Chapter 12: Night Talk
When Li Xianhua opened his eyes again, it was already dark.
He was lying on the bed with the quilt still on his body. It was warm in the room, and Li Nali sat on a stool beside him, staring at him with big eyes without blinking.
"Brother Instant! You're awake! ”
The door was squeezed open, and a crowd rushed in from outside.
Li Gaime and the four members of the Exploration Team.
"Instantaneous, you're finally awake!" Li Gaimei looked excited, and several people from the exploration team were also rubbing their hands beside them, with an expression of eagerness to hold Li Xianhua in his arms.
Li Xianhua smiled and took Li Nali to his side: "Men stay away from me." ”
"Hahaha!" Li Nali grinned and looked at a few embarrassed men, their looks were so funny.
Li Xianhua gently patted Li Nali's little head: "Don't worry, I'm just a little tired." Where are we now? ”
"At the ferry. We have just received an emissary from Marshal Kuros, who is coming to us, and will probably arrive tomorrow morning. ”
A winged baseball-shaped creature got out of Bazel's jacket pocket, flapped its wings slowly, and flew in front of Li Xianhua, looking at him curiously.
Kuros
A tall red-haired figure appeared in Li Xianhua's mind.
If he comes, Li Nali will be brought back, right?
Li Gaimei on the side was very calm, did he change his mind? Also, this experience has made him more mature, right?
The Order is the most dangerous place and the safest place. Following the original trajectory may be the most suitable choice for her, right?
We're about to separate
"Brother Xianhua, my brother and I will go home tomorrow! You'll come with us, right? Li Nali's big eyes were full of anticipation.
"Of course, Li Nali is so cute, of course my brother wants to go with you." Li Xianhua rubbed Li Nali's head.
"I like Brother Xianhua the most!" Li Nali hugged Li Xianhua's arm, "I knew that Brother Xianhua would agree to me!" ”
It's not a pleasant thing to cheat a child, Li Xianhua smiled bitterly.
Tim in front of him got closer, twitching and twitching, as if he was smelling the smell of Li Xianhua's body.
You don't even have a nose, you smell a ghost! Li Xianhua was irritable for no reason, pulled Tim's wings and pressed it on the quilt, pulling the hair on its wings vigorously.
Hey? It turns out that there are no eyes, so what do you see! Li Xianhua poked two fingers at Tim's body, as if he wanted to help the little guy artificially create two eyes out.
Li Nali watched it interestingly on the side, and joined in with great interest, having a lot of fun.
Li Xianhua looked at the happy Li Nali and suddenly felt a little tired.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little tired, let me rest for a while." Li Xianhua smiled apologetically.
The four members of the exploration team walked out of the room very interestingly, Li Gaimei opened her mouth, stopped talking, and pulled Li Nali out together.
Li Xianhua leaned back on the bed and exhaled a long breath.
There is no way he could have joined the Black Order, because
"If the higher-ups of the Order knew that Mr. Instantaneous Hua was holy, they would definitely recover it!"
The four members of the Discovery Team are in their rooms, whispering discussions.
"Definitely, that's the purpose of the Order." Bazel clasped his hands together and watched the fire in the furnace.
"However, that's Mr. Instanthua's master's relic!" Brown stood up and said strongly, "This is private property!" ”
The other two team members agreed.
"Nonsense, holiness is a weapon given to mankind by God, how can it be private property!" Bazel glared at Brown.
"But"
"But Mister Instantaneous is our benefactor," Bazel frowned, "I have decided not to report anything about Mr. Instantaneous to the Order, this is the only thing I can do. ”
The room fell silent, acquiescing to the captain's decision.
"Is this our attitude towards our benefactors? No wonder Mr. Instantaneous said that the Order was cold. Brown was a little frustrated.
Bazel patted Brown on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Mr. Instantaneous will understand us." He's a kid, but he's more like an adult than we are. ”
****************************************************************************
In Li Xianhua's room-
"As I said, men don't come into my room." Li Xianhua looked at Li Gaimei, holding a bronze sword in his hand.
"Huh? I just didn't come near you! ”
"Well, it was just changed when you came in."
Li Gaimei smiled happily, his gold-rimmed glasses looked a little more obscene, and he raised the plate in his hand: "This is the medicine that the doctor prescribed to you, just boiled, and eaten." ”
Li Xianhua sighed: "Sit down." ”
The medicine is Chinese medicine, a clay pot full of steam, and it is still steaming.
Li Xianhua took a sip, it was so bitter!
"Is it bitter?" Li Gaimei looked at Li Xianhua's face.
Li Xianhua smiled: "It's good to suffer, it can make me feel that I am still alive." ”
Li Gaimei looked at the clay pot in Li Xianhua's hand: "Xianhua, thank you." ”
Li Xianhua pinched his nose and drank the medicine, grabbed a chicken leg and bit it a few times: "Do you want to say sorry next?" ”
"Uh, yes"
"yes, I see."
"That's it?"
