Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Decision (Part II)

The temperature in the air does not become refreshing as the sun sets, but rather becomes more muggy. Maybe it's because I'm about to be expelled, or because I came to the city and hit a wall everywhere. Every brick and brick of this city can make itself annoying, and nothing can give a trace of joy. The same subway is still as crowded as before, but it gives me the feeling that I am most reluctant to get on the subway. When the human heart loses its original thing, everything will lose its color, and it will not be able to discover the joy of things.

It's still the room of less than ten square meters, a bed, a wardrobe, and a table so that this room is only the place to put your feet. The small space does not give people a warm feeling, but more loneliness and helplessness, trapping a heart that was originally passionate and struggling in this small space. Lying on the bed, the temperature in the room was higher than outside, but there was no idea of turning on the air conditioner. Alone in a stuffy room, hoping that the temperature here will make your blood boil. All in vain, the sultry heat only made me more and more irritable and angry with the city.

Fall asleep groggily, then wake up, and the day has passed in a haze. Is the purpose and motivation for coming to this city gone? Maybe you must not return to that city, as your father said.

Jingle Bell ...... The phone rang, and the only proof that someone was living in this room was the occasional ringing of the phone. "Hey...... What's the matter with me?"

"Yongzheng, you're okay, how can you be weak when you speak. A woman's voice came from the other end of the line.

After Zhang Yongzheng heard whose voice it was, he replied helplessly: "It's not a blessing for you and your brother, last time I made a big fuss about the company, I am now dismissed and checked, basically I am fired, can I have spirit?"

"I told you not to go to work in such a useless company, come to my brother, what position do you want to be. ”

Zhang Yongzheng smiled bitterly and then said: "You made a big fuss and let me carry the blame, and now blame me for not being it, it really convinces your thinking." ”

"That's right, you don't have a job now anyway, so come to my brother's place. I'll talk to my brother and arrange a position for you. There was a hint of joy on the other end of the line.

"Don't, I'll go straight back to my mother and guard the mountains and forests. ”

After Lin Xianwan on the other end of the phone heard this, it was inconvenient to talk about work anymore, and then said, "I called you because I wanted you to accompany me to watch a stage play." ”

"What's going on with your brother, why don't you let him go with you, and besides, there is still a strong country?"

"My brother is a busy man, so how can he have time to accompany me. Besides, I just want you to accompany me to see it, and others to accompany me to see it, so I won't go. It just so happens that you're okay today, so let's go and see it together. ”

It's also said that the current self is really not suitable for staying all the time, and I need to go out for a walk to change my mood. So he said, "Okay, when?"

"You stay at home, I'll pick you up. ”

Zhang Yongzheng refused: "No, you tell me what time it is, and I will take the subway by myself." ”

"Got it, I'll be waiting for you there at the Century Avenue subway entrance. ”

I replied hello, hung up the phone, and cleaned up my particularly bad mood, the depressed yesterday was over, but the depressed mood was aggravated. But when I have to play with others, I can't bring such a heavy feeling to others. Change into a slightly sunnier outfit and dress yourself up simply, at least to be able to meet people.

The bustling city is piled up with high-rise buildings, standing at the intersection of Century Avenue, watching the buildings stand tall in the city. It is really a paradise for the rich, full of temptations. All this does not belong to Zhang Yongzheng, who is now standing on the road, and he can just take a few looks.

Shaking his head and walking to the intersection, he saw Lin Xiandui in jeans from a distance, said hello, and the two came together.

Lin Xiandui came over and grabbed his arm directly and said, "Let's go, let's go directly to the theater." ”

"You hold me like this, you are not afraid that the national power will appear and abolish me. ”

Lin Xianwan shook off her hair and said, "What does it have to do with him, I said it very clearly, what I want to get is always you." ”

Zhang Yongzheng scratched his head and said, "Can we not speak so directly." ”

"Why are you still shy as a big boy? Anyway, I just want to be with you, I must let you know. Implicit love, I won't, if you want to love, you have to be strong. ”

Zhang Yongzheng nodded and said, "Yes, it's still the most direct approach." We went to see the stage play. ”

It's not far, a few minutes walk to the theater, and the seats for the two of you are in the front row. Zhang Yongzheng didn't ask what type of stage play it was, but most of what a couple of men and women could watch was a stage play about love. It was a little early, there were only a few people scattered and scattered, and the people next to the seats had not yet come. The two of them chatted without a word, and there were gradually more people.

