From the moment he opened his eyes, he felt like an empty vessel.
No memories, no emotions, no thoughts.
Nothing at all.
I waited until I saw the tall and thin figure standing in front of the locker.
He was leaning sideways, with black hair and a cool white complexion. The upturned arcs of the eyes were outlined by his eyes hanging down. The street lights outside the corridor came in, casting a shadow on the clear profile of the man.
The extreme black and white colors made his pupils dilate slightly.
This is the first picture left in his memory since he opened his eyes, a negative of the beginning of his world view.
At that time, he had no concept of such things as appearance and appearance. A thousand people have a thousand identical faces, but the face in front of him has a new color.
"Look at what?"
The man looked at him sideways, not only the voice, but the whole person was very clean.
Unfamiliar language, unclear semantics, can't understand, can't express, can only grab all the information available, imitate that person, and said: "What are you looking at?"
In the restaurant, someone knocked him over while passing by. Turning around, the woman stared at him vigilantly and displeased, and whispered to her companion: "Who is this person? He doesn't even have a name. , are you a fool..."
"I don't know, maybe it's human or not. All in all, it's better to be careful and stay away from him... He didn't do anything to you just now, did he?"
"It's okay, even if he has a wicked heart, in public, forgive him for not being so brave..."
He stood in the center with the plate in his hand, looked around and saw other people looking at him quietly.
They sat around, pointed at him, and erected an invisible barrier called "denial".
At that time, he was thinking, what is the essence of human beings
bias. indifferent. selfish.
Randomly defining others is also a manifestation of prejudice, and he carried this prejudice until a little later...
Everyone fled in a hurry in the corridor, he stood motionless by the wall, watching the female ghost float around under his eyes, bored to the point of disgust.
Suddenly, his hand was grabbed, that hand was slender and strong, with human body temperature, strange but not annoying.
Looking at the opposite wall, still in a daze, the whole person was dragged away.
His game, from then on.
What is the essence of human beings
Like the warmth of the sun, the clarity of a river, and the sparkle of the sea in summer.
"If it wasn't for Gu Meng, I would have been eliminated in the first game." Enjin withdrew from her memories, looked at the dull man on the opposite side at close range, and said softly, "You are so valuable, not useless." Yes, you are really handsome who work equally hard no matter for yourself or for others."
Then, the topic changed, and the voice also lowered: "But in my heart... I don't like Gu Meng's attention on others, just look at me."
Gu Meng was in a trance, and could only hear half of what she said. She focused all her attention on the soft touch left on her lips, showing a bit cramped and jerky.
At that time Enjin leaned over, completely unprepared, now when he thought about what happened and saw Enjin's overly pretty lips, he felt...
His face was on fire with a "boom", and his head was dizzy and crumbling.
"Zai... Zai..." Gu Meng stammered, feeling that everything was messed up and couldn't get better, so she covered her hot cheeks, "Why... why did you suddenly..."
Because it was too unexpected, it became disorienting.
Seeing his flustered look, Enjin blinked, but her heart was very calm. After waiting for a long time before hearing what he said behind her, Enjin held his chin again with her slender hand, and said, "Why do you mean..."
Gu Meng had no choice but to look at him, looking at the man who had become a little strange because of a kiss, swallowed her cigarette, and nodded slowly.
"Why did you suddenly praise you?" Enjin said it as a matter of course, "Because it's something I've always wanted to express, and I just found a chance to say it."
Gu Meng's shyness was extinguished, and she said awkwardly: "...No."
After thinking about it, he repeated without words: "It doesn't mean this."
"What does that mean?"
Enjin asked with a ignorant and calm expression.
"… nothing."
Gu Meng was fully awake, the familiar formula, the familiar Enjin, all the ambiguous atmosphere was blown away.
Xindao: To Enjin, that might not mean anything, just like a kindergarten kid who would hug his face and chew two mouthfuls when he got excited.
Feeling relieved and at the same time a little depressed.
You can't play hooligans just because you are a fool!
At this time, he didn't realize it at all. He usually looked at Enjin as a child who didn't grow up, but now he wanted him to behave like an adult.
Enjin has been observing Gu Meng's expression, and saw that he drooped his eyelids resentfully, and wrapped the quilt in front of him again, his warm and beautiful face was still scarred, disappointed and unhappy.
Wrong word.
With an idea, he came to his senses and said in a soft voice, "I want to ask why I kissed you suddenly?"
