One very ordinary morning, Yan Ling woke up from his sleep. He opened his eyes, turned his head, and looked quietly at Bai Yi who was lying beside him. Every morning when he woke up, the first thing he did was to confirm that Bai Yi Still, even though Bai Yi was there every day, his panic didn't fade in the slightest.

He always had the feeling that Boyi would leave him sooner or later.

Even if they are together every day, this panic has not been suppressed in any way.

This is the fifth year they have been together, and the five years have passed by like water.

A pair of arms suddenly embraced him, and Bai Yi let out a long and comfortable sigh: "Don't sleep for a while?"

Yan Ling lowered his head and kissed Bai Yi's forehead lightly, his voice was calm and full of magnetism: "It's past seven, get up for dinner."

In the past few years, Bai Yi has developed a habit of staying in bed. He closed his eyes and said in a sleepy voice, "I'll sleep for a while."

Yan Ling lifted the quilt and left the room lightly.

They moved to the third floor of a small building with three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and two bathrooms. It has been a year since the climate became normal and the land regained its vitality. This village has become their "city" .

Occasionally, I also communicate with other cities, but the communication is not much.

What used to be a village with only a few dozen people has now become a small town with hundreds of people.

But Yan Ling never had a sense of responsibility to these people, and he didn't feel that he should be responsible to these hundreds of people—he just wanted to find a place for himself and his brothers to stay.

Walking on the road, many people greeted Yan Ling, and even more people lowered their heads, walked aside, and waited for Yan Ling to pass by before continuing to move forward-although Yan Ling didn't talk to them about the rules, but in the past Just in case, they still have to talk.

Besides, this place is better than other cities by more than one star and a half, there is no class distinction, and Yan Ling is not the local emperor in this small town.

The city lords of many big cities regard themselves as the emperor, appoint cronies to manage affairs, win over the middle class, and squeeze the lower class, and even divide them into three, six, and nine classes. What each class can do is clearly divided. Emphasizing their power and status again and again.

As a result, many low-level people began to flee, and now they have a chance to survive wherever they go, so why hang themselves on a tree?

They are all educated people, so why should they be classified into different classes?

Many people from Yan Ling's side escaped.

But he didn't drive these people away, he could keep those who wanted to stay, and didn't stop those who didn't want to stay.

The word of mouth here is very good, and there are still many people waiting outside the village every day, wanting to enter the village.

The only problem is that the village is not big in the first place, and if it receives more people, it will need to be expanded. Expansion will take time and labor, which is not a wise move.

"How about moving to town?" Bai Yi sat by the window, eating the breakfast Yan Ling brought back, two pieces of corn tortillas, a small dish of pickles, the tortillas were fragrant and sweet, the original taste of corn, It looks simple, but it tastes good and is easy to get.

Yan Ling: "It's too troublesome, we need to recultivate the land."

Although the land has recovered, the soil that has become hard as a shell needs to be broken up, shoveled away, and then re-digged.

The whole process is very manpower-intensive. Now that there is no large-scale equipment, one mu of land needs at least a dozen people to work for a day.

If you change to another place and start over, the up-front work will be too much.

Boyi sighed: "It's better to change to a bigger place, sustainable development."

Bai Yi also discovered that Yan Ling had no ambitions, unlike Meng Ao and Asa, whose ambition was forced out, while Meng Ao was a born careerist.

Strictly speaking, Yan Ling is more like Zhang Li. If Zhang Wu is not in debt, Zhang Li may also prefer to live an ordinary life.

But it's not content to be ordinary, it's just that I don't take foreign things to heart.

Yan Ling: "Understood."

Bai Yi smiled at him, Yan Ling looked at Bai Yi's smiling face, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart. Since the beginning of this year, he often felt this way, chest tightness and pain, but he couldn't find the reason, and he was unwilling to ask anyone People confide.

"What's wrong? Looking at me like that?" Bai Yi gave Yan Ling a strange look.

