The Stone of Life (Part II)
"It's a long way off, Mr. Smith." Malsham stood at the front of the line and clenched his fists in apology.
"Where, where, I need to ask you to take care of me," he said, then turned and continued, "This is my attendant, Lady Yonako, Yonako, take out the things." ”
"Yes." I saw Ms. Yonako take out a delicate wooden box in her hand.
"A small respect, not enough to worry about."
Mr. Smith took the wooden box from Ms. Yonako's hand and handed it to Marsham in front of him.
"Thank you."
"This is a gift for everyone, open it and take a look, do you like it?"
The box in Malsham's hand contains some valuable jewelry.
"I like it." Malsham's eyes lit up in an instant.
"If you like it, it's fine."
Marsham was so dazzled by the jewels in front of him that he forgot what was important in front of him----- received Mr. Smith, so Glenn stepped forward, poked Malsham in the waist with his elbow, and went on to say on her behalf: "Mr. Smith must be tired all the way, please come in, tea is ready in the house, and you are waiting to be seated." ”
"Okay."
Ms. Yonago followed Mr. Smith in the lead.
"Have you forgotten your dual identity as the boss of the Zhiyong Regiment and the mistress of the Zhiyong Palace. No matter who he is, even a stranger will laugh at us when he sees us like this. Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and the majesty we built up with great difficulty was ruined by you. I think you were a jewel in your last life, and you've loved such cheesy things so much in your life. Gran whispered a rebuke to Malsham.
"It's not that serious. I'm sorry, but you also know that when I see jewelry, my heart is itchy, and when I am itchy, I will fall into my own world, and when I fall into my own world, I will ......" Malsham looked aggrieved.
"Forget it, take it, I'm going to choose a good-looking one."
Gran snatched the jewel box from Malsham's hand and picked it up.
Jirek and Taslow fell to the ground speechless, while Li Wan'er secretly laughed.
"Mr. Smith, please be seated." Lily first brought Mr. Smith tea and then distributed it to everyone in turn.
"Thank you."
Lily nodded and stepped aside.
"I feel different from other places when I come here, I didn't expect even your maids to be so good."
"Thank you for complimenting, and indeed I recognize that each and every one of you is excellent, so please rest assured and boldly believe that we have the ability to protect your personal safety." Marsham was particularly serious at this time, quite the style of the boss of the Zhiyong Regiment and the mistress of the Zhiyong Palace.
"Okay, okay, because I have some things to do here, and it's not safe to stay in a hotel, so I have to stay here for a few days, so I can disturb you."
"It's our pleasure!" Malsham said firmly.
"I'm going to stay, and I'm asking if it's inconvenient for Fang to do it." The glutinous rice balls followed the aroma of the tea to the hall, and there were more mouths by the way.
"Tangyuan, don't be rude." Li Wan'er immediately got up and took it out.
"If I'm right, this is a rare beast that everyone wants."
Mr. Smith was too focused on the rare beast in front of him to hear what it was saying, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief for a moment.
"Yes, this rare beast belongs to the girl just now, and its name is Tangyuan." Malsham introduced.
"It's just a foodie, it's useless." Taslo muttered.
"yes, hahahahaha." This made Mr. Smith laugh.
"Hehehehe." Malsham had no choice but to laugh awkwardly.
"Mr. Smith, your room is ready for you, and Ms. Yoko's room is next door to yours." Lily saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she interrupted them.
"Ms. Yoko, let's go."
"Yes." Ms. Yonako glanced at Lily and followed Mr. Smith away.
"Well done." Malsham quietly gave her a thumbs up.
"Mr. Smith, please." Lily then followed Mr. Smith and Ms. Yonako, leading the way.
"It's good that Lily is smart, otherwise I would have really wanted to kick you off, Taslo." Malsham said with a fire in his heart.
"You weren't just because ......"
Taslo tried to extinguish the fire on her head, but the fire grew bigger and bigger.
"What did you say!"
I saw that Malsham's eyes were on fire, smoke was coming out of his head, and his fists were clenched tighter and tighter, and even a few tendons burst out.
"I'm sorry I was wrong!"
"Stop!"
Taslo ran forward with all his might, and Malsham chased after him.
Everyone left the hall, leaving Gilric standing alone, feeling in his pocket and pulling out a necklace, which he looked at in silence.
