Chapter 36: Friends

Everything is still so familiar, in this dilapidated tiled house. When Zhao Yu walked in, he stayed in the living room for a long time. He didn't choose to enter the room again, because after a few hours, he was almost crying inside.

And right behind him, there are two friends who have been playing with him since then.

Perhaps for Zhao Yu, he would never have thought that he would be lucky enough to return to Vortex Town alive and have a few more words with his former partners.

"Alas!" Zhao Yu hunched his waist, and his eyelids seemed to sink as if he was sleepy.

"Zhao Yu!" Not long after, Zha Hongliang posted it directly. He put his hand on one of Zhao Yu's shoulders, his expression still full of sadness, "It's been so long, don't be sad anymore." ”

"yes! Think about something high-minded, like we're meeting again after a long absence. Liang Chaowei was also comforting from the back.

Zhao Yu didn't respond immediately, just continued to be silent. However, his head was lowered, and he was trying to suppress the sadness in his heart.

After coming out of the dean's house, Li Yuan and Coach Yu Jianshu were going home first. However, Zhao Yu can come out, these two coaches just hope that the three students can be alone for a while.

Of course, Coach Li Yuan is also there, and Ming will definitely take Zhao Yu to the trial ground, show the partners there, and tell him that he has not died yet.

After that, Li Yuan also discussed with Yu Jianshu to hold a reception banquet for Zhao Yu, in order to celebrate the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

Zhao Yu naturally wanted to shirk when he heard this, but Zha Hongliang next to him said something like this:

"Just accept it! Even if it's not to celebrate that you're still alive, it's time to congratulate you on becoming the general of our country!"

Zhao Yu was at a loss for what to say, and was busy explaining something, but was rejected by several friends.

After giving some information, the two coaches rushed to their homes. In this way, only Zhao Yu and his friends are left.

Wandering on the empty street, unconsciously walked to Zhao Yu's house, Zheng Zhao Yu looked at the dilapidated tile for a long time, and some didn't know what to do.

"Let's go inside! I haven't been to your house for a long time. Zha Hongliang had nothing to do, "Before you disappear......" he added.

After eyeing the two friends, Zhao Yu nodded helplessly.

After entering the room, the dark scene inside was still a little scary. If he hadn't been here a few hours ago, Zhao Yu would definitely not have been able to adapt to it.

He didn't know what to do at the moment, so he could only stand in the dark living room. However, as he spent more time standing, bits and pieces of the house would invade his mind from time to time, which he did not want to see, and he had almost been tormented by this memory invasion when he was alone in the house in the previous afternoon.

'No...... Don't ......' he shook his head quickly.

"Zhao Yu, what's wrong with you?"

"Are you alright?"

There are still two friends to remind Zhao Yu that Zhao Yu did not continue to fall deeper. He jerked his body and turned his head slowly.

"It's okay...... I...... It's okay!" He quickly turned his head again, but his eyes were still full of confusion.

Looking at Zhao Yu's appearance, Liang Chaowei couldn't help but complain, "Oh! You're so gambling, what are you calling people to come to your house for?" He squinted his eyes as he squinted, which was where Zha Hongliang was standing.

Zha Hongliang seemed to be very aggrieved, his neck shrunk accordingly, "Ah, I, I didn't want to take him into this house, I just walked here unconsciously, okay?"

"But weren't you the one who finally called him in?"

"Huh? I ......"

"Right, I'm not accusing you of anything?" Liang Chaowei kept chattering.

Zha Hongliang didn't seem to be able to respond reasonably, although his mouth was constantly moving, but there were no clear words flowing out of it. Then, after a few more breaths in succession, he straightened his waist, "I...... I wish he could go back to his old place and reminisce about the past!"

"What is there to remember about this, didn't you listen to the female marshal? Zhao Yu has been here for an afternoon a long time ago!"

"But he was alone at the time, and now with the two of us with him, it's emotionally different. ”

"What's the difference?"

"Oops! It's just different......"

"All right, don't make any more noise. Zhao Yu suddenly turned around, and the staff in his hand couldn't help but poke hard at the ground.

The sound of the bottom of the rod poking into the ground greatly shocked his two friends, and the magical aura emanating from it also frightened the two young men.

"Don't be noisy anymore. Zhao Yu's tone was quite gentle, "Liang Chaowei is right, why should I still come here? This afternoon, I have been here alone for a long time." ”

"Zhao Yu ......" Zha Hongliang took a step forward slightly.

"Although there are many memories of the past, people should not only have memories! We not only have the past, but also the infinite future......! Instead of thinking about those uncomfortable things in the past, let's talk about our future in the future, don't you?" Zhao Yu glanced at his two friends one after another.

Zha Hongliang and Liang Chaowei kept nodding, and they were about to drop their heads.

