Chapter Forty-Nine: The Return
The campfire in the camp was swaying with warm light, Hua Mulan broke the firewood in her hand and threw it into the fire, turning her head to look at Li Bai, who was carefully inspecting the soup cooked in the pot, and the warm red light reflected the faces of the two people who were already close to each other with a layer of orange.
It's been nearly a day since Li Ke witnessed him kill Isli, the king of Northern Silver.
Li Ke didn't come to trouble them, and they were happy to stay away from this kind of killing star.
Even if they are far away, only a few words, it is enough to see from the last words left by Isli that this person is a hero! It is by no means worse than Cao Mengde, who used human flesh to fill the army with military rations and declared that he would rather let me bear the people of the world than let the people of the world bear me.
And when he was in the first line of defense, Li Bai and Hua Mulan also teamed up to kill one of his low-level generals, which was of course not a big deal for the high-ranking Li Ke. But if the other party pursues it, they will definitely not escape death.
Even Isli, the powerful god-like king of the Northern Silver, who was capable of controlling thousands of demon seeds, had fallen into the hands of this person, and dealing with this kind of character was tantamount to talking to a giant elephant, and he couldn't complain about being trampled to death.
The soup in the pot is bubbling, and the wild vegetables and rabbit meat are gradually fragrant.
Li Bai looked at the boiling pot and the white water vapor in a daze, and was actually a little distracted for a while.
Mulan frowned and said, "What's wrong with you today, absent-minded?"
"Huh?
Li Bai said in amazement.
He immediately smiled and opened the last can of cans, poured out the beef and soup inside, and put it in the pot to stew the soup, showing a trace of loneliness in his expression.
"I'll go out and down. ”
As if sensing something was wrong with the atmosphere, Armor stood up and bowed slightly to the two of them, and left the humble camp.
Hua Mulan glanced up at him, then lowered her head again, and skewered the Hu cakes in the package on the fire, with some inexplicable emotion in her eyes.
"You're leaving, aren't you?"
Coldly, a faint sigh rang out.
"You?" Li Bai was slightly stunned.
"I'm not stupid, and you're not good at hiding your thoughts. ”
Mulan smiled, and she breathed a long sigh of relief, as if she had unloaded a thousand burdens, and as if she was relieved after verifying some kind of bad guess of herself.
Li Bai looked at her side face, the girl's cheeks were red, and she couldn't tell whether it was the red that was baked by the fire after the cold wind raged in winter, or the red caused by emotions.
"When my father was asked to leave home and go to the front, he behaved like you...... It's exactly the same. ”
She stretched out her hand to roast by the fire, stretched out her white fingers and depicted it little by little, as if through that layer of night, she returned to the night of parting, and the smile on her face gradually shrouded in a layer of bright sadness.
It's distressing.
But the grief soon turned into relief.
She clapped her hands and said, "Let's go, while it's not too late, if you go fast, you may be able to stay in the city for a night." ”
"Don't worry sister, sister doesn't need you to worry. ”
"Go ahead and do what you want. ”
"Don't say anything about waiting for me, I belong to the Great Wall, if the chaos is really settled in the future, I will go back to Chang'an, and then we will have a chance to meet again, but at that time, maybe everything will be different. ”
You will get married, have children, be full of honors, and even rise to prominence...... And I will be scarred, perhaps a lifelong disability and sickness, never to have children again, and the only face I am proud of will gradually fall scarred on the battlefield.
Li Bailiang was speechless for a long time, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hold the other party's hand, which was cool, even under the baking of the bonfire, it was still cold, which made people feel distressed.
He said, "So you won't let me eat even a meal?"
Hua Mulan smiled, but did not withdraw her hand, just quietly waited for him to say the parting words, either explanation, or prevarication, or mountain alliance and sea oath.
But whatever it was, she was mentally prepared.
Li Bai sighed, wanting to explain, but he couldn't talk about it.
After a long time, he sorted out his language and said: "I want to go to Jixia, I used to do less and more, I didn't work hard, and then I gave up literature and martial arts, although I entered the country for a long time, I fell behind after all." ”
Thinking about how complacent I was about those achievements, I felt ridiculously nervous. ”
"When I saw this King of Northern Silver Isli today, I knew for the first time that this world was so vast, and my former self was like a frog at the bottom of a well, which was really not worth it. ”
Hua Mulan nodded: "That's true, you are very talented, you enter the country very quickly, and the future is limitless, but it's a pity that it has been abandoned for too long, it's good that you can recognize this, go to Jixia, you will grow faster." ”
Li Bai's mood gradually declined, and he didn't know what to say for a while, he thought that the other party would keep him, but it was okay, leaving was inevitable, and keeping it would only increase sadness.
For a long time, speechless.
He finally held back a sentence: "Before leaving, can you sing me a song?"
I had expected to be rejected, but I never thought that the girl smiled like a flower, and raised her heroic sword eyebrows without hesitation: "Forget about singing, I haven't learned to sing, but Hu Xuanwu has seen it a few times, and I will barely give you a dance as a practice." ”
Mulan stood up, unpretentious, and jumped into an open space with a few generous leaps.
