One Pillow Huaxu

Chapter 5 Boundary

This silent conversation seemed to be the beginning of something, and Zhang Qiling felt that Wu Xie's attitude seemed to have changed.But this change is very subtle, and Wu Xie does not intend to express this change of attitude too much.

Zhang Qiling quickly shifted the focus back to Wu Xie's recovery from his injury.Wu Xie recovered very quickly. Just as Zhang Qiling thought, he is an extremely tenacious person. As long as some water is given in the desert, he will definitely take his roots deep into it.But while things are going well for now, some other problems have surfaced over time.

A few days later, their supplies ran out.

This is a problem that will arise sooner or later. Zhang Qiling counted the remaining quantity and hesitated for a few seconds.There are buildings abandoned by herdsmen here, indicating that if they go further, they will most likely come to a place where there are people.It's not that he hasn't thought about going nearby to find supplies, but now is a critical moment, and he can't let Wu Xie go alone.

But if the two of them leave together and return to a place where there are people, it means that Wu Xie will be exposed to all kinds of undercurrents again.

Zhang Qiling stood up, walked towards Wu Xie, and called out, "Boss Wu."

Wu Xie was still sitting on the stone at the door, which became his exclusive seat, just like some people habitually take a walk after a meal, he always sits there at a fixed time a day thinking about things, or cutting something with a knife. Small things to pass the time.

Zhang Qiling still didn't stop his behavior, but just folded up some extra clothes and put them on the stone, and counted the time he stayed outside, reminding him a few words as a responsible person.

Recently, Wu Xie's vocal cords have recovered a lot, and he began to hum some tunes from time to time.Although he hadn't fully recovered, the voice he uttered was hoarse and unpleasant, and the tune he hummed wasn't quite in tune, but he didn't care, and most of the time he had a relaxed look.

At this time, when he heard someone calling him, he stopped, looked sideways at Zhang Qiling, raised his chin slightly at him, and motioned for him to speak.After Zhang Qiling briefly explained the situation, he stopped talking.

This is a choice that Wu Xie needs to make, all he can do is wait for Wu Xie's choice.

After Wu Xie heard this, his expression didn't change much, but Zhang Qiling looked at him and quickly understood what his decision was.Wu Xie has been thinking about the follow-up development, and his plan is still progressing slowly under the strong thrust.He has carried out a series of meticulous calculations since a long time ago, and now he is only calculating whether he can face possible emergencies with his current physical condition.

He is thinking about whether some behavioral changes will affect the long-term performance of the plan.

After a while, Wu Xie spoke.But he didn't answer Zhang Qiling's question, he just said with a half-smile:

"Seeing that you are only a few years older than me, you can call Boss Wu more, just call him by name."

His gaze swept across the opponent's face very slowly, and finally met his eyes.

Wu Xie narrowed her eyes slightly: "I like to be more casual. We haven't slept in the same bed these days, but at least we've slept on the same floor."

He paused for a few seconds, finally smiled, looked straight at the human in front of him and said:

"Right, old Zhang."

Wu Xie's voice was still hoarse, he seemed to have bitten the last two words deliberately, with a hint of meaning.But soon he gave up worrying about addressing this matter, and regardless of whether the other party agreed or not, he turned his head and continued to carelessly chop his wood with a knife.

After cutting a few times, Wu Xie stopped, as if remembering something, said "Oh" and said: "Sing a song for you, can you spread the culture of Tibetan compatriots, have you heard of Little Bird? "

Zhang Qiling didn't answer, and sat down next to Wu Xie with some helplessness, and quickly slapped the back of Wu Xie's hand next to him under the cover of his movements, guessing that the other party's current temperature didn't need to go back to the house for the time being.

Wu Xie's thinking is very detached now, and he often speaks illogically.He seems to be used to running at a high speed all the time, turning some seemingly sloppy words and deeds into his own disguise, even if it makes him appear neurotic sometimes.

But Zhang Qiling understood that this was a sign of his excessive rationality, and he quickly got used to Wu Xie's way of speaking.Wu Xie didn't respond to him touching the back of his hand, probably thinking that the other party didn't mean it.He hummed a few words "I'm a little bird", and suddenly stopped without warning, picked up a stone next to him, and threw it towards the distance.

They sat facing the clear stream, and there were a few white birds drinking water on the bank.The flying stones startled them, and the bird fluttered away, and the stone slammed into the stream with a thud.

Wu Xie said: "I have been thinking about whether some impossible things will happen suddenly. Some choices arise only because there is no choice. But now there are new options suddenly."

He turned to face Zhang Qiling: "Do you know the dividing line?"

Zhang Qiling looked at him quietly, did not answer the question immediately, and only after a while said softly: "You choose to cross the dividing line?"

Wu Xie shrugged, and let out a laugh from his nose: "Damn it, don't you save it for the New Year?"

He squinted at Zhang Qiling again, and added: "The big brother you put in confinement, wait for me to pick him up for a good year."

Having said that, he looked up at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, took a deep breath of the cool air, and smiled again, not knowing whether he was talking to the snow-capped mountains or the people next to him:

"It's time to come out, be a good person, don't make mistakes and go in."

After finishing speaking, he stood up and said in a relaxed tone: "I left a lot of things behind, including a time bomb. I don't need to appear on the stage for the time being. If I can, I hope to play a corpse while lying down. Being a living person is too tired. .”

The place where he can perfectly be a "dead man" is theoretically the current environment.The appearance of human tracks represents the increase of uncertain factors.

But sometimes, a noisy environment can hide people's whereabouts better.It's just that this is more complicated than being a corpse, and some trajectories must be predicted.This is not an easy task.

Even the dead have to eat.Wu Xie thought to himself, and then said: "Let's go tomorrow, we don't have much supplies."

He's been around this comfortable border long enough.It's time to cross that dividing line and get back into the crowd.

Zhang Qiling looked at him, and it took a long time before he said "hmm".Wu Xie patted him on the shoulder, intending to end the topic, but paused for a moment, and said again:

"However, if there is a new possibility that can go back, probably many people will go back."

"What about you?"

"Who knows."

Wu Xie's tone was very casual, as if answering a question that had nothing to do with him.He stretched, stood up, and looked up at the sky.It had only been sunny for a while, and now it was cloudy again.

He said: "Unless God won't let me step over it."
