The moment I stepped into the Misty Forest, time and space seemed to change.

A small three-story suite with a vine in the yard, creaking deck chairs underneath, and worn-out motorcycles thrown in the corner of the wall.

"Home... This is my home...."

"I've lived in a place for over 20 years and didn't expect to see it again. ”

Luo Chen obsessively stroked the grass and trees in front of him, and the feelings that had been suppressed in his heart were a little uncontrollable.

"Xiaochen, what are you doing stupidly, you can't come over to help your mother serve food. A middle-aged chubby woman appeared at the window, waved the spoon in her hand, and shouted at him urgently.

She is Luo Chen's mother, Chen.

"Boom"

Luo Chen's ears sounded like a thunderclap, and he looked at the figure in the window with dementia, and muttered: "Mom, I saw you again, my son saw you again, it's good." ”

"Silly boy, what nonsense. Chen's mother pushed the door and walked out, taking him by the arm and walking towards the house.

Only then did Luo Chen realize that he was already wearing a black cloth robe, just a simple sportswear, and his body was also dry and thin.

"This kid, why is he always stunned today. Mother Chen pinched his face and said lovingly, "Hurry up and clean up the table and call your father to eat." ”

In an instant, Luo Chen's long-controlled feelings broke down, and tears gushed out from his eyes.

Mother Chen was stunned, stretched out her hand to wipe away his tears, and said softly: "Silly boy, what's wrong now, crying like a girl." ”

"Yes, what do I cry about, I should be happy. ”

Luo Chen raised his hand and rubbed it on his face a few times, and said, "Mom, you go and get busy." As he spoke, he pushed Chen's mother into the kitchen.

Turning around to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, he slowly walked upstairs, pushed open the familiar wooden door, and looked at his father, who was still reading the newspaper at his desk, Luo Chen's eyes were hazy again.

"Xiaochen, what are you doing standing at the door, ask your mother if the meal is ready. Luo's father raised his head and took off his reading glasses familiarly.

Luo Chen turned his head to wipe away his tears, and said softly: "Dad, the meal is ready, you still read the newspaper." ”

"Let's go, son, let's have a drink with my dad today. Luo Dad rubbed his numb knees a few times, stood up slowly, and said: "People are useless when they are old, and their legs hurt and their necks are sore after sitting for a while." ”

Luo Chen held back his tears, stepped forward and said, "Dad, your old cold legs are more exercised, don't always sit." ”

"What are you two talking about, if you don't come down, the food will be cold. At the staircase, Chen's mother was holding a plate of braised pork, poked her head out and hurriedly urged.

"Isn't this coming, what's the hurry..."

"Dad, let's have two drinks today. ”

......

The moment I walked into the fog, everyone stood in place in a daze, and the scenes in the depths of their memories appeared in their minds, staging different joys and sorrows.

Yin Da's face was flushed, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.

"Haha, it's all under my feet. ”

In the illusion, he stood at the highest point of the giant city, his face full of madness, and countless figures trembling under his feet.

"I'm finally the most powerful, father, do you see. ”

"Those who deceive me, who insult me, and who hurt me, all die today. ”

After Yin Da looked up to the sky and roared angrily, his eyes were scarlet and he stared downward, and roared madly: "You scum, go and die." ”

With a wave of his hand, countless fierce beasts poured out of the surroundings, brewing a gluttonous feast.

He roared frantically to the sky, and in less than a moment, the ground cracked, and countless poisonous insects came out of the ground to join the feast.

Not far away, Lan Yue'er opened her arms, closed her eyes with a happy look on her face, and Tie Shixin's face was full of anger, spinning in place hideously, and she opened her hands with joy on her face and cheered.

The Misty Forest is peculiar because it is covered with a thick mirage all year round, and the mirage can evoke the deepest emotions of living beings, thus making people lost.

If a person with an undetermined mind sucks in the mirage, he will be lost forever and will never be able to extricate himself.

Not far away, Qiu Sanpi's face was pale, his hands were folded in front of his chest, leaning against the dead tree and shivering, revealing a little hideous from time to time.

"Don't... Don't take my bread, please."

