Chapter 69: Release the Dragon Baby?
...
On a long slope, there is a group of cattle and sheep on the green and yellow turf. They are chomping on the grass roots with great effort. From time to time, they make a few complaining calls. Obviously, they are not particularly satisfied with the food given by nature.
An uncle wearing a fur hat, with a dark face showing a bit of helplessness, said to his cattle and sheep: "Some eat well."
There was originally a water grass pond under the long slope. In the rainy season, a stream will be irrigated along the top of the long slope, so that the entire long slope is covered with green grass, and you can see the flowers in full bloom. In the end, all the water flow will be injected into the lake, nourishing the woods, grasslands, villages around the lake...
Chihu Village is a relatively common grazing village in the upper urban area, and many villages also rely on such ponds.
It's strange to say that many ponds and lakes are dry, but the pond lake in this village has not changed much, the water level does not drop, you can see that a black wooden waterwheel is still running slowly beside the water.
"Uncle Zhan! Uncle Zhan!!"
In front of the village, a teenager ran to the front of the village from outside, and called out to a simple wooden house in front of the village with some uncontrollable joy.
At this time, the aunties who were washing clothes at the lake turned around, looked at the young man, and said, "Isn't this Li Shaoying, I heard from my man that you have gone to the Dragon Training Academy, no sheep, no cattle, and dragons are about to be released. ?"
"What does the dragon look like?" asked the lady in red.
"Just the lizard, the big lizard."
"Can you cultivate the land?"
"I can't."
Li Shaoying looked around and didn't see her uncle, so she had to go back to the entrance of the village and inquired about the aunts who did the laundry.
"Aunt Zhou, where is my uncle?" Li Shaoying asked.
"Your uncle, what are you asking me for? I want my man to hear it. What a tossing person?" said Aunt Zhou in a cotton-padded jacket.
"????" Li Shaoying looked at the charming lady Zhou. For some reason, he felt that the other party was not recruiting himself. Could it be...
"Your uncle went to herd in Changpo. He heard that you were often bullied in the academy. He wondered if he could sell all the cattle and sheep and get you some beads, saying that he could make you a big treasure. The big horned cattle turned into dragons... No, the weather is not good this year, the cattle and sheep are too thin, and they can't sell for good prices, so he also goes to herds on the rest days." The lady in red said.
"What kind of rest day, isn't there some official documents in the city, let us grazing people try not to run around, lest they be caught by some monsters."
"Yes, yes, my man came back from the market town a few days ago and heard that a family in Heilin Village was eaten, but it was terrifying." Auntie Zhou said.
"Won't it be scary again?" said the lady in red.
"It's true, I've been going out less recently, and tell your kids not to watch the cows or sheep. There are trolls in action, and our academy has organized all members to eliminate the monsters." Li Shaoying said hurriedly.
How could the people in the village realize it so late? It's a very serious matter!
The same goes for my uncle. What kind of grazing is there in winter? If you eat a little turf, the cows and sheep will not grow much meat, but they will be eaten by demons!
"Why don't you kill the demon?" Aunt Zhou asked.
"This..." Li Shaoying said a little embarrassedly.
"Aren't you a student of Dragon Training Academy, that is to release dragon baby..."
"It's the pastor dragon master!" Li Shaoying had lines on her black forehead.
"Well, they all said that you will be very powerful when you go to the academy, you can control dragons, and if there are monsters infested... Oh, I understand, Shaoying, you are really a good boy, you know that there is danger in the village, you Came back on purpose to protect us?" said another skinny aunt.
When the other laundry ladies heard this, they all looked over.
"Let's just say that Li Shaoying is the most promising in our village, not like that Hai family,
Being a petty official, he didn't even want to help us build some fences to keep out wild animals. "
"That's really amazing. Those who can enter the Dragon Training Academy must be different from those laity!"
"I've also heard about cannibalism. I've been woken up by the fright when I slept in the past few nights."
All the aunties praised Li Shaoying for a while, and Li Shaoying was embarrassed to hear it.
The power of the aunties is very strong in the village. Whatever they praise, the whole village praises it, and whatever they devalue, the whole village will hate and reject it.
"It's about this time, why hasn't your uncle come back." The lady in red looked at the sky and said.
"Aunt Wang, how long has my uncle been gone?" Li Shaoying asked.
"Go early in the morning."
"How do you know so clearly?" the lady in the cotton-padded jacket asked.
"I saw it."
"Why didn't you see anyone else?"
"I saw other people too..."
Li Shaoying frowned at this time.
Changpo is so big that it comes and goes. If you go out in the morning, you can come back at noon, and it is impossible to leave it for a whole day.
Thinking of what Aunt Wang said, Li Shaoying felt even more sad.
"I'll go take a look, ladies, you'd better go back to the house, the trolls are real and very dangerous. If the trolls wandering around smell your scent, they will sneak over." Li Shaoying urged.
