Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 263: Ambiguous
It was their third day in the big village.
Early in the morning, Dai Luan and Xi Yu took Mo Liang to the market. When a few people woke up in the morning, the atmosphere was a little wrong, and Dai Luan saw that something was wrong, so she immediately arrested him with Xi Yu, and prepared to quietly ask outside to understand. This morning, Shanhai and Mu Wan were supposed to pick up the old man back as agreed. Mu Wan wanted to take this opportunity to ask Shanhai what happened to them in the mirage. But he was tired and in poor spirits. So she asked him to rest in the house and asked Ye Yuejun if he wanted to go. Ye Yuejun agreed, and Mu Wan felt that it was the same to ask her. Although she is not a person who can read words and feelings, the different reactions shown by the three of them from this big dream made her realize that this matter is not so simple.
To be honest, Ye Yuejun's face is not good-looking, but since she is willing to go out with her, she should say something.
Shi Wuqi and Ah Qi stayed in the house, and they wanted to continue to dry the roselle sand. Walking in the courtyard, they cooperated quite tacitly. Miss Qi first spread out the big old sheet, and Shi Wuqi sprinkled the slightly shriveled fruits one by one. He didn't spread them evenly, and Miss Qi followed beside him and quickly spread them out with her hands, completely spreading them on top.
The early morning light was soft, and the sky had not yet begun to heat up. The temperatureless sunlight shines through the trees in the distance, and the wisps fall into the courtyard. Wait a little later and the sun will shine directly into the yard. Shanhai leaned against the door, quietly looking at the two of them, his eyes full of indescribable fatigue.
"Are you sleepy?" Shi Wuqi turned his head and swept him, and continued to be busy with his hands, "Let's go to sleep, while the little ghosts are away." ”
"It's okay, not sleepy." As he spoke, he pinched the bridge of his nose, "I just feel too tired." ”
Shi Wuqi didn't ask them what they had been through. He knew that if Shanhai wanted to say it, he would say it. And Shanhai didn't know what to say, either it was inappropriate or meaningless. As for his part, to be honest, he was still immersed in the constant shock, like a gong that had been struck hard, and it was still buzzing.
Indeed, while everyone is away, this is a good opportunity. Although Shanhai didn't fully trust the identity of the banshee, he had no doubts about her words. Her words caught them off guard, and they didn't have time to think about more issues that had been overlooked.
"No abandonment, let me ask you something."
Rin Shanhai didn't want to delay. He knew that the longer he delayed, the less chance he would have to make it clear later. Many things in life are like this, if you don't explain it clearly on the spot, it will always be a stalk there, and it will stab people in the heart if you think about it inadvertently. Shanhai doesn't want to regret this. The more you don't rush to ask about this kind of thing, the less anxious the answer will appear.
"Huh? You ask. ”
"How old are you?"
Shi Wuqi's hand froze. It's not that I don't want to answer this question, but I didn't expect Shanhai to suddenly ask this. He stopped what he was doing and turned around, his eyes a little strange.
"Why do you suddenly want to ask this?"
"That's it." Shankaidao, "I remember before, something happened that you can't remember. But should the approximate age be remembered? I know you're a special person, and you think you're much older than all of us, but I don't know exactly how old you are. You can roughly estimate it, and you don't need to be too exact. ”
"You're a little me...... I'll try to think about it again. ”
Shi Wuqi rubbed his chin and dipped it in some powder. Feeling a hint of discomfort, he wiped it off with the back of his hand and continued to ponder. Even Miss Qi's movements stopped, and she stiffened there, as if she was frozen. It can be seen that Shi Wuqi's heart is also a little chaotic.
The years can't leave a mark on him, Shanhai thought secretly.
"When we see you again, you will return from hell......" Shanhai took a deep breath, his lungs were still a little blocked, "We saw you, except for the hair that grew a little, there was almost no change in appearance." It seems to us that you just disappeared for a few months, and in fact you also said that you spent a long time there. ”
"Maybe I was born that way." Wu Qi spread his hands a little helplessly, "Like an immortal or a half-demon, you can live for a long time." After all, I don't have any impression of my parents, and all I can remember is Qi. Speaking of which, you should be the same. Your mother is the six realms of impermanence, right? You don't need to practice to be like an immortal. ”
"I can't say." Shanhai didn't seem to care about this, "I'm only in my twenties, and I can't see anything yet." I think that life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. ”
"Isn't that all there is to it?" Shi Wuqi turned around and began to dry the last of some roselle sand, "What do you want to do so much." ”
Shanhai opened his mouth slightly, and swallowed the words back. He quietly watched as the two of them finished their work, washed their hands in the basin, and prepared to go back to the house. The two of them passed by Shanhai, and he turned around, still leaning against the door, looking at them. The sun shone diagonally behind him, darkening his face.
"Don't you come in? There are too many insects in the summer, so don't let them all in. Turn it off when you're done. ”
"I'm thinking about something."
