Chapter 21.1 - Tian Yan Clan - Lonely Island: You pushed me
Chapter 21: You pushed me
Yu Su frowned and seemed quite angry when he looked at Xiangnu. Xiangnu was a little scared and silently retracted his calf. He half-squatted on the chair, holding his legs like a bullied man looking poor, helpless and pitiful.
Yu Su bowed slightly and held Xiang Nu’s ankle, Xiang Nu shrank back, not touching him.
When Xiangnu looked up again, he saw that Mr Yu’s expression darkened a little bit. Xiang Nu instantly raised his feet tremblingly, because he was too nervous, and the white and round toes were slightly curled up.
Yu Su held the slender ankle, the skin in his palm was as cold as jade, but the redness was really an eyesore.
Yu Su didn’t feel bad for this little liar but felt that the artworks he imprinted were ruined by flaws, so he felt extremely irritable.
He circled the ankle of Xiangnu, his fingers coincided with the black pattern left on Xiangnu’s skin, and the black pattern instantly spread like a wild gra.s.s that had absorbed nutrients, turning into a complex vine that occupied the skin on Xiangnu’s calf, even up to the knee.
Xiangnu raised his head in pain at the moment when the black pattern spread, but after the pattern stopped spreading, he felt a lot more comfortable, at least the redness and swelling disappeared, and the pain was nothing compared to the torturous itching and it didn’t hurt for too long.
Xiang Nu gasped lightly and looked at the young man in front of him with a dazed look.
The loud crowing of the rooster pierced through the dawn and sounded clearly in Xiangnu’s ears. Xiangnu remembered in a trance that he was still in the dungeon mission and fell into drowsiness because of being drugged.
Xiang Nu looked at the young man in front of him with a pale face but found that his face was blurred.
Yu Su bent down and leaned over, Xiangnu slumped to one side in a panic, but fell to the ground with a thud, making a loud noise.
The few people who were half asleep because of the constant crowing were stirred up by the loud noise, and all of them woke up instantly.
Zhong Liyun slept on the table and woke up rubbing her eyes. Although she slept because of the medicine, when she woke up, nothing felt right all over her body, and she was sore and uncomfortable.
Zhong Liyun was rubbing her shoulders when she glanced out of the corner of the eye but saw Xiang Nu half lying on the ground, she was startled and hurriedly came over to help him up.
Xiangnu’s eyes diverged and he murmured, “It must be because I didn’t kiss Mr Yu in the dream, so he got angry and threw me on purpose.”
As soon as Xiangnu finished speaking, there was a sudden burning sensation in his legs. Xiangnu’s complexion changed, and he hurriedly lifted his trouser legs. Then he found that all the redness and swelling on his legs had disappeared, replaced by a black vine with branches.
The thoroughly awake Xiangnu recalled the entire dream, thinking of Yu Su in the dream and the real pattern on his leg, Xiangnu was quite sure that Yu Su was in the copy!
The Xiangnu in the dream clearly saw the person’s face, and the temperament and feeling of the person made him easily identify the person, making him blurt out that person’s name.
But Xiangnu was still half-blind when he was with Yu Su before. He has no idea what Yu Su looked like. It was normal for him to dream about Yu Su, but it would be very problematic to dream about Yu Su’s face so clearly.
Xiangnu recalled the appearance of Yu Su in the dream, with sharp eyebrows and handsome eyes, high nose bridge, neither thin nor thick lips, just the right plumpness, clear edges and corners…
The world that Xiangnu had seen was so barren that he couldn’t think of any beautiful words to describe Yu Su’s appearance. He only knew that it was a beauty that could be perceived on human instinct.
With Xiangnu’s knowledge, he didn’t think he could dream of such a beautiful face.
Coupled with the sudden appearance of the pattern on the leg, Xiang Nu was sure that Yu Su was already in the copy!
Xiang Nu nervously put down his trouser legs, secretly annoyed, knowing that if Yu Su could still run into other dungeons, he would not have been in such a hurry to leave at that time.
Now, Yu Su didn’t get rid of it, and now he has to suffer in this copy, Xiang Nu is distressed to death.
Zhong Liyun didn’t hear Xiangnu’s whispering to himself, and said blankly, “Little Junior Brother, what are you talking about?”
