Chapter 37: Initial Village
The hometown of Wangcheng and Gu Yun are almost located in the farthest north and south corners of the continent. Even though the ice dragon has the fastest flying speed among monsters, the journey took a day and a night. When they arrived at their destination, the sky had darkened again. In the deep forest, wooden fences outlined the outline of the village, smoke rose up, and under the cover of the crescent moon, the torches pointed out the road ahead for them.
Anling originally thought that the landing of the Ice Dragon would cause an uproar, but the reaction of the villagers to see Bing Dragon proved that she was still too young. Even the old lady who was drying clothes at the entrance of the village just looked up and glanced at the giant figure that was enough to match the small half of the village, and then continued to calmly tap the bedding on the clothesline with her cane.
The first time it landed smoothly, the Ice Dragon's body size shrank by more than ten times, becoming only one head taller than them.
When it was walking upright with its thick legs, An Ling always felt that this posture was funny and a little cute.
After entering the village, the old lady calmly met Gu Yun.
“Welcome home.”
Just a simple greeting, not like a reunion with someone who has been missing for more than ten years.
Gu Yun became much more enthusiastic, "Oh, it's my mother-in-law. How are you in good health after I leave?"
When she heard the word "Mother-in-law", An Ling was like a thunderbolt from the sky. She had to stare at the old man who was not tall and always had a hunched back.
Among all the stories told by Gu Yun, the mother-in-law appears second, second only to everyone's best friend, Bingyuan Mammoth. In the number of appearances of mother-in-law, most of them play the role of food poisoning.
Gu Yun mentioned the importance of his mother-in-law to him more than once. His cooking skills were exchanged by his mother-in-law. In order to repay his mother-in-law's kindness, he would share with his mother-in-law as soon as possible whenever he returned with a full load, his mother-in-law would have a 50% chance of being sent to the village potion shop due to food poisoning.
"Since you left, I've been much better."
The mother-in-law's words immediately confirmed Gu Yun's guess, but it was hard for her to imagine why the mother-in-law who was sent to the potion shop by Gu Yun many times could still get along with him calmly. If it were someone else's words, it would be difficult for her to reunite with the poisoner.
"Who is this?"
The mother-in-law's eyes turned to An Ling who was following Gu Yun.
"My name is An Ling." In order to prevent Gu Yun from spitting wildly, he destroyed the first impression she left to the villagers, An Ling chose to answer, "I am Gu Yun's good friend. I often hear him mention you. This time I finally have the opportunity to visit you with him."
In fact, when she got off the dragon's back, An Ling re-took her clothes and hairstyle.
This is perhaps one of the most important visits in her life. Although Gu Yun never mentioned his parents in the story, he could not rule out the possibility of meeting in the village.
At least, we should leave them the first impression that "this little girl is not bad."
“ho.”
The mother-in-law issued an onomatopoeia of unknown significance, and the eyes of her looking at the two finally changed a little, "It seems that you have finally grown up."
After saying that, she glanced at Binglong behind Gu Yun with an understatement, "Take the ingredients to the tavern, many people in the village mention you from time to time. Really, they are young and more sentimental than me, the old woman."
It seemed to be to confirm the boss's words, the guests who were drinking also waved to the door.
"Yo, savage."
"Long time no see, savage."
"How are you doing lately, savage."
I suspect you are actually bullying Gu Yun!
"But this is the first time that the savage has taken the girl back to the village."
The tavern owner looked at An Ling with a smile, "I am a rough man and I don't know how to talk much, so I have something to say."
"Um."
"When are you planning to have a baby?"
