Chapter 56
A big chapter of four thousand and six, please support me.
"Ah...it's so hot!" Meng Xuan told Luffy when he was a child that the reason why dogs stretch out their tongues in summer is because it will be much cooler. So now Luffy seems to have learned the lesson. .1kanshu
"That..." Ace pointed at Luffy's current appearance, but he couldn't laugh or cry. Ace naturally knew who taught this thing. But Mount Kolbo has never been this hot even in the summer, so Luffy naturally has no chance to practice this thing, but now there are so many outsiders - they are outsiders to him. What Luffy did made him feel a bit...
"Ace, there is something I still want to say." Meng Xuan didn't pay attention to the others. As soon as they entered the desert, two people fell down - Chopper and Mengyu. So now there are two people lying on the wooden board, but Meng Xuan has put a sun visor on the wooden board where Meng Yu is lying, and there are two pieces of gauze on both sides. The sun shading can ensure the circulation of air while ensuring sun protection. Compared with the simple wooden plank pulled by Sauron, the wooden plank pulled by Mengxuan weighs more than one hundred kilograms alone! One can imagine how much space Mengyu has inside. Later, Nami and Weiwei even got in! Luffy, who also wanted to join in the fun, was kicked out.
"Huh?" Meng Xuan's face was serious, and Ace gradually lost his joking expression.
"If you are not your opponent, remember not to show off." Meng Xuan glanced at Ace, but did not explain the reason.
"Oh?" Ace looked at Meng Xuan calmly. "No matter who it is, anyone who dares to offend my father's majesty, I will not let him go! Meng Xuan, please stop trying to persuade me. If you really treat me as a brother, how about cooking a barbecue for dinner tonight?"
"Okay..." Ace has a very stubborn temper. Not only Ace, but all four of them have stubborn tempers. Once a decision is made, no matter who persuades it, it will have no effect. "Then let's have a drink in the evening!" The desert was cold at night, so Meng Xuan specially hid a bottle of strong wine. I originally thought about getting Mengyu drunk at night, but now I thought about it and decided to drink it with Ace.
At this time, the melee between Luffy and others attracted Ace's attention again. At this time, Luffy did not have any dignity as a captain, and the others did not seem to respect Luffy as a captain. Ace looked on coldly at all this. Only Weiwei noticed Ace's behavior inadvertently.
When they arrived at a rocky place, it was already evening. Weiwei saw that it was already getting late, so she agreed to Luffy's request to take a rest. The rocky place was indeed the best resting place in the desert. Because there is no threat from quicksand here, you can find a place to take shelter when a storm comes.
"Go away!" The ratio of people around the two fires was too obvious - because he wanted to drink with Ace, Meng Xuan also set up a fire to grill meat, but when the smell of Sanchi came out, Except for Mengyu who still stood firm, even Ace who wanted to have a drink with Mengxuan shamelessly betrayed him. Meng Xuan glared at Ace who was pretending to be innocent, then took a sip of the wine and handed it to Meng Yu. Do you think my barbecue is not delicious? Then don't even think about drinking my wine! So Ace, who shyly asked for a drink, was kicked out by Meng Xuan.
"Get away! Stay away from the barbecue!" Almost indistinguishably, a roar came from Sanji's side. Luffy was already starving. He wanted to steal a piece of meat while Sanji's attention was attracted by the other two women, but he was kicked out by Sanji who had noticed him for a long time! Sanji is a chef! He didn't allow anyone to touch the food before it was cooked, otherwise it would be disrespectful to his cooking skills. As soon as he drove Luffy away, Sanji immediately twisted his waist and used a disgusting voice. The flattery in it was a bit nauseating! "Miss Nami, Miss Weiwei. Just wait a few more minutes. Please wait a moment..."
"It's so hot during the day, why is it so cold at night?" Nami and Weiwei shivered and huddled next to the fire. During the day, Nami wanted to tear her coat to pieces, but now she wanted to thicken it.
"During the day, there is no shade in the desert, so it will naturally be extremely hot. At night, the sand cannot retain heat, and the temperature will quickly drop from degrees to minus ten degrees. Around." Although Weiwei is an indigenous resident, she is also a princess. She should have stayed in a heated room in such a cold weather, but outside at this time, the cold would not be merciful to her just because she was a princess. Hugging her body tighter, Weiwei felt slightly better. "Besides, there are other unexpected dangers in the desert. But for brother, it must be a very good place..." As he spoke, his eyes turned to Meng Xuan, who was still standing beside his barbecue.
In Mengxuan's arms was Mengyu. The dryness and cold were not good for Mengyu. Although she didn't expend much energy during the day, just fighting the heat was enough to make Mengyu lose all her energy. At this time, in Meng Xuan's arms, Meng Yu quickly fell asleep. Eat? During the day, Mengyu suddenly discovered that she was the fattest among the three girls! So a certain woman who was afraid that her position would be taken away had already started dieting!
