Send the rest of my life

In the past many years, Meng Huaize often dreamed of that rainy night.

Meng Huaize had never seen such heavy rain a few times in his life, the sky seemed to be torn open, the rain poured directly from it, and the whole mountain was rumbling.During the day, Meng Huaize had just carried a person into the mountain and bandaged the wound. He was worried that the rainy cave would be too humid for the wound, so he wanted to start a fire, but failed to do so after several attempts.

Finally he gave up, went back to the edge of the cave and sat down, using his body to shield the sleeping man from the outside moisture.

Hearing the sound of rain, Meng Huaize couldn't help feeling a little worried.The place where they stayed was a cave one day's journey away from the mountain. Usually Meng Huaize seldom went into the deep mountains. Most of the time he lived here alone. It was closer to the foot of the mountain, so it was convenient for him to go back and forth and bring people into the mountain. It can also be used as a temporary rest, and when those people's injuries are relieved, he will take them into the deep mountains.

However, the rain fell so heavily that night. If it didn't stop tomorrow, the mountain road would be too muddy and it would take them a few days to make it on their way.

Meng Huaize was thinking like this, when he was a little drowsy, he was suddenly woken up by someone.

He shivered and opened his eyes, the person in front of him was actually Mu Qing.With Wu Yue not around these years, Meng Huaize never saw those little goblins again, and Mu Qing never showed up in the depths of the mountains. This was the first time Meng Huaize saw him again in several years.

There was a faint blue light shining on Mu Qing's body, and her whole body was weak and transparent.Before Meng Huaize could ask what was wrong, he hurriedly said, "Doctor Meng, have you seen Cuicui?"

Shocked, Meng Huaize sat up straight suddenly: "Did Cui Cui not go back?"

Mu Qing shook her head, her voice trembling: "No, I searched the whole mountain, and she is not in the mountain."

During the day, when Meng Huaize rescued people, Cui Cui followed him and helped him patrol the surroundings.After following him to carry her into the mountain, Cui Cui left. At that time, the sky was already gloomy. Meng Huaize was worried that she would be drenched outside by the rain again when she was playing, so she asked her to go back early.

The little girl Cuicui is very playful, and she seldom has free time from morning to night, but no matter whether she is playing in the mountains or going down the mountain, she will always return to Muqing's tree in the evening.

The little kingfisher tilted its head and pecked at his shoulder, as if it disliked his nagging.

Meng Huaize was amused by her, these goblins are the same as Wu Yue, they will not grow up after many years, they still have the temperament of children.

"Okay, let's go."

Cui Cui circled him twice before spreading her wings and flying away into the distance.

He thought Cui Cui had gone back long ago, but at this time, in such a heavy rainy night, Mu Qing came to tell him that Cui Cui was not even in Chuanji Mountain.

Maybe she was playful, or maybe she was trapped by the heavy rain, and she would come back when the rain stopped tomorrow morning... There are so many possibilities for the future, but Meng Huaize dare not bet on any of them.The mountain is in such a mess, what if?Cuicui is just a bird, people should not notice her, but what if?

Meng Huaize couldn't continue thinking, he got up and took off the coir raincoat hanging in the cave, and then strode out of the cave.

"Since Cui Cui is not in the mountain, she must be at the bottom of the mountain. She never flies too far, so let's go down the mountain to find her now."

The raindrops hit the body crackling, like small stones hitting people painfully.Meng Huaize walked forward for a while, turned to look at Mu Qing, but was surprised to find that Mu Qing was standing a few steps away from him, motionless.

A flash of lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the mountains, and the young man's light blue figure became more and more blurred, as if he was about to be scattered by the sudden rain.

Through the rain curtain, he raised his almost transparent hand and looked at Meng Huaize sadly.

"Mu Qing, you..."

"Doctor Meng." Mu Qing's voice sounded in the rainy night, as if she was also drenched by the rain, "I have no way to leave Chuanji Mountain, this is my limit."

He looked at Meng Huaize, his eyes were full of pleading: "Please, Doctor Meng, help me bring Cuicui back."

Meng Huaize could hardly remember how he got down the mountain.The rain was so heavy that his feet got stuck in the mud, and it was difficult to pull out when he sank. The surrounding was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly, so he could only stumble forward with his head depressed.In the end, a group of glowing flying insects flew from nowhere, and the faint light shone brightly in the rain, leading him to the bottom of the mountain.

There was no light at the bottom of the mountain, he staggered and ran over the ruins, the rain drowned out the sound of his footsteps.He was worried that he would miss Cui Cui, so he shouted all the way, but he didn't dare to make his voice too loud, for fear of disturbing the officers and soldiers who didn't know where.

He walked all the way from the foot of the mountain to the neighboring town, there was nothing around him except the night and the sound of rain, everything seemed to have disappeared, and Meng Huaize even occasionally had the illusion that he was the only one left in this huge world. thing.

