People who are at Yuan Bing's age don't know their detailed date of birth, and he's not as number sensitive as Yuan Zhan, but according to the previous generation, he's about two or three years older than Yuan Zhan.
So he should be thirty-two or thirty three now?
If this was in the past, he could be a grandfather at this age, but now he is still single. After many acquaintances around him have been married and have children, his singleness becomes more and more prominent. Even Yuan Zhan, who has always been against him, said something of a "care" to him.
Hold it! It's just that Mo and he chatted alone for two more words on New Year's Day.
Yuan Bing hates Yuan Zhan's jealous without a thought very much, and doesn't know why their priest Da-Ren likes such a guy.
If he had picked up Witch Mo first……
Yuan Bing took a deep breath of the icy cold air, pats his body and moved forward, and doesn't think about such unrealistic things.
“Where are you going to fly?" Zidian, who signed a partnership agreement with him, turned to him.
Yuan Bing was considering.
"This is the territory of the Ding Yue tribe. Although our superficial relationship with them is OK in recent years, there are many conflicts. Are you not afraid to be taken hostage by them when you come here alone? The leader is not pleased with you already. Well, he will not pay ransom for you. Maybe he will let you die in the Ding Yue."
"Do you want to go anywhere?" Yuan Bing interrupted his partner's delusion of murder.
Zidian rolled his eyes, “You have decided to run out in the winter, are you crazy?"
Yuan Bing is used to his partner’s trashy mouth. When he hears it, he just looks at the distance to figure out which way to go.
Zidian muttered discontentedly. "If you don't take a good vacation in the house, you just had to come out and find fault with me. No wonder no one looks at you pleasantly. You deserve to be single all your life!"
“You can go back."
In a word, Zidian suddenly shut up. Yuan Bing is single but he doesn't want to find anyone, but he…… When Zidian thought of his courtship experience, he could not help but feel sad. He accidentally fell in love with a Human-face Kunpeng. As a result, even if Kunpeng could not give him a second look, he also attracted a lot of ridicule from his peers. Only when he couldn't stand the ridicule from his peers would he agree to go out with Yuan Bing in winter to find something to do.
Alas, Zidian lamented. He knew he was ugly, and the purple spots on his face, looked like lightning, split his face in two. For human beings, maybe his special appearance is very recognizable, but for the British recruit, he is just the extreme representative of the ugliness.
Although he is a little ugly, he is very strong. His flying ability and attack ability are very strong. His courtship journey should not be so bad, but somehow, his peers just can't give even a second look. Even the ugliest female Yingzhao gave him a fierce claw, which lead him to despair finding a mate in the same race and started to develop outside the race Oh, forget it, it's all going to end in tears!
"Go west." Yuan Bing makes the final decision.
"To the west?"
"Mo said that in the past two years, we will build a road to the Half-Beast tribe. We can go to the Half-Beast tribe and explore the way by the way."
Zidian rolled his eyes again. "Someone is doing the road finding business. You don't need to do anything else, OK? If you pat priest Da-Ren like on the horse's ass again, he won't mate with you. "
After satirizing, Zidian muttered, “Why do you have to pat the horse's ass and our Yingzhao don’t like being patted on the ass? It's a strange statement."
Yuan Bing looked at his partner without expression. "Do you know why you haven't succeeded in courtship so far?"
"Ah? Why? "
"Because your mouth is too trashy."
Zidian was furious, and the ground area of his claws was snowing, “You are so trashy! Your family is trashy!"
“When you go to college, you only learn to scold and ridicule people?" Yuan Bing sat steadily on Zidian's body. No matter how violent he is, there is no sense of embarrassment.
"Did you say that about your partner?! Say my mouth is trashy, your mouth is not so good! Even if I can't find a spouse, you never want to find one! You will sleep alone and eat alone forever! Wait till you are old and you also can only wait and slowly die alone! You poor wretch, get off me! You'd better freeze to death in the snow! "
Yuan Bing jumped from Zidian with a bow and arrow on his back, fell on the thick snow, and walked forward with his feet raised.
Zidian looked at the man who really came down from him.
"Crunching." Seeing Yuan Bing go to the West step by step without looking back, Zidian was so angry that he turned his head to the other direction.
The Ding Yue tribe occupies a large area, which is as cold as the border of the north.
Yuan Bing walked and rested in the snow for two days, and finally saw the shadow of human buildings in the evening.
It's a small fort imitating the border town of Jiu Yuan.
Since the Jiu Yuan built cities in various border areas as the first line of defense against foreign enemies and trade, transfer stations, other big forces in the eastern continent have also learned to do the same. The Ding Yuan has always paid the most attention to the development of the Jiu Yuan. As long as there is something new and good about the Jiu Yuan, they will try their best to imitate it, no matter whether they can understand it or not doesn’t matter.
