Scrap iron

Sevag's eyes filled with tears at some point, and they flowed down the sides of his cheeks, hot as if his heart was vibrating.

The author says:

Sewag never expected that Xue Dan and Lucas were making the floor with him.

36. Pain

When Maddie came out to make a quilt, he saw old Mr. Joey sitting in front of the steps, grinding his wood.His eyes have been blurred for a long time, and there are thin spots on the back of his hands.

When Maddie came out to make a quilt, he saw old Mr. Joey sitting in front of the steps, grinding his wood.

His eyes have been blurred for a long time, and the thin and soft old skin on the back of his hand is loosely attached to the blue blood vessels, tremblingly rubbing against the wood in the palm of his hand in the oblique light of the morning.

Maddie yelled at old Mr. Joey: "Uncle Joey, let Brother Qin Ji and Mr. Alex do some work, don't grind wood here, or your hands will be damaged!"

Old Mr. Joey raised his face. On his dark face, his eyes were narrowed. He looked at Maddie with difficulty, slowly raised a smile, and said indistinctly: "Boy, baby didn't come back last night, here "Wait, wait for them."

Maddie put down the quilt, walked down the stone steps with strong legs, squatted in front of Mr. Joey, and said loudly, "Brother Qin Ji and Mr. Alex didn't come back last night?"

Old Mr. Joey nodded: "Boy, if you can be patient, it's okay. I'll just wait, wait here."

Maddie was not at ease.He remembered that Brother Qin Ji had come to him before, saying that his muscles sometimes had disobedient spasms, and that Mr. Alex also suffered from eye problems for a long time.

These two people were able to hide better than the other, but they all came to him to talk about it, and they refused to say a word to the other party and Mr. Joey.If the two of them fell ill when they met the Royal Army, it might be difficult to escape.

Maddie held Mr. Joey's thin shoulders with his powerful hands, knelt down on one knee, and looked straight into his blue eyes: "Yes, uncle is waiting here. I think the two of them will be back soon."

Old Mr. Joey kept nodding: "Hey, hey."

Maddie turned around, went into the corridor of his house, and called out two or three infected boys and girls: "Brother Qin Ji and Mr. Alex didn't come home last night, let's go to the next few streets to find Find them."

They said they were looking for it, but in fact, several of them knew in their hearts that it would be best not to find it.If it is a living person, it is estimated that he has not left the house at this point. Only when he was killed by the royal army in the street last night can he find the body in the early morning.

Maddie was looking for the westernmost road in this block by himself. He had just passed through the alley when he heard someone muttering: "That's right, two more died..."

Maddie's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the muttering person.It was a middle-aged man and woman standing at the door making a quilt, whispering to each other over the fence of the corridor.

He raised his voice and asked them politely, "Excuse me, both of you, where are those two now?"

With his back turned to him, the middle-aged man was shocked.The middle-aged woman had seen him a long time ago, so she pointed to the south side of the street at this moment: "The southernmost entrance, I just heard someone talk about it, are you looking for them?"

Maddie nodded: "Thank you, big sister!"

The middle-aged woman waved her hand and sighed: "You're welcome, go quickly, they will be thrown on the street, and they will feel uncomfortable after they die."

Maddie followed the direction pointed by the middle-aged woman, all the way to the south entrance of the street.Here is the main road, but the prosperous stalls of the past have disappeared, and the road is dead, only the royal carriages still pass by from time to time.

When Maddie saw a small circle of people over there, his heart sank heavily. He thought that it must not be Brother Qin Ji and Mr. Alex, otherwise what would old Mr. Joey do.

He pushed aside the crowd roughly: "Please let me out! Please let me out!"

Perhaps the onlookers saw the anxiety on his face, and the people in the innermost circle turned their heads and silently took half a step back to both sides.

One of the two bodies was a woman, Maddie sighed, okay, okay.

He stepped forward, thinking about leading people to the two sides, instead of just lying in the middle of the street.

