A peach edge

Every winter night in Qingxi City, there are always a few beggars who freeze to death.Even if people are just passing by, they have to avoid the ordinary things here, and at most they just lament a few words.Qian'er never knew this before.

The reason why people are afraid of death is because there are still people and things in the world that they are nostalgic for. Once the heart is ashamed, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Huibai's face was full of tiredness. He looked at the bottomless cliff under his feet. The bottom of the cliff was surrounded by clouds and mist, which was as soft as cotton.He was too tired to hold on any longer.He is not afraid of death, but it is a pity that he will never see that person again in this life.

His eyes, which had not slept well for several days, finally closed, and as soon as he jumped up, he rushed towards the cloud as soft as cotton...

==========================

The sky was dimly bright, and the wind was fierce. It was difficult for the light of the morning sun to shine in through the branches, making it extremely gloomy.Only Xun Bojin and Yuanluo got a good night's sleep, and everyone was listless.Xun Bo stretched a long way, and tightened the big black fur coat for the sleepy Yuanluo.

The atmosphere was dignified, and Xun Bo knew that these big men who traveled all over the country had to walk out step by step in the cold winter and scorching heat, and the money for living was also walked out in this way.

Now some of them have lost their lives at the hands of bandits, some have lost mules more precious than themselves, and lost their customers' goods. They will no longer be able to make a living as horse drivers.Xun Bo could never have imagined the impact this disaster would have on them.A few days ago, Xun Bojin hated them for bullying Yuanluo, but now he can't say he doesn't hate them anymore, but he can't bear it.

The disintegrated and formless caravan, no one spoke, set off sparsely.Without the goods, there is no need to load any more, and there is no need to worry about mules and horses, but it is not faster than usual.

"Are you sure about this direction?" Xun Bojin asked, the two rode on the same horse, and Yuanluo was wrapped in fur and sat in front of him, as if sitting in his arms.

"Not sure." Shi Xiying said, licking the gap between her teeth with the tip of her tongue.

Ever since Shi Xiying had an accident, it seemed that she had become stern.Xun Bo took a look at the fact that the sun could not penetrate the misty clouds no matter what, and the shadows on the ground were inescapable, so he didn't ask any more, because there was no better way now.

There are no strange rocks in the strange stone forest, but there are big trees with intertwined roots, which let Xun Bo see what a century-old tree is.The mountains are steep and densely forested, some of the trees have lost all their leaves, and some are still standing out with yellow and feeble leaves.Looking up at the sky, the black-brown branches are bare pointing to the sky, and occasionally there are a few broken leaves, swaying in the cold wind, making it a little desolate.

A few jackdaws huddled on the branches, startled by a group of people, and coaxed them away with strange sounds, piercing the gray-blue sky.

There were strange noises from time to time, Shi Xiying listened intently for a while, and said: "There must be Gaoyingshan soldiers entrenched here." Gaoyingshan soldiers refer to tigers and wolves.

Xun Bojin felt Yuanluo in his arms tremble violently, and he wrapped his arms around Yuanluo's waist, bringing him closer to him.Everyone became more and more vigilant.The dead have passed away, and the living still have to find a way to live.

After wandering in this forest for half a day, I don't know how long I will go because of the lack of vision.Why do we say "turn"?It was Xun Bo who tried his best to realize that compared with the past, it is always different, the mules and horses are different, the people are different, and the atmosphere is also different.It's just that this road, Xun Bojin always feels the same, as if he has been walking in circles for a long time, and his doubts are getting bigger and bigger. Could it be that Shi Lin is so weird?

At noon, Xun Bojin and Fang Yutang took out dry food and started to eat. The horse drivers thought they had their share, but after waiting for a while, they didn't see Xun Bojin and they gave it to them, so they got anxious: "You guys What does this mean? When you were in the caravan, you ate ours and drank ours, and now you are in trouble, is that what you did to us?!"

Xun Bojin pulled the corners of his mouth and gave a strange smile on purpose: "We are in the caravan, it is because Yutang has saved your caravan's life, now that the debt is settled, the dry food is obviously not enough for so many people, so what if we don't give it to you ?”

"Okay, you're an idiot, I only think of you as a protector, but I don't know that you are also a selfish villain!" The bearded man was also angry, and raised his eyebrows.

"Give it to you, it's not impossible, I don't count, I have to agree with one person." Xun Bo raised his head, smashed his mouth, and tried hard to chew out the aroma of dry sesame seed cakes.

"I don't know what Brother Xun means by that?" Shi Xiying opened his mouth at this moment, seeing that there was something going on, he didn't stop talking.

Xun Bo shook his head inscrutablely, deliberately chewing the biscuits in his mouth with relish.

Shi Xiying looked around at everyone, then turned to Xun Bojin, "Who?"

Xun Bo smiled, turned his head, unscrewed the water bag and gave it to Yuanluo: "Yuanluo, do you want it or not?"

The horse drivers were all startled and furious. It's not like they didn't know how the caravan members had insulted Yuanluo.

