"Brother Boyu, are we really going to walk like this for more than a month?"

Gongsun Ling didn't seem to be used to walking on the mountain road, and fell far behind Chu Boxi, she shouted a few times behind her, but Chu Boxi didn't respond. In fact, Chu Boyu didn't plan to go to Jiuhua Mountain at all to see what the Jin Immortal Society was, but he just took the opportunity to ask about the current situation. He just wants to go home, even if that home doesn't exist anymore, he doesn't care, he just wants to go back there!

The two of them went down the mountain one after the other and entered a winding path. Gongsun Ling held the sweet potato, cautiously quickened his pace, and wanted to step forward to walk with Chu Boyu, but the road was too narrow to stand side by side, so Gongsun Ling had to retreat to the back. It wasn't until he came to a small stream that Chu Boxi stopped, and less than ten meters further on, there was a forest.

By this time, the sun had set in the west, and there was a red burning cloud on the horizon.

Chu Boyu's footsteps suddenly stopped, and Gongsun Lingyin buried his head in following the sprint, and he didn't notice it for a while, and hit him head-on. Gongsun Ling exclaimed coldly, and immediately bent down to pick up the sweet potatoes on the ground, picked them up, and still saw that Chu Boyu was motionless, not moved at all.

"Brother Boyu, do you want to take a break?"

As soon as the words fell, Chu Boyu's body suddenly leaned back, and he was about to fall down, but fortunately, Gongsun Ling's eyes were fast, and he quickly stepped forward to support him, but he just freed his hand, and the sweet potatoes he had just picked up were scattered all over the ground. But unable to take care of these for the time being, Gongsun Ling slowly put Chu Boyu down, lay on the grass by the stream, turned to the stream, and patted Chu Boyu on the face with water with his hands.

At this time, she noticed that there were a few shallow marks on Chu Boyu's pale face, like a scar left by a burn, and she wanted to reach out to touch it, but she stopped halfway through the movement, and asked timidly: "Brother Boyu, your face ...... Are you sick? ”

Chu Boyu's eyelids were half-opened, looking very tired, and the side of his head was next to Gonglingsun's thin shoulder, and he whispered, "I'm sorry." ”

Gongsun Ling shook his head like a rattle, and said anxiously: "How can you say I'm sorry!" Is it too hurried, we can walk a little slower, if we can't catch up, we can't catch up, I'm fine, it's okay to go somewhere else to play. ”

Chu Boyu's heart was complicated, and he had just walked all the way, although he lowered his head to avoid the light, his body was placed in the sun, even if it was not as intense as burning his eyes, he still felt that his skin was slowly burning. He would rather stay in that world, and maybe after a certain amount of time, he will forget everything. Now, I can't find a support point for existence in my heart, and it's empty.

"I'm sorry." Chu Boyu repeated.

"Okay, okay, I don't blame you, no need to apologize." Gongsun Ling patted Chu Boyu's head, and comforted Chu Boyu like his mother comforted herself, "If we can't catch up, we won't watch it, it's okay." ”

The two of them sat by the brook in silence until the last rays of the sun had fallen, and the moon had risen and the stars were shining.

Chu Boyu's body was no longer unwell, the scars on his face had dissipated, and he was sitting on the stone in a daze. Gongsun Ling picked up the sweet potatoes on the ground and put them away, took two big ones with thick meat, took off his shoes and stood barefoot in the middle of the stream, cleaning the sweet potatoes while enjoying the coldness under his feet. After the sweet potato mud and sand were washed away, he jumped to Chu Boyu with playful steps and squatted down and handed him the largest sweet potato.

Chu Boyu shook his head, did not take the sweet potato, and said with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "You eat, I'm not hungry." ”

Gongsun Ling frowned and said, "However, you haven't eaten all day." ”

Chu Boyu didn't say anything, Gongsun Ling insisted for a while, and seeing that he still didn't mean to take the sweet potato, he had no choice but to put away his hand, sat down beside him, picked up the sweet potato and gnawed it, took a bite, and praised it with satisfaction.

Chu Boyu glanced at her, and remembered the place that was forgotten by time like a cage, what was the reason why such a simple child would be trapped there? Even for her, it was like a night's sleep.

“…… Little Zero, did you sleep well last night? Chu Boyu asked tentatively.

Gongsun Ling took a bite of the sweet potato, mumbled, chewed a few bites, seemed to remember something, and said, "It seems that I had a long dream, but I forgot it after waking up." What's wrong? I ...... last night Talking in your sleep? ”

"Nope." Chu Boxi shook his head.

"Hee-hee...... That's good, my mother has told me a few times that sometimes I don't sleep steadily, I talk in my sleep, and I ...... Hit. Gongsun Ling nibbled on the sweet potato, laughed awkwardly and asked, "Brother Boyu, what interesting places have you been to?" Can you tell me about it? ”

This can be regarded as asking Chu Boyu, if you really want to talk about it, he doesn't have much travel experience, he grew up in Xianyang when he was young, and he has only seen the grandeur of the appearance of the palace. When I was young, I moved to a small village in Wu County, so far, I often go to only the dock on the mountain, and my family does not go out too much.

"What about you?" Chu Boyu asked rhetorically.

"I'm ......" Gongsun Ling swallowed the food in his mouth, thought for a moment and said, "I have always lived in Pushan, where I have a beautiful log cabin with many beautiful flowers around. Although my mother is not there a lot of times, I have a lot of friends and they are all very cute......"

Gongsun Ling suddenly stopped, looked at Chu Boyu with timid eyes, and asked with a little pleading: "Brother Boyu, can you ...... about my father?"

"I'm sorry."

"How do you say you're sorry?"

"Actually...... I ......" Chu Boyu wanted to speak and stopped, looking at the simple and ignorant person in front of him, is he telling the truth? Or continue to lie? The choice is difficult, "I don't know your father, maybe...... Maybe it was a wrong decision to find me, I may not be able to take care of you, and I may not be able to send you back to Pushan......"

"Oh." Gongsun Lingyun responded lightly, not seeing the slightest surprise and dissatisfaction, and then asked lightly: "Then do you still accompany me to Jiuhua Mountain?" ”

"I'm sorry ......"

"It's okay, you don't have to apologize, I can go back to Pushan myself, anyway, I'm used to it alone, hehe...... "Gongsun Ling was eating sweet potatoes, and he looked like he was nothing, but when he suddenly thought of Lao Lin's wife, he couldn't stop crying.

"How do you ...... Crying? ”

"I'm fine." Gongsun Ling turned his head, got up and walked a few meters away, and sat down with his back to Chu Boyu.

"Gongsun Zero, are you okay?" Chu Boyu thought about what she had just said, and couldn't help but guess her life experience, thinking that she was sad because of this. After all, as soon as she recognized her father, she was secretly sent away, although this may not be the truth, but she must think so at the moment.

"It's okay, I'll just stay by myself for a while." Gongsun Ling responded softly, his voice trembling a little.

Chu Boyu didn't ask any more questions, he was silent for a while, and his eyes turned from Gongsun Ling's back to the sky. Seeing that the night is bright and the moonlight is gentle and bright, it is difficult to hide the heaviness of my heart.

I can't help but sigh, what is the night tonight, what joy is life, and what is the pain of death......
