Chapter Ninety-Eight

His friend was indeed a little younger than he was.

Fifty years turned into white bones, and counted on his fingers, he did not live to be fifty years old.

Zhong Sannian was a little silent, and he couldn't come out of words to comfort the other party for a while.

A friend who died young is a sorrow for everyone.

She said: "Xiao Tao, people's birth, old age, sickness and death are uncontrollable, maybe your friends don't have too many regrets before you leave." ”

Xiao Tao said sadly: "Originally, the two of us agreed to meet again in a few years, but now that I am here, he is only left with a bunch of white bones." ”

“……”

Zhong Sannian pursed his lips, "I think he knows something, and he must be glad that you can come over for an appointment." ”

"Alas! In saying this, I also have a comfort in my heart. Peach tapped lightly on the edge of the window.

A pale pink veil slowly fluttered through the window.

He seemed to lean back against the window, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Zhong San nodded, "Me too." ”

Xiao Tao's words seemed to be mixed with a little cheerfulness, and the sorrow in it gradually dispersed.

"Speaking of which, if there is a fate in the future, we may meet again."

Zhong Sannian bowed his head, "I'm also looking forward to it." ”

"In that case, I'm leaving." Xiao Tao didn't have any nostalgia, and the pale voice outside the window fluttered slowly.

"By the way, my friend's name is Li Taoan."

"Okay." Zhong Sannian put his hands in his heart and said softly, "I'll help you remember." ”

A dim wind crept away.

The window moved slightly twice.

Zhong Sannian glared for a moment and walked to the window, slowly opening the window.

The mountain behind the house was desolate and lonely, and the dry trees stood in it, and from time to time a few leaves fell to the ground.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked into the distance, where there seemed to be a few bulging small dirt bags.

"......" she probably knew what it was, it looked a little new, there was some cool loess on it, some rough ones she had seen on country roads, but in such an area, it was actually a little abrupt.

After all, the people living around are all wealthy families, and the one who can see those babies the most is the one where they are.

The Li family didn't feel how brilliant it was at this time, but the momentum added by this concentration was not so down.

Well?

Zhong Sannian thought a little about it.

When he came to the appointment in the little peach tree, he knew that his friend was dead and turned into white bones.

Isn't it...

She nodded silently and closed the window tightly.

"Li Taoan."

The name was whispered between his mouths.

Li Taoan, Li Taoyuan.

It should be some close relatives, if it is placed in some families, it should be the same generation.

Zhong San's heart sank, and he was slightly uneasy.

Looking ahead in a complicated way, he slowly closed his eyes in the darkness.

A little clear sunlight fell on my eyelids, and I had a slight headache, and I slowly opened my eyes.

Zhong San rubbed his eyes, only to feel that his shoulders were very sore, "Hey? Did I actually lie in a chair all night? ”

She reached out and rubbed her shoulders, stretching her arms and legs.

It's really lucky, only the shoulders will be a little sore, and the rest doesn't feel uncomfortable.

Zhong moved his hands and feet back and forth, listening to the sound of some walking outside, and went to open the door.

"Li Taoyuan?"

"Huh? Three years? Li Taoyuan's face was supreme, pale, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and the dark circles under his eyes spread even more, almost reaching the cheekbones.

The words were soft, like an air, slowly loosening outward.

The footsteps kept swaying.

Zhong Sannian was startled, and quickly grabbed the other party and said, "What's wrong with you?" Didn't sleep well or what's wrong? ”

Li Taoyuan shook his head, hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Zhong Sannian said: "Li Taoyuan, don't scare me, why is it in such a bad state?" ”

Li Taoyuan said confusedly: "For three years, I have been dreaming last night, although I said that I slept well, but I was coaxing in my head. ”

"Can you still say that you sleep well if you dream all the time? Hurry up and sit down with me. ”

Zhong Sannian asked someone to pull someone into the room, sat down with support, and frowned tightly at the state of the other party.

Li Taoyuan didn't see how he cared, and waved his hand casually.

"Okay, it's a lot better than before, it's just a little dreaming, and it makes me a little annoyed."

Zhong Sannian frowned: "What did you dream about?" How did it make you look like this? ”

"I ......"

Li Taoyuan blinked his eyes in a daze, and said with some hesitation: "What did you dream about?" I don't remember, I've been dreaming of my brother at home. ”

"Brother?" Zhong Sannian pondered for a while, "I haven't heard you mention that there is an elder brother in my family?" ”

She was a little stunned, Li Taoyuan's whole person was like a piece of wood, and her behavior was like a puppet, pulling the thread, and she was always a little stiff.