Yan Ling shook his head: "Nothing."

Maybe he just suddenly had chest tightness, so don't think too much about it.

This village really can't live anymore. There is a lot of land, but few houses. Now many people are sleeping on the floor, even if they are sleeping on the floor, it is almost too crowded. Besides, there are people under the bed and under the bed in a room, and there is no place to stay.

Moreover, a group of big men squeezed into a room, not to mention the smell of sweat, but the smell of feet, and when the door was opened, there was a smell chamber.

Bai Yi once went to find Ye Ming, and almost vomited at the door after opening the door.

——This group of people don't even like to wash their feet.

In the past, it was to save water, but now I have water, but I have developed the habit of not washing my feet.

I don't like to take a bath, and I don't change the clothes I wear until they smell bad.

There were no conditions before, but now that the basic conditions are in place, they are still like this.

Yan Ling probably also felt that it was too crowded, and finally decided to take people to find a suitable town to live in, preferably near a river, with water sources, surrounded by land suitable for farming, and the terrain should not be too steep.

Yan Ling would take people out every year, and most of the time he would come back safely, and even if it was unsafe, he would only suffer minor injuries that were not life-threatening.

This time Yan Ling took someone out, and Bai Yi wanted to follow, but Yan Ling refused.

Before leaving, Yan Ling said to Bai Yi: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon, it's fine."

However, after waiting for more than half a month, Yan Ling still did not come back.

After more than a month, Yan Ling still didn't come back.

In the third month, Bai Yi couldn't sleep all night. He didn't know where Yan Ling and the others were going. Even Yan Ling couldn't tell the exact location before leaving, only a general direction, south or north.

"I have to find him."

Bo Yi carried his bag and notified Ye Ming of his decision.

Ye Ming was left by Yan Ling to protect the people in the village. If Yan Ling and the others failed to come back, Ye Ming would have to take responsibility.

But Ye Ming didn't think he could bear such a responsibility!

He just wanted to be a little brother honestly, and he would fight wherever the boss pointed out, without using his brain or weighing the pros and cons.

Only by following the boss can he feel safe. Once he is allowed to make up his own mind, he feels that nothing is right.

So Ye Ming thought of a way, and he entrusted this responsibility to Feng Yun who stayed with him, and volunteered to find Yan Ling and the others with Bai Yi.

Bai Yi and Ye Ming were walking on the road. Originally, Bai Yi didn't want to be with Ye Ming, but this person was too stubborn, and he was really sincere. He couldn't refuse, so he had to endure it.

They went to the north first, and they observed the larger towns along the road not far away, and went in to investigate after making sure there was no danger. There was not much food, and they could persist for a long time even if they saved some food.

"I don't know where Brother Yan and the others have gone." Ye Ming asked Bai Yi while lighting a fire, "Brother Bai, do you think they will encounter any trouble? Have they been detained?"

Bai Yi used a tree branch to pass through the fire, let the air in, and the fire would burn more vigorously. He had a lot of guesses in his mind, but he didn't want to think about the bad. Maybe it was because Yan Ling and the others hadn't found a suitable town, or maybe it was Because of an accident on the way,

Ye Ming: "But Brother Yan is definitely fine. We have to believe in his abilities, otherwise we would have disappeared many years ago, and we would still be here today?"

He said so, but he had no idea in his heart. Every time he went out, he would almost die, and he couldn't say something like absolute safety.

Bai Yi didn't speak, he just frowned, took out a bottle of water from his backpack and threw it to Ye Ming.

They didn't bring tents either. The weather was mild this season, with neither strong winds nor showers, and they could sleep with a layer of cloth on the ground.

They walked for more than ten days, and finally found a "city" that was inhabited.

This city is not big, it is estimated that it was built in the last two years, and there is no city wall. Most of the people inside are yellow and thin. After all, they have just resumed farming. It is normal for the grain production to not increase in the first few years. Now there is no fertilizer. , and no pesticides.

