Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Qinhuai Chapter 025 The Homeland is a Thousand Miles
Bai Bait became more and more convinced that Jiang Li would not be a cold-blooded person, although he had been so indifferent to the family affection in her eyes. Everything just originates from the gods, from this inhuman place, it is not like a disease, but more like a plague, which has not been cut off for generations, and those who infect it will become insensitive, like the walking dead, and lose their precious souls, but anyone who wants to heal themselves from it will be infected by others again and again, and finally die without a disease. And Jiang Li must belong to the kind of people who once wanted to heal themselves.
As for being a killer, whether he can tell the difference between right and wrong, only he knows it. She didn't have to get an answer from him, he knew it himself.
"If I were you, I would fight with my life, if I want to watch my dearest people die, this life, don't do it!" Bai Bait's tone was very firm, it was not strange that these words came out of her mouth at all, after so much, maybe she had already looked down on life and death. And what about him? He has such a good relationship with his ninth brother, if he can do it all over again, how will he choose?
When he was unconscious, in the conversation between Bai Bait and Wang Fu, Jiang Li remembered that Bai Bait had said a word, which was also in a similar tone, he remembered it very clearly, she said, if it really talks about life, other people's lives are life. She was just a woman with no combat power, and she dared to fight for her life with her life, but he knew that this was not her big words. He remembered the scene in the snowy refugee camp where she went alone to save her relatives, and the scene where she decided to find her sister again and again, risking her life. He has been punished by his mother countless times, and his group of brothers and sisters have always only lowered their heads and mocked on the side, and only his ninth brother has defended him. He suddenly realized that she and Brother Jiu belonged to the same kind of people.
It's a pity that he was only eight years old, but he didn't have the courage to fight with his life, so he could only watch the ninth brother being hacked to death by his mother. He suddenly regretted it, really regretted it. Perhaps, in the past ten years, countless lonely times, such as people drinking water, cold and warm self-knowledge, will be the best retribution.
Through Jiang Li's deep eyes, Bai Bait had already guessed the answer. It's just that there is no possibility of starting over again in this world, and the decisions that were not made at that time or dared not be made, even if there are and dare in the future, they are just flowers in the mirror, the moon in the water, and an empty talk.
"Sit up straight, and drink the medicine quickly." Bai Bait picked up the medicine bowl on the ground again, it was freezing outside, and the late night in the death row was as cold as an ice cellar.
Pulling Li back to his thoughts, he frowned, tried to prop his body up, and tried to sit up straighter, but he alarmed the wounds on his body, and the pain was like a knife.
"Shhhhh
"Are you alright?" The bowl that had just fallen into the palm of his hand was put back again, and Bai Bait didn't have time to think about it before he leaned closer, helped to hold it, and sat up straight a little bit. It's all because she was careless, forgetting that there are still injuries on her body.
Seeing the self-reproachful look on Bai Bai's face, Jiangli's eyes seemed to be steaming with a warm glow: "It's okay." ”
"Let's drink the medicine." Bai Bait picked up the bowl and gently passed the medicine spoon to his mouth.
Jiang Li lowered his head, and he found that Bai Bai's eyes were full of something that he had seen before, and it was when she broke free from his grasp again and again, and was determined to go back to her mother, that she was dissatisfied with her words, a
When the heart was going to look for her sister. He never imagined that things he could not read before would appear before his eyes again, this time, not about her sister, not about her mother.
And this time, he finally got it.
Jiang Li pursed his lips, drank the medicine little by little, and suddenly asked, "Bai Bait, why do you want to save me?" This question, from the moment she was angry and threatened Wang Fu to find medicine for her, he wanted to ask it very much. Didn't she understand that if he died, no one would ever ask her to be his bait again?
"Because you saved me. My mother said that we are all living by the tiger's mouth, and everyone is having a hard time, and we must not forget the great kindness of others, and if we have the opportunity in the future, we will definitely repay each other. Bai Bait said unhurriedly, although she once thought that she would save herself just so that she would be willing to be his bait, but then again, if he hadn't saved himself again and again, maybe she would have died a long time ago. Grace is grace, resentment is resentment. is kindness, you have to remember this great kindness as your mother said before her death. But whenever she has a breath of air, she will reciprocate.
"But I once said that I saved you only because you were a valuable person, in essence, just to make you my bait." It will be inseparable. In the first half of the sentence, he did say it, and she couldn't not remember it, as for the second half of the sentence, she was so smart, she should have expected it a long time ago.
"That's just the relationship of interest in your eyes, and what I value more is this affection. In this world, not everything can be exchanged equally on the scale. If a person treats everything for the sake of profit, then he may never understand what true happiness in this world is. White Bait replied. Although he still told the truth himself, she did not show any frustration.
