Chapter 9 — My Best Friends and I Go Back to Ancient Times

Thinh Lang Han and Thinh Minh Thua no one believed that Cao Thu Nhan and Cao Du Tiep had really disappeared. The people around wanted to talk again, but in the end they all remained silent. Half a day later, Imperial Court officially declared war on the barbarians. The young general fought for three consecutive nights, broke through the city gate, and pressed straight into the barbarian country. The counterattack was a great victory, outside the barracks were filled with wine and meat to reward the three armies. At this time, in the general's camp... Thinh Minh Thua was leaning on the bed. The young general's eyes were starry, his body still had the bloody aura of the great war. He lowered his eyes and looked at the skewer of jade gourd candy in his hand, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Tieu Tiep, wait for me... I will come to save you right away."

Without knowing, the jar of wine was empty. There was a faint sound of singing coming into the tent, Thinh Minh Thua's drunk eyes immediately lit up.

“Tieu Tiep…”

He followed the sound of singing, quickly rushed out of the barracks, and chased all the way to the forest outside the barracks. The person he longed for day and night, now tied to a tree trunk, looked at him with tears in his eyes:

“Thinh Minh Thua, save me!”

Thinh Minh Thua was anxious to save people, not paying attention to the surrounding movements. As soon as he stepped forward, behind "Cao Du Tiep" suddenly appeared dozens of men in black holding crossbows. In the blink of an eye, countless arrows shot straight towards him. Thinh Minh Thua quickly avoided it, but seeing "Cao Du Tiep" being strangled in pain, he was immediately stunned. The poisoned arrow immediately pierced his arm, cutting through his cheek.

“Let her go!”

Thinh Minh Thua frantically rushed through the rain of arrows, arriving in front of "Cao Du Tiep". His whole body was full of blood holes, like a spider lily blooming in the dark night on a black shirt. He was in pain, but still smiled as he stood before her:

"Tieu Tiep... I know... she's not dead..."

"Actually, I always wanted... to be with you..."

But "Cao Du Tiep" in front of him looked at him coldly. She directly grabbed the arrow stuck in his chest and forcefully pulled it out.

“What a pity... Cao Du Tiep is dead!”

“Her body has also been burned, not even the bones are left!”

Murong Tuyet Niem threw the human skin mask to the ground, revealing her swollen face full of horrifying scars.

“It's you?!”

Thinh Minh Thua seemed to have lost all his strength and knelt down.

"It's me! You didn't expect me to still be alive, right?"

Murong Tuyet Niem's eyes were full of hatred. As if her anger had not yet subsided, she continuously pulled out a few more arrows from his body, smiling cruelly:

“Don't ever see that bastard again in your life!”

The young general was once so brave, but now his eyes were red from tears. He looked desperately at the maniacally laughing person in front of him, suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck, using the last of his strength to break her neck. The laughter suddenly stopped. Thinh Minh Thua looked up at the brightest star in the night sky, then fell heavily in a pool of blood. ＜Chapter 13＞ On the streets of the Ten Moon Kingdom, whether merchants or passersby wore strange and brilliant costumes, making the whole street colorful. This place has a free lifestyle, new things of all kinds, and jewels are displayed everywhere. Thinh Lang Han walked on the street, looking at the mysterious iron brooch in his hand, a gentle look flashed in his eyes:

“Ah Nhan, this place is much more unique than the capital, no wonder you Like this place.”

After speaking, he carefully held the brooch in his palm. Seeing the uniquely shaped breakfast cakes, he thought that A Nhan often liked to eat these dishes with tea after lunch, so he took out two silver bars and told the seller to pack all the best ones. At that moment, the sound of children laughing was suddenly heard from behind. Thinh Lang Han turned his head to look, a shadow of a green shirt suddenly fell into his sight. The cake in his hand fell to the ground. He rushed forward and grabbed her soft little hand, excitedly calling her name, his voice trembling:

“A Nhan…”

The girl regained consciousness and looked at him in surprise. The unfamiliar face fell into his eyes, Thinh Lang Han panicked and let go, his voice full of loss:

"Sorry miss, I was rude."

The girl didn't have time to argue, picked up her skirt and ran after the child in front:

“Hi Nhi, come back quickly!”

A horse carriage rushed forward. Hy Nhi stood in the middle of the road, looking at the approaching carriage and panicking. Seeing that, Thinh Lang Han immediately rushed forward to pick up the child, almost being swept away by horse hooves. The girl ran to hug her child, gratefully saying:

"Thank you sir for saving Hy Nhi."