As everything recovers, pests such as locusts and mice have also regained their vitality.

Because there is no effective means, these pests can destroy one-third of the food every year.

If there is a plague of locusts, it will be even more serious. Not necessarily half or even more than half of them will enter their stomachs.

"Why don't you go over and ask?" Ye Ming asked.

Bai Yi thought for a while, weighed the pros and cons, and said, "You wait here, and I'll ask."

He has space, he can hide in if the situation is wrong, and come out when there is no one around, he is more sure than Ye Ming.

After all, even if Ye Ming had a gun, it was impossible to kill all the people in this town, especially since the bullets in the gun were limited, and it took time to reload, and that time was enough for people to pounce on Ye Ming and tear him apart.

However, Ye Ming didn't want to. He felt that he was stronger than Bai Yi - after all, he developed horizontally and was not tall, so he looked particularly strong, and his marksmanship was better than Bai Yi's. What's more, Bai Yi didn't kill him. Extraordinary, if you hesitate a little at the moment of life and death, you will lose a life.

The two talked for a long time, but no one could convince the other, and in the end they could only punch each other.

Bai Yi won without suspense.

"I'd like to admit defeat. I'll go and have a look first. If I don't come back to you tonight, you can go first and find a place to hide." Bai Yi seriously told him, "I have a way to save my life, understand?"

Ye Ming didn't understand.

Fortunately, this city is a new city, and there is no fixed class stratification. These people have all escaped from the big cities, and they are not very courageous. Seeing that Boyi is alone, he has a good attitude and even asks Boyi to drink water.

"I didn't see it." It was a woman who spoke. She was pushed by people to be the person in charge, with a dazed expression. When Bai Yi asked if he had seen a large group of people passing by recently, he shook his head, "If someone passes by, we will definitely find it."

It took them more than ten days, but they turned in the wrong direction and had to turn back and go south.

Along the way, Bai Yi saw a lot of cities, some big and some small, and some looked very big and rich, but many people were poorly clothed, hungry, walking on the road like walking corpses, or Open up wasteland in the surrounding fields.

But there are people who do nothing but eat and drink, and hang out with friends on the street.

When Bai Yi and Ye Ming went to the south, there was still no trace of Yan Ling and the others. When they came back to their senses, counting the time, three months had passed. Sometimes they would use the salt they brought to compare Change some food and water in a small city, because they are two big men, and Ye Ming still has a gun in his hand, so no one bothers them and dares to rob them.

Ye Ming was already a little desperate, he discussed with Bai Yi: "Why don't we go back first, maybe Brother Yan and the others have already gone back."

Bai Yi didn't know what to do anymore, he was rarely so dazed, he felt that the world was so big, Yan Ling and his group seemed too small, no matter how confident he was in Yan Ling, at this moment, he could no longer deceive himself .

"Go back." Bai Yi agreed with Ye Ming's suggestion.

Ye Ming heaved a sigh of relief, as time went by, Bai Yi's temper also changed, he no longer smiled, even if he had to smile to meet people, Ye Ming could still notice the impatience in his eyes.

Wearing stars and wearing stars, they had almost no time to breathe and rest along the way, and finally rushed back to the village.

Counting with their fingers, they left for more than half a year, and when they stepped into the village, the people around them had already greeted them.

Zheng Xue pushed away the people in front and said excitedly: "I was scared to death! You have been away for too long!"

"Brother Yan and the others have already returned. Brother Yan fell ill on the way."

Bai Yi hurried to Zheng Xue: "How is he doing now?"

Zheng Xue: "In the room, his health is getting worse and worse recently, you should go and have a look."

Some time ago, Yan Ling had a high fever. When she was taking care of Yan Ling, she could always hear Yan Ling calling Bai Yi's name in a daze. She, a bystander, felt deep sadness at that time. She didn't understand why men fall in love with men. , but she understands how painful it is for two people who love each other to lose each other.

