However, after just one day of rest, Frontline became busy again.
The seriously injured people exited Demon-Suppressing Pass, and batches of Truck carrying the bodies of Demon Beast were transported to the interior of Human Race under the protection of soldiers.
One by one, the masters who came to support quietly retreated and moved on to fight other Three Passes.
Everything is in order.
But it seems that they have already felt the situation they will face in the next war, and an invisible pressure is still spreading.
The soldiers have gradually stopped joking and arranging their weapons with solemn faces, trying to improve their strength as much as possible before the war.
Yuan Qingshan always stands on the city wall, looking into the distance.
Only Shi Guang is still standing in front of his cart, waiting for the next opportunity to push.
Chu Yu sat quietly in front of his Drawing Board, glancing at the position of Shi Guang from time to time. The brush continued to outline Drawing Board, depicting a thin and somewhat lonely figure.
This figure was pushing a cart full of wounded people. The wounded looked panicked, which made Image full of joy.
The only thing that affects the painting style is Shi Guang's always serious and serious expression.
It was as if... she was indeed doing this seriously, without any sense of the humor in the matter itself.
"What a strange person."
At the end of the painting, Chu Yu gently put down the brush in his hand, looked at the content on Scroll, murmured to himself, and finally looked at where Shi Guang was.
"Can we talk?"
"It seems to me that you... don't have much work for the time being."
Chu Yu hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't hold it back and asked Shi Guang.
Shi Guang was sitting on the cart and raised his head in confusion, glanced in the direction of Chu Yu, and then looked at his own cart, feeling a little hesitant.
Finally, she silently pushed her car and walked into Array, looking at Chu Yu with some confusion.
"Well..."
"Why... you never smile."
"I've been looking at you for a long time, and you never seemed to smile."
Chu Yu asked in a soft voice after carefully organizing his words.
Shi Guang is still confused. "Why are you laughing?"
Chu Yu was startled for a moment. "Because we need to release our inner emotions. We cry when we are sad, laugh when we are happy, and shout loudly when we are depressed for a long time. These are all our ways of venting."
Shi Guang's answer was completely beyond her expectation and made her puzzled.
Shi Guang put the cart aside, sat on the armrest, and shook his head gently. "But if your emotions are released through venting, people will see your state of mind and become a flaw. Eventually, the enemy will amplify the flaw and become the fuse of your own death."
"And I can control my emotions and don't need to vent."
"Happiness, sadness, these emotions will affect the battle."
She looked serious when she said this, without any intention of joking.
Chu Yu looked at Shi Guang's face and was silent for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, she spoke again, "I'm sorry, I don't know what happened to you, but I can tell you about myself."
"At that time, I was just eighteen years old and entered Ink Academy..."
I don't know why, but when Chu Yu looks at Shi Guang, a kind of... empathy always arises in the bottom of my heart.
She is very curious about Shi Guang's past and feels sorry for her present.
She even stood up from the chair on her own initiative and sat on another armrest of Shi Guang's cart, even though it was still stained with dried blood.
Two girls...
Or in a more strict sense, it was a girl and a girl with some gray hair, just sitting on the cart, looking at the scenery outside Demon-Suppressing Pass, chatting softly.
Of course, most of the time Chu Yu is talking and Shi Guang is listening.
Chu Yu talked about a lot of her own experiences, including her current situation, but she always had a smile on her face, a very peaceful and sunny smile.
Just like she always has hope for everything in the future, no matter what happens now, she believes in the future.
Shi Guang, on the other hand, was a little calm, with his head slightly lowered, and he rarely even looked at the sunset on the horizon.
Chu Yu has a natural affinity. Although she seems very noisy and chatty, Shi Guang cannot feel disgusted with her.
Maybe...
She can feel Chu Yu's heart.
That heart without any distracting thoughts, pure and kind.
"So..."
"Even if you experience pain and hardships, you must have the courage to say to yourself... work harder!"
"Our future is hope!"
"Will you be my friend?"
Chu Yu clenched his fists out of ten, waved them in the air, and finally asked seriously with a smile on his face.
"Friend..."
Shi Guang's body seemed to tremble slightly, and Muscles tensed up, assuming an instinctive defensive posture.
"I'll take it as your acquiescence!"
"From now on, I will be your friend!"
Chu Yu tilted his head, looked at Shi Guang, and said with a smile.
The setting sun shone on the side of Chu Yu's face, and the speckled white hair on his forehead was blowing in the wind. For a moment, he looked indescribably beautiful.
Shi Guang raised his head and looked at Chu Yu, still silent.
I don't know whether to agree or reject.
"Go ahead and laugh!"
"You are actually very beautiful!"
"People who love to laugh are always young!"
Chu Yu spoke softly, withdrew his gaze, raised his head, and looked at the sunset that was gradually setting. His voice gradually became softer, with memories in his eyes.
"Laugh..."
What Chu Yu said came to Shi Guang's mind. He thought about it seriously, but in the end he didn't make a laughing expression.
Chu Yu didn't urge them, the two of them just sat on the cart filled with the smell of blood, watching the sunset quietly until dark.