After a hearty meal, the temperature dropped even lower. The most comfortable person at this time is Chopper. He originally lived on Drum Island in winter. For him, ten degrees below zero is the most comfortable temperature. Otherwise, how could he have the leisure time to count the stars? So Usopp, who was still laughing at Chopper during the day because his fur was a burden, was squeezing next to Chopper with a flattering expression on his face, hoping that he would let him hold him to sleep. Luffy and Zoro also had the same intention. Meng Xuan took a sip of the wine and threw it into the hands of Ace, who also had a flattering face. Immediately, he carried Mengyu to the other side of the rock to sleep. Everyone who thought Meng Xuan was going to do something collectively looked at the wall and thought about it! With so many people and such cold weather, don’t always think with your lower body!
"Mr. Ace, do you feel weird?" Meng Xuan held Meng Yu on the other side. Meng Xuan's cloak wrapped Meng Yu tightly, so Meng Yu would not feel cold naturally. Meng Xuan had stayed here for a few days, and had even stayed in winter islands in other places that were more difficult. Naturally, he won't be frozen by such cold. Seeing that Ace was still expressionless as always, Vivi thought that Ace was angry that everyone didn't give Luffy the respect he deserved as a captain. So when there was no one around, I came to Ace's side.
"What?" Ace looked up at Weiwei.
"Luffy." Vivi smiled. "I thought it was incredible when I first met him. He didn't look like a captain at all. At first I thought the captain was Mr. Bushido or Brother Mengxuan, but later I realized that I was mistaken. Usually on pirate ships Captains are the most respected people. For example, just because they drank a little water during the day, all of them can make trouble like that. But..." Weiwei turned to look at Luffy, but her face was full of trust. . "If you get along with him for a long time, you will understand him completely."
"Haha..." Ace pressed his hat, his tone no longer so serious. "This is Luffy. We grew up together. Of course I know him better than you. But because of his temper, he has many friends around him since he was a child. For example, Meng Xuan, who bullied Luffy back then. Among people, he is the most ruthless. He uses medicine every time to treat Luffy like a human being. But once someone else bullies Luffy, Meng Xuan will definitely make that person regret it for the rest of his life. My idiot brother He has an unusual charm about him."
"Haha..." Weiwei showed an expression of relief on her face, but after thinking about it, Meng Xuan is also Luffy's brother. If Luffy is really being bullied now, then Meng Xuan must have taken action long ago, right? After hearing Ace's words, Weiwei suddenly felt that her worries were unfounded.
"You must think I will be angry, right?" Ace laughed. "Don't worry, I know this brother very well. What I want to say at this time is to thank you for taking care of my brother."
Five hours passed quickly, because the sleeping time was nearly an hour longer than that at sea, and Meng Xuan was very energetic. Mengyu also woke up early, but when Meng Xuan didn't wake up, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Meng Xuan's long beard. As soon as Meng Xuan's eyelids moved, Meng Yu immediately closed her eyes like a frightened little rabbit, but her eyelashes that kept shaking made Meng Xuan feel funny. Although I am often called a big piece of wood, it seems that I am not that stupid, right?
However, the weather was indeed a bit cold at this time, and Meng Xuan didn't want her to get up so early. Gently taking off his shirt and placing it under Meng Yu's head, Meng Xuan started his daily training. When Meng Xuan just walked away, a small hand gently patted her tall breasts. Meng Xuan grinned but did not make a sound.
"Look, Xiazi!" By the time it was almost time for Meng Xuan's training, Luffy had already woken up, and the originally quiet desert immediately became noisy. Five minutes later, as a small thing was found by Luffy, the noise immediately reached a small peak.
"Is this a shrimp?" Chopper next to him also looked at the little guy in Luffy's hand with excitement.
"This is a desert shrimp!" Usopp touched his long nose with certainty. "I just don't know if I can eat it?"
"Luffy, throw that away!" The only tent belongs to Nami and Weiwei. The other person who is eligible to enter has fallen asleep in Meng Xuan's arms a long time ago, so the empty tent is not so Warmth, but Weiwei had been woken up by the cold a long time ago. Coming out of the tent in a daze, Weiwei saw the "shrimp" in Luffy's hand - what kind of shrimp was that? That is obviously the most poisonous desert scorpion in the desert! "This is a scorpion. Just one sting from its tail will kill you!"
"Oh..." Luffy turned around and was about to throw the scorpion away, but his other hand pinched the scorpion in Luffy's hand.
"How could you throw away such a cute thing? This time you are punished by God!" It was Meng Xuan who took the scorpion. He had collected several scorpions here two years ago, but due to lack of time, Meng Xuan did not collect them. I never expected that Luffy's luck would be so incredible that he could even encounter one while playing! "Although this thing is poisonous, it is a very good medicinal material that can treat many diseases." He slowly explained the effects of scorpions, and Chopper, who was still trembling with fear, gradually lost his fear. After all, he is a doctor by profession and is very interested in things that can cure diseases.
