The weather was very hot, but the weather was very cold.

Under the sycamore tree that had long since turned into a dead tree.

Hei Ning stood beside Bai Ning holding an oil-paper umbrella.

Quietly looking at the white mountains in the distance in the continuous rain.

She looked like she was lost in memories, and she seemed to have no interest in anything.

There was no ripple on her face.

Her expression remained calm.

Perhaps she would only frown when the rain dripping from the umbrella eaves was about to fall on the sleeping Bai Ning.

Then she quickly adjusted the position of the umbrella to prevent the cold rain from waking Bai Ning from his dream.

Then, the cold and beautiful face would reveal a rare smile, like spring snow melting.

"How long have I slept...?"

After waking up from the dream.

Bai Ning found that the figure of the master had disappeared.

What replaced it was the gray sky.

The dead sycamore tree.

The stone table with three empty seats.

The tea set covered with leaves.

And... a bag of dust wrapped in a cloth bag and held in her palm.

She looked at everything in front of her with a confused look.

She looked up at Hei Ning beside her and asked.

As she raised her head, the outline of her cheeks was also revealed.

Different from the immature and childish girl in the dream, full of vitality.

Now, she has become much more mature in both appearance and temperament.

It can be seen that what happened in the dream was a long time ago.

But the slightly haggard face and the crystal water light in the eyes.

But it makes her look a little fragile now.

It makes people want to pity her.

"It's been a day."

"You should know that she... can't keep the appointment anymore."

Perhaps it's because he is afraid that the extreme words will irritate Bai Ning.

Hei Ning is no longer as sharp-tongued as usual.

Whether it's the tone of his speech or his behavior, he is a little more gentle.

After saying this.

She is a little afraid to look at Bai Ning.

So she can see the disappointment in the other's eyes.

So she tilted her head to one side.

"It's been so long..."

Bai Ning said with a sigh.

As if she smelled the blood in the air, she said again: "But why didn't the monsters attack me during the time I was asleep?"

"Because I killed them all."

Hei Ning said lightly while holding the long sword in his arms.

Hearing her words, Bai Ning felt that his vision seemed to have improved a lot in an instant.

The surrounding environment was all included in the bottom of his eyes.

Burnt wasteland, broken weapons, and monster corpses lying everywhere.

All of these indicate that a fierce battle had taken place here before.

Seeing this, Bai Ning touched her face blankly.

After realizing that it was raining all around, but her body was very dry.

She slowly turned around and looked at Hei Ning.

But she saw Hei Ning standing alone in the rain, with her cheek tilted, holding the oil-paper umbrella that could only shelter one person from the rain, shielding herself from the wind and rain.

Her clothes had long been wet by the rain.

Crystal clear water drops slid down her side face, making it increasingly difficult to see her face.

Bai Ning: "…………"

In the silence, a sigh sounded.

"How long have you been standing here?"

"Not a few minutes."

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Too much trouble."

"Aren't you cold?"

"Yeah."

Bai Ning: "..."

After another sigh, she reached out and grabbed the umbrella, trying to cover both of them.

"Give me the umbrella."

"..."

"Give me the umbrella."

"If you do that, we'll both get wet."

"Then let's get wet together."

The next second.

The umbrella was snatched away by Bai Ning and thrown to the ground.

She and Hei Ning were exposed to the heavy rain together.

The clothes gradually got soaked.

Hei Ning: "..."

This was the first time she felt that Bai Ning was more domineering than herself.

In the heavy rain.

Bai Ning and Hei Ning looked at each other without saying another word.

Until I don't know how long it had been.

The heavy rain gradually stopped.

Bai Ning asked the same question again: "Why didn't you wake me up?"

Hei Ning didn't choose to answer this time.

She knew Bai Ning had something else to say.

"You know, I have other things to do here."

Bai Ning said, picked up the tea set on the stone table, and walked to the top of the mountain.

Hei Ning followed her obediently.

"Master once told me that from the top of this mountain, you can see the entire Guiliji."

"I never took it seriously, so I never went to the top of the mountain."

"But I didn't expect that I came here today to mourn my old friend."

Bai Ning and Hei Ning came to the top of the mountain together.

Looking up, they saw that the sky was still white after the heavy rain.

Seemingly hearing something wrong with Bai Ning's tone, Hei Ning racked his brains and finally said a word of comfort.

"You... don't be too sad."

"No, I'm not sad, how could I be sad."

When Bai Ning heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

He spoke in a natural tone.

"They fight for the people of this land and for the peace of thousands of years in the future."

"They are heroes. I should be proud of them and happy for them."

Seeing that there seemed to be a ray of light on the horizon, Bai Ning used elemental power to create four medium-sized pits on the ground in front of him.

This is used as a grave for the dead souls.

After doing all this.

She took out four items from her arms and put them into the four earth pits in front of her in order.

"The person who wrote this letter is a high-spirited young man."

"Many people are afraid of the battlefield, but he is not afraid. Instead, he applies to be transferred to the front line again and again."

"It's interesting to say that every time he gets military merit, he doesn't think about any rewards, but writes to his family to share his joy."

"Unfortunately, this last letter to his family was not sent out in the end."

Bai Ning put a copy of the letter into the first earth pit.

Then took out the second item.

A purse filled with copper coins.

"She was a great sister."

"I still remember when I asked her why she went to the battlefield.

She said: My sister is seriously ill. I heard that you can make money here, so I want her to live."

"Until she died, she was still thinking about her sister and asked her companions to send their life savings to her sister who was far away."

"But she didn't expect that the companions she entrusted also died in the next war..."

After saying that, Bai Ning took out the third item.

A blooming glass lily.

"He is a romantic and responsible husband."

"He chose to join the war to protect his family."

"I heard from others that his wife likes glazed lilies very much."

"So every time the army camped, he would go looking for glazed lilies nearby whenever he had free time."

"He planned to collect them and take them back after victory."

"But what troubled him was that he had never seen glazed lilies in full bloom."

"He never solved this doubt until he died."

"But let me ask you, how could glazed lilies, which are used to hearing people's laughter and joy, choose to bloom on a battlefield filled with wailing?"

Bai Ning shook his head.

Take out the last item, the cloth bag filled with dust that he had been holding in his hand.

Put it in the fourth pit.

"She is Guizhong, the guardian of Guiliji, and also my master."

"She sacrificed herself to protect me and the survivors."

"I love her."

"I am proud to be her apprentice."

"But if time can be turned over again, I want to be that hero for her."

After completing these preparatory rituals.

Bai Ning stood up from the ground.

"They are either my soldiers or my beloved relatives."

"Some are in high positions, and some are only in their teens."

"But they all sacrificed themselves for this country that is about to be born, and fell on the eve of victory."

"Now I can find their relics, but they are not given to me when they were alive."

"Instead, they were passed from one person to another until all the people who passed them on died, and then they fell into my hands."

"Liyue owes them too much."

After saying this, Bai Ning was silent for a long time.

It seems that he is suppressing his emotions.

After a long while, she finally used the elemental power to bury the burial objects with soil.

"Heroic soul."

"May the morning sun illuminate the darkness on your way."

"Lead you home."

As Bai Ning finished speaking.

The sky in the distance had cleared up.

A few rays of sunlight fell on these new graves.

Under this scene.

She made a solemn oath.

"I will bring your relics to your relatives, no matter where they are."

"Then, rebuild our home."

This oath sounded sonorous and powerful.

But behind her.

Hei Ning clearly saw that her body was trembling slightly.

Suddenly, a look of heartache appeared in his eyes.

"But Jiang Ning, our Guiliji has disappeared."
