At the campsite, Momo, Lanruo, Reiji, and Shiryu sat in a row on the ground, eating hot sweet potatoes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tao said: "Lan Ruo, you rarely promise people so firmly, just now you promised that old woman to protect this town, do you really think we can win the southern border?" ”
Lan Ruo was silent for a moment and said, "The spirits of the southern realm are stronger than us. ”
Tao snorted: "Before you start fighting, you will grow other people's ambition and destroy your own prestige, so what promise do you make!" ”
Lan Ruo waved his hand and said: "I haven't finished yet, the uniqueness of our northern territory is that there is ancient technology, just like the gun of the Mercy Division, it is said that the first batch of guided missiles excavated from the ultra-ancient ruins of the year instantly defeated the arrogant southern army, and the southerners called it the Heavenly Cloud Ladder of Destruction in awe, ancient technology is definitely enough to shake the absolute domination of the spirit, I think our northern territory can now rely on the power of technology and the spirit to compete with the south." ”
When Tao heard this, she smiled happily and happily patted Lan Ruo's shoulder.
Jingliu suddenly said: "But the predecessors were very afraid of those cold weapons, and destroyed all the methods of making them, and those weapons that were excavated were not destroyed in time, and those ancients probably destroyed these weapons before they destroyed them, because of the war, our ancient weapons are not many and most of them are consumables, and they are all over." It is true that the ancient people left behind some scientific research instruments and documents, but the documents recorded are electricity, architecture, biology, chemistry, etc., and the impact on the war is not very great, so it is still difficult for us to win favor with the powerful southern territory. ”
Momo didn't have a good impression of this foreign member, and Shizuru's words were like pouring cold water on his face, so Momo said with an unkind expression: "Hey, can you not be alarmist before the war!" ”
Shizuru shrugged: "What I said is the truth, if you don't believe it, you can ask the little brother with the gun over there, he must know." ”
Momo looked at Reiji, only to see Reinji silent, expressing silence, and Momo sighed.
Lan Ruo suddenly said loudly: "I don't know what the situation of the war between the north and the south is, but I saw that old woman today and I know that if I am born in the world, someone can be happy because of it, then I am born for those people, and I can dedicate my life to them." ”
Shizuru opened his eyes, and there seemed to be some light in his hollow and unsighted eyes: "I feel the same way. After speaking, Shizuru stood up and left.
In the evening of the next day, the team returned all the horses to a large post station, and walked to a wharf, and in front of them was a calm river, which was Yishui, and on both sides of the water were reeds higher than a man.
The leader of the four squads of the Star Coin Group and the Imperial Spirit Courtyard is Pascal of the Star Dust, the old man is usually drowsy, and now that the war is about to start, he is actually in good spirits, he ordered: "Two squads in one boat, go down the river." ”
Before the team arrived, the carrier pigeon had already sent the order to the military at the northern post station, and the military had already prepared hundreds of small boats at the docks, and military support for the Star Coin group was almost the highest priority.
Lan Ruo's four groups and Lan Ci's team sat in one boat, the boat was very narrow and small, and it could probably seat eight or nine people, because Yishui itself was not a big river, and it couldn't carry a big boat. Lan Ruo sat next to Red Moon, Qing Zijin was in front of Lan Ruo, Lantz untied the rope of the boat on the shore, and the current carried the boat downstream.
Peach was a little talkative, and couldn't help but say to herself: "The horse is riding well, why do you want to take a boat, this speed is too slow." ”
As soon as Qing Zijin stretched out her hand, a small lovesick bird flew and actually stopped on her fingertips, the beak was bright red; The body is olive green, and the bird's little head looks left and right, very flexible and cute.
Qing Zijin listened to the chirping of the birds, and after a while, she said, "The lovesick bird said that the vicinity seems to be full of swamps and waterways, so the horses can't walk. After all, it was Pascal who made the decision, and the possibility of a mistake was too small. ”
Momo was dumbfounded: "You actually understand what the bird said?" ”
Qing Zijin turned his head and said indifferently: "If you hear more, you will understand." ”
Lan Ruo also felt that it was amazing that Qing Zijin could understand bird language, and was about to ask a few words, Hongyue suddenly grabbed his hand, her palms had a lot of cold sweat, Lan Ruo was startled, but turned his head and suddenly saw Hongyue's face was very bad, and she looked like she wanted to cry, Lan Ruo had never seen such a senior sister, senior sister has always been synonymous with strength, cheerfulness, and self-confidence, therefore, he was a little flustered, and hurriedly asked with concern: "Senior sister, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" ”
Red Moon tried not to look at the water around her, and forced a smile and said, "I...... Fear of water...... When I was a child, my brother and I lived together...... He was very playful, and once fell into the water, I couldn't swim, so I could only shout for help and ...... I didn't dare to go into the water to save him after watching him sink slowly, and I felt scared when I saw so much water ever since. ”
Lan Ruo gently squeezed her soft and boneless hand, and said like a child: "It's okay, it's okay......"
Qing Zijin didn't look back, listening to the pity unconsciously revealed in Lan Ruo's tone, and sighed softly.
The sky is getting dark, the boat is moving slowly, the stars are scattered on the canopy on both sides of the Yishui, the field of vision is very broad, the Yishui is not turbulent, the water surface is smooth, like a mirror, the stars in the sky are reflected on the ink-colored water surface, like two starry skies against each other, Lan Ruo has been looking at it for a long time, but it is a little difficult to distinguish between the upper and the lower, the sky and the river.
Hongyue kept holding Lan Ruo's hand, and her body was also clinging to Lan Ruo, as if he was the only one to rely on, even so, Lan Ruo didn't dare to hug the soft fragrant Wenyu in her arms.
It was an insurmountable boundary, he reminded himself, and Joseph's perfect gesture flashed before his eyes.
Suddenly, someone called out in surprise: "Stars? ”
Everyone was stunned, stars? Isn't it in the sky all the time? What's there to be surprised about?
At this time, the reeds on both sides were gone, and the ground was not muddy and swampy, but ordinary flat land, and by the blue moonlight, Lan Ruo could see some shrubs and small flowers on the shore.
In the bushes, some bright green points of light floated out, like stars.
"Fireflies ......" Lan Ruo said in a daze, when he was a child, when he was punished to mow the lawn in an orphanage in the suburbs, he often saw fireflies, but it was relatively rare in the Royal Spirit Courtyard.
I don't know if I was startled by the ship, countless points of light floated up from the bushes, like stars on the ground, thousands of lights floated leisurely, enveloping the fleet, and everyone seemed to be immersed in the ocean of light.
Hongyue exclaimed in some surprise: "It's so beautiful...... It's incredible. ”
Lan Ruo looked at the bright and brilliant red moon, and couldn't help but say, "Hmm...... Really, it's beautiful. ”
Lan Ruo suddenly heard Qing Zijin whisper: "The sky is full of stars on the shore...... It's also beautiful. ”
Lan Ruo looked at the plants next to the shrubs on the shore, it was short and inconspicuous, with a fluffy and delicate white and purple flowers, just like scattered stars in the sky, Lan Ruo had seen it in the book, its name was full of stars, the flowers bloomed like stars, elegant and beautiful.
Qing Zijin bit his lower lip and smiled bitterly.
The sky full of stars is always a side flower, just like the stars, which can only accompany the moon.
