Zuo Xue is a very delicate girl, and her figure is also very slender, and she doesn't look pregnant at all. According to the time, she was just more than three months pregnant, and she was already thin, so she didn't show her pregnancy. When she saw her, she was looking at the copper coins on the ground in a daze, and after hearing Zhang Ping's voice, she raised her head blankly.

It was a look of despair that didn't have much life, and it made me forget it for the rest of my life.

"Sister Zuo, this is Xiao Lin Ye from Beijing, who is here to save you," Zhang Ping said.

Zuo Xue looked at me for a while, didn't speak, lowered her head and continued to look at the copper coin.

"Sister Zuo......"

I waved my hand and motioned for her to take Gao Lei out first, so that I could be alone with Zuo Xue for a while.

"Come with me", Zhang Ping looked at Gao Lei.

After the two girls went out, I and Zuo Xue were left in the room, she didn't look at me, just stared at a pair of distracted eyes, looking at the copper coin hexagram on the ground, and a pair of tortoise shells that were not short were thrown on the ground alone, as if they had been abandoned.

On the way, I bought a box of cigarettes, took out one, lit it, and handed it to her.

"I'm pregnant," she said coldly.

I took a few puffs myself, threw them on the ground and trampled them out. The house was very simple, the moisture inside was very heavy, and the smoke from the cigarette and the musty smell in the house mixed together, producing a very strange smell, a very vicissitudes of life.

I looked at the copper coins on the ground, "You don't need to look at it." ”

She jerked her head up, "Isn't he dead?" Will it ever come back to life? ”

"No," I said calmly.

"Then what do you mean to live in death?" She became excited, "Aren't you here to save us?" Why watch him die? ”

"How do you know I watched him die?"

"Because when you came, he wasn't dead!" She stared at me, "Why didn't you save him?" Why? ”

"Because I can't save him," I paused, "I did everything I had to do, it was his life, and I couldn't do anything about it." ”

She cried.

"You're a good man in your life, two men lay down their lives for you," I pulled out another cigarette and handed it to her, and this time she took it.

I lit one myself and took a gentle breath, "It's humid here, and there are snakes and insects, so it's okay to smoke a cigarette, don't worry about the child in your belly." ”

She pinched the cigarette in both hands and took a few puffs with a trembling hand, "What do you mean?" Two men...... Who else? ”

"Chen Ziqing asked me to tell you that he hopes to meet you early in the next life", I said, "Zhuang Yaoming said, before your child becomes an adult, he will never be reincarnated, and he will celebrate the New Year's holidays, so don't forget to call him back and have a reunion dinner together." ”

She closed her eyes in pain, tears welling up and her lip biting blood.

"It's come to this, and the mourning has changed," I said, glancing at her, "don't be too uncomfortable." ”

She struggled to keep herself from crying, "Then you...... Why...... What do you say again...... Dead or alive? What do you mean? ”

"Your senior brothers and sisters, all of them are gone", I said lightly, "But Zhuang Yaoming's soul, I saved it for him." But this hexagram is not only his, it is also yours, if you want to live, you must also live in death. ”

She smiled bitterly, "It's gone, the Wuji Gate is gone...... It's all dead, what's the point of me being alone? ”

"If you live, Wujimen will still be there", I looked at her, "You have a child in your belly, this is your hope, and it is also the hope of Wujimen." At this time, you don't live for yourself, you have to be strong, you know? ”

She took a deep breath, "We're sorry for the Liao family...... They're going to kill us...... We have no complaints...... Can...... But you can't kill them all like this, can you? ”

I sighed softly, "In the face of hatred, who can be calm as usual?" In the final analysis, this is the fixed number of the Wuji Gate, and the disaster of destroying the gate has been planted more than a thousand years ago, so no wonder no one. ”

She lowered her head, tears falling one by one, wetting her front. I know that her heart hurts, and she can't speak, for a woman who has just become pregnant, this reality is indeed too cruel.

"Don't hold back, cry," I said, "and feel better." If you're embarrassed in front of me, I'll go out first. ”

She smiled miserably and shook her head, "What's the use of crying, it's the most useless!" ”

"Shall we get down to business?" I asked.

"Can I get another cigarette?" Her eyes are distressing.

I handed her a cigarette and lit it, she inhaled hard and spit it out slowly, "Can you save me?" She asked, choking up.

