He was silent for a long time, and finally slowly raised his eyes to look at me, but there was an unusual calm: "I lied to her like this in order to let her avoid this battle." ”

"Why?"

Qinghan looked at me deeply: "Because, I want to repay her." ”

"You're going to—give her back?" I looked at him stupidly, only to feel a sour feeling surging up from the bottom of my heart, and suddenly even my eyes were red, but I saw him lower his eyes and said slowly: "What she wants, I have no way to respond to her, all I can do is to repay her for something else." ”

“……”

"In this battle, the sword has no eyes, life and death are unpredictable, trick her back, not to mention save her life, at least let her not have to go through this."

“……”

"That's all I can do."

“……”

For a moment, I felt that the sourness disappeared all at once, but it turned into something else to fill my body, bulging as if it was about to crack, and every heartbeat was about to jump out of my chest, but that feeling was not uncomfortable, even more than happiness.

When I spoke again, my voice trembled and almost shattered because of this almost surging emotion: "Why? ”

He became a little cramped, his eyes flickered, his pale face was dyed with a rare red these days, and after hesitating for a while, he finally looked up at me as if he had mustered up courage, and said solemnly, word by word: "Light, I, I still like you-"

The last word was lost to the tip of his lips.

I leaned over and pressed my lips to him.

I have never kissed a person like this, such lips and teeth are intertwined, and my breath is hot, but it has nothing to do with ****, I just want to kiss him, I want to hug him, I want to be closer to the beating thing in his chest, closer, so that two people can breathe like lingering at this moment, you have me, I have you, never separate again.

His lips were full and warm, with the bitterness of ten herbs and the sweetness of wild fruits, slowly spreading on the tip of his tongue.

He seemed to have lost all his reactions, and looked at me with wide eyes, and his dark eyes were full of me.

I don't know how long it took for me to slowly step away a little, and I saw that his pale face was burned red, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright, reflecting me who was close at hand.

The two of them wanted to touch their foreheads, and their breath was full of each other's taste.

"Light...... Light...... Profit ......"

He called my name over and over again, so softly, as if it was about to entangle my heart, and I listened to his voice, as if I remembered many years ago.

On that autumn day, which was as calm as a painting, with a clear and high blue sky, he and I sat on the ridge, surrounded by a golden wave of wheat, exuding an almost intoxicating aroma, which he repeated over and over again after I had taught him these two words.

Actually, it's not that I haven't thought about it.

What would happen if I could go on like this with him at that time?

What if there is no Pei Yuanhao in my life, only him?

Isn't it, the pain of the previous qiē can be forgotten; All the injuries later, will not be saved zài?

If only I had met him in the first place.

It would have been nice if I had fallen in love with him earlier.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but close my eyes, the tip of my tongue, which was originally bitter and sweet, slowly tasted a salty taste, Qinghan suddenly felt something, hurriedly retreated a little, held my face and looked down, and saw my messy tears, although silent, it seemed to cry more sadly than ever.

"Lightness?"

“……”

"Light ......"

I just wept silently, shaking my head and not saying a word, and he seemed to understand everything, and said no more, but leaned over and raised his weak arm to hug me with some difficulty.

My chin was on his shoulder, knowing that he was injured and couldn't bear it, but I didn't want to leave. The two of them hugged each other like this, and I don't know how long it took, I slowly turned my head to his ear, and said softly: "Qinghan, you come with me, okay?" ”

“……！”

He shuddered and pushed my hand back a bit, my eyes burning as I looked at him.

"You come with me."

“……”

"Let's go together, shall we?"

He didn't speak, but his eyes were full of hesitation and hesitation, and I was about to say something, when I saw his gaze look behind me, and a figure moved up from behind, covering both of us.

I hurriedly turned around, and saw Shen Xiaokun coming back without knowing when, and standing at the door of the cave, looking at the two of us with disdain.

I was taken aback.

Why did he come back again? Could it be that he is still unwilling to come back and harm us?

Thinking of this, I hurriedly turned around and stopped Qing Han behind me, but his hand grabbed me steadily, and said in a deep voice: "Shen Xiaokun, what are you going to do?" ”

Shen Xiaokun's tall figure stood at the door of the cave, completely blocking the sunlight, and looked at us with a sneer: "You two are very romantic. ”

"It's none of your business."

Qing Han gritted his teeth and tried to get up, but he could only barely squat up, and reached out to pull me back, while looking at Shen Xiaokun at the entrance of the cave: "What are you doing here?" ”

Shen Xiaokun looked at us with his arms folded for a long time, as if he was watching a play: "If you don't come back, how can you see such a good show?" ”

I suddenly remembered what I had just done, and although the situation was urgent, I couldn't help but blush.

Qing Han also seemed to be a little cramped, but he didn't relax at all and glared at him.

Shen Xiaokun sneered, put down his arm and slowly walked inside, Qing Han and I were both nervous, especially me-the rhizome of the ten herbs that he had just given him was not much, and according to the medicinal effect, he couldn't recover so quickly, but what did he want to come back now-

Just as my heart was pounding, Shen Xiaokun stopped again, looked at us and said, "I'm coming back to tell you, I've seen the surroundings here, and there is no way to go up or down." ”

“……”

"If you're going to get out of here, you'd better go back."

I was stunned for a moment, I couldn't imagine that he came back to tell us this, it was really unexpected, and Qing Han didn't react for a while, just looked at Shen Xiaokun and said with a sneer: "However, if I want to leave, it won't be as troublesome as you two wastes." If you don't want to take the wrong path, it's best to go back. ”

In fact, after waking up, I have already seen the terrain around here, the mountain walls are so high that it is indeed impossible to go up, and it is even more fatal for people to come down; According to what Shen Xiaokun said, there are probably such mountains within a radius of dozens of miles.

