Chapter 304 Aftertaste

After a period of tumult, the desert has fallen silent again.

Between the long yellow sand, a vulture flew quietly by. The heat was as strong as ever. The vultures seem to have smelled blood.

In the desert, this bird of prey has the sharpest nose. Sure enough, with the smell, they found the food they craved.

One by one, the corpses were carried out, covered with a white cloth, and laid flat side by side on the loess of the desert. Then it was stacked on top of each other, and the people next to them kept waving their hands to try to drive away the vultures.

But this beast has eyes thinner than the tip of a bull's horns, and once it has its eyes on food, it will stop at nothing to get it. There was once a precedent for a vulture to follow a camel for three days and three nights.

In the desert, if you're targeted by a vulture, it means that the Grim Reaper has a scythe ready for your back. Later, everyone simply gave up driving away the vultures, and the piled up corpses became a hill about ten meters high.

Then, a flame burned everything to the scorched earth, and both the subjects of the Fire Nation and those who went mad turned into black dust under this fire.

Mixed into this desert that has not changed for 10,000 years, just like any living creature that has died in the desert for 10,000 years.

At this moment, in the Land of Fire, Princess Pipa has undoubtedly become the busiest person, although now she is so weak that she looks like she can fall down when the wind blows, but as long as she stands there, the Land of Fire will not fall.

The work was done quickly, and the people of the Fire Nation transported all the corpses out of the city, and then the walls were simply repaired, just in case.

The golden sculpture in the center of the square is still standing, under the sun, the carved Mo Tian, the crack on the waist is so obvious, and this trace seems to be in the hearts of everyone.

In the space of one morning, the entire Fire Nation was trapped in this delicate and strange atmosphere: dreary, panicked, dazed............

When Mo Tian and Queen Finney rushed over, there was an unexpected calm on their faces! and the thick ...... hidden under the calm Sadness!

The first thing they saw was Princess Pipa on the city wall, and at this moment Princess Pipa was dressed in plain white clothes, and her face was almost two points paler than the white clothes.

It wasn't until her eyes met Mo Tian and Fei Ni that her pale face finally had a little bit of blood. The beautiful phoenix's eyes quickly flushed and filled with tears.

But the tears never fell, if in normal times, she would have thrown herself into Fini's arms like a child and suffered, but now, she didn't!

She stood on the city wall and slowly opened her arms, and the people of the Fire Nation also noticed the arrival of Mo Tian and Fini with the princess's movements.

No cheers, no screams......

There was only a silence, a gloom, and many people in the Fire Nation had begun to sobbed in a low voice, especially those women, whose tears kept falling like pearls with broken threads, and this low sobbing made the sad atmosphere even stronger.

Fini's eyes were already red, she saw the collapsed walls, she smelled the hellish blood, even though the square had been washed with water again and again, she saw her daughter's trembling shoulders, she saw the tears of the people of the Fire Nation.

The queen walked slowly up to the princess, met her with open hands, and embraced her quietly!

Gently stroking the back of Princess Pipa's head with her hand, Fini said in an extremely gentle tone: "Pipa, you did a good job, leave the rest to me." ”

"You are all the pride of the Fire Nation. ”

The Queen's voice blew like a spring breeze, and the men of the Fire Nation straightened their waists as straight as javelins! As long as the person is still there, the home is still there.

Mo Tian walked over so slowly, he was the person who saw this place most clearly, and he saw more than anyone here, there was more than just blood and killing in his eyes.

There were also wisps of soul, everyone only saw that under the sun, Mo Tian's shadow was stretched very long, and then he waved his hand towards the sky as if saying goodbye, with a warm and confident smile on his face.

Those are the souls of the people of the Fire Country, Mo Tian does have the ability to bring them back to life again, but he didn't do it, because the current world is not what it used to be, in this crazy world, Mo Tian doesn't know how long he can live, if he lets them regenerate just because they die again, Mo Tian will never do it.

Then he walked over to the lute, and the little girl pounced on him when she didn't see him again for the first time, nor did she hold him like an octopus, and wouldn't let him go until she told an interesting story.

She was still in Queen Finney's arms, but the sound of her breathing gradually became even, and she turned out to be ...... It's asleep.

The sun slanted on the girl's white face, and there were two tear stains, behind her, there was blood slowly seeping out, it turned out that after the battle, she didn't have time to heal at all, just stood here, and now when she moved, she actually tore the two wounds behind her back.

She was able to fall asleep in her mother's arms with such pain.

Mo Tian had a distressed color in the corners of his eyes, and ...... A trace of anger that could not be hidden! His hand rested lightly on the back of the lute, and soft blue runes gradually stood out from his palm. The light of healing enveloped the girl's body, and in her sleep, the itching of the wound healing made her frown slightly.

"Come over here. The Phoenix Clan warrior who was named by Mo Tian suddenly had a spirit, and hurriedly trotted all the way to Mo Tian.

