Chapter 9 Leaving
Bang!
"Hmph!" Audrey stood up with her hands slapped the table, snorted coldly, and turned around and left.
"Hi! Dear..." Charlie tried to call Audrey.
"Don't eat anymore, don't bother me!" Audrey replied coldly, disappearing at the entrance of the corridor.
"Hiss!" Xia Zuo made a strange voice at Charlie, waved his head and signaled Charlie to chase him to comfort him. He knew that his mother was very unhappy now.
"Naughty!" Charlie looked at Xia Zuo with a smile and replied, put down the tableware and walked to the rack beside him, picked up the hat and buckled it on his head, then picked up the crutch, and slowly chased Audrey step by step with the crutch.
Fifteen days later.
Shazzo brought hundreds of Celsa warriors to trade with Penia's family, and the other party actually dispatched 300 security troops to complete the transaction.
Charzo got a thousand gold, let Peña go, and learned about Peña's identity. Peña's full name is Peña Saint-Martin, and her father is Jose Saint-Martin, the new sheriff of Port de Seado. Because he was transferred in a hurry, he didn't have time to take his daughter away, so he sent a master to escort Peña back to Port de Seado, but unexpectedly he was still robbed.
The sheriff is already the third person in Port Deseado, second only to the Governor and the highest general of the Spanish garrison. It can be said that the status is prominent.
The transaction went smoothly, and there was no conflict between the two parties and the transaction was completed in a very short time.
At noon, in the desert, Xia Zuo, who had completely hidden his body in his robe, mixed with the hundreds of Selsa tribes. He looked at the security army that gradually disappeared after completing the transaction, and was speechless.
"Young master, have you fallen in love with that girl? Why don't we rob people now!" Ah Shou leaned over to Xia Zuo and said with a chuckle.
"Get out, you're just talking too much!" Xia Zuo kicked A Shu out and cursed with a smile.
In fact, Xia Zuo just sighed in his heart. Perhaps Penia is just a passerby in his life. After a brief contact, he may never see her again. As for liking Penia? This is impossible! Xia Zuo's standard for judging women comes entirely from movies. He really only likes women with big breasts.
Half a year later.
New Earth June 6, 1811.
Xia Zuo celebrated his thirteenth birthday. According to the customs of the Selsa people, Xia Zuo will officially become an adult on this day. For this reason, Audrey held the most grand adult ceremony for Xia Zuo, but on this day, Audrey had no good face, because tomorrow, Xia Zuo is an adult of the Selsa people, and he has the right to decide whether he leaves the desert.
Over the past six months, Audrey has been scheming Xia Zuo in every way, and she has wanted to break Xia Zuo's legs, so that Xia Zuo will not leave the desert when she becomes an adult, but in the end she did not make up her mind to really break Xia Zuo's legs. After all the methods were exposed by Xia Zuo, she could only allow this day to come.
Although Charzo has the blood of the Celsa people, he has a great advantage in leaving the desert than other Celsa people, because his appearance is basically no different from that of the white Europeans, that is, the Caucasians. He just needs not to speak the language of the Celsa people and conceal his accent, and it is difficult for people to discover his Celsa identity.
In fact, in addition to his own language, Shazzo also knows Latin and English, which Charlie taught him. Charlie's wishes have always been completely opposite to Audrey. He hopes that his son will go out of the desert and see the outside world, but he never tells Shazzo what the outside world looks like. He hopes that Shazzo will see, experience, and understand the world with his own eyes.
June 7th, morning, desert.
"Do you know if you want to keep it well?" Xia Zuo handed the cage in his hand to Millie and said with his head down.
"I know, it's very well-behaved. Millie will raise it. Brother, remember to come back to see Millie!" Millie, who was just five years old, lifted the cage in her hand, looked at the red-tailed golden scorpion cub inside, raised her head and said to Xia Zuo cutely, with reluctance flashing in her big eyes.
"Milly, my brother will come back to see you. Do you know if you want to listen to your mother?" Xia Zuo instructed.
"Yeah! Milly will be good!" Milly nodded with tears in her eyes and nodded obediently.
"Be good!" Xia Zuo squatted down, touched Mili's head, and turned her face to the side. Mili "pa" and kissed her, and Xia Zuo's face suddenly became wet.
