After the Legend Chapter 43: Memories under the stars

Ming Na closed her eyes tightly, buried her head in her grandfather's arms, the wind whistled in her ears like a wolf howling, the sand flowed by her feet, grass roots, mud blocks, gravel and other objects hit her on her body and head The whole body tingled, and the rock she used as a windshield was shaky, as if the wind would be blown away in the next second. She grabbed Grandpa's arm tightly, and kept praying in her heart that this storm would pass quickly.

God seemed to hear her inner cry, and it didn't take long for the wind to fade away, and slowly, the world returned to peace.

Ming Na opened her eyes carefully, raised her head slightly, glanced at the surrounding situation, and whispered, "Grandpa, the wind seems to have stopped." Xiao Tianjian moved his shoulders and raised his head, his whole body It shook, and piles of sand fell.

Ming Na saw that her grandfather's body was covered in yellow puffs, like a sand man, she couldn't help laughing and trembling all over her body. As a result, a lot of sand was shaken off her body. It turned out that she was not strong. Where to go, it is also a little mud man. The grandfather and grandson looked at each other and laughed. The power of nature should not be underestimated, and after the catastrophe, they were in a particularly good mood.

Only Xiao Tianjian laughed so hard that he noticed the pain in his back and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"I thought it would be blown away by the wind." Ming Na was still muttering to herself, but suddenly she noticed the abnormality of her grandfather, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong? Is grandpa injured?" Turning to Xiao Tianjian, she saw There were bloodstains on the back of his dirty clothes.

"It was just scratched by the blown gravel, and the flesh was injured. It doesn't matter. While there is no wind now, let's hurry up to the mountain wall and talk about it later, lest there will be wind again later, we may not I can take it again." Xiao Tianjian didn't take the injury seriously, just urged his little granddaughter to leave.

Although Ming Na was worried about her grandfather's injury, she didn't hesitate to hear him say it didn't matter. She noticed only now that the horse was gone.

After the desert experienced a storm, the original rolling sand dunes had completely changed, and the foothills where the grandparents and grandsons were located are now full of sand and rocks. Without the horse, the big and the young can only walk on their feet. After walking down a kilometer, the shoes were cut by the gravel. Ming Na also fell.

Around the face of the mountain, the situation is very different. This mountain wall is actually a prominent part of this mountain range. It seems to have turned a corner. The area about half a kilometer wide at the foot of the mountain behind it has not been hit by wind and sand. It is no longer full of yellow sand, but a piece of There are dry mud blocks and stones of different sizes, and the hillside is also a little more green, with sparse weeds growing. Although there are no trees, in the twilight, sea buckthorn and cactus can be vaguely seen in the distance.

Xiao Tianjian found a flat piece of ground and started to take off his shirt. The wound on his back was clotted with blood and stuck to the clothes. Inhale.

Ming Na felt distressed when she saw it, and kept circling around her grandpa, but she didn't know how to help. After being reminded by her grandfather, she suddenly realized that she gathered water elements, used the water polo technique to clean the wound for him, and then quickly applied it to stop the bleeding agent. Seeing that the blood from the wound gradually stopped, she felt sullen in her heart. The hemostatic agent made by the old magician Sennet can completely scar her wounds overnight, and the scars are gone the next day, and the effect is fast and good. But what she did herself was barely able to stop the bleeding, and with a little force, the wound would open again, which was really useless. It seems she needs to work harder.

Xiao Tianjian saw that his little granddaughter seemed very sad, so he persuaded: "It's okay, it's really a flesh wound, it will be fine in two days, Xiao Mingna don't have to worry." Mingna nodded, didn't say anything, just helped grandpa Change into clean clothes.

Xiao Tianjian felt much more comfortable on his body, but unfortunately his hair and face were still dirty. Looking ahead, the desert is still boundless, but if they still walk along the foot of the mountain, they can reach Anke City by walking the same distance as when they came. It's a pity that the horse is gone, they can only walk on two legs, and the horse originally had five days of drinking water for their grandparents and grandchildren. He couldn't help but regret that he was too careless, he should have put all the food and water bags in the ring.

