Doomsday Totem

Chapter 489 Farewell
When the meeting in Chifeng Fortress ended, Mu Yulinglan returned to the Temple of Prayer for Rain.

"Your boyfriend prepared a gift for you." In the side hall, Mu Yulinglan put a small package on the table and said to her sister.

"No way, that bug is so careful." Mu Yuqin said with a puzzled look, turning her head to the side.

"I will tell the truth about your reaction at this moment." Mu Yulinglan said seriously.

"Huh~" Mu Yuqin snorted softly, gave her a glance, then turned around, looked at the package wrapped in a red plastic bag with her hands crossed, and said nonchalantly, "Why does it look so low-grade~" Although She said so on her lips, but her eyes were full of splendor. Anyone could see that she was feeling sweet in her heart at the moment.

"If you don't want it, I'll throw it away." Mu Yu Linglan said expressionlessly.

"What do you want~" Mu Yuqin said hastily.

After a few minutes...

"What is this? It looks so strange~" Mu Yuqin murmured to Mu Yulinglan as she looked at a table of brick-like candies wrapped in red paper.

At this moment, the priest praying for rain had just finished taking a bath and came back after changing into clean clothes. His whole body exuded a faint fragrance.She stepped forward to take a look and recognized it immediately.

In an instant, her eyes froze, and her memory seemed to return to the distant past...

"Is it tasty?"

In that rusty alley full of steel rubbish, he was wearing shabby but neat clothes, leaning against the wall, with his hands crossed, and asked her who was crouching on the ground and devouring her food.

"Hmm~" She raised her dirty little face and kept nodding her head.

"Eat slowly, don't choke, old man Tie said, it's shameful for a guy who chokes to death while eating," he said.

"Well~" "When I make money in the future, I will buy you a lot of brown candies, and put them in a truck. You can't eat them all." "Then...then I will help you drive, okay?" Okay?" "No, you just need to be in charge of eating." "Okay~" "But don't be overwhelmed, the old man said, it's not decent for a guy who is overwhelmed by eating..."

A moment later, in the dining room of the Temple of Prayer for Rain, an old nun over fifty years old lit a candle.Afterwards, the two sisters walked in slowly and sat across the long table facing each other.

The table is covered with clean white tablecloths, flowers and bamboo baskets. The delicate dishes reflect the flickering candlelight, and the silver knives and forks are radiant and dotted among them, just like the world in the oil painting.

At this moment, an exquisite dinner plate was placed in front of them. The edge of the white porcelain was painted with gold and painted phoenixes, shining brilliantly, obviously it was not ordinary high-end.However, in this immaculate, noble and luxurious plate, there is a black thing that looks like a lime-sand brick.

"Thanks to the God of Rain, who gave us delicious food when we were hungry, and warm fire when we were cold..." Mu Yulinglan clasped her hands together, lowered her head, and prayed softly.

"Praise the Rain God, for bestowing great wisdom when we felt at a loss." Mu Yuqin prayed heartily.

"May the brilliance of the gods shine on our journey forward, Xi Na..." Mu Yulinglan prayed in a low voice. The last note "Xi Na" means "I hope so" in the ancient language of the Western Continent.

"Hey..." Mu Yuqin said in unison, then raised her head, ending today's pre-meal prayer.

"Uh...how should I eat it?" Mu Yuqin held a knife and fork in her heart and looked at the brown candies on the plate, feeling a little worried.Looking up, she saw Mu Yulinglan holding a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, sawing off a small piece gently and putting it in her mouth.

Mu Yuqin was about to follow suit, but when she lowered her head for a moment, she found that Mu Yulinglan's eyes were glistening with tears.She was startled suddenly, and her whole body froze.From the time she could remember, except for the time when her adoptive mother died, she had never seen her sister shed a single tear.She is so strong and calm, like a lake that has not changed for thousands of years, a glacier that has not changed for thousands of years.

However, it is precisely because of this coldness and indifference that she and her sisters feel at home in this dark and gloomy world.That is their most solid backing, the safest barrier.

"Sister..." Mu Yuqin left her seat, came to Mu Yu Linglan, and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"

"I..." It took a while for Mu Yu Linglan to come back to her senses, and then she tightly grasped Mu Yuqin's hand, trying to comfort her, but she couldn't say anything.

"It's all the fault of that bug, it made my sister cry, it's so bad! It's necrotic!" Mu Yuqin scolded through gritted teeth, making her sister cry is a hundred times, a thousand times worse than making her cry.

"No... don't blame him, it has nothing to do with him..." Mu Yu Linglan gently stroked her sister's head and said in a low voice.

"Then... what's the matter?" Mu Yuqin's eyes were full of concern. She was her closest relative, an irreplaceable existence, and even that bug couldn't compare to her.

