Neighbors in forbidden land

"Ah! I really want to live here!" After Wu Shao yelled, he let his body fall backwards and fell in the shape of a "big" on the wooden floor of the cabin, humming and chirping from time to time.

Now we have moved most of the things in the cave in the stronghold to this room on this ship, except for the boxes containing potatoes and green apples, even the toolbox and Yimi’s simple "bed" made of vines. They moved here together, because Yimi said it would be much more comfortable to live here.

"It seems...you are having a bad time over there." Yimi looked at Wu Shao rolling left and right on the floor, and smiled slightly, "What happened?"

"Isn't it because of the torrential rain the day before yesterday! Ah...we kept digging drainage ditches under the torrential rain. Your Highness Yimi, do you know the feeling of digging more and more water after digging hard?" Wu Wu Shao tremblingly stretched out his hands before his eyes, and looked around the four of us with despairing eyes, "Even though the body is already soaked, I still keep digging, digging, digging! Ah...the ones that didn't get a firm grip under the heavy rain The tents are all gone... so we spent all day yesterday trying to fix the camp..."

Wu Shao seemed to be counting on his fingers in pain: "Gutters, shower tents, tarpaulins, clothes...everything that should be wet is soaked, raincloths are okay...but what clothes Something... just changed, the only good news is that I didn't get sick from all the rain."

That's why Wu Shao didn't wear the clothes he usually wears today. It's just a simple white top and tan trousers. Without the armor for self-defense, he didn't bring anything except a sword and a small bag. other things.

"The day before yesterday...the rain was really heavy." Yimi tapped her lips lightly with her fingers, as if recalling something.

"How is your Highness Yimi?" Wu Shao sighed heavily and slowly got up from the ground.

"What do you think?" Yimi smiled and raised her finger to Xiao Gu and Lan Xue beside her, "It's the first time since I came here that I can't see the rain when it's raining."

"Hey!" After Xiao Gu smiled, he threw himself on Yimi's body.

"Ah! I knew it! I really want to live here!" Wu Shao yelled again and then fell down again.

"Can't you come?" I tried to ask.

"It's impossible for me to stay here all the time. After all, the name of coming here is to explore, and I have to accompany Li Le to interpret those words at night. It's impossible to stay here..." Wu Shao raised his forearm Covering his eyes, "The environment here is really bad... Until now we are still eating the food in reserve..."

"Isn't it possible to catch fish and find that kelp?" Yimi ate these when there were no potatoes.

"Speaking of this..." Wu Shao exerted all his strength, directly propped up his upper body, and stared straight at Xiao Gu, "Sister Xiao Gu... the fish and kelp you found for His Highness Yimi... ...where did you find them all?"

"Haili!" After Xiao Gu raised his hand and shouted, Wu Shao patted his forehead hard, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly:

"I know it's in the sea... The question is where in the sea? We tried to find it, but it's very rare to find some scattered kelp... It's not enough to eat..."

This question... I also really want to know.

The last time I went into the sea with Xiao Gu, the result was that I couldn't find anything at all, and Xiao Gu can always find a lot of things.

"Hmm..." Xiaogu put his finger on his chin like Yimi, turned his head twice in distress, and replied with a smile: "Is it the sea?"

"..." Wu Shao's expression froze.

"Even we can't reason with this ancient loach, do you want to reason with her, a mere human?" Lan Xue, who was standing aside, smiled mockingly, but was thrown to the ground by Xiao Gu again , Writhing into a ball on the wooden floor in an instant.

"It's no wonder this is a taboo place...Even if alchemy can solve the water problem, food and shelter will eventually become bigger problems..." Wu Shao said and fell back on the floor, "Every day progress Weiwei... I don't know when I can go back..."

"How about you tell the truth directly?" Yimi said blankly, "Just tell your team leader that I don't want to go back, and tell them to go home as soon as possible."

