Chapter 118
Looking at the little guy rushing towards him, Shi Ze was a little flattered.
He opened his arms and took the little guy into his arms. Not minding that the little guy hadn't washed his face yet, he bent down and kissed him a few times.
"Why did you wake up so early? Are you hungry? Grandpa will take you to have breakfast."
"Hungry."
Mingqiao was not polite at all. He stuck out his little belly and let his grandfather touch it.
Shi Ze reached out and touched it, and it was indeed deflated.
"Come on, grandpa will carry you to eat."
Shi Ze was in a very good mood as he held the particularly clingy baby in his arms.
He held the soft cub in his arms, and did not ignore You Qing: "Xiao You, if you want to eat anything, just tell me. I have money."
Shi Ze didn't have much concept of money. Anyway, he went to borrow money from a loan shark and it went quite smoothly.
The person was quite kind and said I could return it later.
Shi Ze had everything planned out. Once he got more familiar with his current life, he would find some way to make money, use the money he earned to pay off the loan sharks, and give the rest to his son and grandson.
When Shi Ze thought about the days to come, he felt that having sons and grandchildren would be a pretty good feeling.
There is just one thing: who gave birth to his son back then?
He doesn't remember ever being in a relationship with anyone.
Shi Ze couldn’t understand what happened back then. He thought about it for a moment and stopped thinking about the past.
On the street.
The various food shops are dizzying to look at. In addition to the food shops that sell food for humans, there are also some shops that sell food for cranes.
"Crane cake, crane cake, this is the crane cake that cranes love the most!"
"Crane dumplings, the dumplings that cranes love! Selling at a low price!"
These people were shouting loudly, and Ming Qiao couldn't help but buy some.
He wanted to buy some to feed the cranes.
He had never seen the legendary crane!
"What's so good about the crane? The Qilin and the dragon are much more beautiful than it."
Shi Ze saw that his grandson was so looking forward to the crane, and felt that looking forward to the crane was not as good as looking forward to the unicorn and the dragon.
The latter two mythical beasts are much more majestic than the crane.
As soon as he mentioned Qilin and dragon, Ming Qiao became more interested.
"Grandpa, where can I see the Qilin and the dragon?"
"What do they look like?"
"How big is it?"
"Grandpa, have you seen them?"
Ming Qiao asked one question after another, and Shi Ze didn't feel annoyed at all despite so many questions.
"Of course my grandfather has seen it. He even raised a black dragon."
Ming Qiao: “!”
Mingqiao's eyes suddenly lit up.
He likes dragons!
He had seen dragons in picture books. Dragons were so majestic!
In the Cang Xuan Continent, the dragon is the totem of the royal family, and all emperors who ascend the throne call themselves the true dragon emperor.
The royal family revered dragons, and the people also revered dragons.
Ming Qiao was influenced by her surroundings and was envious of mythical beasts like dragons.
He wants to see the big dragon.
"Grandpa, where is your dragon? Show it to Qiao Qiao."
Ming Qiao said as she climbed onto Shi Ze's thighs.
He sat on Shi Ze's lap, looking at Shi Ze expectantly with his round eyes.
Shi Ze was struck by this little look and a smile appeared on his handsome face.
"I almost died back then, and I don't know where the black dragon went. I guess he ran away. But it doesn't matter. If our Qiao Qiao wants to see him, grandpa will find him back. Okay?"
Ming Qiao: “…”
Ming Qiao's face was tangled: "Can I still find it back?"
Grandpa was imprisoned for a very long time, and the big black dragon must have been running for a very long time as well.
Ming Qiao felt that it would be a bit difficult to find the big black dragon again.
"Well, let me try..."
Shi Ze wasn't quite sure either.
The black dragon he raised was not particularly compatible with him.
"Grandpa, then, have you ever raised a Qilin? Which one is more beautiful, a Qilin or a dragon?"
"The dragon looks better."
Shi Ze thought about it and gave his own evaluation: "It's just that Long's temper is worse, even worse than mine."
"White Tiger has the best temper, but he's hard to deal with when he gets upset."
