No matter how hard Ah Zhen begged, Shen Yan'er just refused to stop, and walked faster and faster. In desperation, Ah Zhen had to think of another way: "Miss, then I'll sing to you...... Singing to the last breath, if the singing stops, it means that I am dead...... Don't hesitate to kill me......"

Ah Zhen's intermittent words slashed on Shen Yan'er's heart one by one. Shen Yan'er bit her lip and couldn't cry. Two days ago, she could have interrupted Ah Zhen loudly and told her not to say such unlucky things, but now she doesn't even have the strength to do so. The fortitude in disguise was completely shattered by the cruel truth at this moment.

No one needed to sue her, she had seen very clearly the miserable fate of herself and Ah Zhen soon after. There will be no miracle, Ah Zhen will die on her back, and she can't do anything, she can only carry Ah Zhen on her back and walk in the vast darkness until the moment Ah Zhen breathes......

She will never see the light come again, so she can only exhaust the last of her strength in the darkness, and then die alone, becoming a walking corpse, and finally being stabbed in the head by the Guards, and completely dead......

Just imagining it felt like all her strength was exhausted, but for some reason, Shen Yan'er's legs continued to move forward uncontrollably. Shen Yan'er, who was on the verge of the limit, was extremely slow, and it took a long time to move less than ten meters away.

In a trance, his mind drifted in the distant other side of his mind, and he felt dizzy even when he closed his eyes. There was Ah Zhen's soft singing voice in his ears, and he seemed to go back to the scene of seeing Ah Zhen for the first time in the Shen family restaurant many years ago.

The soft song is beautiful and tactful, like the last cry of the yellow warbler. However, after listening carefully, Shen Yan'er suddenly noticed something unusual in the lyrics. Ah Zhen is no longer singing the luxury and extravagance of the capital, nor is it no longer the beauty like water and picturesque, but the sad sorrow and endless grievances......

In the past, I went back, and the willows followed. Now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling.

The way is slow, thirsty and hungry. My heart is sad, and I don't know how to mourn.

It's getting dark, why can't you go home yet?

If it weren't for the king, how could I have revealed the suffering of water......

It's getting dark, why can't you go home yet?

If it weren't for the king's drive, how would I toil in the mud......

After hearing a few words, Shen Yan'er was already in tears.

Ah Zhen gently lay on her back and rested her face on her shoulder socket. Singing and singing, Ah Zhen's voice was so choked that it was difficult to read the words clearly. Shen Yan'er's shoulder socket was soaked with her tears, and there was a faint warmth.

I think that before I first entered the mass grave, I always had an optimistic luck, but now I ended up in such a bleak end. The road is long, the darkness is endless, there is no food to eat, no water to drink, hunger and fatigue, and the brink of death is struggling. The heart has been completely desolate, who can understand this desperate grief?

It's getting dark, so why can't you go home yet? If it weren't for the king, how could we be so tormented? If it weren't for the king, how could we have to go through the hordes of dead bodies and suffer so much......

Those are the two articles "Cai Wei" and "Shi Wei" in the "Book of Songs", and Ah Zhen sang it at this time to be particularly appropriate and heartbreaking. However, Shen Yan'er suddenly realized a question: how could Ah Zhen, who had never studied, know these two poems? She couldn't help but ask, "Ah Zhen, who taught you these songs?" "Now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, the emperor's grace is mighty, and it is not surprising that singing such a song is accused of great rebellion.

Ah Zhen stopped singing and replied in a low voice: "Grandpa taught me when he was alive, but he never let me sing to others...... as if it was a return to the light, Ah Zhen, who obviously had no strength, chattered endlessly, "Miss, I died like this, without any regrets...... There is only one thing that is very unwilling, why does the emperor treat us like this...... Why do you have such a trial......"

Shen Yan'er had secretly asked herself a similar question after she knew the secret of the walking corpse, and she had also felt angry and resentful, but it was not until this moment, when the same question slowly came out of Ah Zhen's mouth and became her last unwillingness before death, Shen Yan'er's heart completely hurt.

The pace of walking becomes more sluggish, and the endless darkness brings eternal confusion. The more I kept moving forward, the more confused I became, and then I suddenly realized that even if I reached the end, I was still in a puzzle and couldn't see the truth.

What exactly did Ah Zhen die? Why did hundreds of show girls die? What is the true intent of using the walking dead for trials? It wasn't until this moment that Shen Yan'er realized that she was so desperate to know the answers to these questions.

"Ah Zhen......" Shen Yan'er replied in a choked and hoarse voice, "Although I can't answer you now, I will know the truth one day." As long as I can enter the palace, I will definitely ask the emperor why he is doing this to us...... Did he ever think about how many innocent people he would kill by what he did......"

"Hmm." Ah Zhen nodded lightly and hugged Shen Yan'er's neck that was tense because of her tears, "If you sue me in front of the grave, I will really be blinded......"

As if after saying the last words, Ah Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss, Ah Zhen can't continue to accompany you......" She is not really unwilling, and she will die without knowing the truth, but hopes that even after she dies, she can leave a belief to support Shen Yan'er to continue to live. What she is most afraid of is not death, but that death will make Shen Yan'er lose her faith in survival.

In fact, after hearing Shen Yan'er answer, "One day I will know the truth", Ah Zhen can already be blinded. The only concern was finally lifted, and Ah Zhen, whose consciousness was gradually disappearing, felt that she was about to be swallowed by the darkness.

She quietly sang the lamentation that her grandfather taught her, until her throat could no longer make a sound, until her breath could no longer come out, until her consciousness completely disappeared and her body froze completely......

"It's getting dark, why, can't you ...... Going home......"

A word is lighter than a word, and a sound is lower than a sound.

The singing finally disappeared here, and Ah Zhen's breathing stopped at the same moment. She kept her promise to Shen Yan'er and sang to the last moment of her life. Then, now it's Shen Yan'er's turn to fulfill what she promised......

Shen Yan'er stopped and gently shook Ah Zhen behind her. "Ah Zhen? Jane? She shuddered and prayed helplessly.

However, this time, Ah Zhen never responded to her again.
