Chapter 220

That night, everyone stayed in "Big Hammer's" courtyard.

The bald, burly man hadn't lied; he really did have a few jars of fine wine hidden away. However, Jiang Xiao found the taste rather strange. It was said to be brewed from a food called caoguo (Tsaoko fruit), both sweet and bitter.

Jiang Xiao had truly never tasted such "sweet and bitter" wine before. The first sip brought a faint, sweet fragrance that lingered on the palate, but upon further tasting, the wine became somewhat bitter. It was truly hard to describe the feeling.

Perhaps, this was the taste of love.

The Eagle Falcon brothers respectfully called the bald man "Pioneer," but the bald man called himself "Big Hammer," so that's what everyone called him.

Big Hammer was in his forties, a genuine native of the Central Plains. Unexpectedly, Big Hammer was actually a member of the Broken Mountain Army. However, when asked about his name, Big Hammer refused to reveal it, including how he entered the Alien Ball. Big Hammer only drank wine and didn't want to talk about it.

So, no one asked any more questions. During the drinking and chatting, at Jin Lu's repeated requests, Big Hammer took the broken stone blade that Jiang Xiao carried on his back, looked it over, and patted his chest, promising to make a giant blade for Jiang Xiao overnight.

Jiang Xiao wasn't polite and said, "I'm a dual-blade user," which made Big Hammer slightly stunned. Immediately afterward, he burst into hearty laughter, saying it was no problem. He even invited Jiang Xiao to visit his forging skills after drinking.

Jiang Xiao was indeed an eye-opener. Big Hammer's fire, water, and wind Star Techniques were seamlessly connected. He wielded the iron hammer, clanging and banging, making Jiang Xiao gape in astonishment.

There really were all kinds of people.

This guy was also "a walking encyclopedia." Jiang Xiao not only took a blacksmithing lesson but also brushed up on his language skills…

Big Hammer's forging skills were far more proficient than Jiang Xiao had imagined, reaching a state of perfection.

At dawn, Jiang Xiao happily walked back to his room with two giant blades. Without the support of Star Techniques, who knew when these two blades would have been made.

The Jiang Xiao trio was arranged in the east-side rooms. The left and right rooms were bedrooms, and the small hall was directly in front of the entrance. Jiang Xiao and He Yun lived in the left bedroom, and the blind girl lived alone in the right bedroom.

When Jiang Xiao returned to his room, He Yun was already asleep. He carefully placed the giant blades on his bed, stroking the blade with his fingers, sighing in his heart.

They look very sharp! It was so crisp and clean when they were cutting iron just now!

Unfortunately, Jiang Xiao didn't have long hair, and Big Hammer was bald, otherwise, he really should have blown on some hair to test the giant blades.

"Huh?" Jiang Xiao was examining his new equipment in the room, and under the Perception Star Technique, he felt someone standing at the door.

Jiang Xiao put down the blade, stepped over, opened the door, and saw the blind girl standing silently at the door, not saying a word.

It's late at night, and you're wearing a white robe, your hair is flowing, and you're trying to scare people.

The blind girl slowly turned around, walked through the small hall, and walked towards the courtyard.

Jiang Xiao scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and followed.

The blind girl stood in the center of the courtyard, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, looking like she was independent from the world and about to ascend to immortality.

"Um..." Jiang Xiao pondered for a moment. He had met many people and heard many messages since arriving at this Yegu Pagoda City today. Since their conversation was interrupted at the city wall, they hadn't spoken since.

"How did he die?" Her voice was faint and light.

Although her tone was still calm, her actions had expressed her inner self.

It could be seen that she didn't care about nothing, and wasn't a transcendent deaf-mute person.

Jiang Xiao was silent about this question.

He wasn't sure if telling her how Yiwei died would cause her deeper pain.

Jiang Xiao thought about it and decided to answer the question in another way. He said, "There's an organization on Earth called Hua Xing (Chemical Star). There was someone who wanted to join the Hua Xing organization and used Yiwei as a test to prove his loyalty, so he assassinated Yiwei."

The blind girl lightly chewed on the word: "Hua Xing."

Jiang Xiao nodded: "Yes, Hua Xing."

Immediately, Jiang Xiao comforted her and said, "If it makes you feel any better, I want to tell you that Sophic is dead. And he died very miserably. Erwei's methods of executing Sophic were very cruel."

The blind girl said faintly: "Sounds like her style."

Jiang Xiao said: "The formal member of the Hua Xing organization who issued the assessment task to Sophic was killed by me. If it can bring you any more comfort, I want to say... my methods are more cruel than Erwei's."

Hearing this, the blind girl slowly lowered her head that was looking up at the sky and turned to "look" at Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao grinned, his smile was actually a little unrestrained: "I don't lie."

The blind girl silently "looked" at Jiang Xiao, and after more than ten seconds, she nodded lightly: "Xu Li was my superior and my comrade-in-arms. To me, he was more like an older brother. Jiang Xiao, I owe you one."

"You guys really are on the same team." Jiang Xiao shook his head with a smile and said, "Erwei used to say this to me all the time. But there's no such thing as owing or not owing, I'm also a member of the Yuwei team."

The blind girl was silent for a while, and said, "You said, Erwei always takes you to that barbecue restaurant."

Jiang Xiao: "Yes."

Blind girl: "That doesn't seem like her style."

Jiang Xiao: "......"

Blind girl: "She's not the kind of person who would understand me."

Jiang Xiao stared at the blind girl and said, "The truth is right here. Some people are just cold and stubborn on the surface, maybe their hearts are very soft."

Hearing this, the blind girl fell silent.

The two stood quietly in the courtyard, and time passed by minute by minute.

