Chapter 174: This is the Future
Sitting by the flower bed, the two of them looked at the blooming irises in front of them, and they were a little distracted.
Three months ago, it was just a cookie-cutter town. Whether it is a house, a road, or a shuttle between them, the people who work hard every day are all covered with a thick layer of dust that is difficult to erase.
Just like this wasteland that has been weathered by wind and sand for thousands of years, no matter how time passes, all that remains under the scorching sun and stars is the same silence day after day.
And if it was placed half a year ago, the land at that time, in addition to this constant dryness, there was also the same ubiquitous numbness.
In the past three months, Liu Ergou has been busy in the alchemy workshop and smelting furnace almost every day. Until today, under the leadership of Seattle, he is like waking up from a big dream, amazed by his North Plains City.
Seattle stood up, walked over to an extraordinarily bright irise, and looked at it carefully.
In Liu Ergou's eyes, the Seattle in front of him, no matter what aspect, is not inferior to these blooming flowers.
Liu Ergou's gaze was a little unsure of where to go.
As if feeling Liu Ergou's gaze behind him, Seattle looked at the flowers blooming in front of him and said softly
"Is it pretty?"
"Beautiful."
Irises are naturally good-looking, but what the two are talking about at this moment may not only be these flowers.
Picking the flower casually, Seattle walked up to Liu Ergou, and then pinned it to Liu Ergou's collar quite mischievously.
Liu Ergou's heart began to beat violently almost instantly!
But he couldn't figure out whether the excitement of this heart was because of the familiar and unfamiliar fragrance that lingered between the two at this moment? Or is it the gentle breeze that gently brushes the silky strands of hair across his forehead?
Or is it the pair of small hands that are as white as jade at his neckline, and the warm touch that occasionally comes from his neck?
After finishing the work at hand, Seattle sat down next to Liu Ergou and naturally leaned over.
Liu Ergou's whole body was as if he had been electrocuted, and he instantly straightened up!
"It's awkward!"
A small hand knocked on Liu Ergou's shoulder with a little dissatisfaction, and by the way, the words of both shyness and resentment were sent into his ears.
Liu Ergou took a deep breath, but he didn't want to suck the fragrance next to him again!
After trembling slightly, Liu Ergou slowly exhaled, and his body began to gradually relax.
Seattle arched in satisfaction, snuggling up to him like a kitten.
The afternoon sun was blocked by the longhouse, casting a rather cool shadow on the two of them
"That ......" Liu Ergou thought about it, but still opened his mouth with a straight face.
"Actually, I ...... Hmm......" His tongue seemed to have been petrified, and he was so stiff that he couldn't say the words in his heart.
"I ...... Alas......" held back for a moment, and the words full of stomach finally turned into a long sigh, both shy and heavy.
"I know."
The kitten beside him moved, sending a somewhat clear word.
This short sentence seems to help Liu Ergou make up his mind.
"Seattle, you know where I'm now."
"Where to start......" Liu Ergou raised his hand, wanting to scratch his head habitually, but he took it back.
After all, Seattle seemed to be lying very comfortably, and Liu Ergou didn't want to disturb her, nor did he want to spoil the atmosphere of this moment.
After settling down, Liu Ergou slowly spoke:
"Today's Beiyuan City, although it finally has the appearance of a city, but how hard this result is, you and I both know it."
"In our group, apart from you and me, which one of the others is not bitter and hateful?"
"Needless to say, Ellanster and Bufax, now there's Dries and her gang."
"Since I am now in front of this boss, then you say, aren't these responsibilities of theirs my responsibility?"
"I bear their responsibilities, but who can bear my responsibilities?"
Seattle nodded, and arched into Liu Ergou's arms again.
Liu Ergou simply relaxed completely, stroked Seattle's long hair, and then said slowly
"It's been almost a year since I rescued you and Avril at sea. Every day of the year, aren't we all together, helping each other? ”
"Avril is still young, and maybe she doesn't understand all of this yet. But you and I have been together for so long, how can I not understand your mind? ”
"And how can I, on the other hand, be indifferent to everything?"
"It's not that I don't want to respond now, it's just that my burden is so heavy that I hardly dare to take a vacation to enjoy this relationship with you."
A small hand gently patted Liu Ergou's thigh, half understanding, half soothing.
"yes, I understand."
"So" After a pause, Liu Ergou said again: "I believe you can understand me, Seattle." For the sake of these people who believe in me, I have to take up this burden and work hard. And the road ahead is still inseparable from your understanding and support. ”
"Besides, I always have to build a beautiful Beiyuan City to be worthy of your status as the city lord's wife."
After Liu Ergou finished speaking, he touched Seattle's head again.
"yes, I understand."
The same words came again, only this time in a much quieter voice and much more shy.
Liu Ergou didn't say any more, just continued to comb Seattle's long hair.
His movements were clumsy, careful, and gentle, as if what he was holding in his hand at the moment was a treasure like no other in the world.
"Eh!"
Seattle suddenly screamed softly, Liu Ergou, a stupid person, still pulled off one of her hair.
Straightened up, Seattle shook his long hair refreshingly, and looked at Liu Ergou dizzy again.
"Alright." Pulling the ends of his hair, Seattle jumped lightly and deftly on the spot, but he looked a bit like Avril.
Stretching out a finger, Seattle poked Liu Ergou's forehead, "It's not your style to say this kind of thing seriously." ”
She herself didn't realize it, and her fair cheeks were already crimson at this moment.
"Just be your boss. As for me, I'll just wait for you in peace...... Also, don't always carry everything on your shoulders. ”
"When you are sheltering us, don't forget that we are also supporting you with all our might."
Liu Ergou nodded.
"And," Thea's cheeks turned a little redder as if he remembered something again, and then whispered in a somewhat embarrassed voice:
"I'm not the only one you're going to carry......"
For this sentence, Liu Ergou just didn't hear it, and Seattle also dragged Liu Ergou and walked towards the crowd in the distance as if nothing had happened.
Other people's business, let it be.
Anyway, Liu Ergou looked down at the purple iris on the neckline, Seattle today, he can be regarded as expressing everything he wants to say and what he doesn't say. As soon as she returns to the square, Seattle is dragged by the bouncing Avril to study the "tonic for Elanster".
However, Drisi didn't follow, just held a wine glass and looked at Liu Ergou playfully.
