"Of course, there is physical work, and it should be said that it is precisely because it requires a lot of practice that I don't have the strength, so I have always stayed in the theoretical stage." Xiao Ru commanded her brother unceremoniously: "You come, be my test subject!" ”

"Anyway, I'm also your brother, can you give me some constructive suggestions?"

Lao Wanfeng actually knew what constructive advice was, which made this little sister surprised by his wisdom.

"And brother, why are you here?" Xiaoru has always had a deep grudge against Lao Wanfeng.

"How about I show up here? What is there to surprise you? Lao Wanfeng saw a little contempt in her eyes, she dared to despise him, a little girl!

"Your brother and I are also elites with thousands of expectations, what do you mean by these strange eyes! Besides, I'm not here to help you! ”

"So what are you doing here? Did Xiao Yin force you to come? ”

"Hahahaha joke! He is my dog, and it is my duty as the owner to help my dog! ”

Seeing that this guy was getting more and more outrageous, Qiong Shanyin's angry eyes rolled over: "If you don't want to stay here, you can leave now!" ”

"Dogs?" Xiao Ru was still immersed in the above sentence and did not react: "You mean...... Xiaobai? ”

These two words made Lao Wanfeng's face collapse in an instant.

“…… I'm sorry brother, it's my fault. Xiao Ru saw that his expression was different, and she actually gathered all the eyebrows of Fang Cai.

"......" Lao Wanfeng was silent for a while, and no longer babbling, but stroked her head, then stood up and asked Qiong Shanyin: "Is there anything I can do?" ”

"I need some bark, please go collect some and come back." Qiong Shanyin was not far from them, so he naturally caught his words and deeds, but this also made him a little confused.

He had never seen the lonely look in Lao Wanfeng's eyes.

Lao Wanfeng took the task and went alive again.

Qiong Shanyin looked at Xiao Ru who came to help draw the picture and said, "May I ask, who is Xiaobai?" ”

Xiaoru was taken aback, and she couldn't hide it when she thought about it, so she said, "Xiaobai, Xiaobai is his dog." ”

If you want to trace why this Xiaobai has become something that Lao Wanfeng is unwilling to touch in his heart, it has to be ten years ago, when he was still a hairy boy who didn't know much about the suffering of the world.

But Lao Wanfeng, who was twelve years old at the time, had already begun to show his strength, so among the younger generation, he was also a leader, so he was also proud.

So he couldn't bear his thoughts, and always ran outside, and one day he rode out, and the horses were frightened, and they ran out all at once, and he didn't know where the road was, so he could only cry and look around.

Then he came to a valley that was so thick with purple mist that it was impossible to see below, and as he walked forward, he felt a creaking under his feet.

He removed his foot, leaned down to take a closer look, and finally saw that it was white broken bones.

Lao Wanfeng, who was still a child, was so frightened that he desperately wanted to flee outside, but a gust of wind hit, and he could only see the vast and endless purple smoke in front of him.

It was smoky, and nothing could be seen in the distance.

So his horse was lost in the fog.

He was at a loss and could only run and cry in the fog, hoping that someone would come and rescue him.

I don't know how long it took, he couldn't find his way through the fog, and he was exhausted. But all he could hear was the sound of a bell coming from nowhere, and the jingle was getting closer and closer, and he sat up tired trying to see what it was.

And then......

"What did he see?" Qiong Shanyin asked, "Is it the dog?" ”

"......" Xiao Ru's face gradually turned pale after saying this, she clenched his fingertips and said, "If I tell you the truth, you must not tell anyone else." ”

"Is there anything that can't be said about this?"

The narration of the story suddenly stopped here, but it aroused his curiosity, Xiao Ru leaned closer to his ear and said: "In fact, in this world, there is no Xiaobai at all. ”

Qiong Shanyin felt a gust of wind behind him, making him feel as if he wanted to freeze his whole body.

"It can't be." He squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "As far as his reaction is concerned, if it is not real, then who is Xiaobai in your mouth?" ”

"This is what we have been puzzled about for a long time." Xiaoru said: "My brother was carried back by a horse that day, but he had already been in a coma for three days on the horse, which means that he was already in a coma when he turned over and fell off the horse, and the horse brought him back. This was the doctor's speculation, and he did have a head injury, but it wasn't serious. ”

"But isn't that the case?"

