When the white light gradually appeared in the sky, the vast desert once again welcomed a silent vitality.
The wind and sand howled, and the clouds moved along with it. The sky was dyed a pale green color, which did not match the yellow gravel.
Last night, Jialuo joined the team and suggested that they find a place to rest.
After all, the dark night and the ominous atmosphere really made people mentally exhausted. They indeed needed to rest.
Therefore, Hua Mulan agreed.
Their luck was very good. After walking for a short while, they discovered a village where the border residents gathered. After the border residents learned that they were the Great Wall Guards, they generously welcomed them and prepared a sumptuous dinner and warm accommodation for them.
Perhaps it was because of the cold, Lu Yu walked out of his room early in the morning, wanting to embrace the warmth of the morning sun.
However, the temperature in the desert was still cold in the morning. Even the rising sun could not warm the entire desert with its heat.
"Eh, Jialuo?"
Lu Yu thought that he was the first one to wake up. When he looked at the endless desert, he saw a lonely figure standing in the wind and sand.
When he heard someone calling his name, he turned his head slightly and saw Jialuo's face.
"Aren't you cold?"
Lu Yu asked. Unlike Hua Mulan and the others, Jialuo did not have a strong body. With such a soft and delicate body like a willow leaf, even if he was facing a sandstorm, he seemed to have the risk of being suddenly swept up.
"Whenever I look at my hometown, it doesn't matter if it's cold or hot.”
Jialuo smiled faintly. His cold and noble eyes flashed.
"Is the direction you are looking in the Thousand Caves City?”
Lu Yu scratched his head. He felt that in front of Jialuo, even a slight smile from her was enough to topple a country. She was like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world. He could not help but feel ashamed.
Moreover, her voice was as beautiful as the spring water, seeping into one's heart. It was like the sound of an immortal in the sky, moving and pleasant to the ears.
However, at the mention of the Thousand Caves City, Lu Yu suddenly remembered that the Thousand Caves City was already in ruins.
"A thousand caves for protection, peace without worry. Although the Thousand Caves City was only a pile of scorched earth now, the soul of his hometown and the civilization it contained would live forever.”
There seemed to be no special expression on Jialuo's face, but Lu Yu could guess from her slightly curled eyebrows that Jialuo must be feeling terrible.
He clearly knew that his hometown had already turned into ruins, but his persistence in his hometown was really regrettable.
However, this also proved that Jialuo was a woman with a strong heart.
This was somewhat similar to Hua Mulan.
If it was an ordinary person, they would have collapsed long ago. The memories of their homeland would eventually be destroyed on the path of self-destruction and self-abandonment.
"Lu Yu, where is your hometown?”
Jialuo looked at the Thousand Caves City in the distance again and asked casually.
"My hometown!"
This was the second time someone had asked him about his hometown.
The first time, it was Hua Mulan who asked.
At that time, Lu Yu had yet to find a suitable wording.
"My hometown is the Great Wall."
As if he had found the most suitable answer, Lu Yu smiled and said. He was very satisfied with the answer that suddenly popped into his mind.
As for why he thought of such an answer, it was probably because Hua Mulan's figure appeared in Lu Yu's mind.
"Then what you're protecting now is your hometown. That's great.”
The corner of Jialuo's mouth curled into a bitter smile, but it was soon covered by the yellow sand.
"Lu Yu, Jialuo, what are you doing?”
While Lu Yu and Jialuo were chatting, a loud voice sounded behind them.
"Sister Mulan?"
Lu Yu naturally recognized the owner of the voice and quickly turned around.
Beside him, Jialuo also turned around slowly.
"Jialuo, I didn't have time to introduce you last night. This kid is a new member of our Great Wall Guards, Lu Yu.”
She pulled Lu Yu to her side. Hua Mulan's smile was somewhat unfathomable.
However, Lu Yu could tell that this was not a friendly smile.
"Actually, I've heard rumors about Lu Yu before.”
Jialuo smiled and gently pulled back the purple hair on his forehead.
"He saved you from the demonic seed army and defeated Kai. Lu Yu's strength should be very strong.”
After saying that, Jialuo looked at Lu Yu with her beautiful eyes. She seemed to want Lu Yu to confirm her words.
"Hehe, it's not that powerful.”
After being praised by Jialuo, Lu Yu smiled in embarrassment. However, Hua Mulan's expression did not seem to be very good.
"Let's go, Lu Yu. It's time for breakfast. Also, don't forget my porridge."
......
While they were having breakfast, Lu Yu walked in with a bowl of special porridge. Everyone could not help but be attracted by the mesmerizing fragrance.
"Sister Mulan, please enjoy."
Lu Yu smiled as he gently placed the congee in front of Hua Mulan. He was now very confident in his culinary skills.
"Mmm, it smells so good."
Hua Mulan could not help but sigh again after taking a sniff. A satisfied smile appeared on her face.
The others looked at the meat buns in their hands that were half-chewed and didn't seem to be that fragrant anymore.
"Lu Yu, I didn't expect you to know how to cook.”
When Lu Yu found a place to sit down and was about to eat a meat bun, Jialuo walked over and sat beside him naturally.
"Uh, actually, I learned it from Shouyue.”
Lu Yu scratched his head, feeling a little unnatural.
"Don't be modest. There aren't many boys who know how to cook these days.”
He did not know what his purpose was. Was it because he was testing him? Jialuo's attitude towards him made Lu Yu feel a little closer.
"Lu Yu, why are you sitting so far away? Come and sit beside me. I have something to discuss with you.”
Hua Mulan, who was eating porridge, suddenly stopped eating and said solemnly, but her eyes seemed to be a little erratic.
"Sister Mulan, what's the matter?"
When Lu Yu hurriedly pulled himself out and sat beside Hua Mulan, he realized that Hua Mulan's expression had returned to normal.
"I forgot just now. It's not a big deal anyway. Let's continue eating breakfast.”
She continued to pick up the spoon and continued to eat the porridge as if nothing had happened.
Lu Yu, on the other hand, was dumbfounded.
Why did he feel that Hua Mulan was a little strange today?
