Love is a sweet pain, and sincere love never takes a smooth path. —Shakespeare

The present, Stone Village.

Hong returned to the stone village without a doctor, and was warmly welcomed by the eldest sister-in-law and the whole village, heard that she was going to stay here, and enthusiastically repaired a courtyard for her that no one lived in.

After wandering for three months, the autumn has long passed, and seeing that the snow is about to fall, Hong took advantage of the sunny weather to go to the town to buy a lot of Western medicine for the treatment of fever and cold, and went up the mountain every day to pick medicinal herbs to fill the amount of medicine needed by patients in winter.

Later, Hong lived here for three years, and the most she ran in the three years was Stone Mountain.

There happened to be a shallow cave on the mountain, and Hong built the doorway with stones, and she sat in this stone house, as if she had really returned to the time when she was in the mountain and forest continent.

In the past three years, there have been many unmarried young men of school age in Stone Village who like Hong, and many who have come to say goodbye, but they have not received Hong's good face.

For Hong, who has lived thirty-two years in two worlds, although she still looks young and beautiful, her heart is as desolate as an old man in the twilight of her life.

She laughed, and felt that it must be a fantasy!

In recent months, Hong has met an old man with a fairy wind in Stone Mountain, and he had a meal at her house last time, and said that he would come again.

Venus is seventy-three years old, and he has been studying the I Ching Bagua cosmic magnetic field for thirty-five years since he was thirty-eight years old.

Half a year ago, Venus discovered that there was an inexplicable power surging in the stone mountain, as if something was about to explode, and this discovery made me particularly excited.

Recently, he met a girl who loved to collect medicine, and the girl's empty and see-through eyes seemed like the once desperate self.

On this day, Venus packed up the coordinates he had placed, and when he went down the mountain, he happened to meet a rainbow coming out of the stone house, and the old and the young walked down the mountain on their front and back feet, and no one spoke along the way, but it was quiet.

Who knew that when Hong was about to enter the door, Venus, who had all white hair, said to Hong: "The girl cooks a good meal, can you take care of the old man again?" ”

Hong heard the voice, and looked around again, except for herself, there was no second person, and realized that the old man was talking to herself.

Hong didn't know what was going on with this old man, and frowned and said, "I'm not afraid that I don't want to eat the food I cooked, aren't you old and have lost your sense of taste?" ”

What Hong said is the truth, she ate the food cooked by her grandfather when she was a child, ate the food in the school cafeteria after she went to high school and college, ate the food cooked by Jian An after graduation, and ate the food in the otherworldly continent was also made of silverstone.

Her evaluation of her cooking skills is just that she can fill her stomach, sometimes it will be burnt and burnt, sometimes it is half-cooked, and even she finds it unpalatable.

Who knew that the old man suddenly looked down at the noodles cooked like tadpoles in the bowl, and said with a misty and ethereal gaze: "That's because the rice you cook tastes the same as the one she cooks......"

“……”

Hong looked at the old man in front of him who fell into memories because of a bowl of noodles, and from the old man's eyebrows, it could be seen that he must have been a handsome and dashing handsome guy when he was young, she thought that the old man must have had a gorgeous and unforgettable fairy love, but I don't know if it was a lucky or unfortunate ending?

She was sure that it was the latter, otherwise why would the old man still be alone, otherwise why would he miss it deeply because of a bowl of unpalatable noodles?

Hong suddenly became a little interested in this old man's love, and now her favorite thing to do is to collect love stories in addition to returning to another continent.

Blinking her big bright eyes, she tentatively said, "Old man, has my mother-in-law passed away?" ”

The old man sat on the stone pier in the courtyard, and the person who was talking about cooking in high spirits just now, only after a while did he look at Hong's eyes and said: "Me and her are farther away than life and death, and I am afraid that there is no hope in this life." ”

A distance greater than life and death?

Hong was stunned when she heard this, maybe others didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but she clearly understood the meaning of the old man's expression.

However, she felt incredible, she had experienced crossing, but how could this kind of unattainable adventure become an existence like a rotten street?

