Volume 2 Text Chapter 58 Liu Mengmeng's Past
Zhou Feng and the others overestimated their travel speed a little, you must know that riding a horse can run more than 30 miles in an hour during the day, but not at night.
By almost eight o'clock in the evening, Zhou Feng and the others had already been running on the road for six hours, but they had only walked one hundred and eighty miles, and they were still thirty or forty miles away from Shenjian Peak, and their speed was getting slower and slower because it was dark.
Looking up at the increasingly drowsy sky, there was no way, Zhou Feng and Liu Mengmeng had no choice but to stop the horse.
Looking at the two bright moons that had already appeared in the sky, Zhou Feng said to Liu Mengmeng: "It's too late, let's not go, let's find a place to rest." ”
Liu Mengmeng stroked the hair that was a little messy on her forehead, and replied: "There is no village in front of the village and no store here, where can I find a place to live?"
More than half an hour ago, they had passed by a village, about twenty miles away, and that was the last village they had encountered so far. Zhou Feng thought about it, why don't you find a flat place to rest here.
Zhou Feng said to Liu Mengmeng: "Why don't we spend one night in the wilderness, do you think it's okay?"
Liu Mengmeng immediately responded: "What's wrong with that, go south and north, and I often sleep outside." ”
Don't look at Liu Mengmeng as a girl, but she is usually never informal, in the Lisa Adventurer Branch, Liu Mengmeng may not be the most powerful one, but she is definitely the most diligent one.
Some men are unwilling to accept the reward she will accept, as long as she can save others, she will do it, some people say that Liu Mengmeng is short of money, this is true, Liu Mengmeng does have a love for money, but she is never stingy, she can be tight with herself, but she will never knock on the door of her brother and friends, let alone turn a blind eye to those who are hungry, even if some people here may be fake beggars.
Some people say that Liu Mengmeng is very stupid, Zhou Feng knows that Liu Mengmeng is not stupid, a girl who can save others at all costs, in the depths of her soul must hide a heart full of a sense of justice, and also hide many secrets that she does not want to mention.
The two found a high open space, Zhou Feng tied the horse to the tree, opened the package, spread the wrapping cloth on the grass, and he and Liu Mengmeng sat down.
Listening to the wind sword placed at his side, Zhou Feng took out beef and steamed buns from the kraft paper, divided most of them and handed them to Liu Mengmeng.
Liu Mengmeng took the food, straddled the grass, and said to Zhou Feng with a smile while eating beef: "With you, the food feels better." ”
Zhou Feng was packing up his things, and when he heard Liu Mengmeng say this, he replied: "I'm not a seasoning, can I smoke something else for your steamed buns?"
After speaking, he also took a piece of beef and a steamed bun, and ate it slowly.
Liu Mengmeng said: "I don't know, with you, the meal is very fragrant." ”
Liu Mengmeng's meal volume is the largest among the girls Zhou Feng has ever seen, and she will never lose her appetite when she eats, so I don't know if eating with Zhou Feng will really be particularly fragrant. The steamed buns bought in the town in the afternoon were the size of rice bowls, Zhou Feng only kept one for himself, and the remaining two were given to Liu Mengmeng, he knew that Liu Mengmeng couldn't eat enough steamed buns.
Zhou Feng teased: "It seems that I still have the effect of strengthening the stomach and eliminating food, and I will have to charge next to you in the future." ”
Liu Mengmeng munched on beef and was choked.
Zhou Feng patted her on the back and said, "Eat slowly, I won't rob you." ”
Liu Mengmeng said embarrassedly: "Ahem...... To make you laugh, I've always eaten faster. ”
Zhou Feng said: "The food is there, it won't run." ”
Liu Mengmeng paused suddenly, as if reminiscing about the past, and she said to Zhou Feng, "Do you know why Zhentian and I eat so quickly?"
Zhou Feng shook his head.
Liu Mengmeng whispered to Zhou Feng: "Because of me and Zhentian, I can't eat enough after an hour." ”
"Oh?" Zhou Feng listened quietly, Liu Mengmeng rarely mentioned her past to her friends, in the eyes of everyone, she has always been a beautiful and enthusiastic woman, as if there is no trouble, and there is no past.
"When I was a child, my family was a relatively wealthy family, but when I was eight years old, my father was framed and everything changed. The family's property was swept away, my father died tragically in prison, my mother hanged herself, my grandparents died unjustly, and the old house of the Liu family was also confiscated and sold. At that time, everyone in the town scolded us, saying that we were the children of traitors, vampires, scum, and brutes, and that all this was atonement, and that no one would give us anything to eat. Liu Mengmeng's eyes were confused, and she fell into deep memories.