Maddie turned over the female corpse, revealing the face covered by the disheveled hair.

He stood up abruptly and took two big steps back.

At this time, the crowd of onlookers also recognized the female corpse, they were in an uproar and retreated one after another.

This is Anna II's little sister, Hitt.

Maddie tried hard to calm his beating heart, and stretched out his hand to turn over the male corpse next to him.

It was a young man, his eyes wide open, his brown irises bloodred with hatred and rage.

He was quite handsome, holding a sharp iron in his hand, the sharp iron was covered with coagulated blood clots, which had been glued together with the palm of his hand.

Maddie examines their wounds.

The female corpse was wounded at the heart, where there was a deep gap, and Maddie visually observed that the shape of the wound matched the sharp iron.

The male corpse was wounded at the back of the head, and the entire back of the head was covered in blood, almost deformed by the impact.The two corpses had scars all over their bodies, and the signs of fighting were obvious.

Maddie stood up, moving away from the two corpses.He sternly said to the onlookers: "It's all gone, it's all gone, don't you think there are not enough troubles?"

The onlookers chatted in low voices and left slowly, their eyes very taboo.

Maddie quietly hid a badge with a cat's face on the male body into his pocket.The people in the royal family must never know that the person who killed Hitt belonged to the cat hall.

Just as he put his finger into his pocket, a figure suddenly jumped down from the next corridor and stretched out his hand to Maddie: "Hand over what you took away."

Maddie recognized him, this is Sewag, a young man who runs a restaurant on the East Street.

He raised one hand above his head, slowly took out the cat face badge with the other hand, and handed it to Sewag: "I only took this one."

Sewag wiped off the blood clot on it and examined it carefully.

Medili took half a step forward, Sewag looked up at him vigilantly.He lowered his voice and asked eagerly, "Are Brother Qin Ji and Mr. Alex with you?"

Sewag blinked his blue eyes and asked Maddie, "Who are you?"

McDillie saw the clue, and let go of half of his heart: "I'm Maddie, their brother on the same street, and I came to find them for Uncle Joey."

Sewag looked him up and down distrustfully, and finally said stiffly: "I don't know the person you mentioned."

Maddie smiled, and patted Sewag on the shoulder: "Young man, seeing that you are about the same age as me, your eyesight is quite different. Okay, I understand, you all need to be careful.

If you can send a message to Brother Qin Ji and Mr. Alex, tell them that Uncle Joey has been waiting for them at the door for almost two hours, and tell them to come home quickly. "

Sevagel was a little hot, but he still insisted: "I don't know the person you mentioned."

Maddie said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'm bothering you." He spread his hands, "Do you have anything else to do? I'll go back if I have nothing to do."

Sewag said: "Yes, you must not tell anyone about the fact that you have obtained this badge." He stared at Mediri sternly, with so much power in it.

Maddie was not intimidated by the soft tiger in his heart, and smiled: "Of course, I promise not to say anything."

Sewag reminded him several times worriedly, and then let Medili go back.

Xue Dan is still on the first floor of the cat hall.

He seemed to be stupefied at the moment, his eyebrows were tightly frowned into a pimple, thin and dense cold sweat spread across the broad forehead, on the tip of the high nose, and in the deep, sharp groove between the chin and the neck.

Kajima passed through the worried people in the cat hall, knelt and sat opposite Lucas, bent down and applied a hot towel to Xue Dan.

She put her palm on his neck, felt it carefully for a while, and asked in confusion: "What kind of illness is he, why can't I see it?"

Lucas held Xue Dan's trembling right palm, and kept twitching against his strong forearm: "On the one hand, it's a muscle spasm, on the other hand..."

He stretched out his hand, touched the pimple between Xue Dan's eyebrows, and spread it to both sides without any explanation, "I'm afraid there is depression in my heart."

Kajima and everyone in the cat hall looked at Lucas eagerly, and she said, "What should I do?"

