Chapter 69: Departure

Du Foye's corpse did not show the same changes as a normal corpse, but became more shriveled, and all the skin was tightly bound to the bones and muscles, and it was as hard as iron to the touch.

The vision under the immortal tree has ended, and the bottom of the Danshui pool is a shallow layer of black viscous fluid.

Wang Dake looked unusually haggard, and I think she may have been looking for her all night.

I knew she hadn't found it, maybe she didn't have the courage to find it, because I clearly saw Liu Dongxi sitting on top of the high city wall all night. Maybe she just needed this search to comfort herself.

The pills at the bottom of the pool looked scarce, but filled all the sealed containers I could find. He watched me crawl out of the pool with big bags and smiles.

Since the last incident, E's is no longer rejected by this place, perhaps because it has achieved recognition here.

"When are you going to get out?" Ask me.

"Wait." I said, "The child is still too young, and I don't feel comfortable going out like this." ”

He pinched his fingers and counted for a while, "It's about winter." ”

I nodded, the bear was not at all as fragile as other human children, and it was only a few days before it was born, and it was almost ready to roll over. But it's just the strength of the body, his perception is still normal for a child's development, so we have to wait. I believe that by the time he is four or five months old, he will be able to walk and run and move with us.

"Why can't you keep him here?" Ei asked.

"The boy should follow his father." I said to her.

……

Lu Yan found me in the afternoon.

"Si'an, I'm leaving......"

I was drinking water, and I choked when I heard him say this, and I coughed for a long time before I could speak.

"Where are you going?"

"He's been waiting for a long time to go to Summerhill, I should go and replace him......"

I put down the cup and stared at Lu Yan in a daze, and it took me a long time to realize who he meant by "he".

The guardian of Natsuyama Jianmu, is it time to change shifts?

"Why now? Isn't it okay to be late? ”

"I can only go in while it's summer......" Lu Yan's eyes seemed to flicker, "Besides, I can't wait long......"

"What do you mean?" I didn't understand, "Didn't you say your body was okay?" ”

"That's just to make sure I can get to ......," Lu Yan said, "You should know that nothing lasts forever." ”

I thought of the Buddha who had just been abandoned by the soul of the surname Wang, as well as the group of transparent butterflies flying up from Ge Er's black face, the shriveled corpse, and the fleeting man in the stone......

Time is so cruel that it firmly pushes everything to destruction! Only human beings are immortal!

Always have a new life!

Lu Yan ...... "I want to use our need for his protection as a reason to stay, but I also remember that this kind of retention is tantamount to murder for him, and for him, living with another posture on the building wood of Daoxia Mountain is the best way to prolong his life."

"You don't need my help anymore." The corners of Lu Yan's mouth moved, and a trace of bangs floated up for no reason, "Ehe Gejia has made you have the strongest power in the world." ”

"I ...... And also...... Wang Dake ......" Lu Yan seemed to say Wang Dake's name with some difficulty, "With us here, you don't have to worry about ......"

I nodded, I didn't know what it was like, something stuck in my throat, I couldn't go up or down.

"Okay, it's time for me to go......" Lu Yan stood up, the long stick regained grip in his hand, "Don't think about replacing me, it's fun to live, I still want to live." ”

I couldn't find any reason to dissuade Lu Yan, and his indifferent eyes could reject all my advice.

Lu Yan walked to the window, took another step forward and fell.

A hint of wind blew in through the window, and in a flash, the little bear woke up and cried.

I hugged him and walked to the window, on the white jade covered bridge, Lu Yan had already walked away, but there was a clear voice coming over.

"I like the name of Little Bear, he wants to grow up with this new world!"

The bear looked forward, stretched out two chubby little hands, grabbed them, and then turned around and hugged my neck.

I didn't answer, my nose was against his soft hair, a little sore, a little itchy.

……

At the top of a high pavilion in the distance, Wang Dake stood with the wind and watched Lu Yan go away.

I saw him climb the rope and leap up the wall.

Liu Dongxi stood up, as if giving a salute, Lu Yan stopped, said something to him, and then jumped down.

Wang Dake was still facing in that direction, without the slightest movement.

Liu sat down and also headed in that direction.

The silence outside was terrifying, and the bear's little hand flapped on my neck, expressing his affection for me.

"He's gone?" Xiao Kan didn't know when he came back and asked me behind me.

I didn't turn around and nodded.

"When are we leaving?"

"Wait for winter." I say.

Xiao Kan sat down and began to sort the wild vegetables he had just picked on the stone table.

"That's good, we might all be able to walk by then."

I lifted the bear high and stared into the clean eyes on his round cheeks.

"Our children, I'm afraid they will go earlier than you think."

It may have been the discomfort of this position, and the bear twisted his body to get down.

Xiao Kan smiled, "Maybe I'll leave tomorrow, our children are the best!" ”

I nodded, hugged the bear to my chest, and thought to myself that Lu Yan should have already left Miyagi.

In the evening, I came to the seventh Danshui River, and the old tree holding the remnant monument on the riverside had fallen down, and half of the remnant monument had been taken out of the ground, and the wet base was tilted upward.

Although the stele is visibly too old to be counted, the handwriting on it is as clear as if it had been carved freshly.

Different from the meticulous craftsmanship of the buildings here, the workmanship of this stele is simply crude, not to mention the shape of the stele that does not even have a diagonal line, but the sharp notches and stiff brushstrokes on it are simply a model of shoddy workmanship.

I took a handful of Danshui to wash away the dirt from it, trying to read the words on the tablet.

The strokes on the stele start from the top edge to the end of the ground, without interruption in the middle, and it is like a word. But the word is like a prank of the naughty pen scribble, and it is impossible to recognize it at all.

"This is Zhang Fu." Liu Dongxi's voice sounded behind him.

I turned my head suddenly, only to see him standing in the Danshui not far from me, his face already emaciated, and his eyes sunken.

I hadn't seen him all night, and he looked like he was more than ten years old.

"What charm?" I wanted to say something about last night, but I didn't think it was appropriate to say anything, so I had to ask him about what he said.

"I don't know, most of the talismans are far-fetched and made up by later generations, and I've only seen the real talismans once or twice, and I'm not sure if it's true."

"Forget it, I guess it doesn't make any sense." I walked over to the fallen logs that were lying across the Danshui River, touched the golden wood grain, and broke off a few crisp leaves.

"It's kind of a trace." Liu Dongxi also walked to the side of the fallen wood, "Look at this talisman, the strokes are endless, like a long turn, and there is a lot of endless taste." ”

"What does that mean?"

"If your tree doesn't grow well, stick one on it to make sure it works." Liu looked at me and said.

I laughed, "Figured it out?" ”

"It's nothing more than those truths, I want to ...... back then" Liu Shixi suddenly stopped halfway through speaking, and his eyes were a little flustered.

I patted him, "The hero doesn't mention the courage of the year, why is the big husband without a wife." ”

Liu Dongxi glared at me, "Lu Yan is gone, what am I afraid of?" ”

I understood what he meant, and looked at him with some amazement.

"Actually, it's really not easy, and in the end, she finally did the same thing with him, and her wish was fulfilled." Liu Dongxi sighed.

"What are you going to do?" I asked.

"I'm a little hungry and want to eat." Liu Dongxi was stunned for a moment and replied.