She lowered her head and continued: "It was my most nightmare childhood, from a rich daughter on the top, suddenly became a street rat that everyone beats, Zhenzhen was only six years old at the time, but in that darkest time, I never gave up hope of life, I took my brother to pick up other people's leftovers to eat, pick up other people's clothes to wear, so I understand the pain of beggars, know what it is like to be hungry." ”
Zhou Feng never knew that Liu Mengmeng still had this past, he didn't say a word, at this moment, he was just a listener. Zhou Feng has always felt that Liu Mengmeng is not as carefree as he imagined, she just buried the hardships of life and showed her best side.
Zhou Feng lifted the corner of his clothes and wiped the tears from the corners of Liu Mengmeng's eyes.
Liu Mengmeng cried and smiled: "Thank you Zhou Feng, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have cried." ”
Zhou Feng said to her: "Cry, no one is iron, you will feel better if you cry, I will keep it secret for you." ”
Liu Mengmeng said: "I don't cry anymore. ”
After a pause, she continued: "In the following years, I wandered around with my younger brother, tasted all the sufferings of the world, and also saw all the things in the world, until I went to the city of Dewang several times, and it was at that time that we met Lisa. ”
It was a little cold on the mountain at night, Liu Mengmeng wrapped her thin clothes and looked at the stars in the sky: "How old is Lisa, my parents do some small business in Dewang City, she stole food from home and distributed it to me and my brother, in fact, I know that Lisa's mother has always known about it, but she didn't break it." His father saw that Lisa was growing more and more, but there was no meat, and he said very strangely to her mother, 'Is there anything wrong with Sasha, should you take him to the doctor', my brother and I heard these conversations at the foot of the window, covered our mouths and laughed secretly, laughed and laughed, but cried. Later, as we grew up and were able to do what we could to support ourselves, Sister Lisa was seventeen years old, and that year, she went to the Adventurers' Guild, and it would be seven years before we met again. ”
Zhou Feng was fascinated when he heard this: "No wonder you and Lisa seem to be old acquaintances." ”
Liu Mengmeng sneered: "What's more, we even worshipped when we were children!"
Zhou Feng pretended to frown and teased: "You always let me recognize you as the boss, it turns out that I developed a problem from here." ”
"What's the matter, isn't there no longer forcing you now?" Liu Mengmeng retorted.
Looking at her frozen and shivering body, Zhou Feng took off his robe and put it on Liu Mengmeng's back.
Liu Mengmeng sniffed it and said, "You have a very peculiar smell. ”
Zhou Feng was a little surprised, he took a bath every day, wouldn't it be the smell of sweat, and asked, "Eh, is it the smell of sweat?"
Liu Mengmeng took a breath and said with a happy face: "No, it's the taste of love." ”
Zhou Feng struck: "I didn't say I would fall in love with you. ”
Liu Mengmeng smiled evilly: "Sooner or later." ”
It was getting colder and colder, Zhou Feng went out to pick up some firewood, fenced a small pit with stones beside him, filled the firewood in it, and asked Liu Mengmeng: "Did you bring flint?"
Liu Mengmeng threw over a pair of small red oval stones, Zhou Feng took one in the palm of his hand, and the other was regularly knocked on it, and after a while, a small flame burned on the flint, and he carefully led the fire to the firewood, and after a while, the firewood finally burned.
"Well, if only there were a lighter, this is not convenient at all. Zhou Feng complained.
Liu Mengmeng pouted: "It's more convenient if there is a fire mage, what kind of lighter do you want." ”
"Do you know fire spells? It's better to have a lighter. Zhou Feng obviously still prefers lighters.
Liu Mengmeng puffed up: "I don't know fire spells, but I know earth spells, believe it or not, I extinguished your firewood?"
"You dare?" Zhou Feng said in a frightened voice.
Three seconds later.
"Liu Mengmeng, I think you owe it!"
"Hahahaha......" Looking at the bonfire covered with a layer of sand, Liu Mengmeng's smiling flowers trembled.
(End of chapter.) )
Correction: Due to the author's Alzheimer's disease, some details of Zhou Feng's dictation are not described rigorously, and now there are minor modifications in Chapter 23 of this book---- the departure of the six-person team, Liu Mengmeng's skin color has been changed to "healthy wheat color", and some character dialogues and voice descriptions have also been added.
"Skydome Art Online" is the first web novel I wrote, and I will check it at least twice after each chapter, but there are still some mistakes, so I will continue to fix some typos or language dialogues in the future, and there will be some slight discrepancies between the final chapter of Tianmu and the first draft. For the sake of readers' better reading experience, welcome to watch the original Tianmu chapter on Zongheng Chinese Network, which is also free, and you can also interact with book friends and me. (Although I still have few book friends for the time being, hahaha.) )
In any case, I will finish this book with my heart, I will not be a eunuch, I will only write better and better, I hope you can support me! I am the wind gradually splashing, I don't bring salt.
