Chapter 48: Looking Back
At this time, the room Xu Ke was in was getting darker and darker, and the faint light that was left had gradually disappeared, and after sunset, the world also entered the real night. Murong Yan took out a thin red candle from the cabinet and lit it, with this flickering candlelight, in an instant, there was a trace of warmth and warmth in this small and simple room.
Murong Yan returned to the table and sat down, she saw that Xu Ke was only concerned about drinking, and he didn't move a mouthful of the wolf meat that was still left on the plate, so she urged repeatedly:
"Brother Wuxi, you eat it! Why don't you eat such delicious meat? After a while, after the wolf meat is cold, not only will it be fat and fishy, but it will be so hard that you can't bite it!"
Xu Ke pushed the plate of wolf meat in front of Murong Yan and said with a smile: "Yan'er, I just crossed over, and there is still some discomfort in my stomach, you should eat this meat!"
Murong Yan was no longer polite, she drank a few sips of water, reached out and picked up a piece of wolf meat and opened her mouth to chew it again. Regarding Xu Ke's question just now, she didn't answer directly.
Perhaps, Murong Yan avoided the question that she couldn't answer Xu Ke face-to-face by eating meat.
Xu Ke poured himself another bowl of wine, this time, he didn't dare to drink it all directly from the bowl, but took a small sip and a little sip. There was not much wine left in the pot, and since it was the last pot of wine, how could he be willing to drink it up in a few sips?
While he took a sip, he watched Murong Yan continue to chew on meat. Although this plate of wolf meat was difficult to swallow in Xu Ke's eyes, he watched Murong Yan eat so happily at this time, as if he was also tasting that plate of delicious food. Murong Yan's "gluttonous appearance" happened to be Xu Ke's best appetizer at this time.
Naturally, he saw that Murong Yan avoided his question and was reluctant to answer, so he didn't ask again. He and Murong Yan sat at the square table like this, drinking in small sips, and swallowing meat in large gulps, and the two of them sat straight for half a quarter of a while. There are still some remnants of the "Fenyang drunk" in Xu Ke's wine pot, but the wolf meat on Murong Yan's plate has been eaten by her.
Murong Yan gently stroked her stomach with her hand, burped several times in a row, and finally showed a happy and satisfied look on her face after eating.
"Brother Disease-free, I haven't eaten so much for a long time! I seem to have eaten well today...... It's a little too much to eat......" Murong Yan said embarrassedly while caressing her stomach.
"Yan'er...... Are you okay?" Xu Ke exclaimed, and for a while his heart was full of mixed feelings. He saw that Murong Yan was so satisfied when he just ate a plate of fishy wolf meat, and he really didn't know how she had survived in the past ten years. I don't know how much suffering she has endured and how many hardships she has gone through to survive in this "demonized" world to the present.
"What do you usually eat, and what else can you eat in this world today?" Xu Ke asked again. In his mind, Yan'er has always been a fairy standing in the clouds, a peerless woman who will not be affected by the slightest smoke and fire in the world. Now, although Murong Yan in front of him has not changed in appearance, he has long lost the reserve of the eldest lady of Tianbao Pavilion in the past. She has completely ignored the face of everyone's ladies, and will gobble up and eat gluttonously for a plate of wolf meat that is difficult to swallow......
Xu Ke's heart couldn't help but give birth to ten thousand emotions, he really didn't know whether he should feel relieved or lost at this moment?
"Yan'er is fine! Brother who is not sick don't worry, Yan'er may have eaten a little too much, but it will only take a while, and it will be fine!" Murong Yan replied with a smile.
Speaking of their usual food, Murong Yan sighed and said:
"In the world we live in right now, it's nice to have a bite to eat. Brother without disease, I won't tell you that in today's world, as long as you can eat it...... We all eat!"
"As long as it can be eaten, we will all eat it!" Xu Ke chewed Yan'er's words in his heart. The bitterness and hardship contained in this sentence, if you are not a person who has experienced it yourself, who can understand it?