"I...I...I miss my mother..." In the end, Mu Yu Linglan couldn't control her emotions, and she lay down on the table and began to cry.

In the winter of that year, there was heavy snowfall, and the town of Tieshan was completely covered with snow.

In a cold alley, in a small nest built against the corner of the wall, her mother stuffed her with carefully wrapped candies.

"Eat quickly, mom is not hungry." Mother stroked her head and whispered in her ear.

But while she was eating, her mother fell asleep and never woke up again...

Seeing her sister crying, Mu Yuqin let out a "wow" in her heart and started to cry.

And when the two sisters were crying together, the instigator was drinking wine and eating roast beef with Quinn, quite comfortably.If Mu Yuqin saw it, I'm afraid his chest would explode with anger, wishing to peel his skin and constrict his tendons on the spot.

At the same time, in the auditorium of Chunqiu Heavy Industry in Fengkou Town, figures stood alone.

The arena was silent, with young faces reflected in the faint light of the fire.They are different in height, fat and thin, but they all have the same gaze, resolute and calm.They all carried big canvas bags and big porcelain bowls, like chunks of solid granite.

Kill the chicken, take the blood, and serve the wine.

"From now on, we will no longer be a member of Chunqiu Heavy Industry..."

At the front of the line stood a stout man, holding a bowl and speaking loudly, his deep voice was like the humming of a bell.

"From now on, we will follow in the footsteps of our ancestors, stay away from our homeland, and open up the world!"

"From now on, we will forget the past, our relatives, our friends, and everything we once had..."

"From now on, we will shed blood for an alliance and never regret it!"

"My body is the furnace, my heart is the fire, and I use my blood to forge the sword soul!" Lu Dali held up the rough porcelain bowl and shouted loudly, "Drink!"

"Drink!" What responded to him was a roar like a huge wave.

The strong wine was mixed with warm blood, and he drank it all in one gulp.

"Heaven and Earth are proof!"

"I forge the sword soul with my blood!"

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

After drinking and breaking the cup, the young craftsman walked out of the auditorium and walked to the gate along the familiar path.

After a while, the team walked to the gate.Looking from afar, there were two figures standing under the dim streetlight.

"Old Huang, Old Xue..." After seeing the two of them clearly, Lu Dali quickly stepped forward and said, "According to the rules, you are not allowed to see them off."

The two elders looked at each other, then laughed.Then, Mr. Huang stroked his beard and said, "Dali, we're not here to see you off..."

"That's..." Lu Dali said in surprise, but he had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart.

"I'm here to have a meal with you." Huang Lao said with a chuckle.

"You are..." As he spoke, Lu Dali's voice choked up.

"Children, you are still young and need us, come on, let's go!" Old Xue patted Lu Dali on the shoulder, then pulled Old Huang along, and walked out the door without looking back.

"En." Looking at the backs of the two elders going away, Lu Dali nodded vigorously.Their technology is not mature enough, and they need the guidance of their predecessors.With Huang Lao and Xue Lao, they can organize production faster and make qualified power armor.

The neat team moved forward slowly, walked out of the gate quietly, walked into the distance, and disappeared on the horizon.

From this moment on, they have nothing to do with Chunqiu Heavy Industry, and even if they are smashed to pieces in the future, they will not bring disaster back.

And when they left, countless figures were standing silently in the distance, watching them off.

One of them, standing on the highest point of the office building, shed hot tears quietly, but was silent.

The wind in early autumn, with a hint of coolness, passed by the corner of the clothes and flew into the distance.

"Friend, please take care." He whispered, but he didn't know that 20 years ago, his friend was also standing here, watching him go.

A man of spring and autumn, an iron-blooded craftsman, will never allow a crying farewell.

Those who left had to leave quietly in the middle of the night, after everyone fell asleep.

The farewell of the brave does not need tears.

No matter where they are, their hearts are connected and will never change.For that unattainable dream, we will work together.

"I have guarded your home for 20 years, it's time for me to go out for a walk." Before leaving, Lu Dali said to him.

"Okay." He answered with only one word, although he wanted to add "no".

"By the way, there is still one thing I haven't settled with you." Lu Dali said suddenly.

"Huh?" He was stunned.

"Didn't you mention that everyone should stop looking for a girlfriend before you come back?" Lu Dali clenched his fists, and the bones rattled.

"Yeah, I always remember." He nodded.

"Then tell me, what happened to that female secretary?" Lu Dali asked.

"Oh..." He raised his head, thought for a while, and then said seriously, "She's not a girlfriend."

"What is that?" Lu Dali looked puzzled.

"Wife." He explained, and then with a "bang", he was punched firmly in the face.

"Brother, I'm sorry." Under the night sky, Qi Yun looked at the distant figure of his friend, and said to himself, "I thought you knew, it was just a joke..."
