Chapter 395: A Worrying Conversation
"You...... Are you alright, Major Dodim?" Qi Lang took a few steps, and gave Dodim a warm hug as usual.
"I'm fine. Dodim also hugged Qi Lang's shoulders hard, "Didn't you see it, I'm very good." ”
Dodim said it easily, but Qi Lang saw it very clearly, he was very weak, his face was pale, his body was covered in bruises, and his body was much thinner than before, compared to Dodim, Qi Lang even felt that he was a big man.
"Do you want to sit for a while? Or do you want to go now?" Dodim moved his body, as if he wanted to move, but he couldn't control his body as he used to, so he answered his question: "Let's sit for a while, the scenery here is not bad, and you know that there is a rare sunny day in Snow Wolf Canyon - this shows that the formidable king is the representative of the gods, and even the heavens have to look at your face, so we should cherish this short moment." ”
Qi Lang nodded, just as he had done when he first met Dodim, and obeyed the order, sat down beside him, and chatted with the gracious brother.
Dodim was right, the scenery of Snow Wolf Canyon was not bad on a sunny day, and Qi Lang noticed that the cliffs were not black, but dark green, especially in the sunny place, the cracks in the rocks were covered with moss, and even a few unknown small trees could be seen rooted between the rocks. And in the sunlight, Qi Lang found that the sharp stones under his feet didn't look so annoying.
Igru was still wandering around, not seeming to give up, still searching in vain for his brother's breath. Iglu's injuries don't show any signs of improving. The wound to the chest was long and deep. Qi Lang didn't dare to look directly. He was terrified that he would see Igru's heart beating there, and Dodim frowned heartbrokenly at the injuries.
"Igru is miserable. He sighed faintly, "You must already know that snow wolves have magical healing abilities for ordinary injuries, and they can heal themselves and their fateful companions. ”
Qi Lang shook his head bitterly: "But this time it seems that there was an accident, he has always been like this, scarred." I even suspect it will take him a long time to recover. And even if he recovers, there is a good chance that the scars on his body will remain......"
But Qi Lang quickly came out of his worries, and said to Dodim with a look of undoubted conviction: "But I have heard a saying that time can heal all wounds, and even those unhappy past events in the past will gradually fade away with time. ”
Dodim smiled faintly, "Oh, the magic of time, it's amazing......" He sat there silent for a moment, as if lost in thought. It took a long time before he raised his head, patted Qi Lang's shoulder and said, "I'm resting." Also ready and we can hit the road. ”
Qi Lang stood up and stretched out his arm to help Dodim, but he waved his hand and still stood up with his own strength: "Don't underestimate my strength, sergeant, I can still do it, like I said, I'm ready." ”
"I'm sorry, Major, but you know I don't doubt your strength......" Qi Lang smiled, and was about to take a step, only to find that the direction Dodim had chosen was not the exit to the Black Forest on the east side, but his own path. "What? you don't plan to go back?" Qi Lang was stunned.
"Go back, of course, but that direction is the way back. Dodim shook his head with a smile and said with emotion, "We always encounter situations where the choice of direction is often different from what you expect." ”
Qi Lang opened his mouth, but finally gave up on expressing his suggestion. "Well, this time, I'll listen to you. He leaned over and consciously acted as a humanoid crutch, with Dodim on his shoulder, limping westward.
The sharp stone still clucked like that, and Dodim frowned slightly with almost every step he took, but he was stubborn and refused to let Qi Lang carry him on his shoulder, as if this was the path he had chosen, and the torture he suffered along the way must also be borne by himself.
It was the first time that Qi Lang had taken such a close and serious look at Dodim: he was handsome, with a white face, pale blue eyes, and gray-gray hair...... When it comes to the color of his hair, that's probably Dodim's only regret, because it always seems to give people the impression of pre-aging, at least in private, the soldiers used to talk about it. However, Qi Lang has always held a completely opposite opinion on this, although that color is not as noble as gold, but it looks very pleasing to the eye and very kind.