Xiang Nu barely pulled out a smile and forced a laugh, “Nothing, I was trying to say, let’s hurry up and find clues, the environment of this copy is too bad.”
Zhong Li Yun smiled, “Is this even worse? In fact, among the countryside type of copy background, this copy is still considered a good environment.”
Xiang Nu looked out the window. Although the rooster was crowing, the outside was bright, and there was no movement in the room of the old man and the little fat man in the northside. They probably hadn’t woken up yet so he said to everyone, “There is no movement in the room over there in Master and Senior Brother’s rooms. Our door was locked by the senior brother yesterday, and we can’t go out for the time being. So let’s just take advantage of this time to have a chat, how about it?”
Ding Zeming got up from the bunk bed and looked at the northside room for a while against the window. After confirming that there was indeed no light there, he looked at Xiangnu in surprise and asked, “How do you know that they haven’t woken up over there?”
Xiangnu pondered, “Before I entered the dungeon world, I couldn’t see with my eyes, so I was very sensitive to hearing in daily life, so my hearing is very good, and I can hear any subtle sounds. But I was careless just now because when I was in the hall before, Qingfeng’s room was next door, but I didn’t hear anything, so I can’t directly use this to judge that they didn’t wake up.”
Ding Zeming was surprised, “You couldn’t see before? Then how did you clear the first dungeon?”
Xiangnu showed a standard perfect smile and praised in a very formalized way, “It was with my husband’s help, he is very good.”
Ding Zeming looked at him and smiled helplessly as he looked down, “Little junior, I do want to make friends with you to get to know you better, but if you don’t like it, I won’t keep pestering you, you don’t have to always show your love in front of me.”
Xiang Nu was stunned for a moment, his cheeks were slightly red, and he smiled embarra.s.sedly.
Ding Zeming had misunderstood. Xiangnu’s words were meant for Yu Su, but Xiangnu didn’t explain too much.
If you let everyone know that there was a foreign monster sneaking into this dungeon, everyone will be frightened.
Shu Jian and Jiang Chao were still the same, silent and taciturn. Miao Dong stroked his hair irritably, and sighed, “While Master is still not awake, let’s take a look at the clues, and after finding a clue, those who want to leave, those who want to stay and earn rewards can be decided, in short, hurry up and don’t dawdle.”
Xiang Nu patted the dust that had just fallen on the ground, sat back on the chair, and counted with his fingers, “Let’s pick out the problems first.”
Ding Zeming said, “The first is how much Master attaches importance to ‘respecting teachers’. Master’s past relationship chain is the first direction of the investigation.”
“Second is Senior Brother Qingfeng. Why did he give us medicine last night?”
“Then there is the earth soul. What is the significance of ‘earth soul’? why was it buried in the Qiuyuan, and what is the purpose of the master asking for the earth soul?”
“Finally, there are the villagers. They have been locked inside their house. Some people have chimneys on their roofs, and some people raise red flags. What role do they play in the copy, and what do red flags and chimneys mean?”
Xiangnu rubbed his injured shoulders and elbows when he fell before. Then he added, “There is also the Taoist technique in the mouth of the master. It is estimated that the master will teach us tomorrow. It is worth noting, if there is a TV, there may be other electronic products, such as a telephone. The island we are on is isolated, and it is completely isolated from the outside world, but if there is a telephone, this island is not as isolated as it seems.”
Seeing that he was saying more and more, she(Zhong Liyun) hurriedly gestured, “Stop! Don’t say more, this much is enough.”
Xiangnu closed his mouth and looked at Zhong Liyun innocently, Zhong Liyun said helplessly, “I see that these directions you are looking for basically do not have much overlap, probably different branches. Five or six branches is enough for us to get a group of fairly good rewards, more than that we may not be able to complete all of them. So the other points will be put aside first, let’s wait until we find something else at a later stage.”
Xiangnu nodded and kept his mouth shut. Compared with the people in front of him, he was inexperienced, and he needed to listen to the opinions of others.
Jiang Chao said slowly, “During the day, not necessarily, free, at night, drink medicine, meet, sleep, senior brother…”
Xiangnu bit his lip and suggested, “You guys say, should we directly ask the senior brother why he gave us medicine?”
Ding Zeming glanced at him and asked, “How did you think of asking directly?”
