I see the snow

This escape was extremely difficult for Mu Ziling.

In the rugged mountain road, it is almost impossible for him to keep a distance from Qin Yi while avoiding the pursuit.

The dense bushes and grass scratched his cheeks and clothes, and Mu Ziling's breathing was short and rapid.

He tried his best to find a stream of water to cover up the smell on his body, but he followed the sound of water for a long time, but he didn't come across it.

The grass is dense and chaotic, and the night is as gloomy as ink that cannot be melted.

"hurry up!"

The voices of soldiers in the distance are faintly discernible, accompanied by the sound of "rustle" footsteps when walking in the grass.They seem to be saying:

"Look for footprints, move faster!"

The beast that rushed out just now made them confused for a short while, but then they gathered together very quickly.

Mu Ziling hated this kind of "escape". In his dictionary, there had never been such a word.

Get rid of it as long as it is not pleasing to the eye.

His complexion was slightly pale, because of the violent movements, his cheeks and fingers were cold.

... If it wasn't for the Fallen God's Tower being destroyed.

Mu Ziling thought coldly, what is such a small person to him?

He lowered his eyes, with a mocking smile on his face.

Sometimes, I really can't tell whether I should be glad that I finally did something absolutely; or regret that I shouldn't have done it all at once.

Mu Ziling glanced back at the direction of the search queue, and subconsciously leaned against the tree trunk next to him——

He was so tired that he wanted to stop and take a rest while there was still some distance left.

"Qin Yi, Qin Yi..."

Mu Ziling murmured, "You really won't let me go."

However, what people didn't expect was that the second Mu Ziling leaned against the tree trunk——

His foot slipped suddenly, and he stepped off the slope, and fell backwards suddenly.

……

"Your Majesty, after chasing here, the clue will be broken."

Far away, someone said in a place that seems far away.

"When we chased here, the footprints disappeared. There was no smell."

The servant said: "Maybe it's too dark, we didn't find any traces."

Qin Yi squatted down and touched the soil on the broken slope by himself.

He grabbed a handful and spread it between his fingertips—

It's still very soft, and it's true that someone passed by here not long ago.

Down the slope is a stream.

Qin Yi stood up and looked down the slope.The stream glowed with sparkling light in the night, gurgling and flowing.

"We also checked under the stream."

Sensing Qin Yi's movements, the servant added: "There are no clues, and no footprints."

"Can the dog trainer catch up?"

Qin Yi asked in a low voice.

"I can't catch up."

The servant replied: "The stream dilutes the smell."

"..."

Qin Yi was silent for a long moment, and then he finally couldn't help it, and became furious, and shouted suddenly: "Are you all trash!?"

"You can chase people away in a forest, what's the use of you!!!"

If it wasn't for his upbringing, Qin Yi would have almost kicked the head guard who was kneeling in front of him——

"Search."

He said in a hoarse voice: "Go downhill, follow the stream, chase all the way - search in the forest, expand the range, if you want to see people, if you want to see dead bodies!!"

I have never seen Qin Yi lose his composure like this, and no one in his entourage made a sound.Frightened and frightened, they scattered away and searched again silently.

Qin Yi gritted his teeth and stood there, his eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't calm down after breathing for a long time.

why?

When he managed to get so close, even knowing that Mu Ziling was in front of him, did he want to watch him leave again?

Qin Yi stared silently at the pitch-black forest, the darkness was like a beast with its mouth open.

He devoured his phoenix and hid it somewhere.

At the same time, Mu Ziling was staying in a cave less than five meters away from Qin Yi.

Just now he stepped on the ground and fell from above, and he didn't stop until he hit a huge boulder in the middle.

However, there happened to be a hollow on the side of the boulder, and Mu Ziling knocked hard on the stone before rolling in.

The hollow was a little narrow, only allowing him to curl up and hide in it, but when looking down from above, it was covered by vegetation, so he couldn't see it at all.

He listened to the movement of Qin Yi on the broken slope above, and also heard the orderly and hurried search steps of the soldiers——

But they all seemed to ignore this place, and they never thought that there was a hollow in the middle of the slope anyway.

what is this?

Blessed by trouble?

A mocking smile floated on Mu Ziling's face, and he wiped the cut on his forehead indifferently, and a large bloodstain was stained on the cuff.

This is destined not to be a peaceful night. Throughout the night, the woods were filled with shouts of soldiers, footsteps in the grass, and the sound of rubbing clothes.

Losing when I thought I was about to get it is the most painful.

Qin Yi almost turned over the entire forest, which is nothing more than the so-called digging three feet.However, Mu Ziling could not be found after all.

When he finally looked at a messy jungle, he almost collapsed.

All the servants stood dejectedly in front of Qin Yi, not daring to say anything, probably knowing that whoever speaks at this time will die first.

