Chapter 23 Preparing for War
Started in a hurry and ended in a hurry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the evening, when everyone dispersed, Huo Xiaolu sat alone on the chair in a daze, and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
Until the moment he put the ring on Yi Ran, he was still in a trance. When he said that sentence like a fool, causing a burst of laughter, he was awake as if he were refreshed.
Then, ecstasy.
Although he felt a little caught off guard when it happened so quickly, he even felt like he was still asleep in bed and didn't wake up at one point, but when the dream came true, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Now that he was quiet, without the advice of the elders on both sides, and the jokes and teases of the Yin Lord and Huo Liuli, his heartbeat finally became normal, and his groggy mind began to be able to think independently.
"What, regret it?"
A faint smell of perfume wafted in, and Yi Ran sat down beside him in a plain white dress.
Huo Xiaolu couldn't help but chuckle and took her over. Leaning against his warm chest and listening to the powerful heartbeat in his ears, he was so comfortable that he almost forgot to breathe.
Fingers wrapped around her hair, Huo Xiaolu whispered, "I'm just...... I can't believe it. ”
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his easy-to-dye face was filled with happiness unique to a little woman: "I can't believe it either." At this time, she suddenly remembered that she had announced to the Yin Lord and Huo Liuli so boldly that she would marry him before, and her face couldn't help but blush slightly.
"Aren't you afraid that I'm not ready?" Huo Xiaolu's voice was unprecedentedly gentle.
Yi Ran raised his head, and his face was a blush that had not faded: "I'm not ready, what should I do?" ”
Looking at her cunning eyes, Huo Xiaolu didn't say anything, just hugged the person in his arms tightly.
The luckiest thing in this life is to have someone who is willing to give you a piece of his sincerity and unreservedly for the rest of his life. You can ignore your poverty, your injuries, or even your death. The journey of life is too rushed, too many travelers can only pass by, and it is simply too difficult to find someone who is willing to accompany you to the aimless destination. But there will definitely be such a person, who will eventually meet.
Because the meteorological observatory predicted that a typhoon was coming, the next morning, the elders who had come from all over the country left in a hurry, and the house became a world for a few young people.
In the next two days, Huo Xiaolu and Yi Ran Xiao were busy with affection, and at the same time, they looked at the Yin Lord and Huo Liuli with curious eyes.
For two whole days, Huo Liuli has been drinking water, and the Yin Lord has been sleeping.
As soon as she woke up every morning, Huo Liuli sat by the window, reading a book while drinking water from a water cup, and the water dispenser was placed next to it. In the surprised eyes of the two, she drank twelve buckets of water in two days.
And the Yin Lord is even more straightforward, since the night of Huo Xiaolu's engagement, he didn't wake up directly, and now he has slept for more than sixty hours.
Although Huo Xiaolu and Yi Ran were curious, she didn't say anything when they asked Huo Liuli, only that they were carrying out a very profound cultivation. Although it didn't look like it, since people didn't want to say it, they didn't ask again.
Finally, until noon on the third day, the water dispenser next to Huo Liuli was empty again, but the bucket was not changed, and the Yin Lord also walked out of the house with swollen eyelids.
As if they had discussed it in advance, the two of them walked to the kitchen very tacitly and took out the compressed biscuits that they had bought a few days ago.
After that, in the stunned eyes of the little two, the two of them ate a large bag of compressed biscuits, and even looked a little unsatisfied.
Fortunately, the two who had eaten enough also returned to normal, and finally took the initiative to speak.
"Xiaolu, bring me your pair of seals." The Yin Lord said as he burped.
Although he didn't know why, Huo Xiaolu still didn't hesitate to hand over the pair of golden finger tigers.
Receiving this pair of cold and heavy magic weapons, a nostalgic smile appeared on the Yin Lord's face. His fingers gently caressed the slightly rough rune carving on it, and his eyes wandered, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, he asked, "Do you remember the set of punches that my father gave you?" ”
"Of course," Huo Xiaolu nodded, and then an embarrassed expression appeared on his face, "It's just not very skilled." ”
The Yin Lord nodded: "It's okay, it's good to be able to use one or two tricks to deal with emergencies." ”
Huo Xiaolu heard what he said: "Is something wrong?" ”
Nodding calmly, the Yin Lord raised his head to look at him and said, "Tomorrow, someone will attack you." ”
Hearing this, Huo Xiaolu's pupils shrank, and Yi Ran couldn't help but come forward to look at him and asked, "Sigh?" ”
"Not only him, but also the people behind him, should also make a move." The Yin Lord's tone was very flat, but it inexplicably calmed Huo Xiaolu's nervous mood a little.
Yi Ran couldn't help but ask, "How do you know?" ”
Sighing slightly, the Yin Lord said, "Have you noticed that in the video you showed me, there was a lot of wind and rain? ”
After thinking about it carefully, Yi Zhan's face suddenly turned pale and silent.
