The wind blew leisurely from the bamboo forest, and Xiao Chengqian's hair and I also fluttered slightly with the wind, blowing the willow wind, which is talking about this kind of wind from the warm spring, which seems to be able to dissolve the faint heat in the sun, so that the warm sun can live in every place of the warm body.

Xiao Chengqian and I looked at this picture in the warm sun and breeze, and were silent for nearly a minute before Xiao Chengqian said to me: "Let's go, let's take a walk in this bamboo forest, shall we?" ”

"Take a walk here? You're not afraid of getting lost? "I remembered the experience when I was a child, and the first time I saw the magic of the formation, it was this bamboo forest that brought me.

"Can this entry-level formation get you lost? Or do you want me to get lost? Don't talk nonsense, okay? Xiao Chengqian cherished his cigar back into the box, then took out a cigarette and lit it, originally wanted to give me one, but after thinking about it, he took it back.

I insisted on snatching it, lit it, and said, "I'm just injured, I don't need to be so careful." ”

Xiao Chengqian smiled slightly, didn't say anything, lowered his head and became more and more silent.

But I said, "Hurry up, wait a minute, I'll accompany Brother Chengqing." ”

"Well, he went to Uncle Li's grave to talk to himself again?" Xiao Chengqian took a puff of cigarette, and his voice echoed throughout the bamboo forest, accompanied by the sound of our feet rustling on bamboo leaves.

I don't know when it started, these juniors of our Lao Li Yimai and Lao Wu Yimai have been completely 'fused' together, and each other's elders have also begun to call uncles and uncles.

It's just that they can't get used to the call of senior brother and sister for the time being, but in the bottom of their hearts, they have actually recognized it.

"Yes, it's not just him, Master, and they are often like that. That night, I saw Master carrying a jar of wine, talking in front of Uncle Li's grave, crying and laughing all night, and getting myself drunk. I heard him say something about the little sister, but the next morning I wanted to help him in to sleep, but I found that Uncle Chen and Uncle Wang were also drunk in front of Uncle Li's grave. I said casually, but at the bottom of my heart I couldn't suppress the sadness.

In my trouser pocket is a copper coin, which is a gift from Uncle Li, a precious natural ingot, I actually often play with it, the copper coin has become extremely smooth, there is a special bright and sometimes longing expression, it is this tiny detail or tiny action.

Behind the habit, sometimes it represents a certain emotion, just like wherever a person goes, what he misses most is the taste of the food cooked by his mother, which is a habit that goes deep into the bone marrow.

"Some feelings are too deep, but words can't express them. Do you know? At that meeting, in the holy village, "Xiao Chengqian and I stopped in a clearing, where there was a huge, flat rock, and he and I chose to sit down here.

The warm sunlight was divided into fine points of light by the bamboo leaves, reflecting on my face and his, Xiao Chengqian held a cigarette, tilted his head slightly, squinted his eyes, and remembered the reunion of that day.

I've stopped that scene several times, but every time I hear it, I can't help but feel the urge to cry.

Chen Chengyi must have big or small regrets in his life, some are important, some are not very important, but this time I missed the reunion because of a coma, which is an important regret for me.

I listened quietly to Xiao Chengqian and couldn't help but talk about that reunion, the regret of missing out like this, listening to it too many times is not enough.

"I really didn't know about that meeting in the Holy Village, and the elders appeared like this, as if they had fallen from the sky. I'm so tired in the Holy Village, after all, there, only I can protect these important people, but sometimes I suspect that Wu Tian's patience is almost worn to the bottom line by me, many times I can't sleep all night long, or I am awakened when I fall asleep, because I feel that I can't even protect myself, how can I protect others? Sometimes, I think that we just want to be 'heroic' together, but that's just an escape idea, and life always has to go on, even if it is living in purgatory. Speaking of those days, Xiao Chengqian's voice became low.

It should have been the most difficult day for him, and I can empathize with it, just like when Master and they disappeared, as the elder brother of Shanzimai, I took up the responsibility.

We have gone through a lot of years, we have traveled a lot of places, and many difficult times, people will be particularly vulnerable, but the sun will still rise the next day, and responsibility will whip you to move forward without turning back, even if you live in purgatory.

I asked myself that I never wanted to escape, although there are many times when I am weak in my heart, but that is not hypocrisy, because I am proud that we have gone through storms, experienced life and death, and finally come to this point.