"But when my brother woke up, he wanted to find a white puppy anyway, and said that the dog had brought him back, and insisted that he had walked back by himself, and that he was greeting his father and mother at the door when he came back, and that they were having dinner at that time."

"This ...... Could it be a halluciation he saw when he was unconscious, or a dream? Qiong Shanyin said.

"But when my brother came back, we were indeed having dinner." Xiao Ru's face became ugly: "And my brother can accurately describe what the clothes on their bodies at that time, and what they ate for dinner, are all the same as what my brother said." ”

“……！” Qiong Shanyin really felt a cold sweat break out this time.

"The doctor couldn't find out what the cause was, but this abnormal situation always existed, that is, my brother could see the so-called white dog, but we couldn't see it. The doctor said that this may have hurt my brother's consciousness, and we can only guide but not force, so we can only cooperate with my brother and raise Xiaobai under his eyes but reality does not exist. ”

"It's really hard for you." Qiong Shanyin can now think of how disturbing their family is facing such a guy who talks to the air all day long, but it is even worse to have to cooperate with the performance in the same way.

"But in the end...... Where did Xiaobai go? He asked.

“…… This matter is also weird, although Xiaobai is a thing that was imagined by his brother, but I don't know why, one day, my brother suddenly said that Xiaobai died. I didn't say that my father killed him. ”

"Huh?" Qiong Shanyin was full of doubts.

"Yes, when we heard my brother's words, we reacted the same as you, but the doctor said that it was a sign of improvement, that is, the blood stasis in his brain may have cleared, maybe it was so, so the hallucination disappeared."

"But what your brother said is not that Xiaobai disappeared, but that Xiaobai died and was killed by his father?" Qiong Shanyin grabbed a bit of the words and asked.

"I also questioned this at the time, but my father didn't listen to me, and there is nothing more important to him than my brother returning to normal, and what is this matter?"

Xiao Ru smiled bitterly, then spread out the paper in front of him and said, "Fortunately, I can see you now, otherwise I would really think that you were also his blind idea." ”

Qiong Shanyin touched his hand and felt the coldness of his fingertips.

It's a weirdly tight matter.

"Xiaobai." While chopping the bark of a tree, Lao Wanfeng's thoughts were uncontained, and he thought of the little white dog who had saved him.

Out of the purple mist appeared a little white dog with a bell, and how pitiful it looked, with stubby limbs and a little red on the tip of its nose, coming towards him.

Suddenly he had the strength, and he struggled to get up, and reached out to the puppy, who obediently walked up to him and licked it. His palms and then walked in the other direction, looking back at him as he went, as if to tell him to follow.

"Little one, are you going to take me out?"

Lao Wanfeng tried to stand up, for some reason the sky was spinning, his steps were like stepping on cotton, he only remembered that he followed the little white dog all the way forward, he didn't know how long he had walked, and the scenery around him seemed to be distorted, and until he walked back to the house and saw his father and mother.

He couldn't hold it anymore and fainted.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to find Xiaobai.

But everyone looked at him in confusion, and they thought he was crazy again and again, otherwise how could they say that there would be a little white dog for no reason.

But he knew very well that it was Xiaobai who saved him.

At that time, he was young and couldn't care about talking nonsense with his family, so he stumbled out of bed and jumped out of bed, full of desire to find his dog, he didn't believe that the dog who saved him would disappear.

He searched exhaustedly, day and night, his parents said he was crazy, and yet it appeared in front of him.

At every moment of near death, it always appeared in front of him.

And then for the past five years, he has been dependent on Xiaobai.

It will appear from time to time, playing with him, although it will always go to some strange places, but with his little white, he will not be afraid of difficulties and dangers.

But as I get older, I rarely go to such dangerous places.

But Xiaobai has always been a scar in his heart, and Xiaobai's death is his fault.

He didn't take care of Xiaobai dutifully, only to see it lying in a pool of blood, as if it had been pierced by something, and he stared closely, it was his father's sword.

He was angry and sad and went to confront his father, but his father looked at him blankly, repeatedly denied that he had killed Xiaobai, and what made him even more painful was that all the people in the family were oriented towards his father, even Lao Tang.

They didn't believe in themselves, they didn't believe in the sword he saw.

But he can't avenge Xiaobai, because the person who killed it was his father.

They used to be so indifferent and indifferent to Xiaobai, even if they turned a blind eye, even at this moment, they were still indifferent to Xiaobai's death.

Except for him, everyone in the family is gradually forgetting Xiaobai.
