Chapter 26: Memories (II)

The bleak evening breeze brought a biting chill, causing the sleeping teenager to shrink into a ball, and his consciousness gradually became clear.

"It's so uncomfortable..."

The feeling of dizziness made the sword shadow who sat up on his knees couldn't help but drag his forehead with his hand, and then cover his mouth, this is a stubborn disease that he can not control, whenever he has a feeling of dizziness, there is a certain probability of stinging pain in the stomach, and then he will vomit an indefinite amount of blood, but this time his luck seems to be good, under a heavy and long snort and exhalation, he rarely controlled the tumbling and throbbing stomach.

"Hey, it hurts..."

After inhaling a large amount of oxygen through his mouth and nose, he grinned at the tingling pain in his fingers, looked at the mud sunk deep in his fingernails, and hurried to the lake to wash.

"Strange, how could I be here... In retrospect, this is not the first time, do I have nocturnal wandering syndrome?"

After roughly cleaning up, Jian Ying couldn't help muttering to himself, although he felt inexplicable, he still took a shortcut and quickly ran home.

Creeping to the front of the room, the sword shadow gently pushed open his door, and then feigned a cat to counteract the "squeak" sound of the door closing.

Pushing open the window to usher in the moonlight, raising his feet and looking down at his dusty shoes due to the muddy road, although Jian Ying wanted to tidy up as soon as possible, he was not afraid of sleepiness, so he had to hurriedly take off his clothes and quietly get into his own bed.

Soon, a slight snoring was heard......

In the early morning, the rain and dew on the leaves of the trees slide down and hit the wooden planks impartially, making a crisp "pop" sound, and then wisps of green smoke rise from the chimney, bringing an enticing fragrance.

After leaving the stove, she pushed open the door of the sword shadow, sat quietly on the edge of the bed, looked at the smooth little face with a smile in her sleep, and couldn't help but gently stroke it with her hand, revealing a touching smile.

I don't know if I'm awake or not, Jian Ying bowed, kicked off the quilt, and rubbed his little face back and forth against Mingzi's palm.

Looking at the child's sleeping position, she couldn't help but shake her head, put the quilt back on the sword shadow, and left the house after kissing his forehead, but she didn't notice the sword shadow in her sleep, and actually shed a line of tears...

"Azusa, hasn't he woken up yet?"

"Not yet, but he's so cute, alas..."

Faced with the Stygian who went from joy to loss, Styx said, "Don't worry about this anymore, aren't we making a decision?"

For the words of the dark night, the dark azusa just smiled reluctantly and said, "Well, maybe..."

The sun was shining, and the dazzling light pierced through the wooden window, reflecting on the half-asleep sword shadow, and after rolling on the bed for a while, he scratched his head and began to dress reluctantly.

"The shoes are so dirty, hey..."

After washing, looking at the shoes full of dirt, Jian Ying couldn't help but sigh, but still found a branch and scraped the already dry dirt vigorously.

It took a lot of effort to scrape the dirt roughly, and I was just about to clean the house, but my stomach was screaming angrily.

"Uh, hungry..."

Kicking away the dirt that had fallen on the ground, the sword shadow trotted into the hall.

"Mother, I'm so hungry. ”

Looking at the woman who was eroded by the oil smoke, Jian Ying shouted.

"It's rare that you can sleep so long, forget it, let's eat breakfast and lunch together. ”

As she spoke, she placed plates of food on the round table.

Looking at his gentle mother, Jian Ying only felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't find any reason, and he didn't speak, just dodging the eyes of the underworld.

"Eat, your dad may not be back in a while. ”

"Oh..."

From time to time, I pull the food, but I feel bored.

"After eating, my mother will take you to play, do you see it?"

Facing the sword shadow that bowed his head and was silent, Shenzi said softly.

"Click..."The chopsticks suddenly broke in two for some reason, and the sword shadow stopped moving, still not looking up, like a stiff corpse.

"Oh, use the mother's right. ”

Although it was strange why the chopsticks were so undurable, Stygian quickly handed her to Sword Shadow.