And the waterfall we fell down before, although there is a huge drop from the valley, but looking back at the terrain there, maybe it is possible to go back after climbing slowly.

Moreover, there has just been a great war there, and presumably the emperor and queen will not stay in that kind of place for long, so if we go back, we may be able to avoid their search.

Thinking of this, my eyes lit up and looked at Qing Han, but he didn't say anything but lowered his head and pondered for a while before he raised his head and looked at Shen Xiaokun: "Why did you come back to sue us?" ”

Shen Xiaokun glanced at me behind him and said coldly: "I said, I have clear grievances. Whoever lives my life, I will repay his kindness. ”

I was a little speechless for a moment.

I have always been hostile to the Shen family, especially Shen Rou, and I almost can't wait to eat its flesh raw, but I didn't expect that the Shen family could raise such a person with clear grievances.

After saying that, Shen Xiaokun turned around to leave, I wanted to say thank you, but I couldn't say it for a while, but when he walked to the entrance of the cave, he stopped again, looked back at Qing Han, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "Hey, mud legs." ”

Qinghan's face sank, and he looked at him hatefully.

Shen Xiaokun said: "You'd better not die so soon. ”

“……”

"Lao Tzu may not lose you for the rest of his life."

After saying this, he turned and walked out without looking back.

The two of us and Qinghan were left sitting in the cave, unable to say a word, the two of them just looked at each other - the danger had left, but neither he nor I felt relieved, Shen Xiaokun's words made the question I had just now more and more obvious in front of each other.

I looked into his eyes, never so solemnly, as if I wanted to see the deepest part of his eyes in order to see the answer I wanted.

The river outside the cave is still flowing, just like life, no matter how painful the struggle, what kind of happiness lasts, after all, you still have to move forward, and you will not stop for a moment because of your pain or happiness.

I stood by the river, the clear water around my ankles, bringing a cool feeling, not even the sun was so poisonous, the stars sprinkled after being shaded by the trees cast on the surface of the river, and merged with a sparkling wave, so bright that people's eyes were almost unable to open it.

I subconsciously reached out to cover my eyes, and just in time to see a fish wagging its tail leisurely in the shallow water in front of me.

Just right.

I was overjoyed, so I raised the sharpened stick in my hand, and was about to insert it when I heard a cold voice from the river: "Don't insert it like that." ”

When he looked back, he was sitting on the bank of the river, pointing at the fish: "Stick it a little behind, closer to you." ”

In that case, isn't it empty?

But recalling his past business, I simply believed once, and then raised the wooden stick and forked down, obviously facing the air, but really forked the fish, a splash of water, I raised the wooden fork and saw the big fish above, immediately laughed happily, three steps and two steps in front of him: "Look! ”

He looked at me with a smile: "I'm not wrong. ”

"Hmm."

"Come, I'll help you make a fire."

As he spoke, he took my hand and slowly stood up, went to the cave and started a fire with me.

Since Shen Xiaokun left that day, the two of them have started this life, as if everything that happened before has become a wake-up dream, my question, he didn't answer me, nor did he say anything, it was like there was never that question, that choice.

His injuries were slowly healing, and he could help me to stand up and walk around, but there was still no way to exercise more, and the weakness caused by the dehiscence of the wound had to be replenished with more food. Under his guidance, I was able to catch some fish that could be eaten, and the situation was a little better than before.

There was no flint, and it took more effort to use ordinary stones to finally get a little tinder, and soon a fish was grilled, no salt, no fishy ginger, and the taste of the fish was not good, but for me and him, it was already a rare delicacy.

Although the first bite was eaten, the faces of both of them were not very good-looking.

After a few days of training, my craft has also improved a little, and the fish is no longer smelly and unpalatable. I picked a piece of fish in my hand and fed it to his mouth, and he looked at me, but obediently opened his mouth to eat it.

"How?"

"Mmmm, it tastes great."

He ate with bulging cheeks, like a squirrel that had slipped down from a tree and stole fruit from a cave two days before, and looked at me with wide eyes, while I just kept my head down and picked at the thorns intently, and said nothing.

The life of these days is rare and calm, and it can even be said to be sweet, but he is not stupid, he can feel the little depression in the calm, just a little, it is enough to make such a peaceful life completely unrecognizable.

As if he wanted to ease the atmosphere, he smiled and said, "I have never been such an uncle, and I don't have to do anything to eat." ”

I raised my head to look at him, and also smiled and brought the fish to his mouth: "If you want, let you be an uncle for the rest of your life." ”

“……”

He was stunned for a moment, chewing the fish a little stiffly, and stopped talking.

But I looked into his eyes and refused to relax at all: "Light cold, some problems cannot be solved by evasion." ”

“……”

"It's impossible for the two of us to escape here for the rest of our lives."

“……”

"If you want to go with me or not, you give me a word."

His originally raised eyebrows slowly lowered, and his eyes looked at the flames fluttering in front of him with a deep gaze, such eyes said that they were calm as if they were burning, and they were burning but condensed, so that I couldn't see anything, so I could only keep asking: "Let's go together, get out of here, okay?" ”

“……”

He was silent for a long time before he slowly raised his head and looked at me: "Light, the teacher used to read two sentences when he was drunk, do you know which two sentences?" ”

I was stunned.

After Fu Badai got drunk, he often read two sentences-?

People can die for love, but not for love.

Die for love, die without regrets; can live, but not just for the love of men and women.

In a person's life, there are more things to do, more goals to pursue, and more dreams to accomplish.

He hesitated a little, but he still opened his mouth firmly-

"Light, I'm really happy to see you in the capital again."

“……”

"But—"

“……”

"However, I didn't enter Beijing for you."
