One thought is eternal

That Year

With this push, Bai Xiaochun felt as if he was suddenly awakened from a deep sleep, and as he opened his eyes, his soul seemed to have lost all the memories that should have existed, and he even forgot who he was. The only feeling is the cold

The sky was gray, and white snowflakes fell from the sky like goose feathers, not only covering the world in front of me and making it blurry, but also covering the earth, even the mountains in the distance became white.

Not to mention the withered forest where Bai Xiaochun is at the moment, many of the trees here have been crushed under the accumulation of snowflakes, as for those that are still firm, they seem to have become the few withered forests in this white world. Black accents.

“Xiaochen, don’t sleep, wake up!” Bai Xiaochun’s eyes were blank, he felt as if he had a dream, a person who clearly remembered everything in the dream, but after waking up, A vague dream that I can’t remember anything.

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t remember it, as if the weather was too cold, not only froze his body, but also sealed his memory.

Only after the body was pushed several times in a row, the little face that was frozen pale appeared in front of him with anxious eyes.

It was a boy who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, very thin, his body seemed to have injuries, and there was a lot of dry blood on his clothes. His body was also very weak, but his eyes were enough to make everyone, the first Once you see it, you will never forget it.

Those were a pair of star-like eyes, and in the depths of those eyes, there was a trace of stubbornness and a ruthlessness that didn’t match his age, but when he looked at Bai Xiaochun, the ruthlessness in the boy’s eyes disappeared, replaced by , it is affection and warmth.

“Brother” Bai Xiaochun opened his lips and made a weak voice. The owner of this little face is the only person he can remember in his memory at the moment. He clearly remembers that the other party is his elder brother, the brother of the same father and mother.

After saying these words, a sense of exhaustion flooded his body again, as if the cold wind around him made Bai Xiaochun unable to bear it, and the wilderness in this cold wind also made Bai Xiaochun feel indescribably bleak.

It’s winter, and snowflakes are falling, but besides the snowflakes, there are actually a lot of flying insects in the sky. If you look closely, they are actually white locusts.

They whizzed past in the wind and snow, and it seemed that it was their existence that caused this land to be in a famine year. In the distance, some refugees shrank their bodies, each of them was as thin as sticks, staring blankly, like a living dead

And even though they were so cold, none of them thought of a way to start a fire, maybe it wasn’t because they didn’t want to, but because they didn’t dare. Finally, with a tremor in his heart, he vaguely understood that the special physique of these locusts would not be able to kill them even in the cold winter, and once a fire was lit, it would attract these locusts immediately. In winter, they may be their food.

These thoughts appeared in Bai Xiaochun’s mind, as if thinking about too many things at once, Bai Xiaochun’s body gradually became weaker, he raised his hand with difficulty, looked at his arm like a seven or eight-year-old child, Bai Xiaochun’s eyes, slowly It’s so slow that I don’t have the strength to continue to open

Seeing Bai Xiaochun wake up, the young man seemed relieved, but soon, he seemed to notice Bai Xiaochun’s weakness and eyelids that seemed to be unable to support, the young man immediately became anxious, and pushed Bai Xiaochun a few more times, seeing that his younger brother seemed to insist He couldn’t stop, the young man’s heart was stabbing, he panted anxiously, he knew that his brother was hungry here, and the only thing that could give him the strength to live at this moment was food.

“Xiaochen, hold on a little longer. My brother will help you find food. You wait for me, and I’ll be back in a while.” The thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was obviously anxious at the moment, with a look of determination in his eyes, and when he turned around, his expression also appeared. There was a hint of ferocity, like a lone wolf, and rushed straight to the distant jungle.

His thin body seemed to explode with panic at this moment following Bai Xiaochun’s crisis.The tenacity of a person, in this cold winter, regardless of his own injury and weakness, running fast gradually disappeared in Bai Xiaochun’s eyes.

