Chapter 23 Section 8

Twenty-three years does not pass in the blink of an eye. Every day is an unforgettable torture. When the two saw the evening news together in the bar, they were silent.Lu Xuda guessed that Bo Xu should have been trembling with fright at that time, because his hands were too trembling to be able to hold the cup steadily.That night the two drank unconsciously and slept at both ends of the street. Since then, no one has mentioned this matter, and no one has launched a life-changing project. Boxu's great thesis became a piece of paper with no follow-up, and the two of them changed from close friends who fought side by side to the strangest strangers. They quickly avoided seeing them from a distance in the staff cafeteria. They never passed the phone once. Unexpectedly, they avoid each other's eyes when they pass by each other.Boxu applied for a transfer after three years.

This secret is like a thick and rusty chain that has been shackled in the hearts of Bo Xu and Lu Xuda for many years. It wasn't until the farewell ceremony that day that Lu Xuda dared to stare into Bo Xu's eyes in the black and white photo. "So it really happened." Lu Xu gnawed on the delicious roasted frog legs, closed his eyes and savored the taste: "A person will really find the meaning of life in a desperate situation where he will die at any time. Haha... the meaning of life is that he absolutely does not want to eat frogs die before." When the frog finally had no bones left, Lu Xuda had a new understanding of the meaning of life.

"I really want to eat one more frog...just one more...just one more..." He looked at Shen Shen ahead, completely unsure whether relying on the energy generated by the frog he just ate into his stomach would be enough for him to find the next frog that died halfway. This walk took another thirteen days. At the edge of the jungle, when the sallow and emaciated Lu Xuda saw the first "person", he fainted from excitement.
