Follow up(1/2)
If life could only repeat itself on one day, which day would you choose?
--I don't care, as long as I'm in love with you any day.
If the world ended tomorrow, how would you spend today?
--I don't care, as long as you're still by my side when the world falls apart
Zhong Yuxi woke up from a coma, surrounded by the sound of footsteps, and soldiers in dark green military uniforms walking back and forth outside the camp.
She moved her stiff body. Although the wound on her leg had been bandaged again, she still felt pain from time to time.
She gritted her teeth and sat up. Due to the sudden exertion, her vision became a little dark. She leaned on the simple cot and sat for a while, waiting for the dizziness to pass.
There was still artillery fire outside, and the smell of gunpowder smoke could be smelled from afar.
She struggled to get out of bed, but when her feet touched the ground, her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.
A pair of strong arms grabbed her arm and supported her in time. She raised her head in surprise, and the face in front of her was the same as Xiaofeng's but not Xiaofeng's.
"Where is Xiaofeng?" She excitedly grabbed his arm and shook it: "Tell me, where is Xiaofeng?"
Xiao Jue pulled her onto the bed without saying a word, lowering her dark eyes.
The last thing Zhong Yuxi wanted to see was his expression like this, which was a kind of sad despair. Her heart seemed to be thrown into a bottomless black hole, falling quickly and violently.
"Why don't you speak, Xiao Feng?" She shook him desperately with red eyes, her messy hair hanging on her shoulders, as if she wanted to shake Xiao Jue's soul out.
"Dead." Xiao Jue suddenly said so loudly that the wind outside seemed to be shaken by his voice, whirling around the window and blowing away again.
Dead?
Zhong Yuxi muttered twice, then suddenly pushed Xiao Jue away, without even bothering to put on her shoes, she opened the door and ran out.
"Zhong Yuxi, you're crazy, where are you going?" Xiao Jue hurriedly chased after her.
Zhong Yuxi didn't seem to hear, and ran towards what happened just now, nodding without looking back.
"Crazy woman, with such a big explosion, all the people on the ship would have been dead. Moreover, I have sent people to salvage the entire Tranquility Sea."
Xiaojue grabbed her hand from behind, and she broke away with all her strength and continued running forward.
"Zhong Yuxi." Xiao Jue shouted sharply and locked her into his arms. She yelled and cursed and beat him. He hugged him tightly and shouted: "A Feng is dead, you accept this fact.
Well, do you think you are the only one who is sad?"
"No, he won't die. He promised me that he will come back." Zhong Yuxi bit him on the arm. He felt pain and pushed her away. She stumbled and stabilized her body.
Like a spring, it bounces forward again.
"If you want to accompany him, you can go." Xiao Jue shouted angrily behind her, punching the tree branch next to her, and the sharp bark caused several bloody wounds on the back of his hand.
Come, he didn't know the pain and stared at the stubborn back in front of him.
He was the same, searching for him like crazy, but he searched the entire bay, but no one was found alive or dead. He felt pain in his heart, and the pain was so painful that he was almost numb.
But this woman, she slept all day and all night, but when she woke up she refused to accept the bad news. She was so stubborn and made him angry. He could hardly stand it any longer, yet she still wanted to cause trouble for him. He was Xiao Fengliu.
As the most precious thing in the world, he must protect her.
Zhong Yuxi didn't look back and stepped through the bushes with one foot deep and one shallow.
While Xiao Jue was angry, an inexplicable hope suddenly surged in her heart. If this woman's persistence was right...
He ran to catch up with her, not far behind but not too close behind her.
Beyond this quiet bay, there is an open seaway, with hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, and several rivers extending into this seaway, all stretching towards the sea.
Zhong Yuxi and Xiao walked for who knows how long. Finally, she couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed on the dry hard ground. After just taking a rest, she struggled to get up again.
Seeing her falling down and getting up again and again, Xiao Jue walked over impatiently and pulled her onto his back.
"Zhong Yuxi, I will go crazy with you."
Zhong Yuxi let him carry her, her eyes wide open.
We walked forward along one of the rivers until the sun was setting to the west. When we were about to give up at night, suddenly a small fishing village loomed out of the white mist in the evening.
She reminded him loudly: "There is a village ahead."
"Saw it."
Xiao Jue carried her into the village. It was called a village, but it only contained five or six households. Everyone lived at the foot of the mountain and by the river, and made a living by farming and fishing.