Gu Meng's heart trembled, her eyes lit up, and she immediately raised her head to look at him, the expression she forgot to hide could almost be called anticipation.
Seeing his reaction, Enjin only felt cute in her heart, and wanted to kiss him again for a while.
Just then, there was a knock on the guest room door.
Gu Meng was startled, and immediately pushed the man in front of her away. Because of her guilty conscience, she didn't control her strength well, and almost pushed En Jin under the bed.
After Bo Ye symbolically knocked on the door twice, he led Tang Zhi to push the door open and entered. He took a flashlight and looked forward, and saw Enjin half body hanging by the bed, with one hand supporting the ground, Gu Meng huddled in the corner of the bed, covered her body with the quilt from her hood, revealing only a white and wounded face with panicked eyes.
The situation is very strange.
"..." Bo Ye asked, "Is it too late to quit now?"
"No! No!" Gu Meng wrapped the quilt tightly, shaking her head like a rattle, "It's just in time!"
The overly enthusiastic tone can not help but raise suspicion.
Enjin turned over from the bed, straightened up and patted the ashes on her hands, looked at Bao Ye and said, "What's the matter?"
"Because..." Bo Ye pulled his hand, but didn't pull it, and turned around strangely.
Behind him, Tang Zhi resisted, raised his eyelids to look at him very quickly, and then lowered them as if to escape.
Not ordinary stubbornness.
"What did you just say?" Bo Ye said with a helpless smile, "Candi, it's not that difficult to apologize."
Gu Meng sat on the corner of the bed, looked at Bo Ye, and then glanced at Tang Zhi behind him, feeling a little surprised.
He thought that after breaking up with the couple, he would not see each other for a long time, but he didn't expect them to come to visit at night and apologize...
Thinking of this, a blush crept up on his face, and he turned his face away under the quilt, coughing uncomfortably.
Enjin understood their reason for coming, and seeing Bo Ye made a gesture to him, she was ready to go out, leaving time for the two who were at odds.
When passing by Tang Zhi, Enjin squinted at him, lowered her gorgeous voice, and said, "Don't get too close to him, or..."
"Why did you talk to your sister-in-law Ye?" Before he could finish speaking, Bo Ye slapped him on the back of the head, and said three words lightly, "Uneducated."
Immediately afterwards, the person was dragged away.
When the door was closed, Tang Zhi had no choice but to look away, turned his head, and looked calmly at Gu Meng who was still huddled in the corner of the bed.
Gu Meng was slightly embarrassed by him, shrank her legs, and the whole group became tighter: "That..."
He couldn't stand being subdued by others the most in his life, and Tang Zhi was so angry that his heart, liver and lungs hurt everywhere, but now seeing him come to apologize, seven points of resentment and three points of sadness buried in his heart miraculously disappeared.
"I didn't really care, it's just..." Because Tang Zhi didn't speak for a long time, Gu Meng had no choice but to break the silence first, lowered her head, clasped her knees under the quilt with one hand, and said, "If there is something really wrong, it's because of your words Too hurtful... "
"I won't apologize."
The clear young voice said coldly.
"..."
Gu Meng looked up at Tang Zhi, and the emotions that had just been brewed were instantly extinguished.
"Damn it..." He knocked his head back on the wooden wall, rolled his eyes, and cursed softly, "Damn child."
Gu Meng rolled off the quilt, lifted it up and spread it flat, covered her body, and lay down again.
"Oh, I didn't want to hear your apology." After adjusting to a comfortable state, he said in a cold tone, "Even if you apologize, you won't accept it."
Tang Zhi stood still in the room, with his hands in his jacket pockets, his chin in his mouth, his small face kept digging into the collar of his coat, and he bit the collar and rubbed it lightly.
"You can go." Gu Meng glanced at him, "I'm sleeping."
Tang Zhi looked back at the door, shook his head, and said, "You can't go out too soon, Bo Ye won't believe my apology, and then he will lecture me again."
"..." Gu Meng almost laughed angrily, the young master really confessed unexpectedly, pulled up the quilt to cover his head, and said in a muffled voice, "It's up to you."
Tang Zhi glanced at him, put his hands in his coat pockets, swayed over step by step, and sat down on the bed next to him.
Stretching one long leg, he said without beginning or end, "You guys were just playing with each other, right?"
"!!!"
Gu Meng's whole body froze, only her eyes were turning left and right, her face was hot from what he said, and she hid under the quilt without moving.