And the expression of feelings, even more will not be stingy, because of the loss, only to know that some feelings will be expressed as much as possible, the years of life are limited.

The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the child wants to raise and does not wait, I am afraid that the feelings I have will not have time to say and express, and my life has passed.

If people don't experience it, how can they experience that sticky and heavy feeling? This does not contradict the strength of his own behavior, just like what Xiaobei once told me, if his heart is not soft, how can a man who can't even cry become a hero? Because he doesn't have such a compassionate heart, how can he have such righteous deeds?

At least, the maturity and chic I understand is a man who can cry and laugh, and even be right or wrong, but never run away, and knows what he is carrying.

I think the kind of man who wiped away his tears last year, became cold and iron-blooded this year, and then fought and was invincible, and created a myth or a person from the other world with me, that kind of god-like existence, I can only look up to me, or Xiao Chengqian, is just an ordinary person, and even because life persecuts people to keep moving forward, what we have is just the bottom line in our hearts, and what we ask for is a peace of mind and a responsibility that must be done.

"Yes, speaking of them, we should be grateful to Xuan Zhuanzi, if it weren't for his use of the supernatural water control technique to send us out of the Holy Village, dragging Yang Sheng and Wu Tian's group of people, I think Master They would not have been so smooth in and out of the Holy Village, and they rescued you" This is really a fluke, Xuan Zhuanzi sent us away, because they had to compete for the Heavenly Pattern Stone, Yang Sheng and his party couldn't take care of us escaping from Ghost Bay, so they bought this time.

After all, Wu Tian was the strongest existence in the Holy Village, and he had his ten strongest 'followers' with him, and the power of the Holy Village was drained by more than half.

"Actually, it's not all without warning, you know? There are some very 'smelly' existences in the holy village, but they are very powerful, and they are those cultivators who should have died on weekdays, but borrowed someone else's life! It is said that they stink because they should have died a long time ago, but they are still forcibly alive with the smell of corpses on their bodies, and they are still forcibly alive. These people appeared very little in those days, and later, in the next few days after Wu Tian took people away, they occasionally appeared once or twice to maintain the order of the Holy Village, and the strange thing was that each time they appeared, it was one or two people who were relatively young. The cigarette in Xiao Chengqian's hand had burned to the end, his brows were slightly furrowed, and the expression on his face was slightly puzzled, as if to express that he was so confused that day.

Seeing Xiao Chengqian's expression, I smiled and said, "Didn't you suspect anything?" At that time, Wu Tian traveled with his right-hand man, and the old eccentrics of the Holy Village, which continued to be maintained, seemed to have disappeared again? Don't you dare to fight? ”

What I said about fighting, Xiao Chengqian should understand, is to take advantage of this vacancy to take everyone to escape.

Sure enough, Xiao Chengqian smiled when he heard my question, and said, "Chengyi, is it you?" Do you dare to gamble like that? It's not easy to keep everyone alive every day, and who can be adventurous under that kind of pressure? This is the so-called death of the bold and starvation of the faint-hearted? ”

"The important thing is that you are afraid that I will come out of Ghost Bay and return to the Holy Village, and you are not here, I am alone" I added after that, yes, not only him, but everyone should be the same.

After all, everyone is together, and they can still fight, and if I am alone, it will be no different from the fish on the board.

"If you understand, why bother saying it?" Xiao Chengqian smiled bitterly, and then continued: "It's such a bitter, such a difficult day, the elders suddenly appeared in the Holy Village, how do you say I feel?" I remember the day they showed up in the afternoon, and that day Hui Gen'er was a little injured and had just been carried back to the so-called confinement cell in the Holy Village."

Once again, I was silent, in fact, after I left, I knew their days.

Except for Xiao Chengqian, everyone was imprisoned by Wu Tian, and it was impossible to live the ordinary life in the outer village before, they were instantly called the lowest level of prisoners, and anyone in the holy village could torture them.

If it weren't for Xiao Chengqian's existence, they wouldn't even be able to save their lives, and because of Xiao Chengqian's existence, this kind of torture is still above the bottom line, otherwise I don't dare to imagine.

However, Xiao Chengqian's status in the Holy Village is only like this, even if he is tortured above the bottom line, isn't it torture?
