Luo You leaned slightly, his muscles tense, as if he was carrying the entire burden of his body.
He turned his head with difficulty, trying to find a suitable angle to look at Somo.
Finally, their eyes met and they looked directly at each other.
Luo You's brows furrowed slightly. He tried to read more information from the other party's eyes, but the other party showed no signs of weakness and responded to him with the same firm gaze.
The two looked at each other quietly, as if they were engaged in a silent contest, and the atmosphere became extremely tense and solemn.
The three people who were joking not far away immediately fell silent and got together after noticing this strange change.
In just a few seconds, their minds raced through several plots.
“Tsk, tsk, does this scene look like the young master of a wealthy family escaped and was found by the butler?”
“You mean Brother Ji is a butler?”
"Well, I didn't say it, I just said, doesn't it feel a bit like it?"
"I don't think so. It's like brothers who had a conflict over something and agreed not to have any contact with each other until they died. Then they got rich and then felt bad about it, so they came to save their brother who was in trouble."
< br>"Hey, it does make sense to say this. If the two of them have deeply loved the same woman, then the taste will be corrected."
"Hey, no wonder this boss Ji treats those two children You have such a good attitude, can you say..."
The three of them whispered to each other and couldn't help laughing as they talked.
I really don’t blame them for thinking so, but their current behavior is really strange.
After about a hundred meters forward, Luo You breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head back.
"Do I have any other choice?"
"Of course, if you choose to give up, then I will turn around and leave now." Sumo looked at the room that was already lit with fire in the distance, He said softly:
"The things I gave to the two children should be regarded as my apology for coming to the door rashly."
"Huh? Why?" Luo You's tone showed a hint of surprise. It could be heard that Sumo was not telling lies, and his intuition kept telling him that if he chose to give up now, this mysterious man would really turn around and leave.
This result was a bit beyond Luo You's expectations.
Since the other party was able to find him and learned that he was actually studying the language of a foreign race, he must have put a lot of effort into the investigation. If he left now, he would not be able to recoup the initial investment.
Do I really have a fourth master and a cousin?
In Luo You's mind, perhaps only true relatives can do this.
At a certain moment, he felt that even if the man behind him was not his cousin, he must have some relationship with him.
"It's very simple. We have a common enemy. I need you to join me to better deal with foreign races."
"But if I kill you in turn, or hinder what you are doing now, Wouldn't that help the enemy get rid of a big problem?" Su Mo said with a smile.
Unconsciously, everyone had walked through the lush paths and returned to the earthen house where the Luo family lived.
After the two children made sure that the surroundings were safe and there were no hidden threats, they started to get busy spontaneously.
Start the stove and take out the bacon jerky that the family has been reluctant to eat for a long time, intending to help this cousin who has come from afar.
This kind of kindness and understanding that needs no words is deeply heartbreaking.
"How did you know that I studied foreign languages?" Seeing this scene, Luo You's thoughts finally wavered.
If his leg had not been broken, he would never have left so rashly with a stranger.
But now, with him as a drag, the two children are going to be in much more trouble than they imagined.
Maybe sometimes he should stop being selfish and consider other people's feelings.
"Is it important?"
"It's really not important, but I want to know."
"As long as you go to my territory, I will tell you the answer right away."
Before coming, Sumo had guessed that these smart people might have some quirks, and even his face might not be able to be painted.
But no matter what these people think, they should all go back to the territory.
At that time, even if these people still insist on leaving or making other choices, he will still be able to give them appropriate help.
This is both a help to humans and a weakening of alien races.
"Your territory? Are you a lord?"
"Yes, the purpose of my coming out this time is to find some people like you."
"Rare "It's really rare. This is the first time I heard that a lord would come out to find someone by himself." Luo You smiled, and he probably understood the size of the other party's territory.
As for the lord of their reed field, the territory is less than 20,000 people, and it is difficult to see the lord once every ten days and a half.
The leader of the Starfield Alliance, Luweidang has never met a real person since he joined the alliance.
After such a comparison, he guessed that Somo's territory might only have a few thousand or ten thousand people.
Maybe less, taking that rare elite route.
On the World Channel, Luo You saw advertisements for territories that only select top talents more than once.
There are often only a few thousand people in their territory, but their development speed far exceeds that of a territory of 100,000 people, and in some aspects can even rival that of a territory of one million people. And because there are very few burdens, they are not limited by size and can better focus on a certain aspect.
