Outside the boudoir, Lu Ming looked around, quietly sizing up the layout of the room, while pretending to change the subject, "Your father came back in front of us, why isn't he at home?"
"It's really weird, isn't it?"
"I followed him out secretly, so he probably went to find me."
In the room, Linglong reached out and brushed the trinkets hanging in front of the bed. The trinkets that looked like shells made a jade-like sound. Her eyes immediately curled up, showing a little enjoyment and pride. She turned around and looked at the person outside the door.
Lu Ming, a gentleman, suddenly found it funny.
"Come in and sit down, why are you staying outside?"
"Second sister, this is your boudoir. Isn't it appropriate for a grown man like me to come in?"
After hearing this, Lu Ming raised his leg to cross the threshold but quickly lowered it, with hesitation on his face.
It is said that women in ancient times had to rely on others just to meet and enter the boudoir. I can't bear this disadvantage.
Although this is not ancient times, it is just a different world, and it is also a small hidden tribe in the storybook, but before you know the custom of weaving fire, it is best not to act rashly.
"Second sister?"
Liu's eyebrows suddenly stood up, Linglong stared and snapped off the small ornaments hanging in front of the bed.
"Yes, second sister, we just became sworn sworn friends, why did you forget so quickly?"
Lu Ming looked up at the sky.
"When did I become sworn sworn friends to you? Have I ever cared about you?"
Linglong once again refreshed her understanding of Lu's shamelessness.
Should I say it or not?
Didn’t I just leave without looking back or even looking at you?
How was the ceremony accomplished?
You worship the air.
With a cold snort, Linglong smashed the jewelry in her hand and said, "How about you call my second sister and try again?"
"What will happen if I scream?"
"Scream,...I will ignore you!"
"...Ahem, don't throw things around. It's not good to hit flowers and plants~"
Lu Ming's mouth twitched slightly, and he immediately felt funny when he saw the girl who was trying to be cold-faced but actually looked cute and cute, but he still picked up the trinkets and went in to hang them up.
The moment he hung it up, Lu Ming slapped himself on the forehead again.
Finished!
This girl is poisonous!
I'm out of my mind, why should I listen to her?
Sighing and regretting in his heart, Lu Ming was so honest that he was ready to sit down, shut down his bad mouth habit, talk less, and show less personality charm.
Why don't you give this girl some blind analysis?
What a blind idea.
"etc!"
Before she could sit down, Linglong glanced and noticed something out of the corner of her eye. She immediately pulled Lu Ming up with quick eyes and hands, her face slightly red.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Ming looked at it strangely, and as soon as his eyes shifted to the bed, his hair stood on end. He laughed quickly: "I'm sorry, I'm used to lying at home, but I want to lie down when I see the bed~"
The misunderstanding seems to be getting deeper and deeper.
But I really didn't mean it.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Lu Ming reflected on himself again, glanced around the room, and didn't even dare to sit on the bench anymore.
"My problem, I sit on the ground."
"I'm not blaming you~ Just, just~ just wait a moment." Linglong murmured and couldn't explain why. Seeing that Lu Ming's attention didn't seem to be on the messy bed, she was immediately relieved and turned around to quickly clean it up.
The second one is tidied up.
Then he raised his face slightly and coughed dryly, "Well, you can lie down on it now."
lie?
Didn't I just prepare to sit down?
Why do you want me to lie down again?
This must stop in moderation!
"I've been exercising recently. Sitting on the floor is just right. Your bed is too soft and not suitable for me."
After blowing twice at the non-existent dust, Lu Ming was about to sit down.
Before she could lie down, Linglong, who was standing, lifted her up and pulled her up again.
"Linglong, I'm really training my body. Gentle Township, Tomb of Heroes, you must not treat me like this. On the surface, you are treating me well, but in fact, you are hurting me and destroying my foundation...
…”
"Stop, stop, stop."
Seeing that this guy was showing off his foul mouth again, Linglong listened as if he was chanting sutras, waved his hand and tried to drag him up, "The first day you came to my house, you sat on the ground. This made the people who made the fire know, but they didn't know yet.
How do you organize me behind the scenes?"
"It's none of my business if you want to exercise or something. Just sit down for a while. When my father comes back, we will explain the matter about the Lord of God clearly and then leave."
"That won't work. The most important thing in exercising is persistence. How can I take a break in the middle? If I take a break today, I will still be attached to the feeling today tomorrow. If it goes on for a long time, won't I be useless?"
