Never Marry a Man With Two Tintins
Chapter 25
Unknowingly, he has been in this slum for more than a year. Cheng Nuo is very used to the life here, but he is still not used to scavenging in the garbage dump, and he still hates the food and clothes he picked up.
This land is too barren. There are two or three months of dry season in a year when no prey can be hunted, no wild vegetables can be dug in the fields, and the water in the river is dry and only enough for drinking.As a result, he had to go out to purchase during those days, and spent more than half of the energy coins that he had saved so easily.
Liu Guang has grown a little taller over the past year, but he still looks lower and thinner than his peers, and his big eyes are more and more bright and energetic.His appetite was getting bigger and bigger. He could eat two full bowls of rice in one meal. Every time Cheng Nuo saw his thin neck, he wished he could eat more.Cheng Nuo himself had also grown a lot taller, so the gap between him and Liu Guang stood even bigger, so let's not mention the anger in Liu Guang's heart.
Whenever he had free time, Liu Guang would go to the mountains to train without telling Cheng Nuo. He didn't know how to practice, he just tried his best to make his speed faster and his strength stronger.Once Cheng Nuo saw Liu Guang walking around with a huge boulder on his back, his thin back bent under the pressure, and his heart ached.
Of course, Liu Guang saw the knife Bai Rui gave him later, and he looked angry like he was looking at a traitor.Cheng Nuo hurriedly coaxed it for a long time. In fact, he really likes this knife. It is unique and sharp, and it doesn't stain blood.It's just that this knife is too heavy for him to use, it should be very suitable for Liu Guang-but according to the current situation, Liu Guang can't wait to throw it to the bottom of the river.
Liu Guang finally figured it out, anyway, he will pawn it when he goes out in the future, and Bai Rui will be pissed off.However, he still said to Cheng Nuo sullenly: "You are not allowed to accept gifts from others in the future! Especially those named Bai!... If you like knives, I will buy you a better one in the future."
Cheng Nuo pinched his nose with a smile: "Okay, next time I see Bai Rui, can you return the knife to him?"
Except for the occasional worries about life, other things went smoothly, and the people in Lanyue Village never came to make trouble again. I don't know if it was because they were afraid that the blood-devouring curse would endanger the lives of their second-in-charge or for other reasons.
Once they went to a small town and saw a message posted in the center of the town about Qinghuamen recruiting civilian disciples.
Qing Hua Sect is a big gang directly under Liaoji City Lord, and it can also be said to be one of the important military forces of Liaoji City, so the threshold for recruitment is very high.But at the same time, as long as you go in, your identity will be very different, and it can be regarded as a good opportunity for civilians to change their destiny.After all, the strong are respected in this world, there are still nobles and slaves, and many family gangs do not accept ordinary civilians at all.
Cheng Nuo's blood was boiling with enthusiasm. This is indeed a good opportunity.
He also secretly discovered the wood-type ability he possessed, which allows him to harden his skin when he is attacked, but it only lasts for about five seconds, and it doesn't work from time to time.Presumably it was inspired by that fall off the cliff, so he was lucky not to be killed by the fall.There may be more dangers in the future, and he hopes that he can become a protector.
Liu Guang's expression was very contradictory. He knew that entering these sects could make him stronger, but he also hated these so-called noble city lords from the bottom of his heart.However, he quickly remembered what Bai Rui had said to him with contempt before he left, and immediately gritted his teeth and raised his head and said to Cheng Nuo, "I want to sign up."
Cheng Nuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and stroked Liu Guang's hair: "Okay, let's go together."
Liu Guang suddenly became anxious. Indeed, these sects only look at qualifications and not gender when recruiting disciples, and even females will have more advantages and receive preferential treatment.But, how can he rest assured that his future wife will also go!
A few years ago, young people from their slums also participated in the competition, not to mention most of the casualties, basically none of them were selected, and the content of the competition was also extremely cruel.He would rather Cheng Nuo stay at home, and let Caotou and the others help take care of him.
But because of the crowds, Liu Guang didn't say anything, just jumped away when he got home, his face was flushed and said: "No, you can't go! Female...it's too dangerous there! I will come back very soon !" He knew that Cheng Nuo hated hearing the word "female", so he stopped talking.
Cheng Nuo was dizzy from his quarrel, and said seriously, "If you don't let me go, I'll go later by myself. Don't worry, I'll come back if I really can't be selected."
His tone was very firm, Liu Guang's small chest heaved and fell, and finally he had to agree.Naturally, he was reluctant to part with Cheng Nuo, and he was worried about leaving him alone at home. What if he was abducted by others?
Liu Guang looked at Cheng Nuo with a conflicted face and said, "Well, I will protect you anyway."
As he spoke, a blush suddenly appeared on his face, and his long eyelashes drooped, looking very cute.
Cheng Nuo was moved, and couldn't help pulling Liu Guang over, pinching his face affectionately, and said with a smile, "Well, I know Xiao Guang is very powerful."
Liu Guang's face was only slightly red at first, but now his face was almost blood red, and he broke away from Cheng Nuo's embrace impatiently and stared at him, "Nahhhh!"
