wave!

Hearing Tong Nian talk about the children, Wei Ding immediately thought of the little fruits at home, wondering what happened to them?

This young 'jun father' is really an enthusiastic person, and I listened to him talking all the way, telling stories about his previous travels.He is a master at storytelling, plus he is telling stories from his own personal experience, so the stories are vivid and interesting, which quickly attracted the attention of Wei Ding and his party.

"Among so many places, my favorite is 'The Underworld'. Don't look at me saying that the local birds don't shit. In fact, I like everything except the weather here. Brother, do you know why? ?”

Wei Ding had been fascinated by what he had heard for a long time, so he naturally answered the question and asked, "Why?"

"Don't look at the people here who look scary on the outside. In fact, they are very soft inside. If you give him a piece of cake, he is willing to give his life to you." Tong Nian said with a long sigh: " The people in this place are miserable!! It’s too miserable! If it wasn’t for the past two years of “hunting dead souls” to support themselves, this place... would have no signs of life.”

"Listen to the tone of the master, just now those armored soldiers chased the souls of the dead, just to support themselves?" Wu Ying was fascinated by what he heard.

"Of course. They are a group of big and thick children. They used to dig seeds in the snow pit and eat them shirtless. This is the first time I came here to do business. That scene made me cry. I am tall and burly. , there is only a piece of dry skin left on my body from starvation, even so, none of the people here complained and gave up on themselves, even if they starved to death, they never snatched a thing from my hand." Tong Nian recalled the terrible scene before, There were still tears in the depths of his eyes.

Wu Ying couldn't help being awed, "No wonder I saw them being so disciplined just now, born strong men."

"So don't worry, you guys. Since you are my fellow countrymen and friends, I will guarantee that you are here safe and sound." Tong Nian quickly changed his mood, dissolving the somewhat gloomy atmosphere just now, and talked about other happiness thing.

Although Lao Bai seemed to be walking slowly, he was actually walking much faster.Coupled with the stories of Tong Nian along the way, it didn't feel like it was too long before they saw a huge white city standing majestically in the ice and snow.

"Here! We've arrived at 'Ice City'." Tong Nian raised his eyes to look at the city, narrowed his eyes again, and admired it for a while with the eyes of his favorite masterpiece before saying happily: "I will enter the city later. , don’t be intimidated by the people inside, they are all good people, good monsters, good ghosts, and weird people.”

Wei Ding and the others listened to Tong Nian talking about the character of the people in this place, and they were not as nervous as they were at the beginning.I'm really looking forward to getting there.

Lao Bai yelled from a distance, and he heard the gate of the giant white city fall down with a "bang". The so-called "fall down" does not mean opening, the movement of falling is up and down, and the movement of opening is left and right.

The gate of this giant city is a whole block of extremely heavy and huge ice. There is no door bolt installed, nor is it hung with a sling. original ecology.

"Don't be intimidated. I've told them several times to ask them to add a sling to hang the door panel, but they think it's too slow to lower it a little bit, so they are willing to push it with brute force. No, I'm going out this time , is to create a new door for them." Tong Nian explained.

Wei Ding smiled, "It is indeed as you said, they are all simple-minded people."

Tong Nian yelled, Lao Bai arrived at the gate of the city in a blink of an eye, passed through the thick gate hole, and the largest living settlement in this extremely cold place appeared in front of their eyes.

It is different from the dilapidated one imagined. Although the buildings in the city are not high, they are all neat and orderly. Armored soldiers, and some ordinary 'people' who are not so strong, are engaged in small businesses such as peddlers and pawns. The overall appearance is indeed as Tong Nian said, a lot thinner, but the spirit and head on everyone's face and Enthusiasm makes people feel respect and love when they see it.

"Father Jun is back!" The guard at the city gate was a middle-aged man with a horn ornament on his head. It looks like a family. Just looking at their muscles, they feel that their living conditions are quite good, but in fact, looking at their waists and abdomen, which are particularly incompatible with the muscles of their limbs, one can see the hardships of life.Their waists are too thin, and their physical fitness exposes their weaknesses at a glance.

"Old Sha! Close the gate of the city and go home quickly. I brought you good medicine from outside. Be careful to use it when you go back. They are all effective medicines for waist injuries." Tong Nian turned around and sat in his car again. I searched around and found a big bag and handed it to the young man standing on the left hand side of the middle-aged man, "Xiao Zhe, remember that the pills are for eating, the medicine packs are for soaking, and the medicine patches are for sticking, don't confuse them." gone."

"Understood, Father Jun!" The young man straightened his waist solemnly, but because his waist was too thin, it seemed that this waist straightening was not obvious.

Ye Wufan's eyes wrinkled, it seems that the reason for the thin waist is more or less related to the physiological structure.

