The Lord who use immortals as food

Xu Chuo sat very close, and Pei Ye carefully surrounded the light and heat of the flames. His head dried up and carbonized in the fire, as if it had completed its life very quickly.

Pei Ye stood silently behind him, watching the remaining snow around him turn into water stains during the cooking process.

"Thank you, Pei Ye." Xu Chuo suddenly said.

"It's nothing." Pei Ye was slightly startled, "I originally wanted to kill him."

"That's not it." Xu Chuo said, "I mean, thank you for helping me fulfill my wish with Sister Si Si... It's been ten years."

"..."

"You should also sit down." Xu Chuo turned back and patted the ground beside him with a smile, "I can give you this stone temporarily."

Pei Ye smiled: "So stingy."

"Then don't sit down, sit on the ground."

Pei Ye didn't answer.

He sat down next to the woman. He hadn't smelled the scent of the woods and land so peacefully for a long time. When he looked up, the trees were much higher than them. Sitting together like two rabbits cuddling together.

"At that time, Sister Si Si and I liked to pretend to be two rabbits living in the forest." Xu Chuo said, the firelight shining on her cheeks and eyes, "Because if we pretended to be drinking together, we would have fewer playmates. , it’s not interesting to do it with puppets, but it’s just right to play the role of a bunny.”

"...What's the fun in pretending to be a rabbit?"

"You can dig a hole, pick up fruits for winter food, make a nest out of leaves, and pick up branches to build a small bed and table. Then if there is any movement in the forest, it means that a wolf is coming, so the two of you can squeeze in and hide in the alcove..."

'That's no fun. ’ Pei Ye thought.

"Actually, I don't like this very much. It's because Sister Si Si likes to play, she likes to pretend to be a rabbit." Xu Chuo hugged his knees, "Actually, what I like best is pretending to be a family wine, but every time I muster up the courage to play with Si Si Sister Si was rejected by her, but I was very happy to play with her. At that time, we came home every night and spent most of the time taking care of this small place. "

"What do you like most about playing house?"

"Yes, father, mother and baby are a happy family." Xu Chuo tilted his head and looked at him, "Why are you laughing? Didn't you play when you were a child?"

"I'm not playing."

"No one will play with you."

Pei Ye looked at her: "You two are the ones who have no one to play with. If I had known you at that time, I would have taken you to have fun."

What Xu Chuo was thinking was: "If I had you, I could pretend to be a family winemaker."

"I'll be the father."

Xu Chuo said: "I am a mother."

Pei Ye's face heated up.

Xu Chuo continued to clasp his fingers and said, "Sister Si Si will be the father."

Then she looked at the boy with a smile: "You forgot again, you were only three or four years old at the time, and you were still wearing diapers. You were a baby."

"..."

Pei Ye was quite speechless, and Xu Chuo was overjoyed beside him.

"...However," Xu Chuo suppressed his smile and looked at the gradually weakening flames, "That happened when Sisi was about ten years old. Later, when Sisi was twelve years old, we still came here often, but she felt that pretending to be a bunny was too much. It’s embarrassing, we’re just chatting here.”

"chat?"

"Yes, because from that time, Sister Si Si began to handle cases with Xiang Xu." Xu Chuo recalled, "In the past, it was actually homework. We came to Leyouyuan to play in the evening, and we spent the day reading and reciting Shi... But starting from that year, Sister Si Si always talked with me about government affairs and her and her father’s ideals.”

"Xu Xiang said that he was studying and traveling at the same time, so he always took us with him when he met many poor scholars. Xu Xiang was an elder with a very solid heart and a gentle appearance. He did not hesitate to talk to us because we were young. He always told us many truths. Heavy question."

"After we came back, we couldn't stop talking. Sitting under the mountain wall here, or lying together at night, it was always the topic we analyzed and thought about the most." Xu Chuo smiled, "It's childish to think about it now, but At that time, we studied the history since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, speculated on Qilin's will, and analyzed the fate of the five surnames in a serious manner. We sincerely believed and expected that one day we would be able to do as the prime minister said, and make everyone in the court handsome and talented. "

"That period was the happiest time I lived, and it was also the second time in my life that I had the desire to do something." Xu Chuo said softly, "I remember it very clearly, that night it was here, the two of us. Sitting together, Sister Si Si told me that the five surnames will never rule the government forever. She will also become an official in two years. As long as we successfully implement the Two Heaven Theory, we will definitely see wise people making progress and political clarity. On that day... the people of the Tang Dynasty will not always be under the oppression of the five surnames. "

"It's just that you found out later that three years later, Prime Minister Xu fell in court." Xu Chuo was quiet for a while, "Now I have finally fulfilled our ideal, but I am the only one left."

