The fish was finally grilled, and Qin Xi couldn't wait for a long time.

Watching Luo Bei calmly take down a piece of charred black fish that had been grilled, Qin Xi didn't know if he could really eat it, Luo Bei carefully peeled off the black hard shell formed on the outside, and immediately revealed the snow-white and delicate flesh, which made the two hungry people look at it as if they were feasting.

"This is really amazing, the outside looks like it has been roasted black, but the meat inside is still so well preserved!" Qin Xi took the fish handed over by Luo Bei and couldn't help but say.

"This is called scorching on the outside and tender on the inside!" Luo Bei didn't expect that he could do so well for the first time, and said proudly.

Qin Xi took two bites of the fish, although it was only the taste of the fish itself, it was a rare delicacy at the moment, not to mention that she had just come out of the haze, and there was a little less depression in her heart.

She didn't expect Luo Bei to speak in such a proud tone, and it was so solemn that he laughed and said, "Where did you learn the craft?"

Luo Bei added some dry wood to the fire as he flipped over the fish that was still roasting, and his eyes were dancing flames.

He exhaled, after Qin Xi's question, he remembered the night when he just came out of the "Misty Mustard Seed", at the foot of the mountain, there were wilderness everywhere, there were no people in sight, it was dark and cold, he and Zhao Jin, Yun Niang, Yang Zaixing, Mu Xinrui and a few people slept in the wilderness.

Everyone has a clear division of labor, some people collect firewood, some people make fires, Yang Zaixing also brought game, and when he was full, he lay on the warm ground and fell asleep.

It is also the poorest place in life, and there is still warmth.

However, he did not expect that what he experienced later would be enough to change his life.

In order to save the people of the Great Song Dynasty who were targeted by the Jin soldiers, the heroic Yang Zaixing rode alone to cover the people, and finally died in Xiaoshanghe, and among these people were Mu Xinrui's parents and younger brother.

On the day Yang Zaixing's body was brought back, Mu Xinrui knelt outside, and she told Luobei that she had told her all the way that had attracted several encirclements.

Although Luo Bei was distressed, he didn't blame her, because he knew that Yang Zaixing had already known all this, since he had forgiven her, what right did he have to blame her, not to mention that Yang Zaixing's death was more painful than anyone else.

In the end, he took his younger brother to build a thatched hut outside the pine forest, intending to spend his life with him. What kind of affection is this?

From that moment on, he realized that many things in life are not something that can be explained by a simple sentence of good and bad, good and evil, human nature is complex, and the choice between affection and reality seems to be always so difficult and full of pain

"In just a few months, a lot of people are gone......"

Qin Xi could see the pain written on Luo Bei's face, imagining everything he might have experienced, and found that she was not the only one in this world who had a deep scar in her heart, she sighed, and actually laughed, she reached out and patted Luo Bei's shoulder, and said, "It's okay, aren't I still alive?"

"The two of us haven't known each other for a long time, but we jumped into the abyss together twice, and we both survived in the end, what do you say this means?" Qin Xi asked.

Luo Bei sighed and was speechless, the two of them did not know each other for a long time, jumped off a cliff on Jun Mountain, and threw themselves into the lake together tonight, this is a big accident and a great wonder that most people rarely see in their lives, and I don't know if this is a deep fate or an unladylike encounter?

"What do you mean?" asked Luo Bei.

Qin Xi threw away the fish bones that he had eaten, and then looked at the boundless lake and said, "This shows that everything in this life is fate."

Definitely!"

"But I have never been able to understand what fate is? Life is fate, death is fate, seeing relatives and friends die under the butcher's knife is fate, even my unpredictable life is fate, so what are we? Are we just puppets who are tricked and played by fate?" Luo Bei also stood up, his eyes were gloomy, thinking of what he had experienced in the past few years, and he still said in confusion in his heart.

Qin Xi turned his head and said with a smile: "Wrong, at least it's not only misery that is fate, there are mountains and rivers in this world, Qin Se and Ming, peacocks flying southeast, loyal ministers and people forgetting death, and ...... An inexplicable encounter between people and people......"

Above the sky, the dark clouds faded away.

The moon rises and the sky is blue.

The night was silent and speechless, Qin Xi and Luo Bei were full of food, and gradually became sleepy, so Luo Bei learned from Mu Xinrui to cover the ashes that had not been burned out with new soil, so that Qin Xi would not suffer from the wind and cold in the night.

Qin Xi sat beside him and began to count the stars in the sky, Luo Bei put on the clothes that had been baked and dried, and quietly listened to every word she said, when he turned his head to look at her, Qin Xi had closed his eyes sleepily, and his body shook for a while, as if he was about to fall to the ground at any time.

In the end, Qin Xi's head rested on Luo Bei's shoulder, her breath was even, and she slept so sweetly.

The wind blew gently, causing the flames to shake like a swaggering red flower.

Luo Bei looked at the night sky, and looked down at Qin Xi, who was sleeping soundly on his shoulder, there seemed to be a faint smile on his delicate and elastic face, and his long eyelashes were like butterfly wings.

