Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Forgotten Summer of That Year
Bai Quanyu pulled the golden sword away from Du Fei's body, Du Fei was already pale at this time, he stepped on Du Fei's face and asked, "Tell me, where to put the gold coins that snatched me." β
Du Fei just stared at his bloodshot eyes, and didn't respond to him, he was already unconscious.
"My lord, he's dead. Bai Sheng replied in the back. After he listened, he slowly withdrew his right foot from the door in front of him, and what he owed me must be repaid sooner or later, and if he doesn't pay it now, it's just that the time has not yet come.
He picked up Bai Sheng, walked to the windowsill, and shouted to the thunderbird in the sky: "Brother Thunderbird, come and answer quickly." β
However, the Thunderbird only flew out of the clouds for a short time before returning to the sky, and when he looked closely, it turned out that the army on the ground had sent their griffons to entangle the Thunderbird.
"Oh no, the Thunderbird is surrounded by griffins. β
Bai Sheng watched the Thunderbird bite the griffin in the air, but he didn't worry and said, "It's very powerful, and those griffins are not its opponents." β
"That being said, but as long as the griffin is holding the Thunderbird on it, there is no way for us to leave. β
Bai Sheng suddenly wrapped his hand around Bai Quanyu's neck, his face was full of joy, Bai Quanyu was frightened by her sudden move, he wanted to break free, but she didn't let him break free.
"My lord, let me continue to hug you, and I'll give you two mysterious gifts later. β
"This ...... I haven't accused you of running out and taking risks."
"When you get home, you can punish whatever you want, let me hug it now. Bai Sheng is like a tame lamb, entangled his face red, after all, men and women don't kiss, if it weren't for special circumstances, he didn't want to get too close to these girls.
"This ...... Only once. Bai Quanyu was helpless, but she didn't dare to let the seriously injured her have some unpleasant thoughts, so she had to let her arm her neck like this.
He looked out the window at the scenery, ghouls were still wandering around, the green venom aperture flashing and flickering, and he didn't know when such a catastrophe would end.
As he sank into his own world of thoughts, slowly, a picture of the past that had gradually faded into his mind came to his and Bai Sheng's minds.
When the two were very young, Bai Quanyu and she both lost their mothers, and his father Bai Quanlong was not at ease because he was not at ease about staying in the castle alone because he was out to fight against Warcraft, so he took him around, and one summer, he followed his father to the countryside to crusade against Warcraft, passing through General Bai Zhuo's hometown......
"Yu, this time I want to wronged you to stay in General Bai Zhuo's house for a while, our opponent this time is very strong, and my father can't protect your safety. β
"Daddy, don't, I'm going with you too, I'll be scared if you don't sleep with me. β
General Bai Zhuo and the old lord who accompanied him smiled slightly and said, "Yu is already a big child, be obedient, General Bai Zhuo has a lot of delicious food and fun at home, you will definitely not be disappointed." β
"No, I'm going to follow, what's so fun in this kind of poor country, I want to watch you fight, I want to learn from my father and generals, and I want to be a big hero." β
The old lord picked him up and said, "Son, a big hero is not a goal that can be achieved in a day, but a small hero can be achieved in a short time, do you want to know how to become a little hero?" β
The young Bai Quanyu nodded desperately, Bai Quanlong stretched out his finger and pointed to a little girl hiding behind the withered yellow wooden fence, and said: "During the time when the fathers are gone, if you can protect Uncle Bai Zhuo's daughter from being bullied by other children, and from being bullied by other animals and monsters, then you are a little hero." β
"This ...... It doesn't seem to be difficult. β
"Who said it's not difficult, you can't make people cry, if she is bullied by others when we come back, as long as you have once, you will fail to achieve your goal. β
"Can't you cry once?"
"That's right, you can't make this little sister cry once. β
Bai Quanlong's troops drove into the mountains and forests, and in the wild forest hut on the outskirts, only an old woman, a shy little girl, and a little boy who wanted to become a little hero were left.
When dusk fell, and there was peace in the mountains, the old woman brought the two children to the dining table, on which there were only two simple bowls and a plate of roast chicken, and the little boy glanced at the little girl opposite, and the little girl was immediately so frightened that she moved the little stool on her ass and stepped back a square.
This man was the future lord and her father's future boss, and she was very afraid of her father, so she was even more afraid of this boy, but the old woman was very open, she carried the little girl back to the table and let them eat.
He stretched out his hand and quickly grabbed a chicken leg, shook it to her, when she was at home before, the chicken leg was her alone, today suddenly saw that the things that originally belonged to her were taken away, this pair of lovely eyes immediately flashed crystal tears, the little boy took a bite of the chicken leg, and immediately remembered what his father said before leaving, he said, this little sister must not be allowed to cry, even if it is only once, it is his failure.
"Don't cry, I'll give it to you. The little boy anxiously handed over the chicken leg in his hand, and the little girl hid behind the door with a stool like a tiger.
"Don't be surprised, little lord, this child is timid by nature and rarely dares to come into contact with strangers. β
"But, it seems like I'm taking her drumsticks. β
"It doesn't matter, this little baby has to eat at any time, if you like to eat, little lord, everything on the table will be yours. β
"Wow......" After the little girl heard the old woman's words, she felt that the food was hopeless, and she couldn't help the tears in her eyes.
