Mu Xue stood there quietly, surrounded by cold stone monuments, and the cold atmosphere of the early morning filled the cemetery. It is said that three o'clock in the morning is the time when the two worlds of yin and yang alternate, the sun gradually rises, instead of the cold night, raise your hand to look at the luminous watch on your wrist, three o'clock has passed a little, but the sky is not at all bright, if there is the so-called darkest time before dawn, I am afraid it is now.

The cemetery is located in a very remote suburb, and there are several small villas built next to it, because the location is very cheap, Mu Xue rented one of them under a pseudonym as her last place to stay. A few days ago she began to move in, fifteen years of planning is finally about to carry out the final step, but there is no excitement in the bottom of her heart, these days living in the small villa, she has been insomnia as always, today she can't sleep at all, giving up the struggle in bed, she got up and strolled to the cemetery.

The cemetery was about twenty years old, and the cemetery was a wonderful place, where countless stories were placed, some of the steles were often cleaned, others were forever silent, and during the day she saw the occasional people coming to worship the dead in the villa.

Some people don't want to remember, and she refuses to forget.

Walking down the steps, the corner of Mu Xue's eyes suddenly swept to a white, and when she turned her head, a girl in white was sitting quietly on the upper steps.

At first glance, Mu Xue was taken aback, and her heart was full of doubts, at this time, apart from herself, would anyone come to sweep the tomb?

It won't be ...... Ghosts, right?

The "white" looked up, apparently also frightened.

Years of experience have taught Mu Xue not to be surprised to the greatest extent, she stared at the woman in white a few steps away, and slowly found that she was a little familiar, I have seen her, Mu Xue said in her heart.

"You...... Also here to sweep the grave? Mu Xue spoke first.

The woman in white stared at Mu Xue for a while, "You...... Is it human? She asked.

Mu Xue nodded, "I seem to have seen you, a few days ago you came to visit the grave early in the morning and rode a pink moped, right?" ”

The woman in white was stunned for a while before she reacted, "I thought you were a ghost, a ...... in the middle of the night" suddenly thought that she was also staying in the cemetery in the middle of the night, and smiled embarrassedly.

Mu Xue also smiled, there is a person like herself, who comes to sweep the tomb in the dark night of winter, I am afraid it is also a very interesting thing. She slowly walked to the side of the white coat and sat down on the steps beside her.

"My name is Mu Xue, what about you?"

"Xun Keran." The girl said softly, "Who are you looking for in the middle of the night?" ”

Mu Xue was silent for a while before she said, "My father, fifteen years ago, he was buried here. She lifted her hand and gestured to where she had just stood.

It turned out that so many years had passed, and Mu Xue suddenly felt that time was so heavy, "Would you like to hear the reason why I'm here?" ”

Xun Keran turned his head to look at her, this woman named Mu Xue had a pair of quiet eyes, and the black hair that rubbed her shoulders floated gently.

Mu Xue turned her gaze to the distance and said to herself, "My memory of my father is very short. Everyone thought that my father had committed suicide by jumping off the railroad tracks, and at that time, I was standing next to him, and we were about to take the train to my grandmother's house, and the last thing my father said to me was, 'Xiaoxue, don't look back.' I didn't listen, I turned around, and I saw a hand pushing my father. Mu Xue paused, "That year, I was ten years old...... No one believed the words of a ten-year-old, so I chose to remain silent...... It wasn't until I grew up that I understood the meaning of the phrase "don't look back", he knew...... He knew that the man had made a murderous move, and he also knew that if he resisted or escaped this time, the next target would be his child, which was me............ The train receded, and I slowly saw his body...... Crushed to pieces by wheels, piece by piece... I was still holding the marshmallow he had just bought for me, standing in his blood...... Then there were a lot of people talking to me, and I couldn't remember anything except that it seemed to be snowing in the sky, and it seemed like my mother kept calling me...... Many years later, I found out that I hadn't spoken for a whole year, and a whole year later, in the winter, the first snow fell, and I said, 'Mom, it's snowing,' and I remember her looking at me like a person who has come back from the dead, and then she hugged me tightly and cried all night............"

"Until my father was placed here, I still felt that he was still lying on the tracks, piece by piece, stained with blood." Mu Xue smiled softly, this laughter was so uncomfortable in Xun Keran's ears, she understood that feeling, many years ago, she also looked at her sister, lying in the bright blood red everywhere.

She couldn't help but ask, "Did you see that person?" ”

Mu Xue took a deep breath and nodded, "I know him, before my father died, he often came to my house as a guest, in the past fifteen years, he has achieved the leading position of a very powerful gangster step by step, and now he ......"

Xun Keran pricked up his ears, "What now?" Is it already dead? ”

Mu Xue smiled again, her smile was always quiet, but the words she said were always shocking, "Now...... I had in my hand the evidence that could send him to prison, the list of people he had killed with his own hands over the past fifteen years, the ledgers of his bribes to government officials, the records of his smuggling, and ...... The dress his father wore when he was pushed off the platform......"

