"I'll go first, and you'll follow when you're done, don't be left behind." Leo put away the heavy expression on his face, and tied the three Zhurong execution group prisoners firmly.

Park Cha smiled apologetically at the others, his eyes always looking good-looking. The sun was setting over the long river, the smoke and dust were filled, Zang Gu hugged Ling Ya tightly, feeling her body temperature, and cold tears flowed down the collar into Zang Gu's chest, where they converged into a pool of lake water. The water was rippling, and he was very distressed.

Zang Gu cupped Ling Ya's face and said softly and firmly, "Sister Ya, I won't let you cry anymore, as long as I am here, no one can hurt you anymore." ”

When Ling Ya heard Zang Gu say this, her whole person was stunned. This expression is what she wants to see day and night, but the person in front of her is never the Huo Qianbing who is haunted by her dreams, not him!

Ling Ya silently brushed Zang Gu's hands away, wiped away her tears, changed her face again, and quietly got into the carriage.

Zang Gu knew that he was always no match for the boss.

His blood seemed to have been extinguished, and he was silent for a long time, but he still stepped into the carriage together.

Xiaolong and Aunt Ming continued to travel east.

After leaving the Frozen Spring, Aunt Ming has rarely spoken. Xiaolong finally stopped asking about the ending of the story, looking at the sadness that appeared on Aunt Ming's face from time to time, he knew that this ending must be sad, so sad that Aunt Ming would never want to mention it again.

The little dragons don't know where the destination is, maybe they don't have a destination, in this world, where is there a safe place? Or, their destination is not far away, a place of hope that Aunt Ming calls it.

The winter of the Western Yuan is like the endless chatter of the old man, the days are always short, and the nights are long. When night fell, everything around them seemed to be dead, except for the campfire in front of them, which was still jumping tenaciously.

And every time Xiaolong looked at the vigorous jump of the bonfire, a strong loneliness would rise in his heart, and even if Aunt Ming was around him, he couldn't warm his heart at all. The bonfire reminded Xiaolong of the fire burning in the fireplace facing north in Lancheng's house.

He and his father and mother stood in front of the fireplace, and in the silence of the city, waiting for the dawn. It was a dream he had been repeating, and at the end of the dream, he always found that his father and mother would suddenly disappear, and no matter how he cried, all that was answered was the cold echo in the room.

"Mother!" Xiaolong struggled to open his eyes in Aunt Ming's arms, staring at Aunt Ming's face tightly.

"Dreaming again?"

"Well, I'm fine." Xiaolong took a deep breath of cold and biting air, and he realized that the dark night, which had been dead, gradually had light at this moment.

It was an extremely brilliant light that shone on each of the individual birches. It is constantly changing colors, like a great painter, wielding the brush in his hand and adding countless hopes to this dark world.

The little dragon couldn't help but look up, and countless colorful pythons shuttled through the air. The black curtain that was originally covered by dark clouds was completely torn apart under the whipping of the giant python.

The exposed sky was covered with stars. The stars kept twinkling, applauding the magnificent performance.

"Divine Light?" Xiaolong was stunned and couldn't help but stroking his palms and cheering. In this powerful aurora, he forgot the sadness and despair of his dreams, his heart intertwined with the ribbons in the sky, and his thoughts flew up.

"Ah, yes, it's rare." Aunt Ming said softly.

"It's so beautiful, it's the first time I've seen it!"

Aunt Ming touched Xiaolong's head dotingly, and felt the brilliance of the divine light with him.

"Aunt Ming," at this moment, Xiaolong's eyes were also rendered, and he asked Aunt Ming excitedly, "Father said that if a person sees the divine light in adversity, he will break through all difficulties and finally realize his dream." We see it, can we make our dreams come true? ”

"Dreams?" Aunt Ming saw the color reflected in the tears flowing from the corners of Xiaolong's eyes, "Your dream? ”

"I ......" Xiaolong pressed for a long time, and mustered up the courage to blurt out, "I want to see my father and mother again, and then live with Aunt Ming." ”

"Is this your dream?" Aunt Ming's face was suddenly covered with a layer of haze, and under the illumination of the colorful divine light, she looked extremely serious.

"Ah, no," Xiaolong didn't know where he said something wrong, and he didn't know what Aunt Ming was thinking at the moment, but the kind of obsession in his heart "Yes," Xiaolong broke free from Aunt Ming's arms and straightened his chest, "Yes, Aunt Ming, my dream, I want to save my father and mother, and then live with Aunt Ming!" ”

Aunt Ming's eyes were suddenly full of tears, and those crystal tears dissipated the gloom on her face, "Xiaolong, I'm sorry... Listen to me, I know that your parents are imprisoned under a certain tower of destruction, and I don't want to tell you that there are memories there that I don't want to mention, it's so bloody, I never want to hurt those innocent people, but I have to do it. I don't want to go back, but now that I have you, my child, I'm willing to sacrifice everything for you. ”

Aunt Ming paused, stood up, and faced the brilliance of the sky, "Let's go back, go and save your father and mother!" ”

"Really...... Are you sure? Xiaolong's eyes were full of tears, "Can I really see my father and mother again?" ”

"Ah, yes." Aunt Ming took Xiaolong into her arms, "It's okay." ”

"But I don't know where they are." Xiaolong looked up at Aunt Ming's graceful curved jaw, and the hope that had been kindled in his heart was extinguished again.