"What's wrong?" Dodim said, noticing that he was under Qi Lang's gaze, smiling and squinting his eyes, "You're looking at me, and you're looking a little strange, don't you think?" your eyes remind me of Bertram, that bastard guy keeps saying I'm very feminine, and I even suspect that he has more affection for me than for his wife. You've seen him, haven't you?"
Qi Lang smiled: "Yes, I have met Captain Bertram, and it is said that he is your fellow countryman. ”
"I'm not really a fellow either. Dodim sighed, "He's from the town, and I'm just from the outlying country." Of course, our accents are similar, but there are some differences, there are always differences between the town and the country. Bertram didn't mention that he used to call me a hillbilly to his face, did he?"
"But you hillbilly later completely overpowered him. Qi Lang raised his voice with some dissatisfaction, "The captain also told me that you gave him the position of the Spiral Front, and he was grateful for that. ”
Dodim laughed: "Don't listen to his nonsense. I didn't really give up that position to him, but I wanted to change the environment, Xia Qizhen's side was more important to me, and the Spiral Frontier Army here was also in need of manpower, so I took the initiative to ask Ying to come over. If I hadn't had this opportunity, I would have beaten him for the rest of his life. ”
Qi Lang smiled reluctantly: "Yes, it's always good to change the environment...... It can make some changes. In fact, you can achieve great things anywhere, I know that before joining the army, you traveled a lot, and that is where your advantage lies, and you must have gained a lot from traveling around the world. ”
Dodim closed his eyes and thought for a while: "The harvest is really not small, I have learned many languages and mastered a lot of useful knowledge. And most importantly, I know the world more really. I learned that the world is full of suffering, and that was really disappointing. ”
"Why do you think that?" Qi Lang's heart sank, and his face became ugly.
"Everywhere you go, you see a lot of unfairness, unhappiness. Dodim didn't seem to notice the change in Qi Lang's expression, "Because of hostility and malice, no matter how hard you try, it is extremely difficult to gain understanding and tolerance." ”
"But you met Mr. Zhu Lai. Qi Lang became a little anxious, "He's not like that. ”
"He's an exception, a rare exception. Dodim doesn't seem to be intent on continuing the topic of Mr. Zhulai, "But for the most part, people still have a preconceived notion that as long as you are a foreigner, you must first accept strange eyes, and you yellow-skinned guy must know this." ”
Qi Lang couldn't deny this, but he was still trying to refute it: "Strange eyes are actually nothing, I have always thought that those discrimination and prejudices are actually just a manifestation of fear, just like what happened to me in Xia Qi Town, they panic because they don't know me. As you may remember, those lads even thought I knew some Oriental sorcery, and even thought that I liked dog meat. But as we got to know each other, they accepted me, and now I'm very popular here, and it's hard to imagine that I got a whole bunch of loyal fans asking for autographs yesterday. ”
Dodim laughed happily: "That's really rare, if you plan to give up the throne one day, you can become a star or something, according to my observation, you have a lot of talent for dancing, you should find a way to develop from this aspect." ”
Qi Lang scratched his head, he knew that his waltz was a disaster, of course, Dodim should also be a layman, in terms of dancing, he was not even as good as Quiel. It seems that he really has little interest in entertainment projects, and he always does.
"Actually, you don't know," Dodim's tone was full of exclamation, "the treatment you get is one in a million, and you don't know how rare it is." ”
"No, I understand. Qi Lang still insisted on retorting, "I know that if I hadn't met you, if I hadn't met Dr. Qom, I might have had a very difficult time. ”
Dodim turned his head and looked seriously into Qi Lang's eyes, the expression was like Dr. Eden diagnosing a patient: "It won't be like that, you misjudged this." Even if you hadn't met Qom and me, you'd be the same as you are now. Because your origins are different, very different from most people. You are a noble prince, and you are the embodiment of justice in your bones, as if your blood had been purified, and there was never any evil in it. ”
"It's not like that. Qi Lang's voice became serious, "I've encountered those difficulties more than once, but I've survived them and eliminated those distractions. I have to admit that it was a tough process, but everyone has their own difficulties, doesn't it?"
Instead of answering Qi Lang's question directly, Dodim raised his eyebrows and reminded with a smile: "Look, we are here, Vache Town." (To be continued......)
