"Yingxue, are you injured?" When Wu Yingxue took the bowl. Xu Xi noticed that the girl's movements were a little uncoordinated. "Well, I was bitten by a demon lurking underground when I was fighting today." The girl answered honestly. She reached out and pushed aside the edge of her robe, revealing the wound on her left ankle. The wound no longer bleeds, but the scab is very slow. A slight touch will cause itching and discomfort on the leg. This is why Wu Yingxue's movements look so uncoordinated. "It's okay, sir." "It's just a minor injury. It will heal by itself tomorrow."
Wu Yingxue said with a smile, telling Xu Xi not to worry. Xu Xi shook his head. He found a relatively clean white cloth and helped the girl wrap it up to prevent the wound from being exposed. When he got up after tying it up, he met Wu Yingxue's somewhat distracted eyes. "Yingxue?" "Ah...ah, sorry, sorry." Wu Yingxue suddenly woke up and apologized to Xu Xi quickly, saying the reason for her distraction: "I just suddenly remembered that when I first met you, you helped me in the same way." When did he and the girl meet? Xu Xi thought roughly. Only then did he realize that they had known each other for ten years. Ten years is a very long time. A person's life span is a hundred years, but how many ordinary people can really live to be a hundred years old? Ten years is a long enough time for many people. I usually don't care about it. But when I think back, I feel that the flow of time seems to echo in my ears, bringing traces of years. "In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed." Xu Xi was quite emotional. As time slowly and steadily passed, the last orange sunset gradually dissipated in the sky. Xu Xi and Wu Yingxue sat side by side, sitting on the cold and rough stones, watching the changes in the sky together, watching the sun completely set, casting the last bit of warmth.
The two talked a lot. There were past events in Qingniu Town, and the torment of studying the fool's skill together. There was the warmth of the New Year in Pingshui County, and the fat chicken leg of that year. After discovering the truth of the big dry, they worked hard to plan to break through the Shiwan Mountains together. Those past. Those years. Together formed unforgettable memories. As they chatted, the topic turned to the world outside the Shiwan Mountains. "Sir, what do you want to do after leaving the Shiwan Mountains?" Under the darkening sky, the girl supported the big stone below with both hands and asked Xu Xi curiously. "I haven't thought about this yet," Xu Xi smiled slightly. After all. He had long been prepared to die in the Shiwan Mountains. A dying person will not think about the future. Looking at the dark sky above his head and feeling the terrifying aura approaching, Xu Xi felt that it was time to say something to the girl. "Yingxue." Xu Xi paused, then said: "You take everyone away. The sooner you leave, the sooner you can get out of danger." "What about you, sir?" The girl's intuition was sharp, and she caught the gap in Xu Xi's words at once. She looked at Xu Xi, and her clear eyes reflected Xu Xi's figure: "Sir, don't you plan to go with us?" "I... will be there at the party." The setting of the sun seemed to take away all vitality. The world became quiet because of this. The deep night mixed with the rubbing of the interlaced leaves formed a pure and flawless plainness. Xu Xi comforted Wu Yingxue: "The demons in front can be solved with you, but someone needs to cover the rear to prevent the demons from chasing the rear." "Don't worry, I will return soon after blocking the demons." Long time no see. Xu Xi told a white lie. He knew that with Yingxue's impulsive personality, if she knew his plan, she would definitely not agree to let him stay alone.
"But, but!" "Sir, let me be the last one!" The girl's reaction was more excited than Xu Xi expected. She stretched out her hands and held Xu Xi tightly, as if she was holding on to something that was about to disappear. "It's okay, Yingxue." "I'm just the last one, nothing will go wrong..." "Don't lie to me again, sir!" The girl grabbed harder, causing Xu Xi's arm to hurt. Xu Xi saw that the girl's crystal eyes were filled with pleading. "I know, I've always known." "Sir, you didn't plan to go out with us from the beginning." "I will never accept such a thing!" "Sir, let me be the last one, just this time, just this time!" The girl held Xu Xi's arm tightly. The pleading in her eyes gradually turned into begging. The lively voice in the past also turned into a wail that Xu Xi had never seen before. After a long silence, Xu Xi extended his palm and stroked Wu Yingxue's head for the first time: "Sorry, Yingxue, I can't promise you this time." The stroking palm suddenly turned into a palm knife. He gently hit the girl's neck. Making her dizzy. "Have a good sleep," Xu Xi said softly, handing the temporarily fainted girl to the people of the Survival Army, letting them take her away. The people were reluctant to leave, silently picked up their weapons, and wanted to fight the enemy with Xu Xi. "Really..." Xu Xi felt warm and funny. Under his influence, everyone became the same fool, and no one was willing to abandon anyone, so Xu Xi mobilized the blood and qi in his body and left at a speed that the people could not catch up with. He was very lucky. Wu Yingxue was still so innocent. All the things she wanted to do would be written directly on her face. If she changed another way today, or left secretly like Ah Niu. Then Xu Xi would really have a headache.
"I die alone, and everyone lives. This is the best ending." Xu Xi murmured. His death is not the end. It is the best way to cover the rear. However, as soon as Xu Xi left a distance, he felt dizzy and his body fell from the air and fell to the ground. "Strange, I, I am..." Xu Xi was confused. The sleepiness could not stop coming. In the last moment before losing consciousness, he saw Wu Yingxue, who should have been sleeping. The overly strong trance made Wu Yingxue have multiple double images and psychedelic confusion. "Mr. Big Fool, please have a good rest." "You are still so foolish, so foolish that you want to shoulder everything by yourself." "Really foolish..." "A fool who only thinks about protecting others." Wu Yingxue stepped out of the darkness, gently picked up the fainted Xu Xi, and handed him over to the people who caught up with him. Wu Yingxue had a lot to say to Xu Xi. For example, she has grown up. She is an adult in her twenties. She is no longer the little girl who fell into Xu Xi's house and cried silently alone. For example, she is not weak, she can also protect Xu Xi. "Sorry, sir, this time it's my turn to be a hero." "I hope you don't blame me..."
