Due to their special status, the two could only meet in this way, but Yu Huo knew that the brotherhood between him and Wu Ya had come to an end at this moment.
Yu Huo stared at Wu Ya. They were once brothers, but now, their paths have bifurcated and gone in different directions. They sat in a quiet corner, with the moonlight shining down, stretching their shadows long.
"You have changed, Wu Ya."
Yu Huo broke the silence and said: "You have forgotten our vows and our dreams."
Wu Ya smiled softly, a little unnaturally, and said, "Yes, I have changed, Brother Huo, I have become realistic, I have seen the reality of the world, and I have realized our innocence."
"Naive?" Yu Huo sneered and said, "Our dream is not naive, it is our belief."
"Faith?" Wu Ya asked, his voice full of sarcasm, "Having become a ghost, do you still insist on that faith? Do you still think we can change the world?"
Yu Huo fell silent. He looked at Wu Ya, with confusion and disappointment in his eyes. He shook his head and whispered, "I once believed that we could do it."
Wu Ya looked at Yu Huo, and his heart was filled with complex emotions. He hated the world, hated its ruthlessness and cruelty, but he also missed their past and their dreams.
"I know, Brother Huo." Wu Ya's voice softened, trying to express his position, and then said: "But we have embarked on different paths, and we all have our own choices."
Yu Huo sneered and said helplessly: "Choice? Did you choose to seek refuge in the Lost Nest, or did you choose to become the executioner of the Lost Nest?"
Wu Ya did not answer, he chose silence. His heart was full of pain and struggle, but he knew that he could not explain to Yu Huo or make him understand.
Yu Huo looked at Wu Ya's silence, and his heart was filled with pain. He knew that their brotherhood had completely come to an end at this moment, and their paths had bifurcated and headed in different directions.
Their conversation ended in silence. The moonlight was like water, shining on their bodies. Their shadows stretched out in the moonlight, like a sad elegy, singing their story and ending.
"Let's go, I hope our cooperation will go smoothly."
After Wu Ya finished speaking, he stood up, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and left without looking back, leaving Yu Huo looking at his retreating back with inexplicable sadness. Yu Huo knew that at this moment, their brothers had reached the end. , it is impossible to look back.
Yu Huo sat quietly, watching Wu Ya's back disappear into the night. Their brotherhood, like this discarded cigarette butt, had burned out and reached its end. Yu Huo's heart was full of bitterness and helplessness, but more importantly, he felt guilty about himself.
In the night, the flickering cigarette butt shimmered with the last glimmer of light, just like Wu Ya's brotherly love for him, sometimes hot and sometimes extinguished. The remaining fire picked up the cigarette butt and threw it into the distance with all his strength. Let go of the pain and contradictions of the past.
The stars in the night sky were like Wu Ya's eyes, blinking and blinking, like saying goodbye and saying goodbye. Yu Huo raised his head and looked at the familiar sky, his heart filled with confusion and uneasiness about the future.
However, at this moment, a meteor streaked across the sky, with a tail, burning itself, briefly but brilliantly.
Looking at all this, Yu Huo suddenly had a glimmer of understanding in his heart. He understood that brotherhood is like that meteor, short and brilliant, but more importantly, the process of its burning is so beautiful and spectacular.
Yu Huo stood up and looked into the distance. He knew that Wu Ya was gone and their brotherhood had come to an end. It was impossible to look back. However, Yu Huo still wanted to remember this friendship in his own way. Remember The brother who had accompanied him through thick and thin.
Although their positions are different, Yu Huo believes that he can impress Wu Ya with his sincerity. He knows that deep down in Wu Ya's heart, he is actually a person who longs to return to a normal life.
Yu Huo firmly believes that as long as he can use his sincerity to touch the longing for life deep in Wu Ya's heart, it is possible for Wu Ya to change his mind, give up his identity as a deserter, return to the world, and return to a normal life.
Yu Huo took a deep drag on the cigarette, letting the smell of tobacco fill his entire lungs, bringing a brief sense of calm. He looked at the gradually rising white fish belly in the east, and his thoughts drifted into the distance like surging smoke.
He was missing his master, missing Crescent Bone, and that place that was warm but trapped him.
He has been working hard to get rid of that place, the place that makes him feel comfortable but also prevents him from truly stretching himself. He longs for freedom, the unfettered freedom, just like the smoke, which can drift away at will and fly to any place. place.
But at this moment, he missed his master, his sincere teachings, his earnest instructions, and his nagging... But at this moment, there was nothing left, just like the smoke drifting away in the wind and into the distance...
The whiteness of the fish belly gradually spreads, replacing the depth of the night. A new day was about to begin. He flicked the ashes gently, leaving the last wisp of smoke lingering between his fingers. He stepped on the cigarette butt under his feet, then slowly raised his head and looked at the new day, his heart full of expectation. and hope.
Back at Tang's house, Tang Ruoxi had already gotten up. It could be seen that she slept soundly last night and was applying eyeliner on herself with fighting spirit. When she saw Yu Huo coming back from outside with a tired look on her face, Tang Ruoxi was a little curious and more concerned. , asked: "Uncle Lai, were you so excited about the banner last night that you didn't sleep?"
