The autumn wind is bleak, and the plants and trees are withered and yellow.

Li Xueru stood under a maple tree not far from the door, alone. A breeze blew, and the golden leaves slowly fell. A few lightly flew in the air, and several other tilted to the ground, rolling forward along the road, and two other slid across Li Xueru's hair and stopped on the slightly trembling shoulders.

Pedestrians came and went in groups of three or three on the street, with only a handful of passing vehicles. From time to time, a group of migratory birds flew past the sky, from north to south, without feeling tired.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" At some point, Liu Yun suddenly appeared behind Li Xueru.

"I...a little bored... come out and get some breath..."

"If you have any worries, just say it out loud and don't treat your brother as an outsider."

"I..." Li Xueru turned around and looked at Liu Yun quietly, wanting to speak but stopping. The handsome boy in front of her looked sincere, not like a person with ulterior motives, it should be worthy of trust. In addition, she has a good impression of him and always wants to have something to happen to him for no reason. Why not just talk to him?

"Don't stand here, go into the house. It's cold and you're prone to illness." Liu Yun grabbed Li Xueru's hand and walked into the house.

No defense, no resistance.

"Is there an expedition team in the photo?" Liu Yun pointed to the wall.

"Um.."

"Are your parents standing on both sides?"

Li Xueru stopped making a sound, just nodded silently.

"What does they have to do with this expedition team? Or are they just taking a photo together as a nostalgia?"

"Ah..." Li Xueru sighed and calmed down, as if she had thousands of words in her heart, but she didn't know how to express it.

"Say whatever you want."

"Okay." Li Xueru calmed down her thoughts and spoke slowly.

"That was fifteen years ago. It was October in the golden autumn. One night, our family had just had supper when they suddenly heard a violent knock on the door. I thought there was another riot, and passers-by came to seek refuge. Unexpectedly, when I opened the door, I saw a man covered in sand and unkempt face. He..."

"What's wrong with him?" Liu Yun asked immediately.

"He said he was from the national scientific expedition team. This time he arrived to complete a scientific research mission in the Taklamakan Desert. However, he did not expect to encounter a sandstorm on the first day after entering the edge of the desert. The entire team was severely damaged and almost disintegrated."

"Luckily, fortunately, it's the edge of the desert. The team members were scattered for a short time before gathering together again. Unfortunately, everyone suffered some flesh and blood injuries, all communication tools failed, the car could not start smoothly, and there was no idea where the water and food were buried, and they could never find it."

"It is precisely because my house happens to be at the entrance of the desert, the closest place to them that they sent someone with the least injuries and relatively quick legs to come to ask for help."

"You agreed without hesitation?"

"Hey... At first my parents just called a car to pull them back, treated them warmly, and reported to the government. The government met them and asked them to reorganize, prepare supplies, and set off again."

"Of course, the government advised them to terminate this mission many times before departure. After all, the risk is too great and it will be a life-threatening death. But for the sake of their mission and honor, they resolutely declined the government's kindness."

"Woo..." Speaking of this, Li Xueru began to choke again.

"It's okay, it's okay! I'm here!" Liu Yun put his hand on Li Xueru's back and comforted her gently. He wanted to put her in his arms, but he finally restrained it.

"......The government department saw that the persuasion was fruitless, so it had no choice but to recommend my parents to them. It was actually a mandatory bondage. After all, my parents have an indescribable relationship with the desert and an unsatisfactory feeling. Every grass, tree, sand and grain there are all full of their deep emotions. The most important thing that the government departments value most is that they are well aware of the environment, terrain, and route of the desert, and they know how to deal with various sudden disasters and post-disaster treatments. This is a living map that integrates multiple functions for those who go to the desert to explore!"

This... Why is this operation so familiar? I seem to have seen a similar version somewhere, oh yes! There is a talented stranger from American comics, who is said to be descendants of the Atlantis, living in the sea and can control the sea water freely...

"Originally, my parents could refuse, but I just agreed for some reason. Maybe it was because of the conceit, or because of my attachment to my hometown, or I could get a large bonus afterwards. You must know that this bonus was enough for us to spend half our lives at that time based on our living standards."

"It's really a bad thing! The more you feel that everything you want, the more you will be contrary to your wishes. The title of Sea of ​​Death is not in vain. Groups of people come one after another, and they try their own lives. Unexpectedly, it will be their turn for the next group...Woooo..."

"Okay, you need to say nothing..." Liu Yun picked up a tissue and gently wiped Li Xueru's face.

Yes, comics are comics after all. How could such a powerful person in reality be able to make mistakes and misunderstands in a hundred secrets.

"They... haven't come back yet?"

It was precisely because of this blurted out that it seemed to touch the pain point that Li Xueru had forcibly buried in her heart for many years. Then, with a "wow" sound, Li Xueru could no longer help crying loudly, and tears were pouring out.