Xu Ke lowered his head and sighed, melancholy......
After Murong Yan finished eating, she hastily cleaned up, but lay down on the low couch. At this time, the night is already dark, if ordinary people have reached this moment, there is nothing else, it is time to go to bed to find Zhou Gong.
Murong Yan curled up and covered the only thin blanket on the low couch. She was lying facing the wall and clothes on the inside of the low couch, and seeing that Xu Ke was still sitting on the small square stool, she couldn't help but say: "Brother Wuxi, you are also tired today, why don't you rest early!"
Xu Ke bowed his head and sat on the outside of the low couch.
Murong Yan turned her head to look at the burning red candle, and ordered Xu Ke with some embarrassment: "Brother Disease-free, can you blow out the candle before you lie down?"
"But, Yan'er, I still want to talk to you for a while......" Xu Ke replied. He scratched his forehead, looking a little embarrassed.
"Okay! Yan'er is not sleepy today, and if your brother wants to know anything, Yan'er will tell you. Only, that candle was the last one in the room. Brother who is not sick, you are still ......" Murong Yan said again.
Without waiting for Murong Yan to finish speaking, Xu Ke hurriedly blew out the slender red candle with a "poof". The room was plunged into darkness again
As the candles went out, the earthen fort outside the house gradually fell silent. The inhabitants of Tucheng seemed to have fallen asleep after they had eaten and drunk enough. Outside the window, in addition to the faint light of the torches at the city gate, which was still faintly flickering, it also fell into darkness......
"Brother Wuxi, what do you want to know?" Murong Yan saw that Xu Ke refused to lie down, so she also sat up, leaned against the wall, and said softly.
"This ......" Xu Ke scratched his forehead, and didn't know where to start for a while.
At this moment, the room was pitch black, and he could barely see Murong Yan's face, but he could clearly feel the breath of Murong Yan's body, which was coming from his face one by one...... Although ten years have passed, the fragrance of the girl has not changed at all.
In the dark, Murong Yan heard that Xu Ke was still speechless after a while, so she said to herself: "If you don't know what to ask, why don't you let Yan'er ask you a question first?"
"You say," Xu Ke said.
Murong Yan asked, "Brother Wuxi, what Yan'er wants to ask you is, you were ten years ago...... Like me?"
"This ......!" Xu Ke couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard this, and he couldn't see the expression on Murong Yan's face at this time. Murong Yan naturally couldn't see that Xu Ke's cheeks were swollen and red at this time. Not only that, at this moment, Xu Ke's heart was beating wildly, his breath was short, and even his palms were sweating slightly. He really didn't expect that he had just met Murong Yan not long ago. His Yan'er suddenly asked him such a straightforward question.
"Brother Innocent, you ...... Why don't you speak?" Murong Yan asked again.
Obviously, Murong Yan at this moment was also extremely nervous in her heart. She was nervously and anxiously waiting for Xu Ke's answer.
"Yan'er, I'm ...... I like you!" Xu Ke finally mustered up the courage and made a confession to Murong Yan in the dark. Perhaps, it is this darkness that gives Xu Ke great courage in his heart, if it is a day under the light, Xu Ke may not be able to answer so boldly.
"Great! Disease-free brother, Yan'er...... I like you too!Not only ten years ago, but Yan'er has always liked you in the past ten years!" Murong Yan replied happily. In the dark, although Xu Ke couldn't see the expression on Yan'er's face at this moment, he could vaguely hear the sound of her rapid breathing. Obviously, after saying these words, Murong Yan at this moment was even more nervous and excited, happy and excited than Xu Ke......
A small room, a low couch no more than three feet wide, the two of them were already very close, and after each of them made their inner confessions, Murong Yan couldn't help but lean on Xu Ke's shoulder. Xu Ke had the heart to reach out and hug Murong Yan, but although he thought about it in his heart, his hands were still frozen in place, and he didn't dare to move much.
