Volume 1: The Burning Soul Poem Chapter 14: Who Killed the Mockingbird

Xie Qingfeng helped Qianzhou down and slowly walked along the road pointed out by Tonyβ€”in fact, there was only one way.

The path is not wide, but it is enough for two people to walk side by side, and there is still bottomless darkness on both sides. Although it was quite a distance away from Tony's barbershop, the dim little light at the door still cast light at the feet of the two of them. Thanks to this light, many voices that were about to move in the darkness on both sides were quieted.

"A thousand boats. Xie Qingfeng suddenly shouted Qianzhou.

"What's wrong?"

"That, thank you. Then, I'm sorry. Xie Qingfeng stroked the hair next to his ears, "You're right, I'm too self-righteous and have caused you a lot of trouble." ”

"No, I'm the one who should say I'm sorry. It's rare to say a handsome line, but you can't even break the enemy's defense, it's really embarrassing. Qianzhou laughed to himself, "I don't know why Tony changed his mind, but if you hadn't summoned the blessing of the dragon vein, I'm afraid I would have died." ”

"Me?" Xie Qingfeng was a little puzzled.

Qianzhou glanced at the girl deeply: "Yes, at that moment, I clearly felt the resonance between you and the dragon vein. Commanding the dragon vein, this is not something ordinary people can do. To be honest, I'm a little curious about who you are. ”

"I'm an orphan. Xie Qingfeng's gaze was a little confused, "My father-in-law is the head of the 'Shenshang' troupe, and I have been in the troupe since I can remember, and everyone is very good to me. Later, Brother Heng came, and he always regarded me as his own sister. I met you after that. ”

After speaking, the girl looked like a thousand boats again: "What about you, what is your past?"

My past?

Qianzhou was stunned for a moment, and the memories that were deliberately avoided came flooding back like a tide.

His own family is plain and warm, and Chunxuan is flourishing. I also grew up calmly, went to school, and had two or three friends. Although he is not good at anything else, fortunately, he has an inch of fresh pen and writes, and the few novels he has written are famous. If there are no accidents, I will probably finish this life plainly but happily. But now it's like a dream of Nanke.

"My past? I'm nothing special, I don't have anything to do with anything, I don't have any skills. It's probably no different from ordinary passers-by. It's just that some things feel precious when they are lost. ”

Sensing that Qianzhou's mood was depressed, the girl knew that she was speechless, and quickly changed the topic: "How are you doing, are you injured?"

"It's just a little bit out of strength, and it's good to rest. ”

Then the two fell silent and walked forward in silence.

After a while, Xie Qingfeng couldn't stand the silent atmosphere and took the initiative to speak: "Qianzhou." ”

"Huh?"

"Say whatever you want, I'm a little scared when it's too quiet. The girl's voice squirmed.

"Anything?"

"Anything. ”

So, Qianzhou spoke:

"Who killed the robin?

It's me, said the sparrow,

With my bow and arrows,

I killed the robin. ”

As if thinking of something, Xie Qingfeng noticed that the light in Qianzhou's eyes became cold. The immaturity and innocence of this young man faded little by little, and what remained was the refined steel, like a sword wiping its edge, blooming with the edge of iron and fire.

"Who saw him die?

It's me, said the fly,

With my little eyes,

I saw him die.

Who took his blood?

It's me, the fish said,

With my little saucer,

I took his blood.

Who makes a shroud for him?

It's me, said the beetle,

With my needle and thread,

I'll come and make shrouds.

Who will dig his grave?

It's me, said the owl,

With my chisel and shovel,

I'm going to dig the grave.

......”

Qianzhou's tone was low and powerful, and it seemed to be mixed with a faint mockery. The clear voice echoed in the mist, and it drowned out all the noise.

Xie Qingfeng's mind couldn't help but think of the scene where Yi Shui was singing.

The nursery rhyme soon came to an end, and Qianzhou's tone changed, as if he was announcing, as if he was deciding:

"Notice

To all stakeholders,

This notice informs,

Next time the Bird Court,

The sparrows will be judged!"

Xie Qingfeng slapped Qianzhou lightly, and there was a bit of annoyance and complaint in his tone: "You did it on purpose, you still recite black nursery rhymes in this environment." Sincerely scare people?"

Qianzhou pursed his lips and said in his belly: Obviously, you asked me to say whatever I wanted, but now you are blaming me again. Girls are really troublesome, but I won't say it because of my high emotional intelligence.

The two of them didn't know how long they had walked, but they felt that the darkness on both sides had gradually faded, and the outline of the Yundu building could be faintly seen in the gray mist. When the lights behind the two disappeared, the scene of Yundu was re-displayed in front of the two.

Looking at the building not far away, Qianzhou hooked the corners of his mouth and showed a smile that seemed to be happy and sad: "Sure enough." ”

The tall church stands in front of it, with patterns of rice, ears of wheat and wolves on the surface - this is the church of Mother Earth and the starting point of the sinking of the clouds. The abyssal aura that overflowed from it could be clearly felt even if it was so far away.

Qianzhou turned his head to look at Xie Qingfeng: "Just send me here, find a safe place to hide." Everything will be known at sunrise. ”

"Take care, if you see Brother Heng...... That's it. ”

"I will. Qianzhou smiled.

But looking at the dried blood stains on his face, Xie Qingfeng only felt that the tip of his nose was sour, and there seemed to be tears gushing out of his eyes again. So, the girl stretched out her hand and carefully wiped Qianzhou's face clean.

The girl's eyes turned back and forth, she opened her mouth but didn't make a sound, and finally turned into a deep sigh, watching Qianzhou's back fade away.