Pretend you're not online.
"It's useless to say that I'm dragging everyone down..." Tang Zhi shrugged indifferently without hearing his reply, and didn't realize the lethality of what he said. He shook his stretched legs and continued to take care of himself. Go on, "Then you fell silent, and you talked again after a while, but the voice was so soft that you couldn't hear it at all."
During the nearly ten seconds after the sound disappeared, Tang Zhi naturally thought about that direction. Although he was not sure, he had a premonition that something ambiguous happened in eight out of ten.
"You two!" Gu Meng couldn't listen anymore, and couldn't pretend, she lifted the quilt and looked at the person sitting on the opposite bed. She didn't know if she was suffocated in the quilt, or she was in high spirits, and her face was flushed red. , "If eavesdropping is a crime, you two would have been jailed long ago!"
"Say it as if you don't break the law. You and Enjin should be advanced prison people..." Tang Zhi pulled his hands out of his pockets and leaned back on the bed. A little unnaturally red, but still pretending to be nothing, raised his chin, and said, "Did I hit the mark?"
"Aren't you sleepy in the middle of the night? If you don't want to sleep, I still have to sleep." Gu Meng glanced at the clock on the wall indiscriminately, half annoyed and half shy to drive away the guests, "Okay, it's almost time, you go out now It should be fine, Bo Ye won't doubt it."
Tang Zhi tilted his head and looked at him, then changed the topic: "No one said you are useless, do you have too many associations?"
Gu Meng was stunned for a moment, then looked back at him blankly, changed the subject without warning, and couldn't keep up with the young man's train of thought.
"By the way, you're not as miserable as you say..." Tang Zhi turned his face towards the head of the bed, the bright moonlight shone on his delicate facial features, and the red tear mole showed a strange tenderness, "In When we were on campus, no one insisted on protecting Enjin except you. If Enjin was kicked out of the game, there would be chaos later on. Bo Ye and I couldn't pass the level so smoothly. To be friends with an incredibly kind person like you I'm a little worried at first, it's so soft, it's easy to die... "
"Hey!" Gu Meng had to interrupt him, protesting dissatisfiedly, "Are you trying to start a war?"
Tang Zhi glanced at him sideways, then stared at the wall in front of him and continued: "But later I found out that your vitality was unexpectedly tenacious. In the hospital, even if you went to a terrible place by yourself, you could still calmly send out a distress signal, and then escaped. Come back, this kind of thing... ordinary people can't do it, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to escape the game so quickly."
"I don't know if the gods especially favor people with your personality. You always have a kind of wonderful good luck, and you can often save yourself from danger." After thinking for a while, I finally came to a conclusion, "With you, Bo Ye, En Jin and I will also become very at ease, so how can I be a useless person? Things are not what you imagined at all, you don’t need to feel sad because of your character, kindness, peace, tolerance, these are qualities that shine like gems , I would have said it was useless at that time... It was entirely because I was too angry that I couldn't choose what to say."
Tang Zhi was silent for a moment, glanced at him, and whispered, "Can you forgive me?"
Gu Meng didn't answer for a long time, she lay on her side on the bed, buried her head, curled up slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Tang Zhi thought he didn't hear it, and was about to raise the volume to ask again, when he heard Gu Meng calmly say, "Didn't you say you won't apologize?"
"..." Tang Zhi sat upright, raised his precious little face, and said stubbornly, "Begging for forgiveness is not the same as apologizing."
"Yeah." Gu Meng said, "Others apologize first before asking for forgiveness, you just skip the intermediate steps."
Tang Zhi pursed his lips and stopped talking.
"I didn't feel sad because of what you said." There was silence in the room for a few seconds, Gu Meng pulled up the quilt, the scars on her face were very obvious against the white complexion, and there were three blood marks on Tang Zhinuo, but Without compromising his beautiful and gentle appearance, after Tang Zhi spoke the truth, he had nothing to hide, pouring out all the unhappiness in his heart, "If you want sweet and sour pork ribs, I will cook them for you. I never put chili in my sauerkraut fish. In the game, if something happens to you and Bo Ye, I always worry about it. In the end...you said you would get rid of me with your own hands, and raised this kind of White-eyed wolf, who can not be sad?"
"..."
At the end of the day, Tang Zhi almost forgot to say this if he hadn't reminded him.
