"So you're going to die? Why do you die? You can't choose to leave that person? You can't live without him? ”

Qiu Rong'er said as she spoke, and the corners of her eyes suddenly moistened.

This is for a woman, but it is also what she has always wanted to ask her mother.

She never understood why her mother was clinging to such a man, even to the point of depression.

"Leave? A woman, married wrongly, is doomed to have no way to live, even if I leave him, an old woman lives alone, and she will not have to be pointed at in the future, how can a woman leave her husband......"

After the woman finished speaking, she suddenly sneered, her eyes filled with despair, as if she really had no way out.

Qiu Rong'er frowned, looking confused, and then realized that in the world under the mountain, a set of unwritten survival rules had been formulated for women.

The woman's words suddenly solved the doubts in her heart for many years, and also made her suddenly feel happy for herself.

Because no one in her life had ever instilled in her this ridiculously ridiculous set of secular rules.

"If you are willing to be brave enough to try to live a fulfilling solo life, when you suddenly look back one day, maybe you will understand something other than right and wrong."

Qiu Rong'er paused and continued: "We will leave for Xiangzhou in a few days, or will you go with us?" ”

The woman hesitated and looked at Qiu Rong'er and Qinghe back and forth, her eyes were a little more dazed, and a little less decisive.

Qiu Rong'er saw the woman's vacillation, and stopped talking, just looked at her quietly, waiting for her to make a choice.

After a while, the woman wiped the tears from her eyes with her wet sleeves, looked up at Qiu Rong'er, and nodded.

The woman suddenly opened her mind, and after careful consideration, she found that she could try it, and if she found that she really couldn't live at that time, it seemed that it was not too late to die at that time.

Leng Chitong didn't dare to interject at will on the side, and she didn't know what she could say, but she watched Qiu Rong'er stunned and moved the woman bit by bit, and couldn't help but look at her differently, and found out for the first time that she was not just a "poisonous woman".

The sun rose, the city gate was wide open, the chickens and dogs smelled each other, and the vendors and shops on the roadside of Yunguang City began to get busy one after another.

"Yo! Why did this son go out early in the morning? It's back! ”

As soon as the innkeeper saw Leng Chitong, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him warmly, looked at his soaked outfit strangely, and asked, "Huh?" Childe, where did you get all the water? ”

Leng Chitong only felt that the shopkeeper was a little strange today, and he inevitably had doubts in his heart, but he didn't want to say anything, so he just said casually: "Something?" ”

The shopkeeper saw that Leng Chitong was not a talkative master, so he went straight to the point and said: "Just now, a few guys planned that I was looking for a son, listening to that description, isn't it just you?" They said they had something for you, and when they saw that you were not there, they gave it into the hand of the lady who came with you. ”

Leng Chitong was curious, thinking in his heart what the old man would have to hand over to him.

"Then I'll go up first." Leng Chitong was quick to speak, and after he finished hastily, he was ready to go upstairs with a few people who were traveling with him.

"Eh, please wait a minute."

The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped Leng Chitong's footsteps and handed back the gold beads he had given him a few days ago.

"What is this?" Leng Chitong turned his head to look at the shopkeeper, and didn't understand for a while.

The shopkeeper smiled softly, without the bitter and mean appearance of the past, and said sincerely: "Since Gongzi is a friend of Master Zhang, I will pay for the small money for repairing the inn, and I don't need to break the bank." When my inn was about to open last year, I didn't suffer much from Master Zhang's help. ”

Since people don't want this gold bead, how can there be any reason not to get it back? Don't be in vain!

Leng Chitong listened to the shopkeeper's words, so he took the gold beads and went upstairs.

The woman was still thinking about how she should talk to her husband about leaving, but found that the guest room they were staying in was empty, and there was no trace of the luggage he had brought.

"He's gone?" The woman whispered, staring blankly at the empty room, although relieved, mixed with a hint of emptiness.

Qiu Rong'er stood at her door for a while, silent in a daze, with mixed feelings in her heart.

"Huh! He's finally able to do what a human being should do......" Qiu Rong'er muttered to herself, her voice soft enough to be heard, and then turned back to her room.

Looking at Qiu Rong'er, who was inexplicably missing a right hand, Jiao Niang was shocked, and asked nervously, just wanting to understand what happened this night.

Who knows, when Qiu Rong'er told everything and everything, Jiao Niang just looked at her worriedly, worried about her future life, and threw her a warm hug, but there was no incomprehension, and there was no scolding.

Leng Chitong returned to the room, only to feel a little tired, so he changed into dry clothes and fell on the bed.

