Chapter 17: Mustard

Ailu bit her lower lip lightly, as if she was holding back something: "That... Thank you so much for your advice. ”

Immediately afterward, the two remained quiet for a long time, except for the sound of the wind passing in the middle of the night and the sound of firewood from the campfire, not only did they not make a sound, but they did not even move their movements and eyes.

"And what are you going to do next?" said Eloh at last.

"Me?" Xu Mu thought for a while, "I thought about it a few days ago, I'm going to cross the border and go to the Hehni Kingdom in the west, you should know this kingdom, right?"

"Well, I know a little. Half a year ago, the then king of the Heaney Kingdom died, and the second princess of the Heaney Kingdom ascended the throne. ”

"Yes. And every time the throne of the kingdom changes, the knights of the exclusive royal family will also be dismantled and reorganized, in this case, then I will go to the capital of the Heane Kingdom, and then find a way to participate in the knight waiting. After all, I can't stay in the kingdom under my feet now. ”

"What about Sleta?"

"Sresta?" Xu Mu looked down at Sleta who was sleeping in his arms, "Of course Sreta is with me." ”

"Is it..."Ai Luyu pinched the black book in his hand, and seemed to be very hard.

Sresta, who had been asleep, suddenly woke up.

"Sleta, are you awake?"

"Brother..."

"Don't be so stupid next time, don't do this kind of thing in the future..."

"Brother, Sleta isn't stupid. When my brother yelled at me to leave, I knew what was going on, and although I didn't know what I could do, my brother had saved my life, even if I really couldn't do anything... I'm going to at least die with my brother..."Sleta's voice was like a kingfisher, and her voice was very small, "Besides, I have nothing but my brother." ”

Xu Mu gently touched Sleta's head, took a mat from the side to cushion Sresta's head, and he patted his body and got up: "You two rest first, I'll go to the vigil." ”

After the three of them killed the three hunters of the guild, they began to escape towards the border, Xu Mu knew that the town must have happened, and he was afraid of being pursued, so he ran far away to rest and rectify.

Although it was far from the town fiefdom of the Ailu family, it was still necessary to keep vigil, not only for fear of someone attacking, but also for fear of wild beasts.

After Xu Mu got up to leave, Ai Lu was still holding the black book, looking at the bag of treasure in front of him and losing his mind.

"Sister Ailu. ”

Ai Lu came back to his senses and forced a smile: "What's wrong?

"Sleta doesn't hurt anymore, she just feels a little tired, just rest for a few days. Sleta turned her head to look at Ellu, "Actually, I heard all the conversations you had with my brother earlier. ”

Ai Lu's eyes were lonely: "Is it..."

"It seems that my brother has some bitterness about Sister Ailu, although Sleta doesn't understand why, but after my brother came out of town, he should be very happy, but my brother is not in a good mood, obviously we have made a lot of money, and we have also completed Sister Ailu's commission..."

Ai Lu moved to Sresta's side, she didn't reply, but asked with a smile: "Sresta, then Xu Mu is going to take you to the Heani Kingdom, are you afraid?"

"Scared?" Sreta pondered, "Sreta isn't afraid. ”

"You won't feel a little away from your former hometown, away from the land where you were born and raised... Sad?"

A smile hung on the corner of Sleta's mouth, and she said indifferently: "Sister Ailu thinks too much, have you forgotten? Sleta is a person who has nothing, how can she be sad? If I can accompany my brother on adventures everywhere and watch my brother succeed step by step, then I am also very happy." ”

"Nothing..."

"yes. I don't have any relatives, no home, no means to survive... But I have a brother. ”

No loved ones ... No home...

When Ai Lu heard this, he wanted to cry.

Sleta took the initiative to reach out and hold Ailu's soft wattle, and comforted: "Actually, Sister Ailu, you are the same, aren't you? Or I, my sister, and my brother are already people who have nothing... Anyway, for me, this kingdom has nothing but the sorrow and pain of my memories. ”

Ai Lu smiled bitterly: "But what Xu Mu just said... You're going to drive me away!"

"Then Sister Ailu, you didn't take the initiative to ask to go with us. ”

"I volunteered?" Ai Lu was stunned.

"Brother is not a ruthless person, although he looks cold and indifferent on the surface, but he is a very gentle person on the inside..."Sleta praised Xu Mu, and her face turned slightly red: "If my brother is really a ruthless person and an extremely snobbish person, then Sister Ailu, do you think that my brother will leave me, let me leave, and then go to save you alone?"

Ailu seemed to have come out of the maze of sadness in his mind, and his face was red and red-faced by the bonfire.