Gu Meng wrapped herself tightly with the quilt, like a silkworm chrysalis, and said with deep resentment: "Although I know you only have Bo Ye in your eyes, at least you should not take other people's sincerity seriously."
"I know... I know." Tang Zhi hung his head, swayed his feet left and right, was ashamed by what he said, and defended himself in a low voice, "I didn't mean the truth, why did you..."
"It doesn't matter whether it's true or not!" Gu Meng glanced at him and said seriously, "Some words are only suitable for thinking in the heart, and if you say it, you will lose your friendship."
Tang Zhi: "I don't think so in my heart."
After talking about the matter, both of them felt a lot more relaxed, and the room fell into silence again.
There was a breeze outside the window, the cedar forest was rustling, and the moon was bright and clear tonight, shining obliquely into the window, adorning the two people in the room.
Gu Meng wanted to say that it was getting late, and asked him if he wanted to take a break, and just said a syllable: "You..."
As a result, Tang Zhi spoke one step faster than him: "Have you kissed Enjin?"
Gu Meng: "... you go, okay?"
Facing those clear and innocent eyes, Gu Meng sincerely suspected that he did it on purpose.
In the corridor outside the guest room on the first floor, Bo Ye and Enjin stood facing each other against a wall.
"What's your opinion on Candi recently?" Bo Ye adjusted his stance, changed his center of gravity, and leaned back against the wall again, feeling strange, "How did he mess with you again?"
Enjin's expression was flat, showing no emotion: "He not only made Gu Meng sad, but also hurt Gu Meng."
"Hmm..." Bo Ye raised his hand and scratched the bridge of his nose, instantly losing confidence, "Candi is sometimes extreme, but she doesn't mean anything maliciously, so please be more patient."
Enjin: "When you say this, it's like the parent of a bear child saying that the child is too young and ignorant, so you let him be more."
"..." Bo Ye couldn't refute, and quickly changed the topic, "Cough... because of this?"
"Some things I didn't pay attention to before, but now that I think about them, I can't ignore them." Enjin fell into memory, listing them one by one, "Candi wanted to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, so Gu Meng cooked sweet and sour pork ribs for him. He said he didn't want spicy food. Gu Meng never puts chili peppers in the pickled fish, and Gu Meng will always agree to Candi's request... Gu Meng likes Candi very much." Speaking of this, he narrowed his eyes dangerously, and lowered his voice a little gloomy, "Gu Meng can't If you like others, what you like has to disappear.”
"Cub...you may be seriously ill." Bo Ye rubbed the center of his brows, gave up resisting, unable to connect with the perverted version of En Jin, and followed his meaning, "I will take good care of my man, you Stop staring at Candi from now on."
"That won't work." Enjin raised her eyebrows and leaned back relaxedly, "I must keep an eye on such a dangerous person."
Bo Ye: "..."
Hey, who is more dangerous, the kid who wants to chop people with an ax at every turn
The two stood for a while in the corridor.
Enjin estimated the time, frowned, kicked the ground impatiently, and said, "Isn't it alright? What are they talking about?"
Bo Ye looked at the time, went to the door and knocked.
After a while, Tang Zhiyang's high voice came from the room: "What's the matter?"
Bo Ye said: "Have you guys finished talking? It's been a quarter of an hour."
Tang Zhi: "Wait a little longer - see you soon!"
Bo Ye had no choice but to look at Enjin who was at the side, indicating that he had no choice.
In the room, after Tang Zhi finished shouting, he turned his head and got under the quilt again.
"And then?" He leaned forward, his eyes shining brightly, "Did he stick out his tongue? Did he touch you?"
Two people were covered by the quilt on the bed, moving under the moonlight.
Gu Meng was almost forced to the wall by him, she blushed in the dark and shook her head: "No."
"Why is this..." Tang Zhi sighed regretfully, thought for a while, and kindly reminded, "Is Enjin not good at it? Do you want someone to teach you?"
"!!!" Gu Meng tapped him on the forehead, and said, "Don't come up with ideas! Enjin doesn't need to know this!"
Tang Zhi was surprised, and blurted out: "Then what will you do in the future..."
Gu Meng hurriedly leaned forward and covered his mouth, with a mournful face: "Ancestor, can you go to sleep? Can I sing you a lullaby?"
Tang Zhi covered his mouth, stared at him with clear eyes, and shook his head firmly.
Gu Meng: "..."
Seeing Enjin frequently looking towards the door, Bo Ye understood that he was worried about Gu Meng, so he found a topic to divert his attention.