"Can you stop nagging for a long time, how can a grown man be so mother-in-law..."
"That's not nagging, that's just a good habit that contemporary people often say but don't stick to..."
"..."
The two of them were talking to each other, and just as they were about to close their eyes, a conversation suddenly came from outside the house. Lu Ming was very smart. He heard the sound first, and stopped reasoning with Linglong, and ran to the window in a few steps.
forward,
"What's wrong?"
Linglong frowned and asked.
"Void!"
Lu Ming made a silent gesture and looked out the window again, "The old man your clan leader is here."
After saying that, Lu Ming looked around the room again, trying to find a hiding place.
"He's coming as soon as he comes. Why are you panicking?"
"Have you forgotten? I am a person imprisoned in a dungeon. If they come here now, they might arrest me~"
"That's it,"
Linglong suddenly realized it, and immediately dragged Lu Ming, who was climbing around the corner, and opened the quilt, "Stop looking, there is no hole in my house, you... just hide under the quilt."
"Impossible, can't I hide under the bed?"
Lu Mingmeng shook his head, and then bent down to get under the bed. Linglong grabbed him again. Under his puzzled expression, he stretched out his little foot and kicked the bed twice, and there were two banging sounds.
Just one that is extremely hard!
Lu Ming touched the solid object underneath and said, "Linglong, this bed of yours is unscientific!"
Linglong ignored him, lifted a corner of the quilt, then walked to the window to look outside, and at the same time reminded: "The patriarch and the others have already entered my yard."
Lu Ming: "..."
Linglong continued: "The one next to the clan leader is my Uncle Chifang, the leader of the Tongshan Group. My father said he is the strongest person in the Zhihuo Clan besides him!"
"Your father is so thick-skinned~"
"As long as we, the Fire Weaver tribe, use our fire fangs, the fire fangs of the surrounding human tribe can sense the fire energy. My home is not very far from the town, and they will be swarming here soon~"
There was a thump behind her, and Linglong smiled. She turned around and looked at the slightly bulging quilt leaning against the wall. She felt slightly panicked, but she still knew what to do at the moment. She quickly found a few pieces of clothing from the side and put it on top.
The whole thing looks a bit messy, but at least the heights are consistent.
Slightly relieved, Linglong took a deep breath, rubbed her slightly hot face, and walked out the door without forgetting to remind in a low voice: "Don't stick your butt out so high, I don't have that many clothes to put aside."
Lu Ming: "..."
This girl is poisonous!
Lu Ming hid under the quilt and shivered, feeling that his life was over. He was a good girl, and it would be nice to play some pranks. Why should he be so nice to a stranger like me?
It’s so unforgivable!
…………
Stepping on the wooden stairs with clang, Linglong trotted down, looked at the patriarch and Chifang who had just entered the house and said in surprise: "Chief, Uncle Chifang, why are you here?"
His little face was full of enthusiasm and surprise.
The clan leader and Chi Fang looked puzzled. What happened to Linglong, who was usually arrogant and self-pitying?
If you are full of enthusiasm, there must be a ghost!
But the most important thing now is not to get involved with little arrogances like Linglong. After all, he is Zhihuo's child. Some time ago, he went out of his way to show that he failed the exam, so he had to be more tolerant to Linglong.
The two of them thought about it, and after looking at each other, the patriarch asked directly: "Linglong, we came to see your father. Is your father at home?"
Where is Dad Huo Tu Xin?
Linglong was also wondering about this matter. When she heard this, she frowned and asked, "Have you not seen my father either?"
"What's the meaning?"
The clan leader immediately realized something was wrong and quickly asked: "Is Huo Tu Xin missing?"
"No no,"
Linglong shook her head fiercely, "I haven't seen anyone else all morning. I thought he would find one of you."
After a pause, Linglong said with relief: "Don't worry, I know my father best. He will definitely come home before dark."
Thinking about it, Linglong was also confused. Although her father would definitely be at home after dark, but based on this time of day, he should already be cooking.
"The same goes for Huo Tu Xin. He's still running around doing this kind of thing."
The patriarch's mustache twitched and he was a little angry: "None of you, father and daughter, can make me worry."
Linglong smiled flatteringly.
"Clan leader, business is more important. Let's make arrangements for Linglong first. As for Huo Tu Xin, I'll just give him a notice after seeing it." Chi Fang held Fire Fang in his hand, sighed, and persuaded.
"Arrange me? What to do?"
