185 Steps

Xi Luo sat in the living room and waited quietly, with a cup of steaming flower tea on the table. The house was dilapidated but well kept, but there seemed to be only two people in the family, the mother and daughter.

It didn't take long for Wendy's mother to change into a golden yellow dress, but the color was not as bright as the one on the little girl, and the woman smiled slightly, revealing the same little pear vortex: "Sorry, I've kept you waiting." ”

Xi Luo's gaze stayed on the woman for a while, she was a beauty, and then noticed the shabby cloth bag behind her: "It's okay." ”

"My name is Roy, and I am the heir of the Shadu royal family." The woman lifted her skirt gently and saluted with a serious expression, "It is such an honor to meet the descendants of the legendary Princess Lanhiti in my lifetime." ”

"This package has been kept by our Shadu royal family for generations, and the things that Princess Lanshidi left for you are all in it. Over the years, we have been affected by the war on and off, and our ancestors have been on the run for many years, so hopefully nothing will be missing. ”

"It's okay." Xi Luo took the cloth bag, and inside was a small bag and a strange round and bulky object, "What is this?" ”

"The memory disk reader, our ancestors researched it, I can show you how to use it." Roy's voice was very respectful, and his words and deeds were much more princess-like than the ranching Lan Xidi who always thought back then.

"Okay."

Roy took out the round plate-shaped object and pressed and held the red button: "Turn on here, because I am worried that there will be a lack of power supply due to frequent wars, so my ancestors designed it to be solar-powered, and we will take it out and dry it every year or two." ”

As the screen of the disc lit up, Roy took out one of the readers and stuffed it into the center of the disc, a small folder symbol appeared on the screen, Roy clicked with his finger, and then divided it into a lot of small files: "These are all the learning materials that Princess Lanhilty saved for the children of the younger generations before the start of the war, which is more important than anything else in the hearts of our descendants." ”

"The reader also has a text writing function, on which each heir of the Shadu royal family will record the story of the Shadu people, as well as ...... Their letter to Princess Lanhiti. Faith in the princess is our new god and our tradition. ”

"If I take this with me, do you have a backup?" Xi Luo paused, "Will children's learning be affected?" ”

Roy smiled: "Don't worry, our ancestors have properly excerpted them into paper, some books are stored in the desert, and there are also a lot of books stored in the town, which must be enough." ”

"Do you have a lot of wars on your side?"

"It's frequent, but the town of Pease is too remote to be implicated here."

"That'...... Haven't you ever thought about going back to Shadu? Isn't it safer inside the sand? Xi Luo was a little curious.

"Shadu people have three loves in their lives, one loves the boundless desert, the second loves the scorching sun and warmth, and the third loves the gods come to the world. The kids wanted to stay outside and watch the sun, so we couldn't go back. ”

When Xi Luo listened, he didn't forget to nod: "Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person if you talk to me so much?" ”

"Don't be afraid." Roy had a smile in his eyes, "Legend has it that Princess Lanhiti also has a pair of silver-gray eyes, and from the first time I saw you, I felt that I must have met the princess descendant that my ancestors used to talk about." ”

"Thank you." Xi Luo didn't continue to ask, "If it's okay, I'll leave first." ”

"Wait, can I ask you a question?" Roy spoke a little hesitantly, a thin flush rising from her face, as if her question was hard to say.

Many thoughts flashed through Xi Luo's mind, such as whether she wanted to ask about her identity, or why she came to Shadu to find them after so long, or why she wanted to ask where she settled now, and finally Xi Luo nodded: "Yes." ”

Roy's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked in a low voice, "Do you know why Princess Lanshiti left Shadu back then?" I've heard from my grandparents that she went to many, many places in the world and never came back......"

"What do you think of it?" Xi Luo cleverly asked rhetorically, she stayed in Shadu just to help Lan Xidi take revenge, and if she took revenge, there was no need to stay, but unfortunately even if she said the truth, the other party might not believe it.

Roy's blue eyes were filled with moisture, and he was extremely excited: "Is it because the gods came to the world, so she went to spread great love all over the world!" ”

"......" Xi Luo was speechless for a moment, and could only secretly congratulate himself that he used Lanxidi's name back then, and no one would know that it was he who was ashamed, "I think your idea is quite reasonable." ”

Xi Luo now believes that the little girl named Wendy is Roy's own daughter, and both of them have the same thinking.

"Yes! My dream since I was a child was to be a good princess like Princess Lanhiti! ”

“……”

After a few simple echoes, Roy's eyes changed when he looked at Xi Luo again, as if he was talking to a best friend for many years, and he was reluctant to let Xi Luo leave.

At the end of a busy day, it was getting dark, but Xi Luo still said goodbye to Roy firmly, and she could still walk with her mecha while it was dark.

The return trip is not so anxious, during the day, Xi Luo took the fat ball around by the way, the battles here are also frequent, Xi Luo passed by the four cities, one is suffering from air raids, one is experiencing the rain of bullets, one has not been rebuilt after the disaster, and the last place is full of panic.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Xi Luo finally returned to the vicinity of the village, planning to take advantage of the dawn to go to the surviving cultural relics storage sites mentioned by the teacher.

If you have the money, can you buy the cultural relics back openly?

Xi Luo suddenly regretted a little, why didn't he take away the big boxes of gold he dug in the middle of the night last time! I don't know what Mrs. Wenhua will do with it after she makes a fortune.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, next to Xi Luo, who was passing by, two young men with Peace Daily also happened to talk about it, and Xi Luo also heard a few words.

"The newspaper said that Mrs. Wenhua said that half of the gold would be donated to post-war reconstruction and to buy food, and the other half would be used for construction funds, such as building schools for children and cemeteries for martyrs.

"Yes, the Overseer is too good at choosing a lady, and Mrs. Wenhua is beautiful and good-hearted." The young man was envious.

"That's it. My sister has long regarded Mrs. Wenhua as an idol, and she has a book at home, which she specializes in collecting the deeds and photos of Mrs. Wenhua in the Peace Daily, and she has secretly written letters. ”

"Haha, it means that your sister has a good eye."

……

Xi Luo didn't think as much as they thought, she only knew that the military advisor was going to be angry to death recently.

Tsk, a few big boxes of gold.
