One Pillow Huaxu

Outside is an endless wasteland, and not far away, a river with crushed ice is rushing by, rushing down from the top of the mountain.Wu Xie took out the compass, and all the points had returned to normal.Here was the right exit, and they came out of that village.

Only then did Wu Xie relax her tense nerves a little, let out a breath of white air, and raised her head to look at the sky.The night has not yet dissipated, and the morning star is shining in the distant sky.He knew it would be dawn soon.

The two of them didn't relax completely, and walked towards the end of the wilderness for a while in the dark of night, before stopping to rest in a clearing near the woods.

Zhang Qiling quickly lit a bonfire, turned around to look for firewood again, but someone grabbed his sleeve.

Wu Xie pulled him to sit down by the fire, and moved his hand forward, supporting the back of his hand instead.

Wu Xie lowered her head and looked at the palm she held.The palm was full of calluses, with several scars, and at this time a new wound was lying across the center.The owner of the hand cut the knife very quickly, the wound was turned outwards, and the blood from the wound had already drained dry.

He tightened his palm, which was also wounded horizontally, and without speaking, he took out the first-aid kit from his backpack and began to treat the wound.

Zhang Qiling didn't speak either, and stretched out his hands cooperatively, letting the opponent move.He quietly watched the person in front of him, and by the light of the bonfire, he saw Wu Xie lowered his eyes, his face was expressionless, but his eyes were serious, and his bandaging was light.

Zhang Qiling's eyes were focused, watching the extremely pale warm light hitting Wu Xie's face, smoothing out some edges and corners through the other's eyelashes.He didn't realize that the expression in his eyes had already changed, and it could even be said to be soft at this moment.

Wu Xie noticed the sight.He raised his head and looked into Zhang Qiling's eyes. After looking at each other for a while, he suddenly swept his eyes away, tilted his head at an angle, seemed to be looking at something, and smiled for a while.

His expression was extremely relaxed, probably because of the light, the expression on his face eased a bit.

"You have to rush out of the village, and you have to guard against the villagers and Nada along the way. It's dark down there, and it's too late to escape." Wu Xie looked at the seam, "I almost forgot about this mask."

Zhang Qiling opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wu Xie: "You have changed a lot."

He quickly lowered his head to continue bandaging, and asked, "What's the reason?"

Accompanied by Wu Xie's voice, the firewood in the bonfire burst and made a crisp sound.The fine sparks scattered and flew towards the night sky.

The surroundings fell into a brief silence, Wu Xie didn't raise his head, he could only feel that the eyes of the people in front of him were still on his face.Just when he thought the other party would not answer, Zhang Qiling spoke.

His voice was very slow and soft, mixed in the cold night wind, but every word he spoke clearly:

"because of you."

Wu Xie froze when he heard the words, a rare moment of astonishment appeared on his face.He suddenly raised his head to look at the other person's eyes, and saw that those eyes were still indifferently black, but at this moment there was warmth in them, like a bonfire in the cold night.

At this time, Zhang Qiling said softly: "If you have any questions, I will answer them."

When Wu Xie heard this, the look in his eyes changed a few times, but he didn't make a sound, and fell into a long silence.

At this moment, countless emotions surged in his heart.Wu Xie looked into the other person's eyes and thought silently in her heart: What should I ask.What can I ask.

Thinking of this, he withdrew his hand after treating the wound, lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, the first time he inhaled it, he coughed a few times as if he was choking hard.This shock made his nose sour, and his eyes seemed to be sour.

He immediately raised his hand to stop Zhang Qiling from approaching, and raised his head to look up, as if to ease the sudden cough.He looked at the stars all over his eyes, these light spots hung in the distant night sky, like silver fine sand, reflected in his eyes but they were still indistinct and gradually blurred.

He stared straight, took a deep breath, as if he had had a great psychological struggle, he suppressed his voice, controlled his emotions and pretended to be calm, and opened his mouth:

"Bro."