Bai Yi pursed his lips tightly, and there was a bit of Yan Ling on his body: "Is life in danger?"

Zheng Xue didn't speak, she lowered her head in silence.

For a moment, Bai Yi felt chills all over his body, and his heart sank heavily, unable to reach the bottom.

But the more this happened, the calmer Bai Yi acted, he couldn't even force a smile, he kept walking forward, and even ran after walking.

Standing at the door of the room, looking at the door in front of him, Bai Yi suddenly felt great fear. His hand was on the doorknob, but he couldn't pull it for a long time.

Finally, he took a deep breath, suppressed the overwhelming fear, and opened the door.

The first time he opened the door, Bai Yi saw Yan Ling lying on the bed. Yan Ling's face was flushed. He was covered with a quilt, but his chest didn't rise and fall. Bai Yi's brain went blank, and he didn't know what to do. No, his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and he couldn't take a step.

Bai Yi: "...What the hell is going on?"

Yan Ling had never suffered from such a serious illness before, and he had never even suffered from a minor illness. The two of them had been together for five years, whether it was a headache, a cold or a fever, they were insulated from Yan Ling.

Zheng Xue explained: "They said that they started to get sick during the second month of going out. It was a small cold at first, and then it became more and more serious. They didn't dare to delay the treatment, so they had to go to Dacheng nearby... Things became troublesome , also came back last week."

When a person who never gets sick gets sick, it is like being overwhelmed by the disease.

"Brother Bai..." Zheng Xue's eyes were a little red, "Brother Yan kept calling your name when he was in a coma, please stay with him."

After saying this, Zheng Xue withdrew from the door, closing the door behind her when she left.

Only Bai Yi and Yan Ling were left in the room.

Bai Yi was at a loss, he stood there, not knowing whether he should advance or retreat, his brain seemed to have evaporated, and he couldn't think of anything.

He has never seen Yan Ling so weak. Yan Ling has always been strong and self-disciplined, and his taciturnity makes him more trustworthy, just like a mountain, as long as he is around, there is nothing to worry about.

But at this moment, this mountain is about to fall.

Bai Yi walked to the bed, he sat on the chair beside the bed, lifted the quilt with trembling hands, he realized for the first time that Yan Ling's skin was so pale, his face was flushed, but other parts were pale and bloodless.

"I'm back." Bai Yi's voice was trembling.

Yan Ling failed to respond to him.

His pale thin lips did not move.

For a moment, Bai Yi didn't know what to do or what to say, he slowly lowered his head, his forehead resting on the back of Yan Ling's hand, and there were water stains on the bed sheet.

This feeling was too unfamiliar to Bai Yi, he almost stopped thinking, and his face gradually turned pale.

He has medicine, but he is not a doctor, and without advanced medical equipment, he has no way of knowing what kind of disease Yan Ling has.

He suddenly felt regretful—maybe he should study medicine. If he was a doctor or had medical knowledge, he might be able to find out the cause of Yan Ling, at least he would have a direction to work on.

But now, he can't do anything, nothing.

A sense of powerlessness filled Bai Yi's whole body.

"What are you crying for?"

The voice was weak, very light.

Bai Yi raised his head suddenly, his eyes were red, his nose was red, his eyes were full of fear and deep sadness.

Yan Ling opened his eyes and looked at Bai Yi tenderly.

He was so weak, but he still kept his spirits up.

Bai Yi looked at him in confusion: "You are sick."

"There is no doctor here, will you die?"

Yan Ling suddenly smiled, he stretched out his hand, and Bai Yi quickly grabbed his hand.

"Don't be afraid." Yan Ling showed a smiling face, "You know, we will meet again."

Bai Yi froze there, he could clearly understand every word Yan Ling said, but he couldn't hear his meaning.