"It will be a lot of trouble to say it directly... Besides, how could they simply listen to me? The team leader wants to see what Calamity looks like. Li Le is obsessed with those words every day, and the others are just here to mess around All of them have various incomprehensible purposes..." Wu Shao said, covering his face with the back of his hand, "Some people still want to see you, Your Highness Yimi."

I want to see what Calamity looks like... How can there be such a human being... After so many days, the human race has become strange...

"See me?" Yimi just pointed to her face in doubt.

"Yes, the eldest sister said that she wanted to ask His Highness Yimi, didn't you already make up for it, so why did you give up your identity and come to this kind of place?"

"..." As a result, Yimi fell silent.

"There is another bard who wants to know your story, Your Highness Yimi, and then weave a beautiful story to spread around..."

For a moment, only the sound of Lan Xue and Xiao Gu's fighting filled the room, and the simple sunlight fell in through the hole deliberately left on the ship's wall, leaving little drops on Yimi's black dress, It's not like the light piercing the darkness, it's more like the starlight shining in the night sky.

"What nonsense..." Finally, Yimi suddenly said this.

Hearing this sentence, Wu Shao got up from the floor and sat down in an instant, but looked at Yimi as if he didn't know what to say.

Lan Xue and Xiao Gu also stopped fighting, and kept lying on the floor pinching each other's arms and legs, and both turned their heads to look at Yimi.

"I came to this kind of place for such a reason... Do you know that I—" Yimi clenched her fists as if she wanted to say something, but she stopped.

I hurriedly moved to sit next to her, and I could feel her tense body slowly relax, and the small fist that was trembling due to too much force slowly loosened, and slid down to her thigh again .The eyes of the four of us were all on Yimi, but Yimi didn't do anything else, but let out a long breath of relief.

If Yimi has gaze, then she must be looking into the distance at this moment.

"Forget it." After a long time, Yimi just exhaled lightly, straightened her sleeves, then raised her hand to fumble, and I handed over my head.

Yimi gently stroked my head, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth again.

"After all, it was my fault first..."

For a moment, I seemed to see Yimi who was trembling cautiously when I first came here.

It is on this golden beach that the fragile figure like a leaf flutters in the sea.

From the day I fished out Yimi, both mine and Yimi's life have changed, and they have all been changed by the other party.

"Yimi, you are not wrong." I leaned my head on her shoulder and said forcefully.

"Okay, okay, why did I bring the topic to this again..." Yimi raised her hand and continued to stroke my head, while I silently accepted the slight kindness, "In short... without your There is no help today..."

"Where is it... I think Your Highness Yimi is already very powerful, really."

"Oh! Let's play in the sea!"

"Ancient loach, can you keep quiet and not make trouble?"

Perhaps, it is true.

Without you, there would be no today.

————————————————————————————————————————

So, the next period of time was fairly stable, we planted potatoes as usual, this time the potatoes grew up normally, watching the green plants and small white flowers reappear under the light of the little fairy, with the help of Xiaogu Watering has become a very convenient thing.

But Yimi still picked up those flowers casually... This time, all the flowers were placed on Xiao Gu's head.

It's just that we didn't expect that the tree species planted by the lake grew up. Although one tree was trampled to death last time, the other seedlings were surprisingly tough, and they still browned themselves under such an environment. The shoots are getting higher and higher, but they don't grow leaves easily like potato plants. Most of the shoots are still bare, and only a few branches have tiny buds.

But it seems that even Wu Shao can't tell what kind of plant it is. According to her, she is not a professional, and there is no way to judge these seedlings before they grow.

So, Yimi started to help Xiaogu weave a set of clothes. Although we didn't have much to do and our life was fairly smooth, there were always some small problems popping up from the corners.

For example... Wu Shao and that human named Liyue stand there every night, so I can't write a diary...