"Why, mother, what am I to you..."

Hearing this, Mingzi looked a little inexplicable, and couldn't help asking, "Uh, what are you doing? If you don't take it again, your mother's hand will be sore." ”

"Bang!"

Suddenly, Sword Shadow slapped the table and said fiercely, "Tell me, tell me what it means to you!"

At this time, the sword shadow's body was shrouded in an unknown black aura, and there was no trace of blood on that miserable white face!

The abnormal performance of the sword shadow shocked Mingzi, and in the face of the child in front of her, who seemed to be suffering a lot, there was only one word left in her heart: "escape".

The moment she got up, Shen Zi was grabbed by a Sen Ran bone claw that came out of nowhere, no matter how hard she struggled, it was difficult to get rid of it, and the strange flames attached to the white bones spread to her arms in an instant!

"Why, am I dispensable to you? Mother, I'm so sad, help me..."

Sword Shadow's twisted face kept changing expressions, as if he was being controlled by something strange.

The gray flames kept devouring the aura in the body of the underworld, and when she calmed down and saw the child with a painful face, she did not first purify the flames that spread to herself, but condensed the remaining part of the aura in her palm, and tried her best to dispel the black aura that shrouded the sword shadow.

Unexpectedly, her action actually had the opposite effect, and in the process of repeated beating, the originally thin black aura gradually became richer, so that in the end, it was also transformed into a gray flame!

"Raise me as a victim...... Mother, you go quickly, leave me alone, after a while, it won't hurt after a while..."

Hearing this, knowing that Sword Shadow was still worried about himself even at this moment, Styx couldn't help but cry.

"If that eases your pain, then..."

He took a step forward and threw himself at the sword shadow who was wrapped in flames, and at the same time hugged him tightly, the great pain caused by burning his internal organs did not eliminate the willful warm smile on his face.

Feeling the same feelings as him, experiencing the same pain as him, the dull pain from his internal organs, it seems that it is not so unbearable...

Tightening his embrace, Styx whispered softly in Sword Shadow's ear, as if he would tell him a fable every night before going to bed.

In this way, the gray flames that seemed to never be extinguished gradually began to fade, and the distorted and mentally disordered sword shadow had returned to normal.

When he saw the dying Mingzi lying on the ground, he hurriedly threw himself into the latter's arms and cried, "Mother, I don't know, it's not me, I don't know..."

Gently caressing his face, there was still that signature gentle smile on his face.

"It's not your fault, in fact, it's all my fault, if you can be firmer, if you have less desire, if you can tell you earlier..."

"Actually, my mother is already very satisfied, in the years since the end of the war, I think I am happier than anyone else, silly boy, don't cry, if the boy sheds tears so easily, he will be laughed at by the girl. ”

"It's not true, exactly, why the hell is this..."

Reluctantly using his strength to support his body, Mingzi held the sword shadow in his arms with one hand, and comforted him softly, "Don't be sad, don't hesitate, promise my mother, I want to live well, no matter what happens in the future, I must follow my heart to move forward, because in this way, I won't regret it..."

"Ahem, maybe, maybe there will be many difficulties and obstacles in the future, but as long as the heart remains the same, the road will still be smooth, I, I am willing to turn into a breeze in this world, snuggle up to you forever, witness your growth..."

Parting her arms, looking at the sword shadow with self-blame and remorse in her eyes, she couldn't help coughing up a mouthful of blood when she felt the tightness in her chest, and then wiped the blood away, she used her white lips to gently kiss the young man's forehead.

A simple kiss made Jian Ying stunned, and he wanted to say something, but found that the person closest to him who had kissed his forehead a second ago had disappeared......

"Don't, don't... Don't!"

The strong contrast made the emotionally uncontrollable sword shadow desperately look up to the sky and roar, but it was difficult to get back to the previous second, but at this moment, a breeze quietly hit, and this seemingly weak breeze actually blew the pair of intact chopsticks on the ground......
