Chapter 20: Black and White
The isolated island on the river, covered with snow, the lonely pavilion is desolate, and the snow on the top has collapsed half of the pavilion, and here sits a man dressed in red...... He didn't have arms.
Behind him, a man in white came to meet the snow and slowly stopped behind him.
"Why does Childe stay in such a dilapidated place?" The man in white accosted.
"Someone asked me to come, wait for a war." The man in red lowered his head slightly, and his tone was indifferent.
"On the Lanqi Tianjiang River, I have never heard of war."
"People in high positions have already planned everything, let's just wait for it to happen."
It seemed to be snowing around me, and the snow was getting thicker and thicker, and a wall of snow slowly accumulated between me and them, and I began to push the snow away in a panic, and for some reason, I wanted to look at the man in red again......
At this time, the cold wind hit, I was blown to the ground by the wind, the snow began to fall to me endlessly, my ears were a steady stream of ice shattering sounds, I began to breathe, my arms stretched out, constantly blowing the snow away, in the gap of the snow, I saw the man in red naked, he had a pair of beautiful blood-colored wings were broken by the man in white, blood feathers were all over the sky, and a piece flew down my palm, I desperately tried to break free from the snow that trapped me, only to find that I was in a tornado surrounded by a blizzard, and I couldn't get out at all.......
I saw the lost eyes of the man in red, and the sound of the wind in my ears suddenly disappeared...... But I saw two long cracks in the back of the man in red, and the blood was pouring ....... Soaking through the snow beneath him, the man in white skillfully stitched up his wounds, his hands covered in blood...... The man in red, who had lost his arms, had grown arms, and there were traces of blood feathers on his snow-like skin....... I don't know where I am, I want to make a sound, but my throat seems to be blocked, I seem to become transparent, they can't see me......
"Such slender and powerful fingers are very suitable for playing the piano...... "The man in white tore the silk thread and clothed him.
The man in red raised his hand and stopped in front of his eyes, and moved his fingers gently, his slender and bony hands were indeed very suitable for playing the piano: "It has nothing to do with you......"
The man in white sighed softly and said, "I see that your sleeves are hollow, it's really pitiful, and I know some medical skills, so I'm kind enough to help you, but your wings are gone, and you can't fly far......"
The man in red was silent for a moment and said, "It has nothing to do with you. ”
"I helped you, and you're just going to say something that has nothing to do with you?"
The man in red slowly stood up, turned his back on the dry pavilion, and brushed his sleeves away...... The vast snow can't hide that little bit of red.
At this time, my face was wrapped in a little warmth, I slowly opened my eyes, and Dongfang Congzheng gently wiped the sweat from my face for me......
"It seems that I didn't sleep well." He said as he sat down next to me with a smile.
I didn't sit up for a moment when my body stiffened slightly, I lay on the floor, looked into his eyes, thought for a moment and said: "In that dry pavilion, the person who broke the wings of the man in red and stitched up the wounds of the man in red is like you......"
He looked normal, not in the slightest bit unusual because of my words, he put the warm towel aside, slowly leaned in front of me and said, "Get up, have breakfast." ”
He picked me up from the bed and walked slowly towards the back door of the palace, and I opened my hands to see a bloody feather in my right palm...... I was amazed...... I asked him nervously and confusedly, "Is the dream real?" ”
He just smiled and didn't answer.
"Who's that man in red?"
He still didn't answer...... He carried me out of the palace, walked across the long covered bridge, and came to a small pavilion, the white veil was ethereal, and there were hot meals on the stone table, and the three maidservants were served, and he put me on the stone bench, and he sat down next to me naturally. He smiled and asked me, "Aren't you hungry?" ”
I held the blood feather in front of him and asked pleadingly, "Who is he...... I always felt that he often appeared in my dreams..... But I woke up and couldn't remember what he looked like. But for some reason, I was expecting a little from him...... I feel sad to think that he is hurt, and it makes me sad to think that he is related to someone else...... I want to know who he is, can you tell me? ”
He just smiled and put the blood feather back in my palm: "I've been preparing all morning, let's eat something." I'll tell you who he is. But can you give us some time, our own time? ”
I was a little sad to hear him say that, and I didn't know why...... I felt uncomfortable in my heart, and cast feelings of pity and debt to him......
"Why didn't the master eat her, just treat her as if she paid off the debt!" A handmaiden seems to be unhappy for the East......
I looked at him secretly, he just kept putting vegetables into my bowl, smiling as always: "If she owes me, she can still remember my goodness, if she lets her pay me back, she will only hate me." ”
"I owe you...... How much? ”
He put down his chopsticks, looked at me with a smile, and raised his hand to pin the broken hair on my forehead behind my ear: "It's better to forget it......"
I slowly raised my finger and pointed to my head, my heart was sour, and tears welled up in my eyes: "How many things have been lost here...... Who the hell am I! ”
At this time, the three handmaidens suddenly disappeared......
He leaned over and hugged me tightly, whispering in my ear, "Kill Bai Yu, the truth will be revealed...... Only when she dies will the Inheritance Charm on you disappear and you will remember who you are......" He put the dagger in my hand......
Dongfang has always been human, and he is mysterious and unpredictable, not at all like a human ......
"You're not the East, are you?" I asked him.
He just hugged me, touched my head, and whispered to me, "Don't talk nonsense. ”
"What are you planning? If you are not a human race, why do you live in the Northern Chu royal family? And why are they involved in their power struggle? I asked.
"I have my last resort."
I straightened up and looked at him, he was dressed in white, his face was handsome, like spring and snow, I hesitated a little and asked him, "You are clean, right?" ”
His smile froze for a moment, and then I saw it...... He smiled and said to me: "Since the creation of yin and yang, black and white have never been distinct......
He didn't answer me explicitly, but I already knew the answer he gave, I was in a pool of filth and blood, and when I saw something clean, I wanted to walk around, for fear of soiling it, and I had a surprisingly protective desire for clean things...... I believe that there are two poles in the world, and one is the other...... The more clean stuff, the less filthy it will be......
"Let's have a bite to eat. While the food is still hot......" he said to me, smiling.
I grabbed my chopsticks and lowered my head to eat, I hadn't eaten anything hot in a long time, and in the past twenty years, I had drunk blood and eaten raw meat, and gnawed on white bones without a trace of sinew...... Because I didn't fight the green wolves in the cage that time, and I didn't defeat the other dead soldiers......
He just smiled at me gobbling up, and I suddenly remembered for a moment...... I can also wear clean clothes, I can also eat while sitting, I can also eat with chopsticks, I can eat with a bowl, I can also ...... Dignified ......
"I'm not bad at cooking, am I?" He asked.
My mouth was full of food, so I took a sip of water and replied with a smile: "This is still the best thing in the world." ”
"You said the same thing."
I don't have any memories other than white jade, but I am very happy that he can say this, which means that I also have a clean and reminiscent past, I also have an old friend, and he is in front of me, my past is related to him, and I am not alone.
