"Tell me, you could just tell him directly yesterday, but you have to endure it alone. Now that you're fine, I'm afraid I won't have a chance."

"Oh, it's so annoying. I just feel... I feel very embarrassed..."

"I'm still embarrassed. If you continue to be so embarrassed, your lover brother will become someone else's husband."

"Fuck you! What kind of lover brother, I'm tired of talking about it. I... I have figured it out anyway. If I can't open my mouth and he doesn't take the initiative, then we have no chance and there is nothing to fight about."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a fate! Let me see, you just can't hold back your breath. You always feel that you will lose someone if you speak first. But have you ever thought about it, if you don't speak out boldly when you meet someone you like, wouldn't that mean

Regret for the rest of your life? In the final analysis, you still don’t like him enough."

"You... forget it, I won't tell you anymore, I'm going back."

"Hey! The banquet is not over yet! Why are you so anxious!"

The two figures disappeared.

Guan Dehou sat at the table and listened to them talking as if he was drunk.

It was hazy, and he couldn't hear clearly, nor could he figure out what they were talking about... He always felt like someone was calling his name.

"Who are you?" Guan Dehou asked, holding his forehead.

"You shouldn't be here." It was a man's voice, magnetic and very pleasant.

Guan Dehou turned his head when he heard the sound and saw a little boy standing in front of him.

But looking at the child's height and appearance, he looked to be eight or nine years old at most, but his eyes were deep and terrifying.

After just a brief contact, Guan Dehou felt that all his secrets had been seen through by the other party.

"who are you?"

The little boy looked at Guan Dehou and was silent for a long time before asking, "Do you trust Li Shaoan?"

Li Shaoan?

Guan Dehou was startled, "How do you know him?"

"You don't need to ask too many questions, just answer my questions directly."

This sentence carries an undeniable sense of oppression.

Guan Dehou didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but he couldn't help but replied, "To be honest...since that incident more than ten years ago, I don't have that much trust in Lao Li..."

Hearing this, the little boy showed a mysterious smile and said, "Very well, keep your opinion, it won't do you any harm."

Guan Dehou frowned and said, "What on earth are you talking about?"

The little boy ignored Guan Dehou. He continued to look at the lively crowd around him, and then said, "Today is my ninth birthday, and it is also the last day I saw my brother... For many years after that, I only knew that he and his mother had been fighting on the front line.

, the rest... I don’t know anything about it... Thinking about it now, I was really indifferent at that time. Even though I had so many opportunities to be with my family, I still chose to be alone."

Guan Dehou frowned, thought for a moment and then asked tentatively, "Are you... talking to me?"

The little boy turned back to look at Guan Dehou and said, "If you were given a choice, would you rather stay with your family or die for your country."

Guan Dehou did not answer. He felt that these questions were meaningless and boring.

So he tried to get up, but as soon as he had this thought, he felt like something was pressing down on his whole body, making him unable to move.

"What's going on? What did you do to me?"

The little boy looked at Guan Dehoudao calmly, "You are about to usher in an important turning point in your life. Before, the path you chose made you miserable, but this time is different. You have more choices, so be more clear-headed.

Don’t let yourself regret it.”

As he said this, the little boy stepped forward and put his hand on Guan Dehou's heart.

Guan Dehou was stunned, "What are you doing?"

The little boy smiled slightly and said, "It's time for you to wake up."

After saying that, Guan Dehou felt a tightness in his chest, as if he had been pushed by something.

This feeling was very uncomfortable. Guan Dehou frowned and said, "Hey! Little brat! Don't add insult to injury!"

The little boy ignored him and moved his hand slightly.

This time, Guan Dehou felt not just boredom, but heartbreaking pain.

And when the severe pain came, he felt dizzy, and then he sat up as if he had woken up from a nightmare.

…

Nalan Xinyu was startled. She looked at Guan Dehou who suddenly sat up like a corpse. She was stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy, "Uncle, you finally woke up! I thought you would never come back!"

Guan Dehou looked at Nalan Xinyu blankly and said nothing for a long time.

