Chapter 80 Got a cold

When we reached halfway up the mountain, the gloomy sky began to drizzle again.

The team began to stop, but no soldier ran to hide from the rain. Everyone just silently dispersed and looked for a suitable place for the heavy tombstone in their hands.

Accompanied by the faint sobbing that was forcibly suppressed and the drifting cold and biting rain, this world seemed so desolate.

The drizzle is falling, and people are heartbroken!
At this moment, Wang Yao couldn't think of any words to comfort people. The only thing he could do was to observe a moment of silence like everyone else. That was all he could do.

Just in the blink of an eye, Wang Yao suddenly saw Zhao Yun.

The strange thing was that Zhao Yun was looking in a different direction than the others. He was looking in the exact opposite direction. At this moment, the cold rain was constantly sliding down the tips of his hair.

Wang Yao couldn't help but look in the direction he was looking, and saw that in a corner of the mountain range there, there were countless cracks and deep pits. At first glance, it looked like the uneven surface of the moon that had been hit by countless meteorites. And most importantly, it didn't look like it was caused by a natural disaster. Wang Yao, who had fought with the hero before, subconsciously felt that it seemed like the traces left over from a battle long ago.

Heroes have fought in this place.

"Why are there such marks on that side?" Wang Yao asked Erda, not realizing that his voice had unconsciously become hoarse.

"Did you notice it?" 2 Da glanced at the pale Wang Yao and said, "It is said that it was left behind 10 years ago. A very powerful mercenary group once appeared in the Three-Point Land, and this is where those mercenaries fought for the last time. As for why and who they fought with, no one knows until now."

"Is that so?" Wang Yao looked at Zhao Yun thoughtfully, and some thoughts seemed to move slightly in his mind.

Based on the background, it seems that Zhao Yun was also a mercenary before?
"Then why don't the heroes come to pay tribute to these fallen soldiers?" Wang Yao suddenly asked again.

"Because some people in the upper echelons were originally against us erecting a monument for the fallen soldiers at the End Mountain, so naturally they would not come." Su An, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "In fact, when the Moonlight Girl first came to Shu two years ago, she would come to pay tribute every time a war ended, but she didn't come later."

"why?"

"The commander of the bot lane army has ordered that the child be forbidden to come to this place."

Zhang Fei?

Wang Yao looked at Su An in confusion.

But Su An only said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear: "Because some people are afraid of an imbalance of power."

"Even if they have a fanatical worship of heroes that is almost religious, soldiers are still human beings after all, with emotions and desires, and they are individuals who can think independently. In this case, don't you think that the reason why some people are unwilling to come to this place is simply because they are worried that as time goes by, when the relatives of the deceased see their relatives and friends die on the battlefield one by one, while the heroes have almost infinite life, they may gradually be dissatisfied and resented by the soldiers? Once the two lives are compared and there is a distinction between noble and humble, no matter whether the result is good or bad, people's hearts will definitely be tempted to move, don't you think so?"

Wang Yao thought about it and it seemed to be the case.

"In the final analysis, heroes are powerful, but they also need food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and they also need soldiers to work for them. Therefore, although the top leaders are very opposed to the existence of Wanbei Ridge, they finally choose to turn a blind eye and let it go, because Wanbei Ridge is essentially not just a burial place for soldiers, it is also a place for their families to resolve their sadness and dissatisfaction. Otherwise, once a certain kind of dissatisfaction accumulates to a certain peak, rebellion will ensue, and the heroes will lose their appeal to the soldiers and civilians. This is what the top leaders don't want to see, don't you think?"

Wang Yao thought about it and it seemed to be the case.

"But on the other hand, they forbade the kind-hearted Luna to come. Because while they were avoiding their own risks, they were also afraid that Luna's behavior might have unexpected effects, such as making her more appealing in the legion than all the commanders of the three routes. People can't hate a kind-hearted girl even if she is a hero, because people can feel the warmth in her every move, which is something hypocrites can't do. And if it is allowed to develop, more and more soldiers will choose to support this girl, which is also something that some senior officials don't want to see."

Su An's voice was so low, as if possessed by a magic, guiding Wang Yao intentionally or unintentionally.

While Wang Yao was secretly shocked by Su An's unique insights, he didn't say anything in the end.

This cruel world also seemed not as simple as he imagined.
The monument erection at Wanbei Ridge was not completed until the evening, and the rain continued until dusk.

Wang Yao couldn't quite remember when he said goodbye to his teammates. Even on the way back, he was unaware of the freezing rain that kept washing over his body.

To be honest, this trip to Wanbeiling dealt him a great mental blow.

The most despairing thing is not death itself, but the fact that a person has to face the death of countless people. Undoubtedly, the withered tombs and gravestones all over the mountains were fatal to Wang Yao, so much so that when he returned home, he inevitably fell ill.

