Chapter 92 Fireflies have no winter

Half an hour later, the triumphant team met Zhang Daxia who was wielding a big pickaxe vigorously.

Looking at the desolate walking corpses and monsters' skinned and cramped corpses all over the ground, Lu Ziqing was shocked and praised from the bottom of his heart: "Brother Zhang really deserves the name of a ghost!"

If I were a monster, I would definitely stay away from you.

Lao Zhang patted his chest: "Professional!"

What monster's leg tendons are useful, what hairy and non-hairy skins are valuable, what horns and sweethearts can be used as medicine, I, Zhang Men'er, know all about it!

"You're busy." Lu Ziqing's stomach growled, "Let's go out and rest first."

Everyone has the same thought, I want to eat some human food! Return to the human world and blow the human breeze!

As a result, as soon as he came out of the secret realm, he was surrounded by a large group of grateful folk girls.

"Thank you very much, sir, for saving my life!"

"Princess! Your Highness, the daughter of the people kneels down for you!"

"The princess's great kindness cannot be repaid. The daughter of the people must build a shrine for your highness, and your descendants will praise your highness's heroic name!"

"To be honest with you young masters, wuwuwu, the little girl is already homeless..."

Princess Huyang was very happy, and a group of boys even blushed at the girls who were eager to repay their kindness.

Lu Ziqing ran away quickly. This is the advantage of being ugly. He will basically not be entangled by the repaying girl. Lu Ziqing said hello to Huangzhou General Soldier, has the room been tidied up? Let's start cooking! Maybe we will go in tomorrow.

.

Huangzhou General Soldier was very surprised: "You still want to go in?"

"I haven't killed enough yet." Lu Ziqing didn't want to explain any more. Taking advantage of the great power of Hongmeng Ancestor, he could fight as many times as he could. How fast this strength would grow and how cool the equipment would be.

.Isn’t it delicious to have a magic weapon in one’s hands, a bow to carry on one’s back, and armor to put on? It’s a rare opportunity.

Even Zhang Daxia is reluctant to come out. As a disciple of Hongmeng, he can't be without mercenaries who are diligent, right?

Everyone did not return to the city, so they went straight out of the pit and went up to the village. Several rooms had been cleaned out in the village, and many of the women and children rescued were from the village. Seeing that their homes had turned into a dead land, they worked hard

Most of the crops they planted had been submerged, and they couldn't help crying. At the princess's request, the Huangzhou sergeants and local knights evacuated and took the homeless women and children to Huangzhou Mansion to settle down.

The evil charlatan has been eliminated, and everyone must continue to devote their energy to disaster relief.

That night, the Huyang team and the mercenaries stayed overnight in the village in the east of the ditch.

This was the first time for Princess Huyang to live in such a simple place. Instead of feeling unbearable, she found it very interesting to spend the night in a mountain village.

The Huangzhou General Soldier had already asked the sergeants to light up a bonfire and make soup. He also sent a swordsman master back to the city to buy some exquisite dishes and bring them over in food boxes. He called them simple and simple in the mountains, and asked His Highness to pay homage to them.

Everyone ate and drank enough and got many treasures. They were very happy. They also gave two swords to Huangzhou General Soldier to offset the cost of the Ice Talisman. Huangzhou General Soldier was also very happy. This knife is quite precious. What's even more rare is that

A pair of two, exactly the same.

"Is the life of the common people very good?" Princess Huyang was very happy. "There is a hole in the roof. It's so smart. You can see the stars directly when you raise your head."

There was a flood of flattery all around: "The Holy One is wise today! The people live and work in peace and contentment..."

Lu Ziqing directly complained: "Can you please stop being so hypocritical? Even if the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the country is far from well-off. What's more, this is just a remote mountain village. Is everyone happy to have holes in the roof? The princess eats it.

What the commander-in-chief asked the chef to cook for you is not for the common people. The quilts and mattresses belong to wealthy families and are not for ordinary people."

"You're such a sycophant!" Princess Huyang was unhappy. How dare you say that the Great Zhou Dynasty was not prosperous?

Lu Ziqing took out an empty rice vat and grabbed a handful of brown rice mixed with shells from the bottom. There were also a few black rice worms crawling inside: "This is what the common people eat. Your Highness, do you want to try it?"

"No! It doesn't taste good! Why do people eat these black bugs?"

"The people don't want there to be bugs in the rice! People don't eat bugs!"

Lu Ziqing found a broken cabinet and picked up the patched and dirty quilts piled inside: "These are for the common people. Do you want them?"

"I don't want it! It's so dirty!" Princess Huyang hid and pointed at the stars in the sky, "These stars are always what the common people are looking at, right?"

Lu Ziqing was speechless. There was no way this could be fake. But looking at the stars couldn't be a meal.

"That's it!" Princess Huyang said confidently, "It's enough for me to live in people's homes, sleep in people's beds, and look at the same stars as people!"

Lu Ziqing: "As long as your Highness is happy. The common people should retire."

"Niechen, please don't sleep. Please watch the stars with me!" Princess Huyang chased her out.

"Huh? What night can't you look at the stars?"

This is not the earth. It is rare to even look at the stars.

"I have never seen the stars in Huangzhou!"

"The stars are the same wherever they are!"

"You're talking nonsense, it's not the same at all! Look, the stars here are so bright! The stars are so big!"

