Once upon a time there was a demon pass

One picture after another flashed in Yu Sheng's mind.

A middle-aged man held a rope and approached him step by step with a smirk.

The old man with a kind face who took care of him for two days sold himself for a good price when he turned around.

A whole street of dead bodies.

He stood in a pool of blood, gasping for breath.

And standing back to back with him was another equally thin figure.

……

Seeing Yu Sheng's confused expression, Liu Qingfeng suddenly felt distressed for some reason.

He didn't know what kind of experience could create such a person as Yu Sheng.

He also didn't know what a cruel father he was, who could leave his child in Sin City for many years and ignore it.

"Perhaps you are right."

"This world has never protected you, why should I ask you to protect this world?"

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Liu Qingfeng's mouth, and he raised his head subconsciously, wanting to touch Yu Sheng's head.

But Yu Sheng turned his body sideways like an instinctive reaction, and hid.

Liu Qingfeng even saw that there was a blade between Yu Sheng's fingers.

It's just that at some point, the original iron blade has now changed its material.

It seems to be thin, tough, and sharp from the bones of a monster.

For a moment, Liu Qingfeng felt indescribably complicated.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Yu Sheng is vicious and selfish.

But at this moment, in the eyes of a teacher, Yu Sheng...is just a child.

The frightened child.

Everything he did was to try to survive in this world, like that stubborn weed in a burnt prairie.

Even if the wind blows and the hail falls, as long as the roots are still there, they will continue to grow.

Originally, Liu Qingfeng thought about many, many words, but in the end he swallowed them abruptly.

He suddenly got bored with the profession of teacher.

Forcing such a child to be kind, to work hard, and in the end, he was forced to stand in the gate of Zhenyao and die for some reason...

Just like all the... people in Sin City who have ever treated him this way.

"Let's talk about something else."

"Do you have friends?"

Liu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, took out a pack of cigarettes, pulled out one, and picked out one of the several lighters in his pocket to light it up.

A gleam of light seemed to flash across Yu Sheng's calm eyes, and he nodded seriously: "Yes!"

When he said this, there was even a tiny smile on the corner of his mouth.

Liu Qingfeng was stunned, letting the ashes fall.

"Where is your friend...?"

Liu Qingfeng asked.

Yu Sheng's eyes regained his composure: "She's in Sin City, but she should be out soon!"

"There are still 307 days!"

The next person who is likely to get a place.

Liu Qingfeng nodded: "If your friend was hunted down, what would you do?"

"Kill them." Yu Sheng said naturally.

Liu Qingfeng continued to guide: "Then what if the one who killed him...is everyone in this world?"

"Then kill everyone in the world."

Yu Sheng hardly hesitated, and said again.

Liu Qingfeng nodded: "Yes, then kill the whole world..."

"So, he's actually doing the same thing as you."

"It's just that what you guard is a friend."

"And he guards the people of the world."

Liu Qingfeng once again set his eyes on the middle-aged man who was still busy across the street.

It seems to have noticed something.

The middle-aged man raised his head, saw Liu Qingfeng and waved his hand, showing a smiling face.

The smiling face is simple and honest, simple.

Yu Sheng nodded thoughtfully, as if muttering to himself: "Is this... called guardianship?"

"Well, it's just that they are for it, not friendship."

"It's the righteousness of the human race, which is passed on from generation to generation."

Liu Qingfeng stubbed out the cigarette butt.

Yu Sheng did not continue to speak, but fell into silence again.

The atmosphere became cold again.

Liu Qingfeng seemed to suddenly remember something, looked at Yu Sheng curiously and asked, "If your friend wanted to kill you one day, what would you do?"

...

"I will kill her."

"She is very powerful. She really has a chance to kill me."

"But... she probably won't."

Yu Sheng said naturally.

Liu Qingfeng was stunned again: "Why not..."

"Maybe... it's intuition."

"My gut tells me she won't kill me."

"Well, definitely not."

Yu Sheng nodded as if wanting to prove what he said.

It was as if at this moment, he returned to that rainy night again.

In a dilapidated brick and tile house, the two huddled in the corner, watching the middle-aged man with a ferocious face walk... step by step.

at last...

Two children who were only a few years old, their faces and clothes were covered with blood, looked at the middle-aged corpse dumbly.

"go!"

"Take you to another place!"

"I'll help you ask for leave from the school and live in another place for a few days."

Liu Qingfeng didn't say anything more, but got up and patted the dust on his buttocks, and said.

Yu Sheng nodded slightly.

I didn't even ask where I was going the whole time...why?

He just followed behind Liu Qingfeng calmly.

……

station.

After buying two tickets, Liu Qingfeng left the city with Yu Sheng.

Away from the crowd, away from the dust and smoke.

until the car stopped slowly.

This is the maximum distance in the safe zone, and there will be risks of uncertainty on the road ahead.

get off.

Continue to go further afield.

It was dusk, under the setting sun, in the field, the shadows of Liu Qingfeng and Yu Sheng were stretched very long.

It's like a beautiful picture scroll.

Finally, a village appeared in the distance.

Faint smoke.

Liu Qingfeng just walked in.

In the village, there are some youths who are only in their twenties, with a little immature youth on their faces.

There is a middle-aged man with a strong body and a stern face.

There is also an old man who is old and dying.

And they all have one thing in common.

disabled.

One broke a hand.

Some lost their legs and had to sit in wheelchairs.

There are those who lost their eyes and walked on crutches.

All kinds.

It's just that the village doesn't look gloomy, but rather warm.

Everyone teased and laughed at each other, and occasionally said a few nasty words, which caused everyone to laugh and scold.

Seeing Liu Qingfeng's figure, everyone froze for a moment.

One of the middle-aged men on crutches smiled and shouted: "You just lost a finger, why do you keep running to our veterans' barracks, what's the matter, poor people want to take advantage of the disability subsidy?"

Liu Qingfeng smiled: "Take the students out for a walk."

"student?"

Liu Qingfeng's words attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked at Yu Sheng who was not far away.

"Tsk tsk, this is treating the old barracks as a zoo."

"Why, are we monkeys?"

"It's okay, hurry up, what's so interesting about this broken place."

Several people laughed and cursed.

Liu Qingfeng didn't care too much: "I came all the way from thousands of miles away, and I will stay for two days. Who hasn't had dinner yet, let's spend some time."

It seems that he is very familiar with these people.