As for the lords of these elite territories, they are basically different from ordinary people.
For someone like Sumo to work alone, he could be found in the vast sea of people studying foreign languages.
At first glance, it seems a bit outrageous, but when you think about it carefully, the various behaviors are very consistent with the portraits of these elite lords.
"If I take my two children with me, I won't be discriminated against when I go to your territory, right?" After confirming his idea, Luo You began to worry about other things.
The biggest reason why elite territories develop so fast is that there are no burdens to hold them back.
He asked himself whether he could keep up with the progress with his two children, but it was hard to say whether others would think so.
"You always want to protect them, but without your daughter today, I'm afraid you don't know what you have to endure to escape. Face the reality, this is a wasteland, you think you can protect them For a lifetime? "
Sumo can understand a father's desire to protect his children, but he also needs to give the other party some reminders to avoid any bloody situations later.
The reason why he came to Luo You at the first stop was because father and son were all rare talents.
Luo You is extremely observant. Not only can he decipher foreign languages, he is also a natural scout.
The younger daughter Luo Jiao has a calm temperament and strong analytical skills. Only when paired with Luo You can she repeatedly inflict heavy losses on foreign races.
As for Luo Xiang, judging from the data, this kid can be regarded as a mini version of Feng Long, and he also has high training value.
Before he accidentally leaked the information and killed Luo You because of his recklessness, he was just an ordinary squad leader, with a bit of fighting talent that ordinary people would envy.
But after Luo You was attacked and killed by a foreign race, he suddenly transformed into a qualified commander.
Until the future disaster of the ruins is over, he is still active on the Long Banner front line and is one of the generals who is good at commanding assaults.
Now I don’t know if it was Luo You’s lameness that made Luo Xiang enter the maturity stage early.
Anyway, even according to the information, without Luo You, the two of them can still live better than ordinary people.
"I"
"Okay, pack your things, we will set off tomorrow."
Seeing Luo Jiao coming out, Su Mo raised his head and smiled: "Be careful, don't let the two children find out. They are not as naive as you, and they are always having unrealistic fantasies."
Innocent?
The first time someone said this, Luo You smiled bitterly and did not refute it.
In a sense, he is indeed quite naive.
In fact, these people upstream and downstream of the reed swamp are jealous of their harvest for more than a day or two.
But Luo You has always felt that jealousy is jealousy, and these people will not take action because of it. In addition, due to the recent stability of the Hoshino Alliance, the security is much better than usual.
However, the result was a slap in the face.
It was his naivety that put the family in danger.
If Sumo hadn't appeared in time, I don't know what kind of trouble it would have caused in the end.
Right now, he was still naively thinking about how to protect his two children, but he ignored their thoughts.
Sumo revealed the reality so nakedly, which not only made him feel uncomfortable, but also had to admit it from the bottom of his heart.
"Push your father in, my cousin has brought you some other gifts."
The three old horses brought over the things they bought on the pier in time. Luo Jiao looked at After taking one look, he said in surprise: "Wild boar!"
Compared with fish without fat, wild boar with skin is obviously more attractive.
Luo Xiang also ran out after hearing this, and the raised corners of his mouth were even harder to suppress than AK.
However, neither of them was in a hurry to receive the gift, but looked at Luo You.
After receiving a slight nod of affirmation from the latter, he happily took it and rushed into the kitchen.
"Don't worry, uncle, there is some seasoning here, you can use it too."
In addition to salt and chili, bottles and jars of soma are taken out. Six cans.
The jar containing the crushed multiflora spores was so fragrant as soon as it was opened that everyone present shivered.
Not only Lao Ma and the other three couldn't take their eyes away from their sweet eyes, even Luo You also swallowed his saliva physiologically.
At the same time, this scene further allowed Luo You to verify his judgment.
Only those in elite territories would pay so much attention to food and bring so many condiments with them when going out.
Ordinary people are wrong. How can ordinary territories have this kind of attention?
Everyone is still troubled by how to eat enough, and further enjoyment is completely nonsense.
Crack.
Pa.
The firewood was burning in the stove pit, making crisp explosion sounds from time to time.
While cooking, the three of them went out diligently and walked around, taking the initiative to take on the responsibility of sentry.
Sumo was sitting in the corner, chatting with Luo You.
Because the two children were around, Luo You did not ask too explicit topics, but asked vaguely about something that interested him.
For example, the current situation in the wasteland, the game between large territories, and the next development direction.
