Chapter 297: Retreat
Xia Feng's chopsticks hit Mu Li's head hard, and he scolded angrily: "How terrifying do you think this matter is......? Will you be embarrassed to bring me back?"
Mu Li hurriedly shook his head and said stupidly: "They will like Xiaofengfeng, they will definitely ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, this prince has always been loved by everyone, and flowers bloom, I can't deal with the group of monsters in your family, my name is written upside down. "Xia Feng is rarely emotional.
Mu Li retracted with a strange expression, and muttered in a small voice: "As for it, be careful that the wind flashes his tongue." β
"Uh-huh, we'll see. β
Mu Li smiled, and then frowned again: "What if I don't get better all the time?"
"Then you should go back and take a look, don't worry, Lombard is going to beat you, I will stand in front of you......"
"Well, I still don't, then we'll both be beaten badly. Mu Li was particularly prescient and depressed.
Xia Feng couldn't cry or laugh: "I finally know why you never mentioned this matter, the task was not completed, and the Dragon Ball was not found, are you particularly weak-minded." β
Mu Li stayed for half a second, and covered his face with his hands with a miserable scream: "Bastard, why do you have to say it, damn it-"
Xia Feng laughed loudly and couldn't stop.
The two of them chatted freely and freely, unrestrained, occasionally laughing, occasionally laughing, or fighting, or warm, he took her dullness and innocence, took her sensitivity out of the danger zone, and kept negative emotions away.
This meal was eaten from noon to evening, and Mu Li looked at the sunset that had been hanging on the wall, red and beautiful.
It's enough, I knew she might as well make a hot pot to eat.
"After talking about it for a long time, can the wall be demolished or not?"
"You're the master, you have the final say, I'm too lazy to move anyway. Xia Feng is completely a decadent attitude of "nothing to do with yourself".
"Then I'll push it tomorrow. β
"Tomorrow, do I want to go out tomorrow?"
"Huh, where are you going?"
"At least go out on the streets, right? You can't stay at home all the time. β
"Then let's go to the vegetable market, I'll choose the ingredients myself, and I'll cook you a big meal in the evening. β
Xia Feng's arm on the table fell, and he glared at Mu Li with a helpless expression: "Dear Oriental girl, we have just finished this meal, are you thinking about tomorrow again?"
"Uh...... So where do you say you're going?"
"Listen to you. β
β...... Damn!" Mu Li pursed the corners of his mouth helplessly, got up and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, a person who sincerely goes around in circles with you is simply unreasonable.
Xia Feng re-propped his head and stared intently at the little girl who was busy coming in and out, with the truest smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Let's go to the streets now, and it is estimated that we can catch up with the tail of the 'Autumn Carnival', and there will definitely be excitement to see. β
"Wow, wow, I like to be lively, what kind of carnival? Don't you think it's a waste to have a celebration every season?"
Where is it!
"What was originally a 'harvest festival' for farmers to celebrate their harvest of the year has slowly evolved into a gimmick for the entertainment of citizens. β
"'Harvest Festival'...... It's a good day, heh, it's a pity, it's such a meaningful holiday...... It's better to ...... in the country."
Xia Feng was already able to adapt to Mu Li's mood that changed at any time, so he didn't feel strange or surprised by the current situation at all.
"Little Fengfeng!" Mu Li suddenly stopped at the door, turned around, and looked at Xia Feng seriously.
"Hmm, what?" Xia Feng raised his eyebrows, a sunny warm and bright one.
Mu Li narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I want to experience your life." β
Xia Feng smiled in surprise, and said suspiciously: "The two of us are almost tied together, do you still need to experience my life?"
"Cut, play dumb, I'm talking about the life before you met me. β
"......" Xia Feng sat there, his posture unchanged, his smile unchanged, but he suddenly fell silent.
Mu Li didn't care about that, and walked happily to the house: "That's it, hahaha......"
Is there anything to be happy about? His life in Haina City, because of the "attention of all people", has no freedom, it is a typical aristocratic model, and it is not interesting at all.
Chasing Mu Li into the kitchen, Xia Feng wanted to help her wash the dishes, and by the way, after breaking the two dinner plates, Mu Li disliked Xia Feng so really for the first time.
"There are four of them, and you break two of them, do you want to eat with your hands?"
"Well, I'm stupid. Xia Feng held up his hands stained with foam and hung his head in despair.
"The attitude is good, but the experience of life is not negotiable. Mu Li cleaned up everything, pulled Xia Feng to help him wash his hands clean, and was quite proud in his heart, finally there was something he couldn't handle, hahaha!
"I can sum up my life in one sentence, are you sure you want to try?"
"How?"
"Reading and dealing with the people around you. β
The corners of Mu Li's mouth twitched: "Impossible?"
"Occasional hunting, horseback riding, ......"
