Chapter 940: Revisiting the Old Place (Part II)

(a)

As I walked along the boardwalk, I collected a large bunch of wildflowers of all kinds on the side of the road, which bloomed in a variety of colors.

I bent down in front of your wordless tombstone and respectfully presented this large bouquet of wildflowers that I had gathered along the way in front of your wordless tombstone.

I really wanted to get down on my knees and pray. However, there are many tourists around. If I did kneel, it would be very noticeable. No one had noticed us in the first place, and if I had prayed so solemnly, I thought that it would not be long before the paparazzi would have followed us, and all sorts of whimsical interpretations would soon have flooded the global network.

In order to avoid such disturbances and troubles, I restrained my wish and just bent down to offer flowers to the tombstone like a normal tourist.

Even so, it still caught the attention of some young tourists around me, who found it very romantic, applauded me and smiled at us.

They see in us the same kind of affection and affection that they have for each other.

Perhaps, they think we are an old couple who have been together for many years.

This is indeed the case, but the "oldness" of our old couple is far greater than they imagined.

In fact, all couples have a deep relationship with each other. All human relationships are not without antecedents. It's just that people haven't been able to keep our memories as clear, and that's it.

Just like when a person becomes an adult, he often has no memory of what happened before the age of 3, and can only rely on the description of relatives and friends.

Just because you can't remember doesn't mean you didn't exist.

Many people don't remember, and it doesn't mean it didn't exist.

So many people and things that have been lost in the smoke and clouds of history have long been unknown, but things still happened, and those living lives did exist as we do now.

Standing in front of this tombstone that has broken my heart several times, I say to you, "Remember that time we met on the cliff? ”

You say, "Of course, the past is as it is now." ”

I said, "At that time, you jumped up from under the cliff with this big bouquet of wildflowers in your hand. You gave me that bouquet of flowers. ”

You say, "We've come a long way since then. So long. I now remember what my ancestor said when he said goodbye to me in Qingchuan: Go here, the road is not easy to walk, you have to go well. ”

Tears welled up in my eyes again.

You say, "At that time, I expected that the road here would be full of difficulties and obstacles, but I did not expect it to be so bumpy. ”

I said, "yes." However, we have all walked through such a bumpy road. ”

I said, "Now, once again, we're on the same path." Once again, our paths have converged. ”

You say, "Yes, if you look down from the most panoramic infinite time and space, perhaps, all life has the same end." Morning and evening, it will all converge in one place. That is, what human beings perceive in their subconscious, in the experience of countless religions, that place of great light, our common homeland. ”

I said, "All life, no matter how long they wander outside, sooner or later, will come home." ”

(c)

After laying flowers on the tombstone, you propose, "Esabelle, shall we look at the lake again?" Remember the last time we looked down on the lake? After so many years, can it still show the magic of the past? ”

At that time, it was said that a couple of people who really loved each other stood in front of the lake and looked into the lake together, and they could see the end of their love.

Last time, I, as Qin'er, and you as Cui Jinglong, we were in the lake, and we saw me dying with gray hair, and you, bleeding from your back on a big rock in the middle of the river, died on the spot.

That scene is so thrilling, even after repeated life and death, it still makes me remember it vividly, and it still lingers in my dreams.

What will we see this time?

Will I still see you leave me in some terrible unexpected way?

I hesitated for a moment.

You smiled and patted me on the shoulder. You say, "We've been through everything, are we still afraid?" ”

Oh, yes. We have all come through those piercing moments, and what else is there to fear.

I plucked up my courage and nodded vigorously at you.

So, we walked towards the lake, hugged each other tightly again, and faced the blue and calm water side by side.

There are already a lot of couples there to verify this legend for themselves.

The expressions on their faces are different.

As you can imagine, the different scenes they saw evoked different resonances in their minds.

Some couples may not see anything special, but only the ordinary lake and its reflection of the jungle, snow-capped peaks and sky, as well as the faces of the man and woman themselves. This shows that they are not truly in love.

And those couples who can see special scenes, although their own endings are varied, but the death and final separation of both parties are eternal themes.

If happiness can be generated, it will definitely dissipate.

I looked at the various expressions on their faces, and I understood their hearts very well at this moment.

From childhood to adulthood, all stories are telling people that love has a happy ending, and no one has ever told everyone clearly and clearly that the final ending of love is always a tragedy of separation. It's either death or life.

I have a boundless deep compassion for all the couples who watched their ending by the lake.

(iv)

Together, we looked down at the lake.

As a result, we see the same ending as we expected a thousand years ago.

First your reflection has changed. It slowly transformed into a gray-haired old gentleman, resting peacefully on a wicker chair, his eyes closed, his expression calm, and a smile on his lips. Then it turned into a skeleton, folded its hands on its chest, and lay peacefully in a white coffin, the lid of which was sprinkled with dewy rose branches.

Then, my reflection also changed. I slowly became an old woman with gray hair, a wrinkled face, and a shriveled cheek from the loss of my teeth. Later, it also turned into a skeleton with its hands folded in front of its chest, lying calmly in a coffin as if it were sleeping.

This is the end of our lives.

You look at all these phantoms in the water, and you smile and say to me, "It seems that in this life, I will not die immediately." And there's a good chance I'll die. ”

I look at you with tears in my eyes. My apparition still looks much older than your last image.

You'll be the one who left first.

I will still be alone, in a world without you, for a long time.

This is heartbreaking, of course, but it also has its benefits.

In this way, you will not have to endure the inner sorrow of the surviving person who remains, and the longing and loneliness of the survivor.

That's good, too, and I'm glad to be able to say goodbye to you, to stay on my own, and to bear the pain of all the surviving people.

You say, "I'm not interested in this ending, belle, what about you?" ”

I said, "Me too." No matter how it ends, after all, in this life, we have met and lived together, and we have known each other for so many times. I am deeply grateful and know how to be content. This time, I was able to be at peace with all kinds of endings in the end. ”

As a result, our eyes invariably left the changing images in the water.

This time, we didn't bother with it anymore.

We walked through the images of these two skeletons, hugging each other tightly.

You bow your head, affectionately, and imprint a kiss on my lips.

I can't help but respond to you with a kiss.

This matter is what we wanted to complete as early as the day when Liu Shen of Yantang Guan gave you the peerless divine horse.

At that time, all we thought about in each other's hearts was such an affectionate kiss.

We kiss each other tightly, time freezes, space disappears, and the world becomes nothing.

As we kissed each other, the two skeletons in the lake gradually turned into a faint mist, dissipating in a slight ripple.
