I made a huge mistake, that is, I misestimated Sheng Shiyao's temperament. He is a person who doesn't even bother to hide his own purpose, he is also a scheming person, he is also a person who can analyze all your movements and expressions, such an unpredictable and unfathomable person, how can I be his opponent?

From the very beginning, he clearly set his goal on his grandmother's purple gold box, and he didn't even have a reason to occupy it. And I naively thought that he was taking the box in order to blackmail me to keep me, and this is precisely his cleverness, when people initially determine the purpose of the other party, it is difficult to change their original mind later. And then he behaved dispensable to the box, put it aside at will, and could even return it to me, but I wanted to leave but there was no way, which made me more determined.

It wasn't until I found another box in the stone chamber that resembled my grandmother's purple gold box that I woke up. It can be said that Sheng Shiyao is very indifferent to people and things, and there are very few things that can arouse his interest, but he is more restless than usual in the stone room, and he doesn't even care about touching the mechanism, and he has to take out the box under the stone slab.

After listening to my analysis and questioning, something flashed in Sheng Shiyao's eyes, so fast that people couldn't catch it, only to see a smile and an expressionless downward gaze staring at me. I saw my own reflection in his dark eyes, embarrassed and small, these two words are enough to describe me at this moment.

I don't know how long we looked at each other, maybe it was ten minutes, maybe it was five minutes, it could just be a moment and an instant, but I felt it was a long, long time. Because I know that when he speaks again, it means the end.

When I was the only one left in the ward, Sheng Shiyao's words before leaving echoed in my ears for a long time, he said: "Cheng Xiao, you are too self-exalted, I Sheng Shiyao want one thing, I don't need to spend those thoughts, I will...... Forcible taking. Since you are so precious to this box, then now it is all back to Zhao, from now on, you and I are strangers. ”

From now on, you and I are strangers.

These were the last eight words he left for me to ...... It's heart-wrenching from the outside to the inside.

My grandmother's purple gold box is now lying alone at my feet, and I don't even have the courage to bend down to pick it up. Am I thinking wrong? He didn't approach me for this box? His expression just now, from sarcasm to disdain, to indifference without a trace of emotion, the purple gold box was taken out of his arms, and his hand was loosened, and it fell straight to the ground, making a dull thud, and when I reacted, I only saw the door open, and the figure in front of me had disappeared behind the door.

His words slapped me in the face like a slap, shattering my eloquent dissection and judgment. As he said, if he really wants my box, why should he use bitter meat? I figured this out at the beginning, why did I doubt it later?

It hurts! But I don't know where the pain is, but I feel that the pain hits the nerves and runs through the whole body. I bent over in pain, and my body froze as I bent over, as I felt something in my arms, and immediately thought it was Shadow Moon. Shadow Moon! Our eyes widened, and the next second I picked up the purple gold box on the ground, and the person rushed out of the ward like an arrow.

There was only one thought left in my head: Shadow Moon was his, and I would give it back to him.

Later, when I remembered my actions at this time, I already understood that I was actually grasping any possibility that could keep Sheng Shiyao, and Shadow Moon was the only connection he had with me.

Rushing from the hospital building to the bottom of the building, I saw Sheng Shiyao get into a taxi from a distance, and then Zhou Tong and the three of them also got in, and when I arrived at the gate, the taxi had already left. I anxiously flagged down a taxi on the side of the road, but all the people along the road were carrying people, and in the blink of an eye the car carrying them had turned a corner.

I ran to ask the doorman where the bus was standing, and the doorman showed me the way, and without thinking about it, I ran away. It's not that I'm acting impulsively, but this Yunli County is a small county, and the station is not too far away. Thanks to my high-intensity "physical training" for a while, I didn't feel out of breath when I ran, and when I ran to the long-distance bus station, I just saw the backs of the four of them walking into the station.

But when I ran into the station, I looked at people all over the place, and I couldn't find them after looking for a long time. I suddenly remembered that last night Zhou Tong said that the car to Chengdu today was eight o'clock, and when I looked up at the clock, it was already pointed at seven o'clock and five o'clock, and they must have gotten in the car! I walked through the crowd to the departure window and was about to rush in, but was stopped by the staff and asked for a ticket. Where will I have a ticket, Zhou Tong didn't give it to me yesterday, I want to say buy it now, but I can touch all the pockets on my body, and I don't even have a dime.

At this time, the two staff members looked at me defensively, as if they were looking at a person who was about to evade the fare. The loudspeaker is already shouting that the bus to Chengdu is about to depart, so that those who have not yet checked their tickets hurry up. I was ruthless, directly hit the staff, rushed into the station entrance, did not need to look for a car parked in front of the door hung "Yunli - Chengdu" sign, the door has been closed, I went around the body, in the last row of the position found Zhou Tong, he was sitting at the window.

After just a few taps on the window, he saw me, looked stunned, turned back and said something to the person next to him. At this time, the staff had rushed over, and at the same time brought the security guard, who wanted to pull me out, I asked them to say that my friend's things had dropped, and I was here to return it, apparently my hard breaking behavior just now annoyed the staff, and commanded the security guard to drag me to the exit.

