Chapter 54: Farewell, Xiu
I think that the one hundred and fifty years of reincarnation, the emptiness and loneliness that has not befallen anyone for a hundred years, is the tribulation that exists because of the need to meet such a beautiful you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Since four years ago, the white-haired demon girl in Hanshan City has finally stopped. She no longer tried to blend in with the crowd, or even disappeared from everyone's sight. At the beginning, the residents of Hanshan City speculated for a while, thinking that she was enough of the scourge and had absorbed enough human spirit, and went into retreat and cultivation like the legendary old demon of Black Mountain.
No one knows when she will return to absorb their spirits. Such speculation made them very nervous for a while. But year passed, year after year, and they never saw her again, and they were relieved that she would never come back. Year after year has diluted their memories, so much so that when she appears on the street today, no one reacts.
Dressed in white and with waist-length white hair, she walked through the crowd with a grim expression, and then walked away silently, not squinting, not glancing at any of them.
The beauty of that moment amazed half of the city. Everywhere she passed, everyone froze. It wasn't until she stopped in front of the Hanshan Houfu and walked in slowly that they remembered who she was.
White-haired enchantress ...... Once again, the name caused an uproar in the city. She's beautiful, and everyone acknowledges it. However, they believe that this beauty is achieved because she has absorbed those unwarranted spirits. Her beauty amazed half of the city, but she couldn't break through the malicious barriers set by the world.
She is still shunned by everyone, she is still criticized by everyone, and she is still disgusted and abandoned by everyone. It seems to have become a habit for them, they have become accustomed to hurting her, and they are happy to do it. However, they didn't know that by the time they were immersed in verbal criticism, she had already ...... Lost in this world forever.
No matter how long they have been gone, their prejudice and malice are still stubborn. No matter what she becomes, no matter what price she pays. Human beings' malice towards aliens has been the same since ancient times.
So she knew that even if she made her secret about protecting them in the shadows, the circumstances she faced might change, but ...... They would still be alienated from her. The weak have never been afraid to guess the strong with the strongest malice, haven't they?
She understands that. But she still has hope, she still has the illusion that she will be accepted by them. And in the past five years, she still wants to be accepted by them after seeing so many ugliness belonging to the crowd in the dark area.
When her hands were bloodied for the first time, she knew that hope would never come true. But she still had the illusion that she wanted to be accepted by the crowd, even for a moment. That's why she will break the cover of the enchantment after surpassing the powerful undead, and walk towards her 'home' step by step.
When she walked through the crowd and felt the crowd being amazed by her beauty, the feeling of being accepted. She felt satisfied, but for no reason she felt a sense of emptiness. It seems that her long-standing battles have lost their meaning, and it seems that her long-standing battles have lost their meaning.
She stood in front of this 'home' that had no warmth after her mother's death, looked up at the four golden but extremely cold characters of 'Hanshan Houfu', and was silent for a while before she walked in...... Behind her, the malicious clamor returned, and that glimmer of acceptance collapsed in an instant.
She walked in the huge Hou Mansion and couldn't feel the slightest warmth. It wasn't until she returned to her room that she felt a hint of peace.
When she returned to her room, she leaned her back against the wooden door and raised her eyes to stare at the ceiling above her. She threw her head up, trying to hold back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes. The first time she fought the demons by herself, and finally killed them, she didn't cry; was pulled out of a big hole in the chest and abdomen by the evil thing's dying counterattack, and almost died on the spot, when the pain was so painful that she screamed and roared, she didn't cry; When she was splashed with blood from those demons, she didn't cry when she deeply felt the sins she had committed. But when the crowd showed their indifference to her and showed their malice towards her, she couldn't help crying.
The pain that she had endured all these years, the tears that had been suppressed in her heart all these years were surging in an instant, fiercely impacting her defense, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop it. Tears welled up in her eyes, unbridled on her delicate face. Unable to suppress the pain in her heart any longer, she slipped down from the wooden door against which she was leaning, hugged a pair of knees, and began to cry bitterly. The cry echoed desolate in the attic, where no one but her was avoided, and it was poignant.
"Ah Jing......" Xiu called out in her eyes, wanting to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say. He had known for a long time that her hopes were almost extravagant, and no matter how hard she tried, it would never come true. In the face of the almost conventional malice of the crowd, her hopes are destined to be only fantasies. Just like the fish looking up to the sky, it is out of reach.
