Chapter 1 Reduced to waste
The snow, as the wind swept through the woods, I don't know how long it had been.
Overlooking the woods, there is not a single beast left behind. But if you look closely, you can see that there is a black dot moving at an extremely slow speed.
The girl was only sixteen years old, and her immature face was full of exhaustion. Behind her was a plank, and a handsome-looking man was wrapped in layers of quilts. The two are connected by a single rope.
The girl's shoulders were already bright red. However, she knew she couldn't give up. If she couldn't find the miracle doctor in the south, her brother Chen Xiao would definitely not be able to hold on.
The wind and snow made the hope in her heart sway like a light in the wind.
I don't know how long later, a farmhouse appeared in front of me, and it stood out in the snow-white woods.
"Come on, keep pushing harder!"
The girl gritted her teeth, she didn't know if the miracle doctor would be there, but even if she wasn't, as long as she could rest there, she wouldn't freeze to death in this deserted place.
One step, two steps, every step is so difficult. The feet were heavy as lead.
"Right now, right now...... Not ......"
The girl felt her vision blurry in front of her, and her legs went limp, and she plunged headlong into the snow.
At that moment, the cold swept over like a tide, painful like a pinprick in pain. Eventually, the limbs began to go numb and all sensations began to fade.
She looked ahead, her breath condensing into a mist, leaving her with only a figure walking towards her, and then everything went black.
......
A warm and supple touch came from all around, and the girl frowned slightly, and opened her eyes in a trance.
Ahead, there was steaming in the dim and yellowed room.
When he looked down, he saw a thin old man boiling water, and he could see the sparks in his pipe.
"You're awake!"
The old voice rang out, soft, yet calm.
The girl took a deep breath, sat up on the edge of the bed, and replied, "Thank you for saving your life, Mengxi is willing to do her best to repay your kindness." ”
The old man laughed, took a puff of his cigarette, and slowly got up.
"The old man doesn't need to be repaid, since he fainted in front of the old man's door, he can't die without help. By the way, what's your name, why did you come to this forest with a wreck on your back?"
The girl looked at Chen Xiao on the bed next to him, he was still in a coma, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but burst into tears.
"My name is Chen Mengxi, this is my brother Chen Xiao, the reason why he is like this is to make my life better, so he desperately cultivates, just so that one day he can obtain the family's resources through the clan ratio, but he was dissatisfied with the clan and wasted his spiritual power and meridians in the clan ratio. ”
The old man listened calmly, without the slightest wave. After being silent for a long time, the old man said: "It is not easy for your brother and sister, I can save him, but I am afraid that in this life he will be an ordinary mortal who can no longer be ordinary." ”
Speaking of this, Chen Xiao, who was in a coma, frowned slightly.
This scene is in Chen Mengxi's eyes, since she was a child, she knew that her brother had a heroic dream, he once said that one day he would take himself across the clouds to see the most beautiful sunrise. And all of this seems to be just a dream of Nanke now.
Chen Mengxi pursed her lips, bit her red lips slightly, and said, "As long as my brother can live, everything will always be fine." ”
The old man let out a long sigh and stared at the young man in front of him, and couldn't help but leak a sense of regret.
"Even if there is a mortal way, there is a mortal way. ”
......
Half a year later, summer is in full swing. A young man lies in the soft grass, looking up at the sky at dusk, and his heart is lost.
"Am I destined to be mediocre in this life? Why?"
Chen Xiao stretched out a hand, as if he wanted to grasp the sunset in his hand.
"Mortals have their own mortal happiness, they don't have to worry about how to live every day, what's wrong with living a life that works at sunrise and rests at sunset?"
Looking for the voice, Chen Xiao sat up, turned his head and looked back, it was the old man who had helped him treat him in the past six months-Xuanchen.
"Senior Xuanchen, why are you here?"
Xuanchen glanced at him, smiled without saying a word, and sat down beside him. Accompanying Chen Xiao to watch the dusk for a long time, he said leisurely: "The world of Xiuzhen is destined to be full of killing and blood. Sometimes it's not a good thing to be able to live in a place like this. ”
Chen Xiao knew that Xuan Chen was comforting him, so he didn't say anything more. It is to sit quietly and feel this brief but harmonious peace.
Gradually, the sun faded all its brilliance, and the stars began to creep up into the sky.
Xuanchen glanced at Chen Xiao, who was still lying on the ground next to him, laughed, and said, "I'm leaving here." ”
"Huh?" Chen Xiao sat up with a piece of grass in his mouth, and looked at Xuan Chen with a surprised expression, he was already an old man, where else could he go? Although this world is big, it is not as peaceful as it is now.
Chen Xiao's performance did not surprise him. Instead, he continued to say lightly: "Originally, I did want to spend the rest of my life here. But now I always feel that I have to live my whole life, and I shouldn't be left here forever. Some things, some things, are still worth doing, and they are worth pursuing. ”
Chen Xiao didn't say those words, he knew that everyone was free, and there was no need to say more, but he was still a little reluctant in his heart, after all, they had accumulated a certain amount of affection between them in the past six months. So he tentatively asked, "Then will we meet again?"
Xuan Chen hehe, and replied: "Life, but seek the word fate, we may or may never see each other." ”
Chen Xiao didn't speak, just exhaled a long breath. I don't know if it's the sorrow of parting, or what.
"I'm out of here, but you still need to finish reading the art you left in the East Wing. I'm sure you'll use them one day. ”
Xuan Chen's voice was so kind and soft that people couldn't bear to say a word, so Chen Xiao nodded and agreed.
Xuanchen stood up directly, patted Chen Xiao's shoulder and said, "Let's go, go back." Your sister is probably going to be in a hurry again. ”
At the bottom of the hill is still the same house, with a wooden fence, which does not look very strong, but it has a beautiful and interesting style.
When Chen Xiao and Xuanchen came back from the back mountain, they saw Chen Mengxi guarding the door from a distance, and it seemed that they had been waiting for them for a while.
Seeing his brother and Xuanchen coming back, Chen Mengxi was also very happy, and waved and shouted from afar: "Brother! Grandpa Xuan is coming back for dinner, if you don't come back, the rice will be cold." ”
Xuanchen glanced at Chen Xiao and said, "Remember, after I leave, you must take care of this girl, otherwise one day when I meet you, if she is not good, I will only ask you." ”
Chen Xiao knew that Xuanchen doted on his sister very much, and he didn't have to say this. So he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Senior Xuanchen, he is my sister after all, how could I treat her badly? If it weren't for her, I don't think I would be here." ”