"Huh? You said. ”
Miss Qi poured two cups of tea, picked up one cup and brought it to her lips, and looked up at him.
"Remember the Swamp of the Dead?"
"I remember."
"The barrier."
"Which one?"
"The one who broke the Rotten Moon Monarch."
"Ah, yes."
"Thirty years ago...... Thirty years ago, right? Fighting against a demon named Xuanyi, the demonic energy soaks into the limbs and bones of the Qi girl. In addition, there is no her name on the Ten Thousand Ghosts, and Ruyuejun said that she is about a human. The demonic energy that people are forced to accept is generally not strong enough to contaminate others, even if they get along day and night. ”
The tea in your mouth suddenly became bitter and difficult to swallow. Two unbrewed tea leaves slid into his throat, cutting Shi Wuqi and his throat hurt. He put down the water and coughed lightly twice, his tone becoming strange.
"What do you want to say?"
The color in his eyes was swirling, as if he could shed golden tears.
"Are you...... Have you ever met a person before? A man seeking death. ”
Did you save him and then kill him?
"That's too much." He put down his glass, "I can't remember who it was, but I do have these impressions." How specific are you who you say? It's just that I can't guarantee that I can remember it. ”
"A young man, probably ...... I guess he looks a little like me. You must remember, because that was more than twenty years ago, about ten years after you lost your memory. ”
"I'm ...... if you say that all of a sudden I've been alone for many years, do you know how long it has been? Wu Qi was a little uncomfortable, "Forget it, I didn't mean to talk about this. You make me think about it - a lot like you? Who is it? Your family? ”
"It's my dad." He said truthfully, "I'm not trying to pursue anything. It's just that the youkai in the mirage told me that there was such a thing, and I just wanted to make sure. I don't know if I should trust her or not. Her ideas were a bit excessive, Ye Yuejun didn't seem to think it, but Mo Liang and I felt inappropriate. Now there are some small contradictions between the two of them, and we don't even have time to think about whether these methods are feasible or not. ”
Shi Wuqi's expression softened slightly, and he began to recall it seriously. Shan Hai felt more and more that he had been in Hell for far longer than they had imagined. So Shanhai took the opportunity to tell his parents about it, hoping that he could match that story with the person in his memory. Shi Wuqi said truthfully:
"I think I can do that. I must have killed many people, but I should be impressed by the fact that I was asked to assist in suicide. What you say always gives me a sense of plausibility, as if I actually did it, and as if I heard it from someone else. If I am sure that I killed it, I will not hide it, and I am better off if I don't. But if I do do do ......"
He looked into the eyes of the mountains and seas.
"—do you still consider me a friend?"
Shan Hai hadn't answered yet, and there was a noisy voice in the courtyard. The children in the front yard are back, clutching the red, green, and green sugar in their hands. When they returned to the house, neither of them spoke of it again, but went to the door to meet them. Although Mo Liang still didn't smile, he was happier than before he went out.
"Hey, hey, hey, mountains and seas......"
"What's silly?"
Dai Luan held out her hand to him.
"When the money is spent, give me a little more."
So Shanhai took the money out of his arms. He was not ambiguous on the issue of silver taels. In order not to let his daughter be wronged, the city lord of Dailuan gave him a lot of silver tickets before leaving. As long as she doesn't spend on the house, this money is enough for ordinary people to live for a long time. Dai Luan didn't know about it, after all, she was just a child in their eyes, and they were afraid that she would spend money indiscriminately. Only the mountains and seas don't care. He knew that Ah Luan was a good boy and never extravagant.
"You're pretty generous." Wu Qi smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of spoiling the girl." ”
"How much can a child spend on candy?"
"Yes."
When he went to the market, Mo Liang told the two girls about it. He didn't want to say that he was afraid that they would worry, and he didn't want to hide anything from them. Xi Yu admitted frankly that she is a "selfish person", and if she is cursed by herself, she would rather find someone to replace her, especially sinners, which is a double win. Mo Liang knew her temperament, and she was not angry, after all, more people thought so in their hearts, but they didn't say so, but their mouths were full of benevolence and morality.
Putting benevolence, righteousness and morality on the lips, in fact, Dai Luan is also one. She also admitted that she was a "layman", she couldn't do anything, she was greedy for life and afraid of death. But that's not what Shanhai taught her. She knows exactly what is right and what is wrong; What is good and what is evil. Even if she wanted to choose the most effective solution, there was a voice deep down that would advise her not to do so. Presumably, if she is silent, after listening to the banshee's words and making a choice, she will spend the future in endless regret.
"Of course it's better to have another way."
"yes. Ye Yuejun thinks so because she is more willing to protect you. ”
"If it's Ikenashi, you don't have to do it......"
"Hey, that's because she doesn't know about it yet. When it comes to this, who knows who will do it. ”
Knowing that most people are actually very "selfish", and his honest companions also persuaded him to think more about Ye Yuejun's good for him, he was not so angry.
Actually, it's the same on Ye Yuejun's side.
