Chapter 7: The figure in the sunset, and the hometown
"Ding! Complete 4 side quests at the same time to get an extra bonus of 5000 Coins! ”
With the last broadcast of the system, Lu Yu also sat down on the ground tired and paralyzed.
At this moment, the sun is setting, and the distant and vast sky is sprinkled with bright blood.
Outside the Great Wall, the desert is lonely and the yellow sand is flying.
Throughout the ages, the footprints left by the ancestors and the present people have long been transformed into a long ancient road, symbolizing the endless vastness and the trampling of historical years.
The sky is long, the earth is vast, everything seems to be immersed in silence, only the eternal sun in the sky, according to the rules between heaven and earth, rises in the east and sets in the west.
"It's rare to have such a peaceful moment."
Hua Mulan stood on the Great Wall, her posture was sassy, her hands were on the hilt of the sword, staring at the sunset in the west, and she couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Every day, she and all the companions who guard the Great Wall are in a state of extreme mental tension.
Because, whether in the dark or in the open, there are many enemies who covet the Great Wall and Chang'an within the Great Wall.
Peace and tranquility, no matter what the moment, will be completely broken.
At any time, war could break out.
At any time, there can be a crisis.
What he guards is not only the Great Wall, but also the peace and contentment of the people behind him.
Thousands of lives are under their protection.
Today, it is finally a rare time of tranquility for her to stand on the Great Wall, gazing at the sunset and thinking about the past.
Hua Mulan gently removed the helmet, and her soft hair was scattered when she landed, reaching her waist, exuding a faint fragrance.
The bright red hair, which contrasts with her red armor, corresponds to the indelible blood in Mulan's heart.
At this moment, she stands on the Great Wall, under the sunset, heroic.
The steel-like arms, like a thick city wall, firmly guard the Great Wall and the hearts of the people.
The tall posture, although not as slender as a willow like an ordinary girl, gives people a sense of security.
It seems that as long as you hide behind her, you will have absolute safety.
The blood-red sunset sprinkled the afterglow on Mulan's cheeks, shining her soft and resolute face more and more brightly.
The delicate silhouette is rendered with a round of golden brilliance, which is divine.
The eyes as pure as agate were full of absolute firmness and faith.
Looking at this beautiful scene, Lu Yu's heart couldn't help but be a little surging.
But for some reason, Lu Yu's heart was a little unbearable.
In fact, just now Hua Mulan said, "Is there such a peaceful moment", he can understand that there are too many things that Mulan has to do on weekdays.
Mulan is a very good general, and she is also admired and awed by everyone.
But, before she became a general, she was just an ordinary girl, right?
However, this ordinary girl used her soft body to wear such heavy armor;
With meager strength, resist the heavy sword that cuts through thousands of evils and saves countless lives.
Who says women are inferior to men?
Guarding the Great Wall, fighting against evil, and defending the people, Mulan's determination and belief are incomparably strong and unshakable.
At this point, few people can compare with her.
She ignored her identity as a girl and everything she sacrificed herself, and threw all of it into the important things she wanted to protect.
It's hard to imagine how Mulan overcame other people's objections and strange eyes, as well as those enemies who are a hundred or a thousand times better than herself, and only leave her strongest side to her teammates.
But...... Actually, Mulan must be very tired......
She was supposed to be a young girl, and there should have been a broader and more wonderful life waiting for her.
However, if Mulan gives up everything she is guarding now, then she will no longer be the hero she is a household name with.
What is given up and what is gained will eventually be reciprocal.
Perhaps, this is the fate of fate.
She will inevitably use the sword in her hand to wipe out the nine wilds.
Born fearless, fight to the end.
The blood-colored sunset stretched Mulan's shadow very long, just like her majestic momentum, and soared into the sky.
"Lu Yu."
Just when Lu Yu was looking at Mulan's back and was alone in a daze, Mulan suddenly spoke.
"Well, is there something wrong with Sister Mulan?"
Lu Yu quickly stood up, dusted off his body, and walked quickly to Mulan's side.
"Where is your hometown?"
Hua Mulan turned her head slightly, looked at Lu Yu with a pair of eyes, and smiled softly.
"My hometown, ......"
Lu Yu is hesitant, he is a traverser, how can he have any hometown to speak of.
Is it possible to tell Mulan that she is an earthling?
"If you are too far away from home, you will forget your hometown. Kill too many people and forget yourself......"
Without waiting for Lu Yu to find a suitable wording, Hua Mulan said silently, and the corner of her eyes probed to a touch of blood in the sky again.
At the same time, her gaze became a little gloomy, but it was only for such a brief moment before she withdrew it.
There is not a trace of fluctuation.
"There are many people who have forgotten their hometown, including those who have forgotten their identity."
"My hometown is really a place that can be hoped for but cannot be reached."
"Lu Yu, I have a request, if it's you, you must remember your hometown...... Also, in your hometown, watch over your old people. ”
Hua Mulan bowed slightly, and shifted all her eyes to the last sunset on the horizon.
"Hmmm......"
Lu Yu nodded a little smugly.
For him, whether he can go back to the original world is still a question.
However, the hometown ......
Presumably, Mulan must also miss her hometown and relatives.
However, the heavy responsibility of protecting the Great Wall is inherently in conflict with these.
As long as the Great Wall is not peaceful for a day, Mulan may not put her mind elsewhere.
In the long wind and sand and battles, the little memories hidden in my heart are also slowly fading.
"By the way, Lu Yu, tonight, how about standing guard with me?"
When the sunset finally set on the horizon and disappeared into the endless sky, Mulan finally turned around and looked at Lu Yu with a smile.
I have to say that although Hua Mulan, as a general, is resolute and resolute, and her words and deeds are awe-inspiring, her smile is extremely gentle and charming, which is no less than a big killer for a teenager like Lu Yu.
"Standing guard together?"
Lu Yu repeated it like a repeater.
"yes, interested?"
Hua Mulan asked with a smile, looking at Lu Yu, waiting for his answer.
