Chapter 61: The Unchosen Path

"Bai Li's grandson?" Shi Yi looked at Rong Di, who was wearing big pants, "You're here for a vacation?" ”

"Sort of...... this time it was Rong Di's turn to look at Shi Yi, this guy is also tightly wrapped at the beach, is he really here for a vacation?

"I love the sea view." Shi Yi seemed to see through Rong Di's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Are you looking for me to help you delete your memories?" I have a camera in my magic pocket that can erase memories. ”

"No, I'd like to ask about the photo you gave me. I had a very sad dream, I was a girl, she kept looking at the sea, but she was very sad, and I wanted to know what happened to her. Rongdi asked.

Shi Yi was stunned, the color of sadness swept from his face, and he said calmly: "She died, and when that photo was taken, the war that you called World War I was breaking out."

That...... Is it already more than a hundred years old?

Rong Di felt a little dazed, feeling empty in his heart. Seeing Rong Di's sadness, Shi Yi couldn't help but say: "Many people say that the photo is very beautiful, and you are the first person who can feel sadness."

"You're a sensitive person, aren't you?" He asked, in the affirmative.

"Sort of......

"You're such a gentle man." Shi Yi said with a smile.

"Huh?"

The gentle man was stunned, and the other gentle man smiled faintly.

"The reason why I think of that photo as a proud collection is because every time I see it, I have an inexplicable feeling that I should look for something, and I don't know what it is. But it is very important, and it seems to be buried in the depths of the soul, in a world of distractions. ”

Shi Yi suddenly said this, he was a little sad, his sadness was no longer hidden, and it was completely written on his face. Because it's not his memory, even if it's the best collection......

Later, when Rong Di wrote Shi Yi into his story, he wrote like this-

He was a lonely man. He has no memory, there is a blank behind him, he can only move forward...... Keep going. Hopefully, it may be his guidepost, but how long can he last?

Shi Yi told Rong Di: "She didn't tell me her name, I called her Bai because her dress was white."

……

In 1900, which was classified as the first year of the new century, not many people seemed to care about the word "new century". The colonists still run amok on other people's lands, and ships carrying goods sail across the oceans. No one cares about a person who is traveling, who has no memories and is looking for them.

A year ago, he suddenly came into this world, he doesn't remember anything, but he has this feeling, it's not the first time he's lost his memory like this and suddenly comes into this world.

He knows his name, his name is Shi Yi, and there is a word "memory" in his memory, but he has no memory. The magic pocket on his left contains items for collecting memories, cameras, films, and test tubes for collecting photographs; The magic pocket on the right is a lot of money. But he just didn't know why he had such a thing in him.

He is unusually obsessed with the memories of his past, while also being fascinated by the memories of others. So, all year long, he has been collecting other people's memories, and the irony is that his own memories don't seem to be revived at all.

Year after year has passed, and 16 years have passed like this, and his appearance has not changed at all, and even he feels that he appeared in the world because he collected other people's memories. Shi Yi met her in 1916.

In a certain country, Shi Yi can understand all languages, and he can also say that his concept of country is different, and he can't remember where and where he met that girl. Later, he thought about it, he should have met her in the United States. Because that poem was written by a Chinese person.

It was a fine afternoon, as the weather is now, the west sun in the distance dyed everything red, this day, this land, this sea, in the light of the setting sun became very beautiful.

Blown by the hearty sea breeze, looking at the boundless sea, and walking aimlessly on the coast, Shi Yi suddenly felt that all this was so small.

It was on a stone cliff, and Shi Yi met a girl, but it wasn't a romantic encounter. The girl was petite, between thirteen and fourteen years old. She wears a white dress. Well, she's white, and if this coast is a painting, then she's a random stroke of the painter's painting.

Her skin was bloodless, and even spotted, it was a sick body, and she was thin as if she would be blown away by the sea breeze at any moment.

The hair pressed by the straw hat was light and dry, like sun-dried seaweed. Her eyes were colorless, and she never smiled even when facing the beautiful ocean.

When she walked in, Shi Yi found that she had used a lot of makeup to cover up her sick complexion.

She still looked at the beautiful sea view and ignored Shi Yi who walked towards her. Her eyes were very sad, as if she had lost everything, and she didn't know if she had abandoned the world or if the world had abandoned her. She feels out of place with this world.

"You're here to talk?" She asked suddenly.

Shi Yi, who was mistaken for a conversation, smiled: "No, I can see that you are very sad, that's why you came here."

"I can also see that although you are very happy now, you are very sad in your heart." She seemed to laugh and cough at the same time.

Shi Yi replied calmly: "Well, I don't have a memory, so I'm very interested in other people's memories, so I've been collecting other people's memories."

The girl was stunned, and Shi Yi also showed a lonely and lonely expression.

