Chapter Seventy-Two: It's Good to Be Alive
"I, I'm fine..."I replied to Ma Xiaoling in an inaudible voice, regardless of whether she heard it or not.
The pain in my body seemed to tear my whole body apart, and I didn't even have the strength to get up, Ma Xiaoling's face in front of me was getting more and more blurred, as if her consciousness was slowly becoming blurred, I didn't know if I was going to die, only the heart-rending pain told me that I was still alive.
Ma Xiaoling tried her best to help me up, but found that I was like a puddle of mud, as if I had no bones, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull me up from the ground, so she had to give up and squat down instead, let me lean on her thigh, and try my best to make me more comfortable.
At this time, my position is just opposite to the door that I split the door, the sun that has been slowly setting can just shine in from the outside, Ma Xiaoling and I entered 401 when it was only about 12 o'clock, the sun just hung in the air, until now I only think it was not a long time, I didn't expect that now the sun is close to setting, it turns out that the two of us have been with the blood demon for so long, so lucky we are still alive.
Golden sunlight poured in through the open door, partially obscured by the coffin in front of it, with only a small amount of sunlight shining on the two of them.
I squinted, so that the sunlight would not be too direct to the eyes, but reluctant to close the eyes directly, this moment only to find that the sun was so lovely, at this moment, as if the whole world had become quiet, even the sound of the two of them seemed to disappear, and I, without thinking about anything, quietly lived in the quiet world I imagined, quietly enjoying the warmth of the sun.
Neither of them spoke, but just enjoyed the tranquility of this moment as if they had a tacit understanding, and I had an illusion: the current Ma Xiaoling and I, together in the sunshine of the rest of our lives after the catastrophe, depend on each other.
"Why did you save me?" After a long time, Ma Xiaoling broke the tranquility, and unlike the anxiety just now, Ma Xiaoling was unusually dull now.
"I'm happy. I grinned, looking unusually chic in the sun, even if the smile directly hurt the wound.
Ma Xiaoling was silent.
I knew that when she said to save her, she meant that I had just pushed her away and blocked her for her, when the coffin was towards her, and I was on the opposite side, I could have stayed out of it, or even run away from the door, but I didn't, even at the risk of losing my life, and blocked a blow for her, a person who was infinitely close to a stranger.
In fact, I don't know why I chose to block it for her without hesitation, I am not so great, I can be so great that I can fight for someone who has nothing to do with me, but now there is no doubt that I did almost lose my life for her.
I don't know, I don't need to know, even if I do it all over again, I will choose to save her, it's paradoxical, there's no reason, but it seems so natural.
"Why didn't you hide just now? Did you deliberately want to kill me?" I looked at Ma Xiaoling and asked my doubts, at that time Ma Xiaoling seemed to be scared stupid, motionless, originally I thought she was scared stupid, but now that I think about it, it is not like it at all, Ma Xiaoling dares to come to 401 alone in the middle of the night, and she is a Taoist priest who hunts ghosts, so it is impossible to be scared stupid, so I asked her, there is no blame, just real doubts.
"I don't know, it seems to be controlled by the blood demon again like last night, my mind is very clear, but my body is not controlled at all. Ma Xiaoling thought about what had just happened, then lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry." ”
"It's okay, you didn't mean to. I looked at Ma Xiaoling, who lowered her head and happened to be looking at me at Ma Xiaoling, with a relieved smile.
Although I also knew that Ma Xiaoling definitely didn't mean it, when I heard her personally say the situation at the time, that she was controlled by the blood demon, I was still very happy in my heart, and there were things that I understood to be completely different from the meaning of what she said herself.
I recalled my answer to Ma Xiaoling, and it seemed that my attitude was no longer like the cold me on the battlefield before, and for some reason, my attitude towards Cheng Xiaoyu woke up, Yang Chen and others was much softer.
During this time, I didn't think about anything, or I didn't have time to think about it, until I really calmed down and thought about it, and I thought of my own changes from Ma Xiaoling, maybe I have really changed now, I have become more forward-looking, or I am more concerned, and these people have slowly become the people I care about in my heart, and I have slowly integrated into the city.
Lying in Ma Xiaoling's arms, I smiled, this kind of caring and motivated life is really good, no matter how hard and tired it is.
It's good to be alive!
"Anyway, thank you. Half paid, Ma Xiaoling said, moved, sincere, this is quite similar to her character, meticulous and serious.
"You're not as good as you just now when you're serious. "I didn't say anything like that, but I didn't answer the joke I asked.
"Why do you talk so much, doesn't it hurt?" Ma Xiaoling looked at me and teased her while trembling in pain, and asked suspiciously.
"Oops, oops, it hurts me to death, you and I are blowing?" I pretended to be in pain and looked at Ma Xiaoling pitifully.
I thought Ma Xiaoling wouldn't pay attention to me, but I didn't expect her to really lower her head and blow lightly on a broken spot on my forehead.

The two of them were talking about marginal topics on this afternoon after nine deaths, but they seemed so warm.
