Chapter 12: Isolation I
Shante suddenly felt that he had become an outsider, shocked by the conversation just now, he now finally knew why Higg said that the more he knew, the more dangerous it became, so he stood up without hesitation and said, "I didn't hear anything today, let alone say it to the outside world. ”
Higg smiled and said, "It seems that you still don't understand your situation, only the dead don't speak to people." ”
"That's it!" The old man stood up and said, "Shante, you still don't understand the situation outside. The Duke of Arad, the commander of the Third Legion, has united all the rebels and declared war on your Majesty, the empire has long been in chaos, are you loyal to your Majesty, or to the Duke of Arad of the Third Legion? ”
Shante said: "Her Majesty, of course. I said my mission is over and I won't hunt down Higg anymore. ”
"That's not enough!" The old man said, "Since you are loyal to your queen, where will you go after you go out, will you be King Qin, or will you go back to the Third Legion?" Go to King Qin, how can you be King Qin without an army? If you want to be loyal to Her Majesty, you must also have your own strength! ”
"King Qin is a good idea!" "We know that finding Jenny and finding ore is definitely not an easy task, we need strength," Higg said. Heroes emerge in troubled times, I believe that with Shante's ability, he will join the Qinwang Army, start from the junior army commander, and then slowly find a way to develop and grow, with his personal ability, I am afraid that there will be no military merits? ”
The old man's eyes flickered, nodded, and asked, "Shante, what do you think?" ”
"It's okay to go back to King Qin, and I'm willing to start as a small soldier." Shante replied.
"But why did I promise you to go back to King Qin? There are so many of our secrets in you. The old man asked with a smile.
"What the hell are you going to have to do to believe me? I promise you that I will do my best to assist you in finding Jenny or the ore you want. Shante replied.
The old man didn't seem to be satisfied: "No, it's not you who help us, it's Higg who helps you slowly master the army." I believe that you are a good soldier and can fight, but you need someone to help you, and mastering the army is not just by being able to fight. ”
After speaking, the old man looked at Higg, and Higg said very tacitly: "I can't compare to you when I send troops to fight, and you are worse than me when you play conspiracy and tricks." How's that, Mr. Shante? ”
Shante said: "Okay, I promise you, but you must first ensure that King Qin's mission is completed. ”
"Of course, I have to complete King Qin's mission first, and it is very likely that the one who wants my life is Duke Arad, and I just want to take revenge in the name of King Qin." Higg said.
The old man finally smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, heal your injuries first, and set off when your injuries are healed, you go back first, and I will let Lan Xian'er send your equipment over." ”
Higg stood up and walked out of the room with Shante.
Lan Xian'er looked at the old man suspiciously, and asked, "Can the two of them really believe it?" ”
The old man replied, "We have no choice but to trust them." Since Higg is related to Jenny, it should be the key to solving the puzzle. That Shante was loyal to the Queen, and would never ruin Higg's plans for the sake of that traitor to Arad. I'm worried about you, Lan'er, are you ready? ”
Lan Xian'er looked out the window and said, "Yes, am I ready?" ”
At noon, Blue Fairy returned Higg's boots and armor, as well as Shante's sword and armor, and then went back and brought back a pot of porridge and put it on the table.
Higg jumped up and said, "Drink porridge again, can't you get something else, I'm going to eat meat and eat meat, I'm starving and thin, I don't have the strength to go out and work for you." ”
Shante also frowned, and although he didn't speak, his face also showed dissatisfaction.
"But we don't have any other ingredients here, so let's just order them." Lan Xian'er said with a smile.
Higg resisted: "You people here drink porridge all the time? No wonder it is said that as soon as you get outside, you are powerless. I finally understand why Jenny didn't look for you something, because you starved people and lost weight. ”
"I'll try to get whatever you want to eat, if you want to eat meat, the beasts in the vicinity are scared away by thunder, and the rest of the herbivores are thunder's food, so it doesn't want to share it with you."
"Okay, animals can eat meat, we don't even have broth, we can only drink porridge, I'm going on a hunger strike, what about you, Shante?"
Shante nodded in understanding.
Lan Xian'er was anxious: "It's like this at noon, and I'll go and figure out a way for you in the afternoon." After saying that, he didn't care about the two of them, and ran out angrily.
Hig ha, Shante also showed a rare smile.
Higg took two sips of the porridge, but he couldn't drink it anymore and slammed the bowl on the table.
Shante also put down the bowl and said to Higg, "There are fish in the river!" ”
Higg sneered, "You're not honest either." But we were injured and couldn't go into the water, and we didn't have a fishing rod. ”
Shante said with a smile: "Who said that you must go into the water to catch fish, the fish here are not afraid of people at all, and they are very close to people, I caught them in Moon Bay in the morning." ”
"Is there such a thing? So what are you waiting for. Higg picked up the pot and went into the kitchen to pour out the porridge, "Take this and fill the fish...... When did you think about fishing? ”
……
The fish in the river are really not afraid of people, they summon them with their hands casually, and they really come over, and they don't resist when they catch them. But the fish are not big, they are all the size of two or three fingers, and they caught seven or eight in a short time.
"Hey, the villagers have come around, haven't you ever seen a fish?" Higg said to Shante: "I must have never eaten it, haha, backward mountains are different, I will invite them to taste it later." ”
"No, you look at their expressions, they seem to be angry." Shante said.
