Life is always full of unknowns, it is difficult for you to know what will happen in the next moment, it is always unpredictable to get together and part, how much distance is there between life and death? How far is the distance between hearts and minds? When you open your hand when you think you have held it, you find that there is nothing in your hand, you cannot predict the future, you just live in the present.

The reason why people are people is because of feelings, because people have feelings, so people will be happy, they will be painful, they will be helpless, many times the things that torture people are feelings, if you have no feelings, you will not be happy, you will not be painful, you will not be helpless, and you will not do a lot of things that you regret.

Emotional people tend to be swayed by feelings, and when they are in pain, they tend to do things that hurt themselves, and the reason for this is because they have become completely disappointed in some people.

Lan Qing, this is a very nice name, this is Sister Lan's original name, Sister Lan used to love to laugh, when she laughed, even people who were in a gloomy mood would feel sunny, she didn't hide her smile at all, because she knew that her smile was beautiful.

Her smile slowly became less and less, because she found that she could not smile in the dark river, the dark river was like a black curtain, her light had been completely obscured by this black cloth, and her cheerful smile was slowly lost under this black curtain.

Xiaomei is Sister Lan's only sister in Dark River, they have the same fate, they understand each other, they have nothing to say, Sister Lan has been in Dark River for ten years, and now Sister Lan no longer has to accompany Dark River's killers, because she can now have her own choice, this is also the rule of Dark River, when you dedicate yourself to Dark River for eight years, you can have your own choice, and the power to do or not to do is in your hands.

Sister Lan already has such power, but Xiaomei has not, this is Xiaomei's third thought in the dark river, every night there will be a killer of the dark river knocking on Xiaomei's door, Xiaomei will resist at first, will desperately protect herself, but with the futile efforts again and again she finally understands all this, so she no longer resists, she gradually numb, the only time she feels that she is still a human is when she is talking to Sister Lan.

Xiaomei is just a twenty-three-year-old girl, her face has too much melancholy and helplessness that she shouldn't have at this age, Xiaomei got up from bed with a tired face, she slowly got dressed, she got out of bed slowly, her movements were very slow, because there were not many things that could make her interested.

Lan Qing suddenly pushed the door in, Xiaomei immediately smiled when she saw that it was Lan Qing, she walked quickly to Sister Lan and said, "Sister Qing, you are here." ”

Lan Qing nodded and said, "I'm bored, I want to talk to you." ”

Xiaomei looked at her bed, the futon on her bed was still very messy, it was not difficult to think of what happened last night, Xiaomei also opened her mouth, Sister Lan stepped forward to fold the bedding and tidy it up, and then Sister Lan lay on the bed, and Xiaomei lay next to Sister Lan.

Lan Qing's mood doesn't look very good, in the past, Sister Lan had endless words when she came, but this time Lan Qing was silent, of course Xiaomei didn't know that Sister Lan met Xiong Yu last night, of course Xiaomei didn't know that Lan Qing made an exception for Xiong Yu, Lan Qing didn't have to pick up guests, but Lan Qing didn't refuse Xiong Yu, Lan Qing didn't refuse Xiong Yu There are two reasons, the first is because Xiong Yu looked at his eyes, and the second is what Xiong Yu said to her, which makes Lan Qing feel that Xiong Yu is very special, at least no one here is like Xiong Yu.

Xiaomei looked at Sister Lan and said in a low voice, "Sister Qing, what's wrong with you today?"

Sister Lan suddenly asked, "Xiaomei, do you think we are still good women?"

Xiaomei was stunned and said, "Count, why don't we count?

Lan Qing sighed, and then Sister Lan said, "Those men who can't stand the loneliness only use us as playthings to vent, but what about men other than these men?

Xiaomei couldn't answer, or she didn't want to answer at all, Xiaomei said in a deep voice: "Sister Qing, why do you ask these questions?"

Lan Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Do you like the Dark River?"

Xiaomei nodded and said: "What's wrong with the Dark River, it's good to eat and live here, and someone buys me whatever I want, there's nothing missing here, why don't I like the Dark River." ”

Lan Qing stared at Xiaomei's eyes, paused, and Sister Lan smiled and said, "What you said is not the truth, I can see and hear it." ”

This time it was Xiaomei's silence, and the short silence was like a whole year, Xiaomei smiled helplessly: "What if you don't like it? If you don't like me, you can leave? Even if I'm lying to myself? At least I didn't hurt others." ”

Lan Qing was speechless for a while, she didn't know how to comfort the girl in front of her who was seven years younger than herself, Sister Lan could only hug Xiaomei tightly, and then Xiaomei's tears suddenly burst, this seemingly strong girl finally showed her weak side, this side is the real Xiaomei.

And what woman can be strong enough to carry all this alone?

Lan Qing suddenly spoke: "From tonight, I will pick up guests." ”

Xiaomei's body shook and said, "Sister Qing, you are crazy, you finally jumped out of this fire pit, do you still want to go back now?"