"Isn't this Miss Lin Xiandui? and the little young master of the Zhang family. ”

Hearing the voice, Zhang Yongzheng didn't need to look up to see it, he knew that it was Qin Yuehua, it was such a coincidence that things happened, such a big city, so many performances, it was in this scene that they met.

Lin Xianwan stood up and said, "I didn't expect such a coincidence, Yuehua, you can actually bring Xiaodie out to watch this stage play, it's quite capable." ”

Qin Yuehua smiled heartily and said, "Miss Lin has won the award, Xiaodie is in a bad mood these days. I just heard that there was a good stage play to perform, so I took her over to see it. I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

Zhang Yongzheng turned his face and saw Song Xiaodie in a white dress, still bright and moving in the dark hall. Looking at Qin Yuehua's face again, she said in a stiff tone: "It's quite a coincidence, Xiaodie, you come and sit, let's watch together." ”

"How can I let Xiaodie sit inside, or I'd better sit inside. Qin Yuehua said a little angrily.

"Or I'm sitting in it. Song Xiaodie's words made Qin Yuehua have to shut up. Qin Yuehua could only sit outside, thinking that she was really unlucky, and she came to the door to talk about it dozens of times, so she asked Song Xiaodie to accompany her out to watch a stage play, but she didn't expect to meet Zhang Yongzheng, with him, is this completely to help him ask Song Xiaodie to come out.

Only the lights on the stage were still on in the hall, and suddenly all the lights on the stage were extinguished, and the repertoire was finally about to begin. But there were four people in the audience who couldn't calm down and couldn't enjoy this stage play seriously. The lights came on again, and a man dressed in linen and armed with a bow and arrows chased a white fox across the endless snow-colored land. The white fur of the fox's whole body, one by one, was shining brightly, like a white jade swimming in the snow. The man pointed his bow in front of him, and an arrow was fired, and a smart cry was heard in the distance. The big man clenched his fists happily and rushed to his prey. Then where the bow and arrow fell, there was a little blood, but there was no white fox. In the continuous search, he found a beautiful woman dressed in white lying on the snow, and the big man thought for a long time, and finally picked up the woman.

The lights dimmed and turned on, and the scene changed, and there were dozens of wooden sheds on the snow-white ground with simple hemp. Dozens of people, both men and women, dressed in linen, surrounded the big man who brought the woman in white back, chattering and saying some words. Not long after, an old man wearing a tiger hood appeared, holding a black cane, and everyone automatically got out of the way. The old man used his dry hands to shake the face of the white-clothed woman, and some incantations were chanted in her mouth. The woman in white slowly woke up and stayed in this small tribe to live.

The venue is in the dark and the light, changing too quickly. Fresh people bring a different life, the woman in white and the big man dance in the center of the fire, and the tribesmen hold hands in the middle and dance happily. The small tribe is no longer a shed made of hemp, nor is it a wild man who can only communicate with each other. In the changing scenes, the scenes kept moving, and under the teaching of the woman in white, this group of people gradually had a way of communication and their own tribal culture. The woman in white was worshipped as the snow goddess of the tribe, and the Han who brought the snow back was elected by the tribe as the patriarch of Qi. Led by Kai and Xue, the small tribe is full of love and joy.

Behind the prosperity there will always be all kinds of crises, dark clouds and thunder rolling, but no moist rain falls. A small tribe in the white world, I don't know where the evil spirit is, all listless, without a trace of life. The elders and patriarchs led everyone to pray to heaven and earth, hoping that the gods would save this small tribe that was about to be destroyed. Maybe it really moved the heavens, a glow cleared the clouds, and the voice of all things sounded 'The fox demon is a man, and it is not difficult to get rid of it'.

