The impression that the teenager Yu 13 gave me was not good. Although, I saved his life. Although, he saved my life again.

He called me "Engong", but judging by his attitude towards me, it seemed as if he was not willing.

I simply said to Yu Shisan, "Don't call me Engong anymore." ”

Yu 13 stopped waving the firewood knife in his hand, looked at me in a daze for a long time, and then silently turned his head and continued to chop wood. He said, "Do you think I want to? I just don't know your name." ”

Yu 13 suddenly stopped again, stared at me expressionlessly, and asked, "What's your name?"

I said, "I don't want to say it." ”

Yu Shisan's expression did not change, he let out an "oh", continued to chop wood, and said, "Engong's injury is almost healed, and he can leave after a few days of recuperation." ”

That's how the young man treated his father-in-law.

There is no kindness to speak of.

I look at this eccentric teenager, and I always feel that he seems to be carrying something, otherwise at his age, it is the time when curiosity wins, why does it give people a feeling of seeing through the vicissitudes of life and calming everything?

I said, "I'm not leaving." I'm going to keep looking for Satsuki, even if it's her corpse......"

Yu 13 stopped the firewood knife he was waving in his hand and said, "You must go." ”

His gaze was determined and determined, which made me deeply puzzled, and I asked "Why?"

Yu 13 pursed his lips and said, "If you are here, I will give you my food." You've lived here for half a month, and I haven't had enough to eat for half a month. ”

That's why!

I exclaimed, "I saved your life!"

The boy threw the knife on the ground, picked up the freshly chopped firewood, and without looking at me, he said, "Me too." ”

During the days when he was recuperating from his injuries in Qingya Valley.

Yu 13 has always been mysterious, leaving early and returning late, and every time he comes back, I have to ask him anxiously, "How is it?"

Yu 13 took off the food he was carrying back from his shoulders, shook his head indifferently, and said, "No." ”

Again and again I fell into disappointment, disappointment, disappointment...... Until despair.

Half a month. Yu Thirteen has been searching for traces of Satsuki in the valley. In the course of his tireless search, day and night, he found the blue light and blood that I had left behind.

He also found a cloak soaked in blood. It was Satsuki's coat, and under the heavy smell of blood, there was still a faint retention of Satsuki's body fragrance.

I became more and more convinced that Satsuki was dead.

Yu 13 said that only his brother and sister lived in this deep valley.

Satsuki has no chance of being rescued by others. She was not as lucky as me to be able to jump off the cliff of Wan Qian without being killed, and was rescued.

Or perhaps, she is luckier than me, and she doesn't have to live alone in this ruthless world, bearing the pain of life and death.

Some injuries can be really painful for a period of time after they happen. But it will also fade gradually in the time that flies.

However, even if it becomes very light, it will still be like a thorn in the heart, and people can feel a faint pain at every moment.

Shu Yao has been missing for half a month.

In the half month since I was rescued by the Yu Thirteen siblings, I have thought more than once about wanting this remnant life and going to the Netherworld to meet Xiaoyue.

However, whenever I have made up my mind, Shu Yao's innocent smile always comes to my mind.

My daughter.

Before Xiaoyue died, the only thing she was worried about was Shu Yao. I am already sorry for their mother and daughter, and now the only thing I can make up for is to endure the pain and live, to find Shu Yao, and to give her a stable and happy life.

When I woke up one day, it was almost noon, and I felt much more relaxed. Except for the fact that my mind was a little muddy due to lying down for a long time, I no longer felt the pain like drilling into the wrist bone at the wound, but had a tingling feeling.

I held on to my weak body and walked out of the humble thatched hut step by step.

On the lapis platform, a girl with long hair is concentrating on boiling herbs. The black medicinal soup in the stone pot exudes a disgusting bitterness.

As if she had not smelled it, the girl sat by the fire, made a fan out of a piece of dry bark, and shook it, and the flames under the stone pot jumped and jumped in response to her movements.

