This forest on Jade Mountain,

It looks like nothing special.Although the forest is dense, it is the result of artificial planting at first glance.It must be that the original trees had been cut down in the early years, and then some saplings were gradually planted. The growth cycle of the trees is very slow, and after more than ten years, they are no more than the thickness of a human thigh.Moreover, the artificially transformed forests have a single species and lack the beauty of wild scenery.

Xiao Zhengnan didn't go into the woods with Bei Xinmiao, he said calmly that they should make some preparations.

"What preparations?" Bei Xinmiao asked.

"DV, defensive tools..." Xiao Zhengnan said vaguely.

"What do you want DV for?"

"If there's really a problem in the woods, we'll have to record the evidence."

Makes sense.Bei Xinmiao didn't say anything.They put away their tents and went down the mountain to eat the special snacks of Mingling County and stir-fried dried fish.Bei Xinmiao called Tang Guan.

The three sat at a small table in Jian Ji's restaurant.Tang Guan felt unnatural when facing Xiao Zhengnan. "Teacher Xiao."

"Skipping class again." Xiao Zhengnan seemed to be talking about a trivial matter.He glanced at Bei Xinmiao, as if to say, "So this little guy came with you." '

Tang Guan said to Bei Xinmiao cleverly: "Brother, do you consider me a real brother? Since you and my teacher are good friends. Don't let him criticize me."

Xiao Zhengnan joked to Bei Xinmiao: "You have to be careful to recognize such a cunning fox as your younger brother." Then he turned to Tang Guan and said, "You don't want to go to college anymore!?"

"So what if you pass the exam." Tang Guan said. "In the future, I still have to work and support myself. Besides, my mother made arrangements for me when she was alive. I will go to the army when I am 18. I will take the military college entrance examination in the army."

"It's easy to say." Xiao Zhengnan said.He looked at Tang Guan's arm. "Have you joined the fitness team recently?"

Tang Guan took off one sleeve, clenched his fist and bent his arm to show the muscles on his arm, two small bumps bulged on his tight arm. "I signed up for the biceps. And the abs." He flipped his shirt back to show off his abs.Deliberately push the muscles to protrude.His exaggerated movements attracted the attention of other people in the restaurant.

Bei Xinmiao patted him on the head, "What a fool. Put on your clothes!"

Xiao Zhengnan smiled.said nothing.

"Mr. Xiao, you can stay here for a few days. We are going to explore the mountains, come with us." Tang Guan seemed to invite sincerely.

Xiao Zhengnan looked at him and said for a while, "I will be back."

……

After eating, Xiao Zhengnan left, telling Bei Xinmiao that he would come to accompany him on weekends.And told him not to go up the mountain rashly these two days.Just check out the situation in town.Accompany him up the mountain when he comes back.

After Xiao Zhengnan's car drove a long way, Bei Xinmiao turned around and saw Tang Guan leaning against the hotel door, sticking out his tongue at him. "I thought Teacher Xiao would arrest me and go back to class. It's okay. Your relationship is so good. If the class teacher troubles me in the future, I can ask Teacher Xiao to intercede."

Bei Xinmiao turned around and walked into the hotel.

Tang Guan followed behind him, fiddling with his mobile phone.

With only two people left, there seemed to be no need to put on a show.

Bei Xinmiao spoke first. "What you saw today...don't talk about it everywhere."

Tang Guan stared at the phone: "Do you think I will talk about it?"

"Didn't you go out and talk about the two of us?" Bei Xinmiao said seriously.He remembered what Xiao Zhengnan had mentioned to him. "I told you at school! I really can't understand that you are not afraid of being treated as a monster?"

"I don't care. They have long regarded me as a monster. They may not believe what I say. Hmph." Tang Guan said disapprovingly. "You are afraid of affecting Teacher Xiao. Don't worry. How dare I go around talking about Teacher Xiao? This is private, I understand. Besides, he treats me better than other teachers—he never forces me or pretends in front of me. Caring or feigning anger. You like him. I'm fine."

Bei Xinmiao was a little sullen.Perhaps it was Tang Guan's disapproval that made him feel uncomfortable.

"I know where I lost." Tang Guan rubbed his eyes.

(two more)

Face your own changes.Bei Xinmiao was very troubled.

