Chapter 10: Stay

''What a tragic story.'' Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info''

The old village chief spoke as calmly as flowing water, and was as sad as snow. Xia Yutong was really infected by his experience.

The old village chief sighed for a few breaths: "I used to think that I had done something that could make me proud for a lifetime, but in the end I was defeated by the meaningful word greed...... "Xia Yutong saw that the old man's eyes had been staring at the dim and high sky in the distance, and from time to time a few lonely birds flew by, Xia Yutong pouted and chewed his words repeatedly, but he still couldn't taste anything.

"You won't understand, young man. The old village chief shook his head, picked up his crutches and stood up to leave. Xia Yutong chased after him, "Then do you know where my brother is now?" Xia Yutong held his arm, his breathing and heartbeat became nervous: "He...... Is there any hope of being alive?"

"Again, young man. The old village chief didn't look at her: "Greed can kill people." He sighed and said nothing. ''Alright, it's getting dark, the two girls should have returned, go back, young man.'' Xia Yutong stopped where he was, watching the old village chief's rickety back disappear into the dusk. It was really getting dark, and from the depths of the sunset came the lonely, distorted, sour cries of a few birds.

......

Xia Yutong returned to the previous room, and the aroma of food came from inside. "Crunch---''' As soon as I opened the door, my aunt's slightly haggard and worried face appeared. An Ran was also there, complaining about Xia Yutong running around while serving bowls of food to the table. Xia Yutong sat on a small chair: "Where's Lauren?"

"I've slept for a day, and now this kid is not physically strong, what about the house, you go and bring him this sugar water." Xia Yutong walked into the house with sugar water. Lauren was resting in bed. "Sister, what did you do just now?" They said they couldn't find you......'' Xia Yutong fed him a spoonful of white sugar water: "Ask the village chief something." By the way, is my brother still alive?" Xia Yutong stirred the spoon in the bowl: "Drink your water, how do I know ......''

Lauren stopped asking his brother and said, "What about Zige? He just went out and never came back, did he go to you?"

Xia Yutong couldn't help but stop stirring in his hand, a little stunned.

Where is Qin Zige now?

Just now I ran out of the alley in anger, and I didn't care about Qin Zige behind me, oops, I was really careless, Xia Yutong patted his head, picked up the bowl and ran out of the house: I ran at the mouth of the alley just now, since I didn't come back, I must still be waiting...... "Auntie, I'll go find Qin Zige." Xia Yutong shouted as he lifted the curtain of the door. ''Yes, yes, go to him, this kid doesn't know where to go.'' Xia Yutong ran and recalled the angry words he had just said to him, hey, I was really careless, I said so many ugly words, it's strange that Qin Zige is not angry, where can I find it at this time? Xia Yutong ran to the mouth of the alley and stopped, "Whew, whew, puff, pant, but don't talk about Qin Zige, there is not even a person." It was pitch black, and there was no sound. What about people?

"You're not really angry, are you?''" Xia Yutong became nervous: "Why are you so careful......? I didn't mean to, get out of here. Xia Yutong shouted into the silent air, but she heard nothing but her own echo. A gust of wind blew from nowhere, and it penetrated into the bone marrow, Xia Yutong was so cold that he shrunk his body into his clothes, and shouted as he walked forward: "Qin Zige, where are you?" It was terrifyingly dark on all sides, only the dim lights of each house had a little light, and the village seemed to be dead.

It's over, this guy, won't ...... Really angry, right?

What's more, Qin Zige seemed to be very uncomfortable just now, and he kept covering his chest, could he have .......

Xia Yutong was so nervous that she began to think crankily, and she even thought that Qin Zige might have fainted in a corner of the village that she couldn't see. Xia Yutong sat down on a long chair, curled up, and looked around worriedly while recalling what he had just said......

''Qin Zige, you are really excessive, bad. ‘’

''Don't make a fuss, okay?''

........... Qin Zige, are you really angry with me?

The sky is getting darker and darker, Xia Yutong's heart is also trembling and terrifying, she rubbed her frozen hands, and looked at the horizon that had darkened in the distance, "Hey, Qin Zige, where have you gone, come out quickly......" Xia Yutong's voice trembled a little, and he hugged his trembling shoulders with his arms, the house in front of him was already immersed in black, the illusory shadow was very terrifying, Xia Yutong couldn't see what was under his feet at all, and the grass in front of him sounded, "Qin Zige?" Xia Yutong shrank into his clothes, "Shasha" stepped on the grass under his feet, and walked to the corner. "Hey, are you here?" Xia Yutong's heart tightened little by little, getting closer and closer to the dark grass. "Oops-" Xia Yutong stumbled under her feet, and rushed to the dark ground, dragging her waist with a force: "Little goblin, let me see your ugly appearance......

Qin ...... Qin Zige?

Xia Yutong slowly stood firm, Qin Zige was behind her and hugged her shoulders, his face was so pale from the cold, his lips were not bloody, and he still had such a poisonous expression, Xia Yutong raised his little fist and waved at him, and he held it strongly: "Hey, what are you doing, little goblin, are you still angry? Qin Zige said in surprise while grabbing her fist and hiding around.

Xia Yutong's teeth were clenched, her eyes were covered with a layer of sparkling tears, Qin Zige looked at her and slowly put down her hand: "What's wrong? Xia Yutong's head was lowered, she was cold and afraid, she was used to seeing Qin Zige's poisonous tongue, and she didn't want to lose it, although it didn't belong to her.

Qin Zige hugged her shoulders tightly when he saw her shivering, but she was thin and pitiful, her cold red hands rubbed around uneasily, Qin Zige held her hand and called for her warmth, but his breath was also so cold, as if he was weak. "Why are you gasping for breath so cold?" Xia Yutong raised his head, his big eyes were red. "Do you care about me?" Qin Zige looked so uncomfortable, still so venomous.

"It's boring. ”

Xia Yutong and Qin Zige slowly walked away, but Xia Yutong didn't care that Qin Zige was weaker every minute than the last, his breath became colder and colder, and his palms lost their warmth......