The warm sunlight hit her fair and immature face, coating the shallow fluff on her cheeks with a layer of golden brilliance, and when the breeze blows, the golden fluff sways with the wind, like a large yellow-orange-orange rice field, stirring the delightful ears of rice.

"Your name is Yu ......" These days, Yu Qing'er has been taking care of me, but I still can't remember her name.

The girl seemed to be in deep thought, and was awakened by me, and her hands were flustered, and the bark fell to the ground. She hurriedly picked it up again, fanned the wind, and smiled at me, saying, "Big brother, my name is Yu Qing'er!"

The sound is like a silver bell ringing, graceful and moving. At such a beautiful age, I can't help but think of Shu Yao.

Ten years later, I don't know if Shu Yao will be like her, in this quiet and leisurely valley, shining by the sun and blown by the mountain breeze, so beautiful and moving.

"Ahh

I smiled at her and said, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry." ”

Yu Qing'er was still not at ease, and ran to me to check my injuries. She muttered in a low voice, "No, no, the eldest brother has repeatedly told me to take care of you." If you make any mistakes, he'll scold me to death. ”

I took two steps back, dodging Yu Qing'er's hand that was about to reach out to my chest, and said, "As long as I'm alive, your eldest brother, he won't care about anything else." ”

Yu Qing'er showed a look of displeasure, she frowned, as if she was quite dissatisfied with my words. She said, "Don't say that, big brother. He is actually a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, if you save his life, he will remember this kindness for a lifetime. Otherwise, I won't go out early and return late every day to find someone for you. ”

Is that really the case?

I thought of Yu Thirteen's strange personality, that annoying expression, and those direct and somewhat ruthless words. No matter how Yu Qing'er protects her at this time, it is difficult to change my bad impression of Yu Shisanyi in my heart.

"Oops!" Yu Qing'er suddenly shouted, "Oh no, no, no!" She hurriedly ran back to the stone cauldron, and she didn't care about the heat, so she lifted half of the wooden board covering the stone cauldron, looked into the black stone cauldron twice, and suddenly her face changed, and she was almost about to cry.

"What can I do about this, what can I do about this?" Yu Qing'er cried.

I asked, "What's wrong?"

Yu Qing'er raised her head, looked at me with teary eyes, and said, "I talked to you by myself, and I boiled the herbs." ”

I shook my head helplessly and comforted, "It's just one herb." I don't drink it, so why do you have to do that?"

Yu Qing'er said, "How can that be?!" These herbs were picked by the eldest brother who risked his life and climbed to a cliff more than ten zhang high, and they are very good for your injuries. Now that I am boiled into a scorched black, isn't it in vain for my eldest brother's hard work. ”

I looked into the distance, far away, the smooth stone walls that were almost angular. If what Yu Qing'er said was true, I couldn't imagine what kind of hardships and dangers that the young man who still looked a little weak had gone through to get these herbs.

I was moved and said, "I...... It's not worth it for him to do this to me. ”

It's really not worth it. Even if I had a life-saving kindness to him, now, after losing Satsuki, I am actually a dead person. It's just for the sake of her daughter, who is forced to survive in this world.

It's not worth the risk to save me.

Yu Qing'er is still immersed in deep self-blame. I walked up to her, picked up a wooden spoon on the ground, scooped up a large piece of blackened medicine residue from the stone pot, and stuffed it directly into her mouth before Yu Qing'er could react.

I know that this dregs must be very bitter, even if I can't bear it before.

But what could be more bitter in this world than my heart right now?

I believe that all the bitterness in this world is indifferent to me. However, the burning heat of the fire brought me pain from life to death.

As soon as the medicine residue was swallowed, a burning and unbearable pain went from the tip of the tongue to the base of the tongue, and then into the throat, causing the heart and lungs to shrink into a ball.

"Poof!" I hurriedly spat out the dregs, and the black dregs sprayed all over the ground. I tried my best to stick my tongue out and fan it hard, but I couldn't get rid of the burning pain.

Yu Qing'er was amused by me, she giggled, and seemed to have completely forgotten the self-blame when she boiled the medicine just now.

The bell-like laughter revealed her girlish innocence.