"It's not my own brother, it's the oldest brother in my family, he has a good temper, he treats me well, I liked him a lot when I was a child."

"I see." Zhong Sannian took the other party's hand and looked carefully at Mu Ran above the other party's face.

It is like a bone clip, wrapped in a layer of skin, and ropes are tied to the main joints, barely pulling a person to walk.

There is no madness, but the oil runs out.

In school, so I was crazy, and I didn't see how to rest, and even said that even eating depended on fate.

The physical condition is not bad, and it looks like he is even a little fat in the past.

It's only been a night since I came back, and the face on my face is quickly sunken.

There is still a little meat saved, but the sunken face looks like a skeleton, and the eyes are visibly emaciated.

Zhong Sansan asked, "Then where is this brother in your family?" But did you see it when you came back? ”

Li Taoyuan shook his head, "He's been gone for some years. ”

"I'm sorry."

"No, there's nothing to be sorry for." Li Taoyuan smiled bitterly: "My brother had an accident when he went out to explore, and he slipped down the cliff, and the family searched for a long time, but he barely found a handful of bones in the mountains." ”

She was silent, silent, without any movement, and the invisible in her dry eyes was sad.

The breeze blew quietly through the window, and the unstable window was blown open through the cracks.

Li Taoyuan shrunk his arm slightly, and Zhong Sansan immediately got up to close the window.

"Three years."

"Well, I'm here."

"The family has always said that my brother does it himself, and he always has to go to the deep mountains and old forests, of course there will be accidents, often walking by the river, how can there be no wet shoes, after making so many fuss, he finally fished his life in."

Zhong Sansan's hand holding the window, trembling slightly, closed the window firmly.

Words of comfort linger in my heart.

At this time, all I can think of, except for a sentence of mourning, I am afraid that only the deceased is left, and there is no sadness.

And Li Taoyuan's fragility can even be blown down by a wind, how can he say this fluttering words?

Isn't it the last fatal straw added to the broken heart here?

In the early years of Zhong's third year, he was very sensitive to his own mind, and he couldn't comfort others most directly, but he could understand most straightforwardly how he had thousands of thoughts when he was most vulnerable.

"But ......"

Li Taoyuan's voice was very floating, as if it was a spirit: "My brother has always participated in various adventure clubs, and he also has some reputation in his circle, all kinds of protective equipment are excellent, and he has not been to a place where no one has explored, so he is ready to leave only when he is ready." ”

Zhong Sansan turned around, walked behind the other party, and gently stopped his shoulder.

The palm of his hand pressed on the other party's shoulder, bringing a little warmth, and it was the only comfort he could give the other party at this time.

Li Taoyuan leaned back, "My brother said before leaving, if you want to go to that mountain forest, where is the boundary is not dangerous, but the people have basically gone, and even almost become a scene, so what danger can there be?" ”

Zhong Sannian pursed his lips.

I actually know a lot of sources of information about what kind of adventure, and most of them are some promotional information.

Occasionally, there is something about the beautiful scenery excavated by the expedition team, which instantly became a scenic spot, and within a few months, it was completely turned into a garbage dump.

Some of them are beautiful scenery between the jungles, but they are also completely destroyed by man-made.

I don't know where Li Taoyuan's brother went? But it's already a scenic spot, so I'm afraid someone has already developed it.

The probability of encountering danger is indeed much smaller.

But it can't be said that there is no at all, there is always something to think about going elsewhere, and it is not impossible for my feet to slip for a while.

Zhong Sannian couldn't say such a thing, just quietly accompanied the other party.

Li Taoyuan reluctantly raised his arm and touched the hand floating on his shoulder.

"You know what? There are vendors set up stalls there, and my brother went there obviously just to go shopping, who would have thought that the original survey would be raining heavily and he would not be able to get out of the woods..."

She was a little excited when she said this, and turned her head to look at Zhong San, "Three years, you know what?" I can't figure it out for so many years, how can it be so good, suddenly it rains heavily and breaks the ditch, and all the way out in the future is blocked? Not to mention the artificial development in the later stage, the natural flowing water before has never been on the crack of the wall, so we can't go together at all. ”

Li Taoyuan grabbed Zhong Sansan's hand, "I have analyzed it with a mountain map, it is impossible to connect that road, how can I not flow the water in that direction, but it is blocked, he can't get out and can only stay in the mountain, so there is an accident." ”

Zhong Sannian only saw the hoarseness in Li Taoyuan's eyes, and the shouts that burst out of his life.

"You—you're saying your brother was killed?"

"Nope." If Li Taoyuan is missing, "it is not a human thing to reroute the mountains. ”