Yan Ling suddenly made a mouth shape. He couldn't say those two words, but he could make a mouth shape.

——"Zhang Li"

Yan Ling almost exhausted all his strength to let his palm touch Bai Yi's cheek, he let out a long sigh, as if he had waited long enough for this moment.

At this moment, Bai Yi's soul seemed to start to tremble. He felt that he was shaking, but in fact he sat firmly.

Yan Ling: "Just leave me a note when you leave..."

Bo Yi lowered his head, his shoulders were shaking.

Yan Ling's gaze began to slacken: "If you don't remember, maybe you can live a few more years."

"It's better to remember." Yan Ling held Bai Yi's hand, and the veins on his hand were bulging, "At least for so many years, I didn't wait in vain."

For so many years, he guarded that memory, and that disappeared person, he always hoped that Bai Yi did not leave him voluntarily, no matter what the reason was, he could accept it.

Bai Yi said with difficulty: "I didn't know that I would leave so suddenly, and I didn't know what to leave you."

"I didn't understand at that time..."

However, no matter how much he said, it seemed powerless at this time, and no matter what the reason was, it was like an excuse.

Yan Ling, or Zhang Li, looked at Bai Yi with lingering eyes. The young man with a cold temperament and the most clumsy tongue had changed, and Bai Yi missed all the time of his growth.

Zhang Li said: "Don't be sad, since I can remember, my body has been getting worse day by day."

"Next time, I don't know if I can remember."

Bai Yi didn't speak.

Zhang Li gasped for breath, his viscera were in uncontrollable pain now: "Will you go find me?"

Bai Yi pursed his lips tightly: "Yes."

Zhang Li: "If I treat you badly next time, don't be angry."

Bai Yi finally couldn't help it, tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, one after another.

Zhang Li wanted to reach out to wipe Bai Yi's tears, but he couldn't lift his hand, so he smiled helplessly.

"I will still fall in love with you next." Zhang Li's eyelids closed, and he half-closed his eyes, "Don't worry."

Zhang Li held Bai Yi's hand tightly: "I miss you so much."

In the past 28 years, he has been living in the past every day. He runs the company seriously, eats well, and maintains a healthy body. He just hopes that one day in the future, he and Bai Yi will meet again and he can take care of each other.

Even if the other party doesn't love him, he can pursue him again.

However, he didn't expect the reunion to be so short, and he hasn't been able to say a few more words or ask a few more things.

Zhang Li's eyes were pitch black, he couldn't see anything, he couldn't even hear the sound, as if his world was about to return to darkness.

But he could still feel the warmth of Boyi's palm holding him.

Zhang Li said with the last spirit: "I'm leaving, please kiss me."

He was like a coquettish child, with tears on Bai Yi's face, he approached Zhang Li, lowered his head, and kissed each other's lips, he kissed without any rules, tears flowed down Bai Yi's lips into Zhang Li's lips.

It's a salty kiss.

And Zhang Li couldn't give Bai Yi any response.

Zhang Li's breathing stopped.

At the last moment of his life, he recovered his original memory.

He said what he wanted to say but couldn't say all the time, and he left without regret or sadness.

He knew they would meet again.

Bai Yi's cell phone rang suddenly——

[The task is completed, and the transmission will be carried out in 10 minutes. 】

For the last 10 minutes, Bai Yi stayed by the bed.

He didn't know what the next world would be like, nor did he know what kind of people Zhang Li, Asa, Meng Ao and Yan Ling would become in the next world.

But his mood is very calm.

This is only a short separation, they will meet again.

Even if the other party doesn't remember anything, they will still fall in love with him in every world.

At the last second when the teleportation was about to start, Bai Yi lay down under the quilt and hugged the waist of the opponent's body.

He loves him.

Even if I don't know his name, I don't know his appearance.

But still remember his soul.

No matter where you meet, no matter what the circumstances.

He will eventually fall in love with him.

There are no exceptions.
