Chapter 4 The fourth fate

Famous masters of swordsmanship and swordsmanship often think that using two swords and two swords is a stupid, even ridiculous thing. In the eyes of masters of marksmanship, double pistols are simply not a type of gun. Because martial arts is like many other things in the world, more is not necessarily good. A person with seven fingers on his hand is not necessarily better at acupuncture than a person with only five fingers. For a person who is really good at acupuncture, it is enough to use only one finger. But those who use two swords and two swords also have their reasons. "People obviously have two hands, why do they only use one weapon?"

No matter which reasoning is more correct, no one would think that Gao Li is ridiculous now. His double spears are like the horns of a poisonous dragon and the wings of a flying eagle. He rushed in front of Ximenyu, his gun flew out, and this gun flew out, which meant that the bloody battle had begun. But Qiu Fengwu still didn't move, because Ximenyu didn't move either, and didn't even look at Gao Li. His eyes were fixed on Qiu Fengwu's hand, the hand holding the sword. Qiu Fengwu could already feel the cold sweat on his hands. Ximenyu suddenly smiled and said, "If I were you, I would have put down this sword right now."

Qiu Fengwu said: "Oh!" Ximen Yu said: "Because if you let go of this sword, you may still have a chance to survive." Qiu Fengwu said: "How many chances are there?" Ximen Yu said: "Not many, but at least it's better than no chance at all." Qiu Fengwu said: "Gao Li has absolutely no chance." Ximen Yu said: "He has good marksmanship. Among the masters of spears, he can almost be regarded as the best one." Qiu Fengwu said: "You are very fair." Ximen Yu said: "I have seen his marksmanship, and I have seen him kill people. No one in the world can understand his martial arts better than me."

Qiu Fengwu said: "I know you must pay attention to him." Ximen Yu said: "I also know Mao Zhan and Ding Gan very well." Qiu Fengwu said: "Do you think they are enough to deal with Gao Li?" Ximen Yu said: "At least it's almost there." Qiu Fengwu said: "What about me?" Ximen Yu said: "Of course I know you very well." Qiu Fengwu said: "You and Ma Feng are enough to deal with me." Ximenyu smiled and said, "It's too much." Qiu Fengwu said: "You came here only after your calculations?" Ximen Yu said: "If you know yourself and the enemy, you can win every battle. If I don't have a certainty, how can I come here?"

Qiu Fengwu let out a long breath suddenly, like a person who was drifting in the sea and was about to drown suddenly found land. "Ximenyu, who is sure of everything, made a miscalculation after all." He didn't count Jin Kaijia. Of course, he would never have imagined in his dreams that the great thunder god who ruled the world in the past was also here. "Whether it's a lot or a little mistake, it can be a fatal mistake." The mistake he made this time was really big. Qiu Fengwu nodded slowly, and said: "You are indeed very accurate, the four of you are indeed enough to deal with the two of us."

Although he didn't see Jin Kaijia now, he knew that Jin Kaijia would definitely appear at the most appropriate time. He could hardly help laughing. The two guns fluttered, and the flashing silver light was reflected on his face. He had never looked so relaxed. Ximenyu stared at his face, then smiled again, and said, "I know there is another person here." Qiu Fengwu said: "You know?" Ximenyu said indifferently: "So there are more than four of us here." Qiu Fengwu sighed, and said: "Although I didn't see it, I finally thought about it." Ximen Yu said: "Oh!"

The flying knives and guns were right behind him, less than two feet away from him. Swords and guns collided with each other, making thrilling sounds from time to time, and the biting wind of the sword had already messed up his bun. But there was not even a single muscle trembling on his face. Qiu Fengwu couldn't help but admire him, he had never seen such a calm person. He also smiled and said, "Is there anyone else? Are they planning to set fire behind?" Ximen Yu said: "Yes." Qiu Fengwu said: "First set fire to cut off my escape route, and then go around to the front and attack you back and forth."

Ximen Yu said: "You seem to know me very well." Qiu Fengwu said: "I learn quickly." Ximenyu sighed, "You could have been my good helper." His eyes suddenly moved away from Qiu Fengwu's body, and moved to Shuangshuang's body. Shuangshuang was still standing at the door, standing in the sun. She held on to the door with her slender and thin hands, as if she might fall down at any moment. But she didn't fall. Her body seemed to be completely stiff, and there was an indescribable expression on her face. Although she didn't fall down, her whole body seemed to have completely collapsed.

