Lilian opened her eyes in a daze, the corners of her eyes moistened.

She had a nightmare last night.

Unlike the nightmares she had had before, there were no monsters in the dream, and the background was not a pitch-black midnight, no fierce chase, and no sudden scare. It's just that one early morning, Mr. Xu Shuo made a meal for her to eat, and then at the dinner table, Mr. Xu Shuo tactfully told her that the road he was going to take was very tortuous, and asked her not to follow him anymore.

In the dream, she begged Xu Shuo not to leave her, desperately telling her strength. Xu Shuo showed an embarrassed expression, and reluctantly promised that he would not leave. But in the end, he quietly picked up his luggage and left her. Although she immediately found and chased after her, she still lost Xu Shuo's trace in an instant. She stood there at a loss for what to do, and could only cry sadly.

Everything in the dream was so real, so natural, as if it really happened, and as if it were a prophecy.

After waking up, Lilian's heart was still pounding, the palpitations, the panic, and the loss were still in her heart at the moment, she nervously raised her body, and her eyes were hazy with tears in her eyes to look for Xu Shuo's figure.

But no.

The position where Xu Shuo was supposed to lie was empty at the moment.

Lilian's heart suddenly skipped a beat, the uneasiness in her heart was amplified twice, her emotions were a little out of control, and the corners of her mouth were pulled down uncontrollably. Although the remaining reason told her that it was just a dream, Xu Shuo must not have left, she must not cry, it would wake up Miao Zhen, but she had to do something at the moment, otherwise her state would fall into collapse.

When she finds Xu Shuo, only by seeing her in person can her emotions be appeased at the moment.

Lilion staggered to her feet and hurried out of the house.

There were faint traces of wanting to brighten in the sky, but the sun liked to lie in bed in winter, and most of its body was still buried in the bedding of the forest, only a little head poked out, and the whole world was a cold dark blue.

According to previous experience, if Xu Shuo wasn't in bed at this time, he was probably cooking or something, so Lilian first went to the direction of the big house to find it.

There is indeed someone cooking in front of the big house, but it is not Xu Shuo, but the mute girl Lina.

Rina saw Lilian and smiled and waved at her.

Lilian reluctantly nodded in response, and then asked a little anxiously, "Excuse me, have you seen Mr. Xu Shuo?" ”

Rina blinked twice, then gestured.

Lilian's heart was anxious and confused, looking at Lina's hand waving in the air, but her brain couldn't make room for understanding, now she could only receive the most straightforward and simple information, so she didn't understand what Lina meant.

"Forget it, I'll find him myself, thank you."

Lilion turned and pushed open the door to the big room, and the room was full of children who made her stunned, but she didn't think much of it. After glancing at it and confirming that there was no Xu Shuo, she closed the door and began to look for Xu Shuo in other parts of the village.

She trotted around the village, slowing her pace with each house she passed, listening for familiar sounds inside.

In fact, Lilian knew that if there was no one in the big house, it was unlikely that the other houses would find Xu Shuo, and she should ask Lina slowly, so that it was more likely to get Xu Shuo's whereabouts. But she was so distraught that she couldn't stop.

Mr. Xu Shuo...... Mr. Xu Shuo......

Where is Mr. Xu Shuo, is he really gone?

Terrible conjectures hovered over Lilian's mind, and the anxiety in her heart escalated, tormenting her like an invisible whip.

Just as she was about to abandon the aimless search and go back to ask Rina again, she suddenly heard the familiar voice coming from a room in the corner of the village.

“…… How many? ”

"This part alone is almost two hundred catties, and there are so many remaining parts, which is really an incredible amount. Even if you make stew every day, it is estimated that it will take more than a month. ”

"You think too much, at this level, if you eat every day, it is estimated that you can eat it in ten or twenty days, there are so many people in the village."

"No, no, no, after eating so much meat in such a short time, what a luxurious way to eat, we can't eat it."

Lilien followed the sound to the door of the house, and in the faint morning light, she saw Xu Shuo and Junxiong standing in front of the room full of frozen meat, Junxiong holding a jar of coagulated oil in his left hand and a lump of meat in his right hand, weighing it repeatedly, as if weighing the meat in a comparative way, while Xu Shuo was holding a knife and was responsible for cutting the meat.

The moment she saw Xu Shuo, Lilian's mood was as turbulent as a huge wave rolling up on the sea, but this excitement also faded as quickly as the waves crashing ashore, and she was also taken away with her uneasiness and anxiety.

Great, he didn't go.

"Xu Shuo... Mr. Lilien called softly.

"Ah, Lilian," Xu Shuo turned his head with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and squeezed out a tired smile on his face when he saw that it was Lilian, "Good morning." ”

"Good morning, Mr. Xu Shuo."

Lilian walked into the room and came to Xu Shuo's side, her eyes staring directly at Xu Shuo's face, her eyes full of complicated emotions.

"Ugh." Xu Shuo was a little nervous by her staring, and subconsciously scratched his face, "What's wrong, is there anything dirty on my face?" ”

"Nope." Lilian lowered her eyes, although she had a lot to say, but after thinking about it, those were just dreams, and even if she said them, it would only make Xu Shuo more troubled.

The tide receded, leaving only a heavy feeling of exhaustion as a stone on the shore.

The tense nerves relaxed suddenly, Lilian suddenly felt so tired and wanted to take a break, but she didn't want the person she had found so hard to leave her sight, so she simply bent her legs and squatted down at Xu Shuo's feet with her knees like a puppy waiting for her owner to leave.

This move startled Xu Shuo and Junxiong who were present together.

"Y-Are you okay, are you not feeling well?" Xu Shuo hurriedly knelt down on one knee and asked.

Lilian shook her head, "I'm fine, it's just, maybe a little unawake, a little tired." ”

"Then do you want to go back to sleep again, I'll tell them to keep your breakfast."

"Don't."

"So, go have breakfast and refresh yourself? Today's breakfast was broth, we got a lot of meat last night. ”

"I said I didn't want to, why do you always want to drive me away?!"

Facing Lilian, who suddenly lost her temper, Xu Shuo and Junxiong glanced at each other, both looking a little overwhelmed.

And Liliam herself was also taken aback by her gaffe, she buried her face in her knees, and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I said something inexplicable, please pretend I didn't hear it." ”

Xu Shuo smiled bitterly, "Even if you say so......"

Toshio sensed something in the strange atmosphere, he threw down the oil and meat in his hand, muttered "Oops,," and walked out the door.
