Chapter 856: “No”
Translator: 549690339
That night, everyone stayed in the courtyard house of dachui.
The bald man wasn’t lying. He really had a few jars of fine wine, but Jiang Xiao always felt that the taste was strange. It was said that it was brewed from a kind of food called caokfruit, which was sweet and bitter.
Jiang Xiao had really never drunk such a “sweet and bitter” wine before. When he first took a sip, it had a faint sweet taste that made his lips and teeth feel fragrant. When he tasted it again, the wine in his mouth became a little bitter, which was really difficult to describe.
Perhaps, this was the taste of love.
The two brothers called the bald man “pioneer”, but the bald man called himself “big hammer”, so everyone called him that.
Da Chui was over forty years old this year and was a man of the Central Plains through and through. To everyone’s surprise, da Chui was a member of the mountain shattering Army. However, when asked for his name, da Chui did not reveal it, including how he had entered the strange ball. Da Chui only drank and did not want to mention it.
Hence, the crowd didn’t ask much. During the drinking and chatting, da Chui took the broken stone sword from Jiang Xiao’s back under the repeated request of his golden partner. After looking around, he patted his chest and promised that he would make a giant sword for Jiang Xiao overnight.
Jiang Xiao didn’t stand on ceremony and simply said,”I’m a dual-wielding pract.i.tioner,” which made da Chui slightly stunned. He then laughed heartily and expressed that he had no problem with it. He even invited Jiang Xiao to take a look at his forging skills after the meal.
It was indeed an eye-opener for Jiang Xiao. The fire, water, and wind Star techniques of the sledgehammer were simply seamless. He held the iron hammer in one hand and struck it with it, causing Jiang Xiao to be dumbfounded.
There were really all kinds of people.
This fellow was also a man of few words. Not only did Jiang Xiao attend the blacksmithing cla.s.s, but he also made up for his Chinese ...
The forging technique of the sledgehammer was far more skillful than Jiang Xiao had imagined. It could be said to be perfect.
In the early hours of the morning, Jiang Xiao returned to his room with the two giant swords in his hands. Without the support of his star techniques, he had no idea when the two swords would be completed.
......
Jiang Xiao and his team were arranged to stay in the East Room. There were two bedrooms on the left and right, and there was a small living room in front of the room. Jiang Xiao and he Yun stayed in the bedroom on the left, while the blind girl stayed in the bedroom on the right.
When Jiang Xiao returned to his room, He Yun had already fallen asleep. He carefully placed the giant sword on his bed and touched the blade with his fingers while sighing in his heart.
It looked very sharp! When he was cutting the metal just now, it was very clean and efficient!
It was a pity that Jiang Xiao didn’t have long hair and the sledgehammer was bald. Otherwise, he would have blown his hair and tried the giant sword.
“What?” Jiang Xiao was looking at his new equipment in the room and with the help of his STAR technique perception, he sensed someone standing at the door.
Jiang Xiao put down the sword and walked over. He pushed the door open, only to see that the blind girl was standing at the door silently.
It’s so late at night, yet you’re wearing a white robe and your long hair is fluttering in the wind.
The blind girl slowly turned around, walked past the small hall, and walked towards the courtyard.
Jiang Xiao scratched his head and hesitated for a moment before following after her.
The blind girl stood in the middle of the courtyard, raising her head to “look” at the bright moon in the sky. She looked like she had left the world behind and was about to ascend to the heavens.
“Mm ...” Jiang Xiao pondered for a moment. He had seen a lot of people and heard a lot of news since he came to the paG.o.da city today. Ever since their conversation was interrupted at the city wall, they had not spoken again.
“How did he die?” Her voice was very light and soft.
Although her tone was still very calm, her actions had already expressed her inner feelings.
It could be seen that she did not care about anything, nor was she a blind, deaf, and deaf person who had transcended the world.
Jiang Xiao remained silent.
He was not sure if it would be a greater blow to her if he told her how Yiwei had died.
