[Twelve Kingdoms] The dance of the vast sky in the mountains

?Zhao Xin hid in a small alley and kept moaning.What is going on?No matter where she went, there were a bunch of people chasing her, so she had to dodge to avoid the really ugly flies.She obviously wears the clothes here, but she doesn't look beautiful or shocking. Why do people here yell the same word (Taifu) and kneel down or chase after her as soon as they see her for the first time?What on earth made her so conspicuous!

She subconsciously touched the skull earrings covered by the hair, at first she thought it was because of this, but even after covering it, the situation still didn't change, so she ruled out a possibility.However, apart from that, she really couldn't think of any other obvious characteristics of herself.

(Master Taifu!)

The voice from behind made her froze, and rushed out like a conditioned reflex, leaving the screams far behind.

God!When will this great escape end? !

Because she didn't want to be chased around, Zhao Xin chose to take the mountain road.There should be no wild beasts, as long as you walk on the path next to the place where there are people.With such luck, she walked in an unknown direction for a few days.The most difficult thing to solve was the food problem, because she was afraid of the danger of being in danger of being in contact with people, so she had to find something to eat in the woods as much as possible.Fortunately, she is used to being alone, so she doesn't feel lonely and sad.

After about a week and a half, she found that there was no road ahead.The familiar breath of sea water brushed her face, and she was no longer in the mood to praise the ocean.You can only walk along the coast, maybe you can find a boat, and since it is the sea, maybe you can connect with China—couldn’t she have drifted here with the sea?It's not impossible.

Along the way, she saw people more and more often, and she wisely chose to avoid them. Then one day later, she saw the city.

"It's the port." She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.If there is a port, you can find a ship, but you have to find a way to get on the ship... It sounds like a smuggling.

Except for leading her brothers to fight occasionally to grab territory or something, she really didn't do any serious illegal things.Go all out, just this once, no big deal!Trying to cheer herself up, she shrank her head cleverly, avoiding the two shooting eyes.

Fortunately, there is this wooden barrel.She squatted behind the half-person-high wooden barrel, listening intently to the sounds outside.No one came to check, which is great.

Wait until it's dark before moving on.While thinking about the method of smuggling, she subconsciously sniffed the smell of the wooden barrel, as if it contained fruit?It's over, she is already very hungry and has no resistance to this smell... I really want to eat it!It doesn't matter if you only eat one, right?Stretch your hand into the wooden barrel, and quickly find a fresh and tender one - peach!

Have you seen the old domestic animation "Havoc in Heaven"?Now Zhao Xin looks like a grandson who picks peaches in the peach orchard, squatting in the corner and eating fresh peaches.

After eating one, still want to eat?Then make another one!Well, it's delicious, come again... Before she knew it, her hands could no longer reach the peaches in the barrel.

Glancing at the peach pits all over the floor, she stuck out her tongue.I ate and ate, what should I do?Simply put, it is better to let him put it back in the barrel.Holding the peach pits together in her arms, she cautiously jumped into the barrel.There were still [-]% of the peaches inside, she pulled them out with hands and feet, and drilled into it by herself.Woohoo, was buried alive by Taozi.While complaining to herself like this, she still stayed obediently under the peach pile and struggled to breathe.I hope this bucket of peaches is the cargo of the ship.

The sky is getting colder, it should be dark already, right?

Zhao Xin leaned against the barrel wall in a daze, trying not to fall asleep.To stay awake and deal with emergencies, yes, stay awake... awake... half asleep, she didn't realize that her body was already shaking with the wooden barrel, but fell asleep even more.

(Is it an illusion? Why does this bucket of peaches seem to be heavier than before?)

(A peach is a peach, if you just want to find an excuse to be lazy, you don’t need to find such a crappy one? Don’t worry, I will let you all rest for a while when I return from the delivery.)

(That's a big thank you. Honestly, you're the most forgiving employer I've ever had.)

The hired worker was joking and wondered: Am I old and useless?Otherwise, why do you think this bucket of peaches is ridiculously heavy?

Zhao Xin woke up shaking violently, just opened his mouth to yawn, when he swayed, a peach was squeezed into his mouth.

The service is really attentive.Zhao Xin comforted himself by imagining that he was sitting in a classical and luxurious carriage, someone was feeding him fruit, loud songs were being sung outside the carriage (that was the screaming of hired workers, okay!), and the sound of colorful flags fluttering overhead .It's just that the peach in my mouth seems a bit too big, woo woo...it hurts so badly.