The little boy was in a hurry, and there was only one thought in his mind, he couldn't cry, he couldn't cry, and he jumped over the table at once, and threw her to the ground, he covered her little mouth with one hand, and held the fragrant chicken leg in his hand with the other, and he couldn't even tolerate the slightest refusal from her.
"Please, don't cry, it's okay if you don't want to get close to me, it's okay if you don't like me, the chicken leg will be returned to you, as long as you don't cry. The little boy looked at her sincerely and said it word by word.
The little girl seemed to be frightened by him, but when she saw the little boy's serious appearance, she finally knew that this person would never bully her, and slowly, her tears stopped.
The little boy saw her tears in her eyes little by little, and dared to let go of his hand, at this time, the chicken leg that was originally placed on his hand had been forcibly pressed on the little girl's hand.
"I ...... I'll protect you. β
Since this day, he volunteered to become the little girl's umbrella, the little girl every day to help the old woman harvest wheat back, will meet other country friends on the road to bully, he played the role of a brother, the little boy has practiced a little skill in the castle since he was a child, so a few times to beat those country children away, sometimes meet some tall people, he will be like a hooligan with a stone and each other smash each other, hit the opposite head to break the blood flow at the same time he is also red and swollen, back to the hut, originally every day by the old woman to help him wipe the potion, and then I don't know when it started, the little girl robbed the old woman of the taskAlthough she still didn't dare to talk to this person at this time, but from that day on, she would stick to him every day, sometimes when she went out to harvest wheat, she would also raise her head to see if he was not around, if he was not, her day would be overshadowed, if she was, she would quietly hum a little song, while dancing, and working happily in the wheat field.
I don't know when, the little boy slowly turned into an iron nail nailed to her lifeline, as long as she saw him being knocked down in order to protect her or saw him injured by various things, her heart hurt like a nail twitching, she began to refuse his protection, she began to be more shy, originally two people across a dining table can be made by a stool to make a difference of four or five meters, and then gradually became as long as he eats in the house, she does not dare to come in and sit with him.
Every time he asked her why she was avoiding her, she would never answer, and several times she was forced by him to be anxious, and she couldn't escape, she could only say that she was afraid that her recklessness would bump into Lord Yu.
In order to get closer to her, in order to take her out of the lonely psychology, every night falls, he will take her hand and walk by the river, catch the flashing fireflies, he has made one firefly lantern after another for her, and also caught one fat river fish after another for her, they always set up a small tent by the river in the summer night, they skewer the river fish and barbecue on the bank, he is a clumsy cook, every fish in his hands is finally turned into charcoal, she because she can't stand it, gradually take the initiative to take over the task of grilling fish, a catch fish, a grilled fish, a whole summer, they are spent in joyγ
Once, the little boy asked her what kind of flower she liked the most, she said dandelion, he put a dandelion hairpin glued into a ball for her hair, the little boy asked her what kind of animal she was most afraid of, she said wild dog, the little boy helped her draw a wild lion's head and put it on her forehead, he said that the wild dog saw the head of the wild lion, naturally he didn't dare to provoke her again.
Just a few months passed quickly, the troops who crusaded against the monster came back, they wanted to pick up the little boy, that day it was not easy to keep the little girl who didn't cry for a few months, the first time she cried, she firmly held his hand, and she didn't let him go, she was afraid of her father, but that day she was unusually brave, not only did she not take her father's words in her eyes, even the lord Bai Quanlong she dared to refuse in person, Long liked this little girl very much, but Bai Zhuo wanted to forcibly pull her away, their identities doomed them to be unable to stick together all the timeγ But even so, she also clung to his sleeves tightly, no one dared to come near her, she never cried so much, the little boy only promised, if she could come to his castle to play in the future, he would give her the most playful toys, and give her all the things he liked, but no matter what, the little girl could not convince herself to let him disappear from sight, at this time she had already found out, as long as she could not see him for a moment she would collapse, he had occupied all the places in her heart, however, the little girl's strength was finally limited, and she was powerless to pull, and she could only watch him being taken into the carriage by her fatherWatching him disappear into the sunset little by little with the wheels of the carriage, she covered her eyes with her tiny arms and kept chasing and running behind, trying to save the last bit of memory, the hazy tears had already blurred her vision, until she was exhausted, fell on the side of the road, and was rescued by the soldiers who turned back.
Later, after Bai Zhuo, who returned home, found out about the changes in his daughter, he told her that the little lord already had a person to marry, and he asked her not to worry about it in the future, and he destroyed the portrait of the wild lion that the little boy gave her, the dandelion hairpin, the secret base of the grilled fish, and other things that covered her memories, and in desperation, she locked herself in her room for three years......
"Bai Sheng, have I forgotten something. Bai Quanyu looked at the sky, his eyes flashing.
Hearing his words, the thread buried deepest in her heart suddenly throbbed, she bit her lower lip, tears rolled in her eyes, her eyes were already red, this was a surprise or an accident, he really didn't forget her, he didn't forget that summer, he didn't forget the girl who didn't dare to approach him because of shyness.
She endured it for a long time before she put the tears of surprise back in her stomach and said a few words in a trembling voice, "Yes, who knows?"
