I heard that the underworld judge has a crush on me

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Lin Xiangnan.

"I just saw that the villages next door are all heading north." Lin Xiangnan said in a deep voice: "The terrain in the north is high, and the temperature varies greatly from season to season. It is autumn now. If we can survive this period, we will wait until the snow falls , the fire will definitely slow down.”

His eyes swept over every familiar face here, and his tone was full of convincing firmness: "As long as we can still go, we must never give up."

"The fire is still burning outside." A woman whispered, "If we go out, will we also be burned to death?"

"There is no water, no food, nothing to survive here." Lin Xiangnan looked at the woman, "If we don't leave, we will die even faster."

Xu Shi was moved by him, and the expressions of the villagers began to hesitate.

"Why don't we listen to the Lin family's baby?"

"Yeah, instead of waiting to die here, it's better to go out and try."

"I'll follow Lin San'er." The noodle shop owner's daughter suddenly said, because of the hasty escape, the girl's originally fair face was now covered with dirty black ash, and she couldn't even see her face clearly, but her eyes But it was amazingly bright: "My father is dead, and I don't have any scruples about being alone, so I might as well go out and take a look at this world for my father."

Seeing that more and more people were moved by Lin Xiangnan's words, a few people who were undecided cast their eyes on Chu Yunxian: "Mr. Xuan, what do you think?"

Chu Yunxian is the most educated person in the village, if he is right, he will not be wrong.

Meeting everyone's eyes asking for help, Chu Yunxian smiled slightly and said, "Lin Zhen and I have the same thoughts."

"If we want to survive, we can only take one risk."

So after nearly half an hour of discussion, all the villagers in the cave finally decided to leave this place and go north to find a way out.

After a short rest, everyone set off on the road together.The older children and women in the village are responsible for taking care of the elderly and the injured, while the young and middle-aged are responsible for exploring the situation ahead and looking for a safer route.

Stopping and stopping all the way like this, everyone walked hundreds of miles away without incident.

They met many displaced people along the way, and saw countless villages that suffered the same as them. Gradually, more and more people joined their northward migration team. Lin Xiangnan went for the bright future they built.

But Lin Xiangnan himself didn't know what the road ahead was.

Everything he said was just speculation after all. There were too many uncertain factors in the illusion. He couldn't guarantee whether the winter in the north would be as cold as he imagined, and he couldn't be sure whether there would be snow falling there, let alone whether the coming of winter would end the situation. A sudden natural disaster.

But now moving to the north is their only hope. Several days have passed since that day, but the fire poured down from the sky like no end, burning and scorching the already battered world all day long, and it also made people heart tormented.

Out of some kind of self-evasive attitude, they chose to believe in Lin Xiangnan's words-compared with the destination they were going to reach, it was actually more like a spiritual pillar in everyone's heart.

So no matter what, Lin Xiangnan couldn't show even a little negative emotion.

He is like a taut string, and people's trust is like a heavy mountain, weighing heavily on him.

On a resting night along the way, everyone ate the animal carcasses they found that were roasted by the fire, and sat around in front of the cave where they lived and talked about the future. You talked about the future with each other. The atmosphere was rare and relaxed and warm. .

Taking advantage of their lively chat, Lin Xiangnan stayed away from the crowd by himself, found a cave that was so narrow that it could only accommodate two or three people, and sat in it.

Just like a few days ago, the night was still as bright as day by the raging fire, Lin Xiangnan stared at the sky in a daze, his eyes clearly reflected the bright fire light in the distance.

Sporadic flames splashed nearby, and the grass blades in front of the cave made scorching noises. Lin Xiangnan picked up the coat at hand as usual, and extinguished the fire with a few strokes.

Immediately afterwards, he looked down and saw the coarse linen clothes on his body, and he was a little inexplicably stunned.

How long has it been?

Since he came to this illusion, he didn't live a stable life for a few days, and he started a life of running away all day.Talking old sayings, performing ancient rituals, wearing cumbersome and inconvenient clothes, combing hair that has not been trimmed since birth, sleeping on cold and hard stones, and being covered with dirty dust...

He almost forgot that he used to be a person living in modern society.

Mingming clearly knew in his heart that this was just an illusion, but before he knew it, he had gradually begun to find it difficult to distinguish the difference between this place and reality.Countless moments of hazy consciousness when he opened his eyes in the morning, Lin Xiangnan almost had the illusion that he was the person who lived here.

And Chu Yunxian is the only one who can rescue him from this contradiction.Every time he saw that familiar face with a gentle smile, his disturbed mood would be temporarily relieved.