Lucas shook his head: "I have never dealt with this kind of spasm caused by excessive iron binding, and I don't have any materials on hand, so I can't help it." Let alone him, the medical supplies of the entire Kamo Empire are now are in short supply.

He looked at Xue Dan's facial features that were entangled due to pain, and involuntarily gritted his teeth, frowning.

His eyes were a little unclear, dry and painful: "Let him lie here first, and I will try to massage his muscles to see if it can relieve his pain."

He wanted to take his right hand out of Xue Dan's palm, but Xue Dan held it tightly and couldn't break free.

Lucas gently pressed Xue Dan's right forearm with his left hand, guiding him to relax the muscles slowly, and then drew out his right hand.

Xue Dan muttered something unhappy, and Lucas guessed he was cursing.

Lukas held Xue Dan's wrist with his right hand, identified the acupuncture points with his left hand, pressed hard with his fingers, and rubbed along the tendons.

He did this several times, and Xue Dan's body seemed to relax a bit, and his right hand no longer struggled to get out of Lucas's control.

While relaxing his muscles, Lucas cursed Xue Dan in his heart for being ill.He remembered that recently Xue Dan seemed to pinch his right arm suddenly, and a few times he stopped halfway while talking——

Good guy, I guess this kid has had this problem for a long time, why didn't he tell a doctor about it?Is it so brave that you don't want to live anymore?

Although it is true that Lucas can't solve this problem for a while-but Xue Dan's madness cannot be cured in a day, what disease can't be studied slowly, is he really helpless?

How did he rehabilitate him?If he doesn't have any professionalism, can he recover in three years?

What a fucking problem.

Lucas suddenly remembered that during that time, he seemed to always mention the cat hall to Xue Dan.

Did Xue Dan think that he was anxious to overthrow Anna II?Or does he think that this kind of minor illness can get better by himself?

Lucas thought about it for a while, and finally cursed in his heart, thinking, what the hell, patients who hide their symptoms have brain problems, no matter what the reason is.He has practiced medicine for many years, and what he hates the most is patients who do not cooperate with treatment.

Lucas thought so, but the strength of his hands was just right, neither too heavy nor too light.

But it wasn't the constant spasms in his right arm that trapped Xue Dan.He closed his eyes, his whole body was tense, and in a state of confusion, he only felt a suffocated air churning in his chest, and the smell of rust was repelled desperately, and all the nerves in his body were pulled by that air. , only the right arm seemed to have a warm current surging.

Then the hands that were pressing on his right arm suddenly shifted their positions, and tentatively touched his chest that was strewn with breath.

Xue Dan's subconscious clamored, hoping that these hands could solve the source of his pain for him.

The author says:

——I remembered the happiness when my mother gave me a massage——

37、Tenderness

The neatly trimmed four fingers softly but firmly pressed Xue Dan's chest, stayed for about two or three seconds, and then slowly moved down.

A muffled groan shook from Xue Dan's throat...

The neatly trimmed four fingers softly but firmly pressed Xue Dan's chest, stayed for about two or three seconds, and then slowly moved down.

A muffled groan came out of Xue Dan's throat shortly, and his right arm grabbed forward, reaching Lucas' knee, and clasped his five fingers tightly.

Just in case, Lucas softly called Mayon on the side: "If he struggles in a while, you guys must hold him down."

May Ang nodded, and immediately knelt down beside Lucas, staring intently at Lucas's hands on Xue Dan's chest.

There was more cold sweat on Xue Dan's forehead, his breathing was like a suppressed bellows, twitching unevenly and rapidly, and the muscle lines of his body were faintly visible under the coat due to excessive force.

With the strength of the fingers on the chest, the swelling air gradually deflated, and was forced into the ends of Xue Dan's limbs reluctantly, and seemed to flow away slowly from the palms and soles of the feet.

There was still half of the breath left in his chest, but no matter how his hands moved, he refused to move a single bit.