You can never imagine what a sad gesture and expression that was. Qiu Fengwu couldn't bear to turn around to look at her, suddenly smiled again, and said, "Is there a fire?" Ximen Yu said: "Not yet." Qiu Fengwu said: "Why not?" Ximen Yu said, "Are you worried about me?" Qiu Fengwu said: "I'm afraid they won't set fire." Ximen Yu said: "Anyone can set fire." Qiu Fengwu said: "There is only one kind of people who can't." Ximen Yu said: "Dead." Qiu Fengwu smiled. At this moment, Ximen Yu rushed past him and rushed towards Shuang Shuang.Ma Feng, who had been lying under the shade of the tree, also suddenly jumped up, and the pale blue sword light flashed, piercing Qiu Fengwu's neck.

But at this moment, two figures suddenly flew over from behind the house, and fell to the ground with a "bang". Ximenyu didn't look at these two people, because he had already calculated that they were dead people - he had already realized that he had made a mistake. Now he's aiming for both. He could also see Gao Li's feelings for Shuangshuang. As long as Shuangshuang can be held hostage, even if this battle cannot be won, at least they can retreat unscathed. Shuangshuang didn't move, and didn't dodge. But a person appeared behind her. A godlike giant. Jin Kaijia just stood casually at the door, as if he was completely unguarded.

But anyone can see that it is not easy to knock him down. There was no expression on his face, and a pair of dead gray eyes looked at Ximenyu coldly.He didn't try to stop him, but Ximenyu's movement stopped suddenly, as if he had hit an invisible stone wall. This one-armed man with neither expression nor vigilance seemed to have an indescribable murderous aura about him. The muscles in the corners of Ximenyu's eyes seemed to have tightened, she stared at him, and said word by word: "Your name?" Jin Kaijia said: "Jin!" Ximen Yu said, "Gold? Gold of gold?" He suddenly found the iron ax in the one-armed man's hand, and his whole body seemed to be stiff. "Great Thor!" Jin Kaijia said: "You can't think of it?" Ximenyu sighed, smiled wryly, "I made a mistake, I shouldn't have come." Jin Kaijia said: "You have come." Ximen Yu said: "Can I go now?" Jin Kaijia said: "I can't." Ximen Yu said, "I can keep one hand." Jin Kaijia said: "One hand is not enough." Ximenyu said, "What else do you want?" Jin Kaijia said: "I want your life." Ximen Yu said: "No deal?" Jin Kaijia said: "No." Ximen Yu let out a long sigh and said, "Okay." He shot suddenly, and his target was Shuangshuang. Because he knew that Jin Kaijia must protect Shuangshuang. Protecting others is always more difficult than protecting oneself. Maybe Shuangshuang is Jin Kaijia's only weakness, the only empty door. Jin Kaijia didn't protect both of them. He knew that the best defense was to attack. With a wave of his hand, the iron ax slashed down. This ax is simple and pure, without any change, and without any backlash—this ax does not need any change or backlash. The straight iron ax is originally the simplest move in martial arts. But this trick has changed back after thousands of changes. This ax has returned to its original nature and is almost perfect. No one can describe the strange and subtle power of this axe, nor can anyone understand it. Not even Ximenyu herself. When he saw the iron ax slashing down, he could already feel the cold and sharp ax hitting himself. When he heard the wind of the iron ax, he also heard the sound of his own bones breaking. He could hardly believe it was real. How could death be such an illusory thing?There is neither pain nor fear. When he hadn't seriously thought about death, suddenly, death had grabbed his life. Then there was a never-ending darkness. Shuangshuang still didn't move, but tears were slowly streaming down her face... Suddenly, there was another scream. When Qiu Fengwu felt that Ma Feng was a formidable opponent, Ma Feng made a fatal mistake. He swung his sword too high, and his lower abdomen was exposed. Qiu Fengwu didn't even think about it, the sword had already pierced his stomach. Ma Feng's men jumped on their swords like fish on a hook. When he fell, the blood flowed out, and it happened to fall on himself. He also died very quickly. Mao Zhan seemed to be completely insane. Because he already smelled blood, he was as crazy as a hungry beast that smelled blood. This madness is already close to death. He could no longer see anyone else, only the gun flying in Gao Li's hand. Ding Gan was already stepping back step by step, turned around suddenly, and was stunned again. Qiu Fengwu was