Withered vine of the end of the world rebirth

As the saying goes, spring is sleepy, summer is exhausted, autumn is dozing, and winter is March when you can't wake up.

During the afternoon, it is easy to make people feel sleepy, especially for young children.

People are busy all their lives, and there are only two times when they can be completely lazy. One is when they are still young and their hair is yellow; the other is when they are over half a hundred and late.

It's just that the former has nothing to worry about or fear because he doesn't understand; the latter is because he has more energy than energy, and has reached the age.

Therefore, the happiest and carefree time in a person's life may be when he is childish.

Chu Mo turned his head to look at the two drowsy children who were leaning against Yunniang tightly.

...That is, the age of these two children.

At the age of five or six, they still don't know the sorrow of parting, and they don't worry about the hardships of life. As long as the person they are wholeheartedly attached to is still by their side, even in this desolate and lonely snow-capped mountain, they can be carefree. , I can even clamor for my mother to sing and lull her to sleep at noon.

It is extremely worry-free.

Although it was noon at this time, it was still very cold in the snow mountain after all; in order to keep out the cold, even at this time, the cave was still burning with fire.

The flames were extinguished, Chu Mo looked at the flickering flames in front of him, and heard Yunniang actually humming a song to the flames.

She sang very lightly, with melodious tunes, reflecting the snow, wind, frost and day, but she also had a special sense of beauty and tranquility.

The years are quiet.

Yunniang must have doted on her two children so much that they could grow into such lovely and carefree personalities;

Those two children must also be very attached to their mother, and they are very sensible: after all, the pain in the snow, even adults would find it hard, let alone these two young children?

But they didn't cry a word.

It is said that they are clamoring for their mother to sing and lull her to sleep, but how can their two young children resist the coldness of the snow?How to sleep well?

He was just looking for an excuse to let his mother relax and stop worrying too much.

It is said that according to modern scientific research, people start to remember things from the age of six; in fact, human beings can't remember the experiences before that, whether they are happy or unfortunate.

But memories can be blurred, feelings cannot.

The character that people develop when they are young, no matter how much they grow up and experience in the future, they will not change.

This Yunniang is also considered lucky; even if she can't find the person she wants to find, just in terms of raising these two children, it is a worthwhile life.

It's just that in the future, these two children who are about to turn six now will remember today's trip to the snow-capped mountains?Do you remember that when you were young, you went to such a desolate place, looking for your father who is close to you by blood?

I only hope that they can still maintain this innocence at that time.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Chu Mo sat in front of the fire, just facing Yunniang and the others.He lowered his eyes to look at the flames that were burning right in front of him for a while, then asked suddenly.

In fact, this scene is somewhat familiar.Yesterday, he was also sitting in front of the fire like this, asking Hu Bugui who was sitting opposite.

At that time, the man answered him with a short and powerful sentence: "Go to the battlefield again! Defend the family and the country!"

But now, under the same flame, the woman in front of her said with gentle eyes, "I want to go to the battlefield and bring him back."

The questions are the same, the situations are similar, but the answers are vastly different.

In fact, Chu Mo had asked many people this similar question in his previous life.

When he was identified and could only pretend to escape.

Surviving in the last days is not easy, and he has a lot of weird tempers. No matter how strange he behaves, as long as he is capable, no one will maliciously expel him.

At that time, he hadn't found a way to hide his identity, so he could only mix among the low-level people who had no or very low abilities.

At that time, there was no one around him, and he didn't even have the ability to snatch Xiao Yu out of the base; and in the last days, the life of ordinary people with no supernatural powers and poor supernatural powers was extremely difficult, perhaps too difficult, They always appear to be extremely vigilant, but extremely weak.

The former is manifested in the fact that they may still not trust you after they have gone through life and death with you, and the latter manifests in that even if you are just strangers meeting for the first time, they can still pull you to talk for a long time, and they can say whatever is in their hearts.

fearless.

Because no one is going to hurt them - they are so useless.

And in this chat, perhaps the most talked about is "the future".