But after all, it died down, shrunk its chaotic branches, and temporarily disappeared.

Xue Dan's nerves then relaxed.

The hands didn't leave, but moved from his chest to his abdomen, rotating and pressing slowly.

Xue Dan didn't open his eyes, he only felt that his consciousness was getting more and more dizzy, and the nightmares and depressions that had always plagued him for three years slipped away from his mind quietly.

When those hands moved to the outside of his calf, Xue Dan's breathing finally calmed down, and he fell into a deep, peaceful, and exhausted sleep.

Lucas didn't make a sound. He felt the obviously quiet blood vessels under his hands, and he still stroked the acupuncture points on the outside of Xue Dan's calf in a leisurely manner.

After a round of massage on the outside of his calf, he whispered to Kajima: "Let him rest here for a while, you are busy with your work."

Kajima was worried, and took away the cold towel from Xue Dan's head, and asked softly, "Brother Qin Ji, is he completely healed? What's going on?" The revolutionaries cast concerned eyes one after another.

Lucas smiled bitterly: "It's not good, but take your time, it can always be cured, don't worry."

Kajima frowned, looking down at Xue Dan worriedly.

Mayon pulled up Kajima who was still kneeling: "Okay, we can't help if we surround here, leave one or two comrades here to watch, if there is something to help, it will be fine, otherwise it will be in the way. "

Kajima stood up and sighed deeply: "Brother Qin Ji is sick..." She was halfway through speaking, but she didn't know what to say, and her voice gradually dropped to silence.

The revolutionaries got up one by one, leaving only the two boys sitting where they were.

Mayon pulled Kajima away and complained to her in a low voice: "Can you help me with this disease? Don't worry, you haven't taken care of your own body well."

She looked at Kajima's bent neck and pursed her lips.Kajima has been a worrying life in this life, and she has suffered too much.

Kajima smiled: "I'm not worried, I'm just thinking, there is an old man in Brother Qin Ji's family, and I don't think Mr. Alex's eyes are quite right."

As she talked, she rubbed the center of her brows, "Forget it, at this time, I don't think so much anymore, let's take one step at a time."

Xue Dan fell asleep for a long time.

He suddenly heard the sound of birdsong, turned around quietly from nowhere, gave a short cry, remained silent for a while, and then stretched his neck and chirped softly.

The wind blew through the lush leaves, rattling to the tune of birdsong.There was no sound in the room at all, and the sound of wind and birds was gently sent to Xue Dan's ears.

What kind of place is this?Xue Dan opened his eyes in a daze.

The sky is still not very bright, and the early morning haze is lingering among the leaves outside the window. On the edge of the wooden bed, the half-length hair spreads out in front of the eyes, and the high and straight bridge of the nose appears in front of the eyes like a mountain range in the unclear morning.

At the end of the mountain range are two closed green puddles, and the eyelids are covered with soft fluff by the still-unclear sky.

What kind of place is this?

There was a map spread out on the big wooden table on the left, and the wooden floor on the second floor of the cat hall was gently spread under his bed.

On the right-hand side, a small slit was opened in the window, through which the refreshing breeze slipped in, and the ragged leaves of the window blocked the sunlight that had not yet penetrated.

He was paralyzed on the bed with all four limbs relaxed, and the cool air directly entered his clean lungs, as if washing his whole body.Following the breathing rhythm of his body, Xue Dan slowly revived his consciousness and muscles.

He suddenly felt the tentacles of iron in all directions.

Xue Dan has not felt this familiar touch for three years.He lay on his back on the bed as if dreaming, looking at the wooden ceiling, a strong and deep but not intense emotion was rushing in his heart.He didn't quite understand what kind of emotion it was, he just felt that he was willing to immerse himself in it all the time.

"Xue Dan?"

A dream-like call came from the right ear. The low voice had the magnetism of just waking up. In the silent morning, it was as clear and distant as a falcon in the sky, "Are you awake?"

