Thirty-nine, Lina's death
Five days later.
Ding Yi saw that the color of the trees around him had finally changed, and the black was much lighter, and tears flowed down his heart, and he finally found the right direction!
Walking around the forest alone, although he did not encounter mortal danger, the monotonous and depressing forest life still gave people a lot of psychological pressure, and now that there was finally hope, Ding Yi's heart was naturally overjoyed.
Looking at the stars in the sky, it was not early, and Ding Yi was about to stop to rest, when he suddenly heard a faint shout.
"Hey, big guy!"
That's right, it's a human voice, and it's a very familiar human voice, Ding Yi immediately drove the mecha towards the source of the sound!
"Lina!" Sure enough, it was her, but it seemed that something was wrong, and she was lying on the ground at this time, unable to move, and her shouting voice was a little lacking.
Ding Yi climbed out of the mecha on three hands and two feet and ran in front of her, "Lina!"
Lina saw that it was Ding Yi, and showed a sincere smile, just if she looked carefully, she would find that her face was a little stiff, "Hehe, I didn't expect it to be you, we are really fate!"
Ding Yi saw that her current situation was a little bad, and he was about to help her up and take her into the mecha warehouse to settle down, but Lina shook her head, "No, the province will have to move out later." ”
Ding Yi looked at her resolutely, helplessly let go, and asked, "What happened to you?
"Poisoned, neurotoxins in the whole body, bitten by a poisonous snake, first lost sensation in my legs, then my body, now I only have my head and can move, and when the toxin spreads to my head, I will be almost ...... Hehe, do you think my bad luck is getting worse?" Lina still had the heart to joke.
Ding Yi didn't have the heart to listen to her self-deprecation, and as soon as he heard about the poisoning, he had to go back to the mecha to get a spare medical kit, which should have an antidote.
Lina shouted to Ding Yi, "Don't go, it's useless, that antidote can't cure this poison, don't waste it." ”
Ding Yi ignored her, climbed into the mecha to find the antidote, and hurriedly ran back, pulled Lina's arm, and injected the antidote into her.
Lina smiled bitterly, "I should be happy to meet such a 'cute' guy as you before I die." ”
Ding Yi pulled the needle from Lina's arm, "How did you get this way?" ”
Although the antidote could not detoxify the toxins on her body, it could at least suppress it temporarily, and Lina could already feel the intuition in her hand slowly recovering...... Unfortunately, this is just an illusion, and after the effect of the drug, she will still die of a broken nerve all over her body.
“…… After we were separated, I was caught by the Red Rock Bird, struggled in mid-air, and fell into a small swamp, and when I managed to find a way out of the swamp, I was chased by a mud baby beast...... In the end, I was bitten by a poisonous snake...... Hehe, don't you think that I, the unlucky guy, have finally killed myself?"
Ding Yi was a little complicated in his heart, he didn't know what to say for a while, although he didn't get along with Lina for a long time, and he was threatened by her during the period, but after all, he was a comrade-in-arms who shared hardships, and no matter how much he complained, it became unimportant in the face of life and death.
Lina didn't expect her to answer, and continued: "I thought that the man in the mecha was a man in black, and I only planned to let him cremate the body for me...... I don't want my body to be eaten by the beasts of the forest when I die...... But since it's you, maybe God sees me as pitiful, can I ask you for something? Of course, it's not about killing people and setting fires to take revenge, but just asking you to go to my house after you go out and help me take samples and burn my ......."
Ding Yi nodded solemnly, his nose was a little sour, this kind of scene of confessing his last words can always arouse the deepest sadness and fragility in people's hearts.
Lina looked at her and smiled, "You're such a 'cute' guy, if my baby were still alive...... You don't know, I once had a child, and if I survived, I would be a cute little guy!"
Ding Yi didn't want the atmosphere to be too sad, and tried to answer her easily, "I can't see it, I didn't expect you to be an older woman!"
"Haha, I'm over 100 years old!"
"Really, but you are so reckless, are you only old, not brainy?" Remembering the trouble she had caused along the way, Ding Yi had some itchy teeth.
Lina retorted, "You don't have a brain, if I hadn't been cursed...... Forget it, don't tell you this, what can you do, it's just to add to your troubles!"
Ding Yi rolled his eyes inwardly, and he had the brain to get into trouble several times and expose the topic, "What do you want me to do for you?"
Lina coughed, her eyes a little dazed, "A red dress on my bedside...... If you can, you can take my ashes back and burn the clothes and put them with my ashes, if it's not convenient...... Forget it, you just burn it. ”
Ding Yi naturally agreed to this kind of trivial matter, and Lina told her her the address of her house, and her eyes signaled, "The key to my house is hanging around my neck." ”
Ding Yi took off the key, felt that her body temperature was getting lower and lower, and quickly lowered his head to suppress the astringency in his eyes, and said half-jokingly: "What if I ransack your house?"
