I am Lapland’s rat!

Page 308

It was her own will that prompted her to make this decision.

And Wu Xian actually supports going back to Texas——

Well, we can't go back. According to Wu Xian's understanding of the original plot, the butterfly effect caused by what they did in Tremont is far from reaching the level of affecting the father-son conflict between Salvatore and Giuseppe.

What if Texas and Lapland just left like this? Not long after, news came from Colombia that her grandfather had been killed by her father, and then a little while later, Mrs. Sicily was furious, and Texas The family is going all out, and everything about Giuseppe Mosedi Giorgia has become a mess. What should we do in Texas?

De Gouzi can still smile now, and Wu Xian doesn't want to never see Texas' smile again.

She must go to Cast Iron City, even if it is to support Texas and her father's ascension to the throne. It is the right thing to prevent the Texas family from being liquidated in the future.

Since Salvatore has now sent a family letter to Texas, it would be a good idea to settle the matter here before heading on the road.

——2:1, supporting Lapland who simply closed his eyes and ran away from home without caring about anything, lost.

……

After that, the group of rats and humans turned back from Casimir. At this time, the natural disaster cloud lingering between Casimir and northern Colombia had naturally dispersed long ago. It was a few days' drive in a straight line from the trade road.

Back in front of us, the radio fight between Lapland and Texas ended with Texas pulling out the power source of the radio first. Wu Xian waved his paw at the camping pot twice and called Hei Tan twice. , Heitan immediately used his magic, and Void opened the hot pot lid.

White water vapor rose up, followed by a strong aroma of feathered beasts. Wu Xian signaled to the cooking assistant Hei Tan again, and Hei Tan used magic to fetch the salt bag and spice bag beside him. According to Wu The dosage Xian described was poured into the pale white feather beast soup one by one, and then he threw down the edible tubers of some wilderness plant that he had cut before.

At this time, Texas and Lapland stopped arguing. They put the radio away and looked at the feathered beast soup in the camping pot together.

Wu Xian signaled Heitan to close the pot lid again. Large amounts of steam disappeared under the black pot lid, and only a few slowly floated out from the holes punched in the top of the pot lid.

The two of them chatted with Wu for a while, then they saw a slight breeze blowing under the starry sky, causing the flames on the cooking stove to tremble, and the figures of people and mice reflected on the tent behind them also swayed.

After 5 minutes, the tubers added later are also cooked.

Lapland impatiently stretched out his hand to open the lid of the pot, but then retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted.

Black Tan, who was still invincible, lifted the lid of the pot and put it aside. Texas brought dishes from the side and divided the meal between the two of them, and then they each immersed themselves in eating.

"...Xiaoyin's cooking skills are really good." Texas sighed softly while eating.

LaPland agrees, but the way she expresses her agreement is different from Texas.

"Any more?"

Wu Xian: "?"

Are you going to steal a big chicken leg from me?

……

"Actually, life like this is quite comfortable."

After eating and drinking, Texas leaned back on the camping chair and began to plug the batteries out of the radio back in.

"Don't you want to go back to Cast Iron City yourself?" Lapland glanced sideways at Texas and chuckled.

Texas knew that Lapland knew what she was going to answer, so she simply did not answer Lapland, but asked easily:

"How's things going in Tremont?"

Wu Xian blinked. He had been lying on the camping table trying to sleep after eating and drinking. He also stood up and looked at Lapland.

According to the driving distance, they should be arriving at Cast Iron City in about one day.

Within this range, they should already be able to receive wireless signals from Colombia's intercity network.

Wu Xian was also curious about the situation of Jeston, the others, and Miu Miu after they left.

Lapland chuckled and sighed: "Kristen, Seria and Muir Seth sent me more than 70 messages and emails in total."

"Every time I turn on the communicator, I feel like what a sinful woman I am."

Wu Xian: "?"

Texas: "...specifically?"

"To put it simply, Rheinland Life acquired the assets of Silver Wolf Security, and then Rheinland Life's equity changed, and Mr. Ya Jue became the first shareholder." Lapland briefly summarized, this is different from Wu Xian and Texas It was pretty much what Si expected.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Yin should have a good relationship with Mr. Duck Jue, right?" Lapland looked at Wu Xian and smiled.

Wu Xian blinked and shook his tail: "Zhushu, I think if I really want to see Duck Lord right now, Duck Lord might appear from the grass over there."

...Um, maybe coming out of their tent?

Wu Xian couldn't help but picture a scene in his mind of Duck Lord emerging from the tent with a look of shame on his face. Just thinking about it made his claws itch.

"This puts me at ease." Lapland raised the corner of his mouth and said, "They really want me to go back, and Mulseth said they can't do it without me. It seems that I am still very important."

Since making the decision to yearn for freedom, Lapland has been able to accept recognition from others more naturally.

"If you want to meet, we can meet again when the Cast Iron City Achievements Exhibition is held." Texas stretched and said, "The Cast Iron City should be the seventh one, right? If we stay in the family for a while, we can go there By that time, we probably won’t be able to leave yet.”

"That's true." Lapland chuckled, "And there is dear Dorothy waiting for us in Cast Iron City."

Oh yes.

Wu Xian's eyes suddenly lit up.

He is suddenly very interested in this trip to the Cast Iron City!

it is good!

"Look at Shushu, how I can show off my power in Cast Iron City and give Texas and her family the most perfect ending!"

Chapter 3 Cast Iron

So, one day later.

As one of the oldest industrial city-states in Colombia, Cast Iron City looks like a lonely and old warrior, with its outer walls covered in scratches and weathered.