waiting there, looked at him coldly, and said coldly: "You want to leave again?" Ding Gan licked his dry lips and said, "I said, I still want to live." Qiu Fengwu said: "You also said that in order to survive, you are willing to do anything." Ding Gan said: "I said so." Qiu Fengwu said: "Now you can do one thing for me." Ding Gan's eyes showed hope again, and he immediately asked, "What's the matter?" Qiu Fengwu said: "Is Mao Zhan your good friend?" Ding Gan said: "I have no friends." Qiu Fengwu said: "Okay, if you kill him, I won't kill you." Ding Gan didn't say anything, his hand was already raised. Three scimitars flew out like lightning, and all three scimitars were nailed into Mao Zhan's left chest. Mao Zhan let out a wild roar, and suddenly turned around. He could no longer see Gao Li, nor could he see the flying silver spear. The silver gun has stopped. He stared at Ding Gan, and walked forward step by step, the blood on his chest kept flowing down. Ding Gan's face was completely pale, he stepped back step by step, and said in a low voice: "You can't blame me, even if I die with you, it will do no good." Mao Zhan gritted his teeth, blood was already dripping from the corner of his mouth. Ding Gan suddenly sneered and said, "But don't think that I'm afraid of you. It's just a matter of lifting my hands to kill you now." His hand is raised again. Then his expression suddenly changed, because he found that both of his arms had been held by someone. Mao Zhan is still walking forward step by step. But Ding Qian could no longer move, could no longer retreat. Qiu Fengwu's hands were like two iron hoops, tightly holding his arm. Ding Gan's face turned pale, and he tremblingly said: "Let me go, you promised me to let me go." Qiu Fengwu said lightly: "I will never kill you." Ding Gan said: "But he..." Qiu Fengwu said indifferently: "If he wants to kill you, what does it have to do with me?" Ding Gan suddenly screamed, like a beast caught in a trap. Then he stopped even breathing. Mao Zhan had already arrived in front of him, slowly pulled out a scimitar, and slowly stabbed into his chest—— After all three scimitars pierced his chest, he was still screaming, and fell down screaming. Mao Zhan watched him fall, turned around suddenly, and gave Qiu Fengwu a deep bow. He said nothing. He cut his throat with the knife in his hand. No one moved, no sound. Blood slowly seeped into the sun-drenched earth, and the corpses of the dead seemed to have begun to dry up. Shuangshuang finally fell down. Qiu Fengwu looked at her, as if watching a flower gradually wither... The sun shines on the earth. Jin Kaijia swung the iron ax and slashed down heavily, as if he wanted to vent the grief and anger in his heart on the ground. The earth was speechless. It can not only conceive life, but also accept death. When flowers bloom on the ground, it may also be the time when corpses rot underground. The grave has been dug. Jin Kaijia lifted Ximenyu's body and threw it down. Is it also so easy to bury a person's happiness and hope? All he knew was that their happiness and hope had been buried, and now he could only watch it rot in the ground. You are kinder sometimes to taking a man's life than his hope. He really couldn't imagine how a person who had no hope could survive.He himself is alive because, though he is not happy, he still has hope.What about Shuang Shuang?He never shed a tear, never will. But as long as he thinks of Shuangshuang's face full of joy and confidence, it feels like a needle is pricking his heart. Now he only hoped that those two young men would comfort her and keep her alive; he was old himself. Comforting women is the job of young people, old people can only dig graves for the dead. He walked over, bent down and picked up Ma Feng's body. Ma Feng's body suddenly came back to life. Ma Feng did not die. The abdomen is not the vital point of a person. Most people have been pierced in the abdomen, but they can still live. People who think that the abdomen is the key are just an illusion. Ma Feng took advantage of this illusion and intentionally took Qiu Fengwu's sword. Just as Jin Kaijia lifted him up, his sword had pierced into Jin Kaijia's waist until it reached the hilt. The sword is still on Jin Kaijia's body, but Ma Feng has already fled. He took the best opportunity to escape. Because he knew that Gao Li and Qiu Fengwu would definitely find a way to save people first, and then chase him. So he didn't want Jin Kaijia to die immediately. When Gao Li and Qiu Fengwu rushed out, Jin Kaijia had