The heavens and the earth were bleak, and the torrential rain was like a tide.

Everyone stumbled far away, their ears full of wind and rain and thunder, as if they were laughing at them who had fled into the wilderness, and like the sky was crying in Shenxiong.

Han Shihao seemed to have finally woken up from this absurd reality, he shook off Yang Haohui's hand that held him for his life, and the force directly shook Yang Haohui away. The confused crowd seemed to wake up and stopped.

"What are we doing? What are we doing?" Han Shihao screamed in horror.

"Xiaobao is still in their hands!" Han Shihao shouted as he took a deep breath, "We can't leave him!"

"There's no point, and going back is also death. Yang Haohui stood up straight and said flatly.

"It's not a question of death or not! We can't leave our companions behind!"

A ferocious left hook was fiercely imprinted on Han Shihao's face.

"Are you awake?" Yang Haohui rubbed his painful left fist, his eyes were cold as if he was about to freeze on ice.

"Don't, don't. Lan Borou immediately wanted to step forward to persuade her, but was stopped by Yang Haohui waving her hand.

"What do you mean?" Han Shihao wiped the corners of his mouth that was slightly oozing blood.

"Don't you understand?!" Yang Haohui raised his voice suddenly, "This is a sneak attack that has been planned for a long time! That fox disguised as a senior will set us up one after another! That's not the enemy we can defeat now!"

"I felt that there was something wrong with being late from the beginning! That wasn't drunken at all! He ate Ling Haoyun before our actual combat class began! It took two weeks for the Deadwood Fox to fully transform after devouring humans, and the time was just right when we came here, which was the real reason why he was late! Wang Shun was his accomplice at all! He destroyed the protective circle to probe our strength! He helped me block the gun because he found fluorite powder on the soles of his shoes! He instead used my trap to pretend to sacrifice himself to gain our trust! What makes the task more difficult, it's all made up, do you know!" Yang Haohui wiped the rain from his face and roared hoarsely, "Everything is acted, do you understand, Brother Zhu! Every step they made was accurately calculated! In order for us to help them open the bronze door! They must have been to the cave before! Those Shenshen crossbows that had been prepared a long time ago are proof!"

Han Shihao listened expressionlessly until Yang Haohui's roar subsided.

"So what?" he asked softly.

"Run, go down the mountain to ask Teacher Chu Xiao for help, or contact Teacher Yeyin. Yang Haohui said his own method, "This is not at the same level as the strength of the enemy we encountered before, those two deadwood foxes are not only very strong, but also good at strategy, I still say that, this is not an opponent we can defeat." ”

"So what?" asked Han Shihao still softly.

"This isn't an exam, Han Shihao Xuan. Yang Haohui rarely called Han Shihao by his full name, but there was even a pleading in his current tone, "I'm going to die." ”

Yang Haohui was grabbed by Han Shihao's collar and pushed hard against a giant tree on the side of the road, and the ferocious force even knocked the trunk out of the crack. Fallen leaves mixed with a scoop of rain fell, and Han Shihao was far higher than Yang Haohui, who was pressed against the trunk of the tree and his feet dangled in the air.

"Are you asking me to watch my brother die!!" Han Shihao's forehead burst into green tendons, "You obviously know that time is too late! It is impossible to call Chu Xiao or Teacher Yeyin! Not to mention that the teacher said at the beginning of the actual combat class that the school palace will not give a little support, you obviously know! You say this to let Xiaobao die!"

"What does this have to do with me!" Yang Haohui grabbed Han Shihao's wrist and wanted to pull it away, but Han Shihao's wrist bone was as hard as iron, "I said a long time ago that there was a problem with 'Ling Haoyun', but who of you believed my words at that time! Feng Haogeng was the one who insisted on taking Ling Haoyun the most, your brother...... Your brother deserves it!"

For a moment, Yang Haohui really thought that Han Shihao was going to kill him, and he locked his palms tightly and almost cut his throat. But after a moment, his palms let go, and Yang Haohui slipped to the ground. Han Shihao stumbled back a few steps and sat down on the muddy ground, the strong boy's eyes showing a vulnerability that he had never seen before.

The two of them were silent for a long, long time, and the other people who were originally going to fight were also silent. Heavy rain filled the sky and poured cold on everyone's faces.

"You're right, I'm sorry. For a long time, Han Shihao said softly.

He curled up on his knees, his face buried deep in his legs. Yang Haohui couldn't see Han Shihao's expression, but after a while, he actually heard a slight cry, Han Shihao actually cried, which was the first time in Yang Haohui's memory.

