Volume 1 Meaning Text·001 Sunshine Outside the House

743x 12.1 in Monan

In the empty room, there was only a wooden table that was about to be eaten away by time and faded, and there was a chair next to the wooden table, but the horizontal board on the back of the chair was broken, but fortunately, it was still strong.

In the far corner of the room, there is a bed, although it is a bed, but after a closer inspection, it is only made of a few wooden boards. Even though it was a harsh winter, there was only a thin layer of cloth on this bed that could not be called a quilt, and even the pillow could not be seen.

Luckily, there is also a fireplace in the house to keep the owner of the room warm.

In this room, there was a young man, dressed in a pure white but slightly black and yellow shirt, and his bare limbs were frozen red, as if flesh and bones had appeared.

The young man has short flaxen hair, silver-gray pupils, delicate facial features, is about one meter six or more tall, and is skinny.

The left arm is engraved with a strange pattern of coats of arms, which from a distance looks like a triangular figure, but if you look closely, each area of the triangle has a different pattern, namely a cross, a sword, and a scale.

The young man sat at the wooden table with a blank face, his hands tightly clutching a book with a scarlet sheepskin cover, and on the cover of the book there were only two words that should have been golden, but now they had been worn out and shiny—Holy Righteousness.

Immediately afterwards, there was a slight knock on the door, which contrasted with the silence and was very harmonious, and the boy responded, "Please come in." "It's like you already know who's coming from outside.

The door opened, and an old man with long gray hair, dressed in a black robe, and carrying a slender silver cane, slowly walked to the wooden table.

The atmosphere at this time was so oppressive that I couldn't even hear the footsteps of the old man coming.

The old man looked at the young man faintly for a few seconds, and then moved his gaze to the young man's hand, to be precise, it should be the book in the scarlet skin in the young man's hand, sighed slightly, and then moved his gaze back to the young man's eyes, and said secretly: "I heard from others, recently, you have a close relationship with that organization?" ”

In fact, this is just a polite question, and the old man informed the young man last night that he would come today because of this. Moreover, he also said that it is okay for you to stay here, and it is okay to leave overnight.

The old man spoke so slowly that every word could be heard clearly by the young man.

Then, as if he already knew the boy's answer, the old man looked away and began to look around the room.

The boy was about to answer immediately, but, after hearing the word "closely" at the end of the sentence, he hesitated for a moment and replied, "It's much better than being silent." ”

The young man's voice was pale and weak, and as long as there was a little noise around him, he couldn't hear what he had just said.

It doesn't match the age of the teenager at all, and the Q&A just now is more like two older people talking to each other.

As if he knew what the young man was going to answer, the old man looked back at the young man's pupils and said, "Then do you know what it is?" You are still young and can easily be led astray by others. ”

"Is it? It's the love I've always craved. The boy's voice was still weak.

Hearing this, the old man was silent. The young man glanced at the other party lightly, and then continued: "I believe that there must be gods in this world. ”

The old man was still expressionless, and he couldn't see any emotions flowing through his heart at all, and in the end, he just said lightly:

"I don't know if there are gods in this world, and I don't know what kind of existence the so-called gods are. But the problem is that all regions of the Central Mozambican Empire are prohibiting the spread of its teachings. I'm sorry, but I was negligent before, I didn't pay more attention to you. ”

Although the old man's voice was very heavy, it could not penetrate the young man's heart at all, and like the old man, the young man listened to the words of the person in front of him expressionlessly.

"It's okay now, I know, Uncle Feng, you're just an ordinary person, you also have a lot of things to do, I'm just abandoned by my biological parents and fostered on your side, what you did for me before, I'm already very grateful, this house, and everything in the house, was given to me by you, but I was useless myself, and I lived like this."

Although he was talking about his extremely miserable situation, the young man did not show any sentimentality on his face, and even if he looked closely, there was a hint of a smile on his face, but this should be a bitter smile.

"Indeed, yes, I had been overly negligent. But to get back to the point, I'm coming to you this time because you joined that organization, and if you promise me now that you'll immediately disassociate yourself from the organization, I'll immediately dismiss those people outside the door. ”

After listening to the young man's words, the old man became a little unbreathable, and explained the purpose of this trip with great urgency.

After hearing the old man's suggestion, the young man's brows furrowed, as if he felt some pain, and he spit out two words from his mouth with difficulty: "No." ”

The old man was not surprised by this answer, but the tone of his whole speech was much heavier:

"Why? I will not ignore you in the future, and I will ensure that the claws of those members of the organization will not touch you. ”

"I said it, it's the love I've been looking for, and this affection is something that only the Holy Sect can give me."

It is not so much that the Holy Religion gave it to him, but rather that he gave it to the Holy Religion, but fundamentally speaking, there is no contradiction between the two.

After listening to the young man's words, the old man's brows gradually wrinkled, and he said to himself, "Is it really brainwashed? ”

The boy was silent.

The old man continued: "The Chinese Mozambican Empire has a clear rule that anyone who is found to have spread doctrine without permission must be punished with death. Are you willing to die for it? ”

"Is there any point in being alive? If you can't find what you want, it's no different from a dead person, but it's better to die in a real way. ”

Speaking of death, the old man couldn't hold it anymore, and he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was such an answer, and then, the whole person seemed to be surrounded by a layer of anger: "Could it be that you are living for yourself!?" ”

"I haven't even met my parents, and I don't even remember them in my head. Moreover, I don't have any relatives, and even if I die, no one will be sad. ”

After listening to the young man's words, the old man became more and more angry, and said: "I am your relative, I don't want to see you die, and I don't want you to be executed for such a senseless thing." ”

"This is not a meaningless thing, even if I die in this world, I will live in another world, and it is also mentioned in the Holy Righteousness that death is the continuation of life, and people should have the courage to embrace death."

