The thin boy pulled the things behind him with all his strength and walked step by step to Meng Fei and the others.

Then, there was no emotion on the face that had lost any expression because of being frozen for too long. At this time, he suddenly said to several people: "Please, save my brother!"

His figure moved away, and Meng Fei and Gu Liu saw what he was dragging behind him.

There were a lot of tattered clothes on a frozen wooden board, and on the tattered clothes was a skinny boy who was even thinner than the thin boy.

The boy lying on the tattered clothes had no life on his face, but he was holding a thick cloth bag tightly in his hand, and one of his feet was cut off, and the blood that should have oozed out was frozen.

In this situation, Gu Liu hurried forward, grabbed the boy's arm and felt his pulse.

However, at the moment he grabbed the arm, his eyes were extremely serious, and his eyebrows were even squeezed together. Seeing his expression, Meng Fei held his breath and looked to the other side unconsciously.

Gu Liu swallowed a ball of saliva that was as choking as a stone with difficulty, and he trembled and put down the thin arm like a chopstick.

He lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, your brother has..."

Although he didn't finish his words, everyone understood what it meant, even the thin boy who was only eleven or twelve years old understood everything.

His expression still didn't change, because his face had long lost the ability to make expressions under the ruthless ravages of the cold wind for countless days and nights, but the tears that slipped from the corners of his eyes would not lie.

And his brother didn't seem to be much older than him, and he was also a very young boy, but he had become a cold corpse.

Seeing this scene, Meng Fei and Gu Liu were all moved.

"Boy, what's your name? Do you have any other relatives?"

Meng Fei squatted down, comforting him and asking him.

After choking for a while, he finally replied to Meng Fei: "My name is Xu Zhengyi, and my brother's name is Xu Zhengxin, who is my only relative."

"..."

Such an answer made Meng Fei silent. A twelve-year-old boy witnessed the departure of the last relative in the world. Such a thing was too dumbfounding, and he didn't know what to do.

"Zhengyi Zhengxin, what a good name."

Meng Fei didn't know what to say, so he could only stroke his head gently.

And Gu Liu on the side tried his best to finally get the thick cloth bag from Xu Zhengxin's body.

So he handed the thing to Xu Zhengyi.

Xu Zhengyi, who was sobbing, seemed to be excited when he saw the cloth bag. He took it and opened it.

The moment the cloth bag was opened, there was a burst of hot air mixed with the fragrance of buns.

They cast their eyes and saw that there were indeed several steaming buns inside.

Then, Xu Zhengyi rushed to his brother's body like a madman, and he was seen trying to pry open the mouth of the body, but under the stimulation of the cold, the body had already become very solid, and it was a bit difficult for him to open it with his strength.

So the two of them came forward to help, Gu Liu pulled Xu Zhengyi away, and Meng Fei came forward to pull the mouth of the body.

After the mouth of the body was opened by Meng Fei, Meng Fei and Gu Liu were silent again.

The mouth was full of sores after frostbite, and the whole mouth was in a mess at this time.

This shows that he had eaten a lot of ice cubes before he died.

"It's all because of me! It's all because of me! I killed my brother! I really deserve to die!"

Xu Zhengyi punched the frozen ground with his fists, without any worries, and even forgot that he was weak. This action would only put him in danger.

But he didn't think about that. His hatred for himself had reached its extreme at this time. He even rushed directly to Gu Liu, took his sword in his hand, and put it on his neck without hesitation.

Fortunately, Meng Fei was right next to him. Seeing this, he couldn't care about anything else, so he had to use two fingers to break the sword into several pieces and shatter it on the ground.

"Don't worry." Meng Fei said to Gu Liu.

Gu Liu shook his head, "It's okay."

Xu Zhengyi, who failed to commit suicide, collapsed directly to the ground. Except for the hand that tightly grasped the cloth bag, the rest fell there as if he had lost his life.

The sobbing told others that he was still alive, and at the same time he was very sad.

Meng Fei stepped forward and grabbed him with both hands. He said loudly to Xu Zhengyi: "Do you know what you are doing?"

Xu Zhengyi shook his head, with a sparkling in the corner of his eyes. He just thought, if the person holding the corpse was his brother, not him, how good it would be.

"Listen, although I don't know exactly what happened, I am sure that your brother must have sacrificed himself so that you could live. If you are so depressed and even want to die, then you are letting your brother die in vain. Only if you are alive, everything he did will have meaning!"

Meng Fei's words were like an arrow that shot directly into his heart, and Xu Zhengyi's emotions finally began to calm down.

He also changed his mind and said directly: "I will live well and let my brother not sacrifice in vain..."

He hadn't finished speaking yet. Although he had been enlightened and had figured out a lot, it was not so easy to let go of the departure of his loved ones. He was extremely sad and weak, and finally fainted.

In order to keep him from freezing, Gu Liu squatted down and held him in his arms.

Meng Fei was also preparing to clean up Xu Zhengxin's body. At this time, an old man with a woolen beard suddenly appeared in front of them.

He looked at Xu Zhengxin's body on the ground and couldn't help sighing, saying: "It's a pity. Such a young child is so sensible. He really gave everything for his brother."

"You?" Meng Fei looked at the old man who suddenly appeared with a surprised face. He seemed to know something, and as an old man, he could survive here for so long, which surprised them a little.

The old man saw the suspicious eyes from Meng Fei and others, so he took the initiative to explain, and in order to prove his innocence, he lifted up his thick clothes, and inside was a Taoist robe.

It turned out that the old man was a Taoist priest, and he had been here for about a month, so he had a certain understanding of the two brothers.

After all, when he came, Xu Zhengxin was not dead yet, and there were also many important clues in the story of the brothers.

He had been wandering here for some time, because it was close to the entrance of Hanyuezhou, so he wanted to wait and see if there would be people like Taoist priests like him, and then tell them everything he knew.

So Meng Fei observed in secret as soon as he came in, and finally found that they were not ordinary people, but he didn't know whether it was good or bad, so he didn't act rashly. Then he saw the two people's kindness to the two poor kids, and then he confirmed that they were trustworthy people.

So, he chose to show up at this time.

And the reason for his doing this was not other things, but he felt that he seemed to be unable to hold on for much longer.
