Chapter 21: Medals
"Roasted ...... Barbecue? ”
Lu Yu's mind couldn't help but make up the famous scene of "Let's go eat barbecue tonight".
However, since Mulan roasted it herself, she must eat it herself.
It's just that I just don't know, is this seemingly good-looking barbecue a dark dish?
"Ahh
First he closed his eyes, took a tentative bite, and then chewed slightly.
However, when the roast meat with crispy skin and tender and juicy meat juice overflowed in his mouth, Lu Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Wow, is it so good?"
Couldn't wait to swallow the first bite, Lu Yu continued to nibble on the second and third bites...... I ate with a mouth full of oil, and I got a little carried away.
He hadn't eaten a barbecue in a long time, and this barbecue was even better than anything he had seen in any restaurant before.
"How?"
Hua Mulan sat beside Lu Yu, her eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and asked with a smile.
Seeing Lu Yu eating barbecue with a satisfied look, she was also happy.
"Well, that's great."
Lu Yu gave a thumbs up and praised without hesitation: "Sister Mulan, it turns out that your cooking skills are also so good?" What a hidden chef, so it's time to keep the promise, right? ”
After eating the barbecue, Lu Yu was still a little unsatisfied, sucking his fingers.
If there is still one, he says he can continue to eat it again.
"Ahem, as long as you like it, it's fine."
An imperceptible hint of embarrassment flashed across Mulan's face, but it was hidden by her smile.
"That's right, Lu Yu......"
When Lu Yu was rubbing his stomach and was thinking about what to say to alleviate this sudden embarrassing atmosphere, Mulan suddenly spoke.
"Huh?"
Lu Yu looked back at Mulan.
At that moment, the eyes of the two people were intertwined.
Although it did not have the warmth and light of a campfire, the moon was like a silver plate, and the silver moonlight projected on the earth reflected the woman in red armor.
Her long, glow-in-the-dark red hair is as fine and smooth as sand
The jewel-like pupils are like a clear spring, without any impurities.
The face was slightly flushed, as if he was holding it in his heart because of something on his mind.
At this time, she is not a majestic captain, but a shy girl, which makes people want to be pity.
"Thank you, Lu Yu......"
Mulan hesitated rarely, slurping, but still said what was in her heart.
"Before, if it weren't for you, I must have died at the hands of that demon seed."
did not avoid Lu Yu's gaze, and Hua Mulan also felt an inexplicable nervousness.
Moreover, thinking about the scene at that time, it is still unforgettable for her.
"Sister Mulan, I appreciate your gratitude."
It turned out that Mulan came to thank herself.
Lu Yu was a little faintly lost.
However, he didn't show it in his face.
"This kindness of life and death, I, Mulan, will never forget."
Not perceiving a trace of Lu Yu's loss, Mulan continued.
"However, Lu Yu, if there is a next time, I hope that you can put the safety of the Great Wall first."
"If I fell, it would be nothing, but if the Great Wall ......"
"So, you mean, let me watch you die, do you?"
Lu Yu's voice was a little low.
“......”
Mulan was stunned, it was the first time she saw Lu Yu refute herself.
This made her a little unresponsive, and her beautiful eyes blinked and blinked.
Moreover, she didn't know how to answer Lu Yu's question.
"Sister Mulan, I know that in your heart, the status of the Great Wall is unshakably put first, but your life is also so important, at least, for me, that's the case."
Lu Yu never thought of himself as a righteous partner, nor did he feel that he had the consciousness to protect the world as his own responsibility.
The only thing he thinks about is that he just wants to protect the people around him, and that's enough.
"However, if everyone thinks so, then who else will guard the Great Wall, Chang'an behind them, and those people?!"
Mulan's voice also became sharper.
Although Lu Yu attaches great importance to her life, which makes Mulan very moved, she is a soldier and a general, and it is difficult for her to agree with Lu Yu's words.
If everyone only cares about their own lives, then who else will stand up and protect the Great Wall with flesh and blood?
"Yes, you are a hero, and everything you do is naturally for the sake of others, but how have you ever considered yourself? If you are too far away from home, you will forget your hometown, and if you kill too much, you will forget yourself, didn't you tell me personally? Why not save yourself before you save others? ”
Once you die on the battlefield, life falls like rain on the earth without a trace.
But the living must carry the sins and burdens of the deceased and continue to walk until death.
In the reciprocal future, you will eventually fall into the abyss.
Although it was a bit selfish to say this to Mulan, it was really Lu Yu's true thoughts.
"Lu Yu, do you want me to give up?"
Mulan's tone, with her cold eyes, gradually became cold.
“......”
Lu Yu was silent and noncommittal.
"If you're just worried about my life or death, then you don't have to stay here at all."
"The Great Wall Guards don't need selfish people."
With that, Mulan took out a medal-like object from her arms and threw it on the ground, making a "bang" sound.
"You decide."
He didn't say anything more, just turned away, leaving behind a back of steel and a sonorous cold armor.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Mulan gradually stepped out of Lu Yu's field of vision.
“......”
When the red figure disappeared into the night, and even the moonlight could not trace it, Lu Yu sat down again.
Some of them have big heads.
"This is ......"
Lu Yu's eyes were attracted by the medal that Mulan threw on the ground, reflecting the silver moonlight at this time, exuding a different kind of brilliance.
Carefully wipe off the dust on it, revealing the word "Great Wall".
Moreover, the pattern on the medal is very similar to the symbol of the Great Wall Guards in the game.
“......”
Lu Yu stared at this medal, his gaze a little glazed.
Is this what was meant to be given to you?
PS: If you are too far away from home, you will forget your hometown, and if you kill too many people, you will forget yourself. Died on the battlefield, life fell like rain on the earth without a trace. If at that time, you fall in love with someone. Hope will bloom again from the dirt and embrace life with enthusiasm. ———— "Mulan"
