After the Legend Chapter 38: Overnight
Although Minna is happy to have escaped from Normonka, the pursuers haven't gotten rid of it yet, and they can't breathe a sigh of relief. All she could do was to take care of herself and not let herself be a drag on her grandfather, while Xiao Tianjian concentrated on his horse and ran wildly, escaping from the chasing soldiers behind.
The two men who were just discovered at the city gate also escaped on horseback and went in the other direction. Since they split some of the chasing troops, Ming Na and Xiao Tianjian had an easy journey.
After passing a fork in the road, she soon saw another hill in front of her. When she was about to turn, Mingna suddenly felt a tightness at the collar, followed by the sound of a whip falling on the horse's hip, and a flower in front of her. She had been carried by her grandfather and jumped into the grass beside the road, rolled twice, and hid behind the rock, while the horse that was snatched, suffered pain from the whip, and went straight up the mountain.
Ming Na was about to ask her grandfather why he lost his horse, when Xiao Tianjian covered her mouth and pressed him behind the stone to not allow her to make a sound. She held back her suspicions and heard the chasing soldiers on the road galloping past and galloping to the horse, and then she suddenly realized. It turned out that Grandpa was trying to deceive those soldiers, how clever!
However, without the horses, they can only walk, isn't that too slow?
Xiao Tianjian has his own opinion. The quality of riding and horses in the chasing team is different, and they are still being chased, so the queue is not neat, and the last rider is at least four or five feet away from his companions. . Xiao Tianjian took advantage of the fact that all the horses in front were turning a corner on the mountain road, he quietly swept over, twisted the knight's neck, and threw the body on the side of the road. run back.
Nogar's horses were covered with bridles, so no one was disturbed. Soldiers only focus on the "pursuing target" in front of them. How could they expect that some of their companions have died?
Ming Na only wondered why the owner of the horse suddenly softened, and then grandfather took the horse, but she became suspicious when she thought of the tactics that grandfather used to deal with her in the past. Returning to the fork in the road, Xiao Tianjian galloped onto another fork. Ming Na's mouth opened wide when she saw it, so... Is there such a way to escape?
However, the military horses are still very conspicuous, and the previous chasing soldiers will sooner or later find out that they have been tricked, so Xiao Tianjian didn't leave for a long time, so he used the old method to let the military horses continue to run forward, and stole the other and tied it to the side of the road. A horse at the door of the store took another fork in the road.
Ming Na felt that it was not good to do this, but before she could say anything, she was covered by a large cloak drawn by her grandfather, and her eyes were completely dark. When she saw the light again, she was already in a small wood . She was about to ask Xiao Tianjian where this was, when he raised a signal to tell her to keep silent, then caged the horse and looked out of the forest. Ming Na followed his line of sight and found that it was not far from the small shop where the horse was changed. It didn't take long for Nuojia's pursuers to find the intersection in front of the store. A soldier dismounted to check the traces on the ground, and after saying something, they all went to the direction of the horse's running.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the small shop. First, he looked curiously at the soldiers who were leaving Juechen, and then realized that his horse was missing, so he shouted angrily and chased after him.
Xiao Tianjian was happy when he saw it, he hurriedly picked up his granddaughter and got on the horse, put on the big cloak, and covered Ming Na at the hem.
Nuojia's soldiers are very good at riding, and there are many people in the surrounding area of Nomonka. Those people are willing to provide clues for their own army. Therefore, although Xiao Tianjian and Ming Na and his party have repeatedly escaped the line of sight of the chasing soldiers, the other party is still followed closely. As a last resort, they changed their horses four times, and each time they used no glorious means, and finally entered a large mountain after nightfall, temporarily getting rid of the pursuers.
At night they found a cave for the night. In order not to attract attention, they could only build a small fire, eat dry food and drink cold water. Ming Na was used to it and didn't care too much, but it was a pity in her heart that her magic was biased towards the water element, so she hadn't learned how to fire a fireball, but she was able to get a lot of water to wash her hands and face.
Looking at her grandfather, she hesitated. Xiao Tianjian noticed it and asked, "What do you want to say? Just say it."
Ming Na boldly said, "Grandpa, does it really matter if we take someone else's horse? The people here don't seem to be rich..."
Xiao Tianjian was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Our little Mingna is really kind. We obviously hate this country, but we still worry about their people."
"No, no." Ming Na hurriedly waved her hand, "I didn't mean that, just..." She didn't know what to say, "My parents taught me that if I want other people's things, I must first get their permission. We took other people's horses like this, aren't we the same as the two aunties in the branch? They are..." She hesitated, "stealing" seems to be a bad word, and shouldn't be used for hero grandpa, right? ?