"..."

The bottle was empty, but Pei Ye suddenly remembered that night in November, the night drinking upstairs after he killed Qiu Tianyu, and he subconsciously asked: "What is November 1st?" day?"

"November 1st... is Sister Si Si's birthday." Xu Chuo replied, subconsciously startled, and turned his head to look at the young man, who was also looking at her.

"...You still remember." Xu Chuo thought about it and chuckled, "I was really happy that you killed Qiu Tianyu that night."

"Is it because you have taken a step forward in your wishes?"

"No, it's just because 'you' killed Qiu Tianyu." Xu Chuo said.

"..."

"Don't you think that was our first acquaintance?" Xu Chuo looked at him, "That day you came to me and said, 'I'm going to kill Qiu Tianyu', I said 'OK', five days later you killed him, and came to me with injuries to drink."

"... I was looking for you to pay for the medicine."

"..."

"..."

Xu Chuo laughed angrily: "You are really speechless."

Pei Ye was puzzled, just like the sincerity of the woman to him during the drinking that night, which made him frown and think the next morning. He didn't know where her "sense of ritual" came from at this time - he met her on the day he was released from prison. Does he have to have a "real first acquaintance" moment with every friend?

Glancing at her and seeing that she didn't speak, and her cheek didn't show that she was angry, Pei Ye tried to talk: "Well, your wish has been fulfilled, what are you going to do next?"

"It's not my wish, it's Sister Si's wish." The woman obviously didn't have any small emotions, and she was thinking about other things at this time.

"Ah?"

"I said, this was Sister Si's wish when she was fifteen." Xu Chuo said, "At that time, I followed her and believed with her. But she stopped at that age, and I didn't."

"Then, what is your wish?" Pei Ye was slightly stunned, "What do you want to do?"

In fact, he asked when they first met. She said she wanted to kill the King of Yan, but although that was the cornerstone of cooperation, it was not necessarily a heart-to-heart talk between friends.

Xu Chuo looked up at the sky: "Of course I have my own wishes... In fact, I am more naive than Sister Si."

But when she said this, her face was not childish, but like a sword just taken out of ice water, or looking at the distant starry sky.

"What is it?"

Xu Chuo glanced at him and smiled casually: "If I tell you, you will laugh at me again, so I won't tell you anymore."

"Where did I laugh at you?"

"You laugh at playing house games, and you still quibble."

"Is your ideal more childish than playing house games?!"

Xu Chuo stopped talking. The fire in front of him had burned out. The fire was very thorough. The head had collapsed on the ground, and the bones were completely invisible, like a pile of charcoal.

The woman here really seemed very relaxed and straightforward. She felt a little tired from sitting, so she supported herself with her hands on the ground, as if she was really the little girl more than ten years ago.

Since she refused to say, Pei Ye did not ask any more questions. The morning sun rose from the woods, sprinkled a layer of beautiful gold powder on the snow, and gradually spread to the two of them. Pei Ye seemed to have turned back to his childhood. For children, a secret and quiet place always brings a sense of security that makes people excited, which can almost be equated with "carefree".

Pei Ye crossed her legs and found a new topic: "You just said that was the second time you wanted to do something, what about the first time?"

"The first time was to write "Swing Rope." Xu Chuo said, "I have told you many times."

"Actually, I never knew why you wanted to write this." Pei Ye thought, "What does this story have to do with you?"

"... This was when I was younger, before I came to the Xiangfu." Xu Chuo looked up at the sky and said softly, "Actually, I am also an orphan."

"..."

Pei Ye actually probably realized that because the woman and Sisi were obviously not biological sisters, she should have been adopted by Xu Xiang later.

"I don't know if you had a lonely and helpless childhood, but you have Yue Muzhou by your side, so it's probably better." This topic seemed to make the woman more silent than 'Sister Si Si', probably because she had buried it in her heart for a longer time, but now she said seriously, "Since I learned to walk, I haven't received any kindness from the people around me. Everything in my memory is dark and thorny... The only light is that at that time, there was always a woman behind me to accompany me."

The correct version is reading! 6=9+Shu_bar first releases this novel.

"..."

"She is very beautiful and has the most gentle smile. When there is no one around, she will quietly appear and take me to catch dragonflies, make wreaths, pick fruits... But what I like most and laugh the most is to swing high." Xu Chuo said softly, "Because every time I fly to the highest point, I can see a moment outside the wall, see thousands of overlapping eaves, as endless as the tide, which makes me know that this world is so huge."