"Can you tell us why you're so sad? Maybe, I can help you. ”

Shi Yi likes to listen to other people's stories, if he is happy to listen to it, he will give money, the money in his pocket is not used up, and after a day, the money will change back to its original state.

"I don't want to live anymore...... "I have a disease that cannot be cured by current science and technology."

With that, she took off her wig. Her hair had fallen out due to the disease, and there was not a single hair on the top of her head.

One has no past, the other has no future, and the two people who are sympathetic to each other show the same expression. Maybe it's just listening to other people's stories and shedding your own tears. But none of them wept.

"You need a lot of money, right? Trade your memories with me......" As he spoke, Shi Yi took out a large amount of money from his pocket, and at the same time took out the box camera.

Shi Yi wanted to help her, even he didn't know why he wanted to help her. It's just that he thinks that if he can really help her, he will feel better.

A look of surprise flashed across the girl's face, but she quickly regained her previous sadness.

"I couldn't be cured, and the doctor said I only had a few days left to live." As she spoke, she looked at the boundless sky and sea, smiled softly, and said, "Since you can't decide your birth, let me decide your own death." I...... I don't want to live anymore. ”

Shi Yi's throat was blocked, and he wanted to say a lot of things, but he couldn't say anything. He looked at her, a little anxious, but more helpless.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" She asked.

"Hmm......" Shi Yi replied calmly.

"I've seen the scenery here, I've been here for a long time." She smiled and said, "I wish I could die in this beautiful place."

The water was rushing and loud, constantly lapping against the rocks, the terrain here was very high, and Shi Yi had already guessed in what form she would end her life.

Shi Yi stared at her, and he noticed that there was no desire for "life" in the girl's eyes, only an attachment to "death". He didn't help her, and perhaps, no one could help her.

I don't know why, but when I took out the camera, the girl believed him. "Can you take my memory?" She asked suddenly.

"It's okay to ......" Shi Yi looked at her, seemingly a little reluctant. Instead, he would have put his head in the hood and pressed the shutter. This time, he hesitated, obviously it was the first time they met, and it was just a person who met in Pingshui, but he was reluctant to take a photo of her.

Once her picture was taken, her life was over. Is it really the right thing to do to choose your own death?

After a long time, Shi Yi touched her eyebrows with his fingertips, and he chose to respect her choice. After seeing the memories she chose to delete, Shi Yi was also infected by her sadness.

Eventually, sad, he took a sad photo.

"Your memory is the best I've ever received." Shi Yi held the gold coin and handed it to her, "You deserve this money." ”

"I don't need ......"

Those who are about to die look at everything is light.

"It's good to have met you, to be able to keep the most precious memories of my life in this form."

This seascape was definitely not the sorrow that preceded suicide, and although her owner was very sad, she was also quite relieved, she was relieved, from that body full of illness.

What kind of mood she left this world with, Shi Yi didn't know. But Shi Yi seemed to see her smile before leaving—she turned around and smiled at Shi Yi.

Shi Yi didn't look at the bottom of Shi Ya, and he didn't want to see her swallowed by the sea. He turned away sadly, taking a heavy gift.

The previous photos were all bought, and Shi Yi was at ease. But now it's different, she gave it to him, and her grief is also infectious to him.

What is life, and do you have to live if you are born? If that's the case, how can we be alive?

Shi Yi couldn't help but ask himself, "What about my life?"

……

Shi Yi finished his story, and then said: "There are two roads in the yellow woods, and I chose the one with fewer people, which has determined the path of my life."

He added: "She said this to me before she left.

"This sentence comes from "The Road Not Taken" written by Frost, a native of the United States, and I remember learning it when I was in junior high school." Rongdi replied.

Rong Di was also infected by her sadness, and quietly watched the sunset in the west.

But she didn't have a choice.

There are some things that you can't choose, your parents, your family background, your skin color, or even your health.

Shi Yi suddenly said: "I suddenly remembered Cheng Jiaju's memory, if she knew the way to become a vampire, would she not commit suicide?"

Rong Di replied, "I don't know ......."

Then, Rong Di thought for a while and said, "I don't know what kind of mood she left the world with. Is it just sadness? If that's really it, then she's too pitiful. ”

"It should be the same excitement as the seawater, after all, she can be relieved, and it may not be sad or not."

"Excited? She committed suicide with two feelings......"

"When I'm looking for death, I think whoever is in a mixed mood." Shi Yi said: "The human heart is very complex, and all kinds of emotions come together to form the human heart."

In a flash of inspiration, Rong Di suddenly thought of something, and muttered repeatedly: "Mood, the mood of the sea ......"

This chapter will not be "three requests" first, some of the inspiration in this chapter comes from the words of a netizen, I hope he can face himself, face life, don't run away.
