In the confusion, Zheng Pei felt that someone patted him on the cheek. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info When he slowly opened his eyes, he saw a childish and curious face in front of him.
"Who the hell are you?" Zheng Pei asked, his voice weak.
The little boy didn't answer. Holding a flower in his hand, he slowly stepped back, allowing Zheng Pei to see the boundless Gobi around him clearly.
The bright color of that red flower is the most striking embellishment in the whole black and white world. The little boy tried his best to protect the flowers with his hands, but the tender petals still trembled in the wind.
The little boy's eyes were full of tears, and he looked at Zheng Pei silently, twitching his nose, his eyes helpless and confused.
Zheng Pei got up from the ground, walked to the little boy and knelt on one knee, and wrapped the little boy and the flowers in his hand with his wide placket. Seeing that the flowers no longer trembled and the bright colors glowed with extra vitality, the little boy smiled gratefully.
And Zheng Pei just smiled with relief, and then returned to indifference.
He knew that in this dry and desolate neighbor, this weaker life, though it symbolized hope, could not survive. The beauty of life is fleeting, Zheng Pei can't resist the facts, he can only try his best to protect the faint hope in this child's heart, and prevent him from being annihilated by the wind and sand of reality like himself.
Suddenly, a huge black wolf galloped in front of Zheng Pei like a raging wind! When Zheng Pei came back to his senses, the little boy had already been taken by the black wolf in his mouth and ran away. But the red flower was well protected by the little boy in his hands. He frowned slightly, letting his blood slip from between the black wolf's teeth, and refused to let go of his clenched little hand. The little boy didn't cry out in pain, he just looked in the direction where Zheng Pei was, helpless and eager to look forward to it......
Zheng Pei pulled his legs and ran out, the wind brushed his hair behind his forehead, and he exerted force under his feet, and the soil chips and gravel were kicked up in the air by the soles of his feet. He didn't know the boy, and he didn't have any family to do it. But Zheng Pei knows that he is the last hope for this child! In that young and innocent heart, Zheng Pei is the last trust that can protect and continue the bright dream in his hand.
So he had to catch up! That kid must be saved!
The black wolf seemed to change its target abruptly, and gradually stopped. It threw the little boy who had fainted in his mouth to the ground, and turned to stare at the galloping young man with a sly gaze, and let out a fierce low roar in his throat.
Zheng Pei panted and stopped a few meters away from the black wolf, he bent down to pick up a stone from the ground, and waited for the other party just as viciously. Although the monster in front of him was half a head taller than himself, Zheng Pei did not have the slightest fear.
Life and death are meaningless, and obsession is strong.
The black wolf suddenly lowered his head, his front legs bent slightly, and he opened his big mouth and pounced on Zheng Pei! Zheng Pei's brows tightened, and his body instantly dissipated into the air like a wisp of light smoke.
The black wolf pounced! When he stood still and turned around to scan, he saw that Zheng Pei was already half-kneeling beside the little boy, checking on his injuries.
The black wolf's yellow sharp teeth swept sideways towards the top of Zheng Pei's head! But before its mouth could pounce on it, it was thrown vigorously by Zheng Pei, who had been prepared, with the stone he was holding, and smashed off two front teeth with a bang! The black wolf protected the pain, hurriedly closed his mouth dripping blood, and turned back to avoid it. But Zheng Pei didn't give it a chance to breathe! He flew out with a lunge and, by inertia, rode onto the wolf's back. Zheng Pei grabbed the wolf's hair with his left hand, and waved the stone in his hand with his right hand and smashed it at the black wolf's neck and the back of his head! The black wolf screamed and shook his body desperately. But Zheng Pei lay on its back, grabbed the wolf fur and didn't let go, even if it tried its best, it couldn't throw Zheng Pei off.
The black wolf showed fatigue, spitting out a blood-red tongue and panting. But for a moment, its eyes rolled, and it lay on its back on the ground, pressing Zheng Pei under its body, and its body kept rubbing back and forth, wanting to crush Zheng Pei to death. For a while, the dust was flying, Zheng Pei was pressed by the black wolf coughing and wheezing, and his hands and feet couldn't stop kicking and beating. Seeing that the plan was successful, the black wolf hurriedly rolled and stood up, roared viciously, and bit Zheng Pei's neck in one bite! Zheng Pei was still gasping in the dust at this time, and when he saw the wolf's fangs flying on his neck, it was too late to use the Wind Technique to escape, so he could only use both hands to grab the black wolf's upper and lower jaws and hold on!