Nalan Xinyu didn't even smile. She asked cautiously, "Uncle? What's wrong with you?"

Guan Dehou then asked, "I seemed to have had a nightmare just now... In the dream, I was attending a banquet. The banquet was very lively, but I seemed to have drunk too much and could not move at all. There was also a child and

I said a lot of strange things..."

"Huh?!" Nalan Xinyu was stunned. "Weird words? What strange words?"

Guan Dehou tried hard to recall it, but he couldn't think of it anymore. Only the feeling was still lingering in his heart.

"I can't remember clearly... Anyway, there are some words that are not understandable..." Guan Dehou pinched his eyebrows and said, "Although I don't understand, I don't know why... what he said made me feel..."

Very uneasy...as if...I am about to lose something..."

Nalan Xinyu was even more shocked when she heard such words, as if Guan Dehou's experience had touched some incredible taboo.

However, Guan Dehou did not notice this. He let go of his hand and stared blankly at the sea of ​​grass in the distance.

The sea of ​​grass bathed in the bloody sunset looks dangerously beautiful...

Guan Dehou sat there for a long time before trying to get up and said, "No, I have to go back as soon as possible."

Nalan Xinyu had been thinking about things just now. After hearing this, she came back to her senses and said, "Wait a minute, uncle, your physical condition is very bad now, you should take a rest, and my brother just entered the Dead Sea to save you.

He hasn’t come back yet.”

Guan Dehou was indeed very weak now. He tried, but after failing to get up smoothly, he asked curiously, "Your brother? How could you save me?"

Nalan Xinyu shook her head, "I don't know, but if it weren't for my brother, uncle, you would never have come back."

Guan Dehou frowned, "Is your brother a little boy who looks about ten years old?"

Nalan Xinyu shook her head, "No, my brother should look more mature than me."

"Hey...then that little boy is..."

"Um...Uncle, everything you saw in the Dead Sea was a broken illusion and cannot be believed to be real."

Guan Dehou didn't think so. He remembered clearly that the boy took the initiative to find him and said some strange words.

Seeing Guan Dehou's silence, Nalan Xinyu was about to say something more.

A ray of light lit up from the depths of the sea of ​​grass, and the dark sky seemed to be ignited, and it "burned" in an instant.

Guan Dehou opened his mouth and looked at the incredible wonderland in front of him.

Nalan Xinyu said excitedly, "It's brother, brother is back."

elder brother?

Guan Dehou tried to get up again, and this time his strength seemed to have returned.

He stood up, and just as he saw the light, a figure gradually walked in.

Although the two sides were still hundreds of meters apart, Guan Dehou sensed a dangerous aura... something that Nalan Xinyu had not seen before.

So Guan Dehou subconsciously touched the pistol behind him.

After a while, the figure came closer, the light faded, and the sky returned to its previous darkness.

A young man in Tsing Yi wearing a black and white mask stood in front of Guan Dehou.

There were no openings for facial features on the mask, but Guan Dehou could clearly feel the young man looking him up and down. The feeling was a bit strange, but the dangerous aura before had disappeared.

The young man looked at Guan Dehou for a while and then asked, "What did he say to you?"

Nalan Xinyu's smile, which was about to introduce the two of them, froze.

Guan Dehou frowned and asked, "Did you see him too?"

The boy took another step forward and asked, "What did he say to you?"

Guan Dehou shook his head, "I don't remember."

"You lied." The young man's tone was calm. He raised his finger and pointed at Guan Dehou's heart and said, "It's not that you don't remember, but you chose to forget."

Guan Dehou was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Young man, what you said is really interesting. I didn't lie. I really don't remember."

The young man was a little reluctant, and he added, "But you know in your heart what information he said contained."

Guan Dehou frowned and became a little unhappy, "Tsk...what do you mean?"

The young man took back his hand, took off his mask, revealed a fair face and said, "There is no malice, but the information he disclosed is very important to us. Even if it is to help us, tell me how you feel now, okay?"

Such a pleading tone made Guan Dehou a little embarrassed to say anything.