By the moonlight, the woman's smile was like a goddess descending from the nine heavens, picturesque like a dream, as if within reach, and as if it would disappear into the heavens and the earth at any time like a dream bubble.
Li Bai's expression gradually became obsessed, and he muttered: "This is a dance that belongs to me alone, you can go to other people's live broadcast rooms to watch the ball by yourself." ”
I turned off the live broadcast casually.
[Grass, Xiaobai, are you human?]
[What about the face?]
[Don't, I want to watch Huahua dance!]
[I've never seen such a brazen person!]
[See it, recommended ticket, tear it!]
[See, the alliance leader who wanted to reward him, go to the big health care!]
A group of fans almost overturned the entire live broadcast room, but no matter how much they made trouble and how they barrage was released, the quality was three times in a row. The black screen is still a black screen, and it's a mess.
Li Bai's mind was no longer there, and at this time, his entire soul seemed to be lost with the crimson figure that jumped like an elf.
Her agile posture was very agile, enthusiastic or jumping, and with the rhythm of her pedaling, it gradually became brighter, and gradually, she was like a spirit born in flames, spinning in the night.
The battle skirt fluttered in the wind, revealing a large area of fair skin.
She waved her arms to her heart's content, as if to turn all the enthusiasm in her heart into a raging flame, let it vent, let it have no worries, with determination, with sadness, bury everything!
......
Around the bonfire in the dark night, a man dressed in white and carrying a sword box stared at the dancing crimson girl, and his eyes gradually reddened.
However, he was still indulging in the amazing dance, and the crimson figure stepped on a protruding rock like a dragonfly, and landed lightly beside him, and sat down again.
"How's it going?" Mulan picked up a bowl of soup and blew lightly, letting the mist overshadow her vision and hide her emotions, "It's my first time jumping, so it shouldn't be too bad." ”
Li Bai smiled: "Very good. ”
After a while, as if feeling that the strength was not enough, he added: "Very good, I have only seen it in my life, and I will never forget it!"
Mulan smiled, laughed, and her voice changed.
Her shoulders trembled a little, so she simply shoved the bowl in her hand to Li Bai on the side, then lowered her head to herself, hugged her legs, and said nothing.
Li Bai hugged her from behind, feeling the body that stiffened violently, and then gradually softened, wishing that time would be frozen in this moment forever.
However, time does not slow down because of the will of any one person.
Soon, a huge countdown number popped into my head - there were ten minutes left until the deadline for the return.
His body shook.
By this time the girl had broken free from her embrace, and her eyelashes were stained with two drops of crystal water, and she rubbed her snot and tears against his clothes in a vicious voice.
". ”
"Immediately, immediately!"
She held out her hand and pointed to the far southeast.
Li Bai held her fingers and said solemnly: "Blackmane will be entrusted to you, before leaving, I will give you one last gift." ”
As he spoke, he reached out and pressed his hand on her forehead.
The only remaining system currency instantly zeroed, turning into a complex imprint engraved on her white forehead, and disappeared in an instant.
Li Bai looked at the fleeting engraving, and his expression showed a hint of pride.
"What are you doing?"
"Stamp, you are mine, one day, I will step on the colorful auspicious clouds, like a hero descending from the sky, in front of everyone's eyes, in the envious eyes of countless Great Wall guards - Mulan, I will marry you. ”
A hint of reverence flashed in Mulan's eyes, but she snorted: "Okay, but I may not agree then." ”
"Not necessarily...... Agreed?"
He suddenly opened his hands and took her into his arms, maybe with too much force, so he fell directly to the ground, he looked at the panicked girl in front of him, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with smiles.
"Wait for me. ”
"When I can put an end to this. ”
He leaned in and saw the red lips and big, slightly alarmed eyes that were close at hand.
"Hmm~" She wanted to speak, but her lips were blocked by the brazen Li Bai, and he went to ask for what he wanted, to feel the softness and sweetness.
He was like a candy kid, smiling slyly.
"You...... Shameless!"
Pushing Li Bai away, the girl said angrily.
"It's not like I haven't kissed. Li Bai smiled, stretched out his hand and touched the top of the other party's head, looking doting, and came to a plan to touch the head and kill.
"The time has come, and I'm gone. ”
The white-clothed sword fairy took the sword box on his back, let go of the hand holding the other party, and turned to leave.
There is no turning back, but I am afraid that this time I will not have the courage to muster up.
So he didn't see the girl's eyes red the moment he turned around.
The white-clothed figure faded away, but his voice came from nowhere.
"By the way, you have to take care of yourself, that mark just now is called the Covenant of Fellowship, if you die, I will be with you. ”
The girl's tears could not be stopped any longer......
Under the light of the fire, Hua Mulan curled up silently, and her cold fingers touched the position where Li Bai was sitting before, and the temperature had dissipated......
The soup that had been served before had also been extinguished and a layer of ice had formed.
The people are gone, and the soup is cold.