Zhong Yuxi hurriedly climbed off his back, her steps so fast that she didn't look like an injured person at all.
A naked child squatted at the door and played, as if he had found something rare, giggling from time to time.
Zhong Yuxi walked over and was about to ask, when her eyes suddenly fell on the object in his hand.
Although it has obviously changed its shape after being soaked in water, the pattern on it has not faded at all.
A redbud flower is in full bloom, and its color is brighter than the sunset in the distance.
She grabbed it in her hand, her voice trembling.
"Where did this come from?"
The little boy's things were robbed, and he burst out crying.
Zhong Yuxi stamped her feet anxiously, "Where did this come from?"
"A Bao, what's wrong?" A woman walked out of the house and was startled when she saw the stranger suddenly arriving outside. She immediately went over and patted her son on the back, "A Bao, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
"Sister-in-law." Zhong Yuxi grabbed her hand like crazy and eagerly raised the mobile phone chain: "Where does this come from? Please tell me."
The sister-in-law was stunned for a moment, turned back and pointed at the house and said: "Yes..."
Zhong Yuxi and Xiao Jue were overjoyed at the same time. Before she could finish her words, they rushed into the house one after another under the surprised look of the woman.
There was a person lying upright on the simple wooden bed. The bed was right next to the window. The red color of the setting sun fell on his pale face through the glass on the window. His eyes were closed, his lips were chapped, and his head was wrapped with hair.
Rough gauze.
Zhong Yuxi's steps suddenly stopped in front of him, her expressions were mixed, her hands were tightly holding the skirt of her clothes, and her clothes, which were stained with dust from the rush, were wrinkled.
At this time, Xiao Jue was relatively calm, so she walked over and checked his nose, and exhaled: "He's still alive."
He is still alive, what about him?
Zhong Yuxi seemed to be nailed to the ground, her eyes slowly moved away from his face.
After a long while, she walked over and stretched out her hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
Xuanyuan Night....
Xuanyuan Night...
She glanced at Xiao Jue, who was already calling for help.
She turned around and walked out with heavy steps.
She should be happy that Xuanyuan Ye is not dead, but she can't deceive herself. She hopes that both of them are alive, even if one of them is missing.
"Zhong Yuxi, where are you going?" Xiao Jue called from behind.
"I'll go find him."
"Aren't you still giving up?" He was angry. After walking so far, here is already the mouth of the river, and in front of him is the vast ocean. If he is washed into the sea, there is no hope of living.
"He won't die. If he dies..." Zhong Yuxi clenched the chain in her hand: "I will accompany him."
There was a crunching sound outside the door, and something fell on the solid cement floor and broke.
Zhong Yuxi raised her head sharply.
In the halo of the setting sun, he was wearing simple old-fashioned clothes, but they could not hide his tall body. In the colorful and magnificent sunset, his body was lightly enveloped in the holy glow. He just stood there casually, letting go.
Heaven and earth are inferior to it.
Those red sunset lights seemed to be rolling deeper into the sky, so his figure got closer and closer.
Although the distance was only a short distance, Zhong Yuxi felt as if she was on the edge of a dream. She didn't dare to move, even a slight gasp, for fear of shattering this beautiful dream.
"Uncle, the bowl is broken." The childish reminder from the little boy at the door made Zhong Yuxi almost run away and throw herself into his arms.
Such a familiar body temperature, such a familiar fragrance, she would never let go again.
His hands were trembling as if he couldn't believe it, and he wanted to hug her, but stopped in the air.
"Xixi, am I not dreaming?" He hugged her slowly but firmly with an unbelievable surprise on his face.
Zhong Yuxi burst into tears and just stood on her tiptoes a little higher, trying to get closer to his arms.
"Madman...madman...my madman..."
"Xixi...Xixi..."
The two people hugged each other tightly, and just for a moment, they felt like they lasted forever.
Xiao Jue looked at the two people quietly, a relieved and cheerful smile finally appeared on his lips. He looked at the clouds on the horizon and felt the splendor of this moment.
After a long time, he turned his eyes back. Xuanyuan Ye on the bed didn't know when he had woken up. Although his smile had a hint of bitterness, it was a sincere smile.
In the evening, the people from Xiaojue arrived, drove more than a dozen cars, and lined up in front of these small houses. The villagers of Gupu came out excitedly to watch the fun and surrounded the corner tree.