already collapsed. Now he was lying on his back on the ground, gasping for breath, and said in a low voice, "Where's both of you?" Now he cares about others. Gao Li barely endured the grief in his heart, and said: "She is too weak, she hasn't woken up yet." Jin Kaijia said: "You should let her sleep for a while, and when she wakes up, tell her that I'm gone." He coughed violently, and said again: "You must not tell her that I am dead, and you must not..." Gao Li said: "You are not dead yet, you will never die." Jin Kaijia forced a smile and said: "Death is not a big deal, why do you have to act like this, it makes me feel really uncomfortable." Qiu Fengwu also forced a smile, wanted to say something cheerful, but couldn't. Jin Kaijia said: "Now you can't stay in this place anymore, the sooner you leave, the better." Qiu Fengwu said: "Yes." Jin Kaijia said: "Gao Li must take Shuangshuang with him." Qiu Fengwu said: "Don't worry, he will never abandon Shuang Shuang." Jin Kaijia said: "I also hope you promise me one thing." Qiu Fengwu said: "What's the matter?" Jin Kaijia said: "Go back, I want you to go back." Qiu Fengwu gritted his teeth and said, "Why do you want me to go back?" Jin Kaijia panted, "If you go back, they will never find you again, because no one would have thought that you would be the young master of Peacock Villa." Qiu Fengwu said: "But..." Jin Kaijia said: "They can't find you, so they can't find Gao Li, so for Gao Li, you should go back." Qiu Fengwu was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "I can take them back together." Jin Kaijia said: "Impossible." Qiu Fengwu said: "Why?" Jin Kaijia said: "There are a lot of people in Peacock Villa, and they have a lot of mouths. Seeing you bring two people like this back, the news will definitely leak out sooner or later." Qiu Fengwu said: "I don't believe they really dare to go to Peacock Villa." Jin Kaijia said: "I know you are not afraid of trouble, but I also know Gao Li's temper." He coughed for a long time before continuing: "He has always been a person who doesn't want to cause trouble for his friends. If you are really his friend, you should let him take Shuang Shuang to live the rest of their lives peacefully .” Qiu Fengwu said: "But he..." Jin Kaijia said: "If he really arrives at Peacock Villa, you will all regret it." Qiu Fengwu said: "Why?" Jin Kaijia said: "You don't have to ask me why, you must believe me..." He struggled, and it seemed that he couldn't even breathe. After a long time, he said word by word: "If you refuse to promise me, I will not die in peace." Qiu Fengwu clenched his fists and said, "Okay, I promise you. But you have to promise me one thing." Jin Kaijia reluctantly nodded. Qiu Fengwu said: "You can't die, absolutely can't die! Only if you are alive, can we deal with the Azure Dragon Society." He gritted his teeth, and continued: "Only when the Qinglong will disintegrate, can we all live a good life." Jin Kaijia said: "You will have a good life, but you don't need me." He forced a smile again, and continued: "You'd better remember, to defeat the Azure Dragon Society is definitely not something anyone can do, not even the owner of Peacock Ling." Qiu Fengwu said: "You..." Jin Kaijia said: "I can't even do it. If you want to defeat the Azure Dragon Society, you only need to remember four words." Qiu Fengwu said: "Which four words?" Jin Kaijia said: "Work together." "cooperate!" These four words are the last lesson left by this martial arts giant who has lived his entire life. He walked alone and traveled all over the world, but when he was dying, what he left behind were these four words. Because only then did he truly understand that there is absolutely no power in the world that can compare to "working together". Now he has said what he has to say. He knew his death had value. It is difficult to live with value, but it is even more difficult to die with value. dusk. The setting sun shines in from the window, shining in the corner of the house. Two mice came out of the corner of the room, swaggering about, because they thought the room was empty. There were people in the room, three of them. Gao Li and Qiu Fengwu stood upright in front of the bed, looking at both of them who were still sleeping. Rats scuttled past and back under their feet. They didn't move or sit down, as if they were punishing themselves. Isn't all the misfortune caused by the two of them? When they saw the mud covering Jin Kaijia's body, they did not shed tears, because they had remembered Jin Kaijia's words. "Death