At first Sumo was happy to answer, but soon he discovered that Luo You was simply a curious baby.
An ordinary piece of clothing made him question all the way from the collection of raw materials to the selection of weaving techniques, paying no attention to every detail.
"No. Although I am a lord, I don't know everything."
Sumo raised his forehead and shook his head. He thought to himself, shouldn't these things be studied by the little players in the territory themselves?
He could barely understand the weaving process of the first generation. Later, after several market competitions, the threshold became higher and higher. There were several stacks of technical information alone.
And I heard that players on the crafting enthusiast route have already figured out how to make clothes with special attributes, and have also distributed a lot of them on a pilot basis for players on the scavenger route to test.
If you tell all this to Luo You, this guy doesn't know how many questions he has to ask.
"Let's talk about fishing. How did you find so many fish in the nest?"
"It's very simple." Luo You said naturally: "I deciphered the language of some frogmen. From their I learned there that there is a drug called "frog meal". After diluting it in water, it can instantly attract fish to gather and catch them. Unfortunately, I was not able to find out how to make it. I could only study their finished product and finally copied it and produced a weakened version. Frog gathering. ”
The food of frogmen is fish, but of course they don’t fish honestly like humans.
Using special drugs to attract fish to gather and then feast is a must-have skill for every frogman if he wants to survive.
But unfortunately, not all frogmen are qualified to know how to make this special medicine.
At least the few frogmen Luo You first observed and studied were not qualified to know how to make this drug. They could only trade it from other frogmen for use, thereby establishing an exploitative class in the entire frogman group.
“What about your leg?”
“After one drink and one peck, I discovered the wonder of frog gathering. In order to find out the specific method of making this medicine, I tried to catch several frogs in a row. A frogman came over to interrogate him, but he didn't expect that one time he would force a confession from the frogman." Speaking of this, Luo You turned his head and looked at Luo Xiang, who was busy in front of the stove, and said with a relieved smile:
"Go over. It's useless to regret after everything has passed. It's better to learn these lessons and prepare for future actions. In short, there is no room for relaxation between humans and aliens. Perhaps from the moment I started targeting them, it was destined to be the same. Ended up the same way.”
“Extend your legs and let me see.”
Sumo lifted up Luo You's disabled left leg, opened his trouser leg and saw the shocking injury underneath.
Just at the fascia connection below the knee socket, there was a huge bite wound across it.
Judging from the size and shape of the row of fine holes in the wound, it just fits the frogman's fangs.
Although the surface of the hole has been scabbed and healed, and bright red flesh has grown out, the bitten fascia cannot heal naturally, resulting in the left leg being unable to exert force and in a semi-disabled state.
Of course, this is also a blessing among misfortunes. The frogman's bite force is not strong, so Luo You can barely keep the entire leg. If it were a crocodile man, he would probably bite off the whole leg.
"You're lucky, you only broke some fascia, and your subsequent recovery is pretty good."
Sumo pressed back and forth, especially the wounds, and stopped before Luo You cried out in pain.
"Then can I still be cured?"
This is the first time I heard that someone did not give some euphemism to express that the leg was disabled after the examination.
Luo You was stunned for a moment, and then looked over suddenly, his face full of hope and desire.
I could have endured the darkness if I had not seen the light.
From a normal person to a disability suddenly, he can almost be equated with a burden.
Including today's situation, if he was in good health, the two of them could calmly jump into the water and swim away.
But the other party seized on this, which put them in a dilemma and they could only survive in the cracks.
Even with two children present, Luo You still had the thought of committing suicide more than once in the dead of night.
"What identity are you asking me for?"
"Identity?"
Luo You was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted: "Lord, can I still cure this?"
"It depends on how you behave next. After all, I don't run a welfare home."
The words fell.
Sumo smiled, and Luo You, who was sitting opposite, also laughed.
He had to admit that this was definitely the best news he had heard in more than two months since he became disabled.
No one.
Even if he is only allowed to restore his most basic mobility, Luo You is confident that he can achieve great results.
"Dad, cousin, Uncle Ma's meal is ready. Come over and eat."
"Okay."
People feel refreshed when happy events occur.
In the past, Luo Xiang had to support him to get out of bed, but today Luo You insisted on using the crutches by himself.
I realized that Luo You's mental state suddenly changed. The two children were lying if they said they were unhappy.
When he looked at Somo again, his eyes changed from the initial closeness to more admiration.
This cousin who appeared out of nowhere is simply the savior of their family!