No matter how strong Han Shihao is, he will only be a 12-year-old boy in the end.

"Give up the rescue, Brother Zhu. Yang Haohui said softly, "General." ”

Lan Bo Rou and Ye Ruohua walked to Han Shihao's side and squatted, their hands hanging in the air as if they wanted to comfort them, and they didn't know where to start. But the sobbing stopped abruptly, and Han Shihao stood up again. He didn't say a word, just smiled at everyone, turned around and was about to leave.

"Han Shihao!" Yang Haohui understood what he meant, and there was a resolute death intent in his smile.

"I'll tell you a story, it's not long. Han Shihao stopped and didn't look back, "Xiaobao, he is not my own brother. ”

Yang Haohui was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what Han Shihao's brainless sentence meant.

Han Shihao didn't explain much, just looked up at the dark night sky slightly, and his voice was quiet: "I, I've been stronger than others since I was a child, and others have praised me for this." Because whether it is a simple and powerful elementalist or a guard, a strong body is the most important foundation. Thanks to this, I have been the boss of the children's pile since I was a child, and I can win fights with anyone. ”

This should not be a warm moment for exchanging private thoughts, but Yang Haohui did not interrupt, and Han Shihao's words carried a calm that people couldn't bear to interrupt.

"Don't look at me like this, I'm actually more cowardly than anyone else. You don't know, when I was a child, I was even afraid of ants, and I would cry for a long time if I accidentally fell while walking. As he spoke, Han Shihao actually laughed slightly, "How ridiculous, with a strong body chosen by heaven, he is still the hardest 'shield' in our class, but his heart is invulnerable." ”

"And then. Yang Haohui asked.

"I first met Xiaobao when I was eight years old, when my father brought in a dirty child and said to me with a smile, 'You're brothers from now on.'" Han Shihao said, "Don't blame him, Xiaobao has been like that since he was a child, he was stubborn and stubborn, and I hated him very much." Do you know what he did when we first met?"

"What is it?" Ye Ruohua answered curiously.

"Xiaobao handed me a small black ball, saying that he wanted to invite my brother to eat sesame candy, and I was really happy to eat it....... Then I found out that it was the boogers he had been saving for three days. ”

The corners of Yang Haohui's eyes twitched slightly, and he didn't know how to evaluate it.

"I don't like this new brother, he is both arrogant and aggressive, he has been stealing my toys and food since he was a child, throwing me at every mistake he makes, and I am always scolded. He also always played some small tricks, bullied people everywhere behind his back, and pretended to be obedient in front of my father as soon as he got home. Han Shihao scratched his forehead, "It's a shame to say, I'll be really cautious." I always felt that this new brother had robbed me of the love that belonged to me, and I always wanted to ....... If only I didn't have this brother. ”

"Yes. Yang Haohui said.

"But I never thought it would happen. Han Shihao said softly.

"When we were nine years old, a group of bandits broke into my house while our fathers were away and kidnapped Xiaobao. Han Shihao slowly turned his head and looked directly into Yang Haohui's eyes, "In front of me, and I didn't do anything." ”

A faint orange glow escaped from Han Shi's body, and the ground beneath his feet was affected and trembled slightly. Han Shihao's self-control has always been recognized as strong, but at this moment, he can't even control his own Yuan Energy.

"At that time, we were not awakened, and we were no match for the bandits at all. We were playing hide and seek when the bandits broke into my house, and I happened to be a 'ghost' and hid in the closet. The back of Han Shihao's hand exploded, "I watched Xiaobao being abducted through the gap in the closet. He cried and shouted, 'Brother save me'........ In front of me, and I didn't do anything. ”

He said "in front of me, and I didn't do anything" twice, and he didn't even notice it.

Yang Haohui was silent for a while, and exhaled softly: "And then?"

"I was in the closet trying not to cry, I wanted to rush out and fight the bandits to the death, but my body seemed to freeze, just shuddering and trembling. I didn't dare to take a big breath until the bandits left. I was so confused that I forgot to ask my parents for help. Han Shihao paused and said in a trembling voice, "I'm really cowardly." ”

Yang Haohui didn't speak, because he heard the pain from Han Shihao's words, a strong and suffocating pain, which had not subsided for three years.

