Volume 16 Is There Really Providence in the Dark? (1st Update)
Jing Ning could feel the sadness that the general was trying to hide, and his heart was like a hole in the second painting that he couldn't lift his pen, but he didn't know how to comfort the general.
When Jing Ning hesitated, the general suddenly broke the silence softly: "You are also a person who loves to laugh. "
"It's fine. Jing Ning didn't know if the general was a question or a declarative sentence, so she had to reply intuitively.
"Why don't you smile at me? This time, Jing Ning heard him asking himself, and the question was a little abrupt.
"General, I don't understand. "
"No, you understand. His tone was a little softer, and he didn't force and order, but spoke slowly.
"There is no reason to laugh, and the general will smile when he sees the slave family. Jing Ning replied calmly.
After a long silence, he looked up at her standing beside her
"Yes, every time I see you, I always feel indebted. The general's gaze was always on the painting of the first thought.
She understood why she could see through the hollowness in the general's heart, and how could she not, since she was forced to make a decision that she had no choice but to make, she still owed it after all, and she owed herself the feelings that she had in her heart. For the first time in his life, he felt that the general was also a poor person, and all that was left in the face of life and death was helplessness.
"General......" She wanted to comfort him, but she couldn't speak, it seemed that every sentence of comfort that others thought they understood was just an innocuous perfunctory for the parties who were deeply involved, Jing Ning had listened too much during this time, and the self in other people's mouths, they told her story according to the gratuitous ones they thought they knew, but she, the party, couldn't open her mouth to the stories depicted by the idlers.
"Don't call me a general, now that the strife has stopped, I will no longer fight on the battlefield, you still call me Mozhin." The name is empty from beginning to end, and there are already too many constraints between the two, so there is no need to add another distance to the name.
"Okay." Today's Jingning feels as if she has lost the ability to refuse, and today's general is not as far away as it once was.
Some changes are the handiwork of time, shallow and faintly outlined, engraved and left large and small marks on people's bodies.
"It's really abrupt for me to say these things to you today, but faintly, I feel that everything is related, including you." This time, Jing Ning really didn't understand the meaning of the general's words.
"I have been entangled for a long time, entangled to not know to doubt myself, when Chu Nian died, I was training in Shacheng, at that time Jin and Qi were constantly fighting because of territorial disputes, I was always ready for war, training elite soldiers, the number of times I went home can be described as few, six years ago, You'er was born, that year disasters were frequent, Chu Nian named the child You'er, may God bless, I think I am a martial artist, I live a life of licking blood on the tip of the knife, but I don't believe in ghosts and gods." Mo Ran said this, and there was hesitation in his words.
"The general is also a rare person in the Jin country." Jing Ning's heartfelt evaluation, in the Jin country, all of them are full of respect and worship for ghosts and fairies, the king has been looking for capable people in the people since the princess was sick, until a female Taoist aunt who claimed to be a Lanyi monk, proposed to have a life of a special person, and the princess slept peacefully on a collapse, accompanied by the princess until she was seventeen years old, that person is Jing Ning, so she inexplicably resisted those who claimed to be gods, a few rootless words, changed her life.
"Yes, until the year when You'er was one year old, Chu Nian seemed to have changed a person, and that was also the first Nian accompanied You'er the most two years, whenever I went back to the house, I woke up at night and found that Chu Nian was always looking at me, her eyes were like water, but it was extremely desolate, I thought I was too busy She blamed me, asked her She just smiled, she wrote a few books before giving birth, and put them aside after giving birth, during that time I listened to the people in the house report me about the movements of Chu Nian, when You'er slept, she often wrote something alone in this room."
The general stroked the table where the old man had been lying on the table, everything on the table was still placed as it was, and Jing Ning listened to his expression as if he saw the appearance of Chu Nian once here.
