Suotian frowned when he heard this.

The bearded man looked around, then moved his head close to Suotian and whispered: "The master...could it be..." He didn't say the rest of the words, but he should have already made a guess.

people.

Suotian did not answer the bearded man's words. After thinking for a while, he said: "Go to the camp first and wait for Gao to come over before discussing."

The bearded man nodded, then turned around, waved his hand and said loudly to the others: "Go back!"

Brother Jie glanced at Suotian hesitantly, then glanced at me again, and then turned back to the team.

I followed Suotian, and the bearded man walked behind Suotian.

On the way, Suotian pondered for a long time and then asked me: "Chen Yang, I can send someone to take you back."

Hearing this, I was stunned and turned to look at Suo Tian: "Why do you want to send me back?"

Suotian's brows raised slightly: "Here... you might die."

My heart suddenly stopped, and I suddenly remembered how I felt when Gao told me the news about Suotian's disappearance after being deceived.

It's nothing more than being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.

Reaching out and grabbing Suotian's arm hanging by his side, I said, "You have always been fighting alone, this time I am by your side."

Suotian's expression flashed, and he grabbed me with his backhand: "You have been with me for a long time." After saying that, he raised his head and looked forward, and after a while he said in a daze: "You didn't have to face it.

Days like this.”

I tightened my grip on him: "As long as I have you, every day I live is meaningful."

It was rare for the bearded man to follow the two of us without suddenly interrupting. I glanced at him unintentionally and found that he was also thoughtful.

Suotian was silent for a while, and then he spoke again: "How is the child?"

I thought for a while and felt a little guilty when he asked me this question.

After a while, he hesitated and replied: "Han Xue and Shuguang are taking care of me, there's no problem."

Sensing something was wrong in my sentence, Suotian glanced at me, thought for a moment, and asked almost to the point: "Why did you come here with Gao?"

I hesitated again before speaking belatedly: "He...he said you were buried in a cave, and he came here to find your body..." When I said this, I thought about it again

Recalling the scene at that time, I couldn't help but shudder.

Suotian stopped and stared at me for a while: "...When you came here, did you think I was dead?"

He shook his head: "I don't know. I was a little out of control at that time. I don't know what I was thinking. Now when I think about the scene at that time, I can't even recall it. I have completely forgotten what I did during that time."

Suotian took a deep breath, stretched out his arms and gently hugged me, without saying a word, and just hugged me for a while.

The team members in front noticed that we were not following, so they stopped and waited silently.

In an instant, I suddenly understood the most realistic meaning of the old saying, "Silence is better than sound at this time."

When I was in college, there would always be boys running downstairs to the girls' dormitory. After discussing with the dormitory aunt for a long time, they would place candles and show slides, and shout out to all the brothers to make a fuss. The whole world would know about it.

He wants to confess.

When I was young at that time, lying on the window felt so romantic and I was extremely envious.

Xiaoru was once confessed like this by a senior. The senior was a serious, rich and handsome man. He had been chasing Xiaoru for three years. The commotion that day made me cry. Rose petals were spread all the way downstairs to him.

Standing in front of the slides, I thought at the time that this was probably one of the most romantic things in the world. But now when I think back to those pictures, I feel pale and feeble. The slight silent hug Suotian gave me at this moment was so powerful.

of colorful.

.........

Everyone's understanding and meaning of feelings is different. What Suotian can give is just this. According to his temperament, being able to treat me like this is something he himself never expected.

I didn't deepen the hug, I just let Suo Tian embrace me, with different pictures constantly jumping in my mind.

The moment Gao gave the news that Suotian might die, many things sprouted from my bones.

Life is only a few decades long, and whether it is the end of the world or not, it is just an experience in these decades for us.

As long as we are alive, our emotions are still there, and our minds are still there, that is enough.

Just like Suotian, even if he can't give me daily companionship and the sweet affection of ordinary people like other people's boyfriends and husbands, what does it matter? I love him, and that's enough.