Although Wu Xian still didn't understand the status of the Texas family in Cast Iron City, when he was a little uneasy, he noticed that they didn't go through any inspection at all when they entered the border inspection station. Instead, they walked out carrying large and small bags. When the staff entered the city through the passage, they also understood that in the Cast Iron City, at least Texas would not have to suffer the usual troubles when returning home.

If the streets of Tremont were full of vitality like a dream city, then what appeared in front of Wu Xian's eyes at this time was another scene.

After leaving the border checkpoint, you can see a lot of passengers lingering in front of the checkpoint, carrying large and small bags.Under their feet, the pavement tiles were slightly cracked, mixed with years of accumulated dust and irremovable stains, giving it a heavy hue.

You can also see well-known Colombian brands in the shops on both sides of the streets in the city, such as daily necessities supermarkets and fast food restaurants. The plaques at their entrances have the same artistic calligraphy and promotional posters as the Tremont branch.

This also highlights the fact that Cast Iron City is still an important industrial center in Colombia, but Wu Xian always feels that this city is very slow compared to Tremont.

You may find it strange to use this adjective for a city.

However, when you see the clerks in well-known fast food restaurants standing lazily behind the counter, only answering slowly and seriously when customers ask;

When you see an old man returning home with a hunched body on the street, pulling a small trolley filled with vegetables in his hands as he slogs forward on the sidewalk;

When you see young people talking softly even after school, occasionally gathering in a group to chat, or spreading out to buy their own food, you may also describe the scene in front of you in the same way. .

……

And this was already the thought Wu Xian felt on the streets of Cast Iron City after he got into the car where the Texas family's driver came to pick them up.

The driver of the Texas family was very professional. Even when he saw two rats jumping into the car with the wind and sand of the wilderness, he did not say anything except hello.

More than 20 minutes later, the car stopped at No. 6 Gratius Street in the central area of Cast Iron City.

Texas got out of the car first, so Lapland and Wu Xian followed suit with Hei Tan.

When his paw fell on the sidewalk, Wu Xian couldn't help but look forward——

His eyes passed through the exquisite iron railings in front of him. Among them was a very large mansion in the central area where land was at a premium.

The mansion in front of him has a full Syracuse architectural style - at least that's what Wu Xian thinks. There is a main building and two auxiliary buildings inside the mansion. There are not only gardens, party squares and pavilions, but also large areas of luxury. The lawns, artificial trees, paths and landscape stone tables even made Wu Xian think that this was a scenic spot invested by the government.

It's a pity that this is a private residence.

Wu Xian noticed that "Texas Mansion" was written in Syracuse on the right doorpost of the door.

When Texas took Lapland and dragged their luggage to the door of the mansion, it was already approaching evening.

A bright sunset appeared on the west side of the sky. In the slightly darker light, the concierge confirmed the visitor waiting at the door.

"Miss Chelinina, welcome back."

A man in a black suit, who didn't know whether he was a valet or a family member, respectfully opened the door for the two of them.

"Master is already waiting for you."

Texas nodded calmly and handed the luggage to the concierge casually, and Lapland followed suit.

Seeing the concierge who quickly called another person and then struggled to carry all the luggage, Lapland raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled:

"Thank you."

"This is what I should do, Miss Saluzzo." The concierge said quickly and respectfully.

……

It seemed that the news of Cellinina's return had spread throughout the mansion. Wu Xian followed the footsteps of Lapland and Texas and walked on the path to the main house, looking left and right along the way.

Whether it was the maid sweeping the fallen leaves with a broom or the staff walking through the roads carrying bags, they couldn't help but stop what they were doing after seeing Texas and respectfully talk to the little boy who had returned from the trip. The host said hello.

"As expected of a big family, it's so extravagant."

Wu Xian was complaining in his heart, but he actually didn't notice at all that Texas, who was very down-to-earth in both Onnor and Tremont, was treated like a young lady at home.

Well, the eldest among the eldest.

In the dusk, the two of them walked towards the main entrance of the manor's main house.

When Wu Xian saw an old man standing there at some point, his mood became a little more serious.

Of course, this was the first time Wu Xian saw Salvatore, the Texas grandfather, the legendary family helmsman, and the one who only appeared in the memories of many plot characters in the original plot. He has a lot of tragic history, but in the end he... A persistent old man who died in a dishonorable murder.

However, in front of him, this old man Lupo did not have the brilliance and perseverance that Wu Xian had imagined. He had the same hair color and eye color as Texas. He just stood quietly in the open door of the main room in the dusk. In front of the door, the wrinkles on his face were almost motionless.

Just like an ordinary old man waiting for his child to come home from school.

Wu Xian: "..."

Wu Xian looked at Texas and saw Texas taking two steps forward and walking in front of Salvatore.

Salvatore's eyes softened a little, and he opened his arms slightly: "...Celinina."

Texas was silent for a while, then stepped forward and gently hugged Salvatore.

"grandfather."

"Welcome back." Salvador Lei said warmly, "It's been a hard journey."

"……Um."

Salvatore let go of Texas, who took two steps back.

At this time, Salvatore turned to look at Lapland.After he noticed Lapland, he first lowered his head and glanced at Wu Xian. Wu Xian noticed that the old man's eyes were very deep, and he had no idea what Salvatore was thinking.

Wu Xian winked at Salvatore.

Salvatore nodded slightly, and then looked at Lapland again.

For a brief moment, he hesitated to speak.

At this time, Lapland blinked innocently.

Suddenly, the white-haired Luper girl also opened her arms slightly: "Am I coming too?"

Texas: "?"

Salvatore: "?"

Chapter 4 Grandparents

Well, in the end Salvatore didn't really hug Lapland.

Salvatore was stunned by Lapland's words, and then the old man smiled:

"Lapland, can I call you Lapland?"

"Okay." Lapland nodded indifferently, "After all, you are Chelinina's grandfather."