Shi Ze told Ming Qiao about the mythical beasts that appeared in the Age of Gods. He talked about the habits of these mythical beasts and what they had done...
As he spoke, Ming Qiao, You Qing, and Ling Si who followed him, all listened attentively with their little faces.
Er Er was also leaning towards Xiao Ye to listen.
Only little lazy boy was sleeping. He loved sleeping the most every day.
After telling stories for a whole morning, Shi Ze became more likable in the eyes of the children.
Lingsi also politely called him grandpa.
A big one took a few small ones and then wandered around.
Mingqiao told his grandfather what happened last night.
When Shi Ze heard that his grandson's things had been stolen, he immediately became furious.
He wanted to settle the score with someone right there and then.
But the street where the dark box was found would only open at night, so he wouldn't be able to find anyone if he went there now.
There was no way, he could only hold his breath and wait until night.
Around noon, the two children, Qinglan and Juan, came.
“Qiao Qiao!!!”
As soon as she saw Ming Qiao, Qing Lan rushed over. She hugged Ming Qiao excitedly, unwilling to let go: "I finally see you! I missed you so much! Do you miss me?!"
"I missed you, too."
Ming Qiao said softly, "Are you and An An okay?"
"We are all fine. Are you okay? Is anyone bullying you? Have you and Lingsi made any new friends?"
Qinglan is a chatterbox and she keeps asking Mingqiao questions.
Ming Qiao replied good-temperedly: "I'm fine, Lingsi and I haven't made any new friends."
Although the kids from Wanling College did not exclude him like the kids from Wuling College, he didn't make any friends either.
He has given up on making friends now.
With Lingsi, Qinglan, Juan and other friends, as well as his brother to keep him company, Mingqiao felt that he had no shortage of people to play with.
"Qiao Qiao, I also want to go to Wanling College! You wait for me, I will definitely be admitted to Wanling College."
"Then we can play together again!"
"Yeah! Waiting for you!"
"Qiao Qiao, wait for me too! I'll be there too."
The fat boy Juan squeezed forward not to be outdone and also patted his chest and assured Mingqiao.
The children huddled together, and You Qing looked at them and frowned.
"Qiao Qiao, do you want some candied haws? There are some in front."
You Qing spoke in a calm voice, and seemingly casually took the kid in front of Qing Lan back.
“I want to eat!”
Ming Qiao's attention was successfully drawn back. He obediently let You Qing hold his hand and looked at the candied haws in front of him.
You Qing went to buy several strings of candied haws.
He actually had no money, but Qingheng gave him pocket money.
Qingheng was very kind and considerate to him.
Ming Qiao shared the few strings of candied haws that You Qing bought with his friends.
They strolled together, and sometimes they felt safer with Ze, an adult, accompanying them.
It was approaching evening.
A clear crane cry was heard from the horizon. Then, more and more black and white cranes appeared in the clouds.
The cranes are coming.
The sight of so many cranes circling in the sky looks spectacular.
Ming Qiao tilted her little face upward, stunned.
“So many cranes!”
"This is not enough. There will be more cranes to come."
Lingsi said, and also reminded: "We must be prepared."
Ming Qiao: “?”
Ming Qiao was stunned for a moment: "What preparations?"
Lingsi looked up at the cranes and said, "When these cranes come over, if there are a lot of them, they will form many vortices in the sky."
"You can enter the vortex. Some people say that some vortexes lead to some real miracles or some undiscovered secret places. But I don't know if it's true."
"We can go in and take a look."
Of course, there may not be a good place behind some vortices.
This is all based on luck.
After listening to Lingsi's explanation, Mingqiao raised his little face and looked at Shize.
Shi Ze understood and pinched his little face: "Don't worry, Grandpa will take you in."
"Yeah! Thank you, Grandpa!"
Ming Qiao narrowed his eyes, eager to go in and take a look.
Lingsi didn't give Mingqiao particularly high expectations.
He also entered the vortex last time. Behind the vortex was an ordinary waterfall and a group of unruly monkeys.
He was also pelted with stones by those wild monkeys.
