East of Nanhuangzhou.
The season has entered summer, and with the gradual increase of rain, the weather has gradually become hot.
"It's May." Xu Qing, who had been on three poles every day and finished the course, left from Master Bai's tent, looked up at the blue sky, looked at the dazzling sun, and murmured.
Before he knew it, two months had passed since he arrived at the camp.
Recalling his experience in Blood Rain City two months ago seems to have passed for a long time, but in Xu Qing's heart, it is still vivid in his mind.
But compared to when he lived in the slum more than two months ago, he has changed a lot.
Whether it is the improvement of his cultivation, or the harvest of knowledge of plants and trees, Xu Qing feels that he is constantly growing.
And he also ate a lot of meat under the abundant food of Thunder Team during this time, so his body became slightly refined from the original thin.
It is also because of the practice of the Sea Mountain Art that he has extremely strong masculine energy and blood, and the breath that instinctively exudes from all over his body gives people a sharp meaning.
Perhaps there is also the reason for copying the knife in the temple. Xu Qing's eyes are much brighter than others, and the more copied, the more like this.
Especially as he went to take classes with Master Bai, the accumulation of knowledge also added a layer of scholar's temperament to him.
All of this has made Xu Qing's hands accustomed to being clean. Even if the dirt on his face still hasn't been washed off, he can't hide his delicate features.
This can be seen from the long-awaited calls to him by the dusty women in the tents with feathers in the camp.
But Xu Qing didn't pay attention to these, and his mood has been a little low these days.
On the one hand, the Flower of Destiny was not found, and on the other hand, Lei Team's old age and weakness became more and more obvious.
Therefore, Xu Qing went to the jungle in the restricted area less and less. Every day after Master Bai's class, he would instinctively go to his residence. Even if he practiced alone most of the time, Xu Qing would feel at ease when he felt the thunder team next door. a lot of.
He cherished the meal time every night.
Today, the same is true. Xu Qing, who was walking silently in the camp, ignored the scavengers around him and went to the grocery store first.
After seeing his figure, the busy little girl ran behind the counter without saying a word, took out a pot of wine from it, and handed it directly to Xu Qing.
tsxsw.la
She is used to these days, Xu Qing buys wine at this time every day.
"Thank you." Xu Qing said softly, looking at the scar on the little girl's face.
Although there are hideous scars, the little girl is very optimistic. She smiled at Xu Qing. When she wanted to say something, she was called over by other scavengers.
Xu Qing didn't mind, he was about to leave with the jug, but his back fell into the corner of the little girl's vision. She hurriedly said a few words to the scavenger, ran to the gate, looked at Xu Qing who was about to walk away, and suddenly shouted a sound.
"Little brother."
Xu Qing paused, and when he looked back, the little girl ran over quickly.
After approaching Xu Qing, she stretched out her right hand towards Xu Qing, with a piece of candy in it.
"I don't know why you're feeling down lately, but every time I'm unhappy, my mother will give me candy, and when I eat it, I'm happy."
"This is my last piece of candy, for you."
As the little girl said, for fear of Xu Qing's rejection, she put it directly in his hand and ran to the store quickly until she reached the door of the store. She looked back at Xu Qing and shouted loudly.
"Little brother, be happy!"
Xu Qing stood there in a daze, watching the figure of the little girl walk into the shop, he looked down at the candy in his hand, for a long time... He carefully put away the candy.
On the way back, there was a commotion in the camp. From a distance, Xu Qing saw two convoys outside the camp, coming one after the other.
Whether it was the brand newness of the carriage or the robustness of the horses, the convoy in front was far beyond anything Xu Qing had ever seen before. There were not only guards, but also three or five middle-aged men, and the psionic energy emanating from their bodies fluctuated significantly. tough.
And they are clearly not the heart of the team.
With the arrival of the convoy, a group of young men and women walked down from the inside. They were all about sixteen or seventeen years old. They were strutting, brightly dressed, and fair-skinned. At the same time, the men were handsome and the women were beautiful.
Obviously, their backgrounds and identities are very extraordinary. At this moment, they seem to dislike the mess in the camp, so when they camp outside the camp, the sense of bossiness is very obvious.
And every one seems to be surrounded by entourages, about a hundred of them serve the fifteen or sixteen boys and girls.
And the second team behind them, although not bad, but compared with the former, it obviously has a sense of vulgarity.