In the illusion, a thin little boy, dressed in a tattered beggar's suit, crumbles a dirty black bread in his hand.

"Stinky boy, dare to ask for food on our territory, it's tired and crooked. ”

Four fierce beggars surrounded the little boy, snatched the black bread in his hand, raised his thin palm, and fanned him.

"Don't, my sister is starving to death, don't snatch my bread...."

The little boy covered his swollen and aching face, and somehow got the courage to grab the wrist of one of the beggars, and opened his mouth to bite it.

"Ah, stinky boy, dare to bite Lao Tzu, hit me. ”

The beggar shook off the little boy in pain, put away the black bread, picked up his slap and knocked the little boy to the ground, raised his foot and stepped on it fiercely.

"Please... Don't hit me... My brother..."

In the haystack behind him, a weak cry came out, and the thin arm pulled open the dry grass and poked out a three-year-old girl.

"Sister, who let you out, go in, go in. The little boy ignored the pain on his body and crawled towards the little girl with difficulty.

"Lucky boy, you're in luck. ”

A beggar lifted his foot and stepped on the little beggar's ankle and walked towards the haystack with a smile.

"Fuck, it's a sick seedling. ”

"Let us go, for I will give you all the food I am going to come. The little boy dragged his lame leg to his knees, and his forehead was blushing.

"It's been a long time since I've tasted meat, or..."

"Haha, well, I like meat. ”

"What are you going to do, let go of my sister, you brutes, stop....." The little boy struggled a few times to get up, but his ankle weakened and he fell to the ground again.

The flames rose and the sparks went out until there was a pile of bones on the ground.

The little boy crawled over with difficulty, clung to the pile of bones, and did not shout hysterically, but a bloody tear flowed from his eyes.

"Or... We put..."

"Good idea, catch him first..."

The four beggars spit out the toothpicking sticks from their mouths and pounced in unison.

However, at this time, the little boy's eyes were covered with a dead gray, and a pale gray mist appeared all over his body.

......

The tears in the corners of Luo Chen's eyes slipped down quietly, and unconsciously, soaked the corners of his clothes.

"Silly boy, what's wrong today, crying what to cry about. Mother Chen put down the soup spoon in her hand and took out a tissue to wipe the tears from Luo Chen's cheeks.

Luo's father took a sip of wine, squinted his eyes and said, "The wine is not spicy, it doesn't seem to be spicy to cry." ”

"you, you can't eat and you can't stop your mouth. Mother Chen scolded with a smile and crumpled the tissue in her hand and threw it over.

"Dad, are you happy today, I will have two more drinks with you. ”

Luo Chen rubbed his swollen eyes, twitched his nose, picked up the wine glass in his hand, and poured a few sips with his head up.

Mother Chen got up anxiously, snatched the wine glass in his hand, and asked worriedly, "Xiaochen, what's wrong with you today, did you have a conflict with Xiaowei?" ”

"Xiaowei..."

Luo Chen's heart was colic again, he lowered his head and took a deep breath, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said, "What are you thinking, what is the matter." ”

"No, it's the best, Xiaowei, this girl is good, you two..."

"I recognized this daughter-in-law..."

"Don't give it to us..."

Luo Chen kept stuffing food into his mouth, and thought silently: Xiaowei, you are still alive, I am really happy to see you again.

Under Chen's mother's endless nagging, time seemed to be a little faster.

"Xiaowei, you're here. ”

Hearing the creaky of the door, Luo's father put down the newspaper slightly, looked up to say hello, straightened his reading glasses, and buried his head in silence.

Mother Chen hurriedly came out of the kitchen and said, "Xiaowei, it's normal for two people to quarrel, don't forget to go to heart." ”

"Auntie, no..."

Mother Chen didn't wait for the girl at the door to finish speaking, so she pushed and walked up the stairs, and whispered, "Don't lie to me, I can see it." ”

"I'm fine with Chen, I really didn't make a fuss. ”

"Alright, go up quickly, Xiaochen, in the house. ”

Lying on the bed, listening to the familiar footsteps getting closer and closer, Luo Chen was a little nervous, and pinched the sheets slightly in his palm.

