After you left, seven days and seven nights passed.

You didn't come back, there was no news, and the enemy didn't retreat.

There are fewer and fewer of us.

I was so tired both physically and mentally that I felt like I couldn't walk anymore.

Maybe Wen Gao is right. Perhaps, you really can't come back back on the steppe.

On the seventh night, I couldn't sleep all night, and my mind was a mess.

I can't imagine life without you. I can't live like that.

When the morning dawn of the eighth day, my heart was filled with darkness, and everything was full of unreality.

I saw Fu Tianliang walking towards me. The expression on his face seemed very different from the previous two days. I think he's coming to tell me that the last moment has come and we've been cornered.

He spoke to me. I heard the voice, but I couldn't understand the meaning, and I stared at him blankly.

He grabbed my arm. I felt dragged by a force. I couldn't help but follow him to a higher place. He pointed me in the direction and motioned for me to see for myself.

I looked blankly in that direction. Through the trees, I saw the valley below the mountain.

I saw black cavalry covering the road in the valley. They wriggle like ants.

After a few seconds, it dawned on me: they were heading north!

I hit a spirit, and I came to my senses: they were evacuating! They're leaving the back mountains! Sure enough, as you said, after seven days, they began to evacuate!

At that moment, I didn't think it meant that we were finally out of danger. What comes to my mind is: this means that you are alive! You're alive! You did it!

I looked back at Fu Tianliang, and the same excitement was written on his face. He nodded at me.

We watched with bated breath as the black dragon moved little by little at the bottom of the mountain, and everyone in the team who was still alive watched nervously. We were able to hear each other's pounding heartbeats.

When the last of the enemy's cavalry also disappeared at the end of the pass, the ranks suddenly erupted in cheers. The young soldiers cheered and hugged each other!

From this moment on, they treat you like a god.

I watched their ecstasy and cheers. My heart is still heavy: this black swimming dragon, it is running towards you. It's going to chase you, it's going to devour you, it's going to strangle you. You draw all these violent forces to you.

Where are you? What's wrong with you? Can you come back?

You're alone in the black whirlpool, can I see you again?

After Mongina's troops abandoned Soushan and withdrew, we returned to our camp at Huangsangyukou, where we settled down and rested and armed.

Fu Tianliang offered to send someone to escort me to Linshui Town first, but I insisted on not leaving.

I must be the first to see you back, I must be the first to know if everything is okay with you, I must live and die with you here!

If you can't come back, I don't have to go anywhere.