He asked, "Why were you on Gu Meng's bed just now?"
Mentioning this, Enjin actually lowered her head a little shyly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as innocent as a little white lotus.
"What's the matter?" Bo Ye thought it was interesting, and said with a light smile, "He looks like he was hit on the waist by his first love."
"Gu Meng seems to be in a bad mood." Enjin said in a low and soft voice, understanding, "So, I want to comfort him with my young and fresh body."
"..." Bo Ye said, "Why are you more shameless than me?"
The two big men stood outside the door for a long time, Bo Ye felt that he should finish talking no matter how much he had to say, so he knocked on the door of the guest room.
But this time, there was no echo from inside.
Frowning slightly, he pushed the door open and walked in.
Bo Ye and En Jin approached one after the other, only to find that they had fallen asleep on the bed.
Under the bright moonlight, the picture of big and small beauties sleeping together head to head is very seductive, but neither Bo Ye nor En Jin are in the mood to appreciate it.
"Tsk..." Bo Ye rolled up his left and right sleeves, carefully picked Tang Zhi up from the bed, and murmured unwillingly, "I'm sorry, why did you end up on the bed..."
Tang Zhi's face was blushing, and he fell asleep unconsciously, with his head resting softly on Bo Ye's chest.
As soon as Bo Ye turned around with the person in his arms, he saw that the person behind him was even less happy than him, almost to the point of blackening.
Enjin stared at Tang Zhi's sleeping face expressionlessly, her eyes were heavy.
It should be because Gu Meng and Tang Zhi were lying together and fell ill.
Bo Ye hugged Tang Zhi quietly, and passed him silently. He originally wanted to put Tang Zhi on the bed in the middle, but then changed to the bed next to the door because Enjin was next door.
Looking back, Enjin was standing there, still looking at Tang Zhi, very persistent.
Bo Ye thought for a while, put Tang Zhi on the bed, lifted the quilt to get on the bed, and wrapped Tang Zhi in his arms to protect him.
He didn't look back, and sighed: "Cub, don't look at it, go to sleep."
Early in the morning of the third day, Gu Meng was awakened by the sound of thumping and thumping outside the window.
After washing, he walked to the front of the wooden house, and someone had already started a fire in the open space, and Zhang Zhian and others were chopping wood with axes.
Gu Meng stood on the porch and looked around for a week. There were a dozen or so people in front of the house, all busy in their own way, looking lively. He rubbed his eyes and said casually, "You all got up so early?"
"Thanks to the charcoal fire you brought back yesterday, I distributed it to everyone last night." Zhang Zhian stopped with the axe, turned around and smiled, "Put the brazier in the room and warm it up. It's not cold at all, and I slept soundly."
"Lei Li and the others are in the same room, and they got up earlier than us." Wang Xiaochi took a sip of hot water, exhaled white mist, and joined in the fun, "Probably because you found something good, and you also want to go to that village to find something. Searching."
Gu Meng nodded, turned around and prepared to go back to prepare breakfast, and then remembered that Lei Li and the others had to go through the flower forest to go to the village, and wondered if they had brought raincoats.
He frowned, if he came back with a whole body of pollen, it would be everywhere in the wooden house.
In the middle of the morning, Lei Li and the other four arrived at the village. After being frightened a few times by the dummies placed around the village, they got used to it and rummaged around the village, trying to find some useful supplies.
The last few people found the ancestral hall to the east.
Lei Li took the lead and walked into the hall, looked around, and said with satisfaction: "It seems to be a rich family, let's focus on looking here."
The others scattered in the hall, but he was attracted by the long scroll picture of a fairy deer hanging in the center.
When he got closer, he opened the scroll and flipped it over to check, but he couldn't see why, so he flicked it with disdain: "Tch, I think it's something good, a decorative painting, it's not enough to be used as firewood."
I didn't pay attention when I let go, and accidentally tore the fairy deer picture.
Lei Li glanced at the scroll that was dragged down, but didn't pay attention, and went to other places to check.
At the same time, in a certain corner of the cedar forest, a small square of snow gradually rolled up, and after a while, a pair of brown horns emerged from under the snow, and as the thing got out of the snow, it was gradually recognized that it was a sika deer .
The sika deer shook its body to shake off the white snow piled on its head and back. It turned its head to both sides, blinked its big black and moist eyes, and after finding the right direction, kicked its hind hooves and jumped towards the depths of the fir forest. .