Xue Dan turned his face sideways.

The half-opened green eyes stared at his eyes unconsciously, and the dry pink lips almost didn't bother to open: "How do you feel, are you still uncomfortable?"

Xue Dan smiled involuntarily. He watched Lucas quietly, and the first sentence after waking up was a little hoarse: "It's not uncomfortable anymore."

Lucas swallowed the sticky liquid in his throat, closed his eyes, calmed down, and opened them again.

Xue Dan was still looking at him, his sword eyebrows, black eyes and thin bridge of nose were particularly deep.

Lucas saw him smiling, and the corners of his eyes curled up a little quietly, like warm stones by the edge of a deep pool.

A strong, deep, but not intense emotion surged through Lucas.He knew what it was, so he stretched out his arm from under the quilt, put his arms around Xue Dan's healthy and strong shoulders, and didn't smile: "Well, it's okay if it's not uncomfortable. You will probably be cured for a few years after this disease."

Xue Dan looked at Lucas for a while, leaned towards him, put his broad forehead on Lucas's cool forehead which was covered by a small piece of hair, and put his arms around Lucas's back.

The tip of his nose touched Lucas's, and the eyelashes seemed to touch his skin.

Xue Dan's eyes felt a little hot.He didn't quite understand why.

Lucas tilted his head upwards, rubbed his lips against Xue Dan's tightly closed mouth, touched slightly, and stopped there motionless.

This is the first time the two of them have been so tender.Lucas had great hope in his heart, but also a little melancholy.

He knew in his mind that his flamboyant youth had passed, and he would never ignore his body and regard madness and blood sweat as the normal state of life;

But from now on, he will always have a root in his heart, and he will no longer be reckless and ruthless, disregarding human life, and be his king of Hades.

Xue Dan didn't understand, Xue Dan had never tasted the taste of his family.But he never had the feeling of wanting to cry: there was no trace of sadness in his heart, but it still seemed to be held by something.He felt like he had lost something, but there was something else waiting for him ahead.

Xue Dan swallowed, held back his tears, closed his eyes slightly, and murmured to Lucas: "What will happen in the future?"

Lucas smiled.Boy, this isn't like you.Others are willing to fight hard when they are almost middle-aged, but instead they become juniors who think about the future: "In the future, I will do whatever I want, and what I have is always as much as what I have lost."

Xue Dan laughed at him softly: "Talk to you, it's like being educated, old Chinese medicine practitioner."

Lucas pretended to be helpless: "No way, from my point of view, you are indeed not as experienced as I am, and you are not as transparent as I am."

Xue Dan was not convinced: "You have only seen it clearly in the past three years?" He was surprised, since Lucas sat on the Iron Tide and confessed his love to him three years ago, how did he feel that he and Lucas His conversation, always he is at a disadvantage?

Lucas said nothing.He himself didn't think very clearly whether it was You Yao, Xue Dan, or the entire Southeast Alliance that gave him a little boost on his growth path.

But he never felt that his changes were drastic. He has always acted and reflected. He is very clear about what he wants and what goals he expects to achieve, and he has always been able to accept all his desires and moods calmly.

Definitely not trying to be transparent in the past three years.But Xue Dan... Lucas moved his lips, feeling the warmth and tenacity of the other party.

These three years have definitely been a huge growth for Xue Dan.Physically disabled, his hometown was destroyed in two days, the mainland is getting more and more difficult, and he is suffering from illness recently. Xue Dan has never been subjected to such a dull and dull soft knife.

Lucas stroked Xue Dan's spine from top to bottom, and teased softly: "You look like a bamboo joint."

He pointed upwards and slowly introduced to Xue Dan, "This is your cervical spine... This is your thoracic spine. This is your lumbar spine."

"This is the sacrum, and then the coccyx." Lucas's deep voice was soft in the early morning silence.

On a whim, Xue Dan took Lucas's hand on his back, put it on his ribs, and said, "This is my rib."

