Journey to the Rose

Overwhelmed, Ruan Xi was a little taken aback.

Why is Lu Zhenghe calling mom now?

Obviously not married!

The fog surrounds a thin screen, and it gathers and disperses again because of the wind blowing Buddha.

Ruan Xi leaned closer to Lu Zhenghe subconsciously, trying to find the other's temperature in the chaos.

He didn't speak, Lu Zhenghe directly reached out to pat him on the back, holding Ruan Xi's back by the collar, the two of them knelt down on the soft alpine meadow in front of the tombstone with a "plop".

Lu Zhenghe was honest, put his palms together, closed his eyes, and was about to start the standard salute and kneel down.

Ruan Xi stared at him.

This man had bandages on his arms and was dressed in a camouflage military uniform. His brows were filled with the smell of blood after a fight. Now he had a serious face, and those who didn't know thought he was visiting his comrades.

Ruan Xi suddenly didn't know what kind of heart Lu Zhenghe used to call out that "Mom".

Because in Ruan Xi's memory, Lu Zhenghe didn't have a biological mother, and Wei Hong didn't have a good relationship after leaving Wei's house a year ago, so naturally he wouldn't get close to Wei Hong's biological mother.In a sense, the word was just a stiff title for him.

Opening it quietly, he looked at Lu Zhenghe, who was seriously meditating beside him, and wanted to know what the other party was talking about.

"What are you doing peeking at?" Lu Zhenghe opened one and glanced at him: "Aren't you going to tell her what's going on?"

Shaking her head, Ruan Xi looked up at the sky and said, "I think she has been watching from the sky."

Lu Zhenghe followed his movements and looked towards the sky, and said in a deep voice, "Will every mother who passed away watch her child?"

"Yes. They will also be proud, sad, and worried." After speaking, Ruan Xi felt her nose sore, and when she opened her eyes again, there was a vast expanse, and tears fell from the corners, and she quickly wiped them away.

After the memorial ceremony, Ruan Xi stood still, her eyes fell on the neatly arranged cigarettes in front of the tombstone...

Leave some of the cigarettes and alcohol with the wedding here, so it's considered her passing.

Lu Zhenghe had already circled behind the tombstone, squatted down, carefully brushed off the dust that fell on the small stone box, and said, "The box is not heavy, so you don't want to take it away?"

"I don't think so," Ruan Xi shook her head, thought for a few seconds, and continued: "The fallen leaves return to their roots, her final destination should be here."

"But once the ground fission comes, the cemetery and Xanadu city will cease to exist." Lu Zhenghe reminded him kindly.

"She won't care about this." Ruan Xi frowned, her voice was very soft, "She just wants to stay here."

"Don't you really need to take it away?" Lu Zhenghe confirmed again.

"Yeah." Ruan Xi could recall that rainy night more than ten years ago after closing her eyes for a while.

The mother's urn was sent away on a rainy night. He was young at the time, and he didn't know whether he would be buried in the local area. He cried in the middle of the night and saw the convoy at the gate of the Ruan's Manor by the window, slowly heading out of the city. .Ruan Xi stepped on her slippers and rushed downstairs, but couldn't catch up.

It has been more than ten years since he left, and he has never had the opportunity to visit his mother's grave in such a far place, let alone dreamed of her again.

Lu Zhenghe understood, and stopped persuading him.

Wiping the dust on the small stone box again, Lu Zhenghe's eyes suddenly fell on the back of the tombstone, which was the trace of being chiseled.He thought of the mysterious symbol that he didn't see clearly when he came here, and walked quickly around to the tombstone, getting closer to see it clearly.

is a mirror-like symbol.

Lu Zhenghe narrowed his eyes, and his tone became low: "I saw a symbol... Is your mother related to the legendary god?"

"I don't know. I only know that when she married to Ablaze City, it was rumored that she was born in a rising bubble." Ruan Xi replied.

"So you will be said to be the pearl born in the Sea God's Palace in the future? You will be contended for by various places?" Lu Zhenghe raised the end of his voice.

Ruan Xi felt embarrassed when those shameful nicknames were mentioned, and retorted: "Those people made them up."

"It's possible that it wasn't made up because these coincidences do exist."

As Lu Zhenghe said, he touched the deeply engraved symbols on the tombstone with his fingers. It didn't look like a random chisel, but was made by a craftsman."That's the sign of the goddess of love and beauty, representing Venus," he said.

·

Tomb-sweeping is finished after sunrise at noon.

The sun in the north is warm, and the fog has receded a lot compared with the morning, and the water droplets with brilliance shone and fell from the treetops.

Ruan Xi and Lu Zhenghe walked out of the deserted cemetery, and saw a row of very familiar armored vehicles, lined up in a neat line, parked on the side of the road and waited.

Seeing Lu Zhenghe approaching, Bo Yang jumped out of the driver's seat first, walking towards him with the gun slanted across his shoulder blade.

As soon as he left, his fighters stopped moving. They stood neatly in line beside the armored vehicles, holding guns in their hands, and locked their eyes on Lu Zhenghe, waiting for him respectfully.

Ruan Xi was taken aback, and looked at Lu Zhenghe.

you called?

Lu Zhenghe shook his head slightly, and stepped forward to meet him.

"Why are you here?" Lu Zhenghe frowned.

"Young master," Bo Yang nodded slightly, and replied, "You guys have almost had a rest. I thought that there would be no delay on the way, and I should rush to the snow mountain as soon as possible, so..."