And obviously they knew the identities of those young men and women, so the second team was reluctant to contact the former along the way, avoiding them and entering the camp, and the people who walked down were mostly low-key.
Xu Qing swept away this.
The convoys in the camp will appear every three to five, either issuing missions or entering the restricted area alone, and there are everyone in it.
This is also the basis for the existence of scavenger camps, and Xu Qing is used to it.
When he returned to his residence, he saw Lei Team in the yard moving his body. Under the sun, Lei Team had the meaning of twilight on his body, and Xu Qing's heart was even lower when he saw it.
"You bought me wine again, not bad." Lei Dui said with a smile, noticing the jug in Xu Qing's hand.
"Okay, you go to clean up the kitchen, I'll go outside and buy some ingredients." Lei Dui said, and left with his hands behind his back.
This was what he had agreed with Xu Qing, and he had to buy the ingredients. Xu Qing did not refuse, but gave more rent.
Seems like that's how he gets along with the Thunder.
On this day, Team Lei came back earlier than usual. Xu Qing had just finished cleaning up the kitchen when he walked back with some meat, smiled at Xu Qing, and started cooking.
Xu Qing sat next to him and studied as usual, but when he looked at it, he felt that something was wrong... If things go on like this, the meal time will be earlier today, no longer in the evening.
Realizing this, Xu Qing understood something in his heart. Watching the busy Thunder Team hesitant to say anything, he finally fell silent.
Team Thunder was as usual, talking while cooking.
The parents are short and middle, the evening has not arrived, and the food has already been cooked. After placing it on the table, Team Lei looked at Xu Qing who was silent and touched his head.
"Child, I've already purchased the entry qualification for Songtao City. I'll pack my luggage later, and I'll leave early tomorrow." Lei Dui picked up the wine he bought for him for a long time and took a sip.
Xu Qing was deadlocked, and after a long silence, he lowered his head and said softly.
"So soon?"
Lei Dui didn't speak, and after a long time there was laughter.
"Actually, I bought it a long time ago, and I haven't told you. You don't have to be reluctant. In this world, there is no such thing as a banquet." Lei Dui said, and took another gulp of wine.
"Come on, eat."
Xu Qing looked at the vicissitudes of the Lei team, and silently picked up the fast food and ate it silently. The food this day should be delicious, but in Xu Qing's mouth, there is no taste.
Lei Dui watched all this and sighed in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face, talking about trivial matters in the camp, until after a stick of incense, Xu Qing suddenly spoke.
"Don't wait for Cross and Luan Ya, they should be back soon."
"Don't wait, it's probably the same as you when you come back. Besides, you have time in the future, just come and see me."
Lei Dui took out the chimney from his arms and took a sip. The smoke he exhaled covered his expression, making him a little hazy.
This meal, the Thunder team ate very quickly.
Until he left to pack his luggage, Xu Qing still sat there silently, looking at the food on the table, he couldn't eat anymore. After a while, he stood up and didn't go to wash the dishes for the first time, but came to Lei Team's Room.
"Do you really want to leave?" Xu Qing asked softly.
"Don't be so sad, I'm going to live in the city, you have to be happy for me."
Team Lei laughed and called Xu Qing over to help him fold his clothes.
Xu Qing walked over silently, first carefully washing his hands, and then folding them neatly.
With his help, Team Lei's luggage was soon finished, most of which he didn't want and left to Xu Qing.
"As for this house, I'll give it to you too."
"I'll pay the rent." Xu Qing said seriously.
Lei Dui smiled and didn't talk about this topic. Instead, he pulled Xu Qing to sit there, and as time passed, he talked to him about the character of the scavengers in the camp, and the focus was on the camp owner.
"The camp owner is not a simple person, his background is the King Kong Sect."
"And the King Kong Sect is the number one force in this large area. Dozens of cities and camps are under their control, and its ancestor is a strong foundation-building powerhouse. You will be here in the future, and you will have to deal with him. Always be vigilant."
Speaking of which, it was very late outside, Xu Qing noticed the tiredness on Lei Dui's face, and silently stood up and left.
Looking at his figure for a long time, Lei Dui sighed softly.
And that night was also the first night that Xu Qing had not practiced since this time.
He sat there staring blankly at the night outside until he saw the sky turning white, until he saw the light of the early sun.
"It's gone so fast." Xu Qing muttered, a feeling of melancholy pervading his heart. He didn't leave the room at this time as usual, but waited for the sound of Thunder Team opening the door before he walked out slowly.