While Hong was thinking about this, Jin Xing looked at the stunned Hong and got up, shook his head, put his hands behind his back and changed his face to a relaxed expression: "The little girl is scared silly? You don't understand, the old man won't blame you~"

It wasn't until Venus's words became far away that Hong suddenly came back to her senses in a daze, and saw the old man who was still a fairy in her eyes yesterday and the old man who walked away with his hands behind his back at this moment, as if he had suddenly changed his soul.

Hong felt that she had found a soulmate, and she knew that if she told someone else, she would probably be treated as a psychopath, and the old man in front of her must have had the same opportunity as her.

Maybe it's because she's been hiding her heart too hard in the past three years, and she's anxious to find someone to talk to. Perhaps she wanted to hear about the old man's love, and the rainbow ghost shouted at the old man.

"I know, I understand, even if it is death, as long as I can return to that world, I will do it immediately when I return to that person, am I right?"

The old man, who had already walked outside the door, suddenly stopped.

Venus suddenly turned around and went back into the yard, her old but not cloudy eyes looked at the thin girl in the yard excitedly, the cool breeze of late autumn blew the rainbow lightly and danced, and the thin figure seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind, and the girl also made him feel slightly distressed.

He stretched out his hand and patted Hong's head and said, "Child, you have suffered...... I hope you don't stick to it, though, in case it's my age...... Hey......"

Maybe someone understands their own suffering, or maybe it is because she thinks of her grandfather who called her when she was a child, and Hong Zai's tears welled up in an instant, and tears welled up in her eyes.

……

Three years later, the otherworldly continent, Huaguo Mountain. Number Seven

Today's Huaguo Mountain is also known as the former Black Pimple Mountain, which was once used as a coal mine and was stopped mining five years ago.

After the mining stopped, the whole mountain was planted with countless fruit trees by the tribesmen, one to summer and autumn, the fragrance of flowers is full of garden, melons and fruits are fragrant, and the black pimple mountain is also renamed "Huaguo Mountain" by Jian'an.

It's just that unlike the mountain, the entire top of the mountain is surrounded by a verdant bamboo forest, and there are many large and small medicine fields planted in the middle, and there are several wooden houses scattered in the middle of the medicine fields.

One of the wooden houses in disrepair was the house of a strange man, who had a beard, his hair was messed up behind his head, and his clothes were no longer recognizable.

The weather in the otherworldly continent is cold, and even though Huaxia City is much warmer than the grassland, they are all wearing plush undershirts and big coats at this time.

However, the strange man in front of him was dressed in a summer shirt and shorts, with a pair of old shoes on his feet, and a shabby coat covering his skinny body on the outside.

He was neither hungry nor too cold, and all day long he lay straight on the wooden couch in front of the wooden house and watched the starry sky at night...... Sometimes it looks like days and nights.

The man remained motionless until the cold wind blew hard, until the night was almost over, until the starry sky was completely covered by dark clouds, until the fine particles of snow fell on his face like fine salt.

The man slowly spread out his slender palms to catch the first snow falling from the sky, and his lips couldn't help muttering: "It's snowing again, you left me for another year, Hong'er, come back soon, okay?" I miss you so much..."

After the man finished speaking, his big hand held the fine snow particles that were about to melt, and gently closed his eyes, and the whole person fell asleep in the wind and snow.

"Brother, brother......"

"Oishi, Oishi......"

"Captain, Captain......"

In the morning, Yinshi slowly opened his eyes with a noisy noise, and it was the anxious eyes of several people who came into view, he slowly got up from the wooden couch, and then sat up straight and said: "Why are you all here, you are so noisy that I am dreaming......"

Eminem, who was already two children, had tears in her eyes, sobbed and patted the thin snow on Silverstone's body and said, "Brother, is it snowing?" Why don't you go back to the house and sleep. ”

Silverstone looked around and said disapprerovingly, "What are you crying about?" This bit of wind and snow can't freeze me, dog, you hurry up and bring the herbs back......"

"I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay here with you and take care of you......"

On Yinshi's emaciated cheeks, his frowning eyebrows were still not angry, and he said confidently: "Nonsense, I'm here waiting for your sister-in-law to come back, what are you doing here?" There is no wall of fire on the mountain, and even a cold woman's house can bear it? Besides, I'm fine, I don't need anyone else to take care of me..."

Vanilla choked on Yinshi's words, remembering that Hong didn't know if he had said goodbye or had died, and let his brother suffer on the top of the mountain for three years, and couldn't help but shout angrily with Yinshi.