The reason why Yuan Bing called this border town "fort" instead of "city" is that it was built in a rough way and on a small scale. A stone tablet was erected at the gate of the fort, on which the words "Godblood city" were carved in the Ding Yue and the Jiu Yuan language.
Godblood city? What a mouthful!
\r \r \r
Yuan Bing took a prepared package from the storage Bone Bracelet and slowly walked to the city gate.
The gate was closed tightly, and nearby people gathered under the wall to warm around the fire.
Yuan Bing's eyes turned around and he headed for the biggest fire.
"Are you from nearby? Are you rushing to town? You are a step too late. The gate is closed. We have to wait for tomorrow morning." A merchant kept rubbing his hands as he roasted beside the fire gave up a place and spoke kindly to him.
Yuan Bing's right fist light points his chest to thank him for a warrior salute.
“Are you a hunter or the warrior who comes out to practice?” The other side swept around him, and his eyes fell on his bow and his burden.
"The latter."
"Well, I say, who will run around in the wild alone in such a cold day? Just now you were seen from afar and I guessed your identity. You are one of the Ding Yue?" Middle aged merchants are talkative and enthusiastic.
"No, I'm from the Mucheng-Forest city."
"The Mucheng-Forest city, that's a good place. It's not so cold in winter……"
The middle-aged merchant talked with Yuan Bing for a while. After Yuan Bing took a bag of precious red salt from the bag and shared it with them for barbecue, the generous warrior was immediately accepted by the merchant group.
Yuan Bing doesn't speak much, but every time, he just threw out a new topic before the merchants want to ask him the details, which leads the merchants to talk a lot and talk with him a lot.
Soon Yuan Bing learned some of the information he wanted to know.
For example, the reason why this border city is called Godblood city is that this is the last border resting place near the Jiu Yuan where the chief Ding Yue took the twelve boxes of the Godblood stone.
For another example, this caravan is not a group, but consists of three small caravans. It has not been together for a long time. It is only occasionally encountered on the road. In order to better resist the attack of ferocious beast and savage tribes, they all temporarily banded together.
In addition to these trivial things, Yuan Bing also heard an important news that surprised him but didn't reach the Jiu Yuan.
Suddenly, a merchant said. “Do you think the Ding Yue chief is really dying? It is said that he has not appeared in the tribe for a long time. Now the one who comes out to manage the tribe business is his Great Witch Zhe Li and the Great Princess of the Yincheng-Sound city.
Yuan Bing ears perked up.
The merchants opened their gossip boxes again, and those who knew a little bit of the news came out to share.
"I heard there was something wrong with his absorption of the Godblood stone."
"It's also said that the Jiu Yuan sent people to assassinate the Ding Yue chief."
"No, how can I hear that the Ding Yue chieftain got stuck at level 10, went mad and hurt people, and ran away?"
"No matter what it is, the incident of the Ding Yue chief is certain. But it should have nothing to do with the Jiu Yuan. Otherwise, the Ding Yuan will declare war with the Jiu Yuan soon? "
"They want to, but would they dare?"
"Hello, this is the Ding Yue lands. Please keep your voice down."
The merchants probably only know a little about this matter, and the topic slowly goes to the two or three things that chief Ding Yue and Princess Yincheng-Sound city have to say.
Some people think Lamo-Na is very pitiful, because she married the former chief of Ding Yue not long ago. Then the former chief died. According to the unwritten rules, the new chief can marry Lamo-Na again. But now the Ding Yue chief Shu Yi seems to have no intention of marrying Lamo-Na, and only gave her a priest position.
"If I were Princess Lamo-Na, I would go back to Yincheng-Sound city. She has no offspring and no man to rely on. No matter how much efforts, she pays into the tribe, she is an outsider."
"That's what you think! Why would she want to go back to Yincheng-Sound city? Let alone her brother can inherits Yincheng-Sound city. She doesn't necessarily will be able to retain her position when she goes back. Let alone outsiders…… Is Lamo-Ling, the Great Prince of Yincheng-Sound city, also in the Jiu Yuan?"
“Yes, I think Yincheng-Sound city people are very smart. You can see that their Great Prince and Great Princess are in the two most powerful forces in the eastern continent. No matter which one becomes the leader of the eastern continent in the future, they don't have to worry about Yincheng-Sound city safety."
"The Jiu Yuan is the strongest in the Eastern continent, I admit, but the Ding Yue are not a lot less, right? They don't seem to have a demigod, or their chief wouldn't be so eager to absorb the Godblood stone for the 10th level. "
"Tut, if their chief is really in trouble, the Ding Yue may be finished. Maybe the Ding Yue will become a subsidiary of Yincheng-Sound city in the future."
