Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 4 "Gossip Stories of Epic Heroes 1 2" Part 2
The two young men took a nap after lunch, and then, in the hottest part of the day, went to the creek near the camp.

It's spring.The hottest time in the afternoon is just to take a bath.

Because Charlie didn't want people to see his red scales, the two walked upstream for a while and found an open place.That way when someone comes, they can find out.

Yuri thought at first that Charlie would go into the water with his clothes on.He didn't think it was necessary, but he wasn't going to laugh at Charlie, at most he had fun.Unexpectedly, Charlie didn't do that, but used ice to erect a half-circle screen at the bend in the water.

"Aha, learn and use!"

"Of course." Charlie stretched his body in the water, feeling the ups and downs of the water.He turned over, lay on his stomach on the bank, pillowed on his arms, took a good look at his "new armor", and then he muttered: "If you ignore that, and ignore the surprise they will cause, honestly, this It's really beautiful."

Yuri Dale: "And it works very well. I am neither afraid of water nor magma." He kissed Charlie, then his arms and shoulders, "I not only appreciate them, but I am even more grateful for them - grateful for them bringing you return."

"They were your gift to me. You brought me back."

"So - we still have to thank that bodyless guy? He forced us to perform that magic." Thanks to Nilas?

"...I'm afraid so."

"I wouldn't go out and say thank you to him. It's not for us that he asked us to form a contract."

"I won't either. It's just that, if it happens, should we do something for him?"

"Oh, you've done him a great favor—I don't mean what he threatened to do, I mean the relics, those books."

"Right."

"He even copied your ice spear technique!"

"Huh? I'm afraid that doesn't count—it's not magic I created. I just use it well."

"Okay, that doesn't count. Don't mention him. Check it out, what's it like to live in magma?"

"It's a long story."

Yes, it's a long story.

But the two guys have at least one afternoon to talk slowly, slowly.Talk about the things and people they met after they parted, and the decisions and choices they made.
-
One afternoon, the two not only exchanged their experiences after parting, Yuri also talked about his childhood.Among them were parents and siblings who looked different, members of tribes who looked different, and guests who came from different directions—and still looked different.

They didn't stay in the water for a long time. After all, it was mid-spring, and the weather wasn't hot yet, just saying that it was getting warmer. It took them most of the afternoon to sit by the stream and talk.

In the evening, the two walked back to the camp and saw Teton sitting beside the big bonfire in the middle of the clearing, pulling a few pieces of firewood, putting a small iron pot on it, and cooking soup.

"Our people are leaving tomorrow morning." When Taiton noticed that the two had returned, he turned his head and said to Yuri, then turned back and slowly stirred the soup in the pot, and sprinkled in a handful of chopped stone root grass, "I will Stay a few more days and take care of the two seriously injured."

Blackmane's hunting team spent most of the day in the camp to settle the wounded and formally collect the dead.Then tomorrow morning, the active wounded and the immobile dead will go back with the team, and the wounded who are not suitable for the fatigue of the journey will recuperate here.

Yuri nodded: "The fire should be lowered. It will dry too fast."

Charlie looked at Yuri without opening his mouth.

Yuri noticed it, and looked back at Charlie with a frown.

Tayton looked at the water vapor escaping from the pot, then at the soup in the pot, followed his advice and took out two pieces of charcoal, and topped it with firewood.

Seeing that he was done, Yuri said slowly, "Where is Nagu? I want to ask him some news."

"In the stable."
-
Nagu had just finished brushing his kodo and was arranging the ornaments hanging from the saddle.

Charlie looked at the Kodo carefully: "Is that the tip of a spear?"

"Yes, the spear tip of a centaur. There are also the canine teeth of a large beast." Yuri smiled slightly, "Speaking of which, I should have a share of those last night."

Nagu tied the last knot and jumped off the Kodo: "Yes, you have a share, and it's at Haya's place. I sent it to you just now, and you two are not here."

He speaks Tauren.

Yuri nodded: "Thank you." Translated for Charlie.

Charlie didn't want to tell Yuri that he understood in front of Nagu—it would appear that Yuri didn't know him well enough, so he accepted it with a smile.Right to enjoy.