Lina smiled, her facial muscles stiffening again, "Whatever, no one wants it anyway...... I've always been a person, and it's not worth much......"
"Tell me about your past", Ding Yi interrupted her, changing the subject, time was running out, and she was dying...... Something had to be left behind, whether happy or sad, at least it could be proved by her memory......
Maybe in the future, she can find someone to pass on this memory, and more people will remember her...... Lina's life is worth it.
I smiled bitterly, there is really enough "Holy Mother"!
Lina smiled at Ding Yi gratefully, obviously knowing what Ding Yi meant, and began to talk about the past intermittently, the ignorant impulsiveness when she was young, the wanton smile when she was a mercenary, and the unlucky daily life after being discharged from the army.
Gradually, the sky grew darker and darker, and the chirping of the insects around her became louder, but Lina's voice became smaller and quieter, until it was even a few seconds before she could spit out a word, until it was completely dark, and even the slight sound of breathing disappeared.
Ding Yi kept his head down and listened, motionless, not knowing whether to regret the ups and downs of Lina's life, or to grieve for her desolate death. It wasn't until she could no longer be heard that Ding Yi got up and put on night vision goggles, picked up some hay nearby, laid it out, and moved Lina's body, which was still smiling, and set it on fire.
Looking at Lina, who was gradually disappearing in the fire, and looking up at the shining stars in the sky, Ding Yi's heart suddenly flashed infinite melancholy.
In her previous life, she also watched all her relatives cremated like this, what was her mood at that time?
Numb, confused, and bored!
Especially when she saw her younger brother, who was still coquettish to her in the morning, her face pale and gradually disappearing under the fire, at that moment her whole world was shattered...... And then how was it good?
Oh, by the way, it was only after discovering the existence of the conspiracy that she transferred her grief to hatred, and the hardships and bitterness of those days are also full of grief and anger when she thinks about it now.
Witnessing the death of a friend in the fire again, somehow, she suddenly felt that maybe there was nothing wrong with surviving, at least I still have memories of the dead, and living with these memories is actually a kind of proof of the existence of the dead, isn't it!
"Now, Lina, I'll send you a song and wish you all the best. ”
"The world you have created is so beautiful
It's so dazzling and so sad for me
……
Although I know that even if I shout it, it will no longer be able to reach it
I really want to dedicate this requiem to you
The world I live in is like a birdcage
There must be no way to get out of it
Whoever it is, please help me
Can't stop the tears that are gradually overflowing
……
I just want to give you a smile
Gentle man who tells lies, I will forgive you
Because that's the only thing I can do for you
……”
As the fire gradually extinguished, Ding Yi took out an empty box from the space, carefully packed the ashes, put them into the space, took a light breath, and returned to the mecha, ready to rest and continue on his way.
She has a tomorrow, doesn't she?
……
In a high place in the inner perimeter of the Red and Black Forest, a group of people are camping here to rest.
"Sister Lan, that guy is awake!" Ji Ju hurriedly ran into Lanjing's tent, pulling her and running.
"Slow down, you won't run again!"
"Oh, the quack doctor said he could only wake up for a while, and then he would faint again, hurry up!"
When the two of them arrived in a hurry, Xiao Dashao had already gotten the news inside, and at this time he was questioning the unlucky guy who was rescued by them.
"Your identity?"
"Ahem, Levi Cruise, mercenary. "That's right, it's the lost Levy.
After being separated from Tiny, Levy was lucky at first, avoiding the pursuit of the Red Rock Bird, and later dodging several crises without danger, until five days ago, the animals in the forest suddenly rioted for unknown reasons, he didn't have time to dodge, and was trampled by a herd of medium-sized road cattle, fortunately he protected the vital point in time, but a few ribs were broken, his right arm and left leg were broken, and there was no major damage in other places.
However, although his life was saved, because of his inconvenience and difficulty in finding food, he could only move slowly with hunger, until he was rescued by Xiao Dashao's group today.
Of course, if it weren't for the fact that he had the privilege of seeing Xiao Dashao and knowing who he was, even if they saved his life, he wouldn't have told him his true identity so readily.
Xiao Dashao continued to ask: "Mercenary, are you here to do a mission?"
Levi smiled bitterly, and still replied frankly, "Caught in", since the heirs of the Xiao family have personally entered the forest, the purpose must not be simple, it is very likely that the purpose is the same as that of the previous men in black, he confessed to provide information, and it should be a little life-saving grace.
Sure enough, Xiao Dashao was a little surprised when he heard this, "Oh, did you catch it, is it convenient to reveal the reason?" Why did he think it had something to do with his mission this time...... Thinking of the strange intrusion signal intercepted by the family before, he couldn't wait to ask, "Do you know who the other party is?"