Lucas laughed out loud: "Pork ribs?"

Xue Dan felt a little childish, let go of his hand, and said, "Xue Rib."

Unexpectedly, Lucas laughed louder. He covered his eyes with the other hand, closed his mouth tightly, his body was shaking, and he laughed intermittently.

Xue Dan turned over and stared at him. After staring for a while, he wanted to laugh too, so he simply took off Lucas' hand covering his eyes and said, "Stop laughing, how many days have I been asleep?"

Lucas was still shaking with laughter, and he gestured to Xue Dan: "One day and one night, this is the next morning."

Seeing that Lucas was still laughing hard, Xue Dan had no choice but to lie back on the pillow and let Lucas laugh beside him.

He yawned, rubbing his feet under the bed with a blank mind, and suddenly remembered the intelligence problem that Sewag mentioned the night before, so he turned his head and asked Lucas: "Didn't you say last night that you should try your best to find Southeast Have you found any news about the immigration?"

The author says:

Everyone has ribs—

38. Shanhai Cave

Lucas smiled slightly, and replied: "You haven't been able to contact them for so many years, how could you find out the news in one day." He traced it casually with his eyes...

Lucas smiled slightly, and replied: "You haven't been able to contact them for so many years, how could you find out the news in one day."

He traced Xue Dan's profile at random with his eyes, "At the beginning, I carried you behind my back, and it took me more than two months to walk out of the Great Desert of Getati."

"The other people in the Southeast Alliance don't know if their bodies have been buried in the yellow sand." Lucas didn't dare to look at Xue Dan, "You know it in your heart all these years, otherwise why didn't you go find them?"

Xue Dan pursed his lips tightly.Lucas was right.He was afraid, afraid that the last of the Southeastern Confederate immigrants would not be found.

"Even if you walk out from Tati and go east to the Republic of Dawn, I'm afraid that it will just catch up with the pan-iron tide of the Republic of Dawn, and there is a high possibility that it will perish along with the Republic of Dawn." Lucas's voice softened. , but the words are still sharp.

"Going west to the Kamo Empire, you have to cross the Great Caucasus Mountains. From ancient times to the present, how many people can survive to cross the Great Caucasus in the northern part of Tati?" Lucas said, "The only way to survive is to go north into the dawn Republic, and then immediately head west, turning into the Kamo Empire from the northern end of the Great Caucasus."

"If they're lucky, they might meet people from the Republic of Dawn who migrated westward, mix with them, and hide in the Kamo Empire together."

Lucas spit out a strand of hair that was blown into his mouth, "Such a route that requires foresight and luck—how many southeastern immigrants can escape from Ascension?"

Xue Dan sighed in his heart: "I understand."

There was a moment of silence between the two.

Xue Dan let his thoughts diverge aimlessly.

The young revolutionaries plan to stay still for the time being, expand their active force first, collect patrol schedules and maps of the palace near the palace, and wait for the opportunity to rise up again.

This choice is very correct.Xue Dan thought, their strength is very weak, if they revolt rashly, the end can only be failure.

Although Anna II's crazy rule has made it more and more difficult for people to fight against the Iron Man's aggression, the uprising must not be rushed.

Lucas beside Xue Dan watched his profile.

It was still a young face, with firm skin and a defined jawline, but there was a profound stillness in the one black eye that was exposed to Lucas.

A pink-brown scar ran from behind the ear to the depth of the neck, buried in the hard collarbone, as if engraved with blood and savage carvings.

He was observing it intently, and the sound of pounding footsteps came directly to his ears from the wooden spiral staircase.

Lucas' eyes passed over Xue Dan's head and fell to the stairs.

In just two seconds, Sewag appeared there. His cheeks were flushed, his blue eyes were extremely bright, his golden hair was frantically blown aside, and his whole body was filled with excitement.

When he saw Lucas and Xue Dan looking at him together, the upturned corners of his mouth stopped and slowly flattened.

