Outside Qingping Town, the river is murmuring. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Under a withered willow, Chu Chen stood quietly in front of the lonely grave. He couldn't have imagined that a horse would be buried at noon, and at night, he would bury a girl who met in Pingshui with his own hands.

The mood is extremely heavy in the dark night, like the eternal night can never usher in the light. For a long time, Chu Chen sighed faintly.

How fragile is life, how difficult is the world? In a world where strength is respected, mortals without power must have a strong heart in order to firmly believe in the eternal blue sky?

"You're better than me, really! If it were me, I wouldn't believe that the sky was blue, I would just believe what I saw.

For a long time, I wondered if I hadn't shown up and saved you, would you still think the sky was blue? Now, I understand that the blue you see is not the sky above you, but your heart.

Only those who have a pure and clear heart will not be blinded by the ugliness of the outside world, and will not be lost in the endless darkness.

Thank you, you have made me understand many things that I didn't understand before......"

In the cold wind, Chu Chen stood up straight, and he spoke quietly, telling a girl who didn't even know her name and was dead.

After a long time, Chu Chen pulled out the blue water sword and cut a stone tablet.

The wrist shook rapidly, the blue light swayed, the stone chips flew, and the vigorous fonts fell on the tablet.

"The tomb of the nameless girl, Chu Chenli!"

Looking at the simple few words, thinking about it, Chu Chen walked to the back of the stone tablet and swung his sword again.

"Catastrophe, vast sorrow. At the end of the tanka, the bright moon is missing. Lush and beautiful city, there is blue blood. The blue is sometimes exhausted, the blood is sometimes extinguished, and a wisp of smoke is not broken. Is it Jephiah? Transform into a butterfly. ”

Putting the sword back into its sheath and standing quietly for a long time, Chu Chen stroked the stele and smiled: "I hope you can also become a butterfly and fly freely in the blue sky where flowers are in full bloom." ”

Saying that, Chu Chen took out the bamboo dragonfly, "Very beautiful bamboo dragonfly, I will bring it to your sister." I promise you that I will take good care of her until you come back, although, you will never come back! ”

Shaking his head slightly, expelling the low emotions in his heart, Chu Chen turned around and walked away. Suddenly, he looked up and saw that the sky was bright and white, and it was snowing.

"I didn't expect the second snow of the year to be foreseen here."

Stretching out his palm, let the snowflakes fall on the palm of his hand and disappear silently. I still remember that a few months ago, in the snow outside Aoki Castle, he did the same, but that time, his heart was cold. And today......

Chu Chen subconsciously turned around, the lonely grave was still there, but the grave was covered with snow. He couldn't help but think of the flushed face of the girl when he touched the girl's delicate body, faintly, really beautiful!

……

Qingping Town at night is even more dead and silent than during the day.

Chu Chen walked alone on the street, accompanied by hungry wild cats shuttling, and crows flying overhead from time to time, like a ghost walking in the ghost domain.

"In such a big town, there are not many people, and there are no lights at night. How am I going to find your sister if this continues? Flying a hungry wild cat, Chu Chen's brows furrowed slightly.

As the night wore on, it snowed again, and a ten-year-old girl was home alone, certainly cold and hungry. Besides, my sister must be very worried if she hasn't been back for so long.

Just thinking about whether to knock on the door casually and ask the family, suddenly, Chu Chen stopped and pricked up his ears, as if he heard a voice in the distance.

"It sounds like a wild cat, but there are quite a few of them, so it looks like they've found prey." After listening carefully for a while, Chu Chen shook his head and planned to continue to knock on the door of a nearby house.

At that moment, a shrill cry rang out in the night sky. Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen heard words such as "go away" and "get out", which was mixed with a faint cry.

Chu Chen's heart froze, and he quickly ran towards the place where the voice came from.

When he arrived, he saw a group of wild cats salivating and eyeing a little girl, cooing from his throat.

In the night, the little girl lowered her head and couldn't see her face clearly. But the dagger she clenched in both hands and kept swinging from side to side was so shiny and dazzling.

Chu Chen smiled secretly in his heart, this little girl is also interesting, is it useful to swing a dagger like her?

After thinking about it, without waiting for the wild cat to attack, Chu Chen directly took out his sword, and after a faint blue light, the surroundings returned to calm, only the trembling little girl was still in her mouth with non-stop words of intimidation.

Chu Chen shook his head, slowly approached and squatted down, and patted the little girl's shoulder.

"Alright, it's okay!"

Before the words fell, the little girl screamed, as if greatly stimulated, and the dagger held in both hands suddenly stabbed out.

Chu Chen's eyes were slightly cold, and he was about to punch subconsciously, but he finally sensed it at the last moment, but he grabbed the dagger with his empty hand.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay!" Taking the little girl into his arms, Chu Chen comforted softly.

In fact, at that moment, he had already seen the little girl's appearance, except for the faint greenness, how similar was her face to the nameless girl sleeping under the withered willows?

Xu is Chu Chen's comfort played a role, and gradually, the little girl's mood stabilized.

"I'm sorry big brother, I ...... I ......," the little girl said timidly.

