Chapter 71 Golden Blue Bird
The most spectacular scene in Winged Beast City is the cunning and bizarre Floating Cloud Island. Although there are many buildings on the ground, they are no match for the magnificent and mysterious picture in the sky.
I don't know how these birds and beasts built a physical house in the clouds. The Floating Cloud Island is connected to the ground at an angle, and there are countless chains binding the sturdy wooden ladders, but no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look very safe.
The four of them changed into clean clothes and looked nothing like the bandits who burned, killed and looted.
Feng Zhi spent three goldfish to rent a wooden house below the Winged Beast City. The house was clean and simply furnished, just like a modern rough house. Fortunately, the house was spacious and bright, with no peculiar smell.
The third brother worked hard to put all the large and small packages in the sled in the house. When the second brother saw this, he rushed over to help and put away all the things needed for daily use.
The eldest brother crushed a bowl of disgusting-looking herbs, which were sticky and mixed with some water, which made them look healthy.
Le Zhi thought to himself that this disgusting thing was obviously meant for him to drink, so he ran away.
How could Feng Zhi give Xiao Si a chance to escape?
The thick scorpion tail hooked Xiao Si's clothes, so that Le Zhi could only kick his legs continuously in place.
Feng Zhi comforted him, "Brother has already reduced the amount of water. Just drink the medicine, cover yourself with animal skin and have a good sleep."
Xiao Si turned around resignedly, took the small bowl, looked at the green bubbling medicinal paste inside, and the root of his tongue secreted saliva in crazy resistance.
She swallowed, closed her eyes, held her breath, and suddenly raised her head to drink everything in the bowl.
The bitterness was secondary. This herb had an indescribable grassy smell that was so strong that Lezhi's sense of taste was almost blocked. He swallowed hard and managed to suppress the nausea in his throat.
Le Zhi squinted her eyes, with some tears in the corners of her eyes. Her brother reached out and wiped them dry for her.
The eldest brother learned from his younger brothers' lesson and decided not to let Xiao Si run wild at home. He took a piece of animal skin, wrapped Xiao Si up into a cat-worm with distinct segments, and coaxed her to sleep like a child.
Lezhi was annoyed by being pestered, and his body started to feel hot right after he took the medicine. It was summer now, and sweat started to appear on his forehead after a while.
She said tentatively: "Brother, I'm hot, I can't sleep with you holding me like this."
Feng Zhi refused firmly without even lowering his head.
"You have to sleep even if you can't. You have to sweat after taking the medicine so that your illness will heal. You have caught a cold and it hasn't gotten better. Take advantage of the time you have to recuperate today and rest quickly."
Seeing that his eldest brother was unmoved, Le Zhi had no choice but to give up. He looked at his second brother for help, but found that he was busy moving things and didn't even look at him.
Not to mention that the third brother is a fool. It is more realistic to watch a sow climb a tree than to expect Xuezhi to help.
The girl cursed her three brothers one by one in her heart. She felt so hot that her head started to feel dizzy.
"Big brother is bad..."
When Le Zhi fell asleep, he mumbled unconsciously.
The eldest brother looked at Xiao Si lovingly, pinched the sweat oozing from the tip of the girl's nose with his rough fingertips, and then held it in his mouth.
No taste...
Although the orcs in Winged Beast City are arrogant, they are very friendly to female beasts, even to Le Zhi, a stranger from a foreign land.
"Good day, little one, would you like some fruit to try?"
"Your eyes are so beautiful, little cub, as bright as sparkling gems."
"Oh yeah, what race of orc are you? Your skin is really white."
Le Zhi was carrying a bag full of food, and he turned around and said with a smile: "I am a cat, and I love to eat birds and animals like you!"
However, no orc felt unhappy, as they all knew that the little guy liked to joke.
A family of strange creatures came to the lower city these days. They were all strange creatures that hid during the day and came out at night. Only the little cub in the family would run to the nearby area to exchange some food during the day. It looked pleasant and was a rare female beast.
They all care about the little cub and are so sensible that it is hard to dislike them.
Le Zhi wiped her hands, took the berries Uncle Yan Zi gave her, politely gave Uncle Yan Zi a handful of dried fish, and hurried home. On the road, a tall and thin young man, who didn't know how to walk, bumped into Le Zhi who was busy walking.
Lezhi's bag fell to the ground, and the poor fruits rolled all over the floor. She was so angry that her teeth were itching.
"Hey! Why did you bump into me?"
The young man looked very weak, his body swaying from side to side. It was likely that he would fall if the wind blew again.
His voice was unpleasant, hoarse and piercing, which did not match his age at all.
"Sorry, sorry, I'll pick it up for you right away."
The young man bent down and picked up all the fruits on the ground with his not-so-clean hands and returned them to Le Zhi.
Xiao Si didn't rush to reach out to take it. She saw a long bleeding scar on the young man's skinny face, extending from the corners of his mouth to the base of his ears. It was actually a cut caused by acquired factors.
Le Zhi held up the bag in his hand, motioned him to put the things in, and asked in confusion: "What's the matter with the wound on your face? Do fights often happen here?"
The young man waved his hands hastily and explained, "You'd better not ask too much. The upper city and lower city of Winged Beast City are two different worlds. Now that I have lost my most precious singing voice as a golden blue bird, it is normal to be treated like this."
Le Zhi didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but she felt that something was fishy, so she picked up two fruits and threw them to the young man.
"Eat this. You are so skinny. Don't just run away. One day you can torture the people who bullied you back. That's the right thing to do."
Le Zhi didn't care about the expression on the young man's face behind him, and just walked away with the bag.
The young man held two white peaches in his hand and looked at the girl's departing back in confusion.
He said, "Are there still such terrible cubs now? How could the nobles of the upper city be tripped up?"
Le Zhi went home with the bag in her arms, her arms aching. She kicked the door open and shouted, "Brother, I'm home!"
The eldest brother sat at the table with his eyebrows lowered, drawing something.
The second brother was sitting on a chair, playing with a tether using his spider silk. When he saw the fourth brother come home, he quickly got up to pick him up.
Le Zhi threw the bag to his second brother and looked around the house, but he didn't see his third brother.
She asked, "Where's the third brother? Why isn't he at home today?"
The second brother pinched the fourth brother's sequined lips, signaling her not to delve into it, and whispered, "The third brother was sent out by the eldest brother to do some work. There has been a lot of commotion in the upper city recently, and no one knows what happened. Haven't you seen that there are more guard-seeking beastmen in the city? Go and find out, third brother."
Le Zhi nodded blankly, pulled his second brother to sit down at his eldest brother's table, and said quietly: "I went to the street to exchange fruits today, and I met a bird-tribe orc on the way. He bumped into me and looked quite miserable. Before I had time to get angry, I saw that his mouth was cut into a slit, which was quite scary..."
Hua Zhiliu narrowed his eyes dangerously, and his elder brother's expression also became a little strange.
Feng Zhi: "Crack? Xiao Si, did you really see it clearly?"
Le Zhi thought about it carefully and nodded vigorously.
Huazhi was shocked and quickly lifted Xiaosi from the chair and looked him around.
He asked in panic, "What the hell! Xiao Si, he didn't touch you, did he? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Tell Big Brother quickly!"
Le Zhi was a little confused by this, and it took him a long time to speak: "No, you didn't touch me, and I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere. Are you possessed, second brother?"
Feng Zhi's cold voice frightened Xiao Si so much that he started to tremble with fear.
"It's a common method used by the people in the upper city. The rift is a curse that can be spread through blood..."
Le Zhi shuddered. What? A curse?
So awesome?
