Neighbors in forbidden land

The slightly transparent sea reflects the blue sky, and the white sand and stones are deposited in this vast sea. Only when the sea breeze blows, can you see the calm sea surface rippling like round ripples.

Wu Shao's eyes crossed the sea, straight through the distant horizon, probably looking at the human beings on the other side of the sea.

"I'm actually thinking... how do I go back?" Wu Shao, who was still full of energy, became depressed the moment he came to the beach, as if he was worried about how to go back.

After all, under the leadership of Yimi and I, her task of scouting the forbidden land was basically completed, and Yimi also learned a lot of knowledge from her that I couldn't understand at all.In general, she has no reason to stay here anymore.

"Can't you swim back?" Just after my question came out, Wu Shao's depressed mood seemed to become even more depressed, and Yimi, who was standing beside me, covered her mouth with her hand and smiled softly laugh.

"Swim back... Sister Black Pearl, this is an ocean that needs to be crossed, not a lake that can be seen at a glance... When I came here, it took about ten hours with the wind..."

"Then use a boat?" I remember that when Yimi was sent here last time, he came here on a large wooden boat with many masts.

"My ship has fulfilled its mission. After sending me here, I was smashed to pieces and sank forever in the icy sea..." Wu Shao clenched his fists tightly, as if he was recalling something he didn't want to recall. "However, what I didn't expect was that the environment here is so bad that there is not even a single tree that can barely make a boat for a bamboo raft. Do I really want to swim back like Sister Black Pearl said..."

I could see Wu Shao's face slowly turning pale, trembling and looking at the sea in front of him.

As for the tree... leave this land and go north.

"If you want--"

As a result, before I finished speaking, Yimi stretched out a hand and pressed it on my shoulder, and then smiled at Wu Shao: "Do I still need to use a boat? I have a way to take you back, speed It's still very fast, it won't take more than ten hours at all."

"Really? What method?" Wu Shao trotted back to Yimi's side as if seeing hope, rubbing his hands and asking Yimi.

"The method...Little Gu!" Yimi squeezed out a smirk from the corner of his mouth, and then called Xiao Gu's name.

"No way..." Wu Shao's complexion became even paler the moment Yimi's words just fell, as if she had lost blood.

Not long after, the arrival of Xiao Gu broke the tranquility of the sea as usual. The vortex turned into tiny water droplets and erupted from the sea surface, sprayed in all directions like an explosion, and finally fell to us like raindrops.

Xiao Gu's white eyes were exposed from the surface of the sea, and the rest of the body was submerged under the blue sea. Standing on the shore, one could see the huge shadow of Xiao Gu's body in the distorted sea due to the constant churning.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrr? (Call me?)"

"Let Xiao Gu take you back, that's all. Now you don't even have to prepare food." Yimi smiled brighter and made this suggestion, but she still couldn't get used to Xiao Gu's dancing spoon and shook her head tremblingly. .

"No... I've tried my best to eat together every day... It's better to let me go back with it—"

"Why don't you swim back? Are you sure?" Yimi with a relaxed smile interrupted Wu Shao with a face full of fear.

"..." As a result, Wu Shao, who was suddenly silent, was visibly shaken, the expression on his face was ever-changing, and some vain eyes were constantly wandering between the smiling Yimi and Xiao Gu, who only showed two eyes.

"Don't worry, as long as Xiao Gu sends you to the deserted coast and lands, no one will see you." Yimi's words completely "shattered" the expression on Wu Shao's face, He showed an expression as if he had given up on everything.

I used to think that Yimi's expressions were already very rich, but I didn't expect that there are people with richer expressions than Yimi.

Humans are indeed a group that I can hardly imagine.

"Your Highness Yimi, are you sure it will send me back... instead of taking me as rations on the way?"

"Of course I'm sure, isn't it Xiaogu?" Yimi smiled and called Xiaogu, so Xiaogu slowly floated her huge head out of the water.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrer" (Are you going to play together today?)"

"Look at Xiao Gu, she said yes."

"I don't think Xiaogu is—uh—" I interjected, but before I could finish my sentence, Yimi covered my mouth with my left hand.

"Your Highness Yimi, can you understand what it said?" Wu Shao narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression at this moment was very similar to Yimi's back then.

This kind of look is called "doubt".

