Chapter Eighty-Three: Memories
"If I could understand this earlier, my strength might not have stagnated, and Su Ruijie might not have to die!" Xiao Mu clenched his fists, his eyes full of self-blame.
Su Ruijie, Xiao Mu's best friend in her last life, the relationship between the two is very complicated, like family, friends, and a little bit of a lover!
"Hey!"
Thinking of Su Ruijie, the corners of Xiao Mu's mouth inadvertently showed a smile, and the scene of the first meeting between the two couldn't help but appear in his mind!
......
"I'm asking you for a place!" Su Ruijie asked at Xiao Mu, who was walking towards her.
Xiao Mu walked past her silently as if he hadn't heard!
"Hey, little baby, ask you!" A man walked out behind Su Ruijie.
This is a middle-aged man, burly, dark skin, eyebrows, cheekbones, chin, the whole face is well-defined, thick eyebrows and curly hair, and there are some dense stubble on the chin.
Xiao Mu turned his head expressionlessly, and his tone was cold: "Don't you want to answer?" ”
The middle-aged man frowned and didn't speak!
"Hey, if it's okay, I'll go!" Xiao Mu said and was about to turn around and leave.
"Pretend to be your mother!" The middle-aged man couldn't hold back any longer, scolded angrily, and rushed towards Xiao Mu!
Xiao Mu was not in a hurry, seeing that the middle-aged fist was about to hit his body, his hands were directly crossed, and it was quickly covered with a faint golden glow!
Bang!
The middle-aged man's fist landed on Xiao Mu's pale golden arm, making a dull sound!
"Shhh
The middle-aged man gasped, he felt as if he had hit a piece of gold and iron, and the back of his hand was almost numb!
Shook his arms and took a few steps back!
Xiao Mu didn't fight back, just quietly looked at the three men and one woman in front of him!
"Those who have opened up the ability of the three tricks, no wonder they are so arrogant!" The middle-aged man frowned and shouted behind him, "Squint, help!" ”
Immediately behind him came a young man, this young man looked less than twenty years old, short stature, strong muscles, short hair, nose, mouth and other facial features were quite normal, but the eyes were too small, if you didn't look carefully, you thought they were narrow!
"Xie Hai, don't go over!" Su Ruijie stopped the squinting young man.
The young man was stunned for a moment, but still stopped!
Seeing this, the middle-aged man immediately became anxious: "Captain, this kid is too arrogant, I have to teach him a lesson!" ”
Su Ruijie rolled her eyes at him, and then walked in front of Xiao Mu in a few steps, with a somewhat apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, he's just a little short-tempered, and he doesn't have any malice!" ”
"I know, he didn't use his abilities just now!" Xiao Mu still had that light tone.
Su Ruijie breathed a sigh of relief and spoke again: "Can I ask you for directions?" We have something important to get to that place! ”
"That's your business!" Xiao Mu was still tepid.
Su Ruijie seemed to be angry, and the terrier was speechless!
"Captain, I think this girl is underwhelmed! What about those with the ability to do the three tricks? You and Squint are not all three-tricks, we will fight one of the four, afraid of him with a hammer! "Middle-aged people can't hold back anymore~!
"Old Wu!" Su Ruijie shook her head at him.
The middle-aged man snorted heavily, turned around and walked into the distance, he was afraid that if he continued to listen, he would be angry and hurt himself!
Su Ruijie took a deep breath, tried her best to calm her mood, and then said in a pleading tone: "We are a mercenary team, this time we are going on a mission!" If you go late, where can a lot of people die! ”
It seemed that Xiao Mu didn't agree, and she added: "You should have done a good deed, not only to help us, but also to help those innocent human beings, okay?" ”
"Alright, okay, don't talk about that! Say, where to ask? Xiao Mu said impatiently.
"A gathering place in Liuyang City, called Liuchuan Gathering Place!" Su Ruijie quickly said a place name.
"You're going to the Rukawa Gathering Place?" Xiao Mu's expression was finally a little moved, this gathering place was the place where he and his sister had lived for a few years!
"Hmmm! We've received word that we've been attacked by a beast tide, and we're about to rush to help! Su Ruijie replied.
"Hahaha!" Xiao Mu seemed to hear something funny, and laughed out loud!
"What are you laughing at?" The squinting young man who had not spoken all this time walked up, he felt that Xiao Mu was deliberately provoking!
Xiao Mu glanced up at him and said coldly, "Can't you laugh if you think it's funny?" ”
"You...."The squinting young man raised his fist directly.
"Xie Hai!" Su Ruijie shook her head at him slightly!
"Sister Su, he is deliberately provoking us!" Xie Hai said angrily.
"Let Sister Su handle this matter, okay?" Su Ruijie said and gave him an affirmative look!
Xie Hai hesitated, but nodded and didn't speak again!
"I think there must be a reason why you laughed so much!" Su Ruijie turned her gaze back to Xiao Mu.
"Clever! To tell you the truth, the news you got should have been half a month ago! Xiao Mu said in a very affirmative tone.
