Chapter 73 Tears in the Desert
Section [-] Fugitive

When it was almost dark, the temperature dropped sharply. Looking at the oasis and a spring not far away, Luoluo suggested to go there to rest.

In this Guman desert, only the elves who are naturally sensitive to direction and have flying skills can come and go freely.If human beings accidentally go deep into the desert alone, nine out of ten will die here.But because of this, this desert is under the jurisdiction of the elves.Except for prisoners, there are few people living here.

In the desert, without lights, the stars at night are extraordinarily bright.Luoluo and Cangyue set up their tents, while the monk lit a fire beside them.When everyone was wrapped in blankets and sitting together, Lulu had baked the food and distributed it to everyone.

"Monk, have you been here alone before?" Luoluo asked him as she handed him a corn.

"came."

"Even for an elf, it takes a lot of courage to cross the Guman desert alone."

"I used to come here because I was looking for a human being, but it's really nothing."

This sentence aroused the interest of Lulu, who had no interest in this matter, and insisted on pestering the monk to tell stories.The monk squinted his eyes and smiled at Lulu beside him, patted her head, and began to talk about this matter.

"I once met a human girl. She was different from other humans. She was a person with a pure heart, like the sun. As long as she was there, there seemed to be no shadows, no darkness, only laughter .But one day, she disappeared from this world."

The monk paused, put down the food in his hands, and continued: "So I kept looking for her. I searched every corner of this mainland city, but I didn't see her again. Finally one day , I plan to come to this desert to have a look, and I bet on the negligible possibility that she is here."

Lulu curled her lips, and asked him angrily, "Is that the owner of that handkerchief?"

"What handkerchief?" Luoluo asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing. Before the monk became a monk, he didn't expect such a story. I was sleepy and went to sleep."

Just when the monk wanted to explain something, Lulu had turned back into a black cat and walked into the tent.Cang Yue and Luo Luo smiled awkwardly. Suddenly, they noticed a black shadow flashing past behind the monk, running towards the opposite direction of the oasis.

Cang Yue stopped Luo Luo who was about to stand up, spread her wings and flew up.

"I'll leave it to you, monk, and I'll go after it."

As soon as the words fell, Cang Yue disappeared.Seeing the darkness not far away, Luoluo gripped the blanket tightly in worry.

After about a few minutes, Cang Yue came out from the darkness, holding a human in her hand.The human looked a bit downcast, tall, unshaven, with fetters on his hands and feet, blood stained on his body, pale complexion, he seemed to be a prisoner who escaped from Heyan City.

With a cold face, Cang Yue pressed the wind blade against the man's neck and asked, "Who released you from Heyan City and instructed you to follow and monitor us? If you don't tell, we have no choice but to kill you."

The man seemed to be terribly frightened, and said tremblingly, "I, I. No one instructed me. I think you misunderstood me. I just ran out while I was in the chaos."

"Take advantage of the chaos?"

"Yes, taking advantage of the chaos. A few days ago, elves from Heyan City did not know where they came from to rob the prison, and there was a riot. The group of elves ran away after robbing people, and the God of War sent troops to suppress them. I was hit by a spell in the chaos. I was dead, I didn’t expect to be fatal, and I escaped by crawling out of the dead. Basically, the prisoners who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape were all dead, and I was also transported out with the corpse.”

The man spoke sincerely, Luoluo looked into his eyes, but didn't see the change of pupils because of lying.She put down Cang Yue's hand, walked up to him and asked, "Do you know who was robbed?"

"I don't know, I just know it's an elf."

"Then where are you going?"

The man sighed and looked at the sky melancholy: "Where can I go now? I don't have a home anymore, not to mention being charged with crimes. After the trial, I was tortured by nightmares every day, and I finally thought I was dead. And found out he was still alive."

"What kind of crime did you commit to enter Heyan City?"

"I killed my own wife and children."

Luoluo was taken aback, and took a step back in the next life.Seeing the man's remorse, Luoluo tugged on Cang Yue's sleeve, motioning them to sit down and talk about this story again.

"I can tell it to you if you like."

Luoluo handed him a potato, watched the man gobble it up, and admired him for walking alone in the desert for a long time hungry.

After he had finished eating, the man slowly began to tell his own story.

The man's name is Gu Sheng, and like thousands of other ordinary human beings, he leads a peaceful and stable life.Her wife and he were childhood sweethearts, lived opposite his house, and grew up together.

Gu Sheng liked the little girl next door named Lin Yue since he was a child.Shuttlecock kicking and grid jumping are all done without being with her. That was the happiest time in his life.

Such a peaceful life came almost 20 years ago. Under the instigation of those around him, he shyly expressed his love when he was still a teenager.And their story begins here.

Lin Yue is a beautiful girl, her pink face and big sparkling eyes always make the boys around her scramble to run after her.But no matter what, she only has the big brother next door who always protects her in her heart, no matter how these boys show their affection, she will never be moved.

It wasn't until Gu Sheng showed his heart to her with a blushing face that Lin Yue smiled like a flower, tilted her head and said hello.The May breeze caressed Gu Sheng's heart, his smile was as beautiful as a gardenia, which made him fascinated.

Days passed, Lin Yue and Gu Sheng also reached the age to talk about marriage.Although there is a beautiful and charming Li Jia who chases after Gu Sheng crazily, but there is no accident, they are still together.

After marriage, Lin Yue worked hard to be a good wife, but gradually, she seemed to lose Gu Sheng's love for her.The knight who used to protect her eventually became the vampire who blindly demanded and no longer cared about her tenderly.

Lin Yue kept comforting herself, seeing Gu Sheng coming home later and later, she felt unspeakably sad in her heart.

Maybe it's because these days are too boring and boring. The white moonlight in the past is like boiled water after you get it, but the red rose, the more you can't get it, the more attractive it is.In the end, Gu Sheng only felt that the alluring Li Jia, just like the cinnabar mole on his heart, the bright red color, tempted him to keep wanting to get closer.

He couldn't control himself more and more.Knowing that it was wrong, knowing that Lin Yue at home was still waiting for him to come home all night, prepared meals for him, and smiled softly.But he still approached Li Jia uncontrollably, wanting to possess her.

Without Lin Yue's knowledge, Gu Sheng cheated on him for the first time. He hugged Li Jia in his arms, but he felt unspeakably happy.