The weight of the black wolf's whole body pressed against the open mouth, and it kept digging the soil with its front paws, further increasing the weight that Zheng Pei was bearing. The black wolf's sticky and fishy saliva kept dripping from between his teeth to Zheng Pei's face, and Zheng Pei couldn't care about anything else, so he could only hold the approaching wolf's mouth with trembling hands!
Man and wolf counteract each other, and the winner is born!
"Why?" A male voice sounded beside Zheng Pei, "Why are you being forced to this extent? Shouldn't this kind of thing be easy for you? ”
The black wolf was suddenly blown into the air by a strong wind! It was afraid to control its own power, and it kept wailing in mid-air, and its limbs kept kicking.
"Why?" The man asked again, the strangeness in his tone indicating that he had no understanding of what was happening in front of him.
Zheng Pei was lying on the ground panting, he turned his face to look and saw a thin and tall black figure.
"Tsk, do you want to break its mouth like that, and then smash it to death with that stupid stone?" The black shadow asked, still feeling that Zheng Pei's behavior was incredible.
"Who are you?" Zheng Pei asked suspiciously, "Why are you helping me?" ”
"No, you're mistaken, I didn't help you." The Black Shadow smiled and continued, "I'm just helping myself. ”
Zheng Pei didn't have time to take care of this guy who was talking to himself, he got up and wanted to hurry up to see the little boy's situation. But strangely, the badly injured child was gone, and a large pool of blood that had been left on the ground disappeared without a trace, as if it had never been there.
Zheng Pei fell into a trance for a while, he didn't know if all this had really happened. But the struggling black wolf in mid-air was still howling, as if to tell him that the child's disappearance out of thin air was the truth.
"Do you know where that kid went?" Zheng Pei pointed to the general direction of the black shadow with his memory, "Is that the kid who was lying here just now, seriously injured?" ”
The shadow shook his head and said, "No, I don't know, only you know where that kid is. ”
"How could I possibly know?" Zheng Pei roared angrily, "If you know, say it quickly, that child is seriously injured, and if he is not treated in time, he will die!" ”
"No, no, no." The dark shadow said patiently, "If you want to save others, you must save yourself first." Otherwise, you won't be able to survive yourself, so how can you talk about saving people? ”
"Nonsense!" Zheng Pei felt that this person was simply wasting time, and he planned to ignore him and run out to find it himself.
But Zheng Pei was surprised to find that his body couldn't move at all!
"Okay, I'll just take a moment to explain it to you." The black shadow said helplessly. He raised a finger and shook it slightly, and the black wolf floating in the air was slammed to the ground.
"Look, this is the guy you wanted to kill just now, and this is the kid you just wanted to save." The shadow pointed to a large rock next to him, "What if I hadn't stopped this?" ”
The black wolf's sharp teeth instantly bit the skin on Zheng Pei's neck, and Zheng Pei was pressed to the ground by the black wolf again in surprise.
"So, have you saved anyone else now?" The black shadow asked proudly stepping on the big stone.
Indeed, Zheng Pei himself knew that if it wasn't for the black shadow's shot, then he would have died before that child. He looked at the dark shadow and was silent.
"But if you have the ability to overcome the difficulties in front of you, the results will be completely different." The black shadow's two fingers danced slightly, and Zheng Pei and the black wolf were like two puppets controlled by him, and they instantly stood in two different places. One of the black shadow's fingers tapped Zheng Pei and said, "Try it." ”
Zheng Pei only felt that his right index finger was stiffened by an inexplicable powerful force, and he tentatively pointed at the black wolf in doubt.....
The black wolf screamed and flew into the air! Its whole body kept spinning in the air, like a paper windmill in a storm, spinning faster and faster! But because the various parts of its body rotated at different speeds, after a muffled clattering sound, the black wolf was twisted into a thick rope like a washed sheet. A large amount of blood continued to spill down the threads of the thick rope, but it was absorbed and covered by the sand that came with the wind, and disappeared without a trace in a short time.
"Look, wouldn't it be easy for you to come and save this child now?" The black shadow patted the big stone and asked with a smile.
"Who are you?" Zheng Pei looked at the black shadow in front of him that exuded bursts of black qi and kept circulating, and asked in surprise, "Who are you?" “
"Hahaha!" The black shadow looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, "You even asked who I am?" With a wave of his hands, a gust of wind instantly blew away the black gas on his body, his appearance, clothing, and movements made Zheng Pei feel both familiar and unfamiliar, this person must have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"I am in your shadow, I am in your breath. I follow your beautiful laughter, but I also grieve for your loss. I am your best friend and the stranger you know best. You will never perceive me, unless you want to believe that the real world is in the mirror......"
Zheng Pei stopped breathing because he was surprised! That's right, isn't this guy with a weird smile on his face walking towards himself?!