"I'm not interested. β
"A gathering of nobles?"
"You can try...... Oh, I tried, it was horrible......"
"You see, it's not as much fun as shopping. β
"And what do you do when you leave the palace? β
"Go to school. β
Mu Li's eyes were instantly full of pity when he looked at Xia Feng, this poor child was too aggrieved to live.
Xia Feng smiled: "It's just aggrieved." We can only move around the confines of Haina City these days, except for the nobles who are officials, there is really nothing interesting to do, I don't want you to be disappointed, so be sure to stay away from them. β
"What do the nobles usually do?"
"Wake up early, have breakfast, change clothes, have lunch, change clothes, afternoon tea, change clothes, play games......"
Mu Li stared at Xia Feng dumbfounded, and thousands of horses galloped in his head.
"It's a moth, isn't it? What are you doing with so many clothes a day? Are you crazy? Okay, okay, I'm giving up, let's go shopping and watch the 'carnival' show!"
"Agreed. "The summer breeze is almost cheering.
Mu Li waved his hand casually and said, "That's it, I'll go see the wood for a while...... What kind of world is this, the idle are almost crazy, right? It's ...... Uh-huh......"
Mu Li muttered and turned around to leave, but was suddenly pulled back by Xia Feng and hugged into his arms.
"What?" Mu Li looked up, ignorant and naΓ―ve.
"I've become stupid, and you don't comfort me, I'm sad. Xia Feng felt very aggrieved.
Mu Li reflected for a second, and couldn't help laughing: "How does Xiao Fengfeng want me to comfort you?"
"Hey, can you have a little sincerity, it's okay to give a hug!" Xia Feng was very dissatisfied, and raised his head high, but he could only see the pale ceiling, which was too much.
Embrace?
Mu Li looked at Xia Feng holding his arm, and felt a kind of paternalistic helplessness, stood on tiptoe, quickly kissed him on the chin facing him, and symbolically hugged him, and then continued to leave.
"I have to hurry up and wait until it gets dark and I won't be able to work. β
What Mu Li said was natural, but no matter how you heard it, it was easy for people to misunderstand.
When Xia Feng came back to his senses, the sound of the backyard door being opened was clearly coming into his ears, and he touched the place where Mu Li had just kissed, his eyes were half-squinted thoughtfully, and he was indescribably depressed in his heart.
Mu Li subconsciously felt that she had to stay in such a busy state in order not to think about other things, to ignore her physical abnormalities, to hide the fear in her heart - she had been practicing magic and honing martial arts since she was a child, and the matter of 'fighting' had already become a part of her life, even an extremely important part - if these were gone, her existence itself might be meaningless.
Among the dragon clan, only she can enter and exit the Dragon Island at will, only she can travel all over the Gods and Demons Continent to find the whereabouts of the Dragon Balls, if she even has a problem with self-preservation, it is waste, and the future is ...... There is no future, in addition to not being able to fight, she can't meet her acquaintances, everything in the future can only be borne by Xia Feng, she thought that they could be in the same boat, but now it seems that her cowardice will become his heaviest burden.
It's not sadness, it's despair and fear, so scared that you don't want to touch it.
For a whole afternoon, Xia Feng knocked on the side, testing her tolerance limit from all aspects, Mu Li knew and understood, but she just blindly pretended to be stupid, evading the answers to all the key questions, and didn't even need to think, relying on instinct to avoid those topics.
And running away from things is definitely not Mu Li's character, and now there is only one explanation - she was frightened and had a deep fear of becoming a "waste person".
How can it be a "waste person"?
Xia Feng walked out of the yard with a picnic blanket, ignored Mu Li, walked straight to a big tree on the low slope by the river, laid the blanket, lay on it, and waited for the sun to set.
When the stars twinkled and the summer wind was drowsy, Mu Li climbed up the low slope and sat down beside him, as quiet as the sea of stars.
Mu Li looked up at the sky, he couldn't see the Milky Way, nor could he see the constellations in his dream, only the nine stars were surprisingly bright, in the world in the dream, people were more familiar with the name "Big Dipper", but few people knew, in fact, there were two stars nearby, the saying of "Big Dipper" seemed to exist only in the ancient civilization that he was familiar with, and they were almost difficult to observe with the naked eye because of their dim light, so they were naturally ignored.
But here, in the real world, their name is "The Nine Nakshatras of the Western Realm", which means that their position is on the west side of the sky, and the nine stars can be seen, and they are also brighter and more dazzling.
Although there are many differences, those stars seem to prove something, the two worlds she is familiar with must be in the same universe!
There is no magic in the world in the dream, and the concept of martial arts is completely different from here, people rely more on the power of science and technology, more freedom, equality, and peace, even if they become their current useless appearance, they can exist normally in that world......