"Of course, I'm a local." Yimi leaned her face closer and whispered the next words in my ear, "Is that right, Xiao Hei?"

A faint breath rushed to my ears, and I always felt that I could smell a familiar smell with my nose.

"Uh-uh--" Although Yimi was asking me, she didn't let go of the hand that blocked my mouth, and I could only make a single sound.

These words were originally what I said to Yimi.

"As expected of His Highness Yimi..." Although the expression on Wu Shao's face was still full of hesitation, he still believed Yimi's words.

"Little Gu! Send Wu Shao back there!" Yimi smiled and waved her right hand to Xiaogu, but Xiaogu just blinked her big white eyes at Yimi.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (Come and play, I haven't played for a long time.)"

The conversation is still not on point.

"Then... how to do it?" Wu Shao's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, trying his best to look up at Xiao Gu who was looking down on us from a high position.

"Xiao Hei, let Xiao Gu send Wu Shao back, my words... definitely don't make sense." Yimi leaned slightly to my ear, and let go of his left hand covering my mouth.

"So Yimi, you know that Xiaogu didn't understand what you said..."

"Of course I know... go." Yimi's hand slid onto my shoulder and gently pushed me towards Xiaogu.I slowly walked under Xiaogu, raised my finger and pointed at the dancing spoon, and said in a low voice: "Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Hoo.

Xiao Guru blinked, looked at the dance spoon, and looked at Yimi and me: "Guru Guru? (Are you here to play?)"

"Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho. (You come back and play together, remember not to get too close to humans, or you will be hurt.)"

"Gulu Gulu. (Wait for me.)"

"Roar. (Hmm.)"

So, Little Goo turned around and lifted his body covered with blue-black scales out of the sea, signaling Wu Shao to climb up.

But Wu Shao didn't move.

"Don't worry, I tried it myself, it's very stable." Yimi shouted to Wu Shao from behind.

"..." But Wu Shao still didn't move, just staring at Xiao Gu's huge body.

"No problem." I tried to imitate Yimi's words and encouraged Wu Shao, "Little Gu will send you back safely."

After a while, Wu Shao nodded stiffly, and then put his hand on the blue-black scales that were densely covered on Xiao Gu's body.He looked at Xiao Gu's head as if confirming, and found that Xiao Gu had no other movements, he swallowed slightly and gritted his teeth.

He rolled onto Xiao Gu's body forcefully.

"Isn't this possible?" Yimi's approving voice came from behind.

"Ha, ha ha..." Wu Shao smiled helplessly, then supported Xiao Gu's body with both hands, and turned his face to look at us, "Then...His Royal Highness Yimi, sister Black Pearl, I will Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

As a result, before she finished speaking, Xiao Gu turned over with a violent movement, coiled her body in a circle, and then rushed out towards the south.

Wu Shao's unfinished words finally turned into a loud and elongated scream, which was finally drowned out by the sound of the sea tide raised by the little goo. Feet, watching the figures of Xiao Gu and Wu Shao getting smaller and smaller in the field of vision, until they turned into a black dot and disappeared on the horizon in the distance.

"Pfft..." Yimi, who raised her hand to cover her mouth, smiled softly, "I can tell by the voice that she is no better than me, I really want to see what it is like... Last time I was caught What a mess..."

It seems that Yimi deliberately asked Xiao Gu to take Wu Shao back, because——

"Why don't you let me send Wu Shao back?"

In my case, the speed is no slower than that of Little Goo, and Wu Shao is obviously afraid of Little Goo, but not me.

What's more, I should be able to avoid humans better than Little Goo, and send Wu Shao back there.

"I just hope that someone can experience the same feeling as me. Xiaogu's movements are really rough..." Yimi put her hands behind her back and smiled lightly at me.

"Is that so..." I slowly walked back to Yimi.

As a result, Yimi suddenly raised her hand and touched my face as if she was groping for something.

Her fingers touched my face, and a slight feeling rippled from Yimi's fingers.

"Yimi?"

The next moment, Yimi's hand went directly behind me, and then pulled me into her arms.

A large number of inexplicable sensations poured into my body, chest, back, face...every skin in contact with Yimi was feeding back various information to me, and those information that I could not understand at all passed through my body. The senses of touch and smell spread out in my body and converge in my mind.

Like a kind of flower that I have seen far away, it blooms under the sun and buds under the moonlight.