"So let's find a tavern! that's the place to talk." When Zhao Yu lifted the staff, the bottom of the staff left the hole he had poked out just now.

At this time, the atmosphere seemed to have changed suddenly, and the living room, which was still relatively dim, was now unusually shining into a few rays of moonlight.

"Well, you're good! The three of us didn't get together because we had to spend time talking about the past. Don't we have a lot to talk about, so we should go somewhere to talk. Liang Chaowei let out a playful look.

"That's it!" Zha Hongliang also fiddled his arms happily.

"Hey, I'm Ahh

"Why? I just ...... Just ......"

"Okay, let's not continue to grind here, let's go to a place where we can talk and have a good talk for some time!" Zhao Yu immediately pointed to the door.

His two friends turned and walked out in understanding, their steps becoming much lighter.

Seeing that his two friends were moving away, Zhao Yu put away his smile at this moment. He looked around the living room with a sad face, although he had just heard good, who wanted to look to the future, but in fact he was still very concerned about his former life. In particular, the scene of my mother coming out of the kitchen has been flashing back to my mind one after another in the afternoon when I am alone.

"Mom!" he said casually, but soon heard his name shouted at the door.

"Hey, Zhao Yu, what's wrong with you, won't you come out?" Zha Hongliang was already waving anxiously outside the door.

Zhao Yu held back his mouth helplessly, and then left to walk towards the door. However, the moment he walked out of the gate, he still turned his head to look at the backyard location.

It was there that Zhao Yu buried his mother with his own hands. He had knelt here for a full hour when he had been alone in the afternoon.

There was a slight glitter in his eyes, but in the end, Zhao Yu still straightened his head completely. He knew that he could no longer dwell on the past, but to face the future.

'Mother, you must also hope that I will be happy in the future! You must also hope that I will stop clinging to the past! Mother! I promise you, I will not be as decadent as before, I will become a real man, a good soldier to defend my family and country!'

Nodding his head sharply in the distance, Zhao Yu followed the two friends and walked to the street outside.

Nowadays, the air is still relatively cold, and the limbs of the casual movement on the street already seem to be stiffened by the cold wind. Fortunately, Liang Chaowei, who had seen the world, led the way, and they soon came to a hotel.

This inn is arguably the busiest place in Vortex Town in the middle of the night, and it also accommodates people who can't return home.

After entering the hotel, Liang Chaowei found a seat with ease, and beckoned Zha Hongliang and Zhao Yu to sit down together.

The ground floor of the hotel is a tavern that has changed direction, and there are quite a few people inside! Compared to the darkness of the outside world, the inside can be brightly lit.

The table is in the shape of a square table, with chairs placed on all four sides. Because Zhao Yu is the protagonist today, he is naturally arranged in the middle. Zha Hongliang and Liang Chaowei sat opposite each other.

After the three of them sat down, Liang Chaowei actually asked for something to eat.

"Oh, oh! Ah Liang! You are really familiar with this place! It seems that you usually don't come often!" Zha Hongliang let out an evil smile when he saw this, "I should have a good time with your parents." ”

Liang Chaowei looked a little panicked, and the ones he put on the table began to tremble, "Ah, what are you talking about?"

"Am I not in the truth? It seems that you really didn't go out and fool around before!"

"You're nonsense, how can I have it?"

"Your habitual actions just now have betrayed you, do you still want to pretend?" Zha Hongliang propped his right elbow to the table, and his face pressed into his right fist.

"How can I pretend? You don't want to spew blood. ”

"You're just pretending, I'm just joking, but seeing you like this now, I must have to deal with your parents about this matter and let them teach you a lesson. Hey, hey!"

"You guy!"

Looking at these two quarrels, Zhao Yu actually chuckled. His laughter soon caught the attention of the two friends, and it provoked two strange glances.

"Wow! Look! Zhao Yu smiled! Zhao Yu finally smiled!"

Seeing this, Zhao Yu immediately raised his face in embarrassment, and quickly shrunk his neck.

"What are you doing? Isn't it good to smile? Why don't you laugh?" Zha Hongliang lay directly on the table this time, and his chest naturally hit the table.

Zhao Yu didn't know how to answer, he just scratched his head, "Ah! I never dreamed that I would be able to meet you again and see your long-lost quarrels. Really, I never thought of it before. ”

"Wow, you have to be so miserable, why are you?"

"I'm real. I didn't think I'd ever go back to Vortex in my life, I thought I'd die outside. What is unthinkable is ...... I'm back now and I can still see ...... See you guys. ”

Zhao Yu began to bite his lip, because he was afraid that if he didn't do this, he would probably make a humiliating gesture that shed tears.

Zha Hongliang and Liang Chaowei immediately glanced at each other again, and their expressions were also mixed with a trace of sadness.