"It took a whole day for the elders of the family to rush home. It was only then that I came back to my senses and quickly explained everything. The family brought people to rescue people, and we followed the footsteps of the bandits to find their den. Then I saw a scene that I will never forget in my life....... Xiaobao was naked, and his palms were pierced with iron nails and hung on the wall. Knife wounds, fist marks, burns, all the torture you can imagine was used on him, and the blood soaked a large area of the ground, and for the first time I knew that the blood that had been killed was dark brown. The bandit leader kept asking Xiaobao where the key to our family's vault was, and once he asked, he would punch him in the face with a fist with a fist. But he didn't say anything, just crying and shouting, 'Brother will come to save me', 'Brother will definitely come to save me', Xiaobao's face was rotten, and it was densely covered with blood holes. Han Shihao took a deep breath, "He has always believed that I will save him, he has always believed in ....... And I didn't do anything. ”

He couldn't go on, just kept taking deep breaths to calm his fierce heartbeat.

After a long, long time, Han Shihao continued: "We killed those damned bandits, and I went crazy and stabbed the corpses of the bandits with a knife and stabbed the corpses to pieces. I hate him, it was he who tortured my brother all day....... But I know that what I really hate is myself, and it is my cowardice that has hurt Xiaobao. It's not the bandit leader who really deserves to die, it's me!"

The thunder resounded through the sky at this moment, and the electric snake tore through the darkness and illuminated Han Shihao's face brightly. Yang Haohui stared at his iron-like face for a long time, and let out a long sigh.

"I'm not going to give up on him again. Han Shihao said categorically, "I'm not afraid of death, the cowardly Han Shihao Xuan died three years ago!"

"Don't talk about Brother Zhu. Ye Ruohua suddenly said, "Let's go and save him." ”

Han Shihao looked at Ye Ruohua in a daze: "I don't want to....... It was my mistake and it was up to me to make up for it. ”

"What's yours and mine, is it troublesome?" Ye Ruohua scratched her long ears and muttered in a low voice, "There are only five people in the class, except for Xiaobao, who are all stuffy, I will be very lonely if no one quarrels." ”

"I'll go too. Lan Borou cautiously raised her hand, "We have to survive together." ”

"Then I'll go too. Mo Meng actually opened his mouth.

"You ......." Han Shihao was a little surprised.

"He's Brother Yang's friend, right?" Mo Meng flattened his mouth, and seemed a little awkward, "I hate that lip ring, but since it's Brother Yang's friend, it's also this girl's friend." ”

It's really a happy atmosphere, and the original miserable wind and rain seem to be warmed up in the eyes of everyone...... If it weren't for Yang Haohui's words.

"I'm sorry. His voice trembled slightly.

Han Shihao looked directly into Yang Haohui's eyes, but Yang Haohui turned his head and didn't dare to look at him.

"I understand, this is like you, there is no reason for you to accompany me to die. Han Shihao said calmly, "Thank you for being willing to listen to my nonsense." ”

"This is your bargaining chip. Yang Haohui handed the egg and the Explosive Yuan Pill to Han Shihao.

"Thank you. ”

"This is the last help I can give you. Yang Haohui handed over two medicine bottles, one red and one blue, "I've been on guard against the fake Ling Haoyun, the things of the travel ring were taken out and put on your body at the beginning, your equipment was snatched away, you should need this." ”

"I don't need that. Han Shihao actually pushed back, "You still have to go back, don't you, without the fat uncle leading the way, you also need these." ”

With a warm hug, Yang Haohui was caught off guard by Han Shihao in his arms, and his deep voice came from his ears: "Thank you, you must go back alive." ”

followed by Ye Ruohua, she gently hugged Yang Haohui: "Thank you, the food you cook is really delicious." She patted Yang Haohui's back hard, lowered her voice, and her voice was still a little smiling, "It's a pity, I may not be able to see you marry Xiaorou." ”

Then came Lan Borou, her face was a little red, but she still hugged him crampedly: "Thank you, we will go back together, trust us." In the hug, Lan Borou gave him a navy blue ball, which was a compressed tent, and even at this moment, the girl was still thinking about Yang Haohui's way back, "You will need it when you go down the mountain, I have always carried it with me and not put it in the travel ring." ”

Finally, Mo Meng, she smiled softly, and the beauty made people lose their minds: "Thank you, don't be afraid of Brother Yang, Mo Meng still has a lot to say to you, we are all ...... It's not going to die. She also gently hugged Yang Haohui.

They retreated step by step, getting farther and farther away from Yang Haohui. Yang Haohui stood in place in a daze, watching the last backs of the four disappear into the darkness of the forest.

