With his head lowered, Hua didn't want Mingyue to see his gloomy expression at this moment.
But she had to answer the other party's question.
Just as this human hero said, this is a different world and there are no outsiders. I only open my heart to him, and it seems that there is no problem at all?
The two little hands rested nervously on their knees, and Hua's voice was filled with hesitation:
"Mr. Mingyue, do you think that if I had accepted the invitation of the Fire Moth the first time, would the situation be the same as it is now?"
"If, I mean if—"
"After becoming a combatant, can I save Dad?"
With a choked voice, Hua said to himself without waiting for Mingyue to answer:
"Before Dad passed away, the person he was most worried about was me."
"According to the doctor, he was holding on and refused to die because he just wanted to see me one last time."
"When I found him, Dad didn't say anything. He just gave me his bank card and password."
Two lines of tears quietly slid down from the corners of his eyes. When he thought that his father was still worried about him at the last moment, Hua burst into tears.
She would rather not have this last gift.
After watching my father cremated, my life has become dull and bleak since then.
If Hua had not met Ming Yue before coming here, he would not know what his future would be like.
Suddenly, Hua felt himself entering a strong embrace.
When she raised her head slightly, she found that Ming Yue was hugging her gently.
"Obviously, your father also hopes that you can continue to live in peace."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until you took over the inheritance before leaving peacefully."
Ming Yue wiped away Hua's tears with his fingertips and hugged her quietly.
He knew very well that at Hua's age, as long as he could vent what was hidden in his heart, the future would be much easier.
But if you keep burying the problem in your heart, it will inevitably lead to an irreversible day.
Huaneng burst into tears, but he actually thought it was a good thing.
If she really doesn't cry or make a fuss, it will be quite troublesome.
After all, a person’s biggest enemy is not others, but himself.
If you can't even forgive yourself, then no one can save you.
After a long time, Hua was tired of crying and buried herself deeply in Mingyue's arms like a frightened kitten.
He showed his weakness to the other party, and there was no need to say more about Hua's trust in him.
Suddenly, a mountain breeze blew from the bottom up, ruffling her hair.
Ming Yue was all in Hua's red and swollen eyes. He suddenly asked in a very low voice:
"Mr. Mingyue, can I call you brother from now on?"
It was almost as tiny as a mosquito or fly. If Ming Yue did not have excellent hearing, he would have almost thought that it was the vibration made by the breeze blowing through the branches.
In response to Hua's request, he smiled and put his palms together:
"Anytime you want."
Trembling all over, Hua mustered up his courage:
"Brother Yue?"
The golden sunlight shone down and the two leaned against each other.
Listening to the joyful sound of the wind echoing in the mountains, Hua suddenly found -
Your own sun.
From now on, she will no longer be lonely, and will no longer be a transparent person all alone.
Hugging Mingyue tightly, her tone was filled with a sense of joy as if the clouds had been cleared and the sun had come out:
"Brother Yue, I will follow you from now on."
137 Ji Lin: Why are you opening a treasure chest in my house?
Around sunset, on a nameless hill, Mingyue and Hua found an abandoned human village.
"Brother Yue, something is not right here."
Standing in front of the damaged wall, Hua pointed at the huge claw marks left on the wall, looking confused:
"Even a ferocious beast like a tiger or lion wouldn't be able to dig through a stone wall with just one claw, right?"
"What kind of monster attacked this place?"
Following Hua's instructions, Ming Yue scanned the area and carefully observed the claw marks left on the wall. Then he suddenly spoke:
"It looks a bit like the marks left by the Honkai Beast."
"Look, the claw mark is wide at the top, narrow at the bottom, and has a bulge in the middle. It's a very distinct feature."
"But I'm not sure if the collapse phenomenon also exists in the other world."
After saying that, he stepped on the collapsed gate and walked into the village.
Judging from the very primitive buildings around, Mingyue can draw a conclusion:
This place cannot even catch up with the Middle Ages, let alone modern times.
Looking at the simple houses made of wooden frames and straw and mud, he felt that perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe them as being from ancient times.
Continuing deeper along the muddy dirt road, Ming Yue observed for a while and found that—
The residents of this village must have completed their migration not long ago.
From the messy traces left on the ground, he was quite sure that the people here had successfully escaped through the back door before the monsters broke through the wall.
Otherwise, there should be more monster footprints near the back door, instead of only traces of humans and heavy objects crushing the body.
"Brother, should we follow the traces and find those people?"
Stopping to the left of Mingyue, Hua felt much more cheerful after getting rid of his inner demons:
"If we can communicate with local people, it should help us quickly understand the world."