In the early sun, the morning sun was falling, and the old and the young in the yard stared at each other.
"Child, I'm leaving." After a long time, Lei Dui showed a smile on his face.
"I send you."
"No, go to class now."
"I send you."
"you… "
"I'll take you off." Xu Qing looked at Lei Team and spoke again.
Lei Dui looked at Xu Qing, and after a while, he showed helplessness and nodded.
In this way, one old and one young two people, in this early morning camp, before most of the other scavengers woke up, they moved forward and left. When they passed Master Bai's tent, Xu Qing ran over.
Master Bai has not arrived yet, and the young Chen Feiyuan is not there, only Tingyu is there carrying the pharmacopoeia.
"Please, take a day off for me." After seeing Tingyu, Xu Qing spoke quickly, bowed to her, and turned to leave.
Tingyu was a little surprised. When she went out, she saw Xu Qing and Lei Dui go away.
The light of the early sun shone down on the ground, reflected in front of Xu Qing and Lei Dui, and shrouded their figures further and further away.
Along the way, Xu Qing took Lei Team's package and carried it on his back, silently.
Lei Dui had a complicated mind. Looking at the stubborn boy, he wanted to talk about trivial matters about the camp's neighbors as usual, but after a few words, he couldn't go on.
In silence, the two walked into the mountain where they had come, and went to the place where they once rested. At that time, it was the same two of them, the Thunder team standing tall and straight in the front, Xu Qing cautiously behind.
The former is as deep as a sword, while the latter is as lonely as a wolf.
Today, Xu Qing is in the front, and Lei is in the back.
The former is tall and straight like a peak, the latter is staggering and dying.
Here, at Xu Qing's insistence, he carried the old Thunder Team, just like when he was in the jungle.
Lei Dui sighed in his heart, looking at the profile of the young man in front of him, after being silent, he spoke softly.
"After that, in the camp, you have to pay more attention to those scavengers."
"I know that you are very powerful now, but you can't underestimate them, scavengers, they are desperadoes, and it is common for them to do whatever they can..."
"Don't forget to feed the dogs at night, these little guys are the most trustworthy in the camp."
"And you have to remember to eat, don't eat cold, don't be troublesome, eat hot again... You are still growing, so don't be sloppy."
"Otherwise, when you get older, you'll know it's hard. By the way, don't sleep on the bed plank in the future, don't be afraid of getting the quilt dirty, and remember to dry it in the sun after washing."
"and also… "
Lei Dui spoke softly, his words were broken, and contained deep concern.
Xu Qing carried Lei Dui on his back, nodded lightly, and remembered the other party's words in his heart.
Until Lei Dui was talking, when he fell asleep due to his weakness, Xu Qing's footsteps softened when he heard the snoring behind him.
Try to keep yourself from jumping as much as possible, and keep it steady even if you detour.
In this way, he carried the Thunder Team through the wilderness, bypassing the basin, until dusk appeared, as the sky became dark, the corners of the light stretched their figures, and a city was reflected in Xu Qing's eyes.
It was also at this moment that Lei Dui woke up. He looked at the city and the gate, and said softly after a while.
"Here it is."
Xu Qing hummed softly, a feeling of stuffing in his chest, and at Lei Dui's request, he gently put it down.
Taking the package from Xu Qing's hand, Lei Dui looked at the city gate and then at Xu Qing. After a moment of silence, he smiled, raised his hand and touched Xu Qing's head, messing up his hair.
"Children, go back, think of me as an old man in the future, come over at any time, I live in No. 3, Shuiqing Road, south of the city." With that, Lei Dui took his luggage and walked towards the city gate.
Xu Qing stood there, looking at Lei Dui who was walking farther and farther, there were thousands of words in his heart but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only stare blankly.
After reaching the city gate and submitting the eligibility to enter the city, Team Lei suddenly turned around.
He took a deep look at Xu Qing, raised his hand and waved, under the urging of the guard at the city gate, he walked into the city and disappeared.
Xu Qing looked lonely and waited for a long time... When dusk fell and the city gate was closed, his heart suddenly felt empty.
"Take care..." Xu Qing murmured after a long while, turning around bitterly, the feeling of loneliness once again permeated his body.
As the night fell, his lonely figure was gradually obscured.
One goes to the wilderness, one goes to the basin, one goes to the mountain.
further and further.
