Cthulhu

Extra 8

Linfeng Mountain is approaching autumn.

The environment in the mountains is secluded, and rains are frequent especially in late summer. Several heavy rains have blocked the way out.

By the time the news came that Qiang Wu had been destroyed and Dacheng's army had won a complete victory, it was already half a month later.

The people in the village began to rejoice after a while, and they were very happy in the cooler weather. They were killing pigs and sheep, which was even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

In the cave, Liu Yao hung the newly washed clothes to dry on the stone wall. He looked back at the sleeping person in the quilt and couldn't help but smile.

"Hey, Xiao Liu," Aunt Gu from next door came over with a smile, holding a bowl of stew in her hand, "I heard that your husband came back yesterday. How is it? Is he injured?"

Liu Yao shook his head and took the porcelain bowl handed over by the other party, "No injuries, but his body is a little weak. It will probably heal in a few days."

"It's good that you're not injured," Aunt Gu sighed and patted the back of Liu Yao's hand, "After waiting for so long, you have finally come to the end of your hardships. From now on, you can only live a good life with your husband."

"Oh, it's great not to have a war," although she had said it many times, Aunt Gu still couldn't help but sigh, "I heard that the new prefect came to Yancheng and has already started to rebuild the streets in the city. When the streets are repaired, We can all go down the mountain and move to the city.”

"Yeah." Liu Yao also smiled and nodded.

It was indeed a bittersweet experience. Looking at the person with half of his face buried in the quilt, Liu Yao could still recall the scene when he met him for the first time.

At that time, the border war was fierce, and Liu Yao was accidentally separated from his family. He lived alone on Linfeng Mountain, struggling to survive by relying on caves and wild fruits in the forest.

It was also by mistake that one day when he went to the river to wash up, he unexpectedly picked up a young man who was seriously injured and unconscious.

The opponent was covered in blood and wore the armor of a Dacheng soldier. He looked to be only one or two years older than Liu Yao at most.

Maybe it was out of kindness, or maybe Liu Yao really didn't want to live alone anymore.

So in that situation where it was difficult to even feed himself, he rescued the other person without much hesitation and took him back to the cave to take good care of him.

The young man was seriously injured and it took him half a month to recover before he was finally able to move around.

The two got along day and night, secretly developing feelings for each other, but when they were about to recover from their injuries, the other person was about to leave again.

Before leaving, he told Liu Yao that his name was Yin Yueli and he was the commander-in-chief of the border guards. He had to return to the battlefield, but he hoped Liu Yao could wait for him. After the war is over, I will definitely come back and marry him.

A whole year followed.

Liu Yao waited from summer to summer, until life became more stable, and when the number of people on Linfeng Mountain gradually increased.

When Liu Yao himself no longer had any hope, the other party finally came back.

After sending Aunt Gu away and putting the porcelain bowl of stew aside, Liu Yao turned around and found that the person in the quilt had woken up, with a pair of dark eyes staring in his direction.
