Volume 1 Pen Immortal Chapter 33, Red Brocade Lantern (4)

I give you my blood,

I'll give you my meat......

I just don't give you my freedom.

"All I want is your blood." He said to the woman with the red light in front of him.

"Take it." She unbuckled her collar.

"I might kill you." He continued.

"Take it."

He stopped talking...... He followed her...... Went to her house...... There is a red light on the door in the woods...... There is also a large mansion with red lights in the courtyard...... I walked into her house early......

She slammed the door back.

……

He always came to the woods, and then he saw the red light, and he approached the red light, and he walked into the house where the red light was shining, and she intervened......

He reached for her pretty neck, but he didn't open it......

"Eat when you're hungry." She said to him.

He burst into tears, "I'm human too......"

"Once, but not anymore." The woman said.

"The night is too long." He wept......

"Too short." She smiled.

"I want to die......," he said.

"Then die." She said.

Dawn......

The dawn that has not been seen in hundreds of years...... Magnificent!

He stood in front of the door carved with vine flowers, and he was immersed in the morning light...... Waiting for ...... Sunshine killed him...... He wanted to die.

In the early morning, a layer of rubbing tulle filtered away the jewel-like black, and a beautiful and gradually clear blue ...... Such a ...... Cold...... It's alive again...... It's like a knife hewn out of crystal...... The knife in the executioner's hand......

And the executioner, dressed diagonally in red, came, like a lamp in her hand...... Red...... Red ...... as if it was about to explode

Erupted! Glass-like light!

He wept...... He was timid, he used to be human...... Even though he wasn't now, he still remembered what pain was...... He was afraid...... If you can die when you are discouraged, why do you still feel pain......

I was afraid of death...... It turned out that I didn't really want to die at all...... Didn't have the courage to die.

She pulled the door open, and in the colorful morning light through the trees, she pulled him in. It's pitch black...... Full of life...... It's like listening to the beating of your heart......

"I was afraid of death." He said.

"Don't die if you're afraid of death." She said.

"What can you live for?" He asked.

"Hope." She replied.

"I have no hope." He continued.

"I'll give you hope." She smiled......

Soon...... It's not too long...... Because it's not yet a year......

"I'll give you a hope,......" she said, giving him a baby......

"She's so beautiful!" He laughed...... Smile that almost cried......

"She's like you." She caressed the baby's cold little face, and the light in her eyes was as soft as spring water.

"I want her to be like you." He looked at her and hugged his daughter in his arms, "Come with me...... Be with me, like me...... Our children will sleep for a hundred years, and for me, a hundred years is short, for you...... A hundred years is too long...... Come with me. ”

"Isn't that nice...... she said......

She didn't go with him, and she didn't go with him for the rest of her life......

I give you my blood,

I'll give you my meat......

I just don't give you my freedom.

He carried a red light, and he walked long through the night...... He held his daughter...... A daughter like a corpse...... For the first time, he feared the darkness and cold of the night, and his smooth face pressed against his daughter's...... Icy face...... Something colder than her daughter's face is flowing...... Freeze...... Rolled...... Smash...... In the red light of the brocade lantern shimmered with broken light...... Bright and flickering, flickering and glittering...... Drifting in the cold night breeze, lingering......

Sitting there, without going out of the house, sitting next to my daughter...... He couldn't get out of the house...... He didn't want to go out of the house at all......

Yard ...... Beautiful flowers bloom and wither, and after withering, they bloom again...... The red candle in the brocade lantern was replaced by a ...... Another ...... I don't know how many of them have been replaced......

………………

Someday...... Until one day......

The flowers bloomed and no longer withered, and a full moon hung in the night sky...... He opened the doors and windows...... Even the wind is singing......

She woke up......

I give you hope......

She grows ......

A Hope ......

She speaks......

Wish......

She laughed......

"I'll give you hope!"
