There are many paths in life, and it is important to choose which one.

Many years later, when Lin Xiangwan told Ye Nan about this incident as a legend, he would always secretly wonder if a small decision would affect countless important moments in the future, such as a butterfly flapping its wings, which would cause a tsunami.

It's just that at that time, she wasn't in the mood, to think about these haves and not, she and Chu Di clasped hands and stood in front of the fork in the road, in fact, they all knew that no matter which one they chose, for them, the chance of life was very small, but they were not desperate at all, as if they had already expected what would happen, what people would come, and save them from fire and water.

"You choose, in short, there is no turning back. If you really catch up, you will accept your fate. "Chu Di encountered a similar thing in Burma, the people of the two villages, in the eyes of outsiders, look exactly the same, even the tone of speech is the same, but they hate it so much, as long as they see the people of the other village, they must be killed, whether he is a man or a woman, old or young.

This kind of racial hatred is also very common in Africa, and the seeds of hatred are already buried in their hearts when they are young.

They never asked what such slaughter was for, they just raised their butcher knives.

Lin Xiangwan glanced at Chu Di, didn't say much, and took a firm step forward, but at this moment, not far from the fork in the road, there was a slight sound of footsteps.

Lin Xiangwan's heartbeat suddenly began to overspeed again, and she held Chu Di's hand tightly, her palms were wet with sweat.

Chu Di's muscles tensed all over his body, and it seemed that he was planning to fight hard.

The footsteps were intermittent, but they were getting closer and closer, and just when Chu Di almost couldn't help but rush over, a dirty but somewhat familiar little face appeared in front of Lin Xiangwan's eyes.

"Hey, don't fight, I know him. Lin Xiangwan stopped Chu Di at once and didn't let him rush forward. The young man he met at the door of the Tibetan knife shop tilted his head to look at Lin Xiangwan, and then recognized her as well. "Sister, why are you still outside? It's so messy outside, get out of here quickly. ”

The boy was born and raised in Tibet, so he naturally would not be affected, but the bloody cases that happened on the road made him feel cold, so he temporarily stopped his pilgrimage, trying to find a secluded place to hide, but he didn't expect to meet Lin Xiangwan and them.

"I want to leave too, but there's someone behind...... They had knives and we had nowhere to hide. Lin Xiangwan smiled bitterly, looking at the young man's appearance, the Tibetan robe on his body was stained with blood, it could be seen that the road he came from was not safe, what should they do?

After listening to Lin Xiangwan's words, a trace of sadness flashed in his clean eyes, he looked behind them for a moment, and then decisively pulled Lin Xiangwan to run in another direction. "Follow me. ”

The further you go down the alley, the narrower it becomes, like a sheep's intestine, and only one person can pass through. The young man neatly walked in it until he brought Lin Xiangwan and them to a dilapidated wooden shed, "Hurry up and hide in it, if I don't come back, you must not come out." I stayed here the other day and it was quiet and no one could find it. ”

He lives here and no one has found him, because the streets have not yet been chaotic, and his own identity does not allow others to suspect him, but now......

"Then what should you do?" Lin Xiangwan saw that the young man was about to leave, and grabbed him.

The young man smiled, "I'll go outside and take a look, it's okay, sister, you don't have to worry, there is an auspicious day to bless me, it will be fine." ”

The wooden shed was very narrow, and Lin Xiangwan and Chu Di had to hug each other so that they could barely hide inside. Suddenly jumping out of the chaotic environment, the silence around makes people feel even more uneasy.

"You said they, will they be found?" Lin Xiangwan asked Chu Di in a low voice, in this case, talking is more reassuring than silence. If she kept silent, she would probably not be able to control herself and rush out.

Chu Di gently squeezed her hand, "Definitely not." We will be safe. Don't worry. ”

Lin Xiangwan nodded, but her heart was still uneasy, she suddenly thought of the words of the owner of the hidden knife shop, or the young man's suspicions? If he lured those people over, then wouldn't she and Chu Di become meat on the board and be slaughtered.

No, it won't. This thought only then rose in his heart, and Lin Xiangwan immediately suppressed it.

At this time, she must not scare herself, otherwise, before the bad guy arrives, she will collapse first.

Although Lin Xiangwan didn't dare to say how accurate she was in seeing people, she had gone through a lot of things over the years, and she must have seen it when she looked away, but there was never such an outrageous situation. She believed in that young man, and she believed that her and Chu Di's lives would not be so bad!

