Chapter 751 Hopeless City (19)
Kotohana nodded.
"That girl gave me the same feeling. Hey...she is a pitiful person just like us."
The old man was unhappy when he heard this.
"Why is it so pitiful? We depend on each other, how can we be pitiful?"
Qinhua lowered her eyes and looked at the red sparks that were buried under the soot in the stove, and the old man's pale face was imprinted with a layer of red light.
She murmured quietly.
"Oh...it's not that I'm pitiful, it's just that I have nothing to remember in this life and my mind is completely empty. Sometimes I feel a little pitiful."
"You keep saying this, don't you have me? I'm here with you. We are each other's memories. If you don't remember the past, you won't remember it. Don't think so much."
Qinhua raised her eyes and looked out the window.
"Daqi, besides the name, what else can you think of?"
"I can still remember that you are my wife. I bought it with the money I spent on buying cows. You have always been my wife. We farmed and raised cows in the countryside. You cooked and washed for me. This is how my whole life has passed. , nothing to remember.”
Qinhua's eyes were calm. There were many traces of time on her face, but not in her eyes. They were still as clear and bright as a girl. When she looked at the old man, her eyes would flash with light.
"I don't only have that little money, but you will lie to me."
"Yeah, yes, I also put a lot of them in. It's so worth it!"
The two old men still stayed with each other like a young couple. In front of the stove, Qinhua took out a wooden stick and dug through the ashes. After a while, something dark fell out.
The old man took a closer look and said in surprise.
"Sweet potato!"
"Eat."
Peel off the roasted black skin, and the sweet potato meat inside is full of rich aroma, sweet and soft, and you can't help but drool just looking at it. "You're still hiding this trick!"
"Nonsense, I just threw it in for you. I lost all the steamed buns, how can I really make you hungry? Eat slowly, you are still as frizzy as a young man at such an old age."< br>
"Qinhua, you are so kind."
"Well, if I'm not nice to you, who will be nice to you?"
"Hey."
——
Life in Hopeless City is very boring and simple. Every day when I open my eyes, I am thinking about what to eat. When I wake up at night, a new day is still the same, and the whole city is lifeless.
Zhou Ye stayed in her cold room. She had nothing to do and didn't know what to do, so she sat in front of the threshold holding her clothes and watching the snow falling in the sky, burying her feet in it.
This can be considered a kind of entertainment.
But her life is not boring, because there is a voice that keeps talking in her ears.
He called Aowu and claimed to be a divine dragon. Zhou Ye didn't know what a dragon looked like, so he described it to him as tall and mighty, with golden light and boundless power.
He can also tell many short stories. In Zhou Ye's limited memory, Aowu is the most knowledgeable. He has endless things to say and can talk from morning till night.
Zhou Ye listened quietly, leaning his head on the threshold, looking at the heavy snow in the sky, and closed his eyes.
She was enjoying this moment of peace.
Not long after, a man came from the wind and snow in the distance. He was very tall and pushing this thing in his hand. The wheels made a "squeaking" sound as they rubbed in the snow.
Zhou Ye didn't stand up, watching as the man's face gradually became clearly visible.
