"Look, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
The question was not answered, but a gentle sigh came from Li Mo's ear.
The fog gradually dispersed, and the woman carrying thick luggage also found the people waiting here. At that moment, her eyes shone in the morning light, and then these luminous pearls began to pour out of her eyes. , dripping.
She blushed and laughed, smiling awkwardly, and tried her best to cover it up with her hands.
The large and small luggage slipped from her shoulders. She ran forward, pushed aside the remaining mist, and hugged the old man with gray hair. She sobbed softly in the old man's arms, and the old man could feel it. He could hear her crying, because the temperature of her tears soaked into his coat and was coming unstoppably.
The forest guard stood there blankly, making no sound for a long time, as if he didn't know how to respond. He just waited quietly, waiting for his daughter to stop crying.
Then those hands covered with calluses and scars pulled her daughter away from her arms.
"I've seen you, let's go back."
There was nothing of his father's kindness or kindness in his eyes.
The old man was born with a straight nose and a face as clear as a knife. His already sunken eyes have sunk deeper due to old age. When he was a general, he scared many recruits with this face, "Ghost General" Half of this name comes from his face that is as terrifying as the Prajna Neng Face.
Now his eyes have lost all color, and he is even more frightened to the extreme.
"This is what I should say, come back with me now!"
She tightly grasped the corner of her father's clothes, her hands turning white.
"Where is the child? I don't care if the child comes to see me? You don't want to see me again until you get the child back!"
"If you don't want to see me, don't live here! You don't belong here, you should belong to the busy traffic in the city! You should have a better life! You are a hero!" The daughter couldn't help but scream.
"I'm not a hero, I should be here too. I'm not escaping here, but I have my dream here. If you understand, go back quickly."
"Dream?" Li Mo asked.
"It's none of your business. Take her back and don't come back again." The old man replied.
"What a dream! You are just lying to yourself! There are no dragons in the world!"
It seemed that his daughter knew why the old man was holding his temper and questioning why he wanted to stay in the forest.
Li Mo suddenly remembered that the old man had said that there was something more precious than treasure sleeping here. It seemed that it was because of the "dragon" in her daughter's mouth.
But......
"Isn't that stuff everywhere in the Land of Fire?"
Li Mo doesn't understand why he should go to such trouble for such a thing.
Dragons are not a rare thing in the Demon King's Continent. Lower-level dragons are even used to pull goods and drive cars, especially in the Fire Land where the temperature is relatively high.
"idiot!"
The forest guard became angry. He grabbed Li Mo's collar and pulled Li Mo in front of him, which made Li Mo breathless.
"How dare you call that little lizard with wings a dragon?! A real dragon can climb the clouds and ride the mists, change the sky and make rain. Only the vast universe can allow it to roam freely. How can you understand that?!"
"But, that's a mythical dragon, right? Is it really possible in reality? If we take a step back, if it's really like what you said, can a dragon be crowded in a small mountain forest like this?"
Li Mo didn't resist and allowed the old man to drag him.
"What do you know! Have you ever looked for it? Have you ever tried to understand it? What qualifications do people who have never done anything have to deny the existence of dragons!"
"Let go!"
The daughter struggled to push away her father's violent hand.
Li Mo, who finally tasted the air again, scratched his neck and coughed crazily. The feeling of being choked by air was more uncomfortable than being choked by water.
In order to leave the end, the daughter once again stood in front of her father.
"What about you? What have you learned after all this time! You have worked hard all your life! Nothing has been achieved! Nothing has been achieved! How long are you going to spend on your so-called dream!"
"lifetime."
"you!"
After so many years, he has not changed at all, just like when his mother died of illness many years ago and she risked her life and went to the front line to convey her mother's last words to him.
He has never been moved by others, he only knows how to keep his head down and work hard on his own affairs.
He will never know how much I care about him, and he will never know how much his mother loves him.
The daughter was angry. She raised her hand and slapped the forest guard in the face.
However, this time, there was no steady slap on the forest guard's face like before in the military camp. Her slender hand was simply grabbed by the big weather-beaten hands and then thrown aside.
Without holding back at all, the daughter fell to the ground hard with the force.
"go back."
The forest guard left his last words calmly, turned around and walked towards the forest.
"Hey! Old man!"
Li Mo tried to shout, but his voice failed to retain the strength of the old man. He picked up his daughter who fell to the ground and softly comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll pull him back."
Before getting an answer from her, Li Mo hurriedly chased after her: "Hey, I told you to stop!"
The old man still ignored him.
After enduring this stubborn donkey for a long time, Li Mo became a little angry, and he pressed the old man's shoulders hard.
"Old man! She..."
"Don't look back!"
The forest guard shouted in a low voice and stopped Li Mo who was looking back at his daughter.
"Don't look back...please."
He spoke each word through gritted teeth, and his whispering voice was trembling, as if he was choking.
"..."
Li Mo wanted to say something more, but couldn't. He gently let go of his hand. This was the first time the old man begged himself, and he had no choice but to agree.
He did not look back as promised, but quietly followed the old man into the forest again.