The two of them leaned together like this, and although each was already in a state of excitement and excitement, each of them remained silent......
Xu Ke's state of mind at this time seemed to be like a dream. But he had experienced a dream in the Mirror Flower Tower before, and compared the two, he knew that this was not a dream, but that there was no more real reality than this reality. The joy, satisfaction, joy, and excitement in his heart at this moment were truly incomparable. He even wanted to open his mouth to cheer loudly, run hard at checkers, and he wanted to tell the world that he, Xu Ke, was the happiest man in the world!
However, he did nothing, did not move, did not say much. Even, he carefully sat on the low couch, in order to make Murong Yan lean comfortably on his shoulder, he didn't dare to move even a finger easily......
This feeling, this scene, this heart...... This life is enough!
At this time, if you still have to force yourself to speak, wouldn't half a word be redundant?!
Xu Ke really didn't expect that in this small and dim room, in this ordinary dark night, in this world that had been "demonized", he actually felt the happiest moment in his life!
The two of them leaned together like this, and I don't know how long it took......
Murong Yan sat up again and said softly, "Brother Wuxi, do you want to know why our world has become like this?"
Xu Ke hurriedly said: "Yan'er, I was also about to ask you! Tell me quickly, what has happened in the past ten years, how can this piece of the world become so unrecognizable?"
Murong Yan let out a long sigh and said:
"Actually, to this day, we don't know why this world suddenly became a 'demonized' world? I only know that it was a summer day ten years ago, and I still remember that day was the first day of the sixth month. When I woke up early that morning, I saw that the world around me had changed beyond recognition......"
According to Murong Yan's account, it was the summer of ten years ago, that is, the first day of the sixth month of the 71st year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty. Murong Yan was awakened early in the morning by a loud roar. As soon as she woke up, she saw a big mountain rising outside Chang'an City not far away. A huge hole at the top of the mountain was spewing puffs of smoke into the sky. Everywhere the smoke passed, the birds flew away, and the flowers and plants burned, and gradually it seemed as if the whole sky was about to be enveloped. With the roar, the entire Chang'an City also shook......
"It's an earthquake!" the crowd around them was running, shouting, crying, and running for their lives. No one can care about the life of this eldest lady of Tianbao Pavilion anymore. Murong Huan grabbed her side at the first time, couldn't help but say, picked up Murong Yan's body and ran. That east mountain and north
Ling and the other four generals of the Murong Mansion also followed closely all the way.
Murong Huan hugged Murong Yan, and ran with light skills along the way, he struggled to block the flying stones, giant trees, and broken tiles that came from the sky...... All kinds of flying things, after half an hour of running, broke through many obstacles, and then brought Murong Yan to an open space outside Chang'an City. At this time, everyone looked back at Chang'an and saw that the capital, which was extremely prosperous in the past, was suffering from an unprecedented catastrophe.
At that moment, Chang'an seemed to have been suddenly descended by an angry god and was trampling everywhere with his boundless big feet. This great city, under the ravages of this giant god, houses collapsed, the land cracked, mountains collapsed, and rivers poured back...... Whether it was a low-rise tiled house where the commoners lived, or a majestic palace where the emperor lived, they were all reduced to a pile of rubble after half an hour. Chang'an City was destroyed, and the lives of many mortals were buried in this big city.
Mountains and rivers are shattered, cities are destroyed, huge caves are towering, and thick smoke bills ...... This is only the beginning, and more terrible is yet to come. As the black smoke spewed more and more, it gathered more and more thickly, and almost obscured the sky. Out of nowhere, all kinds of monsters suddenly appeared in this world. Those monsters, in all shapes, are all long and strong, and they are fierce and cruel by nature. When those demons saw people, they rushed forward and bit them, and after biting them to death, they devoured them, and they used all the mortals in the world as their rations.