Linglong immediately took a step back and looked at the two of them warily.
"Hey, aren't you afraid of nothing but heaven and earth? You even dared to run rampant in the earth and fire exams. Why are you still afraid of us?"
Chi Fang suddenly smiled, raised the fire fang in his hand and pointed at the flashing point in the sky, "It's because of that thing."
"Hanging crystal?"
Linglong took one look and exclaimed.
"Hmm? You know?"
"Uh...my dad said that."
Linglong realized that she had let something slip.
Fireweavers live deep in the mountains all year round and have little knowledge of external things.
"Huo Tu Xin?" The clan leader frowned slightly, but had no intention of getting to the bottom of it. "That's right. He is such a strange person, so it is not strange for him to know something."
"Yep."
Chi Fang also nodded in agreement, and immediately stopped thinking about it, and continued to say to Linglong: "Linglong, quickly pack some daily necessities, and then follow us to the ancestral mine to hide for a while."
"What are you doing in the ancestral mine?" Linglong asked in confusion.
"It's not because of that thing in the sky. Since you know it's called a hanging crystal, you should naturally understand its purpose. According to the kid in the prison before, it's specially used to inform people outside. It's expected that someone will arrive in less than three days.
Come to Fireweaver."
The clan leader sighed and said slowly.
Ever since he learned the purpose of the thing in the sky from Lu Ming's mouth, he felt uneasy in his heart. After some consideration, he arranged for the women and children of the Fire Weaver Tribe to pack up their common items and temporarily move to the ancestral mine.
We plan to let them live in the ancestral mine for a few days, and then return to normal life after the thing in the sky disappears.
The Ancestral Mines, as the name suggests, are some of the mines left behind by the ancestors of the Fireweavers when they excavated the Ye Stones. Although the Ye Stones that can produce fire energy have been excavated, because the entire land is surrounded by earth fires, there is a natural fire defense in the surrounding area.
, if you are not a fireweaver, looking for a mine in a daze, you are very likely to fall down and create an area with underground fire.
As the leader of the clan, Zhi Huo is now weak. It is obvious that he can't think much about the defense ability of the outside world, but he still wants to make women and children safer as much as possible.
Although Linglong lives with her father outside the village, she is still a fire weaver after all.
That's why the two of them came to inform.
"Speaking of that kid, he is indeed hateful. When we went back, we found that he had already run away. Maybe he was the one who created this ghost thing. If I had known, I should have stabbed him to death with a fire fang! Burned him to death!"
Uncle Akafang looked angry.
After arranging the departure of the clan members in the village, he first went to the dungeon. Unexpectedly, a large piece of wood fell off the ceiling of the dungeon, making the skylight even more dark.
This man escaped from prison!
"Haha~" Linglong smiled guiltily.
If the patriarch and Uncle Chifang knew that the person was under her bed, they would not know what to think. Linglong felt even more panicked and secretly thought about countermeasures. If she went upstairs to get clothes, would the patriarch and the others follow?
It shouldn’t be a girl’s room~
But what will Lu Ming do if I leave?
Linglong's eyes were wandering, thinking about things for a while and making no move.
"Linglong, why are you still standing there?"
The clan leader frowned slightly when he saw Linglong who was dumbfounded, and quickly urged: "Hurry up and get your things packed upstairs."
"Ah, what, I..."
"Are you worried that your father won't see you when he comes back?" Chi Fang consciously saw Linglong's hesitation, and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, I will tell your father when I see him, and I will tell him as well."
The clan leader is calm, I promise your father won’t be worried."
"Ah, what, I'm really worried about my dad."
Rolling her eyes, Linglong indeed had an inspiration flash in her mind. She sighed and said quickly: "Clan leader, Uncle Chifang, you go and notify other families first. I will wait for my father and let him know when he comes back.
"
Before the two of them could say anything to persuade Linglong, she stretched out her hand to stop him and said again: "Don't worry, no matter whether my father comes back or not, I will definitely go to the ancestral mine before dark, and I will never cause any trouble to the clan."
"this……"
The two looked at each other, hesitant.
"Don't be like this, you know, I have been dependent on each other since I was a child..."
"Oh, okay, okay, let's go to the other branch first."
After a while,
The two walked out of the yard.
"Clan leader, do you feel that something is wrong with Linglong?"
"What's not right?"
"According to her previous temperament, shouldn't she have retorted loudly? Why is she still playing the emotional card today?"