"Oh, okay, don't you pay attention to the future? There are a lot of high-minded things in the future, so why bother with anything sad?" Zha Hongliang straightened his upper body directly, and shook his arm violently.

"That's it, don't talk about anything from the past, we can meet again, it's a blessing! We should be grateful. Okay, Zhao Yu, let's do something high!" Liang Chaowei also tried to make a smile.

Zhao Yu nodded when he heard this, "Hmm! Something high-minded! But ......" He tilted his head to the top of the flower board, "In the days when I'm away, there must have been a lot of things happening in the town, right?"

"Huh?" Zha Hongliang made eye contact with Liang Chaowei opposite, and neither of them knew what to do.

"What happened after knowing that I was missing?" Zhao Yu's eyes widened, "Didn't the town look for me?

Zha Hongliang pursed his lips that had been together, and shrugged his shoulders, "I once looked for you, but you just don't know where you are! Oops! I remember that time! But Coach Li Yuan was in a hurry, and everyone looked for a lot, but there was no news of you!"

"But now that I think about it, I really won't find you at that time, I remember that your marshal boss took you to Seise-City!"

At this time, some of the food and drinks he had ordered before also came. It's late at night, so there's no good food. However, peanuts and some rice wine are still available.

Liang Chaowei did have a very skilled feeling, and he also poured rice wine for two of his friends.

"Ah Liang, you were still quibbling just now! Look, aren't you very skilled?" Although Zha Hongliang picked up the wine glass that his friend had poured him full of rice wine, the mocking words in his mouth did not mean to stop.

"Oh! Why do you keep holding on to this! Now when Zhao Yu asks questions, don't just divert the topic at will, okay?" Liang Chaowei directly put down the rice wine bottle, and drank the glass of rice wine in front of him with a sip.

"Cut! I'm just joking, and I don't mean to divert the subject. ”

"Then you can focus on Zhao Yu and what happened in the town after he disappeared. ”

"Of course you can!" Zha Hongliang's hands were spread out, and he immediately turned his face to Zhao Yu's position, "Zhao Yu! After you disappeared, since we couldn't find you, we had no choice but to give up after half a month of searching. But we ...... Oh, I guess none of the people in our trial ground have given up!"

"Yes. We didn't give up, whether it was the swordsman class or the archer class next door, we always believed that you must still be alive and can be found. ”

Zhao Yu's mood became excited again after hearing this, and his right hand slowly clenched into a fist, "Really......? Thank you so much. ”

"Zhao Yu, in fact, on the second day of your disappearance, the searchers in the government found your ......" Liang Chaowei's speech was quite smooth, but at a point after that, he suddenly stopped. He seemed to have encountered something difficult, and couldn't help but glance at Zha Hongliang opposite.

Zha Hongliang understood what he meant, so he made a note and added, "Zhao Yu! when the investigators searched your house for clues, they ended up ...... in the backyard of your house" should be thinking about it, and he also wanted to stop talking.

"It's okay, you can tell me clearly!" Zhao Yu looked a little indifferent at the moment, "It's me, it's me who buried my mother's body in the backyard, because I don't want her to ...... Let her ...... in the wilderness" Zhao Yu tried his best to hold back the sadness in his heart.

"Zhao Yu ......"

"Alright, no more of that. Zhao Yu forcibly regained his original indifferent facial expression, "Didn't the people sent by the government find anything?"

"Check still found something, they your mother died at the hands of a very powerful magician of yours. ”

Hearing the words 'very powerful magician', Zhao Yu's breath that had finally been suppressed rose. At the same time, Zhang Zhijie's evil face also began to spin in his mind.

I can't be angry right now. Zhao Yu's whole body began to tremble, but he finally succeeded, at least suppressing the burning anger.

When the two friends saw that Zhao Yu was so abnormal, they greeted him with laughter.

"Zhao Yu, are you okay?"

When Zhao Yu's thoughts recovered, he slowly let go of his right hand that was clenched into a fist, "It's okay! ”

Seeing this, Zha Hongliang let out a breath that seemed to be relaxed, "Zhao Yu......! It's changed, but there's a lot going on. ”

"What happened?"

Maybe he didn't expect Zhao Yu to come directly to ask, but Zha Hongliang was not ready for a while. However, after a few straight 'oh' sounds, he still straightened his body.

"You ask what happened!" Zha Hongliang's neck became a little crooked, "It's just some ordinary things, such as a bumper harvest of autumn crops, and the upcoming assessment of the trial ground." However, these things will happen even if you Zhao Yu are still here. ”

Zhao Yu smiled casually when he heard this, his disappearance actually didn't bring much change to Vortex Town. Most of the townspeople were still alive like that, barely affected.

In fact, this is normal, and the group will not change or anything because of the loss of an insignificant boy.

Zhao Yuru thought about it.
