Shimmer Forest

Fang Wuyi accepted his attack with a blank face, and when he raised his head again, there was nothing but coldness in his eyes.

The murderous aura of the two filled the air, their respective strengths seemed to be out of control, and their minds were full of thoughts of wanting to kill each other.Entire villages were razed to the ground in the fighting.But Su Jin could only watch quietly on the spot, nothing could stop her.

Perhaps it was because Fang Wuyi's thoughts were too strong, but Hu Yuze gradually lost the wind.Without the support of his strength, Su Jin could feel the life in his body, gradually passing away with the blood.

With the last blow, Fang Wuyi easily grasped Hu Yuze's neck, and the dagger gleaming coldly was already in his hand.And Hu Yuze is doing the final struggle: "What do you think Su Jin has relied on to survive until now? If I die, he will also be buried with me!"

"Really?" Fang Wuyi didn't waver at all, and his calm tone remained unchanged: "That is to say, if I absorb your power, I can extend his life and let him live, right?"

Before Hu Yuze could be surprised, Fang Wuyi stabbed the gleaming dagger into his body.With a piercing cry, his body gradually shattered, and finally shattered into black mist, which was absorbed into Fang Wuyi's body.

He threw down the dagger, walked back to Su Jin's side, held him in his arms, and whispered softly: "No one can hurt you anymore, everything is over."

Su Jin exhausted all her strength and hugged him back, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, filled with relief: "Thank you..."

Fang Wuyi held his hand tightly, as if afraid that he would disappear.Pressing the bleeding wound, Fang Wuyi's originally indifferent expression was full of panic at the moment: "It's okay, I have the power of God, so I can definitely extend your life... yes..."

Blood stained the palm and seeped out from between the fingers. Fang Wuyi's voice began to tremble violently, so that his words became intermittent.He understood that Su Jin's body had always relied on Hu Yuze's strength to survive. Even if he killed him and absorbed his strength, he still couldn't maintain Su Jin's life.He found out too late, Su Jin's heart was already riddled with holes, even if Hu Yuze was still alive, his body was probably at its limit.

He understands, but doesn't want to admit it.He hated his own powerlessness, unable to win Su Jin's heart, unable to get him out of the bloody battlefield, unable to stop Hu Yuze from hurting him, unable to keep his life.Those loves, those inescapable sense of despair, came like heavy snow, buried them deeply.

"Do you know..." The pain has faded away, Su Jin took a light breath, looked at the invisible sky, and murmured: "My hometown has a landscape that changes color with the climate. In four seasons, there are noisy alleys full of goods, clear blue sky, and clear air with the fragrance of flowers. When the breeze blows, catkins are flying all over the sky. Even in spring, you can see incredible snow scenes -"

Pausing for a while, Su Jin seemed to see the person he had been thinking about all this time, and smiled towards the sun and stretched out his hand to him.He closed his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously: "I really want to go back—"

The soft whisper, like a sigh, dissipated soundlessly in the cold air.In the brief silence, Fang Wuyi hugged him tightly and gradually became cold, the pain suppressed in his heart turned into crazy cries, rushing to the sky, echoing in the empty village.

When the lingering sound dissipated, everything returned to silence.Fang Wuyi pressed against his cheek, rubbing gently: "I will make this place the place you want to go back to, and you will live a happy and peaceful life here—life after life."

A drop of water fell into the empty darkness, dizzying circles of ripples.

Something cold fell on Su Jin's face.In an instant, all the feelings came back to him.He slowly opened his eyes, and Fang Wuyi's face gradually became clear in front of his eyes.It's just that the face is no longer pure and flawless, and there are strange lines at the corners of the eyes.

Not yet adapted to the sudden strong light, in the haze, the man's eyes were lonely and sad, hiding the unspeakable, thousands of words.

"...Wu...Yi...?" He opened his mouth, trying to call the other person's name.Fang Wuyi was stunned, and held the hand that was on his cheek, his cold eyes gradually softened: "Well, it's me."

"You still have people you miss and people you don't want to leave, so you don't give your life to me willingly." Tears slowly dripped down Fang Wuyi's cheeks, but he was still smiling. Satisfied and happy: "Although I'm a bit unwilling...but, it's great...you're still alive, really, it's great..."

Fang Wuyi's voice gradually disappeared in his ears, and Su Jin could no longer hear what he said.Bright light filled this silent world, Fang Wuyi, and the sword piercing Su Jin's chest, all turned into light spots and slowly dissipated, blending into the strong light.