When a person's spirit reaches its lowest point, his physical condition will also be greatly weakened. Therefore, it is often seen that when some people are hit by some major accidents, all they need is a little cold to cause a serious illness.

Even Wang Yao today is no exception.

He supported his weak body and pushed the tightly closed door open. When Wang Yao, who was soaked all over, appeared at the door, Luna, who was chewing an apple and reading a book in the living room, seemed to be startled.

Wang Yao's condition at this moment was indeed not very good. His eyes were out of focus, shaky, and his face was frighteningly pale.

The moment he saw Luna, Wang Yao suddenly felt like an exhausted man who had finally unloaded a heavy burden. He only had time to smile weakly at the beautiful girl, and then fell forward softly.

"Ayao!" Fortunately, Luna was quick-witted and instantly leaped in front of Wang Yao and hugged him.

"Ah Yao? Are you okay?" The girl was shocked as she hugged Wang Yao's cold body. She could feel how weak Wang Yao was at that moment. "I uh! Cough, cough, cough, cough!" Wang Yao was about to speak, but as soon as the air entered his lungs, it was like adding fuel to the fire. He immediately knelt on the ground and coughed violently, which was heartbreaking.

He felt dizzy and his lungs were burning, which was very uncomfortable. Then he lost consciousness soon.

In a daze, the boundless sky was torn apart by an irresistible force. A sky full of flaming meteors fell from the sky, destroying the mountains and rivers like the end of the world. The whole world was engulfed by the horrific sea of ​​fire.

Wang Yao, who was in the sea of ​​fire, looked at everything around him in horror and helplessness, but he was powerless. He wanted to shout, but no sound came out. He could only struggle desperately, desperately trying to avoid those deadly flames, until -

A familiar faint fragrance, accompanied by an extremely comfortable coolness, came over, and the hot hell was finally broken.

The next day.

When Wang Yao woke up, he first smelled a faint fragrance, and then saw the elegant decorations, which told him that this was Luna's room.

What's going on? Why is he sleeping in Luna's bed?
Wang Yao slowly sat up, and as gravity dropped a handkerchief that was still slightly moist, he subconsciously stroked his forehead which was still a little swollen and painful.

By the way, he seemed to have a cold when he came back last night? So -

Wang Yao turned his head and saw the girl resting on the edge of the bed.

At this time, the early morning sunlight shone through the window, against the snow-white sheets, making Luna's sleeping face look as delicate and cute as a child.

The girl seemed to take care of him all night.

Staring blankly at the angel-like girl beside him, Wang Yao subconsciously thought how sad it was to come to this cruel world inexplicably, but what a lucky thing it was to meet this girl.

"Luna, Luna? Wake up."

"Hmm" Luna groaned, then raised her little face and opened her eyes in a daze, but her beautiful watery eyes seemed out of focus.

"Huh? Ah. Yao? Are you awake? Great, you're fine. Then, I'll go back to my room and sleep."

She seemed to be very listless, and after saying this in a halting manner, she stumbled to her feet.

Wang Yao couldn't help but smile, and pulled the girl aside and said, "Wait, isn't this your room?"

Luna, who is half asleep, is actually very cute.

"Huh? Yes, yes." Luna responded vaguely, her voice sounded soft, as if she had no strength.

Wang Yao just thought that Luna was too tired, so he planned to say thank you to her later. He didn't care much at the moment, but just pulled the girl to the bed and covered her with a quilt.

Maybe she was really tired. As soon as Luna lay down, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she fell into a deep sleep in a few seconds.

After a night of care and rest by Luna, Wang Yao was now full of energy. Seeing Luna fall asleep, he walked straight out of the room and went to the bathroom on the first floor to brush his teeth leisurely.

That's right, brush your teeth.

Speaking of this, Wang Yao has always found it very interesting. In this world, the so-called toothbrush is actually a willow branch soaked in water. When using it, bite the willow branch with your teeth, and the willow fibers inside will stick out, like tiny wooden comb teeth, which is very convenient for brushing teeth.

The ancient saying "chewing tooth wood in the morning" comes from this.

As for toothpaste, it is also a paste made up of medicinal materials such as Poria cocos.

The longer Wang Yao lived in this world, the more he felt that the novels he had read on Earth were a little unreliable. Dental health was supposed to be very important, but few people mentioned brushing teeth.
But why did I feel that Luna's body temperature was very high just now? Even my hands were burning hot. Was it an illusion?
Just as Wang Yao was thinking this while holding his toothbrush, there was a knock on the door.

I checked my phone and the time showed 6:35 in the morning.

"Who is it? So early?" Wang Yao muttered, then quickly rinsed his mouth and ran to open the door.

When they opened the door, they found a fully armed soldier knocking on their door.

"Who are you?" Wang Yao was stunned, but asked out of politeness.

"You are Lord Wang Yao, right?" The soldier bowed respectfully and said, "The military advisor sent me to take you to the Seventh Main Force to take up your post."