is not a big deal." Indeed not. Because although some people are dead, his spirit is still alive forever. Live in people's hearts. So death is not painful, it is the people who must live who suffer. Now that they looked at Shuangshuang, their tears couldn't help but flow down. Both are awake. As soon as she woke up, she immediately called Gao Li's name. Gao Li immediately took her hand, and said softly, "I'm here, I've always been here." Shuangshuang said: "I know—I know you will never leave me alone." Gao Li said: "I...I want you to understand one thing." Shuang Shuang said: "I already understand." A flower-like smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she continued: "I know you want to tell me that I am the most beautiful woman in the world, and what those people said were all intentional to anger me." Gao Li said: "They are not human at all, and what they say is not human at all." Shuang Shuang said: "I understand." She raised her hand and caressed Gao Li's face. Her own face was full of tenderness and pity, and she continued softly: "I also know that you are afraid of me being sad. In fact, I already know what kind of person I am. They don't need to tell me." Gao Li's heart tightened suddenly, he forced a smile and said, "But none of what they said is true." Shuang Shuang said softly: "Do you think I'm really a child? Do you think I can't even tell the truth from what others say?" Gao Li only felt that his heart was sinking, almost to the bottom of his feet. Shuang Shuang said: "But you don't need to be afraid of me being sad, and you don't need to be sad for me, because many years ago, I already knew that I was an ugly and weird little blind man." Her voice was still calm, and there was no trace of sadness or self-pity on her face.She went on softly: "At the beginning, of course, I was very sad and sad, but then I thought about it. Everyone has his own destiny, so everyone should accept his own destiny." , Live well." She caressed Gao Li's face, her voice was softer. "Although I am uglier than others, I don't blame others, because I am luckier than many people. Not only do I have kind parents, but I also have you." Qiu Fengwu was listening beside him, his throat seemed to be choked up. When he looked at Shuang Shuang, his eyes no longer showed pity and sympathy, but were full of admiration and respect. He couldn't imagine that there was such a strong and great heart in such a delicate and deformed body. Gao Li said shyly, "Since you already knew, why didn't you say it?" Shuang Shuang said: "I am for you." Gao Li said, "For me?" Shuang Shuang said: "I know you are good to me, I hope you can be happy when you are with me. But if I say it, you will feel sad for me." She sighed softly and said, "How can I make you feel bad when you treat me like this?" Gao Li looked at her with tears streaming down his face. He suddenly found himself the weaker and more selfish person among them.He took care of her and protected her, perhaps just for his own happiness, to give himself a chance to redeem himself, and to calm his mind.He had always hoped that in her smile, he could remove the blood from his hands.He has been running away, running away from others, running away from himself, running away from that feeling of guilt, and only with her can he get a moment of rest. Shuang Shuang said softly: "So I hope you don't feel sad for me, because I have never been sad for myself. As long as we are really happy together, it doesn't matter what I look like." He should have said these words, but she said them herself. He suddenly realized that she had been taking care of him and protecting him all these years.Without her, he might have gone mad and collapsed already. Shuangshuang continued: "Now do you understand what I mean?" Gao Li didn't say anything more. He knelt down, knelt down with sincerity. Looking at them, Qiu Fengwu couldn't help but burst into tears. He suddenly discovered something. God is always fair. Although it didn't give Shuangshuang a beautiful body, it gave her a beautiful heart. new grave. In fact, there are no graves at all. The soil has been patted tightly, and a long grass has been moved from a distance and spread on it. Now no one can see that the corpse of a peerless hero was buried under this land. This is the common meaning of Gao Li and Qiu Fengwu, they don't want anyone to disturb his heroic soul underground. There is no tombstone either. The tombstone is in their hearts: "He is not a god, but a man, a great man, and a great friend." His earth-shattering martial