Lan Qing was silent, and Xiaomei continued: "Sister Qing, why do you want to spoil yourself like this, don't you know the true face of those killers? They are like male dogs, they don't estimate your and my feelings at all, they are just venting." ”

Lan Qing got up suddenly, and then she touched Xiaomei's head and said, "I'm not doing myself, because I'm a lowly person, and he simply looks down on people like me from the bottom of his heart." As soon as the words fell, Lan Qing rushed out of the door, leaving her tears in the air, Xiaomei didn't know who he was in Lan Qing's mouth, Xiaomei only knew that her sister Qing must have suffered great grievances and pain.

Xiong Yu smelled the medicinal fragrance coming from the house from a long distance, this is a big mansion, and there are two killers at the door of the house, these two killers immediately bent down to say hello after seeing Ah Qi, Ah Qi nodded and said: "This is Xiong Yu Xiong Gongzi, a guest invited by the leader, he wants to meet Mr. Lan Er." ”

As soon as the two killers heard Ah Qi's introduction, they looked at Xiong Yu with a hint of respect in their eyes, and Ah Qi said to Xiong Yu after saying this: "I have an assassination mission to carry out these days, I'm afraid you won't see me for a few days, just go back to Qixiang Pavilion after you finish talking with Mr. Lan Er, Sister Lan has already instructed her, she will arrange a place for you to live." ”

After Xiong Yu nodded, Ah Qi left, the two killers opened the door of the house for Xiong Yu, Xiong Yu strode into the house, the closer he walked, the stronger the medicinal fragrance became, Xiong Yu took a deep breath, he suddenly remembered that he had also smelled this smell when he first met Mr. Lan Er, Mr. Lan Er had really dedicated his life to the medical Tao.

The door of the house was not closed, Xiong Yu slowly walked into the house, as soon as he entered the room, Xiong Yu saw the back of Mr. Lan Er, what a familiar back, Xiong Yu's voice was a little excited: "Mr. Lan Er." ”

What a familiar voice this is for Mr. Lan Er, that is the voice that belongs to Xiong Yu, Mr. Lan Er turned around instantly, Xiong Yu saw that the corners of Mr. Lan Er's eyes were a little moist, Mr. Lan Er looked a lot haggard, his beard was a little messy, like grass, his sleeves were rolled up, and there was a small copper stove in front of him.

"Xiong Yu, is that you?" said Mr. Lan Er's voice trembled.

Xiong Yu walked up to Mr. Lan Er in a few steps and said, "Mr. Lan Er, it's me, I'm here." ”

Mr. Lan Er nodded and took a deep breath and said, "You shouldn't have come, you shouldn't have come, this is a dark river, you are simply throwing yourself into a dead end." ”

Xiong Yu shook his head and said, "Fan Xiuwen has been killed by me, I killed him with my own hands, and your revenge has been avenged." ”

Mr. Lan Er didn't seem to be very happy after hearing this, his face was gloomy and said: "I, although my revenge has been avenged, but, but I haven't saved your master yet, I am about to succeed, I am about to succeed, but at this moment, the people of the dark river appeared, I am just one step away, give me three more days and I will be confident that I will develop the antidote pill, but I just don't have a chance." ”

Xiong Yu patted Mr. Lan Er's shoulder and said, "It's not your fault, you can't be blamed for this." ”

Mr. Lan Er motioned for Xiong Yu to sit down and said, then Mr. Lan Er closed the door of the house and walked up to Xiong Yu and said, "Why are you here, you know that the dark river is coming for you, why do you still come." ”

Xiong Yu frowned and said, "Because I found a note, through which I found the dark river, Mr. Lan Er, do you know where my master is imprisoned?"

Mr. Lan Er shook his head and said: "I was researching medicinal materials that day, I only heard a gust of wind and felt a pain in the back of my neck and lost consciousness, and when I woke up, I found that I had arrived at the Dark River, and the people of the Dark River wanted to kill me, but later they found out that only I could solve the poison in Xiaoyaozi, so they left me here to develop an antidote, and they said that I would do what I liked, but in fact, they just put me under house arrest here, and I couldn't even get out of the door." ”

After hearing this, Xiong Yu took a deep breath and said, "What does the leader of the Dark River want to do? ”

Mr. Lan Er said with a sad face: "You don't have to think about this, the only thing you have to do now is to get out of here, if the people of the Dark River threaten you with the lives of me and Xiaoyaozi, then you really have no way out." ”

Xiong Yu smiled and said, "I have long had no way out, I will definitely take you and my master out of the dark river safely." ”

Mr. Lan Er was silent, this is really a difficult thing, Xiong Yu paused and said, "No matter what, I must first find out where my master is being held." ”

Mr. Lan Er nodded and said, "You must be extra careful when doing things in the Dark River. ”

Xiong Yu nodded and said, "I'll pay attention, I don't know how my master's body is recovering." ”

Mr. Lan Er immediately said: "Xiaoyaozi's injuries have recovered most of his injuries under my care, and the poison on his body has almost been exhausted, as long as Xiaoyaozi will be able to recover to the same as before." ”

Suddenly, Mr. Lan Er's hands clapped and said, "By the way, I remembered something, maybe you can meet Xiaoyaozi through this matter." ”