From the beginning to the end, it has been like this; even before the end of the world, people like to talk about this topic.

It's just that people called it "the future" at that time; and in the last days, there is no future, only "the future".

Men and women, young and old, are all different in the future because they want different things.

The man hopes that he can acquire the ability to defy the sky overnight, and from then on he will be invincible all over the world, and he will have beauty and status all at once;

A woman hopes that she can be favored by a capable person. From then on, the other party will only love her and obey her, and she can live a wealthy life as a "rich and rich wife". Some unaccustomed little/wave/hooves/children;

The old ones hope that they can live a few more years, that they can have a safe place where they can take care of their old age, that they can find their children who lost contact with them before the end of the world, that they can come back with extraordinary abilities and full of children and grandchildren. take care of him;

Young ones, I hope that this day will end quickly, even if it ends with my own death.

are not the same.

But their future overlaps infinitely to a certain extent, because everyone hopes that they can live a better life and the world can become a better place.

Chu Mo had listened to countless people's "later".He has a good temper and doesn't talk much. He is a rare listener. Many people are willing to tell him what's in their hearts—as long as they don't know Chu Mo's real identity.

Chu Mo doesn’t know why he likes to listen to these things, maybe it’s because he likes to listen to the secrets of different people, maybe it’s because he thinks it’s good to deceive others, maybe it’s because he likes to find out that the “future” of those people has almost never come true The thrill of time, maybe...

...Maybe it's just that he's just too lonely and wants someone to talk to.

Even if the other party just said, he listened; even if he never knew that other party; even if he didn't like that other party at all.

Chu Mo couldn't help being a little dazed thinking about the previous things; when he realized it again, he realized that even the speaker had changed.

"Huzi, who went to the battlefield with him, returned to the village not long ago. He told us that the fighting here is over. Although my son has not come back, it must be blocked by something. Although he did not come back by himself Yes, but since the war is over, going to bring him back now is not considered a deserter, and it is not considered to be sorry to the ancestors."

The old woman on the side spoke, as if worried about their misunderstanding, she smiled a little shyly.

They are just ordinary foolish women in the mountains, and they usually think about either this country or this family; now that they have settled their state affairs, they should naturally take care of their own family affairs.

"Yeah...bringing him back at this time doesn't count as disobeying his desire to protect his family and the country." Yunniang said, lowering her head and stroking the bracelet on her wrist.

No matter how poor an ordinary woman is, she should have one or two rare jewellery.Yunniang, however, may be because her family is in a difficult situation, and she has suffered another disaster, her whole body is as clean as a slovenly man, with nothing.

Even the hairpins used to tie the hair on the head are made of an undecorated wooden sign, which looks like it was broken off from a tree by the roadside on the road, very shabby.

Only the bracelet on her hand is quite delicate.Although it is not an overly expensive wood, it is extremely delicately made.

Yunniang looks a bit like Xiaojiabiyu, and her hands are white and slender; her wrists are slender and graceful, as if she could be ringed by one hand, called by the polished and smooth dark wooden bracelet, it looks pretty tight.

Chu Mo's gaze stayed for a moment on the country fields and houses in the flowing water engraved on the bracelet Yunniang was wearing, and continued to listen to her detailed narration.

"...My two children have never seen their father since they were born. A child without a father will be bullied! How can I let my child be called a wild child without a father?! They have it! Theirs Dad is a great hero! I have to let them meet their father, and know that his father is a great hero who defends their home and country, so that they will be able to hold their chests up in front of others in the future!"

The two children raised their heads when they heard this, and looked up at their mother in a ignorant manner.

Chu Mo watched quietly.

Yunniang's eyes were slightly red, she lowered her head and touched the hair of her two children, then raised her head to look at Chu Mo and the others: "You may not understand, after all you... will not have children. But as a mother, you can't Tolerate that your child has never seen his father since birth."

"...Hmm." Chu Mo paused.

Although it seems that from the time when Yunniang and the others went out to look for them, to when they sat down together in the cave, what Yunniang and the others said and did seemed normal, and there was nothing wrong.

