Chapter Ninety-Four: The First Floor of the World
Shen Xiaolie didn't have any creed, and no one told him whether life would usher in good or bad things. He just knew that only by living could he do what he had to do.
At this moment, Minglang was trapped by dozens of Jianghu people, and he was picked with hamstrings, and there was no way to escape. Shen Xiaolie also knew that even if Minglang survived, most of his future would be ruined.
He slowly calmed himself down. Don't look at Minglang, don't look at his bloodstained and broken body. He stared at Wang Chengyu coldly and said:
"How are you going to let him go?"
Wang Chengyu suddenly felt that Shen Xiaolie was a little strange at this moment, as if Shen Xiaolie had changed. He remembered that Shen Xiaolie had stammered even when he spoke. Moreover, Shen Xiaoliehe had looked at himself with such eyes.
But Shen Xiaolie's stupidity and scumbag in the past two years, as well as his nearly nine-year lowly posture, have made that waste image have been ingrained, Wang Chengyu only said that Minglang's status in Shen Xiaolie's heart is not low, so that this waste dares to confront himself.
"It's good to say, Ben Gongzi has always been kind, and Mingliang just made a little mistake in cognition and stood on the wrong team. But this son is magnanimous and gives you a chance. ”
As he spoke, he turned to Minglang. Wang Chengyu smiled a little strangely.
"You hindered my son's lesson to Shen Xiaohunt and bullied Shen Liuli, and my son's heart was very unhappy. But as long as you can help Ben Gongzi finish these two things, you will be Ben Gongzi's friend in the future. How is it? ”
"As long as you are willing to break the legs of the Shen family brothers and sisters, I will let you go, not only will I let you go, but it will not be difficult for you to be Ming. You must know that offending our Wang family is equivalent to offending the Yan family. ”
Wang Chengyu's eyes were full of ruthlessness and triumph.
"You should know who has the final say in the current government and the opposition. My father already believes that you want to kill me, and it is only a matter of time before you deal with the Ming family. If you choose the right master, not only will your Ming family be fine, but they will also get better and better. ”
Wang Chengyu believed that if the person who protected Shen Xiaohunt in the past became the person who bullied Shen Xiaohunt, the expression on Shen Xiaohunt's face must be very exciting, and he couldn't wait to see that scene.
Gong Yu Liuli's face turned pale with fright, she was born to be taken care of by Shen Xiaolie, and rarely dealt with outsiders. Even though the life in the general's mansion was poor and boring, he still felt kindness after all.
Strictly speaking, there seem to be only good and bad people in her world.
Just like the **** said to Minglang when he was fishing, my brother is a good person, and Brother Minglang is also a good person. The rest are all bad guys.
The little girl's world is always simple and distinct, perhaps because the people she meets are so different.
She suddenly began to understand why her brother didn't let her come to Baiyang Academy. My brother just didn't want to let himself get in touch with these people too early.
Wang Chengyu sent someone to give Minglang a knife.
Minglang held the knife and froze. He looked at the sharp blade for a long time. Eventually, he chuckled. Holding the knife, step by step, he crawled towards Shen Xiaolie.
"Today's Minglang is just a cripple, if you brothers and sisters want to have a better life, kill Minglang. In the future, you will no longer be an enemy of this child, but a friend of this childe, and no one will bully you in the whole of Kyoto. How is it? After Wang Chengyu finished speaking, he began to laugh wantonly.
After hearing Wang Chengyu's words, Minglang paused for a moment, and then continued, crawling towards Shen Xiaolie step by step.
Gong Yu Liuli was drowning her mouth, at a loss, she looked at Shen Xiaolie, and found that her brother seemed to have suddenly become different.
At this time, Shen Xiaozhen stood straight, and the breeze blew his clothes and hair, but it gave people a kind of immovable heaviness. Shen Xiaolie watched Minglang crawl over step by step.
He's gone. Unlike his own scrap, Minglang is really scrapped.
is different from his sister Gongyi Liuli, Shen Xiaolie already knew Mingliang's choice from the time he heard Wang Chengyu's words. He wanted to laugh. But I couldn't laugh.
Once upon a time, he was like a child, drilling through the tip of the horns.
He thought that he was the worst person in the world, how unfair fate was, and how cold people's hearts were.
I thought that maybe I didn't deserve to meet the goodwill of the so-called world at all.
Maybe my own existence is a mistake, otherwise why does the whole world want to turn into waste? Otherwise, why do these people always have to insult themselves?
But at this moment, when he watched Minglang climb towards himself step by step, with a posture that was even worse than his usual life, he suddenly realized that this was not the case, and there were good things in life.
It turns out that there will be people who will choose to be the enemy of the so-called sanity and intelligence for the sake of themselves who are wasted or disgusted in the eyes of everyone.
He wanted to laugh, but there were tears in his eyes.