However, he didn't expect to encounter such a powerful desert storm. Although he had experienced one or two times before, the degree and duration were far worse than this time, so he didn't pay attention. Now, he even has some doubts, is it intentional for Frido to let them go this way? The purpose is to let them die in the storm.

Looks like I need to teach that kid a lesson.

Ming Na didn't know what Grandpa was thinking, but after learning about the predicament the two were in, she thought about it, and patted Grandpa on the back with great pride and said, "No problem! I have already walked over to Snow Mountain and Nuojia, are you still afraid of the desert? It will definitely go out smoothly!"

Xiao Tianjian grinned, moved his body slightly, and smiled: "Yes, after so many hardships and obstacles, are you still afraid of this small desert?"

The grandfather and grandson rested for a while, ate something and regained their strength. At dawn, they set foot on the southbound road again and continued to move forward.

Without horses and enough water, even if Minna can use water polo, their living conditions are still much worse than before. As soon as they encounter plants such as cacti on the way, they will cut down a few and store them as a precaution. To reduce evaporation, they move at night or on cloudy days whenever possible.

Sometimes, when they travel at night, in order to overcome the physical desire to sleep, they will focus on the stars in the night sky. In the uninhabited wilderness, the starry sky is also a good way for them to relieve their boredom.

Ming Na will tell her grandfather the stories about the stars and the moon she heard from her mother, Winnie and Marshall, and Xiao Tianjian will also pass on her knowledge of the constellations to her little granddaughter. Sometimes, some of the constellations he mentioned could not be found in the sky. When Minna asked, he would fall into silence and change the subject after a while. Ming Na didn't understand why Grandpa was silent and was often confused.

One night, Minna noticed that there were several stars in the sky that looked like a big spoon, so she took it as an interesting story and told her grandpa. Xiao Tianjian was silent for a long time before he whispered: "This is the Big Dipper. The end of the spoon handle points to another star, called the North Star, which points to the north."

Ming Na looked up at the star and tilted her head: "But the handle of the spoon is obviously pointing to the west?"

Xiao Tianjian smiled lowly: "Yeah, here, it points to the west...and the spoon is also twice as big as seen on Earth..."

"Earth?" Minna heard an unfamiliar term, "What is that place? Where?"

"In a far, far away place, it's a planet, just like the one we're on right now, but it's bigger than here, its gravity is heavier than here, there are many, many countries... there are One is called China, a country with a long history and an ancient civilization, where... there is my home..."

Ming Na's eyes widened: "Isn't Grandpa's house in the Great Yarrow Forest?" Or is it the Eastern Continent? But grandpa seemed to have said last time that his home was not there.

Xiao Tianjian chuckled: "Yaluo Great Forest is just the first place I stayed after I came to this world. My real home...is in a small city in northern China..." He slowed down, his whole body Trapped in memories: "I remember...it was a three-bedroom house, which was divided by my parents' unit, with a separate bathroom, kitchen, and a small balcony, which was pretty good at the time. Both my parents worked in state-owned enterprises. , Although my family is not rich, I have no worries about food and clothing since I was a child. When I was young, my parents sent me to my grandfather's house in the countryside and asked me to learn martial arts with my neighbor's uncle. I didn't return to the city until I graduated from primary school. ..."

Ming Na asked in confusion, "Grandpa, what is a state-owned enterprise? What is an elementary school?" Why is there so many words that she doesn't understand at all?