arts may be forgotten by others, but the things he did for them will definitely remain in their hearts forever. At dusk they came here again with wine, a large jar of wine. They took turns drinking the jar of wine, and then sprinkled all the rest on the land. Gao Li and Shuangshuang knelt down side by side: "This is our wedding wine." "I know you've been wanting to drink our wedding wine." "I will definitely take her with me and take good care of her. No matter where I go, I will never leave her again." "I will definitely want him to live well." They knew he must want them to live well.Nothing in the world can express their sincerity and respect for the dead more than this. Then Shuangshuang quietly retreated to the side, letting the two friends, who have lived and died together, cherished each other. The twilight is getting darker, and the ravens are whining in the wind forest, as if they are also mourning the parting of the world. Qiu Fengwu looked at Gao Li. Gao Li looked at Qiu Fengwu.What kind of words in the world can describe the emotion of parting? After an unknown amount of time, Qiu Fengwu finally forced a smile and said, "Do you know how blessed you are?" Gao Li also forced a smile and said, "I know." Qiu Fengwu said: "Now you don't need me to accompany you." Gao Li said: "Are you going back?" Qiu Fengwu said: "I promised, I must go back." Gao Li said, "I understand." Qiu Fengwu said: "What about you?" Gao Li said: "I also promised that we will live a good life." Qiu Fengwu said: "Where are you going?" Gao Li said: "The world is so big, we always have somewhere to go." Qiu Fengwu nodded slowly, and said, "But no matter where you are, you must find me in the future." Gao Li said: "Definitely." Qiu Fengwu said: "Bring her along." Gao Li said: "Of course." Qiu Fengwu suddenly stretched out his hand, held Gao Li's hand tightly, and said, "I want you to promise me one thing." Gao Li said: "You say." Qiu Fengwu said: "No matter what difficulties you have in the future, you must go to me." Night has come. Qiu Fengwu's lonely and thin figure has disappeared into the night. Gao Li hugged Shuangshuang lightly, feeling both happiness and sorrow in his heart. Shuang Shuang said softly: "You are really a lucky person." Gao Li nodded. Shuang Shuang said: "Very few people can make friends like him." Gao Li bowed his head, kissed the tip of her hair lightly, and said softly: "Very few people can marry a wife like you." He is indeed very happy, he has a good friend and a good wife. That's enough for anyone. But for some unknown reason, his heart was filled with sadness and fear, a kind of sadness and fear for the future. Because he is really not sure whether he can really live a good life. Shuang Shuang raised her head, and suddenly asked again: "Are you afraid?" Gao Li forced a smile and said, "I'm afraid? What are you afraid of?" Shuang Shuang said: "I'm afraid we won't be able to live well, I'm afraid those people will come to you again, I'm afraid we won't have a way to make a living." Gao Li was silent. He had always known what a burden life was. Shuang Shuang said: "Actually, you shouldn't be afraid. As long as a person has determination, there is always a way to survive." Gao Li said: "But..." Shuangshuang interrupted him and said, "I'm not afraid of suffering. As long as I can be with you, even if I suffer a little, I'm still happy." Gao Li said: "But I want to take good care of you, I want you to live a good life." Shuang Shuang said: "What kind of life can be considered a good life?" Gao Li didn't answer. He didn't know how to answer. Shuang Shuang said: "Eat well and dress well, it's not a good day. The most important thing is to see if you are happy in your heart. As long as you can be happy in your heart, I don't care about other things." There was an indescribable courage and determination on her gentle face. Gao Li slowly raised his chest and took her hand. His heart was suddenly full of determination and courage, and he knew that there was absolutely nothing in the world that could make him sad and afraid. For he is no longer alone. No longer alone - only those who have ever been truly alone know what a wonderful feeling it is. They didn't go to the deep mountains, nor did they go to the wilderness; they found a quiet and peaceful village to live in, and the people in the town were kind and simple. A hardworking tenant, and a sickly wife.There is absolutely no gossip here. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and their days are peaceful and sweet. Unfortunately, this is not the end of our story. Gao Li is back. Came back dusty and tired. Shuangshuang has already cooked two dishes for him with her slender and gentle hands, and warmed up a pot of wine.Everything in this room is familiar to her, and gradually she can use her hands instead of eyes. Now she is much healthier than before. A sweet and happy life is undoubtedly a good medicine for every kind of sickness. Gao Li looked at the food and wine on the table, and smiled like a child: "There is wine tonight." Shuang Shuang smiled sweetly, and said: "You are really tired these few days, I should reward you well." Gao Li sat down, took a sip of wine, and then said with a smile: "I only hope that after paying the rent this year, there will be a few more loads of grain left over to exchange for some fun things for you." Like a spoiled child, Shuang Shuang sat on his lap, blinked and said, "I only want one thing." Gao Li said, "What do you want?" Both said: "You." She pinched his nose with her slender little hand. He opened his mouth wide, pretending to be out of breath. She giggled and poured down a glass of wine.He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of rib, and wanted to stuff it into her mouth. Suddenly, his chopsticks fell off. His hands are cold. What the chopsticks hold is not ribs, but a centipede, a dead centipede seven inches long. Shuang Shuang said: "What's the matter?" Gao Li's expression also changed, and he still forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, but there is a centipede in the dish, it must have just fallen from the top. It looks like I won't be able to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs tonight." Shuangshuang was silent for a long time, finally forced a smile and said, "Fortunately, there are still eggs in the kitchen, let's fry them." As soon as she stood up, Gao Li immediately stood up and said, "I'll accompany you." Shuang Shuang said: "I'll go, you sit here and drink." Gao Li said: "I want to accompany you. I like to see how you fry eggs." Shuangshuang smiled and said, "What's so good about the fried eggs?" Gao Li said: "I just like to watch." Although the two were still smiling, a shadow suddenly cast over their hearts. The kitchen was very clean. You would never have imagined that a woman like Shuang Shuang could keep the kitchen so clean. The power of love is really amazing, it can do almost anything, it can do almost any miracle. Shuangshuang walked in, and Gao Li also walked in; Shuangshuang went to get the eggs, and Gao Li also went to get the eggs. He followed her, almost inseparable. Shuang Shuang opened the furnace door, Gao Li fanned the fire; Shuang Shuang picked up the pot and put it on, Gao Li lifted the lid. Suddenly, the pot lid fell from his hand. His hands were colder, and his heart was colder. The pot is not empty, there are two paper figurines in the pot. A person cut out of white paper without a head. The head has been torn off, and the neck has been stained red with blood. The fire was very hot, and the paper figurine suddenly began to distort and deform after being heated up, which seemed even more mysterious and terrifying. Shuangshuang's face was pale, as if she was about to faint.She has a wonderful sixth sense and can feel Gao Li's fear. She didn't faint, because she knew that at this time they had to find ways to be strong.She suddenly said softly: "Now, can we tell the truth?" Gao Li clenched his fists and said, "Yes." Shuang Shuang said: "The centipede didn't fall from the roof, there will never be any centipede here." Gao Li nodded, his face full of pain. For he knew that their peaceful and sweet life was now over. It is indeed too painful to admit this. But Shuang Shuang was very calm instead, held his hand tightly, and said, "We already knew that they would find them sooner or later, didn't we?" Gao Li said: "Yes." Shuang Shuang said: "So you don't need to worry about me, because I have already prepared." Her voice was more gentle, and she continued: "We have finally lived a good life for two years, even if we die now, there is no regret, let alone , we may not die yet." Gao Li straightened his chest and said loudly, "You think I'm afraid of them?" Shuang Shuang said: "Of course you are not afraid. You are an upright man, how can you be afraid of those sneaky villains?" Her face glowed, because she had been proud of him, and Gao Li suddenly had courage again. If you have loved someone before, you will know how amazing this courage is. Shuang Shuang said: "Now tell me honestly, what is in