That answer was not what Shun expected.

He can't change the outcome of Cui's death, but at least he can satisfy Cui's wish as much as possible.Cui would rather die before he was alive than to let Huihuo be free. This approach is too extreme, and it will have the opposite effect.

Brilliance left the house after that, without saying where or what he was going to, only promising to be back soon.

After Shun said goodbye to him, he recuperated at home alone.Shun is not very familiar with this body yet, and sometimes he feels that his body is so heavy that he has no strength, as if he doesn't even have the strength to pick up things.I don't know if it's because he's not used to it, or because Cui is always like this.

He knew exactly why Hibiki went out, because he had seen such a scene more than once when he was asleep.Whether it was Huihuo who left home from morning to night to make a living, or Huihuo who secretly gave himself medicine in the middle of the night, he watched countless times, countless times.

Shun hoped to stop Huihuo at the time, but regretted that he had no ability, but now there is not much change.

Wouldn't it be the same as before?In that case, his appearance would be meaningless.It's better to die like Cui, anyway, he is already dead, and he is not afraid to go to the underworld again.

Underworld...

I don't know what happened to the underworld, where did Hades go?Shun couldn't help recalling all the things he had experienced. He really wanted to know what happened to Seiya, the others, and his brother after the jihad.Everyone has been seriously injured, but it's time to return to the above-ground world.

How long has it been since then?

To Shun, it seemed that it happened a few days ago, but because the time axis is different, it probably can't be counted according to his time.

"I really want to go back..." Shun murmured, closing his eyes, surrounded by sleepiness.

This time she fell into a deep sleep, Cui's frail body really needed a good rest, as if no amount of sleep was enough.

It was almost evening when I woke up. In the winter here, the sky gets dark quickly, and the light outside the window is very dim.

Shun sat on the bed, the room was the same as when Huihuo left, there was no one else but him.Huihuo didn't seem to come back, Shun became a little worried.He cautiously got out of bed, put on an unlined garment, and looked at the door.

For a moment when the darkness fell, the sky was rendered thick with deep purple, and there were a few stars twinkling in the east, and that direction was the sanctuary.Athena in this life should have been born there.Then this jihad will definitely guide the soldiers forward.

Shun shivered for a while in the cold wind, and couldn't hold on any longer, coughing non-stop.Although his original body can't be said to be strong, after all, he has gone through a lot of training, and it is much better than the current weak body.

However, no matter how much he hoped, he couldn't see the figure of Huihuo.As night fell, this dilapidated village cast a strange atmosphere. The village opened its invisible mouth like a wild beast, almost swallowing people whole.

Where did the fire go?Instantly looking for him, when he tried to take a step, he heard Huihuo's voice unexpectedly.

"Cui!" Hui Huo hurriedly ran to him, grabbed his hand, and said with anger and reproach in his tone, "Where are you going?"

"Ah...brother." Shun turned around in surprise, Huihuo looked a bit embarrassed, with wounds on his face and hands, even though it was a minor injury, it still made Shun look sad.

"I should have told you not to come out alone." Then, Huihuo said in an orderly tone, "Come in."

Shun nodded and followed him in.

Huihuo hastily took out something from his pocket, before Shun could see clearly, Huihuo untied the bandage on his hand without authorization.

"Brother?" Shun withdrew his hand in resistance, but was pulled by Huihuo forcefully. "No, brother."

Cui herself didn't want to see those horrible wounds, let alone let Huihuo see them.Such a feeling made his heart feel like a knife.

Huihuo ignored his struggle and took off the bandage on his own.Shun only felt the coolness on his hand, and then it became very hot, as if the wound was peeled off abruptly, it was very painful.

"It hurts..." Shun clenched his teeth and took a few breaths.He saw Huihuo apply the ointment he got from nowhere on his body, and his expression was very anxious, which gave Shun a bad feeling.

"Just bear with it." Huihuo bit his lower lip and squeezed out these few words in a low and hoarse voice.

"What is this?" Shun looked at the medicine box of unknown origin, the label on it was written with the name of the medicine, but he didn't see it clearly, and was hidden by Huihuo. "Where did it come from?"

"..." Facing Shun's questioning, Huihuo seemed unwilling to say anything more. "Are you hungry? I'll go get something to eat." Then he was about to leave.

"Brother!" Shun ignored the scattered bandages, got out of bed and chased after Huihuo, grabbing the corner of his clothes.

"Where... did you steal it from?" Shun hesitated for a moment before asking.

Huihuo was startled, his movements froze there.

"That person's things are originally from other people..." Huihuo turned sideways and looked at Shun who was much shorter than him.Originally, the light in this room was very dim, but now from Shun's perspective, I couldn't see what Huihuo's expression was like at this time. I could only feel his trembling voice from his suppressed anger. Hate for this unfair world.

"..." Shun held his breath, let go of Huihuo, "I don't need it."

Huihuo's eyes widened suddenly, looking at him in surprise. "Cui...?" As if to confirm something, as if dealing with a fragile object, Huihuo softly called his name. "You're weird today."

"If brother has to do such a thing, then I don't need to cure this disease." Shun raised his eyes and said firmly.

