Chapter 20: Old Age
After resting in the cave for a long time, Tang Jin'er's body improved slightly.
Beitang Night led her out of the cave and into this unfathomable valley.
Looking at the cliffs on both sides, Tang Jin'er's brows furrowed, "Beitang night, I want to go up to the top of the mountain on that side." Now that there are cliffs on both sides, what should I do? ”
"Why do you have to go there?" Beitang looked at Tang Jin'er and asked with a smile.
Tang Jin'er didn't answer, and Beitang didn't ask at night. It was only after a long time that he spoke softly, "Jin'er, in fact, sometimes, the direction we identify ourselves, the place we swear to go, is just an obsession. It is precisely because I am too persistent that I miss the most important things around me. ”
Staring at Beitang Ye with burning eyes, Tang Jin'er didn't know what he meant by these words. The meaning is meaningful, but it is not very clear, and for a while, Tang Jin'er is covered with clouds.
Shaking her head slightly, Tang Jin'er looked up at the sky.
After a long time, she retracted her gaze and looked at Beitangye, "Beitangye, I feel like you are like a cloud in the sky, getting farther and farther away from me. I look at you, it seems so clear, but I can't grasp it. ”
"Jin'er ......"
Beitang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Tang Jin'er. The corners of her mouth hooked slightly, full of bitterness, "I can't read your heart, and I don't understand what you mean." I don't know if I'm going to that place is an obsession, but I stubbornly believe that you are still the original Beitang Night. Since you and I don't have the same goal, let's just separate them. ”
After speaking, Tang Jin'er didn't give Beitang Ye time to react, so he strode away to the side of the valley.
Not knowing where the road ahead led, she only knew to move forward and escape from this place quickly. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, even if it was only for a moment, she would fall into the tenderness of Beitang Night and would never be able to escape again.
However, after only a few steps, Beitang Ye rushed to catch up. Tightly guarding Tang Jin'er from behind, he seemed to want to rub her into his body with great strength.
"Beitang Night ......" Tang Jin'er's body trembled, and the voice she made continued to tremble. Choked, tears seemed to roll and slide down in the next second.
Beitang Ye didn't respond, but the panicked, strong heartbeat pierced through the clothes, allowing Tang Jin'er to hear clearly.
After a long time, Tang Jin'er turned around slightly, and saw the glittering light in Beitang's night eyes. Beitang Ye said softly, "Jin'er, I won't leave you again, and you don't want to leave me either, okay?" ”
It seems that the clouds are light and the wind is light, but Beitang is careful in his words, and Tang Jin'er can read it.
For a moment, her mind went back and forth, and after a moment she nodded slightly. "Beitang night, I will wait for you. But if it is difficult for you to walk all the way, you really don't have to force it. ”
A sentence was almost squeezed out of Tang Jin'er's teeth, if it weren't for Tang Yan'er's flowery, shy and timid face, she wouldn't have been able to say such decisive words.
Love is selfish, even if Tang Jin'er can give in and wait, she still can't share the love of Beitang Night with another woman. Besides, that woman is still a thorn in her heart, her own sister.
Beitang Ye didn't speak anymore, because the facts were already in front of him, and he had no way to give Tang Jin'er any guarantees. As Tang Jin'er said, the oath is shallow, and every oath he says now that he can't do will become a thorn in Tang Jin'er's heart, stabbing straight and bleeding, and it hurts his heart.
He couldn't bear it, but why didn't Beitang Ye know, if he didn't say it, why didn't Tang Jin'er hurt?
couldn't get a response from Beitangye, Tang Jin'er's heart sank little by little and became cold. Struggling out of Beitangye's embrace, Tang Jin'er stubbornly let the corners of her mouth hook a smile. "Beitang Night, do what you should do. I'll wait for you. ”
After speaking, she resolutely turned around and left, without a trace of hesitation.
However, although she didn't look back, Tang Jin'er could feel that Beitangye was following closely behind her. After walking for a long time, the valley became narrower and narrower, and the mountain was steep, and when she almost fell, Beitang Ye rushed up to help her.
"Tang Jin'er, I won't let go."
Without waiting for Tang Jin'er to speak, Beitang Ye came out with a sentence without a beginning. After speaking, he took Tang Jin'er's hand and walked forward cautiously step by step.
Protecting Tang Jin'er in his arms, Beitangye felt extremely down-to-earth.
Tang Jin'er pretended to look up at Beitangye's face inadvertently every time, and the warmth in her heart that kept growing and spreading was also self-evident.
The valley grew narrower and narrower, as if it had entered a ray of heaven.
There are cliffs on both sides, and only one person is allowed to pass through the guò in the middle. Looking up at the sky, I can only see a narrow line. And looking in from this line of sky, you can only see a pitch black, as if it is a cave, and as if there is no road.
Beitang took Tang Jin'er one after the other into the first line of the sky. Tang Jin'er said softly, "What is this place, why is it so dark?" ”
There was apprehension in her heart, but Beitang was by her side at night, and she didn't have too much fear. It's just that she wondered, this is not transparent, like a knife and axe, as if someone made it on purpose.
Beitang Ye shook his head slightly, "I don't know, but I seem to be able to feel some force pulling me in." ”
"Pulling you along?" Tang Jin'er murmured softly, "These seven situations are all illusions, both true and false, both mysterious and illusory, you have to be careful." As she spoke, Tang Jin'er couldn't help but tighten her hand holding Beitangye.
The strength of his slender and soft hand made Beitangye's heart tremble, and he nodded lightly and continued to move forward.
The line is long and narrow, and it has not come to an end after walking for a long time.
Beitang couldn't turn around at night, and he couldn't see Tang Jin'er, but he just held her hand, but it made his heart calm.
He walked for a long time until he reached the narrow and dark entrance of the cave. "Jin'er, we're going in. It's dark in the cave, watch your feet, you know? He whispered.
However, just a moment when Beitangye's voice fell, only an old voice was heard, "I know, Beitangye, you have to be careful." ”
In an instant, Beitangye's heart suddenly rose to his throat. He turned his head slightly, and in an instant he shook off his hand in a panic. "Who are you? What about Jin'er? ”
Beitang looked back in a panic, but there was no trace of Tang Jin'er. The woman in front of her was old, with gray hair, wrinkled face, and wearing Tang Jin'er's previous clothes, looking very weird and out of place.
However, Beitangye's cry was not answered by the woman. It was only after a long time that the stunned woman came back to her senses and let out a hoarse roar.
The exclamation shook the heavens and the earth, as if the cliffs on both sides were trembling.
"Who are you? What about the night of the North Hall? What did you do with Beitang Night? Beitang Night, Beitang Night ......" The woman exclaimed, only to hear her hoarse and old voice, and the hand that stepped forward to pinch Beitangye's neck suddenly stopped.
Looking at the wrinkles on his hands in disbelief, he shook his head again and again, tears streaming down. "How so, how so?"