"Someone can know."

Xiaolong looked at Aunt Ming's firm eyes, and involuntarily believed in his heart that this woman was the strongest support in his heart.

When the sun rose the next day, the little dragon was still wriggling in the warm bear skin. It's been a long time since I've slept so peacefully, with a beautiful dream. In the dream, he held his mother's hand and chased his father in front of him, before the grass warbler flew to the white causeway.

What about Aunt Ming?

The little dragon opened his eyes to the first person he wanted to see, and he pulled out the stone from his arms. This is what Aunt Ming left him to protect himself. Hold on to the stone, and no one will be able to see him. I don't know when he holds this stone

Suddenly appeared behind Aunt Ming, would she be startled?

Xiaolong wanted to laugh happily when he thought about it. Aunt Ming must have gone to look for food, and Xiaolong is going to find her and surprise her.

The little dragon took off the bear skin and placed it next to the reindeer bell - a rare good day, take off the bear skin, and it will not feel cold - he secretly named the reindeer the bell.

Xiaolong pinched the stone and walked cautiously along a road, hoping to see Aunt Ming. In order to prevent himself from getting lost, he also made a mark on the ground.

Xiaolong was bouncing all the way, his wound aching faintly because of his vigorous activity, but he didn't care at all, he just wanted to see Aunt Ming as soon as possible, and then scare her behind her.

The scenery along the way was originally the same as what they had seen along the way, just tall birch trees, but Xiaolong now seemed to be sprinkled with dazzling sunlight on these birch trees, and everywhere was warm.

The little dragon was lucky, and when he walked behind a low cliff, he smelled a faint aroma in the air. This fragrance is the body fragrance on Aunt Ming's body, and Xiaolong is very familiar with it. He walked around the low cliff, the fragrance in the air became clearer and clearer, and the little dragon's mood became more and more pleasant. Aunt Ming is right in front.

Xiaolong walked to the front of a clearing and saw Aunt Ming with her back to him. Xiaolong smiled slyly, but was suddenly shocked by the scene in front of him. I saw the corpse of an elk gradually floating in front of Aunt Ming, and the corpse was wrapped in a circle of silver-gray mist. Aunt Ming's hands danced lightly in the air, and the carcass of the elk in front of her dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally only a layer of dead skin fell lightly to the ground.

Xiaolong covered his mouth and didn't dare to make a sound, he couldn't help but feel sick when he thought of the bear skin left behind after the death of the bear, which had been draped over his body. At this moment, Xiaolong heard a wail from his right hand, and this wail revealed a deep fear.

The little dragon turned his head to look, and saw the bear cub curled up there, shivering.

Little bear? Xiaolong's first thought was not to let Aunt Ming discover it. But it was too late, Aunt Ming was already walking in that direction, and she still had a military dagger in her hand.

Xiaolong didn't have time to think about it anymore, ran to the little bear, and said loudly, "Aunt Ming, please don't kill it, don't kill it!" ”

Aunt Ming heard Xiaolong's voice and smiled as she watched him run towards Xiaoxiong, and that smile was full of loneliness. I'm always a monster.

Xiaolong held the bear tightly in his arms, looked at Aunt Ming with pleading eyes, and said, "Aunt Ming, I beg you, don't kill it, it's as pitiful as I am, don't kill it." ”

Aunt Ming walked slowly in front of Xiaolong, and the bear in Xiaolong's arms kept struggling hard, trying to break free from Xiaolong's embrace.

"You think I'm going to kill it?" Aunt Ming's eyes were full of resentment, she was always just a monster.

"I ......" Xiaolong bowed his head in embarrassment, his face flushing to the base of his neck. He thought of Aunt Ming's care for him day and night, and blamed himself for not doubting Aunt Ming.

Aunt Ming shook her head slightly and untied it from her waist

Put down two raccoon dogs, cut off a small piece of meat with a dagger and hand it to the bear. The bear growled even harder.

"It follows us all the time, and I'm afraid that it will starve to death, so every time I hit the prey, I will leave it a little bit." Aunt Ming put the blood-frozen raccoon meat on the ground and took a step back, so that the bear didn't scream so much.

"I scared you just now, I'm not a human being, I only need energy, so what you see is me taking in energy, it's not good-looking."

"No, Aunt Ming, I," Xiaolong swallowed hard, "I'll get used to it, believe me, I'll get used to it." ”

Aunt Ming smiled and nodded, smiled and said, "Let it go, our road in the future will be very difficult, it will always be a burden." ”

Xiaolong reluctantly looked at the little bear in his arms, and the little bear gradually settled down in his warm embrace, looking at Xiaolong with teary eyes.

Xiaolong glanced at Aunt Ming again, there was a determined look in Aunt Ming's eyes, Xiaolong took a deep breath, and let go of the bear with great reluctance. The bear regains his freedom and escapes with a puff of smoke.