However, Xiao Tianjian did not answer her words, and still recalled his past: "When I was in junior high school, I was always playful, and my father would beat me at every turn, but in fact he often couldn't sleep all night because of me. My mother never scolds me, she always tries to make something delicious for me. I was ignorant at that time and would only make them sad. It was not until I entered high school that I started to study hard. When I was admitted to university, they I was so happy that I cried. But I didn't know how to understand them. In college, I only played games with my friends, read novels, and never thought about it. After graduation, I couldn't find a job, and I didn't want to be angry. I went home with a cheeky face, and my parents asked me to be a small clerk. I thought it was too hard, so I went to another province to break through. I finally became a bodyguard with the kung fu I learned when I was a child, with a salary of several thousand yuan per month. , the company provides board and lodging, and there are bonuses. I think that I have money to spend, and I can make a beautiful girlfriend, but I never thought about letting my parents enjoy themselves..."

"Grandpa, I don't understand..."

"I'm really unfilial, aren't I?" Xiao Tianjian has stopped walking forward, with tears in his eyes, "If I had known earlier that I would disappear from that world... If I could go back, I would definitely... definitely Will be filial to them..."

"Grandpa..." Ming Na looked at Xiao Tianjian's tears in surprise. In her mind, Grandpa hardly ever cried. Why? Is it because of grandpa's parents?

"You don't understand, do you?" Xiao Tianjian raised his sleeves to wipe his tears, turned his head to look at his little granddaughter, with a wry smile on his lips, "It's okay, not only you don't understand, no one in this world can understand. The people here are totally different from me, they don't understand what I think, and I don't understand what they think. Sometimes I'm really going crazy. I've tried to find myself a company, but I can't find one! I I don't understand why your grandma Mei Li refuses to come with me, I don't understand why Mirabelle thinks about the family in everything, I don't understand why Fonoya always puts on an air, I don't understand why Ziya is rich and powerful, why Still thinking about finding a rich and powerful man to rely on!"

He took a few breaths before continuing to mutter: "I don't understand the thoughts of those ministers and nobles, they can get huge benefits by listening to me, but they are willing to give up and kick me away; I don't understand There is oil and iron ore in Wistha, why people here refuse to mine, but go to gamble to rob it; I don't understand... Why is someone as shrewd as the underground duke so stupid to believe his nephew... He was a good guy. I'm half a confidant... I don't understand there are too many facts, but people in this world also can't understand me, I'm really... so lonely..."

Ming Na's nose was sour when she heard it. She really couldn't understand Grandpa's words at all, but from the tone of his voice, you could tell that he was sad right now. She couldn't help hugging his arm, tears in her eyes: "Grandpa, don't be sad, Minna will accompany you, as well as father, mother, grandma Mirabell, uncle, aunt, brother Bevin, Sister Beryl, Sister Manda, and Xiao La and his mother... We will all be with you, you will not be lonely, really..."

Xiao Tianjian touched his little granddaughter's head and smiled bitterly: "Silly boy, this is different, what grandpa wants... is someone who can truly understand me. If I can't go back to reunite with my family, at least... another one. Well..." He looked up at the starry sky, "I don't know how I got here. It seems that there was an explosion. As soon as I opened my eyes, I was in the Great Yarrow Forest. I have traveled all over this continent, hoping to find it back. The way to go, and befriend the magicians, I hope they can study the method of teleporting to other planets... Unfortunately, it is still delusional after all..."

He took a deep breath and sighed slowly: "It's ridiculous, I've been here for more than 30 years, but I still hope that this is just a dream. Maybe tomorrow I wake up and find that I just fainted in the hospital for a few days. God. I've enjoyed everything here, fame, wealth, status, beauty, power... But in my heart, I hope I'm still the little clerk who earns two or three thousand yuan a month and can go home with my dad at night Mom, go to the Internet cafe with friends on weekends, find a gentle and virtuous wife to have a baby in two years, and become a baby with **** and pee... When I was young, I only thought this kind of life was boring, but now, I would rather live like this I don't want to be lonely here anymore..."

He crouched down, burying his head and sobbing. Ming Na sniffed and squatted with him. Thinking of how adults could comfort her when she was crying, she reached out and patted Grandpa's back lightly, and whispered, "Don't cry, be good, don't cry..."