A gust of indifferent wind brought up the fallen leaves on the ground and flew up, and the leaves turned helplessly in circles on the ground.

Mu Xue spread out her palms, and then clenched them again, "How he pushed my father off the platform fifteen years ago, how I will push him down to hell today." ”

Xun Keran was dumbfounded.

For a moment, it seemed that the fire that the cold wind of the cemetery could not extinguish in the winter night jumped in Mu Xue's eyes.

It took a long time for Xun Keran to come back to her senses, Mu Xue's eyes made her not know how to say something critical, the duty of righteousness and awe-inspiring is a kind of hypocrisy at all, but should it be appreciated for a tooth for a tooth? She looked at the ground and asked in a low voice, "Revenge...... There's a price, right? ”

Mu Xue smiled quietly again, "This question has also been asked to me, when I was very young, I saw a sentence in a book, 'If you want to take revenge on someone, you must first prepare two coffins, one for him and one for yourself.'" Her brisk tone, as if talking about the weather, "What about you, Xun Keran?" For whom are you sitting in a dark cemetery? ”

Xun Keran was stunned, she didn't expect someone to ask her such a question, it was like facing a wall for a while, whether to tear it down and say the knot in her heart is another multiple-choice question.

The sky is starting to get brighter.

Xun Keran was silent.

The corners of Mu Xue's mouth always had a faint smile, and there was a hazy silence in the slightly bright night. She said, "Do you know why I'm willing to say these things to you?" ”

Coco shook her head.

"Because people who are not clean in their hearts will never dare to stay in the cemetery in the middle of the night." Mu Xue's smile was very gentle in the faint moonlight.

Xun Keran thought about it, then took out two treasure beads in his pocket, and gave one to Mu Xue, the sweetness in his mouth was filled with a warm mood, "I have a sister, she is a few years older than me, her desire is to be a doctor, she has been a top student since she was a child, everything is excellent, I am often jealous and can't help but like to follow her," as if remembering some funny past, the corners of Coco's mouth couldn't help but rise, "When she was 18 years old, she decided to go north with her boyfriend to study, afraid that I would be noisy, It wasn't until two days before I left the road that I was 14 years old, and I was stunned when I heard the news, and I turned around and rushed out of the house...... "Xun Keran pinched the lollipop in his hand and wandered around.

"I rushed through the little garden, out of the alley, across the road, and my sister kept chasing after me and calling my name...... Suddenly she stopped screaming," Xun Keran took a deep breath, "I pouted and looked back to see her slowly falling from mid-air, lying on the ground...... A large truck rushed out of her with a very sharp sound and fled...... I still remember my sister lying on the ground with her hand still reaching out to me, and then a lot of red ...... spread out on the ground."

The leaves were blown up by the cold wind, fluttered on the cold stone tablet, and slowly fell to the ground.

"Do you hate yourself?" Mu Xue asked suddenly.

Xun Keran opened his mouth half-open, and thought for a long time before he spoke, "Don't hate...... But I regret it, I regret my willfulness, I regret not seeing the license plate of that car, I regret that there are too many things, so ...... In order to...... I don't know what to do now, so I won't regret it later. ”

The smile on the corner of Mu Xue's mouth expanded, "Who are you in love with?" ”

Xun Keran looked at her in surprise.

"Don't be so surprised, I can see that you are afraid, what can make a little girl who dares to blow the wind in the cemetery in the middle of the night be afraid? …… Except for feelings. Mu Xue gently fiddled with the treasure bead in her hand, "I understand, because I'm also afraid...... I feel that I am not qualified to love, but the feelings that I endure will still come out, but in order to achieve the goal I want, I must betray the person I want to love...... When I signed my name at that time, I wanted to cry at the thought that that person would hate me for the rest of my life...... I thought I didn't know what crying was fifteen years ago......"

"The two of us are really like ......," Xun Keran muttered.

"Yes~" Mu Xue opened the candy paper, put the treasure bead in her mouth, a burst of sweetness of pudding spread from the bottom of her heart, and looked at the girl beside her, her eyes flashed with a faint light, but it was like sugar in her mouth, there was a sweet and beautiful and clean soul.

Mu Xue stretched out her hand, Xun Keran glanced at her, and smiled slightly.

"Xun Keran, let's make an agreement, right?"

"Huh?"

"When the sun comes out, make up your mind not to run away anymore."

Xun Keran was silent for a while, and then nodded, "Don't run away, when the case at hand is closed, I will tell my feelings." ”

"Me too, but I'll have to wait until it's done."

"You can't be fooled, you have to swear in front of your father!"

"You too, stay for a while, the sun is out, you have to swear to your sister that you will live more bravely, otherwise you will not be able to marry in this life!"

The two looked at each other and smiled very tacitly.

Perhaps only in such a moment of isolation can people who have never known each other shake out the secrets in their hearts so much, and change to a clean morning, eating sweet sugar, sitting side by side in a place full of tombstones, waiting for the sky to slowly light up.

The clouds on the horizon began to glow red.
