When he said this, Xiao Yunlong's voice and tone changed obviously, becoming desolate and tragic.
Qin Mingyue couldn't help but clench her heart, because she could already hear the most critical part of this story. She seemed to feel it, and realized that under the situation of cutting off the water source, it was...
What a torment and pain it would be in the endless desert.
It's like you can only wait helplessly and desperately for death to come step by step, but you are powerless. The pain is unimaginable. Only by personal experience can you understand how cruel and ruthless it is.
Xiao Yunlong then continued:
"Some people began to despair, because without water, they could not get out of this desert. At this time, the big brother took out another kettle, shook it hard twice, and said that there was still water and a full bottle.
A bottle of water. He cheers us up and helps us regain our firm faith and will to survive, and firmly believe that we can get out of this desert."
"Those who couldn't hold on saw that there was still a pot full of water, and hope rekindled in their eyes. They stepped forward and wanted to take a sip of water. But the big brother stopped sharply. He said that there was only one bottle left.
We cannot drink a pot of water casually, otherwise our hope will be completely extinguished after drinking it. He warned us that we should continue to persevere and drink a sip of water until we really can't walk and can no longer hold on."
"No one objects to Big Brother's words, because everyone knows that the only remaining pot of water is the only hope. So everyone continues on the road, cheering each other up, even if they are so thirsty that their mouths and tongues can no longer produce body fluids.
No one said to take a sip of water. Everyone encouraged each other to persevere until the end, to fight until the end, and then take a sip of water to replenish body functions."
"In this way, we walked forward for another two days and one night. During these two days and one night, no one said that they wanted to take a sip of water, including Big Brother."
Having said this, Xiao Yunlong paused, and then continued: "When the night dissipated and dawn came, we found an oasis in front of us, an oasis in the desert. Everyone was ecstatic and jumped on it.
We drank heavily from the water in the oasis. When we drank enough of the water from the oasis with excitement and excitement, we turned around and saw that Big Brother had fallen."
"We rushed up and helped Big Brother up, but we saw that Big Brother was already furious. Due to severe lack of water, his upper and lower lips were ulcerated and glued together. He still opened his mouth with force, intermittently.
He said: We have discovered the oasis, and we can get out of this desert by walking forward. He told us to get out because the way to survive is right in front of us. When the big brother finished saying this, he fell down and could not open his eyes again.
Open your eyes."
"Big Brother died due to severe lack of water. We don't understand. Isn't there still a pot of water? Why didn't Big Brother take a sip when he couldn't hold on anymore? We took out the kettle that Big Brother was holding tightly in his hand and twisted it away.
When the lid of the pot is turned over, all that comes out is yellow sand, a pot full of yellow sand! There is not a drop of water, only a pot full of yellow sand!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Yunlong's eyes turned red, with tears flashing.
"Big Brother told us a white lie. The jug of water we placed our hope in was actually filled with yellow sand. But it was this jug filled with yellow sand that gave us endless hope.
The will to survive supported us in finding the oasis and finding the chance to get out alive." Xiao Yunlong spoke, his tone was extremely heavy, and he added, "Big brother couldn't hold on and fell in the end. That was because of what was ahead.
He barely drank a sip of water. When we finished all the water we brought, he saved half a bottle of water for us to drink. After finishing the drink, he told us a white lie, making us mistakenly think that he was still drinking water.
There was only a full pot of water left, so we persisted. However, when we found the oasis, Big Brother fell, forever!"
"At that time, all of us were extremely sad. All seven-foot-old men were kneeling in front of Big Brother's body, crying and shouting. He was a respected Big Brother!"
Xiao Yunlong's eyes were reddish, with tears flashing in his eyes. His hands and fingers seemed to be trembling slightly, as if he was trying his best to restrain an uncontrollable emotion in his heart.
There are not many things in the world today that can move Xiao Yunlong's face, which shows how deeply this incident touched his heart.
After Qin Mingyue heard this, she felt her heart was filled with panic. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and gently held Xiao Yunlong's hand, but she found that Xiao Yunlong's palms were filled with sweat.
"If it weren't for Big Brother's selfless dedication and encouragement, I would have been buried in that desert of death. Big Brother made me understand a truth. No matter how many hardships and difficulties a person encounters, he should persevere.
