Chapter 406: Departure
"Please, it's not delicious, but it's sure to fill your stomach!" Eve brought the last dish of her hearty breakfast to the table and set it in front of her eyes.
"It's really hearty, several times more than what we usually eat, and the jerky that we usually don't want to take out is actually there. Ling muttered sourly beside him, but he didn't forget to eat quickly.
Tianxian was a little embarrassed, the statement of eating breakfast was just an excuse at the time, but Eve seemed to take it seriously, and quickly prepared a large table of hearty breakfast, Tianxian is very clear, in the far north, food is very scarce, even more scarce than on the highlands, such a large table of hearty breakfast, may be the food of the mother and daughter for several days.
"How ...... you broke the bank"
"It's Sister Eve!" Eve sat across from Tian Xian, smiling.
Looking at Eve, who was smiling and as bright as a flower, she couldn't help but sweat for a while, even if she was indeed young and beautiful, but ...... After all, it was Xue Heling's mother who came, so such a title is unavoidable......
"Sister Eve!" Eve emphasized, then gently pressed Ling's shoulder, "If you don't call it like that, I won't marry my daughter to you." ”
Boss Ling sighed helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense when you eat breakfast...... It's rare to have so much to eat. ”
"How come?" Eve's happy eyes narrowed into a slit, and she smiled with great joy: "You can be a sister, and your daughter can still get married!
Ling wanted to open Eve's hand, but Eve hugged her happily, "Since Bai left, there has never been such a happy thing, human beings are really a good race, and they bring good luck as soon as they come here." ”
For his mother, Ling had no choice. handed Tianxian a helpless look, "If you want to eat breakfast quietly, call your sister ......."
Don't give up so quickly, okay, do I really want to call my sister can't, if the snow wakes up, what am I going to do......
Tian Xian was counting on Ling's rescue. But Ling seemed to be more interested in breakfast......
With an embarrassed laugh, Tian Xian moved his lips, "That...... Eve, sister. ”
Thousands of flowers bloomed in an instant, and Eve's face was full of happy smiles, which literally brightened the whole room. Tian Xian couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful smile.
"Good ......" When Tian Xian came back to his senses, Eve had already come to Tian Xian's side with a smile and stroked Tian Xian's head like a kitten.
This woman...... It's really helpless, looking at Ling who is bored eating. Tianxian seemed to understand her mood a little.
Next, Eve showed the enthusiasm to overwhelm Tianxian, and piles of food were pushed in front of Tianxian, and Eve was still bringing new food to the table, and occasionally came to feed Tianxian a few bites, and by the way, he touched Tianxian's head with a happy face.
Ling watched from the sidelines, only caring about eating, and had no intention of rescuing Tianxian at all.
Tian Xian had to find something to talk about, which at least allowed Eve to have something else to do.
"What happened this morning?" asked Tian Xian, who had been puzzled by the question.
"Oh. You said Granny Kong!" Eve seemed to remember something, "you have to respect her honestly." She's not only the patriarch, but she's also your grandmother, isn't she, Ling?"
In response to Eve's non-stop bombardment, Ling nodded in resignation, "Yes." Be...... You can say whatever you want, but can you let me talk about it after breakfast first? ”
"Breakfast is the time for family conversation, isn't that the case for humans?" Eve was a little puzzled, and her gaze fell on Tian Xian.
"But you're not human, you're a member of the Sky Eye clan. Ling's arguing voice was weak and pitiful.
"But I'm a human wife!" said Eve, dissatisfied. "You are also half human, and you are also the wife of a human, how can you say such a thing?"
Ling didn't seem to have any intention of struggling at all, and in the face of Eve's glare, he concentrated on his own food.
Pushing a large portion of food in front of Tianxian's eyes, Eve said with a smile: "There is nothing in the morning, don't worry about it, just rest here in peace, and you will definitely find a way to rescue the snow soon." ”
Looking at Eve, who was smiling calmly and easily in front of her, Tianxian couldn't compare her with the woman who was teary-eyed and choked up yesterday to take care of the snow by herself.
"However, Grandma Kong seems to want to take you, why would she do this?"
"Hmm~~ You actually asked this, eat these sisters and sue you!" Eve pushed a lot of food in front of Tianxian again.
Tian Xian secretly smiled bitterly, so he had to add more breakfast to himself, "Then let's talk while eating, breakfast is indeed a time for family conversation." ”
"Okay!" said Eve, happily.
"Here's the thing. After adding some soup to Tianxian, Eve finally began to explain what happened in the morning, "Grandma Kong is here to pick me up and leave here, because we had an agreement at the beginning, I, Xue, and Ling, the three of us can't stay in the clan at the same time, at least ...... Someone has to leave. ”
"At least one person has to leave?" Tian Xianyan frowned, "Why?"
"Because this is the meaning of the gods, it is fate!"
