Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

At this moment, Huang Qixia didn't realize that her reaction was very similar to that of a little girl who had lost her relatives in the crowd. She looked isolated, helpless and pitiful... She would never show her weakness in public. This was the first time.

She seemed to be left alone in the rainstorm, and the noisy sound of people around her was like the falling raindrops.

Left behind again?

When she thought of this, her inner panic began to intensify, her heartbeat became more intense, and her chest began to ache.

Unbearable loneliness, emptiness and bitterness once again filled the space around her, pressing her toward the center. The weight of fate made her breathless, as if she had returned to the past in an instant, and she no longer had the courage and tenacity she once had. She began to be afraid, afraid of being alone.

What if you are really left behind?

When she thought of this, a strong impulse arose from her fingertips and spread to her heart, like a flash of lightning passing through her mind.

Then take it back.

No matter what, no matter what, I must take back... my own peace of mind.

She took a step forward, not even considering that there were only ordinary people around, and she forced her way through the crowd.

then……

"Why did you follow me?"

A voice sounded in front of her, and the young man holding the bill in his hand asked curiously.

Bai Yu stood in the crowd, like a ray of light that dispelled the dark and invisible things around him, like holding up an umbrella, creating a small area of ​​peace in the world as noisy as the sound of rain.

Although it is very small and can only accommodate two people, when he stands here, the flow of people will automatically move around, leaving a small space that is big enough for two people to stop and stay.

After hearing the voice, Huang Qixia suddenly raised her head. The uneasiness and burning in her pounding heart were smoothed out. She looked at him blankly, like a little monster that had just decided to destroy the world and was awakened, with a look of confusion in her clear eyes.

Her gaze paused, then focused... her disordered thoughts were brought under control, her chaotic ideas were suppressed, her heartbeat was still noisy, but she was no longer irritated, she quietly raised her chin, and once again became as obedient as a doll.

Then, she took a step closer, leaned gently against Bai Yu's body, and hugged him.

All the reactions of passers-by around her had nothing to do with her and became insignificant background.

"I thought you left me," she whispered.

"Why would I leave you behind?" Bai Yu was even more puzzled: "I went to pay. It only took three minutes..."

He felt a little helpless, but also a little amused: "When did you become so clingy?"

Although I can understand Huang Qixia's lack of security, but to this point... hey, it's all their fault.

Bai Yu snorted inwardly.

You guys have forced the good Lord Phoenix to this point of mental stress, this is simply a heinous crime!

He reached out and gently rubbed her cheek, his fingers gently rubbing across her brow: "Okay, you can act coquettishly later, there are so many people watching."

Many passers-by were already watching the fun. Many of them were secretly laughing and sighing how great it was to be young, while others were gritting their teeth and saying things like "a wise man never falls in love and a goblin never leaves his cave."

Bai Yu held Huang Qixia's hand and walked forward, passing through the crowd. The two people, wearing couple outfits, ran away amid good-natured laughter, feeling quite embarrassed... It was not that they were not used to being noticed, but they were worried about being recognized and causing a commotion.

He didn't notice at all that Huang Qixia was being pulled by the wrist, and the scenery she saw was different from his, and what she was thinking was also completely different.

She just felt that as long as she stayed with Bai Yu, even this dull and boring daily life would become lively and vivid.

The two were running in the crowd, the surrounding lights were shining down, and the ordinary scene was like a flowing curtain, the light formed lines, and the echoing noise was no longer harsh, because she could not hear it at all, because the sound of her heartbeat was so loud that it could not accommodate other sounds.

She thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to just run all the way to the end of the world while being held by the hand.

The other person is like a ray of light, guiding oneself forward, through the long and deep darkness, escaping from the dull and repetitive daily life, and going to a relaxed world without fate.

We will definitely be able to reach it...

She squeezed his hand a little harder.

must be able to.

……

A person's character has certain innate factors, but most of it is the result of acquired influences.

