When the meeting in the Chifeng Fortress ended, Mu Yu Lily of the Valley returned to the Temple of Prayer for Rain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your boyfriend has a gift for you." In the side hall, Mu Yu Lily of the Valley put a small package on the table and said to her sister.

"No, that bed bug is so careful." Mu Yuqin turned her head sideways and said with a puzzled expression.

"Your reaction at the moment, I will tell you the truth." Mu Yu Lily of the Valley said seriously.

"Hmph~" Mu Yuqinxin immediately snorted lightly, chirped at her, then turned around, looked at the package wrapped in the red plastic bag with both hands on her chest, and said nonchalantly, "Why does it look so low~" Although she said so, her eyes were full of brilliance, and anyone could see that her heart was sweet at the moment.

"If you don't want me, I'll throw it away." Mu Yu Lily of the Valley said expressionlessly.

"What do you want~" Mu Yuqin said hurriedly.

Minutes later......

"What is this? It looks so strange~" Mu Yuqin looked at a table of red paper packaging, like kraft candy like bricks, and muttered to Mu Yuqin.

At this moment, the rain prayer sacrifice has just finished taking a bath and returning with clean clothes, and his whole body exudes a faint fragrance. She stepped forward to take a look, and immediately recognized it.

Suddenly, her gaze froze, and her memory seemed to return to the distant past......

"Is it delicious?"

In the rusty, steel-filled alley, he leaned against the wall, clinging against the wall, clinging to the wall, crossed his hands, and asked her, who was squatting on the ground and gobbling it up.

"Hmm~" She raised her dirty little face and nodded her head incessantly.

"Eat slowly, don't choke, the old man said, it's very unseemly to eat and choke to death." He said.

"Hmm~" "When I make money later, I'll buy you a lot of kraft candy, load it in a truck, a whole car, and you can't eat it all." "That'...... Then I'll help you drive, okay? "No, you can just take care of the food." "Okay~" "But don't die of it, the old man said that the guy who eats and is strutted to death is very undignified......"

A moment later, in the dining room of the Temple of Prayer for Rain, an old nun who was over half a hundred years old lit a candle. Then the two sisters walked in and sat across the long table.

The table is covered with white cloths, flowers and bamboo baskets, delicate plates reflect flickering candles, and silver knives and forks are embellished like the world in an oil painting.

At this moment, there is a delicate dinner plate in front of them, and the edge of the white porcelain is painted with gold and phoenixes, which is full of brilliance, obviously not ordinary high-end. However, in this flawless white, noble and luxurious dish is a black, sand-lime brick-like thing.

"Thank you to the rain god for giving us delicious food when we feel hungry and a warm fire when we feel cold...... "Mu Yu lily of the valley clasped her hands together, lowered her head, and prayed softly.

"Praise be to the rain god for giving great wisdom when we feel hesitant." Mu Yuqin's heart followed and prayed.

"May the light of the gods shine on our way, suona......" Mu Yu lily of the valley prayed in a low voice, and the last syllable "suo" is the meaning of "may it be so" in the ancient language of the western continent.

"Woo ......" Mu Yuqin said in unison, then raised her head and ended today's pre-dinner prayer.

"Uh...... How to eat it? Mu Yuqin held a knife and fork in her heart, looking at the kraft candy on the plate, and couldn't help but feel a little worried. When I raised my eyes, I saw Mu Yu Lily of the Valley holding a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, sawing a small piece slowly and putting it in her mouth.

Mu Yuqin was about to follow suit, but when she lowered her head, she found that Mu Yuqin's eyes were flashing with crystal tears. She was startled, and her whole body was stunned. For as long as she can remember, except for the time when her adoptive mother died, she had never seen her sister shed a single tear. She is so strong, so calm, like a lake that has not changed for thousands of years, and a glacier that has not changed for thousands of years.

However, it is precisely because of this coldness and indifference that she and her sisters feel at home in this dark and bleak world. That is their most solid backing and the safest barrier.

"Sister...... Mu Yuqin left her seat, came to Mu Yu Lily of the Valley, and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I ......" After a long while, Mu Yulily of the valley came back to her senses, and then grabbed Mu Yuqin's hand tightly, wanting to comfort a few words, but she couldn't speak.

"It's all to blame on that bug that made my sister cry, it's so bad! Necrotic! Mu Yuqin gritted her teeth and scolded, crying her sister is a hundred times, a thousand times more serious than crying her.

"No...... Don't blame him, it has nothing to do with him......" Mu Yu Lily of the Valley stroked her sister's head and whispered.

"That'...... What's wrong with that? Mu Yuqin's eyes were full of concern, she was her closest relative, irreplaceable existence, even that bed bug, could not be compared with her.

"I ...... I...... I miss my mother......" In the end, Mu Yu Lily of the Valley finally couldn't control her emotions and cried on the table.