"Click"

A white figure rushed in at the door, overwhelmed Luo Chen's body, and said fiercely: "You have spoken ill of me again, and you have increased your ability." ”

The familiar light fragrance between the long hair, Luo Chen couldn't help but be a little in a trance, and muttered, "It's good to see you again." ”

"Hmph, I knew you were going to wear this dress. Xiaowei pointed to her clothes and said happily: "Look, I'm still smart." ”

A white sweatshirt and a gray sweatshirt, the two of them go well together.

"Why, there's something on my mind. Xu Wei climbed down from him, sat cross-legged, and said, "It looks sullen." ”

Luo Chen reached out and put it on his lips, and then raised his hand to put it on her lips again.

One year, in the intensive illness room, the pale lips and cold hands were stained with disinfectant water, and the same action was frozen forever.

"Chen, I don't want to die, I said that I would never be separated from you for the rest of my life, I can't bear you..."

"Don't... Don't move..."

"I don't want to... Good... I don't want to..."

Looking at the familiar face, Luo Chen's eyes couldn't help but blur, and the picture in the depths of his memory that he would never forget quietly resurfaced.

Xu Wei leaned down, pinched his nose, squinted and said, "What are you thinking about, are you doing something bad behind my back?" ”

"Nerd, you said you would pluck the moon and give it to me..."

"I'll be waiting for you, nerd..."

"Idiot, remember, the spirit of Tianwu, herding around the abyss. ”

Luo Chen's breathing couldn't help stagnating, he reached out and hugged Xu Wei tightly in his arms, and said in a choked voice: "I'm sorry, I don't belong here anymore." ”

"Dad, Mom, Xiaowei, I'm sorry, I really want to accompany you until you are old. ”

He shuddered and closed his eyes, waved his arms slightly, the figure in his arms gradually faded, and the warm Xiaolou disappeared.

"I'm sorry, I can only bury you in my heart. ”

Luo Chen raised his hand to wipe away the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes and strode forward.

.....

The emaciated little beggar got up from the corpse and rubbed his hands vigorously on his dirty clothes, wiping away the black blood from his palms.

The little beggar moved to the fire, gently picked up the white bones, and cried: "Little sister, brother is fine, don't worry about it anymore." After that, he carefully retrieved the scattered bones, took off his shirt and wrapped them.

"I'm sorry my brother didn't protect you. ”

"I'm sorry, my brother was wrong. ”

"Yes, I'm sorry. ”

At this time, Qiu Sanpi stopped trembling, slowly opened his eyes, took out the black cloth bag from his chest, took a deep breath of nostalgia, and solemnly put it on his body, and roared with red eyes: "I hate it, I hate it." ”，

After a few breaths, he calmed down, got up and walked out of the forest without looking back.

......

Yin Da closed his eyes and looked full of enjoyment, in the giant city, desperate roars, struggling figures, broken corpses, living purgatory on earth.

"Haha"

He opened his eyes and raised his arms to the sky and laughed, and shouted madly: "Despair, roar, I said that one day, I will return it all to you." ”

At this moment, a huge beast claw appeared in the sky and slapped at him fiercely.

"I'm the strongest, no one is my opponent. Yin Da's eyes were red and he roared, and he raised his hand and shook the giant claws together.

The giant city began to dissipate, the figure of despair gradually faded, and the illusion was quietly shattered.

"No... Don't..."

Yin Da suddenly woke up, gasping for breath, and after a while, rubbing his drowsy head, he got up and left the misty forest with a wry smile.

At the same time, Lan Yue'er gradually opened her eyes, turned her head to look around, and then walked out of the forest.

Tie Shixin's anger gradually dissipated, he opened his eyes and shook his head with a wry smile, and seemed to be muttering something to himself in a low voice. After a while, he gathered his emotions and got up and left the forest.

In this group of figures, Wu Mo hid in a corner and struggled for the longest time, sometimes panicked, sometimes surprised, and sometimes tearful. No one knew what she had been through, and no one paid attention to this isolated and helpless girl in the middle of nowhere.