From the moment he was born, there was only a relationship of interest between him and his mother, and this relationship of interest was the principle that the god taught him since he was a child, and it was also the code of conduct that he followed from childhood to adulthood, and it seemed to be engraved in his bones from birth. As for the word "affection" that Bai Bait said, it was only taught to him by Brother Jiu.
Bai Bait's words were like thunder, and for ten years, he was so numb that he didn't know what happiness was.
"Let me be your bait, it should be part of your plan," Bai Bait suddenly asked, the last time he saw him, he had always asked her to be his bait, but he never knew why he needed bait, and when she saw her again today, she always felt that this matter had something to do with his coming to Lisan, "Could it be that what happened to you today has something to do with this?" ”
Now, since the topic has turned here, he doesn't want to hide anything from her anymore, explaining: "A few days ago, the Divine General Division received a secret letter from the royal family of Lisang, and the secret letter said that within a month, the head of the Mocang Emperor will be taken. This is the purpose of my visit to Le Sang, but yesterday I met with my employer, but I was murdered, and today I fell into the hands of the wind man by mistake! ”
It turned out that the person he was going to assassinate was Emperor Mocang! No matter what Jiangli has done before, this move now is in Lissan's favor. She really didn't see the wrong person! The heart that the white bait was holding was finally relaxed.
But why did this employer do this? White Bait didn't ask any further. Since it was a secret letter or something, she shouldn't have known about it, and as for the rest, asking further would only make it difficult for Jiang Li.
"It's okay, as long as I'm here, I'll help you! I have seen all the medicines given by Wang Fu, they are all excellent and precious medicinal herbs, and there are some medicines for treating skin injuries, and when Wang Fu wakes up, I will ask him to help you wipe them
It won't take long for you to heal! Bai Bait said with a smile, then opened the package and took out the other medicines.
Jiang Li quietly watched Bai Bait's busy expression, and at that moment, he suddenly made a decision.
He knew that since she didn't mention the bait again, no matter what she thought in her heart now or in the future, he wouldn't mention it again. She was right that a killer is not a real killer if he can't even tell the difference between right and wrong. Bai Bait is a loving and righteous person, she should not die for nothing, and he should not obstruct her choice. At the beginning, he didn't have the courage to save his ninth brother, but now she is willing to risk her life to save her sister, if he obstructs it again, then what is the difference between him and his mother back then?
The god is ruthless, the employer is unjust, and he just wants to be like Brother Jiu to make a decision for himself.
Outside the skylight of the death row, a full moon rises, exuding a charming brilliance, and the faint moonlight illuminates the corner of the death row brighter and brighter, and the silhouettes of the two people gradually become clear in the darkness.
Bai Bait sat beside Jiang Li, looking up at the bright moon through the skylight, looking forward to the day when Qin Huai ushered in spring, she knew that Li Sang was not completely dead, she still had hope.
"Tell me the story of you and your ninth brother!" Bai Bait stared at the bright moon, and suddenly asked, "By the way, what's his name?" ”
"His name is Shobe." Jiang Li smiled back, and through the charming moonlight, Jiang Li found that her clear eyes tonight were as bright as stars, which were particularly moving.
Bai Bait suddenly felt very interesting, and smiled at him: "Your name is Jiang Li, his name is Jiang Li, Farewell, farewell," Bai Bait paused for a moment, his eyes suddenly faded, "Why do your names sound so sad?" ”
There are seven sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love, parting, and unwanted. Life is about gathering less and leaving more, who wants to part.
"Brother Jiu once told me that the killer, every time he travels, there are many good fortunes, and it is very likely that there will be no return, so we will call it, will leave, will part. The implication is that every trip must be prepared to part. This is what his father told him before he died. Jiang Li's tone became a little low. Perhaps even he didn't realize that he had been so sad in front of the white bait more than once.
His father, who was about to leave before he was born, died in an accident while completing an assassination mission, and he never met his father, who had named everyone long before he died. Perhaps, the only thing his father left him was this precious name.
Once, in Bai Bait's memory, her cognition of the killer was nothing but strong martial arts, cruel and cold-blooded, and unfathomable, but from today's words, she has learned a lot.
The fate of the killer is cruel, and he is destined to be a killer from birth, and he doesn't even have a chance to choose. Qin Huai has changed, she is only facing one parting, but since she was young, she will face countless partings. Nanjing Yunguo and Li Sang are far apart, how many people in the world can endure the pain of homesickness for thousands of miles?
He, the homeland is still there, but he wants to see each other in his dreams every night. She, in front of her homeland, is still in the sky.
At this time, the moonlight was beautiful, but when I thought about it, it became more and more sad.
The sad words were like petals, falling quietly in front of the two of them.
"Will leave, you know, parting is for a better reunion."
