This last sentence is clearly talking about my mother and me. Biting my lip and patiently, I tried my best to ignore the sourness of my eyes, but I finally failed, so I had to turn around and look up.

The warm palm was on my shoulder, and Huan Ke silently exchanged glances with Zong Zhengxu and Xiao Xianhui. I knew that the disease was so bad that it was impossible to recover, and the last step was to do it. But...... At least try to make them less miserable in their last moments.

Before nightfall, everyone who had been infected put on new clothes. Wrapped in heavy clothing, everyone's face is strangely rosy, as if they are healthy.

There was a wide variety of food purchased from the neighboring city, and while Huan Ke and the others were distributing winter clothes, I was busy making dinner in the back kitchen. Through the seemingly non-stop busyness, paralyzing the cruel parting and truth that are close at hand.

The delicacies were served one by one, and they all seemed to know that this was the last delicacy, and although no one spoke, the eyes of all were like mist in the steaming heat. I don't know who started humming first, then the second, then the third...... The sad and ethereal ballad rises to the sky, it is to pour, it is to tell, it is to feel, it is to say goodbye.

Qingqing Ling on the cypress, Lei Lei Jian in the stone. In the world of life, suddenly like a traveler from afar......

Fighting wine and entertainment, talking thick is not thin. Drive a horse, the game is like a ......

The mausoleum is verdant with pines and cypresses, and pebbles are stacked in streams. Human beings live between heaven and earth, passing by in a hurry, like a passer-by who travels in a hurry......

Toasting and having fun, although not sumptuous is far better than a luxurious feast. He got up in the wagon, drove the bad horses, and frolicked towards Wandi and Luodi......

It's hard to go back, but I have to go. There have been many hardships on this journey, but they are still wanton and high-spirited.

The reverence that came to me made me smile. Wiping away the tears, more and more people are singing songs, the sadness is decreasing, and the freedom is becoming more and more prosperous. I saw that Ada and Akang Shang couldn't remember the words, as long as they held hands and hummed innocently to the tune; I saw the woman holding Ada, with a smile on her face, as if she was looking at the alleys of her hometown, where relatives and friends gathered; I saw the single old mother slowly close her eyes, and her complexion was calm and serene, as if she was lying on the warmest and softest hotbed in the world.

The singing gradually drifted away and gradually dissipated. I saw the rising sun leaping in the east, and the golden light sprinkled over the barren Lianghong border, reflecting on the faces of everyone who was forever smiling. The wine is poured and fragrant everywhere.

Someone wept silently behind us. I stared straight into the increasingly dazzling sunlight, slowly moistening my eyes in this inexplicable temperature.

In the world of life, suddenly like a traveler. Driving a horse...... The game is like a lo.

The fire rose into the sky, and for three days and three nights, there was no sleep. The Western Wasteland is a place of darkness, and from that day it has been as bright as everday.

On the fourth day, the wind was about to rise, and the ashes were afraid that they would not be able to be protected. Originally, it was only me and Huan Ke standing in front of the ruins after this catastrophe, and gradually, there were more and more people, but there was no sound. Everyone silently and tacitly surrounded those who had passed away, and used their own flesh and blood to build the last high wall for them to resist all the exile from the outside world.

The bones were like charcoal, curled up in a ball. It is a gesture of longing for redemption, but in the midst of such deep despair, there is a heart-wrenching hope. A strange stability gradually arose in my heart, and I turned my head to look into Huan Ke's eyes, silently communicated, understood each other, and followed each other. After a while, we moved at the same time, walked to the charred bones, and started to separate them.

The moment my hand touched the corpse, there was a very small exclamation from the crowd behind me. Ignoring it, I took care of myself, tried my best, and tried my best to help these venerable, once vivid lives, to lie down more peacefully.

After a short time, people began to join in one after another. With bare hands and a solemn expression. I heard Zong Zhengxu instruct the rest of the people to dig a pit for burial. Turning his eyes to meet Huan Ke's eyes, he looked at each other and smiled, but he looked at Xiao Xian behind him with admiration.

Maybe...... In the face of the awe of life, after the choice of life and death, all the mustards and estrangements between the living are no longer as important as in the past. All doubts about trust can be put aside to make way for more touching feelings and gratitude.

This is the power of life. Although it hurts heartbreakingly, it is unforgettable.

In front of each slightly raised mound of earth are carefully stacked with stones. In front of the grave, I placed the branches of the pine and cypress trees that I had brought back from Lincheng in front of the grave.

"In the future, no matter the wind and rain, the scorching sun, the sorrow of the world, and the pain of the flesh, you will not suffer it again." I slowly opened my lips: "Because of your sacrifice, I don't know how many lives have been saved. The cypress on the Qingqing Tomb has been offered before you. This trip is a long way, and you cherish it. …… Easy to walk all the way. ”

The breeze blows, and the evergreen branches shake gently, as if the old people who have gone far away look back and smile, relieved and calm, no longer lingering, no longer hesitating.

In the aftermath of the epidemic, although there are many survivors, almost all hope is lost. On the vast wasteland, the pungent smell of herbs pervades the air. Fortunately, as the weather warmed up and spring, this protracted plague finally came to an end.

