The tearing and hoarse voice resounded in the valley, and Chen Bugui looked at the figure running towards him in a daze.

There was a mist in the young man's eyes, and he watched as the thin figure with the dagger in his hand continued to enlarge in his vision, like a moth, fearlessly pounced on the raging flames.

The temperature in the valley was lower, and snow was falling in the sky again.

The giant wolf that was bullying Chen Bugui slowly rolled his eyes and caught a glimpse of the figure running in the wind and snow.

There seemed to be a hint of banter in the black and white eyes of the giant wolf, and the posture of bullying did not move.

For the prey in front of him who has eaten his precious herbs, how can it let him continue to exist in this world?!

It can't wait to chew this head and swallow it directly at this moment.

The snow in the sky was getting bigger and bigger, and it had already buried half of Chen Bugui's body, and the seeping chill continued to erode the remaining consciousness of the young man.

The torn flesh on his shoulders rolled up, scarlet and solidified, and bloomed bright flowers.

Chen Bugui no longer had any strength to resist at this moment, and his body was numb.

His eyes stared at the hideous wolf head that was close at hand.

The mouth of blood opened and closed, and hot air gushed out.

He looked at the figure that had been hidden by the wind and snow, and his chapped purple lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't make any sound.

The eyelids seemed to hang a thousand catties, and the darkness began to sweep endlessly.

"Whew~"

The wind howled, rolling up the snow all over the ground.

The expected death did not come.

The young man only felt his shoulders loosen, and then a chill exploded, and the feeling of oppression suddenly dissipated.

The warmth began to flow across the boy's face, all the way down to the chapped lips.

Fishy, a little sweet......

The boy struggled to tear open a glimmer of light, wanting to find out.

His eyelids twitched, and he saw a familiar face.

It was a scumbag-faced, unkempt man.

He saw the man put away the black sword in his hand, and he also saw the headless corpse lying beside him.

Zhao Xuan, are you here......

The corners of the boy's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at the man whose lips kept opening and closing, as if he was saying something to himself, but he couldn't hear any of this.

Consciousness is like a stone constantly falling into the cold and dark lake, and the whole world becomes unusually quiet.

…………

In the infinite darkness, the body is constantly falling.

You can't see it, you can't touch it.

"Bang!"

There seemed to be a dull roar in my ears, and then it suddenly exploded in my ears.

"Boom!"

The loud noise tore through the darkness and drew a line of light, and Chen Bugui suddenly opened his eyes.

Consciousness gradually cleared, and the surroundings were blood-red.

Standing up with his palms propped up, the boy looked around blankly.

A huge hole appeared in the blood-red sky, and the earth at his feet shattered.

The whole world is filled with wails and despair.

"There's one last way......"

In the devastated world, a faint voice suddenly sounded.

In the sky, under the huge black ravine, there was a blurred figure staring at the boy below.

"Who are you?!"

The boy looked up at the figure.

"Wake up ......"

The vague figure ignored the young man, and just said to himself.

"Gotta find him!"

The boy frowned, wanting to continue asking, but when the figure's voice fell, the whole world began to tremble violently.

"Boom ......"

The mountains and rivers in the distant sky collapsed, the blood-red sky sank, and the earth was split in two.

The maw of the abyss swallowed the boy, and the whole world was reduced to nothingness.

…………

"Uh......"

A burst of pain woke Chen Bugui up, and when he opened his eyes, his eyes were hazy, and his consciousness was still in a state of dissociation.

He tried to get up, but found that his limbs were weak, and the tearing sensation from his shoulder made him sober up instantly.

He looked around, only to find himself lying on the wooden bed at home.

Chen Bugui's mind was unusually chaotic, the world just now made him unable to distinguish whether it was reality or a dream, everything seemed so real, as if it was within reach, and the owner of that voice, the few inexplicable words to him, made him even more confused.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and began to think back to what had happened before.

His thoughts quieted down, and the scattered memories in his mind began to be spliced together little by little.

The pit valley in the back mountain.

Blue-purple flowers.

Black giant wolf.

Little Seven running with a dagger...... There is also Zhao Xuan who flashed by.

Zhao Xuan?!

Thinking of this, Chen Bugui sat up directly from the bed.

Looking around left and right, there was no figure of Zhao Xuan in the house.

Looking at the simple bandaging marks on his shoulder, Chen Bugui couldn't laugh or cry, this didn't need to be guessed at all, it must have been done by Zhao Xuan.

"Xiao Qi shouldn't be a big deal......

Before he fell unconscious, the scene of Xiao Qi holding a dagger to save himself lingered in Chen Bugui's mind.

The young man was a year younger than him, and his body was thinner than himself, but at the time of that life and death decision, he still wanted to save himself desperately, and Chen Bugui's heart appeared for the first time an inexplicable emotion.

Fortunately, Zhao Xuan appeared in time and pulled the two teenagers back from the ghost gate.

"Gollum~"

A strange sound came from the boy's abdomen, interrupting his thoughts in an instant.

"It seems that sleeping is also a manual work."

Chen Bugui touched his belly with his hand and shook his head helplessly.

