Chapter 31: The Story of Five Hundred Years
"The first life. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I can see that I am a woman who loves beauty. She asked me if she was beautiful. I don't think it's beautiful. She cried. β
Purple Pupil asked, "Don't you feel distressed when you see her crying?"
"I don't have a 'heart', where does the 'pain' come from?"
"Was your heart stolen? was it stolen by a woman?"
"It was stolen, but it was stolen by my apprentice. He said he was my apprentice, and I didn't teach him anything...... Let's not talk about it, let's go back to the first life. "If that woman had asked if she was ugly, I would have answered if she was ugly." I never lie. She didn't ask me any more questions, I didn't see her, and the life was over. β
"This second lifeβ" His tone suddenly raised, as if it had risen again, and it was difficult to continue, and the words hung there.
Purple Pupil turned sideways and glanced at him helplessly: "Say it quickly......"
"In the second life, a girl came to me and asked me how a friend of hers was doing. I replied that he was not doing well. When the girl heard this, she wept sadly, and blinded her eyes!"
"Say some sincere words to comfort her. β
"Don't worry, and listen to what happens. After a pause, he continued, "That friend of hers came back to see her because she was having a bad time. Knowing that she hurt her eyes for him, he was very moved, so he married her. β
"Are you weak-hearted?" Purple Hitomi opened her eyes, looked straight at that face, and said coldly.
"How so?"
"I want to hear the truth. β
"Actually. The distant friend was not doing well because there was a fire there, and her friend was disfigured in that fire. He didn't have the face to go back to see her because of his low self-esteem, but when he learned that she was blind, he came back and married her in a hurry. β
"Does that girl know that her Langjun really loves her?" Zitong didn't know how she found out that Lao Yu had something to hide, but knowing the so-called truth, she just felt that the person who should have been moved was actually thinking about herself, and that guy was willing to marry her, just because she was easier to get than other girls, so she barely loved her...... This person with emotions is really complicated!
"Sincerely, fakely. When the girl was blind, she couldn't see me, and the second life was over. β
She listened to him tell stories of the past one by one, stories from a long, long time ago, and his tone was dyed with fresh vitality.
"I was met in the third life by a young man. He was ambitious and radiant and asked me if he could make a difference. I told him it wouldn't do much. And he was gone. When I saw him again, he was in rags and looked down. He still stared at me unconvinced, asking me the same questions he had back then. My answer, of course, is the same. When he heard this, he died in front of me. β
Purple Pupil disagreed: "If you had answered him and given him some encouragement, he would not have ended up in this field." β
"He was young and vigorous at that time, and if I encouraged him again, he would surely succeed in one day and lose in the future, so why should I tell such a lie? Besides, I will not lie, as long as he believes me, I cannot lie!"
"Do you dare to assert that he is not promising?
"I don't dare to prove anything. ButβyesβI didn't miss a mistake. β
The purple pupil glanced at him, and only said two words: "Rigid." β
There can be many answers to a question, but there can only be one correct one. He bit every word very clearly.
What about the truth? Is there only one truth? Some correct answers may not be the truth. "Purple Hitomi thinks strangely, always being able to pull on things that are superficially unrelated.
"Reality is a puzzle, there are many possibilities, and many people want to guess the ultimate mystery, but they often get lost in it. And I, on the other hand, are outside of this game. Isn't my answer the most accurate?"
"Whatever you want. Purple Pupil said indifferently and closed her eyes again, "Don't stop the story." β
"Fourth, it was a husband and wife, and they could see me, and I was so happy! They asked me if they could stay together forever, and I replied yes. They all laughed, but I know they didn't believe what I said. It didn't take long for them to separate. Later, when the woman had gray hair, she came to me and asked me why what I said couldn't come true, and I just replied, 'Because you don't believe it.'" Then, she died. When the man came to me on crutches, he said to me with regret that if he had believed me, they might still be together......"
The story he said doesn't seem to have an end, only constant encore:
"The fifth. I was seen by twin sisters. They are not asking about the beauty or ugliness of individuals, nor about the safety of others or other trivial matters, they are asking whether the whole world will be okay. I replied, no. Then the sister said, 'I will guard the world.' The sister said, 'I will not let the world be chaotic.' Their vows are true...... Funny. I said contemptuously, 'You're trying to change my answer?', 'Exactly.' They replied bluntly. After that, they placed me here, and the three of us talked about life and philosophy, and we had a lot of fun. One day, they said, "Let me wait for them to come back, and they will prove that my original answer to that question is wrong." 'Well, I'll wait for you to come back and prove you're right!' I said. Then they left and never came back. Actually, they didn't believe me, so what I said might not be true. β
"When did this happen?" Purple Hitomi felt like she had experienced this story, and it was a strange feeling.
"Heh, it was only more than ten years ago. They said they would come back, I thought they would, I would wait until they came back......" His tone grew deeper, almost whimpering.
"I'm sure one day, you'll wait for them. β
"At first glance at your back, I thought it was one of them. I thought they were back. His expression turned ugly, "I feel like they've never left...... It's true. It's just that they're not with me. β
"Why don't you ask yourself when they'll be back?"
"I prefer to sleep rather than ask myself. I don't remember anything after this sleep. I thought I was going to die like this, but I didn't think about it...... And the sixth, you, and that cold boy. His voice was hazy, "Actually, I asked myself, and the answer was-
They won't come back. β
And he's still waiting......
"Can you believe it?"
"I ...... I'm not going to lie to myself. β
Purple Hitomi seemed to understand something. Because he had nothing to worry about, his answer was correct. He doesn't need to lie to please anyone, and he doesn't need to hide anything. He is not exposed to many mundane things in the world, and can maintain otherworldly judgments and analyses. When he began to fear for their safety, he was caught in this fateful situation. He was uncomfortable and helpless with the given answer.
He had been asleep for a long, long time, and he thought he would forget. He thought he was going to die. He thought that there was no one like them, and there was nothing in this world worthy of his nostalgia. But knowing that those people would not come back, he still wanted to promise:
I'll wait for you.
"I want to fall asleep again. In the dreamβthere are them. He said lightly.
"I finally woke you up, and you fell asleep again, and I have a question to ask you what to do?"
"I slept. The tree is still green, and I'm not dead. The answer you want will still bear fruit on the branches. He closed his eyes, "It's just that you'll have to wait until the answer is ripe." β
The face was hidden in the bumpy bark and was out of sight.
Purple Pupil's hand unconsciously stroked the position of his face, and called softly: "Old fang, old fang......"
"Don't touch me like that! it's so itchy......" A funny voice emerged.
Zitong couldn't say the surprise in her heart, but she said hurriedly: "Old man, I suddenly thought of a question, I just saw a child, very good-looking, wearing a white cloth, is he ...... Ling Junyi?"
"I'm getting old, too. Reveal so much more, and I'll lose my life. He said in a dead end.
"You've lived so long, and you should be satisfied if you let you die now. It doesn't matter how many years you live. I, I'm ......" She saw the expressionless face on the tree, and suddenly stopped talking.
"He, I can only tell you the face he first saw when he was looking for the beginning of his life. Of course, maybe he recognized the wrong person just like me. When he finished speaking, he disappeared again.
Purple Pupil didn't want to disturb him anymore. It's the story he tells...... Now, his story is in the sixth life, and the protagonists in his story are Purple Pupil and Zilan. Only then did she realize that she had been on the stage.
She was thinking about it when she felt something falling, and she pounced with the agility of a football goalkeeper and caught it...... Ball? No, it's a fruit.
