Chapter 71: Quiet
"No need to hide, I know where you are."
Wang Yi seemed to be able to read my inner thoughts.
"Don't go, he's not a good guy!"
Liu Jianghe grabbed my arm, gritted his teeth, and tried to squeeze out such a sentence from the tip of his tongue.
I hesitated, lay down quietly, and decided to ignore the people in the meeting.
"If you continue to hide like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to return to your body, and if you wait another hour, you will be wiped out."
Wang Yi raised his hand to look at the watch on his left wrist, and the fingertips of his right hand tapped the dial, reminding:
"Now, it's almost seven o'clock, and you still have an hour to go, if you're not in a hurry, then I'll wait here until you're in a hurry."
This is really a reminder that is hard to refuse, hiding here all the time, there is no other purpose than wasting time and delaying the time when the soul flies into oblivion.
Anyway, it's already an out-of-body gesture, so what about meeting each other?
Death is something that can't be avoided in the first place.
If I stand up, maybe there will be a chance of survival.
A little hope is compared to the fact that there is no way, and I choose hope.
So, I let go of Liu Jianghe's hand and stood up silently.
"That's right!"
Wang Yi lowered his head, and after seeing my appearance, he smiled with satisfaction.
"What do you want to talk about?"
Didn't you say you wanted to talk about it?
"There's a lot to talk about, but we need you to go back to your body first, and we're running out of time."
Wang Yi pulled out a white ribbon from his pocket and handed it down from the well, just high enough for me to reach out and touch.
"I have one condition, if you promise me, I will go with you!"
I hesitated for a moment, and looked back at the gravel, although there was nothing wrong with it on the surface, but I could clearly feel that the Liujiang River was underneath, struggling in pain.
If I'm gone, he'll probably never come out again.
He will be tortured here for as long as he has time.
This kind of pain is not something he should bear.
Everything, there should be an ending.
"You sayβ"
Wang Yi was not in a hurry, but calmly waited for my answer.
"I'm going to take him with meβ"
I pointed to the person under the rubble, with a firm face, and in my tone, there was irrefutable persistence.
"Okay, I promise you!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Yi agreed to me without even thinking about it.
This surprised me a little.
Soon, though, I knew why he was so calm.
Because, I have no way to take Liu Jianghe at all.
Now, his whole body is in a state of collapse, curled up in the rubble, and keeps repeating:
"Spare me, please let me go!"
I tried to pull him, but I couldn't pull at all, he stuck himself tightly to the ground, as if he was growing on it, and refused to go.
He didn't listen to what I told him, so he held his head and shrank in the rags, as if everything outside the rags was his worst nightmare, and he could be safe and sound by hiding in the rags.
In such a situation, I am really helpless.
"He won't go, but I can promise you a choice."
Wang Yi stayed on the side, and when my patience ran out, he gave me a reply.
"You've been threatening him, what the hell are you?"
I don't understand, why does this person make Liu Jianghe so scared?
"I'm the same existence as you, but I haven't chosen to forget."
Wang Yi shook the silk scarf in his hand and reminded me, "Time is running out, do you want to come up?" Or do you want to die here and wait another 500 years for rebirth? β
Wang Yi's words made me a little dazed.
He said, "He's just like me."
Five hundred years of rebirth, is it the same with him?
"Hurry up, if you don't come up again, I'll leave!"
Wang Yi repeated, looking at me helplessly.
When I held the silk scarf and was about to climb up, Wang Yi just pulled hard, and I flew to the ground with the silk scarf lightly.
The world on the ground is not what I remember at all.
I remember that when I came in the afternoon, the fences, buildings, paths and gardens were well planned.
But now, where I stood, there was a dense wood, and in the forest, overgrown with weeds, covered with frost and dew, was frozen in place, and the dead branches and rotten leaves made the sound of crumbling when I stepped on them.
Here, it's a barren place.
But this is also where the Ranger Garden is located.
I saw a few thatched huts, standing alone, with holes on all sides, and when the wind blew through them, there would be a whining sound coming from inside.
The moonlight is very good, but this kind of moonlight, in such a deep and dark place, looks particularly weird.
I bowed my head again, the dry well was already full of water, and in the sparkling waves, I could see my eyes and stand guard in the ripples.
"Where are we?"
I asked.
"Another time, so that you can hold on longer."
Wang Yi's voice suddenly became younger, and in my surprise, he had become a man in a black cloak, gauze covered his face, and only the voice came out.
"Let's go, go sit in the house for a while!"
Wang Yi stretched out his hand to me, the fingers hidden under the clothes, the bones were distinct, and they were very good-looking.
"What kind of god is Leng ?
Seeing that I didn't react, Wang Yi directly took my hand, dragged me, and went to one of the dilapidated thatched huts together.
When I arrived at the house, the wind outside the door suddenly became much quieter, and on the ground, there was a place with thick straw, and not far away there was a lot of dry firewood, piled aside.
After entering the door, Wang Yi let go of my hand and began to light a fire.
First a small flame was lit with soft straw, and after the fire was a little stronger, the small branches were lit, and finally the fire was drawn to the heavy wood.
The fire was crackling, and in the room, Wang Yi and I sat face to face, and no one spoke.
His face was still hidden in the cloak, and I, all the time, looked at the cloak, trying to see through the covering, his true face.
"What are you looking at?"
Wang Yi tilted his head and looked over.
"Didn't see anything!"
Being found staring at others so directly made me swallow my saliva in embarrassment, and immediately lowered my head and leaned on my feet.
Strange, I was wearing a long gown and a cloak, and I touched my head with my hand, and sure enough, it was an ancient bun.
Could it be that you're locked up again?
I immediately put my hand in front of my eyes and saw the hole left by Han Yunduo in my palm, so I was relieved.
This should be a standstill in time, not reality.
The heart that was put down hung again.
If it's a static time, then why should I follow it into a costume?
"This is your time, your memory, although you have been reincarnated again, but your soul fragments, there are still there."
Wang Yi explained to me, which made me even more confused.