"Tell me everything that's going on here, in more detail. Mo Tian took a breath and said slowly.

There are some things that he must understand, even though they are painful, and although they should have been done by those who have gone mad, is madness the reason for their crimes?

The warrior of the Phoenix clan nodded, and hurriedly told Mo Tian everything that happened, no matter how big or small. It wasn't until he talked about those who took the opportunity to sneak up on the madmen that Mo Tian really showed his anger.

This Phoenix Warrior spoke quickly and in detail, including the squad leader's self-detonation, and Zhang Qiyue finally used stratagery to calculate the leader of the sneak attacker.

"Qi Yue has nothing to do now?" Mo Tian just asked this sentence, paused for a moment and said: "It's the advent technique of Madman Lin, even if it is me, it will take some effort, she should not be injured." ”

"Well, Lord Qiyue is resting now, and we didn't dare to disturb. "It turned out that after this battle, everyone wanted to insist on calling Zhang Qiyue the goddess, she was like the second protector after Mo Tian.

But Zhang Qiyue didn't seem to like such a title as a god, and in the end, out of respect, everyone decided to call her an adult directly.

After hearing all this, Mo Tian nodded. Then, he fell silent again, and waved his hand to call back the warriors of the Phoenix Clan. A man walked slowly past the breached wall.

He thought that there would be destruction here, and he also saw the destruction of the Eastern Heavenly Court and the Western Kunlun with his own eyes, compared to the Fire Country, they were lucky to survive the crisis with the help of Pipa and Zhang Qiyue.

This is something to be thankful about, but Mo Tianda didn't find a feeling of happiness in his heart, he just stood on the edge of the broken city wall, and stood for a long time, and the setting sun stretched his shadow long.

......

Waking up from a coma, the light from the window at some point of day, and the dry air inherent in the desert, the soft touch under her body made her dream.

I have the impression that I am falling in my mother's arms, but from now I feel that she is already in her own bed, this familiar feeling, the familiar taste is like any ordinary day.

But when Pipa sat up from bed, his body was empty with hunger and fatigue, and deep pain, and ...... Even the desert sun could not dispel the shadows, and she was reluctant to open her eyes.

It wasn't until a pair of warm, familiar hands grasped her palms that she slowly opened her eyes.

...... sitting on the edge of the bed It's her mother.

For the first time, she was dressed in white, instead of red or gold.

In her hand, she still holds a bowl of hot porridge.

After seeing the pipa wake up, he handed over the hot porridge in his hand, then blew a spoonful to his mouth, leaned over, and fed her.

In the time when Pipa has memory, it is the first time that her mother feeds herself so gently, even when she was very young, she has never done this, and the warmth of maternal love she suddenly encountered made the shadow in her heart be dispelled a lot.

After feeding only a spoonful of rice, she picked up the gauze towel beside her and wiped her pipa's mouth, then took her hand and put it on her cheek, and smiled softly.

This daughter of mine has really grown up.

"Mother, how is it out there now?"

"Everything is improving, the city walls have been repaired, and Mo has strengthened the formation of the Fire Nation again. The surrounding madmen were driven away. ”

“...... How long did I sleep?"

"It didn't take long, it was a night. ”

It's only one night? Pipa only felt as if she had slept for a long, long time, as if she had slept since she was very young.

She had a long dream, there were many things in the dream, and the most impressive one was that she married Mo Tian, she wanted to be Mo Tian's wife since she was a child, even if she knew how much her mother loved him. Maybe it's because her mother loves him so deeply that she lets herself know him so deeply.

But Mo Tian is such a man, the more you know him, the easier it is to fall in love with him. But this dream came to an end, and she didn't want Mo Tian to get married.

Because she dreamed of many, many people, all of whom were from the Fire Country, and these subjects were like her children, she couldn't bear to give up these subjects and follow Mo Tian. She really understands her mother more and more, and she also understands that now she can do it without hesitation because she handed over the country of fire to herself, and she really loves the country of fire, and loves everyone in it like she loves her own children.

Maybe one day, when she can find someone to help her take care of the Fire Country, she will be able to do this without hesitation.

"Mother, you said that when I really grow up, tell me that I ...... Who is the father, and now ...... I feel like I'm entitled to know. ”

Queen Finney looked at her, smiled softly, and sat on the edge of her bed, her hands running through her thick black bun and sliding smoothly all the way down: "Yes, my little daughter, has grown up at last. ”

Queen Finney wiped her little head on the lute, and her thoughts seemed to drift a little.

It turns out that she still remembers this incident.

In order to find out who his mother was, he went to the Holy Fire Realm alone, and that desperate energy is much heavier than his daughter's obsession.

