For days, Renata was immersed in grief, seemingly unwilling to accept a fact.

She remembered that before fleeing, Chu Ling had personally told her that the dragon's blood potion had a healing effect close to bringing the dead back to life, and as long as people still had a breath, they could be rescued from an endangered state.

But Chu Ling on the sleigh didn't move at all, does this mean......

The thought of a terrifying possibility made Renata's heart clench.

The good news is that Khorkina's condition is getting better and better these days.

On the seventh day, she slowly opened her eyes, but she looked at Renata with a blank and confused gaze.

At first, Renata thought she was not in good shape because she had just recovered from her injuries.

But gradually it turns out that Khorkina seems to have lost all her memories of being in Black Swan Harbor, and does not even remember who she is.

"Who am I? Where am I? Khorkina asked.

Renata touched her face and said softly: "Your name is Khorkina, you are from the Black Swan Harbor, and we are now going to Moscow, which is a prosperous city. Do you remember who he was? ”

Renata asked, pointing to Chu Zero on the sled.

Khorkina just stared blankly at him and didn't speak, touching the four-leaf clover necklace around her neck, her face even more dazed.

After a few days, Khorkina's mental condition gradually improved, basically reaching the level before the injury, but from time to time she pressed the door of her head and seemed to have a splitting headache: "My name is Khorkina, Khorkina ......"

"Well, we're going to Moscow with Khorkina now. We're going to find Khorkina's parents in Moscow, and you'll be free. Renata said.

Regardless of whether Chu Ling would wake up or not, Renata decided to take his place and fulfill the promise he made to Khorkina.

Because Zero died for her, in a way she was an extension of his life.

After another two days, the two girls pulled the sleigh and arrived in a village not far from Moscow. Because the girls are beautiful, there are always good Samaritans willing to lend a helping hand on the way, and there are truck drivers or mule cart farmers willing to give them a ride.

Renata has learned a lot, and every time she meets someone, she uses a rain cloth to cover Chu Ling so that no one can find out about the existence of the corpse.

But such days could not continue, and the corpses had begun to rot and stink.

"Are we really going to take him with us?" Khorkina looked at Chu Ling's corpse with some pity in her eyes, but after hesitating for a long time, she still asked such a question.

Renata said in her heart how can you do this, how can you leave Zero behind? Do you know how desperate he looks when you get shot by a bullet? The reason why you survived was because of his dragon blood potion! You still have the four-leaf clover necklace he gave you around your neck! You were able to make it to Moscow because he orchestrated his escape, and even your background was stolen from the Doctor's archives by him......

But she couldn't really accuse Khorkina, on the one hand she knew that the other party had lost her memory, and on the other hand, intellectually she also knew, maybe, maybe......

After a night of tears, she accepted a fact, and the next day she got up with red eyes and red crying.

They borrowed shovels from the farmer's house, chose a clean place in the wilderness that no one disturbed, dug up the soil and put Chu Ling's body in it, and finally refilled it with soil, inserted wooden signs on the soil, and a simple tombstone was made.

The tombstone faces the direction of Northern Siberia. The two girls stood silent in front of the grave in the wilderness, not speaking for a long time.

……

The next day the two came to Moscow.

After more than a month's trek, the two finally crossed Siberia and arrived in the capital of Russia, it was already early February 1992, the cold winter had come to an end, spring had quietly arrived, and the street trees in Moscow were already budding on the branches.

After confirming with the local library according to the information collected by Chu Ling in the Black Swan Harbor, Renata did not take long to find Khorkina's family.

Khorkina's luck was good, she had a good baby, her parents were both PhDs from Moscow University, and when she was young, she volunteered to donate her own genetic specimens in order to contribute to the study of genetics in her homeland.

But the couple, who happen to be infertile, appeared at their table as they ate breakfast and talked about this year's rising agricultural prices and teaching at school, and coyly introduced herself and pulled out her identification in Black Swan Harbor.

The Doctor and his wife wept with joy, but they could tell from their appearance that Khorkina was their child, and that her tall figure was inherited from her father, and her beauty was inherited from her mother. It is always a pity that the doctor and his wife have loved each other for many years but have no children, and they did not expect that the accidental act of their youth would bring a trace of unexpected gifts to their regretful married life.

Khorkina's father picked her up and cheered, her mother smiled gracefully and consulted with her husband about going to the most expensive restaurant in Moscow, and the family of three celebrated the memorable day.

And Renata hid in the shadows and watched all this silently, sending Khorkina to her parents, and her mission was accomplished. Next, she had to look for her parents.

When Renata left, Khorkina seemed to sense something and looked in the direction she had left. She couldn't help but grasp the four-leaf clover necklace around her neck, some vague memories flashed in her mind, and she suddenly remembered that she did grow up in Black Swan Harbor, and fell in love with a boy, that boy was handsome and smart, but he was a typical bad boy, and when she fell in love, her heart was sweet but also with a hint of pain.

"Zero ......"

Her eyes trembled and her voice softly called out the name, and the image of them drinking champagne and kissing together on the rooftop under the moon seemed to come to mind, and tears suddenly ran down her cheeks.

"What's wrong, Khorkina? Where is it uncomfortable? The doctor and his wife asked nervously when they noticed their daughter's tears. They are extremely gifted to this gift, and they have even discussed contacting Khorkina with the best high school, asking for the best tutor, and letting her be admitted to her alma mater, Moscow University, for fear that the other party will be wronged.

"It's okay, I'm just...... It's so exciting. Khorkina wiped her tears and smiled reluctantly.

The past is gone, but the future is still long.

Khorkina thought.