"What kind of terrible words are these, people die means empty, what you say in this book, at least, the living can't verify. Come back and become a normal person again, isn't it? Xiao Qian. ”

The old man, in the end, was helpless and called out the name of the young man.

Normal people? Doesn't it seem like I've been treated as an abnormal person? Did he think of me as a psychopath?

After hearing his name, the young man seemed to come back to his senses a little, and replied: "But, Uncle Feng, how much do you know about me?" You've never believed me! ”

The old man saw that he had been in the house for some time, and he was afraid that someone from outside would urge him, so he hurriedly said: "I beg you, later, if someone comes in, you can say that you are not a member of that organization, and if you say that the whistleblower has read it wrong, I will also help you explain, even if it is just for this search, it is okay to panic!" ”

Seeing that Feng Bo ignored his reply, the young man's original little emotion returned to silence, and said lightly:

"Uncle Feng, in the past sixteen years, you have always helped me, really, really grateful to you. But I never lied. Especially the word "lying" in it, the young man seemed to use all the spare strength in his body to aggravate his tone.

Then there was a quick knock at the door, and then I heard the people outside the door asking if they could come in.

Of course, Feng Bo immediately stopped it, and replied: "You guys wait outside for a while, I still need to verify further." The kid was slick and I had to ask him a few more questions. ”

After using two "returns" in a row, the old man immediately became nervous as if he was facing a great enemy.

However, the door was still opened by the disobedient, and it was opened by a slender man, about 1.8 meters tall and with dark skin.

Before Feng Bo could react, he took the lead in speaking: "Feng Lao, I don't think there is any need to waste time, I know that you seem to know this kid and have a little friendship with this kid, are you afraid that you want to delay time, right?" ”

When Feng Bo heard this, there was no anger on his face, but he smiled slightly: "I just want to confirm more, in this society, arresting people is based on real evidence, and the previous whistleblower is just a verbal statement." What's more, is what he says the same as what we see? We don't know yet, but there will always be some deviations in the word. ”

When the sturdy man heard this, he didn't know how to refute it, but he couldn't swallow this breath, so he asked the young man directly, "Do you have anything to do with that holy sect?" It's better to recruit me truthfully! Otherwise, there is your good fruit to eat! ”

Before the sturdy man could finish speaking, Qian replied in the same affirmative, "Yes." ”

The sturdy man didn't even believe his ears, and thought: This kid just confessed? So simply? No, I guess I heard it wrong.

Before the sturdy man could speak, a group of people behind him had already stepped forward to catch Qian. They dragged Qian up from his chairs, and one of them stepped forward to snatch the scarlet-covered book from Qian's hand.

At this point, Qian, who had always remained calm, finally panicked and shouted angrily: "Give me back, give me back the holy righteousness!" ”

Ignoring his cries, the man threw the righteousness into the fire.

Seeing such a scene, Qian wanted to use his thin body to break free from these people.

However, the truth is that he could not shake any of them at all, and even, so to speak, even one of them could completely subdue him.

When Feng Bo saw such a crazy Qian, his face was a little heavier, and then he walked to the fireplace, picked up the book, and patted the ashes on the book.

Then, Feng Bo dismissed the few people who had subdued Qian, handed the book to Qian's hand, and whispered in his ear: "I'm sorry, I can't save you anymore, I'm afraid this is the only thing I can do for you." ”

Qian saw that the book was intact, and his face immediately showed joy, which was like two people compared to his previous impression, and then, he smiled and said, "Thank you, you have guarded my love." ”

Thank you? Just this kind of trivial thing is said thank you, the old man and the young man, as if two strangers passing by.

Seeing such a scene, the sturdy man snorted coldly and said contemptuously: "It's really hopeless!" ”

Then, with a sarcastic tone, he said to Feng Bo: "Feng Lao, now, can you go?" I'm in a hurry to get back! ”

When I walked outside, I found that the scenery outside was completely different from the inside, and compared to the gloomy and damp inside the house, the sunlight outside made people feel very relaxed and open.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, the sturdy man said to the room in a playful tone:

"Ah, I remember one thing, as I said, there are too many prisoners who have been captured in the past few days, and in order to relieve the pressure of the prison, a wave of people will be executed tomorrow. Not surprisingly, the execution, which was originally scheduled to be a week later, will be partially advanced tomorrow, I wonder who will be so lucky? ”

Although the sturdy man spoke of good luck, he did not understand whether he meant to be executed early or to live for an extra week.

Obviously, the sturdy man's words were addressed to Feng Bo, and for some reason, he always wanted to find Feng Bo's stubble, and he even provoked him many times.

In fact, Feng Bo received the news earlier, although he had executed many saints before, but this time, there were more children of old friends, and he always felt that it was not a good taste.

He may even feel guilty for not saving him.

Everyone went out of the house together, and because of Feng Bo's attitude, those people were not too rude to Qian, but simply surrounded Qian in the middle, so as not to escape or be seen.

Just as everyone was about to leave, they didn't know that there were several pairs of eyes staring at them behind them.

Then, the men in the corner just talked a few words, and then they all disappeared into the shadows.