"But then I couldn't find her anymore."

"Can't find it?"

"Yeah." Xu Chuo said, "No I don't know when it started, maybe it was just after I passed the "ignorance". If a child is too young, there is no idea of ​​"separation" in his mind. I only know that I have never seen her again, and I can't find her shadow. Everything is like a dream. "

"..."

"Swing Rope" is the story of her that I want to find and write - it may sound a bit silly, don't tell others. "

"I don't..." Pei Ye just uttered two words, and there was some disturbance at the edge of the forest, chaotic and crisp laughter and footsteps on the snow. He looked over there.

Xu Chuo's hearing was more ordinary, and it took a while before he heard that two groups of people met each other - they were three children in their teens.

Some of them had high buns, some had small buns, and their bodies were wrapped in thick cotton clothes. They were covered with snow. At this time, they stared at the two adults sitting here with wide eyes.

Before Pei Ye said anything, Xu Chuo had already tilted his head and stared, quite surprised that his territory was violated: "Who asked you to come here?"

The two little girls seemed a little stunned, one holding the other's hand, but the stronger boy in the lead was not afraid of strangers, and raised his head and said: "We found this place first, you are the one who is trying to seize our territory."

Xu Chuo's eyes widened: "What do you mean you found it first? I found it ten years ago."

"I found it twenty years ago."

"How old are you?"

"How old are you?" the boy challenged.

Pei Ye tried to hold back his laughter and said seriously: "She is thirty-nine this year, and she found this place thirty years ago. I can testify."

Xu Chuo turned his head and looked at him coldly.

"Is thirty-nine a big deal?" the boy said unconvincedly, "My mother is still forty-one."

The little girl behind him whispered, "Brother and sister, we found it two years ago, and we have evidence."

The boy also remembered at this time and joined in, "Yes! We have evidence!"

The three of them struggled in the snow for a long time, and finally chose a big pine tree, brushed the bark and pointed to the two people: "Look, our evidence."

Xu Chuo glanced at it sideways and couldn't move. Pei Ye went to take a look. It was indeed "Guoguo, Yiyi, Xiao Xiao's home". The handwriting of the three names was not the same, obviously signed by each.

Pei Ye looked at it for a while, frowned and said, "Who is this 'Xiao Xiao'?"

The boy said, "It's me."

Pei Ye corrected, "The character 'Xiao' has a grass radical on top, not a Baogai'er radical. Have you learned the characters well?"

Xiao Xiao raised his head, fearless: "I practice swordsmanship, what characters do I need to learn?"

He put his hands on his waist and looked up at Pei Ye, who lowered his head and looked at him silently.

There was really a small wooden sword on his back.

Xu Chuo tilted his head and covered his mouth, and said with a serious expression: "I also have evidence."

The boy turned his head immediately: "What evidence do you have?"

Xu Chuo pointed to the line of words buried by snow on the mountain wall: "See, we carved it more than ten years ago."

The three children walked up and took a look, and were really stunned. A girl said: "...Brother Xiaoxiao, she still has the year and month."

The boy turned back and whispered: "Yiyi, when was the fourteen years locked?"

The little girl whispered: "It seems to be... thirteen... fourteen years ago."

"..."The boy was depressed for a while, and waved his hand and said, "Since you found it first, I'll give it back to you, Guoguo, Yiyi, let's go!"

Xu Chuo seemed to have turned back into an adult at this time: "Hey, we don't come here on weekdays, you can still play here."

Xiao Xiao raised his head proudly: "No, we want to find a place that belongs only to us!"

The three children fluttered and stepped on the snow and went away again.

Xu Chuo was stunned for a moment, watching the three small figures disappear in the distance

Pei Ye laughed beside him: "It seems that I have to carve it more conspicuous next time."

Xu Chuo was silent for a moment, brushed off the snow dust on his clothes, and smiled: "Actually, I was cheating. If a person grows up, the property he had when he was a child is actually not counted. People who have grown up are not qualified to occupy the treasures of children."

"..." This sentence seemed too "literate", Pei Ye didn't know how to respond for a while, but he remembered a similar sentence at this time, and felt that it was not embarrassing, so he said in a light voice, "If life is a circle, then children and the elderly should overlap."

Xu Chuo looked at him strangely, and Pei Ye's face was tense.

"... Let's go." Xu Chuo lowered his head and smiled, "It's almost time."

Pei Ye turned and walked out of the forest.

Xu Chuo hurriedly pulled his sleeve from behind, holding her heater and pointing: "Take the footprints you left when you came, don't go crooked."
