Chapter 167 Strawberry Ice Cream

The sun sets in the west and the dusk clouds are red.

After killing Blackbeard and his gang, as Liu Mu, someone will naturally handle the follow-up matters for him.At the same time as the military achievements rose, many people became more adoring Liu Mu in their hearts.

Liu Mu, on the other hand, held Xitong's mutton-fat jade-like hand, and walked in the town of Marin Fando.

This town is not much different from the towns on other islands. If I have to say it, most of the residents are sailors or their families.

Liu Mu also thought about bringing Li Fei here, but he has been running around all the time, it would be bad for Li Fei to be here.

Now that he is facing Ace's execution, he still doesn't know what Marin Fando will look like afterward. He doesn't want Li Fei to be in such a dangerous situation.

"But I talk on the phone every day and can't see her. I really miss her."

There was a smile on Liu Mu's face, sincere and gentle, like the early sun, seeming to warm people up.

However, Xitong at the side was a little unhappy. She pouted, and her small cherry mouth, which was already delicate and charming, looked even more alluring.She snorted and said, "Brother Amu! Do you really miss that sister Li Fei?"

Almost without thinking, Liu Mu nodded and said, "Yes."

The corners of Xitong's mouth puffed up even more, her eyes rolled around a few times, and she continued, "Do you really want to take her here?"

It was okay not to think about Lifei. When he thought of Lifei, Liu Mu's mind was filled with the latter's graceful appearance.As if he saw Lifei's smile, the curve of Liu Mu's mouth widened a little.He answered again, almost reflexively: "Yes."

Suddenly a sly smile appeared on Xitong's face, and he said, "Then you will agree to eat two strawberry ice creams today, right?"

Thinking of Li Fei's beauty, Liu Mu didn't notice Xitong's thoughtfulness at all, and directly nodded and replied: "Yes."

Now all the unhappiness on Xitong's face dissipated, as if the dark clouds covering the sun dissipated, revealing a bright smile.She laughed and said, "If you promise, you can't go back on your word!"

It was only now that Liu Mu realized that he missed Li Fei too much just now, and fell into Xitong's little trap for a while.

Reluctantly touching the two cute triangular cat ears on Xitong's head, he said in a tone as if he was doting on his sister: "Well, I will eat two today. But I will not allow it in the future. Eating too much is not good for the body. good!"

Xitong who got permission was even happier, her small mouth couldn't close her smile, and she took Liu Mu's hand and ran towards the ice cream shop she frequented.

Being dragged by Xitong, Liu Mu trotted helplessly and said, "Don't worry, the store can't run away."

Under the setting sun, the shadows of the two people stretched very long.

When the people around saw it, they all looked at each other and smiled.

Such a peaceful lieutenant general, except for people of Garp's level, they had only seen Liu Mu.The latter has strength, but treats others calmly and without putting on airs, which naturally makes many people have a good impression of him.

After a while, Liu Mu and Xitong arrived in front of an ice cream shop with cute decorations. However, at this time, a rather young woman was locking the door.

"Mrs. Luke, why is the door closed so early today?"

Xitong likes the strawberry ice cream in this store very much, so Liu Mu often brings her here.The first time he was born, the second time he was acquainted, and he also became acquainted with the proprietress.

The young woman, Luke, was about 25 years old, with brown curly hair hanging down her shoulders and wearing a light blue dress.She was carrying a bag, which was a special bag for ice cream in the store.When she turned her head, there was a trace of lingering anxiety and helplessness between the brows on that delicately dressed face.

When she saw the two of Liu Mu, to be precise, when she saw Xitong, her eyes lit up, and the expression that bloomed in an instant concealed the worry.

"It's the lovely Xitong!" It was obvious that she liked Xitong very much, and even ignored Liu Mu's question for a while.Then she sighed slightly and said, "But there is no strawberry ice cream today."

Hearing this, Xi Tong, who was originally full of interest and joy, was suddenly a little depressed. She looked up at Liu Mu, her eager eyes looked very cute.

Liu Mu looked at Mrs. Lu Ke puzzledly, at this time, logically speaking, it should still be open.Why is it closed so early today?
Mrs. Lu Ke only thought of Liu Mu at this time, showing an embarrassed expression, holding the bag in front of her with both hands, bending her body slightly and hastily apologized.Then he explained: "The day after tomorrow is the day of the fire fist execution. My family said that he will also participate in the war."

"He said he likes my strawberry ice cream best, so I bring him home every day."

"Tomorrow will not open for the time being, I want to spend time with him."

As she spoke, Mrs. Luke's voice suddenly trembled, as if she was sobbing softly.Her shoulders trembled slightly, and she tried her best to control her voice clearly, and continued: "He also said that this war is huge, and it is possible..."

Covering her mouth, Mrs. Lu Ke looked a little excited, and said intermittently: "It's possible that once you leave, you won't be able to come back."

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Mrs. Luke suddenly raised her head, her eyes were filled with tears, but at this moment, they burst out with hope.

Liu Mu seemed to be her straw, she asked: "By the way, you are a noble lieutenant general, can you..."

At this point, Mrs. Lu Ke lowered her head, as if she was ashamed, but she continued: "Can you cross out Thompson's name?" Thompson is her husband's name.

Looking at Mrs. Lu Ke's appearance, Liu Mu felt as if he had been hit hard in his heart.He suddenly remembered that these characters who used to be just auxiliaries in his eyes are now living, touchable, flesh-and-blood people who have emotions and desire to live!

Sensing the change in Liu Mu's mood, Xitong immediately became obedient and stood beside Liu Mu quietly.As if they are connected with each other, she can instantly turn into a supreme sword and become his arm.

There was an eerie silence.Mrs. Lu Ke also seemed to have vented the pain in her heart. She raised her head again, even though her eyes were still slightly red and swollen, a strong smile appeared on her face.He pretended to be relaxed and said: "Just take me for a joke, Thompson would not agree to it even if he could do it. His dream is to drive out all the pirates! In this kind of war, what can he do?" Is it possible to escape?"

Then she tried her best to put on her usual smile, handed the last bag of strawberry ice cream to Xitong with both hands, and said, "I'll give this to you. Today's one may be the last one for Xitong."

After finishing speaking, she said goodbye to Liu Mu and the two, then turned around.Whispering alone: ​​"If Thompson is gone, I don't need to stay in Marlin Vandor."

Xitong stared blankly at the beautifully wrapped bag in her hand, raised her head and asked Liu Mu in puzzlement: "Brother Amu, what's wrong with Auntie Luke? Is she leaving here?"

Liu Mu paused, and then replied affirmatively: "No, she will not leave here. If you want to eat strawberry ice cream in the future, I will bring you here."

After finishing speaking, Liu Mu rushed to Mrs. Luke who walked not far away and shouted: "Thompson will not become a deserter, but he will never die! Everyone will not die!"

Mrs. Luke stopped suddenly and raised her hands.

Suddenly, she suddenly turned around and bent fiercely towards Liu Mu.Then, as if the emotional outburst could not be suppressed, he sobbed softly and ran towards his home.

This sound also attracted the attention of many other people, and they all looked very excited.These people more or less have people who need to participate in the war at home.At this time, Liu Mu's words were like a shot in the arm, making them feel relieved after being tense for so many days.
