Chapter 124 Want to go home
Chapter 124 Want to go home
It was getting dark.
The team, which had just experienced tragic casualties, was now silent, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Many innocent people were killed, and even more were seriously injured. The team, which originally had nearly 2,000 people, lost more than one-third of its troops.
The losses were not unbearable.
But if you look at it from a bystander's perspective, Yuqing Village suffered even greater losses. Those lackeys of the aristocratic families who slaughtered the people were all beheaded. The people who cleaned up the battlefield reported a total of 172 corpses.
One hundred and seventy-two martial arts masters were defeated one by one by them. At least up to now, more than an hour has passed and no new opponents have appeared.
Perhaps, everything has been resolved?
Su Chengnan shook her head silently, and she rejected this possibility in her heart.
The private salt land was a gold mine of endless wealth. In times of turmoil, salt was an important military ration. If she owned such a gold mine, she would definitely treasure it and protect it with all her might.
Therefore, there must be someone inside or near Yuqing Village waiting for an opportunity to strike. Now they are in the open, and the other party is in the dark, it is really hard to say who will win, and the situation may change at any time.
She was on pins and needles and couldn't feel at ease.
Seeing that she looked worried, Lu Chaofeng poured her a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of her.
"Drink some hot water to warm yourself up."
"Okay, thank you."
She came back to her senses and reached out to take it. The slightly hot cup gradually made her cold fingers feel the touch.
Longjing tea is added to the water, and it is filled with fragrance.
She lowered her head and took a deep sniff. Her stomach growled and she suddenly felt hungry.
"We have pancakes, do you want some?" Lu Chaofeng asked.
"it is good."
Lu Chaofeng took out a handkerchief from his arms, which contained two yellow cakes. He broke off half of it and handed it over.
She took the heavy pancake and felt it was like a stone, too hard, but not very cold.
Su Linhua had been guarding the door of Han's carriage. She felt that she should do something more for her original body. In fact, it was also to alleviate the guilt in her heart. Since the accident, she had not entered the space or eaten or drunk anything.
Su Chengnan turned to look at her, said a few words to the others, then got up and left the fire.
Everything had been discussed. As long as nothing happened tonight, it would be easy to handle tomorrow. As for the rest, she couldn't help much, so she left it to them.
"Is it cold?"
"not cold."
Su Linhua's tone was melancholy and she was in a very low mood.
"Things in the world are unpredictable, and no one wants them to happen."
"I... I always feel like... I can do better. I really, I..."
As Su Linhua spoke, her speech became incoherent. Tears began to fall, dripping onto her clothes, soaking a large area.
Su Chengnan understood her feelings.
No one could empathize more than her.
They are each other's only real support in this world.
"I want to go home."
"I want to go back."
Su Linhua's voice was soft, but Su Chengnan heard it clearly. These two words struck her heart, as if the earth was shaking and huge waves were surging.
So many days.
They have been avoiding this issue, and no one has taken the initiative to mention wanting to go back.
This was the first time Lin Hua said this.
She didn't know if she would say it again in the future.
Chen Nan was a little panicked.
But what right does she have to stop Lin Hua from saying this?
She didn't, and she didn't want to go back.
So she fell silent.
"This place is full of rules. We finally got along well and developed some feelings, but now we're fighting again."
"One wave after another comes, it's so hard to live."
"Obviously, we only need to be careful of the Queen Mother, but how did the situation become like this? There are refugees and people who want to kill us for no reason. Where can we go to be safe?"
"It's too messy here. I really want to go home."
"I want peace!"
Su Linhua's words became more and more confused, and her emotions fluctuated more and more. Words like "peace" popped out of her mouth. She was afraid that she would spill the beans and say something that would make countless people here suspicious.
Oh, yes, who doesn’t miss it.
Modern society is good in every way: peaceful, democratic, friendly, open, and superior in every way. How could there be refugees due to war? Not to mention the idea of aristocratic families establishing illegal salt farms!
She had no good way to comfort Lin Hua, so she could only use her ultimate move and silently took out a Snickers bar from the space.
He opened the package in his sleeve, broke off a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, and silently put half of it into his own mouth.
The rich chocolate flavor melts on the tip of your tongue, and the sweet taste instantly hits you. When you are feeling down, eating something sweet is the best way to heal.
Lin Hua chewed a few times, licked his lips, and looked over sideways. "I want more. Any more?"
Su Chengnan smiled, "Yes!"
She handed her the remaining piece and comforted her: "Life must go on. We will fight side by side together. We are not afraid of the future."
Lin Hua ate his Snickers in silence. After a long pause, he asked, "Will the future really be safe? A life without worries?"
Su Chengnan turned sideways, looked into her eyes seriously, and said solemnly: "I promise you that I will do my best to make our future worry-free."
Lin Hua was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into tears.
She threw herself into Su Chengnan's arms and sobbed softly, "Sister, am I useless? I can't do anything, and I have to distract you to comfort me. I..."
Su Chengnan patted her shoulder and smiled at her softly: "You are very useful. You are my most trustworthy partner in this world and the only person I can trust with my back."
"Besides, we're on the road now. There will definitely be opportunities to display your talents in the future. Have you forgotten the business talent and culinary skills you demonstrated in the villa? You're like a culinary god descended to earth. So beautiful..."
"Really? Hahaha, that seems to be the case."
Lin Hua returned to normal, transformed himself, and continued to be Su Linhua, living a down-to-earth life in this world.
The two sisters held chocolates in their mouths, stood shoulder to shoulder, heads leaning against each other, and looked up at the stars in the sky together.
At this moment, Lu Chaofeng was sitting not far away watching the two of them, feeling inexplicably uneasy...
He always felt that he couldn't see through Su Chengnan, and although she was often frank with him, that frankness was based on a cooperative relationship, and she... had not completely opened her heart to him.
The state in which the two sisters talked was something that Su Chengnan never had when she was with anyone else.
It was as if there was an invisible wall separating them from everyone else. No one could get in, and she had no intention of coming out.
He is not satisfied.
For the first time, he became competitive with a woman.
……
At this time, A Shun came over hurriedly.
His words interrupted Lu Chaofeng's sight and thoughts.
"My Lord, I've discovered something! Those people might be hiding in..."