"I'm sorry, I should have told you earlier." Weiwei said embarrassedly.
"Well, let's find a place to hide first. It seems that a sandstorm is coming." The air flow is very strong. Mengyu is the most sensitive, while Qiaoba has already heard. Combining the information obtained by the two, Meng Xuan, who has been a man for two generations, Of course you can guess what is coming. I encountered this kind of thing more than once when collecting herbs in the desert, and I almost finished the game several times!
"right……"
"Stop talking, I know you have to apologize. But the first priority is to find a rock to hide. Hey, you are hiding behind the rock, not standing on it, let's talk about you Luffy!"
The desert is magnificent and quiet, at least when there is no wind. Naturally, Meng Xuan and Ace were the first to wake up from the sandstorm. The two of them pulled out the rest one by one like pulling out carrots. The one who suffered the most serious setback was naturally Mengyu, a water person. At this time, she was completely weak.
After that, a series of things happened. First, Luffy wanted to eat, but Sanji wanted to ask Weiwei for his opinion. At this time, he had just advanced less than one-tenth of the distance, and it was still too early to eat, so Weiwei naturally did not allow it. After that, Luffy wanted to rest again, but now there was sand everywhere, and there was no shade. Weiwei didn't agree, but he only allowed him to rest and have a meal when he reached the next rocky place. Luffy immediately asked everyone to guess the game, and whoever wins will get to carry all the luggage! Then Luffy, who had never liked losing since he was a child, made his move after everyone else took action. Naturally, he won everyone in one fell swoop, and he was the only one to carry the luggage. Mengyu? Meng Xuan didn't dare to leave his wife to this guy!
Usopp determined the direction of the next rocky place through the telescope, and Luffy immediately rushed out with full health, but came back soon - there was a group of dying birds there!
"right……"
"Stop talking, you're a hindsight girl!" Meng Xuan tapped Weiwei's forehead hard. Some idiot must have been deceived again! Carrying the board behind him, Meng Xuan rushed over. Sure enough, all the luggage was gone! Luffy once again refreshed the lower limit of his IQ in Meng Xuan's heart...
"Is that a group of birds over there?" Ace pointed to a place at the exit of the rocky ground, where a group of white-feathered birds were enjoying the water that belonged to them.
"Shave!" Meng Xuan appeared unexpectedly among the birds, and Meng Xuan immediately caught one. At the same time, he gave the stolen water to Mengyu - after a sandstorm, Mengyu was severely dehydrated!
"Meng Xuan, I also want to drink water!" Luffy saw that Meng Xuan was strong enough to drink water so quickly, so he naturally started to play tricks on Meng Xuan.
"I know. I don't know how many lifetimes of sins I have caused for such an idiot brother like you!" Meng Xuan never thought of himself as a kind brother. If Ace hadn't appeared as a kind brother, he would definitely Too lazy to pay attention to Luffy's idiotic behavior!
Meng Xuan chased after him, and soon got a good thing - a desert lizard! It's just that the big lizard is far different from the image Weiwei usually sees. The big lizard that should be very ferocious is now carrying Meng Xuan and a camel with a flattering face! And what the camel was carrying was Luffy's lost luggage.
"Crack!" A bigger lizard came out! Luffy, who had been starving for a long time, rushed over! Followed closely by Sanji and Zoro!
"As soon as they took action, I felt a little sympathy for these big monsters..." Desert lizards come out in pairs to forage, and the bigger one is male. It's so big, it would be a pity not to eat it. The cooking work is naturally handled by Sanjishi. And the camel over there actually developed a friendship with Chopper.
"Mengyu gets on the camel." Seeing that Meng Xuan wanted to come up, the camel grunted and disagreed. Meng Xuan directly punched the largest stone on the rocky ground, and then made gestures with his fist on the camel's head, and the camel had to agree.
The big lizard was carrying everyone's camel, and sitting on the camel were Nami and Mengyu. Meng Xuan? He was so heavy that the camel fell directly to the ground as soon as he got on it...
The camel has now been transformed into a perfect place to escape the summer heat - the wooden boards originally used to pull Mengyu have been turned into sun visors, and the gauze has been converted into a mosquito net. The rest of the people sat on the big lizard, so everyone's footsteps were more than five times faster? However, during this period, he met a bounty hunter named Scorpion. Although he was very good behind the scenes, he threatened to challenge Ace, but in fact he was just a father trying to save face in front of his children. But Ace got an important message from his mouth - Blackbeard had left Alabasta and went to the west. So the three brothers, who had only been together for a few days, separated again. Before leaving, Ace gave his life sheet to Luffy and Meng Xuan.
