Chapter 408 The End of Efforts
At this moment, countless ominous thoughts swirled in my mind, such as whether the tofu was also smoked, leaving no bones left.

All the clues point to an unknown development.

What will happen to a living person if he is captured by a corpse fairy who can eat others?
I just felt my hands and feet were cold, and the blood in my whole body was hot. Although my muscles were trembling due to the exhaustion of the previous climbing, I still couldn't help running along the footprints. There was only one thought in my mind: I have to catch up with it.

After running for two steps, I suddenly thought of the mute, and when I turned my head, I saw him standing in the wind and snow, his face expressionless, the cold sweat on his face, in the cold wind, a fine layer of frost had formed, and the bandage was covered with cold sweat. The blood seemed to be frozen.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't cry out that he was tired, but at this moment I could see that the mute's always indifferent and haughty eyes were out of focus.Lu Su had no intention of caring about the mute, and walked forward on his own. In the end, I could only turn around and say to the mute, "I'll carry you."

The mute's dilated pupils slowly focused on me, and finally he let out a hum, and fell down.I couldn't help smiling wryly, carried the person on my back, and walked down the mountain with difficulty in the wind and snow.Because I carried a person on my back, my pace slowed down a lot. Lu Su ignored me and quickly chased after me. His figure quickly disappeared into the white snow. At this moment, I could only stare at the ground for a long time. A shallow two-row footprint advances.

I was walking with difficulty in the snow with my dumb on my back. It seemed that there were only the two of us left in the world. Apart from the sound of the wind and snow, the only sound left was my breathing.I had a lot of thoughts in my head, and finally they all came together in one place.

What if the tofu dies?
The mute passed out completely, and the footprints became thinner and thinner. In this extreme environment, people's endurance was developed to the limit.Although I have good physical strength, it is reasonable to say that I can't last so long, but at this time, I walked for two hours in the wind and snow with the dumb on my back, and even in the end, my body didn't feel tired anymore. No, just move forward mechanically.

I even thought about throwing the dumb one away.I am not a kind person, and I have done many things that violate my conscience. Not long ago, in order to survive, I allowed Lu Su to kill the messenger who saved me twice. There is not much conscience left in me. up.

But when I had this idea, many things popped up in my mind,
For example, the cold eyes of the statement in the photo, the appearance of my grandfather when he was dying, and the sentence that Tofu said to me a long time ago: Thank you, you are such a good person, let's be good friends in the future.Immediately afterwards, the appearance of Gu Wenmin appeared vaguely... These people walked around in my mind as if turning off the lights, and finally the pair of cold and emotionless eyes of Chen Yi were infinitely enlarged in front of my eyes, as if in front of me. Another world stared at me coldly.

Then I found that I could only hold people back tighter. Subconsciously, I thought: I have given up a lot of things, but there are some bottom lines that cannot be compromised.

I didn't know how long it was like this, and suddenly I saw Lu Su's shadow again, and there was a man with a big beard standing beside him.

When I walked up to the two of them, the bearded man was taken aback. Only then did I know that I had already reached the place where the camp was set up. It was only a few days ago that the bearded man and Jizi stayed outside.The bearded man felt that he had brought medicine and food, so I waved my hand, pointed to the comatose dumb, and said, "Take care of him first." As soon as I said the words, I realized that my words were like being pricked by needles.

I have been following my footsteps, why did I come here?
Lu Su brought me a bowl of water, knelt down, sighed, and said, "I lost it, half of the footprints disappeared." I didn't make a sound.Lu Su said again: "I searched all around, and only found this..."

Lu Su handed me something, which was the buffalo horn he gave me at that time.Later, I was concerned about Tofu's lack of skills, so I handed it over to Tofu. This kid has been wearing it close to his body, and put it in his winter clothes, so it shouldn't fall out.

Holding the horn in my hand, I couldn't tell what it was like, I only knew that my hand was shaking uncontrollably.

I said: "I'll look for it again..." Lu Su didn't stop me, and the bearded man fed and fed the dumb man. In the wind and snow, I kept calling out the name of Tofu, and I stopped by to greet Puzhen's eighteen generations of ancestors. Till finally lying on the snowy ground tired, there was still no response.

The moment I fell, I felt a string snap in my mind.

