Chapter 22: Red Makeup in the World (10)
The next morning, when the summer curtain woke up again, he was able to get out of bed and move around freely.
Both of them didn't say anything about last night, and the places where they were scratched by the ghouls had been medicated, but the skin was wounded, and there was nothing serious. The physical damage caused by the excessive use of spiritual power has also recovered a little in a night's sleep. Although it was not delicious again, it was also a breakfast carefully prepared by Zhao Tianyang, and Xia Mu's mood had slowly calmed down.
After breakfast, the woman sat alone under the eaves of the small bamboo house, looking at a rippling lake in the distance.
Zhao Tianyang didn't speak, but just stood behind her not far away, and the two of them until dusk and sunset......
"Zhao Tianyang." For these two people, who have always been more noisy than the other, and one more able to speak, today is really surprisingly quiet. Seeing that the day was about to pass, the summer curtain finally spoke.
"Huh? I'm here. As soon as Zhao Tianyang heard the woman's call, he naturally took three steps and made two steps, and walked to her side.
Xia Mu didn't turn his head, still looking into the distance: "Do you still want to marry me?" ”
“……”
"You too...... Don't want to think about it anymore? After a long time, he didn't get a response, so he had to turn his head to look at the man next to him, but he saw that his eyes were full of tears, his eyes were red, and he looked so excited.
"What's wrong?" Xia Mu tilted his head and asked.
"Of course I want to, I dream of it, you ...... Do you really want to? Zhao Tianyang didn't expect Xia Mu to say this suddenly, although he knew that there must be a reason behind it, but no matter what it was, he didn't care at all.
"Hehe......" Xia Mu lowered his head and smiled.
Isn't it too selfish? I know that I can't tell when I'm going to fall into the devil, I can't tell when I'm going to die, I'm not sure when I'm going to leave!
Isn't it too much to tease him like this, give him hope, and finally make him miserable and desperate?!
I especially remember that in Ningjiang City at that time, Yang Jing wanted to kill herself to continue her life, and the last wish she seemed to put forward at that time was that she felt that she had not seriously fallen in love and had not yet married, so she was unwilling. At that time, Yang Jing also brought herself a soldier who died on the battlefield, and wanted to marry herself.
Now that he looks up at Zhao Tianyang in front of him, is it much better than the situation at that time. At least he is alive, warm, flesh and blood, with whom he can talk, laugh with himself, hold himself and cry. Can she really choose that way?
Seeing that the woman didn't answer herself directly, Zhao Tianyang's heart also fell. He didn't know that she must have encountered something that was not easy to pass, so she seemed to be so desperate. But as long as she is willing, she is willing, willing for her to hide in her arms, willing to shelter her from the wind and rain, willing to face everything in this world.
"Don't think about anything, take care of your injuries, let's continue to travel the mountains and rivers and eat all the food in the world." Zhao Tianyang raised his head and rubbed it on the top of Xia Mu's head.
Xia Mu slapped it off angrily and laughing: "Take your claws off, you're not as big as me, call me sister." ”
"Phew! If you want to be my sister, how can it be so easy. Besides, don't look at you being a year older than me, where is I a little mature? ”
"Holy! Where do you have the confidence to talk to me like that! ”
……
Two people in the sunset, in the hallway, laughing together. This is this giggling woman, it has been rare for a long time to be so relaxed.
After nightfall, the sleeping summer curtain began to have nightmares again, until he was woken up by Zhao Tianyang, and his whole body was cold. only to realize that his middle coat had been soaked with sweat, and even his sideburns were wet.
"What's wrong? Dreaming again. Zhao Tianyang rarely spoke softly.
Xia Mu didn't speak, just buried his face in the palm of his hand. I don't know why lately, I've been plagued by nightmares every night, and the corridor in my dreams is full of pictures of her childhood in the welfare home, which she doesn't want to recall.
No matter how lucky you are, no matter how warm the welfare home, no matter how responsible the dean and aunts, there will still be corners that cannot be taken care of. And since childhood, Xia Mu has indeed grown up in these glooms. She has seen the purest beauty in the world, and she has also seen the darkest humanity in the world.
For example, she dreamed that when she was five years old, she was tricked by older children and locked herself alone in a small dark room. And that little black room has been rumored before that a child has just died of illness in it not long ago. I especially remember that the five-year-old girl was alone, lying on the door, calling the sky should not be, the earth was not spiritual, and she cried until she almost lost her breath.
For example, she dreamed that during the summer vacation, she was playing happily in a group of children, but was pushed down into the pool by mistake, and the boundless lotus leaves in the sky were extremely beautiful, but she was trapped in the mud and deep pool, drowning until she was only able to catch up with only one breath.
For example, one day, she saw a couple who had come out to adopt a child. Dressed well, his gestures were full of seriousness and nobility, but the man actually moved his hands and feet to another little girl, where no one was, and secretly pressed the eight-year-old girl into the corner......
The things she feared, the sad, the desperate, the hateful, the helpless, were recovering from the depths of her heart little by little, occupying her memory. In fact, there are many things that Xia Curtain has forgotten, or buried them all in the depths, and he can't remember them for a long time.
But why? And now they are suddenly spreading so without warning, so clearly.
"It's okay, it's just a dream, you sleep, I'll watch you outside the house." Zhao Tianyang spoke up again.
After a long time, Xia Mu raised his head, his face was tired, but he didn't feel sleepy, and he didn't know what he would dream about next time. The deep fear of nightmares had made her reluctant to sleep.
So they simply didn't sleep, the two lit candles and went to the eaves of the porch to chat. When the sky was in the south and the earth, the temperature in the air suddenly dropped significantly, and the cold swished made people get goosebumps.
When Xia Mu was confused, he found that Zhao Tianyang was already in a state of alertness, like a black cat attacking and defending at any time.
"How ......"
Before he finished asking this question, Xia Mu already understood what was going on - wasn't that Situ Boxin?!
is the same as Situ Lan's costume, if it weren't for that face, he would really have to recognize the wrong person.
Wrong! Situ Boxin is not a human!
In the next moment, Zhao Tianyang had already stood up, pulled Xia Mu behind him, and pulled out his saber and put it in front of him.
"He's ...... He is Situ Boxin. Xia Mu whispered in Zhao Tianyang's ear.
"Who?!"
"Oops! It is the master of the door who died a thousand years ago in the moon bud clouds, Situ Boxin. Wonder why he's here. ”
Xia Mu couldn't help but poke out half of his head from behind Zhao Tianyang, she had seen his strength, it was not a matter of seconds to kill herself, maybe she had already hung up before she understood what was going on.
But it had been a long time since he appeared, and he didn't move, just standing not far from him, and he really couldn't see what he was here for.