But they came to this place without telling anyone.Even before departure, Lu Zhenghe just told Wen Kai that he needed to leave for two hours, and then he came.

Ruan Xi narrowed his eyes and said in an unhappy tone, "You investigate."

Hearing this, Bo Yang didn't hesitate at all, but admitted it very generously, nodded again, and said, "I've offended you."

These three words stuck in Ruan Xi's heart, and he couldn't vent his anger.

The cemetery is a quiet place. It should not have been cleaned by anyone who is not related to him. Now a row of armored vehicles are parked next to it, which conflicts with the quiet atmosphere here.

Judging from the style and scale of the tombstone, Ruan Xi's biological mother should have a considerable status in the local area, and it is not difficult to find a way to understand these geographical locations.Ruan Ximing and Bo Yang, as Lu Zhenghe's confidants, know these things too much, but he just feels uncomfortable and doesn't like being beaten like this.

"Forget it, let's get in the car." Ruan Xi waved his hand, turned and walked towards the armored car where Wen Kai was, his clothes arcing in the air.

After getting into the car, Ruan Xi let out a long breath.

Lu Zhenghe also sat up.

The atmosphere in the car was rather strange, because Wen Kai and Li Shen didn't speak, neither seemed to pay attention to the other, but simply greeted each other: "Young Master, Ruan Xi."

Ruan Xi glanced over, and found that the two men did not look at each other, but looked straight ahead, as if they were new comrades-in-arms, without any distinction at all.

Isn't it, arguing... just because of that thing in the morning?

Thinking about it, Ruan Xi felt that Wen Kai should really be angry.Li Shen has always been a straight-talking person, why did he become duplicity at a critical moment!Moreover, Ruan Xi herself dislikes the word "dog licking" very much, and always feels it is very disrespectful.

I just don't know whether Wen Kai will hold grudges.

But judging from the current situation, he should be a master at holding grudges.

Lu Zhenghe whispered: "Well, let's go."

After he finished speaking, he adjusted the heavy weapon belt around his waist and stowed the small dagger placed on the armrest box.

I remember that when he set off, he had everything in his belt, including bank cards, toilet paper, a stack of false IDs to disguise his identity, an infrared camera for spotting people, and an occasional one that he didn’t use very much. pistol.

Ruan Xi's suitcase is even more interesting, with or without a blade, night vision goggles, scabbard protective cloth, portable perfume, facial cleanser...

Although the perfume has not been sprayed much.Lu Zhenghe is even more obsessed with the smell that Ruan Xi carries.

The vehicle began to move rapidly through the thick fog.

Because the fog was too heavy, all the armored vehicles turned on their searchlights. The sharp arrows of the lights pierced through the layers of fog ahead, and also provided convenience for some of his surviving vehicles.

Once the steel bridge over that canyon collapsed and the valley burst open, no cars or people would be able to come north.The rest are the last group of people who are about to reach Zenith City.

"Bo Yang..."

Ruan Xi suddenly spoke out, the crisp voice was especially obvious in the roar of the armored vehicle's shaking engine, "Has he always been like this?"

Lu Zhenghe nodded, "Yes. What's wrong?"

Ruan Xi saw that Li Shen in the front seat was also nodding frantically, and the back of the front seat was shaking due to the shock.When he smiled like this, Wen Kai turned his head slightly, as if looking at him, and he felt as if he had been stabbed, and dared not move again.

Trying to hold back the smile on the corner of her lips, Ruan Xi continued to say sadly: "I think he is a bit exaggerated to you." How can anyone be so strict with his immediate boss?But Ruan Xi didn't say the last sentence, because he felt a little jealous.

Lu Zhenghe still nodded: "Indeed."

really?

Isn't this word perfunctory!

Li Shen added fuel to the fire in the front: "I also think so. Ruan Xi, let me tell you, Boyang has always been like this. He takes care of everything. It is true that he should take care of internal affairs, but it is not like this. I feel like everyone in Lulu wants to kill the young master except him..."

"Indeed!" Ruan Xi had no choice but to praise Li Shen's statement in a perfunctory way, and then shifted the firepower to Lu Zhenghe, "Don't you think he treated you too much?"

Lu Zhenghe closed his eyes and meditated: "Why does it smell a little sour?"

"Don't pretend to be dead." Ruan Xi leaned on him, stretched out her hand to peel off Lu Zhenghe's skin, "tell me clearly."

During the conversation, we passed a long mountain climbing road.

It was already afternoon, the fog gradually cleared, and the vehicle stopped smoothly on the side of the road.

"It's convenient to get off the car."

Li Shen frantically hung the gun on his back, let go of the steering wheel, and stepped on the pedals to get out of the car, but saw Wen Kai in the co-pilot next to him motionless, coughed a few times, and patted the seat vigorously, until the leather The seat slammed, causing Wen Kai's ears to turn red, and he turned to look at him with wide eyes: Are you sick?

Li Shen frowned: "You are with me."

Ruan Xi was in the back seat, three question marks popped up again:? ? ?

Taking a breath, Wen Kai seemed to see Li Shenli's meaning——

Just now the young master kicked the back of the seat, he must have something to tell Ruan Xi clearly, just take a little time to get out of the car and pretend to be urgent to urinate and pretend to have a flat tire.

Wen Kai: "..."

He didn't react, he was already dragged out of the car by Li Shen who came around to the car door.