In order to select the most valuable vortex, many people will go to feed these cranes.
These cranes have become accustomed to this wave of feeding, and they eat with peace of mind.
Ming Qiao also fed the crane.
The cranes that others feed all have brightly colored feathers and look very powerful.
Mingqiao was feeding a very thin and small mottled crane.
This little crane is not pure black and white, its colors are a bit mixed.
This colorful scene reminded Ming Qiao of his good friend Hua Hua.
Huahua is also a mottled little fox.
Thinking of Huahua, Mingqiao looked at Xiaohe with even more loving eyes.
"Eat, as much as you want!"
Mingqiao put the heyuan he bought in front of Xiaohe. He bought a lot of bowls.
Xiao He was skinny and looked like he hadn't eaten for a long time.
It ate voraciously.
After eating for a long time, Xiao He was finally full, and it rubbed Ming Qiao's hand affectionately.
Mingqiao touched it with a smile on his little face.
"You are so small and skinny, don't your parents give you anything to eat?"
Xiao He cried out.
Ming Qiao seemed to understand. He stopped smiling and looked at Xiao He with a bit of heartache.
"You don't have an adult? Then wait, I'll pack you some more food!"
Ming Qiao is soft-hearted and can't bear to see Xiao He starve.
He ran to buy a storage bag and put a lot of food into it.
Then he hung the storage bag around Xiaohe's neck.
"Try it. Put your head in there and see if you can eat it."
"These are enough for you to eat for a long time. You should eat more to grow taller."
"When you grow up, you won't be hungry anymore."
Mingqiao gave Xiaohe a storage bag, and Xiaohe liked it very much.
It hung the storage bag and was intimate with Mingqiao for a while before it spread its wings and flew high into the sky.
The cranes come here because of the beautiful scenery, with mountains and water.
They are here to reproduce.
The little crane also passed by with the flock of cranes.
Ming Qiao watched the little crane fly away, and just hoped that the little crane would have a full stomach next time.
Time goes by little by little.
Before the vortex appeared, it was dark.
Shi Ze waited until dark, and without any pause, he hugged Ming Qiao and went to find the person who had robbed Ming Qiao's things yesterday.
He had a pretty easy time finding it.
The man behind the black box recognized Ming Qiao.
Seeing Mingqiao being carried over, he raised his eyebrows, completely unaware of the danger.
"Hey, did you call the adults at home?"
"I tell you, it's no use calling you here. You have to follow my rules when you're here."
The owner of the black box spoke in a rather frivolous tone.
What a pity, Shi Ze is even crazier than him.
"You are really asking for trouble by bullying my grandson."
Shi Ze narrowed his eyes, lowered his head and reminded his grandson, "Qiao Qiao, close your eyes."
Ming Qiao stretched out his chubby little hands and covered his eyes with them.
As soon as he covered his eyes, Shi Ze's fist hit him.
soon.
The owner of the black box was beaten black and blue, but he refused to give in.
He called someone over.
Everyone on the street was attracted by him.
They went up together, and then, they fell down together.
Shi Ze is a demon god. Although his power is not as strong as before, he has not regressed too much.
None of these people were his match.
If there hadn't been children there, everyone on the street would have been beaten.
They have to die.
"Remember this lesson. Not just anyone can bully a child."
"roll."
"Wait, give me the boundary-breaking stone that my grandson touched."
Shi Ze easily got the Boundary Breaking Stone.
He took the Boundary-Breaking Stone and turned around to give it to Ming Qiao.
Halfway through the fight, he put Mingqiao aside and asked him and Lingsi to stand and watch.
"Hey? Where's my grandson?"
When Shi Ze, holding the Boundary Breaking Stone and looking back for his grandson, saw a street corner where there was no child at all, he was stunned.
He stood there, stunned for a few seconds, and looked back at the group of people he had defeated: "You hid my grandson?"
“Nothing hidden…”
The group of people who were breathing heavily were now frightened when they saw him.
A man with a swollen face pointed to the sky with difficulty and said, "He, they were taken away by the cranes."
While they were fighting, a crane flew over.