The torches are like the fiery red flowers in the white world, and the scorching heat of the fire melts the snow as if to bring about the revival of all things. In the red and hot scene, a woman in white was tied to a wooden platform, surrounded by bundles of dry firewood. The men, women and children of the tribe hold red torches, and those who have lived in the ice and snow for many years have faces as white as snow, but they are covered with blood against the background of the flames, and they are evil spirits wandering in the world. Red torches tumbled up and down, and people kept shouting, "Burn this demon"

The snow was tied to the wooden frame, and it was touching, and there was a trace of love and pity in her eyes, without a trace of complaint. In her eyes, she can only save herself and live with her. Bring food and clothing to this tribe, bring civilization. Now because of an unfounded word that wants to sacrifice her to the fire, she does not complain. The only thing she cared about was Kai's thoughts, could he have thought the same way?

Qi picked up the torch, he is the patriarch of this clan, and the fire sacrifice must be carried out by the patriarch. The torch in his hand kept beating, looking at his beloved, helpless eyes. The heart is like a knife, obviously the head of a clan, but he is forced by the clan to burn his lover to death, obviously he is a big man, but he can't protect the person he loves the most.

"Don't you want me?" Xue looked at Kai with a torch in her eyes.

She is her everything, and she would rather die than let her be hurt at all. Kai dodged the snow's gaze and placed the torch between the two, the blazing flames trying to burn the chains of love between them.

"We can get out of here together and go to a place where it's just the two of us, and live our two-person world. "Snow is looking forward to it again.

Kai didn't think so, but how could the people of the clan be so clear, they just thought that a fire sacrifice was necessary to lift the curse of the tribe. Between the tribe and the snow, I still haven't figured out what I can do, I am the patriarch, but I am pushed by others to develop everything, but I can't do anything.

Amid the angry roars of his clansmen, Kai set fire to the wood, and the flames flew into the sky. The snow in the sea of fire, the tenderness that melts, all eyes on Kai, no matter what, no matter how sad the final outcome is. The last thing she saw in her eyes was Kai's figure and his face.

"Don't cry, don't blame yourself. The tribe is your home for a small life, and it is your responsibility as the patriarch to choose them. I can die for you, you have to live well. Seeing the tears on Qi's resolute face, Xue knew that he loved her immensely. That's enough, she lives in this world, and there is no happier than knowing that the person she loves loves is always in love with her.

The flames jumped high, enjoying the joy of breaking up the lovers. Completely surrounded by snow, the blazing flames and thick black smoke did not leave a trace of pain on Xue's face, and he still looked at his beloved Kai with such affection. Snow only has the man who loves her in her eyes, and no matter how much pain and torture she has, she can't give her a trace of damage to this love.

A tear was left in Qi's eyes, and he saw the woman in white lying on the ice and snow in a hazy way. Like a fairy, her every move is deeply attracted to herself. The tears contain the little bits and pieces of happiness between the two during this time, as well as the life full of laughter every day and night. Drop by drop fell on the ice, froze into ice cubes, and then shattered. It's so short and so beautiful, it's so unforgettable. Looking at the snow surrounded by flames, without a trace of fear and complaint, how sad and helpless she was, in the end, she was still thinking about him everywhere, not letting him have any baggage and burden.

The choice may be a momentary impulse, and the choice is just what I want to do at that time. The iron-clad man pretended to have a gentle heart, kicked the fire platform away, and the flames fled in all directions, scattered on the snow, and slowly lost the heat and extinguished.

He hugged Xue and held her tightly in his arms, never allowing her to leave his arms again.

He shouted to the tribesmen, "We leave the tribe, and I think you'd better not stop you." ”

The Great Elder's face turned even redder, "Are you going to betray the tribe?"

"You also forced me to betray, why do you want to sacrifice the people I love the most. ”

The scene keeps switching between red and black, and the sound of weapons colliding is faintly heard, and there is even the sound of shouting and killing. Under the flickering lights, I saw Qi hugging the snow, in a white world, constantly fleeing. In this white world, where is the home they love each other? In the end, he was forced to a dead end, and when it was lit up, it was indeed a blood-red light. The snowflakes that were originally white turned blood red in the light, dyeing the world in such a terrifying color.

On the edge of the cliff, Xue leaned into Kai's arms, smiling happily. Now she is the happiest person in the snow, and any disaster is no longer important in her eyes. Qi hugged the snow, and now his heart is much more steady, it turns out that this is what he has always needed most. He needs to protect his current happiness and everything he has now, even if he is facing his own people.

A cliff becomes disputed and persecuted, and the lights of the stage are erratic and flickering. Reveal the bow and arrows and force that he no longer uses.
