Chapter Seventy-Four: The Pearl Diver
The bright moon hung like an ice tray in the vast sky, and there were meteors flying in the galaxy, which seemed dim compared to the fifteenth moonlight. Meteors streaked across the night sky of the gladiatorial arena and brought with them a woman, a very beautiful woman.
It is very rare to see such a beautiful woman in front of the iron gate of the Dragon and Tiger Prison with slaves as companions all day long, and it is very rare to see such a beautiful woman.
However, tonight in front of this abrupt beauty, they didn't dare to make a mistake, as the subordinate of the sword of the Dragon Prison Venue, they naturally saw the new favorite beauty beside Gongzi more than once.
The head of the slave team on duty in front of the iron gate stepped forward to compliment: "The little ones have seen the girl. The girl came here late at night, and I don't know why?"
Perhaps the girl from Zhizi, who was covered with a wide black robe because the night was as cold as water, glanced at the heavy iron gate, and her red lips opened slightly: "The slave who fought with Gongzi during the day can be locked up here?"
The head of the squad replied, "Back girl, in this prison." ”
"Have you ever been lazy?"
"The son ordered not to disturb that one, how dare the little ones disobey their orders. ”
Zhizi nodded, and took out a bottle of pill from his sleeve robe: "Childe knows that I and the people in prison are old acquaintances, so he ordered me to send some healing medicine, and asked this eldest brother to open the iron gate." ”
The head of the slave team hesitated a little, and then glanced at the brother next to him, and the man retreated silently, and then the team leader ordered someone to open the iron gate: "The prison is dirty, I hope the girl will not stay too long." ”
Chiko ignored the slave who had slipped away, even though she expected that the man must have gone to report the sword's ups and downs.
Bending his knees slightly, Zhizi thanked: "Thank you for this big brother." ”
……
Luo Changfeng, who was dressed in black and silver-haired, sat cross-legged in the iron prison.
Eyes closed, no concentration.
The blood-red aura of the butcher's knife no longer permeated the surface of the body as before, as if it was glowing. Instead, he became extremely obedient, hovering around him one by one.
It seems that he has been able to completely control this murderous demon knife that ranks third on the list of divine weapons.
His face was no longer pale. Although it looks dirty after many days of not taking care of it carefully, the calm no longer looks like the facial expression that an innocent child should have.
He awoke from a state of immersion in memories of the past when he heard footsteps.
It's light, but it's impetuous.
It's like a woman's footsteps, and it's mediocre.
He opened his eyes, and the bloody aura swirling around his body quietly dissipated, and he looked in the direction where the voice had come from.
The dim oil lamp in the iron prison illuminated a familiar face, and then the shadow came from the darkness and reflected in Luo Changfeng's eyes.
It's really her!
Luo Changfeng stood up suddenly, walked to the iron railing, and watched quietly, watching her walk to the prison door.
Looking at the gray-faced Luo Changfeng staring at herself blankly, the Zhizi girl covered the corners of her mouth and smiled, her smiling eyes were very charming.
She took out the towel and reached into the cell door with her bare hands, wiped the dust on her cheeks for Luo Changfeng, and nagged: "Every time I see you, I am always so embarrassed, and I don't know when I can learn to take care of myself, so that I can teach people to rest assured!"
Luo Changfeng still stood straight behind the cell door, quietly looking at Zhizi.
Zhizi, who was staring at this kind of unnatural staring, suddenly realized something, and the hand holding the handkerchief paused, and then quickly retracted, took a half step back and bowed his head apologetically: "Yes, I'm sorry! I forgot that you have ......."
Luo Changfeng in his memory is innocent, the fool who only has a childlike mind and always relies on himself to make people feel at ease.
In front of him who is stupid, she is the girl who he often cares about.
But suddenly remembering that the man who stabbed the sword with a shot in the daytime was in front of her, the girl Zhizi lowered her head humbly.
In front of him who has regained his memory, what is he? It's just the playthings of those devils in the Guigu Forest anytime and anywhere, so lowly, so humble, so dirty, so unbearable!
Thinking of this, Chiko's body began to tremble a little.
She pursed her red lips and squeezed the hand holding the handkerchief hard. She was a little scared, she didn't dare to raise her head, let alone look at his face, look at his clear eyes.
Luo Changfeng, who seemed to see what Zhizi was thinking, took half a step forward, although he was standing behind the prison door, and there was no movement in this half-step distance, but he still leaned forward to lean forward with the center of gravity.
He used his body language to tell her that he was still him with or without recovering his memory.
Luo Changfeng smiled slightly at the corner of his lips: "Thank you, Zhizi!"
This thank you is so much!
Thinking of the scene when he was rescued from the seaside, until now, Luo Changfeng has countless words to say, but he doesn't know how to say the words, he pondered for a while, and decided to use the most sincere two words to cover everything.
So he said thank you, really thank you!
Thank her for saving her life several times! Thank her for not disliking her stupid self! Thank her for her friendship with her!
Zhizi, who always kept his head down, shook his head, tears rolling in his eyes: "No, no! I should thank you! That day in the Guigu Forest, it was obvious that you saved me, but I was still thinking about some savior who fell from the sky. Now that I think about it, it's ridiculous. ”
That pitiful appearance fell into his eyes, and Luo Changfeng couldn't bear it: "You, will you go back?"
Zhizi smiled bitterly: "Where else can I go." ”
Luo Changfeng said extremely firmly: "I can take you out of the Ghost Valley Forest......!"
Chiko looked up.
It was Luo Changfeng's unshakable tone and attitude that made her raise her head and leave the humility in her heart behind.
Zhizi looked at Luo Changfeng without blinking.
But looking at Luo Changfeng's determined look, she suddenly wanted to cry again, both out of the warmth of emotion, and also regret for this acquaintance.
Too late!
It's too late, she thought!
"If you say this at the moment of our first meeting, even after the cave on a rainy night, I will go with you at all costs, I will be desperate to go with you!"
"But now...... I'm just a filthy woman, just a woman who sacrifices her body and soul to survive. I've become a devil, and the devil is worthy of you!"
Tears finally fell.
Zhizi hurriedly turned around, turned his back to Luo Changfeng, and sobbed silently.
But the endless grievances and indescribable emotions broke down, she had cried into tears, and she couldn't suppress her voice anymore, she didn't want to be so embarrassed in front of Luo Changfeng, so she hid her face and ran out.
Luo Changfeng, who was eager, suddenly said two words: "I want to ......"
These two words evoked Chiko, who hid his face and wept.
Luo Changfeng finally finished the last sentence: "I should be Luo Changfeng, Luo Changfeng of Fengxue Silver City!"
Luo Changfeng's three words echoed in his ears, and Zhizi instantly burst into tears, crying and crying!
She was gone, crying and running out of the iron gates, without looking back.
Luo Changfeng was still standing there in a daze.
He suddenly remembered some words that Chiko had said to him one night, when he was drowsy.
"I am a pearl in the sea, not left out in the sea. But the pearl divers picked me up and brought me into the world, and then discarded me. Apart from the face I was born with, the pearl divers did not give me luck, nor did they give me any means of survival. So all along, I have long wanted to meet someone, I dare not beg him to be the peerless Tianjiao, nor dare to beg him to be the lord of the Wind and Snow Silver City, I only hope that he can be a pearl diver, and after I die, I will be picked up again from the cold world as a jade pearl, and throw me into the sea, and merge with the endless deep sea! That will be my best destination......"
(PS: Sure enough, what I write when my mind is calm is different.) I like this chapter very much, especially the delicacy of the depiction of emotions, as well as the legend of the pearl in the sea...... Narcissism!)