After speaking, Li Shaoying ran in the direction of Changpo.
After running away, Li Shaoying found that the aunties were still there talking and laughing, and they didn't take the troll thing seriously, which made him even more helpless.
After all, the village is still too backward, including news.
It's not just the tragic incidents that they heard about the family being eaten. When he and Nan Ye and his team arrived at Mid-mountain City, a town was slaughtered. Nan Ye and many of the Dragon Training Academy teams went there.
...
Running towards the long slope, Li Shaoying was very anxious.
Uncle is leading a group of cattle and sheep, and cattle and sheep are also the targets of some vicious demon spirits. If they encounter a group of wolves in the plains, they are extremely dangerous, let alone monsters!
The sky started to get dark. It was only three or four in the afternoon, but it was no different from the evening. The thick clouds sucked all the light from the sky, making the vast land dark...
The wind started to be strong, and Li Shaoying followed her uncle's usual grazing route.
Suddenly, Li Shaoying saw a piece of blood, which was scattered on the yellow mud grass. The blood showed some signs of drying, and it had begun to turn brown!
This made Li Shaoying even more flustered!
Something went wrong! !
Why go to herd? It's not because of the official document, don't go out easily...
Why is Uncle Zhan always so stupid, such an old man, can't he distinguish the priority of the matter!
There was another shocking blood, Li Shaoying even stepped on her foot, slipped directly to the ground, and rolled blood all over her face.
This made Li Shaoying at a loss, not only because of the blood, but also because he saw an Aries who was bitten to death in a pile of mud...
The sheep had long since died, and the blood had spread from his feet to a dozen meters away, and there were traces of struggle along the way!
Really attacked! !
It's all my fault, why I can't cross the threshold of taking the road, why I always compete with my classmates, so that my uncle doesn't have to sell cattle and sheep, and he doesn't have to go grazing at this time because the cattle and sheep are too thin!
When Li Shaoying saw the blood, she was frightened and blamed herself, and her eyes turned red.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the fear of trolls.
Climbing up, wiping the blood from his face, he continued running towards the front...
As a pastor of dragons, there is no reason to be afraid of these monsters!
It didn't take long for the sheep to die, maybe the uncle was still alive.
"Shaoying?" Suddenly, a voice sounded.
Li Shaoying was startled, because he had just wiped the blood from his face and his vision was clear.
"Uncle Zhan!!" Li Shaoying jumped up excitedly when she saw that it was her uncle.
"Why did you come back, aren't you in the Dragon Training Academy, didn't you say you won't come back until you become a dragon priest?" Uncle Zhan asked in confusion.
"When are you still running out to graze, you will die, there are trolls!" Li Shaoying said emotionally out of control.
"You're worrying about me." Uncle Zhan's face showed a hint of relief, patted Li Shaoying with his hand and comforted him.
When Li Shaoying was four years old, both of her parents died of a cold. Uncle Zhan lived next door to his house and adopted Li Shaoying.
Unlike other children in the village, Li Shaoying always respects the outside world, and always likes to read the books she brought back from the market.
Uncle Zhan also knew that he wanted to be a dragon shepherd, instead of staying in this small place all the time, in addition to herding cows and sheep, or herding cows and sheep...
Li Shaoying cried for a while, and saw that there were no scars on Uncle Zhan's body, and there was a group of cattle and sheep behind him.
Looking at Aries who died tragically not far away, Li Shaoying asked, "Uncle, how did you get rid of the trolls?"
"What trolls, a few coyotes bit the sheep while I wasn't paying attention, but it's okay, the others are saved, otherwise the tuition will not be able to be paid next year." Uncle Zhan said.
Admission to Dragon Academy is free for the first year, but increases every year thereafter.
This system, on the one hand, is to screen out students who do not have the qualifications to become dragon pastors, and on the other hand, it also charges high fees for those rich and powerful children who are dependent on the academy to supplement some resources for those grass-roots students. .
"Uncle, I may not be able to become a dragon pastor." Li Shaoying's tears had not been wiped away, and a few drops could not help falling.
The classmates around me are either constantly advancing, getting closer and closer to the Dragon Gate, or they have already crossed the Dragon Gate and become a real Dragon Pastor. Only I am standing still, and Bighorn has no advance at all. Signs, not to mention the baby bird that he adopted.
"Be confident and remove the possibility." Uncle Zhan patted Li Shaoying on the shoulder and said.
Li Shaoying almost stepped on the muddy ground and stumbled a few steps before leveling herself.
"I have raised cattle and sheep for more than ten years. Can you not know whether a cow is a cow or a sheep? A bighorn is special, but it is still a cow after all." Uncle Zhan said.
"Uncle, you can really comfort me." Li Shaoying burst into tears and couldn't stop, couldn't stop.
"Go back, it's getting late." Uncle Zhan said.
"kindness."