He hesitated and felt that he seemed to be disturbing something, but he couldn't figure out why, so he scratched his head and continued excitedly: "Brother Qin! A revolutionist in Sengerli District has sent news that he has The whereabouts of suspected immigrants from the southeast!"

Xue Dan crunched his stomach and bounced off the bed quickly.He stomped his bare feet on the floor, almost speechless in the surge of surprise.

Lucas also got out of bed and put on his hard leather boots. He patted Xue Dan on the shoulder and said calmly, "Let's set off now and try to bring back as many infected people as possible from the Southeastern Alliance. These are the rare vitality of the revolution."

A piece of black cloth was hung hastily on the iron door frame, dancing wildly with the wind blowing up from below the Sengulli Grand Canyon, and the irregular corners slapped the corner of the door frame, whipping out hunting drums.

A thick black hand grabbed the black cloth from the inside and pushed it away.

The lifted corner reveals a stream of black water and a corner of white mountains.

A person came out from behind the black cloth.He had the face of an Aring Mountain man, and the beard on his chin was tangled in a mess, which almost buried his chapped lips.There were deep wrinkles on his forehead, and his temples were already graying.

With a straight body and strong legs and feet, he walked a few steps to the top of the Sengulli Grand Canyon at the door, with his legs crossed, squatted down, put his arms on his knees, and stared blankly at the phosphorescent Tieyuan to the south.

The hot mid-afternoon wind blew his messy hair back.The wind was mixed with sand and stones, making him have to squint his dark eyes.He just looked south, squatting motionless on the Grand Canyon.

He squatted for nearly half an hour when someone came up behind him and stood still.

He still didn't look back, pursed his lips, and coughed a mouthful of phlegm into the Grand Canyon.

"Uncle, what are you looking at while squatting here every day?"

The person behind him spoke with a bit of Yaling's accent that was infected by him, and he spoke in a smooth voice, which didn't go against harmony.

He shook his head, pursing his lips and shaving his teeth.

The people behind continued: "Uncle, we can't go back no matter what. It's been three years. You are all entangled in this and refuse to live with the Kamo people. What have you got in the end?"

The uncle said sullenly: "It's not about this."

"We people from the Southeast Alliance come here like bumpkins, how can we live with their civilized people?"

The uncle picked up some clods from the Grand Canyon with his fingers, "None of our General Xue, nor your King Elo and the High Priest know where they are. Life in the Southeast Alliance is like a dream."

"I still don't understand what happened." The uncle flicked his fingers, and threw the dust in his palm into the wide canyon buried by the iron tide, "You are young, you can't feel it, let me tell you You can't understand it after three years."

When the boy heard what he said, he couldn't help feeling angry. He took half a step forward and knelt down beside the uncle: "How do you know I don't understand if you don't tell me? It's just to make excuses for not wanting to talk."

The uncle curled his lips snortingly: "Yes, I don't want to say it."

The young man heard that the uncle was perfunctory him, and was very dissatisfied. He patted the sand on his knees, hiding his emotions and said, "Don't you just miss the life in the Southeastern Union? I grew up in the southeast of the Southeastern Union. No emotion?"

"But the ten of us can't live in isolation like this all the time. I made a few young friends in Sengerli District today. They are very ambitious and don't look down on us." The young man said angrily, "It's not that civilized life rejects you, It’s that you don’t dare to set foot in the so-called civilized life at all!”

The uncle was still picking his teeth with his lips pursed, and the young man was so eager to go up and help him pick his teeth: "Why don't you talk?"

The uncle was amused by his eagerness, and he was afraid that laughing out loud would make the young man lose his temper, so he continued to pouted his lips and pretended to be picking his teeth, and said flatly: "Well, what you said makes sense."