One of the little cranes picked up Ming Qiao and flew into the sky.
The other children also rode cranes.
The cranes carried them on their backs as if they were taking them for fun.
The man also saw them, giggling as they flew in the sky.
As they were laughing, they were thrown into a vortex by the crane.
These cranes threw it quite suddenly.
The man looked at the children and didn't react.
"Why didn't you say anything if you saw it?!!"
Shi Ze's face darkened, and he clenched his teeth: "Did you do this on purpose?"
"I didn't mean to not say it, and I didn't react."
The man was afraid of getting beaten again, so he hurriedly explained, "These cranes are sending them to the vortex, which is a good thing."
People at the gathering fed the cranes in the hope of getting some guidance from them to lead them to a better whirlpool.
These children didn't receive any guidance; they were sent directly in by the cranes.
He was so envious of such luck.
"What a fart!"
Shi Ze couldn't hold it in any longer, he cursed: "If you want to send me in, why don't you send me in too!"
He, the parent, is still outside!
Shi Ze was so angry at the cranes that he cursed and swore. He didn't care about the people on the ground anymore and flew into the sky.
At this moment, countless whirlpools are floating in the sky.
Shi Ze looked at these vortices and felt that they all looked the same.
He really couldn't guess where his grandson was.
"Where's the crane? Which crane threw my grandson?! Come out!"
Shi Ze questioned loudly, but No He paid any attention to him.
He was so angry that he wanted to twist the necks of all the cranes.
Shi Ze was still outside, furious and helpless, while Ming Qiao had already fallen to the ground in the vortex.
"elder brother?"
"Ling Si?"
"Qinglan, An'an!"
Mingqiao sat on the ground, looked up at the sky, and wanted to call everyone.
But they were thrown away separately, and he called out several times but no one came.
"Where is this..."
Ming Qiao was at a loss. He got up, not knowing where Xiao He had thrown him.
This vortex will automatically disappear in two days, and at that time, he will automatically appear at the place where the vortex appeared.
So, he is not afraid.
"One, one, two, two, are you hurt?"
Seeing that he couldn't call anyone, Ming Qiao started to check on the two Yayas.
The two buds were inside his clothes, not in the space.
When Ming Qiao called out, they all showed up.
Ming Qiao looked at them one by one, touched them, and saw that they were all fine, and a look of relief appeared on his little face.
“The spiritual energy here is really rich.”
Ming Qiao touched Yaya's small leaves, sniffed, and reminded: "One, one, two, two, absorb more spiritual energy, so that it will be easier to transform."
The two buds have not shown any signs of transforming yet.
Baiguo wasn't worried at all and said it was good for them to transform later.
I'll transform later so I can have less worries now.
Yaya is much easier to take care of than the cubs.
Baiguo is a gentle person, he is not in a hurry for the buds to transform.
Mingqiao, the eldest brother, was a little anxious.
He takes care of the Yayas every day and cares about them very much.
He was afraid that the Yayas wouldn't be able to transform.
"This place looks really nice, and there are hot springs."
Ming Qiao walked around with the two Yayas, and the more he walked, the more he felt like he had entered a treasure house.
In addition to the abundant spiritual energy here, there are also many treasures.
He also saw a mountain of gold.
In addition to the Golden Mountain, there are countless fairy flowers and herbs here.
Ming Qiao picked a lot of magical flowers and herbs.
He also took a hot spring bath.
"It's so comfortable. It would be nice if my brother was here too."
Soaking in the comfortable hot spring, the naked boy feels very comfortable.
He lay with his little body in the hot spring, kicking the water and wanting his brother to come over.
"One, one, two, two, don't soak for too long. You are buds, you can't soak for too long."
Ming Qiao also put Yi Yi and Er Er into the hot spring.
This hot spring has a nourishing effect.
Ming Qiao felt it as soon as he came in, so he wanted to let the buds soak for a while.
Soak in hot springs, pick flowers and grass to find gold and treasures.
Ming Qiao is very busy.
After working for half a day, Ming Qiao noticed something was wrong when he was preparing a treasure.
There is writing on this baby.