Jiang Xiao thought about it again and again and decided to answer the question in another way. He said,””There’s an organization on earth called planet Hua. A person who wanted to join the planet Hua organization used one tail as a token of his loyalty and a.s.sa.s.sinated one Wei.”
The blind girl mumbled the word softly,””Hua Xing.”
Jiang Xiao nodded and said,’yes, Hua Xing.’
Immediately, Jiang Xiao comforted her.”If it can make you feel better, I want to tell you that Sophia is already dead.” Second last’s way of executing him was very cruel. ”
“It’s like her style,”the blind girl said calmly.
Jiang Xiao said,”I’ve killed the official member of the planet transformation organization who gave Sophia the a.s.sessment mission. If it can give you some comfort, I’d like to say ...” My methods are even crueler than second last ‘s. ”
Upon hearing her words, the blind girl slowly lowered her head and turned around to “look” at Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao grinned and said,””I don’t lie.”
The blind girl silently “looked” at Jiang Xiao. After more than ten seconds, she nodded gently and said,””Xu Li is my superior and my comrade. To me, he’s more like an elder brother. Jiang Xiao, I owe you one. ”
“You guys really are a team.” Jiang Xiao shook his head with a smile and said,”second last used to say the same thing to me. But there’s no such thing as owing, I’m also a member of the tail feathers team. ”
The blind girl was silent for a while.”You said that second last always takes you to that barbecue shop.” She then said.
“Yes,” Jiang Xiao said.
“This doesn’t seem like her style,” the blind girl said.
Jiang Xiao was speechless.
“She’s not the kind of person who will understand me,”the blind girl said.
Jiang Xiao looked at the blind girl and said,””The truth is right there. Some people are just cold on the surface, smelly and hard, but maybe they are soft on the inside.”
Hearing this, the blind girl fell silent.
The two of them stood quietly in the courtyard as time pa.s.sed by.
Jiang Xiao looked up at the bright moon in the night sky and was at a loss for words.
The blind girl’s faint voice came again.”Four tails ...”
“Ha.” Jiang Xiao rubbed his buzz cut and said,”he’s been expelled from the military. After so many years, he’s already gotten over it and has his own family and life. Let’s turn over a new leaf, third last.”
The blind girl pursed her lips and lowered her head.
In the past, the tail feathers team had really been on the run and left to their own fate.
The four of them had actually walked four different paths. Their fates were also so different.
“You said that you are the bait and your real body is on earth, right?” The blind girl lowered her head and spoke softly.
Jiang Xiao agreed.
“Don’t mention me to him,”blind girl said.
Jiang Xiao said,”don’t worry, third last. I won ‘t.”
Blind girl: “why do you still recognize my codename? I’ve let everyone down.”
Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and said slowly,””There are many things that can be produced under pressure. Some people will be submissive, while others will be obedient children for the rest of their lives, living under the scrutiny and expectations of others.
There will always be some people who can’t be suppressed. One day, they will be loyal to me. ”
In the White robe, the blind girl’s slender hands clenched into fists, and her voice trembled.””I broke the rules and left the team without permission.”
Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said,”that’s not what Yiwei said. He said that he didn’t get a better understanding of your inner state.” He said,”you’re finally going to pursue your own life.””
The blind girl covered her eyes with one hand, as well as the long-stained cloth.
Jiang Xiao said,”when I first saw you, I realized that you looked very similar to a girl. Later on, I found out that you weren’t really cold. You’ve just shut yourself up.”
Come to think of it, if you really didn’t care about others, how could you have walked down such a path since you were young?
Xu Li said,”you shouldn’t have entered a military school, but your college entrance examination aspirations were changed by the school without permission.”
He said,”you shouldn’t have joined the night guard in your first year, you shouldn’t have joined the light-chasing Regiment, and you shouldn’t have joined the tail feather team. However, under the repeated requests of your parents, you agreed to the Army’s call, joined the Army, and accepted all the arrangements.”
