Chapter 53: The Future
There were just two of them in the room right now.
One is lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, while the other is sipping tea.
Time passed slowly, and after a while, Lin Mengxi spoke.
"Now, I'm going to tell you something, it's important to you."
Lin Mengxi looked at Lin Ruo, Lin Ruo's current appearance was a little confused, and his eyes turned to the right.
"What's the matter?"
Lin Ruo's words were cold, like a cold wind blowing in this room, his heart was still thinking about everything that day, he was still thinking that if he could be as strong as Xiao Jian, he could save Xiao Jian and Chu Yiren.
But in the end, he could only watch them die, and this kind of thing happened, which made him blame himself infinitely.
"Because you helped Xiao Jian in the Chu family, the Chu family thought you were their helper, and warned me to be careful, so I'm afraid that they might do something bad to you in the future."
Lin Mengxi told Lin Ruo what the Chu family warned him that day.
As for Lin Ruo, when he acted, he didn't think about it, and he wasn't afraid that someone would come to him afterwards, but he was still a little afraid.
"It's okay, I'll die, but my sister."
Hearing Lin Ruo say this, Lin Mengxi's fingers kept tapping on the tabletop, quite rhythmic, like a musical note, but it was not boring.
Lin Ruo seemed like Lin Mengxi should have something to say, but he didn't ask directly.
He felt very strange about Lin Mengxi, with an inexplicable sense of intimacy and some resistance.
He felt that Lin Mengxi always had something hidden in his heart, but for some reason, in front of Lin Mengxi, he couldn't hide anything.
Even more often, he will feel that Lin Mengxi is himself in the mirror.
"Have you thought of a way out for your sister? How about making her safer. ”
Lin Ruo sat up, still letting the blanket wrap around his body, he still felt that his body was a little cold, relying on this blanket could make him warmer.
"I don't know, maybe I will let her follow Teacher Shulan all the time, but I don't know if Teacher Shulan will be willing."
"Really?" Lin Mengxi turned around and faced Lin Ruo, "I have a good place to go here, and I came here today to tell you one thing, do you remember the sect leader of the Light God Sect you saw in the Chu family?" ”
Lin Ruo thought of the old man who smiled at him, and his impression of that person was not too bad, "Remember, what's wrong?" ”
"Just yesterday, he came to me and told me that he wanted to take Asa Meng as an apprentice, and he thought I was a good friend of yours, so he wanted to entrust me to come and ask you."
After Lin Mengxi finished speaking, he completely handed over the next time to Lin Ruo, these things, he couldn't decide for Lin Ruo.
It happened that there was a knock on the door of the Imperial City Guard outside, he went out for a while, and when he came back in, Lin Ruo had already made a choice.
"Maybe that's all it takes."
Lin Ruo's misty eyes were still a little blurry, but they became a little clearer than just now.
His decision was well thought out.
"You've decided." Lin Mengxi asked again, this time he needed Lin Ruo to give an affirmative answer, so that he could go back to the sect leader of the Light God Sect.
"Well, she's my only sister."
Lin Ruo said categorically, this is the only chance to make his sister safe.
"Okay, I'll help you reply to him, then you have a good rest, I'll ask someone to make some pastries and put them here, after you have rested safely, just come and eat."
Although Lin Ruo sat up, it seemed that Lin Ruo's spirit had not fully recovered, and his face was still pale.
After Lin Mengxi finished speaking, he was about to go out, but as soon as his feet left the ground, Lin Ruo stopped him with a sentence from behind.
"Wait, I can ask you something."
Lin Mengxi put her feet down, but did not turn around: "Say!" ”
"Civilians can only be civilians for the rest of their lives, and can they only become disposable garbage for you people? Don't you even have the right to happiness? ”
The question had been lingering in his mind since he woke up, knowing that it was only now that he had a chance to say it.
Lin Mengxi didn't answer directly, the door was opened by him, it was noon outside, a strong light shone on his body, Lin Ruo looked over, he could only see a blur, this person became particularly dazzling now.
He paused for about two minutes before replying, "I don't want to admit it, but that's what it is." ”
"Can't you change it?" Lin Ruo didn't think about it, but asked next.
"I don't know! But I know that all the people who wanted to change are now dead. ”
……
The cruel reality made Lin Ruo live in the ice and snow without concealment, but he felt that there was still a little hope.
"If one day, you become the master of this land, will you change the environment of this land? Make all people equal. ”
"Yes."
Lin Mengxi's words were so concise.
Hearing Lin Mengxi's words, the corners of Lin Ruo's mouth slightly outlined a smile.
He didn't leave in a hurry, but stayed here for another night and returned the next day.
Qianmeng is still in Qingmei's home, Qingmei will not let Qianmeng come back these days, and Lin Ruo's mood will not recover in a few days.
She knows Lin Ruo's personality very well, Lin Ruo has a knot in her heart, that knot is a dead knot, there are all Lin Ruo's negative emotions in it, when the emotions in it burst out, it is not something that can be calmed down in a short time.
Qingmei already knew from Lin Mengxi that Lin Ruo had gone home, but when she opened the door, the house was pitch black, as dark as a black house that had not been inhabited for decades.
Lin Ruo closed all the curtains and trapped himself in the room.
"I've seen it all, from the footage." Qingmei looked at Lin Ruo like this and felt distressed, walked over and hugged Lin Ruo, and let him snuggle in her arms.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't save them, I'm so useless." In Qingmei's arms, Lin Ruo felt warmth, and this warmth made Lin Ruo unable to suppress it anymore and sobbed.
Lin Ruo constantly blamed herself, blaming herself for all her mistakes, and Qingmei just let Lin Ruo vent in her arms.
In this dark room, there were only the two of them, and Lin Ruo was crying as if he was a child.
Qingmei is three years older than Lin Ruo, and the girl is more mature than the boy, although she also cried yesterday, but at this time it has eased up.
However, Lin Ruo couldn't, when he was in front of Lin Mengxi, he could still hold on, but in Qingmei, in front of the person who was most familiar with him, he suddenly released his emotions.
"You've done your best, don't blame yourself."
"If only I had a little stronger, a little stronger, even if it was just a little bit."
"Don't blame yourself too much, they don't blame you, they still laugh when they leave."
"Uh."
"I'll let Asakmu stay at my house, I'll stay with you tonight."
"Yes."
"How happy I was before, I really want to be together all the time and protect that beautiful time."
"Everybody grows, something happens, we can't get involved, we can only live ourselves, they made their choices, and I don't think they want us to struggle too much with them."
"Yes."
Their voices slowly deepened, interdependent, hugging, crying, and then slowly falling asleep.
The night was quiet and silent.
Lin Ruo's emotions slowly calmed down.
The moon outside the window is sultry, but it can't penetrate into the house through the curtains.