Huang Qixia's personality defects are caused by many factors, the most direct reason is her mental unsoundness.

Huang Qixia's life is incomplete.

She only had the title of Jiaoyang's first seat, but actually had very little that belonged to her.

Her life trajectory is twisted.

Without the care of parents, I was unfamiliar with the world and had to rely on traveling thousands of miles to measure and understand the world.

She should have gradually realized the meaning and value of life in this process.

But she was too strong. Her strength allowed her to protect herself, but it also hindered her opportunity to see the world from an ordinary person's perspective.

Before she had the chance to become an ordinary person, she had already become the leader of Jiaoyang. Lacking the down-to-earth daily necessities, how could she understand the joys and sorrows of ordinary people?

And what follows is the cruel truth.

She was born as a female evil, destined to become the summoning sacrifice of the Demon Ancestor.

In order to fight against this fate, she made a vow.

But no matter whether she chooses to accept or resist, she no longer has the time to take care of her own pursuits. She has little energy to think about what she likes or hates.

She did not lose interest in the outside world, but she felt like a heavy mountain was pressing on her shoulders. She had no spare time to think about where to go for an outing tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

For more than ten years, she had no life goals of her own, no meaning in life of her own. The only thing she had... was the will to fight against fate. Apart from that, she had almost nothing.

Therefore, she will be madly obsessed with the hobbies she can grasp.

Her only hobby is watching the sea of ​​clouds, so she has been able to watch them for so many years without getting tired of it.

But the sea of ​​clouds was not hers. She could not own it, nor could she monopolize it. It was not enough to completely fill the hunger and loneliness in her heart.

Many people are like this in real life.

If there is something missing, they will seek alternatives through other means. If they can't get the high-end version, they will buy the monkey version.

Just like many erinaceus, they essentially project their most beautiful aspirations and yearnings for love into their works. They know that they cannot obtain them in reality, but they cannot completely let go. They can only seek comfort in virtual works, and eventually become deeply trapped in them. This is essentially a compensatory psychology.

This cannot be said to be unhealthy, but rather a self-protection mechanism.

After all, who can say that the paper man is not a beggar’s version of a perfect wife?

The same is true for Huang Qixia, but the threshold for triggering her compensatory mechanism is too high.

Ordinary hobbies are not enough to dispel her pressure. With the sword of Damocles hanging over her head all the time, she cannot fill the void in her heart through normal hobbies and will soon feel bored or even uninterested.

Because she knew very well that those hobbies could not bring her any benefits, nor could they free her from the heavy pressure of fate.

The premise of compensation is the establishment of substitute literature.

But the proposition that Huang Qixia shoulders is too grand, and she is completely unable to gain any sense of accomplishment from any of her interests... Even in popular novels, TV series, and movies, there is no room for a character like her who is born a villain to whitewash herself.

A character like her is either the one who uses the beauty trap of her schoolmate but ultimately fails in front of the protagonists who are shouting "love, justice, friendship and victory", or the one who is schemed by the mastermind behind the scenes and becomes a sacrifice with the title of white lotus, shedding two lines of tears to express her sadness and unwillingness before her demise, and then ignites the protagonists' fighting spirit and successfully fills their anger gauge before the final boss battle begins.

It can be said that the sense of immersion is extremely poor.

Therefore, Huang Qixia has been waiting, or rather, searching... searching for something that can free her from the burden of fate.

It is not a specific person or event, perhaps a miracle, or perhaps an opportunity.

She waited and searched desperately, going down the mountain every year to get the slightest clue.

Helping Bai Yu was also based on this purpose. She traveled thousands of miles to Penglai just to see him and to confirm whether he was what she thought.

As long as he can be her antidote, she will give up everything and burn for him.

Huang Qixia had remained reserved before only because she was not sure.

And after seeing with her own eyes that miracle has occurred, she will hold on to it tightly, even to the point of madness in her demands.

From being the one who gives and helps, to being the one who takes and depends on others.

