Chapter 44 - The Pilgrimage of the Sage 08

"Ladies and gentlemen, why are you in a hurry to leave?" Nagisa Xia ignored Dior's 'kindness' and followed her out, leaving her alone to drink at the table for the sixteenth night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Dio glanced at the dusty woman, and the appropriate makeup made her look a little mature, but Dio could still tell that she should be the same age as Sixteen Nights. Dio pressed down the heads of the two Lori, who were looking at Nagisa Xia with curious eyes, and said to her:

"You don't look like someone who would be in this kind of place. ”

It was not out of praise, but the feeling that Nagisa gave Dior, and the arrogance that penetrated into the bone marrow made Dior think that she was a royal nobleman for a while. The temperament that should not appear in such a dusty woman made it difficult for Dior to believe her identity. Originally, she wanted to ask Sixteen Nights directly after leaving Sixteen Nights, but she never thought that Nagisa would follow her.

"The guest's eyes are like torches, but is the past really important? Now I am just a wisp of afterimage in this building, not worth mentioning," Nagisa Xia did not look into Dior's eyes, she lowered her head slightly, as if to show 'humility', "The moon and my affairs are not mentioned for the time being, can the guest officer be interested in listening to a story? ”

The flickering light of the lantern made her face red. Dior felt out his pipes and matches, and the light of the fire was insignificant, and the people standing in the cold wind were still as hot as fire. In this air that does not feel cold at all, she tells the 'story'.

Four years ago, a major disaster occurred in the Ming Kingdom. The important minister Wu launched a long-planned 'rebellion', and the general who guarded Liaodong with heavy troops opened the door to the Qing army that was in a hostile state with the Ming Empire. It is difficult for anyone to understand what means Emperor Ming used to counterattack the Qing army and expand the 'territory' in the end.

As a result, many residents of Liaodong thought that they were 'collaborating with the enemy' and were sent to Xingtai.

The fall of the Qing Dynasty also made the surrounding countries realize the skill of the Ming Empire again, and the war also led to a large number of casualties, and even accidentally injured a train to Nanjing.

The passengers on the train were almost all killed and wounded, and the last survivors received the best medical treatment in the capital, but even the best doctors could not save these lives with only one breath left. After about a month, the busy doctors who could be seen everywhere gradually became scarce, and the doctors were no longer able to return to the sky, and the last patients were only two people.

One of the two girls who happened to survive the accident was a foreigner, and the other was a descendant of a former court nobleman. Unfortunately, the girl's family has already died on the train, and only the girl is left. When she woke up, the girl immediately understood her situation, a good education and the ability to pass on the changes with her parents, so that she could accept her state - life was fine, and the damage to her body was basically repaired, but it was impossible for her to marry and have children like other girls.

She wasn't discouraged. During her recuperation, she often looked at the silver-haired girl in the same ward as her. The girl's injuries were much more serious than hers, and it is said that she protected the girl with her body at the moment of the train crash, so she could have been saved, otherwise her fate might not have been different from that of other passengers.

This is what she has been taught since she was a child, but there is nothing she can do to help this girl. Even though her relatives had looted her parents' possessions, leaving only an empty house, she was glad she had at least been able to sell the dilapidated room.

The silver-haired girl is unidentified and does not have health insurance. Two months later, the doctors thought that the girl would never wake up for the rest of her life, and the doctors, who had already paid for her expensive medical bills, looked at the unconscious girl and sighed. At this time, the dark-haired girl next to the silver-haired girl's hospital bed looked at the doctor and said:

"I will pay for her medical expenses in advance, and ask my husband to continue to treat her. ”

Now it's time to pay back. From time to time, her relatives would bring her some condolences, and she would leave many of them that would last a long time, and decided to celebrate the girl's 'aftermath' when she woke up.

A month has passed, two months have passed, the city and the outside are lively, the lantern festival is in full swing, but the silver-haired girl has opened her eyes. Why did she save me? The black-haired girl couldn't help but think that if a 'rich child' like her, who was supposed to belong to two worlds with the silver-haired girl, if she hadn't happened to ride together because the train was delayed, the silver-haired girl wouldn't have sat next to her, and she wouldn't have survived.

Soon, the only 'possessions' she had left were wiped out due to the high cost of medical care, and the silver-haired girl was out of danger but showed no signs of waking up, as the doctors thought. The brunette girl began to pray, to the only god she knew, and she knew that the 'gods' would only listen to her.

Miracles don't happen. Her body was confirmed to be fine, and after the doctor checked her condition, confirmed that she could be discharged from the hospital, the silver-haired girl still needed a lot of nursing expenses, and the girl was penniless. She sold all her 'possessions' in order to bring the girl back to her senses.

Maybe there was nothing else in the world to look forward to. She never felt that this girl, who originally just happened to sit next to her, would become the only meaning of her life. She wanted to see the silver-haired girl open her eyes, she wanted to watch the beautiful lantern show with her - it didn't mean anything to be alone.

It was the first time she had this feeling.

When everything she had 'squandered', she made the most important decision.

"Hey, Nagisa, it's cold outside, doesn't it matter if you dress like this?" Sixteen Night burped and walked up to Nagisa with a wine jug, interrupting her intentionally or unintentionally.

"The lantern festival is in full swing, let's take a look? That dragon lantern is very beautiful, right?" Nagisa Xia held the crumbling, drunken face of Sixteen Nights, and then apologized to Dior, and helped Sixteen Nights back to his seat.

"Okay, how about this story?" Dior patted Liao Xueqing on the shoulder, "Are you satisfied?" ”

"What, didn't she say it herself?" Liao Xueqing retorted dissatisfiedly.

"Dior, what did she say?" Yuru looked at Dior with a confused expression.

"It's better to still not know, though..."

Dior exhaled smoke, and through the mist he could see the people singing and dancing in the distance.

“... It's a good story. ”

A girl's voice could be heard from the building. That is the voice of the women in the dust, who yearn for 'freedom' and 'sincerity', but they don't know that they are bound by some kind of affection. The voices in the bar, ethereal, dreamlike, will slip away from the ears if you are not careful, like the whispers of the saints, and their words are not something that can reach people's hearts. Dealing with all kinds of people, they have already seen through the love, hatred, hatred, and affection between children and daughters, and have long understood that one day, they will be ruthlessly abandoned after all values are squeezed dry, and 'words' alone cannot convey the sorrow of blood and tears.

"Look, the full moon is far away. Jun, when will you pay it back? I can't sleep at night when I pick up the lamp, my children are in love, who knows that my heart is still dead? Huangliang finally realizes a dream, a feather coat is beautiful, and a phoenix seeks a phoenix. ”

Their world is nothing but boundless darkness. But at a certain moment, in this boundless darkness, there will be a tiny light, sometimes flickering, sometimes bright, it is precisely because of this light that they will yearn for such a life - like a moth to a fire, burning everything about themselves for a short time, showing everything they have.

"Oh, I've drunk a little too much, let's go, let's go to the building boat and have a look, it's about to set sail." Sixteen Night shook his head and led Sakuya out of the store with Nagisa Xia.

"Huh, she..."

Liao Xueqing just wanted to ask something, but was immediately hammered on the head by Dio next to him, Dio smiled slightly at Zhu Xia, and said:

"Let's go, it's not a little windy in this place, sixteen nights, are you really drunk? When you went to the North Pole on a mission, you also had a lot of fun, and it didn't take long to recover. ”

"Maybe that's what I'm like, but seriously..."

If you can get drunk once, it would be great.
