Chapter Sixty-Eight: Alter's Kindness
It had been a long walk until a large forest appeared in front of me again.
"When you arrive, you follow the path and go inward, and under the thirtieth tree, I have buried a box. Take it out and go inside. ”
Xiu didn't answer, and walked into the forest with an expressionless face.
Turning over the rotting leaves, digging through piles of slippery dirt, I finally saw a delicate clams box.
Shuna took it in his hand.
"...... Now"
Xiu opened his mouth to ask.
"Don't open it, keep going inside. ”
After walking for a moment, he came to the small pond that Alter had drilled into a few days earlier. Voices came from the leaves again.
"He sat down on the stone by the edge of the pool and drank the medicine. ”
"Oh, I underestimate you, there is actually a secret method of snooping with water as the media. ”
Unbeknownst to Xiu, Arte was hiding at the bottom of the pool and staring at him.
"I'll take you to get the pieces after drinking, you don't have much time. ”
Art's voice urged strangely in the leaves, and Xiu closed his eyes.
Recalling that when she inadvertently saw Kite at school, she laughed at herself for being a husky, and he remembered every look.
In the dark realm, jumping over the city wall, holding the hand of the kite, as happy as eloping, every hug, he remembers.
At that time, how he longed to return to the Transfiguration Realm and live a stable life from now on.
It's ridiculous anymore......
The poison was not as bitter or spicy as he had imagined, but like sugar water. With a strange sweetness.
"What about the shards?"
"Alas, it's really infatuated, shouldn't you ask first, how long can you live?"
Xiu smiled miserably, "I'm afraid you're going to poison me from the beginning, and you don't plan to give me the fragments." ”
"That's fine...... I guess I'm being deceived. ”
"Why should I lie to a man who is going to die, how dare you look down on me so much!!"
Arte screamed nervously, and after a while, he slowly stopped, and said with a grin.
"Keep going, and inside is the second gift. ”
After another short journey, the leaves finally stopped.
"It was my favourite view. ”
Xiu was standing in front of a sea of flowers at this time. After reading a sentence softly, he began to miss the kite again.
The already tall Xiu, because he has been really sad these days, has become thinner, and standing alone in front of the beautiful scenery looks particularly desolate.
"Wait here, and in a while there will be a little demon carrying a brocade box for you, and inside is the fragment, but I advise you not to open it here, otherwise any disobedient little demon will know the secret, and it will not be good for you." ”
Alter boasted that he was open, and at this time he also explained a sentence.
"By the way, there's a third gift, and you'll receive it tomorrow. ”
"How long will I live?"
The leaves in front of Shumi's eyes had slowly turned yellow and shrunk.
"Ten days, you have ten days. ”
With Alter's last word, the leaves also fell into the field, turned to ashes, and then blown away by the breeze with the scent of sweet flowers.
Ten days?
- Even if you live long enough to see the day when the stars no longer shine, it is not as lucky as being able to live as you wish for just a few decades.
When I first said this, my eyes were full of brilliance and gentleness.
Now, Xiu has not had decades to do as he pleases, and even if he only has ten days left, he still can't spend it with Kite. But he was still happy, and before he died, he fulfilled the obsession of his beloved.
The poison had not yet fully attacked, but Xiu was no longer able to fly, and walked slowly, returning to his lonely cage, with a hint of anticipation, waiting for his kite......
————
Knock knock, a few knocks on the door, disturbed Jin Hanyuan, who was pretending to sleep and meditating on the bed.
When the door opened, there was a foul smell of temperature and a few drops of black, cloudy slime.
A note lay quietly on the ground.
Jin Han grabbed the note and saw the crooked small words on it.
My poor friend, Xiu. At this time, I am in the hollow of the tree, lonely and desperate to be tormented by ten thousand insects, I can't bear it, I have come to tell you that I want to see you again before I die.
Jin Hanyuan tore up the note, and he didn't have to think about it to know the origin of the note.
"Tanding, you must not let me catch the owner of the note, or ...... I'm going to torture him and make him die!"
While cursing Tanding's viciousness, Jin Hanyuan blamed Xiu for being so stupid, and quickly set off towards the Divine Tree.
And when she landed near the spiritual spring, she didn't know how to face Xiu, and hesitated whether to go in to see him.
"Kite, is that you?"
At this time, Xiu Cai moved back from the outside step by step, but he didn't expect that what he was looking forward to on the road really came true.
Before Jin Hanyuan could speak, Xiu hurriedly pulled her to the tree hole.
"Look. ”
The pale fingers slowly peeled off the lock on Nishikiwa.
A fragment of the ability core was lying quietly on the red flannel, revealing a strange color, and appeared in front of Jin Hanyuan's eyes.
The aura that made her so familiar, how much time it took her, and how much time it made him bruise all over his body.
Finally, she saw her again.
Finally, it returned to Jin Hanyuan's side again.
It was a part of Xi, a part of the people she loved, the ultimate hope that could bring Xi back to life.
But she didn't reach for it, because of the colorful fragments that appeared, confirming what was written on the note.
Xiu saw that Jin Hanyuan was reluctant to accept it, so he carefully closed the brocade box and carefully placed it on the table beside him.
This is the most important thing for his beloved kite, and there must be no mistakes, he thought to himself, and the movements of his hands were a little gentle.
Xiu looked at Jin Hanyuan seriously, but he no longer had the joy he had before, and was replaced by more reluctance.
Yes, in these good-looking brown eyes, in the pupils that reflect the figure of the kite, only reluctance remains.
"Xiu! What kind of Gu poison have you been in, I will definitely find a way to save you!"
Jin Hanyuan was very calm at this time, did not cry, did not collapse, and did not roar.
Xiu stretched out his arms and wanted to take the kite into his arms, but like a frightened little beast, he shrank back violently.
Jin Hanyuan took Xiu's hand, put it on his back, and threw himself into Xiu's arms.
"My kite is back. ”
"Why are you so stupid, why are you doing this, how can you make me bear it, take this piece to save him. ”
"Don't worry, kite, you wait for me. In the next life, you can choose me again. ”
Jin Hanyuan's tears soaked Xiu's robe and seeped into his chest.
"Don't cry, Iris, it's okay to accompany me to see the sea of flowers?" I've always thought that it would be better if you could accompany me to see it once, maybe twice......
Jin Hanyuan raised his head and wiped his tears, his eyes seemed to be burning with a large flame, and his dark green eyes were reflected red.
Her eyes reopened, the corners of her eyes raised.
"I will save you, and if you die, then I will destroy this fragment as well. Xi is not saved, the realm master of the supernatural realm will not do it, and he will learn from you, and they will all die. ”
Xiu was not surprised by Jin Hanyuan's identity.
Probably he had already guessed it, waiting for his kite to tell him in person one day.
"What nonsense is Kite talking again, you live well, don't learn from me to be a short-lived ghost, in the next life, it's not too late for you to pay back what you owe me, are you willing to wait for me again?"
"I don't want to. You can't die!"
Why, why is it so heartbroken, even more than Xi.
What is it, why did Jin Hanyuan hear a muffled voice, as if it came from that dream.
——
"Would you like to marry me?"
"Naturally, I would like to. But it's too insincere for you to ask casually like this. ”
Is it a conversation between Xi and Jin Hanyuan?
The sudden appearance at this time was to remind Jin Hanyuan, is Xi still waiting for her to be resurrected?