"Gods, but those guys have been gone for more than a thousand years. ”
"Yes, but they just disappeared before our eyes, not completely. ”
Tianxian's heart was shocked, "You...... Why do you say that?"
"Because they still rule the spirit of this world, their traces in this world have not disappeared, in fact they have never disappeared, we, the highlanders, the human beings of the human continent, the alien races of the Eastern Kingdom, the more powerful all the creatures, the more they will feel the invincibility of those gods, awe and obedience are the only choice, although those gods have disappeared in front of us, but for more than a thousand years, the spirit of all races is still firmly ruled by them, including us, of course. ”
Tian Xian couldn't help but look Eve up and down again, this woman who spoke and acted quite childishly, seemed to be mentally unstable, but seemed to have sharp eyes that others did not have, and these eyes allowed her to see through the whole world.
"It's true that those guys never really left. But does that have anything to do with you?"
"Yes!" Eve seemed to be waiting for Tian Xian to ask, "You know, this is the oracle announced by Grandma in the air, this is the meaning of the gods." ”
"Oracle!?" Tian Xian is particularly sensitive to this word, the so-called oracle of the Elf King of the Eastern Kingdom once almost killed Tian Xian, and now he hears this word again. Tian Xian felt disdainful in his heart, "Can that kind of thing for no reason really count?"
Eve looked surprised, and then leaned over and poked a finger on Tianxian's forehead, "This is not okay! As half of the Tianyan clan, how can you not believe in the oracle, our Tianyan clan has been the servants of the gods since ancient times, and you will be rejected by other clansmen like this!"
For a moment, Tianxian seemed to have an understanding. This seems to be the problem, if you don't obey the oracle, then you will be ostracized by the people, and if you obey the oracle, then you will ...... It will be recognized by the clansmen!
Being hostile to humans and living in this barren far north, being ostracized by the people is tantamount to being sentenced to death......
"Is that why Xue left here in the first place?"
"Hmm!" Eve nodded with a smile. "I was supposed to leave, but I couldn't leave my two children behind. In the end, Bai and I had to raise one each. Saying that, Eve showed a very regretful look, "It's a lifelong regret that I didn't see the scenery of the human continent." ”
"So...... Where are you going now?"
"Hanguta. ”
It's the first time I've heard the name, "What kind of place is that?"
"It's the place we first thought about, and it's a good place for me to live in. "Then you don't have to leave the Far North." You can also get some help from within the clan. ”
"I'm imprisoned, am I right?"
Eve smiled slightly, "Don't be childish, just go to live in one place for a while, and you can see everyone from time to time." It's completely different from being in captivity. ”
Tian Xian probably understood, the answer that Grandma Kong wanted in the morning was Ling or Eve, who of the two of them would accept this punishment.
"Is there no other way?"
"Yes!" replied Eve.
"What is it?"
"Hmm~~" Eve frowned in distress, "I can't think of it yet." ”
Tianxian instantly had the urge to hit someone.
"It's fine, but I don't think Grandma Sora will make things completely stiff. Tian Xian ate her breakfast helplessly, "Today she chose to retreat, I think there must be room left, before she comes next time, let's think of a way." ”
"In that case...... "Eve blinked, "and you'll have to figure out a plan before noon." ”
"Noon, why?"
"Because at noon, Grandma Kong will definitely bring the whole clan over, and we will be expelled if we do not keep our original oath. ”
Tian Xian was stunned, "Will it be?"
"Of course, because that's the whole clan's concern!"
Tianxian couldn't help but stand up, "Since that's the case, how can you still eat leisurely here!
Ling couldn't help but say: "Indeed, Grandma Kong will soon bring all the clansmen to force us to leave, no matter how stupid you usually are, you should understand the strict nature of this matter, since you want Xue to stay, then what are your plans?" Ling looked at Eve with a stern gaze.
With her hands gently clasped together in front of her chest, Eve smiled, "Of course I already had a way!"
"Is there a way?" Ling was a little skeptical.
"Hmm!" Eve nodded vigorously, but instead of explaining what the method was, she suddenly asked Tian Xian, "Speaking of which, why did you stop them from taking me away at the expense of offending Grandma Kong?"
Tianxian was stunned for a moment when asked, "This...... Do you need any reason for this? They obviously have bad intentions, how can I let them take you away! I don't want Xue to wake up and ask me where my mother is!"
Eve smiled happily, "What a gentle and considerate child, just like Shiro at the beginning, it's great that Xue can meet you, I've been worried that Shiro won't take care of children, but now this worry is no longer necessary, you must have taken good care of Xue." ”
"If it had been well cared for, it wouldn't be what it is now. "Tianxian deeply blames himself.
"Don't blame yourself. Eve walked over, gently stroked Tianxian's head, and said in a very soft, soft, almost lullaby-like voice. "Everyone makes mistakes, just correct them and don't make the same mistakes again. ”
I don't know if it's an illusion, Tianxian feels that Eve's words are magical, and he has some irresistible agreement.