I reached into my arms and pressed it on the hilt of Shadow Moon's sword, but I couldn't pull it out, because if I did, they would think I was a thug with a murder weapon. Just as I was about to be dragged off the platform, the doors of the car opened, and a man stepped down, holding his breath to see the other person's face, and disappointment overwhelmed me.

It was Zhou Tong who came down, and he came over to tell the security guard who dragged me away that we knew each other, and the staff would be suspicious, but he still let the security guard let go of me and stared at me from the sidelines, for fear that I would evade the ticket and get into the car without them paying attention.

Zhou Tong frowned and asked me why I was still chasing after me, and I said that I wanted to see Sheng Shiyao again and had something to say to him. Zhou Tong's eyes became extremely stern when he looked at me, and he said with a calm face: "Cheng Xiao, Brother Yao will not see you again." If it weren't for the last bit of affection that you saved us with your life, I wouldn't have gotten out of the car to talk to you. You'd better do it for yourself in the future. After saying that, he turned around to go back to the car, I quickly grabbed his arm, and said urgently: "I'm here to return the Shadow Moon, the Shadow Moon is his, and I want to return it to him." ”

Zhou Tong looked back at me, and finally dropped a sentence: "You wait, I'll ask Brother Xiayao." ”

He walked towards the car, did not get into the car, but walked all the way to the position of the back seat of the car, looked up and knocked on the window, the window glass fell, Sheng Shiyao's face appeared at the window, after listening to Zhou Tong, he glanced at me, that glance made my heart lift, and finally his lips moved, and said something, Zhou Tong looked at me and nodded, and walked towards me again.

"Brother Yao said......" After Zhou Tong opened his mouth, it seemed difficult to speak, and he was stuck there for a long time, but there was no follow-up. I looked at him with a blank eye, I had expectations in my heart, but I didn't know what I was expecting, and finally Zhou Tong said: "Brother Yao said, don't break the copper and iron, you should be rewarded." ”

I stared at the indifferent and expressionless face by the car window from afar, what blocked the view, became blurred, and the face became a vain bubble, and then it became smaller and smaller, and gradually disappeared.

"Girl, the car is gone."

I turned my head blankly, saw the staff's hesitant expression, and was stunned for several seconds before I realized what he meant. Looking back, the parking place of the car just now was empty, and there was no trace of the car at the gate over there. Zhou Tong naturally followed the car and left, but he remembered that in the end, someone seemed to sigh heavily in his ear and said, "It's hard to collect the water."

Yes, how to get back the water that was spilled. I thought I had found the only connection with someone, and I wanted to grab the last reins, but this connection was just a broken iron to him, and I didn't care about it at all.

The staff handed over a tissue, "Wipe your tears, Chengdu is not far away, girl, you can go to see him, there is no need to cry like this." I raised my hand to wipe it, my hands were wet, and I still couldn't hold back the tears. I saw sympathy in the eyes of the staff, and wondered if I should be grateful for these crystalline droplets so that they would no longer treat me like a thief.

Instead of picking up the tissues, I turned around and walked out of the platform, and then walked through the waiting crowd and out of the bus station. Standing at the intersection in a daze, I didn't know where to go, as if all my gravity had disappeared all at once.

Strange people, strange roads, strange landscapes, I was never afraid, so I tossed and turned from city to city, but at this moment, when I looked at these strangers around me, I thought of the sentence over and over again: From now on, you and I are strangers. The meaning of strangers is that the bridge returns to the bridge, the road returns to the road, and goodbye is a stranger. I didn't understand what the pain was, but I realized one thing: the original taste of being expelled was so uncomfortable, my mouth was full of bitterness, and my eyes were chapped and painful.

Once again, I was back two months ago, penniless, living on the streets, and it was like a dream, and now I woke up. If it weren't for the shadow moon in my arms, I would have thought I was dreaming a false dream.

In the evening, I walked into the police station and asked for help. made up a lie that was not a lie, telling the police that he had been stolen, that his mobile phone, wallet and documents had been stolen, and that he could not return home. The police in Yunli County were very enthusiastic, and after asking for details, they arranged to buy me a ticket and personally took me to the station to explain to the staff. I bought a transit ticket, I needed to go to the city-level city to take the train, the police accompanied me to the city-level city, and after explaining the situation to the staff at the railway station, I took the train home.

See, it's so simple, I should have done it then, but by mistake I chose to stay there and meet him...... Leaning on the window of the train, watching the scenery on the side of the road regress, my heart has been calm, and there are no more waves, as if those out-of-control emotions have been withdrawn, leaving only a faint detachment.

People always have to learn how to appreciate the scenery in life, how to stop and look at the real self during the journey, how to face the ordinary self, how to face the diverse world, how to have a tiger in their hearts, and at the same time let the tiger smell the rose.

I meditated in my heart: Render to God what is God's, and give Caesar's what is Caesar's.
