Qi Xiu didn't know how long he had run, but finally stopped because he had no strength on his legs and fell down with one foot. He had to stop and finally let go of the two people he was dragged by him.

Shen Ying and Yan Xun ran away, and the stomachs were turbulent. One knelt on the ground with his hands, and the other lying on the ground without regard for his image. His eyes were dark, and he was spinning and panting. The air in his chest was so painful that he wanted to take out his lungs. He prayed to God in his heart: My goodness, I didn't die in the killer's nest of Jiulilou, I almost broke it in the hands of this girl. If I run down, even a horse will be exhausted.

"Hey, you... are you looking for someone or running for your life." Shen Ying finally took a breath and couldn't help but say something to her.

Qi Xiu was also tired and pale. He wiped the man on his face and said weakly: "Escape from your life and find someone." He said with confidence.

"Puff...hahahaha!" Yan Xun had just calmed down, and was amused by her words to make her stomach hurt. Shen Ying frowned, but still couldn't help it. It was the first time in her life that she was angry and laughed.

Qi Xiu didn't know why he was so happy, so he looked at him blankly, and waited until he almost smiled before asking, "Where is Qianfan?"

When the two of them heard this, the smile on their faces gradually condensed and disappeared.

"Xiaoxiuzi, how much do you remember about Qianfan?" Yan Xun asked.

Qi Xiu shook her head and knew nothing. In fact, she didn't even know whether Qianfan was personally.

"Then what are you looking for Qianfan?"

Qi Xiu thought about it and continued to shake her head, "I don't know, I'm looking for him." It seemed as if this was her innate instinct.

Yan Xun thought about it, changed into a kind smile, and said, "Qianfan said that no one can reveal his whereabouts unless he finds him himself. This is the case, you can tell me a place based on your feelings, let's go find it together?"

"Um... then let's go there!" Qi Xiu raised his hand and pointed in one direction.

Yan Xun stopped the smile on his face and looked at Shen Ying, who shook his head gently.

"Since you pointed there, then you can lead the way." Yan Xun said.

Qi Xiu nodded and walked forward based on his feelings. Shen Ying deliberately opened some distance and said to Yan Xun quickly: "You are crazy! Let her go there!"

Yan Xun sighed, and a hint of hesitation flashed across his face, but it only lasted for a moment. "The reason I asked her that was because I thought she could find another direction at will, but who knew she..." He sighed and did not say anything.

Shen Ying still felt that it was inappropriate, "That should be stopped. Look at her now, it would be strange if she doesn't see that thing now. Once something goes wrong, Brother Qianfan will really not be able to rest in peace!"

Yan Xun looked at the green figure worriedly, and his heart was both complicated and helpless. Of course, he knew that Qi Xiu might not be able to accept the facts, but if he could hide it for a while, how could he hide it for a lifetime? Besides, in her heart, she never forgot Li Qianfan. Otherwise, she would not have run so fast or so anxious.

He had never seen a person running so fast, using his strength to even bet on his life. Li Qianfan had a spirit in the sky, so he should be relieved to see this scene.

"She will have to accept it sooner or later. No one can force her to forget or remember anything. She has been in Jiuli Tower for so long, I believe Zhu Yunjiu must have deliberately avoided everything that reminds her of Qianfan, but what is the result?" Even though she didn't know what Qianfan was and why she was looking for her, she still inquired day after day.

Yan Xun shrugged, not knowing whether it was sad or happy, "I promised Qianfan to take good care of her, but now, it's not that I give her a life of food and clothing, even if I take good care of her. Don't you understand Ying, Qianfan is not just a person to her now, but her obsession and mission."

"What's more,..." A cold light shot out from Yan Xun's eyes, "I have selfish intentions. Qianfan doesn't allow me to avenge him. Yes, but Xiaoxiuzi cannot recognize the thief as his mother."

"He was originally her mother..." Shen Ying murmured in a low voice.

"Yes." Yan Xun's pupil became darker, "She is Xiao Xiuzi's mother, but she is also the one who killed Qianfan. Xiao Xiuzi remembered Qianfan's affairs, and if I recognize this mother again, I would never say anything. But now, it's too early for her to scream."

Two hours later, Qi Xiu stood at the foot of a mountain, staring at the not-so-high mountain not far away, and murmured: "Strange... I seem to... have been here."

Yan Xun stood behind her and his eyes flashed, "Go back, there is no way to go up the mountain."

Qi Xiu shook her head thoughtfully, "No, no, there is a road. It should be..." She rubbed her temples for a while, and her eyes lit up, "Waterfall! It's on the other side of the waterfall!" After saying that, without waiting for the two of them to follow, she jogged towards the waterfall. When she got closer, she waved excitedly to Yanxun and Shen Ying: "There is really a road here!"

Compared to her excitement, Shen Ying and Yan Xun were more nervous and worried. Especially Shen Ying, who was hoping that she could remember what she could remember. When the matter was about to come, she didn't dare to really remind her of them all. She hurried over and grabbed her, "It's going to be dark, let's come again next time."

