Chapter 41: The World in the Painting (3)

Looking at the person in the mirror, he must be at least fifty years old.

I was the only one around, except for an unidentified corpse and an old cat.

Who else can there be but me as the owner of this old face?

After the panic, I put away the osteoscope and tried to stand up. But I don't know if it's a psychological effect, I feel like I'm really getting old, and I have to use both my hands and feet to get up.

At a glance at the wishful wrench of my thumb, I suddenly remembered Jinghai.

I wanted to call Jinghai out to explain, but my throat arched, but I still couldn't make a sound. The pain seemed to be gone, but it looked like it had been decades since it had been spoken, and it was completely incapable of speaking.

"Meow ......"

Xiaofu suddenly called out again, turned around, and ran in the other direction.

The truth is that in this short period of time, it seems to be a little older again. The act of running only symbolically is not actually running.

Looking at its somewhat staggering back, my heart moved. Although Xiaofu is old, the innate keen intuition of felines should still be there. It can find dead bodies, and it can't sense where Bai Jing is.

I was in a hurry to keep up, and after only a dozen steps, my legs and stomach began to tremble.

I know that I am also getting old like Xiaofu, but I am not willing to expose my body in this deep mountain and old forest for no reason.

With the support of the belief in survival, he followed Xiaofu forward for a while, and when the sound of water came faintly again, he heard a sobbing sound.

He followed the sound to a river, and in the distance he saw an old woman sitting by the river with her back to this side, crying in a low voice.

At first glance, I wanted to shout at the back of this old woman, but I still couldn't make a sound.

I was anxious and wanted to speed up my pace, but I stumbled and fell to the ground.

As if hearing the noise, the old woman turned her head sharply, followed closely, stood up, and staggered over.

When she didn't look back, I recognized her identity just by looking at her clothes.

When she came to her, the two looked at each other, and I was even more sure that the old woman in front of me who was full of gorgeous hair and no longer upright and fit was Bai Jing!

Perhaps because of his status as a disciple, Bai Jing's physical fitness is still better than mine.

She helped me to my feet, but she also tried her best to sit down next to me tremblingly.

At this moment, the two of them sat side by side in the col not far from the river, a man and a woman, also in the twilight of their years, but they could look up, and the mountains in the distance were reflected by the brilliance, but it was in the middle of the day.

Xiaofu also seemed to know that he didn't have much time, although he was a wild and untamable tanuki, he still walked back to Bai Jing and me, lying at the feet of the two.

Bai Jing didn't ask where the old cat came from, but stroked the cat's head with a shriveled hand that could see the green tendons, and said to me in a hoarse voice:

"I knew you were going to come to me, but I didn't expect you to grow old too. It's really ugly for you to look old. ”

I was not angry, 'Do you think you're so beautiful?' Don't pee and take photos, it's almost a loofah! ’

However, I couldn't speak, I could only give her a look and let her understand for herself.

Bai Jing frowned: "Don't stare at me!" As far as your current virtue is concerned, you can only clean up. ”

Seeing me looking left and right, she raised her voice: "Speak! Don't pretend to be dumb here! ”

I gave her another blank look, and said in my heart: If you're either scared silly, or menopause is delayed. If I can speak, do you have room to 'play'? With just a pair of tongues, you can survive and not die!

I really had too many questions to ask her, but I couldn't make a sound, and the rapid aging of my body also made me know that 'time is short', so my mind turned like electricity, trying to find a place to live.

However, Bai Jing didn't give me a chance to think calmly.

She suddenly pursed her mouth, and then drooped two lines of turbid tears: "If I hadn't looked for you, you wouldn't have become like this, I hurt you." Can...... But dig to the roots, but you hurt me all my life! I am a disciple of the horse, but I never wanted to do this business, I just want to fulfill my dream, be a lawyer, do a big job, redress the grievances of people who are wronged, and give them justice! I just want to be an ordinary person, why can't I......"

Before I met Bai Jing, I was indeed a little distraught because of the aging of my body.

However, after seeing the old Bai Jing, while confirming some 'answers', some beliefs rekindled.

Seeing that she was chattering, I could not concentrate, thought left and right, swept a small piece of land with the palm of my hand, picked up a branch, and wrote on the ground:

"The lawyer is full of fairy spirit, and he is obsessed with lust and ......"

As soon as these words were written, Bai Jing smiled miserably: "Xian'er is a fart, I just have high eyes, and I can frustrate anyone!" Besides, I want to fall in love with someone, and it's not like I haven't tried it, but any man who is with me will have bad luck. had a meal with me, and before I left the restaurant, I was inexplicably planted in a soup pot; Shopping with me, I was stunned by a child's scooter and went to the hospital for brain CT! There is an even more exaggerated, he only held my hand, I went, my fingers hooked together, and he actually fell into the manhole cover! ”

I stared at her for a while, and couldn't help but write in a twig: And then?

Bai Jing looked at me with red eyes, squinted at me and sobbed: "That time, the municipal government released water to clean up the pollution, and washed him into the septic tank under the public toilet, and the person was fine after he was fished up, but he was covered in feces and ......."

"Click...... cough cough cough ......"

I wanted to laugh, but I was choked and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Bai Jing's color changed in a panic, and she hurriedly supported me: "What's wrong with you?!" ”

I waved my hand, and I couldn't help but want to use the branches as pens and the ground as paper, and tease her no matter how hard it was.

However, he barely stopped coughing, and when he lowered his head again, he saw the tanuki Xiaofu lying on the ground, looking up at the two of us for a while, and suddenly lowered his head, buried his head between his front paws, and stopped moving.

I panicked, stretched out my hand and pulled, Xiaofu was already stiff!

The corners of Bai Jing's mouth twitched, and she couldn't tell whether she wanted to cry or laugh: "Let's go...... It's gone...... It's time for us to go......"

I'm not really old, but it's really hard to move right now, and every movement I make almost exerts all my strength.

Despite this, looking at Bai Jing's bleak appearance, I still couldn't bear it. Once upon a time, this beautiful lawyer was indeed full of fairy spirit, giving people a feeling that she could not be played with from a distance, but since she was a mortal, she would inevitably have emotional experience.

My current physical condition is not as good as hers, but as a forensic doctor, not to mention the experience of looking down on life and death, and getting close to death, she has never had it.

Seeing that she was on the verge of collapse, I didn't care about anything else, pushed her, picked up the branches, and wrote tremblingly on the ground: Don't panic, with me, it's all fake!

I can see that Bai Jing is really timid. This has nothing to do with occupation or identity, it's just instinct and nature.

Seeing that her eyes were blurred with tears, and she didn't even look at what I wrote, in a hurry, I groped up and down, and took out my mobile phone from my trouser pocket.

I originally wanted to borrow the convenience of my mobile phone and type it to her, but as soon as the screen was swiped open, I saw the content of a text message, and the whole person couldn't help but feel shocked!
