Quiet night, surprisingly quiet.

This is not the first time that this lifeless situation has shrouded the heads of the Atlantean remnants, and many people have long been accustomed to it, but tonight's silence made Qianrou's heart feel extremely depressed.

At this time, she only felt the biting cold wind rushing in from all directions through the cracks in the tent, hitting her body with a piercing pain, and this pain that did not manifest itself in her body caused Qianrou to be in a very irritable and tired state.

In reality, Qianrou does feel powerless about anything.

When Jim breaks into her tent and tells herself that Lird is gone, a great sense of powerlessness sweeps over her.

Although Qianrou immediately showed her tough attitude after that, it was only a manifestation of her own unique "lustful inwardness", and only by showing toughness could some people be jealous of themselves and let them not act too rashly. But even so, his toughness won't change anything.

For a whole day, there was no movement of Lird's whereabouts, and the teams sent out returned one after another, but the content reported was the same, which made Qianrou feel inexplicably disappointed, looking at the faces that could not surprise her, Qianrou only wondered, are these people really undiscovered, or are they all hiding something from themselves?

Qianrou couldn't ask about this, and even said that she didn't dare to ask.

Everything can only be left to the flow.

At the same time, Qianrou remembered that someone had reported to her before, that there was a very fierce gunfire in the mountains and forests last night, and from that estimated time, it happened after Lird's disappearance, and the time point between the two was very wedgesome...

Thinking of this, Qianrou's heart suddenly twitched, and an indescribable sense of pain occupied her entire heart.

Was Lird really in the midst of that chaos? So what happened to him now? Could it be...

Qianrou didn't dare to think about the next thing.

After a long silence, Qianrou opened her mouth and called, and soon the girl in white, Abigai, walked in.

Qianrou thought for a moment and said, "Has Jim ever been back?" Abigai was already familiar with Jim's pseudonym now, and nodded lightly, "He came back before the sun went down." ”

Qianrou frowned and said, "Just him?"

Abigai nodded, and Qianrou's brows furrowed even more when she heard this.

"He didn't find Lird either?"

Abigay shook his head, then continued, "He seemed very tired, and went back to the tent and couldn't sleep for a long time, as if he hadn't eaten dinner until now. ”

Qianrou nodded, and then said, "You've been observing him?"

Abigai nodded this time.

Qian Rou smiled at this, but there was neither joy nor dissatisfaction in this smile.

"You do things, I don't worry. In the end, Qianrou only said a short sentence.

Abigai looked at Qianrou, she couldn't understand the deeper meaning of what Qianrou said, and she couldn't feel whether Qianrou trusted or was wary of her, so she only nodded respectfully, and then retreated very interestingly.

After Abigai left the inner tent, Qianrou rubbed her somewhat swollen eyebrows with her hand, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth for a long time.

"Are you back?"

...

When Qianrou walked out of the big tent she was in, a cold wind blew in her face, but this time it didn't make her rush to the cold.

Abigai took a white thick velvet coat in her hand, walked a few steps quickly to Qianrou's back, and put it on Qianrou's body.

Qianrou chuckled: "There was a rain in the middle of the day, I thought the weather was going to get warmer, but I didn't want to make it much cooler." From tomorrow onwards, you will send someone to add cold medicine to your food appropriately, so that everyone will not be affected by bad weather, especially at this time. ”

Abigai nodded.

Then Qian Rou said: "Okay, it's not early, you have been with me all day, let's go and rest." ”

Abigai was stunned for a moment, and then said, "But, sacrifice you..."

"I couldn't sleep and wanted to walk quietly by myself. ”

Abigai said, "But it's still not early, you're alone..."

Qianrou smiled: "What? Are you still worried that I will be attacked in my own tribal camp? Joke, unless some more aircraft and cannons come in one go, I will not have any accidents, and if I really want to think about it at that time, even this tent will not be able to save my life." ”

Abigai wanted to say something more, but Qianrou directly waved her hand and ordered, "Go back." ”

Seeing this, Abigai could only lean back and watch Qianrou, who was dressed in white, gradually melt into the darkness.

In fact, Qianrou is not lying, it is indeed difficult to sleep now, much like walking aimlessly like this, thinking about something about herself while walking.

But in the same way, Qianrou does have another project of her own.

Consciously or unconsciously, she walked towards the tent where Pym had previously lived and which had become Lird's belonging.

The location of the tent was not very far from Qianrou's tent, but I don't know if it was to hide people's eyes, or if it was really said that it was all unintentional on the part of Qianrou, and it took a while to get to the tent, and it didn't enter the tent at the first time, but turned around and went to another tent not far from it.

Pushing open the door of the tent and entering, the people in the tent were startled, and when they saw that it was the priest, everyone present stood up.

Qianrou waved her hand to make the people in the account redone, and she was still standing at the door and looking at everyone carefully.

There were six people in the small tent, and all of them were strong Atlantean warriors, all of whom were in good spirits, and it was clear that they were not sleeping.

"How was it going that night?" said Qianrou lightly.

The six people in the tent glanced at each other, and soon understood that the priest had come late at night to investigate.

One of them said: "Enlighten the sacrifice to the Lord, everything is normal. ”

Qianrou said softly: "Have you been sleeping until now?"

The one who answered nodded again.

Qianrou chuckled, and no one could see the emotion behind the laughter.

"Get me a lamp. Qianrou said suddenly.

Hearing this, one of them hurriedly took a relatively new lamp, lit it, and respectfully handed it to Qianrou.

Qian Rou took the lamp and said to the others: "I'll go in and have a look, remember, no one is allowed to trespass without my permission, do you understand?"