Qin Yi was also very tired, his hands and face were covered with tiny cuts, all of which were pulled out by soft thorns when he turned over the bushes just now.

The palm lines are also full of dirt.

But he didn't seem to feel the slightest pain, and he was still staring at the woods in a daze, wanting to look for it again, disheveled and disheveled.

"Mu Ziling."

He murmured: "Mu Ziling——!!!"

Facing the darkness that seemed to swallow everything, he shouted loudly.

Everyone stood behind Qin Yi, holding torches.

All of them were silent.

"Come out."

Qin Yi said: "I beg you!!——"

"Where are you... don't hide away..."

He begged almost desperately: "Gu really wants to take you back."

However, Mu Ziling curled up in the hollow indifferently, thinking lightly: Go back?

Go back and continue to be Mu Huai'an's stand-in, fulfilling your long-shattered dream?

"Gu is the one who loves you..."

But unexpectedly, the next sentence, Qin Yi's words suddenly stunned Mu Ziling.

He said, "Fenghuang'er, Gu loves you—"

"..."

"The one who loves alone has always been you."

Qin Yi said, his unsteady voice was choked with sobs, trembling slightly, he said: "That year in Jiangzhou, the person Gu met was you, right? You gave the peddler a jade pendant, Gu thought it was yours, When I went to Yunyan in the second year, I found Mu Huai'an. Gu... I have always loved you!!"

As if being hit by something, Mu Ziling froze, as if he couldn't hear what Qin Yi was saying for a few seconds.

"Fenghuang'er. Orphan Fenghuang'er!! You have been waiting for Gu to think of you, right?"

Qin Yi trembled slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "But Gu has never forgotten you."

"Let Gu compensate you."

Qin Yi continued: "Gu will take you to see the tide of the Huanhu River, take you to see the white camellias all over the mountains and plains, and give you everything you want!!... Go back with Gu, okay?"

Mu Ziling was completely stunned, he was still holding his sleeve with his left hand, and was about to wipe the wound on his forehead, but he couldn't move at this moment.

A thunderbolt exploded in the sky, and slowly, raindrops began to fall.

"Are we, Fenghuang'er, afraid of such a big thunder and lightning?"

Qin Yi asked hoarsely: "Is it okay to come to Gu's side, and let Gu protect you. Gu... Gu's side is very warm, and I won't let anyone bully you. Gu protects you."

However, Mu Ziling remained motionless.

He even suspected that he had heard wrong and had some kind of hallucination.

"Gu regards you as a treasure."

Qin Yi said: "From now on, I will be with you, do whatever you want, go wherever you want, and start again with you."

Restart.

……restart.

When Mu Ziling heard these four words, what arose in his heart was not joy, but some kind of unspeakable absurdity.

What a simple sentence, but they have clearly separated so many gaps.

He ruined his qinggong, broke his hands, and trampled his self-esteem on the ground, so far only four words are left, "start again"! !

When he loved him the most, he dismissed him; when he hated him so much, he turned to chase and pray.

Why are people always so cheap?

"It's too late...it's already too late."

Mu Ziling murmured in a low voice, and even laughed in a crazily hoarse voice.Two lines of cold water dripped down his cold face, and it was impossible to tell whether it was rain or tears.

He stared blankly at the air in front of him, his eyes full of nothingness.The rain began to float in from outside the cave, wet his white hair and sideburns, and stick to his forehead coldly.

"I don't like you anymore."

Mu Ziling smiled lowly, and said silently, "I don't want to start over with you."

Qin Yi waited in the jungle, almost hoarse.

However, his hoarseness did not wait for any response, and the woods were still dark, gloomy, thick as a mass of insoluble ink.

"Kings……"

Holding an umbrella, the entourage walked behind Qin Yi, trying to cover him from the rain.

However, Qin Yi suddenly became violent, pushed him away, and said:

"Go away!"

He looked at the woods where Mu Ziling was hidden, but he didn't know where he was, like a desperate beast.

Qin Yi's untied hair floated slightly in the air. He staggered a few steps and murmured, "Fenghuang'er... come back, I am waiting for you."

The mud splashed and landed on Qin Yi's boots. After walking a few steps, he slipped and fell into the rain.

Qin Yi was lying in the mud, and the servants suddenly exclaimed: "Your Majesty!!"

However, Qin Yi slowly got up by himself, panting and turned over.Looking up at the dark sky.

The rain kept hitting his eye sockets and cheeks, making Qin Yi almost unable to open his eyes.

"That day, it was also raining so heavily."

He murmured, "Gu brought him back from the rainforest."

However, from that day on, he completely lost him.

Qin Yi lay in the rain, let out a death-like roar of grief, and laughed loudly with sobs.

Later, Qin Yi sat on the top of the slope in the rain and played "When Will You Come Again" for Mu Ziling.

He blew it over and over again, and in the pouring rain, the icy purple jade xun was almost warmed by his palm.