But he never thought that when he closed his eyes, all that came to his mind was what happened last night and this morning, and he was obviously tired, but he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning.

Leng Chitong frowned, kept tossing and turning, and suddenly stopped struggling to fall asleep.

He lay flat on his back, his eyes unconsciously looking at the window, a strong light came, and he instinctively stretched out his right hand to block his eyes.

Then, he slowly opened the gap between his index and middle fingers, allowing a small ray of sunlight to pass through the gap and warm his eyes.

He has always liked brightness and light, and it always makes people feel that there is a little beautiful taste.

Looking at it, he suddenly sniffed, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

At this time, he inexplicably fell into memories, and slowly remembered the various people he had met along the way in the past two years, and his heart felt a little heavy inexplicably.

"...... of the Foggy Mountains"

Leng Chitong whispered two words, and there was a look of nostalgia in his eyes that could not be dispersed for a long time.

As a child, he had always fantasized about what the outside world was like, and always dreamed of seeing it with his own eyes one day.

Now, he has come to this world, but the old man in the white robe is gone, his biological father is gone, and Qiu Rong'er has given up his right hand for the obsession in his heart, it seems that this world is not as beautiful as he once imagined, but he can't go back.

In a faint melancholy, Leng Chitong's eyelids gradually became heavy, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

"Hitomi...... Hitomi ......"

A familiar voice suddenly appeared in Leng Chitong's ears, and it sounded like a heavenly sound, floating far and melodious.

Leng Chitong opened his sleepy eyes in a daze, and saw a white-haired old man in a pure white robe, exuding a faint white light, like a god, constantly calling himself.

"Master?"

Leng Chitong was pleasantly surprised, although he couldn't see the face of the person in front of him clearly, he easily recognized this figure and this familiar voice, thinking that he had finally come to find him!

"You're going to go down, go down......"

However, in the air, there was just such a sentence that Leng Chitong didn't quite understand.

Just as Leng Chitong was about to ask the reason, the light in front of him suddenly dimmed, and the figure disappeared at the same time.

"Master!"

Leng Chitong exclaimed, opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up.

"It was just ...... Dream? ”

Leng Chitong looked at the empty room in a daze, and couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

However, when he decided that it was just a dream, the wordless book was lying quietly on the ground at the moment, faintly emitting a bright light, and gradually returning to normal.

"When did it run away there, wasn't it still on my body before? Could it be that it wasn't a dream just now, but that Master had something to say to me? ”

Leng Chitong sat on the edge of the bed, talking to himself.

After a moment of stunned thought, he crouched down and picked up the wordless book, flicked the dust on it, and carefully hid it back in his arms.

He swayed slowly to the window, gently pushing the half-hidden window open.

"Unexpectedly, it's night again." Leng Chitong looked at the thick dark clouds in the sky, thinking that he was so confused that he had slept all day.

"Go down? Even Squeak said that Master asked her to accompany me to find the spirit bead, could it be that I really have any special identity? ”

Leng Chitong recalled some strange words in the dream, and stroked his chest with his hand in a daze, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Tuk-tuk." There was a knock on the door.

After Leng Chitong opened the door, he found that although it was night, he was thriving, and Jiao Niang, Qiu Rong'er, Squeak and even the woman were all standing in front of Leng Chitong's door.

"What is this going to do?" Leng Chitong looked at the people in front of him curiously, and he didn't know what they were doing.

"Little master!" A fat figure appeared from behind Jiao Niang and Qiu Rong'er, looked at Leng Chitong fixedly, and shouted diligently.

Leng Chitong didn't say anything, just looked at Wang Yun up and down repeatedly.

"Master, what are you looking at him like this? I haven't seen you for a few days, I don't know you anymore? He said that he had been trapped in the inn for the past few days to recuperate, and he was really panicked, saying that he wanted everyone to go fishing together, did you go? After speaking, he tilted his head and looked at Leng Chitong with a smile.

"This big night, going fishing? Did you buy what you need for fishing? Leng Chitong asked lightly.

"Hey, hey!" Wang Yun and Squeak suddenly laughed, and took out the fish and fishing rod hidden behind them.

At this time, Leng Chitong didn't have anything to say, anyway, he couldn't sleep now, and he felt that this group activity came at the right time, and he didn't go in vain.

"Let's go!"

Leng Chitong roared expressionlessly, "An order", took the lead, and strode up.

"Little master, slow down! If you go so fast, I won't be able to keep up! ”

Wang Yun was holding everyone's fishing rods in his hands, and a wooden bucket containing many earthworms was hung on his arm, and he was left behind, twisting his chubby body, trembling with fat all over his body, shouting and rushing all the way, looking very funny.