“Yes, you said if the Jiu Yuan knew of these news, what would they do?"
The topic began to change, and Yuan Bing had been listening to everyone pack their tents and rest by the fire.
Yuan Bing declined to be invited by enthusiastic merchants to share their tents.
The merchants didn't demand it either. They were enthusiastic, but they were wary of strangers. Although they wanted to attract the Unknown Warrior to join the ranks of caravan guardians.
Yuan Bing made a half circle around the simple wall, looking for a corner where there was no one to shelter from the wind.
Some parts of the wall of Godblood city are built with whole stones, some are made of crushed stones and mud, some are made of rough wood and grass mud. Although it looks solid, it looks irregular as a whole because of the nonstandard materials and modeling.
At the corner, Yuan Bing found a fairly satisfactory resting place, but there were already early arrivals.
Yuan Bing saw a pair of red naked feet at first sight.
A man who one can't see his age was sitting on the base of the city wall with his shaggy hair and a skin hide tent. His leg pants are scattered, and his bare / exposed leg skin is as cold red as his feet.
There are bloodstains around the man. Some of them have been covered with snow, but some of them can be seen clearly.
Yuan Bing looked down at the man's head in the fur. There are blood clots in the man's hair, but he doesn't know whether it is the blood from his own injury or from others.
Yuan Bing kicked the man’s feet lightly.
The owner of the foot didn't move.
Is he dead?
Yuan Bing looked at other places and decides to choose this one.
As for the dead man? He can sleep near the rotten corpse, and what is a frozen ghost sitting next to him going to do?
He took out a tent from the storage bone ware and installed it skillfully. Laid a thick fur inside. Took out a thick quilt and put it in. Before entering, he light a small stove outside and then carried it into the tent.
Close the door of the tent, press it down, and then put down the windshields rolled on it. The whole tent began to heat up.
The space in the tent is not small, it is enough for four adult men to lie flat inside.
Yuan Bing clapped the pillow, took off his coat, puts the bow and arrow beside the pillow, keeps the sleeve arrows on his wrists, pulled on the quilt and closes his eyes to sleep.
In the middle of the night, the roar of the snow outside grew louder, and the tent trembled slightly.
Yuan Bing suddenly opens his eyes, raises his left arm, and points his sleeve arrow at the mouth of the tent.
The mouth of the tent was pulled open and a furry head came in.
Yuan Bing was stunned to see the bloody face with a scratched beard, and missed the best shooting opportunity.
The furry head probably felt the warmth in the tent, could not wait to open more doors, and the whole body quickly climbed in.
"Get out of here!"
Yuan Bing's voice just came out when a fist suddenly appeared in front of him and hit him hard on the forehead.
Yuan Bing's body just sat up and then collapsed in the darkness.
Yuan Bing before coma: You bastrd!
The man who knocked Yuan Bing unconscious with one punch came in and pressed the tent again as soon as possible, then let out a lot of cold air.
The man, whose hair and beard are all in a mess and whose face is so polluted by blood, is the "frozen man" outside. His skin color is still the gray blue like that of the frozen man after coming, and the coloring remained in for a long time.
The man made the tent door, took off the worn fur, and soon found the warmest source. He was naked, opened Yuan Bing's thick quilt and climbed in.
Yuan Bing's half prostrate body seems to be a bit of a hindrance to him. The man reaches for Yuan Bing's neck and seems to want to strangle him to eliminate the threat.
But as soon as the hand was put on Yuan Bing's neck, a warm feeling immediately came from the skin under the palm.
The man rubbed back and forth several times.
Warmth, but also represents the strong pulse of life.
The man licked his lips and looked at Yuan Bing with a slightly different look.
He bowed his head, leaned over Yuan Bing, grabbed his neck and grinded his teeth.
Unfortunately, he was full at night. He ate most of the wolf king's meat and drank a lot of wolf blood.
An icy cool hand went down the collar.
Warm skin got hot when it comes into contact with the cold metal like ice.
The man looked at Yuan Bing with a little light source from the small stove. Doesn’t this man seem familiar?
There was no smell of wild animals or the smell of people who are not bathing all the year round. After a long time, I could smell a light and cool fragrance.
Yuan Bing in a clean coma: If I knew that there would be such a day, I would not take a bath all the year round, and I would make myself stink more than the stone pit!
The man seems to like the smell very much. He not only smelled it deeply, but also sticks out his tongue to add a lick on Yuan Bing's face and neck.
As the palm rubs back and forth on the hot and touching chest skin, the man's appetite gradually turns into another desire.
Do what you want!
Just like he would go to hunt to kill wild animals when he was hungry.
The man put Yuan Bing right beside him, ripped his clothes and pants in three or two times, turns over Yuan Bing's body with the only instinct left, and rode him up like a beast