He said,”you’re a very opinionated person, but the first half of your life was lived in conflict.”
He also said,”you are an extremely qualified soldier. You are quiet and follow your orders. But one day, this good girl finally broke down at the age of 24.”
He said that you want to see the mountains that you have never seen before and cross the seas that you have never seen before. ”
This time, dark tears did not flow down the cloth, but flowed out from the palm that covered her eyes tightly. She squatted down and was already sobbing.
“He’s always the one talking, now it’s your turn. ” Jiang Xiao leaned forward slightly and pressed a hand on her shoulder before asking softly,”do these mountains and seas look good?”
The blind girl squatted on the ground and covered her eyes with one hand. Thick black tears flowed through the gaps of her fingers as she kept nodding.
“That’s enough. That’s enough. ” Jiang Xiao gently patted the blind girl’s shoulder and said,”that’s enough.”
Jiang Xiao had heard two versions of third last, one from first last and the other from second last.
Obviously, Jiang Xiao would prefer the first version.
At the same time, in second last’s ruins of calamity at the Beijiang Fen city military base.
Jiang Xiao slowly got up from the ground and looked at second last, who was sweating profusely on the treadmill not far away.
Jiang Xiao strode towards the treadmill and picked up a bottle of mineral water from the ground before handing it over.
Second last took the mineral water and asked,”why aren’t you sleeping? do you want to train?”
Jiang Xiao supported himself on the support frame in front of the treadmill with one hand and said,””I found a person in the strange ball.”
“Yes.” Second last did not drink the water and instead unscrewed the bottle cap and poured the water on her head. She then slowed down and said,”ask for his ident.i.ty and what he wishes for. See if we can help him.”
Second last was very a.s.sured of Jiang Xiao’s abilities because he had done a better job than her and had been persevering.
Jiang Xiao said,”I’ve always thought that she was a cold and indifferent girl. I only know now that she’s just shutting herself up.” As it turns out, she’s very emotional and her heart is terrifyingly soft. ”
Second last frowned slightly and looked down at Jiang Xiao.
She could tell that he was not in a good mood. Second last slowly stopped in her tracks, got off the treadmill, and stopped training temporarily.
She bent down to pick up a bottle of mineral water and took a few big gulps. She then wiped her mouth and looked down at Jiang Xiao, indicating that she was listening carefully.
“I found third last,” Jiang Xiao said.
Second last looked at Jiang Xiao in shock and was at a loss for words.
“Yu Qiuci,” Jiang Xiao said.
“She ... She’s fine ... She ...” Second last’s words were intermittent and in the end, she didn’t manage to complete a sentence. She had already recovered from her shock.
She returned to her expressionless self, threw away the mineral water, and stepped on the treadmill again.
Jiang Xiao looked at the soldier in front of him, who was in an abnormal mood. For a moment, he couldn’t tell what kind of fluctuations she had experienced in her heart in just over ten seconds.
“Is there anything you want to ask her?” Jiang Xiao asked tentatively.”Is there anything you want to tell her?”
Second last’s voice was low and hoa.r.s.e, and she said in an unusually short tone,””No, I didn ‘t,”
......
Beside the treadmill in the calamity shadow s.p.a.ce, Jiang Xiao looked up at second last silently.
In front of the courtyard of yinggu PaG.o.da city, Jiang Xiao pressed his hand on the blind girl’s shoulder and gently shook it.
In the bamboo hat forest of the world of calamity and shadows, Jiang Xiao was holding a sea soul lamp on top of a huge tree. The exquisite treehouse in front of him had already been pieced together halfway, but the entangled branches were slowly coming to a stop.
In the room of the hotel in the capital, Jiang Xiao was lying on the bed and listening to Gu s.h.i.+ ‘an’s snores. He turned over and looked at the white wall ...
The four Jiang xiaos heaved a deep sigh at the same time.
You clearly wanted to ask ‘is she okay’, but why did it end up with ‘no’...