But at this time Thinh Lang Han could no longer hear any sound. He bent down to pick up the mysterious brooch and rolled it over on the wheel. He looked at it deformed and was lost.

“This is a brooch made from profound iron… how is it possible…”

Besides, a woman's voice rang out.

“My husband specializes in making jewelry, I can help you take a look.”

Thinh Lang Han raised his head to look at her, a ray of hope flashed in his eyes, but still a bit hesitant.

“Don't worry, our shop is right there. Young master, just give me the brooch. Tomorrow morning, young master Mao can come and pick it up."

The woman pointed to a jewelry store not far ahead.

“It's annoying.”

In the end, Thinh Lang Han still gave the mysterious iron brooch to her. At night, Thinh Lang Han returned empty-handed to his room in the inn. He took a pen and wrote down what he saw today. After finishing writing, he put the letter in an envelope, right in the middle of the envelope he wrote:

“To my wife, Thu Nhan”

Then carefully tuck the letter into his shirt. He raised his head and looked at two large chests filled with jewelry, cakes and all kinds of things, smiled and said:

“A Nhan, you haven't come back yet, the trunk I brought is about to no longer contain it.”

... The next day, the second lady in the inn took advantage of her free time to chat with guests and go out for breakfast. Said that the inn had a very strange guest who went out at night without sleeping, and the next morning returned with injuries. That person is Thinh Lang Han. Last night, under curfew in the city, he went out to search all night, but could not find any trace of Cao Thu Nhan. Accidentally, he was bitten by a wild beast at night and injured his arm. He wrapped the bandage round after round around his hand. Looking at the white ribbon he was wrapping haphazardly, he couldn't help but laugh:

“A Nhan, if you come back now, you will definitely blame me for being careless, and then apply the medicine yourself again.”

He suddenly thought of something and immediately stood up.

“Brooch!”

Thinh Lang Han ignored the wound that had not yet been treated and rushed to the jewelry store. The woman yesterday was busy in the shop. Seeing Thinh Lang Han, she was stunned for a moment, then took out a wooden box and gave it to him.

“Sorry…”

She was full of guilt said:

"My husband said that this brooch was previously burned by fire. Even if it was profound iron, it was destroyed and cannot be restored."

Thinh Lang Han opened the box and saw the deformed brooch still lying inside. Even though it is distorted, there is still the possibility of repair... But the woman continued, as if extinguishing the last ray of hope in him:

“If you get hit again, it will immediately turn into fine dust.”

…

“No way… absolutely impossible!”

Thinh Lang Han absent-mindedly lifted the brooch in his palm and left the shop with heavy footsteps. A Nhan once said, as long as the brooch is still there, the person is still alive. As long as he can fix the brooch, A Nhan will return to him... ... The sunlight outside the shop was blinding, but for some reason he felt cold all over his body. It was like the only thing that could warm him... was slowly disappearing.

“A Nhan, if you don't come back, I will pull out all the flowers in the yard!”

It sounded like a threat, but his voice sounded like he was gently comforting. A gust of wind blew, and the brooch that he was holding tightly suddenly fell to the ground. As soon as the profound iron brooch touched the ground, it shattered into countless iron dust. Thinh Lang Han was stunned for a moment, kneeling down in panic, wanting to pick up the broken pieces. But a hurricane swept past, and the iron dust immediately dissolved into the air. He reached out to grab it, but couldn't hold anything.

"A Nhan... don't go... don't..."

Just then, the rain poured down, instantly washing away every last trace on the ground. Thinh Lang Han clutched his chest in pain, a mouthful of blood spurted out. Darkness gradually covered his eyes. The light that once belonged to him... will never stop again. … Confirming that Cao Thu Nhan and Cao Du Tiep were at rest, my best friend and I were brought back to the original world by the system. Luckily, my best friend and I were injured but did not lose any arms or legs. Furthermore, because of the car accident, the insurance company also compensated us a huge amount of money. My best friend and I used money to upgrade our hospital rooms to VIP rooms. After several months of recuperation, both finally fully recovered. Before that, we had already made a plan: When we get well, we will go around the world, all routes have been prepared in extreme detail. So, the day we got home from the hospital, the first thing we did was pack our luggage. The second thing is to buy a plane ticket to fly directly to Saint Petersburg. I believe that the future still has a lot of fun waiting for me and my best friend.