When Minglang climbed to his feet, Minglang raised his head and squeezed out the brightest smile on weekdays.
"Scholar, no matter what happens in the future, you have to promise one thing for your brother."
Shen Xiaolie squatted down and helped Minglang up, this person who protected himself in the past couldn't even stand up now. Shen Xiaolie nodded vigorously and said, "You say, I will definitely do it." ”
"No matter what kind of crime the Ming family is wronged in the future, you have to help wash away the grievances of the Ming family. I believe in you, and you can do it. "Mingming's breath was a little anxious. He was covered in wounds.
Then he wanted to hand over the knife in his hand to Shen Xiaolie. At that moment, the public lost Liuli finally understood Mingliang's choice. She kept shaking her head, her eyes full of fear.
"Kill me!" Ming's tone was flat
Shen Xiaolie looked at the knife and looked at himself reflected on the blade. He has been enduring it all these years, he has endured it for so long, and he has hidden it from everyone, in order to let himself bear those pains without implicating those who he cares about.
"I ...... this matter It can't be done. Shen Xiaolie suddenly picked up Minglang.
"Brother, it's not about killing each other."
Shen Xiaolie knew that he couldn't leave at all, but he still wanted to leave here, but in an instant, there were people in front of him and behind him.
"Okay, you're bright, hehe, you're Shen Xiaolie. Your friendship really touched my son. It's a pity that even though my son won't kill you Shen Xiaolie today, Minglang must die. ”
Although Wang Chengyu was laughing, the cruelty in his eyes was even stronger.
"Kill Minglang, and then beat the brother and sister severely. Don't die. ”
Minglang in the crowd held the knife, and the public lost Liuli grabbed the corner of Shen Xiaolie's clothes, and Shen Xiaolie lowered his head.
"Are you scared?" Shen Xiaolie said softly.
"Don't be afraid." There was a hint of crying in the little girl's voice.
"Ruri, you have to remember today, remember the faces of these people. After you get back what belongs to you, you have to kill them all. ”
It's like many years ago, Gongyu Ruri listened to his brother calling his name, telling himself what to remember and what not to forget.
At this moment, she suddenly had courage.
She nodded vigorously.
"Minglang, do you regret it?" Shen Xiaolie suddenly asked.
"Excuse me."
"It's good if you don't regret it, because it's important to me."
Shen Xiaolie carried Minglang on his back and began to walk towards the crowd step by step.
In the next moment, countless attacks fell on him, Minglang and Gong Ruri.
Shen Xiaolie didn't remember how long he had been beaten that day. He just tried to stay awake. Don't let yourself faint because of the pain, because he doesn't want to wake up and see his best friend die in front of him, because he also knows that Ming Liang still has something to say to himself.
He listened to Mingming's muffled hum, listened to Gong Liuli's cry, and listened to Wang Chengyu's disgusting laughter. Think about your patience over the years. The hidden ruthlessness in the cloudy eyes became more and more obvious.
……
After a long time, the sky took on a dark blue.
In the remote and empty Beiyou forest, there are only three people: Shen Xiaolie, Minglang and Gongyi Liuli. Shen Xiaolie carried Minglang under a big tree and let Minglang sit on the trunk.
He and Gong Ruli were covered in blood, and the little girl's ears were still roaring with dizziness. Shen Xiaolie was the same, he even had an extremely hard time walking.
Minglang was naturally the worst, he was already dying and seriously injured. In fact, it didn't take long for the group of bandits to think that Ming Lang had been beaten to death.
But Shen Xiaolie knew that Minglang, a person who did not cater to and did not submit, would not die like this. Night was approaching, and he knew there was not much time to shine.
Minglang slowly opened his eyes and used all his strength.
He looked at Shen Xiaolie, thinking about everything in the past year.
"Book...... Life, life, sometimes ...... It's really weird. I'm ...... Not a, not a ...... Fools who don't understand the pros and cons. ”
Minglang gasped for breath with a tired smile on his face.
"Actually, I've been thinking about it all the time...... What is the meaning of my life? ”
"It's just for the sake of being in this world...... Do you want to settle down? ”
"Or ...... In order to revitalize ...... What about the Ming family? Minglang muttered to himself. Gongyu Liuli knew that this might be Brother Minglang's last words, and she listened quietly with tears in her eyes.
"Actually, it's neither, I've been confused, heh, how can I ...... With one that looks like it's scrapped...... What about a man who is already the son of a rebel and becomes a brother? ”
Minglang smiled, and the sparkle in his eyes slowly faded.
"Maybe it's fate, but I really ...... I'm glad to be there, scholar, I don't regret the choice I made. If that day's events happen again, I'm still ...... There is no way to convince yourself to sit on the sidelines. ”
Shen Xiaolie was right in front of Ming Lang, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end. He thought that he had already experienced death, and that he would not be as uncomfortable as before.
But that's not the case.