Xiangnu recalled for a moment and said, “Probably the senior brother’s body language of drugging was too obvious, and he didn’t cover it at all. if it wasn’t for the cloth bag hidden and sealed tightly, looking at his candid movements, I would have thought he was just putting in the seasoning.”
“He put it openly and honestly, and we asked openly and honestly. There should be no problem, right?”
Everyone was hesitant, and Xiangnu rea.s.sured, “If you are worried, I can ask him alone.”
Xiangnu had to admit that he was very confident with Yu Su by his side, and he dared to take risks in many dangerous things.
The beautiful young man curled the corners of his lips into a smile, and the few missionaries were dazzled by his sudden smile. They were all stunned for a while, and it took a while to recover.
Everyone chatted for a while, Zhong Liyun suggested, “These tasks are too complicated, it’s easy to mess up the clues when mixed together, and if we always trigger inspections together, the goal of the six of us will look too obvious, why don’t we separate them from each other? Well, each leads a branch to explore…”
Miao Dong said, “Some can be divided, and some can’t be divided, such as tomorrow’s ‘Daoist’s art’, we must learn together.
“We also have to find the reason why the senior brother gave us medicine. It’s hard to say which branch this belongs to. We will talk about it when the junior brother asks for some results.”
“The other few, who would you like to take on the task of finding the Master’s past relationship chain?”
Xiangnu scratched his chin, blinked and looked at Shu Jian with hesitation in his eyes, “Actually, I prefer to do the mission of the earth soul, because the third senior brother and I have captured the earth soul, which can save a teammate from being killed by the earth soul. Considering this point… Third Senior Brother, what’s your opinion?”
Shu Jian hurriedly nodded and replied, “I’m willing, I’m willing, little junior brother, let me do the mission of the earth soul with you.”
Xiangnu smiled at Miao Dong, “Second Senior Brother, then I and Third Senior Brother will go to investigate the matter related to Earth Soul, and we have to ask you to help when necessary.”
Miao Dong nodded, “No problem.”
Ding Zeming said, “Then leave the investigation of the Master’s past relationship to me.”
Jiang Chao said, “I want to check the TV-related plots and see if I can find other electronic products.”
Jiang Chao said slowly, very calmly.
Miao Dong took Zhong Liyun’s shoulders and said with a smile “Miss Zhong, let’s go check the affairs of those villagers together and see what secrets the red flag and the chimney hold.”
Zhong Liyun glanced at him angrily, and said lightly, “Okay, but you don’t have to be so polite, just call me sister.”
Miao Dong couldn’t help but laugh.
Several people exchanged their general ideas. During this period, Xiangnu would bend down from time to time and touch his left calf, that is, the calf that was occupied by the black vine-like pattern, getting lost from time to time.
Ding Zeming may subconsciously always look at Xiangnu, so when he saw Xiangnu touch his calf again, Ding Zeming couldn’t help but ask “Little Junior Brother, what is the pattern on your leg, I didn’t seem to see this on your leg before, does it concern you?”
Xiang Nu was slightly startled, shook his head and said, “It doesn’t matter, I know what this is, thank you for your concern.”
Ding Zeming withdrew his gaze, Xiangnu didn’t seem to want the relationship between them to be too close, and Ding Zeming was not an ignorant person, so naturally, he would not be too entangled.
Slowly, the sky gradually became brighter, and the main house at the north end finally moved.
The iron door behind the curtain was slammed open, and Qing Feng, who had a sullen and soulless expression, pushed open the door and walked out. He stood for a few seconds in the light of the dawn before gradually regaining his charm and vividness.
The little fat man stretched his muscles and bones in the sun, and after a few jumps, he went to the small shed to boil water and to make the stove. Thanks to his sensitive hearing, Xiang Nu was the first to notice the movement of the main house.
Xiangnu approached the window and saw Qingfeng coming out with a slanted light, and immediately left the small house, patted the iron door of their house that was locked by Qingfeng from the outside, and softly called out, “Eldest brother, you are awake. Can you help open the door?”
Zhong Liyun reported Little Fatty’s news to him over there, “Elder brother is here.”
Qingfeng came over and opened the door. While opening the door, he chatted with Xiangnu, “Little Junior Brother, you got up much earlier than me. Didn’t you sleep last night?”
T/N: I am really busy this month, so many exams??. This chapter came a little late that’s why. But after this month and another half of April, I may be able to update every day
