"Actually, I'm quite lucky. At least at this time, I have someone to accompany me, have wine to drink, and someone to bury me after I die."

"And in this world, out of all the people, how many die alone and desolately, silently exposing their bodies in the wilderness."

"Actually, death is not terrible. What is terrible is that before dying, there is no familiar person in front of you..."

Having said this, the afterglow in Captain Lei's eyes slowly dimmed, and he suddenly spoke.

"Kid, I want to take another sip."

Xu Qing's heart was filled with sadness. He took his wine bottle and gently placed it on Lei Dui's mouth. As the wine overflowed, Lei Dui looked behind him with a dazed look on his face and murmured in a low voice.

"Taohong, have you come to pick me up..."

The wine spilled on the old man's clothes and fell into the soil. He didn't drink it, and the light in his eyes went out along with the fire of life.

Xu Qing's body trembled and she lowered her head. The sadness in her heart could no longer be controlled and spread out from the bottom of her heart, covering her whole body.

He grabbed the wine bottle so hard that he didn't even notice that the wine bottle changed shape in his hands.

After a long while, Xu Qing bit her lip, silently put the wine bottle aside, and looked up at the old man in front of him who would never wake up.

He couldn't help but picture the ruins of the city, where the other party suddenly turned around and looked at him in the distance.

"Kid, are you willing to leave here with me?"

Tears fell down drop by drop from the corners of Xu Qing's eyes.

The blood on his face melted away, leaving two clear traces on his clothes.

Growing up in a slum, he stopped crying a long time ago.

But today, he couldn't hold back and looked at the old man's body until it got dark again. He silently buried the old man and the wine bottle under the tree.

The scavengers don't need a monument because no one will pay homage to them.

But the old man has a monument.

In front of the tombstone, Xu Qing stared blankly.

After a long time, he took out a ball of linen cloth from the leather bag and took out the only piece of candy inside.

He put it in his mouth silently, leaned against the big tree, and closed his eyes.

Sugar, very sweet.

Someone once told Xu Qing that eating it when you are sad will make you feel better.