I don't know how long it took, when the starry sky gradually became brighter and the sun shone through the back of the mountain into the desert in the distance, Xiao Tianjian finally raised his head, there were no tears on his face: "Grandpa actually cried, didn't he? Shame? Minna don't make fun of me, okay?"

Ming Na solemnly nodded: "Okay." Then she added: "Grandpa, don't be sad. When you are in a bad mood, just say it. Although Ming Na doesn't understand, I will always accompany Grandpa."

Xiao Tianjian smiled, touched his granddaughter's head, and looked forward: "The sentimental time is over, but the road has to go on. Let's go."

Minna nodded in agreement, and continued on with her grandfather.

The food was almost finished, and there were only two scones left. Before, because Minna didn't like to eat it, she didn't put it on the horse's back, so she escaped. Xiao Tianjian knew that he had to find a way to find food.

Fortunately, they all walked along the edge of the desert. Here, he could find poisonous snakes, scorpions, sandworms, and occasionally a bird or two flying by. Cactus and grass roots are all things that can wrap their stomachs. Because the child's stomach is delicate, and Ming Na has just been poisoned, Xiao Tianjian is cruel and gives all the scones to the little granddaughter, at most let her eat sandworms, roasted birds or cacti, etc., and the poisonous snake grass roots are all returned. himself.

Although he had already dealt with the poisonous creatures before eating, Xiao Tianjian was slightly poisoned due to limited materials. Can rely on Minna to show him the way. In order to keep the child from going in the wrong direction, he had to teach her some simple desert survival skills.

Ming Na feels tired and hungry. She has not eaten enough for two days in a row. Grandpa walks slower and slower. She drags it very hard, but she knows that she cannot give up. How to do? He is a hero of the whole continent. Although he can cry, he can't starve to death in the desert because he can't eat enough. What's more, she didn't know how to go home without her grandfather. She wanted to go back to see her parents. Just like grandpa would miss his parents, she also missed her family very much.

With such a belief, Ming Na dragged her grandpa along for an unknown distance. Her throat was so dry that it was about to catch fire. The sun overhead was about to scorch her, but she couldn't stop, grandpa. I don't know how many days I can last like this now~IndoMTL.com~ So I have to leave if I can.

Although Xiao Tianjian's mind was a little fuzzy, he still knew it in his heart. Knowing that his little granddaughter was working hard, he set aside the water for her to drink. He counted the days in his heart, it should be almost there.

On the afternoon of the day when they were completely out of food, they finally met the first living person they saw since entering the desert. This is a small caravan from an oasis in the south of Weisha, planning to go to Encore City to purchase goods. Some of them also traveled with them, so they enthusiastically took in Xiao Tianjian and Ming Na's grandparents, brought food and water, and happily accepted a bag of gold coins as a reward.

Xiao Tianjian was lying on the carriage used to transport the goods, half asleep and half awake, enjoying a rare rest. Ming Na straightened her feet and sat next to her. The large blisters on her feet were burning with pain, but compared to the pain she felt when walking, it was undoubtedly much more comfortable now. She drank water in small sips and ate dry scones. Although the taste was not as good as that given by Friedman, at this moment, it was supremely delicious.

Someone climbed into the carriage they were in, and a hoarse voice came in: "Son, do you want me to see?"

Minna curiously reached out to lift the curtain, but saw a terrible face, pale skin, bare head, no eyebrows, red eyes, flat nose, two large nostrils and one small , a mouth that cannot be closed reveals jagged yellow teeth. When this face smiles, even if the sun is just right outside, it makes one's heart uncontrollably chill.

Minna gasped, and immediately stepped back in fright. Xiao Tianjian heard the sound, opened his eyes, and when he saw that face, his eyes shot with a gleam: "Tom Riddle! Why are you here?!"

(Does it feel like April Fool's Day?)
