Liuzhang walked very slowly, and Shadow couldn't walk fast, one because of a leg injury, and the other because he felt guilty.

He will never be able to comprehend what kind of sourness a talented person who was once proud of the spring breeze and frost in the fourteen states should be when he returns to the countryside and suffers all the white eyes.

Those people who he tried his best to protect, now step on his head to spit on him, to belittle him, is it wrong to once keep hard, and it is wrong to have the world in his heart?

When he was young, he laughed at the prodigal son for nothing, but now he only laughs at the fame and fame for half his life, urging people to be white-headed.

As a fellow martial artist, Shadow knows that losing martial arts is equivalent to losing dignity, and if there is any young honor and fame at this moment, it will be like a deafening ridicule.

But the person in front of him, he not only lost his martial arts, but also lost everything.

Shadow began to regret that he had been impulsive and leaked the matter of Childe to him, but after thinking about it, he was not a poor person, not to mention that it was difficult to turn over now, even if he told him, it would only make him a ghost.

He walked behind Liuzhang, as if holding an invisible chain in his hand.

Liuzhang's illness is getting worse and worse, not only can he not sleep at night, he can't sleep well, and he often has to stay up until he is sleepy, so that he can fall asleep standing or sitting in extreme exhaustion.

His crutches were now his "bed", supporting his body that collapsed when the wind blew.

The cold wind blew through the mountains, and in the middle of the night, he got up to relieve his hands, but found that he could not even urinate - the huge swelling pressed his lower abdomen, and the already injured legs were difficult to bless such weight, and when it was convenient for him, he had to set up a brace first, support one leg, and then lift the sick leg like a dog to pee out.

The Shadow turned his back, unable to bear to see this.

After walking for another three or five days, the two came to the foot of Huanchu Mountain, and Liuzhang turned around and asked the Shadow if he wanted to go in with him. The Shadow retorted:

"No, I have been entrusted by my son to protect you so far, you arrived safely, and I have completed the task. Ask for your own blessings on the road from here! ”

Liuzhang looked at the shadow, and when he saw him turn to leave, he shouted:

"Don't you want to see what is more painful in this world than death? Let me tell you, in fact, the pain is more like a punishment for me, and I don't feel pain at all to relieve my sins. However, the pity of my relatives, the suspicion of my comrades, and the abandonment of those I shelter are what really make me uncomfortable, do you really not want to see them? ”

Shadow's footsteps stopped, hesitating. To be honest, the suffering of the past few days has opened his eyes, and what is Childe's intentions, he feels that he has not yet understood.

He turned around and saw Liuzhang smiling bitterly, good-naturedly at him.

Liuzhang said again: "Come on, these days, thanks to your care, come and have a glass of wine with me!" My life is short, and you should do it for me! ”

The shadow hesitated for a moment, and involuntarily took two steps forward, to be honest, he was born with no friends, and he never knew when he would be in a different position, and he felt that this person was not as bad as he imagined, but there was a trace of pity.

Some people are born in the sludge, and you can't blame them for being dirty, because they don't know it's dirty.

He stepped forward, patted Liuzhang's arm, and said heroically:

"It's good! You and I have gotten along until now, and it is difficult to calculate the enmity and hatred, so it is better to drink a cup of enmity and enmity together! ”

The two supported each other, and under the light of the setting sun, they walked step by step to the deeper part of Huanchu Mountain.

Along the way, the two of them finally let go of the mustard in their hearts, and the shadow asked Liuzhang for a lot of lessons on the art of war, and Liuzhang taught each other, and at this moment he realized that sometimes it is not possible to achieve victory in the absolute sense by virtue of being alone and courageous.

Liuzhang also patted Shadow's shoulder, and sighed with a smile that he had never had such a brave general as him, otherwise the two of them would be a legend on the battlefield side by side!

Talking and laughing, Liuzhang mentioned the story of his childhood with the white tiger and said:

"People deceive each other, but beasts don't have this heart. You see that the white tiger is fierce, but he knows how to repay his kindness, and even has a trace of 'clumsy', everything is a tendon, such a person is worthy of deep friendship, worthy of becoming a brother who entrusts his life! ”

The shadow smiled: "No wonder Gongzi often says that I am a tendon, it turns out that I am such a responsible person in his heart!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After walking for about two or three hours, he saw a brother coming down from the mountain, and when he saw the two of them, he hurriedly put up his bow and arrows, and waited for him.

Liuzhang's face was solemn, faintly gloomy, and he didn't say a word, it turned out that he was in rags at the moment, his face was yellow and thin, where could he still see the appearance of a young general? It wasn't until Xiao Cong heard the words and called out his name from afar that his expression eased slightly.

Seeing each other this time, a thousand lovesickness, a lot of concern, all turned into a spring breeze and dispersed, and the spring ice turned into a trickle of fine grains to moisten all things, and I will not elaborate on it.

——

Lu Xinyi saw that Zijing was losing weight day by day, and his face turned pale, but he didn't know what disease he had, so he didn't say anything, and he was anxious.

She made a few pigeons to simmer in the soup and fed him to drink, only to see a little tenderness in his sad eyes.

Lu Xinyi said: "In the past, when I saw you alive, I was eager to kick someone when I passed by, why did I become a sick man today!" ”

Zijing smiled, reached out and took out a bracelet from his waist - this is a silver bracelet, engraved with a silver snake circling, with a unique appearance, although the material is cheap, but there is no suspicion of shoddy smashing.

Lu Xinyi took the bracelet and only listened to him:

"This bracelet is a pair, it is a sacred relic of our snake clan, there is one in Tushansong, you can wear this one. It is said that it will allow the two sides to exchange hearts. ”

As soon as he heard Tu Shansong's name, Lu Xinyi happily took the bracelet and put it on without hesitation.

"Since this bracelet is something of our snake clan, how can Song have it?"

Zijing snorted, didn't answer positively, but suddenly asked her a question.

"Do you remember the story of the Snow Child?"

Lu Xinyi was playing with the bracelet, and suddenly heard him say this, and couldn't help but ask again: "What?" ”

"Nothing." Zijing turned over and turned his back to her, his back scorched by the bonfire.

After reacting for a while, Lu Xinyi suddenly realized, she saw that Zijing's body was weak, and she couldn't bear it for a while:

"Although I have never heard of the story of the snow child on your side, in my memory, our husband told me the story of the snow child.

Since you can't sleep, I'm going to tell you this story today, and I'll put you to sleep. ”