Several of the warriors in the tent nodded vigorously, and then Qianrou turned and walked out of the tent.

During the short journey to Lird's tent, the night wind kept howling, and the light of the lamp in Qianrou's hand continued to sway with the wind, but the flickering light and darkness had the momentum of being blown out, but in the end it was not blown out by the night wind, Qianrou walked to the big tent with the lamp, pushed the door and walked in.

When the door closed, the flickering light stabilized instantly, and soon it emitted a steady and brighter glow.

The light broke through the darkness in the tent, making the dark tent instantly brighter, but the brightness of the lamp was limited, so that a large part of the tent was still in darkness, including Jim's place.

Qianrou didn't try to use her own light to illuminate the entire tent, and she didn't want to use her own light to illuminate the face in the dark, thinking that whether she saw him or not, Qianrou could get along with the shape of that face in her mind.

"You're back. ”

Qiansoft said softly, not angry, not happy or happy in her tone.

"Hmm. ”

A brief answer came from the darkness.

Qianrou also smiled lightly and said, "Congratulations." ”

"Congratulations on me?" a flat voice came from the darkness.

"Congratulations that you're not dead. ”

The man in the darkness fell silent for a moment, then whispered, "Do you want me to die?"

Qianrou tilted her head and said, "What do you say?"

Humanity in the Dark: "That's the question I asked you. ”

Qianju: "Whether I answered your question or not, you made your choice, didn't you?"

The man in the dark was silent for a moment again, and then said, "But I still want to hear the answer from your mouth." ”

Qianjudo: "Is the answer important?"

"Sometimes it doesn't matter, but now it's important. ”

Qianjudo: "But that's just my answer. ”

"Enough. The man in the dark said flatly.

"No, I don't want you to die. After a moment of silence, Qianrou finally gave her answer.

After he finished speaking, the man in the dark was silent for a moment, and then said softly, "Thank you." ”

Qianrou sighed softly, she wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say a word.

At this time, there was a rustling sound in the darkness, and a person stood up from the darkness, and then walked towards the light in Qianrou's hand, Qianrou just stood motionless in place, she just stared at the person who kept walking towards her, and her heart was mixed.

Finally, the darkness of the people in the darkness walked into the light, and the familiar face appeared in the light, in Qianrou's sight.

This man was not Jim, but Lird.

In this way, Qianrou looked at Liard, and Liald also looked at Qianrou, the two looked at each other, without saying a word, and there seemed to be a complicated look in their calm eyes, but in the end they all turned into a smile.

"Sit down. Lird greeted Qianrou with a sense of ownership, as if forgetting that he was the one who didn't belong here.

Qianrou then placed the lamp on the ground, and the two sat down in adjacent seats.

"I didn't expect you to actually come. Looking at Qianrou's handsome face illuminated by the dim light, Lird said slowly.

"Surprising?" asked Qianrou, and Lird nodded.

Qian Ju said: "What surprised me even more was you, I didn't expect you to come back." ”

Lird tilted his head and said, "What? shouldn't I come back?"

Qian Ju said: "This time, you lost the best opportunity. ”

Lird laughed, "I didn't think so. ”

Qianrou didn't want to go back and forth with Lird on this topic, so she went straight to the point and said to Liard, "Jim found you?" Lird nodded.

"What happened last night?"

"Assassination. ”

As Lird answered, the two fell into a long silence, which lasted for an unknown amount of time, and finally Qianrou nodded and said, "Sure enough." ”

Sure enough, it was obvious that Qianrou's answer had already shown that this matter had been expected in Qianrou's heart.

Lird smiled, he knew that Qianrou was a smart woman, and this kind of thing would definitely not surprise her.

So Lird said to Qianju: "Since you guessed that someone would assassinate me, do you know who the murderer will be?"

When Qian Rou heard this, her expression immediately became difficult to see.

Lird raised his eyebrows and said, "What?

Qianrou sighed lightly when she heard this, and then said, "You say, I can bear it." ”

"Really?" said Lird, "But I'm not just talking about a name. ”

Qianrou nodded.

So Lird slowly said the three names, when Lird said the three names verbatim, Qianrou's face kept changing, and when Lird completely finished saying the names of the three people, Qianrou's face surprisingly returned to calm.

"How?" said Lird.

Qianrou nodded and said, "Fortunately, I can bear it." ”

Lierde said: "Although your mentality in the chess game is very poor, but your endurance at this time is surprisingly good. ”

Qian Ju said: "Life is different from chess, there is no chance to regret chess, Laizi or start over." Then Qianrou said indifferently: "Now you tell me what happened last night." ”

As soon as Lird groaned slightly, he told Qianrou everything that had happened after he was separated from Qianrou last night, and Liard's voice was very calm, and the content of the incident did not add fuel to the matter, but completely stated the facts.

Qianrou's demeanor is also very calm, as if she is reading a book full of worldly routines.

However, what is hidden under the calm of the two is not the slightest contempt, but an incomparably huge wave.

Eventually, Lird finished recounting everything, and then fell silent, waiting for Qianrou's answer.

After a moment of silence, Qianrou spoke, "I'd love to meet that guy named Edward. ”

Lird smiled: "Now he won't see you, or he is a little afraid to see you." ”

Qianrou raised her eyebrows and said, "What's the matter, afraid that I will kill him?"

"Perhaps," said Lird, "though he is very brave and good at fighting, he is also a very timid man. ”

Qianrou nodded and muttered, "It's good to be timid, sometimes only timid people can live longer." Then he looked at Lird and said, "You and Mr. Pym are not cowardly men. ”

"My father and I were both afraid of death, but there was something more important in our hearts than life, and that was faith. Backed by faith, fearless. ”