the pot?" Gao Li murmured: "It's just...just two paper figures." Both said: "Paper man?" Gao Li sneered: "They want to scare us, but they don't know that we can never be scared." Of course the dead centipede and paper man can't kill anyone.Anyone can see that this is just a threat, a warning. They obviously didn't want him to die too soon. Shuang Shuang bit her lips, and after a long silence, she suddenly said, "You wash the pot, and I'll cook eggs for you. Boil six eggs, you eat four big ones, and I eat two." Gao Li said: "You...you can still eat?" Shuangshuang said: "Why can't you eat it? If you can't eat it, it means that you are afraid of them. We have to eat coffee, and we need to eat more." Gao Li laughed and said, "Yes, I will eat four, and you will eat two." Only hard-boiled eggs are the safest. So they started eating eggs. Shuang Shuang said: "This egg is really delicious." Gao Li said, "Well, it's much tastier than pork ribs." Shuang Shuang said: "If they dare to walk in like a man, I can also treat them to eat two eggs." Gao Li sneered and said, "It's a pity they don't dare! Those kind of people only dare to do some shameful things secretly." Suddenly, someone outside the window was also sneering. Gao Li suddenly stood tall and said, "Who is it?" No response, of course no response. Gao Li wanted to chase him out, but he sat down slowly, and said indifferently: "Sure enough, he is a shameless person again." Shuang Shuang said: "Do you know what is the best way to deal with people like them?" Gao Li said: "What method do you say?" Shuang Shuang said: "Just ignore them." Gao Li laughed loudly, and said: "Yes, it is indeed a good idea to see the blame and not blame it, and the blame will defeat itself." He laughed loudly, but was he really laughing? There was darkness outside the window, endless darkness. I don't know how many terrible things and how many terrible people are hidden in the darkness. There were only the two of them in the house. In a small room, two small people, the boundless darkness and fear outside have completely surrounded them.Can he really not be afraid? The silver gun had been drawn from under the bed. The gun was dusty, but not rusty. Some things never rust, and neither do some memories. Gao Li thought of Qiu Fengwu. “不知道他现在怎么样？不知道他们是不是也找着了他？” 他希望没有。这件事，他希望就在这里结束，就在他身上结束。他惟一放不下的，只有双双。如果他不在了，双双会怎样？他连想都不想。双双好像也没有想，似已睡着。她实在远比任何人想像中都坚强得多，勇敢得多。但在睡着的时候，她看来还是个孩子，他怎么能忍心抛下她？他怎么能死？窗外风在呼啸，夜更黑暗，他紧紧握着他的枪，他用尽所有的一切力量，不让眼泪流下来，但他泪已流下。 双双翻了一个身，忽然问道：“你为什么还不睡？” 原来她也没有睡着。 高立道：“我……我还不想睡。” 双双道：“莫忘了你明天还要早起下田去。” 高立勉强笑了笑，道：“明天我可不可以偷一次懒？” 双双道：“当然可以。只不过，后天呢？……大后天呢？” 她叹息了一声，接着道：“他们若一直不出现，难道你就一直在这里陪着我？……难道你能在这小屋里陪我一辈子？” 高立道：“为什么不能？” 双双道：“就算你能，这样子我们又能维持到几时？” 高立道：“维持到他们出现的时候，等着他们来找我，总比我去找他们好。” 双双道：“但他们几时才来找你呢？” 高立肯定道：“他们既已来了，就决不会等太久的。” 双双道：“他们这样做，也许就是要将你困死在这屋子里，要等你精疲力竭的时候才出现。” 高立苦笑道：“可是他们不必等，他们根本没有这种必要。” 双双道：“为什么？” 高立黯然道：“现在是不是已到了应该说老实话的时候？” 双双道：“是。” 高立接着道：“那么我只希望你能为我做一件事。” 双双道：“什么事？” 高立轻抚着她的脸，柔声道：“我要你答应，无论我出了什么事，你都要好好活下去。” 双双道：“你……你……你这是什么意思？” 高立赧然道：“我的意思你应该明白。” 双双道：“你怕他们？” 高立道：“我不能不怕。” 双双道：“为什么？” 高立的脸已因痛苦而扭曲，道：“你永远想不到他们有多么的可怕。这次他们既然又找来了，就一定已经有十分的把握。” 双双沉默着。 她仿佛忽然变得很冷静，过了很久，才缓缓道：“他们若真的已经有十分的把握，为什么不立刻下手呢？” 高立道：“因为他们故意要让我痛苦。” 双双道：“但他们下手捉住你之后，岂非还是一样可以令你痛苦？” 高立怔住。 然后他眼睛渐渐发亮，突然跳起来，道：“我想通了。” 双双道：“你想通了什么？” 高立道：“青龙会的人并没有来。” 双双道：“来的是什么人？” 高立道：“来的只有一个人，所以他才要这样做，要逼得我精疲力竭，逼得我发疯，然后他才好慢慢地收拾我。” 双双道：“你知道这人是谁？” 高立道：“麻锋，一定是麻锋。” 麻锋很少杀人，但他若要杀人，就从不失手；他杀人很慢，慢得可怕。 “你若要杀一个人，就得要他变做鬼之后，都不敢找你报复。” 高立的脸因兴奋而发红，道：“我知道他迟早一定会来的，我知道。” 双双道：“为什么？” 高立道：“他要来报复。” 双双道：“报复？” 高立道：“有些人自己可以做一万件对不起别人的事，但别人却不能做一件对不起他的事，否则他就一定要亲手来报复。” 他咬着牙，一字字道：“但他却忘了，我也正要找他。”他当然永远忘不了是谁杀了金开甲。 双双问道：“你怎么知道他没有带青龙会的人来？” 高立道：“他决不会。” 双双道：“为什么？” 高立道：“因为报复是种享受，杀人也是，决绝不会要别人来分享的。” 双双紧握住他的手，道：“他……他一定是个很可怕的人。” 高立冷笑着说道：“他的确是，但我并不怕他。” 他声音突然停顿，外面竟有人在敲门，敲门的声音很轻、很慢，每一下都仿佛敲在他们心上。 高立几乎连呼吸都已停止。 他忽然发现自己并不如他自己想像中那么有把握。 这两年来，他拿的是锄头，不是枪。敲门声还在继续着，轻轻的，慢慢的，一声又一声…… 双双的手好冷。 他忽然发现她也并不如他自己想像中胆子那么大。 双双终于忍不住说道：“外面好像有人在敲门。” 高立道：“我听见了。” 双双道：“你不去开门？” 高立冷笑道：“他若要进来，用不着我去开门，他也一样能进来。”其实他自己也知道这只不过是种借口。 他的确是在畏惧。 因为他不能死，所以他怕死。 怕死并不是件可耻的事，决不是。 你若是个真正的男子汉，有双双这么样一个爱你的女人需要你照顾，你也会怕死的。 双双的心仿佛在被针刺着。 她当然了解他。没有人比她更了解他。她空洞灰黯的眼睛里，忽然泉水般涌出了一连串晶莹的泪珠。 高立道：“你……你在哭？” 双双点点头，道：“你知道我一直在为你而骄傲的。” 高立道：“我知道。” 双双道：“但现在……现在我却没有这种感觉了。” 高立垂下头。 他当然也了解双双的心情。 没有一个女人愿意自己的男人是懦夫，更没有女人愿意自己的男人在面对困难和危险的时候畏惧逃避。 双双赧然道：“我知道你是为了我才这样做的，但我却不愿你为了我这样做，因为我知道你现在一定很痛苦，因为你本不是懦夫。” 高立道：“可是你……” 双双道：“你用不着为我担心。无论我怎么样，只要是你应该去做的事，你还是一定要去做的，否则我也许会比你更痛苦。” 高立看着她。只有真正的女人，才会说出这样的话。 他忽然发现自己在为她而骄傲。他俯下身，轻吻她面颊上的泪珠，然后就转身走了出去。 她伏在枕上，数着他的脚步声。每天早上，她都要数他的脚步声，从床边只要走十三步，就可以走到外面的门。 一步、两步……四步、五步…… 这一去他是不是还能回来呢？她不知道，也不敢想。就算她明知他这一去永不复返，也同样不会拦阻他，因为这件事是他非解决不可的，他已不能逃避。