"Of course it's different, they..." Xiao Tianjian tilted his head, feeling that there was really no difference, but he didn't want to lose face in front of his granddaughter, so he said vaguely, "They took away the branch because of greed. However, we borrowed other people's horses because we had to. The so-called urgent matters are not the same in essence. Moreover, after those Nuojia people caught up with the horses, they would return the horses when they found out that we were not there. "
Minna blinked: "Really?"
"Of course." He lied cheekily: "But Ming Na is right. I was really negligent. Next time I borrow someone else's horse, I'll throw a bag of gold coins as rent."
"What a waste!"
Xiao Tianjian was startled: "Ah?"
Ming Na's face is full of seriousness: "Grandpa is too wasteful. One Norga horse only needs three gold coins, and grandpa has at least ten gold coins in a bag of gold coins. It's too bad!" She stretched out her fingers and counted. "Actually, I wanted to say it for a long time. Grandpa is a waste of money. After entering the Nomon card, it is always a bag of gold coins. When we went to the hotel for dinner that day, we didn't eat anything in a hurry. Two gold coins, and you threw him two bags! Even if there is a lot of money in the ring, it will be spent very quickly. Mom said, don't spend money lavishly."
Xiao Tianjian was speechless after being scolded by his granddaughter, and asked for a long time, "How do you know how much Nuojia's horse is worth?"
"When Mom and Dad used to buy horses, they used to argue for a long time about which one to buy. Mom said it was enough to buy a horse from Metton, two gold coins apiece, but Dad said that Noga's horse was stronger. ." After Ming Na finished her answer, she looked at her grandfather and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, grandpa, shouldn't I say that?" She was a little uneasy. Although she knew that her grandfather was rich, she had watched her mother live frugally since she was a child. She always felt that it was not good to spend so much money.
"How could it be?" Xiao Tianjian smiled, "Just say whatever you want to say, what's there to worry about with grandpa? You have your own ideas, which is good. However, there is one thing you are wrong, Noga's horses are actually only sold for one or two gold coins in their own country. The price you said is the price after they have been shipped to Meton? It's much more expensive, because Noga's horses cannot be freely sold abroad. Yes, only the black market can, so the prices are especially high.”
"Oh..." Ming Na nodded, unaware that the topic had deviated from the original point, because she had just mentioned her parents, and she suddenly missed them, "Grandpa, where are we going now? Can we go home? ?"
Xiao Tianjian sighed: "Now the clues are broken, and we can only go back. However, these chasing troops are very troublesome. If we go directly back to Qidun now, we will have to travel in Nuojia for many days, which is too dangerous. Why don't you go to the southern border first and take the way of Fan A to go back." Thinking about it again, he felt that this was a way out of nowhere. Although he didn't want to enter the country where the Light God Cult was founded, he was chased behind like a dog. , it's not really a pleasant thing.
Minna asked, "How many days will we have to travel?" She didn't know the distribution of countries on the mainland very well, but she only knew that the homeland was in the east, and her grandmother once studied in Shaonan in the south. She went to the Magic Academy, and Nuojia was in the north of Edonian, but what her grandfather said didn't have much connection with what she knew.
After Xiao Tianjian asked his granddaughter about geography, he decided to give her a continental geography class.
He found some stones and clods, first put a small stone on the ground, then placed a clod on the right and below it, saying: "This small stone is Brahma, and all its citizens are It's a cultist, and the one on the right is East, and the one below is Shaonan, remember?"
Ming Na nodded, and then Xiao Tianjian put another clod on top of the small stone: "This is where we are now Nuojia, Normonca is located in the middle of the country, so we are now in a place south of the center of Nuojia. He pointed to the ground between the stone and the clod on the right: "The border between the two countries is Mount Ture, and at the foot of the southern mountain are Edonia and Meton. If we want to go back to Edonia, we have to walk halfway across Norga. So you have to walk for days and you will be chased all the time."
Minna stretched out her finger to compare the distances of those "locations" and nodded again.
Xiao Tianjian continued: "But if we go south and reach the border of Brahma, it will be different. Brahma is surrounded by mountains, we go to Mengli, enter Brahma from there, and keep going east. , you can reach Xike, and then go north. It only takes three days to walk to Edun, and once you leave Nuojia, the road is very safe." After a pause, he suddenly remembered that he heard the conversation between the tracking target and his accomplices that day. , once mentioned the place name "Monri", it seems that something big will happen. Now that the clues at Nomonka have been broken, can you find out anything by going to Murray?
He turned his head and looked at his granddaughter, thinking that the Xiao family business also has a shop in Mengli. If he finds a clue, he can ask the people in the shop to take care of his granddaughter for him, or simply ask them to take the granddaughter back.
Ming Na looked at the stones and clods on the ground, and had a certain understanding of the geographical distribution of several countries, she asked again: "Then... where is the Elf Forest? Where is Weisha? Grandpa didn't defeat him before. Have you ever been to it?"
