CH.024 Depend on a flower for your life
In 1456, the Sangliu Empire launched an extermination campaign against the resistance forces entrenched in the southern part of the empire. The defeated Annihilation Clan scattered and fled. In the face of a powerful empire, none of them had the will to resist.
Mu Qinghan was nine years old, her mother had died when she was born, her father had also died in the war, and she only had one flower of oblivion when she was young, which she called Little Guduo. When the catastrophe of extermination came, she mixed with a fleeing team in Annihilation County. The leader of this team is their patriarch, who is also Grandpa Mu Gusheng, who has always cared for and taken care of her.
On the way to escape, she was petite and kept holding the annihilation flower pot, which was a little difficult. Mu Gu's voice was a little strange. "Light cold, put it down, so you can go faster. This is a flower that has not bloomed, it is useless. ”
Mu Qinghan opened his innocent eyes and said seriously: "Flowers will always bloom, I can't abandon them." This is a gift from my father, who said that only the spirit flower can make me strong. If I had been strong, my parents would not have died, and my people would not have died. I will be able to save everyone with my left eye, just like the patriarch. ”
After speaking, she looked at Mu Gusheng's left eye wrapped in gauze, it was that left eye that saved everyone and allowed them to avoid the massacre of the Sangliu Empire. And the parasitic in the left eye is a spirit flower called the chrysanthemum of September Mo.
Mu Gusheng looked at the persistent girl with mixed feelings. Heartache for this strong girl. As a young child, she had never understood the economy, the military, and the political system, and she did not know how bleak the future of the Annihilation Clan was. It is so dim that it threatens to disappear into the long river of history.
Their bad luck is still coming. In the snow-capped mountains at the top of the Jinyun Mountain Range, the fleeing Annihilation people met their strongest opponent, the puppet army of the Tianshui Alliance, who was controlled by the empire, and was known as the fourth stigmata. The disparity in strength of the remnants of the Annihilation Flower can only choose to escape, fleeing to the snow-capped highest peak of the Jinyun Mountain Range.
Along the way, countless clansmen fell in the snow and never got up again. His legs were numb, and he was hungry and cold. However, they did not dare to stay for a moment. Because, to stop means to be killed.
Walking and walking, Mu Qinghan was separated from the team. Ahead of her was the slopes. She had nowhere to go, and in front of her was the steep slope she had just climbed, and if she went down rashly, she would fall down the snowy mountain.
The footsteps of those puppet soldiers were getting closer and closer, and she had no time to think about anything else. Rather than fall into the hands of these people, it is better to control your own destiny, close your eyes, hold the little bone in your arms, and resolutely jump down......
After a long time, she woke up to a burst of help sounds. She didn't leave this world, she survived.
"Who is shouting for help, is he still trying to let me, a person who cannot protect himself, save him?" Thinking like this, it couldn't stop her powerful curiosity. She followed the sound and saw that there was no one around her, only cold snow.
"This ...... This...... It's me! The weak voice sounded again, and it turned out to be the flower bone, her only companion. The little flower bone that was far away from her was shivering from the cold, and it was hard to imagine that she, as a plant, would have the same movements as a human. Its voice was as delicate as that of a baby, full of endless weakness, as if it had reached the point of running out of oil.
She was more anxious than surprised by the flower bone that spoke. "Don't be afraid, I'll save you." She shouted at the little flower bone. I didn't notice that my feet were frozen and numb. And the price for her rushing down was that it rolled down again. Roll farther than that flower. The pain in the limbs immediately spread like pins and needles. She pursed her lips and left a few tears.
"Be careful...... Master. Little Guduo's weak voice sounded in her ears, and it was full of concern.
Mu Qinghan didn't answer, wiped his tears and climbed up again. Her only companion was still on the steep slope above, and she couldn't say it hurt, she had to save it quickly, or the little bone would freeze to death. She's going up up and staying with her friends who are so close to her.
Fate played a joke on her again, and when she was still more than a foot away from the flower bone, she fell again.
With her current physical condition, it would be foolish to try to conquer that snowy slope. This time she didn't shed tears, just took a little breath and climbed up again. She didn't want to bow down to this steep slope, which was only a few feet long, and she had the confidence to climb the high platform.
However, Mu Qinghan still felt that his body was inadequate. The heart is no longer beating as vigorously as before, but it is full of exhaustion like its own body. The frozen hands and feet became more and more numb. It was an unconscious numbness, and the slight pain before seemed to be unconscious, and the phalanges of her hands and feet were about to exhaust the strength of her whole body if they were bent, and all her movements were made subconsciously.
Step by step, grasping the cold mountain with her little hands that were red from the cold, she no longer felt sorry for herself. Now, she has only one thought in her heart, and that is to approach her little friend and carry it in her arms.
Not surprisingly, she fell down again a few meters from that slope. However, she still did not give up. She didn't believe that distance would stop her from Bones. She has nothing, no home, no relatives. Now, she only has small bones again. So, she had to save it.
The voice of consciousness always woke her up when she was about to lose consciousness. She attacked the snow slope that was close at hand but seemed to be separated by a moat again and again, and was abandoned again and again by the extremely slippery road. She didn't flinch a bit. When love and passion awakened in the wilderness, her potential and will became infinite.
When Mu Qinghan's little hand was already bloody and blurry, the little bone duo couldn't stand it anymore - "Master, you can go by yourself, leave me alone." Otherwise, we will all die! Mu Qinghan looked up at it, didn't say anything, and continued to go up.
"Master, master......" Little Guduo cried out in despair, her voice full of choked voices. It really can't imagine that a human can sprout so much power for a flower.
"I swear by Ling Tian Yao Yeqiong that if I don't die, I will definitely take you as my parasite...... I will protect her for the rest of her life. The slightly immature tone is an earth-shattering oath.
"Little Guduo, stop talking, save some energy! If you talk too much, you'll freeze to death. A voice interrupted its oath.
Xiao Guduo's love was infected with Mu Qinghan, and she was very cautious in every step she took next. Closer, closer. Her right hand had already touched Ah Bing's stiff blade, and then, her little hand, which was still very inflexible just now, grabbed it violently and got the small bone. "Got you." Mu Qinghan was excited as if he was reborn.
She stumbled under the snow slope without paying attention to her feet......
She clung to the little bone and let the mountain rub against her body. As soon as she rolled down the mountain, she shoved the small bone into her arms with one hand before she could feel the pain.
"That way, you won't be cold." Xiao Guduo didn't speak, but Mu Qinghan felt its trembling.
"We'll be together in the future, and I won't have to lose you again. It's good that you can talk, I can treat you as a friend. What does it feel like to have friends? To the partner in his arms, Mu Qinghan muttered to himself.
