Chapter 20 Reunion with Barley
The civilians in Calimdo are now making a pot of porridge. Some people have packed their bags and are ready to leave the western continent to hide in the east. Obviously, they don't know the situation in the east. Barley is a grain of rice in this pot of porridge. He took his parents, children and Sifu to take the latest airship to take refuge in the dark city in the east. Let's put aside the hotel and save his life first.
"Father, do you want to bring this?" Wheat took some of his mother's clothes and asked his father.
Barley grabbed his wife's clothes with both hands, stuffed them into the bag, and read: "Of course, this is your mother..." Although the action of holding the clothes looked rude, the blue-green hands still trembled when they touched the clothes. For barley, those clothes represented Wife.
The family packed up their things nervously and walked to the flying tower carrying the package.
Ning Chen has come to the dark city at this moment and has just accepted the queen's Jinfeng. Now he has 3,000 undead warriors available. In fact, Ning Chen is not willing to be this official at all. He does not think he has the ability to control an army, but it seems that King Sal and Sylvanas are very optimistic about themselves, so they can no longer be more graceful. The feelings are shirked.
The queen is very understanding. She specially arranged a residence for Ning Chen and Emily and her party, so that they don't have to worry about life problems, and Bonita doesn't have to sleep out with the adults.
With a sound, the door of the stone elevator opened, and another group of refugees poured in. This is a group of orc refugees, with their thick fangs and protruding. No matter how they look at it, they are not bounded with refugees, but they are really refugees.
Barley is in the middle of this group of refugees. He carried three packages on his back, carried one on his shoulders, and carried one on the other, blocking in front of his parents and children and Xifu desperately to create space for them: "Oh, let me... There are pregnant women here to let me..."
Ning Chen had just bought some snacks for Bonita from the grocer and heard a familiar voice from the crowd. He put away the snacks and followed the sound. Sure enough, he saw thick barley among a group of green-skinned orcs and was surprised.
"Barley!" Ning Chen greeted him from afar.
"Ah!" Barley finally led the whole family to squeeze out of the crowd. Before he stood still, he heard someone calling his name and subconsciously answered. At this time, he didn't realize who he was, but Xifu was very excited.
"It's Ning Chen..." Xifu whispered in her brother's ear, her eyes full of tears.
"Ah! That stinky boy?" Barley found the direction of the sound angrily, and Kaka strode towards Ning Chen.
Ning Chen was smiling and preparing to hug his old friend when he saw barley throwing the things in his hand to the ground angrily. He reached out and pushed Ning Chen: "Where did you die? Do you know how worried your family is about you? What do you think my sister is suffering like? Of course, the girl refers to Xifu. Ning Chen turned his eyes to look at Xifu behind the barley. This quiet and gentle orc girl is still so beautiful, but the only difference is that her lower abdomen is bulging.
Ning Chen's head buzzed and fainted. What's going on? He couldn't help saying it. When he heard this, the barley was even more angry: "What's the matter? Good thing you have done!"
Ning Chen recalled it carefully, as if it was really the case, and he couldn't help but feel guilty about Xifu. You said that a big girl who hasn't left the cabinet is so... evil!
"Are you here?" Ning Chen felt guilty for a while before he thought of asking the barley why they came to the dark city and looked like they were fleeing the wilderness.
"Don't mention it!" Barley sighed, "We can't live at the crossroads. Natural disasters are about to be harassed every three to five times. The scale is getting bigger and bigger. Many civilians have been killed and then become natural disasters. I don't want myself and my family to become like that. Everyone rumored that there is no natural disaster in the east, so they came..."
Ning Chen frowned: "Who said that there is no natural disaster in the east? There is a war here. I don't know how many more than Kalim. Is it a lost place? Come with me."
Sylvanas arranged a total of 4 rooms for Ning Chen and Emily, which is enough to accommodate a barley family. Barley doesn't say anything about this, but he is very grateful. You should know that those dark orcs will spend their days in the future days set up tents in the market area of the dark city, and since There is a house to live in after the airship. I don't know how much better this condition is than those people.
Ning Chen opened the door, Emily was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and Bonita crawled on the table to draw and play. As soon as the painting came into his eyes, Ning Chen had an illusion that her husband had returned home, but he immediately dispelled the idea. He was his teacher, and there were barley and Xifu behind him.
"Are you back?" Emily came out of the kitchen when she heard the footsteps, but she was stunned when she saw the barley family.
"There is an alliance!" Barley first pulled out his self-defense knife and pointed it at Emily and shouted loudly.
Ning Chen grabbed his knife: "It's the alliance and friends. Sylvanas and the undead allowed them to move in the dark city. What are you excited about?"
Barley hummed and sat on the chair and looked sideways at Bonita. The little girl also had an aura. No matter how fierce the barley's eyes were, she did not raise her head and drew her own painting.
Xifu saw all this in her eyes and knew that women were always ** about this kind of thing. She quietly pulled Ning Chen and said, "No matter what my brother said, you don't believe it. This child is not yours. I'm married, but my husband has just been killed by a natural disaster..."
"Oh..." Ning Chen was skeptical, but his heart was still much more relaxed.
Dinner was held in an awkward atmosphere. Everyone was nibbling and eating bread. No one said a word. Ning Chen sometimes raised his head to amuse everyone but couldn't find the material. After several failed amusing, he had to give up.
"Emily." Ning Chen took the opportunity to help Emily wash the dishes and followed her to the kitchen. "That barley, he is my good friend. He is very straight. Don't mind what you say."
Emily answered blankly while skillfully washing dishes: "What do you mind? What did he say about me? I don't even understand..."
Oh, yes, Emily didn't understand. Ning Chen patted her forehead and said that she was dizzy. Emily was a night elf, and barley spoke the language of the orcs. How could they understand each other? At most, it was just to capture a trace of information from each other's expressions.
"That's good..." Ning Chen hesitated, picked up a plate with one hand and scrubbed it.
"But that girl, she is very kind to you." Emily suddenly said that although Xifu did not have any eyes and language communication with Ning Chen, Emily still caught Xifu's eyes, and her eyes were lost and melancholy.
Ning Chen smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.
After dinner, the barley came to Ning Chen and helped him light a pipe. The two men spit out cigarette rings and thought separately.
"Ning Chen, where have you been these days? You haven't been home. Do you know how worried we are about you?" Barley said slowly, "Especially recently, Sifu has been almost attacked by ghouls several times. She likes to walk on the road when she has nothing to do and wants to meet you."
Ning Chen didn't say anything and thought about the completely different words of Barley and Xifu. He didn't know how to deal with this situation.
