…
Aunt Mu has gone.
A slightly crude wooden coffin, a low earthen bag, and a stone tablet engraved with several small characters.
Mu Xiuxiu cried several times and fainted. She was so sad that she lost consciousness and fell ill directly on the couch.
“Should I cry?”
Nian Sui reached out and touched his cheek, with faint trails of tears.
“Yes, I should cry.” I
don’t know why, the mood and feelings of the years have become weaker and weaker. The intelligent, kind and calm years have gradually disappeared, and the depths of their hearts have been replaced by the overwhelming loneliness and silence. .
The thick big hand clapped on the shoulder of the old man, it hurts.
Nian Sui turned his head lightly and said, “Uncle Zhou.”
Zhou Orion looked at him with a fixed expression, and said solemnly: “You have changed.
” Said: “How do you say this?”
Zhou Orion pointed to his eyes, as if looking at a stranger, and turned away without saying a word.
…
another cold moonlit night.
“Brother Nian Sui, in my memory, you often show a good-looking smile,” Mu Xiuxiu put the porridge bowl on the wooden table and looked at him quietly, “In the past few years, it has never happened again. I can’t see you smiling.”
Nian Sui’s mood was extremely disturbed, and Kankan recovered at this time, and subconsciously looked up at Mu Xiuxiu’s eyebrows, I don’t know when, there were already some fine lines there.
The boring day-to-day life in the mountains even made him forget the passage of time.
Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the beautiful girl was nearly forty years old, but he was still the same as he was decades ago, and he has never changed in the slightest.
Over the years, the people in the village have gradually regarded him as a monster and moved away from the mountainside. In the Orion village, he and Mu Xiuxiu were the only ones left.
But Mu Xiuxiu never asked these questions, so he didn’t say anything.
That night.
Mu Xiuxiu lay alone on the wooden couch, tightening the thin quilt covering her body, two lines of clear tears streaming down her eyes.
“Brother Nian Sui, I have liked to pester you since I was a child, not because you were born beautiful, but because you often showed a bright smile at that time, which made me feel at ease and at ease.”
“Brother Nian Sui, I don’t want to . I know what you’ve been through, and I don’t want to ask, all I know is that you’ve always been by my side and never left.”
“Brother Nian Sui, over the years, I can sense the coldness and loneliness in your mind, I really miss it. I’ll share some for you, but you didn’t tell me anything, instead you completely closed yourself up, I’m really distressed and very sad.”
“Brother Nian Sui…” The
bright white moonlight reflected through the window lattice, and caressed softly. He pressed her cheeks, as if to help her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
…
Another rainy night.
In the midst of the cold wind, Nian Sui pushed open the wooden door, put the bow and arrow on his back and the prey beside the door, took off his soaked fur and fur robe, and called out as usual: “Xiu Xiu, take advantage of the rain just now. Not big, I shot two lively hares back, and I’ll make them up after stewing them later.”
The furnishings in the wooden house were as usual, but the familiar and gentle voice of agreement was missing.
Nian Sui was stunned for a moment, and then called out, “Xiu Xiu.”
It was still quiet.
The increasingly fierce storm and cold air swept from outside the door, smashing his face like a razor-sharp blade.
Boom!
Nian Sui turned around, slammed the wooden door shut, pressed her head against the door frame, two lines of tears flowed uncontrollably, and choked: “Xiu Xiu…”
Three days ago, Mu Xiu Xiu had already died. And go, all the year round seventy-nine years old.
It was he who held the stone axe and carved her stone tablet stroke by stroke.
After an unknown amount of time, Nian Sui reclined on the worn wooden couch, and fell into a deep sleep, with wet tears still left in the corners of his eyes.
thump.
thump.
A very light knock on the door came to my ears, and I opened my eyes abruptly every year. Only then did I realize that the sky was bright outside. In the depths of his pupils, there was a faint golden light.
thump.
The knock on the door rang again.
Nian Sui hurriedly got up, thinking that it was a familiar hunter who occasionally came down the mountain to exchange prey, wiped the water stains from the corners of his eyes, stretched his sleeves and opened the creaking wooden door, and forced a smile: “You want to change some “…”
Before he could finish his words, he stopped abruptly and couldn’t say it again.
The pretty girl was slender and slender, dressed in rough clothes that were full of patches but spotless, and the smile in her eyes almost overflowed, and she said crisply, “Brother Nian Sui.” Nian Sui
looked at her blankly and counted. The memories of the past ten years poured into his mind, and he murmured: “Xiuxiu…” Mu Xiuxiu stretched out her sleeves and pulled his arm, and said
with a smile, “What are you doing standing here?”
Between Xiangman’s mouth and nose, Years stared blankly at the girl in front of him, and murmured, “Didn’t you already…”
“What is it already,” Mu Xiuxiu pulled him out of the wooden house, and the sight of It’s a bustling and noisy village, “What nonsense are you talking about, my mother is waiting for the medicine, it’s time to pick up the firewood!”
Zhou Hunter, who was on the side, stepped forward, stretched out his thick hand, and patted the year hard. On Sui’s shoulders, he smiled and said, “Let’s go, I’ll take you hunting today, and pick up some firewood to come back.”
