Chapter 4: Serial Deaths in Rosetown (4)
After some time, the ensemble of the mayor's family stopped, and all three of them had warm smiles on their faces, and Jenny even waved the harmonica and shouted happily.
However, when they turned their gaze to Dong Wusheng, the smiles on the faces of the three disappeared, and they saw the girl with long black hair stunned in place, her face already full of tears.
The young man with short flaxen hair stood by and looked at her helplessly, his hand hovering in the air, as if hesitating to wipe away her tears.
Dong Wusheng didn't notice all this, she seemed to be still immersed in her own world, crying to herself.
The mayor's wife patted the young man on the shoulder, looking concerned, "What's wrong with her?"
"I ...... I don't know. β
Looking at Dong Wusheng, who was crying, the young man realized that he didn't know anything about this girl he had guarded for more than three hundred years.
He still remembered the Dong Wusheng he had just met more than 300 years ago, she was always smiling, but her smile was always full of sadness.
She was already like this long before she met him.
Looking back like this, the young man realized that he didn't really spend much time with Dong Wusheng, except for the more than 300 years he guarded alone in the middle, and then removed the short dream-like day after Dong Wusheng woke up, he and Dong Wusheng had known each other for more than three months, a full hundred and three days.
In these one hundred and three days, she walked half the continent with him with a smile and a smile full of loneliness and sadness. From the easternmost part of the continent, we walked all the way to this remote town located in the northwest of the continent.
Since coming to Rose Town, she has been praising the sunset in Rose Town, saying that it is the grandest and gentlest sunset she has ever seen.
She watched the sunset for a whole week, and then, on the seventh day, after the last rays of the sun had sunset on the horizon, in the dim sky, she smiled and said to himβ"I may have to sleep for a while, and if you feel lonely, you don't have to accompany me, and go to this world for a trip, no matter how hard and tired it is, it is better than spending endless time alone." β
After saying that, she slowly drifted into the flickering light dust in the sky, merged into the magic circle under her feet, and disappeared.
He sat where she had disappeared, looked at the stars all night, and never saw what was so beautiful about these glowing dots and the so-called sunset, and then decided to stay here and wait for her to wake up.
This is three hundred years.
He waited for her for three hundred years, but knew nothing about her, so that when she wept, he didn't know if he was the one who should wipe her tears.
He could only ask, like these people who had only known her for less than half a day, "What's wrong with you?"
The young man's voice pulled Dong Wusheng's thoughts back, she came back to her senses, felt that her face was wet, and quickly wiped the back of her hand a few times, and coughed a few times with a red face, "No, nothing, maybe this song is so good, I'm so moved, it's almost exactly the same as the latter part of the song in my memory, how did you do it? It's too powerful, right?"
How could this be the reason? I must have remembered what happened before I met him.
Looking at Dong Wusheng's face, the young man thought so, but he still conveyed the original words to the mayor's family. The longer you know, the more you know, the fairest it is, the boy thought earnestly.
Listening to Dong Wusheng's words, smiles bloomed on the faces of the mayor's family again. Looking at the same smiles on the faces of the three of them, Dong Wusheng also smiled, she asked the boy to convey it for her, she remembered the last part of the song, but it may not be so beautiful, I don't know if everyone wants to listen to it.
The three of them directly expressed their willingness with their actions - sat down peacefully on the sofa and made a gesture of listening to their ears.
The young man moved a chair and sat down not far behind Dong Wusheng.
The last part of the music is very peaceful and warm at first, like the white foam floating on the clear soup, the tea leaves floating in the tea cup, full of the smell of fireworks in the world, as if the traveler has entered the life of the townspeople, and finally has someone as a companion, no longer drifting, however, when this daily warmth slowly warms up, suddenly a piercing low sound cuts off all tenderness.
After the whisper, there was no other music for about a few seconds, only the bass string that trembled for a long time, and kept wailing.
The teenager who knew the least about music among the four even stood up, thinking that something was wrong with the playing.
Before he could step forward, the last part of the piece began.
One after another low notes sighed softly in the air, forests, canyons, deep seas, caves, the deep delicacy of everything once made her feel magnificent, made her sigh at the creation of nature, but at this time, it seemed that there was only endless bleakness, making people feel lonely. This kind of loneliness has obviously been there before, and she has never been far away in this life, but at this moment, it is like a monstrous fire, scorching her heart little by little. Sometimes she can't help but wonder if everything in front of her is just an illusory dream, whether the bright red in her chest is really still beating, and whether she will ...... He was already dead, or he had never lived.
