Chapter Seventy-Five: What You Want
It was midday, and the sun was blazing.
Under the shade of the trees, through the messy branches, carefree squinted slightly at the sun in a daze, and behind her was a tall and straight man, who stood quietly behind her and pursed his lips silently.
The breeze blew, bringing up a few strands of hair, and Wu Wu couldn't help but shiver, and subconsciously tightened his samurai robe. It's the end of summer, and although the sun is hot, you can't feel a trace of warmth without worry.
It's been three days, and she woke up after a day of coma, but she didn't do anything, just chose a room next to the young city lord to live in.
Today is the last day of the three-day period, and when the sun sets, that is when the snow dance soul is gone.
She had promised the woman that she would take her away at that moment and secretly bury her under a tree in the City Lord's Mansion, where the young city lord's study was the place where he was most often seen, even though her soul was scattered, she hoped that her body would stay with him forever.
Carefree agreed, she couldn't bear to refuse her humble request.
Although the young lady's body has long lost its vitality, but worry-free has no action, she is waiting, she wants to give them the last three days, but now it is the last time, and some partings are inevitable.
"Shall we go?" Sighing slightly, a determined glint in Carefree eyes, he said to Leo.
"Yes." Leo didn't say anything, he knew that nothing he said now would comfort her, all he could do was to accompany her.
The young city lord's room was empty, only the young lady and him were lying quietly on the bed. All of them were relieved of their solitude, and no one could disturb their solitude.
Walking slowly to the young lady's bedside, Wuwu felt that his steps were extremely heavy. Looking at the woman on the bed as if she was asleep, she knew that she would never come back.
Reaching out and taking their clenched hands, there was some hesitation in Wuwu's eyes, and she groaned for a moment, but she still broke them away with all her strength.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but when I broke their hands, I didn't know if I felt the young city lord's trembling.
Shaking his head, taking the sensation as an illusion of two sleepless days, Carefree set his eyes on Leo. Leo understood, picked up the young lady and walked out the door.
Worry-free didn't follow, she turned around, looked at the young city lord who was still sleeping, and muttered: "You are so lucky, there is a woman in the world who once loved you Rusi, and you are also very pitiful, because you have lost her forever, you give me a good life, because even if you die, you will never find her again."
With a long sigh, Carefree kept up with Leo's pace.
On the bed, the handsome man was still asleep, and no one noticed that a line of tears was drawn from the corners of his closed eyes.
Under the big tree outside the study, he looked at the young lady lying on the ground without worry, and his eyes were full of unbearability.
But she still moved, silently reciting the incantation in her heart, and the bright light of fire flashed from the fingertips of Sanssouci, it was not a hellfire of fire, just an ordinary fire, but the energy contained in it was enough to burn a sentence's body.
With a flick of his fingertips, the wisp of flame swept through the young lady's whole body as if it had a life.
The flames were like a piece of battle armor, enveloping the young lady, but it was so ruthless that in less than a moment, she was still alive and there was only a place of ashes left.
Leo wanted to bend down to pick it up, but was gently pushed away by Carefree.
A white bottle appeared from the palm of the carefree hand, squatted down, stretched out a slightly trembling hand, and carefully collected the ashes for the young lady.
In the gray-white ashes, a piece of green jade appeared, the fire just now did not cause any damage to it, and the jade was still crystal clear.
Rubbing the jade pendant that warmed his hands because of the burning fire, two clear words flashed on it: Xuan, dance.
The jade pendant slipped from her hand when she was stunned, and fell alone in the ashes, looking particularly depressed.
Picking up the jade pendant, anger flashed in Wuwu's eyes, and she suddenly felt very worthless for the young lady. Yes, she regretted it, although the meeting with the young lady was not friendly, but she really didn't hate it like this, on the contrary, for the bad deeds of the young city lord, she really didn't deserve such a sincere effort from the young lady.
"Maybe I should be ruthless and pour the water of forgetfulness directly into her to drink" as if talking to himself, as if he was saying to Leo again, holding the jade pendant tightly without worry, his face full of remorse.
"You won't!" Leo replied firmly.
Hearing his words, he shuddered violently, it was undeniable that Leo was right, she wouldn't do that, she couldn't bear it.
"Let's go!" The low boy sounded, and before he knew it, Leo had already packed up the young lady's ashes and buried them.
Standing up, Carefree didn't look like she was leaving, she stuffed the jade pendant into Leo's hand and said lightly: "Go and put it on him, she will like it!" ”
He didn't name him, but Leo already understood, but he still had some doubts in his heart, and he took a deep look at Wuwu, and when he saw that she didn't mean to explain again, he sighed and turned his head away.