A word "Qin".
He looked at the word "Qin" with hesitation on his little face, and his little hands, which were pretending to be a treasure, paused.
"What a coincidence."
He murmured, "It must be a coincidence."
This treasure must have no owner!
Ming Qiao muttered, stood up, and walked somewhere else.
This place is so huge that you can never reach the end.
Ming Qiao shuttled through the dazzling pile of treasures. After a long time, he found more signs with the word Qin on them.
"One, one, two, two, this, this place, could it be someone else's treasure house?"
Although Ming Qiao didn't want to guess so, he had to guess so after seeing so many signs.
Yiyi and Erer were too young, they shook their little leaves to indicate that they could not answer their elder brother's questions.
Mingqiao was about to cry.
He spent a long time here filling up the storage ring, and the result was -
Is he filling someone else's treasure trove?
If he was discovered, he would be considered a thief.
"One, one, two, two, let's just wait for the vortex to disappear."
Ming Qiao, who didn't want to be a thief, decided to find a place and wait for the vortex to disappear.
The place Xiaohe sent him to was indeed a good place, but he couldn't take anything here.
Mingqiao made up his mind and went to find a place to rest.
He searched and searched, and just as it was getting dark, he managed to find a mountain slope that was sheltered from the wind.
As soon as he sat down in the mountain cave, he heard footsteps.
The footsteps were not far away.
Ming Qiao heard footsteps and stood up suddenly.
He leaned against the mountain's snow, and his breathing became lighter.
Although it was dark outside, there was also light, which was emitted by a pile of gems.
With the help of the light, Mingqiao secretly looked outside.
He saw a man in purple clothes, which were exactly the attire of the Qin family.
The man in purple was dragging a heavy cage, which contained a bunch of beasts.
He dragged the beasts and kept moving forward.
Ming Qiao was a little curious about what he wanted to do.
"One, one, two, two, you say, should we go over and take a look?"
Mingqiao quietly asked for the opinions of the Yayas.
It doesn’t matter.
Er Er really wants to go.
Ming Qiao looked at the back of the man in purple, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally followed him.
He followed very carefully, and he also put several talismans on himself to hide his figure.
This talisman was given to him by You Qing.
In order to ensure his safety, You Qing drew many talismans for him.
It was quiet all around, with only the footsteps of the man in purple and the sound of the cage being dragged.
He walked along, turning here and there.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally stopped.
Where he stopped was a cold pond.
Standing in front of the cold pond, he gathered all his strength and opened the heavy cage door.
The next second, he threw all the animals in the cages out.
"Eat it."
He said: "If it's not enough, I'll give you more."
After he said that, he turned and walked away, dragging the empty cage.
Ming Qiao waited for him to leave for a while before cautiously sticking his head out.
“Crunch, crunch.”
There was a chewing sound coming from the depths of the cold pond.
This sound made Mingqiao feel a little creepy.
"One, one, two, two, are you scared?"
Mingqiao swallowed and asked the Yayas.
Yi Yi shook Little Leaf. He was not afraid. He was just a little hungry.
I'm not afraid of Er Er.
Er Er slid off Ming Qiao's shoulders and jumped forward.
She wanted to see who was eating up close.
"Two, two, come back!"
Ming Qiao was afraid that Er Er was getting too close to the cold pond, so he took a few steps forward, trying to get Er Er back.
During the chase, he finally arrived at the cold pond.
In front of the cold pond, he heard clearer sounds.
There was the sound of chains struggling, and the sound of teeth chewing flesh and bones.
That sound is so scary.
Mingqiao's chubby little legs trembled. He tried hard not to let his legs go weak. He squatted down and caught Er'er.
"Two, two, two, let's go back."
Ming Qiao said in a small voice, afraid that someone might hear her: "Let's not disturb others while they are eating."
As he was about to leave, the man in purple who had just come to feed him food turned back.
Hearing the sound of the return, Ming Qiao didn't know where to run for a moment.
He could only walk a little further into the cold pond, using large rocks to block himself.
The author has something to say:
Baby: Looking for the dragon!