“Brother” Bai Xiaochun murmured, but the voice didn’t come out. He knew that his brother was going to help him find food. At this moment, his past memories came to mind. He vaguely remembered that ever since the white locusts appeared in the sky, In years of famine, plague spread again. Most people in the village starved to death, died of illness, including their parents.

If it wasn’t for his brother’s strength, he led the frail and sick him all the way out, I’m afraid he would die too. It was his brother who took care of him all the way, and even competed with those adults for food, from being beaten at the beginning until later There was a fierce look in the elder brother’s eyes, after repeated viciousness, even adults were afraid of his elder brother.

And every time the food, my brother will leave most of it for him. Even if my brother swallows hungry, he will pretend not to be hungry. What he often says is,

“I’m your elder brother.” That’s how he was able to live until now. In fact, in Bai Xiaochun’s memory at this moment, he is called Zhou Chen and his elder brother is Zhou Fan. In this troubled world, it must be much better than it is now

But even with his elder brother taking care of him, the frail and sickly man still couldn’t hold on when he got here.

“Without me, my brother will definitely be able to live better.” Bai Xiaochun murmured in his heart, and finally closed his eyes. As the snowflakes fell, the fire of his life gradually dimmed, and at the moment when it was about to go out, suddenly, The wind and snow in the sky suddenly paused, and then it was swept away by a strong force, and all of them spread out. Even the white locusts in the wind and snow all avoided, revealing an ugly face from the sky, walking slowly. old man.

The moment they saw the old man, all the refugees on the ground knelt down tremblingly, wanting to ask for help, but the moment they spoke, a large number of locusts crawled out of their mouths

It seemed that they didn’t even have the strength to scream. In that pain, these refugees could only wait for death.

Wearing a Taoist robe, the old man walked silently across the sky, looking at the refugees on the ground who had been parasitized by locusts for a long time, there was pity and helplessness in his eyes, and with a soft sigh, the old man raised his right hand and waved. The struggling refugees all seemed to be relieved, and slowly closed their eyes.

After doing this, the old man was even more depressed, and was about to leave, but after his eyes swept over Bai Xiaochun, he suddenly let out a light gasp, stopped abruptly, and took a few careful glances, his eyes revealed a touch of disbelief.

The “Tao Body” old man breathed slightly short of breath, and instantly landed beside Bai Xiaochun. With a wave of his right hand, a soft light immediately merged into Bai Xiaochun’s body, making his life’s fire that was about to be extinguished gradually calm down at this moment.

Under the careful inspection of the old man, the surprise in his eyes became more and more obvious, and finally he looked up to the sky and smiled, hugged the comatose Bai Xiaochun, and directly flew away

After the old man left for a stick of incense, in the distance from the forest, Zhou Fan’s thin figure staggered back step by step. Behind him on the snow surface, besides the footprints, there were strands of dripping water. Shocking blood fell.

His leg was injured, and there were several wounds on his face at the moment, and there was also blood overflowing from his abdomen at the moment. The whole person looked very embarrassed, but his eyes were full of excitement and excitement. In his arms, there was a piece of steamed bun, a steamed bun with blood on it, which he snatched from others with all his might.

“Xiaochen, I found something to eat.” The young man walked a few steps quickly, but as soon as the voice came out, his expression changed. It was really corpses all over the floor, which made his breathing stop suddenly, and his eyes showed anxiety. Then he ran to the place where Bai Xiaochun was before. When he got there, he didn’t see anything except the corpses that had been mostly bitten by locusts, leaving only the wreckage. the catch.

“Little Dust”

The “Xiaochen” boy’s voice was shrill, he lost his only relative, as if he had lost everything, his body trembled, he kept searching, and finally knelt at the place where his younger brother disappeared, looking at the bloody steamed bun in his hand, his tears fell.

“Xiaochen”, who was in extreme sadness, didn’t notice that at this moment, along with the smell of his blood, a group of white locusts roared from the sky, instantly submerging his body.