"You are the elders of the Nine Star Society, and the Nine Star Society will definitely try its best to protect you", I said, "Chen Ziqing and Zhuang Yaoming will not die in vain, their two lives will buy time for you and your children, and fight for the hope of life, I have no reason not to save you." ”

"I'm asking...... Can you save me? She looked at me, "If you can't...... Then don't risk it for me, I'm here waiting for her to kill...... If you can...... Then why didn't you save my brother? ”

"I said, it's not that I don't want to save it, it's that I can't save it", I paused, "Now the situation is different, Miss Zuo, don't ask so much, in short, I will do my best to protect you." ”

"I don't embarrass you," she sighed, "what do you want me to do?" ”

"I can't say this now, you calm down your emotions first and face the reality", I stood up, "I won't bother you tonight, you have to adjust before tomorrow night." Don't think about dying, you have the last hope in your belly, and you are not qualified to end this pain in the stupidest way. Life is always a lot of helplessness, if you cry, it will bully you even more, so you can only laugh, because only laughter can make you live. ”

"You go", she closed her eyes, "tomorrow, I'll go to you." ”

Zhang Ping saw me coming out, and hurried over, "Lord Xiaolin, is she okay?" ”

"It's going to take her time after such a big change," I said, looking at the houses around me, "just a few houses?" ”

"By the way," she said, "you and Gao Lei will stay at my house tonight, and tomorrow morning, I will take these old people out to play." ”

"Okay," I nodded, "I heard it's next to the railway, where is it?" ”

"There it is!" She pointed to the distance, "It's only more than fifty meters away from here, the train comes from Shaanxi, passes through the Qinling Tunnel, and then heads to Deyang from here." ”

"Well, it's secretive enough," I said, "by the way, who else is in your house?" ”

"My wife is the only one who lives here", she shrugged helplessly, "She didn't leave when she took her out, she was very stubborn, there was no way." ”

I smiled, "Old man, it's normal to leave your homeland." Alright, take me to your house, it's time for something to eat. ”

Zhang Ping's wife is over 80 years old, her body is very strong, and she is full of energy when she speaks. I couldn't understand the old man's Sichuan dialect, but I could feel her enthusiasm for us. Dinner was simple, rice, wild vegetable soup, a plate of sour and spicy kimchi, and a pot of spicy fried bacon. For such a mountain village family, this is already very rich.

Zhang Ping's house, like other houses in the village, is made of wood, which feels a bit like a thatched house. This kind of house should have been before liberation, and it is hard to imagine that it can still be seen in such a remote place now. As I said earlier, this feeling is very much like crossing over, in such a house, eating such a meal, the disparity in the environment is enough to prompt deep reflection. When life returns to simplicity, you will find that many of the things we care about in the civilized world are actually clouds of nothingness, and while we enjoy civilization, our hearts become more and more hypocritical, and we are firmly imprisoned by the so-called civilization.

Returning is a kind of awakening, and awakening makes me calm. I looked at the moon in the sky, and I couldn't see such a clear starry sky above any city. Set up a battlefield for the ghost-eyed girl here, and when we look back on it when we get old, we should think it's a very romantic thing.

At night, I slept by the fire, very comfortable.

After dawn, Zhang Ping organized the old people and prepared to go out to the mountain to play. Before leaving, she gave us an explanation, "The rice is in the jar, and the jar over there is spicy seeds, as well as salt, and bacon," she said, "Next, you have to cook your own food, but don't go hungry." ”

"I'll be responsible for this, and I won't let Lord Kobayashi go hungry," Gao Lei said.

I looked at Zhang Ping, "Do you have a place to hide?" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Ping said, "When we go out to the right, there is a cave along the road that is very hidden, and we often go there to hide when we were in trouble. ”

"Okay, we'll check it out later", I smiled, "Have fun!" ”

After Zhang Ping took the old people out of the village, I asked Gao Lei to go to see Zuo Xue, and I found the cave along the path. The entrance to the cave is not large, but it is very spacious, and there is a lot of ash on the ground, and it seems that people often come here and burn food here.

I carefully surveyed the environment in the cave, and I thought it was pretty good, and my mind was basically settled.

"I need a bed", I thought, "Zhang Ping's family has a marching bed and a quilt, just bring it over, just do it!" ”

Having made up my mind, I walked out of the cave, returned to Chang Zhangping's house, and moved the marching bed and quilt to the cave. After the bed was set up, I went outside to find some grass to spread under the bed, looking at my masterpiece, I nodded with satisfaction, everything is ready, it depends on whether Zuo Xue can adjust it in time.

Zuo Xue didn't eat, Gao Lei cooked porridge for her, she turned a blind eye, lay motionless on the bed, and was silently in a daze with bloodshot eyes. Gao Lei was helpless and looked at me, "What can I do, I don't listen to what I say." ”

I took the bowl and said, "You go out first, I'll feed her." ”

Gao Lei nodded, "Turn around and leave." ”

I scooped a spoonful of porridge and blew it symbolically—it was almost cold. The spoon was brought to her mouth, and she turned her head to dodge it.

"What do you want to do?" I stared at her, "Don't eat and want to starve?" ”

She closed her eyes and ignored me.

"The Liao family has died so many people within a year", I paused, "If Mrs. Liao were like you, then Wujimen would not be where it is today, right?" ”

"You don't have to run me......," she said coldly.

"I don't have that much time to spare", I put down the spoon, "Zhuang Yaoming didn't want his life for you and the child, but you can't protect his flesh and blood, if you feel worthy of him, I won't say anything, let's go!" With that, I placed the bowl on the table next to her bed.

She opened her eyes, sat up with difficulty, took the porridge bowl, and with tears in her eyes, she began to eat it in large gulps.
