The walls of the house were low, and the cramped room contained only a worn-out bed, and a glimmer of light in the smoky corners of the walls that was about to go out added a bit of warmth to the airy room on all sides.

Headache, headache as always.

I can't tell how many times I woke up in a strange place, as if after Xi Hao left, there was no place for this world, no matter where he was, his heart was empty.

He sat up with his forehead propped up, looking at where he was with bloodshot eyes. The house is very dark, but you can also get a glimpse of its simplicity, it seems that he was not thrown out of the restaurant by the second brother yesterday.

He sighed softly, brushed away the hair that covered his face, and sat down on the edge of the bed with his body propped up.

The wound on his chest has not yet healed, because of his alcoholism, but also because of his indulgence, he was such a free and easy person, the rolling red dust is just a game for him, he once said a warning to the flawless so transparently, but after giving all his emotions, he found that he was the same.

Love, it turns out to be really astringent. Obviously, as long as you love each other, it's fine, but there are always some unavoidable things mixed in, no matter how hard you try, you can't control it, and you can't be thoughtful. Or perhaps, it was because he hadn't done enough to make Xi Hao's trust reserved, otherwise how could he go so silently and leave no room!

The heart hurts, more than a crossbow arrow penetrates, more than gunpowder burns the body, more painful than struggling on the edge of life and death, and the skin is uncovered layer after layer, obviously there is only a scar left, but why is it still so painful?

Wine......

"Wine—"

Yes, wine! As soon as you get drunk and fall, the pain will be gone!

As if his body had been burned again, he stumbled out of bed with his arms crossed, and his heart was full of desire to be paralyzed by spirits. The crooked ten fingers left blood-red marks on his arms, but he didn't feel it at all, he muttered to the door and opened the door, and the moment he stepped out, he realized that he was not in the restaurant, or even in any part of the city.

Outside the door was covered with snow, and a small stream meandered down the bluestone slab in front of the door into the distance, and he looked back in surprise to see a very simple thatched house behind him.

"Are you awake? I came back with something to eat. The sound of a bell came from the front, and when he heard the voice, he saw a graceful figure.

"Your coat is dirty, I'll help you wash and dry it, put it on the table, it's snowing outside, it's cold, come in." ”

The woman's legs and feet were not very good, and she seemed to have some difficulty passing by him, and after she had finished speaking, she went straight to the door, and lingered in place for a moment before turning back and following in.

"The buns are still hot, there is water by the fire pit, you sit down and eat, and I will pour water for you." The woman put down her things to pour hot water, but lingering only picked up the coat on the table, thought about it, took out the money bag from her bosom and threw it on the table.

"Where are you going?" the woman was alarmed by the sound, and when she turned around and saw that she was about to leave, she hurriedly got up and chased after her.

Lingering footsteps paused, but did not speak.

"I don't want your stuff. ”

Lan Mian glanced behind him slightly, and continued to pull his legs and walk out.

"I said, I don't want your things!" the woman seemed to be a little angry, grabbed the money bag and chased it out of the door, and raised her hand to hit the lingering in the back.

"You took me in last night, and it's a thank you. After lingering and continuing to leave, the woman became more and more annoyed, picked up the money bag on the ground and stepped forward, blocking lingering in front of her eyes.

"I don't need handouts. You take this money back, although my Mei Xiaoxi is also down now, it will not come to this point. ”

The cool stream wet the soles of his shoes, which rarely made Lingering a little sober, he looked down at the money bag in his hand, and then looked back at Mei Xiaoxi's staggering figure.

She......

Angry.

"Smack-"

The slippery stone slab made Mei Xiaoxi fall, she didn't say anything, only stubbornly propped herself up, limped in the direction of the hut, looked at it silently for a long time, and finally moved and left.

The firewood in the fire pit was a little higher, and the flames became bigger, and Mei Xiaoxi sat by the fire, holding her knees with her hands, in a daze.

I don't know how many places I've walked through, and there is still no news about Merry and Bai Yan, and neither is Flawless. In fact, I really don't know if they are still in this world, so aimless searching, the hope is so slim that it makes people desperate and collapsed......

But I can't let go!

Even if you only have your last breath left, you must continue to look for it! Maybe when you get old, you can't walk anymore, you can't remember anymore, you will stop......

Tears soaked her sleeves, and Mei Xiaoxi buried her head in her arms.

But it's really tiring......

When I woke up from the valley, I don't know how long it had been, I had no concept of time, and two days passed in a drowsy state, because my leg fell and I couldn't move, and the distance from the bottom of the valley to the outside of the mountain was not a long distance, and I climbed out all the way, and when I was finally able to barely stand, I returned to the town full of hope, but what I saw was a sea of fire!

The flames were so high that they seemed to pierce the sky, and all the people of the town were piled up in one place and set on fire! The smell is still disgusting, and the once living people have disappeared without leaving a trace! Who has such a right to wipe out everything?

It can only be a court that can blatantly clean up the mess!

I don't dare to trust anyone anymore, so I can only hide and wait for them to leave, and then try to keep myself alive!

"Why...... Why didn't I die at the same time...... In this way, there is no need to live alone......" sobs echoed in the room, and the belief that had been supported by it gradually collapsed in the pursuit, and Mei Xiaoxi bit the back of her hand and pressed back the pain and tears with all her might.

She knew that one day she would not be able to stand it and break down, so she never let herself rest, and after leaving Hakuba, she did odd jobs all the way to support herself, not giving herself time to think about anything. She had just been here for a few days, and the thatched hut had long been uninhabited, so she packed up and settled down, and yesterday she went to the restaurant to help cook, and overheard the words that lingered and read out.

It was her husband's favorite poem, from the Book of Songs, her husband once said that he wanted to grow old with her and never leave in this life, but in the end he died in Changsu, thousands of miles away, and she didn't even see his last face......!

"Life and death are broad, and Zicheng said. Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. Yu is broad, not I live. Yu Xun Xi, I don't believe it......"

Merry, are you still alive or not? Can you give me a response......

"Tsk, why are you drunk here again? Miss Xiaoxi, you big brother, he-"

"He was seriously injured and his heart was painful, so he used wine to numb himself, Brother Liu, I will take him home. ”

The rainy night was hazy, and the bone-chilling cold snap made people shiver, and Mei Xiaoxi used all her strength to support the still drunk lingering and walked in the direction of the thatched house. She didn't know what this man had encountered, maybe he wasn't like this before, maybe he used to have a good skin and elegance under the scars all over his body, and now that he had encountered unbearable changes in his life, how could he sit idly by and watch him despair.

Perhaps, he also lost the love of his life......

"Merry, what are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at ......"

The only bright star in the night sky, Xiao Xi said, it was her favorite one, but the star was still there, and she ......

But it's gone!