When encountering those difficult things, Chu Yunxian will always be his most solid and reliable backing, that person will handle everything in an orderly manner, allowing Lin Xiangnan to breathe for a while under the pressure.

Thinking about his unspoken intentions, Lin Xiangnan lowered his eyes and smiled wryly—if before the natural disaster struck, he might have the courage to confess to Chu Yunxian, whether he succeeded or failed, he was ready enough to accept it calmly.But now he is like a drowning pedestrian, he can only hold on to the last straw, not daring to take even the slightest risk.

He already...can't bear the consequences of failure.

"Why are you here?" Lin Xiangnan raised his eyes subconsciously when his eyes were suddenly blocked by a shadow, just in time to meet Chu Yunxian's concerned eyes.

"It's okay." He withdrew his gaze, and consciously moved aside to let Chu Yunxian enter the cave: "I just came out to get some air."

Chu Yunxian didn't speak any more, but sat beside him, raised his head and looked up at the sky together with him, just when Lin Xiangnan thought that the two of them would keep silent like this, the people around him suddenly whispered: "Xiao Nan, are you in a bad mood? good?"

Lin Xiangnan was slightly startled, and turned his head subconsciously, just in time to meet Chu Yunxian's gentle eyes: "If there is anything unhappy, you can tell me." The man's warm and generous palm gently rested on the top of the young man's head and rubbed it. Rubbing: "As your friend, I think it is necessary for me to help you relieve your mood."

"Don't always keep things in your heart." He said softly, "With me by your side, you can actually... try to rely on me."

Lin Xiangnan opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

"It's really okay." Thoughts turned thousands of times in his mind, and finally chose to escape cowardly. Lin Xiangnan staggered his eyes and refused to look at Chu Yunxian again: "I may be too tired recently, so I look I have no energy, I really have nothing to do, don't worry."

Chu Yunxian was silent for a while, just when Lin Xiangnan thought he would not ask him any more, the other party broke the silence again.

Chu Yunxian cast his eyes into the distance, as if talking to himself, and said slowly: "Lin Xiangnan I know, although his temper looks a little grumpy, but he is actually a soft and kind boy. He is very interesting and often has many friends. Thoughts and ideas I didn't expect."

As he said that, as if recalling some interesting memory, his eyes were stained with a smile: "The first time I saw him was in a narrow alley, when he was talking to my most troublesome Subordinates quarreled, spoke fast and did not lose the wind, and the facial expressions were fresh and vivid that I had never seen before."

"At that time, I thought, it must be a very interesting thing if we can become friends with such a person. Later, because of various coincidences, we actually met again. Every time I get along with him, I feel that I have never met I had a happy and relaxed life, so I also try my best to treat him well, hoping to make this friendship last forever."

"Soon, my efforts paid off, our relationship became better and better, and he became more and more cheerful, but when I felt that everything would be fine..." Chu Yunxian said Withdrawing his eyes, he turned his head to look at Lin Xiangnan who was completely stunned beside him, and his tone was tinged with a slight sadness: "He suddenly became estranged from me."

"I don't know what to do." The man who had always been calm had a rare look of powerless depression on his face at this moment: "I want to make him happy, but he doesn't even want to say a word to me."

Since meeting Chu Yunxian, this is the most words Lin Xiangnan has heard from him.

But at this moment, he was no longer in the mood to care about these things—in fact, as early as when Chu Yunxian said the first sentence, he was already crying.

What the hell am I doing?

Lin Xiangnan thought in surprise.

Whoever he likes is his own business, Chu Yunxian obviously doesn't know anything, but he wants to let him experience this annoying torture with himself, Chu Yunxian obviously did nothing wrong, he has been doing his best from the beginning to the end Do everything you can to accommodate him, tolerate him, and help him, but what about yourself?

Immersed in my own world all day long, worried because of that ridiculous little thought, as if afraid of being discovered by others, I avoided Chu Yunxian's concern time and time again, regardless of how hurtful his behavior was.

This is completely contrary to his original idea.

"I'm sorry." Lin Xiangnan raised his head and looked into Chu Yunxian's eyes seriously: "This matter is indeed my fault, I apologize to you."

"The reason why I did this is because..." He paused, his eyes wandered for a moment, but thinking about Chu Yunxian's words just now, his hesitant eyes quickly became firm again. Lin Xiangnan mustered up the courage to look directly at Looking into Chu Yunxian's eyes, he said word by word: "Because I like you."