"If the weather station's forecast is correct, there will be rain tomorrow." Looking at the dim sunlight outside, there was not the slightest emotion in the words of the Yin Lord, but it could make people feel the heavy depression in it.
Yi Ran bit his lip tightly, and his face was slightly pale: "That...... It can't be said that it's tomorrow, but it may be the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow......"
A tingling pain in the back of her left hand choked the rest of her words in her throat. She now has a sore nose and wants to cry, but she forcibly holds back.
Huo Xiaolu suddenly asked, "What is the image you are talking about?" ”
Yin opened his mouth and didn't speak, just kept gesturing him with his eyes.
Grabbing Yi Zhan's hand, Huo Xiaolu checked her left hand by himself. Yi Ran was a little panicked and wanted to struggle, but to no avail.
The wound was almost healed, even the blood scab was gone, and I could only vaguely see that the small pinhole had not healed. Huo Xiaolu's hot fingers gently caressed the back of her delicate hand, trembling slightly.
Taking a deep breath, he whispered, "Show me that video." ”
Yi Ran wanted to refuse, but looking at his expressionless appearance, I don't know why, and suddenly I didn't have the courage to refuse. Biting her lip, she shared the image that made her tear water.
The communication between the hearts was very fast, and soon, Huo Xiaolu gently put down the easily dyed hand.
After that, he took a step forward and suddenly hit the Yin Lord in the cheek with a hard punch.
Yi Ran hurriedly grabbed him and shouted in a low voice, "You're crazy! The Yin Lord didn't say a word, and squeezed the pair of fingered tigers tightly with both hands, allowing the left side of his face to quickly swell. Huo Liuli didn't say anything, just sat on the sidelines, quietly watching everything that happened in front of the person's eyes.
"You know, why would she want to be engaged to me?" Huo Xiaolu's tone was very cold, Yi Ran had never heard him speak in such a cold voice, which made her feel a little panicked.
She hurriedly explained: "No, I asked for it myself!" ”
The Yin Lord was not angry at all, on the contrary, a smile hung into the corners of his mouth, although the bulging cheeks made him smile very reluctantly.
Without an explanation, he threw the Knuckle Tiger at him, turned and walked away. As he walked, he said, "If you can live until the day after tomorrow, I will apologize to you." ”
Huo Liuli also left silently, taking her thick book with her by the way.
Holding Huo Xiaolu's arm tightly, the tears that were easy to dye were not held back in the end.
Standing in silence, Huo Xiaolu's expression was a little stiff, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't make a sound.
When I was in the room, there was still some sunlight outside, and when the Yin Lord was standing downstairs, dark clouds came up.
He tilted his head and closed his eyes. Quietly blowing a breeze, his spirit lifted slightly, it was rare that there was such a cool wind in June. Passers-by cast curious glances at the man with half of his swollen face looking up at the sky, as if he were looking at a fool.
"Actually, you should explain."
In the gloomy weather, the long skirt of the fire glass looks a little thin, and it feels a little weak from a distance. She held the bulky book to her chest, and felt like a teenage girl next door.
opened his eyes and moved his somewhat stiff neck vigorously, and the Yin Lord smiled loudly: "It's not necessary, and the trick of changing luck is probably not very effective." ”
Wrinkled Qiong's nose, a smile suddenly bloomed on Huo Liuli's face: "There will be a fight tomorrow, will you invite me to eat something delicious today?" ”
Turning his head to look at her in some surprise, the Yin Lord's expression was very surprised: "Didn't you just eat, haven't you eaten enough?" ”
"No, you're full?"
“…… Nor did it. ”
"That's it, let's go."
Seeing the two leave happily, Yi Ran, who was standing upstairs by the window, sighed softly and closed the curtains.
Huo Xiaolu sat on the sofa, his expression was very gloomy, he didn't say a word, and even the whole room became silent.
He held the pair of seals, his fingers gently caressing the dense carvings on them, and his heart was numb for a while. He didn't know what to say, how to deal with the girl he had just betrothed, or how to face the catastrophe that was coming tomorrow.
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. His fingers, which were gripping the seals of heaven and earth, became harder and harder, as if they were about to crush them.
Suddenly, he felt his fingers heat up, and looked down in some surprise to see that the pair of seals were glowing red at some point.
Yi Ran also walked over when he saw it, and looked at the changes in the pair in surprise. I saw that the gold-like body seemed to have turned into jade, and it almost became transparent. I can vaguely see that there is some dark-colored liquid shaking in one of the prints.
Stretching out his hand and gently touching the mark, it is easy to dye through the body of the mark and feel the liquid inside is hot. After feeling it carefully, she withdrew her hand.
"What is this?" Huo Xiaolu asked blankly.
Biting his lip tightly, the easily dyed eye sockets began to be filled with moisture again: "'Natal Soul Marrow', the living and dead live white bones, a drop can save a life." (To be continued.) )