Xiao Tianjian smiled and placed a stone on the top right of the clod symbolizing Nuojia: "The Elf Forest is here." Then he placed a clod on the left side of the small stone symbolizing Fan A: "And here is Weisha, This country is almost all desert, if you want to go there in the future, you must remember to bring enough food and water, otherwise it will be very difficult.”
Ming Na remembered it and asked again: "Is there another place? The mainland is so big, there must be another place?"
"It's almost all here." Xiao Tianjian smiled, "There is also the Dragon Island in the southeast and several island countries in the ocean to the east, there is nothing to say. There are many mountains to the west of Weisha, and there are many mountains on the other side of the mountain. Devil's Domain, but you probably won't go there in your whole life, so you only need to know this." He pointed at the pile of dirt and stones: "This is the continent we are in, as for whether there is anything else on this planet. It is said that there is also an Eastern Continent, but no one knows if it really exists."
Ming Na thought about it for a while, and asked inexplicably, "Didn't you say that grandpa is the descendant of immigrants from the Eastern Continent? That's where our ancestors came from?"
"Of course not." Xiao Tianjian categorically rejected it, but he didn't know how to explain his origin. Seeing his granddaughter looking at him curiously, he had to change the subject: "This matter is complicated, grandpa will take it slowly in the future. Let me tell you. It's getting late, hurry up and go to bed, we'll be on our way tomorrow." He reached out and touched the scar on his granddaughter's face that had not yet subsided, took out the medicine and applied it, then patted her on the head and urged her sleep.
Ming Na also felt a little sleepy. She yawned and lay on the quilt made by her grandfather. She was only in a daze. She recalled those **** scenes and frowned unconsciously. , turned his body over and slept very restlessly.
Xiao Tianjian noticed something and thought that the child was just tired and couldn't sleep well, but at dawn, Ming Na was awakened by a nightmare, he touched the cold sweat on her forehead, and began to feel that something was wrong: "Ming Na, what did you do just now? What dream?"
Ming Na blushed slightly, and it took a long time for her to say it, and then she said, "I'm not really afraid, I just kept thinking about... thinking about..." Her face became more and more red, she felt herself It's really embarrassing to be scared to have nightmares.
Xiao Tianjian sighed and began to reflect on his negligence. This child, Ming Na, was different from his previous adventure companions. He had never seen blood or death, and suddenly she was shown such a **** scene. How can you not be afraid? He hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, it's normal to be afraid. Grandpa was also afraid when he was a child."
Ming Na tilted her head to look at him: "Is Grandpa also afraid?"
"Of course I do, I'm human too. It's just that when I'm strong, I'm no longer afraid." He said with a smile, "So, if you can't make yourself strong, at least find a strong person. And care and love your husband, so that nothing will threaten you."
Minna stared at him, not understanding what he meant.
It seems that this is too early to say, Xiao Tianjian laughed at himself and touched his granddaughter's head: "Anyway, if you are afraid, it is normal, don't be embarrassed, just tell grandpa. With grandfather here, You have nothing to fear."
Ming Na understood this sentence, nodded vigorously with a smile, and then fell asleep under his comfort. It wasn't long before Xiao Tianjian heard the neighing of horses outside, suspecting that the pursuers had arrived, woke up his granddaughter, and went out to investigate. Ming Na consciously took care of herself, and tidied up the food and other things that were laid out. As soon as Xiao Tianjian came back ~IndoMTL.com~, he immediately put the things into the ring, picked up his granddaughter and pulled the horse over, and quietly went in the other direction. .
At this time, it had been two days since King Noga died. The Nuojia Palace has ordered various places to set up checkpoints to prevent people with bad intentions from sneaking into the country to make trouble, and also to prevent spies lurking in the country from having the opportunity to escape. This method is quite effective, and it is said that several foreign spies have been captured.
Xiao Tianjian and Ming Na were trapped in a nearby village shortly after they left the cave. The Nuojia army set up three series of checkpoints here, only allowing locals to pass through, and strictly interrogating foreigners, and even arresting people if they felt wrong. The locals are very alert, and anyone who faces them will be regarded as suspicious.
Even Xiao Tianjian feels a headache in this situation. He has almost run out of dry food, and this is the only passage to Mengli. There are mountains on both sides of the checkpoint. The only food in the local area that sells bread and other delicatessen is next to the garrison. Is he going to take a risk?
After thinking about it, he decided to go back to the old way - stealing, going to ordinary people's homes to steal, just leave a gold coin or two for them. He listened to his granddaughter and didn't spend too much money.
At this time, Ming Na said, "Grandpa, let me buy it."
"You?" Xiao Tianjian was a little stunned.
"Yes. I'm a child, they won't doubt me. Just buy food, right?" Ming Na's face raised a big smile, "I can do it, let me go?"
Xiao Tianjian hesitated.
