Chapter 44: A Rainy Day Like Frost

A few of us browsed to the seventh floor layer by layer, and along the way, Ai Lian and Xiaohu were bluffing and excited, especially on the sixth and seventh floors, it was like exploding a pot, and even Xinhua and Rushuang, who had always been cold, also showed a little excited looks!

"From now on, this will be our second home!" I watched their excitement and announced in public!

"Wow! Rushuang and I want to set up on the seventh floor, and the boys will stop in the future!hahaha!" After Ailian's hearing this, she has already begun to divide the territory!

However, I guess Lian'er can only come to play a few times on the weekend, and her father will definitely not allow her to stay overnight!

I secretly observed Jiang Xinhua, an orphan in a sense, who was clenching his fists at the moment, as if trying to control his emotions, I glanced at the little tiger on the side, Xiaohu was clever this time, stepped forward and hugged Jiang Xinhua's shoulder, and said, "Leng Mianjun, let's go and pick a room!"

I also stepped forward and said, "Xinhua, you can also let your grandfather live in with you then!"

"That's it, that's it!" Xiaohu echoed!

Jiang Xinhua's eyes flashed with a struggle, but he said, "I'll think about it, it's a bit troublesome to move around!"

I also no longer forced him, and sighed in my heart, this freezing three feet is not a day's cold! Reality is not as easy as written in ordinary novels, as soon as the spirit of a king is released, everyone is convinced!

You know, the most difficult thing in the world to subdue is the human heart!

However, the days are still long, and I am not in a hurry!

The idea of establishing the base camp this time is to build my initial team, trust is cultivated by each other, and it takes time, including my trust in them. If it doesn't reach the point of life and death, I will have reservations about them!

This thought comes from the subconscious of my memory, maybe in the long years I have experienced too many betrayals!

Even if it's Liu Rushuang, I can't trust it 100% now, after all, she is loyal to the Dao Master! If the Dao Lord suddenly appears one day, it may be when she leaves me! Therefore, I have been hiding the existence of the mystery from her.

Thinking of Liu Rushuang, I looked around for her!

But in front of the window of a room on the seventh floor, I found Liu Rushuang's somewhat lonely figure, she was looking out the window alone, the sadness on her face seemed to be heavier than usual, and I could vaguely see a little tears on the edge of her eyes!

She seems to have hidden a lot of stories in her body, and she doesn't have the cheerfulness and liveliness that she should have at this age, and always exudes lingering sadness!

I approached her and asked softly, "Rushuang, what's wrong, are you homesick?"

At this time, it was actually raining lightly outside the window, and it was still sunny when I got here just now, this strange weather!

Rushuang has rarely mentioned her family to us, as if she herself came from nothingness, like the rootless duckweed! Unexpectedly, my unintentional words made Rushuang's shoulders begin to shake slightly, and the tears in her eyes could no longer be controlled, sliding down her cheeks!

I was a little overwhelmed and blamed myself, "Rushuang, I'm so stupid, I can't speak!"

Liu Rushuang stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears, shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with you!"

Then, she stared out the window at the drizzle and said sadly, "As long as I'm unhappy, it will rain on this day, maybe I'm born to be a sad person!"

I was stunned when I heard this, what Rushuang meant was that she was unhappy because it rained, or that she was unhappy that it would rain on this day! Could it be that her mood could affect the weather? If you think about it, it seems that every time it rains, it happens to be when she is in a bad mood.

Today's Rushuang seems to have become particularly sentimental because of what I just said, "This will be our second home from now on!".

She has always been silent, but today it was as if she had opened the conversation, and she could only hear her slowly telling to herself, "When I was very young, from the time I was sensible, it was a secret training every day, and what I heard from childhood to adulthood was the mission of our scattered tribe, to protect the inheritance of the Taoist master, even if I sacrificed my own life, I did not hesitate!"

I didn't see my parents, I didn't have any relatives, I didn't have any friends! All I saw was the instructor who was always wearing a mask. Everything I have is given by her, and all my skills are taught to me by her! What does she tell me to do?

There's no reason, you can't refuse, and I don't know what it means to refuse!"

I took a sharp breath when I heard it, I didn't expect that the sense of mission of the San clan to himself was already the kind that went deep into the bone marrow, but it was too cruel to treat a child like this!