"Hey, everyone's gone?" Li Wan'er returned to the hall after teaching the rice balls, not knowing that everyone had dispersed.
Jirek even hid his hand behind him for fear that she would see it, but he didn't expect Li Wan'er to walk out.
"She had to be so confused that she didn't see me."
Jirek was amused by Li Wan'er's confusion, and then he once again took out the hand hidden behind him, put down the pendant, held it in the air, and ran through the window with a ray of light, and the light refracted by the pendant instantly filled the entire room.
"Isn't this the rare gem you took back from Malsham last time? You're going to make a necklace, are you going to give her a gift? ”
"Yes."
Li Wan'er was fascinated by the light that filled the room.
"Oh, no! Where did you come from? ”
Jirek was so frightened by Li Wan'er that she almost threw away the necklace.
"Do you think I'm stupid and didn't see you, hahaha, I lied to you, I wanted to tease you, but I didn't expect you to be so cowardly."
"Why don't you even make a sound when you walk, and you're not a ghost."
"It's because you're too focused on looking at the necklace, okay, and you ignored me when I greeted you," Li Wan'er looked disgusted, turned around and walked slowly, suddenly she stopped, as if she remembered something, and then continued, "If you want to send it, it's best to send it at night." ”
After saying that, he left satisfied.
"Hey, who said I'm going to give her! And why send it at night? Hey, Wan'er Lee. ”
Jirek looked at the necklace in his hand, and the rest of his face was puzzled.
Li Wan'er muttered after looking away: "Because people's feelings will become more abundant at night, it is the time when the feelings are the richest, people's psychological defense will also decrease, and it is easier to succeed in confessing at night, are boys so stupid?" ”
(Oh my God, isn't it a little experienced, funny funny.) )
Dinner time.
"Thank you for your hospitality, then you're welcome."
"Please."
Marsham replied to Mr. Smith with a smile, looking at Gilrick, the only absent person opposite, with some concern, taking advantage of Mr. Smith's moment of enjoying the food, she quietly asked Li Wan'er beside her.
"He didn't seem to be feeling well, so he didn't come."
Li Wan'er actually didn't know at all, but because she remembered what happened in the hall today, the whole person became gossipy, wanting to test how Malsham would react.
"You won't get sick." Malsham was visibly worried.
Li Wan'er smiled.
"Why don't you eat Malsham? I'm embarrassed to blame myself. Mr. Smith abruptly interrupted Malsham's mental activity.
"Ah, excuse me, please continue." Malsham immediately regained the smile on his face.
After dinner, Malham returned Mr. Smith to his room.
"I've worked hard for you today, go back."
"Aren't you coming with me? Marsham. ”
"I still have some business, you go back first, Gran." She pinched Gran's face and said.
"Okay, then I'll go back first." Gran moved his arms and walked away.
"Let's go, Taslow." Li Wan'er took the initiative to take Taslo's hand and said.
"Hmm."
Unexpectedly, he simply pulled his hand, and Taslo's face flushed slightly.
Malsham came to the door of Gilrick's house and knocked on it.
"Who?"
Gilrick opened the door and saw Malsham with a worried face on his face, and continued.
"What's the matter with this late hour?"
"Li Wan'er said that you are not feeling well, are you sick?"
Jirek knew what Li Wan'er wanted to do, so he laughed and said to Malsham in front of him.
"It's okay, don't worry."
"Who's worried about you?"
She blushed obviously, and Jirek was really, not understanding the mood, and said it directly.
"And what are you blushing about?"
Malsham was even more embarrassed by what he said, and in order to hide his little bit of confusion, he threw a punch in Gilric's face.
"That's Marsham."
Jirek rubbed the left side of his face, but even though it hurt, he felt a glimmer of happiness because Malsham was worried about him.
"Are you masochistic, and laugh!"
Malsham then felt guilty for what he had done, and wondered how he could beat his companion for his own selfishness.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay."
Malsham looked at Jirek, who was beaten by himself in front of him, not only was he not angry, but he also smiled so that he would not embarrass her, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he suddenly cried.
"Don't cry."
Girek held Malsham's face in both hands and gently wiped the tears from her face with his thumb.
"It's not good for you to cry when they see the stars in the sky."
"Jirek."
Malsham suddenly hugged Gilric.