For Huang Qixia, this miracle is the white elm.

Under the combined effects of compensatory psychology and compensation psychology.

That's why she reacted like this.

She almost never leaves his side, never stopping, and her eyes are always following where he is.

Leaving it for even a moment will immediately cause severe anxiety and depression, like a withdrawal reaction.

If under the guidance of such serious psychological effects, a magical catalyst called "love" is added... no one can predict the result of the chemical reaction.

There is no doubt that Huang Qixia is sick.

It is still a very serious disease, almost to the point of being incurable.

Even top psychologists would shake their heads after seeing this.

Because the disease is called...

……

The top of Changbai Mountain, a vast snowfield.

"There are signs of a stay here... It's instant noodles with braised beef flavor, and two starch sausages." An archer picked up the empty plastic box.

Another archer spat, "Damn, he eats better than me. I've been taking fasting pills these past two days and I'm almost constipated."

"Where are you going?"

"The traces have been covered by heavy snow, so it's a bit difficult to continue tracking. The Qi-gazing technique points to the south, so they want to go south next."

"Continue the search."

"Are you sure? We brothers haven't slept for three days and three nights. We need to take a break."

"You guys go down the mountain and find a place to rest. I'll continue the pursuit."

"Stop messing around! Dijiexing, I know you have a bad temper in your heart, but in your current state, you won't be able to deal with either Bai Yujing or Huang Qixia even if you chase them."

"I know it well."

Speak, the shadow flashed by.

The other archers looked helpless and had to grit their teeth and follow.

Dijiexing was galloping on a horse, with a breath of fresh air and a fire in his heart.

"White elm..."

"You can't escape..."

Chapter 824: The Yellow River Sets

For the rest of the day, neither of them rested, but drove forward.

If they were to walk alone, their speed would be much faster than driving, but this would inevitably be easier to detect and feel.

Flying is not a difficult task for Bai Yu and Huang Qixia, but it will inevitably cause quite a bit of noise. In comparison, it is more cost-effective to buy a car for transportation.

Bai Yu purchased this car directly from a used car manufacturer. Due to the lack of various procedures and identification documents, he asked for a premium of about 30%. The other party naturally agreed and let him drive the car away.

No transfer of ownership was completed, even the license plate was borrowed.

Such a transaction has no guarantees at all, but Bai Yu was just trying to save trouble. Even if the other party wanted to blackmail him, it would be too late because he had already driven away from Jilin Province.

He doesn't have a driver's license, and this second-hand fuel car is completely incomparable to the driving experience of a new energy vehicle. The chassis is a double-link plus McPherson, and it is quite large. Driving it is like driving a boat, which is completely incomparable to the driving experience of a wind chaser.

However, the Wind Chaser looks too domineering, and the license plate is in the name of the Shenwu Division, so it is easily noticed.

After enduring this not-so-good driving experience for about a day and a half, he went directly to another city and changed his car. After changing to a tram, the driving experience was much better.

Going south all the way, we are already close to the edge of the Yellow River.

He was lucky on the road and only encountered traffic police checking driver's licenses twice. He was almost checked once, and he thought he might have to expose his identity. As a result, a couple behind him showed road rage and attracted the attention of the traffic police, allowing him to slip away.

Although I am not on the wanted list and have become a walking fugitive of half a million, I still feel the thrill of being a fugitive.

When they arrived at the edge of the Yellow River, Bai Yu found a parking lot and parked the car.

Huang Qixia opened the passenger door: "Why don't you just drive over there?"

"We can find a ferry to transport the car over here to avoid the inspection." Bai Yu stood by the river and put his hand into the clear water. "Or we can just leave the car here and walk across the river after dark."

A Grandmaster could cross the river on a reed stick. For the two who had already learned to walk in the air, crossing the Yellow River was not much more difficult than jumping on a wooden horse.

At this time, there was an autumn drizzle in the sky, and the drizzle was as fine as cow hair, falling on the hair and shoulders of the two people.
