A squirrel holding a pine cone stopped its hurried escape home and stood up to survey the quiet battlefield. If it weren't for the search for the already scarce food, who would be willing to take such risks? As it lowered its head, it dropped the fruit in its paws, and its furry body instantly fell from the snow-covered branch.
Xiao Yu'er, with her hair styled in a bun, was dressed in armor and looked like a handsome young man. At that moment, she was gazing at the cute little creature and quickly reached out to catch it as it slipped. She also caught the falling pine cone, took a look at it, and then carefully returned it.
For some reason, the little squirrel seemed not to be very afraid of humans. After confirming that she had no intention of snatching its food, it eagerly stretched out its front paws to reclaim it and hugged it close. Sniffing it with its nose, it was instantly intoxicated by the aroma of the ripe fruit.
Worried about scaring the little squirrel she held in her palm, Xiao Yu'er couldn't help but nuzzle its furry little head with her forehead. The warmth that radiated from this gesture brought tears to her eyes. "Little Squirrel! Little Squirrel! Can we be good friends?"
In this day and age, one could make friends with any animal but not with people! They wouldn't spare even their own kind, let alone animals! The little squirrel turned its round eyes back and forth, pondering for a long time but still seemed indecisive. When it saw the crossbow on Xiao Yu'er's back, it leaped out of her hands and escaped.
As a healer whose purpose was to treat and save lives, Xiao Yu'er never expected that she would end up taking a life today!
Heartbroken, she watched the little squirrel flee in panic, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. It was as if her former kindness dripped onto the snow-covered ground along with her tears, instantly turning into flowers...
The Zhao Soldier who stubbornly refused to reveal the flag signals ultimately chose to give up. Faced with a healer who understood human anatomy deeply, they could make you wish you were dead. Under extreme torture, they didn't even have the right to faint. Time dragged on painfully second by second until beads of sweat finally washed away their once strong will.
Ordinary soldiers had not undergone devilish training; their simple resolve completely crumbled. Amid loud and vicious curses, they finally revealed the flag signals. As pain vanished from their consciousness in an instant, their brains quickly regained clarity. Knowing he had made a grave mistake, he sighed lightly and looked calmly at the practitioner before him.
"Alas! Is this all fate? Please kill me! Let me go to the eighteenth layer of hell to wait for your arrival. If Heavenly Will could see all that you have done, He would never let you go!"
When Xiao Yu'er walked out of the Observation Post, her face appeared pale without a hint of color. She wasn't worried about her ultimate fate; rather, she was enduring inner torment. Despite repeatedly telling herself that this was war! This was a battlefield! A place filled with slaughter where there was no choice! If there was even a hint of pity for the enemy, Luzi and his brothers would be killed. But still...
After the flag signal information was shared, everyone quickly grasped the gist through simple communication. It seemed particularly complicated because they didn't understand. Once simple movements and colors were deciphered, everyone who gathered around immediately learned them. With this knowledge, there was a greater chance that the brothers could hold out until reinforcements arrived. Thus, they expressed their heartfelt gratitude to this benefactor.
When Luzi saw Xiao Yu'er's expression, he felt a piercing sensation in his heart. He had intended to say a few comforting words, but he didn't know where to start. He could only nod at Wang Jian, signaling him to manage the rotation of personnel.
Seeing Xiao Yu'er walk out of the Defensive Formation with her head down, Li Xin felt a heaviness in his heart as he silently led two brothers into the Observation Post. They cleaned up inside and then moved the bodies out to bury them under the snow.
The wind on the hillside was strong, making the cold feel even more biting. Luzi watched as the frail figure walked alone into the woods, not following her to offer a few words of comfort. Instead, he stood in the cold wind, gazing at Xiao Yu'er's back. It wasn't that he didn't want to approach her; he just needed to give her enough time—a necessary psychological adjustment period.
This was not something that could be easily crossed with mere psychological counseling; it primarily depended on the individual's mindset and their capacity for endurance. Whether one was qualified or not ultimately hinged on this. Once this mental hurdle was overcome, they could continue forward. If she couldn't get past it, she would be unintentionally excluded from this sequence.
Luzi only nodded at Wang Jian, who had been waiting by his side, when he saw Xiao Yu'er squatting in the snow, her shoulders shaking. He then slowly approached her and stood beside her, looking up at the snowdrifts being whipped up by the wind, taking a deep breath without saying a word.
People often say that no matter where the road leads beneath our feet, it is ultimately our own choice. But when one reaches this point, aside from gritting their teeth and persevering, what other options are there? When faced with unavoidable choices, only selfish individuals will act according to their own intentions. Especially on this battlefield filled with slaughter, your path in life is no longer yours alone.
Because there are brothers by your side! Brothers who are willing to live and die with you without any selfish motives! They would rather sacrifice their own lives than see you suffer; they only hope that you can live well! If you can understand what true sacrifice is, then your life will be different from that point on. And all of this comes from self-awareness; it is not something anyone can persuade you into with words!
Luzi did not disturb Xiao Yu'er as she cried quietly nor did he attempt to lift anyone up. He simply stayed quietly by her side, patiently waiting for that definitive answer. He had full confidence in Xiao Yu'er because she was inherently extraordinary!
Xiao Yu'er walked over to Luzi and looked up at the blue sky. The clouds floated like pure white hidden deep within her heart—truly beautiful!
"This may be our life—moving forward with confidence even in passivity. If heaven were to give me another chance to choose, I believe I would still make the same choice. Even if I had to descend into hell alone, I would never sign a contract with my inner demons and abandon you all!"
Hearing her unwavering conviction brought relief to Luzi as he finally received his answer. He gently wrapped his arm around Xiao Yu'er's shoulders and smiled appreciatively while shaking his head. Turning back to look at the brothers busy transporting arrows and repairing defenses, a warmth surged in his heart. He solemnly told Xiao Yu'er that no one would leave alone because they would always have each other by their side. The brothers were already prepared; whether someone went to hell or heaven, they would remain steadfast together. Loneliness would only brush past them because they were always together!