I couldn't help but ask, "Nobody has ever told you why you did this, and do you think it's really worth it?"

Rushuang seemed to fall into a deep memory, "In the past, I asked the instructor once, and only that time, I asked her, why can I only see her alone, why do I train me like this, why do I accept such a mission?"

"And what did the instructor say to you?"

Rushuang's whole body trembled at this time, as if she remembered some terrible memories, I couldn't bear it, stepped forward to hold her shoulders and said, "If the memories are painful, then you should treat it as just a nightmare, don't think about it anymore!"

Today can be said to be the time that Liu Rushuang talks the most, although I really want to take this opportunity to really understand her, but I really can't bear to see her in such pain.

Liu Rushuang felt my touch, her body stiffened suddenly, and then gradually relaxed, as if she had let go of something, relieved, she continued, "Maybe if I say it, I won't be so easy to be sad!

I thought to myself, who likes to be sad, let alone such a little girl. I didn't say anything, quietly waiting for Rushuang to spit out.

The instructor locked me in a dark room and didn't give me a grain of rice to eat or a sip of water to drink.

I couldn't see anything, I couldn't hear anything, I didn't know if it was night or day outside, I didn't know how long it was, I thought I was going to die! The instructor released me, and she only said one sentence, you have to remember, the next time you ask such a stupid question, I will kill you directly!

I was only eight years old at the time, but I had almost seen death, I was scared but I didn't dare to cry, I just trembled!

I asked curiously, "What did she say at the end?"

Rushuang's voice seemed to come from a distant place, "She said, there are only two of us left in our scattered tribe, only the two of us, and no one else!"

I was horrified, "How is that possible?"

"Everyone else is dead! Back then, our patriarch encountered a cosmic storm during the migration of the whole clan, and all of them were killed, only a few patriarchs survived, floating in the universe waiting for the hope of rescue, and finally they were rescued by the Dao Lord from the void of the universe! The Dao Lord not only saved the patriarch's life, but also took him in and taught him to practice.

In order to repay the Daoist for saving his life, the patriarch swore with his soul imprint, willing to be his shadow for generations, and took the protection of the Daoist's inheritance as the only mission!

We waited for generations, and by the time I was born, I was the only one left. The instructor also quietly left a few years ago, leaving only a message, saying that it seemed to have found clues to the Taoist Master, and let me continue to wait for the inheritance of the Taoist Master on the earth alone. Then, I got an email from you!"

After saying this, Liu Rushuang let out a long breath, as if she had finally poured out all the pain that had been buried in her heart for more than ten years.

This is a race destined to be lonely, yet it carries such a burden.

In the long wait, all that remains in their hearts is to repay their kindness, and they have no life of their own!

The oath of the soul imprint is the most insoluble oath in the universe, and once such an oath is made, all future generations, no matter where they are, will be bound by the oath, like a subconscious, irresistible.

But, should such a young girl really bear these responsibilities?

"The Taoist Lord once instructed that if he is unfortunately killed, he will come to the earth to wait for the opening of the next inheritance!" This sentence also shocked my heart, could it be that the Lord had foreseen his disappearance a long time ago, so he left himself a way back, and I am the seed he planted, and maybe even I am just a pawn for him.

Everything suddenly became confusing.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel creepy, and a sense of helplessness that is being manipulated arises spontaneously. I forced myself to forget the anxiety in my heart, everything is just speculation after all, I still want to be the best version of myself!

In the face of such a miserable Rushuang, I wanted to tell Rushuang out loud that you don't have to wait any longer!

But what am I? Do I have the right to do this? Then the words that came out of my mouth became, "Rushuang, from today onwards, you still have us! You are no longer alone!"

This is probably the only comfort I can give her, and that's what I can do now!

Guardianship is my Dao heart!

Rushuang raised her head suddenly, staring at me deadly, her face was red and white for a while, her chest was rising and falling, and she murmured, "I still have you, you, we, and what are we?"

"We're family!" I affirmed.

Hearing the word family, Liu Rushuang couldn't control herself anymore, and threw herself on my shoulder and cried bitterly, as if she wanted to vent all the loneliness and grievances of the past ten years.

My heart aches, she's still a child!
