Chapter 12: Sunshine
The carriage drove through the clouds, speeding past the sparkling Hubo and lush meadows, and in a blink of an eye came to the border of Yuguo.
The interior of each carriage was divided into three compartments by a partition, Mu Zixin slept in the innermost, Ling Mu lived in the center, and Hong Bin and the two guards were crowded in the outermost compartment, leaning against the door, and outside the door was the driver who controlled the direction of Tianma's speed.
Mu Zixin fell asleep on the big bed in the car, his fingertips hanging down gently, and landed on the smooth little wine jug just right, and his cheeks were still slightly drunk. It's been a long time since I've slept on such a soft bed, the bed blanket is fluffy, and there is an elegant fragrance around it, and a trace of gentleness is reflected on my face......
She rubbed her hazy sleepy eyes vigorously with her rough little hands, as if she had just had a long, long dream, a nightmare that had frightened her, but at this moment she suddenly woke up, opened her bright eyes, lifted the curtain that blocked the window, and saw the sun again for the first time in ten years!
"The sun, it's the sun!" she shouted excitedly, almost jumping up, startling Ling Mu, who was closing her eyes and cultivating her mind, she pounced from the innermost layer to the outermost layer, and happened to pounce on Hong Bin's body, Hong Bin was sleeping soundly, and his head was buzzing by this inexplicable "extraterrestrial impact", his eyes widened in horror, but he was deeply shocked by the person in front of him......
This is...... Sect Master Mu?
In his short sixteen years of life, most of the memories were black and white or red—the Red Mountain killings, the side coolies...... Most of the people he saw were also black and white. Mu Zixin in his memory, black and white military uniform, black and white face, black and white voice and personality......
But at this time, the big sister in front of him, although she was still wearing a somewhat dull gray military uniform, the whole person was like a burning blazing flame, and her reddish-brown hair was fluffy and scattered in the air with her light figure, attacking him. Although he was sore from being knocked out, his whole body was still as hazy as if he was intoxicated in a dream, and this was the first time he had seen her smile so brightly.
Mu Zixin's finger pointed to the gap in the middle of the car door that was knocked open, and Hong Bin looked in the direction she was pointing - it was a bright light, which made him even more convinced that he was dreaming!
Mu Zixin got up and walked past him and pushed open the car door, Hong Bin watched her back melt into the bright halo.
The driver was so frightened that he hurriedly reined in the Pegasus who was speeding in the air, but the sudden braking directly caused the cars behind him to collide together, causing chaos in the rear. Everyone mistakenly thought that they had been attacked, and at the same time, their minds were full of doubts, after all, there were not many people who dared to sneak attack the Ziyun Mountain convoy in this Xuan Realm.
Mu Zixin jumped out of the carriage directly, and in front of her was a vast and boundless grassland, just like in her dream, the blue sky was floating with gentle and delicate white clouds like cotton, and the golden sunlight pierced her eyes a little.
Hong Bin awkwardly jumped out of the carriage and almost fell, he couldn't help but follow behind Mu Zixin and watched her run happily like a child.
"I've almost forgotten the last time I saw the sun......" Mu Zixin suddenly stopped, with a little sadness in his eyes.
"Me too, I can't even remember what the sun looks like!" Hong Bin smiled stupidly, covering his eyes with his hand that were burned by the sun.
"From now on, we will be able to see the sun every day," she looked back at Hong Bin and smiled from the bottom of her heart, "The dark days are finally over, Hong Bin, we will all live in the sun in the future!"
Hong Bin looked at her, her smile was so gentle, and her eyes were as bright as the sun in the sky. Her smile and the words gave him a sense of déjà vu, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
After Mu Zixin finished speaking, she turned her back to Hong Bin, but her eyes suddenly lost their light, and two lines of tears flowed from her eyes. She lowered her head, took out a palm-sized album from her pocket, and clutched it tightly, and the album instantly turned to ashes in her hand, blown away by the wind in the sun.
"I'll never let anyone hurt us again......"
At ten o'clock in the evening, the convoy stopped again, Mu Zixin and the elders got out of the car, and You Zhen and the elders of Mulong Mansion also walked out of the car.
"The next road is going in a different direction, so let's go our separate ways here. ”
"Well, my sister is going all the way, and Mulong Mansion is looking forward to my sister's enthronement ceremony. You Zhen kindly held Mu Zixin's hand and said playfully.
Mu Zixin touched her little head lovingly.
"It's not early, sister be careful on the road!"
"I know, sister should be careful, there is still a long way to go from here to the central border," she looked at Hong Bin, who was silent and in a daze on the side, "You are also Oh Hong Bin, look forward to meeting next time!"
Hong Bin's face turned red after hearing this, and he nodded a little shyly.
You Zhen returned to the car, and the Flame Tiger also saluted Mu Zixin respectfully, which made her secretly sigh, worthy of being a national treasure-level divine beast, it has been domesticated so humane!
"When did you and You Zhen meet?" Mu Zixin turned his head and asked Hong Bin curiously.
"Miss You Zhen is very kind and enthusiastic, she took the initiative to give me food and let me sit down to rest when I wiped the table in the dining room. Hong Bin said with some embarrassment.
Mu Zixin nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, but she didn't expect that You Zhen's little girl was completely different from her father's personality, which regarded herself very highly.
Just as everyone was about to leave, You Zhen suddenly stuck his head out of the carriage and shouted.
"By the way, Sister Zixin, don't forget to tell Brother Lingxiang when you see him again, Miss Ben will fight with him for three hundred rounds next time!"
Mu Zixin was so made by her roar that she couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to wave her hand and agree, but she suddenly felt a little lost in her heart. Ling Xiang, I really don't know when the next time we will meet again......
The convoy continued to move forward, Mu Zixin looked at the night scene outside the window with some distraction, the outside world is so beautiful even at night, at least the stars and moon in the sky are clearly visible.
"Young Master, we expect to arrive at Ziyun Mountain tomorrow morning. Ling Mu said through the door.
"So fast?"
"That's right, young master, you forgot, our convoy of Ziyun Mountain is imaginative, traveling thousands of miles every day. ”
"Ling Mu, I want to go to a place first. ”
Ling Mu was stunned for a moment, puzzled for a long time, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked with some surprise, "Are you going to Yanshui City?"
"That's right," Mu Zixin replied in a trance, "I want to go home first." ”
"Young Master, can't you change the day?As you can see, our convoy is huge, if we suddenly drive into Salt Water City at this time, I am afraid it will be too ostentatious, and besides, the news of your succession has not been officially announced......
"I know, but I just don't know if I will have the opportunity to go home again in the future...... Don't worry, tell the team to go back as originally planned, and I just need to take Hong Bin with me. ”
"By all means, my subordinates have already discovered that kid doesn't have any skills, and besides, it's too dangerous for you to go alone," Ling Mu sighed helplessly, "If you insist on going back, please allow your subordinates to go with you." ”
Hong Bin was not fully awake, he didn't know what was going on when Mu Zixin suddenly called him out of the car, and came to this strange place with Ling Mu's fairy staff......
