After Ren Zhong's painstaking persuasion, the blue wolf turned his face and asked Helian Xiaojiang's meaning: "What do you think?"

This made several men present a little surprised, shouldn't the person who made the decision be the blue wolf? Helian Xiaojiang, who was questioned, was not surprised, the cold of the blue wolf was only in appearance, and the strength was only in doing what he believed in. In other aspects, from the two of them all the way to get along, they will find that the blue wolf respects her very much, and everything is discussed or informed in advance. But in the past, Helian Xiaojiang felt that she had just crossed over, and she didn't know anything, and talking nonsense would only cause trouble for people, so the blue wolf generally couldn't discuss anything with her.

What do you think?

To this day, Helian Xiaojiang should also have to turn her brain, she can't always hide behind the blue wolf and let him decide the direction for herself, which is not fair to the blue wolf. But on the other hand, if he really had to make a decision about life and death in the future, Helian Xiaojiang suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

The butterfly effect, waving its wings will set off a monstrous wave, and choosing to go left to right can completely change the trajectory of life. Helian Xiaojiang thought about it cautiously, and Ren Zhong, who was in a hurry, rushed up to say something and was suppressed by his three brothers.

"Well, I think it's a well-intentioned invitation, and it's more personal security to go with them in this way than for the two of us to go by ourselves. So I think...... Uh, what do you think, blue wolf?"

The summary didn't come out of the way, but it almost meant: agreed to let them go together. Helian Xiaojiang looked at the blue wolf, wanting to find the answer on his handsome face.

"Anyway, Xiaojiang and I have important things to do, and I really can't help with the affairs of the country, and I will part ways when you get to the north. ”

"No problem, no problem. "Ren Zhong waved his hand.

"Good. The blue wolf took Qiji's reins and walked along the dirt road, and Helian Xiaojiang trotted to catch up.

One of the brothers slammed their boss on the shoulder sideways and lowered his voice, no big or small: "It's really rare, your brain didn't go off the rails at an important moment." ”

No one is a fool, they can see the ability of the blue wolf. After persuading the other party to go together, are you afraid that you will not have a chance to persuade the other party to join?

Since you have agreed to walk together, you are your own people, and you must learn to trust each other. The blue wolf suddenly stopped and said, "You go first, I'm going to do something." He didn't explain too much, and temporarily handed Helian Xiaojiang over to Ren Zhong and them to take care of, and he rode Qiji and turned his head and walked back.

The horizon gradually turned out of the white of the fish belly, illuminating the original appearance of the yellow mud road under the feet. Because it is the only way to pass through the country, the loess road has the width of two horse-drawn carriages running side by side, and occasionally stepping on gravel on it. If it doesn't rain for several days, the yellow sand in the upper layer will migrate with the wind. The group walked forward a small distance, and heard the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer behind them.

Helian Xiaojiang turned his head, and it was the returning blue wolf.

"Don't you want to hug again?" Ren Zhong deliberately laughed at them, and was immediately glanced at by Helian Xiaojiang.

Before, she didn't control the expression of her true feelings for a while, and she didn't want to deliberately show others the excitement. As a result, when the blue wolf took out the dagger from his arms and handed it to her, Helian Xiaojiang was so excited that he almost couldn't help but pounce again. It turned out that the blue wolf went and returned for nothing else, just to get the dagger specially made for her.

"Give. ”

The blue wolf held the tip of the dagger, and the handle of the dagger inlaid with a ruby with a diameter of thirty centimeters stretched out towards Helian Xiaojiang, and the ruby glowed red in the dim environment. The sheath of the dagger is carved from a certain kind of wood with a very high density and heavy texture, and the surface is painted with gold lacquer to a shiny yellow, which is beautiful and textured in the hand.

When the scabbard was opened, the blade turned out to be black, which was the color of the "stainless steel" itself. A jet-black and rare metal, the weight of which is barely noticeable in the hand. The whole dagger is stunningly beautiful from the inside out. didn't live up to Helian Xiaojiang's eagerness at all.

It's so beautiful!

Ren Zhong, who was still laughing just now, shouted at this time: "Oops, it's so heartwarming." Helian Xiaojiang, you don't hug him, I want to hug him. "It's not an exaggeration to have a heavy responsibility, if it weren't for the blue wolf's own body being too cold, he would have hugged it decisively. In a land of war, famine and death. Love, affection, and hope have not been experienced for a long time, and seem to have died out on the land of E.

All the way ahead, Helian Xiaojiang kept lowering his head and playing with the dagger in his hand as he walked, repeatedly caressing and loving him.

It's natural to be tired of traveling day and night, but what's even more frustrating and sad is what you've seen and heard along the way. The deeper you go into the hinterland of the country of Wu, the more shocking it becomes, compared to the monotonous and even a little boring country of Xin, the country of Wu gives Helian Xiaojiang the feeling of entering another world with a different style of painting.

Purgatory.

Everywhere in and around the city, the suburbs are in ruins, people have lost their homes, collapsed on the side of the road, their eyes closed, motionless, barely breathing, not knowing whether they are dead or alive. Still others wander the ruins, picking up something that can be sold or fed.

The children died in batches, and the lucky ones were all skinny and pitiful. On the side of the road, there was a baby less than a month old, lying on the mother's chest, opening her mouth to suck the shriveled rufang, the mother was also thin and pitiful, her limbs were like withered wood, and she had not eaten a full meal for a long time, where did she secrete milk. The little baby's efforts to pout are also in vain, and finally the hungry "huh" screams, but the voice is as weak as a young monkey.

In the early morning, the sun slowly rises over the distant horizon. The red glow shines on the earth, and the sunrise represents the beginning and new vitality of a new day, but people don't feel a little hope for the future, and everything in front of them is lifeless.

This situation and this scene touched Helian Xiaojiang the most deeply in the era of peace, and even the air in front of him was wrapped in a decadent skin. The bark and leaves of the big trees and small trees on the roadside were eaten up by the hungry people, and the bare branches hung down and lifeless. All these glances are painful, Helian Xiaojiang can't bear to look at them anymore. The four of them are natives of Wuguo, and they are the authorities and participants in this civil war, and they should be used to seeing such things for decades, but they can still feel the uncontrollable anger in their hearts every time they see each other.

Seeing these shocking scenes with his own eyes made Helian Xiaojiang understand that in the inn, the seemingly arrogant promises that Ren Zhong boasted were actually the oaths that Ren Zhong made to himself and to the entire Wu country.

Everyone's steps are heavy, as if they have a thousand pounds of burden, but in fact, this burden is not on the feet but in the heart. Helian Xiaojiang was the first to stop and glanced at the blue wolf inquiringly, and after the latter agreed, she took out all the dry food and some silver taels in her luggage and walked to the woman holding the baby.