Of course, Zhao Xin who was trapped in the wooden barrel didn't know that the so-called "sound of fluttering colorful flags" was actually the wind blowing by the wings of flying monsters. .

A person bumped into the wooden barrel in a dizzy state, and the wooden barrel immediately rolled to the ground, and the peaches in the barrel kept rolling out as the barrel rolled—together with Zhao Xin’s mouth, which was moving in a uniform circular motion due to centrifugal force Zhao Xin couldn't care less about being discovered, so he yelled loudly, but unfortunately no one heard him in the chaos.

Help... I'm so dizzy, I'm about to vomit, don't make me pay for your peach...

I don't know when, the outside suddenly became quiet, only the wooden barrel was still rolling and rolling, and finally hit something and stopped suddenly.

saved.Zhao Xin shook his head and crawled outside.

The young man stood indifferently beside the monster that had been split in half, and looked around. Except for three or four people who had died, the injured and uninjured people had already disappeared without a trace.

He looked again at the abandoned cargo.Knowing that Fang has no king, he dared to come to do business without even hiring a guard. Are you afraid now?Stupid businessman.

Forget it, the smell of blood will soon attract other monsters, and before that, he has to leave as soon as possible.Just as he was about to walk, a hand suddenly stretched out from the wooden barrel in front of him, shaking and shaking as if looking for a place to borrow strength, and it took a long time before he grabbed a raised stone on the ground.who?The boy's eyes flashed, and the sword in his hand swung towards the barrel.

"Wow——" The wooden barrel suddenly turned into pieces and hit him. Zhao Xin screamed and before he could figure out what was going on, a sharp blade flashed across his eyes.

(Kirin?)

Seeing the blond hair, the young man withdrew his sword in surprise, and was about to go forward to find out what happened, but Zhao Xin, who was already dizzy, froze and fainted after being frightened.

"My lord, that's not a unicorn, she doesn't have the aura of a unicorn." A deep voice came from the boy's feet.

The young man looked up at the sky and felt the monster approaching, "Then we have to take her away." Moreover, he had to ask her about her attempt to pretend to be a unicorn.

Thus, Zhao Xin's solo adventure journey has finally come to an end, and a more difficult journey is about to begin.

The body gradually became conscious, and Zhao Xin woke up from the lethargy. Her first reaction was not to ask "where is this", but "is there anything to eat".No way, peaches are just peaches after all, not stuffed buns.

Ah, I’m so hungry. Who is that? He pulled her out of the barrel without mercy.You don't have to starve her to death for stealing half a bucket of peaches, right?

Shaking his head and looking around, there was only one window where there was a silver-haired figure sitting on the window sill with his head slightly lowered, not sure if he was looking at the sword in his arms or dozing off.

Wow, old man, don't make such dangerous moves!Zhao Xin swallowed his saliva, temporarily put aside his stomach problem, and tiptoed towards the back.Don't find out, what if you are so frightened that you fall down all of a sudden?She can only simply bandage, she is not a professional surgeon!

Unexpectedly, before she got within a foot of the back, she felt a blur in front of her eyes, she fell back with great experience, and when she took a closer look, a sharp sword stopped in front of her eyes.Fortunately, I stopped in time, otherwise I would collide.

As soon as she looked up, wow wow wow!no?It turned out that the silver-haired one was not an "old man", but a girl similar to her.

"I say you." As soon as Zhao Xin realized this, she immediately began to lecture others, only to see that she thought she was handsome and pushed aside the sword, and stood up with one hand, "How can you hold such a dangerous weapon at such a young age?" Do you know that it will kill you? Go, go, put this thing away..." Zhao Xin, who was babbling because the other party couldn't understand what he said, if he found himself The sharp beak and sharp claws of the messenger on the back have almost touched her hair, I don't know what the reaction is...

Ye Ming glanced at her in silence, and after making sure she was not hostile, he put away his long sword, and at the same time signaled Shi Ling to hide underground.

"...So, swords are not things that you just carry on your body. If you understand, give it to me. I can sell it to get some travel expenses and find a way to go home." Zhao Xin, who had been talking for a long time, completely forgot The other party didn't understand what he said, so he suddenly added, "By the way, can you get me something other than peaches? I don't want to eat peaches anymore in my life."

peach?Ye Ming reached out his hand and took out a round object from his pocket.Um, by the way, it was brought with me when I picked up this girl.