The warm touch still remained in his palm, Su Jin stretched out his hand, but only caught a handful of silver sand.In the end, even the silver sand went with the wind.

The breeze caressed past the ear, as if the person whispered softly in the ear.

I will be by your side.And you will live the life you want here, life after life.

Someone held his hand in mid-air, and the familiar temperature passed through the fingers.After the light dissipated, the face that was extremely familiar and recalled countless times in his mind finally appeared in front of his eyes.

The man was crying loudly, his face was dirty with tears mixed with muddy water, calling him with that nostalgic warm voice.

"Nerd—"

The bright sunshine, the fresh, grassy air, and the clumsy but warm person made him inexplicably at ease.He put his arms around the man's neck, smiled and whispered in his ear, "It's so dirty, idiot."

He responded with stronger hugs and louder cries.

He fell asleep peacefully in that reassuring embrace.

After waking up, I don't know how long it has been.Su Jin felt that he had a long and cruel dream, which was so real that he didn't know whether he had woken up or was still in the dream.

He turned his head and saw Wu Hao's sleeping face.There were still tears in the corners of the man's eyes, and he kept sobbing, as if he was having a nightmare.But even so, she held his hand firmly and never let go.

He hooked his fingers lightly, and Wu Hao felt a jolt as if he felt something, and woke up suddenly.

"Study...stupid..." Wu Hao held his hand tightly, as if he wanted to say a thousand words, looking at the tired but smiling eyes, he lost his words in an instant and could only speak loudly Crying: "Wow wow wow——"

"Idiot, it's so noisy." Although it was a complaint, there was no trace of impatience, but a bit of gentleness.Su Jin sat up and hugged him tightly. It wasn't until the warm and familiar breath came from the other party's body that he felt a little real: "I'm back."

What responded to him was a tighter hug and more wanton cries.

Su Jingran and Uncle Wu stood outside the door, smiling and watching the two hugging each other, with relief written between their brows.

The poplar outside the window has sprouted new branches, and the green color is transparent and immature.The breeze blew past the window, and I heard whispers before the collapse.The sun slowly spread, covering the faces of the two people looking at each other and smiling.

That day, Wu Hao was by his side and talked a lot about the people in the village, about Uncle Wu, about his father, and about the curse of the village.For the first time, Su Jin didn't feel that he was noisy, but just listened quietly.The voice that used to echo in his mind every day finally rang in his ears again, which made people feel nostalgic and attached.

Probably because of this incident, everyone had a psychological shadow, and Su Jin lost time alone.The three of them took turns to accompany him, but they kept following him no matter where he was.Wu Hao actually turned down all the jobs for a while, and then returned to work with his tail between his legs under Uncle Wu's coercion and lure and Su Jingran's ridicule.

The back mountain became his restricted area, and every time he proposed to go there, everyone's expressions changed drastically and they tried their best to stop him—even though there was no danger there.

Occasionally, he would stare at the direction of the back mountain in a daze, and unconsciously think of those days when he was with Fang Wuyi.Think of the distant misty, but real past.I miss that white clothes fluttering, stubborn and lonely person.

Although he didn't have any happy memories, the time of supporting each other still shone brightly in his dark, dark days.

He didn't know why he didn't choose him back then, and he didn't know why he chose Wu Hao now.Perhaps in this world, there is really nothing more unreasonable and difficult to understand than feelings.

Su Jingran seemed to have noticed something from his occasional absent-mindedness, so he told him that the mountain god devoted all his strength at the last moment to rescue him, and was punished for breaking the law.But the mountain god will not disappear. He must still be somewhere deep in the mountains, silently guarding the village and guarding him.

At the end, Su Jingran asked him: "What kind of story is there between you and the mountain god that made him so desperate for you?"

He listened, just shook his head with a smile.The story in that long time is too long and complicated to tell, and there is no need to tell.

Those stories, those emotions, just need to be buried deep in his heart.On a sunny day, savor it alone.

He returned to the days of running wild with Wu Hao every day, and every scene in the forest became extraordinarily fresh and beautiful.They catch fish and swim in the clear lake, roll in the soft grass, look into the distance on the branches with dense foliage, and watch the flying fireflies in the silent night.Everything became beautiful and comfortable again.

He thought that most of the time, he was not obsessed with this village, but with the person who was always by his side.They are actually the same as Fang Wuyi, willing to accompany the person they like, carefully maintaining this relationship, gentle and stubborn.

In the end, for those who are worthy of protection, draw the ground as a prison.
