Past years

After a short rest, everyone put on their clothes and pants again, counted their backpacks and belongings, and walked towards the Qinling Sacred Tree.

Listening to the amazement of the people around, it was exactly the same as when I saw this situation for the first time.However, at this moment, this huge bronze tree can't bring him any sense of beauty, what's left is only a kind of bewitching and alluring.Those memories that he was very unwilling to touch rose again from the bottom of his heart; that disgusting feeling, like a cold and dark mass, stuck tightly to his back, bringing a chill that penetrated his spine.

Yet he cannot escape.He knew exactly what he was here for.There are some roads that he has to go down.Because from the moment the plan was formed in his mind, there was no turning back.

"We're going to climb up here. We're all wearing gloves. There's something unclean on the bronze, and it's not very good to touch."

"Master Wu Xiaofo, can you explain what's on it?"

"Touch something that is allergic. You don't have to wear it if you want, but don't blame me for not reminding you that it will itch later. It's not an ordinary itch; if you scratch it, you will definitely fall off, and if you don't scratch it, you will go crazy because of it." Lose."

"All right, all right, listen to Little Buddha. Now, take your gloves!"

Seeing this, Wu Xie should have breathed a sigh of relief, because only he himself knew the real reason for wearing gloves.However, he still felt heavy in his heart, as if something very bad was about to happen, although he couldn't tell what it would be.

"I'll go up first." Xie Yuhua said calmly while moving her joints.

"Alright." Wu Xie had seen Fa Xiao climbing rocks with his bare hands, so he wasn't too worried about it. "Don't act rashly after going up, control those people until I arrive." He whispered in Xiaohua's ear.

"Okay." Xiaohua smiled at him, and climbed onto the bronze branch without looking back.

Wu Xiezheng was planning to distribute the equipment on the backs of the people, but he saw the black glasses walking straight over and grabbed the largest backpack on the ground. "I'm going up with him, and the queen will trouble you." Although covered by sunglasses, Wu Xie still felt that the black blind man must be winking at this moment.

"As the person I invited, don't you think you are a little too self-conscious and proactive?" Wu Xie raised her eyebrows, "Don't accept my arrangement? Why?"

"What do you think?" The other party did not answer directly, but threw the question back to him intact.Wu Xie's eyes turned cold, and his face immediately turned serious, "You mean..."

Seeing this, the blind man hurriedly eased the atmosphere: "No, no, don't think too much about it. I wanted to tease you, but you don't seem to be as fun as you were a few years ago...I was wrong! Don't pull out your gun!..." He reached out his hand to stop Wu Xie's further movement, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Don't get me wrong, I'm from your third uncle's side." Seeing that Wu Xie was still staring at him with hesitation, he added , "You believe in me because you believe in Xie Yuhua; and I am willing to give my life to you and let you arrange it, also because I believe in Xie Yuhua. So, whether you believe it or not now, at least it depends on Huaer For my sake, you don't need to doubt me—but, to be honest, I'm just worried about him...do you understand? "

Wu Xie was stunned for a few seconds, his eyes quickly dimmed, and then he lowered his head.The black glasses knew who he remembered. "That person will come back," he stepped forward and patted Wu Xie on the shoulder, "Trust me."

He didn't go at the end according to the original arrangement, but this time, Wu Xie didn't stop him again.

Perhaps somewhere in their hearts, they all understood something.That is a kind of consensus - only those who have experienced it can understand the meaning of the so-called distance.

Xie Yuhua climbed very fast.Heixiazi had to admit that in terms of dexterity and flexibility, Xiao Jiuye was indeed outstanding.Even if you just want to barely keep up with him, you have to spend a lot of effort.Along the way, he opened his mouth several times and tried to talk to the other person, but the person didn't seem to pay much attention to him.So he simply shut up and concentrated on his feet.

Since there is no one to chat with, the surroundings are surprisingly quiet, and unconsciously, it gives people a dreamy feeling of being in the clouds.So when he suddenly heard several gunshots coming from below, Shu Mo couldn't be sure if it was his illusion.But then the branches trembled violently, as if trying to prove something.Due to his limited vision, his hearing has always been much better than ordinary people.Some small ringtones faintly broke into the eardrums, and the blind man looked down suspiciously, but he was almost 20 meters away from the people behind him, and he couldn't see anything at all.He stopped his movements and raised his head again to call for Xie Yuhua, but the people above did not respond and disappeared completely, presumably they had reached the platform.He smiled wryly, lost his mind, and had to listen to it for a while; but the ringing sound seemed like a visitor from another space, and disappeared instantly, and the surroundings returned to the empty silence.He yelled a few words, thought for a while, and finally stopped delaying where he was, started the journey again, and climbed up the platform all the way.

The mouth of the platform is facing a cave.The black blind man walked into the cave, with that beautiful figure facing away from him, as if studying a mural on the wall.He wanted to speak at first, but he changed his mind and was afraid of disturbing the rare purity, so he didn't make another sound, just leaned against the lampstand and watched silently.

A quiet environment can remind people of many things.In fact, he was actually a lone wolf, used to walking alone.Whenever there is a team to cooperate, they are also laughing and joking, able to put in and let go.Yet he never wanted anyone to be involved in his actions, and it never occurred to him that anyone might worry about him.Until he met Xie Yuhua.

In the past, he had nothing to worry about, so he had no scruples.To him, life is nothing more than a glass of wine, a poem, and a string of fireworks, passing by in style, no matter how long or short it is.He himself couldn't tell at what moment he realized that he, a blind man, would love others.Maybe it was the night when we reunited at the Beijing bar, or maybe it was the morning when I saw Xie Yuhua practice for the first time, or maybe it was the thin figure who was seriously injured by the organ during a fight but still kept silent When he looked at that person, there was a little more tenderness in his eyes.

Because Xie Yuhua studied opera since she was a child, she can't smell smoke.After he moved into Xie's house, he almost quit.However, on that moonlit night, he found out the cigarette he hadn't touched for a long time again.Yes, he does not understand.He was not stupid, he could hear the sentimentality and helplessness in Xie Yuhua's last words, and he also guessed that there was probably something hidden in it.But he is blind.And with his black-blind style, he would never ask the reason.He is used to walking forward without stopping, without wandering or looking back.

He has long known that certain things in this world are destined to be meaningless.Just like some people will hurt whether they say something or not, and some people will leave whether they stay or not.