"Please! Don't let me see Tao Zi again!" Zhao Xin yelled, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, you don't understand what I said."

Ye Ming frowned, why can't I understand what you said?She looked at Zhao Xin who was circling around the room in a hurry, and said flatly, "I'll get you food, don't run around." There should be an envoy watching, so she shouldn't be able to run away.

"Oh, I know, I know, and I don't understand what you're saying, how dangerous it is to go out." Zhao Xin replied casually, and continued to think "She can't understand what I said, how can I express 'I'm hungry , want to eat something other than peaches'".

The language barrier is indeed an obstacle.

By the way, what did the kid just say?Are you going to get food?How did she know I was going to eat?She can't understand what I'm saying... Can't she understand?

huh huh?

Did she really say something understandable just now?Could it be a hallucination caused by starvation?

When Ye Ming came back with the food, he saw Zhao Xin who was in a daze with his eyes wide open.She looked down at the food in her hands, "Because it's not time for meals, this is the only thing you can eat in the inn." She looked at Zhao Xin and asked tentatively, "Or are you more used to eating peaches?"

"Don't!" Zhao Xin jumped back suddenly, almost flying out of the window, "Even if I starve to death, I don't want to touch another peach!"

Oh?She was fully awake at this moment, staring at Ye Ming with surprise and inexplicable force, as if what she always wanted to eat was not food, but Ye Ming.

"You...understand? Do you know what I'm talking about?"

Ye Ming looked at her quietly, the child must be out of his mind, right?How could you not understand what you were talking about?She put down the plate in her hand, "Are you going to answer my question, or eat first?"

"That..." Zhao Xin licked his lips, his attention had shifted from "beauty" to "food", "Do you want... I will ask you while eating?"

Ye Ming thought about it, then nodded.

Zhao Xin couldn't wait to throw himself on the food and gobble it up.

"Your hair..." Ye Ming looked at her, and couldn't bear to interrupt her to eat, as if she had been hungry for a long time.

"Hoo... hair?" Zhao Xin tried hard to swallow a big mouthful of rice, and opened a big smile, "Isn't it handsome? I spent a lot of money to dye it. It's not afraid of water, and it won't fade for a long time."

"Dye it?" Ye Ming automatically ignored the "advertisement" part, "Why did you dye it gold?"

"Why? Of course it's because it looks good." Zhao Xin waved his chopsticks, "Is it illegal to dye hair? No way? What kind of conservative country is this?"

"It's not like that." Ye Ming was a little confused, "But why is it golden? Only the hair of a unicorn is golden, isn't it? Why pretend to be a unicorn?"

"Huh?" Zhao Xin was almost choked, "You mean unicorn? It's the kind of messy thing in ancient books?" She looked at her body, making sure there was nothing unusual, "I'm so handsome... no no No, it's cute and charming, how can it look like that old and worn-out beast? Pretending to be something, don't you suspect that I'm a 'unicorn spirit' or a 'unicorn monster'? It's inexplicable!"

There are actually people in the world who belittle the Taifu adults who are admired by thousands of people... Ye Ming sighed and gave up this kind of inquiry, "You eat quickly, tell me which country you are from after eating, I will find a way to send you Go back." It would be better not to be Dai, but then again, besides Dai, there is no other country that dares to talk nonsense about "Kirin".

"Are you going to send me home? Can you really send me home?" Zhao Xin swallowed the last bite of food and hiccupped, "I'm from that great China!" Praising his motherland That's right, anyway, after so many years of education from childhood to adulthood, it's good to have some temporary effects.

"China?" Ye Ming thought for a long time, "Is it Kunlun?"

"Huh?" Now it was Zhao Xin's turn to be dumbfounded.Can speak Chinese, but don't know what "China" is?Ridiculous, right? "Who is the teacher who taught you Chinese? Didn't he tell you that there is a country in the world called China?"

"'Han'? It really is Kunlun." Ye Ming said to himself, "It's going to be difficult now, it's impossible to send it back."

"Hey, hey, are you listening to me? I'm talking about 'China' to you!"

"Isn't it Kunlun?"

"What and what? Let me tell you..."

As a result, it took a long time for the two of them to understand each other's meaning. It seems that only the language is not enough. Zhao Xin decided to brainwash the only person who understands his own words, so that she can send him home.Hey, if people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy it.