When I heard the news that he might die, I only remembered the scene in my mind when I visited the grave of a cousin who died in a car accident. She had held her husband for just over a year in her arms for less than a hundred days.

The child accompanied her aunt and uncle, crying so hard that she almost fainted several times.

The words on the inscription were written by my brother-in-law who insisted on going his own way. They are a little less serious and rigid, and have a little more despair and sadness.

But at that time I was thinking, no matter how perfect the inscription is, what's its use? It's just a cold stone. My cousin can't scold her brother-in-law with a blushing smile like before.

It's like... if Suotian is gone, who else will be like this, hugging me silently because of heartache.

........

The camp is located in a large dense forest to the west of the river beach we were at before. Suotian and the others set up their tents in a low-lying area there.

There is a small stream next to the low-lying land, with a lot of dry grass in it. By next spring, the stream here will be covered by dense grass.

Suotian and Gao should have already contacted each other. We just need to wait here until they arrive the next day.

We walked for most of the day, and it was almost dusk when we arrived. They caught a lot of fish and shrimp in the river. In such a mountain forest, fish and shrimp seem to be the most reliable food.

In the evening, I roasted the fish in front of the fire, boiled some water and drank it, and I felt that my whole body was smooth.

Suotian was still talking to Bearded Brother Jie and the others about their plans for the next day. I listened for a while. In fact, I spent most of the time staring at Suotian's face and getting distracted.

With a calm expression, he took out a hand-drawn map and gave precise instructions to the people around him by the light of the fire.

Looking at his calm face, I suddenly recalled in my mind what Suo Tian said to me before, 'Only the strong can survive.'

Looking at Suotian at this moment, he exhaled slightly and sighed, people are really different.

I turned back and got into the tent. I walked on the mountain road for almost a day today, and I barely slept last night. I was so tired that I couldn't even lift my eyelids.

Just listening to Suotian's voice whispering to them outside the tent, I fell asleep with a smile on my face.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.

The seat next to him became empty. He stretched out his hand and touched it. There was still warmth. Suotian must have just woken up.

I don't even know what time he entered the tent last night...

I stretched myself and climbed out of the tent, just in time to pick up the team members outside who were changing shifts.

The bearded man yawned and squatted next to Suotian who was grilling fish by the fire. He stared at the fish for a few moments and before he could speak hastily, Suotian turned to look at him and said, "Do you want to eat?"

The bearded man nodded honestly.

“Bake it yourself.”

.... As if he had guessed Suotian's answer, the bearded man was stunned for two seconds. He shook his head and sighed as he picked up other raw fish and started grilling them. While grilling, he sighed: "This man is

Iron, rice is steel. If you don’t eat one meal, you will feel hungry. I will grill the fish for my wife, and I will grill the fish for myself.”

I couldn't help laughing, so I walked over and sat down next to Suo Tian. I looked at the bearded man and said, "Is it possible that you are still jealous of me?"

The bearded man glanced sideways at me: "It's not that bad. Before you came, the head of the family only liked me."

Bang! As soon as he finished speaking, a bottle of mineral water hit the bearded man on the head.

Suotian looked at him twice, took back the hand that smashed out the bottle, and handed the grilled fish to me.

The big beard was deflated, and he took advantage of Suotian to turn his head and glare at me fiercely.

I stuck out my tongue at him and started eating breakfast in a good mood.

As a result, before a fish was finished, news came from over there, saying that the man surnamed Gao was already two kilometers away from us. There was a cliff there that was difficult to get over. They did not have the equipment to cross the cliff, and they needed us to bring equipment to help.

They crossed the cliff.

Here, Suotian didn't seem to intend to disperse the small team. He glanced at Big Beard and I holding the fish, and said, "Take some food for the road and let's go."

Then I saw the bearded man and I who were following the team wolfing down the things in our hands.

In line with the principle of never wasting anything, Big Beard endured the fish in his hand even though it was not overcooked.

I wanted to persuade him to put it aside and grill it later, but he frowned and waved his hand: "No! What else do foreign devils eat... sashimi? I, the big boss, also got some fresh fish today... but I said
Chapter completed!