Everything that followed was almost in a state of confusion. Due to the serious injury of the mute, we could not stay, so after I fainted and woke up, I started to go out of the mountain. A group of people rushed in, and finally only The remaining soldiers were defeated. '

After the mute was settled, I took the men and horses to the snow-capped mountains again.This time I organized it by myself. I teamed up with a group of people to search for people in the mountains. After more than ten days in a row, they still found nothing, and finally had to go back to Shenzhen like a bereaved dog.

The mute was arranged to be treated in the hospital. After Lu Suxueshan left, he didn't know what he was up to. Although he didn't leave Shenzhen, some news would come out from time to time. When I asked about it, I couldn't help but feel complicated. It turned out that I was also looking for someone.

Lu Su made friends all over the world, and he was very good at finding people. After a while, almost everyone in the circle knew the name of Tofu. Even so, there was still no news.

This time, I spent almost all of the cash on hand, and only this shop is still operating slowly. At this moment, more than half a month has passed since the trip to the snow-capped mountains, but I feel that my body is back. The soul seems to be still trapped in the boundless wind and snow.

Everything around was still the same, and Cyclops didn't ask me what happened, but he knew that I had gone to fight that time, and when he saw that Tofu didn't come back, he also guessed something, so he sighed all day long.But he recovered faster than me, and persuaded me: "Boss, this is the way it is in this business. It's been more than half a month... Hey, let's just let it go."

In fact, right now I hardly feel sad, I just feel muddled, unable to think for a long time.

I grew up without parents, and I have few relatives around.

At the age of 14, my grandfather disappeared.Since then, although many people have come and gone, there is only one brother who has shared weal and woe and lived through life and death. To others, this is just a good brother and friend, but to me, this is my closest person.

But now... this person is gone.

There is no sound of tofu and cyclops fighting in the shop, it is lifeless, there are antiques on the shelves, after the vicissitudes of time, they were dug out from the graves of the dead, and they are also lifeless.The beautiful woman in the cheongsam in the opposite shop wanted to strike up a conversation with me, and asked pretendingly, "Hey, where did Handsome Dou go? Aren't you two always inseparable from Meng? Don't you want to fall in love?"

I gave her a cold look, told Cyclops to close the door, and said that I would not be doing business today.

Cyclops coaxed Qiqi out angrily, and said: "No matter how elegant clothes are worn on you, you will look seductive. Our boss has a girlfriend, so don't flirt with me if it's okay." I was going to go upstairs , but didn't hear the sound of closing the door for a long time. Looking back, he found that Cyclops' closing the door was stopped by a slender white hand.

The owner of the hand is Gu Wenmin.

I didn't know what to say for a while, so I said to her: "Come in." Immediately afterwards, I asked Cyclops to close the shop and close the business.

After a while, the two of us reached the second floor. She looked around the room and said, "This room hasn't been cleaned for a long time."

I didn't answer her, and said, "Wen Min, why are you here when you have time?"

She looked at me with dark eyes, and her voice was clear and gentle: "I miss you very much, so I took a long vacation."

I was still a little confused, and said, "My boyfriend is really incompetent, I should go to see you..." Before she finished speaking, she put her arms around my neck, her voice was a little unstable, and said, "Why don't you tell me?" Me? I know you are sad now, I want to be with you, Chen Xuan, you and me."

At this moment, I felt that my eyes were hot and uncomfortable, and my brain, which had been muddled for many days, suddenly woke up. I hugged the person in my arms tightly, sucked in the quiet breath, and couldn't say a word for a long time. talk.

I don't know how long it took, I felt that all the strength in my body was exhausted, so I slowly let go of my hand, but my soul seemed to have been freed from that snow mountain.Gu Wenmin said slowly: "It was Mr. Zhuan who told me that the news of Lu Su's search for someone has been spreading in your circle. Xiaodou...forget it, I know you don't want to recall this matter anymore. Chen Xuan , you have to cheer up, I will always be by your side."

She took a long vacation, and the next few days should be regarded as the most peaceful time. We temporarily forgot everything around us, forgot about the tofu, forgot the curse, and lived with an escape-like mentality.

I've never been one to sit still, but this time, I've tried my best, and the result of my best efforts is that I failed to rescue my grandfather, and even hurt my best brother.

So far, what am I left with?What else can I do?
Damn it, damn it.

Come on, let's see what else you can do.