A pair of man's hands suddenly picked up Milly, Charlie picked up Milly and looked at her grown son in front of her and instructed: "Child, be careful to hide yourself outside. Outside is not as good as the desert. It's not that we Celsa people have the final say. You have to learn to grow, do you understand?" Charlie's voice was feminine.
"Don't worry, father, I'll be careful!" Xia Zuo said to Charlie, with an excited look on his face. Charlie talked with him all night last night. There was no need to say more at this time. Xia Zuo understood Charlie's concerns and reluctance about his first time leaving the desert.
"Oh by the way, give me your burden!" Charlie suddenly seemed to remember something and said.
Charlie put Milly on the ground, took the bag handed over by Xia Zuo, touched it from inside, took out a purse from inside, opened it and looked at it, there were at least one hundred gold coins inside.
"Your mother put the wrong thing again, I'm so careless!" Charlie said in a feminine tone, and of course he put his purse in his arms and handed the bag back.
Xia Zuo carried the bag on his forehead with a black line. He didn't know what to say. According to Charlie, Xia Zuo should have left the desert with nothing and entered the world with his own hands, so he didn't even prepare the camel for Xia Zuo, let alone give money. The money that Charlie had just taken away should have been secretly put in his bag by Audrey.
"Let's go! Child!" Charlie waved to Shazzo.
"Then I'll leave, father, sister, goodbye!"
Xia Zuo left, and the wind and sand were sweeping, and he walked alone towards the east. He walked out of the 670,000 square kilometers of desert to see with his own eyes what the outside world was like.
Charlie, who was holding Milly, looked at Xia Zuo away. He suddenly raised his head, looked at the clean blue sky, and whispered: "Take good care of him!" After saying that, he looked up and shot at the sky, and then blew his fingertips gently.
…………
The bright room was decorated in luxuriously. On the chair by the window, Audrey looked out the window with red eyes. She didn't go to see Xia Zuo because she was afraid that she would be unable to control herself.
Tat…a gentle footsteps accompanied by the sound of crutches falling to the ground one after another.
"That little guy left without conscience?" Audrey turned around and asked.
"He'll be back now! He won't have any trouble!" Charlie walked to the window, held Audrey sitting in the chair in his arms, and comforted her softly.
"Why should I let him go? Why? You know, Lord Fiona has seen his fate. He can't leave here, he will die!" Audrey, who was frightened in the desert, cried out like a soft woman, grabbed Charlie's clothes and shook, then knelt on the ground with a plop, raised her head and begged Charlie: "Let him come back, you let him come back! Don't let him go!"
"You can't protect him all your life, nor can I. He won't die. You have to believe me, okay?" Charlie lifted Audrey up and placed it on the chair, scolding him in a stern tone.
Audrey covered her face and cried bitterly.
"He won't be a problem, believe me..." Charlie slowed down and stopped Audrey in his arms. He patted Audrey's back gently, looked out the window and muttered to himself: "How could my King Charlie's son die so easily?"
In the endless desert, the scorching sun was scorching. Xia Zuo, wearing a black robe, walked to the east alone. Because of his habit, he still hid his body in his dirty robe.
This time when he left, Shazo threw away everything related to the Celsa except him. Even his clothes were made of new things, and of course they were dirty now, because he had been walking in the desert for a long time.
Xia Zuo has grown a lot in the past six months, and his height has grown from 1.5 meters to about 1.55 meters. Half a year, five centimeters, which is not easy for Xia Zuo, who inherited his father's Charlie genes in terms of body shape.
The desert will not turn cool until the night falls, and it will become cold in the middle of the night. In the daytime, the desert is too hot, and running will consume too much physical energy. Therefore, Xia Zuo chose to walk during the day and run at night. His plan is to sleep for four hours a day, and the rest of the time will be used to move forward, so that you can enter the wasteland in about two days and two nights.
Shazzo has never left the desert, so he is excited.
"Run! There are sand bandits!" Suddenly, a cry came from afar. A man with blood on his body rode a camel over the small sand dune in the distance and ran towards Xia Zuo.
"Sand bandit?" Xia Zuo stopped, his mouth curled up, and muttered to himself in a playful tone.