Su Ruijie frowned: "Half a month ago? No way! We just got the news this morning! ”
"I'm a permanent resident of the Liuchuan Gathering Place, which was attacked by the beast tide half a month ago, and everyone died!" In order to make her believe, Xiao Mu had to say this!
"Really?" Su Ruijie's eyes widened!
"Believe it or not!" Xiao Mu was extremely impatient.
"Lao Liu, check the communicator!" Su Ruijie seemed to think of something, and shouted to the middle-aged man behind her who had not said anything.
"Hmm!" The middle-aged man named Lao Liu quickly opened the backpack behind him, took out a dark green instrument the size of a brick, and began to fiddle with it!
After a while, Lao Liu raised his head again: "Captain, there is something wrong with the communication device, and the time is not right!" ”
"What is the reason?" Su Ruijie immediately asked.
"I guess I bumped into it during the previous battle!"
"That..."
"If it's okay, I'll go first!" Xiao Mu interrupted the conversation between the two!
After the death of his sister, his personality became extremely eccentric, and he just wanted to be alone and didn't want to communicate too much with people!
"Wait!" Su Ruijie walked quickly to Xiao Mu: "I have to thank you, if it weren't for your reminder, we might have to take a lot of wrongful roads!" ”
Xiao Mu just said softly, and he was about to leave!
Su Ruijie stretched out her white right hand and stopped him again: "Meet me, my name is Su Ruijie!" He is the captain of the 'family' mercenary squad! ”
"A 'family' mercenary squad?" Hearing this name, Xiao Mu wanted to laugh a little!
It's really dirty!
"Xiao Mu!" Xiao Mu Ghost stretched out his right hand as if he were in a god!
"You... Did you have any relatives who died in that beast tide? Su Ruijie hesitated, but still asked the guess in her heart!
"How do you know?" Xiao Mu looked at her suspiciously.
"There's clearly something wrong with you! We have no grievances with you, and normal people will not talk like you! After a pause, Su Ruijie continued: "And you just said that you have lived in that gathering place for several years, with your strength, if you didn't have relatives living there, you wouldn't stay in that kind of small gathering place, right?" ”
"Good observation!" Xiao Mu glanced up at Su Ruijie: "You guessed right, I have relatives who died in that beast tide, and that is my only relative!" ”
Su Ruijie didn't seem to care about Xiao's praise for her, and continued to ask, "So you think it's meaningless to live?" ”
"Maybe not!"
"Come to our mercenary squad!" Su Ruijie's eyes are full of sincerity!
"Why?" Xiao Mu asked.
Su Ruijie did not answer his question directly, but pointed to the middle-aged man not far away: "Lao Wu, who just started with you, he originally had two sons, two years ago, when the three of them went out on a mission, they were besieged by monsters, and both sons were killed, only he survived!" ”
Su Ruijie pointed to the young man beside her again: "His name is Xie Hai, we all call him squint!" Originally, he had a sister, but he didn't want to be taken in by a big man and was forcibly taken away from him, and in less than two months, the two were separated by yin and yang! ”
Then she pointed to the middle-aged man who was tinkering with the communicator: "That's Lao Liu, who has no children and no daughters, but has an old father, but unfortunately he was infected by the virus last year and died!" ”
Su Ruijie refocused her attention on Xiao Mu's body: "I believe you can also see it, the people in our mercenary team, they are all the same as you, they have no relatives!" ”
"That's why you're together?" Xiao Mu asked.
Su Ruijie nodded, and then glanced at the other people: "At the beginning, like you, I felt that I had lost the meaning of life, and I was confused for a long time!" But now it's different, I feel like I have family! ”
Xiao Mu glanced at her deeply: "I'll think about it!" ”
Su Ruijie nodded: "Okay!" ”
"Actually, you don't have to think of this place as a mercenary team, our mission is all voluntary, this place is more like a home!" Xie Hai walked over and patted Xiao Mu on the shoulder.
"Home?" Xiao Mu muttered to himself.
After a while, Xiao Mu's voice reached everyone's ears: "I'll join!" ”
"Welcome aboard, my family!" A bright smile appeared on Su Ruijie's face!
………
Tick!
Tick!
The sound of the rain crashing on the windows continues!
Xiao Mu came back to his senses and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Now that I think about it, the tone of my voice at the beginning was really a little flat!" ”
"I don't know how she endured it at that time!"
"Hey!"
"I'm sure I'll see you soon!" Thinking of Su Ruijie, Xiao Mu's depressed mood gradually improved!
Half an hour later!
"Forget it, what's the gain and loss?" Xiao Mu seemed to have figured out something, and his brows were completely relaxed: "Sai Weng lost his horse and knew if it was a blessing, at least they are still there in this life!" ”
Xiao Mu exhaled lightly and put his mind back on his research skills!
What skills can Control, Speed, Sharpness, and Extension compose?
He quickly had an idea in his head, and he began to take out a pen and paper to write, write, draw, and draw!