Chu Chen smiled, indicating that he was out of the way, and asked, "What's your name?" Why don't you come home so late? ”

"I ......" The little girl lowered her head, and after a while she mustered up the courage to say: "My sister hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid she will be in danger, so I'm ......"

"So you're coming to her, right?" Touching the little girl's head and looking at her timid eyes, Chu Chen couldn't help but hug her up and said with a smile: "But my sister is an adult, she will protect herself." On the contrary, what if you come out so late and encounter danger? Aren't you afraid that your sister will be sad? ”

"But ......" The little girl looked entangled, as if she wanted to refute, and finally said: "Xiaoxiao knows it's wrong, Xiaoxiao will go home!" ”

"Huh! What a good boy. Tell my brother where your home is, will my brother send you back? ”

……

The oil lamps were lit, and it was a humble hut with only the walls left.

To be exact, this is not a house, because a layer of snowflakes has fallen in the house. And overhead, there are still snowflakes falling.

Looking at everything around him, Chu Chen suddenly understood a little why the girl was so reluctant to let go of that cold and hard steamed bun.

"I'm sorry, big brother, my family ......" Xiao Xiao was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to continue. Obviously, she also knows that the family doesn't look good like this.

Chu Chen shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, my brother hasn't seen the snow, and today is what he wanted." ”

After saying that, the atmosphere fell silent.

Xiaoxiao was timid and didn't know what to say, while Chu Chen didn't know how to say anything about her sister.

After a long time, he still had the courage to say: "That...... Big brother, did you see my sister on the street? ”

"Your sister?" Chu Chen's heart tightened, and he immediately pretended to be calm and said, "Brother doesn't know what your sister looks like, how do you know if you've seen it?" ”

As he spoke, Chu Chen's words changed, "But my brother saw a girl who was as beautiful as Xiaoxiao, and she gave me a bamboo dragonfly, saying that she asked me to help her hand it over to her sister." She also said that she was going to a far, far away place to earn a lot of money and buy a lot of bamboo dragonflies for her sister. I heard that my brother was envious to death! ”

After speaking, Chu Chen took out the bamboo dragonfly. Xiaoxiao took it, and her eyes immediately turned red and tears flowed endlessly.

After a long time, Xiaoxiao fell asleep in Chu Chen's arms, carefully put her on the bed, Chu Chen came outside the house, and covered the roof with simple materials.

Back in the room, Chu Chen hadn't slept all night. When the day was bright, he ran out of town alone and returned from hunting two hares.

As soon as Xiao Xiao opened his eyes, he smelled the rich aroma of barbecue, and when he came to the house, Chu Chen was already practicing his sword on the snow.

I don't know what I remembered, Xiaoxiao couldn't help but tears fell, the little hand wrote a bamboo dragonfly, and I couldn't wait to press it into my heart.

After Chu Chen finished practicing, he turned around and saw Xiaoxiao sitting at the door with his shoulders twitching, and there was a faint extremely suppressed choking sound. After thinking about it, I couldn't bear to walk up to her and sit down.

"Little Miss Sister?" Holding his little shoulder, Chu Chen smiled.

"Hmm!" Xiao Xiao raised his head, his eyes were red.

Chu Chen sighed and patted her shoulder, not knowing what to say for a while. People are like this, sometimes, they know that lying is wrong, and they know that it is impossible for a lie not to be exposed for a lifetime, but they force themselves to lie.

After a long time, seeing that Xiaoxiao's mood calmed down a little, Chu Chen said slowly: "Xiaoxiao, do you know? My brother also has a younger sister, she's the same age as you, and her name is Ling'er, but she's been far away, so ah, my brother has been working hard ......"

After all, he was only ten years old, and soon Xiaoxiao was attracted by Chu Chen's story and burst into laughter.

Seeing her mood improve, Chu Chen's heart suddenly dissipated, and he tore off a rabbit leg and said, "Come, try my brother's craftsmanship!" ”

Xiao Xiao took it with a smile, "Thank you, big brother, Sister Ling'er is really happy." ”

"Really? It's okay to be small, do you want to follow your brother's surname Chu? Chu Chen smiled.

"Okay, Xiaoxiao also has a surname, in the future, my name will be Chu Xiaoxiao, and my sister will be Chu Youyou, giggle......"

Watching Xiao Xiao run away happily, for a while, Chu Chen didn't know what it was like in his heart. When she was about a young child, she wouldn't have thought that her sister's tombstone didn't even have a name!

Putting aside the complicated thoughts in his heart, Chu Chen took out the mission map and began to plan the next itinerary.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near, and as soon as Chu Chen looked up, he saw Xiao Xiao running back with a frightened face, hiding behind him and shivering.

Immediately afterwards, a fat pig-like official led a group of evil slaves into the courtyard.

"Don't be afraid, tell my brother what's going on?" Stroking his little head with one hand, Chu Chen's eyes stared coldly at the group of people in front of him.

Xiao Xiao trembled, and closed his eyes and didn't dare to speak. On the contrary, the official lord looked arrogant, waved his hand and said: "This master suspects that you killed the slaves of this house, come here, take me away!" ”
