zhuang like a few days ago, but directly showed her true face, simple and haggard but still magnificent.
"Actually..." Zhu Minglang watched her gradually disappear, and swallowed back the words.
Zhu Minglang also understands.
I am not a disgrace to the Valkyrie, but my humble status today is.
…
She left, Zhu Minglang was in a complicated mood, subconsciously picked a large plump mulberry leaf and put it in the palm of his hand, the little ice worm immediately bounced happily from his shoulder to the mulberry leaf.
"Aren't we going to never go back to the days when we were all powerful?" Zhu Minglang asked casually while holding the little ice worm.
After so many years, Zhu Minglang still hasn't figured out why a good white dragon is entangled with silk overnight, and then its huge body degenerates rapidly in the silk overnight, and finally degenerates into such a white dragon who only knows how to eat mulberry leaves little guy.
The little ice worm turned a deaf ear, and slightly lifted the mulberry leaf with its two almost invisible front paws, like a little doll holding a rice bowl several times bigger than him, and began to gnaw on it with a "rustle".
It twisted its chubby body, made that happy chewing sound, and its big eyes fluttered with satisfaction after eating.
Seeing the cute look of the little guy, Zhu Minglang couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help poking its big belly with the other hand.
The little guy didn't know any shame at all, so he immediately turned over on his stomach, allowing Zhu Minglang to massage him, and let out a "hmm, chirping" tone of enjoyment.
"Ordinary is also good, no pressure, no worries, people don't need us to take responsibility..."
Shaking his head, Zhu Minglang continued to clean up his small yard. In the coming year, he had to grow some big mulberry trees in the back mountain. The little guy's appetite was getting bigger and bigger. If he didn't work hard, he even raised the little ice worms who depended on each other. Great.
"By the way, it's not even noon yet, why is it a bit hot?" Zhu Minglang hadn't been cleaning for a long time, and gradually felt that the cold air was dispelled by something.
Wisps of red light pushed through the dense clouds and mist, rendering this small Sang Town at some point, and even the nearby forests were reflected as red and gorgeous as maple forests at some point.
Zhu Minglang raised his head and looked at the sky.
Isn't the morning already over, why is there such an exaggerated morning glow
These fiery clouds hung upside down like real flames, and in a short period of time, the vast blue sky became extremely gorgeous!
"Crunch~~~"
Before Zhu Minglang could figure out where the sky vision came from, the wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and the Valkyrie, who had just left, stepped in hastily.
Zhu Minglang's eyes lit up...
She has come back.
In fact, I can also grow wintersweet. This winter, Zhu Minglang can be more diligent. As long as she is willing to have a simple meal with me, she will not dislike this small courtyard full of silkworm dung in the future. Well, I can raise you.
"Is it okay not to take revenge?" Zhu Minglang smiled, and he had reached the end of his words, but he didn't wait for him to speak.
"The Valkyrie looked serious, and said very fast: "You act as a member of my clan. "
Before Zhu Minglang could understand what was going on, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open again, and a heroic man in blue and red stripes came over.
Although his attire and appearance were a bit extraordinary, but the most noticeable thing was his extremely pale complexion, as if he was suffering from some stubborn disease, and he didn't have the blood of a normal person at all.
However, his appearance does not have the feeling of being weak and unrestrained, but rather cold and aloof, which makes people feel afraid.
Zhu Minglang looked at the endless glow of fire in the sky, and then at the crimson light from this person's eyes from time to time, and soon understood something.
Dragon Shepherd.
And very strong! !
"Is he the one you said you want to go on the road with?" Luo Xiao asked, looking at Zhu Minglang even more sharply.
"He came here first, and has already reported my current situation to the clan. I will let him clean up the traces of my stay here, and return to Zulong City State tomorrow." Valkyrie said.
Luo Xiao walked over and began to examine Zhu Minglang. He had a serious and doubtful expression, obviously he didn't fully believe what the Valkyrie said.
"Mr. Madam." Zhu Minglang made a clasped fist salute to the Valkyrie, and said without changing his face, "The clan ordered the subordinates to take you back, but no strangers are allowed to accompany you. You are honorable, dignified and beautiful. This subordinate still advises you not to trust people of unknown origin."
"The origin is unknown, I'm originally from the clan... from the clan..." Luo Xiao said halfway, 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 shepherd, not someone of unknown origin as you said." The Valkyrie said.
"Oh, they can be regarded as children of the same clan. Since this is the case, let's go on the road together, and we can take care of each other." Zhu Minglang reluctantly agreed.
First question the person who wants to question yourself, there is a little naughtiness in the wit!
Zhu Minglang couldn't help sighing to himself, his acting skills have not diminished since then!
