Ruan Rou's death did not cause much shock, it was just the most common traffic accident.
A few sighs and a few curse words for unscrupulous drivers are all the ripples.
However, compared to other people who heard the news, Xiao Xiao's feelings were naturally deeper.
......
He should have had a chance to save this girl.
This thought always lingered in his mind, causing him to toss and turn, and there was a faint hint of weariness and gloom between his eyebrows.
He discovered the monster possessing the girl and even had a fight with the monster.
However, this can only intensify his current frustration and unwillingness.
The traces of guilt were like maggots in the tarsal bones. Intellectually, Xiao Xiao knew that even if he had some adventures and even if his body had some changes, he did not become a superman. He was still an ordinary person.
He had no choice but to accept this result. He had to admit his helplessness and powerlessness.
However, emotionally, negative emotions still inevitably made his limbs feel cold and he felt a sense of suffocation in his heart.
A feeling that cannot be vented is extremely oppressive.
He knows that he has got into trouble.
Even if you know it, you can't get rid of this state for a while.
This is a living human life!
……
"Third brother, what's wrong with you these days? What happened?" Zhao Luzheng looked worried.
"Yes, Third Brother, you have almost become a gloomy otaku these days. Come, tell me, I will enlighten you." Zhuge Yun put his arm around Xiao Xiao's shoulders, quite like an elder talking to each other.
The posture and helpless exaggerated expression just make people feel out of tune.
"Is there anyone who is not smart enough to bully you? Third child, who is so bold and doesn't want to live anymore?" The boss touched his fists and looked like he was about to fight. His tall and strong figure was quite impressive.
Deterrence.
Xiao Xiao felt a little dumbfounded, but also a little warm.
"I'm fine."
"It's just that I haven't thought about something recently."
"Huh? Have you figured it out now?"
"I figured it out."
Xiao Xiao curled his lips and smiled, the gloom between his brows disappeared, leaving only a clear look.
He has never been one to criticize himself harshly, and he has had enough struggles these days.
He never likes to feel sad about the spring and autumn, and blame others.
The matter has reached this point, and it will not help no matter how much he thinks about it.
He has always believed in a saying - If you are prosperous, you can help the world; if you are poor, you can only take care of yourself.
All he can do is to do his best and obey destiny.
……
In November in Yanjing, there is one place you have to go to, and that is Xiangshan Park in the western suburbs.
At this time, in Xiangshan, the red maples all over the mountains and plains were as bright as the morning glow, in full swing, dyeing half of the sky red.
Walking along the mountain road, looking around, the forests are dyed with color, and the frost leaves are as red as the February flowers.
……
Today is a weekend, and it is the maple viewing season again. Even though the sky is slightly bright and the cold air has not dissipated, Xiangshan is already full of tourists and crowded.
Although this kind of scene loses the tranquility and interest of Maple Forest, it is not as lively and joyful.
……
Xiao Xiao is from Yanjing. He fell in love with the red maples here since his parents brought him to Xiangshan for the first time.
Every year thereafter, he would come to Xiangshan to appreciate the maples.
This time I heard that he was coming to Xiangshan, and Zhang Bo, Zhuge Yun, and Zhao Luzheng, who were not from Yanjing, responded positively and followed him.
They have also been admiring the Fragrant Mountain Red Maple for a long time.
At this moment, the maple forest is like a sea. When I am in it, I feel dizzy, and my eyes and heart are bright red.
……
Even after coming here many times, Xiao Xiao still found the scenery in front of him pleasing to the eye and couldn't help but walk slowly and appreciate it carefully.
Maple leaves have an extremely delicate outline that is different from ordinary leaves.
It is always easy for people to think of the word "beautiful".
Unlike beautiful flowers, beautiful maple leaves have a unique and elegant beauty. Even though it has such a bright red color, it does not have a trace of worldly tackiness, but reveals a bit of rugged and cold beauty.
The maple tree in front of me is growing extremely well, with layers of maple leaves covering the criss-crossing branches, a patch of deep red and light red.
But what the hell is this tail-like thing hanging in front of him that is the same color as the maple leaf?
Xiao Xiao almost subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab it.
Xiao Xiao raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw the cyan beak.
A little green among all the reds couldn’t be more eye-catching.
Xiao Xiao looked around among the branches and leaves before he saw the full picture of this unknown creature.
Uh, a bird that looks a bit like...a pheasant?
The whole body is as red as a red maple, except for the beak, which is cyan. A tail that is obviously several times longer than the body hangs down lazily, swaying slightly carelessly.
This is a very beautiful creature.
Xiao Xiao stared blankly at the bird on the branch.
The other party seemed to be aware of it. Suddenly, Xiao Xiao was caught off guard and met a pair of round black bean eyes.
Hey, it's rare for a monster to have eyes that are not red, Xiao Xiao thought in a daze, and the air was stagnant for a moment as the big black eyes stared at the small ones.
......
Obviously, this is another monster.
The aura of monsters has become more and more familiar to Xiao Xiao.
And Xiao Xiao is almost numb to the various monsters he always encounters in his life.
However, it is also a bird, but this one is much more pleasing to the eye than Qin Yuan. Moreover, Xiao Xiao sniffed and found that there was no unpleasant smell. He didn't know if it was because he was in the maple forest, but he just felt that this monster was also a monster.
The fragrance of maple leaves is a clean, refreshing and pleasant smell.
……
"Lao San, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Bo, who was walking forward with his head buried in his head, turned around inadvertently, only to find something was wrong with Lao San. He followed Lao San's raised gaze and looked up. Naturally, he saw nothing but maple leaves.
, I can’t help but wonder: Isn’t it just Maple Leaf?
Zhuge Yun walked directly to Xiao Xiao's side in a few steps, his neck almost stretched out, and he didn't see what Xiao Xiao's previous focus was on.
"Isn't there nothing?"
"Third brother, you will be lenient if you confess, and strict if you resist. What were you looking at just now?" Zhuge Yun said while looking around unwillingly.
"Third brother, are you tired?" Zhao Luzheng was not surprised by Xiao Xiao's daze. He was just staring at a tree. This was nothing at all.
"Ah, I'm fine." Xiao Xiao retracted his gaze from the unknown creature, his light eyes swept over the long bright red tail, and looked at Zhang Bo and others.
"I just think this maple tree is very beautiful."
"Hey, really?"
"I think they're all pretty much the same?"
"Is this tree really particularly beautiful?"
Xiao Xiao smiled and said nothing, not arguing, it was just an excuse.