The sighs became more and more ethereal, and finally it was like a wisp of light smoke, and as soon as the wind blew, it dispersed.
There was silence in the room for a while, the mayor's family did not speak, Dong Wusheng also looked at his right hand thoughtfully, the air seemed to be still immersed in the afterglow of Fang Cai's music, and no one made a sound to break the silence.
After about a few seconds, the boy walked up to Dong Wusheng's side and asked her what she was thinking.
Dong Wusheng looked up, and as soon as he saw him, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face, "When I played just now, my right hand seemed to be able to move freely, and this silver chain seemed to have life, as if I could feel my mood, so I was thinking about what this thing was, and it didn't seem to be a bad thing as I originally thought." β
The boy was silent for a moment, rarely with no expression on his face, "I won't let it hurt you." β
"Oh, really?"
After remembering the complete song, Dong Wusheng seemed to be in a good mood, and when he heard the young man's words, he immediately looked at him with interest, "Anyway, I'm really a little curious, did we get along like this before? Is it me or someone of mine who asks you to protect me?"
When he said this, Dong Wusheng's eyes narrowed, the apricot eyes hanging from the tail of his eyes were bent into a beautiful crescent, and the fiery red pupils were like spring water reflecting the setting sun.
The boy stared at her for a moment, then slowly smiled, "No one asked me to do this, I wanted to protect you." β
Dong Wusheng lowered his head, his fingers plucked the strings casually, and his tone was calm: "Why?
The young man had a confused look on his face, "What is a couple?"
Dong Wusheng glanced at him in surprise, "You don't even know what a couple is, what have you been doing for more than three hundred years?"
The young man replied without hesitation, "Guarding you." β
β...... Cough. β
Dong Wusheng clenched his fists and cleared his throat, and his eyes drifted out of the window for a while, "Eh, this...... What's your name?"
"Spots. β
The boy quickly spat out a word, thought for a moment, and added, "My name is Madara." β
"That's good...... Well, Madara, listen to me......"
Dong Wusheng took a deep breath, put down his hand, and looked at the young man with a very serious gaze, so that the young man couldn't help but smile and became solemn.
"You say. β
"In the future, unless you like this girl and love this girl, don't say anything that is easy to misunderstand when you want to protect you. β
After hearing this, the young man looked confused, "How do you like or love this girl?"
"Hmm......" Dong Wusheng muttered for a while, "For example, you want to live with this girl for the rest of your life, and then, and then you will be very happy to see her, and if you can't see her, you will want to go to her......"
Dong Wusheng paused.
Well...... Actually, it's not very comprehensive, and it's really a bit difficult to explain.
Dong Wusheng searched his intestines and organized the language.
In fact, the best explanation she could think of was that she wanted to sleep with this girl for the rest of her life, but it seemed a bit explicit to say that, looking at the young man's pure and immaculate eyes, she really couldn't say it.
"Do you like that?"
Looking at the innocent look on the young man's face, the woman's intuition told Dong Wusheng that he had to stop it immediately-"No......"
"Then I like you. "βIt's a pity it's too late.
Dong Wusheng's face turned red as soon as he "Teng", and even his ears and neck were red all over.
"You ......"
Dong Wusheng breathed hard, trying to calm down.
But that sentence, as well as the expression, tone, and voice of the young man when he spoke, all kept circling in her mind.
She tried hard to get all the thoughts out of her mind, but her heart pounded uncontrollably.
In addition, Madara asked her worriedly, "What's wrong with you, why are you so red?"
A picture that doesn't understand what's going on at all.
Dong Wusheng suddenly pursed his lips, his eyes were round, and he glared at the young man, "Are you stupid? Don't interject before I finish speaking! Do you know what liking is, you just talk nonsense?"
"I ......"
Madara didn't expect Dong Wusheng to suddenly get angry, and he wanted to explain something, but he was pushed by Dong Wusheng, and he could only watch Dong Wusheng run out.
The three mayors on the side were confused, they were still waiting for the young man and Dong Wusheng to finish speaking, so that they could translate for them, but the two of them had a good chat, and Dong Wusheng looked like he was in a good mood, why did he suddenly turn his face.
