Chapter 208 Night Chapter
Chapter 208 Night Chapter
Xiao Jin was buried in the cemetery of this city.
Song Yufeng watched the coffin being buried in the ground, and his weakness was buried in the ground with it.
Xiao Cai looked at the coffin without saying a word. After returning to Killin City, she seemed to have returned to her lively and cheerful state, but there seemed to be something missing in her smile.
Song Yufeng knew that every time Xiao Cai lay in bed alone to sleep at night, he would hear her sobbing.
Xiao Cai needs comfort. For an underage girl, seeing her companions leave one after another over a few years is a heavy blow.
The same goes for myself. Of the four people at the beginning, only Xiao Cai is left.
After Song Yufeng returned to Jilin City, he was very busy organizing personnel to defend the line. Of course, it was impossible to really defend it, after all, it could not be stopped. It could only be said that it was to delay time to complete Song Yufeng's plan.
This time, the defense of Qie City can be said to have dealt a real blow to Ursus. The Ursus army suffered losses of more than 300,000 men, and the two armies were almost beaten to the point where only their numbers were left. Of course, these 300,000 men included those captured by Minghuang.
Minghuang also suffered heavy losses, with losses of more than 80,000 ordinary troops. Fortunately, the Minghuang Imperial Guards suffered little losses, only about 10,000 people, and many of them were newcomers. Generally speaking, the foundation of the main force was not damaged, which was still within an acceptable range.
But even so, the pensions that should be paid must still be paid.
In addition, the army must be expanded and manpower must be organized to recruit soldiers, especially new members of the Minghuang Forbidden Army, but the quality must not be reduced while expanding the scale.
After finishing all this, it was already late at night.
He sighed and walked upstairs. When he passed Xiao Cai's room, he heard Xiao Cai sobbing.
Song Yufeng felt bad too. He sighed, then knocked on the door and said, "Xiao Cai, I left something in your room. Can I go in and get it?"
Xiao Cai's sobbing stopped, and then Song Yufeng heard footsteps.
Then the door was opened and Xiao Cai stuck her head out. Song Yufeng saw that her nose and eyes were red, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Then I'll come in." Song Yufeng said. Xiao Cai nodded and opened the door.
After Song Yufeng came in, Xiao Cai retreated back into the quilt. Song Yufeng said, "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"I can't sleep." Xiao Cai said.
Then she felt someone hugging her from behind.
"Brother Song?" Xiao Cai turned around and met Song Yufeng's eyes.
"I can't sleep either. Maybe we both have something on our minds. You can tell me. Maybe you'll fall asleep if you tell me." Song Yufeng said gently.
"Brother Song..." Xiao Cai buried her head in Song Yufeng's arms and cried, "I don't understand... Obviously, we all agreed to be lifelong friends... but they all left me... leaving me alone. Xiao Jin also said that after saving this land, she would do many things with me... but she... Brother Song..."
Xiao Cai finally couldn't help crying. Song Yufeng stroked her head gently and then hugged her tightly in his arms.
"I know, I know, Xiao Cai, you have suffered..." Song Yufeng blamed himself in his heart. He might be able to convince himself, but people can't come back after all.
Xiao Cai cried even more sadly. This was the first time she had cried so hard in several years, as if all the pain she had suffered in the past few years was contained in it.
Xiao Cai cried for a long time. Perhaps she was tired of crying, so she just sobbed slightly, but still hugged Song Yufeng tightly.
"Brother Song..." Xiao Cai raised her head and looked at Song Yufeng. Her eyes were filled with sadness, loneliness, helplessness, and a calmness as if her heart was dead.
Song Yufeng's heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle. He said, "I'm..."
"Please don't leave me one day. You are all I have left. You are all I have left..." Xiao Cai couldn't help but shed tears again.
Song Yufeng's eyes were also blurred. He hugged Xiao Cai and said tremblingly: "I made a promise with you. I will never, ever abandon you..."