"I'm suddenly curious about how many things you brought here... haven't you finished eating yet?" Yimi, who was biting the grilled fish lightly, asked Wu Shao, who was biting into the grilled fish, and the grilled fish in Wu Shao's mouth Before he finished swallowing, he opened his mouth: "Well...Actually, we have taken a boat back to change people, because some people don't want to do it anymore, but there are still people who want to come here, so when exchanging supplies like this, by the way Just change people."

"How long are you going to stay?" Yimi picked out a fishbone with her hand, and then handed the fish to my mouth.

I also took a small bite and watched Yimi pick up another grilled fish to feed the expectant little Gu.

"I don't know... Li Le seems to have deciphered a lot of words. I heard from her that she got the affirmation and support of the palace after sending the results back, but every day she ran out to find disasters with great interest but always returned without success." The team leader has no intention of giving up at all..." Wu Shao sighed lightly and held the whole fish skeleton in his mouth, "As long as these two people don't give up, it probably won't end..."

"Is that so?" Yimi asked casually, "Then what did you decipher those so-called words?"

Yimi's words froze my movements, and I had to listen carefully to their conversation.

"It seems to say that the world was burned, the time is wrong, and there are some ice crystals in the extreme north... I don't know if it is a problem of interpretation. Li Le said that there are many repetitive words on it, and the logic is a bit strange... It feels like Whose record is it, anyway, it still needs to be sorted out..."

"What on earth is this..." Yimi showed a very disapproving expression, "But wasn't the land here before full of people? Maybe it's written by those people, so maybe it's not certain?"

"Maybe……"

They may not understand, but I do, and more than that.

Lan Xue also understood.

"That guy probably wrote it..." Lan Xue, who swallowed the fish whole, spat out the words, "I really didn't expect that she could write such inexplicable things..."

"That guy?" Wu Shao asked in confusion.

"Who else..." Lan Xue grabbed a handful of sand, and the grains of sand froze into ice crystals in her hands, which were then crushed by her and turned into little flashes of light, which fell from between her fingers.

"Aren't you humans always looking for? That big black guy, Calamity."

At this moment, it seemed that the sea breeze had stopped.

"Miss Lan Xue, what did you just say?" Wu Shao asked in disbelief.

"I won't say it twice, who else can have anyone besides that guy? Are they all dead?" Lan Xue stood up, the sand on her body turned into blue ice crystals and fell, and her quilt was blue. The body covered with scales was spotless. "Today I will go back first. This time the fish is alright."

So, under our watchful eyes, Lan Xue flapped her small wings and left.

"I always feel as if I know something important..." Wu Shao covered his face with his hands.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Gu turned his eyes away from Lan Xue who was far away, and looked at us with a confused face.

I looked at Yimi, she was just quietly biting the grilled fish in her hand, expressionless.

————————————————————————————————————————— According to Yimi, today is probably the potato harvest It's the day when Xiao Gu finally has clothes to wear.

But Yimi seemed to spend a lot of time helping Xiaogu put on her clothes... Standing outside the cave and being unable to help, I could always hear laughter and strange voices coming from the cave.

When they came out, I saw Yimi with a tired face and Xiao Gu with an excited face.

Xiao Gu was wearing a gray dress that looked similar to Yimi. The scales on her body showed a light blue-gray under the gray dress, and the skirt on the lower body was trimmed to be looser. On the surface of Xiao Gu's "skirt" composed of silver-white scales.

"How is it?" Yimi asked me with a wry smile.

"okay."

"I have it too!" Xiao Gu said and hugged Yimi, and Yimi smiled and supported Xiao Gu who was almost unsteady.

"Let's go, collect the potatoes."

"it is good."

"yeah!"

"I don't understand what there is to be happy about..." Lan Xue just looked at the three of us as usual.

"Shall I do one for you?"

"I don't need it!"

In this way, we came to the experimental field.

So, we saw the mess all over the place in the dark cave for some reason.

Neither the potato plants nor the potatoes were gone, only the remnants of broken leaves buried in the messy footprints in the dirt.