After a long time, he suddenly turned around, looked at his daughter's expectant and scared eyes, and smiled lightly: "When people are old, they are easy to think nonsense." ”

"Mother is not old?" Pipa gently leaned into her arms and smiled sweetly: "Still a big beauty." Hee-hee. ”

"It's sweet in your mouth. ”

"I'm telling the truth, don't believe me, ask the people of the Fire Country. Pipa said. "Otherwise, you go and ask Director Mo to see if he dislikes you for being old. ”

"How dare he?!" Queen Finney glanced at the daughter in her arms and put her finger against her forehead: "Little ghost, it's really getting bigger and smaller." You dare to make Mo Tian's jokes, aren't you afraid that he is your father?"

"Don't be afraid, you said he wasn't anymore. Mother wouldn't lie to me, would she......" Pipa stuck out her tongue, her slender eyelashes still couldn't help but tremble, saying that she was not afraid that it was fake, but she still had some expectations in her heart, if so, she should be happy or disappointed. Falling in love with one's own father is perhaps a period that every girl goes through, and a good father is easily regarded by his daughter as the standard of a good husband in the future.

After all, in the world, apart from your father, what man will care about you without asking for anything in return?

"Well, he's not. Hearing this answer from Queen Finney's mouth, Pipa breathed a sigh of relief.

"Actually, your father ......"

......

A mother was in the room, chatting all morning, until noon, when someone from the Fire Nation went to the room to call them for dinner.

When Princess Pipa came out, her mood seemed to be much better, although she was somewhat tired, but her raised eyebrows faintly revealed the joy in her heart.

This little princess is in a very good mood now, knowing the answer she wants to know for so many years, and the answer turns out even better than any one she wants, how can she not be happy?

"Mo ...... Where's the eldest brother?" asked Princess Pipa, a faint flush on her face. At this time, her address is not like Mo Tian, the big pervert is rude, perhaps because after being guided by Queen Finney, she actually called Brother Mo very respectfully.

Just this generation?

The Phoenix Clan warrior on the side bowed his head and replied, "Lord Mo is still in the square. ”

"Is he still looking at the statue?" asked Queen Finney.

"Yes. ”

"From last night until now?" Pipa's eyes widened in surprise, with a puzzled look in his eyes, wasn't the sculpture in the center of the square the same sculpture of Mo Tian and Queen Finnie embracing, why did he look at his sculpture for so long?

"Well, Master Mo also went to see Lord Qiyue once, and instructed us about the reconstruction of the city wall, and since I came back, I have been looking at the sculpture, I just wanted to ask Her Majesty, should we ask Lord Mo to come over for dinner together......" The phoenix warrior said cautiously.

Queen Finney thought for a moment and said, "Let him go, don't worry about him, you tell everyone to eat first." ”

In fact, a person like Mo Tian who cultivates doesn't have to eat for a long time, but he usually has the best appetite for his tongue, especially good drinking!

For his sake, the people of the Fire Nation also deliberately brought up all the hidden wines.

"No, Mother, let's call him...... Brother Mo. Princess Pipa twisted Queen Finney's wrist coquettishly, and she wanted to see Mo Tian now.

Finney smiled helplessly and shook her head gently: "It's not okay to call him, but we can go and see him." I don't know what Mo is doing, but I always feel that it is an important thing, and I better not disturb him. At a glance, Finney could see her daughter's little girl's thoughts.

"Oh, well, let's go see, that bastard...... What is Brother Mo doing? "There is no exit for the word 'egg', and if it becomes a habit, it will be very difficult to change it.

The mother and daughter walked towards the central square of the Fire Nation holding their arms, and along the way, the people of the Fire Nation saluted one after another, with their most respectful hearts.

This pair of mother and daughter, if they don't go out, I'm afraid they will be considered a pair of sisters, the older ones are mature and enchanting, with three points of luxury, and the younger ones are young and lively, cute and smart.

It is these two weak women whom I feel sorry for, who have silently guarded the land of fire for hundreds of years, allowing the people of this pure land to settle down.

Surrounded by everyone's eyes, the mother and daughter saw the ten-meter-high golden statue, and also saw Mo Tian under the statue, only to see him tilting his head and quietly looking at a trace on the waist of the sculpture, which was rubbed out by the mad monk with a spiritual treasure, although it was only an inch deep, it looked extremely dazzling in the sun.

"Mother, what is Brother Mo looking at?" Pipa was a little puzzled.

Queen Fei Ni also shook her head gently, Mo Tian had become a little strange since he came to the Fire Nation and saw everything here, and something seemed to be bothering him in his mind.

And that kind of thing, only on his own can come up with it, Finney can only be by his side, when he feels cold or lonely, the first time to give him a warm embrace.

"Okay, don't worry about him, let's go to dinner. Fini held the lute's hand, in fact, her heart was desperate to stay here, but she knew that if she didn't show up, I was afraid that the entire people of the Fire Nation would be hungry.

"Wait, Mother, you see ......," Princess Pipa snorted softly.

Because Mo Tian, who had been standing there quietly, suddenly moved. (To be continued.) )