"No." Qi Xiu shook her hand away, turned around and ran up the mountain, and soon ran away.

"Why are you still standing there?" Shen Ying rushed to Yanxun in a panic and called out, stomped her feet and chased after him.

The three of them walked up the mountain in the afterglow of the setting sun. Qi Xiu didn't say anything along the way, but stopped from time to time, looking around, dazed and thoughtful.

The clouds in the sky seemed like a waterfall falling from the sky, falling into the crabapple forest on the top of the mountain, rushing out a fiery red, and the waves rolled over their eyes and burned into their hearts.

Qi Xiu stopped slightly and slowly looked at the corner of Haitanglin. A blurry scene suddenly appeared in front of him.

On the empty ground, there seemed to be a barefoot girl standing, staring at the clouds all over the sky. Not far behind her, a back with something in her hands was quietly looking at her.

The scene flashed before her eyes, and Qi Xiu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. The weeping crabapple flowers and leaves intertwined, blocking her view. Through the light and shadow of nothingness, she saw the girl slowly turn around, running and smiling and pounce on the man's arms.

Something brightened in the abyss under the sea of ​​consciousness, and a deep and gentle voice suddenly rushed into my mind.

——From the future, these hands, this heart, this embrace, this arms, Li Qianfan and the rest of his life were all Axiu.

A Xiu... is talking about her? This voice is so familiar... Qi Xiu couldn't help but caress her chest, and a hint of shyness and tension, as well as an indescribable sweet and warmth in her heart.

Before she could think about it carefully, the scene and sound suddenly disappeared. The familiar feeling in Qi Xiu's heart also disappeared without a trace, and there seemed to be something missing in her chest, passing through the crabapple forest in a daze.

In my eyes is a thick ginkgo tree, under the golden branches and leaves, a swing is quietly hanging in the air.

The wind blew, and the swing swayed gently, and two figures appeared in front of me. One girl was on the swing sway, and the other was standing on one side, pushing the swing that was about to stop from time to time.

While she was having fun, the man went to the back of the courtyard. Before she could stay for a long time, the sound of greeting the girl to eat came from. The table of food was eaten by the girl. After a loud burp, he naturally raised his face. The man was both funny and doting and wiped the rice and vegetable soup on the corners of her mouth.

Qi Xiu couldn't help but touch the corner of his lips. Is that man who smiled beautifully Qianfan?

A few sheep bleated from behind the house. Qi Xiu ran over and saw a little fat sheep tied to a fence made of bamboo joints. She bleated several times when she saw her coming. Next to the collapsed well platform not far away, there were ducks singing in a small earthen house three feet long and two feet tall. Qi Xiu walked forward a few steps forward, and a girl squatting on the ground, humming a cheerful tone while concentrating on building the earthen house.

Where is Qianfan? Since that "Qixiu" is here, what is he doing at this time?

Qi Xiu rubbed his head and tried hard to explore the fragmented memories in the abyss of the sea of ​​consciousness, vaguely remembering that the "Qianfan" at that time seemed to be in the yard in front.

Bypassing the half-collapsed well platform, Qi Xiu walked along the bluestone path to the front yard. "Qi Xiu" was already there, and "Qi Fan" seemed to be going down the mountain. "Qi Xiu" had a forced smile on his face, pretending to be sensible and said that he could be alone, and he stayed on the mountain and waited for him to come back.

"Qianfan" had a doting smile as usual on the corner of her lips, and gently shaved her nose.

——I will be back soon, so before I come back, A Xiu is not allowed to go anywhere.

——Come on, hug.

The same voice, from under the crabapple forest on the top of the mountain, from outside the wall of Jiuli Building, overlapped with different times, as if a long tune that floated from a distance from time to time, dispelled the mist and darkness that covered her eyes, and suddenly rushed into the abyss of her sea of ​​consciousness.

The gate that sealed the memory collapsed, and the messy, forgotten fragments rushed out like huge waves in the vast land, almost suffocating her.

Before parting, he gave her a doting, warm hug as usual, and swore to tell her that she would come to find her. When she rode her horse back, she saw him lying alone on the cold ground.

The sky that night was as dark as ink, but his eyes were as bright as the galaxy. Nothing in the world could be brighter than these eyes.

Her sails are more proud than the eagles above the sky, stronger than the fierce horses on the grassland, and tougher than the flying swallows on the cliff. His eyes are as bright as stars, no matter how big the wind, frost, rain and snow have been experienced, they are always clear and sharp, and have never been stained with haze. He will always live as hard and serious as he lives, even if his life is hanging on a thread, he will try his best to save himself, and live tenaciously and stubbornly until the moment he has to die.

It is precisely this way that he has become her now, who is no longer so bad, no longer afraid of the past, no longer has hope for the future, and no longer regarded as a "fool".

Above her head, Li Qianfan is her heaven, supporting her world.

She never thought that those eyes would close, just like she didn't believe that the stars in the sky would fall.

How can the stars fall?