Willful and extremely sensitive, she let go of all her guards and fell asleep peacefully at the moment, which shows that she trusts Luobei enough.

This kind of trust is not easy to establish, because the environment in which she grew up makes her feel that the people around her are not trustworthy at all times, so in the past, only her father and father are the real relatives in her heart and can be trusted unconditionally, in addition, in her eyes, everyone seems to be puzzled and ridiculed when they see her.

"This is the illegitimate daughter raised by the master outside!"

"Madame has always regarded her as a thorn in her side, and she herself is still proud of her master's favor!"

"What a daughter, it's just a wild girl with an unknown background!"

Qin Xi has never questioned anyone, and she has never embarrassed those subordinates and maids because of this, she will be full of smiles after walking out of that door every day, laughing wantonly, laughing arrogantly, she wants everyone to see that she is her father's favorite daughter, she doesn't want to be intimidated by other people's rumors, and she doesn't want people to see her vulnerable side.

But in fact, day after day, she was already exhausted.

"Mother, where the hell are you?"

"Why don't you see me......"

"Is everything really what they say it is?"

Her breathing was no longer as calm as just now, and became a little short, Luo Bei looked down, but her body didn't dare to move, and found that Qin Xi didn't wake up, but was sobbing in her dream, and then it gradually turned into a whimper.

It can be seen that even in her dreams, she is still thinking about a person all the time, a person she has never met, but she can't avoid in her life.

The evening breeze blows, and the starlight and the moonlight mix together, like an inverted hanging lake water splashed down from the sky.

Luo Bei still didn't feel sleepy, his body kept a position for a long time, and he didn't move, until this moment he was a little numb and stiff, but Luo Bei still insisted, not wanting to wake Qin Xi up from his dream

Because although she was crying at the moment, the expression on her face was happy, maybe in this dream, she really saw that person, the two were talking about their hearts, maybe she was snuggling in that person's arms, curled up into a baby again.

Everything in the dream will not be real, because as long as it is a dream, there will always be a time to wake up, and when you wake up, everything becomes a mirror, as the Buddhists say, like a dream bubble, it comes and loses quickly.

So should people have dreams?

Perhaps, since there are often misfortunes in life, if you can warm up in your dreams, why not be true or false?

The dry wood burned to ashes and was blown away by the wind.

The flame was about to be extinguished soon, and Luobei didn't go to add firewood, because as soon as he looked up at this moment, he could see that in the farthest part of the mirror-like lake, there was already a fish belly white quietly swimming into the sky.

He suddenly felt that the dryness in his throat was about to crack, and his eyes were a little sour, so even if he was not completely sleepy, he planned to close his eyes and recuperate.

The brain didn't know when it began to become blank, the weight on his shoulders suddenly lightened, he felt that Qin Xi should have woken up and moved his head off his shoulders, so he was about to open his eyes to see, but when he really opened his eyes, what he saw was not what it should be in the morning.

It was more like dusk, twilight hanging on the branches, and the sky was about to crack as if it had been burned red.

"Could it be that I slept for so long as I closed my eyes, and if Qin Xi woke up, then why didn't she wake herself up?"

Luo Bei lowered his head, and his eyes were blurred for a while.

In a trance, he saw a pair of hands, a pair of hands stained with bright red blood.

Surprised, I suddenly felt an inexplicable pain in my heart, and when I looked at it again, those hands turned out to be my own.

And his body, which had fallen to the ground without moving for half a minute, suddenly moved again, and then grabbed his trouser leg with one hand.

At this moment, there was a roar in Luo Bei's head, as if there was a thunder that could not be encircled, and it could explode at any time, so he lowered his head with this feeling.

However, the moment he made this move, he began to regret it, and vaguely felt that as long as he looked at it, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

But when he saw it, it was just such a simple glance, the slightly raised face, the bloodshot eyes that were still full of pity and pleading, all made Luo Bei fall into the abyss for a moment.

"Qin Xi, you ...... How did you become like this?" Luo Bei wanted to squat down and help Qin Xi, who was seriously injured and wanted to die, up, but no matter how hard he tried, the people who were close at hand were still as far away as the end of the world.

Qin Xi didn't answer him, not knowing if he was so weak that he couldn't speak or if he couldn't hear it at all.

Luo Bei stretched out her hand, trying to reach her, and she also trembled and stretched out her hand, but the short distance seemed to be separated by a whole galaxy, so that they couldn't get close to each other even half a point after using all their life's strength.

"Why is this happening?"

"Why?"

"Am I really going to be the devil who slays the world? Are those prophecies true?"

Luo Bei felt that his tears were about to run dry, no matter whether he opened his eyes or closed them, it was Qin Xi's last look, and he couldn't get rid of it.

"Luobei, wake up...... Other...... Don't scare me......"

When Luo Bei woke up, he saw Qin Xi hugging his shoulder, his face full of melancholy.

Could it be that there are two sides to a dream, one side is joy and the other side is ...... Sad?

......