In the winter of that year, it was snowing heavily, and the town of Tieshan was covered with water.

In a cold alley, in a nest built against a corner, her mother stuffed her with carefully wrapped sugar cubes.

"Eat quickly, Mommy is not hungry." Mother stroked her head and whispered in her ear.

But while she was eating, her mother fell asleep and never woke up again......

Seeing her sister crying, Mu Yuqin's heart also let out a "wow" and cried.

And just when the two sisters were crying, the initiator was drinking wine and eating roast beef with Quinn, which was quite comfortable. If Mu Yuqin saw it, I am afraid that his chest would explode in anger, and he would like to peel his skin and pump his tendons on the spot.

At the same time, in the auditorium of Spring and Autumn Heavy Industry in Fengkou Town, figures are standing alone.

There was silence in the venue, and the faint firelight reflected the young faces. They are different in height, fat and thin, but they all show the same gaze, resolute and quiet. They all carried large canvas bags and large porcelain bowls, like thick pieces of granite.

Kill chickens, take blood, and serve wine.

"From now on, we will no longer be a member of Spring and Autumn Heavy Industry......"

At the front of the line stood a stout man, speaking loudly with a bowl, and his voice was like the humming of a bell.

"From now on, we will follow in the footsteps of our ancestors, stay away from our homeland, and open up the world!"

"From now on, we will forget the past, we will forget our loved ones, we will forget our friends, we will forget everything that has been......"

"From now on, we will make a bloody alliance and never regret it!"

"My body is a furnace, my heart is a fire, and I cast a sword soul with my blood!" Lu vigorously held the rough porcelain bowl high and shouted, "Drink! ”

"Drink!" He was greeted with a roar like a monstrous wave.

The strong wine mixed with warm blood was drunk in one go.

"Heaven and earth are proof!"

"I forge a sword soul with my blood!"

"Pong!" "Pong!" "Pong!" "Pong!" "Pong!" "Pong!" "Pong!"

After drinking the wine and crushing the glass, the young craftsman walked out of the auditorium and walked along the familiar path to the door.

Moments later, the procession reached the gate. From a distance, under the dim street lamp, there were two figures.

"Huang Lao, Xue Lao......" When he saw the two of them clearly, Lu Dali stepped forward quickly and said, "According to the rules, you can't come to see you off." ”

The two elders glanced at each other, and then smiled. Then, Huang Lao touched his beard and said, "Dali, we are not here to see off......"

"That's ......," Lu Dali said in surprise, but he had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart.

"I'm here to eat with you." Huang Lao smiled and said.

"You guys are ......," Lu Dali's voice choked up as he spoke.

"Kids, you're still young and need us, come on, let's go!" Xue Lao patted Lu Dali's shoulder, then pulled Huang Lao and walked towards the door without looking back.

"Hmm." Looking at the backs of the two old men who were far away, Lu nodded vigorously. Their technology is not mature enough and needs the guidance of their predecessors. With Huang Lao and Xue Lao, they can organize production faster and make qualified power armor.

The neat procession slowly walked out of the gate, into the distance, and disappeared into the horizon.

From this moment on, they have nothing to do with Spring and Autumn Heavy Industries, and even if they are broken in the future, they will not bring the disaster back.

And when they left, countless figures were silently standing in the distance, watching them.

One of them, standing at the top of the office building, hot tears slipped quietly, but silently.

The early autumn wind, with a hint of coolness, swept the corners of the clothes and flew into the distance.

"Take care, friend." He whispered, unaware that twenty years ago, his friend was standing here, watching him go.

The men of the Spring and Autumn Period, the iron-blooded craftsmen, will never allow crying goodbye.

Those who leave must go quietly in the middle of the night, after everyone has fallen asleep.

The farewell of the brave does not need tears.

No matter where they are, their hearts are connected and never change. For that unattainable dream, work together.

"I've been guarding your home for twenty years, it's time for me to go out for a walk." Before leaving, Lu Dali said to him.

"Okay." He replied with only one word, though he would have liked to add another "no".

"By the way, there's one more thing I haven't settled with you." Lu Dali said suddenly.

"Huh?" He was stunned.

"Didn't you say that until you came back, everyone should not look for a girlfriend?" Lu clenched his fists vigorously, and the joints gurgled.

"yes, I always remember." He nodded.

"Then tell me, what's going on with that female secretary?" Lu Dali asked.

"Oh......" he looked up, thought for a moment, and then said seriously, "She's not a girlfriend. ”

"What's that?" Lu Dali looked puzzled.

"Wife." He explained, and then with a "bang", he took a solid punch in the face.

"Brother, I'm sorry." Under the night sky, Qi Yun looked at his friend's distant figure and said to himself, "I thought you knew, it was just a joke......