"What else do you want to do?"
"How can you be so calm!" Li Gaimei suddenly stood up and shouted, "Why are you so calm! Tomorrow Li Nali and I will return to the Order! ”
Li Xianhua put down the chicken leg in his hand: "Why are you so excited, do you want to confess to me?" I'll go, it's disgusting to think about."
"No kidding!" Li Gaimei waved her fist, her originally elegant face a little hideous.
"We've only met once, but you almost risked your life to save us! You've done everything you can to help me snatch Li Nali back from the Order, and now I'm going to take Li Nali back to the Order again, as if everything was a joke! Don't you hate me?! ”
"Young man, your inner drama is so rich!" Li Xianhua sighed while drinking the soup.
"Don't talk to me in such a perfunctory tone!" Li Gaimei seems to have changed today, she has lost her previous calmness, and she looks angry, "What are you for!" ”
Li Xianhua was stunned, it was the first time he had met such a creative guy in the second grade. It seems that you are all 18, right, didn't the ancients all be precocious? Li Gaimei, you are such an outlier!
"Well, since you're asking so seriously, I'll tell you," Li Gaimei put down the spoon and put on a serious expression, "I'm doing this for--my bushido!" ”
Bushido, your sister! Where did you come from a Taoist priest? Li Gaimei completely went berserk
The food has been eaten, Li Xianhua is satisfied with a toothpick, I haven't eaten such a hearty white food for a long time.
Li Gaimei was lying on the ground, she had a tantrum just now, and now she has no strength.
"You know what? Instantaneous, I used to be an exorcist. Li Gaimei said self-deprecatingly.
"Exorcists have always been a symbol of glory and light in my eyes. The exorcist I remember, just like I met in the Order, was surrounded by respectful eyes everywhere I went, until I met you.
Why don't you have to be holy to kill demons? Why do you know so much about me and the Black Order? And most importantly: why is an exorcist so depressed!
In the Order, the exorcists who returned from the mission, everyone was personable and calm. The black uniforms studded with silver jewelry are so handsome!
But you can't even eat enough as an exorcist! If it weren't for the cotton shoes Li Nali gave you, you would still be showing your toes, right?
That's it, but after you kill the demon, you still have to run away!
Every time I watch you risk your life to fight demons, I wonder, if it were me, would I be able to hold on?
I'm afraid not.
But you did it! It's now, Li Nali and I are leaving, maybe we won't see each other again, and you can joke so easily.
Tell me, how did you do that? Please tell me. ”
Li Gaimei's eyes showed a hint of pleading.
Li Xianhua looked at Li Gaimei and smiled.
This guy isn't here to apologize.
Just to find someone to confide in your inner turmoil, right?
Isn't it a terrible feeling that the most important person is in danger and can't do anything about it?
Many people have had this experience, right?
"Before I met Master, I had been living a life of mediocrity, eating and waiting for death, no different from the roadside vendors you saw, maybe a little worse, I didn't even have a goal.
At that time, many people around me were just like me.
So we hope that one day, we can get rid of this doll-like life, even for a moment, as long as our life can shine.
The first time I encountered the demon, I hadn't met Master yet, I was just an ordinary person.
Looking at the villagers who bowed down to the demons, I asked myself, "Now is the opportunity to live your own life, do you dare?" ”
Later, Master saved me, and I became an exorcist, and then Master died, and I went down the mountain to kill demons.
The life of an exorcism is not what I thought, I didn't expect it to be so difficult.
However, longing is the farthest relationship from understanding, at least now, I truly understand the life I have chosen. As for the price to pay, it should be the tuition fee. You think I'm miserable, but I'm actually enjoying it."
"Good things are always expensive."
Li Xianhua looked at Li Gaimei in a daze: "Your decision is right." Li Nali should return to the Order, only where she can be safe, tomorrow Marshal Koros is here, you can go, the night is long and dreamy. ”
"Oh, by the way, let me tell you a secret: it's not the first time I've met you," Li Xianhua smiled mysteriously, "I've known you for a long time"
"What nonsense are you talking about," Li Gaimei looked incredulous.
"I'm not going to the Black Order!"
There was a small figure standing at the door, looking at Li Gaimei and Li Xianhua with tears in her eyes, she had been eavesdropping outside.
Li Nali threw herself into Li Gaimei's arms and beat her brother hard: "My brother is a liar!" Brother Xianhua is also a liar! I don't want to go to the Black Order! Don't be separated from you! ”
"Li Nali!" Li Gaimei held her sister's hand, "Listen to me, only the Black Order can guarantee your safety now." Don't be willful! ”
"What about you? Will the Black Order keep you safe? ”
Li Gaimei was speechless.
Li Nali cried even harder: "Woo woo if my brother is gone, what should I do, brother, don't leave me"
The foursome of the exploration troops heard the cry and ran in as well. After hearing what happened, I didn't know what to say.
The night was long, and the six men in the room were helpless in the face of a crying little girl.