A wave of anger rushed into the boy's mind, he told himself to calm down, took several deep breaths, and then said as calmly as possible: "I told those friends that I am an immigrant from the Ero Sea area. "

The uncle stood up abruptly and grabbed the boy's collar: "You told them that you are from Erohai?"

Not to be outdone, the young man stared back: "Why, why don't you let me say it?"

The uncle gritted his teeth tightly, and the occlusal muscles on both sides of his cheeks protruded visibly. He seemed to be trying his best to suppress his anger.

The boy's momentum weakened a lot, he swallowed his saliva, and moved his eyes a little nervously.

He is not afraid of other people being angry, but he is inexplicably afraid of Uncle Li Jiu being angry.

In the boy's mind, it took a long time before Uncle Li Jiu let go of his collar and strode into the iron house.

He exhaled lightly, and the corners of his lips could not help but rise.

Uncle Li Jiu didn't scold him face to face, which meant that he acquiesced to his actions, and as long as Uncle Li Jiu was persuaded, other people would generally not criticize him any more.

The boy wandered around the Grand Canyon for two more times before walking briskly back to the iron house.

Li Jiu is most worried about people with ulterior motives coming to seek immigrants from the Southeast Alliance——

The Southeast Alliance is too mysterious to the rest of the mainland. They inevitably have high psychological expectations for the immigrants from the Southeast Alliance. If there is any revolution or rebellion in the Kamo Empire, they will never let go of the opportunity to win over the immigrants from the Southeast Alliance.

In addition, the royal family of the Kamo Empire only agreed to allow the immigrants from the Republic of Dawn to enter the country. Anna II did not open the door to let the immigrants from the Southeast Alliance. When the time comes, she will directly send someone to kill Li Jiu. Li Jiu will not be too surprised.

That's a crazy woman.

He told the immigrants in Shanhai Cave what Tang Xiaopu had done that night. They waited for Tang Xiaopu to come back, taught him a lesson collectively, and told him that he must never be so reckless in the future.

Tang Xiaopu answered with a listless answer that night, and ran to Li Jiu's bed in the middle of the night to cry.

Li Jiu listened in a daze, and heard Tang Xiaopu mention the cat hall while half asleep.

The word passed in his mind for a while, without leaving any impression, and was overwhelmed by sleepiness.

Li Jiu's worries became reality.

A week after Townshop revealed his immigration status, two travelers visited the small iron house next to the Grand Canyon.

The two of them actually claimed to be immigrants from the southeast, and one of them was indeed the face of Yaling Mountain.

The ten southeast immigrants in Shanhai Cave warmly entertained them and told a lot about the old things of the Southeast Alliance. During dinner, one of them, an Erohi man named Alex, finally said what Li Jiu had been waiting for: "Anna II's current rule is not like the Southeastern Alliance back then. It simply makes it impossible for the people to survive."

Tang Xiaopu responded excitedly: "Yes, I heard from my friends that Anna II is a crazy woman who exploits the people and forbids them to use iron without permission!"

Alex sighed: "It's okay if it's just this, but she refuses to allocate supplies to the soldiers guarding the stone base according to the agreed amount. Now the defense battle on the stone base is getting more and more difficult."

Tang Xiaopu was puzzled: "But once the stone barrier is broken, the entire Kamo Empire will be dead, and Anna II will be no exception."

Alex's green eyes contained obvious hatred: "We can't judge Anna II with common sense. She has never cared about her own life and death, so she doesn't care about the life and death of the empire and mankind."

Tong Xiaopu opened his mouth wide: "Let this kind of people rule - the decision makers of the Kamo Empire must also be crazy."

Li Jiu couldn't see the details of this Alex, so he turned to another male compatriot who claimed to be Qin Ji.

This Qin Ji leaned casually on the stone table, his black eyes drooping slightly, he was wearing ordinary clothes, but there was a rope tied around his waist, on which were two iron knives.

Qin Ji was sensitively aware of Li Jiu's gaze, and saw that he was looking at his knife, so he poked it with two fingers and smiled.