"You won't let us catch it, will you? The fish in the river are all wild, can they manage it? ”
Seeing that the villagers were about to surround him, he saw Lan Xian'er running over and explaining something to the villagers, and then the villagers all walked towards Old Man Tang's house.
"Catch more, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to catch fish in the future." Sigge Gle commanded Shante.
It didn't take long to catch hundreds, most of the half pot of fish.
"After a while, stew a soup to try fresh, bake and eat it at night, and marinate it or dry the fish if you can't finish eating." Higg laughed.
At this time, Lan Xian'er also ran over, looking at their fish that was almost full of pots, her face was angry, but she didn't say anything.
Xige didn't notice her expression, turned his back to her to catch fish, and said heartlessly: "Sister Lan'er, help stew a fish soup later, you can also try it, let's barbecue again in the evening, hehe!" ”
"You stew yourselves, eat yourselves, don't me!" Lan Xian'er said angrily and ran away.
"What does that mean?"
Higg shook his head helplessly, ignoring it.
When he returned to the kitchen, he put the fish in the pot and began to stew, but when he saw Lan Xian'er coming back with a basket of fresh mushrooms, he didn't speak, and put it down angrily and left.
"Is eating some meat so hateful?" Higg washed the mushrooms and threw them into the fish soup.
Donald in the house.
"Grandpa Tang, does it really matter?" Lan Xian'er asked.
"A few fish are nothing, I'm worried about you?"
"I don't know, I'll be ready as soon as possible!"
"Eating some fish helps them recover, not only the fish, but everything in the valley that they can use." The old man said.
"Hmm!"
"Go ahead and adapt as soon as possible!"
Sigg and Shante had finally eaten a full meal of fish, drank a meal of fish soup, and were burping in the house. The blue fairy came in, without the anger she had before.
"Oh, you're late, there's only fish bones left, don't blame me for not inviting you, it's you who said you wouldn't eat it, and you won't come after the stew." Higg said with a grin.
Shante was embarrassed: "Higg said to grill fish at night, are you coming?" ”
"yes, don't be late!" Higg continued to grin.
"Come, why don't you come, take care of you for so long, today you bake, I'll eat!" Blue Fairy shouted loudly.
"Good!"
"How do you just grill fish? Yes, but you'll have to deal with it yourself. After speaking, he took out two mountain rabbits from his back, and they were still alive.
Old man Tang and a few villagers stood by the river, looking at the bonfire rising on the beach by the moon bay, and the figures of Higg, Shante and Blue Fairy, with a smile on their faces, but their eyes were full of antiquity.
Early in the morning, inside the chalet of Higg and Shante.
"I've finally eaten meat in the past few days, and I feel so strong today, haha!" Higg stretched, "I really want to find someone to fight." ”
"Me too, and I'm there when I fight." Shante said, "Do you really want to fight? ”
"Forget it, you strong guy, who wants to fight with you if you don't play with your life."
"Give you a hand!"
"I still can't beat it!"
"Then I'll close my eyes and fight!" Shante said.
"How do I know if you're secretly opening your eyes." Higg shook his head, "You close your eyes first." ”
Shante closed his eyes and showed Higg: "How's it going?" Without waiting for Higg to answer, he received a punch in the stomach, and although his strength was average, he still felt sour water gushing unguarded. When I opened my eyes, I saw that Higg was kicking him again, "Okay, you closed your eyes and hit, Laipi?" ”“
"Shameless!" After saying that, Shante closed his eyes and dodged this kick.
There was a mess in the house, Hig was fighting, Shante punched hard, Shante suffered a lot of punches and kicks, Higg didn't suffer much, but it made him extremely uncomfortable every time, and it was basically a draw.
"The two laipi are shameless, they will go to Grandpa Tang in a while, and they have something to explain! Now you guys, please continue. Outside, there was a sweet cry from the blue fairy.
"Wait a minute, Sister Lan'er!" Higshante stopped.
Higg said: "These days eating fish and mountain rabbits are greasy, is there any good thing to relieve the greasy, you here in addition to mushrooms, even vegetables and fruits are reluctant to prepare for guests, we are still patients!" ”
"You deserve it, who told you to eat so much, do you look like sick people now?"
"Well, this, it's our morning class, restorative workout, hehe." "Shante said there are so many bees, so many flowers, and the honey must be very sweet," Higg said. After saying that, he looked at Shante and blinked, and gestured.
Shante said: "Honey is very good for relieving greasy and healing wounds, and in our army we are generally only equipped with officers, and there are very few of them at my level. Higg quietly gave Shanter a thumbs up.
"Come less, if you want to eat honey, just say, I know where the best is, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to pick it." I can take you to dig wild plants, but I only know a few. Lan Xian'er said.
"What's so difficult about collecting honey, I have thick skin and I'm not afraid of stings." Higg said.
"It's useless to be bare-skinned, hehe!" Lan Xian'er smiled and left.
Higg touched his face and asked Shante, "Did I say I'm thick-skinned?" ”
Shante nodded affirmatively...... "Ah! Do? Shante took another punch.
"We're not done yet!" After speaking, he jumped to the side: "Now that the fight is over, let's get down to business!" Profound! Shante didn't care, and smashed a punch into Higg's stomach.
"You...... I didn't close my eyes......"