There was not a word of blame, and no one had a hint of disappointment in their eyes. Each of them left only a few fluttering words of goodbye, or a last word.

Yang Haohui walked in the opposite direction in despair, his forehead hair was drenched by the torrential rain, and he lay on his face softly. He took a few steps and suddenly leaned against the trunk of a tree, then fell to his knees, vomiting frantically.

He tried to stand up, so he reluctantly stood up. But as soon as his feet slipped, he fell again. Covered in his own vomit, muddy water and fallen leaves knocked by the rainstorm, tears overflowed uncontrollably. He didn't know why he was crying, but the tears were flowing down on their own, completely uncontrollable. At this time, he was too much like a drenched stray dog, which made people want to step on it a few times.

What should I do? What should I do now to save them? Yang Haohui's mind was confused. But he immediately thought of the communication snail, and he could ask for help from the outside world!

So he hurriedly took out the communication snail, held the snail with a trembling hand and smashed it on the ground, five times and five times, that was the "number" of the night sound!

"Pick it up, pick it up, you pick it up! Please!" Yang Haohui knocked the conch weakly over and over again, and even the snail body was smashed into a fine crack. He pleaded and cried, but the snail only trembled slightly, and there was no sign of connectivity.

Yeyin is really worthy of being the teacher of the ghost class, and she does what she says, and she does it really well! It is so cool to say that there is no support without it! It is so cool that every drop of Yang Haohui's blood is like ice slag.

The snail shattered in the final impact, shattering into pieces. Yang Haohui was stupid, he had never felt so helpless as he did now. After a few seconds, he reacted and went crazy to pick up the fragments of the snail, completely ignoring the sharp fragments that pricked his hands with blood.

Mistakes are built into mountains, and fools are difficult.

The last hope was destroyed by his own hands, and Yang Haohui seemed to be frozen, with a dead gray glow in his eyes. His lips trembled as his hands cupped the ground, his fingers digging deep into the wet dirt, the blood from his fingertips seeping into the ground. He had been pretending to be calm before, but now he was the only one left. The only thing that accompanied him was this almost endless rainstorm and darkness, and the long-suppressed fear in his heart could not be controlled, and his hands and feet were as cold as ice bars.

He also wants to go with his friends, and he also wants to shout like the male protagonist in "Youth Jump" to save his partner! How handsome he is, this shows "friendship, hard work, and victory", isn't it? But he didn't dare, even if he knew Han Shihao's past, it didn't make him overcome the fear of death. I'm afraid, I'm really afraid, every bone and every inch of his muscles are trembling. Everyone has thought about who to die for a thousand times and ten thousand times, but when the sickle of death is coming, they will be so scared that they can't even open their mouths, and they will be so afraid that they will vomit out.

He understood that his friend understood that this was not a reciprocal battle at all, just a complete death. The other party is a primordial demon, with a beast-like body and human intelligence. Yang Haohui is best at calculation, and when he also lost to the other party at this point, he suddenly realized that he was so weak.

It's ridiculous, Han Shihao obviously asked himself if he was afraid of death, and he trembled when he was afraid....... But the really cowardly person went back without looking back, but Yang Haohui became the one who ran away.

It's all my fault, it's all my fault!

Yang Haohui's head hurt as if it was about to explode, as if a carving knife was scraping the inside of his skull over and over again.

Why didn't he hold on when Feng Haogeng was opposed? Why didn't he keep an eye on the following Yu anymore? It was he who killed the fat uncle, and for the first time he really saw someone else lose their lives in front of him...... Now his friend, his most special person, is also going to die, for that ridiculous friendship.

After all, he is really a selfish person, and what the other Yang Haohui said is so accurate. He didn't want to show that he was wary of others, as it would make his friends hate him, and he was afraid of death, so he was the only escapee in the group. Everything he does is just for himself, being nice to others is just a kind of flattery, pleasing others to love himself, because he is afraid of being feared by others.

The six-year-old seemed to be back, and memories came flooding back like a tidal wave, Yang Haohui clutched his head so hard that his fingertips even buckled into his skin. His parents disappeared before his eyes, and now it was his friend's turn....... Six years have passed, he still hasn't changed, his guys are growing up and moving forward on the road of life, only he is still standing still.

The same weakness, the same selfishness, the same powerlessness.

Yang Haohui struggled to get up, and finally glanced back in the direction of the Amethyst Cave, and slowly walked in the opposite direction, stiff like a robot with rotten joints.