"Qingqing knows what I want, ride the wind and walk slowly."

"I hope that your heart is like mine, that you will not let me down, and love you."

……

It's like a secret between the two of them. When Qin Yi played this piece, Mu Ziling knew what he was thinking.

However, just like Mu Ziling once told him——

This is an unknown song, and everyone who sings it will not wait until their own return.

Mu Ziling curled up in the cave, the rain made his whole body icy cold.

But he still tried his best to straighten out his snow-white hair little by little, and then touched the "little snake" on his wrist——

That was the A Zhu he made out of his white hair, and he started making it when he and Li Kongqing hadn't parted.

The snow-white little snake with pale hair, Mu Ziling thought, the night when Ah Zhu left him, was very similar to tonight.

But he could see it again soon.

Mu Ziling rested his head wearily on the wall of the cave, and closed his eyes.

In Qin Yi's "When Will You Come Again" Xun, he didn't listen for a long time before falling asleep.

In this dream, he dreamed of the courtyard of his childhood, the high wall of Liang Cheng's harem, and Qin Yi who was singing with him in the tavern.

In the end, he dreamed about the first meeting in Jiangzhou again, but this time, it was when he and Qin Yi parted.

Qin Yi was slightly taller than him, standing in front of him, looking at him calmly with a smile on his face.

He touched his face, pinched his cheek, and said, "Call brother again."

Mu Ziling said obediently and softly, "Brother."

Qin Yi touched the top of his hair:

"I'll pick you up next year. See you next year."

Mu Ziling's hair was black and soft, and it looked like he was addicted to rubbing it. Qin Yi couldn't help touching it again.

"Do you know the way home?"

The nine-year-old boy nodded slightly.

He is so handsome.

Qin Yi couldn't help thinking about it again and again.

It is unparalleled in the world.

He handed Mu Ziling a bag of money, but he was worried, and before leaving, he looked back at him.

Mu Ziling still stood where he was, holding the bag of silver that Qin Yi gave him, and looked at him silently.

In the crowd, he looked very sad standing on the street, as if he had been abandoned, but he was timid and didn't dare to chase after him.

He just quietly looked at Qin Yi's back in the same place.

But seeing Qin Yi looking back at him like this, he was very happy again and laughed.

Seeing his expression, Qin Yi couldn't help but also laughed, then turned around, led the horse, and really left without looking back.

Nine-year-old Mu Ziling just watched him blend into the crowd of people on the long street, and gradually walked away, farther and farther, farther and farther away.

Never to be seen again.

Only he was left standing in place.

He withdrew his gaze from chasing Qin Yi's figure, and seemed to understand that he would never see Qin Yi who was kind to him again.

But in the dream, this time, Mu Ziling just stood there.

He didn't go after him.

... I hope that your heart is like mine, that I will not let you down, that I love you...

After one night, when the sky was bright, Qin Yi put away the xun and slowly stood up from the grass.

"Kings."

The followers all looked at him with a little fear, not daring to speak.

It rained all night, and then stopped at the fourth or fifth watch, but Qin Yi's clothes were still not completely dry.

"Don't be too sad."

Chang Mo plucked up his courage and risked his life to persuade him, "Maybe Mr. Mu walked along the stream. It was too dark yesterday, we couldn't see it, and the dog couldn't smell it. Why don't we go and see what we can find?" There may be no clues."

However, Qin Yi was too tired, as if he had been cut open from the inside out, he was so numb that he couldn't feel anything.

He nodded wearily and signaled the soldiers to form a team.

Qin Yi's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the team he brought out.

He would never have thought that this was the closest he was to Mu Ziling during his journey.

They "meet" briefly, then stagger again.

After all, step by step, he walked towards a future without Mu Ziling.

After Qin Yi's men left for a long time, Mu Ziling walked out of the hollow and returned to the top of the slope.

There are traces of being searched everywhere in the woods, and there are still many messy horseshoe marks by the stream.

In the grass under a tree, there is still a group of traces that have been crushed for a long time——

That was the seat where Qin Yi sat last night.

Mu Ziling walked over slowly, and picked up a small thing——

It was an ugly grasshopper, probably accidentally fell out of Qin Yi's arms when he took out the xun last night.The grasshopper lay in Mu Ziling's hands, and he watched it quietly for a while.

Then Mu Ziling smiled lowly, put it on a grass tip, and stood it up.

The little emerald green thing was hanging on the tip of the grass, staggering, almost as if it was real.

But this is where it should be.

Mu Ziling thought, just like he and Qin Yi once met by mistake, but they always want to get back on track.

Mu Ziling turned around slowly and walked in one direction——

That's where it all began and where it will end.

The faint morning light fell on him, and behind Mu Ziling, there were lush grass and a trickling stream.

Under the newly rising sun, it seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light, shimmering and shimmering.

Everything has not yet begun, and everything will eventually end.