Jiang Xiao raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the night sky, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

The blind girl's faint voice came again: "Siwei..."

"Heh." Jiang Xiao rubbed his crew cut and said, "He was expelled from the military. After so many years, he has come out of it and has his own family and life. Turn the page, Sanwei."

The blind girl pursed her lips and lowered her head.

The former Yuwei team really had died, fled, and were exiled, each fulfilling their own destiny.

The four people had actually walked four different paths, and each person's fate was so different.

"You said that you are the bait, and your main body is on Earth, right?" The blind girl lowered her head and whispered.

Jiang Xiao: "Hmm."

Blind girl: "Don't mention me to him."

Jiang Xiao: "Don't worry, Sanwei, I won't."

Blind girl: "Why do you still recognize my code name, I have let everyone down."

Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and said slowly, "There are many products under strong pressure. Some people accept it, and some people will be well-behaved children for the rest of their lives, living under the scrutinizing and demanding eyes of others.

There are always some people who cannot be suppressed, and one day, they will be loyal to themselves."

In the white robe, the blind girl's slender hands were clenched into fists, and her voice trembled: "I violated the rules and left the team without authorization."

Jiang Xiao shrugged and said, "Yiwei didn't say that. He said that he failed to better understand your inner dynamics. He said that you finally went to pursue your own life."

The blind girl covered her eyes with one hand, also covering the already stained strips of cloth.

Jiang Xiao said, "When I first saw you, I found that you looked very similar to a girl. Later, I learned that you are not really indifferent, you just closed yourself off.

Think about it, if you really didn't care about others, how could you have walked such a path from childhood to adulthood.

Xu Li said that you shouldn't have been admitted to the military academy, but your college application was changed without authorization by the school.

He said that you shouldn't have joined the Night Watch Army in your freshman year, you shouldn't have joined the Zhuguang Regiment, and you shouldn't have joined the Yuwei Team, but at the repeated requests of your parents, you agreed to the army's call and joined the army and accepted all arrangements.

He said that you are a very thoughtful person, but your first half of your life was lived in contradiction.

He also said, you are a soldier who is qualified to the extreme, silent and obedient, but this good girl finally broke down emotionally one day at the age of 24.

He said, you want to see the mountains you have never seen, and cross the seas you have never seen."

This time, the dark tears did not flow down the strips of cloth, but overflowed from the palms that were tightly covering her eyes, she squatted down, already sobbing.

"It's always been him who said it, now it's your turn to say it." Jiang Xiao bent down slightly, put one hand on her shoulder, and asked softly, "Are these mountains and seas beautiful?"

The blind girl squatted on the ground, covering her eyes with one hand, and thick black tears flowed from her fingers, constantly nodding.

"Enough. Enough." Jiang Xiao patted the blind girl's shoulder gently, "That's enough."

Regarding Sanwei, Jiang Xiao heard two versions, one from Yiwei and one from Erwei.

Obviously, Jiang Xiao hoped it was the first version.

At the same time, in the Huoying Ruins of Erwei in the Beijiang·Fencheng·Military Base.

Jiang Xiao slowly climbed up from the ground and looked at Erwei who was sweating profusely on the treadmill not far away.

Jiang Xiao stepped over, came to the treadmill, picked up a bottle of mineral water from the ground, and handed it over.

Erwei took the mineral water and said, "Why aren't you sleeping? Do you want to practice?"

Jiang Xiao supported the support frame in front of the treadmill with one hand and said, "I found someone in the Alien Ball."

"Hmm." Erwei didn't drink water, but unscrewed the bottle cap and poured the water on her head, her pace gradually slowed down, "Ask about his identity information, what are his wishes, and see what we can do to help him."

Regarding this point, Erwei was very relieved about Jiang Xiao, he did it better than her, and he had been insisting on it.

Jiang Xiao said, "I always thought she was an indifferent girl, but now I know that she just closed herself off. It turns out that her emotions are rich and her heart is terribly soft."

Erwei frowned slightly and looked down at Jiang Xiao.

It could be seen that his mood was not very good, Erwei's footsteps slowly stopped, she got off the treadmill, and temporarily stopped training.

She bent down to pick up a bottle of mineral water, raised her head and took a few big gulps, wiped her mouth casually, and looked down at Jiang Xiao, indicating that she was listening attentively.

Jiang Xiao said, "I found Sanwei."

Erwei's face was astonished, and she looked at Jiang Xiao blankly. For a moment, she couldn't say a word.

Jiang Xiao said, "Yu Qiushi."

"She... is she okay... she......" Erwei's words were intermittent, and in the end, she couldn't say a complete sentence, and her astonished look had returned to normal.

Having regained her expressionless face, she threw the mineral water away and stepped onto the treadmill again.

Jiang Xiao looked at the soldier in front of him with abnormal emotions. For a moment, he couldn't judge what kind of ups and downs she had experienced in her heart in these short ten seconds.

Jiang Xiao tentatively asked, "Is there anything you want to ask, or anything you want to say to her?"

Erwei's voice was low and hoarse, and extremely short: "No."

......

Next to the treadmill in the Huoying space, Jiang Xiao looked up and silently at Erwei;

In front of the courtyard of Yegu Pagoda City, Jiang Xiao put one hand on the blind girl's shoulder and gently shook it;

In the Shuli jungle of the Huoying world, on the giant tree, Jiang Xiao was carrying a sea soul lamp, and half of the exquisite tree house in front of him had been pieced together, but the entangled branches stopped slowly;

In the hotel room in the imperial capital, Jiang Xiao was lying on the bed, listening to Gu Shi'an's snoring, he turned over and looked at the white wall......

The four Jiang Xiao sighed deeply at the same time.

You obviously wanted to ask "Is she okay?", why did it end up being two words "no"......