He stayed in the hotel bathroom for a long time, standing motionless in front of the mirror.

At a glance, it was no longer obvious that he was a dead man.

Except for his still bloodless, pale complexion, which shows that he is unusual.

"I want to go to the toilet!" Tang Guan frantically knocked on the bathroom door.When Bei Xinmiao put on her clothes and came out, Tang Guan just looked at him nonchalantly. "Inside for so long? Are you okay?"

"fine."

"We wasted a day. We could have gone to Yushan Company to inquire today..."

"Aren't you going to use the toilet?"

Tang Guan let out a hum and got in.

Bei Xinmiao sat on the bed and was distressed.Now he wondered about himself more than he cared about anything else.For a long time after he became a zombie, if someone could tell him that he could gain life just by doing this with a living person, he would be ecstatic.But why is he not happy now.

No, he shouldn't have said he wasn't happy at all.In fact, he has been suppressing the ecstasy in his heart-can he live?Even if it just looks like it's alive.

But his troubles were equally deep-he didn't know whether doing so would harm the living.In his heart, he firmly believes that there will be no good things that have the best of both worlds.Vivid examples can be seen everywhere - the prosperity of many people is built on the pain of others.The greater the luck, the more misfortune is hidden behind it.

He turned over the bed and picked up the phone on the head of the bed. After thinking for a while, he called Chi Yang.

He knew that Xiao Zhengnan had Chi Yang's number in his cell phone, and he had secretly written it down.

Chi Yang seemed to be outdoors, and the whistling wind came first from the phone.Before Bei Xinmiao could speak, he said, "You don't need to hurt him."

"How do you know what I'm going to ask?"

Chi Yang let out a strange and sharp laugh: "You know... I'm jealous of you!"

Bei Xinmiao was at a loss. "Stop talking to me like that again! Stop being vague! Tell me, what does 'I can't hurt him' mean? Tell me, what can and cannot be done?!"

"You're almost figuring it out for yourself."

"Tell me directly, don't make me guess!"

"You can't understand what I said now."

"Tell me and give it a try." Bei Xinmiao begged him. "Try it. What do I need to do?"

Chi Yang was blank for two seconds, and then said, "only..."

"Only what?"

Chi Yang smiled: "the answer is there, how simple it is - you don't hurt him."

After finishing the call, Bei Xinmiao sat by the bed in a daze.Chi Yang's words are still incomprehensible.He thought about it several times, and became more and more convinced of an answer - not to hurt, it was all up to his own will.He doesn't hurt, he doesn't get close, he gives up, he leaves, and he will keep the other party from being hurt.Yes, the answer is there, how simple, if he doesn't provoke him, if he doesn't accept him, won't there be no harm?

Bei Xinmiao bent down sadly and buried her head between her knees.Someone touched him on the arm. "Hey, what happened?" Tang Guan asked cautiously.

Bei Xinmiao raised her head and slowly placed the receiver on the base.

"Tell me. What happened." Tang Guan said.

Bei Xinmiao stood up. "do not bother me."

Tang Guan looked at him in surprise, and said dissatisfied casually. "You hate me when you have a new love!"

Bei Xinmiao suddenly turned to look at him. "What did you say?!"

Tang Guan jumped up: "We are partners! We said we would help each other, but what you are doing now is not good at all!"

"Okay! I'll give you a multiple-choice question: If you could realize all your dreams—including those you think are impossible to realize, but the price is that you have to hurt someone! How would you choose?"

Tang Guan rolled his eyes: "Is there such a beautiful thing? Any dream can come true?"

Bei Xinmiao stared at him. "Can you understand the point of the question?!"

"I understand, isn't it just hurting someone!" Tang Guan giggled and turned serious, "It depends on who is hurting. Family? Friends? Lovers? Passers-by? Oh?" ​​Seeing Bei Xin Miao remained silent, and Tang Guan said playfully, "It's a pity that there is no such thing in the world-it only needs to hurt one person to realize all dreams. I have thought about it before, if there is a devil who asks me to sell my soul to He, as long as he can help me realize a dream, I will definitely agree. But there won't be such a beautiful thing, will it?" Tang Guan stared at Bei Xinmiao with sparkling eyes. "So my answer is... I will never give up on my dream."