"Father Jun, I'm sorry to trouble you again." The middle-aged man smiled gratefully, stepped forward and patted Lao Bai's head, "You should go home quickly. The monarch has returned from the upper three realms a long time ago, and his expression is not good. It looks so good, you need to pay more attention to it."

"Understood." Tong Nian smiled, "It doesn't matter, he does this every time, everyone is used to it. I guess he got angry."

Lao Sha turned his head to look at Wei Ding and the others, "Are these Jun father's friends?"

"Yes! I have friends from my hometown." Tong Nian introduced Wei Ding and the others, "He came to see me. For some reason, only the soul came, and it was still alive. Don't let people disturb him."

"Come on, I'll let you guys know." Lao Sha readily agreed, without asking any more questions, he patted Lao Bai on the head, Lao Bai flicked his tail, raised his hoof, Go straight down the street on the left.

Wei Ding and the others looked from behind, and saw that the father and son easily pushed back the huge door weighing tens of tons with their own brute force.

"They... pushed the door from the outside and blocked it, how did they get in?" Xi Zhan asked puzzled.

"Haha!" Tong Nian laughed loudly, "That's why I said that they are innocent. We can think of this problem immediately, but it takes a long time for them to understand. Here, I installed a small door for them so that they can come in and out .They treat guarding the city gate as their life's work, so I'm reluctant to build a new gate because of this, lest they think they will lose their jobs."

"With a new gate, you can continue to guard the city gate." Xi Zhan said he couldn't understand.

"They'll be ashamed of something they think they can do without effort."

"The folk customs are simple and simple." Song Qiuwu summed it up in a simple and incisive way.

"Not only simple, but also tough." Tong Nian laughed loudly.

While talking, they arrived outside an ordinary black stone house on the corner of the street.This house is built spacious and grand, but the bamboo wind chimes at the door are not very harmonious with this majestic house.

"We're home." Tong Nian jumped out of the bullock cart, led Wei Ding and the others into the house, untied Lao Bai's bridle, and Lao Bai walked in through the open courtyard gate by himself, into his cattle into the shed, and closed the door by the way.

"The family is big, and I'm usually the only one." Tong Nian explained cheerfully, "You can just do whatever you want, don't be too polite, I'll go and boil some hot water for you."

Wei Ding and the others sat down in the living room and began to look at the environment here.Compared with the solemn and solemn outside, the inside of the house is very warm, exquisite decorations can be seen everywhere, and there are some fake flowers and grass, it looks like a product of the lower world.

When Tong Nian came back with tea, trainee Zhan was holding a plastic fake flower in the corner, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "There is almost no grass growing here, and the weather is slightly warmer for only one and a half months every year. The seeds that go down to the ground finally germinate. Then there will be a blizzard, and then there will be a long midwinter season. From birth to adulthood, children have little chance to see a small green seedling emerging from the ground. Let alone these fake flowers and plants, the things I put here They are all used to show them and gain insight.”

"It's the climate, so it's impossible for plants not to grow." Wei Ding said.

"That's right! Stop talking, drink water." Tong Nian poured a bowl of hot water for each of them.

Wei Ding couldn't drink it, but the four fathers drank it comfortably.

"You guys rest here tonight, I have to go out later, I won't come tonight." Tong Nian looked at the sky outside and said.

"Going out again?"

"Go to my child's house." Tong Nian rubbed his nose, a little embarrassed, "If I don't see him when I come back, he will be angry, and he won't let me go out in the future."

"I'm afraid your son is very worried about you wandering outside alone." Wei Dingyu said enviously.According to what the passers-by said before, the relationship between this gentleman and the father and son of this place is very good. If his family's little fruit grows up and can be so close to him in the future, he will be satisfied.

"Ahem... filial piety, filial piety!" Tong Nian touched his nose again.

The owner was really big-hearted, he led them to the kitchen, and showed Wei Ding and the others all the food in the house, "If you don't mind, you can make some food yourself, I don't have time to do it for you gone."

Wei Ding was also polite, "They are not like me, they have to eat, so thank you Mr. Tong."

"Call me Anian. I recognized you as a friend at the first sight, and I will call you Ading from now on." Tong Nian led them to a guest room again, "There are all in the bedding cabinet, I'll go It was just posted before, you can shop it yourself, I will probably come back tomorrow, and then I will treat you well."

Wei Ding is very happy that he can make Tong Nian this friend, this is the second time he met someone who offered to become a confidant with him after he taught his first friend when he was a teenager, he wanted to ask this intermediary I don't mind my identity as 'Yu Xian', but when I think of the consequences of doing so, I hesitate, until Tong Nian left home, I didn't find a chance to reveal my identity completely.

After sending Tong Nian out, Wei Ding secretly thought in his heart, it's not a big deal, he must ask him tomorrow.He doesn't mind himself, but he can't ignore the sincerity of others to him.However, he had a hunch that this bold and generous young father shouldn't mind.