At the last moment, don’t give up until you die; Big Brother also made me understand that there is a kind of friendship in this world that is hard to buy. He is a good leading brother. He used his life and his firm belief to save the world.
We, but he died." Xiao Yunlong took a deep breath, and an unspeakable sadness appeared on his face.
"I have read stories and fables like this in books, but I didn't expect that they are actually happening in reality. Yunlong, people cannot be resurrected after death. Your survival is the best reward for that big brother."
Qin Mingyue said softly.
"From that time on, no matter what happened, I would never give up. No matter what danger I encountered, as long as I didn't die, I had a firm belief. These are all things Big Brother taught me personally.
Philosophy of life. So, I am very grateful to him and miss him very much." Xiao Yunlong said.
Qin Mingyue looked at Xiao Yunlong with a pair of beautiful eyes, and the look in her eyes seemed very complicated, and she felt a little pity for him. From the story Xiao Yunlong told, she could imagine that Xiao Yunlong must have been growing up overseas in these years.
It is extremely difficult, full of hardships, and full of dangers.
This was the first time Qin Mingyue saw such a sad expression on Xiao Yunlong's face. She could only comfort and said: "Yunlong, don't be too sad. Big Brother is a very good leader. As long as
Those of you who survived will be worthy of his sacrifice if you live well."
Xiao Yunlong took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, smiled, and said: "Mingyue, thank you for listening carefully to this story I told. I rarely mention these to others, and I don't know why.
You mentioned it. Don’t worry, I will live well, not only for Big Brother’s selfless contribution back then, but also for our future.”
"You, what do you mean?" Qin Mingyue blushed and couldn't help asking.
"We have to get married and have children in the future, right? How can we do it if we don't live well? Mr. Qin has been looking forward to our child being born soon." Xiao Yunlong said seriously.
Qin Mingyue's breathing almost stopped. This guy seemed quite deep just now. Why did he become so virtuous again in the blink of an eye?
Then, Qin Mingyue suddenly felt a strange sensation in her palms. She looked down and saw Xiao Yunlong holding her hands and stroking them continuously. This made her even more embarrassed. She was so delicate.
He scolded and said, "You, how could you do this? Can't you be more honest?"
"Mingyue, you took the initiative to hold my hand. This is just a courtesy," Xiao Yunlong said.
"You, you... I have nothing to say to you!" Qin Mingyue blushed, she took out her hands, stood up suddenly, and said, "It's very late, you should rest too
...I, I went upstairs."
With that said, Qin Mingyue hurriedly walked upstairs.
However, the feeling that her hands were gently caressed by Xiao Yunlong's broad but warm palms just now lingered in her heart, which made her heart beat violently.
Through the past events Xiao Yunlong talked about just now, she saw another side of Xiao Yunlong, which seemed deep and vicissitudes of life, as if he had gone through countless ups and downs, but kept everything in the past deep in his heart.
Under constant fermentation, a unique masculine charm is produced.
All in all, this is a man with a story.
Perhaps the casualness and laziness he showed in the past, or the domineering strength, are all related to his past experiences.
Qin Mingyue is a little curious. When she slowly lifts the veil in Xiao Yunlong's heart bit by bit, what kind of real Xiao Yunlong will she see?
Thinking of this, Qin Mingyue was looking forward to it, but she couldn't help but blush.
Could it be that I am really interested in him?
…
Xiao Yunlong walked back to his room and lay on the bed. Logically speaking, he was indeed very tired, but he couldn't fall asleep after lying on the bed for a while.
Telling Qin Mingyue a story from the past opened up his dusty memory, and he remembered many things and people in the past.
"I remember that Big Brother once said that he had a daughter in China. She was only a teenager at the time. Now eight years have passed. Big Brother's daughter has grown up, right? Let's see if we can find Big Brother when we come back this time.
My daughter, if she has a good life, that's the best. If she has a bad life, I will do my best to help."
Xiao Yunlong spoke to himself.
"Many of the original brothers have been separated. Some are living a peaceful life incognito, some may have died, and some may still be fighting. Moon should still be in the Demon King Mercenary Group, right? As long as he is here, the Demon King Mercenary Group will not
It will decline. Unfortunately, I have already quit."
Xiao Yunlong sighed softly. Thinking of the past, he felt emotional, but what he missed more was the brotherhood of fighting side by side.
Then, Xiao Yunlong took a deep breath and stopped thinking about the past. He closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.