Creak~

There was a sound of pushing the door, and Chen Bugui looked at it.

The confined wooden door opened, and a tall figure appeared in the doorway.

The blinding light shone through the crack in the door, pulling the man's shadow straight.

Chen Bugui was a little uncomfortable with the strong light for a while, he half-covered his eyes with his hands, and through the gap between his fingers, he could see clearly the man standing in the doorway.

"Zhao Xuan?!"

The man nodded, then walked in silently.

"Here you go."

Zhao Xuan walked to Chen Bugui's side, took out a leaf-wrapped ball from his arms, and handed it to the young man.

"It's ......"

Chen Bugui didn't know why he had to look at the things in Zhao Xuan's hand, and he really couldn't see what this thing was.

Zhao Xuan looked at Chen Bugui's hesitant appearance, and his face did not change much.

"Roast chicken." The man said calmly.

"Roast chicken?!"

Chen Bugui's voice directly raised an octave, and he stared at the round ball in Zhao Xuan's hand with a stunned expression.

"I knew you'd be hungry when you woke up, so I got you a roast chicken." Zhao Xuan's words seemed to be in a bit hasty, and said, "Hurry up and eat, don't waste it."

Chen Bugui took the things in Zhao Xuan's hand a little overwhelmed, he glanced at Zhao Xuan, and then at the things in his hand, after making sure that Zhao Xuan had a serious expression, he unwrapped the layer of leaves wrapped outside.

The leaves were dismantled layer by layer in Chen Bugui's hands, and then an indescribable smell gradually began to waft out of it.

Smelling this smell, Chen Bugui's hand to remove the leaves couldn't help but tremble for a while, but he still gritted his teeth and continued, after all, it was the food that Zhao Xuan finally brought back for himself, and it was also his favorite roast chicken, which could not live up to his kindness.

Although he was comforting himself in his heart, Chen Bugui always felt that the next thing was not so simple.

Finally, with his unremitting efforts, he finally got a glimpse of the true face of this roast chicken.

Zhao ...... Zhao Xuan. ”

The young man looked at the black thing in front of him, and he couldn't tell what kind of creature it was, swallowed his saliva, and asked with some difficulty: "This is what you did?!"

"Hmm." The man nodded, not avoiding Chen Bugui's questioning eyes.

Seeing the man nodding, Chen Bugui's face collapsed instantly, and he asked again with a strange expression: "Are you sure this is roast chicken?!"

"I'm sure."

Again, yes.

"Where did your chickens come from?!"

"The ...... caught in town"

On the issue of roast chicken, the two of them argued back and forth in the house for half an hour.

Chen Bugui now felt that his head was very big, he looked at Zhao Xuan, who was sitting on the side with a righteous face, and then looked at the innocent roast chicken in his hand, and suddenly held his forehead in pain, and let out a sigh that he didn't know how many times.

"Do you eat or not?"

"I eat, can't I eat......"

In the end, under Zhao Xuan's strict supervision, Chen Bugui ate this roast chicken that he would never forget.

…………

After that, Chen Bugui asked Zhao Xuan something about the day.

According to Zhao Xuan, that day, after he and Xiao Qi went out to collect medicine, because they had not returned for a long time, Zhao Xuan ran to Wanyaozhai alone to find someone, and then learned from the shopkeeper of Wanyaozhai that the two of them went to a pit valley in the back mountain, and then Zhao Xuan ran towards the back mountain non-stop.

The rest of the matter is the same as what Chen Bugui saw before he fell into a coma, Zhao Xuan appeared in time to kill the wolf and save Chen Bugui and Xiao Qi, while Chen Bugui was in a coma for seven days because of excessive blood loss.

During the time when Chen Bugui was in a coma, Xiao Qi came to visit him every day, but today Wanyaozhai was busy, so Xiao Qi didn't come over.

Listening to Zhao Xuan's calm narration, the young man's heart rippled.

Life is really fragile, fragile to the point of vulnerability.

After hovering around on the verge of death, the young man had some understanding of Zhao Xuan's previous words.

If Zhao Xuan hadn't made a move that day, he and Xiao Qi would have become the mouths of that beast long ago.

It's good to be alive......

The young man sighed, but couldn't help but feel a little lost.

It's good that you're still alive now, but if you don't have the ability to protect yourself, if you encounter the situation a few days ago in the future, there will really be no more life-saving straw like Zhao Xuan at that time.

There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, and it is impossible for Zhao Xuan not to live with him in this way all the time.

"Zhao Xuan......"

"Huh?!"

"I want to be a monk!"

The firm voice echoed in the room, the sunlight shone through the cracks on the young face, and the young man's eyes shone with a blazing light.

The world fell silent.

With scrutiny in his eyes, the man spoke.

"Why?!"

"Because only by living can you do what you want to do, because only by living can you protect what you want to protect."

The boy clenched his fists, and his words were full of sincerity and enthusiasm.

"Because...... I want to be like you! ”

The young man was a little stubborn and longing, although such words seemed a little naïve, but they also made him unwilling to accept reality.

"Okay."

Without too many words, just a simple answer with a good word, the man gave the answer that the young man in front of him longed for.
