Sometimes one has to make a choice, a crucial one. Maybe it's painful, maybe it's outrageous, but that's your own choice, no one is forcing you, no one can stop you, in other words, since you've made a choice, how can you let someone else stop you?

It's pitch black, everywhere you look, it's chilling, it's outrageously black. The temperature around me is also constantly dropping, and it is slightly cold.

The boy squinted, as if he saw a light in the depths of the darkness, and that light was attracting him and guiding him on. The boy was stunned for a moment, and then walked towards the light.

Slowly opening his eyes, the light around him was unusually dazzling, the young man rubbed his eyes and sat up and looked around and wondered, "Where is this?" ”

The sunlight was unusually dazzling, and the sound of water could be heard in my ears.

The young man looked at this empty land and was a little puzzled, this is still Qifeng Mountain, he has been wandering here for three years, but the young man in front of him has never even seen it, it should be said that this place that can shine on the sun The young man has never been here.

"Yo! You're awake, boy. In an instant, a soft greeting sounded in the young man's ears.

The boy suddenly turned his head mechanically and saw a man in a black robe with a face and sunglasses. His black robe was very long, covering almost his entire body, even his head, the only thing that could be seen was a face, but his face was because he was wearing sunglasses, so he couldn't see the person's appearance. But the boy knows one thing, that is, this man is definitely not a good person, is the person who comes out blindly dressed like this a good person? It's impossible, if it's not a bad guy, it should be a lost patient in a neurological hospital!

"Who are you? How am I here? Although there was a strong vigilance in his heart, the boy couldn't help but ask.

"Don't you recognize me? You came to me on your own. The man tilted his head and said to the boy with a smile.

"I walked to you myself?" The young man pondered for a while, and suddenly he couldn't help but shout from what had just happened, "Ah!!! It's you! You're that exhibitionist! ”

The corners of the man's mouth twitched, and he coughed lightly and said straightly: "Please, I'm obviously taking a shower, how can you say I'm an exhibitionist?" And I saved you! Is that how you treat your savior? ”

"Savior, are you my savior?" The young man stared at the man in front of him with wide eyes, a little incredulous.

"Of course it's me, otherwise you think you'll be sitting here talking without anything!" As he spoke, the man opened his arm lightly, and suddenly firewood fell from under his black robe.

Hearing the man say this, the boy looked at the bundle of straps on his body and the right hand that was held up by a wooden stick.

The young man looked at these bandages all over his body, looked at the man with some disbelief and said, "Are you doing all this?" ”

"Hmm!" The man whispered in response, picking up a flint and steel in each hand and striking it there.

The scene suddenly became cold, only the sound of flint and steel striking echoed, and the young man put his left hand on his chest and said with a slightly ruddy face: "Thank you!" ”

"Don't thank me, it's right to save people, and you still fell in front of me, I can't see death without saving it!" The man didn't look back, just left his back to the boy, beating the flint.

The young man was silent for a while and did not speak, he stood up, held his right hand tied to a wooden stick, limped behind the man, and said slowly: "No matter what, I want to thank you for saving me, and I will remember your kindness." After saying that, he limped towards the foot of Qifeng Mountain.

"Where are you going? Your wounds haven't healed yet, and if you go down the mountain now, I'm afraid you'll have been eaten by the beast before you reach the bottom of the mountain. Just after the boy had taken a few steps, the man behind him slowly opened his mouth and said.

"However, I have to go down the mountain now, otherwise my friends ・・・・・will worry about me, I am afraid that they will come up the mountain to find me, they have no experience in going up the mountain, I am afraid that something will happen to them!" The boy replied firmly, and it seemed that going down the mountain immediately became the thing he was going to do now.

The man looked at the young man, sighed slightly, and slowly came to the young man and said, "Now you are going down the mountain to kill yourself, so don't worry!" Let me send you down the mountain! ”

After saying that, the man put down the flint and steel in his hand and turned around and picked up an object that had been placed by the pond, which was very long, a bit like a guqin sleeve. Although the boy thought so, he glanced at the end of the object, saw a sword hilt, and immediately guessed that the object turned out to be a weapon! But this made the young man feel that the man in front of him was from an unusual background, would ordinary people bring a weapon when they went out? Besides, what kind of society is it now, and you still have to use ancient weapons to defend yourself? As long as you have a pistol that you can carry with you, this thing is simple and convenient, although it cannot be ruled out that the man in front of him has no money to buy a gun.