Now that the decision has been made, the preparations will begin. Although their slums belong to the Liaoji City, the distance is very far. If they go on foot, it will take at least a month.Cheng Nuo calculated the time and found that the recruitment time of Qinghua Sect was more than two months later, that is to say, there was still plenty of time.
Cheng Nuo sorted out the savings at home, and there were a total of about [-] primary energy coins.Firmly believing that all eggs should not be put in the same cage, he scattered the money, some sealed inside his clothes, some hidden in the bag, both he and Liu Guang carried some.In fact, such a small amount of money is nothing. The prices in those big cities are probably much more expensive than those in small towns.
Apart from making dry food and carrying it with him, the family's food was distributed to the half-grown children. Of course, he also put the dagger that Bai Rui gave him in his baggage.
When parting, Caotou looked at Liu Guang with teary eyes and said, "Brother Guang, Brother Cheng Nuo, I will go out to find you in two years." Several other half-grown children also shouted.
Liu Guang frowned and cursed: "Why are you crying? Are you a male?"
Cheng Nuo was still a little sad at first, but he couldn't help laughing immediately. Every time he saw his little man aggressively scolding a child who was half a head taller than him, he felt the urge to laugh, so he quickly comforted Cao Tou.
Caotou, Jinyu and others reluctantly sent them to the entrance of the village, Cheng Nuo couldn't help but turned around and waved at them.He looked carefully at the receding garbage mountain, and suddenly felt a little sad.Although the place is broken and smelly, it doesn't look like a place where people live, but I still have some feelings after staying for so long.
He lowered his head to look at Liu Guang, Liu Guang's footsteps were full of excitement, he held his hand and walked forward, he was really a carefree child.Cheng Nuo's sadness quickly disappeared, and he quickly followed up with a smile.
Liu Guang's ability to survive in the wild is very strong, and he can find water sources, safe caves, etc. with his natural sensitivity. Cheng Nuo is really convinced by his nose that is sharper than a dog.
When they slept at night, they still lay together like at home. Cheng Nuo always hugged Liu Guang who fell asleep, because he could roll into the fire if he was not careful.Of course, Liu Guang wouldn't let him hug him when he was awake.
After walking for seven or eight days in a row, the two of them had already eaten all their dry food, and finally left the border area completely, and the villages and towns they passed were getting bigger and bigger.Even the prices were much more expensive than in the previous small towns. Cheng Nuo felt pain when he paid for it, and he was careful about everything he bought. Even so, his wallet was getting thinner day by day.
In order to save money at night, they do not stay in hotels, but look for some ruined temples or something, if not, they sleep under other people's eaves, so sometimes they will inevitably be expelled like beggars.
Liu Guang gritted his teeth and said to Cheng Nuo seriously: "I will definitely earn a lot of money in the future, and I will let you live in the biggest house. Every meal has a hundred dishes, and I wear one set of clothes and throw the other away."
Cheng Nuo laughed hilariously, if he is really rich, it wouldn't be such a waste, right?He patted the little man's shoulder and said with a smile, "Well, I made a note."
After inquiring all the way and walking for another three days, they finally arrived at a second-tier city belonging to Liaoji City.
The city was indeed different from those small villages. The city gate alone was so high that people looked up to it. Fortunately, there was no sign that the poor were not allowed to enter, and the two entered smoothly.
There are already many small sects in such a big city, and from time to time on the road, you will see cultivation disciples in fancy clothes riding various exotic beasts.Cheng Nuo and Grandma Liu looked around as if they were entering the Grand View Garden, but Liu Guang was actually not much better than him, and he also watched with curiosity.
The colors here are also very different from those in the gloomy slums, filled with all kinds of bright colors, even Cheng Nuo's eyes would twitch uncomfortably when he saw those females in red and green.
Only now did he know that it was normal to see those females in the small town. Some of them here obviously had the faces of uncles, but they were dressed exaggeratedly. Jade pendants, gold and silver threads embroidered with large groups of flowers and birds on the clothes, it's blinding!Females from rich and noble families are still sitting in ornately decorated cars or sedan chairs, accompanied by servants.
Cheng Nuo let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there is no rouge and gouache in this world!Otherwise, let people go out?
After running around for several days, Cheng Nuo decided to take Liu Guang to have a better meal, and then find an inn for a good night's rest.He pinched Liu Guang's cheeks habitually, as if he hadn't lost any flesh.
It was very awkward for Cheng Nuo to treat Liu Guang like this outside, and he yelled in a low voice, "Don't pinch my face outside! Slap my head!"
"Yes, I see." Cheng Nuo looked around curiously, and replied casually.
The emotions in this world are very weak, whether it is a lover or a relative, they are all light, and there are few close actions and exchanges outside.It seemed unusual for him to treat Liu Guang so intimately, what a world of cheating!
This land is too barren. There are two or three months of dry season in a year when no prey can be hunted, no wild vegetables can be dug in the fields, and the water in the river is dry and only enough for drinking.As a result, he had to go out to purchase during those days, and spent more than half of the energy coins that he had saved so easily.
