CHAPTER XV. Barbecue, night talk, fireflies
"I said, are you really at ease with the North and that little bear? Just let them out? “
"Peace of mind, peace of mind, they'll be fine. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Mu Lishi gently flicked the bamboo skewer in his hand, so that the beast flesh that ran through it was evenly scorched by the flames. Said with a smile to the outlying islands.
"Peace of mind? What a peace of mind do I have! It's not like you haven't seen that a bear can break such a thick bamboo! What does this mean? “
"This shows that the creatures in this neighborhood are very powerful, so it is dangerous to let the north and the bear cub look for food outside. I see what you're trying to say. Mu Lishi shrugged and sprinkled a handful of spices on the meat. But if I dare to do this, I must be prepared. Mu Lishi divided half of the barbecue in his hand and handed it to the outlying island, "Come on, how about you taste it." “
I tasted it on the outlying islands, and there was a fragrance of grass. This has never been experienced in the past life of the outlying islands. "As far as I can tell, it's delicious." The voice became smaller and quieter, and at last Hachishima said the last half in an almost imperceptible voice: "Thank you." “
"Here, try this again. Take a small bite or you'll regret it. “
"Oh...... Yes! Water, water, water! ”
"Here, I told you you you can't eat too much." Looking at the outlying islands that were desperately drinking water, Mu Lishi smiled happily.
"I don't take you like this!" The outlying island glared at Mu Lishi angrily, "What kind of smell is this!" It feels like it's going to burn in my mouth! ”
"Spicy. You haven't eaten it so it's not quite comfortable. Mu Lishi said and took out another plant. The one just now should be a chili pepper, so I'll take a look at this one, the black seeds, the smell is strong. Should it be black pepper? Sprinkle and taste. “
"I mean, when the hell did you collect so many things? And, is it possible that you don't know what these are? “
"This morning, you woke up so late, and I collected a lot of stuff. I've had it too, but I've just never seen a chili. After all, we have a lot of spices there, but most of them have undergone a lot of mutation, so we have hardly seen the original spices. Come on the last one, try this black pepper one,"
"Hey, it's delicious! The smell is very strong. Give me another string. "And the outlying islands obviously like the rich aroma of black pepper and eat it with great pleasure. He also stretched out his hand to grab the meat that was still roasting in Mu Lishi's hands.
"Hey, leave me some!" Now Mu Lishi is also anxious. "You're going to make it later! I just grilled three skewers for you! Why don't you let me eat some too! ”
"Ti ~ Governor ~" The outlying islands launched a cute sale
"Okay, good, I'll speed up, I'll speed up, I'll definitely bake it for you." Seeing the outlying islands staring at him with big watery eyes, Mu Lishi knelt without the ability to resist.
"But outlying islands, do you know why I let the north out on its own?" Just as the outlying islands were waiting for the next wave of barbecue with great anticipation, Mu Lishi suddenly asked a question.
"It doesn't make sense, didn't you just say that you can go over and protect her at any time?"
"No, I actually have two deeper purposes for doing this."
"For what purpose?"
"North, according to you, she should be not small. But do you know why she's still like a child? “
"Why?"
"Because she's been living in a cage, you've protected her so well. So good that she has no need to grow. “
"She's still a child!"
"But she can't be a child all the time." Mu Lishi swallowed a piece of barbecue and handed another skewer to the outlying island. "If you keep treating her as a child, you're just going to hurt her in the end."
"If one day you all die in battle, have you ever wondered what will happen to the North?"
"I'm not going to let that happen." The outlying island swallowed the barbecue, and his eyes flashed with determination, "I once promised her that I would never abandon her." “
"But you know very well that you can't protect her forever. This incident is a case in point. “
"yes, you're right." Speaking of this, the outlying islands also looked a little gloomy, "In the end, I'm too weak." If I could be a little stronger, I could beat you. "But......
But I'm glad I wasn't that strong......
"You, you still haven't found the point." Mu Lishi was really helpless at this time. "But forget it, I originally agreed to go out in the north just so that she could witness her choice."
"What choice did she make?"
"I asked North at the time, and I told her that if she went out with the bear now, there was a good chance that the bear would run away or be in danger. I asked her if she wanted you to stay with her. But she said no, she chose to trust her choice. So I went with her. Mu Lishi blew out the flames on the bamboo skewers, handed the charred bamboo skewers and the slightly black barbecue on them to the outlying islands, and ate another pitch-black barbecue in two bites.
"Huh?" The outlying islands were very surprised this time.
"You've always treated her like a child, but she knows a lot about it. She's not a kid anymore. But in front of you, she retains the child's innocence, only because she can only be at ease in front of you. Mu Lishi slowly cut off a piece of venison and stuck it on a bamboo skewer, "Otherwise, why do you think she would accept my conditions at that time?" She doesn't want to lose you. That's why she made that decision. It is also because of this that I gave her the freedom to choose. Let her witness her price. “
"The price?"
"She might lose that bear and watch her run away. Or watch the threat approach, but I'm not going to do it until the end. She deserved it. “
"What does she deserve?"
"The price she has to pay for her actions. "Mu Lishi took another piece of bamboo and turned it into a bamboo stick" Freedom and independence are not gratuitous, and each of us has to pay the price for our choice. North she made her choice, and she had to pay for her choice. It's part of growing up, too. Only by calmly facing loss can we truly grow up. ”
"But what if that bear cub doesn't run away or is injured or dies trying to protect the north?"
"Then it will really become my pet."
"That's your answer." The outlying islands were helpless at this answer.
"That's nature, your cherished family and friends are always more important than anything else."
"Then am I also your family?"
Hearing this question, Mu Lishi paused for a moment, then touched the head of the island with a smile, "Yes, you and the north are the most cherished kind of family members I cherish." He just smiled and said his most sincere promise. Come on, do you want to barbecue or not? “
"Yes!" The outlying islands also smiled. It may be a blessing to have such an admiral
"Outlying islands, look." Just as the outlying island was waiting for the next barbecue with emotion, Mu Lishi stuffed a hard thing into the hands of the outlying island. And that thing...... It's still moving!
"Wow!" The island was so frightened that she wanted to throw away the living creature on the spot, but she still held back, although everything that happened now was unprecedented on the island, but she chose to believe, believe in Mu Lishi's promise, and believe that he would not harm her. So the outlying islands carefully watched the life in their hands. It was a small beetle with a yellow body with a long spine behind it.
"Leave the island, throw it up." The outlying islands didn't even think about throwing the beetle high in the air, and then watched it fly up in the air, glowing golden.
The next moment, countless fireflies rose from the grass. Lit up the night sky