Gilric's face was stunned, then laughed happily, touched Malsham's head and said softly in her ear, "This is not at all like the money-loving woman I know, Malsham. ”
"Look for death, you."
Malsham held back her tears and hammered the chest of the man in front of her.
"Marsham."
Marsham heard Gilric call her name and rose from his arms.
"Huh?"
Jirek put his left and right hands on Malsham's shoulders and said with a serious face, "Come with me to a place." ”
Malsham looked at Gilric and found that he suddenly had no smile, thinking that Gilrick had discovered something big, and thinking of today's absence was more convinced of his thoughts, so he instantly agreed and followed him to the grove outside the Zhiyong Palace.
"Can you tell me now?"
"So you already knew."
"How do you grind and chirp as a man, tell me quickly."
"I ......"
"What am I, did you say that you found traces of enemies nearby?"
At this time, the man in black who was hiding in a tree not far away thought that he had been discovered, and took out a dagger from his waist to prepare for battle, but what he didn't expect was to listen to their later conversation, and was speechless to fall off the tree.
"What a sound." Malsham tensed.
"Hey, no, you misunderstood."
Jirek fell to the ground instantly, then got up and patted his clothes.
"Malsham, didn't you like that gem very much last time I went to that cave, I made it into a necklace, huh."
Malsham took the necklace from Gilric's hand.
"I saw that you suddenly became serious, and with your absence today, I thought ......"
Before Malsham could finish speaking, Gilrick picked up the necklace in her hand and wrapped it around her back.
"I'll put it on for you."
Gilric carefully helped her to wrap her hair to the side, and his hand inadvertently touched her neck, which made her feel a trace of longing.
Jirek stood in front of her again, one hand waving in front of her eyes.
"What's the fuss, put it on."
"Ah, thank you."
"Look at the stars in the sky, so beautiful."
"The necklace you gave me is more beautiful."
Malsham held the pendant around his neck in his right hand, looked at the stars in the sky, and then looked at the smiling face of Jirek behind him.
"These two people are really anxious, they are obviously interesting to each other, and they have been holding it in their hearts!" The man in black in the tree actually looked lively.
"Phew, I'm here to oversee them."
The man in black suddenly understood the purpose of his visit, and when he saw that Jirek and Malsham had returned, he disappeared into the shadows.
"Yo, I'm back."
Li Wan'er teased, while Jiric squeezed his eyebrows at Li Wan'er, and Taslo, who was on the side, watched the movements of the two and hit Jirek hard.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see you."
"You."
"Did these two take the wrong medicine?" Gran asked Li Wan'er quietly.
"Probably idle."
Malsham asked, "Is there something you are looking for us?" ”
Li Wan'er: "It was Mr. Smith who found us and said that he had an urgent matter, and he would leave here early tomorrow morning, and he would probably come back in the evening, and we wanted to discuss with you how to arrange it." ”
Malsham: "Then I'll go with Gilric, and you, Gran, and Taslow will stay at home." Go back quickly, it's cold in the winter. ”
"Let's disperse." Gran yawned and entered the room.
Li Wan'er raised an eyebrow at Gilrick and left with a smile.
"Don't you like me anymore?" Taslo asked gloomily.
"What do you want, it's cute."
Later, Li Wan'er told Taslo the truth, and Taslow suddenly realized.
Early the next morning, Gilrick and Malsham left the palace with Mr. Smith.
Lily was sweeping the snow outside: "The snow is almost melting." ”
Gran has been unable to get out of bed because no one has woken her up since Malsham left.
"No, it's not!" Li Wan'er was awakened by a nightmare, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and got out of bed. Opening the window, a warmth entered the room, and she watched as the branches of the trees had grown dense buds, and the birds had flown back to nest under the eaves, and the snow could no longer cover the grass that had emerged from the ground.
"So spring is coming."
She changed into her thick clothes, put on her new spring clothes, and came to the door of Taslow.
"Taslo."
There was no one inside to answer, and the door was not opened.
"Taslo, are you there?"
Still no one answered.
"Where did he go? Never mind. ”
Li Wan'er saw Lily who was sweeping the snow outside the Zhiyong Palace, and ran to chat with her.
......
"So you used to live in this town."
"Hmm."
"We'll be a family from now on."
"Hehehehe." Lily let out a silver bell-like laugh.
"By the way, did you see Taslo? He was out of the room early in the morning. ”
"Ah, he seems to have gone over there, you can go and have a look."