However, what supported her was only this unattainable fantasy. Even if he knew that it was a chronic poison, even if he knew that she would face it all one day, and that it would hurt her heart because of its rupture, now he couldn't expose it, he couldn't put the bloody reality in front of her. Her heart faltered in the guilt of endless killing, supported only by this hope. If even this empty hope had collapsed, so would she ...... So, what else can he say? Is it to uncover the mystery, or to speak out to help her maintain this falsehood? All he could do was remain silent, and the only way to let her continue to hope.
So after he called her softly, he could only fall into a long silence. In this case, he could only accompany her silently. All he could do was for her to perceive his existence and understand it...... She's not alone.
After a long time, she stopped crying. After rubbing the white sleeves and wiping the tears from her face, she raised her head and ordered Xiu who was silent in her eyes in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Call me Jing'er." ā
āā¦ā¦ What the? Xiu looked shocked and was silent for a while, thinking that he had misheard, and asked.
I said...... Call me...... Jing'er. Shu Jing had no scruples, and repeated those four words without hurrying, but in the place where Xiu couldn't see it, her whole pretty face was red.
"Why?" Xiu finally recovered from the shock, and knew that he had heard correctly. However, he didn't know why she was making such a request at such a time, and she was still crying about such a thing just now. But now......
"Don't you want to?" Her crimson face turned pale for a moment, but she quietly bit her lower lip. She didn't answer his question, but she asked back, and directly forced him into a corner.
"......" Xiu was silent for a long time before he asked in a low voice, "Do you know what it means to be called this in my time?" ā
āā¦ā¦ I know," Shu Jing replied in a low voice, but she put her hand on the ground and stood up, "That's why I asked you to call me that." Her words blocked all his doubts and forced him into a corner again, "So, call me Jing'er." She repeated the words a third time, her voice trembling as if pleading.
"So...... I called. Xiu Ning stood in her eyes, pondering for a while, before she whispered, "Jing'er." When she heard this call, the corners of Shu Jing's mouth hooked up a trace of satisfaction, and she responded to his call in a low voice, "I'm here." ā
She walked slowly to the window, pushed open the wooden window, stared at the flowing clouds in the sky, and spoke in tacit understanding. "If the clouds fall, this life will not swerving."
ā¦ā¦
After that life, it was a long time before he understood why she made such a request at that time, and only then did he know what kind of wealth her actions at that time gave him something.
She needs a home, not an empty and cold mountain Houfu that will only make people feel cold. That's why she made that request, that's why she made that vow with him. In the same way, the wealth she left him was such a home. A home that can be missed, with the memory of her existence. Even though the home only existed for two days, it was forced to end because of this disgusting city. It became the best memory of his life.
And when the memory was torn apart, when all his attempts to save her were in vain, when she was swallowed up by this disgusting city before him, he was in pain more than ever. It's also crazier than ever.
He thought, he might have liked her for a long time. Maybe I liked her when she swore not to cry anymore and became extremely strong. Because of that strength, she is so pitiful. Or maybe it was earlier, when he swore to save her, or maybe ...... No matter how much maybe, it no longer matters, the important thing is that the person he loves disappeared in front of him, but he couldn't do anything.
He was imprisoned in the golden orb, flying out of her eyes, and she was covered in blood and trapped in that alley.
Instead of struggling, she chuckled and stared at the golden ball he was. She said, "Xiu, I finally understand what you mean by salvation."
She said, this time, you didn't save me. But, I believe in you, one day...... You're going to save someone. Because, you are my favorite repair. She whispered this, trying to smile, but tears flowed.
She reached out a hand and waved it at him as he walked away. She said, goodbye, my ...... Unswerving in this life.
He frantically slammed into the golden ball that enveloped him, trying to break away from it. He roared and roared, and finally only reached out of his upper body, and he reached out hard, trying to grab the hand she had leaned out to say goodbye. But her hand passed through his palm. In the end, he couldn't even touch her.
However, she smiled contentedly, with tears in her eyes. She said, "I'm finally seeing you...... Repair.
She said, "Save me, Xiu."
She said, farewell, Xiu.
ā¦ā¦
Jing'er. I will definitely ...... Salvation is shown to you. Xiu opened his eyes and stared at the dark sky outside the window through Zhang Zhou's eyes. whispered in his heart......