When passing the long bridge in the town, a homeless man came out from under the bridge, and said dissatisfiedly to him: "Why are you shouting, you are calling your soul!"

After yelling at Meng Huaize, he quickly went back under the bridge.The man's words were vulgar and impolite, but Meng Huaize's eye sockets couldn't help but heat up.

He then got under the bridge and asked the man, "Brother, have you seen a bird? It's the size of half a palm, and its feathers are emerald green..."

Under the dark bridge, I couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, only heard his impatient voice: "I didn't see it, people can't control it, who the hell still has a bird!"

There was another flash, and the whole town was instantly paled. In this moment of light, the man saw Meng Huaize's face clearly. He was taken aback, and asked Meng Huaize, "Are you Doctor Meng?"

Meng Huaize agreed, and the man spoke again, but his attitude was very different from before: "In the evening, I saw a bird, which was a bit like what you said, Doctor Meng. At that time, the group of beasts wanted to take a girl away. The bird is also spiritual, but it kept circling around those people and refused to fly away, and tried to peck those officers and soldiers, as if it wanted to save the woman."

Meng Huaize asked eagerly, "And then?"

The bridge above the head was rumbled by the rain, almost breaking people's eardrums, but the man's not loud words were louder than the rain in Meng Huaize's ears: "Those beasts were pecked, I was so angry that I didn't arrest anyone, but I captured the bird and said that I was going to make jewelry..."

Meng Huaize was stunned for a moment, the thunder rumbling above his head was muffled by the clouds, he shivered, turned around and walked out of the bottom of the bridge, striding towards the town, getting faster and faster, and then turned into a run.Behind him is a silver snake-like white light, born from the darkness, and swallowed by the darkness, repeating itself, treacherous and frightening.

When approaching the place where the bandit soldiers were stationed, Meng Huaize stopped abruptly.The coir raincoat on his body was long gone, and the heavy rain made him barely open his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to blink.There was a bird lying in the mud puddle in front of her, no, maybe it couldn’t be called a bird anymore, the bright, beautiful, emerald feathers on her body that she was always proud to show off were plucked out one by one. Go, leaving only countless wounds oozing blood.

The beautiful little kingfisher lay alone in her blood-stained water, like a dead mass.

Meng Huaize rushed over staggeringly, kneeling in the muddy water, he reached out tremblingly, trying to hold the little kingfisher up, but he was afraid of hurting her.

"..." He opened his mouth, wanting to call out her name, but his lips only opened and closed in vain, and no sound came out. After a long time, he hoarsely squeezed out two words without intonation, "Cui... Cui..."

"Cui Cui," he seemed to have just learned to speak, "Cui Cui, Cui Cui..."

His voice became louder and more urgent, until finally, it turned into a bitter cry.In the past few years, no matter how hard it was, he never shed a tear, but on such a dark rainy night, amidst lightning and thunder, he knelt in the bloody water, holding the silent little kingfisher , Weeping bitterly, it seems that all the despair and helplessness in these years broke out in this rainy night.

He had never really hated anything, but that was when he felt hatred for the first time.He hated the bandit soldiers who killed countless people in the mansion ahead, hated the nobles in the capital who fought for power and profit and regarded people's lives like nothing, and also hated himself who was useless.

When he returned to Chuanji Mountain and handed over Cui Cui, whose life or death was uncertain, to Mu Qing, the young Cui's eyes were red, he carefully hugged Cui Cui, turned around and left without saying a word, Meng Huaize's eyes were also red, subconsciously followed behind.

Mu Qing stopped in her tracks, and suddenly called him: "Doctor Meng."

Meng Huaize responded in a low voice, his voice was completely hoarse, and even the sound of this simple word smelled like blood.

"I often tell her to stay away from people, but she always doesn't listen to me, saying how wonderful Dr. Meng is." Mu Qing didn't turn her head back, "But Dr. Meng, not everyone is as good as you .”

Meng Huaize stood there in a daze, watching Mu Qing walk away with Cuicui in his arms, a light blue light flashed, and when he looked again, there was no trace in front of him.

After that, Meng Huaize never saw Mu Qing and Cui Cui again.

He had walked the mountain road for many days, and once again went to the deepest part of Chuanji Mountain, by the big lake where Mu Qing grew up.However, no matter what he said, there was no movement in the tree. Meng Huaize sat under the tree for a whole day, but in the end he didn't hear a single call from the little kingfisher.

The night wind was blowing slowly through the window, a bird landed on the window sill, maybe Meng Huaize was too quiet, the bird was not afraid of him at all, it hopped playfully on the window sill, combed its feathers, and chirped with.

Looking at it, Meng Huaize couldn't help stretching out his hand forward.

With a "flutter", the little bird was frightened, spread its wings and flew away, blending into the night without a trace.

Meng Huaize's hand was hanging empty, for a long time, he smiled and sighed, and took his hand back.

He was really confused, how could there be such a little kingfisher that would land on his hand affectionately when he stretched out his hand?