In addition, please take care of snow so considerately all the time. And Ling, okay?"
Tianxian was taken aback, stared at Eve with round eyes, and suddenly noticed her abnormality, but what shocked Tianxian was that he quickly replied: "Okay, I will." ”
This is not what you want to say at all, and it is not your will to speak at all!
The anti-heart formula is suddenly activated, and vitality emerges from the body. Tian Xian, who felt full of strength, found that there was nothing wrong with him, but ...... But the brain seems to be drowsy, and even if it works against the heart, it won't help.
Seeing a faint layer of golden brilliance suddenly floating on Tianxian's skin, Eve covered her mouth and smiled, "Little fool, I only realized at this time that my sister finally gave you a piece of advice: don't trust women at any time, especially a beautiful woman like my sister." Remember?"
"You ......" Tian Xian suddenly felt that his consciousness began to blur, which shocked Tian Xian. Before I knew it, I was plotting against it! Was it food? Or something else...... There is no way to know. ”
"Sleep well, and you'll be fine when you wake up. Eve gently held Tianxian in her arms and stroked Tianxian's head, "At the beginning, I also fantasized about having a son. It's a pity that I don't have a chance anymore. ”
Tianxian wanted to catch Eve, but his eyelids were heavy, and his body was obviously fine, but his spirit was completely dissipated...... In his last consciousness, Tian Xian glanced at Ling, who was sitting opposite. She was found to have passed out on the table.
Sure enough, it was the food......
When Tian Xian woke up from a deep sleep, Gollum was standing at the dinner table, pecking at his head.
"Master, you're finally awake!" Tianxian opened his eyes, and Gollum was overjoyed.
Tianxian had a splitting headache, as if someone had cut his brain with an axe, "Eve, where is Eve?"
"The woman, she's gone!" replied Gollum quickly, "with a package, it looks like she's out on a long journey." ”
"What?" A wave of blood surged into his heart, and he stood up violently, but it was dark in front of him, and he suddenly fell.
"Hell...... What did that woman do...... "Tianxian felt that the world was spinning, and there seemed to be only a mess in his mind.
"Master, you seem to be a little confused, your spirit has been temporarily dissipated, and the woman seems to have done something to the master. ”
"You don't say it...... I know that too!" Tian Xian grabbed the chair and struggled to get up, looking at the other side, but found that his eyes were blurry, "Where is Ling?"
"She's on the other side, master, do you want me to wake her up? she seems to be in a worse condition than her master, and even if she does, she can't communicate with you now. ”
Shaking his head, Tian Xian felt that his sanity was gradually regaining his clarity, "Eve...... How long has she been gone. ”
"Hmm...... About a day or so, when I came back, I happened to see her leave, and she was very happy to ask me to bring a message to the master, saying that she liked the master's son-in-law very much. ”
"Does she know who you are?"
Gollum also seemed a little strange, "Probably, I didn't speak, but she seems to know that I'm not a spirit kite." ”
"Boom!"
Tian Xian slammed his fist on the table, "Completely calculated by this woman! She looks harmless to humans and animals! In fact, she is very shrewd!"
Touching the other side of the table, it took a lot of effort for Tianxian to wake Ling Huang up, but as Gollum said, her situation was even worse, and it took Tianxian another half a day to wake her up.
"Sure enough, she's still gone......," Ling leaned back in her chair, rubbing her aching head, "It's a shame that she can even do it with her own daughter." ”
"What the hell is going on? Why the hell did we pass out? Where did Eve go?"
Ling sighed, "Although she has become strange, she didn't expect her strength to not weaken, it's really careless......" Glancing at Tianxian, Ling mocked, "Stupid guy, because she is Xue's biological mother and is very kind to you, you forget the fact that she was the biggest rebel of the Tianyan clan, and you are not at all defenseless!"
Tianxian had to admit that he was negligent, and Eve gave people a feeling of ...... It's really too affectionate and kind, and it's not threatening, and she's the mother of snow, who would have thought that she would suddenly do it in secret!
"I don't know exactly what she used, but I've heard from my people that she has a very high talent for spirit, and we're all too careless, and you should know where she's gone. ”
"Hanguta?" Tianxian frowned.
"Yes, the legend says that the imprisonment of the erring people is a place for us to think about. ”
"Legend?" Tian Xian suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"It's legend, because now almost no one knows about that place, except for Grandma Sora. ”
"What did you say?" Tian Xian's eyes slowly contracted, "Where no one knows, why is it that only Grandma Kong knows?"
"It was part of the patriarchal succession ceremony, so the patriarch knew where the Hangu Pagoda was, and legend has it that it was near the original place where our ancestors lived, but now it is deserted, and no one knows how to get there. ”
After listening with a solemn look in his eyes, he turned around and left.
"Where are you going?"
"Go see Grandma Sora!"
"It's useless, you'd better not go!"
Tian Xian glanced back at Ling, "Indeed...... I'm so reckless, you should come with me!" (To be continued......)