Liu Yun no longer had any scruples and held Li Xueru into his arms and hugged her tightly.

At this moment, no matter how much more words are, it is better to be a warm embrace.

Although I feel sorry, the spirit of these warriors' willingness to contribute to science is very admirable.

Ten minutes later.

"Puff...why are you doing!" Li Xueru suddenly broke free from Liu Yun's arms, her eyes were red and her little face was red.

"I feel sorry for..."

"Hey... it's been so long... I've also seen it intentionally or unintentionally. Although the grief is hard to let go, life has to continue moving forward."

"You are very happy to think of me like this. In the future, don't be afraid of anything if you are there. I will always be with you." Liu Yun was really shameless.

"Yes." Li Xueru smiled faintly. It's been a long time since she felt so refreshing.

"Then how have you lived in the past few years? By the way, are you still in school?"

"I went out for internship after two years of college and now I work in a county hospital. Although my salary is not too high, it is not a problem to support myself."

"Awesome..." Liu Yun also remembered his parents.

"Dongdongdongdong! Dadongdongdongdong!" Someone knocked on the door.

"Xueru, are you in the house?" A rough voice came from outside the house.

"This is?"

Li Xueru did not answer, and stood up straight and walked towards the door.

"Are you at home?! Have you eaten?" A strong man with a strong figure and a ruffian face appeared at the door.

"What does it have to do with you? What are you doing?!" Li Xueru said impatiently, as if she had a lot of grudges with the person opposite her.

"Winter is about to begin. I asked my brothers to buy you bedding, cotton wool and some things for winter. They are all plush and thickened. You have a bad stomach, so you use the designated warmth! Come on, Xiao Zhang, move all the things to your sister-in-law!"

"Okay! Big brother!" As he said that, the group of people were about to enter the house.

"What are you doing? I said don't come to me again!" Li Xueru tried to stop them, but couldn't help but be too weak and was pushed and staggered.

"Be careful!" Liu Yun rushed up with a quick step and supported Li Xueru.

"You group of shit eaters, can't you see your sister-in-law in front? Just break in desperately? If you throw your sister-in-law, I won't kill you!"

"Brother, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! We're all stupid!"

"Is it okay?!"

"Is it okay?" Liu Yun and the strong man opposite asked in unison.

"Huh? Is this little white-faced..."

"I'm his brother!"

"He is my boyfriend!" Another group of voices made at the same time.

"Oh! Xueru, when did you become so playful? You're actually hiding your little face at home!"

Damn, I kindly help you, how can you cheat me...

"That... I'm really his brother-oh!" Liu Yun's thigh hurt. It turned out that he was pinching it by Li Xueru, and he immediately understood.

"That's right! I'm his boyfriend! Who are you?" Liu Yun said with courage, without any confidence.

"Haha! Xueru, don't tease me! I was single yesterday, but I have a boyfriend today? Is this funny??"

"He is my boyfriend. Believe it or not!"

"Haha... You little bastard must have given Xue Ru some ecstasy soup..." The strong man sneered, and a trace of murderous aura flashed between his eyebrows. "Xiao Zhang!"

"I understand!" The young man next to him pulled out a slender stick from his belt. He couldn't tell what material it was, but he felt that it hurt a lot.

"What are you going to do?" Li Xueru pulled Liu Yun behind her and protected him with her body.

"Sister-in-law, this matter has nothing to do with you, please get out of the way!" As he said that, several people slowly surrounded him.

"Big Niu, let him go! I will follow you!" Li Xueru's eyes turned red again, and tears rolled in her eyes.

"No problem, I didn't want to make things difficult for him, I want you."

"Girl, am I not going to say it just now? With brother here, nothing can hurt you." Liu Yun pulled Li Xueru back with his back hand, and stopped her tightly, holding her hand firmly.

"Liu Yun... don't..."

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you!" It is worth pretending to be a B in front of the beauty. Even if there is a sea of ​​fire and a deep abyss ahead, you must be calm and calm. Even if you are about to suffer from thousands of knifes and pieces of corpses, you will be willing and have no regrets.

But in fact, what he said was really like that, but he was already extremely scared. At this moment, Liu Yun's nerves all over his body became tense, his breathing became rapid, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Damn it, it's time to be so kind to me in front of me!"

"Boe me!" With a command, the stick hit like a heavy rain.

"Ah!" Li Xueru let out a harsh scream, and Liu Yun also raised his hand to cover his head like a conditioned reflex.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!" Suddenly, a metal collision sound of iron-striking came from his ears, followed by a series of screams one after another.

Well? Is this stick made of paper? Why doesn’t it feel any pain when it hits it? Could it be that they just want to scare themselves?

When I looked up, I saw a few people pinching their wrists, squatting on the ground, moaning, and then looking at the stick, it was already scattered all over the floor.

Both were unscathed.

"You..." Li Xueru looked at Liu Yun in amazement.