"My brother may have a little bit of a problem with Sister Ailu, and Sleta doesn't know what the situation is... But I think if Sister Ailu goes to tell her brother, saying that the three of you will act together in the future, and you want the three of you to be together and go to the Heni Kingdom together, I don't think my brother will refuse you. Sleta laughed, "Of course, I think it would be better if my sister could relieve her brother of the mustard." ”

Then the two fell silent again, and Sleta was not in a hurry, in fact, her thoughts about Ailu were already nine out of ten.

Unless Ai Lu has deceived her in the past month, what she said is not wrong, Ai Lu is just like them, she is a person who has nothing.

And during this month of getting along, Sleta didn't believe that Ailu didn't feel dependent on the atmosphere of the three of them together.

If there are other relatives and friends in the kingdom that Ailu can rely on, then another matter.

But Ai Lu obviously doesn't have this condition, she doesn't even dare to contact her best friends, for fear of implicating her friends' families.

Tomorrow morning, will Ai Lu really be willing to let go of the two of them and return to a life of escape alone?

Sleta was sure, because the smell of loneliness was really frightening.

In the end, Ai Lu figured out something, she smiled and touched Sresta's hair, signaling Sleta to rest in peace, and then she got up with the book in her arms and walked towards the place where Xu Mu stood guard and kept vigil.

Sreta couldn't help but smile when she saw this, believing that the result would be good.

When people get along with each other, any relationship is mutual, if you feel happy, then the people around you will also feel happy.

If you feel warm, then the people around you will also feel warm.

If Ai Lu is afraid of loneliness, then Xu Mu is actually afraid of it too.

Xu Mu looked at the greasy moon in the night sky, and couldn't help shaking his head, it was really disgusting enough, but at night, there was nothing worth seeing except the moon in the sky.

Listening to the sound of the wind passing in his ears, Xu Mu sighed, in fact, he had thought about whether it was necessary to do this, because he could not take the initiative to bring up these things, and Ai Lu would definitely leave with him silently.

But if he brought it up, then Ai Lu couldn't escape, and Ai Lu had to stand up and give Xu Mu an answer.

Ailu helped him a lot, and the two of them were really friends, but couldn't friends be honest with each other?

But when your own secret wants to affect the friends around you, and you choose not to say it, Xu Mu will only feel a little embarrassed.

Soft footsteps sounded in his ears, Xu Mu looked back and saw that it was Ai Lu who came over holding a book.

"Why don't you take a break?"

Ai Lu came to Xu Mu and stood beside him, closing the robe on his body: "Come here... I'll talk to you for a while. ”

"Yes. ”

The two were quiet for a long time, and finally Ai Lu couldn't hold it back, and scolded softly: "Why are you always so ungentlemanly?

Xu Mu was stunned: "Why am I not a gentleman?"

"You know I'm going to come and talk to you, you know I'm shy... I know I'm scared, but you don't say a word, are you trying to see my joke!" Ai Lu's eyes were red, and the feelings that had been suppressed for a long time in front of him were somewhat pronounced.

"I..." Xu Mu was a little in a trance, why was it his fault?

"Silly melon, barrel head!" said Ellu, tears streaming down her cheeks, but she was desperately trying to suppress her voice, obviously not wanting Sreta to hear it.

Seeing Ai Lu crying in a blink of an eye, Xu Mu couldn't help but get up in a hurry, why did she still cry!

"Oh my God, don't cry... If you have something to say, don't cry. ”

"Xu Mu, tell me, do you hate me?" Ai Lu bit his red lip, grabbed the collar of Xu Mu's short robe, and asked very seriously.

"Ahh ”

"Then why did you drive me away?"

"I... I told you all that I wasn't driving you away. Xu Mu turned his head to look at him, "I told you before, the commission between us is indeed over..."

"Don't you want me to be by your side? Don't you want to take me with you? If you don't say anything, if you don't say anything, I can always be by your side and leave with you...!But why did you drive me away!" It's good that Ai Lu doesn't open the gate, but he can't stop it in an instant when he opens the gate, and the more he cries, the more he can't stop crying.

Xu Mu couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Ai Lu's appearance, did he really have the idea of driving Ai Lu away? Of course not, he just hoped that the three of them would be together, and they shouldn't hide it when they should be honest.

He gently grabbed Ailu's soft shoulders and gently stroked Ailu's hair, and the unique fragrance of Ailu's body began to penetrate into his nose.

Ai Lu saw that she was gently hugged by Xu Mu, her body first stiffened, and then softened.

Xu Mu comforted Ai Lu for a while, and Ai Lu stopped crying.

Ai Lu left Xu Mu's embrace, held up the black book in his arms and asked Xu Mu, "Are you because of this book, that's why you have a mustard for me?"

"Definitely. Xu Mu saw that Ai Lu was frank and straightforward, and he nodded directly without twisting.

"Then I'll tell you what this book is!" Ai Lu's eyes were extremely serious, as if he was making up his mind: "This book is a dark magic book that my Ai family has hidden for decades!"

"Dark arts books?"
