Chapter 23: Light Snow Falls
"Why are you only back now, it's already dark."
"Why did you get out, I don't know it's dangerous."
The two spoke almost at the same time, looking at each other as if they were reproachful, joyful, and surprised.
But they were followed by two smiles that were slightly revealed.
"Hurry up, it's dangerous now."
Mo Ran subconsciously grabbed her hand, which was extremely cold because of her ability. She didn't refuse, just frowned slightly.
Hearing this, Ye Qingxue also seemed to feel something instantly, in fact, what did she need to feel, in the increasingly dark, those few points of green light instantly exposed them.
But he didn't follow closely, maybe he felt that there was one more Ye Qingxue and he was afraid that it would be almost zero, so he stopped and let out a low "whin" sound from time to time.
Of course, with Ye Qingxue here, Mo Ran would never be afraid of them, what he was afraid of was that once the battle was fought, it would attract more dogs after a long time.
With Ye Qingxue's help, he quickly returned to the small building where he lived.
Mo Ran directly opened a room with no one next to him for Qiu Wei's brothers and sisters, and then threw down some water and food and left it alone.
When I returned to the room, I saw Ye Qingxue waiting at the door and did not leave.
Mo Ran took out a candle from his bag and lit it, smiled at her, and the look of gratitude on his face spontaneously appeared. "Thank you, if you hadn't come, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come back."
Although it was a bit alarmist, in the dark night, he really didn't have much confidence that he would win.
"You don't want to save people's lives." Ye Qingxue seemed to be a little reproachful.
"I'm not saving people, I'm just saving myself." Mo Ran smiled slightly, seeing Ye Qingxue at this moment, although he was blamed, it made him feel very happy.
Hearing this, Ye Qingxue didn't say anything anymore, but just glanced thoughtfully at Mo Ran's face.
Then he turned around and sat on the sofa, stared at Mo Ran for a long time, and then said slowly:
"I'll go with you tomorrow, I want to save myself too."
What she said was very meaningful, but Mo Ran knew what she meant, and couldn't help but be a little grateful and a little admired for her.
Whatever the reason for her to wait there, even if it was really out of fear, but having this sentence already shows her courage and character.
It's not terrible to die, it's terrible to live; It's not difficult to live, it's hard to live with your heart and go forward.
A person who has lost himself, a person who has lost his humanity, although he is a human being, can he still be called a human being?
From the moment Mo Ran decided to live, he decided that no matter how difficult it was, he could die, and he must live as a real person.
And at this moment, he actually saw this same trick in Ye Qingxue's eyes.
However, he didn't say much, just took out a bunch of energy crystals from his bag and put them on the small table in front of her, and then said:
"If you want to go, let's go to the third level."
But Ye Qingxue didn't take it, just looked at him and shook his head and said, "I already have level three." ”
What she said made Mo Ran shocked, and only after hearing her say this did she observe her carefully, only to find that her face was really a little pale, it must have been caused by forcible something.
Looking at the rest, the hair is noticeably lighter than before, and the blue of the eyes is even purer.
Although it may not have changed much, with Mo Ran's current observation, you don't need to look closely at it to see it.
The reason why I didn't see it was just to focus on other aspects, and even more so in the night, and because of the innate suggestion.
"You ......" Mo Ran's mouth opened, as if he wanted to say something, but as if he didn't know what to say, his expression was immediately a little dull.
"I was scared for a long time after you left this morning."
But Ye Qingxue didn't seem to see his expression at all, but lowered her head and hugged her knees, curled up on the sofa, a little low, as if talking to herself.
"I heard all the noises you made down there, and the whining and barking of dogs that I heard in the afternoon."
"I was so scared that I didn't dare to move."
"I was going to look for you, but I'm scared."
"I knew I couldn't go on like this, so I picked up the axe you left behind, and when I killed the first one, I was going crazy with fear, but I just thought about ......, and I persevered."
"I don't know what kind of mentality I had at that time, but I felt that there was suddenly no fear in my heart, and I was replaced by a kind of madness. I'm constantly learning you to search, one by one. ”
"For a few hours, one after the other, twenty-five in all, when the moment of evolution, I felt like I had finally come to my senses.
Seeing that there were corpses all around me, and that there was not a single living person, I was so frightened that I almost collapsed;
I would love to find you, but I don't know where you have gone, so I can only come back and wait for you, in the direction where I heard that voice. ”
"It's just that you never showed up, but it was already night, and I was so scared that I felt like I was about to suffocate, and I thought what if I was left alone in the whole world."
"Finally, you appeared, and I've never been so happy at that moment, you know?"
She seemed to be talking to herself, and only then did she raise her head to meet the gaze that Mo Ran had been looking at her, and there seemed to be tears flashing in her eyes, and she didn't know why.
Mo Ran seemed to be a little confused, he didn't know what to say, what to do, he could only stand with a candle in a daze and look at her with a confused face.
Ye Qingxue looked at his stupid demeanor, but it seemed that she suddenly saw something very funny, and she seemed to control the "poof" and turned her worries into joy, but immediately she seemed to feel wrong, and hurriedly lowered her head and turned away.
Being laughed at by her, Mo Ran seemed to come back to her senses, although she didn't know what she wanted to say, maybe even she didn't know what to say.
It's just that I want to find someone to say something I want to say and release the fear in my heart.
So why bother to dig deeper, Mo Ran also sat next to her with a slight smile, put the candle on the table and played with those spars, as if he was a little relaxed and said slowly:
"Alas, it's really a failure, I wanted to show off and get some goodwill, but it seems that I was busy in vain."
Just finished speaking so easily, turned his head to meet the gaze she saw, but spoke again with a stern expression:
"How can you act on your own, what if something happens!"
Although he was so relaxed, his heart trembled with fear.
"If she's dead......"
He didn't even dare to think about such a result, he found that he really liked her a little, maybe just because of the drawbridge effect, but like is like.
Looking at him who was still teasing lightly one moment, and asking so harshly the next, it seemed that he was impulsive and desperate.
The sternness was full of blame, self-blame, and seemed to have infinite tenderness in her eyes, Ye Qingxue's face was a little stunned at first, but the next moment the tears couldn't stop flowing.
The two pairs of eyes looked at each other so deeply, like two magnets that attracted each other, and even the frequency of the heartbeat seemed to be exactly the same.
What a blessing, in such an apocalyptic world, you can still find a mutual comfort to rely on, and pin your whole heart and soul sorrow and hope on it.