"But if we encounter an unfriendly tribe, it will be very troublesome."
"I read in a book that in places like these desolate mountains and wilderness, there might still be cannibals."
"Those dark-skinned chiefs love to throw outsiders into a big pot and cook them over a fire."
Seeing that his godsister had such a wild imagination, Ming Yue's expression became subtle.
He really didn't expect that Hua was so cute in private.
According to the inherent impression of the Red Kite Immortal by later generations, she should be considered an antique.
But in an instant, Ming Yue reacted:
Hua has not yet experienced the destruction of the previous civilization, the departure of his friends, and the backstabbing of seven traitors. He is still in his true newbie stage.
After hundreds and thousands of years of corrosion, who still remembers Hua's original appearance?
Perhaps, in the future, even she herself will have forgotten what she used to look like.
"I think it's more likely that these people were in the agricultural era than cannibals."
Pointing to the barn that had been blown down by the strong wind and heavy rain, Ming Yue explained:
"Look, these stone tools used for farming are crude, but they look quite functional."
"There are also cages for livestock and hunting equipment over there."
"While that doesn't prove they were a highly civilized society, there aren't any human bones scattered around, are there?"
Bending over to pick up a small piece of animal bone that had fallen beside the fence, Hua looked at the holes that had been artificially drilled through the surface and couldn't help asking:
"Brother Yue, this can't be their musical instrument, right?"
"Why does it feel a bit like Piccolo?"
Glancing at the bone flute, Ming Yue became even more convinced that the village was in the initial stage of civilization.
This also made him begin to doubt which world he had traveled to.
It can't be the ancient times, that's too outrageous!
Compared with primitive societies that used humans as sacrifices, capitalism belongs to the Trisolaran civilization.
Just as the two were searching the village, a weak voice came from behind:
"who are you!"
"What do you want to do with the Bear Clan?"
Turning around, Ming Yue saw a short girl in tattered clothes, holding a light golden bronze sword, stumbling to the door.
Seeing two strangely dressed people breaking into her clan's residence, the girl forced herself to remind them:
"This place has been abandoned for a long time, and there are no valuable items here."
"Nine Nether's monsters have already caught up to us. If you don't want to die, leave now."
After saying that, the black-haired, red-eyed girl fell to the ground as if exhausted, and even the sword in her hand fell out of her hand with a clang.
Without hesitation, considering the other party's friendly attitude, Ming Yue walked up to the short girl and helped her up.
But then, when he looked at the broad-bladed sword with the sun, moon, mountains and rivers printed on the front, a strange yet familiar aura slowly emanated from the sword.
Just as Mingyue was pondering why this long sword could emit Honkai energy, Hua, standing beside him, was genuinely confused:
She didn't understand why people from another world could speak the common language of her own world.
Or is it that this world is not actually a different world, but just a remote mountain forest in the original world?
"If you don't leave now, it will be too late."
The girl let the strange young man in front of her help her up. After giving him a final reminder, she was exhausted from her previous desperate run.
Leaning against his chest, she looked up at Ming Yue, a man so heroic and unlike any other ordinary person, and suddenly had an immature guess:
My father once mentioned that China is a vast country with countless immortals hidden in the mountains and rivers.
Could it be that the person in front of me is some immortal with great magical powers?
There was no time to worry about the language problem of the strange girl in front of him. Hua suddenly heard a burst of violent footsteps coming from outside the village.
Looking around, she saw:
A group of Honkai beasts that looked like wild boars grunted as they walked towards the gate.
"Brother, there's something going on outside!"
At this moment, even without Hua's reminder, Ming Yue could hear the roar of the Honkai Beast.
Looking at the strange girl covered in scars, he finally understood:
Why is the other party so embarrassed?
Not to mention a little guy with a sword, even a group of strong men would be defeated when facing dozens of low-level Honkai beasts.
"Help me watch her."
Handing the short man in his arms to Hua, Mingyue slowly walked forward and headed towards the Honkai Beast.
As the Youxiong girl stared at him with wide eyes, he waved his hand and summoned the long sword on the ground into his palm.
After injecting his own Honkai energy into the sword, Ming Yue discovered as expected:
This thing is a divine key forged by a previous civilization!
At the same time as he activated the Key of God, the grinning Honkai beasts seemed to sense the danger and launched a charge together.
Seeing dozens of monsters as big as tanks coming towards them, the girl from the Huahe Youxiong clan behind Ming Yue suddenly took a breath.
At this moment, their brains were empty due to tension, and they were in fear dominated by memories.
