Chapter Twenty-Three: Growing Up
"Wow~" In the wind, the waves of the bamboo forest are undulating like an ocean. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the small bamboo house, an unusually thin little girl stared blankly at the world outside the window. Behind her, Liu Yu secretly looked at her who was distracted.
Zhang Yan had already left at noon, but Huo'er still stayed here, as if this was her home.
"Woo~" A sharp cold wind poured in from the window, and the whole hut was cold. But Huo'er didn't seem to feel it, just looked at the outside world stupidly.
"Huo'er, are you cold?" asked Liu Yu, invisible water vapor coming out of his mouth and condensing into a white mist.
"Huh?" Huo'er finally came to her senses, but she didn't react to what he said.
"Oh, it's not cold. She finally 'heard' him.
He looked at her. She usually likes to cheer and laugh, but her expression is very calm now, as if there is a trace of hidden something.
"Brother, Zhang Yan... Forehead... Is my sister good-looking?" she asked him suddenly. She didn't like her attitude, but she didn't know what to call her, so after a short hesitation, she still called Senior Sister Zhang Yan.
Liu Yu was stunned. Obviously, the little girl's sudden words were beyond his expectations. He looked into her eyes, where what was the faint glow of light?
"Beautiful," he said slowly.
"Is the fire so pretty?" the little girl's eyes twinkled with doubt.
"It's also beautiful. ”
"But... Huo'er didn't resemble her at all. The little girl bowed her head.
"Her skin is white, her hair is black and shiny, and she's not as thin as Huo'er... Although Huo'er doesn't know what it means to be good-looking, she looks good-looking. The little girl said weakly, her voice getting quieter and quieter, is it loss?
"Haha~" Liu Yu suddenly laughed.
"Have you been thinking about this all afternoon?"
"Hmm~" The little girl raised her head, and there was clearly a crystal in her eyes.
Liu Yu looked at the aggrieved little girl, and her heart moved. The smile on his face had dissipated unconsciously, replaced by a softness. The next moment, he stretched out his arm and took her in his arms.
"Huo'er is the most beautiful in my brother's heart!"
"Is it better looking than Senior Sister Zhang Yan?"
"Hmm!"
The little girl smiled, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Outside the small bamboo house, in the cold wind, the goose-feather snow began to spread all over the world.
"Brother~, I'm hungry. ”
"My brother will take you to eat something delicious. ”
The door of the bamboo house opened, and two small figures rushed into the wind and snow and disappeared.
After Liu Yu and Huo'er left, two figures appeared from behind the small bamboo house.
"Huo'er is in good shape right now. The Taoist in Tsing Yi said to the woman beside him.
"Well, it looks like we really don't have to worry about it...," the woman laughed. She turned her head to look at him.
Her face is delicate, her skin is delicate, although her long-term life in the evil cave has made her skin not very white, and her blue clothes are graceful and colorful.
The Taoist in Tsing Yi was stunned for a while.
Originally, he was in the Evil Cave, and there were no beautiful clothes, not even water for grooming. At this moment, she finally showed the essence of beauty.
"What are you looking at?!haven't you seen enough after all these years?" Her eyes were bright and charming, and for a moment, they covered up all their brilliance.
"Hehe~" he smiled.
"It's been more than ten years—" he hugged her into his arms, and the world fell silent for a moment.
"We've been out for so long, shouldn't we send a message to the doorman?" she said suddenly.
His body stiffened.
The picture rotated, just over a decade ago.
In the center of the empty dry fire hall, the flame that never went out was burning. He fell to his knees in front of him with a baby in his arms, not much bigger than a slap.
"Senior brother, please save my child—" He couldn't remember the first time he had said such words.
He finally turned his head and looked at him on his knees, his face full of absoluteness.
"Senior brother, the precepts of the ancestors cannot be broken. When it comes to the life and death of the sect, the Xuanhuo Mirror is not available!"
"You go, don't embarrass me anymore—" he said, turning his head and walking away, disappearing into the corner where the flames could not shine.
He looked at the child in his arms, she was so thin that it tugged at his heart. As if sensing his gaze, she 'woke up' and looked at him smiling, what kind of smile was that? There was no 'impurities' in the world. She held out her small hand the size of his thumb, struggling to grasp something. He hurriedly handed her his fingers. She grabbed his fingers, smiled peacefully, and then 'fell asleep' again.
In the empty hall, flames were jumping. He looked up, the fire shining on his expressionless face. He glanced faintly at the corner, then slowly stood up, walked out of the door, and disappeared into the hall.
From now on......
He came back to his senses from the memories.
"Hehe, if he was willing to use the Xuanhuo Mirror to replace Huo'er to complete the innate fire elemental power... Fortunately, Huo'er has a big life, otherwise...... How could I have let it go so easily. His voice was indifferent.
"Let's go, we should go back too. He carried her into a blue light and disappeared into the snow.
The kitchen is a big place away from the fire hole.
Liu Yu was concentrating on roasting the snowcock. I saw him holding a brush full of fine needles, and from time to time he slapped the snowcock on the steel drill. In this way, the grilled meat will be soft and flavorful.
"Brother~, are you alright?" the little girl swallowed.
"It's almost there. He sprinkled the seasoning on a needle brush and slowly patted the snowcock, which had turned golden.
"Snort~" The grease that was originally condensed on the surface of the snowcock was shaken off, fell into the flames, and burned violently before turning into a fragrance.
"Wow~, it's so fragrant~" the little girl cheered.
"Brother~" She turned her head with grievances in her eyes.
"Oh, it's baked..."Liu Yu looked at the fire, smiled, and handed over the snowcock in his hand. Huo'er took it with a shout of joy and gobbled it up. Freshly grilled meat is very hot, but after a long life in the Evil Cave, she has a high resistance to heat.
"It's even better than roasting in a cave. "Huo'er's cheeks are bulging, and his mouth is full of roasted meat. She muttered.
"Brother~, why is your roasted meat so delicious?"
......
Time flies, years in the blink of an eye.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the whole world, and the earth fell into the most mysterious moment.
On the edge of a high cliff in the Vulcan Gate, two figures sit.
"Brother~, the sunset is so beautiful. She stared at him with wide eyes.
Hearing her speak, he turned his head. The face of the girl in front of her is delicate and abnormal, and her figure is slender and slender but with thrilling ups and downs.
Her skin is delicate, her eyes are expressive, and her eyelashes are so beautiful?
The breeze blew, and her long, slightly curly hair danced in the wind. Maybe it's because she lived in the Punishment Cave when she was a child, and her hair is slightly yellow, but it is no longer yellow, but it looks like a soft gold.
"Brother, Huo'er is hungry..."