Nian Sui’s heart trembled, he turned around abruptly, his eyes passed through the open wooden door, and looked into the wooden house .
Aunt Mu looked kind, lying on the dilapidated wooden couch, looking at herself and Mu Xiuxiu with a smile.
Nian Sui turned around, his eyes lowered, and he fell silent.
“Brother age?!”
Mu Xiuxiu bent down with a worried expression.
After a few breaths, a somewhat cold palm stretched out and grabbed the girl’s soft and warm little hand.
“You…what are you doing…what!”
Mu Xiuxiu stuttered subconsciously, her crystal clear white ears flushed with shame, but she let him hold her hand and did not break free.
The age is a little closer, looking at her clear and clear eyes, the distance is so close, the flawless fragrance emanating from the girl is more intense.
“Brother Years…”
Mu Xiuxiu’s face was flushed with shame, she couldn’t help but took a half step back, lowered her head, and avoided his gaze.
Nian Sui let go of his hand, raised his head and smiled at the strange looking Zhou Orion: “Uncle Zhou, let’s go.”
The pretty girl in coarse clothes stared blankly at the place where Nian Sui left, a long time ago go back to the house.
…
it was night.
In a trance, Nian Sui dreamed of the same scene again.
It was a bleak three-foot long sword. The gray-white long sword was inserted on the dark cliff, and it was quiet and silent.
I don’t know since when, the gray-white long sword bloomed with a shallow snow-white shimmer, and the dark cliffs were also covered with cracks, which seemed to be broken at any time.
In the endless darkness, Nian Sui looked down at the dim long sword under him, and had a very wonderful premonition in his heart.
If you pull out this sword by yourself, you can get out of the trapped sea at once, go up to the sky, and go straight to Qingming.
“But…”
“I don’t want to have any more regrets…”
Nian Sui smiled, tears welling up in his eyes.
“I was born because of you, but I’m different from you. I won’t let myself be annihilated in this world with regret…”
“I want to live this short life according to my own thoughts…”
Nian Sui knelt On the ground, he dug the hard cliffs on both sides with both hands until the blood dripped, without stopping.
I don’t know how long it took, he finally buried the gray-white long sword, and never saw the slightest shimmer of pale white light again.
His hands had no fingernails, and the bare knuckles were covered with shocking and terrifying wounds, and blood dripped down his fingertips, but he never showed the slightest pain.
…
Finally, I woke up from the dream.
The first thing Nian Sui did when he opened his eyes was to get up and look to his side. After seeing the girl sleeping soundly, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Since then, he has never had that strange dream again.
Time scatters like quicksand between the fingers. The year is not recorded in the mountains, but the year is the same as before, carrying water, hunting, chopping wood, building mountain roads, raising livestock, and building wooden houses.
Sleeping with Mu Xiuxiu each night, looking at the peaceful sleeping cheeks of the girl in his arms, is the most reassuring time of the year.
Days and nights turned, time dissipated, Aunt Mu, Hunter Zhou, and fewer and fewer people in the village, and Mu Xiuxiu and Sui Sui also reached the age of rarity.
“Brother Nian Sui…” His
white hair trembled slightly, Mu Xiuxiu lay on Nian Sui’s lap, staring at the old man in front of him, his turbid pupils were full of nostalgia, “I am really at ease, with you Every day we spend together, I don’t have any troubles, but I still have some selfish thoughts, because I can’t bear the pain of losing you, so I want to leave this
warm world before you, can I?” He stroked her head, his eyes filled with pampering.
In the end, the person in his arms completely lost his life, and he stretched out his old and weak hands and carried her back to the wooden couch with great difficulty.
In a trance, Nian Sui once again fell into the strange dream that he had decades ago.
All directions are full of darkness. On the side of the dark cliffs, a three-foot long sword is inserted into it. The white sword light blooms through the gaps between the cliffs and rocks, and even makes Nian Sui close his eyes subconsciously. .
After a few breaths, Nian Sui slowly opened his eyes, and only then did he realize that at the side of the long sword, at some point, there was a beautiful young man dressed in a brocade woven grosgrain robe.
Nian Sui stepped forward, sat on the ground beside the young man, and said with a smile: “It’s the same sentence, although I was born because of you, I am not you.”
“I will give you all the insights of my life, I don’t owe you any more.”
“Thank you for letting me live this life.”
“Although this life is short, I have no regrets.”
Nian Sui stood up and looked down at the three-foot long sword inserted in the rock.
His hand slowly rested on the hilt of the sword.
Infinite light blooms.
The gray-white stone shell on the sword body was cracked inch by inch, and the snow-white sword light reflected from the rapidly spreading crack!
After a few breaths, all the stone shells on the three-foot long sword were scattered and flying. The sword in Nian Sui’s hand was a three-foot long sword as white as frost.
Falling Snow Sword.
Nian Sui held this snow sword and pulled a sword flower at will, without the slightest hesitation, and directly inserted it into his own heart.
Under the whirling of the snow-white sword light, its translucent spirit shattered inch by inch, leaving no trace in the end.