"I have done what I promised you, and I have also handed over the jade pendant to him, I will never see him again, because I can't guarantee that I can't help but kill him when I see his face, he was saved by you with your life, I promise you will not hurt him"
Worry-free's words were very light, although he heard it clearly, a clear smile rose from the corner of his mouth, originally Carefree did not personally hand over the jade pendant to the young city lord He was still a little puzzled, but now hearing her whisper, all doubts also dissipated.
In the room, the young city lord was still asleep, the tears in the corners of his eyes had not dried, and he glanced at it in surprise, Leo didn't speak, just threw the jade pendant into his arms and left.
Not only is he worry-free, but even Leo looks down on him, a person who doesn't know how to cherish, but wants the woman he loves to save with his life, is not worthy of his sympathy at all.
The young lady's death, worry-free did not tell the city lord and his wife, but only said that the young lady felt that it was no longer possible with the young city lord in this life, and had already drunk the water of forgetfulness with the young city lord, hoping that the second elder could keep this secret and not cause her any trouble.
Although they were reluctant, the second elder still cherished this daughter-in-law, so they did not refuse this matter, because their son was not good enough and was indeed not worthy of her.
"Tell Wu'er that even though she and Xuan'er became strangers in the future, she is still our daughter, I hope she can come to see us, or let people report her safety, let us know that she is doing well, and we will be at ease!"
The city lord's wife, who regarded the young lady as a daughter, had already burst into tears, and said this in a sobbing voice, which made Wuwu feel a little relieved, at least Xue Wu's sacrifice was not in vain.
"She said, never seeing each other again is the best ending!" Leave this sentence lightly, and leave without worry.
Looking at the back of the carefree departure, although the second elder still had many doubts in his heart, he still couldn't help but didn't speak.
"Let's go! This is Wu'er's choice, let's go see Xuan'er, he should be awake! The red-eyed lord of the castle comforted his wife.
Touching the tears in the corners of her eyes, the city lord's wife nodded in agreement.
"Xuan'er, are you awake?"
"How does it feel? Are you really awake?
Looking at the man who opened his eyes on the bed, the city lord and his wife both exclaimed.
Looking at the second elder with tears in his eyes hesitantly, the young city lord looked inexplicable.
"Father, mother, what happened?"
"It's good to wake up! Just wake up! Without answering the words of the young city lord, the city lord's wife sighed again and again.
"Xuan'er, Red Leaf City was attacked by a dark mage, you were injured and fell into a deep sleep, and this sleep is several years." The lord of the city, who has always been wise, sorted out his thoughts and opened his mouth to explain.
Touching it was still a little painful, looking at the piece of jade pendant left beside him, the young city lord seemed to think of something, but he had no clue.
"Why do I feel empty in my heart, as if I have lost something very important, what is this, why does it have my name on it?" Holding the warm jade, the young city lord asked.
Looking at the warm jade in the young city lord's hand in surprise, and also surprised that the young city lord had really forgotten about Xue Wu, the two elders glanced at each other, and a consensus was reached from the eyes of the two.
It was the mouth of the lord of the castle.
"Xuan'er, this jade pendant was originally your fiancée's, and then it was returned after the divorce, and you agreed to withdraw from the marriage at that time, you have always regarded the girl as a sister, and now the girl married and gave it back to you, saying that she would give it to her future sister-in-law, this is not what you have always carried with you, and you have met the person you like."
With the slightest loophole, the young city lord who had a confused memory was frightened, and he didn't ask anything more, and continued to sleep.
Seven days later, under the big tree in the study of the City Lord's Mansion, a man snuggled up to the trunk of the tree, holding a jade pendant in his hand and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he slowly spoke: "Wu'er, is this what you want?" Is this your punishment for me? My life is your exchange, I have no right to end it, I can only live in pain, is this what you want? ”
The man stroked his chest left and right, holding the jade pendant in his right hand, his eyes were full of pain, this was the young city lord who had not woken up for a long time.
For some reason, a few days ago, when he came to the study to read, he accidentally passed by this tree, and his heart suddenly ached, and when he touched the trunk, all the memories that should have been erased came back like a tide.
He knew everything, he knew her decision, he knew that they might not have the next life, because when he was unconscious, he vaguely heard someone say:
"You are so lucky, there is a woman in the world who once loved you Rusi, and you are also very pitiful, because you have lost her forever, you give me a good life, because even if you die, you will never find her again"
He knew that this was not his hallucination, this was the words of the person who saved him, so he did not end his life and go with her, but chose to continue to live.
He can't die, he will forget Wu'er when he dies, he has to firmly imprint her into his soul in the days to come, even if he is reincarnated thousands of times, he still can't forget him.
And his parents, he has already hurt his favorite, and he can't let the person who loves him the most be hurt anymore, he has to continue to pretend to forget, and take good care of them in the second elder's lifetime, presumably this is what she wants to see
The leaves rattle, as if responding to the secret in the man's heart.