The road was calm, nothing happened, and it can be said that the road was safe. Even when the boy usually went up the mountain, he would hear the low roars of some wild beasts that inhabited here, but today he didn't hear a single one, which was a little too quiet. And along the way, this man also showed inhuman observation, and even the teenager who had been walking in this mountain for three years couldn't help but sigh.

Almost all the traps along the way were seen through by the man, and even some of them were not noticed by the boy, which made the boy feel that the identity of the man in black standing in front of him was not simple.

On the way, the man also asked himself why he went up the mountain, and the boy felt that the man in front of him did not seem to be a bad person, otherwise he could have left himself alone, and after thinking twice, the boy told him the reason why he went up the mountain.

The man didn't say anything after listening, and didn't seem to feel anything. This made the boy feel that he was a little cold, why don't you also say some comforting words to comfort and comfort yourself? Just when the boy thought so, the man unexpectedly did something that he thought was incredible.

In just a few minutes when he was separated from him, the man came back with a large pile of melons and fruits, and said that he had picked them for himself, and that he could share them with his friends after going down the mountain.

When he said this, he couldn't help but smile on his face, which made the boy feel that the man in front of him was not a cold person, but just not good at expressing himself.

At the foot of Qifeng Mountain, in the broken tile house, there are three children walking around inside, looking like ants on a hot pot.

"Chubby! You said that the boss hasn't come back until now, is there something wrong? Ash cupped his eyes and said anxiously.

"No, the boss will be fine, I believe the boss!" Little Fat hammered the bulging belly on his chest and said seriously.

"But usually the boss should have come back by this time, right? The boss has never had a record of how late he didn't come back, huh? Xiao Zhi was still a little worried, he looked at the Qifeng Mountain outside the broken tile house, as if he wanted to find the figure of the boss.

"Why don't we go up the mountain and look for it?" Xiao Qian stood up at this time and replied with a firm look in her eyes.

"No! What if the boss comes back after we're gone? And the boss also told us that Qifeng Mountain is very dangerous, and told us not to go up the mountain no matter what! As soon as Xiaopang heard that he was going to Qifeng Mountain, he immediately retorted with a blue face.

"So what are we going to do? Chubby, can you tell me? Xiao Qian looked at Xiao Pang angrily, and there seemed to be a few tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes, feeling like she was about to cry.

"I don't know about this, huh?" Seeing Xiaoqian's expression that was about to cry, Xiaopang suddenly said helplessly.

"I think we'd better wait here for a while! If the boss hasn't come back yet, let's go up the mountain to find the boss, how about it? You should all be okay with that, right? Ash thought for a moment, looked at Xiao Qian and Xiao Pang in front of him and said.

Xiaoqian and Xiaopang both looked at each other and nodded vigorously, and now that's all there is to it.

The three of them waited anxiously, and after a while, time passed bit by bit. However, the boss was never seen outside the broken tile house, which made the hearts of the three of them tense again.

"No, I'm going up the mountain to find the boss!" Suddenly, Xiao Qian stood up and said with a firm face.

"Well, it's been too long, Xiaoqian! I'll go with you. Ash also stood up and cupped his eyes and said.

"Ah, are you really going up the mountain? It's very dangerous in the mountains, so I think we might as well wait here for the boss to come back, okay? As soon as Xiaopang heard that the two were about to go up the mountain, his legs suddenly weakened.

"Chubby, why are you so useless? It's just going to Qifeng Mountain, isn't it asking you to go to Dao Mountain, why are you afraid of being like that? Ash turned back to Chubby, who was still squatting in the broken tile house, and said disdainfully.

"No! I won't go, and I won't go up to Qifeng Mountain if I die. "Chubby squatted in the broken tile house and refused to go out.

Just when Xiao Qian was at a loss, Xiao Zhi glanced at Xiao Pang and said, "Forget it!" If he doesn't go, leave him alone! After speaking, Xiao Zhi and Xiao Qian both left the broken tile house.

At this time, everything seemed to be quiet. Xiaopang looked at the empty and dilapidated houses around him, and suddenly felt a trace of fear in his heart.

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound, which frightened Chubby and immediately stood up, and when he saw it clearly, he realized that it was just a broken tile that had fallen.

"Hey, wait for me! I'll go too! At this moment, Xiaopang completely surrendered, after all, letting him stay alone in this broken tile house is simply making him suffer! So he resolutely chose to go to Qifeng Mountain with Xiao Qian and Xiao Zhi, after all, it was much better than staying alone in a broken tile house.