Unless the sky collapses.

Qi Xiu shook his body, and Shen Ying stepped forward to support her, "How are you?" He couldn't help but be shocked when he saw her.

Her face was neither sad nor happy, her eyes were clear but empty, and tears kept pouring out of such eyes. Each one seemed to carry a small amount of her soul. When the tears flowed out, she really became a body.

"Where is Qianfan?" Qi Xiu heard his voice as if it was floating from the sky. After that, he didn't know what Shen Ying said, but after her mind regained her concentration, she had already arrived at the back mountain.

A lonely grave stood in front of him, and there was a copper sword that was not very new on the ground next to the tombstone.

The master said that after the death of a person, he did not leave, but went to the sky, overlooking the world, protecting the people he wanted to protect. Qi Xiu's eyelashes trembled, and he couldn't help but look up at the sky. A few extremely bright stars appeared vaguely, like Qianfan's eyes.

Could it be him? Qi Xiu squatted down slowly and gently pressed his face on the tombstone, just like he hid in Li Qianfan's arms countless times in the past.

Once upon a time, this person could hold him in his arms and warm him on a cold winter night. She could not understand why such a living person ended up becoming a rigid and hard stone tablet?

The tombstone was so cold that the hot June day could not warm her heart at all.

She had heard a saying before, "There is no greater sorrow than death in the heart, and she didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at that time. At this moment, she finally realized it with the cold tombstone.

Perhaps it is the clear water and blue sky, the flowers and willows are green, and they all turn gray when they fall into their eyes. There are so many things that make people happy in the world, but nothing can please her anymore.

I originally thought she would seek death or yelling to take revenge, and no matter how bad she was, she would have to cry and turn the world upside down. For this reason, Yan Xun and Shen Ying had already put away everything that might hurt her and stayed with her without leaving a single step.

Unexpectedly, they were wrong. Qi Xiu was calm and as if nothing had happened, without crying, making a fuss, and seeking death, and without the intention of taking revenge.

She just sat on the tombstone next to Li Qianfan, from dark to dawn, from dawn to dawn, without saying a word, as if she had become a soulless corpse.

Until the morning of the fourth day, when the sky was dark, Qi Xiu's eyes suddenly trembled.

A golden light passed through the horizon in the distance, placing a layer of light on her dim pupils. She sat upright slightly, staring at the beam of light getting closer to the horizon without blinking, and then, the empty and unsightly pupils seemed to come alive. After a while, Qi Xiu suddenly supported himself and ran to the crabapple forest quickly. That speed was comparable to when he escaped from Jiuli Tower that day.

The shoes were running away because she was running too fast and the stones were stuck on her feet. She seemed to have not realized it, running barefoot all the way towards the sunshine, and finally arrived at the begonia forest before the dazzling light spreads all over the sky.

The wind blew the clouds in the sky to both sides, revealing the distant horizon, as if welcoming a grand ceremony to come. Qi Xiu's eyes kept staring at countless fine spots of light rising from the distant sea of ​​clouds, gathering into an increasingly dazzling brilliance, like a huge bulging ball, jumping in the sky and suddenly jumping out of the place where the sky and earth meet.

In an instant, the golden light rushed towards the sky around it, crossed the rivers, leaping across mountains and rivers, houses, crowds, streets, alleys, trees, valleys, birds... Everything in the world was instantly sprinkled with a layer of bright and dazzling gold, just like a god descending.

Qi Xiu stood barefoot in the crabapple forest, from hair to feet, her whole body was golden. Feng'er picked up her clothes and danced happily. From a distance, she looked like she was about to turn into an immortal facing the morning sun.

A scent of food came from behind him, and Qi Xiu's eyes suddenly appeared. He turned around slowly, and quietly disappeared when he saw the visitor.

Yan Xun saw that she was not going to eat or drink for three days, so she went down the mountain to buy some of her favorite food. As soon as she went up the mountain, she saw her coming to the begonia forest to watch the sunrise. When she saw her eyes blindly, she didn't make a sound to disturb her. Unexpectedly, she still noticed her existence.

"Xiaoxiu, let's have a meal." Yan Xun tried hard to smile, and then winked at Shen Ying not far away. The latter quickly responded and said, "It's great, I'm hungry, what are you eating today?"

"There are green pepper meat rolls, beef buns, milky crispy cheese, steamed jujube flower cake, fried fruit... Oh, there are a lot of them anyway."

"It's all Qi Xiu's favorite food!" Shen Ying said quietly and glanced at Qi Xiu.

Qi Xiu looked at them expressionlessly for a while, and only when he heard the fruits frying, there seemed to be a slight flash in his eyes. He nodded, and just took a step and felt a pain in his feet. He couldn't help frowning and lifted his feet back.

Yan Xun saw her standing barefoot on the ground, and immediately turned his face awkwardly, "Little sleeves, the ground is cold."

Qi Xiu looked at the ground, then Yan Xun, nodded and said two words: "The feet were cold." After she said this, she looked at them openly.
To be continued...