Almost exposed, Yu Huo took advantage of the trick and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Yes, at my age, it's hard to sleep after being praised, so I went out for a walk. Second Miss, what do you want for breakfast? I'll make it for you. ."
Afraid that Tang Ruoxi would continue to question, Yu Huo quickly changed the subject, picked up his bib, and was about to enter the kitchen, but he didn't want to be stopped by Tang Ruoxi, and said: "Uncle Lai, I think you are really old, don't you remember? "
Yu Huo was stunned, stopped, and turned to look at Tang Ruoxi, with doubts and a trace of incomprehensible pain in his eyes. His hands tightened on his bib, but he could not move forward. He saw the look in Tang Ruoxi's eyes. There was a determination that he had never seen before, a look that revealed the truth.
"What do I remember?"
Yu Huo tried his best to make his voice sound calm, but his heart was turbulent.
Tang Ruoxi looked at him quietly, and then said softly: "Don't you remember that day? Today is his death anniversary."
When he heard the word "death anniversary", several people appeared in Yu Huo's mind one after another, but he forgot that the 'him' Tang Ruoxi said was actually himself.
"The anniversary of his death?"
Yu Huo's voice trembled slightly, and he felt an unspeakable sadness in his heart. He tried to remember and find the disappeared self, but what greeted him was only endless darkness.
Tang Ruoxi looked at him, with complicated emotions flashing in her eyes. She took a deep breath and said softly: "Today is the day when Yu Huo sacrifices himself to save me."
Yu Huo's hand froze in the air. He stared at Tang Ruoxi with wide eyes, as if he wanted to find a clue from her expression, and then he suddenly realized.
Only then did Yu Huo remember that in Tang Ruoxi's eyes, Yu Huo was already dead, and now he was lying quietly under the tombstone that Tang Ruoxi had set for him. After Yu Huo realized what he was doing, he smoothed things over with an innocent look on his face. He said: "I'm sorry, Miss Second, I may have been too tired recently, so I forgot the anniversary of my uncle's death. I will prepare the sacrifices and accompany you to Jianghai Cemetery."
"No, Uncle Lai, I see you are really tired. You can go and catch up on some sleep first. I can go alone. Anyway, I want to be alone and talk to him."
After Tang Ruoxi finished speaking, she pushed Yu Huo into the bedroom, but Yu Huo couldn't explain it, so he could only agree to let her go alone.
Every time she visits Yu Huo's grave, Tang Ruoxi will dress up beautifully. She hopes to always leave a good impression in Yu Huo's mind, even though she knows that Yu Huo is dead and will never see her beauty again. .
However, Tang Ruoxi still firmly believes that Yu Huo's soul will always be at his tomb, guarding the love between them.
Therefore, every time she came to see Yu Huo, Tang Ruoxi would place his favorite flowers in front of his grave and tell him in a low voice her thoughts and love for him.
Gradually, Tang Ruoxi gained more touch and happiness in the process of waiting for the remaining fire. She found that she became stronger and braver in the process, and she also cherished and appreciated the people and things around her more.
The departure of Yu Huo made Tang Ruoxi understand more about the shortness and preciousness of life. She decided to cherish every moment and live her own wonderful life.
In front of Yu Huo's grave, Tang Ruoxi also saw many different lives and stories. She began to understand that the true meaning of life does not lie in how long you live, but in how meaningful and valuable you live.
Every time she came to Yu Huo's tomb, Tang Ruoxi would stay for a long time. She would talk a lot with him, share her joys and sorrows, and also talk about her thoughts and worries.
She felt that chatting with Yu Huo was a very special experience, as if Yu Huo was still by her side, accompanying her through every difficulty.
In Tang Ruoxi's heart, Yu Huo will always be the most important person in her life. She believes that their love will continue forever, transcending the boundaries of life and death, until eternity.
Every time she bids farewell to Yu Huo's cemetery, Tang Ruoxi will leave with hope, because she knows that the person she loves is always in her heart, accompanying her, giving her strength and courage, and making her a better self.
When she was about to leave, a gust of wind blew by, and the fallen leaves rustled. She couldn't help but shiver, and suddenly she felt that the atmosphere around her had become extremely tense. She concentrated and felt the surrounding atmosphere keenly.
The howling wind seemed to bring unusual information. She clenched her fists nervously, feeling that something was about to happen.
Just when she felt scared, she thought of Yu Huo. It was Yu Huo who made her feel an inexplicable sense of security at this moment and made her relax.
The wind stopped, and Tang Ruoxi sorted the fallen leaves next to Yu Huo's tombstone, and was about to turn around and leave, but found a strange thing lying in the haystack next to the tombstone. The thing looked like an old kerosene lamp.
Tang Ruoxi stepped forward and gently picked up the kerosene lamp. It was indeed old and full of traces of history, but the strange thing was that this kerosene lamp did not have the usual wick, which made Tang Ruoxi even more curious. , she looked at the lamp carefully, trying to find out its origin and purpose.