"You didn't marry her, what kind of sister-in-law is she, besides, she won't come back in the future, look at how thin you are now? No matter how much you are tortured in the mountains, Sister Hong will never come back in this life......"

Silverstone heard Vanilla say this, his ribbed chest suddenly rose and fell violently, and the expression on his face was extremely stern: "Shut up, Hong'er said that she would come back, next time I hear you say this, don't call me brother again, dog, get her away for me~"

"Yes, Captain."

The dog had never seen Silverstone so angry, and he had been following Silverstone since he was a child, and he had a natural obedience to Silverstone, so he quickly pulled the vanilla and hid it behind him.

Da Meng and Yurido, who came together, felt sorry for the general to torture themselves like this, and in addition to being distressed, they didn't believe that the doctor would leave the general, and three years ago, the doctor was obviously shot in the chest, and the general didn't believe that the doctor had left this world.

Tall and long-legged, as the lord of Huaxia City, Yin Yu was optimistic that his brother was so stubborn, he squatted down on the other side of Yinshi, looking at the good brother who was full of elegance in the past and was now in pain, staring at his eyes to persuade.

"Dashi, Rainbow won't come back, cheer up! The people of Huaxia City still need you. ”

A pair of dark eyes in Silverstone's eye sockets, which had become deeper due to emaciation, glared at Yinyu with hatred, as if what he had just said should be struck by thunder from the sky, the expression on his face changed from stunned to angry, and only a dry cheek was left with emaciation, and his nasolabial folds drooped even more, looking extremely stern and terrifying.

Yinshi, who was emaciated, got up and walked to the wooden house and said: "Yinyu, I'll tell you, I'll hear this kind of thing come out of your mouth again, don't blame me for ignoring brotherhood, and other people's lives and deaths have nothing to do with me, I won't leave the wooden house until Hong'er comes back, you all go back!" Don't come here again in the future. ”

Yin Yu still didn't give up and said: "Dashi, it's been three years, you've already been right about that woman, An An said that she may not come back, even if she wants to, she may not be able to come back......"

The emaciated figure suddenly stopped, and the man seemed to have only four limbs and torso, and his body covered by only a human skin on the outside of the bones shook slightly, and quickly held on to the door frame.

"Haha~"

The sound of laughter carried infinite desolation, Yinshi turned around and returned to Yinyu a few steps, the slender but withered big hand lifted the shirt on Yinyu's chest, and a pair of red eyes met his eyes and said, "Let me ask you, if Jian An asked you to wait for her to come back before she disappeared, would you wait or not?" ”

Yinyu was not angry or afraid when he was carried by Yinshi, he was just suddenly speechless when asked by his good brother, as the master of Yicheng, he still only had Jian An a woman for many years, and the depth of the relationship between the two can be imagined.

He thought that if Jian An left, he would definitely wait like this, even if he waited until he died, he would not accept another woman, right? He couldn't empathize with the heart of a good brother, he was too ashamed.

Yinshi saw that Yinyu's eyes changed from stunned to confused, and then from confused to guilty, so he slowly let go of his hand and said, "No one should come here in the future." ”

Jian An walked to Yinyu's side, and was squeezed by a cold man who was frightened by assumptions, but she didn't have time to care about these. The red eyes looked at Yinshi and didn't know how to speak, what a distance from this world to another world?

Seeing Yinshi return to the house and close the door, a group of people outside the door were in a very heavy mood, they wanted to speak and stopped, and knew that they could not be persuaded to come, so they had no choice but to return to Huaxia City the same way.

The snow in the otherworldly continent continued for more than ten days, and Yinshi lay on the bed in the wooden house, breathing in the air that had long since lost the smell of women, and his dry eyes were wet.

He held the woman's clothes in one hand, and slit the wrist holding the clothes with a dagger in the other, and the smell of blood filled the room in a moment.

The man slowly closed his eyes, the tears in his eyes finally dripped down, and he muttered in his mouth: "Hong'er, I'm sorry, I know I can't wait for you, I can't stand it anymore, the days without you are too bitter, every moment of life is heartache, if you can come back, come back now, okay?" I miss you, I miss you, I miss you......"