"...Is the pollution in Wangdu so serious?"

Lu Ziqing didn't pay much attention to it before.

"Firefly, firefly!" Princess Huyang left Lu Ziqing and chased the firefly.

In the grass, patches of fireflies flew up.

Lu Ziqing was helpless. He was afraid that she would fall into the water, so he had to follow her. What was he running around in the dark for someone who was unfamiliar with the place?

Princess Huyang chased a patch of fireflies to the water's edge, stepped in, and was pulled back by Lu Ziqing. This lake originally only appeared during spring floods, and after the water receded, the villagers used the silt to farm, and now it has become a

Flooded farmland.

A large group of fireflies flew up against the water, illuminating the water and reflecting the golden rice fields under the water.

Princess Huyang exclaimed: "Wow, so beautiful!"

Lu Ziqing rolled his eyes, doesn't your conscience hurt?

"There is a boat there, hurry up, I want to take the boat!"

But the boat was stuck in the mud and was very dirty. Princess Huyang was very disappointed.

"Nie, please think of a way for me to do this."

Lu Ziqing took out a large bathtub from the Qiankun bag. I am a very particular person when I travel around the world.

"This is a bathtub, not a boat!"

"What's wrong with the bathtub? Don't you just want to float for a while?" Lu Ziqing lay in it, kicked off his legs, and floated on the water.

"Did you know that some fishermen just paddle in the bathtub to catch fish in the sea and close their nets?"

“The bathtub can be rotated at will, so it’s the best place for rafting.”

Wherever the bathtub passes, fireflies fly in groups, like a magnificent fairyland.

Princess Huyang was convinced and was very envious: "You come back and it's my place."

Lu Ziqing raised his feet on the water, and slowly pushed the bathtub back with a burst of energy. Princess Huyang couldn't wait to lie in, and Lu Ziqing kicked up: "Let's go."

Princess Huyang lay in the bathtub and left with a wave of waves: "What a sycophant——!"

The bathtub cuts through the water like an arrow and rushes to the center of the lake, startling the sky with fireflies, flying in groups in the air. Under the water is a golden rice field, with golden wheat ears hanging heavily on the emerald-like stems and leaves, in the fluorescent light

It looks resplendent underneath.

Lu Ziqing threw a tree trunk into the water, jumped up and floated with Princess Huyang.

"It's so beautiful." Princess Huyang was enchanted. She stretched out her hands and looked at the stars and the swirling fireflies in the sky. She didn't know whether the sky was in the water or the water was in the sky.

Lu Ziqing rolled his eyes again. If we hadn't had a good relationship, he would have denounced you as the princess of a subjugated country.

Princess Huyang said happily: "Why are there so many fireflies here? Haha!"

Lu Ziqing said: "Because they are mating. The weather has become cold, and they will all die in a few days."

Yes, this is their final madness.

Lu Ziqing said deliberately: "Fireflies, there is no winter!"

This is because the climate in Huangzhou is relatively warm, and the fireflies in the north are all dead as early as the end of summer.

"Can you please stop being such a nuisance to the scenery!"

"Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

"I asked you to find a way to prevent them from dying!"

"This is destiny, even gods can't do anything about it."

Lu Ziqing stood on the tree trunk floating on the water and yawned, secretly thinking, go back to sleep quickly.

"Destiny? Nichen, do you know?" Princess Huyang murmured, "I cannot ascend."

Lu Ziqing was startled, aren't you the careful mind of Hongmeng Ancestor? Your strength is not bad either.

"My father is not good, and neither is my grandpa. As long as you are of royal blood, you can't do it." Princess Huyang said leisurely, "No matter how talented you are, no matter how hard you work, you can only accept this hundred years of life.

Sometimes you can't even live for a month. Because this is the price of bearing the aura of an emperor and being rich in the world, and it is the responsibility of being born in an emperor's family.

"Those who are kings cannot live forever.

"The same goes for princesses.

"I can only watch you all ascend, and at the worst, you can live for hundreds of years. I can only grow old alone and die alone."

Lu Ziqing was stunned for a moment, and rightly so, if the emperors lived forever, the Zhou Dynasty would only need one emperor to survive from ancient times to the present.

"So don't impose all the people's dissatisfaction on me." Princess Huyang huddled in the bathtub, quietly looking at the fireflies flying in the sky and the glorious rice fields under the water.

"I don't want to be a princess either."

"I owe nothing to anyone in the world."

Lu Ziqing was silent.

Destiny, I have been working hard to change it.

To change one person's destiny, you need to save three thousand generations. How to save the fate of the emperor? It's not that I don't want to help you by the way, but unless the Great Zhou Dynasty is destroyed and all life is in ruins.

The two of them drifted quietly like this without saying a word. Gradually, their bodies were covered with fireflies.

Lu Ziqing suddenly felt that fireflies are beautiful. Even if there is only a moment of madness, they are brilliant.

After a long time, Princess Huyang said quietly: "Nie Chen... can you die with me..."

Lu Ziqing replied very simply: "No."

There was no answer. A closer look revealed that Princess Huyang had fallen asleep and was talking in her sleep.

Lu Ziqing's head felt heavy for a while, and he was indeed very tired today. He kicked the bathtub back to the shore, picked up Princess Huyang amidst the flying fireflies, and took her back to the house.