He believes that the path he chose is not wrong, even if it is very difficult, it must be the right path.It is precisely because he knows that there are good and evil people in this world, Shun always blurs the boundary between good and evil, and feels that everything is not absolute.Just like he can see the hopeful part of Hibiki, he can also see his sin and negative emotions.

"what are you saying……"

"Brother is the one, what the hell are you doing." Shun sighed, and asked Huihuo, "Do you think what you are doing is right? If you even steal things, what is the difference with those people you hate? Is it the same? Then, if you kill innocent people in the future, you won’t feel guilty at all.”

Shun handed the half piece of bread left in the morning to Huihuo, but Huihuo didn't take it.Shun gave up and put the bread in Huihuo's hand directly. "Since you have reached the point where I want you to do this, then I will give you my share of food. Although I don't have much time, you still have many possibilities and a future. So, leave this village and go to Go wherever suits you."

Go create a future without Cui, Huihuo.

When Shun raised his head again, he realized that there were tears falling from the corner of his eyes. He just reached out and wiped it a few times, and then he sobbed uncontrollably. "Sorry, I lost my temper..."

"Don't be kidding." Huihuo felt that his words were unreasonable. He had no idea why Shun said such words, "Why did you say such things, Tsui. I promised to cure your illness and realize your dreams , it will definitely be done.”

"As long as you and I are brothers." Huihuo added.

What he said could not be taken back, Shun regretted it a bit, he could not persuade Huihuo, but might reveal his identity as not Cui.The deeper and more difficult this bond is, the more painful it will be for both parties.

"I won't do this again next time." Huihuo's tone weakened, but it was not a frivolous sentence.Just like every promise he has said before, what he promised will definitely not be broken.

Huihuo let Shun lay on the bed and helped him cover the quilt again.

Just a few days ago, Huihuo felt that Cui would never wake up. Originally, when he carried Cui to find a doctor that night, he had already said that there was no hope.Even though he could still feel it, Cui lay on his back, her faint breath pounced on the back of his neck, breathing so hard with all her strength.All the things he firmly believed in, the belief that could support him to live, disappeared little by little along with Cui's cold body temperature.

So when he found out that Cui woke up, how excited he was.Everything is back, just like before, nothing happened.He can still live in a precarious situation like grabbing a life-saving straw.

This time, he will definitely cherish Cui's well.

"Brother, brother."

"Ah?" Huihuo came back to his senses and found that Cui was calling him.

"Are you in a daze, are you too tired?" Shun divided half of the remaining bread to Huihuo, and he ate it in small bites, then excused that he couldn't eat any more, and gave the rest to Huihuo.

"I'm fine, you go to bed first." Huihuo shook his head, closed his eyes tightly, and rubbed his temple with his left hand.

"Brother looks a little strange." Shun poked his head out from under the quilt, looking at Huihuo who was sitting on the edge of the bed, showing exhaustion.

"It's really okay." Huihuo looked away guiltily, as if hiding something, with his left hand holding the arm of the other hand.

Shun quickly realized that something was wrong, Huihuo's movements were very unnatural, and he deliberately wanted to use his left hand to take the things that were clearly on the right side before. "Brother, did you hurt your hand?"

Before Huihuo had time to react, Shun's hand had already touched his wound, and the sudden pain made him clenched his lower lip, almost making a sound.

Shun was more sure of his judgment, he quickly opened Huihuo's long sleeves, and sure enough, he saw a bruise on his arm.Shun stared at the wound for a long time, frowning, and then went to check Hibiki's other hand, the wound on his face, and the old wound hidden under his clothes.

"Cui." Huihuo was a little unhappy, and of course he didn't want Shun to see those injuries.

"Brother is really messing around." Shun didn't know why and smiled wryly, this scene was the same as when he helped Ikki check the wound after a certain battle.He really knew his brother's character too well.Relying on my body being stronger than others, I often ignore those injuries and insist on being brave and saying that I am fine.Always makes Shun very worried, making him worry about Ikki who is out alone.

Thinking about it now, it was such a memorable thing.

"Don't move." Shun asked Huihuo to sit there, while he carefully got out of bed and took the medicine box from the cabinet.There are a few medicines inside, most of which are used by Cui, and some wound medicines are also prepared.

When Shun wanted to dip a towel in some cold water, Hikura stopped him.

"Don't worry about me," Huihuo said.

"No." Shun snatched the towel and immersed himself in the icy water, the bone-piercing feeling stretched from the palm of his hand to the bottom of his heart.

The winter here is really cold.Instantly felt that way more than once.

Shun put a cold towel on Kinho's hand gently, and carefully observed the condition of the wound and Kinho's expression. "It will be fine soon, does it hurt?"

"No." Huihuo said so, although his hands were light in an instant, he still felt his teeth chattering. "Where did you learn it?"

"Ah..." Shun lowered his head in a panic, unable to think of a suitable excuse, "I just think it should be done."

Fortunately, Huihuo didn't pursue it further, which made him heave a sigh of relief.

When Shun brought the Saint Cloth back to Japan, he had no intention of becoming a Saint.He felt that it would be better for him to be something other than a warrior, so he studied medicine in his spare time.Didn't expect it to come in handy on this occasion.

"Brother," Shun turned the topic in another direction, "Let's get out of here."