"In the future you ...... will definitely become the most relied on person in the army...... Scholars, the Ming family is ...... Please. Maybe...... You will also save the country in the future. ”
"Because I believe, scholar, that you are the one with that kind of talent. As long as you think of this, it seems that you are dead for you...... It's not too uncomfortable......"
In the darkness, Shen Xiaolie lowered his head, and his eyes were already misty.
Finally, Minglang looked at the little girl who had been crying.
"Liuli, in the future, you must ...... Listen to your brother, and your brother's illness will be cured. Minglang breathed hard the air that seemed to be unable to breathe enough, and his bright eyes began to slowly become dim.
Gong Ruri's face was full of tears, and he kept nodding.
"You have a very good brother, he is obviously the hardest bone in the world, but he has been crying for you all these years, but this guy has a hard mouth and won't say this to you. You have to grow up faster and protect your ...... Brother. ”
Gong Ruri only felt his heart beat violently.
She's not stupid, even if she doesn't understand many things, she can understand them immediately with a little click.
So it was. After Minglang said this, she suddenly understood.
My brother has never been sick.
He just let himself implement the word forbearance even more ruthlessly.
He is not a person who cries and cries easily, and his heart has always been unyielding and arrogant.
My brother will always be the brother who seems to be able to despise everything.
It's just that when he was in the academy, in order to make that group of people have more desire to bully him, and to make everyone think that his brother has been abolished, his brother will be so cowardly.
Because of this, people will bully their brothers, not themselves.
She remembered that sentence.
"Ruri, remember, we have to live with a proud heart, and then do all the things that the enemy thinks are low. So that we can stay alive and find a chance for revenge. ”
At the time, she didn't understand, but now she understands the meaning of this sentence.
She suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and that intense remorse occupied all consciousness for a moment. She thought she could protect her brother, but she didn't know that she had been protected by her brother all these years.
Tears flowed even more.
"In the future, I won't be able to protect you...... But you must try to live."
"Scholar...... Someday...... You're bound to come across another ...... will take you ...... When you are a brother, you must try to live until that person ......"
The bright eyes lost the last trace of brilliance, and at the last moment, he wanted to press his hand on Shen Xiaolie's body and make a final entrustment, like a brother entrusting his younger brother, but the passage of life did not let him finish this action, and his body leaned heavily on Shen Xiaolie's body.
Shen Xiaolie stayed in place, and the expression on his face had never been seen before.
It was as if his eyes had become a barren and dead place, and the mountains, rivers, trees, flowers and plants that dotted the whole world were dying one by one, slowly turning into a white blank, like a piece of stationery whose handwriting had been wiped out, and the traces were obvious but impossible to find.
He opened his mouth and seemed to have something to say, but in the end he didn't.
His chest seemed to be hit by some kind of turbulent tide again and again, and those emotions were like a fierce beast in a cage, which kept hitting Shen Xiaolie's reason.
A painful whimper came from his throat, the notes trembling like his shattered consciousness. The knuckles are a little whitish because they are too hard.
Gongyi Liuli looked at his brother's appearance, and suddenly became a little scared.
She hugged Shen Xiaolie and cried softly. She wanted to comfort her brother, but the man who died was Minglang, and when she realized it, she couldn't calm down.
Shen Xiaolie didn't move, he just kept asking himself. He questioned himself over and over again.
Why is this happening? Why didn't Wang Chengyu and them die, but Minglang?
Obviously he has survived to such a point, he has given up his dignity, he has made everyone believe that he is a waste, and he has made everyone believe that he has nothing to lose.
But it's all like this, why is Ming Lang still dead.
After all, what unforgivable thing did Ming Lang do? When Shen Xiaolie asked himself like this, he felt the injustice and malice of this world from head to toe.
From beginning to end, Minglang only did one thing, which was to protect himself.
It's ridiculous.
He wanted to mock two sentences, and he wanted to say disdainfully, who wants you to protect, who wants you to protect!
But the man was dead, and he could no longer hear any of his own cries. He was quiet, and he could no longer respond to Shen Xiaolie's questioning.
Shen Xiaolie once thought that Minglang was a good thing that he and Liuli would wait for when they were alive.
Only, he died. What he thought was a gift from fate suddenly became a most painful wound.
When Shen Xiaolie thought of this, he finally couldn't hold back anymore, and began to cry like a breakdown. His hand hit the ground frantically, and his originally white palm was soon covered with wounds and blood, as if he had no pain.
The entire Beiyou Forest echoed with Shen Xiaolie's heart-rending cry.
(This chapter, limited to my pen, may not be able to express the sadness, but when I first constructed the character of Minglang, I actually hesitated for a long time, because I really don't like cute characters to die.) But fortunately, the scholar will wait for a shopkeeper who will not die in the future. Of course, the back is the counterattack of the scholar, and I can't continue to wronged my lovely scholar. )
