Chapter 22: Between Each Other
Is this medal of the "Great Wall" that Mulan wants to give to herself?
It represents truly joining the team, becoming a member of it, and sharing life and death with her.
It turned out that she came to find herself, not only to thank herself, but also for such a purpose.
But, Mulan has already left.
Lu Yu also understood that what she had just said was a bit excessive, especially those words that were contrary to Mulan's beliefs, which must have hit her.
How could she, who fought bloodily, fought for the country and the people, and was ready to die at any time, tolerate those words?
I let her down.
But is it the courage or stupidity to help others in disregard of one's own life?
After a freeze-like dead silence, Lu Yu finally decided to get up.
It's too cold here, and it's hard for one person to resist the torture of the cold wind.
Especially after Mulan left, the chill here became even more intense, as if her throbbing heart was beating non-stop.
I don't know if the celebration banquet is over now.
With him who wanted to rub the warmth of the campfire, he went alone.
......
"Brother, where did the captain go just now?"
Baili Xuance was grabbing a chicken leg and gnawing hard, as if he hadn't eaten for a few days, his mouth was stuffed, and his speech was a little blurred.
"Surprise someone."
Baili Shouyue was carefully wiping the sniper rifle in Shou's hand with a white scarf, and at the same time did not forget to occasionally raise his head to look at Xuan Ce, his eyes were full of tenderness and doting, as if he was afraid that he would be lost.
"Someone?"
Baili Xuance tilted his little head curiously, and speculated: "Is it armor?" ”
"Okay, don't think about it, if the captain hears it...... Of course, if you want to wash tonight's dishes, I didn't say that. ”
Baili Shoujo smiled, gently scratched Xuan Ce's little nose, and then took out a chicken leg out of nowhere.
"Well, can't the food stop your mouth?"
At this time, everyone was already full of wine and food, and the original gloomy atmosphere was suddenly swept away, and it was extinguished in the warm bonfire and harmonious laughter.
The warm flame shone on everyone's slightly drunk faces.
I don't know how long it took, but the flames gradually became smaller, and many of the soldiers had returned to their tents to rest.
Kai and Su Lie were still sitting by the campfire, as if they were chatting about something, and the words they said were as inaudible as figures in the night.
And Xuan Ce had already fallen asleep like mud and fell into the arms of the covenant.
The covenant was to put his arms around Xuan Ce and softly coax him to sleep.
"At this time, the captain should have brought Lu Yu here, right?"
Baili Shouyue raised his head and stared around, a little puzzled.
This time, no, it wasn't what it was originally arranged.
Moreover, Mulan's shadow seems to be invisible.
"Rustling ————"
At this moment, there was a sound of light stomping on the ground from not far away, which was captured by Shouyo's sensitive ears.
"Lu Yu?"
Keeping the promise not only has good ears, but also better eyesight, and directly sees the figure under the night.
"Keep the promise, do you have anything to eat?"
Lu Yu smiled bitterly, he had just eaten the barbecue that Mulan gave him, but it aroused the hunger in his stomach.
"Hehe, here are some chicken thighs I left from Xuan Ce's mouth, you can eat them first."
Shouyo pointed to a few chicken legs on the grill next to him and whispered.
"Chicken ...... Drumstick. Xuan Ce wants to eat his brother's roasted chicken thighs......"
Even though he slept in the arms of the promise, as soon as he heard the word "chicken leg", Xuan Ce was like an instinctive dream.
Shou Yue gently stroked Xuan Ce's hair, looked at Lu Yu at the same time, and asked:
"Lu Yu, where is the captain?"
obviously said that he would meet everyone here, and then announced that Lu Yu would officially become a member of the team.
As a result, it has not appeared until now.
"Sister Mulan, I don't know where I went......"
Lu Yu's voice was not spiritual, which made Shou Yu, who was good at observing words and feelings, see it.
"What, between the two of you, did something happen?"
"I ......"
Lu Yu didn't know what to say, and the chicken leg that had been half-eaten in his hand suddenly became unfragrant.
As soon as my mind comes up, everything I eat is tasteless.
If Hua Mulan was angry with herself, and she didn't know what kind of expression would she show if she kept the promise for a hundred miles?
"Lu Yu, what's going on between you and Mulan?"
At this time, Su Lie and Kai also walked slowly, in fact, their attention had already shifted to Lu Yu when he arrived.
Especially the armor, from the very beginning, he listened attentively to what Lu Yu said.
No, when he heard what might have happened between Lu Yu and Mulan, he immediately came over.
"If you want to know, why don't you ask for yourself?"
Lu Yu was a little upset, dropped a sentence, and turned away.
Shou Yu and Kai and Su Lie, the three of them looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
"Lu Yu, then let me ask you, Mulan's medal, have you received it."
The armor stepped forward, exuding a powerful demonic intent that seemed to be nothing, and his tone was even more chilly, which made people feel a little oppressive.
Beneath the deep blue eyes is an irresistible majesty.
"Roger."
Lu Yu took out the medal with the team's logo on it.
"Do you know what that means?"
Armor's tone was no longer so tough and softened.
"This is the medal of the team, which means that in the future, we will go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire together, live and die together, and share weal and woe."
This is Lu Yu's own speculation, and he himself thinks it is very reasonable.
"You're right, but you don't understand what it really means."
The armor shook his head slightly, and at the same time, he also took out the same medal as Lu Yu's hand from his arms.
The two medals are reflected together, exuding a quaint glow.
"Our Great Wall team are all people who don't have a hometown, or even if they do, they can't reach it."
"This medal was made by Mulan herself. When she brought us together, we saw her not only as the most reliable captain, but also as our most valuable relative. ”
"People who don't have a hometown, or who can't return to their hometown, protect each other and become each other's backing, this is relatives."
"Mulan gave you this medal because of her recognition of you, and she gave you the back with confidence......"
Kai said lightly, Baili Shouyue and Su Lie on the side nodded silently, while Lu Yu was deeply shocked when he listened.
It turns out that this medal, which doesn't look special, actually has such a profound meaning.
It turns out that in Mulan's mind, he is also a precious existence like a relative.
People who don't have a hometown......
Close relatives......
The person she wants to protect must be one of them.
PS: The signing is finally here, and the author said that he will not break the update.
