I Built a Home on the Back of the Black Tortoise

Chapter 21: Only a god can understand.

Mino carefully cooked breakfast, and went out of the hall to the courtyard, ready to call Mu Liang for breakfast.

At this moment, Mu Liang was sharpening a piece of wood with his saber, and two sharpened boards were placed beside him.

“Mu Liang, it’s time to have breakfast.” Mino leaned forward.

She tilted her head and asked curiously,” What are you planning to do?”

“Making a drawing board.” Mu Liang put down the wood in his hand.

He shook off the debris from his body, got up and said, “After breakfast, I’ll go to the camp.”

Before that, Mu Liang had already woken up the snoozing rock-armored turtle with his mind intent in advance and told it to head to the camp.

“Why are you going to the camp? Everything was moved back.” Mino blinked in surprise.

She asked suspiciously, “Shouldn’t we follow the thief scouts?”

“Don’t you want to leave something for your sister?” Mu Liang said and entered the hall.

He sat by the fire pit and asked, “What if your sister suddenly comes back to the camp to find you in the future?”

The young girl’s life experience was still too little, he had to be responsible for guiding a little.

“It seems so.” Mino nodded in hindsight.

She only thought of going to her sister by herself, but she didn’t think that she would really come back one day, so what should she do?

“Think about it and leave some messages that only your sister will understand.”

Mu Liang looked at the pot of broth and thought to himself that the girl had finally started stealing.

“That’s something I’ll have to think about.” Mino saw Mu Liang’s expression and knew what he was thinking.

She handed over a wooden bowl of soup and said helplessly, “We don’t have much water left, so we can’t support it for a few days without saving some.”

The girl saw that Mu Liang had been busy all night, which was why she had cooked so much broth today.

Otherwise, breakfast now would be a small grilled lizard, with a bowl of water.

Mu Liang took the broth and said with ease, “There’s always a way.”

“I hope so.” Mino cutely rolled her eyes.

She served a bowl of broth and sat by the fire and ate absentmindedly.

The broth was almost finished, but the girl still hadn’t thought of what message she should leave to her sister.

Mino blinked her blue eyes and asked for help: “Mu Liang, what news do you think I should leave for my sister?”

Mu Liang had already thought about how to answer: “Did you make any promises when you were young?”

“As agreed, my sister asked me to wait for her to come back.”

Mino’s blue eyes flashed a hint of sadness. Now that the Blood Beard thieves were attacking, the promise could no longer be fulfilled.

“What about a secret code? Or some secret that only you guys know.” Mu Liang made another suggestion.

“A code word?” Mino’s eyes lit up.

“What kind of code word can open the door?” Mu Liang was quite curious about what the young girl would use as a code word when she was a child.

Mino’s eyes flashed with memory, and she said, “My secret code is a long-eared rabbit, and my sister’s code word is a short-eared cat.”

The young girl used to be small and had to stay at home and her sister had to go out to catch little lizards, and she was afraid that the girl would be in danger at home alone, so she thought of a secret code, she could only open the door if the secret code was a match.

“Then you can draw a picture of the image of the code word, and draw all the messages you want to leave to your sister.”

Mu Liang put down the wooden bowl and cut two pieces of white cloth with a saber.

Mu Liang had been in this world for eight or nine days, and he didn’t know if the characters in this world were Chinese characters.

He had also never seen the written words, but the words spoken were in Chinese.

“Wouldn’t it be too wasteful?” Mino looked at the white cloth and felt a little distressed.

“The message to your sister is more important.” Mu Liang waved to the young girl.

He took the piece of cloth out of the hall, pinned the piece of cloth on the drawing board, and prepared to draw a picture that could be remembered using the sketches he learned when he was a special force’s soldier.

Mino obediently followed him out of the hall.

“Take it and draw it. Use charcoal to draw what you want to express.” Mu Liang handed over the drawing board with the cloth pinned to it.

“How to draw?” Mino took the drawing board in a daze.

“You can draw what you want on the ground and then paint it onto the piece of cloth.” Mu Liang suggested.

He took another drawing board, nailed the cloth, and sharpened the charcoal on the stone.

“Oh.” Mino learned to sharpen the charcoal, squatting and not knowing how to start.

Mu Liang glanced at the edge of the camp, and his mind stopped the rock turtle.

He turned his head to look at the girl whose rabbit ears were entangled, and said with a smile, “Mino, draw a long-eared rabbit to represent yourself, and use a short-eared cat to represent your sister.”

“That’s right.” Mino suddenly realized and sat on the turtle’s back and started drawing.

Mu Liang held the drawing board and sat on the edge of the turtle shell above the turtle’s head. He visually observed the composition of the camp.

“Sha Sha Sha Sha~~”

The charcoal was scratched on the white cloth, and little by little the entire camp house and its surroundings were drawn in.

It took more than two hours for Mu Liang to complete the painting called “Hometown”.

“Done.”

Mu Liang wrote the word ‘hometown’ in the lower right corner of the painting.

He put away the drawing board and returned to the girl who was seriously drawing and looked at her drawing board.

“……” Mu Liang’s mouth twitched, and he suppressed a smile.

The girl was a true soul painter, and she belonged to the abstract painting school.

She drew a rabbit with a long face and a crooked mouth that was showing all his teeth and a short-eared cat with long legs and small eyes, a huge turtle with a grinning man was standing on its back.

The only decent house was the one that followed the outline drawing on the design drawing.

The above were all the things that appeared in the girl’s painting.

The young girl’s painting skills were comparable to the children of Earth’s kindergarten.

“It’s finally done.” Mino wiped her cheeks happily, leaving four-finger black marks on her cheeks.

“Can you explain to me what the painting is expressing?” Mu Liang said with a forced laugh.

“No problem,” Mino said with great interest.

The girl pointed at the characters in the painting and explained seriously: “I didn’t wait for my sister to come back at home, so I left with you to find my sister. If my sister comes back, she can come after us. The goal is Little Black Turtle.”

“It seems to be the same.”

After listening to the explanation, Mu Liang looked at the painting and felt that he didn’t understand it at all.

Forget it, he didn’t think the girl’s sister could come back.

The reason why Mu Liang wanted to do this was just to give the girl, a thought.

In reality, it was so cruel. In just four years, the young girl’s sister would have returned long ago.

“Isn’t it? I think my sister can read it.” Mino held up the painting happily.

“You take down the painting, put it in a wooden box, and then bury it in the camp’s house.” Mu Liang’s mouth twitched slightly.

He complained inwardly: “If your sister comes back, she would be a god if she could understand it.”

Mu Liang had the urge to keep the girl’s painting, obviously, it was black history.

“Okay.” Mino happily ran to get the wooden box.