When these two words came out, he seemed to have returned to the dark coffin underground.Just like the other party called out his name in the bottomless darkness, these two words are mixed with countless fragments of memory and time, coming from an extremely distant place.

He felt that his throat was astringent, and he blinked vigorously before continuing to ask:

"Is my choice correct?"

He walked a long way into the wind and sand alone. This was his voluntary choice, and it was also his only choice.He made countless decisions that were incomprehensible to others because he had to complete the seemingly impossible plan.

Not just for himself, but for others as well.He knew intellectually that he had to go on, and he would not give up and move on.

Wu Xie believes that he can do it, and the person he wants to see will definitely be able to come back.The appearance of the person in front of him now proved everything.

It's just that it's not going to be an easy journey.Like drinking the last drop of water while walking in the desert, the scorching sun and thirst continue to scorch one to suffocation.He knew he couldn't stop, and he still walked firmly towards his destination.Because he knows very well that if you stop, you can't find the lost person, and you can't find the oasis.

But in many cases, people will have countless uncontrollable instincts.Fear, hesitation, doubt, and because of this instinctive emotion, there is a momentary escape.

All this is too painful.

He continued to raise his head, trying to see the blurred stars clearly.Then he heard Zhang Qiling's voice.

The voice was very soft, with a touch of warmth, but it seemed to be immersed in the endless night, and it had the power to push people forward.

Zhang Qiling said softly: "You did nothing wrong."

You did it, well done.

Wu Xie listened, and closed her eyes very hard.He felt his heartbeat mixed with those messy voices, still echoing in his mind, but this sentence made him hear it very clearly, even overshadowing those voices.

After a while, he lowered his head and met those black ink-like eyes.

He saw that the other party's eyes were deep, with some softened relief.At the same time, the gaze was very focused, as if only the two of them were left in the whole world.

Those eyes were familiar, but there were some changes that Wu Xie thought were extravagant.These changes spanned time and were shown to him in advance.It stands to reason that he has not seen these eyes for a very long time, and all this should make him strange.

However, at this moment, a wave of heat suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

This warm feeling even quickly overwhelmed those incomparably complicated emotions, and rushed to his heart layer by layer. At this moment, Wu Xie suddenly understood what he wanted to know most.He has been imagining this change for a long time, there are some things that he doesn't need to ask, he already knows the answer.

Thinking of this, Wu Xie took a deep breath, his expression slowly relaxed, after thinking about it, he asked again: "How is the fat man?"

"Married." Zhang Qiling said lightly, after thinking for a few seconds, he added, "He's doing well."

"Very good." Wu Xie said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to drink his wedding wine."

As he spoke, he laughed, leaned his body back, and looked at the starry sky again.At this moment, he seemed to let go of a lot of things, following the changes Zhang Qiling showed him in advance, he briefly escaped from the wind and sand, and returned to the beginning.

After this question, Wu Xie didn't ask any more questions.Zhang Qiling didn't say much, just quietly looked at the other party's bright eyes, and also slightly curled the corner of his mouth.

The two fell into silence again, but this time it didn't make people feel uncomfortable, but brought a kind of peace.

Before he knew it, a fog gradually formed around him.This mist seemed to rise from the woods, and if there was nothing there, it gradually surrounded the surroundings like a white ghost.

At the same time, the same idea popped up in their minds.This seemed to be a sudden intuition, but they were clearly aware that the idea was driven by some unknown force.With the forced emergence of this idea, they knew the next direction very clearly, and there was no way to resist this force.

Wu Xie looked in one direction, then lowered his head and dragged the backpack, and began to distribute the equipment.

Zhang Qiling frowned, and raised his hand to take the bag in Wu Xie's hand.He transferred all the water to another bag: "I don't need these."

Wu Xie dragged it back again, ignored him, and still distributed according to the two people, saying: "Because of these at the beginning, I didn't expect it to be the same routine in the end."

He tidied up quickly, stood up, and handed the backpack to Zhang Qiling: "It's time."

Zhang Qiling stood up, but made no other movements.Seeing this, Wu Xie took the initiative to stuff the backpack into his hand, but Zhang Qiling suddenly grabbed his hand at this moment.

