083 Darkness Falls
Two children who have also lost their loved ones, their closed hearts are only open to each other. When Shen Yan'er cried because she missed her mother, Ah Zhen comforted her; When Ah Zhen missed her grandfather, Shen Yan'er encouraged her. In this way, the two gradually came out of the shadows.
Later, one day, when Shen Yan'er dreamed of her mother again, but when she woke up and found that there was only a cold wind that cooled her heart and lungs, she cried again. At this time, Ah Zhen rushed over after hearing the movement, climbed into bed gently, hugged Shen Yan'er and said, "Miss, I also dreamed of your mother just now." She said that you were always crying and crying, so that she could not leave in peace, so I promised her to take good care of you, and she turned around and disappeared with a smile......"
Shen Yan'er put down her hand to rub her eyes and asked stupidly, "Really?" To this day, Shen Yan'er still doesn't know whether what Ah Zhen said at the beginning is true or false, but she just believed it stupidly, and never allowed herself to doubt it. It was precisely because of this that she finally got back on her feet. I have to thank Ah Zhen, no matter whether those words are true or not.
Ah Zhen took Shen Yan'er's hand, hooked Shen Yan'er's little finger with her little finger, and said, "Of course it's true." Pull the hook, and I won't dare to lie. Because he who lies will be pricked with a thousand needles, and he will die a painful and miserable death. ”

Shen Yan'er remembered what happened that night, but she didn't know if Ah Zhen remembered it. The old things are brought up again, and time has passed, but I didn't expect it to be in such a situation. Ah Zhen smiled miserably and said weakly, "I still remember ......"
"In that case, I will not allow you to say these frustrating words again. Even if I'm lying on the ground, I'm going to carry you on my back. Shen Yan'er carried Ah Zhen again in one go. After a short break, her body recovered a little.
"Miss, I lied to you." Ah Zhen suddenly smiled faintly, "The reason why I always remember it is because I lied to you......"
Shen Yan'er stopped suddenly, only feeling heartache, but she didn't feel anything else.
Ah Zhen said in a low voice, very hard: "It's me who is too self-conscious, how can I take care of you alone?" Not only did it not take care of you, but it also dragged you down...... Now this is my retribution, right? Punish me...... made promises that could not be kept......"
Shen Yan'er didn't interrupt her intermittent words, and continued to move forward step by step with tears in her eyes. Although the speed is slow, it has not stopped. She understood Ah Zhen's intentions, and the reason why Ah Zhen said this was to prevent herself from blaming herself and feeling guilty. But the more Ah Zhen was like this, the more painful Shen Yan'er became, and the more she hated herself for not being able to save her.
"Ah Zhen, listen. Everyone can die, and I don't care if all the show girls in the mass grave are all dead, but you have to live. I haven't even been so attached to my life as I am now, you have to believe me......" Shen Yan'er was almost about to collapse. The fragile spirit is like a blown up wall, slowly crumbling.
"Why did you come to the draft with me? If you stay at home, you won't have to do this......" I know it's too late to regret it, but I still can't help but assume it. If Ah Zhen hadn't come, if he had stopped Ah Zhen in the first place, if he had been a little stronger, if he hadn't stepped on the wrong foot and hung in the air......
"Miss, you're wrong."
Shen Yan'er's chaotic thoughts were interrupted by Ah Zhen. Ah Zhen has never been so direct and calm as at this moment. "Everybody dies, and I'm no exception," she said...... I think it's good to be like this now, because I was with you until the last moment before I died, and I don't regret it at all...... At the very least, I have spent the last bit of my limited life on sharing the joys and sorrows with you...... That's enough for me......"
Shen Yan'er was completely defeated by this sentence. Her knees could no longer hold on, she shuddered violently, and fell heavily to her knees with a loud sound. "I'm sorry for you, Ah Zhen...... I hurt you......" Shen Yan'er covered her face with her hands and cried bitterly. She didn't want to be reckless, and she didn't want to continue to deceive herself. In fact, she knows better than anyone that she can't save Ah Zhen anymore, and all the struggles are in vain.
"It doesn't matter, I forgive you." Ah Zhen sat softly in the corner of the wall, gently stretched out her arms, and hugged Shen Yan'er's trembling and twitching shoulders. The corners of her soft lips were smiling faintly, and her quiet and beautiful expression was so content.
Ah Zhen closed her eyes softly, waiting for the little time she had left to reach the end. However, at this moment, what had always worried Shen Yan'er finally happened-
The dim flame of the ever-bright lights on the wall grew smaller and smaller, gradually turning into a small dot the size of a mung bean. The dots shrank and shrank on the wick, and finally went out silently. After the first light went out, the rest of the lights went out one after another.
After a while, the entire tunnel was pitch black. In this underneath space without a trace of light, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "reaching out and not seeing five fingers".
Shen Yan'er, who was crying bitterly, noticed something strange and slowly raised her head. At this moment, she thought she was crying blind. At a loss, she only knew to make her eyes the most extensive, but no matter how she opened them, she still couldn't see anything. That's when she realized that the worst thing had happened. Even the light has abandoned her, and there is no life in her heart.
"That's ...... I won't be able to see the marks left by Kou Xuebing......" Ah Zhen said softly. She is already in a state of waiting for death, no matter what danger she faces, she can face it calmly, but she is a little anxious at the moment, because she is still worried about Shen Yan'er's future.
"Yes, I can't see the mark...... Shen Yan'er wiped the tears from her face, sat in the corner tiredly, and leaned side by side with Ah Zhen.
When Shen Yan'er found that the grease in the lantern was not enough to burn until the tenth day, she guessed that this situation would be encountered. She thought she would have a nervous breakdown when all the lights went out and darkness turned around. But when this qiē really happened, she realized that she was far calmer than she had imagined.
What is darkness? What could be scarier than losing Ah Zhen?
"Miss, it's not too late for the lights to go out, and there will be light when you walk a little further. Let's go. ”
Ah Zhen began to persuade Shen Yan'er to abandon her again, but Shen Yan'er grabbed her hand again and stood up on her back.
"yes, you're right again. I really can't live without you......" Shen Yan'er's tearful eyes flashed with determination, "If you keep moving forward, there will be light, and you can't give up now." Ah Zhen, at least let me still do my best to save you at the last minute. Perhaps, a miracle will happen......"