Yuanluo was opening her mouth to drink water, when she heard the question, she was startled, almost choked, looked around in confusion, and asked Xun Bojin with her eyes, did you mean me?

Fang Yutang didn't interrupt, just ate dry food by himself, just looking like he was watching the show.

"Yes." Xun Boju nodded affirmatively to Yuanluo.

"Xun Bojin! Don't bully me too much! If I don't eat your junk, how can I still starve to death?" The bearded man threw a leather bag angrily, full of anger.But since entering the strange stone forest, apart from jackdaws, even mountain wolves have not seen a shadow, what do they eat?

Yuanluo was shocked by his thunderous voice.

Xun Bojin patted him and said, "Don't worry about him. If you have me, he won't dare to touch you. You just say whether you will give them or not? Think carefully, we don't have much food." This is true. She wants Yuanluo to make up her own mind.

Everyone stared at Yuanluo, and Yuanluo swept across their faces one by one. The faces they hated the most before, but now they might starve to death in the wilderness if they just said a word.

Yuanluo bit her lower lip, then turned her head to look at Xun Bojin, who looked at herself trustingly.

Although these people are hateful, they also have wives and children, old mothers and old fathers in their families, and they rely on them to support the family alone, unlike themselves who are alone and rarely worry about it.It is absolutely impossible for me to let myself watch them starve to death. What they did will be punished one day. The suffering of the caravan this time is the greatest punishment.

"Give it to them." All thoughts flashed in an instant.Yuanluo didn't have any more expressions, just said lightly.

Everyone was shocked, and the entire caravan was silent.They had already prepared Yuanluo's cold and hateful veto, but they didn't expect such an answer.Several people were already blushing with shame.

Shi Xiying stared at Yuanluo closely, bared her yellow teeth, and smiled strangely.

Xun Bo distributed the dry rations to the horse drivers, his beard slapped the tree trunk, his face turned blue and white, and finally he said: "It was my beard that was wrong before, but I know that everything I say now is hypocritical, Yuanluo has a baby heart. Good, the bearded man always remembers."

Yuanluo pursed her lips, without raising her eyelids.The atmosphere was a little condensed, and no one spoke anymore.

This is the result that Xun Bojin wanted. These horse drivers, before just now, did not know how to truly respect Yuanluo, and they are not vicious people. Gratitude and shame will always be there, and that's enough.

The withered dry branches in the forest intertwine like the terrifying withered hands of a centenarian, covering the only small and pitiful sky above. I don’t know if the trees in the forest are too dense. , the weather has been gloomy and gloomy. It should be noon when the sun is strongest, but now it is still as chaotic as it is about to evening.

After eating some dry food at noon, the dry food bag that Xun Bo exhausted was almost empty.If I walked again in the afternoon, I couldn't see the end of the forest, and I didn't have enough confidence. After walking like this for a day, I still ate some tasteless dry food at night, which was already exhausted.

Everyone went to grab some game to eat, but they didn't even see a pheasant. In the end, they didn't know who picked up a half-sized dead rabbit on the ground. Trapped in this wild forest, there is no tomorrow, no matter whether the rabbit died of illness or freezing, he cleaned it up and roasted it on the fire. There was no salt or food, and he chewed and ate it neither sweet nor salty. All the men are not enough to fit between the teeth.

This wild rabbit meat is hard to bite.Right now, Xun Bo has all his spare time to think about these far-fetched issues.

Yuanluo held half a rabbit leg in her hand, and chewed it carefully in small bites, Xun Bo only tore a few mouthfuls, and Yuanluo took it and ate it slowly.

"I thought of one thing." Yuanluo shrank her body, her lips were greasy.

Xun Bojin raised his hand to wipe his mouth: "Oh? What's the matter?"

"I think, I still don't want the little barn swallow." Yuanluo frowned and said seriously.After finishing speaking, he didn't hear Xun Bo's answer for a long time, and turned to look at him.

I saw Xun Bojin staring at Yuanluo with a doting smile on his face. He saw Yuanluo holding the rabbit's legs in both hands, with a serious expression on his face. He couldn't help feeling funny, and wanted to kiss those lips that were sticky with rabbit oil. , or held back: "You've been thinking about it for a long time, but you just want this? Why don't you want it all of a sudden?"

Yuanluo shook her head, but said nothing.After these few days, he has figured it out. From now on, it is good to accompany Xun Bojin quietly, no matter whether he is new to him for a while, or has a wife and children, just stay with him silently.He also didn't ask Xun Bo to accompany him to feed the swallows. He knew that those were just coaxing him at the time. Now that he refuses, he won't think about it. When the time comes, he really won't accompany him to catch swallows. Bugs, I can also think about it, but I refused first.

Facing the flames, Yuanluo chewed the rabbit meat with her agitated cheeks, her mind was full of random thoughts, just like Xun Bojin, her thoughts were not at all marginal.He is a person who really doesn't care about the way out of the strange stone forest. What's wrong with being stuck here?Xun Bo will always be by his side.