Li Wan'er successfully found Taslo according to the direction pointed by Lily, and when she was about to run forward to say hello, she saw Taslo kneeling in front of a mysterious person, and felt very strange about his behavior, so she hid not far from him.
"What have these people been doing lately? What did you hear about that treasure chest? ”
"Yesterday a businessman named Smith came to give some material help to the rebels. The treasure chest only opened the first layer, and Li Wan'er got a 'Life Stone', which is currently unknown to the specific function. ”
"Wait until the merchant comes back and kills him, and as for the others, you can take care of it."
With that, the mysterious man disappeared in front of Taslo.
Li Wan'er covered her mouth in disbelief and immediately ran back to the room.
At this time, a knock was remembered at the door.
"Who?"
Li Wan'er opened the door and saw Taslo.
"Ah, what are you doing here?"
Li Wan'er was a little scared of Taslo in front of her.
"What's wrong with you, why are you sweating on your forehead."
Li Wan'er became a little flustered.
"I just ran for exercise, and you can see it's getting hot."
"I heard Lily just say that you are looking for me, what is the matter?"
"It's okay, you go and get busy with you." After speaking, Li Wan'er locked the door heavily.
She breathed a sigh of relief, then sat down in front of the window and thought carefully about what had just happened, she still didn't believe it, she chose to believe in Taslo's character.
Taslo, who was at the door, didn't understand what was wrong with Li Wan'er, shook his head and left.
Because Tangyuan was hungry, Li Wan'er went out to help it find food, and on the way to the kitchen, she suddenly saw a black shadow flashing in front of her.
So she followed.
She saw the shadow come to Gran's room.
"Taslo!" Li Wan'er was so frightened that she almost yelled, and she hurriedly covered her mouth to avoid making other sounds.
Taslo was holding a bowl of something in her hand, which was black and smoky, and she saw Gran invite him in, and when she tried to follow in, the man behind her grabbed her.
"Sister Wan'er, I need your favor."
"I ......"
"Come on."
Li Wan'er was dragged away to the kitchen.
"They've heard from Marsham that you're pretty good at making things, so I'd like to ask you some tips."
"Ah, it's fine."
Li Wan'er thought to herself that Taslo had just brought Gran a bowl of things she didn't know, and there was no evidence that he had any bad ideas, so she thought that she must have been overly worried, so she settled down and taught Lily.
"Ahhhh
Gran's cry resounded throughout the Zhiyong Palace.
Li Wan'er and Lily came to Gran's side as fast as they could.
"Gran, who harmed you." Li Wan'er picked up Gran in a pool of blood.
"It's him......" fainted before he could finish speaking.
Li Wan'er hurriedly helped Gran to bed and healed her injuries.
Taslo's delay in showing up made Li Wan'er suspicious.
Mr. Smith: They returned to the Warriors early because they ended things early.
After Malsham sent Mr. Smith back to his room, Lily found her, and she hurried to Gran's room.
"What the hell is going on?" Marsham asked Li Wan'er, who was guarding the bedside.
Li Wan'er told Marsham everything she had seen.
Jirek: "Then you can't find Taslo, can you?" ”
Li Wan'er nodded silently.
"Oh no, Mr. Smith is dead!"
Ms. Yonako suddenly found Li Wan'er, and they shouted.
Marsham: "What! ”
Malsham was a little out of breath.
Marsham: "Gilric, you stay here and take care of Gran. ”
Come to Mr. Smith's room.
Li Wan'er asked Ms. Yonzi, who was a little choked with fright in front of her, "What's the matter, aren't you with Mr. Smith?" ”
"I was going to get some pastry from the kitchen for Mr. Smith, but when I came back, I found that Mr. Smith was out of breath."
With that, Ms. Yonako burst into tears.
Li Wan'er came to the window, picked up a rag hanging in front of the window, and said, "This is from Taslo's clothes." ”
She hugged Malsham and cried, unable to accept the facts before her.
"Don't cry."
There was nothing Malsham could do either.
"Bastard!"
Outside, Gilrick's voice was heard, and they followed him to Gilrick.
"There are still people who come to die, so I will be merciful and send you on your way."
"Be careful!" Li Wan'er used water magic to block the countless ice blades in front of her.
