A light rain fell outside the window, and Zhou Qinghai's heart sounded a ticking sound. Parting, in the end, is parting, Zhou Qinghai must immediately be his only good brother, must leave. The hatred outside has the ultimate temptation for Zhou Qinghai, this temptation allows him to lose his name, and he can abandon the best friend in front of him.

"My dear brother, you are my good brother Zhou Qinghai for life. ”

"My good brother, the Valley of No Man's Land seems to outsiders to be a terrifying place full of demons and monsters, but in my eyes it is a paradise, where there is no fame and wealth, no deceit, only respect for life, even if the killing that happens every day is for the most basic survival. The flowery, humane world outside, in my opinion, is the eighteenth layer of hell, with a scorching ghost fire, a boiling oil pot, and even more terrifying, a straw mat is spread on top of the ghost fire, making you mistakenly think that it is your friend's bed for you to rest, and the oil pot is the stove that provides you with things. When you think of them as your friends, they remove the mat and let you fall into the ghost fire and burn you, and when you stand by and admire the delicious things, the hand that holds you behind your back and pushes it forward coldly, and your bones turn to ashes. ”

"In this uninhabited valley, leopard, you are a top carnivore, and you have no other enemies except disease, so my good brother, although I would love to take you out of the uninhabited valley, I cannot ignore your life and death for my own selfish interests. In the world beyond the valley, those enemies may harm you because of my grudge with them. What's more, you are now an adult, because of my relationship, you have not yet formed your own family, and now it is time for you to form your own family and live your happy life. ”

In addition to eating, drinking, and sleeping, Lin Yuanhai and Cucumber spent the rest of their time rubbing straw ropes. Zhou Qinghai saw the grass rope getting longer and longer, and looked at the leopard standing next to him.

"Brother Leopard is a wonderful brother, I feel uncomfortable leaving it suddenly, I have to let it leave me step by step, after forming his own family here, after his feelings for me are not so strong, I will choose the time to escape from the valley of no man. ”

The light rain outside stopped, and Zhou Qinghai picked up the leopard and jumped down the cave. In the grasslands, there are more leopards, where the leopard brothers will find more of their own companions. An adult female leopard stood on the grassland and looked around, and when the leopard brothers saw the female leopard, the **** in their hearts was like a spark quickly ignited on the grassland. Zhou Qinghai put down and patted the leopard, pointing at the female leopard who was squinting at them. The leopard brother jumped in front of the mother leopard and licked her face with her tongue. The female leopard in estrus immediately tickles the leopard with her head as a sign of her affection for the leopard. Zhou Qinghai turned around and waved his hand at the two leopards, the two leopards looked at Zhou Qinghai in unison, and the moment Zhou Qinghai turned around, the eight retreats immediately ran on the grassland. Zhou Qinghai stood in front of the cave, looking at the grassland below through the dense woods, catching the leopard's message with his keen ears. Zhou Qinghai watched and listened in disappointment, but never heard the sound of the leopard.

"What are you disappointed about, don't you just want to find a home for Brother Leopard, let him have children, no longer be lonely after you leave, no longer miss you so much, and let it find its own spiritual sustenance in this world. ”

Zhou Qinghai comforted himself in his heart, he was indeed happy for the leopard, but thinking that he was about to leave his only brother, Zhou Qinghai still felt deeply sad.

Zhou Qinghai stood here before eating, after eating, and after practicing, thinking about what the leopard was doing, whether he had eaten food, and whether he was thinking about him. After waiting a few times, Zhou Qinghai fell asleep in worry, and in the middle of the night, Zhou Qinghai woke up from a dream of missing the leopard. Zhou Qinghai subconsciously wanted to hug the leopard and kiss the leopard, but the leopard was not by his side. Zhou Qinghai walked from the bedroom to the entrance of the cave and listened to the sounds outside the cave in the dark night. The wind rustles the grass, the stream rustles over the stones, and beyond that, it's a silent night.

The straw rope was finally finished, and a cry came from outside the cave, and Zhou Qinghai moved his ears, thinking that it was his hallucination. After a short pause, two cries reached Zhou Qinghai's ears. Zhou Qinghai ran to the mouth of the cave. Two leopards stood under the cave and barked at Zhou Qinghai. Zhou Qinghai jumped down the cave, picked up a leopard in one arm, and jumped onto the cliff. Zhou Qinghai instructed Lin Yuanhai and Cucumber to go down the mountain to hunt some fresh food such as hares, wild asses, and goats. Before he left, he was going to give his brother and sister-in-law a hearty meal. When the two apprentices went out hunting, Zhou Qinghai sat in the center of the hall, and the two leopards snuggled up to him.

Leopard and Zhou Qinghai both know that this is the last day they will get together, and in the days to come, they will miss each other immensely, and now they are sitting here, wanting to tell each other a thousand words in their hearts, but when the words come to their mouths, they don't know what to say. The three of them sat and lay there silently, speaking with sad eyes of the pain of being unbearable but having to be separated. Early the next morning, Zhou Qinghai, Lin Yuanhai, and Cucumber finished breakfast early. Zhou Qinghai instructed Lin Yuanhai to pick up the rope coiled on the ground, and the cucumber picked up the remaining hares, wild asses, and goat meat with a goatskin and carried it on his body.

Zhou Qinghai stood under the cave, looking at the cave where he had lived for ten years, and couldn't bear to leave for a long time.

"Master, our two brothers and sisters can't bear to leave this cave like you, and we are even more reluctant to let our dear leopard brother be, and one day your deep hatred will be disgraced, and we will come here again to take the leopard brothers and their family out of the uninhabited valley and find a hidden place, and we will live a happy secluded life together. ”

The cucumber pulled Zhou Qinghai with his hand, and his eyes were also full of tears. After listening to the cucumber's words, Zhou Qinghai slowly turned around and walked forward. As Zhou Qinghai walked, he kept looking back in the direction of the cave. The two brothers also turned their heads back and forth with the master's gaze. Zhou Qinghai was waiting for the leopard to appear, but he couldn't bear the pain of parting, and didn't want the leopard to appear in front of him. Finally, Zhou Qinghai still walked to the place where he built a small cave.