...except for Yunniang covering her child's eyes with her hands at that time.

Nothing else is wrong.

But Chu Mo just felt... something strange.

Why did he feel that there must be some other meaning in the sentence just now, but he didn't catch it?

"They are very sensible and will not be bullied." Mu Hanyuan, who had been sitting silently by the side, suddenly spoke, but his tone was very flat.

But it is precisely because of this plainness that it is extremely believable.

Yun Niang's eyes were red, she looked down at her two children.

The snow-capped mountains are cold, and Yunniang and the others are obviously poor.Even though it is obvious that they have tried their best to spend all the money and clothing on the two children, the clothes on the two children still look a little thin.

The body is still not obvious, but a pair of small hands are red and red from the cold.

However, the two children were still worried that their mother and grandmother would feel distressed when they saw it, so they hid behind their backs with all their strength, but they didn't know that this action would only make them feel more sad.

Chu Mo looked up at Yunniang, and sure enough, he saw that the woman's eyes were full of pearls, but she was still suffering so that others could not see her.

The cold wind was howling outside the cave, and the weather was almost sunny today. Except for a slight snowstorm at noon, the weather was fine at other times.

At this time, it is gradually heading west, and the cold wind has risen.

Yunniang looked at her child for a few moments, then suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, I suddenly think it's good that you two are like this...at least we can stay together forever."

Yun Niang raised her eyes and looked at the two people sitting opposite the fire.

As the sun faded to the west, the light dimmed.Originally, the cave was not very bright, but now it is even worse.

Even though the two people deliberately sat near the entrance of the cave to keep them out of the wind, they still seemed blurred.

The fire in front of him was a little erratic due to the wind, but it became strangely bright.

Yunniang looked at the flickering fireworks carefully.

Although she said her family was poor, her mother's ancestors were also from a scholarly family. Although as a daughter, she didn't know many books, she knew some of them.

She remembered reading such a sentence when she was young - "Looking at the beauty under the lamp".

It is said that under the blurred lights, even if it is only a three-point beauty, it will look beautiful like a poetic painting.

But at this moment, with the light of the fire, Yunniang felt that the two people on the opposite side really had good looks and extraordinary temperament.

But it's not just because of the flames: they are all too good men, so good that they don't need any external force to modify them.

With such character and appearance, if you think about it outside, you usually have many admirers, right?

But such two people are actually that kind of relationship.

In fact, when she saw the two of them in the daytime, although she didn't feel contempt or disgust in her heart, she still felt...it's a pity.

After all, when two such good people are together, it is inevitable that people will not feel that the jade is dusty.

But at this moment, when she thought about her husband who was somewhere, and looked at the two inseparable figures in front of her, she suddenly began to feel envious.

You can see that they are both men, so they can travel through life and death regardless of the weather, and there will be no "you are a woman, so wait for me at home; I will come back to you when I calm down this chaos" situation.

Perhaps the harmony of yin and yang is the right way in the world, but if we only talk about interdependence, suffering and lovesickness, how can we share life and death and stay side by side?

If I were a man...wouldn't I have lost his news and waited for so many years, but could go with him?

go with him...

If there is no separation, why bother to miss each other, how can we not see each other?

Yunniang thought so, but she smiled when she saw her pair of daughters.

Forget it, if she was a man, she wouldn't be able to have this pair of children, right?

Some are bound to be lost.

There's nothing wrong with that either.

"..." Chu Mo opened his mouth, but couldn't keep up with Yunniang's train of thought, so he said awkwardly, "These two children are called Si and Nian? What's their real name?"

Yunniang smiled, and didn't bother anymore, she just looked down at her child: "There is no rectification."

"Huh?" Chu Mo was taken aback.

"There is no rectification of names. I will wait for their father to come and take them." Yunniang raised her head, but her smile brightened, "But...their surname is Hu."

The child's name must be taken by their father, and she believed that he would come back, so she only took a nickname.

One is "thinking" and the other is "reading".

miss.