The bamboo hut is surrounded by deep snow, and there is no road in the forest. The dark fragrance can't be kept, and it's a spring breeze. The weather in the Western Wilderness has always been gloomy lately, and today is a rare good weather, and everyone who is gradually recovering will start to work in the fields. I was sitting on a rock, holding a wooden plaque with a single name engraved on it, and someone in the thorn called out "Princess".

Immediately awoke, I quickly got up and looked around for the source of the sound, only to see the hard labor who was bowing down to the ground, and the one with the sharp ears was still looking at me.

Hurriedly walked back to the tent, and before he had taken a few steps, the word "princess" came from behind in a low voice. Pursing my lips and clenching my fists, I secretly said that this voice is definitely not Huan Ke, Zong Zhengxu and Xiao Xianhui will not call me like this, it can only be that others know the true identity of our group, and at this time, they will start with me first to threaten.

After calming down, I turned around in a hurry, I was ready to see the faces of any person in the Western Wilderness, but I was still surprised and whispered after seeing the person coming, I couldn't believe it: "Zhufeng?!" ”

In front of him, he was smiling proudly, not who he was. Surprised and delighted, I walked a few steps closer, and I still felt that this scene was extremely unreal: "Is it really you?" What are you doing here? ”

"When I was in Hu Ru, my subordinates agreed with the general, and after leading most of the troops back to Guisang and settling the rest of the matters, they would come to Lianghong Xihuang to meet with the general and the princess. Speaking of which, Princess Wan also asked me to greet the princess. ”

"Silence." He was full of interest, I looked left and right and saw that there was no one else, and admonished: "Except for me and the prince, the night Dahonglu and the ten princes of Lianghong, no one here knows our true identity. This time it's serious, don't call me princess again, how to call the prince, the two of you will also discuss, don't show your feet in such details and miss a big thing. ”

"Forge the Fortune Command." Responding respectfully, seeing that I was not angry, Zhu Feng quickly smiled again: "It's easy to say how to call a general, it's just ...... The princess ......"

He bit the word "princess" like a mosquito, and I couldn't help but laugh and knocked on his arm: "Flim tongue." Have you seen the prince? ”

"Fang met in the clearing to the south, but it was too hasty, and many things were not said yet." Zhu Feng motioned for me to move around, and the two of them stood in the same place and did not move, which was always suspicious: "Does the princess know that the general intends to use the people of the Western Wilderness as soldiers to forge an army?" ”

"Is that really the case?" I asked rhetorically, and saw Zhu Feng's puzzled eyes and explained: "He didn't tell me, I guessed eight or nine points myself." That's why the prince allowed you to come here? ”

"The princess is very resourceful, and Zhufeng really admires it." Pretending, Zhu Feng teased, immediately changed his tone, and lowered his voice slightly: "That Zongzhengxu, are you disrespectful to the general or the princess these days?" There may be hurtful words, or ......"

"Zhufeng." I couldn't cry or laugh, I said helplessly: "Why do you suddenly say this again?" With the prince here, who in the world can bully us? ”

"The princess has a big heart, but she doesn't care about the past, but I can't." Speaking angrily, Zhu Feng said angrily: "The general actually agreed to cooperate with him, and the princess actually agreed?" ”

I was about to reply, but I saw Zhufeng suddenly tense up and look behind me warily. With a sigh in my heart, I secretly screamed that it was not good, and when I turned around, it was a man with a hoe, looking at the two of us in confusion.

The two parties were silent, but the man spoke first: "Miss Meng, this is ......"

"He is a good colleague of Lord Ke when he was in Shu." I replied calmly and said with a smile: "I also came to the Western Wilderness on the order of the emperor to visit His Royal Highness the Ten Princes." ”

"Oh...... Sinners meet your lords! The man threw down his hoe and was about to salute, but Zhu Feng hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "No need to be polite, I ...... I'm so obedient that I don't have to do extra courtesy. ”

"Thank you, sir." Getting up in a panic, the man hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't help but ask more: "Just now...... The sinners seem to hear the adults calling Miss Meng...... Princess? ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere was deadlocked. The expression on Zhufeng's face was almost unbearable, and I looked at the man opposite with a blank look and a sigh that was almost inaudible.

Thinking about countermeasures, he shook his head, but saw that Zhu Feng's hand behind his back was clenched into a fist. Xindao This guy was so breathless, I also walked in front of the man and gently swept the sleeve of Zhufeng's shirt: "I'm afraid you heard it wrong." ”

The man hesitated, and I recounted, "We used to laugh and laugh on weekdays, and we never called each other by their first names. I haven't seen each other for many years, and he didn't remember my surname for a while, and thought my name was 'Wang Futan'. ”

The man's face suddenly realized, and I took advantage of the victory to chase after him: "It must be that he only called out the first two words, and you are far away from hearing clearly." He turned to Zhufeng and said, "Remember, I'm Meng Futan!" This big brother can remember my name, but you have a good memory. ”

"It's not like I haven't seen it for years, so it's inevitable that I'll remember it wrong." I suppressed my smile and listened to the man say embarrassedly: "Miss Meng doesn't dislike us for wearing sin, she does it herself when she treats the epidemic, and she never shouts tired, we are grateful in our hearts, how can we not remember the name of the life-saving benefactor." ”

Someone seemed to be shouting in the distance, and the man hurriedly picked up the hoe and bowed: "The sinners passed first, taking up the time of the adults and Miss Meng, I'm really sorry!" Zhu Feng was stunned, bowed slightly, and the man ran away quickly.