Marsham: "Li Wan'er, you cover us, Jirek attacks from the front, and I sneak attack." ”
Li Wan'er: "Okay. ”
Jirek: "Look at the move." He used spatial magic to try to control him.
"You're done."
Malsham took advantage of the opportunity that Giric had seized and had already made a successful sneak attack.
"It's a couple of hits."
The man patted his sleeve and said, "Don't you care about that companion named Taslo?" ”
Li Wan'er: "What do you mean! ”
Enemy: "It's very simple, it doesn't feel good to be betrayed." ”
Li Wan'er: "It's uncomfortable, but you should also get the punishment you deserve for hurting others." ”
After Li Wan'er finished speaking, she rushed to the enemy's side.
The enemy suddenly sneered.
At this time, I don't know where Taslo came from, and ran in the direction of Li Wan'er with all his strength, and at the same time he drew his sword.
Li Wan'er quickly took out the dagger on her waist with her other hand.
Without hesitation, Taslo stabbed his enemy in the chest.
"You ......"
Looking at Taslo, who was stabbed in the waist by the enemy's hidden weapon in front of him, Li Wan'er's trembling hand let go of the dagger inserted into Taslo's heart, took a few steps back tremblingly, shed tears, and whispered to herself: "I'm sorry." ”
Taslo slowly turned his head and didn't forget to smile and comfort her: "It's okay if you're okay, don't cry, Wan'er doesn't look good when you cry." ”
Li Wan'er's hands were stained with Taslo's blood, and she watched as Taslow fell from her eyes.
Li Wan'er finally couldn't help the sadness in her heart and collapsed: "Taslo! Taslo! Ahhh I'm sorry! ”
She hugged Taslo, who had fallen to the ground and was no longer breathing, and wept bitterly.
"Hahahahaha, I really love you, I didn't expect a little trick to trick you around, do you say yes, Ms. Yoneko." The enemy looked at Li Wan'er's pitiful appearance in front of him and laughed.
Ms. Yoko: "yes. ”
Jirek: "Bastard! ”
Taking advantage of the enemy's inattention, Gilrick instantly came behind him, knocked him to the ground, stepped on his face, and restrained him with spatial magic. Marsham tied up the unarmed Ms. Yonako.
Afterwards, everyone learned the truth.
It turned out that Taslow saw a sneaky man enter Mr. Smith's room that day, Mr. Smith yelled, and Taslow broke down the door. In order to catch up with the murderer, he also jumped out of the window, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating and cause a great misunderstanding. After seeing Taslo leave, Ms. Yonako revealed her true colors and killed Mr. Smith with a knife. Later, the figure that Taslo caught up with was actually magical, and he reacted to the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and when he rushed back, he didn't expect it to happen later in order to protect Li Wan'er from being injured by the hidden weapon.
As for Gran, Ms. Yonzi tricked Taslo into helping her bring the contents of the bowl to Gran, and deliberately let Li Wan'er see Taslow enter Gran's room. Gran didn't want to eat the things in the bowl, but after hearing Taslo say that Ms. Mizi's bowl of things can delay aging, he drank it in one gulp, and after Taslo left, Gran, who drank the medicine, was weak, and Ms. Mizi took the opportunity to stab Gran, and wanted to kill Gran completely with the knife, but she didn't expect Li Wan'er and the two to come quickly, so that she didn't have a chance to be ruthless again.
Gran was fortunate not to hurt the vital injuries and gradually woke up.
Everyone watched Li Wan'er hugging Taslo and refusing to let go, feeling very uncomfortable.
At this time, Tang Yuan took out Li Wan'er's previous 'Life Stone' and said, "Now is the time to play my role." ”
Tang Yuan swallowed the 'Stone of Life', his whole body glowed, and then he bit his finger and fed his own blood to Taslo's mouth, only to see Taslo's entire body floating in midair, the wound in front of his chest healed instantly, and then returned to the ground, he opened his eyes.
"Wan'er."
He lived.
Because Mr. Smith had been dead for more than two hours, the 'Life Stone' could not revive him, and the 'Life Stone' could only save one person.
Afterwards, Ms. Yonako and the man who claimed to be the messenger of justice in the palace were imprisoned and sent to the island nation.
"Great."
Everyone was happy.
At this time, several butterflies flew beside Li Wan'er.
She and Taslo looked at each other and laughed together, saying, "Spring is coming." ”
