Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Strange Mulan
When the whiteness of the fish belly gradually emerged in the sky, the vast desert once again ushered in silent vitality.
The wind and sand were howling, and the clouds were moving, staining the sky a pale cyan color, which was not in harmony with the yellow gravel.
Last night, Garo joined the group and suggested finding a place to rest.
After all, the vast dark night, coupled with the ominous, is really exhausting, and it is indeed necessary to take a break.
So, Mulan agreed.
Luckily, they found a village where the frontier people gathered after a short walk, and when they learned of their identity as the guards of the Great Wall, they greeted them with great generosity and prepared a sumptuous dinner and a warm place to live.
I don't know if it's because of the cold, early in the morning, Lu Yu walked out of the room, wanting to hug the temperature of the rising sun.
However, in the early morning of the desert, the temperature is still cold, and even the rising sun is difficult to use the heat to warm the entire desert.
"Huh, Garo?"
Thinking that he was the one who got up first, when Lu Yu looked at the endless desert, he saw a lonely shadow, wandering in the wind and sand.
Hearing someone shouting his name, he looked back slightly, and Jia Luo's face appeared in front of Lu Yu.
"Isn't it cold to wake up so early?"
Lu Yu asked, Jia Luo is not like Mulan, he has a strong body, such a soft and delicate body like willow leaves, even in the face of wind and sand, it seems that there is a risk of being suddenly rolled up.
"Whenever I look at my hometown, it doesn't matter if it's cold or hot, it's something outside of me."
Jia Luo smiled faintly, and there was a glimmer of light in his cold and noble eyes.
"Is that direction you're looking at Thousand Caves City?"
Lu Yu scratched his head, he felt that in front of Jia Luo, even if she had a slight smile, it was all a country and a city, as if a fairy had descended to earth, which made people feel ashamed of themselves.
Moreover, her voice is as beautiful as Juanjuan spring water, refreshing people's hearts, like the sound of a fairy in the sky, eloquent.
However, when it came to Thousand Cave City, Lu Yu suddenly remembered that Thousand Cave City was already in ruins.
"A thousand caves are blessed, peaceful and worry-free. Although the Thousand Caves City is now just a handful of scorched earth, the soul of the hometown and the civilization contained in it will last forever. ”
There didn't seem to be any special expression on Jia Luo's face, but from her slightly curled willow eyebrows, Lu Yu could also guess that Jia Luo's heart must be very uncomfortable.
I know that my hometown has been reduced to ruins, but I still have a lot of attachment to my hometown, which is really regrettable.
However, it also proves that Garo is a woman with a strong heart.
This is somewhat similar to Mulan.
If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago, and the memory of the homeland would eventually be extinguished on the path of self-destruction and self-abandonment.
"Lu Yu, where is your hometown?"
Garo's gaze looked back at the Thousand Caves City in the distance, and he asked casually.
"My hometown, ......"
This is the second time he has been asked about his hometown.
The first time, it was Mulan who asked.
At that time, Lu Yu had not yet found a suitable wording.
"My hometown is the Great Wall."
It seemed that he had found the most suitable answer, Lu Yu smiled, and was very satisfied with the answer that suddenly came to his mind.
As for why he thought of such an answer, it may be because Lu Yu's mind appeared the figure of Mulan.
"Then what you are guarding now is your hometown, which is good."
The corners of Jia Luo's mouth raised a bitter smile, but it was quickly covered by the yellow sand in the sky.
"Lu Yu, Jia Luo, what are you doing?"
While Lu Yu and Jia Luo were chatting, a loud voice sounded behind the two.
"Sister Mulan?"
Lu Yu was naturally the owner who could recognize this voice, and hurriedly turned around.
Jia Luo, who was beside him, also turned around without hurrying.
"Jia Luo, I didn't have time to introduce you last night, this kid is a new member of our Great Wall Guard team, Lu Yu."
pulled Lu Yu to his side, and Mulan's smile was a little unpredictable.
However, Lu Yu could see that this was not a kind smile.
"Actually, I've heard rumors about Lu Yu before."
Garo chuckled, gently pulling back a few strands of purple hair from his forehead.
"Rescued you from the demon seed army and defeated the armor, Lu Yu's strength should be very strong."
After that, Jia Luo's soft eyes looked at Lu Yu, with a vague smile, as if he wanted Lu Yu to confirm what he said.
"Hehe, it's not that powerful."
was praised by Jia Luo, Lu Yu laughed a little embarrassedly, but the face of Mulan next to him didn't seem to be very good-looking.
"Let's go, Lu Yu, it's time for breakfast. Also, don't forget my porridge. ”
......
When they were having breakfast, when Lu Yu walked in with a bowl of special porridge, everyone couldn't help but be attracted by the charming aroma.
"Sister Mulan, please use it slowly."
Gently bringing the preserved egg and lean porridge to Mulan, Lu Yu said with a smile, he was now very confident in his cooking skills.
"Well, it smells so good."
Sniffing gently, Mulan couldn't help but sigh again, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
While the others looked at the half-chewed meat buns in their hands, it didn't seem to be so fragrant......
"Lu Yu, I didn't expect you to be able to cook."
When Lu Yu found a place to sit down and was about to nibble on the meat bun, Jia Luo came over and sat down beside him very naturally.
"Well, actually, I learned from the promise."
Lu Yu scratched his hair, always feeling a little unnatural.
"Don't be modest, there aren't many boys who can cook now."
I don't know what purpose it is, is it because I am testing myself? Jia Luo's attitude towards himself made Lu Yu always feel a little close.
"Lu Yu, what are you doing sitting so far away, come sit next to me, I have something to discuss with you."
Mulan, who was drinking porridge, suddenly stopped the spoon and said solemnly, but her eyes seemed to be a little erratic.
"Sister Mulan, what's the matter?"
When Lu Yu hurriedly pulled out and sat next to Mulan, he found that Mulan's face had returned to normal.
"I forgot just now, it's not a big deal anyway, let's continue to have breakfast."
Continuing to pick up the spoon, Mulan continued to drink the porridge as if nothing had happened.
And Lu Yu was confused.
How does he feel that today's Mulan is a little weird......