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, seeing that the other party was holding on to his hand, the palm covered the back of his hand and retracted it, and finally put it at the junction of the side face and neck.

Zhang Qiling didn't speak, and looked at Wu Xie fixedly.

Wu Xie quickly understood what he was thinking.This was the third time Wu Xie touched this dividing line, but at this moment, he clearly understood what he wanted to do.

Wu Xie looked at him quietly for a moment, then suddenly said: "This thing is like a transparent thing, it doesn't make any sense whether it is there or not. If you want to see someone, it's only about yourself."

"Enough is enough." Wu Xie said, he simply withdrew his hand, his tone was extremely calm, "Save the real meeting for the next official occasion."

At the same time, his hand paused in mid-air for a few seconds, then stretched out again.Wu Xie took Zhang Qiling's hand, folded their palms and hung them in the middle, and made a farewell handshake.

His eyes were open and firm, and he said "thank you" silently in his heart, and then said with a smile, "goodbye."

After speaking, he took the initiative to let go of his hand, stepped back a few steps, and stood behind the campfire.Wu Xie turned his eyes to the distance, thought for a while, and said, "You go first, I regret that I didn't see you off on Changbai Mountain for the last time."

His tone was a little tough, as if he was playing tricks on purpose: "In order to go back and sleep peacefully this time, I have to watch you go this time."

In the end, Zhang Qiling turned around under Wu Xie's gaze.He paused for a moment, then walked slowly in that established direction.

He knew that the time had come now, and the dream would wake up, just like coming here suddenly at the beginning, they couldn't resist this result.He also knows that now Wu Xie can face everything again, and they will definitely meet again in the future.

But after walking a certain distance, he turned his head.

Seeing Wu Xie still standing by the bonfire, Zhang Qiling looked in this direction with his hands in his hands, as if he was stunned for a moment because of his sudden turning of his head, then smiled, and raised his hand as a gesture of goodbye.

Zhang Qiling was silent for a long time, he watched Wu Xie from a distance, as if he wanted to remember every detail of this figure.After a long time, he turned around and walked in the direction of leaving again.

But the moment he turned around, he heard Wu Xie call out: "Brother."

Zhang Qiling stopped in his tracks, he turned his head again, and saw Wu Xie hesitate in place for a few seconds, and finally ran towards him across the flames, through the night in front of him.

Wu Xie stopped in front of him, opened his mouth to say something, but seemed to not know how to speak, finally touched his neck, and took off the coat on his body.

He was wearing Zhang Qiling's outer robe all the time, and after taking it off, he handed it to the other party: "Brother, I forgot to return it to you, it was quite cold along the way."

After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips and smiled dully, organized his words again, and continued, "Why don't you call him Lao Zhang, I'm not used to it."

Zhang Qiling stared at him deeply, didn't speak, and didn't pick up his robe.Wu Xie faced the other party's gaze, and passed the robe forward, but he took a step back, took a deep breath, and finally said:

"Bon voyage..."

His words were not finished.

Zhang Qiling suddenly moved at this moment, he took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and hugged Wu Xie.

Wu Xie's words stopped suddenly.He felt that Zhang Qiling's arms were slowly tightening, gradually increasing his strength, and finally buried his head deeply on his shoulders.

He froze in place, feeling his heartbeat getting heavier, at the same time he felt the heat from the other person, and heard the sound of the other person's breathing amplified in his ear.

Zhang Qiling closed his eyes, hugged Wu Xie vigorously in his arms, remained silent for a moment, and whispered something in the other's ear.

He said, come to me later.

When Wu Xie heard the words, she also closed her eyes forcefully.He raised his head and passed through the dark woods, seeing that the last clouds and mist had dispersed in the night sky at this time. On the boundless dark sky, scattered stars converged into countless long rivers, which flowed straight into the distance.

He saw the stars all over the sky, like rain.

Wu Xie lowered her head, raised her arms, and hugged Zhang Qiling as hard as she could.

He said, sure.