"It's us who should thank you." Nagu answered in a distorted lingua franca, then shrugged unbearably, "Oh, my lingua franca is not good, so he should rely on you to translate. You come to me, Not just for the tip of the spear, right?"

"I want to ask about the iron horn. For example—" Yuri took a breath, "Is my mother okay?"

"After that time, my eldest brother raised me. You know, he was in the Black Mane Department. I didn't go back much. I heard from Lumpa and the others that every winter everyone secretly worried that she would not survive, and every spring I saw her go out to fight. Water, grazing." Nagu shrugged, "Speaking of which, you still call her 'mother'? You went to the human beings—although it was not voluntary—didn't you find your biological mother?"

"I found it. I saw it too." Yuri folded his hands on his chest, "But what do you mean, do you have to change your words?"

"Oh, I didn't say that." Nagulian shook his head, "Sorry, that's not what I meant."

"Okay, I accept."

"So, will you come with us tomorrow?"

"Uh, no, it will be a few days later."

"Why? She'll be glad to see you."

"I—I want to get some presents."
-
The two bid farewell to Nagu and returned to the room.

After Charlie entered the door, he fetched water to wash his face and asked Yuri, "What gift?"

"Well?"

"You told Nagu that you wanted to get some presents for your mother."

"That's just an excuse. They suspect that I might be a spy, so I don't want to go with them. Especially if they have to take those orc messengers with them." Yuri spread his hands, "Of course, a gift is a good idea. Maybe , get two bags of salt, and find a Kodo... By the way, do you understand? The tauren language I speak to Nagu."

"Yes."

"Oh!" Yuri was very happy, "So, you are a language genius? Could it be that you learned it when you were a child? Will children be taught this in the human kingdom? Of course, the education of nobles is very comprehensive... Could it be that in the morning? Learn the language of the elves, and learn the language of the tauren in the afternoon? Sitting in the last row of the room, there is a girl among the classmates, whose hair smells like roses."

"What?" Charlie laughed just now, and was surprised again, "Scent of roses?"

"Countess. You said it when they asked me in the twilight."

"It's just made up to fool them. Let them despise me, let them think they have seen through things that I don't even know."

"not true?"

"No. Of course not."

"Oh." Yuri blinked, "I should have asked."

Charlie laughed: "Are you unhappy then? For that girl?"

"No, because the girl will not be my rival in love. I'm just curious, curious about you, and want to know more. But, since it's something about your hometown, and it belongs to the part you don't want to mention, don't ask I didn’t expect it to exist.” Yuri was so funny that he shook his head, and then he stopped suddenly, “Check—is the girl you made up inspired by a handsome little boy?”

"No." Charlie twisted another cloth towel, approached Yuri, and wiped his face, "It was fabricated from the perspective of the questioner, combined with the way the noble children of the Kingdom of Lordaeron learned Salas. Yes. There is no prototype."

"It's like this." Yuri enjoyed it quietly, wiped his neck with Charlie's hand, then he put the cloth towel on the table behind him, took Charlie's hand, looked into his eyes, and said expectantly, " So, what was your childhood like?"

To talk about this topic, just holding hands is not enough.Charlie stepped forward, put his arms around Yuri, and put a pillow on his shoulder.

Yuri regretted it immediately, and quickly hugged back: "So unhappy? Don't say it if you don't want to." He kissed Charlie hard: "I asked a bad question."

Charlie didn't say anything, and took a deep breath.

Yuri was distressed: "Check?" He rubbed his cheek against Charlie's temple, thought for a while, touched Charlie's lips, nodded, and then nodded his shoulder, "Do you want to bite?"

Charlie was amused, and laughed a little, but couldn't laugh out loud, just stuffed in his chest.

They embraced each other, even with a muffled laugh, they would pass each other through vibrations.

So Yuri was relieved, stroking Charlie's back to comfort him, and then changed the subject: "Let's go get salt tomorrow. There are saline-alkali lands in the mountains, but it's quite far away, and the salt produced is not good and bitter. Sea salt Very good. Here to go to the sea, with your flying carpet, more than enough for a day. Then there is only one question - check, can you get the salt out of the sea?"

"It doesn't sound difficult."