One of those monsters was a big black wolf with three huge wolf heads and a body that was two feet long. The "three big black wolves" are vicious and cruel, and they like to devour the flesh of living people the most, and each big black wolf has to prey on no less than three living people a day. Therefore, as long as people talked about the name of "three black wolves", they were all frightened and trembled. These three big black wolves are also called "big monsters", which is the reason.
At the beginning, there were not many monsters rushing to the world, and with Murong Huan beside each other, they were all killed by him with a sword. Several of them saw that the world had undergone great changes in the blink of an eye, and the entire Chang'an was also destroyed in an instant, and they were also surprised for a while, somehow. At this time, everyone saw that Xu Ke took Hu Yiyi and Yao Zibei out of Chang'an, and they gathered in one place in two places.
After Murong Huan and Xu Ke discussed, Xu Ke led four Murong Mansion generals including Dongshan and Xichuan to escort the three female dependents all the way to the south to find a place to live. Murong Huan himself still had to enter the city again, he was in a hurry, and he didn't know that at this moment, his father Murong Yuanshan, as well as the safety of his eldest brother, fourth brother and others. He also has to go back to the city to find out the whereabouts of his relatives. And more importantly, for this sudden change, Murong Huan didn't know why, he vowed to go back and find out......
Xu Ke saw that Murong Huan kept dissuading him, and he had to go back to the city alone, so he had to go with him. Under Murong Huan's cautious advice, Xu Ke took everyone and left the dangerous place of Chang'an first.
At that time, Xu Ke was also at a loss in his heart, and he really didn't know what happened in this world to give birth to such a catastrophe. He led the people aimlessly all the way to the south, but he saw that every hundred miles, a hill would protrude, and a huge black hole would break through at the top of the hill, constantly spewing black smoke into the sky. The black smoke obscured the sky and the sun, and everywhere it went, it not only blocked the sunlight shining in the sky, but also burned all the flowers and trees on the earth. The whole earth was still shaking everywhere, and huge cracks were born around everyone from time to time.
Along the way, everyone kept seeing the tragic scenes of burning grass and trees and destroying houses. Countless people died under the earthquake and black smoke, and there were all kinds of monsters that came out of nowhere, abusing them everywhere. In this world, there are not many dead people. Xu Ke did his best to protect each other along the way, but when he saw the monsters raging, he came to the rescue, and finally they rescued dozens of refugees. Those refugees were powerless, and they followed Xu Ke and his party closely along the way.
Later, everyone went south, and after some twists and turns, they finally decided to settle down in Xuchang City temporarily. They used the gravel and soil after the earthquake to build a small earthen city near the water in the middle of Xuchang City. Xu Keben discussed with everyone to settle down in this Xuchang City for a while. In the future, they will continue south to find a place to live. No, the people around here heard that the "city lord" here was strong in martial arts, and there were more and more refugees who came to defect. Faced with these many helpless and pitiful refugees, Xu Ke couldn't bear to leave them and go by himself......
No one would have thought that they would stay in Xuchang City for ten years. After years of hard work by the people of the city, the walls of this earthen fort have been repeatedly built, and they are finally able to resist those monsters and win a safe place for everyone. In the past ten years, Xu Ke, Hu Yiyi, Murong Yan and others have been helping to shelter refugees, fighting monsters and killing monsters, and fighting for food......
And after Murong Huan separated from them that day, he never appeared again. Although with Murong Huan's divine skills, those monsters would definitely not be able to hurt him. But why did he look for it in the future, and let Xu Ke and others inquire everywhere, he never heard any news from Murong Huan. What happened in this? Is Murong Huan more than lucky? Everyone is also at a loss......
Xu Ke heard what Murong Yan said about this unbelievable past, and he sighed for a long time in his heart. At this time, Murong Yan was silent, and at that moment, his heart suddenly moved, and he immediately asked:
"Yan'er, I want to ask you, why did I marry Sister Hu in the past ten years?"