Being hugged by Yimi is... that feeling... right?

"Yimi?" I tried to call her name softly again, because I didn't know why she hugged me suddenly.

"I just hope that someone can experience the same feeling as me..." Yimi repeated this sentence again.

Who did you say this to?

————————————————————————————————————————

"We might get potatoes a little further out."

This is the conclusion Yimi came to after thinking about it.

"Because Wu Shao said that it is very difficult to eliminate salinity only through irrigation, so I think we should go to a place far away from this land to find a piece of land that does not require us to adjust."

In this way, simple fertilization can be carried out, which is also what Yimi said.

"Little Gu is still here, I will not easily decide to leave, here is a basic stronghold. It's just because Xiao Hei you are very fast, isn't it, then go to the place we choose every day to manage potatoes and then fly It should be easy to come back."

Yimi sighed long, moved her hand to my head, and stroked my long white hair.

"And, I think it's time for us to go somewhere else, the two of us together."

So, I took Yimi and flew north again.

The goal this time seems to be to explore whether there is any suitable land for potato growth.

"At least not like the stronghold, you can see the white salt seeping into the ground... Xiao Hei, you should know that is salt, right?"

"I know now."

"..."

So I took Yimi and flew northward, and came to a place where trees grow.

The trees here are no longer as lush as in the distant past to be called a "forest", but they show more vitality than the land in our stronghold.

The fairly thick trunk has a little peeling brown bark, and rough lines meander along the surface.Qiuke unfolds towards the sky, and the light green leaves are wrapped with small white flowers blooming on it.

Most importantly, at least the white powdered salt and twisted vines are no longer visible on the ground. Instead, there are leaves all over the ground, and the full green and dry brown overlap on the ground.

After I landed slowly, I made sure Yimi was firmly on the ground.

"Here, there should be no problem..."

I tried to ask, at least the distance from the stronghold is not too far, and there is no salt on the ground, which seems to meet Yimi's requirements.

Yimi scraped the ground with her toes, then slowly squatted down, picked up a leaf with her fingers and rubbed it lightly.

"There are leaves here..." "It seems that they all fell from the trees." I looked up at the trees around me. There were not many leaves on the branches, but they were still growing.

"It's fallen so much..." Yimi instead stroked the ground with her palm, and finally pushed away the layers of fallen leaves before seeing the brown soil, "It looks like it was hit by rain or wind. Falling..."

"Probably……"

After all, here, no matter how you say it, the weather will not be much better.

Because this place is still a "forbidden place".

"Is there a mountain here?" Yimi raised her head slightly and asked.

"Yes." I looked around, and I was still surrounded by mountains when I got here.

The mountains that were once lower than me must now be looked up.

"I really want to grow potatoes in caves...but I don't dare to light a fire..."

"Huh?" Is there another way to say this?

"I asked Wu Shao... Theoretically, the light and heat of the flame can replace the light and heat of the sun, except that there will be some problems with the effect... If the flame is not well controlled, it is very likely that the potatoes will be burned... ah Ah..." Yimi slightly raised her hand and pressed it on her forehead, rubbing it lightly, looking a little frustrated.

Just at this time.

I seemed to see a red light flashing past nearby.

I seem to remember something.

In the distant past, lived in this world.

It is also protected by the great fairy Lena.

I hurriedly ran along the place where the light flashed, ignoring that my legs, which I was not good at using, could not maintain my balance while running, so I rushed towards the light.

As a result, the body fell directly to the ground, raised piles of leaves, fluttered in the air and landed on me.

"What's wrong? Blackie?"

Yimi who heard the movement turned her head to my side, and I was lying on the ground slightly curled up, confirming the light shining in the palms of my closed hands through my fingers.

The red light like a ball flickers like a flame, and the hazy heat expands in the palm of my hand.

Goblin.

A little fairy who can bring about various phenomena as long as it exists.

"Yimi."

"Ok?"

"Perhaps... there is a way."

————————————————————————————————————————

"Yimi named this side the stronghold, it's a place to rest and get in touch with Goo, but the potatoes are to be planted in the land to the north.

But if there is this goblin who can bring fire and warmth, it should be possible to grow potatoes in the cave.

But here...why is there a goblin?

No.40 thirty-five thousand seven hundred and ninety-five days. "