Chu Di seemed to guess what Lin Xiangwan was thinking, and he used force on his hand again, so that she cast her eyes from the gap in the wooden shed to him, he opened his mouth and said to her in a breathy voice, "Don't think too much, believe in yourself and believe in him, Ye Nan is waiting for us to go back, we won't let him down!"

His gaze was eager and firm, with infinite power, which quieted Lin Xiangwan's restless heart. She rested her head against his chest, and heard the stumble of footsteps and roars outside, getting closer and closer, almost a thin plank of wood from them.

Although the language was unfamiliar, the anger mixed with it was very real, and six or seven young men, with their shiny steel knives in their hands, cursed loudly, and the sharp blades brushed the thin boards of the wooden shed, leaving white marks on them.

The little hut trembled lightly, as if it was going to fall down at any moment.

Lin Xiangwan hugged Chu Di tightly, in his arms, Lin Xiangwan almost heard her heartbeat, she clasped her hands on her chest, for fear that such a fierce voice would also be heard by people outside. Chu Di kissed her forehead, the nervousness in his heart was no less than half a point of hers, in this case, to say that he was not afraid, it was absolute nonsense.

Who can not be afraid of their own life in the hands of others? The happiness that was finally obtained, but is threatened by the danger that is close at hand, who can be so free? He is injured or he dies, it doesn't matter, but Lin Xiangwan can't be injured, he can't see her injured in front of his eyes, that's more unacceptable than cutting him with a knife and a thousand knives.

But no matter how much uneasiness he has, he can't show it. Because of the woman in his arms, he is now the only one to rely on. He had to be strong, he had to pass on his strength to her. So Chu Diqiang suppressed the apprehension in his heart, he silently stroked Lin Xiangwan's back and kissed her forehead.

His lips were chapped and chapped due to dehydration, and the rough and burning feeling made Lin Xiangwan feel extremely relieved, she raised her head in a trembling voice, and saw Chu Di say a few words to her lips.

He said, don't be afraid, I'm here, Ah Wan, I love you.

Bastard, do you have to choose such a time to confess? What does he want her to answer? Lin Xiangwan was inexplicably annoyed, angry, but he didn't feel scared anymore. It's just that the eyes are itchy, like something is about to leak out.

The men outside became agitated and violent because they couldn't find their target, and they aimlessly slammed their steel knives at the small wooden shed, destroying everything in their sight.

Just when Lin Xiangwan felt that the thin board of the wooden shed was about to be broken by them, she suddenly heard the young man's urgent call.

They were talking loudly in a language she didn't understand, and the men seemed to suddenly become agitated, as if they were praising the boys, and then walked away in twos and threes.

Just when the sound of their footsteps was so far away that it was almost inaudible, the door of the wooden shed also let out a wail at this time, and it was completely shattered.

Lin Xiangwan collapsed to the ground, her hands and feet were so soft that she couldn't even move, Chu Di and the boy worked together to drag her out. The young man smiled at her, a sly glint flashing in his clear eyes, "I lured them away, they are far away, they will not come back, you wait here a little longer, I will go out and have a look." It will be dark in a few moments, and they will be scattered, and it will be safe for you to go again. ”

After the young man finished speaking, he didn't seem to feel that it was enough, and he continued to Lin Xiangwan apologetically, "I'm really sorry to let you go through this...... They're not really bad people......"

They are not bad people, they have treasures that they want to protect, which is why they raise their butcher knives.

Lin Xiangwan stiffened and smiled at him, "I don't know if they're bad people, but you must not be." Auspicious day, I will definitely bless you. “

The riots in the streets were quelled by the army after a few hours, but the damage it caused lasted for months or years. When Chu Di took Lin Xiangwan to pass by the smashed-up shops, he heard a sharp and mournful cry from inside, and the blackened ruins were like a baptism of war.

The young man lowered his head and walked briskly in front, he did not speak, and his clear eyes seemed to be covered with a faint layer of dust.

At seven o'clock that night, Lin Xiangwan and Chu Di finally returned to the hotel after several tosses, their bodies were stained, their faces were also black and white, and the whole person looked extremely tired, but they didn't complain anything, because they knew that some people would never come back. Their relatives can no longer wait for their news, their journey ends here, and their souls can never return home.

Lin Xiangwan wanted to keep the young man to live with him, after all, it was still very chaotic outside, but the young man shook his head, he pointed to the holy white building in the distance and said to Lin Xiangwan, "I haven't gone to see the living Buddha yet, my road will continue." ”

Then, he left, disappearing into the messy and dilapidated streets, not even giving Lin Xiangwan a chance to ask his name.
